Funds are available in FY 2024-25 Operating Budget account 101-4110-52420-0000 and will be budgeted in future appropriations.
PREVIOUS RELATED ACTION:
On February 5, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution 2024-01 receiving CNRA grant funding of $300,000 and amending the FY 2023-24 Operating Budget by increasing revenue estimates and appropriating $300,000 in grant funds from CNRA.
DISCUSSION:
On November 8, 2016, California voters passed the Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act (Proposition 64), appropriating funds to CNRA for competitive grants to support youth access to natural or cultural resources through its Youth Community Access Program.
On November 29, 2023, the City was awarded grant funding in the amount of $300,000 for Let’s Move Pomona to acquire two clean-energy, 18-passenger buses with American with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility. However, locating suitable clean-energy buses that met the ADA specifications proved challenging, delaying the purchase. Additionally, the grant funds were not appropriated during the City’s budgeting process following City Council’s acceptance of the grant.
The City has now located the appropriate buses and will be proceeding with the purchase upon City Council action approval. Approval of this action will amend the FY 2024-25 Operating Budget and appropriate funds not appropriated during the FY 2024-25 budgeting process.
COUNCIL PRIORITIES & GOALS:
This item supports the 2021-2022 City Council Priority 1: Fiscal and Operational Responsibility – Goal C: Obtain additional grant funding and other revenues to help achieve City goals.
