WESTMINSTER, Colo. — Westminster's City Manager Mark Freitag submitted his letter of resignation to the City Council on Tuesday.
The council accepted his resignation and appointed Deputy City Manager Jody Andrews to Acting City Manager while the city begins the recruitment process for a permanent replacement for Freitag.
“Under my leadership, we were able to begin two generational investments in Westminster’s infrastructure," Freitag said. "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. These two significant infrastructure investments will benefit Westminster residents, families, and businesses for generations."
According to the city, Freitag also streamlined city operations and consolidated city facilities to lower operational costs and improve service to residents.
“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 Westminster 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.”
