Mr. and Mrs. Jones currently own two parcels of land that are land locked by the Pueblo Police Department’s firearms training facilities.

Mr. and Mrs. Jones have agreed to sell both these parcels to the City of Pueblo for a total of $20,000. The purchase of this land will enable the Pueblo Police Department Firearms Training facility to expand the area in which they train, provide additional parking spaces for officers using the facility, and allow for additional access controls on the property. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The cost of these two parcels will be $20,000. This amount has been budgeted within the Police Department’s 2023 budget. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable to this Ordinance. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable to this Ordinance. ALTERNATIVES: City Council could choose to reject this Ordinance.
