SUMMARY:
This Ordinance approves and authorizes the Mayor to sign an Intergovernmental
Agreement accepting 1A funds from Pueblo County to be used to fund, in part, the
construction of the HARP Channel Extension and Boathouse Project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council previously approved on March 18, 2019, an Intergovernmental Agreement
between the parties for the purpose of providing design and construction ready plans
for the HARP Channel Extension and Boathouse Project.
BACKGROUND:
In November 2016, County voters passed Ballot Question 1A, which allows the County
to collect, retain and spend all revenue from all sources notwithstanding the limitations
of Article X, Section 20 of the Colorado Constitution ("TABOR") or other law and utilize
revenues from expiring Tax Incentive Agreements ("TIA") in the amount of
approximately $66 million to fund an initial list of 20 specific community improvement
Projects, and a list of Projects as modified or supplemented from time to time, now
formally known as the Capital Improvement Program ("CIP"). The HARP Channel
Extension and Boathouse Project was identified as a Project.
The design and construction plans contemplated by the previous IGA have been
completed, bids reviewed, and a qualified contractor identified. The project consists of
the demolition of the existing eastern channel terminus, construction of a new channel
eastward to Santa Fe Drive, new and retrofitted utilities, paving and hardscapes,
drainage, site electrical and lighting, landscape improvements as well as the
construction of a new two-story building. The two-story building will be used by HARP
for boat and equipment storage, office space, and public gatherings.
