The City of Westminster Mayor and Common Council held a meeting on August 10, 2026. A key procurement-related item was the approval of a waiver of competitive procurement to purchase a Case 651 GXR wheel loader from Core Equipment Group for $248,500, funded within the city's FY 2027 capital budget allocation of $285,200 for equipment replacement. The purchase utilized an existing Sourcewell contract, providing cost savings and justifying the waiver. Other discussions included updates on rental housing licenses, public works activities such as upcoming road striping, and planning department reports on zoning and development projects. Public comments raised concerns about street closures, road maintenance, trash collection, and speeding issues. No other contract awards or RFPs were discussed during the meeting.
