Kogovsek, City Attorney SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN A SUBRECIPIENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND THE PUEBLO COOPERATIVE CARE CENTER, A COLORADO NONPROFIT CORPORATION RELATING TO ITS MOBILE SHOWER PROGRAM AS AUTHORIZED BY SECTION 603 (C)(1)(A) OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT AND U.S. TREASURY FINAL RULE 31 CFR 35.6 AND AUTHORIZING THE PAYMENT OF FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($40,000) FROM PROJECT NO. CI2113 - AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT, FOR PURPOSES THEREOF SUMMARY: This Ordinance approves a Subrecipient Agreement between the City and the Pueblo Cooperative Care Center (“Center”) to support the Center’s Mobile Shower Program (“MSP”). Funds authorized by this Ordinance can be used to operate the Center’s MSP and can also be applied to pay the acquisition costs of an additional vehicle and an ADA compliant, 3-Stall Shower Trailer. The equipment shall be used to provide shower facilities for homeless individuals at various locations throughout the community. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: On December 9, 2019, by Ordinance No. 9613, City Council approved an Agreement for Community Development Services in the amount of $35,000 between the City and the Center for the Center to acquire a ¾ ton vehicle and an ADA compliant, 3-Stall Shower Trailer. On September 13, 2021, by emergency Ordinance No. 10008, City Council approved a Subrecipient Agreement with the Center which awarded ARPA funds to the Center as follows: Program Amount Power-Up Kidz Sacks program $ 36,690 Nutrition on wheels program 169,844 Computer, mobile telephone and security equipment to serve 23,725 persons experiencing food insecurity TOTAL $ 230,259 BACKGROUND: There are limited facilities within the City of Pueblo where homeless individuals can shower and accomplish basic hygiene tasks, and the lack thereof can lead to increased instances of illness. The MSP allows homeless individuals increased access to hygiene. Having a mobile facility will allow for increased outreach, improved health outcomes, and deter congregation at a single fixed facility. There exists a need to provide basic hygiene services to individuals experiencing homelessness in the community. The Pueblo Cooperative Care Center, a Colorado non-profit corporation, wishes to provide basic services to homeless individuals within our community, and has developed a program to provide mobile shower facilities to the homeless within the City. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The Center will receive $40,000 in ARPA funds from Project No.CI2113. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable to this Ordinance. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable to this Ordinance. ALTERNATIVES: City Council could decide not to support this ARPA Project. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance ATTACHMENTS: 1.
