What's up, Smithville, it's your friendly neighborhood publisher, breaking down last night's City Council meeting. We had a lot of nerdy procedural items, but they are actually super important for Smithville!

From tax rates and potential utility bill tweaks to spicy budget debates and new developments, we've got your recap.

In this video:
-What are the tax rate boundaries?
-How much of a tax note will the council choose to take out?
-How much is my utility bill going to increase?
-Brewing drama over a $250K economic development hire and employee raises.
-Wastewater project updates, including a rate study that hints at future increases.
-New Parks Advisory Board approved! Check out our website in the coming weeks for a deeper story.
-Replat for the 69-acre industrial park near the airport, with Tractor Supply as the first tenant.

Mark your calendars: Next budget workshop is Wednesday, August 20 at 5 PM in Council Chambers. We hope to see you there Smithville!
