From the desk of mayor Smiley
April 9, 2025
Congratulations, Clarksville.
As the citizens of Clarksville have voted, the Mayor and members of the Board of Aldermen have been elected and are prepared to serve. I personally want to express appreciation to all who exercised their right at the polls and thereby confirmed the direction for the future of Clarksville. My gratitude to those who worked in my campaign and those who chose to vote for me is immense, and I will do my best to ensure that you made a positive decision.
Clarksville, MO
After years of telling Clarksville’s story and why it needs a flood wall to protect the town and its citizens, Smiley’s efforts — along with fellow members of the Mississippi River Cities and Towns Initiative (MRCTI) and legislators at the state and federal level — have turned the goal of protecting the community into a reality.
Mayor’s Report to Board
As City Officials, we own the responsibility for making decisions that impact people’s daily lives. In this process, it is crucial that our community is governed in a fair, equitable and just manner. Therefore, we Officials must actively practice respectful communication and behavior. In addition, we must stay strong and committed and strive for an even more positive and inclusive community.
Thoughts from the Mayor
In 2023 a project is underway which is intended to protect a major part of town that has been frequently affected by flooding and thus bringing special attention to this small town engaged in a massive & unique effort.
