The City of Westminster Mayor and Common Council convened on September 8, 2025, to discuss significant developments, including a proposed annexation of property and updates from various city departments.

The meeting opened with a request from multiple petitioners, including Knit Center Park Condominium Inc. and Militello Health Properties LLC, to annex a 1.47-acre property located at 531 Old West Fort Westminster Pike into the city limits. This property, currently composed of ten condominiums, is seeking to transition from Carroll County's C-2 commercial zoning to the City of Westminster's B business zone. The change is necessary for the petitioners to obtain additional water and sewer allocations for new developments, including a doctor's office and an adult day care facility. The council unanimously voted to introduce annexation resolution number 25-08, allowing the annexation process to commence.

In addition to the annexation discussion, the meeting included departmental reports. The Public Works Department announced the rescheduling of Main Street striping to Thursday at 9 PM. The Recreation Department reported the seasonal closure of the city pool and highlighted a recent staff training session. Other departments, including Housing, Technology, and Human Resources, provided brief updates, with no significant new business reported.

The council also noted upcoming meetings, including a public hearing on the Wakefield Valley Development Plan amendment scheduled for September 18, which proposes the addition of 35 new residential units.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's ongoing development efforts and the collaborative work of various departments to enhance community services and infrastructure.
