This agenda item amends an Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) with the Colorado Office of Economic Development and International Trade. The amendment reduces the total grant capacity by $262,082.84, bringing the new total to $1,276,510.16. Additionally, the period of performance is extended by six months, with a new end date of 10-31-2026. The original grant, totaling $1,538,593.00, was awarded to Denver Economic Development & Opportunity's Workforce Development Division in partnership with Denver Climate Action, Sustainability and Resiliency (CASR) to enhance electric vehicle maintenance technician training. Funds are distributed to Red Rocks Community College, Pickens Technical College, and Ohm on the Range to expand automotive training classes focused on electric vehicles, with a goal of training 282 students over the next two school years.

This amendment adjusts funding and timelines for a program that enhances electric vehicle maintenance training, potentially impacting the availability of skilled technicians and the development of green jobs.
