The Belleville City Council recognized Randy Smith, the city’s director of wastewater, at its May 5 meeting, noting Smith’s long service to the city and saying he will be on vacation before his official separation at the end of June.

Mayor (presiding) told the council the recognition was “bittersweet” and said Smith has worked for the wastewater division for more than 36 years and served as director for the past five years. “For those who don’t know Randy, this is technically his last official meeting,” the mayor said.
