On April 13, 2015 City Council discussed the matching grant to support the administrative expenses associated with the Arapahoe County Enterprise Zone. This is a continuation of an annual grant award. RECOMMENDED ACTION Staff recommends that City Council approve a Bill for Ordinance accepting a 2015 grant from Colorado's Office of Economic Development and International Trade (OEDIT) in the amount of $16,500. This grant will be used to fund administrative activities for the Arapahoe County Enterprise Zone. BACKGROUND, ANALYSIS, AND ALTERNATIVES IDENTIFIED Englewood has administered the Arapahoe County Enterprise Zone, which includes portions of Englewood, Littleton and Sheridan, since its inception in 1990. Administration of the Enterprise Zone involves annual reporting and ongoing approvals of submissions, data input, marketing and outreach associated with the Enterprise Zone. Each year the City of Englewood receives a matching grant from the Office of Economic Development and International Trade towards administrative expenses related to the Enterprise Zone. The Enterprise Zone is a critical element of our Economic Development program. Each year approximately 100 Englewood businesses claim valuable State of Colorado tax credits. FINANCIAL IMPACT The grant requires that the City provide matching funds. These funds are included in the Community Development departmental budget and are in the form of in-kind contribution of staff time, overhead, and marketing materials.
