TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING THE EXTENSION OF THE PERFORMANCE
PERIOD FOR A GRANT FROM THE CHEMICAL STOCKPILE EMERGENCY
PREPAREDNESS PROGRAM (CSEPP)
ISSUE
In accepting a grant of up to $1,000,000 from CSEPP, passed through Pueblo
County, the City expressed its intention to expend matching funds of up to
$2,000,000 by September 30, 2007. Should this self- imposed deadline be
extended to December 31, 2009?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the deadline extension until December 31, 2009
BACKGROUND
The City accepted a grant of up to $1,000,000 (Resolution 10397, May 9, 2005)
and agreed to matching funds at a two -to -one ratio. The matching funds can be
comprised of almost any non - grant- funded radio system expense or most
expenses related to construction of the new 911 Dispatch and Communications
Center. The extended deadline will allow expenses associated with that new
Center to be applied to the City's obligation to provide matching funds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The grant requires a two -to -one match. Of the $1,000,000 of available grant
funds, the City has expended or contractually committed to $986,000 of
expenses that are reimbursable under the terms of this grant. The remaining
acquisition of radio equipment and constructing /equipping the new 911 Dispatch
and Communications Center will be counted as the City's match.
