Agenda Item #
Date: APRIL 13, 1998
On behalf of the City of Pueblo and the County of Pueblo, the City of Pueblo
as the "lead" municipality is submitting the attached application to the
Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) for funding of the Pueblo City /County
Intergovernmental Cooperation Program. We are requesting $40,000 in Energy
and Mineral Impact Assistance Funds for the calendar year 1999 Technical
Assistance Program. Should we be successful, this will be the fifth year we
will have received technical assistance funds from DOLA.
Funds from this grant are to be used to fund an incumbent Project
Coordinator. It is the Coordinator's responsibility to foster coordination
and assistance with respect to intergovernmental planning and energy /mineral
impact activities within State Planning and Management Region No. 7. As per
the present agreement between the City and County, City Manager Lew Quigley
is the administrator of the Contract. The Project Coordinator is housed
within a City of Pueblo facility and works under the direction of the Pueblo
City Manager. The work program is jointly developed by the President of the
Pueblo City Council and the Chairperson of the Pueblo County Commissioners.
For the past four years of this Contract, the Director of the Department of
Planning and Development for the City has served as the incumbent Project
Coordinator. Four years ago, Mr. Tom Martinez, Assistant City Manager, was
transferred to the Planning Department and took over the normal
administrative duties of the department to free up the director to perform
these additional duties. The work program in the past has included the
Communities of Pueblo Strategic Plan, the City /County EZ /EC Grant
Application, the Governor's Smart Growth Initiative, the HARP Project, and
other downtown redevelopment projects. The work program for 1998 is the
updating of the Pueblo Regional Comprehensive Development Plan The
proposed work program for 1999 includes the Pueblo Regional Comprehensive
Development Plan Update and supporting Intergovernmental Cooperative
Downtown Redevelopment Projects that promote economic diversification
lessening the community's dependence an energy related industry.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Match money for this grant comes from the monies budgeted for the normal
operation of the Department of Planning and Development.
