SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF PUEBLO, A COLORADO
MUNICIPAL CORPORATION AND PUEBLO COMMUNITY HEALTH
CENTER INC., A COLORADO NON-PROFIT CORPORATION FOR THE
PROVISION OF PRIMARY HEALTH CARE SERVICES AT THE PUEBLO
HOMELESS SHELTER AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR TO EXECUTE
SAID CONTRACT
SUMMARY:
Attached is an Ordinance approving a Memorandum of Understanding between the City
of Pueblo and Pueblo Community Health Center Inc. ("PCHC") for the provision of health
services at the Pueblo Homeless Shelter.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On December 23, 2024 City Council by Ordinance No. 10865 approved an Operating
Agreement with SafeSide Recovery for the operation of the Homeless Shelter.
BACKGROUND:
The City owns the property located at 710 W. 4th Street, Pueblo, Colorado and 728 W.
4th Street, Pueblo, Colorado (collectively the "Property"). The City contracts with
SafeSide Recovery to operate an ongoing and emergency homeless shelter out of the
Property. It is the intent of the City that supportive services such as work programs,
substance abuse treatment programs, mental health programs, and health clinics be
housed within the Property and made available to the unhoused and impoverished
population of the community.
PCHC already provides health care services at the Pueblo Homeless Shelter on a
temporary basis. It has a pop-up clinic at the Shelter; however, PCHC desires to offer
quality primary care services to the homeless population at the Property on a more
Docusign Envelope ID: E91A8FC9-B8FO-4BE1-B30A-D7D6D89A81EA
permanent basis pursuant to the attached MOU. In exchange for offering these services
to the community, the City will allow PCHC to use a portion of the Property for this
purpose free of charge, continue to maintain the Property, and provide security. Either
party may terminate the MOU for convenience upon notice to the other party.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The City already provides utilities and maintenance for the Property. No additional costs
are anticipated for this MOU.
BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
STAKEHOLDER PROCESS:
Not applicable to this Ordinance.
ALTERNATIVES:
If this Ordinance is not approved, PCHC will not provide more permanent primary health
care services at the Pueblo Homeless Shelter.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the Ordinance.
