SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF PUEBLO, A COLORADO MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND THE
TOWN OF BOONE, A COLORADO STATUTORY TOWN CREATING
THE SOUTHERN COLORADO BUILDING DEPARTMENT AND
AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO SIGN THE SAME
SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance approving an agreement with the Town of Boone for the
creation of the Southern Colorado Building Department and authorizing the Mayor to
sign the same. The Southern Colorado Building Department will replace the Pueblo
Regional Building Department effective January 1, 2026.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On October 22, 2012, City Council approved Ordinance No. 8525 approving an
Amended and Restated Agreement between the City of Pueblo, a municipal corporation
and the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Pueblo creating the Pueblo
Regional Building Department.
BACKGROUND:
On October 22, 2012, City Council approved Ordinance No. 8525 approving an
Amended and Restated Agreement between the City of Pueblo, a municipal corporation
and the Board of County Commissioners of the County of Pueblo for the creation of the
Pueblo Regional Building Department (“PRBD”), pursuant to C.R.S. §29-1-203.
Pursuant to its terms, the Amended and Restated Agreement continued from year-to-
year “unless terminated by one party giving the other party written notice of its intention
to terminate at least six months before the end of the calendar year with such
termination to be effective on December 31 of the year in which notice is given.”
On June 27, 2025, Pueblo County provided the City with written notice of its intention to
terminate the Amended and Restated Agreement. Such termination shall be effective
on December 31, 2025.
An intergovernmental agreement with a new partner is needed to create a successor
independent building department. PRBD currently provides service to the Town of
Boone. The Town of Boone is satisfied with the service and has expressed an interest
in entering an intergovernmental agreement with the City. The Boone Town Board will
meet to consider the attached intergovernmental agreement on Monday, November 17,
2025. If approved, the City of Pueblo and Town of Boone will be the initial member
entities to the intergovernmental agreement but the agreement allows other local
governments to join the agreement in the future.
The intergovernmental agreement will establish a new regional building department
called Southern Colorado Building Department (“SCBD”). SCBD will operate the same
as, or substantially similar to PRBD at no cost to the member entities. SCBD will
perform all the services currently being provided by PRBD, including but not limited to
issuing building permits, licensing contractors, and performing building inspections. The
intergovernmental agreement will be effective January 1, 2026.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
SCBD will operate as an enterprise and is self-funding.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
None.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
None.
ALTERNATIVES:
City Council could deny the Ordinance in which case the Pueblo Regional Building
Department will cease operations on December 31, 2025 without a successor entity to
replace it.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approval is recommended.
