MINERAL IMPACT ASSISTANCE FUND AND AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF

ISSUE
Should the City Council approve the submittal of two grant applications to the Colorado
Department of Local Affairs Energy Mineral Impact Assistance Fund and authorize the
President of City Council to execute same?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution - identifying two grant applications to submit to DOLA and
designating one of the projects as the City's local priority grant application.
BACKGROUND
The City Planning staff has compiled a list of four possible Colorado Department of
Local Affairs Energy Mineral Impact Assistance Fund projects for City Council to
consider submitting for the April 1, 2009 grant application cycle. At the direction of the
local staff from the Department of Local Affairs, the City Council is recommended to
submit no more than two applications and to prioritize the higher priority application.
DOLA is accepting applications for TIER I projects (up to $200,000 request) and TIER II
projects (between $200,000 and $2 million request). The City will need to provide a
minimum of 50% matching funds for each project. In addition, the DOLA funds will need
to be matched with 50% local funding for larger projects that have received federal
funding. The four potential projects to apply for grant funding are listed below with a
project description, amount that would requested from DOLA, the amount of local
matching funds that would be provided for the project, as well as the source of the local
matching funds:

project estimated at $25.4 million. The roadway project is located north of the

and Pueblo West. The Dillon Drive roadway extension and bridge over 1 -25 has been
identified as a priority roadway system improvement by the City and has received a total
$5.427 million Federal Earmark award from the FHWA. $1,000,000 has been
committed at this time for preliminary design. The grant proposal, Phase 1 consists of
design and construction in the amount of $5.227 million (the remaining $4.427 million
Federal and a required local match of $800,000). The design consists of engineering,
environmental studies, and construction documentation. The construction consists of
the roadway and bridge abutments for the overpass. The city needs to provide an
$800,000 matching fund commitment by September of 2009 or the FHWA grant award
will likely be rescinded.
