The Lakewood City Council met on Tuesday evening to hear a report on the city's Urban Water Management Plan. Lakewood water customers have successfully conserved over 22% from consumption levels in 2013, surpassing the goal set by the state water board.

The council also heard a report from L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe, who will be retiring later this year after 20 years serving Lakewood and other cities in southeastern L.A. County. Mayor Ron Piazza and council members thanked Supervisor Knabe for two decades of partnership with Lakewood and for a long list of county assistance provided to Lakewood, including funding for playgrounds at Biscailuz, Bolivar and Mayfair Parks, the Nature Trail and the modernization of the Sheriff's Station, and assistance to many non-profit organizations in Lakewood.

On April 20, 2016 the City of Lakewood hosted an appreciation luncheon to thank all the senior Lakewood volunteers who have given so much of their time to the community over the past year. Gwen Travis, an original Lakewood resident from the 1950s, received special recognition as the 2015 Older Adult Volunteer of the Year.
