BETWEEN PUEBLO, A COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND
PUEBLO COUNTY RELATING TO THE USE OF 2016 BALLOT QUESTION 1A
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FUNDS, BUDGETING AND
APPROPRIATING FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $250,000 TO THE SRDA –

SUMMARY:
This Ordinance approves an Intergovernmental Agreement (“IGA”) between Pueblo, a Colorado
Municipal Corporation (“City”) and Pueblo County (“County”) relating to the use of 2016 Ballot
Question 1A Capital Improvement Program funds and budgets and appropriates portions of such
funds in the amount of $250,000 to the SRDA – HVAC Addition Project, PL1905.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
The 2019 City of Pueblo budget established and appropriated $575,000 for the SRDA Air
Conditioning System Capital Improvements Project, CI1909.
Ordinance 9550 established the SRDA – HVAC Addition Project, PL1905, accepted funds from
SRDA in the amount of $50,000, budgeted and appropriated said funds for the Project and
transferred funds in the amount of $575,000 from Capital Project No. CI1909 to PL1905.
BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance approves an IGA between the City and the County relating to the use of 2016
Ballot Question 1A Capital Improvement Program Project funds in the amount of $250,000 from
Pueblo County for the SRDA – HVAC Addition Project.
The Senior Resource Development Agency (“SRDA”) has been located in the City-owned building
at 230 North Union Avenue since 1994. The City is securing funding to pay for the replacement
of the HVAC system. Maintenance costs for the system and the frequency of each repair
continues to increase each year, causing ongoing budget expenses.
In 2018, the City of Pueblo Public Works Department hired Weidner & Associates Architecture to
create schematic drawings and a preliminary cost estimate. Given the size of the new air
conditioning and heating units, it was determined that it was not possible to place them within the
existing building and an addition to the building would be required.
The SRDA Board of Directors has contributed $50,000 to the Project for design services. The
SRDA will also be fundraising for the Project and has requested a grant on behalf of the City from
the Department of Local Affairs for an additional $900,000 to complete the funding needed for the
Project totaling 1.8 million dollars.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
County funds in the amount of $250,000 from the IGA shall be budgeted and appropriated into
Project, PL1905.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
Currently, there are no alternatives for completing the improvements without the funding from the
2016 Ballot Question 1A Capital Improvement Program Project funds.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance.
Attachments: City-County IGA for the SRDA – HVAC Addition
