Callahan House Advisory Board Meeting, Aug. 12, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado's Callahan House Advisory Board met on September 12, 2026, to discuss various ongoing projects and operational matters related to the historic Callahan House. Key procurement-related discussions included the receipt of three new bids for the restoration of the fountain, with an intention to select a vendor and complete the work by late October or early November. The board also discussed plans to obtain quotes for lawn leveling and a comprehensive irrigation system overhaul scheduled for spring, with purchasing processes to be initiated. Budget discussions focused on reallocating funds within the 2027 budget to cover advertising and legal notices, particularly related to the Wedding Pro subscription, without requesting additional funds. The board emphasized flexibility in meeting times to improve volunteer recruitment and discussed vendor partnerships, particularly preferred catering vendors required for weddings. Additionally, the board planned upcoming committee meetings to finalize details on digitized scrapbooks, event preparations, and board member binders, as well as strategies for promoting the Callahan House through new video presentations and community events.
