COLORADO Department of Local Affairs Division of Local Govemment December 5, 2017 The Honorable Robert Muckle, Mayor City of Louisville 749 Main Street Louisville, CO 80027 RE: EIAF 08550 - Louisville Rec/Senior Center Expansion Dear Mayor Muckle: The Department of Local Affairs is in receipt of your application for state Energy and Mineral Impact Assistance funds. These revenues are derived from oil, gas, carbon dioxide, coal, and metals extracted in Colorado. Your project was reviewed based on a vanety of factors such as its connection to energy impact, degree of need, measurable outcomes, amount of request, relationship to community goals, level of local match and community support, management capacity, and readiness to go. Competition for these limited funds was intense and we had many more requests than we had funds available. Congratulations! After thorough review, I am excited to offer a grant award in the amount of $825,000 for the addition of an approximately 8,600 square foot Multi -Activity Court (MAC ) gymnasium to the Louisville Recreation/Senior Center. These grant funds will be from state severance tax proceeds, which may cause you to go to election to receive and spend them. You should confer with your legal and budget advisors to determine if such an election is necessary. Please contact your DOLA Regional Manager, Don Sandoval, at 970-679-4501 for information on how to proceed. As you know, no state funds or matching funds can be obligated before a grant contract is fully executed. Expenditure of any funds pnor to the contract being fully executed cannot be included in the contract budget or reimbursed by the state. Consult your regional manager prior to expending any funds. Per our program guidelines, this offer is valid for one year from the date of this letter. As you begin construction of your project, I ask that you hang a banner on-site, which will be provided by DOLA, to assist in demonstrating the partnership between the state and local governments while acknowledging the industry's contributions to the impact program. Additionally, DOLA would like to send a plaque memorializing the funding partnership, so please alert your Regional Manager when the project is neanng completion so that we will have time to process the plaque. I wish you success with your project.
