Finance committee recommends one-time $5,000 donation to LA Valley Food Pantry
Summary
The finance committee voted to recommend that the city council approve a one-time $5,000 donation to the LA Valley Food Pantry; the recommendation passed unanimously at the committee level and will be forwarded to the full council for final approval.
The finance committee voted to recommend that the City Council approve a one-time $5,000 donation to the LA Valley Food Pantry.
The recommendation came after a brief discussion that the item had been addressed at the previous finance committee meeting and that staff and the federal liaison advised placing the item again on the agenda. "I think if memory serves correctly, we decided we voted on doing a $5,000 donation to the Almond Valley Food Pantry," one committee member said; the committee recorded the motion for a one‑time donation and took roll call.
Alderman Thompson made the motion, and Alderman Dimas seconded it. The roll-call votes recorded "Aye" from Alderman Dimas, Alderman Thompson, Alderman Reynolds, Alderman Laverre, Alderman Herndon and Alderman Crane. The committee chair confirmed the recommendation is from the finance committee to the full City Council, not a final council action. "That's the finance committee recommendation again, not the council," the chair said.
Because the committee's vote is a recommendation, the donation requires final approval by the City Council at a future meeting.
