TITLE
A RESOLUTION APPROVING AN AGREEMENT FOR COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT SERVICES
BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND POSADA, INC., A
COLORADO NON - PROFIT CORPORATION, AUTHORIZING THE PRESIDENT OF CITY COUNCIL
TO EXECUTE SAME.
ISSUE
Should the City Council award an Agreement with Posada, Inc. to provide services under the Homelessness
Prevention and Rapid Re- Housing Program (HPRP) grant and budget and appropriate funds for the services?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, the City received a HPRP grant, in the amount
of $678,970. A Request for Proposals was issued in August 2009. A proposal was received from Posada,
Inc., acting as the lead agency in a collaborative composed of Catholic Charities and Colorado Legal
Services. The requirements of the grant are such that an agency with prior experience with the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) HMIS reporting system was required. This
requirement was driven by the amount of funding available for the administration of the program, which was
capped at 5% of the grant ($33,948.50) for the 3 —year period, which is to be shared between the grantee and
its subgrantee.
The proposal was scored for qualifications and experience, as well as the capacity to work with the HMIS
system and provide increased homeless case management. This was the only proposal received, as
anticipated. Posada, Inc., is the only homeless supportive services provider in Pueblo. It has past experience
working with the State's Continuum of Care and has been a recipient of McKinney -Vento Homeless
Assistance Act funds for its programs through the Office of Special Needs Housing at HUD.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The services shall be paid for from the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re- Housing Program (HPRP)
already awarded by HUD and accepted by the City.

CONTRIBUTIONS
(a) Section 15 of Article XXVIII of the Colorado Constitution is hereby incorporated into this

follows:
Section 15: Because of a presumption of impropriety between contributions to any campaign
and sole source government contracts, contract holders shall contractually agree, for the duration
of the contract and for two years thereafter, to cease making, causing to be made, or inducing by
any means, a contribution, directly or indirectly, on behalf of the contract holder or on behalf of
his or her immediate family member and for the benefit of any political party or for the benefit of
any candidate for any elected office of the state or any of its political subdivisions.
Section 17: (1) Every sole source government contract by the state or any of its political
subdivisions shall incorporate Article XXVIII, Section 15, into the contract. Any person who
intentionally accepts contributions on behalf of a candidate committee, political committee, small

governmental entity, or if a person acting on behalf of the governmental entity, obtains
knowledge of a contribution made or accepted in violation of Section 15, and that person

government contract relating to that particular ballot issue.

Section 17(2), as contractual damages that contract holder shall be ineligible to hold any sole
source government contract, or public employment with the state or any of its political
subdivisions, for three years. The governor may temporarily suspend any remedy under this
section during a declared state of emergency.
(4) Knowing violation of Section 15 or Section 17(2) by an elected or appointed official is
grounds for removal from office and disqualification to hold any office of honor, trust or profit in
the state, and shall constitute misconduct or malfeasance.
(5) A registered voter of the state may enforce Section 15 or Section 17(2) by filing a
complaint for injunctive or declaratory relief or for civil damages and remedies, if appropriate, in
the district court.
(b) This section applies only to sole source government contracts and does not apply to any
contract which used a public and competitive bidding process in which the City solicited at least three
bids prior to awarding the contract.
(c) Contractor certifies, warrants, and agrees that it has complied and will comply with
Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII, including but not necessarily limited to the following prohibitions
and obligations:
1. If during the term of the contract, contractor holds sole source government contracts
with the State of Colorado and any of its political subdivisions cumulatively totaling more than
$100,000 in a calendar year, then for the duration of this contract and for two years after,
contractor will not make, cause to be made, or induce by any means a contribution, directly or
indirectly, on behalf of contractor or contractor's immediate family member(s) for the benefit of
any political party or for the benefit of any candidate any elected office of the State or any of its
political subdivisions; and
2. Contractor represents that contractor has not previously made or caused to be made,
and will not in the future make or cause to be made any contribution intended to promote to

contemporaneously provide a copy of such report(s) to City's Purchasing Agent; and
4. Contractor understands that any breach of this section or of Contractor's
responsibilities under Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII may result in either contractual or
constitutionally mandated penalties and remedies; and
5. A Contractor that intentionally violates Colorado Constitution Article XXVIII,
Section 15 or 17(2), shall be ineligible to hold any sole source government contract, or public
employment with the state or any of its political subdivisions for three years; and
6. By execution of this contract, Contractor hereby confirms it is qualified and eligible
under such provisions to enter into this contract.
(d) For purposes of this section, the term "contractor" shall include persons that control ten
percent or more shares or interest in contractor, as well as contractor's officers, directors, and trustees.

in -law, parent, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, stepbrother, stepsister, stepparent, parent -in -law, brother -

corresponding requirement or requirements of this section shall have no further force and effect, and shall
not constitute a requirement of this contract, as of the date of such holding, declaration, repeal or
determination.
