[0:36]
here members first thing on
[0:38]
the agenda today is
[0:38]
consideration of higher
[0:40]
education cash fund requests
[0:42]
from pueblounity College. do
[0:44]
we have president Hazel becker
[0:44]
come on up
[0:54]
Welcome to the CdC President
[0:55]
Hazelbucker do you want to start
[0:55]
us off?
[1:00]
chair and members of the
[1:00]
committee thank you so much for
[1:02]
the opportunity to talk about
[1:04]
this important project for
[1:06]
pueblo Community College today.
[1:06]
so today I'm requesting your
[1:10]
authority to purchase and
[1:12]
remodel a building in pueblo
[1:14]
west Colorado. we're currently
[1:16]
calling this the pueblo west
[1:16]
tradede building. the
[1:20]
acquisition would allow us to
[1:22]
get about 16,000 square feet
[1:26]
2.679 acres. The keys for us are
[1:27]
really there's kind of three
[1:27]
keys why we are asking for the
[1:28]
authority
[1:32]
to spend this $3.75 million. the
[1:34]
three key messages for us are is
[1:36]
Senator Henrickson will know the
[1:39]
fastest area of pueblo is pueblo
[1:42]
west this facility will
[1:44]
specifically serve welding
[1:44]
and automotive students and
[1:46]
those are two of the fastest
[1:48]
growing programs at pueblo
[1:48]
Community College and there's
[1:50]
really 3 key points on this for
[1:52]
us.umber one is this is pure
[1:54]
growth for us so that we
[1:56]
actually have 140 students ready
[1:57]
to go 160 students'm sorry 160
[1:57]
students ready
[2:00]
to go in these programs today
[2:02]
that we don't have capacity to
[2:04]
serve so when we opened the
[2:06]
building in pueblo west in the
[2:06]
fall with your permission we
[2:09]
will be actually adding 160
[2:10]
students to our roles that are
[2:12]
currently on waiting lists
[2:14]
either at pueblo West High
[2:14]
School or at pueblo Community
[2:16]
College so we have the students
[2:18]
this is also the happyppy
[2:20]
project where you also have the
[2:21]
employers. so if you look at the
[2:22]
employment numbers we have
[2:24]
pueblo is still highly reliant
[2:26]
on manufacturing and we know
[2:27]
that we have employers ready
[2:27]
to
[2:30]
hire these folks had a meeting
[2:32]
for instance with CS Wi one of
[2:34]
our important local partners
[2:36]
and they told me the other day
[2:38]
that they would take 120 welders
[2:39]
if I could turn them out
[2:40]
tomorrow. frankly I can't turn
[2:42]
them out tomorrow because I
[2:42]
don't have the space to do that
[2:44]
so that we know that we have
[2:46]
employment in these areas and
[2:46]
then the final key point for us
[2:48]
is this allows us to expand our
[2:50]
facility into the largest
[2:52]
growing area of the county into
[2:54]
a facility that doesn't have any
[2:56]
restraints in terms of what we
[2:56]
can do there in terms of welding
[2:57]
and automotive. it's already
[2:58]
indus
[3:00]
tri al it's already being used
[3:02]
by a for profit education
[3:04]
provider to provide similar
[3:04]
training though they're not
[3:06]
doing welding they're they are
[3:08]
doing automotive there so it
[3:08]
provides us a good space in an
[3:10]
area of the county that's
[3:12]
growing so really appreciate
[3:12]
your consideration of this
[3:14]
project and happy to answer any
[3:14]
questions.
[3:16]
this committee have any
[3:17]
questions for
[3:18]
the president
[3:24]
madam vice chair thank you Mr
[3:25]
Chair. I don't really have any
[3:26]
questions but I'm glad you
[3:28]
figured out a path going
[3:30]
forward. I think this is
[3:32]
great just given the workforce
[3:36]
need that's out there and so
[3:36]
yeah I think it'll be great
[3:37]
thank you we're very excited
[3:40]
thank you madam vice chairir let
[3:40]
the record reflect
[3:42]
thatpresentativemaro is with us.
[3:46]
I do have maybe one or two
[3:46]
questions when we look at the
[3:50]
cost is that the cost of
[3:52]
the property coupled with the
[3:54]
cost of any retrofitting is that
[3:56]
all in? Yep so 2.85 million is
[3:58]
the purchase price for the
[4:00]
property and then it's a little
[4:00]
a little under a million is what
[4:02]
the retrofit will cost us what
[4:04]
is the property appraised for do
[4:06]
we know that I don't know that
[4:07]
yeah the
[4:10]
property was originally put on
[4:12]
the market at 3.5 million. we
[4:14]
did work with the owner of the
[4:14]
property to get down to that
[4:17]
2.85 purchase price but I
[4:18]
don't have a current appraisal
[4:18]
for you and then your
[4:20]
partnership with pueblo
[4:24]
disstrict se0 is that support
[4:26]
essentially just kind of paying
[4:26]
tuition for those students to
[4:28]
come or is there any other type
[4:30]
of support that comes along with
[4:32]
that partnership. The
[4:34]
partnership will include bussing
[4:34]
so they're willing to bus their
[4:36]
students from pueblo West High
[4:37]
School to the facility and
[4:37]
then Pueblo
[4:40]
west has also been a school
[4:42]
district that has been
[4:42]
particularly helpful in
[4:44]
providing the cost of materials
[4:46]
books for those their
[4:46]
students which you know isn't
[4:48]
covered under the CE funding
[4:50]
model so it's a it's a
[4:52]
relatively minor investment on
[4:52]
their end but the the
[4:54]
partnership is a little bit more
[4:56]
than just sending students
[4:56]
perfect. Any further questions
[4:57]
for
[4:58]
the president
[5:02]
seeing none madam Weister
[5:06]

KimRogers, CPw real estate
[6:58]
section manager and Rick
[7:00]
Bazagoitia CPw area wildlife
[7:01]
Manager.
