the non - compliant ADA issues, preliminary design solutions, and budget of expected
costs to make the facility compliant. The firm has completed the study and has
identified the cost to construct the needed facility improvements to be $621,000. An
additional 15% or $93,150 has been included for contingencies and 10% or $71,415 is
included for the architectural, engineering and testing fees resulting in a total project
cost of $785,565.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City of Pueblo has budgeted $200,000 in the 2005 budget (CP0504) and an
additional $200,000 in the 2006 budget for this project. The City will be requesting the
balance of $385,565 from the Department of Local Affairs.

D. RELATIONSHIP TO ENERGY /MINERAL IMPACT.
Assistance program is to provide financial assistance to
an opportunity for the applicant to
p of application to those impacts.
The statutory purpose to the Energy and Mineral Impact
Is and mineral fuels This section of the application is it
energy /mineral impacts, both direct and indirect, and the
1. Explain how this project is directly or indirectiv related to energy /mineral impacts, including whether it mitigates
any adverse impacts.
Many of the families which are employed in the local energy /mineral sectors reside within Pueblo's eastside
neighborhoods. This recreation facility serves those families.
2. a. What direct energy /mineral impacts are being experienced by the applicant? Examples of direct impacts
include: road /bridge /culvert damage, fire protectiontemergency medical services, dust suppression, sound
visual mitigation, weed control, economic boom /busts and other direct physical, social or economic impacts.
Energy /mineral sector employment continues to show a general trend of decline, due primarily to reduction
in the demand for oil exploration pipe products manufactured by Rocky Mountain Steel Mills. (Please see
attached table). For the third quarter of 1995, energy /mineral sector workers in Pueblo numbered 2,337. For
3 quarter 2006, this sector's employment was 1,665. This represents a 29.2% decrease. Although Rocky
Mountain Steel will be hiring approximately 150 workers to reopen its pipe mill, the demand for seamless
pipe remains volatile.
b. What types and amounts of local funds and resources are being used by the applicant to address
direct energy /mineral impacts? Examples of funds and resources include: road and bridge funds,
Highway User Trust Fund allocations, industry assessments or contributions, sales or property taxes,
staff time, etc.
Pueblo has a 0.6 -cent sales tax which is used to attract primary jobs, and we use numerous funding sources
to create affordable housing and community amenities.

3. List energy /mineral activities (past, present and future) affecting the applicant. Be as specific as possible by listing
company names, locations, production levels, employment levels, etc. Include not only production projects (e.g., oil,
gas, carton dioxide, coal, molybdenum, gold, etc.), but also processing, transmission (e.g., oil /gas pipelines, electric
transmission lines, etc.), transportation (e.g., roads, rail lines, etc.) and energy conversion facilities (e.g., coal and
gas -fired electric generating facilities).
Subsequent to the strike of 1997, RMS is operating with a work force of approximately 300 less than at the pre-
strike level. RMS has reopened the seamless tube mill, employing an additional 150 workers, which is directly
related to demand for seamless tube products for the oil industry, there remains considerable fluctuation in
demand and employment. Abandonment of rail lines located E/W through Pueblo as a result of the UP/SP rail
merger resulted in a loss of approximately 139 workers and Shipment of ENV coal through Pueblo. The
expansion of Xcel's Comanche coal fired generating facility will result in an additional 1000 construction jobs
over a 4 year period and an additional 30 to 40 permanent jobs created to operate the facility. Please see
attached Related Employment.
4. Are energy /mineral companies that impact the applicant jurisdiction aware of and supportive of this request?
Yes No X Attach supporting documentation when appropriate.

The El Centro facility was created from the former Fountain Elementary School gymnasium in 1976. When
the facility was created, ramps and other accessibility improvements were made to the building. These
improvements do not meet current ADA standards. The City entered into a settlement agreement, which
requires this facility to be brought up to standard within three years, or the facility will be closed. The City
