30 years ago – February 10, 1989
Randy Lara of Gilpin County was appointed to fill the vacant seat on the Gilpin County RE-1 Board of Education. The appointment was made during the board’s February 7 policy meeting, and Lara was sworn in immediately.After taking his oath of office, Law joined the board at the table and participated in his first meeting right away. Two applications were submitted to the board for the position that became vacant when Ralph Johnson resigned due to a job conflict. The other candidate for the seat, Terry Houk, was thanked for his interest in the district and urged to continue his participation in school related matters. The motion to appoint Lara was made by Board Member Forrest Anderson. Board Member Patricia Dunn cast the single dissenting vote.
“It’s amazing how many residents in Gilpin County want ZK license plates,” remakes Gilpin County Clerk and Recorder Judy Dornbrock. “I want people to know that they are once again available, if only in a manner of speaking.” Although somewhat different than the original white on green license plates, the new designer plates have the imprint ZK prefix which is in demand by local residents. The new “chic” designer license plates are blue on white. The original Z prefix is now a three space combination of Z1K followed by three numbers. An added addition on the new plates is the name “Gilpin” which appears under the license number. The new item is already a fast selling item, said Dornbrock, and people who are interested in the new plates should hurry. The series available for purchase ranges from Z1K-001 through Z1K-999 for passenger vehicles. Although license plates continue to be available for trucks, they do not include the ZK prefix. The cost for the new series is $25.00 each year plus the standard license plate charge. Dornbrock explained, adding that credit will be given on the current license fee when a customer’s old plate is renewed. Designer plates are available for purchase in the Clerk & Recorder’s office at the Gilpin County Courthouse. The new plates can also be purchased for antique cars, National Guard members, and holders of the Purple Heart medal. For further information on any of the specialized license plates, call the Clerk & Recorder’s office.
