Welcome to the City of Longmont's weekly e-News update.
City Council to Host Public Forum
The Longmont City Council invites the community to participate in an open forum with Council Members on Tuesday, January 12, 2010 at 7 p.m. in the City Council Chambers located at 350 Kimbark St. This is an opportunity for Longmont residents to engage in a positive, informal dialogue with members of the City Council about any current issues or future opportunities they see for Longmont. The “open forum” format differs from the typical City Council Meeting in that residents can not only offer their opinions, but can also ask questions and converse with Council Members. City Staff also will be on hand. For more information contact City Council Members at: www.ci.longmont.co.us/city_council/members/index.htm or the City Manager’s Office at 303-651-8601.
Pay Your Utility Bill Over the Phone
The City has just implemented a internal voice response option for you to pay your City utility bill with a credit/debit card by phone 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. You will need your account number - you can find this on your billing statement under your name in the blue box (remember the numbers before the dash are your customer number and the numbers after the dash are your premise number), your credit or debit card and any touch tone phone. A rotary dial phone will not work. Please dial 303-774-4370 option 4 for English. For Spanish dial 303-774-4370, option 4, then option 3.
Career Search Made Easier at Library
Job & Career Accelerator, a new job and career database at Longmont Public Library, is the most comprehensive and easy-to-use job search application on the market. It integrates everything a patron needs to conduct a successful job search. Interactive wizards guide patrons through each step of the search process in a personalized manner, from recommending occupations to fetching up-to-the-minute job postings that are based on each user's career preferences. In addition, users will have access to tools essential to getting hired such as the resume and cover letter builders, interview course and tips and expert advice to help make the job search more effective. This one stop product is available in the library, or available to any citizen with an internet connection and a valid library card and can be accessed at: www.ci.longmont.co.us/library/index.htm and then click on "Search Catalog."
