Twentynine Palms City Council talks money tonight

11

Tuesday evening, the Twentynine Palms City Council will gather for a public hearing on revisions to the General Fund, and discuss event grants, contributions to local nonprofits, and a possible partnership.

Tonight’s meeting of the Twentynine Palms City Council will include a public hearing on proposed budget revisions for the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2024-25. The revisions include a cost-of-living adjustment for city employees and a fund transfer for the animal shelter project.

Council will then discuss Community Events Grants and a recommendation to provide $20,000 in funding to the Dine 29 Food Festival + Restaurant Week.

Next, the council will consider contributions to several non-profit agencies. (The city allocates $50,000 annually to support local non-profit organizations.) Four organizations submitted applications and presented their funding requests at a mid-February workshop.

Finally, the council will consider partnering with Women of Color Global (WOCG) in applying for the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) Environmental and Climate Justice Program. The meeting takes place on Tuesday, May 28, at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall, 6136 Adobe Road. It can be livestreamed or viewed on-demand via the city’s website, www.29palms.org.
