The resolution directs county staff to review and strengthen existing policies.<\/p>\n<p>The Boulder Senior Center offers related programming including free legal consultations, tax preparation assistance, health screenings, and social activities. Over 536 seniors participated in center programs last year.<\/p>\n<p>The Parks &#038; Open Space processed over 3,821 applications last year, with an average processing time of 4 business days. Staff are available at the Boulder office Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM.<\/p>\n<h3>Community Impact<\/h3>\n<p>Transportation access remains a key concern. Boulder County&#8217;s Via mobility program provides door-to-door transit service for residents in Boulder and surrounding communities who cannot access fixed-route bus service. RTD routes B, J, and BOLT serve major corridors.<\/p>\n<p>Public comment on this matter can be submitted through the Boulder County online portal, by email to Parks &#038; Open Space, or in person at the next Board of County Commissioners meeting. Written comments received by 5:00 PM the day before the hearing will be included in the public record.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Participate<\/h3>\n<p>Residents in the Boulder area should note that service boundaries may differ from city limits. For properties in unincorporated Boulder County, contact Parks &#038; Open Space at (303) 441-2036 to verify eligibility and requirements.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Boulder County Board of Commissioners has issued a resolution reaffirming the county&#8217;s commitment to protecting immigrant community members and ensuring equal access to county services regardless of immigration status.
