BACKGROUND
The City of Chino is fortunate to have multiple non-profits and community groups dedicated to serving the public and preserving Chino’s unique history. To assist in their ongoing efforts, the City Council from time to time authorizes expenditures from the City’s community support fund. These expenditures serve a valid public purpose by helping to continue the outstanding services that these organizations provide to our community.
ISSUES/ANALYSIS

• Boy Scout Troop 201 - $250: Supports a local boy scout troop which supports local volunteer efforts while developing character, discipline, integrity, and leadership skills.
• Chino American Little League - $500: Helps teach Chino’s youth the importance of teamwork, leadership, hard work, and humility through an organized baseball league.

• Chino Police Officers’ Foundation (Chino Police Explorer Post #211) - $250: Provides our community’s youth the opportunity to build their character and learn about the many aspects of law enforcement. Likewise, the program allows our community’s youth to give back to their community through supporting community services events.
• Chino Pop Warner - $250: Teaches our community’s youth the values of leadership, teamwork, responsibility, and work ethic through an organized football and cheerleading program.
• Isaiah’s Rock - $250: Provides food, clothing, and other vital resources to those in need.

• UCHOOZ Positive Youth - $250: Provides positive activities and support for youth in and around the Downtown Chino area.
By approving these contributions, these groups will be better equipped to provide services to the Chino community.
