Summary
Minutes from the July 15 special meeting list Mayor Karen Buck and three councilmembers present, note two councilmembers absent, record consensus approval of a letter of support for a Friends & Neighbors grant, and show a motion to adjourn at 12:12 p.m.
The City of Burton special meeting minutes for July 15, 2025 list Mayor Karen Buck and Councilmembers Nathan Kalkhake, Paul McLaughlin and Jeff Eckhardt as present; Councilmembers Macey Tidwell and Tommie Gilmon were recorded absent. City Secretary Angela Harrington and Utility Clerk Rachel Belvin were present as staff; the minutes state no citizens attended.
The minutes record that Mayor Buck read a support letter for a Friends & Neighbors LCRA grant application and that the "general consensus was to approve the letter with the three (3) councilmembers in attendance signing the document." Later, "A motion was made by Councilmember McLaughlin and seconded by Councilmember Kalkhake to adjourn" and the meeting was recorded as adjourned at 12:12 p.m.
The minutes include the full draft of the support letter, which characterizes Friends & Neighbors as a longtime nonprofit in the community using city-owned property for youth sports and tournament play. The record does not show a separate roll-call vote on the letter; the city will proceed with collecting signatures and submitting the letter to LCRA as an administrative follow-up.
