Beginning July 1, 2016, the fees for Colorado driver licenses and several related services will change.

These changes were authorized in HB16-1415 and are intended to help offset the cost of providing Division of Motor Vehicles services.

The fee for a driver license for U.S. citizens and individuals able to demonstrate permanent or temporary lawful presence in the U.S. will increase by $1 to $26.  The fee for a driver license under SB-251 (Colorado Road and Community Safety Act) will not change, because the cost for providing this service is already fully recouped.

The Regular meeting of the Kiowa County Commissioners was called to order on May 26, 2016; at 9:10 a.m. by Chairman Richard Scott. Scott opened the meeting with prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance. Those present were:

Richard Scott, Chairman of the Board

Cindy McLoud, Commissioner

Donald Oswald, Commissioner

Delisa Weeks, County Clerk

Tina Adamson, County Administrator

Oswald moved and McLoud seconded the motion to accept the minutes as presented. All Commissioners voted Affirmative.

ELECTION INFORMATION:  Ballots for the June 28, 2016 Primary Election will be mailed next week June 6 - June 10, 2016.  The Primary Election will be conducted as an all Mail Ballot Election.  This means there will be no voting at precincts on Election Day June 28, 2016.  The only Voter Service and Polling Center will be the Kiowa County Clerk & Recorder's Office 1305 Goff Street in Eads, Colorado. 

Ballots must be received by election officials by June 28 to count

Continuing its commitment as a partner in Colorado's election process, the U.S. Postal Service is alerting all registered voters in Colorado to watch their mailboxes for 2016 Primary Election ballots.

"The Postal Service is proud to be a part of the vote-by-mail process in Colorado," said USPS Colorado/Wyoming District Manager Selwyn Epperson. "Voters consistently entrust their ballots to the mail and our employees are ready to deliver another successful election season."
