Lakewood City Council, Aug. 22

Action

The City of Lakewood approved an ordinance from Trailbreak Partners Sheridan LLC, which creates a service plan for the Sheridan Station West Metropolitan District.

The Service Plan for the District will include all statutorily required information and also includes certain additional limitations City staff has requested. Upon its approval, the plan will be the district's governing document, much like a city charter which defines the powers, authorities and limits thereon for a city.
