City Council

Land Acknowledgement Statement

The Westbrook City Council understands, honors, and acknowledges that the City of Westbrook is located on the traditional and unceded homelands and waters of the Indigenous people of the Presumpscot River. We recognize that the Wabanaki people have been displaced by the advancement of colonization yet have belonged to this land for countless generations and thousands of years, and their presence continues in Maine to this day.

Meetings

City Council meetings are held on the first Monday of each month. Additional Special City Council meetings may be called by the City Council or Mayor as needed with 24-hour written notice. If a meeting falls on a holiday, the meeting will be moved to the following Monday. They are held at Westbrook High School in Room 114, 125 Stroudwater Street.

City Council meetings are open to the public and are broadcast live. A remote participation option is also available through Zoom.

Agendas & Minutes

City Council agenda packets are posted to the website prior to each meeting, generally on the Wednesday before a Monday meeting. Minutes are posted following approval by City Council. You may sign up to receive notifications whenever new agendas are posted.
