SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING ADDITIONAL FUNDS
NOT TO EXCEED $56,424.00 TO PROJECT NUMBER PS1802
SUMMARY:
City Council approved a Grant Agreement with the State of Colorado Department of Law Peace
Officer Standards and Training (POST) on June 25, 2018, which awarded an initial $274,650.00
in funds. Attached is a State of Colorado Grant Funding Change Letter which awards an
additional $56,424.00 in funds. This Ordinance budgets and appropriates those funds to project
number PS1802.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On June 25, 2018 City Council passed and approved Ordinance No. 9307, which approved and
accepted the grant agreement, created Project Number PS1802, and budgeted and appropriated
funds in the amount of $274,650.00.
BACKGROUND:
The State of Colorado Department of Law POST Grant Agreement provides funds to the thirty-
nine (39) law enforcement agencies of the Central Mountain Training Region (“CMTR”) for the
purpose of improving law enforcement technology and training and upgrading necessary
equipment. The Pueblo Police Department acts as the fiscal agent for this grant. Decisions
related to training, equipment, and technology will be made with the assistance of an advisory
board. When excess funds are available to the State, the Colorado Department of Law will award
additional funds to CMTR before the end the fiscal year to purchase additional equipment.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
As detailed in Ordinance No. 9307, this grant will require monitoring, auditing, and submission of
financial documents which will impact the City with staffing costs. The grant does provide monies
to offset those expenditures. The Police Department realizes infrastructure benefits as well.
Improvements to the Department’s shooting range facility and classroom spaces are allowable
under this grant. One (1) sworn full-time Police Department employee has been selected to
administer this program along with employees from the Finance Department. The City of Pueblo
is responsible for administering the drawdown of the grant. The City will submit quarterly reports
to Colorado POST documenting expenditures.
Matching funds from the City are not required for this grant or any additional appropriations made
thereunder. Funds from this additional award will be used to purchase a portable wall training
system.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not Applicable.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Central Mountain Training Region law enforcement leaders and the Pueblo Police Department
support the award and appropriation of the additional funds for the purchase of the portable wall
training system.
ALTERNATIVES:
Decline the offer of an additional $56,424.00 from Colorado POST. If this occurs, the City will not
be able to purchase additional equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
