- Approved a bond‑counsel agreement with Allen Boone Humphreys Robinson LLP (ABHR) for the Texas Water Development loan related to wastewater treatment expansion (bond counsel fees up to $286,000; source: bond proceeds).
- Adopted Amendment No. 6 to the FY25/26 budget to account for general fund reserve usage tied to earlier approvals.

Most items were approved on voice vote or by motion and second; several councilmembers participated in brief clarifying comments but none of these consent/resolution items provoked sustained debate compared with zoning items.
