Pomona's COVID-19 Action Committee


A few weeks ago, I formed a Mayor’s initiative called the Pomona COVID-19 Action Committee. This initiative is to allow us to respond to the most immediate needs of our community and to create a plan for once the crisis has passed. It is made up of community leaders from non-profits, public government agencies, city staff, faith-based leadership, and the private sector, as well as two of our City Councilmembers, Nora Garcia and Victor Preciado.
The initiative is made up of five sub-committees. The Basic Needs Committee focuses on providing food and shelter, as well as determining how to get information about resources to those who are more difficult to reach. The Business and Economic Development Needs Committee looks at jobs and small businesses, in order to determine how to help them and make them stronger as we move forward. The Fundraising Committee raises money and makes sure that it gets to the people in the community who need it. The Health and Wellness Committee responds to the hospital and their needs, as well as the mental health needs of our residents. The Educational Needs Committee focuses on delivery of K-12 education for the remainder of the school year as well as planning for next year. All of these committees are focused on the well-being of Pomona residents and businesses.
City of Pomona COVID-19 Hotline:  (909) 620-2311
In addition, the City of Pomona COVID-19 Information Hotline has been set up to allow everyone to find the resources that they need; the hotline can be reached at (909) 620-2311. This initiative is about people coming together to collaborate and cooperate to make our community stronger. It is my belief that the best way for us to move forward is to plan and to organize, and that is what the people of this city are striving to do.

The Farm Store Celebrates BEES!
Bees on poppy
Bees are an essential part of the food chain. One in every three bites of food we eat is due to this magnificent pollinator. Oh yes . . . and we love their HONEY!
CPP honey
CPP HONEY: Pure • Local • Delicious!

Did you know that Cal Poly Pomona has its own apiary? There are about 40 colonies of bees working hard every day to produce delicious raw honey. Students are a big part of this process through nurturing the hives while learning about bee science.

Fun Facts: Raw honey has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. It also has antioxidants and can help boost your immunity! Bees have to fly around 50,000 miles to produce one pound of honey.
The Farm Store has several flavors of CPP Honey available.
It doesn't get any more LOCAL than this!

You can also find plants that attract bees in the nursery.

MYSTERY OF THE 6 P's

MYSTERY OF THE 6 P's, the logo for The City of Pomona.
(this is the continuation of a conversation from a group that our senior administrator, Elaine Griffin, participated in)
The politically correct answer is that those 6 P's represent the 6 council districts for the city. Which has accomplished nothing but to keep the city divided.
But there is a deeper symbolism to those 6 P's................ and the originators knew what they were doing. Further entrenching Pomona in a culture that is close to 100 years old.
Take your pick, but someone definitely had an agenda for The City of Pomona......
1. Pomona Red Hearts
2. Pomona Red Dragons
3. Pomona Sharkies
4. Pomona Cherryville*
5. Pomona Vikings
6. Pomona Lancers
*off-shoot of Sharkies
THE ORIGINAL 6....
http://youtu.be/dOC2L1VdBlc
=======
Elaine did a little test in a couple of FB groups to find out if some of the younger Pomonans know about the symbol, the logo of Pomona, the 6 P's, that they so proudly wear and tatoo on themselves. As suspected most of them have no idea about the history and culture of Pomona or what the 6 P's actually represent. Heck many of the adults between 30 and 49 didn't even know, although many hinted at it.
If we want to effectively represent The City of Pomona, we first have to know it's history. If we do not know our history, how are we going to ensure the validity of a safe future? If we do not know our history aren't we doomed to repeat past mistakes?

Thank you, for saying Thank you

Yes to all those out there, a BIG THANKS!

Mayor's Statement On COVID-19


Mayor’s Statement on COVID-19
First, on behalf of myself and the entire City Council, we would like to thank healthcare workers, city staff, first responders, and others who are working hard to keep us safe. The Pomona City Council and I understand the strain and uncertainty that the COVID-19 Pandemic and the associated social distancing restrictions have caused on everyone’s daily lives. However, it is paramount that we all virtually unite as a community and follow the dictates of public health and government officials – The lives of our most vulnerable populations are literally at stake.  Now is not a time for cavalier behavior, as selfish individual decisions will only exacerbate the long-term negative impacts of this Pandemic on society as we know it.  The emergency orders being issued across the Country are MANDATORY and in the interest of public health – they should not be taken lightly!
