Westminster council scheduled to vote on utility fee hikes, $450K meter contract

The Westminster Mayor and Common Council was scheduled to vote on proposed increases to water and sewer benefit assessment fees and a $450,000 sole-source contract with Badger Meter USA during its regular meeting on June 22, according to the published agenda. The agenda also included a public hearing on the city Housing Authority’s five-year plan and the introduction of new commercial wastewater rules. Because official meeting minutes had not been released at press time, the outcomes of any votes could not be confirmed.

Fee increases and Badger Meter contract

The council’s agenda included second-reading votes on two ordinances: one to raise sewer and water benefit assessment fees (Ordinance 2026-05), and another to establish inspection requirements and penalty provisions for commercial and industrial wastewater facilities (Ordinance 2026-06). No dollar figures for the proposed fee increases were listed in the agenda summary. A separate item sought approval of a $450,000 sole-source purchase with Badger Meter USA. Items on the consent agenda or requiring a vote are typically acted upon at the meeting, but the lack of minutes means no action can be verified.

Public hearing on Housing Authority plan

Before any votes, the council held a public hearing on the Westminster Housing Authority’s 2025–2029 Five-Year Plan, a document required by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The plan details the authority’s goals for public housing and voucher programs over the next several years. Details of any public comment or council discussion were not available by deadline.

Appointments to Planning and Zoning Commission

The council also had on its agenda the appointments of Tiombe Paige and Parice Halbert to the Planning and Zoning Commission. Appointments are typically approved by vote.

Work sessions on technology and signs

In two work sessions during the same period, the council discussed a technology update (June 22) and sign regulations (June 25). No formal votes were expected in either session, according to the agendas, and no minutes have been published.

Coming up

No city government meetings were listed on the public calendar for the next two weeks as of July 5.
