CITY OF GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO
RESOLUTION NO. 22-14

A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO SUBMIT A GRANT REQUEST TO THE COLORADO DEPARTMENT OF LOCAL AFFAIRS’ (DOLA) ENERGY AND MINERAL IMPACT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM FOR DEVELOPMENT OF FIRE STATION 4 ON ORCHARD MESA

RECITALS.

In June of 2013, the City was awarded a grant from the Department of Local Affairs for the design of a new fire station in Pear Park. Subsequent to that award, planning for the Pear Park Station was put on hold pending the outcome of negotiations with the Clifton Fire District Board on how best to serve the Pear Park area. In November of 2013, the DOLA contract was modified to allow the grant to be used for design of the relocated Station 4 on Orchard Mesa. The City is in negotiations for the purchase of property near B½ and 29 Roads on Orchard Mesa for the relocated station and a Request for Proposals for design consulting services is ready to be issued. The design should be completed by the end of the year, allowing for construction of a new Fire Station 4 in 2015.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED THAT the City Council of the City of Grand Junction does hereby authorize the City Manager to submit a $1,966,428 grant request, with a local match of $655,476, in accordance with and pursuant to the recitals stated above to the Department of Local Affairs’ Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance Program for development of Fire Station 4 on Orchard Mesa.

Dated this 16^th day of July, 2014.

President of the Council
