SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance approving and accepting a Colorado Department of Local Affairs
(DOLA) grant for the RTA Aquatic Center Feasibility Study, authorizing the Mayor to execute the
grant agreement, transferring $12,500 from both the Council Contingencies Account and the
Mayoral Contingencies Account in the 2021 General Fund Budget to Project No. CI2109, and
budgeting and appropriating $50,000 in total funds.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
During the City Council Retreat on February 27, 2021, this project was identified as a priority of
City Council.
BACKGROUND:
In 2019, a task force was created consisting of representatives from the City of Pueblo Parks and
Recreation Department, City Council, Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority (PURA), Historic
Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo (HARP), Greater Pueblo Chamber of Commerce, and Pueblo
School District #60 began the initial planning process for Pueblo’s Regional Tourism Act (RTA)
Phase III for a proposed state-of-the-art regional aquatic/recreation center. The Parks and
Recreation Department began conducting an in-house Aquatics/Recreation Center Needs
Assessment that was intended to highlight aquatics and recreation needs of our community and
to identify more specifically what the community would like to see in an indoor aquatic/recreation
complex.
In 2020, the City of Pueblo advertised for proposals for preliminary (schematic) design services
related to the construction of a new municipal indoor aquatic/recreation center to be centrally
located near the Pueblo Convention Center and the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk in downtown
Pueblo. Eleven proposals were received for this project, with Denver based Perkins & Will, Inc.
presenting the lowest and best bid. This project contract has been submitted for City Council
approval through a Resolution to follow.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The DOLA grant will provide $25,000, and funds totaling $25,000 will be transferred from the
Council Contingencies Account and the Mayoral Contingencies Account in the 2021 General
Fund Budget to Project No. CI2109 to match the grant, for a total of $50,000 for the project.
Acceptance of the grant would bind the City to the conditions of the DOLA Grant Agreement for
this project.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
The Pueblo Parks and Recreation Department conducted a preliminary needs assessment by
interviewing its many community partners/stakeholders, which was intended to highlight aquatics
and recreation needs in our community and to identify what the community would like to see in a
community aquatics/recreation complex. The interviews included but were not limited to local high
school and club team swimming coaches, Colorado State University – Pueblo athletic and
recreation administrators/coaches, Chamber of Commerce representatives, school district
athletic/activity directors, health professionals, senior citizen programming professionals, and
several city and county youth sports/recreation organization representatives.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Ordinance is not approved, the City will not receive the DOLA funds and the design services
for the feasibility study for the RTA Aquatic Center will not take place.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.

confer with your legal and budget advisors to determine if such an election is
necessary.
Please contact your Regional Manager, Tara Marshall, at (719) 250-6944 for
information on how to proceed. Expenditure of State funds prior to the contract being
fully executed cannot be included in the contract budget or reimbursed by the State.
