Smithville aldermen approve budget amendment, multiple bids and personnel action in unanimous votes
Summary
At the May 6 meeting the Board approved an emergency FY2025 budget amendment, certified election results, authorized multiple bid awards including a $1,061,656 waterline contract, and approved personnel and equipment purchases; most measures passed unanimously.
The Smithville Board of Aldermen on May 6 adopted a set of budget, procurement and personnel measures in a series of largely unanimous votes.
The Board approved Mayor-sponsored Bill No. 3061-25 (emergency reading), amending the FY2025 operating budget to add $112,156 to the Combined Water and Wastewater fund and $4,500 to the General Fund. Alderman Marv Atkins moved the measure and Alderman Dan Hartman seconded; roll-call votes on the first and second readings were unanimous (6-0) and the bill was declared approved.
Board members also approved Bill No. 3062-25 certifying the April 8 municipal election results (Ayes 6, Noes 0). Resolution 1465 authorizing an updated employment agreement for City Administrator Cynthia Wagner carried on a unanimous vote.
On procurement, the Board approved Resolution 1466, awarding Bid No. 25-11 for the Church Street and Mill Street watermain to Legacy Underground Construction in the amount of $1,061,656, and Resolution 1467, awarding the Street Maintenance Program (Bid No. 25-12) to Asphaltic Surfaces for $224,596.25 with a $30,000 force account. Resolution 1468 authorized purchase of a new SCADA and PLC system for the water treatment plant from R.W. Vaught for $20,750. All three motions were approved 6-0.
The Board approved Resolution 1469 authorizing construction of the Diamond Crest splash pad parking lot in lieu of park-fee payment by the Clay Creek Meadows developer; the motion carried with five ayes and one abstention (abstaining member not specified in the transcript).
Why it matters: the actions finalize short-term budget adjustments, contract awards for infrastructure and street maintenance, and an equipment purchase for the water plant. Most measures were noncontroversial and moved by staff recommendations or the Mayor’s sponsorship.
The meeting adjourned to executive session under Section 610.021(1) RSMo; the transcript records the motion to adjourn and a unanimous roll-call vote to do so.