[7:06]
CPw is seeking to purchase 2,427
[7:08]
acres surrounding the existing
[7:09]
Lahara reservoir state wildlife
[7:10]
area in fee title from the state
[7:11]
land board.
[7:14]
DPw currently owns and manages
[7:16]
approximately700 acres in and
[7:18]
around this reservoir and this
[7:20]
fee title acquisition will grow
[7:22]
the state wildlife area to over
[7:24]
3000 acres giving CPw directman
[7:26]
control of the reservoir and the
[7:27]
surrounding basin.
[7:31]
Cpw will be responsible for4.85
[7:32]
million dollars of this purchase
[7:34]
cost which will be paid for
[7:36]
using habitat stamp dollars an
[7:38]
additional $1.2 million will be
[7:40]
matched with funding from our
[7:40]
partners including great
[7:44]
Outdoors Colorado or goo the
[7:44]
national fish and Wildlife
[7:46]
Foundation and the Rio Grande
[7:47]
headwaters Land Trust.
[7:54]
The2427 acres at CPw is seeking
[7:54]
to acquire have been owned by
[7:56]
the state land board since 1881
[7:58]
but CPw has leased these lands
[8:00]
for multiple decades through the
[8:00]
state trust lands hunting and
[8:04]
fishing Access programme under
[8:06]
CPw ownership the property will
[8:06]
continue to provide public
[8:08]
access for hunting, fishing,
[8:10]
camping and wildlife viewing as
[8:12]
CPw recognizes the recreational
[8:14]
opportunities provided by this
[8:14]
property are incredibly
[8:16]
important to the residents of
[8:17]
Canaos County.
[8:18]
Direct management and control of
[8:20]
the reservoir and surrounding
[8:22]
shoreline will allow Cpw to
[8:22]
preserve and enhance the
[8:24]
wildlife habitat, continue
[8:26]
public access and allow for
[8:28]
continued continued seasonal
[8:29]
grazing in a manner that will
[8:30]
improve and maintain grass
[8:30]
conditions and wetland habitat.
[8:34]
in your packet you'll find a
[8:34]
letter of support from theaddeos
[8:36]
board of county commissioners
[8:38]
along with a letter of support
[8:40]
from minority leader Simpson and
[8:41]
with that I ask for your support
[8:42]
on this property transaction
[8:44]
proposal and our team is happy
[8:44]

[8:54]
Rick Basogodia to speak to that
[8:56]
or they just here for questions
[8:56]
only on those projectsect
[9:02]
maybe what we'll do is if we'll
[9:02]
just go through them and then we
[9:03]
can
[9:04]
maybe we can just raise our
[9:06]
hands if we have questions as
[9:08]
the projects go along. do we
[9:08]
have any questions on this
[9:09]
project? madam vice chair
[9:14]
thank you Mr Cha. I just am
[9:16]
curious if there's anybody on
[9:20]
the team that knows what the US
[9:22]
Forest Service and Bureau
[9:24]
oflandnd Management will be
[9:24]
doing with their43,00
[9:30]
hemming thank you Mr Chair and
[9:32]
my colleague Rick Bazagoita
[9:34]
will be able to speak to this in
[9:34]
more detail but I did want to
[9:36]
mention that there is as you
[9:36]
have mentioned in the packet
[9:38]
some detail about additional
[9:40]
parcels that will be sold from
[9:40]
the state land board to the
[9:42]
federal government so the the US
[9:44]
fish the US Forestervice and
[9:46]
the Bureau oflandnd Management
[9:47]
those parcels are a separate
[9:48]
exchange and the state land
[9:50]
board is hoping to finalize that
[9:52]
sometime before the end of
[9:54]
October so that is also in the
[9:54]
works but I can turn it over to
[9:56]
my colleague Rick to kind of
[9:57]
speak to your question in more
[9:57]
detail.

Mr Becodia
[10:04]
good morning chair vice chair
[10:06]
members rick Bossagua Harry
[10:08]
Wallach manager in the Sanmos
[10:10]
alley. yes with regard to the
[10:12]
forestervice andbLM they'll both
[10:12]
be acquiring portions of this
[10:13]
property
[10:15]
they will essentially be
[10:18]
managing them as they typically
[10:20]
would forced and and BLM lands
[10:20]
public lands
[10:24]
we are working closely with them
[10:26]
because close coordination on
[10:26]
this is going to be important
[10:30]
it's very it's critical wildlife
[10:30]
habitat especially in the
[10:31]
wintertime
[10:34]
and a very very popular remote
[10:36]
hunting and and other outdoor
[10:38]
recreation property so they will
[10:40]
continue to manage for multiple
[10:42]
uses and and more most
[10:44]
importantly by taking over the
[10:48]
grazing management there that
[10:48]
CPw just wouldn't be able to
[10:49]
handle at that scale
[10:50]
thank you
[10:54]
Any further questions on this
[10:55]
project?
[10:56]
seeingun we'll move on to the
[10:57]

[11:02]
thank you Mr Chair. Moving on to
[11:04]
the proposed Garluzzo fee title
[11:06]

Drrewing parkk manager with
[11:16]
Fishers Peak State Park to help
[11:16]
answer any questions that you
[11:17]
may have on this proposal.
[11:22]
CPw is seeking to acquire a 13.3
[11:24]
acre parcel adjacent to Fishers'
[11:26]
Peak State Park. The property
[11:28]
was valued at $230,000 and will
[11:30]
be paid for from lottery funds.
[11:32]
The current property owners wish
[11:34]
to sell this property to CPw for
[11:36]
the purposes of contributing to
[11:36]
meaningful outdoor recreation at
[11:37]
the park.
[11:40]
with the acquisition of this
[11:42]
property, CPw will be able to
[11:42]
design and build an attractive
[11:44]
and functional entrance gate
[11:46]

[12:04]
proposal and we're happy to take
[12:05]
any questions.
[12:07]
the committee have any questions
[12:08]
on this proposal?
