BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED
RESOLUTION
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 22, 2015

FROM: Steven Meier – Director of Parks and Recreation Department
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE TRANSFER OF $11,490 FROM
PROJECT NO. LT1404 – CITY PARK TENNIS COMPLEX LIGHTS, TO
PROJECT NO. LT1207 – I.T. NETWORK INFRASTRUCTURE PARKS
SUMMARY:
This Resolution authorizes the transfer of the remaining Lottery funds from Project No. LT1404
– City Park Tennis Complex Lights to Project No. LT1207 – I.T. Network Infrastructure Parks to
purchase and install much needed security system devices in the City Park and Mineral Palace
Park Maintenance Compounds which will aid in the protection of the City’s investment in
maintenance equipment and property stored in those areas.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
None
BACKGROUND:
On May 2, 2014, Pueblo PD contacted staff to inform them about vandalism and theft of
vehicles from the City Park Maintenance Compound. Numerous vehicles had their gas tanks
punctured, windows broken, golf cart damaged, and two Kubota Utility Vehicles were stolen and
destroyed. Other areas of the compound were also damaged due to the break-in. The City was
reimbursed a total of $78,385.65 for the destroyed equipment, damaged vehicles, and damaged
fencing. The cost of the damages went much further than equipment and property damage.
Time lost with having no equipment to perform the daily maintenance operations of the
department. This cost can never be recovered.
Currently there are no existing security system devices other than alarms protecting access into
the buildings in the maintenance compound. Quotes have been received from current alarm
vendor for purchase and installation of security system devices for these maintenance
compounds.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The transfer of the $11,490 from LT1404 – City Park Tennis Complex Lights to LT1207 – I.T.
Network Infrastructure will cover the cost of installation of much needed security system devices
and will allow closure of the closure of Project No. LT1404.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None
ALTERNATIVES:
Should this Resolution not be approved, the City’s investment in maintenance equipment and
property will continue to be highly vulnerable to trespassing, theft, property damage, and
vandalism which reduces the City’s resources for budgeted Park maintenance due to repairs
and replacement of said equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
PROPOSED MOTION:
This Resolution will be placed on the Consent Agenda.
