During a recent city council meeting in Westminster, a significant focus was placed on the importance of truth and divine guidance in governance. The meeting opened with a prayer led by a community member, who emphasized the need for truth as a foundational element for a healthy society. The speaker highlighted that both major political parties in the U.S. seek God's blessings, particularly in light of pressing national issues. The prayer called for discernment amidst the overwhelming flow of information, urging the community to choose truth over deception.
Following the prayer, the city manager provided updates on upcoming events and initiatives. Notably, the city will hold an executive session on September 9 regarding the Rocky Mountain Greenway Trail, with a public discussion scheduled for September 23 if necessary. The city manager also announced Westminster's annual Employee Appreciation Week, which celebrates the contributions of city employees and includes various awards and recognition ceremonies.
Additionally, a public service announcement was made regarding lead inspections for homes built in 1961 or earlier. While the city’s water supply is free of lead, residents in older homes are encouraged to have their plumbing inspected. The city has partnered with AGL Construction to offer free inspections, with a deadline for residents to respond by October 16.
The meeting concluded with a reminder of the importance of community engagement and the city’s commitment to addressing residents' concerns.
