KILLEEN, TX â The race is over for three newly elected Killeen Council members, but for District 4 candidates Michael Boyd and incumbent Steve Harris, theyâll have to take an extra lap.
âI did not expect it, I am surprised but Iâm happy with the turnout,â said Michael Boyd, Candidate for Killeen City Council District.
âEvery vote count and this is a prime example,â said Steve Harris for Candidate for Killeen City Council District.
181 to 181, Killeen city officials announced the two tied Monday after all mail-in ballots were counted for the Killeen City Council election.
The Killeen City Council expected to vote Tuesday on whether to spend $100,000 as a contribution to the new traffic light that is up and running at the intersection of Golden Gate Drive and Clear Creek Road in west Killeen.
Last week, the item was brought to the council during its workshop meeting and there was a lengthy discussion about whether the council should have to pay anything for a project that is already complete.
Bubba Purser, a well-known local developer, paid for the light at around $420,000 and is asking the council to contribute $100,000 back to him. He said it is only equitable for the council to pay him that amount because they are going to get a light that they would have had to build in the future for âa quarter on the dollar.â

Tuesdayâs Killeen Council meeting, which should have had a relatively full agenda, in fact lasted only 20 minutes, with over a third of originally scheduled items pulled from discussion.
As the 5 p.m. meeting got underway, Mayor Pro Tem Shirley Fleming made a motion to pull all discussion items â nine in total â plus the public hearing from the agenda.
The council unanimously agreed to Flemingâs motion.
This left only the consent agenda items, which were then approved unanimously. A request for a future agenda item, regarding the mayor usurping his authority, was also not discussed.
Mayor Jose Segarra said the items were pulled because 72 hours notice is required between when an item is discussed and when it was voted on.
