The Beaumont City Council voted to approve an ordinance canvassing and accepting the results of a recent special bond election.

City Manager read the ordinance’s purpose aloud: "Council to consider approval of an ordinance canvassing the results of the 11/04/2025 special bond election." The manager then reported the vote totals the council considered: Proposition A (infrastructure, drainage, streets and sidewalks) — 6,351 votes (57.66%) for, 4,663 (42.34%) against; Proposition B (facilities and public safety) — 6,060 (55.18%) for, 4,923 (44.82%) against; Proposition C (parks, trails and recreation) — 5,745 (52.31%) for, 5,238 (47.69%) against; Proposition D (Riverfront Park extension) — 6,826 (62.49%) for, 4,097 (37.51%) against; Proposition E (Point Parkway North extension) — 7,389 (67.78%) for, 3,513 (32.22%) against. The manager also read results for a proposed 2% venue tax, which passed by a roughly 61%–39% margin.

After the reading, a council member moved to accept the canvass (the transcript does not specify the mover); the city manager said "Second." The presiding officer called the question, members voiced "Aye," and the presiding officer stated, "The motion is carried," completing formal acceptance of the canvass.

During council comments, an unnamed council member thanked County Clerk Roxanne Helberg and her staff "for a wonderful job" on the bond election: "They did a fantastic job, and I just wanted to say thank you so much. Appreciate you." The council then adjourned until the following day.

The ordinance approved at the meeting formalizes the city's acceptance of the vote counts reported to the council. The transcript contains two different dates for the special bond election (the reading references both Nov. 4, 2025 and May 4, 2025); that discrepancy was noted in the meeting record and is reflected here as not specified definitively in the minutes.
