Fifty-one nonprofits and government entities applied for grants across three categories: general funding, the Department of Health and Human Services, and parks and open space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Anne Brown said she approached this year\u2019s process with caution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve always had a little bit of an uneasy feeling about it because I felt that some of the requests that we were fulfilling were pretty far outside of our mission and our job as a county,\u201d Brown said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added that while the general fund is in surplus for the coming budget year, other county funds are not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf we, thank you Jared, add up all of the positions of our twenty funds or so forth, we end up in the red $800,000,\u201d Brown said. \u201cAnd so that\u2019s a big number for us \u2014 for any organization to operate that kind of a deficit. I\u2019m prepared to take a little bit more of a critical look at some of these requests.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commissioner Lance Waring agreed, saying this year\u2019s budget is tight and requires careful prioritization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI agree this is a lean budget year and that we are going to have a hard time doing this,\u201d Waring said. \u201cI think that one of the parameters that&#8217;s really helped me think about it is to try to assess all the various requests in the light of what services are being offered that the county would otherwise have to provide, and with that kind of a baseline health, safety and welfare perspective.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The general and Health and Human Services grants are funded through the general fund, while the parks and open space requests are supported by a dedicated mill levy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Waring also raised the idea of setting a funding ceiling before discussing individual requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI was going to ask you two if we wanted to try to establish a ceiling before we began our line-by-line discussion, and just agree that a number, perhaps the number that&#8217;s been recommended by staff, was the appropriate ceiling, and that no matter what adjustments we made that we would not end up over that amount,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, commissioners agreed to evaluate the total at the end of the process. County Manager Mike Bordogna said the final figure \u2014 $132,650 \u2014 was in line with last year\u2019s grant awards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Skeleton Discovered in Ouray County Home<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>The Ouray County Coroner and Sheriff\u2019s Office were recently notified by a representative of an estate that a wired human skeleton was found in the garage of a deceased individual\u2019s home in Ouray County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The skeleton appears to be a medical display specimen. The coroner has arranged for an examination by a qualified public anthropologist at a public university, which is now pending. The examination will include an analysis of age, gender, ethnicity, and whether the skeleton is nonnative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Upon completion of the anthropological examination, the coroner will also request a DNA analysis for forensic purposes and logging. No active criminal charges are pending at this time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If non-native ethnicity is confirmed and the remains are unclaimed with no further forensic value, the coroner anticipates releasing the skeletal remains to the Colorado State Anatomical Board, in accordance with Colorado Revised Statute 24-80-1302.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Telluride Celebrates Halloween With Community Events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Telluride is getting into the Halloween spirit this year with a full slate of community activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Festivities begin tomorrow morning with a family-friendly spooky story walk hosted by the Wilkinson Public Library, Pinhead Institute, Bright Futures, and the Telluride Historical Museum.
