GENERAL FUND BUDGET TO REFLECT THE APPROVAL OF
A SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET APPROPRIATION IN THE
AMOUNT OF $187,402 FOR THE PURPOSE OF PURCHASING
AND INSTALLING AN OUTDOOR FITNESS COURT
WHEREAS, the City received a $30,000 grant from the National Fitness Campaign
and Colorado Parks and Recreation Association for an outdoor fitness court; and
WHEREAS, the outdoor fitness court would provide an outdoor, free-of-charge
amenity for community members to exercise safely during the pandemic and beyond; and
WHEREAS, the City of Wheat Ridge received American Rescue Plan Act funds to
be used for the purpose of responding to the pandemic and its negative economic
impacts; and
WHEREAS, the Wheat Ridge Parks and Recreation Master Plan calls for a
balanced and equitable park and recreation system responsive to all age groups and user
groups; and

in a different geographic area in the City from other public fitness opportunities, is in an
area of Wheat Ridge with a higher population density and lower median income, and is
near various traffic routes; and
WHEREAS, the Wheat Ridge Charter requires that amendments to the budget be
effected by the City Council adopting a resolution.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Wheat Ridge City Council, that:
Section 1. A supplemental budget appropriation of $187,402 is hereby
approved to be transferred from General Fund undesignated reserves to account 01-610-
