The Amarillo City Council convened on June 24, 2025, for a regular meeting marked by the official welcome of newly sworn-in Councilman Prescott and a focus on community engagement through the "Every Drop Counts" calendar contest.

The meeting commenced with an invocation led by Police Chief Jimmy Johnson, who emphasized the importance of wisdom and compassion in the council's decision-making. Following the invocation, the council recited the Pledge of Allegiance.

The first agenda item recognized the winners of the "Every Drop Counts" calendar contest, which aims to promote water conservation awareness among students. Andrew Cook, the new water utilities program manager, highlighted the significance of the program and thanked former program head Ben Orr for his contributions. Cook announced the winners, including grand prize winner Monica Solomon and monthly winners from January to December. The calendars featuring the students' artwork will be available in August at various city locations.

After the recognition of the contest winners, the meeting transitioned to public comments. The city secretary reminded attendees of the guidelines for public participation, allowing each speaker three minutes to address the council. Nathan Smith was the first to speak, commending the police for their handling of a recent protest and urging the council to seek diverse news sources to better inform their decisions. He expressed concerns about the city's water purification systems and infrastructure, emphasizing the need for careful consideration in future planning.

Chris Pittman followed with additional comments, although the details of his address were not captured in the transcript.

The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue engaging with the community and addressing pressing issues, particularly regarding water infrastructure. The council's focus on youth involvement through the calendar contest reflects a broader initiative to foster civic responsibility and environmental awareness among Amarillo's younger residents.
