PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: This Emergency Ordinance establishes a project account to facilitate repairs to the Fountain Creek Trail located on the east side of the creek just north of Colorado State Highway 47. The trail sustained significant damage during recent rain events which caused sinkholes and washouts to leave the trail damaged and in an unsafe condition. The trail has been closed until repairs can be completed, but delays in approving the project will result in additional repairs being required as further erosion and subsidence occurs. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funds in the amount of $250,000.00 shall be transferred from the unappropriated fund balance of the General Fund and budgeted and appropriated into the newly-created project account, CI2322 - Fountain Creek Trail Repairs. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable to this Ordinance. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable to this Ordinance. ALTERNATIVES: Failure to approve this Emergency Ordinance will preclude the Public Works Department from being able to complete the required trail repairs.
