PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
On January 27, 1969, by Ordinance No. 3240, City Council established the Pueblo
Regional District Library and approved an intergovernmental agreement for the operation
of the same. On January 23, 1978, by Resolution No. 4123, City Council recognized
and ratified the joint creation of the Pueblo Regional Library District by the City of Pueblo
and Pueblo County nunc pro tunc January 1, 1969 by joint Resolution dated July 15,

The Pueblo City-
and Pueblo County on or about July 15, 1968. Originally, the City and County provided
all buildings, equipment, and library materials for PPCLD and funded its
operation. Through mill levies, PPCLD generated sufficient income to become self-
sustaining. Over time, the City transferred ownership of all real and personal property
used to provide library services to PCCLD. PCCLD operates pursuant to Colorado
statute, C.R.S. §24-90-101 et seq. While the City no longer financially subsidizes
Board of Trustees. The City and County make up the selection committee that
nominates members of the public to vacant seats on the Board of Trustees. Pursuant
to statute, the appointees to the library board of trustees are appointed by the mayor with
the consent of the legislative body. See C.R.S. §24-90-108(2)(a). The attached
intergovernmental agreement sets forth the process by which Trustees have been, and
will continue to be nominated, appointed and removed.

None.

Not applicable to this Ordinance.
