The Westminster City Council Special Meeting on April 28, 2025, focused on updating members about new revenue-generating ideas for the city. The discussion highlighted several potential sources of income, including the transient occupancy tax, commonly known as the hotel tax, cannabis taxes, digital billboard revenues, and the possibility of expanding the user utility tax.

During the meeting, officials emphasized the importance of exploring creative revenue opportunities to enhance the city’s financial resources. The Mayor provided insights into the progress of these initiatives, noting that the evaluation of creative revenue ideas had led to the consideration of annexation and more efficient use of city properties.

Currently, the city is collaborating with the county on the annexation process, which may influence future strategic planning. The Mayor suggested that the annexation might not need to remain a focus in the strategic plan moving forward.

This meeting underscores the city council's proactive approach to addressing financial challenges and exploring diverse avenues for revenue generation, which could significantly impact Westminster's budget and services in the future.
