Approval of the Resolution. BACKGROUND The proposed project will construct five (5) small and one (1) large (100 - person) picnic structures. The project will also include four (4) freestanding fabric sail -type structures located in the kiddie ride area of the Park. These structures are various sizes and shapes and will provide much needed shade and shelter for visitors. The shade shelters will be equipped with picnic tables and trash cans. The project includes 8,500 square feet of concrete pedestrian trails to provide access to the structures and playground and 500 linear feet of concrete curbhead around the swingsets. The landscape will be renovated with western landscape. A sign at the entrance to the kiddie rides will complete the project. The project is located within the existing Pueblo City Park, which not only serves the immediate neighborhoods, but also the entire community. In addition, because of the Kiddie Rides, Pueblo Zoo and the Party Caboose, this park is visited by people from outside Pueblo as well. The addition of the shelter and shade enhancements will create a more pleasant setting for visitors by allowing them to get out of the hot, Pueblo sun and inclement weather; therefore, making their time at the City Park more enjoyable. The estimated cost of the project is $405,000. The Spring 2010 Local Parks and Outdoor Recreation grant request for the City Park Shelter Enhancement Project in the amount of $200,000 will be matched with $200,000 from the Pueblo County 1 -A Funds and $5,000 from Xcel Energy. FINANCIAL IMPACT The park amenities for the Pueblo City Park are estimated to cost $405,000. The following is a breakdown of the proposed funding for the project: GOCO LPOR Funds $ 200,000 Xcel Energy Funds $ 5,000 Pueblo County 1 -A Funds (FY 2011) $ 200,000 TOTAL $ 405,000 If this grant is awarded, the City will appropriate and budget funding for the project at the same time the GOCO grant agreement is approved.

The Spring 2010 Local Parks and Outdoor Recreation grant request for the City Park Shelter Enhancement Project in the amount of $200,000 will be matched with $200,000 from the 1 -A Funds. The matching funds, known as 1 -A funds received voter approval in 2007. This was one of the projects that was identified to be completed. The City Park is the heaviest used park in the City of Pueblo, with the Kiddie Rides alone bringing in almost 250,000 people (which are only open from mid -April to early September, for 3 hours per day). The installation of the shade shelters will enable the Parks and Recreation Department to open the facility earlier in the day, without worry of the hot sun; therefore, expanding the most popular and inexpensive summer activities in the City. 8.
