**City of Belton City Council Meeting Summary – November 25, 2025**

The City of Belton City Council convened for a regular meeting on November 25, 2025, with two councilmembers participating remotely via videoconference. The session addressed critical municipal operations, significant development adjustments, and essential infrastructure projects. Key decisions considered by the Council included authorizing an amendment to a development agreement with Hunt Communities Belton, LLC to allow for different lot sizes, approving a sole source purchase of water meters from Core & Main, and executing an interlocal easement agreement with the Brazos River Authority for the Belhouse Pipeline Project.

Among the most significant items on the agenda was the proposed Amendment #2 to the Development Agreement with Hunt Communities Belton, LLC. This amendment was set to modify previously approved lot sizes, indicating potential changes in the density and planning for future residential or commercial development within the city. Additionally, the Council considered the authorization of a sole source purchase of water meters. Such purchases, while sometimes necessary for standardization or specialized equipment, are notable for streamlining procurement processes. A major infrastructure initiative also addressed was the authorization for the City Manager to execute an Interlocal Easement Agreement with the Brazos River Authority, a crucial step for the Belhouse Pipeline Project, which is vital for regional water management or supply.

The meeting also included the routine approval of minutes from previous meetings and authorizations for capital expenditures, specifically the purchase of vehicles for the Public Works and Parks Departments, funded through the Capital Equipment Replacement Fund. An agreement for Visitor Center support with the Belton Area Chamber of Commerce for Fiscal Year 2026 was also on the consent agenda. While the agenda did not detail specific votes or indicate any items were pulled from the consent agenda for extended debate, the Council planned two separate executive sessions: one for consultation with an attorney and deliberation regarding real property, and another for personnel matters, including performance evaluations for both the City Clerk and the City Manager.

Going forward, the authorizations granted during this meeting will lead to the City Manager executing the various agreements and purchases. The outcomes of the executive sessions, particularly concerning personnel evaluations, may lead to further public actions or announcements at subsequent meetings. Citizens' comments, if any were presented, could also influence future agenda items as per established council procedures.
