Smithville Board unanimously approves budget amendment, sewer-line replacement and multiple development items
Summary
At its Nov. 18 meeting, the Smithville Board of Aldermen unanimously approved a consent agenda and a string of bills and resolutions, including a $26,000 FY2026 budget amendment and a $26,000 quote to replace the City Hall sewer line; all votes were 6-0.
The Smithville Board of Aldermen met Nov. 18, 2025, in City Hall and via videoconference. Mayor Boley called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and the board unanimously approved a consent agenda that included Nov. 4 meeting minutes, the October finance report and Resolution 1527, authorizing a grant agreement with Clay County Senior Services.
The board approved several agenda items without discussion. Bill No. 3087-25, listed for second reading to establish a South Employment Overlay District in Chapter 400 of the zoning code, was moved by Alderman Marv Atkins, seconded by Alderman Dan Hartman, and approved by roll call, 6-0. The agenda identifies the item as a second reading; the minutes record that the mayor declared the bill approved (the transcript contains an inconsistency about which reading was recorded as approved; see audit notes).
The board unanimously passed Bill No. 3088-25, an emergency ordinance sponsored by Mayor Boley to amend the FY2026 budget by adding $26,000 to the General Fund expenditure budget. The motion was made by Alderman Atkins, seconded by Alderman Hartman, and approved by roll call, 6-0.
The board also approved a series of land-use and development items: Bill No. 3089-25 approving the final plat for Richardson Street Plaza was approved for first reading (moved by Atkins, seconded by Hartman; vote 6-0), and Bill No. 3090-25, changing zoning classifications and approving the plat titled Umholt Homestead for property at 13616 North Virginia Avenue, was approved for first reading by the same vote.
On infrastructure and site-plan matters, the board approved Resolution 1528 to accept Volkmann Construction's quote to replace the City Hall sewer line for $26,000 and approved Resolution 1529, authorizing site-plan approval for an addition at Major Lumber Company, 205 East Meadow Street. Both measures passed on unanimous 6-0 votes.
