City of Westminster Mayor and Common Council Meeting - Monday, November 9, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.

The City of Westminster Mayor and Common Council meeting was held November 9, 2026. The primary procurement- and capital-related action was adoption of Ordinance 2026-10, authorizing two general-obligation bonds to finance or reimburse costs of the Pure Water Westminster water-reuse project: one for up to $9 million and one for up to $7 million. The bonds are to be sold by private sale to the Maryland Water Infrastructure Financing Administration, without public bidding. The $7 million bond is subject to forgiveness if the city meets applicable criteria; the $9 million loan was described as carrying a very low interest rate. Council members cited state, county, and federal collaboration in funding the project, which is expected to open next year. No construction contract or vendor award was made at this meeting.

Other business included approval of prior meeting minutes and the consent calendar, reports on a planned city accounting-system upgrade with a target go-live date of October 1, 2027, and upcoming planning reviews for commercial development and zoning matters. These items did not include a purchasing decision or contract award. The meeting also included ceremonial proclamations and routine reports; no other procurement activity was identified.
