📰 Despite receiving a unanimous vote from El Paso County Commissioners, Kenny Kuniyuki’s nomination to the Pikes Peak Library District Board was rejected 6-3 by the Colorado Springs City Council. The appointment process now returns to the joint committee as the months-long search for a new board member continues.

> You can watch the proceedings here.
> You can watch the City Council proceedings here. Start at 1:57.

Next step: The joint appointment committee will meet again, to offer up another nominee. We will inform you when this meeting will take place, as soon as we know, ourselves. Update: As Councilmember Nancy Henjum is out of town for three weeks, the process is paused for the moment. We are still hoping that the PPLD is successful in their pursuit of a PPLD library in our area, as they've stated this plan more than once.
