TITLE
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE 2004 CITY BUDGET BY INCREASING THE BUDGET
USING ACCUMULATED FUND BALANCE AND APPROPRIATING THE CITY OF
PUEBLO'S PUEBLO AREA COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS FY 2004 CONSOLIDATED
PLANNING GRANT MATCH IN THE AMOUNT OF $20,552
ISSUE
Should the City of Pueblo financially participate in the Pueblo Area Council of
Government Regional Transportation Planning effort?
RECOMMENDATION
Approve the Ordinance budgeting and appropriating the funds.
BACKGROUND
The Pueblo Area Council of Governments ( PACOG) is requesting $20,552 from the City of
Pueblo as the City's share of the match to fund Transportation Planning for the Pueblo
Region. The request was not included in the original funds requested by PACOG and
budgeted by the City for PACOG expenses. The City of Pueblo, through a delegation
agreement with PACOG, performs the Transportation Planning for the Region through the
Unified Planning Work Program. Over 70% of the work performed through this planning
effort occurs within or directly benefits the City of Pueblo.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The City's portion of the PACOG match to fund the Consolidated Transportation Planning
effort is $20,552. This amount is arrived at through the following calculation:
The Transportation Planning Grant received from the State of Colorado by PACOG
requires an 18 percent match. The City of Pueblo funds 72 percent of the PACOG match.
In 2004 the $20,552 requested by PACOG is actually less than the 72 percent match due
to excess carry over funds from previous years.
With the population growth in the Metropolitan Planning Region, and the resulting
enlargement of the boundaries of the Metropolitan Planning Region, the City's financial
contribution to the planning effort has decreased from previous years.
