Mountain Park?
Approval of the Resolution.
The current agreement with the Mountain Park Environmental Center (MPEC) covers
the building originally designated as a caretakers residence. The building now houses
MPEC.
The proposed agreement would replace the agreement with a new scope of
responsibilities to include renovation of the Horseshoe Lodge and MPEC's operations
from that location. Covering a five -year period, the agreement allows for building
renovations to be done in phases after prior consultation and approval by the City of
Pueblo.
Upon the completion of successful renovations, MPEC will operate the Lodge as a
Retreat lodge as well as an environmental learning center.
The term of the contract is for a period of five (5) years from October 23, 2006 to
October 22, 2011. MPEC shall have the right and option to extend the initial agreement
for an additional five years. Additionally, MPEC may extend the term of the agreement
after the extended term for two successive terms of five years each.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Mountain Park Environmental Center is responsible for raising all funds needed for
the physical renovation of the Horseshoe Lodge. Construction is not to begin until the
funds are available and deemed sufficient by the City. Phase One funds are to be
raised by the MPEC by December 1, 2008.
MPEC is not to request more than eighteen percent of its annual operating budget from
the City of Pueblo or from the Community Services Advisory Commission.
