SUMMARY:
This Ordinance accepts a grant award from the Colorado Tree Coalition in the amount of
$2,000, establishes a Project account, and budgets and appropriates the amount of $2,000 for
the grant purposes.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
An application for a grant from the Colorado Tree Coalition was submitted in September 2014.
The CTC notified the Parks and Recreation Department of the grant award on February 9, 2015.
The application submitted was for the "Minnequa Lake Urban Forestry Planting Project" which
consists of the purchase of approximately forty (40) trees for planting within the beautiful park
area located on the south end of Lake Minnequa near the existing athletic fields. Planting will be
completed by Parks staff as the in-kind match for the project.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City has committed a $2,000 cash match to the CTC Grant. Funds are available in Project
No. LT1202 — Ongoing Citywide Tree Planting and Replacement Project. Acceptance of the
grant, as recommended, would also bind the City to the conditions of the CTC Grant
Agreement. Other financial implications would be staff time with oversight of the grant.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
None
