Under New Business Ms. Davis reported that Kathleen Allin, Assistant City
Attorney, had informed her that no formal appeals process existed to City
Council for reconsideration of a title. Ms. Allin does not see creation
of a formal process as necessary because a citizen can approach Council
during the Citizen Participation section of any scheduled meeting.

Trustee's Workshop sponsored by the Colorado State Library.
P1s. Davis reported that public librarians in Larimer County were working
with Lyn Boyer, Human Services Director for the County, to develop a unified
