Westminster council scheduled housing plan hearing, utility fee votes; minutes not yet published
The Westminster Mayor and Common Council had a busy stretch of meetings the week of June 22, with agendas listing a public hearing on a five-year housing plan, proposed increases to water and sewer benefit assessment fees, and a $450,000 sole-source purchase. However, minutes from these meetings have not yet been published, so outcomes — including whether votes were taken — cannot be confirmed from the available record.
Housing Authority Five-Year Plan
The June 22 regular meeting agenda included a public hearing on the Housing Authority's 2025-2029 Five-Year Plan, a document tied to U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Urban Development requirements. The agenda listed this as a hearing item; no vote tally or decision is available in the record provided.
Utility Fee Increases and Wastewater Rules
Also on the June 22 agenda:
- **Ordinance 2026-05** — a proposed increase to Sewer and Water Benefit Assessment Fees. No dollar figures for the proposed increases are included in the agenda summary.
- **Ordinance 2026-06** — new wastewater inspection and penalty rules for commercial and industrial sites. The agenda describes these as new inspection requirements; specifics on penalty amounts or inspection frequency are not in the provided record.
Because minutes are not yet published, it is not confirmed whether either ordinance was adopted, amended, or tabled.
$450,000 Sole-Source Purchase
The June 22 agenda listed a sole-source purchase with Badger Meter, USA for $450,000. Sole-source purchases are made without a competitive bidding process when a vendor is deemed the only practical supplier. The record does not indicate what equipment or services the purchase covers, and no approval outcome is available.
Planning and Zoning Appointments
The agenda included appointments of Tiombe Paige and Parice Halbert to the Planning and Zoning Commission. No confirmation outcome is recorded in the available data.
Work Sessions: Technology and Signs
Two work sessions were scheduled during the same week:
- **June 22** — a technology update discussion. The agenda notes no votes or decisions were expected.
- **June 25** — a discussion of city sign regulations. No other topics were listed.
Work sessions are typically non-voting meetings where council members review issues before formal action. No minutes are available for either session.
What residents should watch
The utility fee proposal, if adopted, would affect what property owners pay for water and sewer benefit assessments. The wastewater inspection rules, if passed, would add new compliance requirements for commercial and industrial sites in Westminster. Residents who use city water and sewer services or own commercial property may want to follow up once minutes are published to confirm what, if anything, was decided.
Coming up
No upcoming meetings are listed for the next 14 days, according to the available record. Residents should check the City of Westminster's official website for any newly scheduled sessions or rescheduled items.
