The successor to former Smithville Alderman Gayla Hendrix is to be named Monday night, October 5.

The Mayor and Aldermen will meet in regular monthly session at 6 p.m. at city hall and Mayor Josh Miller is expected to recommend an appointment to fill the vacancy with the approval of the aldermen. Hendrix resigned as alderman last month after Mayor Miller appointed her to the Smithville Municipal Court Judgeship. Whoever gets the appointment will serve out the remaining two years of Hendrix’s unexpired term.

In other business, the aldermen will act on first reading on an annexation ordinance for properties at Foster/Miller Road and Highway 70/Colvert’s Lake Road.

The board will be asked to approve the hiring of a new full time fire department employee and to adopt a bond resolution for the Tennessee Department of Transportation Paving Grant.
