SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION APPROVING PAYMENT IN THE AMOUNT OF
$100,000 FROM PROJECT CI2113 - AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT
FOR TRAIL REPLACEMENT ALONG THE ARKANSAS RIVER AND
FOUNTAIN CREEK, AS AUTHORIZED BY SECTION 603(C)(1)(C) OF
THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT AND U.S. TREASURY FINAL
RULE 31 CFR §35.6
SUMMARY:
This Resolution authorizes payment in the amount of $100,000 from Project CI2113
River and Fountain Creek. This payment is authorized by section 603 (c)(1)(C) of the
American Rescue Plan Act and U.S. Treasury Final Rule 31 CFR §35.6.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
By Ordinance No. 9931, approved on May 17, 2021, the City Council established
Project No. CI2113 and budgeted and appropriated up to $36.7 million in funds which
were expected to be distributed to the City from ARPA for covered costs and eligible
expenses to be incurred during the period which began on March 3, 2021, until
December 31, 2024 (to be expended by December 31, 2026).
BACKGROUND:
ARPA authorized a revenue replacement calculation that would allow state and local
governments to use a portion of ARPA allocation for government services. The City of
Pueblo has calculated lost revenue of $9,409,304.
The trail along the Arkansas River and Fountain Creek have been damaged by tree
roots and heavy vehicles using the trail for utility repairs. As a result, the concrete trail
is heaving, broken, and uneven in many areas. This project would repair approximately
1,000 to 1,500 linear feet of concrete trail.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
Funding in the amount of $100,000 will be paid out of Project Cl2113 - American
Rescue Plan.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Resolution.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could decide not to authorize payment of the funds and leave the concrete
trail in its current condition.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Resolution.
