Summary
Staff announced a $1.2 million congressional community project award for converting Sandburg Middle School’s park and track; the original request was for $5 million and the award is pending presidential signature and agency transmission.
City staff reported the City of Glendora will receive $1,200,000 in congressional community project funding for a Sandburg Middle School park and track conversion. Moises Lopez told the council the original application requested $5,000,000; the city will take the awarded $1.2 million and coordinate with the school district to prioritize the project.
Staff cautioned the money will not be available immediately: the legislation has passed and is awaiting the president’s signature and transmission to agencies, and the city does not expect to receive funds for several months. Lopez said planning work can begin in the interim. The council thanked Congressman Cisneros and his staff for supporting the application.
No formal action was taken on the award at the meeting; staff will coordinate with the school district and follow the federal funding process.
