Nearly 400 Rialto employees will receive one-time lump sum payments of $3,000 for their work during the coronavirus pandemic.
The move garnered unanimous support from the City Council last week.
“I only wish we could’ve gotten it out sooner,” Mayor Deborah Robertson said June 14.
Dubbed essential workers by federal, state and city leaders, eligible full- and part-time employees are those presently active in Rialto with at least six months of employment as of March 12, 2022.
Union and non-union city employees can receive the money.
In recognizing how instrumental city workers were in keeping government afloat the past two-plus years, federal officials have given cities the chance to reward their employees for such essential work.
It is unclear how many Inland cities have taken advantage of the opportunity.
Approximately $1.1 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds will be used to issue payments to the 366 active Rialto workers who meet the criteria.
