City Council Meetings
City Council meetings are where Lakewood’s elected officials discuss community issues, consider ordinances and resolutions, and make decisions that guide the City’s policies and services. Meetings are open to the public and provide an important opportunity for residents to stay informed and participate in local government. Residents can also watch meetings on Lakewood8 (Comcast channel 8 or in HD on 880) or online.
Community members are encouraged to attend meetings in person or participate online through Lakewood Speaks, where you can submit public comments and engage remotely. Whether you join in person or online, your voice helps shape Lakewood’s future.