[12:12]
Seeing none will move on, Miss
[12:13]
He
[12:20]
Thank you Mr Chair. Next I will
[12:21]
be presenting a property
[12:22]
transaction proposal for CPw
[12:25]
located within Weld County to
[12:26]
establish a new state wildlife
[12:28]
area that we are looking to call
[12:30]
the Paloma prairie State
[12:32]
wildlife Area. for this proposal
[12:34]
I am joined again by KimRogers
[12:34]
CPw real estate section manager
[12:38]
andri Medenbrink CPw assistant
[12:38]
assistant area wildlife manager
[12:39]
to help answer any questions.
[12:42]
c p w is looking to acquire
[12:45]
approximately 640 acres of land
[12:46]
in Weld County, the property was
[12:48]
formerly used as a research site
[12:50]
for the national aeronautics and
[12:52]
atmosphericdministration or NOA.
[12:54]
however the property has not
[12:55]
been used for decades and the
[12:56]
building on the property has
[12:58]
since become dilapidated.
[13:00]
pursuant to an act of Congress
[13:02]
approved in 1948, the federal
[13:03]
government is authorized to
[13:04]
transfer surplus federal
[13:07]
property to state wildlife and
[13:08]
agencies for the purpose of
[13:10]
wildlife conservation. CPw
[13:10]
applied to
[13:12]
receive this specific property
[13:14]
under this federal provision and
[13:15]
was approved for the exchange
[13:16]
which will be of no cost to CPw
[13:17]
to acquire.
[13:20]
This exchange will allow CPw to
[13:22]
establish a new statewide
[13:23]
wildlife area and an area of the
[13:24]
state that has great demand for
[13:26]
hunting but rather limited
[13:27]
opportunities
[13:30]
the property is suitable for
[13:30]
hunting small game and deer and
[13:32]
will also provide the
[13:32]
opportunity for grazing every
[13:34]
couple of years to help improve
[13:35]
the habitat on the parcel.
[13:38]
The building currently located
[13:39]
on the property will need to be
[13:41]
demolished for safety purposes
[13:42]
which is estimated to cost CPW
[13:46]
approximately $200,000 in your
[13:46]
packet you'll find a concurrence
[13:48]
letter for this transaction from
[13:48]
the Weld County Board of
[13:50]
commissioners and with that I
[13:51]
ask for your support and I'm
[13:52]
happy to take any questions.
[13:54]
any questions on this project
[13:55]
from the committee
[13:56]
Senator Henrickson
[14:00]
thank you Mr Chair.
[14:04]
thank you Misshamming. so this
[14:08]
is one I mean 640 acres it's one
[14:10]
square mile. it looks like from
[14:12]
the satellite images the there
[14:12]
is not
[14:14]
in the adjacent
[14:20]
640 acre blocks it it looks
[14:21]
like there is not
[14:24]
agriculture ongoing right now.
[14:26]
Is there potential opportunity
[14:27]
for
[14:31]
for a lance's trust later on so
[14:32]
that the the hunting
[14:34]
opportunities on the land could
[14:36]
be expanded to the greater
[14:36]
property adjacent to it
[14:40]
Sammy thank you for that
[14:42]
question Senator Henrickson. I
[14:43]
will turn that over to KimRogers
[14:44]
CPw's real estate section
[14:45]
manager Mr.Rogers
[14:54]
you're muted miss rogers
[15:03]
Thank you. good morning chair
[15:04]
and committee members KimRogers
[15:08]
real estate section manager for
[15:10]
Colorado Parks and wildlife
[15:12]
there isn't any other protected
[15:18]
land around this property so
[15:18]
it it would be
[15:23]
purely a guess on my part as
[15:23]
to whether or not
[15:28]
we could expand this in the
[15:28]
future
[15:32]
and
[15:38]
if I may respectfully remind
[15:40]
the committee that generally we
[15:42]
vote after each project
[15:42]
thank you
[15:48]
we will we will make a motion
[15:48]
after the presentations for each
[15:49]
project.
[15:52]
Miss Hamy is there any further
[15:54]
questions from the committee?
[15:58]
seeing no I just I would like to
[16:00]
say just credit to your
[16:02]
department Misshamming. I think
[16:02]
it's pretty neat that you're
[16:04]
able to to kind of find this and
[16:06]
and take advantage of you know
[16:08]
this the program from the
[16:09]
federal government to be able to
[16:10]
acquire this and add it to the
[16:14]
assets of of CPw and you know be
[16:16]
able to have a a a piece of land
[16:18]
you know inwell County that the
[16:20]
folks will be able to access for
[16:20]
a number of different reasons
[16:22]
and so kudos to you all for
[16:23]
for taking advantage of that
[16:26]
thank you Mr Char yeah we're
[16:28]
always incredibly excited at the
[16:28]
opportunity to open up more
[16:30]
access to hunting and other
[16:32]
recreation to folks across the
[16:32]
state especially in this area of
[16:36]
the state so and we are to the
[16:38]
final project I believe before
[16:38]
us with the cottonwood state
[16:39]
wildlife areaa Missham.
[16:42]
thank you Mr Chair. Finally we'd
[16:44]
like to present a property
[16:46]
transaction proposal to secure a
[16:46]
water pipeline easement at
[16:48]
Cottonwood State Wildlife Area
[16:50]
for this proposal I am joined
[16:52]
online by KimRogers CPw real
[16:54]
estate section manager and todd
[16:56]
Kozad Cpw Area wildlife Manager
[16:57]
to help answer any questions
[16:57]
that the committee may have.
[17:00]
c p w is seeking to acquire a
[17:02]
perpetual irrigation water
[17:04]
conveyance easement across
[17:04]
private land in order to deliver
[17:06]
water to the cottonwood State
[17:08]
wildlife area for a total
[17:10]
consideration of7,500 dollars
[17:10]
paid for from wildlife cash
[17:14]
c p w retains ownership of
[17:16]
ditched shares and well pumping
[17:17]
rights on cottonwood state
[17:18]
wildlife area. however
[17:20]
utilization of Cpw's irrigation
[17:22]
water has been challenging due
[17:24]
to the creation, operation and
[17:24]
maintenance of an open
[17:26]
irrigation ditch aligned through
[17:28]
a center pivot irrigation field
[17:30]
on privately held property
[17:30]
located just south of the state
[17:31]
wildlife area.
