Resolution on Proposition HH
During its regularly scheduled board meeting in September, the Pikes Peak Library District (PPLD) Board of Trustees voted to oppose Proposition HH and encouraged voters to vote “No” on Proposition HH.
As Proposition HH is projected to reduce revenue to PPLD by a significant amount, this would have a detrimental impact on patrons across the District. The PPLD Board of Trustees recognizes that this ballot initiative will ultimately result in an income tax increase for citizens across the state, while reducing the amount of funding to special districts, such as libraries, throughout Colorado. While PPLD’s Board of Trustees is sympathetic to rising property taxes, Proposition HH exacerbates the issue rather than resolves it.
Pikes Peak Library District is proud to serve this community and desires to continue providing exceptional services to all citizens.

The Library is governed by the Pikes Peak Library District Board of Trustees, consisting of seven members, who are appointed by a committee of members from the Colorado Springs City Council and the El Paso County Board of County Commissioners.
