Town of Erie

What Town of Erie does

Town of Erie is a Home Rule municipal government entity incorporated in 1870, operating under a Town Council/Town Manager structure since November 2023, serving approximately 75,000+ residents across Boulder and Weld counties in Colorado. It delivers a comprehensive portfolio of municipal services including police and public safety, water and wastewater utilities, parks and recreation, planning and development, permitting, road maintenance across 138.5 miles of streets, and economic development. The Town is governed by a seven-member elected council led by Mayor Andrew J. Moore and staffed by 101–250 employees across departments ranging from public works to municipal court.

The Town's technology infrastructure is built on commodity civic platforms: CivicPlus CivicEngage powers the official website, SeeClickFix (branded ErieSubmit) handles non-emergency service requests, BoulderAIR delivers air quality monitoring, ArcGIS provides interactive mapping, and eTRAKiT manages permitting and inspections. Citizen-facing digital products include the Notify Me alert system, Erie Government Television (Comcast Channel 8), Cone Zones for construction updates, smart water meters, and online utility billing. Accessibility compliance meets WCAG 2.0 AA standards with support for JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver, and keyboard navigation.

Revenue is generated through a diversified municipal model including property taxes, sales and use taxes, water/wastewater/storm drainage utility billing, building permits and business licenses, recreation program fees, and recently added mineral rights revenue from an SM Energy agreement (3% production share plus a $4.5M cash payment in exchange for ~182 acres of mineral rights). Services are delivered through direct in-person channels (Town Hall, Erie Community Center, Wurl Service Center), self-serve online portals, the ErieSubmit mobile app, and field services. Customer segments are primarily horizontal: residents, local businesses, and institutional partners including school districts and county sheriff offices.
