Good morning, Durango.

The City of Durango has released its schedule for Memorial Day on Monday, May 26, 2025, which will include the third annual City Scavenger Hunt, council discussions on a possible property tax increase with the fire district, and reminders to save water this summer — additional meetings and projects are planned for later dates.

County officials warned residents in La Plata County face a values decision — a choice between raising taxes or lowering services — as a 46% drop in property tax revenue has led to a $55 million loss.

Outgoing county manager Chuck Stevens will leave in June and Deputy Kevin Hall will serve as interim manager while the county works to cover a $36.5 million budget gap.
