- Consent agenda (Item 5): Motion made and seconded to approve the consent agenda (minutes, department reports and utility billing write-offs). Mayor called for "all in favor" and the motion carried by voice vote.
- Resolution calling general election (Item 7, resolution 2025-0204-001): Motion and second recorded to approve the resolution calling a general election for May 3, 2025 to elect three city council seats; council approved by voice vote.

Notes: The transcript records motions, seconds and voice votes for these items; individual roll-call tallies were not recorded in the transcript. Where the transcript did not name a motion maker or seconder, the items are marked "mover/second not specified." Subsequent administrative steps (plan submissions, contract signatures, TWDB application submissions) were discussed as follow-up actions.
Ending: These votes set a calendar for the municipal election, moved a contested rezoning into permitting review, and assigned engineering resources to pursue substantial TWDB funding. Council and staff noted residents will be notified through standard agenda postings and the city's subscription system for future agenda items.
