Votes at a glance: Westminster council approves clerk appointment, resolutions and utility contracting items
Summary
At its Feb. 11 meeting the council approved the city clerk/treasurer appointment, adopted routine resolutions (including Black History Month) and approved a utility rate-study contract and several policy items; most measures passed unanimously or by recorded consent of members present.
Westminster City Council took a series of formal votes on Feb. 11, approving a mix of personnel, resolutions, routine business and a contract award.
Key outcomes:
- Appointment: Council approved the appointment of Kylie Carter as city clerk and treasurer. Council members voted in favor; staff said Carter will assume the clerk duties and the city will adjust her pay scale (staff discussion cited a target range near $70,000â$72,000). The meeting record notes Carter was absent because she had just given birth.
- Resolutions: Council adopted a resolution designating February 2025 as Black History Month and a separate resolution pledging to practice and promote stability in city operations; both passed by recorded voice vote.
- Utilities policy: Council approved a revised policy on returned checks and adjustments, changing the prior lifetime penalty to a five-year period and clarifying that bill adjustments for leaks will not be made until the customer has corrected documented leaks.
- Bid award: Council accepted a proposal for a combined utility rate study from the lowest-cost bidder for the required sewer authority study. The bid award referenced in the meeting was to Raptellus (the meeting recorded the award amount discussed as roughly $36,100; council motion accepted the staff-recommended option scoped to the sewer study obligation). Staff noted the sewer authority required a rates review for member jurisdictions and that Westminster had not budgeted additional funding for a full combined study beyond the sewer obligation.
- Ordinance second reading and minutes: Council approved second reading of Ordinance 2025-02-11-02 (item specifics not detailed in the public transcript) and approved the Dec. 10 regular meeting minutes.
The meeting included roll-call votes recorded by the clerk for each item. Several items were framed by staff as procedural or required to comply with regional authorities; staff said further documents or ordinances may return to council where contracts or budget impacts arise.
