Amended 8-7-17 to reallocate a portion of the bond proceeds associated with the debt issuance for transportation and mobility projects by eliminating the Federal Boulevard Transit Infrastructure Project; thus, freeing up $9.8 million to be reallocated as follows: An additional $4.2 million for Morrison Road Improvements, bringing the total amount of bond proceeds to be dedicated to this project to $12,242,500. The addition of the following three projects that were originally listed on potential project lists, but were not included in the Mayor’s recommendation: Central Street Promenade (with an estimated cost of $850,000), Federal Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements (with an estimated cost of $2.85 million), West Colfax Transit Enhancements (with an estimated cost of $1.9 million).

Designates the projects and level of funding to be undertaken with the proceeds of any general obligations bonds authorized by voters at the 11-7-17 election. The Committee approved filing this bill at its meeting on 7-24-17. Amended 8-7-17 to reallocate a portion of the bond proceeds associated with the debt issuance for transportation and mobility projects by eliminating the Federal Boulevard Transit Infrastructure Project; thus, freeing up $9.8 million to be reallocated as follows: An additional $4.2 million for Morrison Road Improvements, bringing the total amount of bond proceeds to be dedicated to this project to $12,242,500. The addition of the following three projects that were originally listed on potential project lists, but were not included in the Mayor’s recommendation: Central Street Promenade (with an estimated cost of $850,000), Federal Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements (with an estimated cost of $2.85 million), West Colfax Transit Enhancements (with an estimated cost of $1.9 million). Amended 8-14-17 to ensure that Council retains control over the deletion of any project listed in the companion ordinance, to the same degree as the Council retained and exercised such authority under the 2007 companion ordinance related to the Better Denver Bonds. The bond team still would gain more flexibility to make changes or shift funds within each of the seven purposes in the program, as market demands may require, but would have to gain council permission to drop any of the listed projects entirely. A motion offered by Councilwoman Gilmore, duly seconded by Councilman Herndon, that Council Bill 17-0819 be ordered published, was followed by a motion offered by Councilman López, duly seconded by Councilwoman Ortega, that Council Bill 17-0819 be amended to reallocate a potion of the bond proceeds associated with the debt issuance for transportation and mobility projects by eliminating the Federal Boulevard Transit Infrastructure Project; thus, freeing up $9.8 million to be reallocated as follows: An additional $4.2 million for Morrison Road Improvements, bringing the total amount of the bond proceeds to be dedicated to this project to $12,242,500. The addition of the following three projects that were originally listed on potential project lists, but were not included in the Mayor's recommendation: Central Street Promenade (with an estimated cost of $850,000), Federal Boulevard Pedestrian Improvements (with an estimated cost of $2.85 million), and West Colfax Transit Enhancements (with an estimated cost of $1.9 million).
