(From Stotts City Mayor Tracy Knight)
Residents are hereby informed that a Special Meeting of the Board of Aldermen has been requested by two aldermen and scheduled for Friday, May 29, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at Stotts City Hall.
At approximately 10:36 a.m. today, the Mayor’s Office received email notification from the City Clerk regarding the requested special meeting. The meeting agenda was later publicly posted at approximately 12:00 p.m.
While notification was provided prior to posting, the agenda itself was prepared and posted without prior coordination or input from the Mayor’s Office regarding its contents or publication.
In the interest of transparency and ensuring residents remain informed about the operations of their municipal government, the posted agenda is being shared publicly alongside this statement.
As Mayor, I believe residents deserve open communication regarding city business, including when meetings are called, how agendas are prepared, and how official actions are communicated to the public.
The City of Stotts City administration remains committed to:
• Maintaining transparency with residents
• Ensuring accurate public records
• Addressing ongoing operational and governance concerns
• Working toward restoring public trust and accountability within city government
Residents are encouraged to attend the special meeting, remain engaged in the process, and continue voicing their concerns and questions regarding city operations and the future direction of the City of Stotts City, Missouri.
Additional information will be shared as it becomes available through official city communication channels.

This is very sad and childish behavior from public officials. Their actions clearly give the impression that they are trying to avoid accountability and hide from the results of the audit. Citizens deserve transparency, professionalism, and officials who are willing to address concerns openly instead of avoiding them.
This is exactly why people have lost trust in public officials and why communities end up going down these paths. When transparency is ignored and accountability is avoided, it creates frustration, division, and distrust within the community. Citizens should not have to fight just to get honesty and professionalism from the people elected or appointed to serve them.
This and many other concerns are why citizens are asking the aldermen and the clerk/collector to step down and be removed from office. We have gathered the required number of signatures for the petition, and it has now been submitted to the appropriate government offices. The people of this community deserve leadership that is honest, transparent, professional, and accountable to the citizens they serve.
This is holding to an ordinance in place. The mayor was given the ordinance also but I don’t see it mentioned here in this article. So let’s actually talk accountability while you hide behind anonymous and half truths.
Get it together Alderman. Act like adults.
From the other reports one stated a board meeting could not happen because no quorum.
To me it seems like they are doing the right thing by calling a special meeting to get initial city business done before the end of the month.
Why must people seek the worst in others?!?
It appears The Turner Report is becoming SC public "communications central" - any progress on the Convirs Web Design proposal for SC web site??
