Belton approves replacement pickup for wastewater plant; one councilor abstains over employment conflict
Summary
Council approved Resolution 2025-56 to buy a 2025 Chevrolet pickup truck for the wastewater treatment plant using a Johnson County cooperative purchasing agreement; one council member abstained, citing a corporate employment conflict.
The Belton City Council approved Resolution 2025-56 authorizing purchase of a new Chevrolet pickup truck for the Public Works wastewater treatment plant using cooperative purchasing prices through a Johnson County, Kansas contract.
Staff explained the resolution would replace a 14‑year‑old pickup vehicle used daily by plant crews and authorized disposal of the existing vehicle. The truck described in staff comments is a 2025 four‑door, four‑wheel‑drive Chevrolet to support parts runs, crew transport and daily plant operations.
One council member announced an abstention “just given my corporate employment,” and the abstention was recorded during the vote. The motion carried after the abstention was noted.
