PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council approved a similar grant with One Colorado Education Fund in 2022.

One Colorado is a long-standing LGBTQ+ organization in Colorado and has been charged with assisting food initiatives in Pueblo County. Over the course of the last year, PFP and One Colorado have been working together to solve issues in Pueblo’s food system. Over the last few weeks One Colorado approached PFP with a subgrantee offer to continue PFP’s regular work in food systems and to work with One Colorado to increase outreach to the LGBTQ+ community. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: There are no matching funds required for this grant. The City of Pueblo will receive $55,000.00 for the Pueblo Food Project on an invoice and reimbursement basis. The total grant budget for Project No. CI2213 will become $55,000.00. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable to this Ordinance. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable to this Ordinance. ALTERNATIVES: If the proposed Ordinance is not approved, the Pueblo Food Project will not receive the grant funds. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance.
