Full summary

On April 29, 2026, Councilmember Curren D. Price Jr. introduced a motion, seconded by Ysabel Jurado, to transfer $20,256 from the AB1290 Fund (CD9 Redevelopment Projects - Services account) to the Department of Recreation and Parks to fund FIFA World Cup community celebration and viewing events at park facilities in Council District 9. The motion explains that the City of Los Angeles will host World Cup matches and related activities in summer 2026, and that Recreation and Parks is coordinating family-friendly events at park sites citywide so residents can participate in the tournament. The transferred funds would cover staffing, security, equipment, programming, and other operational costs tied to those events. The motion also authorizes Recreation and Parks to make any technical corrections, clarifications, or revisions to the fund transfer instructions — including changes to account numbers — in order to carry out the intent of the motion. This is standard administrative flexibility language allowing the department to resolve bookkeeping issues without returning to Council. The item moved quickly through the legislative process without a committee referral. The City Clerk scheduled it directly for a Council floor vote on May 5, 2026, where it passed 14-0-1. As of May 6, the file was transmitted to the Mayor, who has until May 18, 2026 to sign or take other action.