[17:34]
a formal easement will allow CPw
[17:36]
to continue to move water to the
[17:38]
state wildlife area for the
[17:40]
beneficial use of wildlife
[17:40]
without damaging any of the
[17:42]
crops on the private property to
[17:42]
its south.
[17:44]
in your packet you'll find a
[17:46]
letter of concurrence from the
[17:48]
Morgan County Board of
[17:48]
commissioners on this property
[17:50]
transaction proposal and with
[17:50]
that I ask for your support and
[17:52]
I'm happy to take any questions.
[17:54]

much
[20:54]
Next up members we have a
[20:58]
presentation from the P3 project
[21:02]
department for updates do
[21:02]
we have Tomuric here
[21:06]
camemeron Kennedy and Louordova.
[21:36]
wants to start us off
[21:44]
Good morning Mr Chairormerrick.
[22:04]
thank you for taking the time to
[22:06]
listen to my update on the p3
[22:08]
unit's progress today I want to
[22:08]
give you a clear view of where
[22:12]
the portfolio stands the value
[22:12]
of these projects can create for
[22:14]
Colorado and the s and the work
[22:16]
still required to deliver them.
[22:48]
we have moved forward from
[22:48]
building a new program the
[22:50]
matting is just a substantial
[22:52]
statewide pipeline that's
[22:52]
meaningful progress for our
[22:54]
office it also means that for
[22:56]
some of these projects we are
[22:58]
now doing the difficult but
[22:58]
necessary middle stage work
[23:00]
where entitlement infrastructure
[23:02]
financing and community issues
[23:04]
have to be solved before
[23:04]
construction can begin.
[23:08]
The unit exists to term public
[23:08]
assets and public priorities
[23:10]
into viable projects that the
[23:11]
state could not deliver alone.
[23:14]
This update shows that portfolio
[23:16]
with real scale strong
[23:18]
development partners and a
[23:18]
disciplined path from
[23:19]
opportunity to implementation.
[23:30]
this is the show's our statewide
[23:31]
p free delivery platform
[23:36]
SB22130 gave the state a
[23:38]
dedicated platform for
[23:38]
developing public private
[23:40]
partnerships we do much more
[23:42]
than just identify the land. We
[23:44]
test feasibility run competitive
[23:46]
procurements negotiate
[23:48]
agreements coordinate agencies,
[23:50]
local governments and we stay
[23:51]
involved throughout the
[23:52]
implementation.
[23:54]
eachach one of these steps
[23:56]
listed here takes time
[23:56]
throughout the process
[24:00]
or measure of success is not the
[24:02]
number of ideas announced it is
[24:04]
the number of wellstructured
[24:04]
projects that deliver public
[24:06]
benefit while protecting the
[24:06]
state.
[24:14]
current portfolio outlook
[24:16]
portfolio now includes eight
[24:18]
active projects more than 1600
[24:20]
proposed affordable and tainable
[24:22]
homes at least4 childcare
[24:24]
facilities more than 390 million
[24:26]
in expected private investment
[24:28]
and more than 13 million in
[24:30]
projected program revenue over
[24:30]
10 years.
[24:32]
we are also honored that the
[24:36]
unit was named a 2026 P3 awards
[24:38]
finalist for public sector
[24:38]
procuer of the year by the p3
[24:39]
bulletin
[24:42]
that recognition is significant
[24:44]
because it comes from the
[24:46]
internationalal P3 industry and
[24:46]
reflects the quality of the
[24:48]
platform Colorado has built in a
[24:49]
short period of time
[24:50]
it recognizes the hard work of
[24:52]
our team our agency partners in
[24:54]
the private and community
[24:54]
partners helping move these
[24:56]
projects forward. we're proud of
[24:58]
it while recognizing that the
[24:59]
ultimate measure of success will
[25:00]
be delivering these projects for
[25:01]
Colorado.
[25:04]
these numbers show the promise
[25:04]
of the portfolio
[25:10]
Can I just ask a quick question.
[25:12]
I'm sorry. we were having a
[25:14]
few words for a moment but thank
[25:18]
you. I just took liberty while
[25:20]
you were away I'm I'm curious
[25:22]
like who is awarding the award
[25:24]
and you might have stated it and
[25:24]
I apologize for our sidebar.
[25:26]
k ir k
[25:30]
thank you Mr Chair. Madam Weiser
[25:32]
it's the P3 bulletin their
[25:32]
industry
[25:38]
magazine slash consortium so
[25:38]
they do an award for
[25:42]
the public private partnerships
[25:44]
around the around the world this
[25:46]
is a word for the Americas so
[25:46]
we're actually going up against
[25:48]
the University of Kansas the
[25:50]
Brazil land transformation
[25:52]
agency and the Guatemalan
[25:53]
infrastructure agency.
[25:55]
you
[26:00]
obviously the these numbers
[26:02]
these are not guaranteed
[26:04]
outcomes so our responsibility
[26:04]
is to convert the promise into
[26:06]
durable agreements and complete
[26:06]
a project
[26:15]
Repeatable p3 delivery model
[26:18]
this is something we have
[26:18]
developed since the beginning of
[26:19]
our office
[26:22]
and this slide explains why
[26:24]
major pc projects take time. A
[26:26]
good concept must survive
[26:28]
feasibility work, market
[26:30]
testing, procurement agreement
[26:32]
negotiations, public approvals
[26:34]
entitlement financing and
[26:36]
construction. Each step proje
[26:36]
protects the state and improves
[26:38]
the likelihood that the project
[26:39]
can actually perform.
