BACKGROUND submittal of a 2007 Grant Application for State restoration of City Hall and Memorial Hall and to execute same? The project is Phase I of a multi -phase restoration of the Pueblo City Hall & Memorial Hall. The State Historical Fund will regard the project as a stand -alone project, and completion of future phases is not required in order to receive the grant. Immediate concerns are water damage in interior walls from failing gutters and mortar joints. The project follows the recommendations provided by a 2001 Historic Structural Assessment and Master Plan, completed with assistance from the State Historical Fund. The study identified the following "Prioritized Work" items: 1) Repair leaks at gutters on both City Hall and Memorial Hall; 2) Tuck Point all cornices to prevent water penetration into stonework; 3) Provide lateral reinforcement of the cupola structure; and 4) Maintain or remove non - historic roll roofing and replace with barrel tile roofing. The project scope of work will consist of 1) hiring a restoration and roofing consultant, 2) roofing and waterproofing and 3) exterior closures. The present project is focused on these tasks. FINANCIAL IMPACT The State Historical Fund grant request is for $200,000. The Local Match required is in the amount of $970,000, for a project total of $1,170,000. Of the City match portion, $485,000 will be requested from the Energy and Mineral Impact Fund of the Colorado Department of Local Affairs at its December grant cycle, and $485,000 will need to be committed from General Fund Revenues. A significant amount of insurance claim money is anticipated to be received from the recent hailstorm damage to the roof, which will assist in a portion of the local match requirement.
