Proof that the city and county still work together and collaborate on a lot of projects for the community: On Thursday, March 6, City Manager Jose Madrigal brought some baked yum yums to La Plata County employees before his regular monthly meeting with County Manager Chuck Stevens. The sweet turn of events was a thank you for their ongoing collaboration and work with the city, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with the food that should worry county employees in any way.
