ISSUE
Should the City Council approve the submittal of an application to the Colorado
Department of Transportation for a Hazard Elimination Grant?
RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department is requesting permission to submit a Hazard Elimination
Grant to the Colorado Department of Transportation in the amount of $400,000 for the
installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Troy Avenue and Oakshire Lane.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The Hazard Elimination Grant requires a 20% local match in the amount of $80,000.

local match. If CDBG funds are not available, the Department will transfer funds from
project number CPAN21. There is no additional financial impact to the City as a result
of this grant application.
