The board members probably will make a <br />Guidebook <br />funding recommendation to the full board of directors, <br />Spring Runoff <br />which will meet May 25 in Denver, Aangeenbrug said. <br />Pueblo Zoo <br />FOCUS ON YOUTH: <br />She also took Wednesday's tour, and said, "I can't speak <br />for the board, but generally the group was impressed with <br />Headbone Zone <br />what Pueblo has tried to put together through the <br />Images <br />integration of trails and wildlife and habitat restoration." <br />Classroom Chieftain <br />School District 60 <br />One concern is that $4 million in Army Corps of Engineers <br />School District 70 <br />funding, which would pay for the river fisheries restoration <br />Pueblo Library District <br />and which is essential to the project, won't be available until <br />fall 2001 at the earliest. <br />"What the board will have to weigh," Aangeenbrug said, "is <br />there are projects that can start spending significant <br />amounts of money now, and Pueblo needs to wait for a <br />federal appropriation that won't occur until October or <br />November of 2001. <br />"It will need to decide whether to provide dollars now, <br />whether to make a commitment now, how best to help this <br />project." <br />If the board is inclined to fund the Arkansas River Corridor <br />project but wants to wait, she said the GOCo staff would <br />recommend that Pueblo not be required to submit an <br />entirely new application for funding. <br />"The irony," said Pueblo city planner Scott Hobson, "is <br />GOCo wants projects to be as integrated as possible. We <br />want to have everything tied together, but the Corps is the <br />main funder and not to have a guarantee from the Corps <br />makes it hard. <br />"It all depends on federal appropriation, but we are working <br />with Sen. (Ben Nighthorse) Campbell and Rep. (Scott) <br />McInnis and their local staffs to sponsor legislation that <br />would prioritize it for 206 (fisheries restoration) funding, so <br />we don't have another project out of the Albuquerque <br />district that would get the (Corps) funding first." <br />Hobson said there aren't many such projects in the works, <br />but there is a restoration project in Alamosa, along the Rio <br />Grande, that is a month or two ahead of Pueblo's. <br />E -mail this story to a friend <br />f 3 5/5100 4:11 PM <br />
