I’m Laura, a Pleasant View resident and neighbor.
I want to help our community stay informed about what’s happening. I know it’s hard to attend public meetings, so I started making these recaps to help us all be in the know! I was elected to the Pleasant View Metro District Board of Directors in May 2025. Before that, I was a volunteer firefighter for Pleasant View.
Email me at lauraforpleasantview@gmail.com or call or text me at 720-675-8093. I’d love to hear from you!
I also hope you’ll join me at the next Pleasant View Metro Board Meeting. You can find the calendar here.
Your Neighbor,
Laura Cardon
What is Pleasant View?
Most neighbors are confused by the difference between the county, the metro district, the water district, and the City of Golden. Here’s a quick breakdown!
City of Golden: The eastern boundary of the City of Golden is Ulysses Street. Everything east of that until (very roughly) Colorado Mills is Pleasant View. Pleasant View is not part of the city of Golden.
Pleasant View: Not a city so we don’t have a city council like Golden does. We do have a metropolitan district, which is another type of local government where our property taxes go. The metro district manages the parks and fire department. The district has employees but is ultimately governed by a board of directors.
Jefferson County: Manages planning, zoning, permitting, open space like South Table Mountain, and roads (plus many other things obviously).
Pleasant View Water and Sanitation District is another special district local government that manages our sewer.
Consolidated Mutual Water Company is a private company that manages our water.
