The Missouri City Council unanimously approved its consent agenda Monday, Oct. 20, 2025, approving a set of contracts, second readings of several ordinances and authorizations needed for upcoming elections.

The approved consent items included: second and final readings to amend regulations for liquor store locations and to prohibit smoke shops in commercial areas; an amendment to the city code for nonconforming property uses to align with the Texas Local Government Code; the second of three readings to authorize a franchise to GFL Environmental Inc. for residential and commercial solid waste and recyclable materials collection; authorization to negotiate and execute a three-year contract with Delta Fire & Safety Inc. for personal protective clothing not to exceed $150,000 per year; and approval to negotiate and execute a VMware licensing and maintenance agreement at an annual cost of $134,327. The council also authorized the city secretary to negotiate and execute joint election agreements with Fort Bend County and Harris County for the Nov. 4 general and special elections.

City Manager Angel Jones provided the consent overview during the staff reports before the roll-call vote. There were no public comments on the consent items. Councilmember Boney moved to approve agenda items 6A through 6J; Councilmember Clauser seconded. The roll call was unanimous and the motion carried 7–0.

The council’s action clears the listed items to proceed through the administrative and contract execution phases described in staff reports.

Votes at the meeting show the council acted by roll call on the motion approving the consent items; no separate amendments to those listed consent items were recorded during the meeting.

The ordinances that received second readings will return to the council as required for any remaining readings, and the franchise, procurement and licensing items will move to contract negotiation and execution as authorized.
