The Killeen City Council's recent meetings covered major financial items, including a proposed $3,068,784 airport terminal rehabilitation contract and public hearings on the FY2027 budget. However, minutes for all three recent meetings have not yet been published, so the outcomes of these agenda items are not yet confirmed by official records.

Airport terminal rehabilitation and equipment

The Council was also set to discuss ballot language for proposed City Charter amendments. Citizen comments on agenda items, excluding public hearings, were limited to 3 minutes per speaker.

Killeen Council Eyes Disannexation, Budget, Fee Hikes at Upcoming Meeting

The Killeen City Council held two meetings last month but took no formal action, instead focusing on proposed charter amendments and a road reconstruction project. The council’s next meeting, set for July 7, will include a public hearing on disannexing roughly 25 acres along Fort Hood Street, a first look at the Fiscal Year 2027 budget, and votes on a wireless tower permit, a construction contract adjustment, and animal service fee increases.

Recent Discussions, No Decisions

On June 22, the council met in a special session to discuss a slate of possible charter amendments. Topics included council-initiated investigations, candidate filing fees, initiative and referendum requirements, recall procedures, the judicial removal of elected officials, and changes to the citizen comment period. Minutes have not been published, and the meeting was for discussion only — no vote was held.

The following day, June 23, the council held a workshop to plan an upcoming open house for the Featherline Road reconstruction project. Again, no official action was taken.
