Smithville Council Meeting Cancelled Monday

The Smithville City Council meeting was called off Monday after only two of the city’s five aldermen were in attendance.

Mayor Jimmy Poss dismissed the meeting after Aldermen Gayla Hendrix, Jason Murphy, and Danny Washer did not appear.

“We don’t have enough to have a quorum. Nothing we can do. We’re done,” Poss said before banging the gavel. “Sorry guys, none of the aldermen showed up. That’s all they can do.”

At least three aldermen were needed in order to hold the meeting. The meeting will not be rescheduled for August and all agenda items will occur during the council’s next meeting on Sept. 3, the first for mayor-elect Josh Miller.
