**Executive Summary: City of Belton Public Meeting on 2024 Building and Fire Codes**

On Tuesday, September 22, 2025, the City of Belton held a public meeting at the Harris Community Center to discuss the potential upgrade to the 2024 Building and Fire Codes. This gathering was explicitly designated as a public informational meeting and not an official session of the Belton City Council, though a quorum of Councilmembers was noted as possibly being in attendance. The meeting's primary objective was to facilitate public discussion and input regarding the proposed code updates.

During the session, the central item of discussion revolved around the merits and implications of adopting the 2024 Building and Fire Codes. No specific details of the discussion were provided in the excerpt beyond the overarching topic of the "possible upgrade." As this was an informational forum, no formal decisions were made, nor were any policies or ordinances adopted. The meeting served as a preliminary step to engage the community on a significant regulatory update.

Consistent with its non-official status, no votes were cast on any matters, and no controversial items were formally recorded as being debated or decided. Therefore, the meeting concluded without any legislative action or directive. While no immediate next steps were outlined in the provided record, any formal consideration or adoption of the 2024 Building and Fire Codes would necessitate official action by the Belton City Council at a subsequent, properly noticed public meeting.
