# Westminster Family Town Hall | October 6 2026

The City of Westminster’s family town hall on October 6, 2026, focused on affordability, family services, and safer connections to schools. City officials described a targeted sales-tax exemption that they said had unanimous council support and could save families up to $600,000 annually; childcare-related ordinance changes; a water-affordability task force’s recommendation to lower the price of basic household water use; and a new down-payment assistance program. The city also reported tripling rental-property inspectors through cross-training existing staff. The transcript does not identify a specific procurement, contract award, vendor selection, or capital-project approval.

Officials outlined existing assistance and community programs, including free home energy assessments and a neighborhood sustainability grant of up to $5,000 for projects such as tree planting and energy efficiency. A cooperative program connects residents seeking solar or heat-pump installations with approved contractors. The event also invited residents to discuss safer walking, biking, and travel routes to schools. No specific grant awards or procurement-related spending votes were reported.
