Dolores County commissioners appoint Nolan Henkins to library board, approve routine business
Summary
The Dolores County Board of County Commissioners unanimously appointed Nolan Henkins to the Dolores County Public Library Board to fill the seat left by the late Caroline McCustin and approved routine items including expenditures and minutes.
The Dolores County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday to appoint Nolan Henkins to the Dolores County Public Library Board and approved routine business, including expenditures and meeting minutes.
The board received a letter from Mara Allen, the bookkeeper for the Dolores County Public Library Board, saying the library’s board had voted to fill a vacancy created by the passing of longtime member Caroline McCustin and recommended Nolan Henkins as the appointee. Commissioners discussed Henkins’ involvement with the county fair and his stated interest in supporting literature and reading in the community.
Commissioner Element made the motion to appoint Henkins; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board also voted to adopt the meeting agenda as amended (removing the Southwest Health Systems ambulance authorization item), approve expenditures and approve minutes for the March 2, 2026 regular meeting and the March 10, 2026 expenditure meeting—all by voice vote.
No public objections to the appointment or the routine approvals were recorded in the transcript. The library board’s letter recommending Henkins and the board’s appointment conclude the item; Henkins will serve in the vacancy the library board flagged when it notified the commissioners.
