ISSUE
Should the City Council approve the submittal of a grant application to the Colorado
Department of Local Affairs Energy Mineral Impact Assistance Fund relating to the
Pueblo Community Health Center Project and authorize the President of City Council to
execute same?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City Planning staff reviewed a list of possible Colorado Department of Local Affairs
Energy Mineral Impact Assistance Fund projects with City Council at the June 23, 2008
City Council work session. City Council authorized the submittal of grant applications
for the City of Pueblo Fire Station No. 4 Project and the Pueblo Community Health
Center Project on August 1, 2008. The Fire Station No. 4 project was ranked as the
City's top priority of the applications submitted in August 2008. The DOLA staff
recommended to the City staff that the Pueblo Community Health Center Project be
withdrawn from consideration based on the number of applications received by DOLA
and the likelihood that only one project would be funded for Pueblo. The City staff
contacted Byron Geer, CEO of the Pueblo Community Health Center and he agreed to
withdraw their application from consideration by DOLA for the August grant cycle.
A grant application for the Pueblo Community Health Center Project has been prepared
for the December 1, 2008 funding cycle of Energy Mineral Impact Assistance Funds.
The grant request will fund the following project described below:
Pueblo Community Health Center Project
The Pueblo Community Health Center Electronic Health Records System grant request
is for $500,000 in DOLA Energy Impact Assistance Funds to supplement City, County
and Community Health Center funds to purchase and install equipment for a new
medical clinic being constructed at 107 East Routt Avenue. The total project cost is
estimated to be $1.2 million, with the City and County each providing $100,000 in
matching funds and the Pueblo Community Health Center Project providing $500,000 in
matching funds for the purchase of equipment for the medical clinic that will be owned
by the City and County.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The total cost for the Pueblo Community Health Center Project is estimated to be $1.2
million with $100,000 in matching funds being provided by the City from the General
Fund, $100,000 from Pueblo County funds, and $500,000 in funds from the Pueblo
Community Health Center. The DOLA Energy Mineral Impact Assistance Fund grant is
requesting $500,000 to supplement the other local funding to purchase equipment for the
new medical clinic.
