WATER QUALITY PROJECT
ISSUE
Should City Council transfer funds from the Peaks to Prairie grant matching funds to
Capital Project SW1003 – Fountain Creek Water Quality Project for the construction of
two water quality demonstration projects on Fountain Creek within the City of Pueblo?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Peaks to Prairie funds were appropriated as a cash match for a Great Outdoors
Colorado (GOCO) grant to assist Colorado Open Lands in the acquisition of
conservation easements along Fountain Creek. The grant contract with GOCO has
been closed by Colorado Open Lands with the remaining matching funds not able to be
utilized. The remaining $49,514 in CP0802 is proposed to be transferred to Capital
Project SW1003 for additional funding to complete the Fountain Creek Water Quality
projects. The funds will assist in the construction of an off-channel detention/wetland
area east of the Northside Walmart and the installation of a 30-foot long bedload
sediment collector 2,200 feet north of the confluence of Fountain Creek and the
Arkansas River.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds in the amount of $49,514will be transferred from CP0802 – Peaks to Prairie
Match to SW1003 – Fountain Creek Water Quality Project. The additional funds will
increase the budget in the SW1003 – Fountain Creek Water Quality Project to
$599,514.
