RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the adoption of the Resolution.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The City entered into an agreement with Great Outdoors Colorado on August 3, 1999. The grant.
amount is for $50,000 to help fund the development of a skate park at Edora Park. The
agreement had a project completion date of November 22, 2000. The design process for the
skate park proved to be more time consuming than first thought. The public process was very
extensive and required considerable time meeting with the interested youth of the community.
Construction on the skate park is scheduled to start this winter with completion set for the spring
of 2001. This Resolution will authorize an extension of the project completion date for the Great
Outdoors Colorado grant to November 22, 2001.
