Description
Title: Amends the contract with Urban Drainage and Flood Control District d/b/a Mile High Flood District to add $200,000.00 for a new total of $8,205,000.00 in Mile High Flood District funds for construction of the drainage and flood control improvements for South Platte River. No change to the contract terms, citywide (PARKS-202160713/PARKS-202683374).
Summary
The proposed ordinance involves an amendment to an existing contract with the Urban Drainage and Flood Control District, increasing funding by $200,000, bringing the total to $8,205,000. This funding is specifically allocated for drainage and flood control improvements along the South Platte River. The request comes from the Parks and Recreation agency and does not introduce new city funding, as it is entirely supported by funds from the Mile High Flood District. This initiative affects the local community by enhancing flood management infrastructure, particularly within a half-mile radius of the river, thus promoting public safety and environmental resilience. The project is part of ongoing efforts to improve city infrastructure, and the timeline for the contract remains unchanged.
