Beginning in 2009, the Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority (the “Authority”) partnered with
the City of Pueblo, the Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, the Pueblo Economic
Development Corporation, the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Authority, HARP
Foundation, and other community partners to develop plans and funding strategies for
the Pueblo Professional Bull Riders University and Heritage of Heroes Project (the
“Pueblo RTA Project”). On June 13, 2011, City Council approved Resolution No. 12174
authorizing the submittal of a proposal to the Colorado Office of Economic Development
and International Trade (OEDIT) for the dedication of specified state sales tax increment
revenue authorized through State of Colorado Regional Tourism Act (RTA) for the
Pueblo RTA Project (Project).
In September 2012, the Colorado Economic Development Commission (“CEDC”) voted
to accept the proposal from the City of Pueblo and authorize 24.7% of the state sales
tax increment to the Pueblo RTA Project upon approval of a Resolution addressing the
terms and conditions of approval imposed by the CEDC. On December 10, 2012, City
Council approved Resolution No.12554 acknowledging receipt of the Colorado
Economic Development Commission’s Resolution No. 1 effective May 18, 2012
concerning the dedication of specified state sales tax increment revenue and
addressing the terms and conditions for the “Pueblo Professional Bull Riders University
and Heritage of Heroes Project.”
The Cooperation Agreement between the City, PURA, and HARP is for the purpose of
planning, financing, designing, engineering, overseeing, managing, maintaining, and
operatingthe improvements authorized within The Colorado Economic Development
Commission’s Resolution No. 1 for the “Pueblo Professional Bull Riders University and
Heritage of Heroes Project.” The attached Cooperation Agreement outlines the Project,
the roles and responsibilities of the parties.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
PURA will be the financing entity including being the recipient of state sales tax TIF, as
well as, be responsible for the overall administration of the Project. PURA will be
responsible for the design, construction, and maintenance of the eligible Project
improvements. PURA intends to maintain ownership of Gateway Plaza, Heritage Plaza,

these facilities. Pursuant to any applicable written agreements with the City or any other
entity, eligible Project improvements may be conveyed by PURA. The maintenance of
those facilities will become the responsibility of the entity receiving ownership of the said
facility.
During the planning, design, and construction phases of the RTA Project senior level
staff members from multiple City departments including Planning and Community
Development, Public Works, Transportation, Parks and Recreation, the Law
Department, and the City Manager will be needed to assist in the coordination of the
RTA Projects that will be completed on City-owned property and public rights-of-way. In

Medal of Honor/Walk of Valor;
3. Construction of the Gateway Center/Boathouse Facility integrated with the Historic
Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo;
4. Construction of a Regional Aquatic Center and Water Park; and
5. Construction of temporary surface parking, a new Parking Garage and Other Specific
Costs.
Eligible Improvements are further described below:
1. Tourism and Entertainment Facility- Pueblo Professional Bull Riders University
Arena Facility -Phase 1
As the home to the Professional Bull Riders ( "PBR ") international headquarters, the Pueblo PBR
University Arena is planned to be integrated with the Pueblo Convention Center/Exhibit Hall.
The Arena will provide a facility that will be used as a training facility that will provide a single
location where internationally -based PBR riders, judges, and other event officials can assemble
for training related to regulations and procedures of professional bull riding. In addition, the
facility will be used for multiple club sports events and other events. The Arena facility is
planned as an 18,000 sq. ft. building attached to the southeast side of the expanded Convention
Center Exhibit Hall. A portion of the facility will be dedicated to a PBR Fan Zone area
displaying the sport's achievements.
2. Tourism and Entertainment Facility - Exnansion of the Pueblo Convention
Center/Exhibit Hall -Phase 1
As a component of the Arena facility for PBR training related activities, the Convention Center
will be expanded by approximately 45,000 square feet to provide a more diverse facility with
larger exhibit and other spaces to service the InterMountain West States Convention Business.
This expansion takes the Convention Center from a basic civic meeting facility to a full- service
Convention Center with enhanced linkages to the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Project (HARP).
The expanded Pueblo Convention Center/Exhibit Hall will be located south of the existing
Convention Center that will connect to the new hotel'. The Medal of Honor enhancement to the
Center will serve as a north anchor of the Walk of Valor.
3. Tourism and Entertainment Facility Gateway Center/Boathouse Facility - Phase 2
Another component of the Arena facility and Convention Center Expansion is the construction of
a new two -story Boat House for expanded boating activities totaling 5,000 square foot per floor,
the addition of a 15,000 — 20,000 sq. ft. Gateway Center Facility with an outdoor entry plaza of
Page 1 of 2
EXHIBIT B
approximately 5,000 sq. ft., known as the Heritage Event Plaza, which will provide access to the
Arena, the expanded Convention Center and the Gateway Center. The HARP channel' will be
expanded to accommodate public access to the boats and allow for boat storage.
4. Tourism and Entertainment Facility - Regional Aquatic Center and Water Park -
Phase 3
An Aquatic facility will be constructed west of Santa Fe Avenue bordering the Arena facility, the
HARP channel extension' and the Gateway Center/Boat House. The facility is envisioned to
include a 50 -meter competitive pool with a water park to attract amateur athletic events. Since
the construction of the Aquatic facilities are not slated for at least 10 years, a new assessment of
the exact type of aquatic improvements that will attract out -of -state visitors will need to be
completed prior to finalizing this component of the Project.
5. Surface Parking- Phases 1 & 2
During Phases 1 & 2, surface parking will be provided to service the Arena facility, the expanded
Pueblo Convention Center, and the new hotel site'. The location of the temporary surface
parking areas will be adjusted, based on the timing of the development of the six private
development pad sites'.
6. Parking Garage -Phase 3
With limited downtown parking, the new Eligible Improvements and Ineligible Improvements'
will require the construction of a new multi -level parking garage as part of the Phase 3
development program. The parking structure is anticipated to be located west of Central Main
Street with a skywalk linking to the expanded Pueblo Convention Center and the new hotel'.
7. Other Ancillary Costs - Phases 1, 2 & 3
Throughout the Project phases, various types of infrastructure will be necessary, which may
include storm sewer and sanitary sewer collection, conveyance, distribution, treatment, and
related facilities and real property interests necessary or convenient thereto; potable and
nonpotable water supplies and collection, conveyance, distribution, treatment, and related
facilities and real property interests related thereto; roads; streets; rights -of -way; lighting; traffic
signals and signs; direction and location signage and similar signage; land acquisition; surveying,
engineering, soils testing, site planning, grading, and similar activities necessary or convenient
for site preparation and development; and landscaping.

