During a recent government meeting, council members shared updates on community events and discussed pressing local issues, including ballot measures and the future of a disc golf course.

Councilor Zadia highlighted her participation in various community events, including a food drive with Rabbi Bevji and the Growing Home Fiesta, praising the Butterfly Pavilion for its conservation efforts. She also hosted a successful gathering at her home for the Westminster Community Foundation, where attendees learned about the foundation's initiatives.

A significant topic of discussion was the request from residents for information on local ballot measures. Councilor Zadia noted that many constituents were eager to access details about these measures online, as they are not included in the state blue book. City Manager Jody confirmed that the information is already available on the city’s website and offered to provide a link during the meeting.

Councilor Ireland reported on her attendance at the Butterfly Pavilion Gala and the historic Westminster Tea Party, emphasizing the importance of community engagement. She also discussed the success of charitable giving machines that have raised significant funds for local organizations.

The council then turned its attention to the disc golf course, which has faced challenges regarding its relocation. Councilor Hott advocated for reinstating the course in its original vicinity, expressing concern over the city's commitment to its residents. City Engineer John Burke explained that environmental and liability issues have complicated the potential return to the original site. However, he assured the council that efforts are underway to identify a suitable location nearby.

The council expressed a collective desire to expedite the process, with discussions about issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the new course location by early January. Members emphasized the importance of fulfilling the city's promise to residents regarding the disc golf course, with a hopeful target for completion by next summer.

Overall, the meeting underscored the council's commitment to community involvement and responsiveness to resident concerns, particularly regarding local recreational facilities and access to civic information.
