During its regular meeting Tuesday, the Longmont City Council is expected to hear a presentation from several speakers about the possibility of establishing a regional minimum wage.
Representatives on behalf of the Boulder County Consortium of Cities, the Boulder Area Labor Council and the Longmont Chamber of Commerce are scheduled to present to the council about the issue.
In 2019, the Colorado General Assembly passed House Bill 19-1210, which allows a local government such as Longmont to establish its own minimum wage. However, before enacting its own minimum wage law, a local government must consult with surrounding jurisdictions and stakeholders, according to the legislation.
“If anybody’s going to do this and make it work — any municipality — it’s going to have to be in concert with other municipalities,” Councilman Tim Waters said Monday. In addition to serving on the City Council, Waters is one of the city’s representatives on the Longmont Economic Development Partnership Board of Trustees.Citing data from the Colorado Center on Law and Policy self sufficiency standard, advocates in Boulder County are calling for a $15.41 minimum wage in 2024 and to increase it by 12.9% annually until reaching $25 in 2028, according to council correspondence.

Atlanta project decried as 'Cop City’ gets funding approval from City CouncilAtlanta City Council has approved funding for the construction of a proposed police and firefighter training center, rejecting the pleas of hundreds of activists who packed City Hall and spoke for hours in fierce opposition to the project they decry as “Cop City.” The vote is a significant victory for Mayor Andre Dickens, who has made the $90 million project a large part of his first term in office, despite significant pushback to the effort. For about 14 hours, residents again and again took to the podium to slam the project, saying it would be a gross misuse of public funds to build the huge facility in a large urban forest in a poor, majority-Black area.
