City wants to offset municipal code enforcement costs

The relationship between the city of Durango and La Plata County has languished under a pile of unsigned, redlined contracts.

In response to what city officials say is the county’s failure to negotiate a contract allowing the city to use the county jail in a timely manner, the city has struck up a more aggressive posture toward the county regarding the use of the Durango Emergency Communications Center. The two governments have long sought, but still don’t have, a formal contract laying out the financial obligations of the county for 911 dispatch services.
