Town Seeks Public Input on Budget Priorities

The Town's annual budget process is underway, starting with a strategic workshop in early September where the Board of Trustees discussed priorities and provided guidance to staff. This process involves balancing limited revenues with the costs of core services and addressing increasing demands for capital improvements.

To ensure community input, the Board has directed staff to distribute a brief survey to town residents. We invite you to share your feedback and budget priorities by completing the survey, which takes approximately 5-10 minutes.

Thank you for your participation.

Siren Upgrade Takes Place Throughout Boulder County

The outdoor emergency sirens warn community members about weather related emergencies, and depending on programming, hazardous materials and wildfires. Sirens are meant to reach and be heard by people that are outside, not indoors.
With the siren upgrade, it’s a good opportunity for community members to sign up for emergency alerts at: www.BoCoAlert.com. This system allows all community members in Boulder County to be notified of emergency situations in a variety of ways including on their cell phone, home, work phones, text messaging, and email.
Community members are encouraged to review their own emergency preparedness plans and discuss what they would do in the event of a flash flood or other emergency. For more information about personal preparedness, including upcoming training courses, please visit: www.BoulderODM.gov.
