Espanola Subdivision was started in 1924, by the Great Western Sugar Company (platted in 1929) as a colony for its Hispanic laborers, commonly referred to today as the Spanish Colony. This County subdivision lies on the cusp of Greeley, which provides water, sewer, and fire services, but no other urban amenities. Weld County's assistance in this effort was to concrete pave all the roads with inverted crowns in order to allow water to flow to the new drainage improvements. This project was a collaborative effort with the Weld County Housing Authority; they assisted with funding for sewer improvements. The residents of the Spanish Colony were extremely patient and helpful, while the improvements were being made. The next phase of the project will be for the Housing Authority and the Health Department to work together on connecting the homes which are currently on septic to the new sewer main stubs. Public Works bid out the project in January 2014, and received one bid from Duran Excavating. They began construction on March 31, 2014, for a 45-calendar-day project schedule. The improvements were completed in May. The final reimbursement request has been submitted and approved by DOLA. Final payment can be released after receipt of the Final Completion Report (attached). This project was completed within the CDBG deadline of July 31, 2014. Staff recommends authorization of signature on the CDBG Final Completion Report (FCR) for Espanola Subdivision Improvements. 2014-2260 EXHIBIT IX-C, Cont.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION (as stated in Paragraph A in Scope of Services outlining Proposed Accomplishments): In 2012, Weld County received a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for road and drainage improvements in Espanola Subdivision(southwest corner of 25th Avenue&O Street). Espanola Subdivision was started in 1924 by Great Western Sugar Company (platted in 1929) as a colony for its Hispanic laborers, commonly referred to today as Spanish Colony. This county subdivision lies on the cusp of Greeley, which provides water,sewer,and fire services,but no other urban amenities. Weld County's assistance in this effort was to concrete pave all the roads with inverted crowns in order to allow water to flow to the new drainage improvements. This project was a collaborate effort with the Weld County Housing Authority, they assisted with funding for sewer improvements. Some of the homes in the subdivision remain on septic systems and these improvements would give homeowners the opportunity to connect to the City of Greeley services. Public Works bid out the project in January and received one bid from Duran Excavating. They began construction on March 31, 2014 for a 45 calendar day project schedule. The improvements were completed in May. The residents of Spanish Colony were extremely patient and helpful, while the improvements were being made. The CDBG deadline for this contract was July 31,2014. This project was completed within the contract deadline. B) ACTUAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS: (Describe) Even with all the different entities participating in the project,it was completed within a 45 calendar day contract. It is a huge accomplishment to complete sewer,drainage,and road improvements in accordance with the design plans in this short time period. Weld County conducted a low-moderate income survey in order to receive the CDBG funding,and the HUD- provided tabulation sheet identified 89%.6 of the households. This project met the purpose and intent of the CDBG HUD requirements . C) REMAINING ACTIONS: Are there any remaining actions? If yes, please explain what remains to be done and supply the anticipated date of completion? There are no remaining actions needed for CDBG project 12-519.

Weld County contributed a local match of $470, 188. Espanola Subdivision was started in 1924 by the Great Western Sugar Company (platted in 1929) as a colony for its Hispanic laborers, commonly referred to today as Spanish Colony. This county subdivision lies on the cusp of Greeley, which provides water, sewer, and fire services. Some of the homes in the subdivision remain on septic systems. As part of the improvement project, the Weld County Housing Authority provided funding on behalf of the Colorado Division of Housing to include a new sewer main, manholes and sewer cap stubs, allowing residents to connect to sewer services. Now that the improvements are completed, the Weld County Housing Authority, Division of Housing and Health Department will work with residents to complete those hook ups. "We saw a need for these improvements in Espanola Subdivision and decided to do something about it," said County Commissioner Bill Garcia. "These improvements were necessary to improve the lives of our residents." The project was a result of issues Weld County Public Works Department experienced in maintaining the roads in the neighborhood for a number of years; the project was an economical solution to the problem of road maintenance and drainage issues. "The residents of Espanola Subdivision were extremely patient and helpful while the improvements were being made. We've received nothing but positive feedback from the community," said Public Works Director Joy McDonald. "Public Works appreciates everyone's help to make this project a reality." # # # Leading with responsive, innovative and cost effective services. Weld County - Proud to be Debt Free since 2007!
