City Council Work Session - June 1, 2026

The City of Pueblo held a City Council Work Session on June 1, 2026, which included updates on city operations, budget discussions, and community engagement events such as town halls. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the review and proposed improvements to the SEESAC grant application and scoring process for 2027 funding. Council members and county commissioners discussed enhancing accountability, equitable distribution of funds, and reducing duplication of funding among nonprofits. They considered revisions to the scoring rubric to better differentiate applicants based on need, impact, program design, and sustainability. The conversation also addressed the challenges of balancing priorities across various service categories and the capacity of smaller nonprofits to meet application requirements. The council agreed to continue discussions in upcoming work sessions and planned to review the proposed changes before finalizing the 2027 grant process. Additionally, the meeting included updates on voluntary separation agreements with city staff aimed at budget savings and a motion to enter executive session for legal advice on development projects and litigation matters.
