City Council — July 6, 2026
The City Council will hold public hearings regarding the Millbrook Estates affordable housing project. This includes an amendment to the existing Millbrook Estates District to carve out 0.91 acres for the creation of a new "Millbrook Estates III" district, which would support the development of 36 low-income rental units.
Other major items include final votes on several vehicle and equipment purchases for the Engineering and Public Services departments, including one-ton trucks, a plow truck, and zero-turn mowers. The Council will also review a $70,078.48 emergency expenditure for sewer repairs in Vallee Square and a $9,000 contribution toward repairs for the Westbrook High School tennis courts.
Additionally, the Council will consider a road closure for the Westbrook Strong 5K road race scheduled for July 18, 2026, and an annual contract with the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland for animal shelter services.
