Should the City Council approve the grant contract with the Colorado State Historical
Society for the completion of an East Side Historic and Architectural Context Study and

RECOMMENDATION
Approval of the Ordinance.
BACKGROUND
In January 2008, the City's Historic Preservation Commission was awarded a $14,000
grant to conduct an East Side Historic and Architectural Context Study. The project will
provide needed historic background information regarding the East Side, generate
information that will help with landmark nominations, stimulate neighborhood pride, and
provide information for further historic preservation efforts in an understudied portion of
the City. The result of the project will be a scholarly history of the neighborhood and
planning document to help guide future preservation and planning decisions. The study
will be made available to the public.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Administration of the grant will be the only fiscal impact. No local grant match is
required.
