Smithville’s Board of Aldermen approved a series of ordinances and resolutions in a regular meeting that included a unanimous re-adoption of the city’s code of ethics and approvals for multiple property and infrastructure contracts.
The board voted 6-0 to readopt Bill 3035-24, which re-establishes chapter 135 of the city code as the code of ethics. Alderman Atkins moved the second-reading ordinance and the clerk recorded each member voting in favor.
The board then approved two second-reading ordinances authorizing real-estate purchase contracts for city property on Church Street. Bill 3036-24, covering the north side of Church Street, passed 5-1 (Alderman Russell voted No; Aldermen Wilson, Hartman, Atkins, Kabilski and Shipley voted Aye). Bill 3037-24, covering the south side of Church Street, passed 4-2 (Aldermen Wilson and Russell voted No; Shipley, Kabilski, Hartman and Atkins voted Aye).
The aldermen also approved several resolutions. Resolution 13-94, the site plan for the Montessori Academy expansion, carried on a voice vote after a second was offered. Resolution 13-95, awarding the bid for Commercial Street sidewalks, also carried. Resolution 13-96, an agreement with engineering firm GBA to design a Bridge Street roundabout, passed after a public comment opposing the project.
Vote totals and roll-call details were read into the record by the clerk for items taken on roll call; other measures were approved by voice vote. The meeting adjourned after completion of the agenda.
