PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council approved Ordinance No. 8779, dated October 14, 2014, which established the project number PL1704, budgeted and appropriated funds in the amount of $42,350 relating to the Goodnight Barn Stabilization Project and approved the Contract with the State Historical Fund. City Council approved Resolution No.13287, dated August 24, 2015, which awarded a construction contract to Arc Valley Construction, Inc. for the Goodnight Barn Stabilization Project. BACKGROUND: On March 28, 2016, City Council through Resolution No. 13405, authorized the submittal of a grant application to the Colorado State Historical Fund in the amount of $200,000 related to the Goodnight Barn Rehabilitation Project. The City was to provide the matching grant in the amount of $415,000 for a total project of $615,000. The City fell short of its grant matching goal of $415,000 by $150,000. The Goodnight Barn Stakeholders and the State Historical Fund (“SHF”) decided to reduce the scope of the project and proceed with the restoration project. The new reduced project scope will consist of construction administration, restoration of the foundation, grading, structural rehabilitation, repair and reconstruction of masonry, removal and replacement of the roof, reconstruct the original pigeon cote and cupolas, secure doors and windows and remove the milk house addition. The remaining restoration items will need to be completed as funds become available. The SHF grant in the amount of $201,900 includes $200,000 for restoration and $1,900 for an update of the conservation easement held by the Pueblo County Historical Society. The SHF grant agreement required the City to provide local matching funds in the amount of $265,000 which combined with the SHF grant provides $466,900 for the project. The breakdown of the matching grant funds is detailed in the financial implications section below. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Project shall consist of the following amounts and funding sources to be budgeted and appropriated for Project No. PL1704: State Historical Fund $201,900 Pueblo County $131,850 Goodnight Barn Preservation Inc. $ 75,650 El Pomar Foundation and Trustees $ 27,500 Gates Family Foundation $ 20,000 Jennie and Albert Gersick Foundation $ 10,000 Total Funds $466,900 BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: The Historic Preservation Commission has recommended the project.
