The aldermen approved the hiring last month of Jeff Rowland to fill a vacancy in the public works department. Another vacancy, created by the death of Phillip Wilkey, is expected to be filled next month.
Meisha Johnson was appointed by Mayor Josh Miller to fill a vacancy on the Smithville Planning Commission. He also named Alderman Jessica Higgins as Commissioner of Finance and Alderman Beth Chandler as Sanitation Commissioner.
Mayor Miller also reported that progress is being made on construction of the new police department building.
“I spoke to Mr. Wayne Oakley (Architect) today and he said the goal is to have the trusses set by the end of the month,” said Mayor Miller.
