Belton council approves consent agenda, including plats, contracts and ETJ release
Summary
The Belton City Council approved consent agenda items covering minutes, contracts, plats, ETJ release and a bond consent on March 25, 2025, with separate votes held on two land-related items.
The Belton City Council on March 25 approved its consent agenda, enacting items 3 through 11 in a single action that included minutes, contracts, plats and several resolutions.
The items approved included: acceptance of the March 11 council meeting minutes; a resolution supporting the Central Texas Council of Governments’ transition to a regional 9-1-1 emergency communications district; authorization for the city manager to execute a contract with Paragon Sports Construction, LLC for a multipurpose field at Heritage Park via the BuyBoard Purchasing Cooperative; adoption of a final plat for Capital Way Industrial Park (about 40.0986 acres); authorizing a water service area/CCN transfer agreement with Armstrong Water Supply Corporation for the Capital Way Industrial Park project; a license agreement for use of an existing city sign frame on Pearl Street; release of about 110.04 acres from the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) for property owned by JT Carothers Holdings LLC; confirmation of consent for a proposed $3,540,000 bond issue by Bell County Municipal Utility District No. 1; and revision of a general development plan for a proposed River Farm development (approx. 6.480 acres).
City staff read the consent items into the record and the council voted to approve the grouped items. Items 6 (Capital Way Industrial Park final plat) and 7 (the Armstrong Water Supply Corporation CCN/water service agreement) were called out to be considered separately because Council member Craig Pearson was noted earlier as intending to abstain from those votes; the minutes record, however, that the separate motion to approve items 6 and 7 was seconded and recorded as passing unanimously.
Votes recorded in the meeting were voice votes. The council did not list individual roll-call votes in the transcript for the consent motion; the chair called for “all in favor” and recorded the motion as passed. The council proceeded to later agenda items after the consent agenda vote.
Ending: The council moved from the consent agenda into multiple zoning and public-hearing matters on the March 25 docket.
