INTRODUCED: July 22, 2013 BY: Ami Nawrocki Background Paper for Proposed RESOLUTION DATE: AGENDA ITEM # M-4 July 22, 2013 DEPARTMENT: City Council TITLE: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF MATCHING FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $6,000 FROM THE COUNCIL CONTINGENCIES ACCOUNT IN THE 2013 GENERAL FUND BUDGET FOR THE NATURAL RESOURCES AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION COUNCIL PLUG IN TO NATURE PROJECT ISSUE: Should the City Council approve a Resolution authorizing the transfer of matching funds in the amount of $6,000 from the Council Contingencies Account in the 2013 General Fund Budget to the Natural Resources and Environmental Education Council Plug in to Nature Project? RECOMMENDATION: This Resolution is at the request of City Council. BACKGROUND: The Pueblo Natural Resource Environmental Education Council - “Plug in to Nature” will complete an analysis of the 18 square mile low-moderate income census blocks within the City of Pueblo to determine the current levels of connectedness that youth and families have to the outdoors and nature. The goal of the Project is to reveal gaps and barriers that may prevent such connections and identify opportunities on which to build in order to link more people within the Project area to nature. This study will include surveys, community meetings, and focus group interviews as part of the study assessment and analysis. A consultant team will complete an inventory and assess current access to outdoor programs and facilities, analyze gaps in both access to the outdoors and outdoor programming, and formulate strategies to overcome cultural barriers resulting in better connections between youth, families, and nature. An advisory committee has been organized utilizing Project participants previously involved in the Pueblo Natural Resource Environmental Education Plan that was completed in 1997. The Project partners include the Pueblo City-County Health Department, Pueblo Zoological Society, Bessemer Neighborhood and Eastside Neighborhood Associations, Pueblo Active Communities and Environments, Pueblo County, Mountain Park Environmental Center, City Parks and Recreation Department, Nature and Raptor Center of Pueblo, and Colorado Parks and Wildlife. A professional facilitator will be utilized to engage youth to find solutions to connect with the outdoors. The result of the study will be to develop strategies based on the residents’ satisfaction, accessibility, and suggested improvements needed to improve connections with the outdoors and nature. The plan will establish measurement tools to evaluate the performance of Project implementation over time. FINANCIAL IMPACT: Funds in an amount of $6,000 would be transferred from the Council Contingencies Account in the 2013 General Fund Budget to the Pueblo Natural Resources and Environmental Education Council Plug in to Nature Project.
