What they said
Minutes record what a council did. This is what was said — searchable, word by word, from the meetings that are recorded and published.
Machine transcript — not the official record
These transcripts are produced by automatic speech recognition, which misreads names, places and technical terms. Under Texas Gov’t Code § 551.021 the minutes are the legal record of a meeting. Use this to find where in a recording something was discussed, then watch that moment and read the minutes.
Mont Belvieu publishes no recording of its council meetings — not on its agenda portal, its YouTube channel, or its Facebook page. At a population of 13,700 it is not required to: § 551.128(b-1) starts the recording-and-archiving mandate at 50,000. The bodies below are the nearest ones that do publish.
