6.8.1.030 Findings

The Council hereby finds and declares that:

(a) For decades, the Pueblo has faced several complex, large-scale, and historical legal settlements and related projects involving natural resources, land, roads, and water; and

(b) The government administration of the Pueblo has lacked adequate staffing and financial resources to manage these complex matters in-house, and has been forced to seek assistance from outside consultants, attorneys, experts, and managers for a wide variety of matters; and

(c) The Council has determined that it is in the best interests of the Pueblo to establish a Department of Project Management to begin to develop permanent, in-house, institutional knowledge and capacity to oversee these complex matters, particularly the recent roads settlement and related projects, and the pending Aamodt water settlement and related construction projects.
