Background Paper for Proposed
Ordinance
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: April 27, 2026
TO: President Mark Aliff and Members of City Council
CC: Mayor Heather Graham
VIA: Clyde Bishop, City Clerk
FROM: Andrew Hayes, Public Works Director
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE
PURCHASE ORDER FROM THE STATE OF COLORADO BY AND
THROUGH THE COLORADO ENERGY OFFICE, WHICH PROVIDES
FUNDING IN THE AMOUNT OF $72,000 AND REDUCING THE
ESTABLISHED APPROPRIATION FROM $126,779 IN PROJECT
ACCOUNT C12509 - PUBLIC WORKS ENERGY COORDINATOR TO
$78,779.
SUMMARY:
This Ordinance accepts an amended small dollar grant in the form of a purchase order
from the Colorado Energy Office in the amount of $72,000.00 for the purpose of acquiring
the services of an energy coordinator.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
City Council passed Ordinance No. 10942 on May 12, 2025, approving a purchase order
issued by the Colorado Energy Office.
BACKGROUND:
The original award required the City of Pueblo to match $6,779.00, which was provided
by transfer from the 2025 Public Works Department Operating Budget (10140103
51060). The original grant award allocated to the project plus the City's match amount
totaled $126,779.00, which was budgeted and appropriated into Project Account C12509
- Public Works Energy Coordinator.
This Ordinance approves the acceptance of reduced funds in the amount of $72,000.00
from the Colorado Energy Office for the same purpose of acquiring the services of an
energy coordinator to assist the Public Works Department with various energy -related
work. Currently, Public Works is executing an Energy Performance Contract which will
identify energy -saving and greenhouse gas reduction opportunities through the
performance of an investment -grade audit which may serve as the baseline for seeking
funding for future capital projects to upgrade certain facility systems, components, and
equipment using cost savings from energy consumption reductions to fund those
upgrades. Public Works is also implementing a new software system to collect and
analyze energy consumption data on City -owned facilities. This software ("Energy
Manager") will facilitate monitoring of energy consumption, analysis of energy trends for
each building/meter, and identification of future energy -saving opportunities. Through
this grant, the Energy Coordinator will be able to assist the Department with these efforts
and other energy -related matters over the next 6 months.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The already appropriated and budgeted funds in Project Account C12509 will be reduced
by the amount of $48,000.00 . Remaining in the account will be $72,000.00 from the
amended small dollar grant in the form of a purchase order from the Colorado Energy
Office, and the original City match of $6,779.00 The balance of the account will be
reduced to reflect the updated award amount.
