Summary
The Belton City Council approved multiple ordinances and resolutions, including two special-use permits for electronic message center signs and a correction to a prior ordinance's statutory citation; the council also approved the consent agenda and voted to enter executive session.
The Belton City Council recorded the following formal outcomes during the meeting.
Crossroads United Methodist Church sign (Bill 2025-56): Council approved the final reading of an ordinance granting a special-use permit for an electronic message center sign at Crossroads United Methodist Church, 515 East Markey Parkway. Roll-call votes were recorded in the affirmative and the motion passed.
Lord of Love Lutheran Church sign (Bill 2025-57): Council approved the final reading of an ordinance granting a special-use permit for an electronic message center sign for Lord of Love Lutheran Church (address read during the meeting). The motion passed on a roll-call vote.
Scrivener's-error ordinance (Bill 2025-58): Council approved the first and second readings of Bill 2025-58, which recognizes and corrects a scrivener's error contained in Ordinance 2025-4894 to amend the statutory citation under which the city's fire and emergency services sales tax was implemented.

Consent agenda: Council approved the consent agenda by motion after one item (No. 2) was removed for separate consideration.
Executive session: The council voted to enter executive session to discuss legal matters and real-estate and contract negotiations under the exemptions cited on the motion (referenced in the meeting as Missouri statutes permitting closed sessions). The roll call approved the motion.