channel extension, and private development. These improvements and the additional Ineligible
Improvements described on Exhibit C are provided for informational purposes only as they are important to
the Applicant's Overall Concept Plan. Accordingly, Exhibits D -J also provide information on Eligible
Improvements and Ineligible Improvements.

EXHIBIT C
Ineligible Improvements
The improvements described in this Exhibit are not defined as Eligible Improvements for
the purposes of the Act and this Resolution. This information is only being provided for
informational purposes as these improvements are important to the Applicant's Overall
Concept Plan. Accordingly, Exhibits D -J also provide information on Eligible
Improvements and Ineligible Improvements.
The improvements, to be funded with other public and/or private funding sources (Ineligible
Improvements), include the architecture, engineering, construction, development,
redevelopment, expansion and implementation of the following projects within the designated
Regional Tourism area:
1. A 100 -room hotel linked with the Pueblo Convention Center/Exhibition Hall;
2. Expansion of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Channel;
3. Expansion of the Home of Heroes Memorial and Heritage of Heroes Theme;
4. Construction of the Veteran's Bridge across the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk
Channel;
5. Renovation of Memorial Hall; and
6. Private Retail and Business Development.
Ineligible Improvements are further described below:
1. New 100 -Room Hotel

also interface with the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk, the Heritage Event Plaza' and the Gateway
Center'. The hotel will provide a second hotel adjacent to the Convention Center' and will be
able to accommodate the forecasted increase in visitors.
2. Expansion of the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Channel
The Historic Arkansas Riverwalk Project (HARP) is a city program that began more than two
decades ago. HARP sought to bring back the Arkansas River to its original alignment prior to a
devastating flood in 1921. The HARP Channel will be expanded from the existing northern
terminus along Richmond Avenue east to Interstate 25. This privately funded project will create
an enhanced visitor experience and open up additional private lands for large format destination
retail development. The expanded channel will be integrated with the Gateway Center', the
outdoor Heritage Event Plaza' and the Boathouse Facility'.

3. Expansion of the Home of Heroes Memorial and Heritage of Heroes Theme
A major component of the state's Third Party Analyst percentage that was "attributed to out -of-
state visitors" is due to the large number of proposed military venues in Pueblo's city center.
Pueblo was acknowledged by the 103` Congress of the United States as the "The Home of
Heroes." This Heritage of Heroes project commemorates Pueblo's hero soldiers and settlers and
will be improved through the development of an enhanced Walk of Valor' that incorporates the
existing Medal of Honor Memorial, Veteran's Bridge, Memorial Hall, and the Center of
American Values. The privately developed Heritage of Heroes project focuses on attracting out -
of-state military reunions and major expositions in Pueblo's downtown.
4. Construction of Veteran's Bridge
Veteran's Bridge was completed and dedicated in November, 2010. The bridge honors all
veterans and their contribution to the defense of the United States. All branches of the Armed
Forces are represented with more than 7,100 engraved names of veterans displayed as part of the
bridge project. The project was funded through a partnership between the Pueblo Veterans'
Council, the HARP Foundation and the Pueblo Medal of Honor Foundation. The Veteran's
Bridge is a key stop along the enhanced Walk of Valor'.
5. Renovation of Memorial Hall
Built in 1919 as a memorial to the fallen soldiers of World War I, Pueblo's Memorial Hall is
undergoing a renovation that will keep this grand landmark a major destination for visitors to
Pueblo and Southern Colorado. As a component of the Heritage of Heroes and enhanced Walk
of Valor', the Hall is undergoing a $12 million renovation including interior enhancements,
audio and visual upgrades, an enlarged stage, improved seating and air- conditioning. With these
upgrades, Memorial Hall will be able to provide theatrical entertainment for more than 29,400
visitors to the military venues every year, as well as the 200,000+ visitors to the Historic
Arkansas Riverwalk.
6. Private Retail and Business Development
Over the three phases of the project, six private commercial sites will be developed subject to,
and contingent upon, execution of agreements acceptable to the City and Pueblo Urban Renewal
Authority with third -party private developers within the Regional Tourism Zone. The
development sites include the new hotel (described in item #1), two development sites adjacent
to the existing Gateway Plaza of HARP (sites #2 and #4), two development sites (sites #5 and
#6) between the main HARP channel and Grand Avenue, and a development site west of Central
Main and north of Memorial Hall (site #3). Some of the sites will initially be utilized as
temporary surface parking' to serve the expanded Convention Center', new hotel and Arena
Facility'. The anticipated private development investment is estimated to be $64 million over
the 30+ year project.
'These are Eligible Improvements for the purposes of the Act and this Resolution: Gateway Center, outdoor
Heritage Event Plaza, Boathouse facility, Enhanced Walk of Valor, temporary surface parking, expanded
Convention Center, and Arena facility and as such are more specifically described on Exhibit B.
Accordingly, Exhibits D$ also provide information on Eligible Improvements and Ineligible Improvements.
