The Castle Pines City Council held a meeting on February 24. Meeting highlights include:
- Approval of the appointment of new regular members to the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board.
- Approval of a resolution finding the Crowsnest property eligible for annexation in accordance with Colorado state law. This is the second step in the annexation process; it does not mean that the City Council supports or opposes the policy question of whether the property should be annexed. It determines whether the property is eligible for annexation.
- An update from the Douglas County Sheriff's Office.
- A study session presentation from the Colorado Intergovernmental Risk Sharing Agency about liability, best practices for board management, and more.
