1. Incorporation of Recitals. The Recitals set forth above are hereby incorporated into
the terms of this Agreement.
2. Representations and Warranties of Grantee.
a. Grantee is a Municipality, duly organized in accordance with the laws of Colorado and

b. Grantee’s governing body has authorized entering into this Agreement as evidenced by
the resolution included in the Project Application.
c. Grantee warrants that it has good and sufficient title to the property or properties on

evidence of its ownership of the Property and encumbrances against the Property satisfactory to
GOCO in GOCO’s discretion prior to funding..
3. Grant and Project. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Board hereby awards to Grantee a sum not to exceed $350,000.00 (the “Grant”). The Grant
shall be used by Grantee solely to complete the Project, in substantial conformity with the final
plans, specifications, designs and uses approved by the Board.
4. Project Scope. Grantee shall not materially modify the Project or the Project budget
(included in the Project Application) without the prior written approval of the Executive
Director of GOCO (“Executive Director”) or the Executive Director’s designee, such approval
to be in GOCO’s sole discretion. Any material modification to the Project undertaken without
GOCO’s prior written consent may be deemed a breach of this Agreement by GOCO, entitling
GOCO to all remedies available under this Agreement. If Grantee determines with reasonable
probability that the Project will not or cannot be completed as reflected in the Project
Application, Grantee will promptly so advise the Board, and cooperate in good faith to seek a
resolution before any further funds are advanced.

Grant in the event the Completion Date is not met and/or Grantee fails to comply with the
Overdue Grants procedure.
7. Matching Funds. Grantee shall obtain the matching cash and in-kind contributions for
the Project as reflected in the Budget and as required by GOCO policy, or the status of efforts to

8. Disbursement of Funds.
a. Progress Payment: Grantee may opt to receive a portion of the Grant funds after starting
but prior to completing work on the Project (a “Progress Payment”). Grantee shall provide
GOCO with a progress report detailing expenditures and progress made to date (“Progress
Report”). The Progress Report must be submitted using GOCO’s Progress Report form
(available at www.goco.org or by contacting GOCO). GOCO may, in its discretion, request
additional documentation to support making a Progress Payment. A Progress Payment shall not
exceed GOCO’s percentage of expected overall costs (as determined by the GOCO-approved
budget) applied to the value of documented eligible expenses or 50% of the Grant, whichever is
less. A Progress Payment shall be considered a loan until the Project is complete and Final
Payment (as defined below) has been made.
b. Final Payment: Grantee shall submit a final report to GOCO detailing the
accomplishments of and expenditures related to the Project and its completion (the “Final
Report”). The Project is “complete” when all facilities, trails or other improvements included in
the Project have been built and are ready for their intended use. The Final Report must be
submitted using GOCO’s Final Report form (available at www.goco.org or by contacting
GOCO). GOCO may, in its discretion, request additional documentation before its approval of
the contents of the Final Report. Upon GOCO’s review and approval of the Final Report, GOCO
shall pay the outstanding balance on the Grant (the “Final Payment”), subject to any reductions
contemplated by any provision of this Agreement.
9. Conditions for Disbursement of Funds. Except as provided in Paragraph 10 below,
the Grant is subject to the following requirements and conditions.
a. The Grant and all matching funds shall be used only for the cost of fixed assets, including
construction of new facilities, and enlargement or renovation of existing facilities. The Grant
and all matching funds may not be used to pay for maintenance costs, administrative costs (such
as salaries associated with administering the Grant, office supplies, telephone, or travel
expenses), non-fixed assets (such as athletic or maintenance equipment), or any other costs
deemed to be ineligible by the Board, at the Board’s sole discretion.
b. Disbursement of Grant funds shall be made on the basis of costs actually incurred by
Grantee and supported by written documentation (receipts, bills, etc.). GOCO may, in its
discretion, depending on the nature of the Project, require documentation of mechanics lien
waivers or waivers of claims to public project performance bonds as a precondition to any
disbursement under this Agreement.

