Resident questions CDBG plan funding and park siting during Pomona Park special meeting
Summary
Resident Larry Flaman asked the council and consultants about project funding and which park features would be sited at Mayor Park; council members and the consultant answered that the town is committing $25,000 as leverage and that final siting and dimensions (such as trail length) are to be determined.
During public comment at the special meeting, resident Larry Flaman asked how the proposed projects would be funded and sought clarification about which items would be placed at Mayor Park, asking specifically, "How many linear feet the trail will be?" Jeffrey Winters replied that the project package had been recommended by the CATF committee and that the town's $25,000 commitment would serve as leveraged funds for the CDBG application.
Council members asked procedural and timeline questions; Councilman Rohrbaugh asked about the grant review timeline and Winters said the process generally takes about 60 days and includes a site visit. The council voted to authorize the application and committed the local match; the transcript does not record a detailed funding breakdown or final siting decisions for park features.
