SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE ESTABLISHING THE FORMER POLICE ANNEX BUILDING
DEMOLITION PROJECT NO. CI1816 AND BUDGETING, APPROPRIATING
AND TRANSFERRING $190,693 FROM THE FUND BALANCE ACCOUNT OF
THE GENERAL FUND FOR SAID PROJECT
SUMMARY:
This Emergency Ordinance establishes Project No. CI1816 for the demolition of Former Police
Annex Building, located at 150 Central Main Street and budgets and appropriates funds in the
amount of $190,693 for said project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On May 19, 2008, the City entered into an Amended and Restated Intergovernmental Agreement
(“2008 IGA”) with various local governmental entities, including the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk
of Pueblo (“HARP”) Authority concerning the development of the HARP Project in downtown
Pueblo.
BACKGROUND:
In the 2008 IGA, the HARP Authority was given the task of creating a development plan for the
HARP Project and recommending proposals to the Pueblo City Council for the use, development,
construction, removal and renovation of Public Land located within the HARP Project area. The
Former Police Annex Building is owned by the City and is located in the HARP Project Area
adjacent to the Old Police Building which the HARP Authority developed in 2013. It is anticipated
that the HARP Authority will, in the near future, submit to City Council a disposition agreement for
the development of the property on which the Former Police Annex Building is located. The
expected disposition agreement will require the demolition and removal of the improvements
located on the Former Police Annex Building site.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Demolition and removal costs in the amount of $190,693 are hereby budgeted and appropriated
by this ordinance. Said sum consists of estimated demolition costs in the amount of $170,693
plus contingency costs in the amount of $20,000. The anticipated disposition agreement will
require that the HARP Authority fully reimburse the City for such demolition and removal costs
prior to development of the Former Police Annex Building site.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
City staff has collaborated with the staff of the HARP Authority regarding the development of the
Former Police Annex Building site.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Ordinance is not approved, the City will be unable to proceed with the development of the
Former Police Annex Building site.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve this Ordinance.
