RECOMMENDATION Approval of this Resolution. BACKGROUND The El Pueblo History Museum Trading Post was completed in 2001 as a component of the El Pueblo Master Plan. It was constructed with funds from the Packard Foundation, Energy Mineral Impact assistance Fund, and the Colorado Department of Transportation, Enhancements Funds Program. No City funds were used for the construction. The transfer of the property to another public agency does not jeopardize the loss or replacement of grant funds under contract with the City. The Colorado Historical society has entered a Facilities Use Agreement with the City of Pueblo in November 2001 for the use of the adobe trading post. The building itself is used extensively by the Museum for educational programs and events. The maintenance of the facility will no longer be the responsibility of the City. Enclosed please find a copy of the Quit Claim Deed. FINANCIAL IMPACT The State will be responsible for maintenance and operation costs of this previously owned City property. There is no other Financial Impact.
