The 31-member Metro Mayors Caucus has requested that all members pass a resolution of support for a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that promotes wise management and stewardship of Denver metropolitan water resources. The MOU was developed by a subcommittee of the Caucus. It in no way binds the City of Lakewood or any other member community to a particular project or practice.
