Title
CONSIDER RESOLUTION NO. 18-075 TO INCREASE THE FY 2017-18 BUDGET FOR AUDIO/VISUAL SERVICES PROVIDED BY 5X5 AV BROADCAST SUPPORT FOR THE CONGRESSWOMAN JUANITA MILLENDER-MCDONALD COMMUNITY CENTER (CITY COUNCIL)
Body
I. SUMMARY
The Congresswoman Juanita Millender-McDonald Community Center contracts for audio/ visual services (A/V) through 5X5 AV Broadcast Support. Due to an increased number of A/V requests, the funds budgeted for the current fiscal year have been depleted. Staff is requesting that City Council approve a budget amendment of $18,000.00 to cover the cost for the remainder of the FY 2017-18. Note that this service is a budget pass-through i.e. a portion of the expended funds are offset by revenues generated by providing this service to the public.

2. WAIVE further reading and ADOPT Resolution No. 18-075, "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON, CALIFORNIA, AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2017-18 BUDGET IN THE COMMUNITY CENTER GENERAL FUND ACCOUNT."
