ISSUE
Should City Council enter into an agreement with the HARP Foundation whereby the

RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The HARP Foundation has funds in the amount of $100,000 for developing the preliminary
design and engineering plans for Phase III of the HARP extension to the Pueblo Convention
Center. The design will determine the layout of the river channel as it will pass behind the
Police Station and connect with the future expansion of the convention center. The City will
approve the design and engineering of the project.
As part of the agreement, the HARP Foundation requests that the City relocate the Municipal
Courts operation by December 2003 and the City is requesting that the HARP Foundation have
the funds to begin construction prior to this date. This Resolution provides the necessary
agreement for transfer of funds from the HARP Foundation to the City to accomplish said
project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Planning and Public Works Departments will provide necessary services in administrating
and reviewing of the design. Per this agreement, the HARP Foundation will fund $100,000 for
the development of the Preliminary Design and Engineering plans for Phase III of HARP.
As per the agreement, the City Council will need to relocate the Municipal Court operation at an
estimated cost of $60,000 annually, which will not be funded as part of this project. The
relocation cost of $60,000 does not include the initial remodeling cost at a new space or moving
cost.
