Summary
A deputy chief of staff for Rep. Jim Costa informed the council that the Appropriations Committee selected Kingsburg's community project for $1,000,000 toward an emergency operations center after a requested amount of approximately $2.65 million.
Kingsburg — During public comment at the June 18 council meeting, Larry Salinas, deputy chief of staff for U.S. Rep. Jim Costa (CA-20), told the council that the congressional appropriations process selected Kingsburg's community project request for funding toward an emergency operations center.
Salinas said the city requested about $2,652,000 and that the Appropriations Committee is appropriating $1,000,000 to support the creation of an emergency operations center. "The appropriation committee had selected Kingsburg this application for funding. I know the amount was requested at $2,600,000 I believe $2,652,000 and they're appropriating at $1,000,000 on that to help assist with the creation of your operation center," Salinas said.
Salinas identified himself as the deputy chief of staff for Rep. Jim Costa and provided the district office phone number and website for constituent services.

Salinas encouraged residents to contact the district office for federal casework needs.
