Council moves $500,000 state grant to reimburse Southside Pool; opening set for June 14
Summary
Council approved a technical appropriation to reimburse $500,000 in state funds earmarked by Assemblymember McCarty for the Southside Pool in District 4; staff said the funds are not new and the pool is scheduled to open June 14.
The Sacramento City Council on May 27 approved a staff request to reappropriate state grant funds for the Southside Pool in District 4 so the city can seek reimbursement; the pool is scheduled to open June 14.
Parks staff presented the item as a financial and administrative action: it does not add new funding but moves previously earmarked funds so the city can complete reimbursement paperwork for a project that has been delayed in state systems. Jason Wiseman, park planning and development manager in the Department of Youth, Parks and Community Enrichment, told council the $500,000 was secured by Assemblymember McCarty and that processing delays required the appropriation action.
Councilmember Balaban thanked Assemblymember McCarty and neighborhood leaders and moved the item; council approved the appropriation by voice vote with no public speakers on the item. Wiseman said the pool is scheduled to open June 14.
Ending
Councilmembers and staff welcomed the scheduled opening; no additional policy action or budget changes were taken at the meeting beyond the reimbursement appropriation.
