Topics getting the most attention in San Bernardino public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Speicher Park Ballfields Contingency Increase
A proposed $1.3 million boost to the contingency budget for the Speicher Park ballfields, bringing it to about $2.04 million, signals rising project costs for a Ward 2 park.
Shandin Hills Golf Course management and audit
A year after residents began pressing for accountability at the city-owned golf course, the council approved Phase II financial review procedures (up to $136,500) and expanded the citywide audit. Residents say the course was closed on a day other courses were open, $120,000 in transfers can't be traced, and the course is bleeding money.
Feldheym Central Library improvement project
A $10.2 million renovation of the Feldheym Library moved forward with an $8.3 million construction contract — ADA upgrades, backup power, HVAC, security. Most is state grant money, but the council had to find $3.8 million locally and chose the Measure S fund balance over cutting other park and street projects.
