SUMMARY:
Attached is a Resolution for City Council consideration authorizing the City of Pueblo to
purchase Lots 9 + 10, Block 6 Sunnyside, a private in-holding within the Lake Minnequa
Park and Open Space Area for stormwater, parks and recreation, and open space
purposes.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None.
BACKGROUND:
Robert Torres was issued a treasurer’s deed for Lots 9 + 10, Block 6 Sunnyside that is
an in-holding parcel within the Lake Minnequa Park and Open Space Area. The City
was unable to contact the previous owner to purchase the property prior to Pueblo
County placing a tax lien on the property (see attached map). The property is located
south of Reno Avenue and west of Palmer Avenue adjacent to the sports fields located
on the south end of the Lake. The property will be used for stormwater, park, and open
space uses.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City will be responsible for the maintenance of the property, although there is
currently no development or structures on the property. No hazardous materials or
dumping have occurred on the property. Funds in the amount of $5,000 for the property
included in the aforesaid Purchase Agreement are available from Project Account No.
CP1020 to purchase the property.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not Applicable.
ALTERNATIVES:
If City Council does not approve the purchase, the property will remain in private
ownership and existing stormwater and park improvements are likely to impact the
ability for this property to be developed in the future.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
