SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AND ACCEPTING A SUB-RECIPIENT
GRANT AWARD AND ALL APPLICABLE CONDITIONS PERTAINING
THERETO FROM THE COLORADO SPRINGS POLICE DEPARTMENT,
IN THE AMOUNT OF $24,300.00 FOR THE HIGH INTENSITY DRUG
TRAFFICKING AREAS (HIDTA) PROGRAM, FOR THE PERIOD
JANUARY 1, 2025 THROUGH DECEMBER 31, 2025, AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE SAME
SUMMARY:
The Pueblo Police Department (PPD) has been awarded grant funding in the amount of
$24,300.00 as a sub-recipient of the Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) under
the High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program. This funding supports the
Southern Colorado Drug Enforcement Task Force Initiative and will be used primarily for
vehicle leases to support investigative operations.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
Previous HIDTA sub-recipient grants have been routinely approved by City Council each
year.
BACKGROUND:
This Ordinance, if approved, will allow the City of Pueblo to accept HIDTA Program
funding as a sub-recipient to the Colorado Springs Police Department under Federal
Award Identification Number HID2525G0525.
The HIDTA Program, administered by the Office of National Drug Control Policy
(ONDCP), is designed to reduce drug trafficking and production in the United States by
facilitating cooperation among federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies.
The $24,300 award to the PPD will be utilized to lease up to three investigative vehicles,
as outlined in the approved budget. This funding enhances the operational capacity of
Docusign Envelope ID: 8C3C23FA-C5FE-4BFB-BC8E-D9432109E8CF
the Southern Colorado Drug Enforcement Task Force, which plays a critical role in
disrupting and dismantling drug trafficking organizations in Pueblo and the surrounding
region.
This sub-grant is subject to all administrative and financial requirements of ONDCP,
including requirements set forth in the Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost
Principles, and Audit Requirements in 2 C.F.R. Part 200.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
This grant requires no matching funds from the City of Pueblo.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
No formal stakeholder process is required for this sub-grant.
ALTERNATIVES:
Decline the sub-grant funding, which would eliminate dedicated resources for
investigative vehicle leases for the Southern Colorado Drug Enforcement Task Force.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval of the Ordinance.
