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
To continue this tradition, Mayor Pro Tem Comstock recommends that the City Council approve the following contribution:
• $250 contribution to the Chino Kiwanis Club towards the 2024 Corn Feed Run. The Chino Kiwanis Club serves the Chino community through various services and Citywide fundraising projects.
• $500 contribution to the Chino Police Officers’ Foundation which is dedicated to offer support to families and youth in the community.
• $250 contribution to the Chino American Little League which helps teach Chino’s youth the importance of teamwork, leadership, hard work, and humility through an organized baseball league.
• $500 contribution to the Chino National Little League which provides a safe opportunity for Chino Youth to learn the game of baseball in a fun, safe, and engaging environment while teaching the value of teamwork, the importance of sportsmanship, and leadership.
• $500 contribution to the Chino Girls Fastpitch Softball which provides an opportunity for growth and development of softball and life skills to the highest level achievable through competitive softball.
• $250 contribution to the Chino Boxing Club. Through hard work and developing boxing skills, this group helps Chino youth build their self-esteem, self-respect, character, discipline, and confidence.

• $250 contribution to Isaiah’s Rock which provides food, clothing, and other vital resources to those in need.

• $500 contribution to the Don Lugo High School Sports Booster Club which provides support to every Don Lugo student athlete to conquer his or her future.
• $250 contribution to the Chino High School Sports Boosters which helps promote and support the athletic programs with items such as uniforms, athletic equipment, special events, and scholarships.
• $250 contribution to the Chino Police Explorer Post #211 which 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.
• $125 contribution to the Chino Valley Chamber Foundation will support the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce Leadership Collaborative Project benefitting the Chino Community Children’s Theatre.
By approving these contributions, these groups will be better equipped to provide services to the Chino community. Therefore, as proposed by Mayor Pro Tem Comstock, staff recommends that the City Council approve the community support contributions to Isaiah’s Rock, UCHOOZ Positive Youth, Chino Police Officers’ Foundation, Chino Valley Fire Foundation, Chino Kiwanis Club, Chino American Little League, Chino National Little League, Chino Girls Fastpitch Softball, Chino Boxing Club, Rancho Del Chino Rotary Club, Chino Valley Soroptimist Club, Don Lugo High School Sports Booster Club, Chino High School Sports Boosters, Chino Police Explorer Post #211, and Chino Valley Chamber Foundation Leadership Project supporting the Chino Community Children’s Theatre.
