Gradisar VIA: Marisa Stoller, City Clerk FROM: Andrew Hayes, Public Works Director George Andrews, Energy Coordinator SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE ACCEPTING A SMALL DOLLAR GRANT FROM THE COLORADO ENERGY OFFICE IN THE AMOUNT OF $45,000.00, ESTABLISHING FINANCE ACCOUNT PROJECT NO. CI2217 - CHARGE AHEAD COLORADO, BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING $45,000.00 INTO SAID PROJECT ACCOUNT, AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE PURCHASE ORDER ON BEHALF OF THE CITY SUMMARY: An Ordinance accepting a small dollar grant from the Colorado Energy Office in the amount of $45,000.00; establishing finance account Project No. CI2217 - Charge Ahead Colorado, and budgeting and appropriating $45,000.00 into said project account, and authorizing the Mayor to execute the purchase order agreement on behalf of the City. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Resolution No.13612 dated February 13, 2017, established that the Pueblo community will be entirely powered by renewable sources of energy by 2035. The all-renewables plan tethers the City Pueblo to planning strategies that promote a more equitable, democratic energy marketplace. Ordinance No. 10563, dated October 10, 2023, established the EV Readiness Plan project. BACKGROUND: Pueblo City Council set a bold goal on February 13, 2017 to make the City of Pueblo fully powered by renewable energy by 2035, as outlined in Resolution No. 13612. Under the guidance of the Mayor's Energy Advisory Commission, progress has been made in shaping building codes, sustainable transportation investments, and clean energy policies. However, EV infrastructure challenges currently exist due to limited availability of charging stations for public use. The City of Pueblo is determined to overcome these hurdles and establish itself as a pioneer in Electric Vehicle (EV) adoption by installing additional charging capacity. This grant will provide funding for five EV chargers. This modest grant injection will facilitate development of the City of Pueblo's EV infrastructure. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Funds in the amount of $45,00.00 are budgeted and appropriated into account Project No.CI2217 - Charge Ahead Colorado. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: None. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: None. ALTERNATIVES: Not approving the Ordinance will preclude the City of Pueblo from accepting the small dollar grant which would provide funding for five electric vehicle chargers. RECOMMENDATION: Approval of the Ordinance. ATTACHMENTS: 1. CEO POGG1 24-2306 City of Pueblo 2. GRANT CERTIFICATION
