PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Council supported this event in 2023 and 2022 for $700.
BACKGROUND:
The Pueblo Levee Walk is in its 4th year and is one of the major fundraisers for the
Pueblo Downtown Association. This year's event will include a 5k fun run with contests
for the fastest runner, the best costume, and a scavenger hunt. Also, back by popular
demand, the Downtown Association will be hosting food trucks, vendors, and Zumba by
the river. With the walk now incorporating a 5k fun-run, Downtown Association
anticipates over 300 hundred attendees at the event. Funds from this event will aid in
improvements to the lighting on Union Avenue, to create a safer environment and draw
more tourism to the area, and to continue to support the mission of beautification and
promotion of business in Pueblo.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Payment of funds in the amount of $1,000 would be paid from the Council
Contingencies Account in the 2024 General Fund Budget to the Pueblo Downtown
Association.
