Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Pomona public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Pallet Yard Fire and Enforcement Sweep
After a three-alarm pallet yard fire on East Ninth Street, the city inspected all twelve pallet yards — six got stop-work orders for dangerous code violations. Garcia called the conditions, including no bathrooms and below-minimum-wage work, 'inhumane.'
ICE Operation, Police Drone, and Alleged Assaults Near City Hall
The council adopted a resolution barring city property from being used to stage federal immigration enforcement. Advocates want a stronger ordinance, an audit of city contractors with DHS ties, and limits on Flock camera data sharing.
LA County Fire services agreement and fire funding sustainability
The council approved a three-year deal keeping LA County Fire as the city's fire department since 1994, but costs rise about $12 million over three years. The city plans to pursue a dedicated funding source and Measure Z on the June ballot to stabilize the fire bill.
