Special City Council Meeting - June 9, 2026

The City of Killeen held a Special City Council Meeting on June 9, 2026, primarily focused on discussing proposed amendments to the city charter. Key procurement-related topics included election dates, term limits, resign-to-run provisions, filling vacancies on the city council, and council-initiated investigations. The council debated moving all elections to November of odd-numbered years to save costs, with discussion on the implications for term staggering and election administration by the county. They considered term limits for council members and the mayor, ultimately rejecting proposed term limits. The resign-to-run provision was also debated, with a motion to remove it failing, but a subsequent motion to allow council members to run for other offices without resigning passed. Regarding filling vacancies, the council discussed whether vacancies should be filled by appointment or special election, with a motion to limit appointments to two per two-year term passing. The council also discussed the need for formal procedures for council-initiated investigations, debating whether such procedures should be mandated by ordinance or included in governing standards; a motion to require procedures via governing standards was ultimately rejected. Several motions related to charter amendments were put forward for voter consideration in the November election. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn and continue discussion at a future date. No direct contract awards or procurement vendor selections were made during this meeting.
