Earlier today, City Manager Mark A. Freitag submitted, and the City Council accepted, his letter of resignation as city manager. In order to ensure a smooth transition, and with the full support of City Council, Deputy City Manager Jody Andrews will serve as acting city manager while City Council begins a recruitment process for a permanent city manager.

“Under my leadership, we were able to begin two generational investments in Westminster’s infrastructure. The drinking water facility project will make Westminster’s water supply more resilient, meet future clean water laws, and allow the city to responsibly decommission the aging Semper water treatment plant. And the municipal courthouse will offer our staff the ability to deliver justice in a safe and secure environment,” said Freitag. “These two significant infrastructure investments will benefit Westminster residents, families, and businesses for generations.”

Through an ambitious reorganization, Freitag also streamlined city operations and consolidated city facilities to improve service to residents and lower operational cost. 

“Mark is an honorable man. I thank him for his service to our nation and our city, and I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors,” said Mayor Nancy McNally. “I am confident the strong executive team led by Acting Manager Andrews will ensure residents continue to receive high-quality city services while we begin our recruitment process for a permanent city manager.”
