About this file
This is a Cost Narrative Template and Budget Guidance document for the City of Long Beach, California's Downtown Activation & Events program. The template provides instructions for applicants to submit comprehensive budget proposals in Excel format for a one-year program period. The budget framework requires applicants to organize expenses into two primary scope areas: Outreach/Education and Technical Assistance. Personnel expenses must identify specific positions and corresponding salaries or wages requested from the City, with staff time calculations not required. The template includes sections for estimated outcomes, including metrics such as the number of businesses served, number of consumers engaged, and dollars of consumer spending generated.
The budget structure allows for Personnel Expenses, Non-Personnel/Other Expenses (including direct operating costs such as meeting expenses, travel, program supplies, postage, printing, and office rent allocations), and Indirect/Overhead Costs capped at 5% of total expenses. Applicants must calculate Benefits as a percentage of personnel costs and adjust formulas accordingly. Non-Personnel/Other Expenses may include consultants and sub-grants to partner organizations, which must be itemized and grouped by scope area. The template requires applicants to identify the budget applicant and budget contact name and phone number, with all expenses totaled to establish the final funding request from the City of Long Beach.
