Summary
Summary of formal actions taken at the Westminster City Council meeting on Sept. 9, 2025, including annexation vote, grant and ordinance approvals, and two resolutions passed by the council.
Westminster — The City Council took several formal actions in its Sept. 9 meeting. Key outcomes:
- Resolution 09092025-01 (OJRSA reconstitution): Council adopted a nonbinding resolution supporting the Oconee Joint Regional Sewer Authority's reconstitution efforts and recommended proceeding with a technical and financial evaluation of sewer assets (resolution approved).
- Resolution 09092025-02 (Fluoride removal): Council approved a resolution directing staff to begin the administrative and operational steps to discontinue adding fluoride to the city's drinking water (resolution approved).
- Annexation (Standridge Drive, 100% annexation 992501): Council considered a motion to annex a 40-acre property near Orchard Park School. The motion did not pass; council discussion indicated lack of majority support.
- Consent and routine items: Council approved minutes from the Aug. 12 meeting and several routine items on the consent agenda. One councilmember recused from a consent vote because of absence at the prior meeting.
- Commercial Building Improvement Grant: Council approved changes to the program to broaden eligible materials (for example, pot plantings vs. wood landscaping) and include certain maintenance items.
- Community Development Block Grant closeout: Council opened and closed the required public hearing for the CDBG-funded Anderson Park project and accepted the closure report presented by Appalachian Council of Governments staff.
Votes and procedural notes were recorded on the public minutes and in the meeting audio/video. Several items received brief discussion and staff follow-up tasks were assigned; the OJRSA item prompted the most extensive questions and follow-up directions to staff.
For details: staff will return with the technical/financial evaluation scope and costs for the OJRSA matter and with implementation steps for fluoride removal.
