RECOMMENDATION Approval of the Ordinance. BACKGROUND An application for a grant to fund the “City of Pueblo River Trail Revitalization/Construction Project Phase II” from the State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Wildlife was submitted in November 2012 and a notification of award was received April 2013. The project will include repairing two portions of the Pueblo Trail system along Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River, totaling approximately 2,350 linear feet. The trail will be constructed with an 8’-10’ wide concrete trail (width varies depending on space). The Parks and Recreation Department does not have the resources to repair these two portions of the trail without this grant. The areas have additional deterioration due to the recent rains. If these trail segments are not replaced soon then those areas will need to be closed to public use. FINANCIAL IMPACT Acceptance of the grant would bind the City of Pueblo to the conditions of the State of Colorado, Department of Natural Resources, Division of Parks and Wildlife Grant Agreement.The following is a breakdown of the funding for the Project: State of Colorado Grant $106,500 Funds Transfer from the Parks and Recreation Account No. 101-60-30 $6,200 In-kind City Staff Work $23,250 Donations from Xcel Energy (attached) $1,000 Donation from University Park HOA (attached) $1,000 Donation from Aberdeen Neighborhood (attached) $500 Total Project Cost $138,450
