Button Willow co‑owner and local flooring contractor to fund downtown alley makeover; council approves
Summary
Council approved a private donation from local business owners to resurface the alley by Vetor's with stamped concrete; the presenter said materials are estimated at about $3,500 and the city will not contribute funds.
The Smithville board approved a private donation to remodel the alley by Vetor's, after a council member reported that Matt Stribblin, co‑owner of Button Willow General Store and coffee shop, and Steve Madison, owner of Madison Flooring, offered to cover the work.
A presenter said the donors would pay for the materials and labor to install stamped concrete in the John Anderson alley and that the project would not require city funds. The presenter described an estimated materials cost of about $3,500.
Council members made and seconded a motion to accept the donation and authorize the work; the board voted in favor on the record and the presenter said they would notify Steve Madison to proceed. The project was presented as a voluntary private contribution to improve a downtown alleyway and no city budget allocation was recorded in the meeting minutes.
The board did not attach conditions or require a formal contract on the record; the presenter said he would relay the board’s approval to the donor.