[26:42]
as you can see from the
[26:44]
timelines listed, each phase can
[26:46]
move quicker or slower depending
[26:46]
on the project and the project's
[26:47]
circumstances
[26:50]
pe ed matters but door
[26:52]
durability matters more skipping
[26:54]
diligence might make a project
[26:55]
look faster at the beginning
[26:56]
and creates much greater cost
[26:57]
and exposure later.
[27:10]
I'll go over some of our our
[27:11]
projects that are active right
[27:11]
now
[27:16]
the AA Ball field project AE
[27:16]
moving toward financial close on
[27:18]
a high valuable mixed use
[27:22]
project 168 homes serving
[27:24]
households from 60 to100% of AMI
[27:26]
along with an early childhood
[27:28]
educator education center that
[27:29]
will serve the campus and its
[27:29]
surrounding community.
[27:32]
because of the rise of interest
[27:34]
rates and construction costs
[27:36]
since the inception of this
[27:38]
project four years ago. The
[27:38]
project has gone through many
[27:40]
iterations to go where we are
[27:40]
today.
[27:44]
The p3 unit's continuous
[27:44]
spending authority allowed us to
[27:46]
be a flexible partner for them
[27:48]
and help preserve a project with
[27:50]
significant housing workforce
[27:50]
and childcare benefits.
[27:54]
The immediate focus going
[27:56]
forward now is financial close
[27:56]
followed by groundbreaking
[27:58]
early next year
[28:08]
So arttline village project
[28:14]
Ortline village will turn 14.4
[28:16]
acres of underutilized state
[28:18]
property into approximately 195
[28:20]
homes including 120 affordable
[28:22]
rentals and75 for sale homes
[28:24]
plus a childcare center two in
[28:26]
home childcare spaces and artist
[28:27]
studios
[28:30]
thanks to the CDC approval
[28:32]
earlier this year we continue to
[28:32]
work diligently on moving
[28:33]
forward on this project.
[28:36]
the local zoning code repeal in
[28:38]
Lakewood earlier this year
[28:40]
did set back the timeline for
[28:42]
the project and that was outside
[28:43]
of our control but it did not
[28:44]
erase the project's value. We
[28:46]
adjusted the timeline retained
[28:48]
the team and continue working
[28:48]
toward agreements and
[28:49]
entitlements
[28:50]
this is exactly the kind of real
[28:52]
world risk a long term
[28:54]
development program must be
[28:56]
equipped to manage and really
[28:58]
shows the benefits of having a
[28:58]
committed partnership in
[28:59]
projects like these
[29:02]
we are currently starting the
[29:02]
community engagement project
[29:04]
process for the rezoning of the
[29:05]
parcels
[29:06]
madam vice chair
[29:10]
thank you Mr Chair. Mrurrick,
[29:12]
would you mind sharing a little
[29:16]
bit more about the the change
[29:16]
in the zone the repeal of the
[29:20]
zoning code in Lakewood and
[29:21]
why that impacted this project
[29:21]
just
[29:24]
just for fun
[29:24]
Mrurrick
[29:26]
sure
[29:28]
thank you Mr Chair. we had
[29:30]
worked with the city of Lakewood
[29:32]
as they were redesigning their
[29:34]
zoning code originally and they
[29:36]
had rezoned our parcels to
[29:37]
fit
[29:42]
this project. when the city
[29:44]
and the voters repealed the the
[29:44]
zoning the new zoning code that
[29:46]
they had implemented throughout
[29:46]
the city
[29:50]
we now have gone back to the
[29:52]
original zoning of the parcels
[29:53]
which was
[29:56]
MEs which Lakewood was actually
[29:58]
trying to get out of
[30:00]
completely of their zoning code
[30:00]
because it it it
[30:04]
it says that50% of office space
[30:05]
has to be on the property.
[30:08]
and that's just
[30:10]
in in today's time that they
[30:12]
don't feel that's a realistic
[30:14]
option for for their zoning
[30:16]
code. so now we we have to go
[30:18]
through the rezoning process
[30:20]
which is about an8 to12 w2 month
[30:21]
process
[30:30]
of
[30:38]
governor's mansion parking lot
[30:44]
This compact site shows how a
[30:46]
small state asset can produce
[30:46]
several benefits at once
[30:48]
The proposal adds approximately
[30:52]
67 mixed income rental homes
[30:54]
preserves 28 parking spaces for
[30:56]
mansion operations and directs
[30:58]
ground lease revenue to long
[30:59]
term mansion maintenance.
[31:02]
the strength of this proposal is
[31:04]
its alignment housing in central
[31:04]
Denver continued mansion
[31:06]
functionality and a permanent
[31:08]
revenue source for a historic
[31:09]
state asset.
[31:12]
we have had supportive
[31:14]
conversations with the local
[31:14]
neighborhood groups and city
[31:16]
councilwomen for this project
[31:18]
and the goal for for us will be
[31:20]
to come for approval for
[31:22]
before CDC in October
[31:26]
Madam vice chair thank you Mr
[31:29]
Chair. is this somewhat a
[31:29]
conceptual
[31:34]
picture of what it might look
[31:34]
like
[31:38]
thank you Mr Cha. Yes, this is a
[31:42]
conceptual idea of of the of the
[31:42]
design from Adamerger
[31:43]
development
[31:44]
thank you
[31:48]
have a quick question just
[31:50]
looking at the page that was
[31:52]
given to us and kind of a a
[31:54]
spreadsheet listing out kind of
[31:56]
the where where every project is
[31:58]
in the process and and whatnot
[32:00]
you know developer partner
[32:02]
procrude development agreement
[32:04]
executed site evaluation
[32:06]
feasibility etc and goes
[32:08]
throughout I guess I'm just
[32:10]
curious in there on these
[32:12]
projects was there any thought
[32:14]
about putting a column in there
[32:14]
about where it is in in regards
[32:15]
to approval by
[32:18]
the CDC or or in regards to kind
[32:19]
of state approval or or or
[32:24]
thank you senator Majolka
[32:26]
cameron Kennedy director of
[32:30]
state properties with DPA we we
[32:32]
have issues we have to manage
[32:34]
that are both interior and
[32:36]
exterior and the table you were
[32:37]
provided contemplates the
[32:40]
exterior issues the interior
[32:40]
issues include procurement Cdc
[32:44]
approval and other issues that
[32:44]
we have to address within the
[32:46]
state as we move forward through
[32:48]
these projects but we can
[32:50]
certainly put that together and
[32:50]
and have that to you
[32:51]
pretty quickly.