c. Except as otherwise agreed to in writing in advance by GOCO in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, no material modifications may be made to the Project. Material
modifications to the Project to which GOCO has not agreed may result in a reduction in the
Grant. “Material modifications” may include, but are not necessarily limited to, a reduction in
the total cost of the Project, a reduction in the size or number of recreational development
components to be constructed, changes to the nature of the recreational development components
to be constructed, or any other variance from the Project as presented in the Project Application.
It is the sole responsibility of Grantee to inform GOCO of any such modifications to the Project.
GOCO strongly encourages Grantee to contact GOCO in writing when it becomes aware of or
wishes to make any such modifications, however seemingly minor, to the Project.
10. Waiver. The Executive Director or the Executive Director’s designee may in such
person’s discretion, waive or agree to modify one or more of the obligations in sections 8, 9,
and 16 of the Agreement, or may permit performance of one or more of such obligations
subsequent to disbursement.
11. Payment of Grant Subject to Sufficient Net Lottery Proceeds. Payment of the Grant
is subject to GOCO’s determination in its sole discretion that it has received and has available
sufficient net lottery proceeds to fund the Grant. In determining the sufficiency of net lottery
proceeds, GOCO may consider all facts and circumstances as it deems necessary or desirable in
its discretion, including, but not limited to, adequate reserves, funding requirements and/or
commitments for other past, current and future grants, and past, current and future GOCO
operating expenses and budgetary needs.
12. Project Operation and Maintenance.
a. Subject to annual appropriations, Grantee shall operate, manage, and maintain the Project
in a reasonable state of repair for the purposes specified and for the useful life of the Project in
the Project Application, in accordance with product warranties and/or the generally accepted
standards in the parks/recreation community, and provide and maintain access to the Project and
to the Property, regardless of the Property’s ownership. The Grantee has estimated a useful life
of 20 years in the project application.

Funding Summary:
Project Description:
The City of Wheat Ridge is requesting funds for the Prospect Park Renovation project. Phase II includes
installing six new pickleball courts, enhancing the park entrance, adding a new fishing dock, replacing
the picnic pavilion, relocating the playground, adding two shelters and improving vehicle and pedestrian
circulation.
Staff and Peer Reviewer Comments:
The project presents a detailed scope designed to engage the whole community. The addition of these
recreational amenities will provide opportunities to people of all ages and abilities.
The last major improvements to this park occurred in 1997. The applicant did an excellent job detailing
the need to update the park, the deterioration condition of several elements in the park and user conflicts.
The addition of pickleball courts will expand programming opportunities and playing time for pickleball
players. Players are currently using indoor courts or traveling outside of the community to play.
The public process that has prioritized the project components is robust and inclusive. These
components respond directly to documented community demand.

Project Summary
Applicant: City of Wheat Ridge
Project Title: Prospect Park and Panorama Park Social-Distancing Amenities
County: Jefferson
Funding Summary:
Project Description:
The City of Wheat Ridge was awarded a $350,000 Local Park and Outdoor Recreation grant in March
2018 for the Prospect Park Renovation project. The project included installing six new pickleball courts,
enhancing the park entrance, adding a new fishing dock, replacing the picnic pavilion, relocating the
playground, adding two shelters, and improving vehicle and pedestrian circulation. The city has faced a
significant decrease in revenue since the start of the pandemic and has had to cut or delay components
of the Prospect Park project. The only component currently moving forward in 2020 is the picnic
pavilion, as the aging infrastructure was identified as a safety concern. The city is requesting $476,470
through the Resilient Communities program and staff is recommending $162,970 to complete the
fishing area component of the project. The fishing area was identified as a top priority, as it provides
safe, direct, and accessible outdoor recreation opportunities to users of all ages. The fishing area will
include a permanent dock, 15’ x 15’ shade shelter, two picnic tables, a bench, boulders for sitting while
fishing, trash and recycling receptacles, fencing, pathways, and related grading, erosion, and irrigation
work. The proposal also included a request for the replacement of tennis courts at Panorama Park that
is not being recommended for funding.
Reviewer Comments:
-Prospect Lake is the city’s largest park and provides the best opportunity to meet the communities
increased need for close-to-home, nature based, outdoor recreation.
-Additional support will allow Wheat Ridge to fulfill its original vision for the park that just recently
received a GOCO investment. And these amenities make sense for the current circumstances given
the limitations imposed on organized sports and the need for physical distancing.
-The proposal will also help alleviate the natural resource degradation that is occurring in the park
by formalizing access to the water via the fishing pier thereby discouraging the development of
social trails and bank erosion that is currently taking place at the site.
