Residents in Lone Tree and the Park Meadows Metropolitan District, located almost entirely within Lone Tree, will elect board members and vote on a charter amendment during the May 6 election. Lone Tree area residents also can vote for Southgate Water and Sanitation District board members.
Lone Tree residents will vote on a charter amendment designed to ensure the fairness of the city’s future mayoral elections.
The proposed change would prevent a mayor from being elected by a small percentage of the voters, instead ensuring a majority vote. It would also require a run-off election between the top two vote-getters if more than two people ever sought the top council spot. The change would prevent a small but strong group from stacking the votes and potentially deciding a future mayor.
Additionally in Lone Tree, current District 1 Councilmember Jackie Millet and District 2 Councilmember Susan Squyer are running uncontested for new terms.
Polls will be open at the Lone Tree Civic Center, 8527 Lone Tree Parkway in Lone Tree from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. May 6.