[32:54]
yeah I I I just speaking for
[32:56]
myself as a member of the
[32:56]
committee I think there would be
[32:58]
some value to it just to see
[32:59]
where where you all are
[33:00]
internally on the on the
[33:02]
projects as well. I this is
[33:04]
valuable as well obviously
[33:06]
but I think the internal
[33:06]
information is is just as
[33:07]
valuable so appreciate it you
[33:16]
Goldenan
[33:20]
goolden Range is the largest
[33:22]
housing initiative to date for
[33:24]
the p3 unit it's approximately
[33:26]
378 homes across rental and for
[33:28]
sale products serving households
[33:32]
from 30 to140% of AMI it creates
[33:34]
both affordable rental options
[33:34]
and attainable paths to
[33:36]
homeownership in a very
[33:36]
constrained market.
[33:38]
we have had productive
[33:40]
conversations with the city of
[33:42]
Goldenta and they have pledged
[33:42]
some of their private activity
[33:44]
bonds in support of the project
[33:45]
as we move forward
[33:48]
the scale makes golden ranges
[33:50]
especially compelling and also
[33:52]
makes careful phasing essential.
[33:54]
Weenga we are engaging on site
[33:56]
and community issues now so the
[33:56]
state can make informed
[33:58]
decisions before entering
[33:58]
binding long term agreements
[34:02]
this project is on track to
[34:04]
complete zoning in late 2027 and
[34:06]
hope to commence construction in
[34:08]
2028. from that point since some
[34:10]
phases of the project depend on
[34:12]
competitive funding rounds the
[34:14]
project completion timeline for
[34:15]
all phases is expected to be4
[34:15]
to7 years.
[34:19]
ma'am vice chair
[34:22]
I'll just insert a question
[34:26]
and doesn't matter like when
[34:28]
you know you address this in
[34:30]
your presentation but in these
[34:32]
residential properties where
[34:36]
there's a range of AMI units
[34:38]
that are going in. I'm curious
[34:40]
for each of the projects like
[34:42]
what percentage
[34:46]
of the units will be you know
[34:46]
the various AMI
[34:50]
you know elements in them just
[34:50]
to get
[34:54]
you know a sense of what it
[34:56]
might look like but it you know
[34:56]
it can happen at the end or
[34:57]
whenever.
[35:02]
unfortunately because of the way
[35:06]
the financing works it's hard to
[35:08]
nail that down upfront as we
[35:10]
get closer to CDC approval we'll
[35:12]
have a better understanding of
[35:16]
kind of the the project it
[35:16]
still won't be exact but we'll
[35:18]
have a better understanding of
[35:20]
buckets but we can we can try
[35:22]
to work on that for you that'd
[35:22]
be great thank you
[35:32]
Durango redevelopment project
[35:38]
Durango demonstrates the unit's
[35:38]
statewide reach and its ability
[35:39]
to build projects with local
[35:40]
governments
[35:42]
the current concept will create
[35:44]
more than 136 mixed income homes
[35:46]
serving households from 30
[35:46]
to120% of AMI.
[35:50]
the city and the pC unit have
[35:52]
entered it in the MU for this
[35:54]
project and coordinating on how
[35:55]
to best solve the community
[35:56]
needs while making this a
[35:58]
successful project for the p3
[36:00]
unit. The city has discussed the
[36:02]
potential of private activity
[36:04]
bonds and an urban renewal
[36:04]
district for this property as
[36:05]
well.
[36:08]
the next step for this project
[36:10]
is market competition. The goal
[36:12]
will be to release an RFQ late
[36:13]
this year early next and it will
[36:14]
help tell us how qualified teams
[36:16]
would best convert the public
[36:18]
concept into a financeable and
[36:18]
deliverable project.
[36:31]
Red rockck's TOD unsolicited
[36:31]
proposal
[36:36]
Red rockcks presents a different
[36:37]
kind of opportunity.
[36:40]
Mortensonvelopment proposed to
[36:41]
acquire prop privately owned
[36:41]
land
[36:44]
donated to the state and we
[36:45]
would grandly sit back
[36:50]
to them for 333 to400 workforce
[36:51]
rental homes near transit.
[36:54]
providevidentsourcesroup would
[36:56]
finance the project primarily
[36:58]
through bonds repaid from
[36:58]
project revenue rather than
[36:59]
state funding.
[37:02]
the housing part of this project
[37:04]
is obviously a large number of
[37:05]
units that would have a great
[37:06]
impact on workforce housing but
[37:08]
the potential long term
[37:09]
financial return is also
[37:09]
important.
[37:12]
after the bonds are repaid the
[37:14]
developers compensated and
[37:16]
project expenses are covered. on
[37:18]
that project revenue would would
[37:19]
return to the unused property
[37:20]
fund
[37:22]
if the project performs as
[37:24]
anticipated that revenue could
[37:25]
be a game changer for the
[37:25]
program.
[37:28]
it could give the unit a larger
[37:29]
budget to invest more
[37:30]
substantially in future projects
[37:32]
and the flexibility to take on
[37:33]
different types of public
[37:33]
priorities over time.
[37:38]
can I ask a quick question
[37:42]
Mrerrick? So the process is kind
[37:44]
of makes you a little dizzy to
[37:44]
think about that they buy it and
[37:46]
then give it and then lease it
[37:50]
back and whatnot and so that
[37:52]
aside I'm sure we can get in the
[37:52]
details in the future on this.
[37:54]
Would there is a proposal then
[37:56]
that that company Mortensen it
[37:58]
would only be their employees
[38:00]
that would be eligible to to
[38:02]
utilize these units or what how
[38:03]
would that how would that
[38:04]
operate?
