Museum Advisory Board Meeting, May 20, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado's Museum Advisory Board met on May 20, 2026, primarily discussing museum operations, membership rate adjustments, and board membership appointments. The board reviewed new accession items and discussed the upcoming reopening of museum galleries scheduled for October 17, 2026. A significant portion of the meeting focused on proposed changes to membership categories and rates, including the introduction of a "Museums for All" membership for low-income individuals, consolidation of individual membership categories, and adjustments to family memberships. The board anticipates a $10,000 increase in annual membership revenue with these changes, effective January 1, 2027. Additionally, the board recommended three candidates for appointment to the advisory board, pending City Council approval. The meeting also addressed scheduling changes for future meetings and confirmed the museum advisory board would remain independent despite council discussions about consolidating advisory boards. No direct contract awards or procurement actions were reported during this meeting.
