1st Year in OfficeDear Pomona,

Thank you! You all made my first year as District 3’s councilmember a year I will never forget.

First and foremost, I want to thank my family and friends for their unwavering support. From the first knock to last month’s beautification day at Philadelphia Park their help has meant so much to me.

Next, I would like to thank the Commissioners of District 3. A year ago, I did not know many of them, but through our one-on-one meetings throughout the last year I have gotten to know them and value the work they do for District 3.

Finally, I want to thank you all again. Almost two years ago I decided to make a stronger commitment to my neighborhood and city by running for city council. I remain today as I was on the morning the election results came in: humbled and honored by your vote of confidence. I try to regularly show you that your trust was not misplaced through various social media post and emails, but I wanted to give you a small update on how I have served D3 over the last year:

• Conducted a tour of District 3 with Staff to communicate District Priorities

• Fired the previous City Attorney

• Created the 1st Annual Women’s Heart Walk

• Held a Worker’s Rights Class

• Obtained funding for a trip to the Museum of Tolerance for over 50 Pomona youth and chaperones

• Painted Over 1, 000 ft of red curb

• Hired the new City Attorney

• Adoption of Ordinance No. 4268 and Code Amendment No. 12173-2019, Amending the Pomona Zoning Ordinance Pertaining to Legal Nonconforming Waste & Recycling Uses

• Adoption of Ordinance Adopting a Code Amendment to the City of Pomona Zoning Ordinance (PZ) to Regulating Accessory Dwelling Units in Accordance with State Law

• Philadelphia Park Beautification (Art in the park, tree planting, and installation of an LFL)

• Adopted an Urgency Ordinance for Renters

• Finalized Pomona’s Cannabis Business Ordinance and Zoning

• Held Bi-annual Community Meetings and community input meetings with city staff throughout the district

• Organized a Wellness Meeting with Day One Pomona, PVHMC, PUSD, and SGV Mosquito Control (free flu shots, nutrition education, and mosquito control)

• Approved the reinstatement of Pomona’s Youth Commission

• Continue to support various Community events and organizations

• Meet with Residents and the State regarding Prop. 68 Grant Application

• Attended and participated in dozens of regular and special meetings to conduct city business

• Worked with Project Sister Family Services and Humanity Church on a self defense class.

• Communicate with Public Works staff regarding street repairs

• Work with Community Services staff to improve programming at parks

…AND MUCH MORE!

Thank you again for your support and I look forward to working with you and for you for the rest of my time in office. -- Nora

The PPD Traffic Unit will be conducting a DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint this FRIDAY, December 6th from 9PM-3AM.

DUI checkpoints and saturation patrols are done in locations with a higher frequency of DUI-related collisions and arrests. During the checkpoint, officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, with officers checking drivers for proper licensing.

PPD offers these tips to ensure you have a safe night of fun that doesn’t involve a DUI:
▫️Always use a designated sober driver – a friend who is not drinking, ride-share, cab or public transportation – to get home.
▫️See someone who is clearly impaired try and drive? Take the keys and help them make other arrangements to find a sober way home.
▫️Report drunk drivers – Call 911.

Funding for these enforcement efforts are provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. ... See MoreSee Less
