Gradisar, Mayor VIA: Brenda Armijo, City Clerk FROM: Scott Hobson, Acting Director of Planning and Community Development SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE TRANSFERRING FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $125,000 FROM THE 2019 HIGHWAY USER TAX FUND BALANCE TO THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL NORTHERN AND PRAIRIE PROJECT HU1601 AND BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING $125,000 FOR SAID PROJECT SUMMARY: This Ordinance transfers funds in the amount of $125,000 from 2019 Highway User Tax Fund (HUTF) balance to Project HU1601 and budgets and appropriates $125,000 for the Traffic Signal Northern and Prairie Project. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Funds in the amount of $125,000 were approved by City Council in the 2016 Annual Budget. On April 9, 2018, Ordinance 9253 transferred $125,000 from the Traffic Signal Northern and Prairie Project, No. HU1601 to the Outlook Blvd and Wills Boulevard Street and Storm Sewer Construction Project, No. CI1703. BACKGROUND: This Ordinance will transfer funds in the amount of $125,000 from the 2019 HUTF balance to Traffic Signal Northern and Prairie Project, No. HU1601, and budget and appropriate the funds. The City was awarded $500,000 from the CDOT Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) grant for the Project with a required cash match of $125,000 that was originally budgeted in Project HU1601. In 2018, $125,000 was transferred from Project HU1601 to Project CI1703 for the Outlook Boulevard and Wills Boulevard street and storm sewer construction. The Project will continue the trail or shared use path along the north side of Northern Avenue between Cambridge Avenue and Prairie Avenue and will then continue north on Prairie Avenue to the main entrance of the Colorado State Fair Grounds. Over the last five years the City has redeveloped the trail system from Pueblo Boulevard (State Highway 45) east to Cambridge Avenue along Northern Avenue. This Project will complete the trail system to the Colorado State Fair Grounds providing the area residents and visitors to the State Fair with a direct bike/pedestrian connection. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Once transferred, funding in the amount of $125,000 will be available for local cash match for the CDOT TAP Grant Agreement. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not Applicable. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None ALTERNATIVES: Currently, there are no alternatives for completing the Project without the funding from the 2019 Highway User Tax Fund. RECOMMENDATION: Approve the Ordinance.
