CI2426, AND BUDGETING AND APPROPRIATING $3,934,163.00 INTO PROJECT NO.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council previously budgeted and appropriated funds for the purchase of the Wells Fargo Building under Ordinance No. 9830. A portion of the funds was spent to study what upgrades would be required to the building before it could be occupied and to provide an accurate estimate of the cost of those repairs. A balance of $3,934,163.00 currently remains in the project account. BACKGROUND: Funds transferred, budgeted, and appropriated into Project No. CI2426 will be used to pay for multiple expenses related to the relocation of multiple City Departments and the establishment of dedicated offices for the City Council. Anticipated expenses include procurement of moving services; procurement of furniture, fixtures, and equipment; payments for the lease of real property; design and construction of capital improvements to the Public Works Building at 211 E. D Street; procurement and installation of IT equipment, procurement of janitorial services; earnest money payments for the purchase of real property; professional services; and other related project expenses. This project, in conjunction with other funding initiatives currently under consideration by the City Council, will ultimately result in the provision of adequate office space for the Planning, Finance, Law, Human Resources, Civil Service, Public Works, and Wastewater Departments, as well as for Pueblo Transit and City Council. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: Approval of this Resolution will result in funds in the amount of $3,934,163.00 being budgeted and appropriated into a new project account designated as CI2426 - City Council and Department Relocation Project. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable to this Resolution. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: Not applicable to this Resolution.
