Longmont council advances $6.26 million supplemental budget package
The proposal would add $6.26 million to Longmont’s 2026 appropriations, including nearly $5.8 million from a Boulder County grant to acquire a downtown property for affordable housing.
Longmont City Council advanced a supplemental appropriation ordinance that would add $6,264,509 to the city’s 2026 budget, including $5,799,844 for a Boulder County grant to acquire a downtown property for affordable housing.
The package would bring total 2026 appropriations to $761,694,672, according to the city’s Sept. 8 council packet. The ordinance is the city’s 12th additional appropriation for 2026.
The grant was approved by the City Council in June and paid to the city in a lump sum, the staff memo says. The grant agreement expires Dec. 31, 2030.
The package also includes $300,000 for soil remediation at the First and Main project, funded through a General Fund reserve supported by oil-and-gas royalties. Another $153,730 would fund Whole Home Health program expenses, offset by rebate revenue.
Smaller appropriations include $1,100 for Sunset Golf Course expenses, $6,250 for a Community Accelerated Mobility Project grant match, $2,500 to digitize Callahan House records and $1,085 for the Memorial Bench and Brick Program.
The ordinance remained on the consent agenda when the council approved that agenda unanimously, according to the meeting recording. The recording identifies the measure as Ordinance 2026-57 and says its second reading and public hearing were scheduled for Sept. 22. The available record does not establish final passage or adoption. The packet does not identify the property or specify how many affordable homes the acquisition would produce.
