Commissioner Maurice 'Buddy' Marr will not continue as commissioner in 2025
Summary
Commissioner Maurice 'Buddy' Marr told the Nov. 25 meeting he will not continue as a commissioner in 2025, encouraged community involvement and said he will continue to support the city in other capacities.
At the close of the Nov. 25 meeting, Commissioner Maurice 'Buddy' Marr told colleagues he was honored to serve and announced he will not continue as a Smiths Grove commissioner in 2025.
Marr thanked fellow officials and residents, praised City Attorney Hamp Moore as an asset to the city, and encouraged more citizen involvement. Mayor David Stiffey said the commission will swear in three commissioners at its December meeting and will begin an appointment process in January to fill the forthcoming vacancy.
Why it matters: the departure of an experienced commissioner creates a forthcoming vacancy that the commission will fill through an appointment process beginning in January, and may shift the composition of the body sworn in during December.
