The Belmont City Council unanimously adopted the consent agenda and then moved to substantive business on May 5.
Key procedural actions: the council approved the consent agenda by unanimous voice vote; it set a public hearing on the FY2025'26 budget for June 2; and it agreed to hold a special meeting at 5 p.m. on June 5 to continue the public hearing on the Crescent development application.

The meeting closed its open session with a motion to enter closed session to consult with the city attorney and to discuss negotiating positions for real-property acquisition, citing North Carolina General Statute language read into the record.
All actions described above were taken by voice vote during the May 5 meeting; no ordinances were adopted final at this session.
