SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance approving and accepting a grant in the amount of
grant requires matching funds from the City and therefore, the Ordinance transfers
$1,000,000 from the General Fund for a total of $2,000,000 budgeted and appropriated
to Project No. CI2432 to be used to fund, in part, the HARP Channel Extension and
Boathouse construction project.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Pueblo and
collaborated over many years to complete the HARP channel and improve the
Riverwalk. The DOLA grant and matching funds will be used to further this collaboration
and complete the next phase of the overall plan. The HARP Channel Extension and
Boathouse construction project will result in demolition of the existing eastern channel
terminus, construction of new channel eastward to Santa Fe Drive, new and retrofitted
utilities, paving and hardscapes, drainage, site electrical and lighting, landscape
improvements, and the construction of a new two-story building which will house
equipment and boats, HARP offices, and a roof top space for public gatherings.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The DOLA grant will provide $1,000,000, and $1,000,000 will be transferred from the
the HARP Channel Extension and Boathouse Project. Acceptance of the grant will
bind the City to the conditions of the DOLA grant agreement.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
If the proposed Ordinance is not approved, the Historic Arkansas Riverwalk of Pueblo
(HARP) will not receive the grant funds and would be unable to complete the Project.
