LAKEWOOD — It was supposed to be offseason training, a getaway from the Colorado winter. Littleton’s Tucker Saye was rounding the track on his 2013 Staman’s Motorsports Suzuki 450, chasing down the second-place rider as part of the five-race Texas Winter Series.

After hearing proposals from four law firms, members of the Littleton City Council believe they may have found a solution to filling the vacant city attorney position.
