Smithville aldermen approve repeal of economic development committee, add $70,000 to transportation fund and go into executive session
Summary
The Smithville Board of Aldermen voted 5-0 to approve Bill 3057-25 repealing the economic development committee and Bill 3058-25 amending the 2025 budget to add $70,000 to the transportation sales tax fund; the board then voted to adjourn into an executive session under the Missouri Revised Statutes.
The Smithville Board of Aldermen unanimously approved two ordinances and later voted to adjourn into executive session during its regular meeting.
Alderman Atkins moved to approve Bill 3057-25, described in the meeting as “an ordinance repealing article 2, economic development committee section 155.020, economic development committee.” The clerk called the roll; Aldermen Hartman, Kabilski, Atkins, Wilson and Shipley voted “aye,” and the motion carried 5-0. The clerk then read the bill as part of the meeting record.
Alderman Atkins also moved to approve Bill 3058-25, identified as “an ordinance amending the fiscal year 2025 operating budget to add $70,000 to the transportation sales tax fund expenditure budget.” The roll call returned the same 5-0 result: Hartman, Wilson, Atkins, Kabilski and Shipley voting “aye.” The board recorded the appropriation of $70,000 to the transportation sales tax fund in the meeting minutes when the clerk read the ordinance aloud.
Later in the meeting, a motion was made to adjourn to executive session “pursuant to section 610.0211 of the Revised Statutes of Missouri,” as stated on the record. The clerk conducted a roll call for that motion as well; the five aldermen again voted “aye,” and the board entered executive session.
No public comment was recorded on either ordinance during the meeting. The council did not provide additional detail in the meeting record about how the $70,000 will be allocated within the transportation sales tax fund, nor did the meeting transcript include any amendments or opposing votes.
