Summary
County Manager Vina Genesio presented a draft federal funding request for road and bridge infrastructure seeking $3 million; staff will gather letters of support and seek a resolution at Tuesday’s meeting to supplement the application.
Vina Genesio, Pueblo County manager, briefed the Board of County Commissioners on a draft federal funding request for road and bridge infrastructure that seeks $3,000,000.
Genesio said the application and narrative explaining the county’s road and bridge needs are in the commissioners’ SharePoint and that letters of support must accompany the submission, which was due the day of the work session. She told the board she planned to prepare a resolution for the Tuesday board meeting that would also serve as supporting documentation and that she was reaching out to potential quick-turnaround supporters.
When asked whether the request required a local match, Genesio said no match was specified in the document provided to staff. She added that if a match were later required, the county could use its road and bridge allocation as local match, and she viewed that as low risk.
Commissioners did not take a formal vote during the work session; staff committed to circulating the draft and pursuing letters of support and a board resolution to accompany the federal application.
