Councilmember says DRCOG discussion could bring funds to Parker; TIP timing questioned
Summary
Council member John Wilkes reported from a Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) meeting that a 'building policy jurisdictional support subaward program' could bring funds to Parker and noted that adjustments to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) may affect two Parker projects on a wait list for the 2028 program year.
Council member John Wilkes told the Parker Town Council Thursday that a recent Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) meeting included discussion of a "building policy jurisdictional support subaward program" that he said could potentially bring funds to Parker.
"That could potentially mean some funds coming to Parker to help improve either our processes or our our buildings," Wilkes said, adding he had discussed the item with Acting Town Manager Lawson. He also reported on subcommittee discussion about adjustments to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and said the 2028 program year "might be a standalone year," which prompted questions about whether two Parker projects currently on the wait list would be affected.
Wilkes identified the TIP and the subaward program as matters his regional board is tracking; he said he will follow up with staff, including Public Works Director Tom Williams, about Parker’s position on the wait list. The council did not take formal action at the meeting; Wilkes framed his remarks as a report from regional boards.
No commitments of regional funds or formal Parker approvals were made during the report. Wilkes’ comments indicate staff follow-up is needed to determine whether DRCOG program adjustments will change Parker’s project schedules or funding availability.
