FISCAL IMPACT
This recommendation requests the City Manager to provide contributions of $150 to the California Heights Neighborhood Association; $1,000 to the Historical Society of Long Beach; $777 to the Long Beach Century Club; $750 to Partners of Parks; $6,000 to Food Finders; $1,000 to ORALE; and $500 to Long Beach Camerata Singers. The total appropriation increase of $10,177 in the General Fund Group in the City Manager Department will be offset by a decrease in appropriations of the Seventh Council District One-Time District Priority Funds in the General Fund Group in the Citywide Activities Department. The requested action is anticipated to require a minimal level of staff hours beyond the normal budgeted scope of duties and is expected to have minimal impact on existing City Council priorities.
There is no local job impact associated with this recommendation.
