(From Stotts City Mayor Tracy Knight)

Mayor Tracy Knight has called a Special Meeting of the Stotts City Board of Aldermen for Friday, June 26, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at the Stotts City Fire Station.

The meeting has been called pursuant to Ordinance No. 22-002, which authorizes the Mayor to call special meetings when deemed necessary and provides that at least one regular or special meeting be held during each calendar month.

The Special Meeting is being called to address essential municipal business requiring Board consideration and action, including approval of bills and claims, financial oversight matters, audit compliance efforts, consideration of the vacant alderman position, governance and operational continuity matters, public comments, and personnel matters authorized by Missouri law.

Residents have expressed understandable concerns regarding the City's ability to conduct business, address financial matters, and continue implementation of corrective actions identified by the Missouri State Auditor. The purpose of this meeting is to provide the Board of Aldermen an opportunity to address those matters in an open and lawful public meeting.

"Residents deserve a government that is present, transparent, accountable, and capable of conducting the public's business," said Mayor Knight. "My responsibility as Mayor is to ensure every reasonable opportunity exists for the Board of Aldermen to meet, address community concerns, and make decisions necessary for the continued operation of the City."

Members of the Board of Aldermen, the City Clerk, and the City Attorney have been notified of the Special Meeting by email. Such communications are administrative notices only and do not constitute a meeting, discussion, deliberation, or vote of the Board of Aldermen.

The official Notice of Special Meeting and Agenda will be posted and distributed in accordance with Ordinance No. 22-002 and all applicable Missouri Sunshine Law requirements.
