INTRODUCED: June 22, 2015 BY: Chris Nicoll City Clerk’s Office Item # M-1 BACKGROUND PAPER FOR PROPOSED RESOLUTION COUNCIL MEETING DATE: June 22, 2015 TO: President Steven G. Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk 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.
