BACKGROUND
The $200,000 grant request will assist in the construction of a new 3,000 square foot
multipurpose community meeting room including audio/visual and communication
technology. This area of City Hall was formerly the City Clerkâs office. The historic front
doors and terrazzo flooring in the space will be rehabilitated as part of the Project. The
City government, community groups, along with patrons to the Memorial Hall will be
able to use this room for meeting and community event space. The remaining Project
will provide tenant finish of 6,000 square feet for City offices on the lower level at an
estimated cost of $200,000. The Phase 1 Project completed the electrical, HVAC,
plumbing, and I.T. infrastructure for the entire 24,000 square foot building. In addition,
Phase 1 includes the new third floor administrative offices, City Council Chambers,
A.D.A. restrooms on each floor, and an elevator is scheduled to be completed by April
of 2013. This DOLA application is in the Tier I grant category and will be reviewed by
DOLA staff instead of their State Advisory Committee. City staff has met with the DOLA
local staff and together have toured the building.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost for the Pueblo City Hall Community Room and Renovation Phase 2 Project is
estimated to be $400,000. The DOLA Energy Mineral Impact Assistance Fund
application is requesting $200,000. The City is proposing $200,000 as a 50% cash
match of the $400,000. The costs of the Project are listed below according to funding
