Smith to retire June 30

Health issues are pushing up David Smith’s plans to retire as Westminster city administrator. The mayor and council have accepted Smith’s plans to retire June 30. In the meantime, about 30 people have answered an ad to serve as assistant administrator. But Smith says the city will now have to change the search to that of a search for an administrator. One of the applicants attended last night’s meeting apparently to see the city and get a feel for what could be his potential employers.
