Although Smithville residents will not experience an interruption of city services, they will have to do city hall business at the drive-through window through the end of the month.
Due to the threat of the coronavirus and in the interest of public safety, Mayor Josh Miller has announced that the Smithville City Hall building will be closed to the public for in-person visits or any business transactions effective Tuesday morning, March 17 through March 31.
This will apply to the city hall offices of the mayor, city administrator, public works, police, tax, or water and sewer department.
City officials will still be working normal business hours but if you have a need you will have to call city hall at 615-597-4745 or the police department at 615-597-8210 or you may stop by the drive through window to speak to a city employee. Payments may also be made at the drive through window, by phone, at the city hall night depository, or online at www.smithvillecityhall.com.
“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and we urge residents not to panic because all city services will continue to be provided. We are merely looking to protect the health and safety of the public and our city employees,” added Mayor Miller.
