Welcome to the City of Longmont's weekly e-News update.
City Offices Closed for Holiday
These Longmont City facilities will be closed on Friday, December 31, for the New Year holiday: Civic Center, Development Services Center, Library, Senior Center, Museum, Youth Center, Memorial Building, Service Center and Tree Limb Diversion Center. The Recreation Center will be open from 5 am to 3 pm, Centennial Pool will be open from 5:30 am to 3:30 pm, and the Ice Pavilion at Roosevelt Park will be open from 10 am to 3 pm. The Ice Pavilion also will be open on Saturday, January 1, from noon to 5 pm. All other City facilities will be closed January 1. Regular trash and recycling service will not be affected.
Recycle Your Christmas Tree
Recycle your Christmas tree at these locations through Wednesday, January 5:
Roosevelt Park at the north parking lot on 8th Avenue; Garden Acres Park, west side of parking lot off 18th Avenue; Kanemoto Park parking lot on S. Pratt Parkway; and Centennial Park in the parking lot off Alpine Street. The Tree Limb Diversion Center at 140 Martin Street accepts trees and limbs year round. Trees are ground to mulch so it is very important that all decorations, lights and bags are removed prior to disposal.
Last Week to Recycle Holiday Lights
There are three locations in Longmont where you can take your old holiday lights through Monday, January 10, to be recycled: Longmont Recycling Center at 140 Martin Street, Longmont Service Center at 1100 South Sherman Street, and the Longmont Public Works Facility at 375 Airport Road. Please bundle or tie the strands and place them in the designated bins located outside these facilities. Bins at all locations are available 24 hours a day. For more information call 303-651-8416 or visit www.ci.longmont.co.us/solidwaste.
Help Your Neighbors COPE
Longmont’s C.O.P.E. (Citizen’s Option to Provide Energy) Program helps area residents pay past due utility bills when all other resources are exhausted. Utility customers donate to the program with either a one-time payment or a monthly contribution added to their utility bill. No administrative funds come from donations, and 100 percent of contributions go to utility bill payments. C.O.P.E. is a cooperative agreement between the City and the OUR Center, and customers requesting assistance are screened to ensure that their need is critical. Customers who pay their utility bill online can contribute at any time. Others can sign up with the form that is included with the February utility bill.
January 4 City Council Meeting Cancelled
The January 4 City Council meeting has been cancelled. The January 11 meeting will be a regular session, and the January 18 meeting is an open forum. For information call the City Clerk’s Office at 303-651-8649 or visit www.ci.longmont.co.us/city_council.
