SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AMENDMENT TO THE
COOPERATIVE MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF PUEBLO, A COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION, AND
PUEBLO SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 60, RELATING TO THE
MAINTENANCE OF CERTAIN PARK PROPERTIES, AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE THE SAME
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance would approve an Amendment to the Cooperative Maintenance
Agreement with Pueblo School District No. 60 to allow City to continue to maintain
certain District 60 properties as City neighborhood parks.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On March 25, 2019, City Council approved Ordinance 9438 which approved a
Cooperation Maintenance Agreement between the City of Pueblo and Pueblo School
District No. 60, relating to park maintenance of District 60 land for neighborhood park
purposes by the City.
BACKGROUND:
Through a Cooperative Maintenance Agreement with Pueblo School District No. 60
from 2008 through 2018, the City maintained approximately 53.2 acres of District
property as City Parks in exchange for 2.6 acres of District owned land where the City
built Fire Station No. 9. On January 1, 2019, the entire 53.2 acres reverted back to the
District for responsibility of maintenance of that property.
Certain City parks are located on land owned by Pueblo School District No. 60. The
three District park sites described in the Amendment total 21.9 acres, and is essential
the City continue to maintain these properties due to their immediate proximity to
existing City owned parks. In return, Pueblo School District No. 60 will continue to
maintain 5.9 acres of City land, which consists of Little Heaton Park, which is located
adjacent to Heaton Middle School.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The costs associated with the maintenance of the 21.9 acres of Pueblo School District
No. 60 property will be accounted for through the Parks Department's annual
maintenance and operating budget for the next ten (10) years. The 5.9 acre park known
as Little Heaton Park will be maintained at the expense of Pueblo School District No. 60
during the same time frame.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Pueblo School District No. 60 supports this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Ordinance is not approved, the maintenance of these neighborhood parks will be
responsibility of Pueblo School District No. 60.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.

No 60 through 12.31.2033
