SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND ACCEPTING ADDITIONAL FUNDS FROM
THE COLORADO STATE FOREST SERVICE IN THE AMOUNT OF $7,272.52
PURSUANT TO THE TEAMING UP FOR TREES GRANT, AND BUDGETING
AND APPROPRIATING SAID FUNDS TO PROJECT NO. PL1903
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance budgets and appropriates additional funds received from the Colorado State
Forest Service pursuant to the “Teaming Up for Trees” grant into Project No. PL1903, which is
used for reimbursement costs associated with the removal and replacement of trees within the
City of Pueblo parks system.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On May 13, 2019, City Council approved Ordinance 9455, which approved and accepted the
Colorado State Forest Service’s “Teaming Up for Trees” project grant in the amount of
$27,900.00., established Project No. PL1903, and budgeted and appropriated the funds into said
project.
On April 12, 2021, City Council approved Ordinance 9905, which approved and accepted
additional funds from the Colorado State Forest Service in the amount of $5,371.07 pursuant to
the “Teaming Up for Trees” project grant, and budgeted and appropriated the funds into Project
No. PL1903.
BACKGROUND:
In 2017, the Colorado State Forest Service (CSFS) secured approximately $200,000.00 for
replacing dead and dying trees with new transplanted stock in Southeastern Colorado.
Specifically, this funding was secured by CSFS to help replace trees that were severely damaged
as a result of the spring snowstorm in April 2017.
The grant specified that the funding would not be solely for tree removal, but also for planting new
trees. The grant funds were divided between three Southern Colorado State Forest Service
districts and each district funded projects within their respective TREE CITY USA communities.
Pueblo City Parks staff took advantage of this grant fund opportunity and have to date removed
and replaced numerous trees within the City’s 650 plus acres of maintained parks and
streetscapes. This past spring, the City of Pueblo was recognized as a TREE CITY USA
community for forty-one (41) consecutive years for its commitment and appreciation of trees in
the community.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The additional grant award funds will be utilized to replace trees within the City of Pueblo’s park
system.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Ordinance is not approved, the City will be required to return the additional funds to the
Colorado State Forest Service, and the number of additional trees to be planted throughout the
City of Pueblo’s park system will be reduced accordingly.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
