Summary
The Board approved three consent items, including a $395,778 contract with the Pueblo County Hispanic Education Foundation to administer Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative funds for the 2026–27 academic year, and a continued declaration of a local disaster emergency for the Aspen Acres area.
The Board approved its consent agenda, which included three items: continuing the county’s declaration of local disaster emergency for the Aspen Acres area, authorizing an agreement with the Pueblo County Hispanic Education Foundation (PHEF) to administer Colorado Opportunity Scholarship Initiative (COSI) funds for the 2026–2027 academic year, and nominating members and alternates to the Monetary Mitigation Fund Advisory Committee of the Fountain Creek Watershed Flood Control and Greenway District.
A commissioner highlighted that the PHEF contract totaled $395,778, noting the county’s match structure will allow the foundation to begin administering scholarships that draw on state COSI funds. The consent agenda was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
