The City is contributing $1,000 to the local match. The City will be hosting the conference on thrd September 20 through the 23 at the Pueblo Convention Center. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City of Pueblo contributed $2,000 to the Conference Bid in March of 2016. BACKGROUND: The City of Pueblo submitted a request for financial assistance to the Department of Local Affairs on July 11, 2016 to help with the costs of the upcoming Vibrant Colorado Downtowns Conference. The City is seeking assistance in planning to better understand the implications of land use decisions on the economy and community well-being. The assistance will provide an opportunity to include the urgent issue of planning and economics of the high demand for marijuana grow operations and the need to assess impacts sooner than later. We have a unique opportunity to access studies and workshops that will inform our decisions at a planning level, as well as working with our community to bring together both economic and community place making processes for more meaningful planning process to further our vision and economic vitality. Economic Land-Use Study and Site Visit: Joe Minicozzi of Urban3, will be engaged to conduct an Economic Land-Use Study value per acre study. This study will include an economic 3D model that measures the economic effect of land uses within Pueblo. Following the study we will have a presentation of findings for our local governments as well as our area Realtors and community members regarding the importance of good land-use choices for long-term economic benefits. Following the presentation, participants will visit a redevelopment opportunity site with the consultants to review an overview of potential financing and partners. Happy City Workshop and Site Analysis: The following day, Pueblo partners and participants will engage in a workshop on community wellbeing and how to incorporate well-being principles into place making and community design. We will explore the evidence linking wellbeing to urban design; we will produce Pueblo-focused principles for measuring success of place making and land-use. These principles will be used to drive further exploration by participants through immersion with site analysis field work to learn and practice how to apply their knowledge through re- visiting the Pueblo redevelopment site reviewed through economic lenses the previous day. On behalf of the Conference partners the City is requesting a small planning grant from DOLA in the amount or $25,000 to assist in funding the study and planning workshops that cost $50,000. In partnership with the National Association of Relator, Pueblo Relator Association, Pueblo County, Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority (PURA) and Downtown Colorado Inc., we have raised approximately $25,000 which will be used as the required cash match. The $1,000 from Council Contingencies will contribute to the local match. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The City of Pueblo will be responsible for providing the $25,000 local match which will be accepted from the National Association of Relator, Pueblo Relator Association, Pueblo County, Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority (PURA) and others. Funds shall be available from Project PL1600.
