City Council Meeting - August 25, 2026 - 6:00 pm

The City Council meeting of Belton, Missouri, held on August 25, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key procurement actions included approval of a budget amendment to cover additional costs for the water meter infrastructure replacement project, with an increase of approximately $170,000 due to the need for larger and additional meters, including costly fire line meters. A change order for this project was also approved to adjust the contract with Utility Service Company Inc. The council approved a supplemental agreement with MoDOT to accelerate a $5 million federally funded Markey Parkway connection project, requiring a 20% local match but no city tax dollars. Additionally, the council discussed and approved ordinances related to development plans, including a 93,440 square foot maintenance facility and a car wash addition, and an amended development agreement for the Autumn Woods subdivision. The meeting also addressed policy on travel and training for elected officials and nuisance property enforcement, with discussions on code enforcement consistency and abatement processes. The council reviewed the condition of City Hall and the annex, noting significant repair costs estimated at $1.77 million to fix existing issues. Several planning and zoning items were previewed for future consideration, including daycare center permits, right-of-way vacations, and rezoning for park properties. Motions were passed with typical unanimous or majority votes, and no significant opposition was noted on procurement items.
