Dennis Frazier commentary on Westminster Common Council meetings

Dennis Frazier commentary on Westminster Common Council meetings

May 18, 2011

This is the first e-mail that I am sending to try and keep you informed on what it happening at city hall. I will try to send one after each council meeting. Please let me know what you think about what is going on.

This bill was introduced-Job Creation Tax Credit-This will allow the city to give a tax break to business in the city if they meet the following criteria:

5,000 square feet of new or expanded space,

25 new full time employees, and

Paid 125% of weekly county average wage.

If a new or existing company meets these criteria then the city will give them -52% off taxes for the first 2 years, 39% off years 3 and 4, 26% off years 5 and 6.

If the company fails to meet the criteria after they have received the tax break the company will pay back the last 3 years worth of tax money.

I think this is a good idea to try and get new business to come to the city.

What do you think?

Thanks for your time Dennis Frazier

Common Council: Well Wishes, Zoning Amendments, Pool Opening

Patch reports on five noteworthy items from Monday night's Common Council meeting.
Westminster’s Common Council meeting was the first for incoming council members Dennis Frazier and Paul Whitson. The two were sworn into office on May 16, replacing long-standing council members Suzanne Albert and Greg Pecoraro.
Outgoing Council Member Recognition
Westminster Mayor Kevin Utz thanked outgoing council members Suzanne Albert and Greg Pecoraro for their service and commitment. He noted that Albert served 16 consecutive years. Albert said she is likely the longest-standing female to serve on the Westminster council.

“I appreciate everybody’s hard work over the years," Peccoraro said. "I worked with a lot of terrific people and a terrific staff. Now I look forward to working with you all as a citizen.”
Recognition for 30 Years of ServicePublic Works Director Jeff Glass was recognized for 30 years of service in Westminster’s public works department. “We often say he has worked every job in the public works department, and it’s true,” Utz said...
