SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION TRANSFERRING FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF
$6,022.37 FROM PROJECT NO. PS2204 TO PROJECT NO. PS2214
FOR PURPOSES OF THE TRIPLE AIM COMMUNITY REINVESTMENT
GRANT
SUMMARY:
This resolution allocates unused funds from the 2022 project year to the 2023 project.
The funds shall be used for staffing costs related to the Pueblo Triple Aim Corporation
DOTS Program.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On November 28, 2022, Ordinance No. 10337 was approved by City Council. This
Ordinance approved the current Cooperation Agreement by and between Pueblo Triple
Aim, a Colorado nonprofit corporation, and the City of Pueblo. It also established
Project No. PS2214 and accepted funds in the amount of $71,184.48, and budgeted
and appropriated them to the project to be used solely for the purposes agreed to
pursuant to the terms of the Agreement for a continued part-time telehealth position.
On March 14, 2022, Ordinance No. 10130 was approved by City Council approving the
cooperation agreement with Pueblo Triple Aim Corporation and Health Colorado Inc.
accepting, budgeting and appropriating funds to establish part-time positions connected
with the DOTS program and training on Telehealth services.
On December 28, 2021, Ordinance No. 10085 was approved by City Council. This
Ordinance provided authorized staffing for Fiscal Year 2022.
BACKGROUND:
The Pueblo Fire Department works closely in partnership with other agencies in the
community to help citizens navigate healthcare resources. Pueblo Triple Aim
Corporation is one such local non-profit community partner with the mission of making
Pueblo County the healthiest county in Colorado through community problem solving
and cross-sector collaboration. The Directing Others to Services (DOTS) program
consists of a trained outreach team that visits individuals who overutilize
911/Emergency Rooms and educates and connects them to resources. This has
routinely decreased their “usage” of unnecessary emergency medical services by 50%.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This resolution will allocate additional funds in the amount of $6,022.37 to Project No.
PS2214. A previous ordinance was passed accepting Funds in the amount of
$71,184.48 for the purposes of funding the salary and benefits of the full-time
coordinator position and part time telehealth position in 2023. The funding was provided
by Pueblo Triple Aim Corporation through September of 2023 with the remaining three
months of the position covered by the General Fund at a cost of $17,796.21. The intent
is to reapply for funding each year for continued financial support.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:

ALTERNATIVES:

PS2214. This may result in revisions to anticipated staffing levels and availability.
