Proposition 101

June 23, 2010
To: All Library Employees
From: Jon Walker, Executive Director
Subject: Planning for 2011

This year is turning out to be different at the library.

What I mean by this has nothing to do with how much our libraries are being used. Libraries are busier than ever. Our libraries are bustling places. I could not be prouder of a group of employees than I am of each of you who work conscientiously each day to deliver excellent library service.

RIDGWAY – The Ouray County Commissioners reviewed three ballot questions on the Nov. 2 ballot this week and saw what they characterized as a "drastic" change in the county should any or all of the issues should pass.

Local government would, in effect, be largely defunded.

County Administrator Connie Hunt, who will begin drafting the 2011 Ouray County budget next month, has been crunching numbers, reporting her findings to the commissioners at a meeting Monday in Ridgway.
