Annually, the City of Chino Hills requests support for state and federal funding for community projects that reflect the priorities of the City of Chino Hills and its residents.
Last year, the City submitted letters of support to Congresswoman Kim, Congresswoman Torres, Senator Butler, and Senator Padilla asking them for support for funding for the following Chino Hills Community projects: Electric Resiliency and Sustainability, Recycled Water System Expansion, Fire Risk Reduction Project, Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure at the City Yard, and the Los Serranos Community - Fairway Boulevard Flood Protection. All of the City's submissions were selected except for the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure at the City Yard, but we have yet to know if any projects were approved by Congress for Fiscal Year 2024-25 Community Project Funding requests.
This year, staff discussed possible Community Funding Projects for such as:
- Big League Dreams Sports Park enhancements (parking, accessible playground, restrooms)
- Solar Panels at the City Yard
- Roadway work in Los Serranos
- Los Serranos Golf Netting and/or flood control on Fairway Drive
- Old Fire Station off Eucalyptus
- Community Garden - 5 acres in Los Serranos owned by Greening
- ADU - water project, individual services to each property
- McCoy Equestrian Center - Technology Upgrade (PA System, Lighting, etc.)
- Recycled Water - Western Hills, North Side of City - Parks/Landscape Needs
- Carbon Canyon Liquor Store (secure, possibly turn area into park)
- Electronic charging stations in City (public and EV Fleet)
- Climate Resiliency (landscaping w/ native plants)
- Citizens on Patrol Vehicles
- Park Efficiencies
- Irrigation Meters to Smart Readers
- Pine Avenue extension project
Staff recommends that the committee discuss the projects and direct City staff on which project should be prepared for Fiscal Year 2025-26 consideration.
