Serve Longmont on an Advisory Board
Serving on a City of Longmont advisory board is one way to give back to your community. Residents are invited to serve as official advisors to the Longmont City Council on any of several boards and commissions. The committees advise City Council on a variety of issues that affect the safety, economy and quality of life of Longmont’s residents and businesses. Board members generally spend a few hours each month preparing for and attending meetings. To apply, you must have been a registered voter of Longmont and resided inside Longmont city limits for at least one year prior to being appointed. Visit LongmontColorado.gov/board-application for more information. The application deadline is 5 pm on Friday, May 8. Call 303-651-8649 with questions. 

Complete Your Census Now
A complete count of all Longmont residents is vital to Longmont’s future. If we miss just 100 residents, Longmont could lose almost $1.5 million dollars in federal funding over the next decade. The census count also determines our representation in Congress, and Colorado is expected to gain one seat – if everyone is counted. You can complete your census online, over the phone, or by mail. Your responses are protected by law, and confidentiality is guaranteed. Don’t wait. Visit 2020census.gov or call 844-330-2020. Be sure that everyone counts in Longmont!
