Summary
Board members and staff discussed renewing an intergovernmental agreement with Pueblo School District 60 that determines which district holds the voting seat on the Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority; staff said the renewal is time-sensitive because an upcoming PURA vote could hinge on the district's voting representative.
The Pueblo County School District 70 Board of Education discussed renewing an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) with Pueblo School District 60 that determines which district holds the voting seat on the Pueblo Urban Renewal Authority (PURA).
District staff described the current practice as an annual rotation of the voting partner between the two districts. Mrs. Ryan, a district staff member, said the districts "rotate back and forth as to who is the voting partner for PURA," and staff were updating the IGA to reflect that schedule.
Board members said the renewal is time-sensitive because PURA may soon consider a matter involving the Da Vinci Museum; one board member said the district’s earlier vote on a related item was rendered ineffective when the IGA had lapsed. Board members indicated they intended to move forward quickly so the district could have an eligible voting representative available if a close roll call is needed at PURA.
No formal motion or roll-call vote on the IGA renewal appears in the transcript; the discussion closed with board members expressing readiness to proceed. The board returned to other business after confirming it would prioritize updating the IGA and identifying which district member would cast the PURA vote this year.
The district did not specify a final timetable for executing the updated IGA in the portions of the transcript tied to this discussion.