[38:08]
no the the the whole
[38:09]
community any anyone would be
[38:10]
able to rent those units so
[38:14]
then that I guess that that
[38:16]
makes my question like that
[38:18]
makes that that first question
[38:20]
even bigger than I guess where
[38:22]
why why would why would a
[38:24]
company purchase property donate
[38:28]
it and then pay to lease it
[38:30]
back. I I don't understand
[38:30]
there's there's a couple of
[38:36]
reasons one is that the they
[38:36]
want to do workforce housing
[38:38]
they they want that's kind of
[38:42]
their their their social part of
[38:44]
their their company they want to
[38:46]
do this. The second reason is
[38:48]
providednsourcesroup
[38:50]
does these type of social
[38:52]
infrastructure projects across
[38:54]
the country. they've done
[38:56]
hospitals they've they've
[38:58]
done projects student housing
[38:59]
and they are
[39:02]
if it's state land they are able
[39:03]
to get tax exempt bonds
[39:08]
and that makes these projects
[39:10]
feasible for them to build
[39:12]
with a with the lower interest
[39:14]
rates and and that's kind of
[39:16]
where the the the ability to
[39:16]
do the project comes from
[39:22]
yeah and I'm I'm still confused
[39:22]
with Mortenson then be the
[39:24]
company that builds it would
[39:26]
that be part of the deal or they
[39:28]
would build the project so ok so
[39:28]
that now that's kind of coming
[39:30]
together so they purchased the
[39:34]
land donate it lease it back but
[39:36]
part of the deal is is they are
[39:38]
the they're the organis or the
[39:39]
company that would build the
[39:40]
units
[39:44]
thank you madam vice chairir.
[39:46]
thank you Mrir
[39:48]
but it's it's financed by
[39:48]
Providentsources Group.
[39:52]
and they're the nonprofit
[39:54]
Mortenson is not a nonprofit
[39:56]
nonprofit so they would they
[39:56]
would they would make some
[39:58]
profit off the project yeah of
[40:00]
course
[40:04]
but the state would own the land
[40:06]
and the state would receive
[40:06]
revenue as a lease
[40:10]
the state would have so the
[40:12]
state would have received the
[40:14]
revenue as a as a ground lease
[40:15]
until the
[40:18]
they would all net operating
[40:19]
income
[40:19]
and
[40:22]
after the not just the lease but
[40:23]
until the once the project's
[40:23]
stabilized
[40:28]
we would receive all net
[40:30]
operating income after debt is
[40:33]
paid and after operations are
[40:34]
are paid so in the 1st 10 years
[40:36]
we would receive around8.7
[40:40]
million dollars after you 30
[40:42]
about42 million and after you're
[40:43]
50 about 213 million.
[40:48]
and what would the is so it's
[40:52]
it's saying federal grants or or
[40:54]
you know it's talking about
[40:54]
federal dollars potentially
[40:56]
coming in will the state be
[40:58]
spending any money then or is
[40:58]
that just pure
[41:00]
yeah my kirk
[41:04]
no so the the property would pay
[41:06]
for it for itself the the
[41:08]
property would pay for all
[41:10]
operations and you would just
[41:11]
pay for the property
[41:14]
to manage it itself and so those
[41:14]
dollars are just pure
[41:18]
profit to the state or to the
[41:20]
program I assume it would stay
[41:20]
within the p3 program is that
[41:22]
correct? unused state property
[41:23]
fund
[41:24]
would be the idea
[41:24]
madam vice chair
[41:30]
and while adhering to the 80 to
[41:30]
100% AMI.
[41:31]
throughout
[41:35]
from now ti forever and
[41:36]
eventually the bonds were paid
[41:38]
off there would be
[41:42]
flexibility to to lower those
[41:44]
AMIs if if we decided to
[41:46]
because we were we wouldn't be
[41:48]
needing to pay off that that
[41:49]
service.
[41:52]
but but you but the state would
[41:54]
be responsible for maintenance
[41:56]
of the of the facility we would
[41:58]
not be maintenancing ourselves
[42:00]
but we would be responsible for
[42:04]
we would work with a a board
[42:06]
to hire a there's a do the the
[42:09]
the money it would take to to
[42:10]
maintain the property would be
[42:12]
the responsibility of more
[42:14]
coming out of those revenues
[42:16]
Mortenson is is right now
[42:22]
posingmison's company which is a
[42:23]
a maintenance company. OK.
[42:30]
Again kudos I think that's a
[42:31]
really interesting
[42:32]
project a man vice chair
[42:38]
I might have read it somewhere
[42:40]
but now I don't remember where's
[42:41]
the this location?
[42:44]
happening so this site is
[42:48]
located in Lakewood and it's
[42:48]
right near the Red rockcks
[42:49]
Community Collegeation.
[42:50]
got you
[42:57]
and we would like to return in
[43:00]
October with more details on
[43:02]
this project before we
[43:06]
spend any budget on it or
[43:08]
anything I wanted to really get
[43:08]
kind of bring it by you guys and
[43:11]
and and get your perspective
[43:12]
before we move forward.
[43:16]
there any other questions or
[43:17]
comments on this?
[43:22]
No I think it's yeah, I'm I'm
[43:24]
excited to get more information
[43:24]
on it it seems seems exciting so
[43:26]
thank you
[43:36]
I will now pass it over to Lou
[43:38]
Lou Cordova'm here
[43:42]
Cordova Hi everyone
[43:44]
Hi everyone it's good to see you
[43:46]
again.
