Dolores County commissioners appoint three to public library board

The Dolores County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously Sept. 10 to appoint Christie Copas, Mary Davis and Doug Funk to the Dolores County Public Library board at a short special meeting.

The appointments followed a letter read into the record reporting that three vacancies were created by recent resignations and that the library board interviewed the three candidates. The chair said the library board "feels that their interest in the library will make them an asset to the board." The commissioners approved the appointments by voice vote.

Christie Copas was identified in the transcript as a dentist who lives in Rico. Mary Davis was described as a retired schoolteacher. Doug Funk was described in the transcript as a retired individual. The transcript contains unclear or garbled references to the exact residences and recent moves for some candidates; those details were not specified clearly enough to report with certainty.
