MEETING DATE: December ] 6, 2009
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Emergency Resolution Approving A Grant Agreement With The State
Historic Fund For Funding Of The Emma Store Restoration Phase II
Construction
STAFF RESPONSIBLE: Dale Will
SUMMARY OF ISSUE: A State Historic Fund grant was awarded to Pitkin County for the purpose
of funding the construction of the Phase II of the Emma Store Restoration. In order to receive those
funds Pitkin County must execute a grant agreement with the SHF.
BACKGROUND: In August of 2009, Pitkin County received a SHF Grant award of $278,325 for the Emma
Store Restoration. A Resolution is now needed authorizing the BOCC Chair to enter into a grant contract.
LINK TO STRATEGIC PLAN: this Resolution pursues the following strategic goals: safe and healthy
community, and fiscal sustainability.
KEY DISCUSSION ITEMS (ALTERNATIVES): Choosing to not enter into a grant agreement with SHF
would forfeit the $278,325 in State funds for the Emma Store.
This $278,325 grant is being matched by $100,000 from the Middle Ranch approval, and $100,000 from the
Open Space Fund. These funds will pay for "Phase II" of the restoration, which includes placing a new roof on
the store buildings and restoration of their exterior walls. OST staff have begun procurement of a contractor for
this work.
The purpose for presenting this item as an emergency resolution is to expedite the award of the project contract.
This is staff's first experience administering a State Historic Grant and staff has only recently become aware
that this grant agreement must be executed before we can enter into a contract for the restoration work.
BUDGETARY IMPACT: The current project budget anticipates use of this grant money for the
restoration.
RECOMMENDED BOCC ACTION: Approve the Resolution approving the grant agreement.