[43:50]
we have taken a bipartisan
[43:52]
approach to the new development
[43:54]
contract we're still building a
[43:56]
global energy park but with a
[43:58]
security focus so we believe
[44:00]
that energy and grid security is
[44:02]
critically important and
[44:02]
Colorado has a chance to
[44:04]
leverage our labs and
[44:06]
universities and take a leading
[44:08]
role in this type of research
[44:10]
and commercialization of
[44:12]
innovative technology. So the
[44:14]
first phase will be about 60,000
[44:16]
square feet now 20,000 of that
[44:18]
will be at the highest level of
[44:20]
security it's called a skiff
[44:22]
which is a sensitive
[44:24]
compartmented information
[44:27]
facility and the other40k will
[44:28]
surround that most secure part
[44:32]
with various levels of security
[44:34]
additional phases are
[44:36]
expected in future years based
[44:39]
on demand and we're we're happy
[44:42]
with this sort of much more
[44:44]
focused approach on energy
[44:46]
security we think it gives
[44:46]
the local county
[44:48]
a chance to absorb this first
[44:50]
phase in terms of track traffic
[44:52]
and economic stimulus
[44:56]
and in 2026 we are working on
[44:58]
tenant recruitment now the
[44:59]
contract has been signed with
[44:59]
Kapla
[45:04]
uhvelopment and ryan struction
[45:06]
that has built these kinds of
[45:06]
secure facilities before
[45:10]
and we will be moving to the
[45:12]
location and extent process with
[45:14]
Jefferson County shortly and
[45:16]
that will involve continued
[45:17]
community engagement
[45:22]
that's it for now. Thank you
[45:22]
Missorova Does the committee
[45:23]
have any questions?
[45:28]
kirk
[45:36]
if you have any questions?
[45:36]
Perfect. thank you. does
[45:38]
committee have any questions on
[45:39]
this update?
[45:44]
had one more
[45:48]
so I know you gave kind of a
[45:52]
schedule or a amounts of time
[45:52]
that certain project you know
[45:54]
that projects take like general
[45:58]
you know and years of work to
[46:00]
get these projects done but
[46:02]
going back to the golden range
[46:04]
project where there are
[46:06]
numbers of different phases and
[46:07]
so
[46:11]
are are you anticipating like
[46:14]
one phase at a time is being
[46:16]
built or potentially multiple
[46:18]
phases are in different phases
[46:22]
of construction like ongoing at
[46:23]
the same time but staggered like
[46:26]
I'm just curious like how long
[46:28]
would you anticipate to build
[46:28]
out all these phases of
[46:32]
property you know residential
[46:34]
housing thank you Mr Chair.
[46:38]
yes there could be multiple
[46:40]
phases being built at at
[46:42]
once. it really depends on the
[46:44]
competitive funding rounds
[46:46]
and there's three separate
[46:48]
developers working on it so some
[46:50]
developers have two phases so
[46:52]
they may not build both phases
[46:54]
at once and then maybe one
[46:58]
after the other but we expect
[46:58]
from the time construction
[47:02]
begins in 2028 that we would
[47:04]
complete the final phase in
[47:05]
about4 to7
[47:07]
years depending on that
[47:07]
financing.
[47:10]
have one more weird question
[47:12]
thank you Mr Chair.
[47:16]
would any of this development
[47:20]
that the P3 is doing with you
[47:20]
know, developers who would be
[47:24]
actually constructing the the
[47:24]
projects
[47:28]
are any of them gonna be wrapped
[47:29]
up in metro district
[47:30]
form
[47:32]
kirk
[47:36]
thank you Mr chair at this time
[47:38]
there's there's not a plan to do
[47:42]
that we we we've not gone
[47:44]
that route yet and there's no
[47:46]
plan in place. I can't say
[47:46]
that that that won't happen for
[47:47]
any of them if
[47:50]
if we go to explore that for
[47:52]
some infrastructure costs but at
[47:53]
this time that is not the plan.
[47:56]
madam vice chair I would just
[47:57]
say that that would be
[48:02]
a huge problem on these projects
[48:04]
especially when we're looking at
[48:06]
the AMI ranges that we're
[48:08]
looking at, especially the ones
[48:10]
that are 100% or lower
[48:14]
it would be mort defying and
[48:16]
devastating to the property
[48:16]
owners
[48:20]
to the point where they likely
[48:22]
wouldn't be able to stay there
[48:22]
long term
[48:24]
it would be
[48:28]
it would be a really poor life
[48:28]
choice for us to move in that
[48:29]
direction.
[48:30]
just saying
[48:32]
good to know
[48:38]
so no further questions just
[48:40]
really wanna give credit to you
[48:42]
all I think that these updates
[48:44]
are valuable and so kind of
[48:44]
keeping this line of
[48:46]
communication open with this
[48:48]
committee a lot of credit to
[48:50]
you and I think that helps as we
[48:52]
get into session when things
[48:54]
start getting busy that we're
[48:54]
getting these updates
[48:56]
periodically so that you know we
[48:58]
know where the projects are and
[49:00]
whatnot and I just think that
[49:02]
helps out with the process a lot
[49:02]
and so really appreciate you
[49:04]
coming before us today and this
[49:05]
information it seems like you
[49:06]
got a couple
[49:08]
pretty exciting projects on the
[49:10]
horizon and I know I'm
[49:10]
excited to to hear more about
[49:12]
him but more importantly I
[49:14]
think just for the work that
[49:16]
we're doing as as a committee
[49:16]
I appreciate you coming before
[49:18]
us like this and and keeping
[49:20]
this line of communication open
[49:21]
so thank you.
[49:23]
thank you thank you thank you
[49:26]
Mrir and I just tack on similar
[49:28]
comments I really appreciate the
[49:30]
depth of detail that you're
[49:34]
getting into and of course
[49:36]
it's it's still sort of overview
[49:40]
but it's enough to help us
[49:40]
understand where projects are
[49:42]
going and how they're developing
[49:43]
and it's certainly
[49:48]
more helpful than where we have
[49:49]
been with previous projects
[49:49]
where
[49:53]
there were so many questions and
[49:54]
I think in many cases we didn't
[49:56]
know enough to even know what
[49:58]
questions to ask but I
[50:00]
appreciate the the level of
[50:02]
detail that you're sharing it's
[50:03]
super helpful
[50:08]
thank you thank you thank you
[50:10]
