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 were discussed. The City Council provided direction and suggested a plan to allocate $45.37M of the ARP funds.
On September 20, 2021, the 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.
On July 17, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-120 creating "District 4 Park Security Upgrades,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71091, and appropriated $60,000 of District 4 ARP funding to the project.
DISCUSSION:
Originally, the Project was created to add security camera systems at Garfield Park, Montvue Park, Lincoln Park, and Jaycee Park in an effort to enhance safety. However, it was recently determined that the initial project funds were not sufficient to cover the costs for the security camera systems. As such, focus has shifted to pressing needs at Jaycee Park including upgrades to the existing snack bar and doors, as well as to provide new netting around the baseball field for enhanced safety.
Adoption of the resolution will change the title from “District 4 Park Security Upgrades,” Project No. 428-2590-XXXXX-71091 to “District 4 Jaycee Park Snack Bar and Security Upgrades.” It will also replace the current description to “Upgrade the snack bar at Jaycee Park, replace the doors for additional security, and add netting for additional safety.” Finally, it will appropriate an additional $80,000 of ARP funds to the Project to fund the improvements.
Guidance from the United States Department of Treasury (Treasury Guidance) allows ARP funds to be used on park improvements within and outside a QCT (Qualified Census Tract), and the proposed 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.
