Subject: Transfer of Funds: Long Beach Public Library Foundation RECOMMENDATION:
Increase appropriations in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department by $600, offset by the Seventh Council District One-time District Priority Funds, transferred from the Citywide Activities Department to provide a contribution to the Long Beach Public Library Foundation to support the 20th Annual Grape Expectations on October 1, 2023; and,
Decrease appropriations in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department by $600 to offset a transfer to the City Manager Department.
DISCUSSION:

Since 1996, the Long Beach Public Library Foundation has provided support to enhance Long Beach Public Libraries and encourage literacy and education for all members of the community. The Long Beach Public Library Foundation supports programming such as Family Learning Centers, Makerspace Studios, Literacy Support, student empowerment, and bridging the digital divide.
This matter has been reviewed by Budget Analyst Joe R. Guerrero on August 3, 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
