PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On June 7, 2021, as part of the FY 2021-22 adopted budget, the City of Pomona (City) accepted $45.37M of ARP funds from the United States Department of the Treasury, of which $6.8M was budgeted for potential revenue loss.
On August 9, 2021, an ARP study session was held where eligible uses of ARP funds was discussed. The Mayor and City Council provided direction and suggested a plan to allocate $45.37M of the ARP funds.
On September 20, 2021, the Mayor and City Council approved the $45.37M City of Pomona ARP Expenditure Plan.
On June 6, 2022, the City Council approved the proposed ARP Policies and Procedures and adopted the FY 2022-23 budget.
On August 15, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-155 approving an update to the City of Pomona’s Expenditure Plan for ARP funding for FY 2022-23 and increased revenue estimates and appropriations in the amount of $4,000,000.
DISCUSSION:
This Project will provide for the upgrade and/or replacement of the existing exercise stations along the greenbelt and other areas throughout the Phillips Ranch Assessment District. The existing exercise stations are the original install. Therefore, each station requires up-to-date fall zones, new surfacing, and new exercise equipment, as needed. The greenbelt provides opportunities for outdoor exercise, walking, and a healthy environment for City of Pomona residents.
Guidance from the United States Department of the Treasury (Treasury Guidance) allows ARP funds to be used on park improvements within and outside a QCT (Qualified Census Tract), provided the improvements will serve a population that was disproportionately impacted by the pandemic. Treasury Guidance further recognizes that investments in parks, public plazas, and other public outdoor recreation spaces are responsive to the needs of disproportionately impacted communities by promoting healthier living environments and outdoor recreation and socialization to mitigate the spread of Covid-19.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES & GOALS:
This item supports the 2021-22 City Council Priority 5: Goal O: Improve Parks facilities in the following general order of priority: 1) ensuring that existing amenities are functioning; 2) rehabilitating bathrooms and other park facilities and equipment; 5) adding new bathrooms; and 6) adding additional recreation and playground equipment.
