Seven Metro District Board members represent the whole community, not just the district in which they live. They collaborate with other service providers to ensure Highlands Ranch continues to be a great place to live and work.

The Metro District Board of Directors represents constituents throughout this community of 103,000 people.

Email MetroBoard@highlandsranch.org to contact all board members as a group.

Metro District Board Meetings are held the last Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. They are held in person at the Hendrick Office Building, 62 Plaza Drive, and virtually via Zoom. The public is invited to attend. Learn more about upcoming meetings.

Board Member Eligibility

Board members must live in or own property in the district region which they serve. In 2018, House Bill 18-139 passed, changing regular special district elections from even years to odd years. Directors serve four-year terms.
