Aldermen approve Shops at Smithville CID and redevelopment plan
Summary
The board approved a community improvement district and a Chapter 353 redevelopment plan for the Shops at Smithville with roll calls showing five ayes and one abstention; ordinances were read into the record and a CID fund was created for separate accounting.
The Smithville Board of Aldermen voted to establish the Shops at Smithville Community Improvement District (CID) and approved a redevelopment plan under Chapter 353 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
Alderman Atkins moved to approve bill 3079‑25 establishing the Shops at Smithville CID for second reading; Mayor Hall seconded and the roll call recorded five ayes and one abstention before the motion carried. The ordinance makes findings and authorizes actions related to establishment of the district. Alderman Atkins then moved approval of bill 3080‑25, the Shops at Smithville redevelopment plan under Chapter 353; after roll call the motion carried with the same vote pattern and the ordinance was read, declaring the area blighted for redevelopment purposes.
The board also approved bill 3083‑25 to create a Shops at Smithville CID financial fund to separately account for CID revenues and expenditures; that first reading passed unanimously on roll call. The CID establishment and Chapter 353 designation allow the city to use tools available under state law to support redevelopment projects, subject to ordinance language and any conditions set by the board.
What happens next: the new CID and the fund will be recorded as ordinances and staff will implement accounting and administrative steps to track CID revenues and expenditures.
