In 2001, the Longmont Community Involvement Manual was originally developed to encourage and welcome community members to be involved in all aspects of city government. Staff has worked on platforms such as Engage Longmont, community involvement training for staff and other elements to integrate this approach.
City staff has updated the manual to integrate current best practices, including integrating race equity tools into community involvement and completed employee training of project managers and engineers. The next steps include adding Community Engagement in the checklists for Project Managers, as a new Project Management Office (PMO) continues its work in 2025. Training has been offered and will be offered again in 2025 on the basics of Community Engagement to all staff.
Working on final edits of the progress will use the equity check list from the community engagement training. This work has been sent to the Project Management Office.
