Community Involvement Process
The City of Longmont strives to provide excellent customer service to our
citizens and visitors in every way. Our satisfaction ratings consistently
remain equal or higher to those residents across the nation. However, the
City is often being asked to address increasingly more complex and difficult
community issues. In 2001, City Council discussed possible ways to incorporate
more community involvement in its service delivery the engages residents as
partners in facing complex community issues to create sustainable solutions.
The City has developed a framework that is called Community Involvement. The
best community involvement strategy fits an issue and the people concerned
about that issue. Different issues, different groups needs different levels
of involvement and different types of techniques. The manual outlines these
methods and when each method is most effective.
