The question on your ballot
Shall the City of Longmont Home Rule Charter be amended by revising section 13.2 to add open space to lands that cannot be sold or conveyed without voter approval, with exceptions for public roads, utilities, life-essential infrastructure, open space operations, and the sale or conveyance of structures on such lands?
In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
Longmont Question 3B would require voter approval before the city sells or conveys open space land. Open space would be added to the lands that already cannot be sold without a vote. The measure lists exceptions for public roads, utilities, and life-essential infrastructure. Open space operations and the sale or conveyance of structures on such lands are also exempt. A YES vote adds open space to the voter-approval requirement. A NO vote keeps the current charter language.
