Agenda Highlights 8/26/25

At the Fort Smith Board of Directors study session meeting scheduled for 8-26-25, the Board will review the annual Departmental Service Objectives and Key Performance Indicators reports from all of the City departments ahead of the upcoming 2026 budget-making season.

The Board will hear an update on the Capital Improvement Plans for Streets, Bridges, and Drainage projects that will be funded through the 5/8 sales tax for those purposes.

The Board will hear updates about the 48 inch water transmission line from Lake Fort Smith and the need for upgrades to the Lake Fort Smith water treatment plant.

The transmission line will provide water to the east side of town and be a redundant way to get water into the city. The current lines coming from Lake Fort Smith are from the 1950s and early 1960s and are currently delivering water at their maximum capacity. The Lake Fort Smith treatment plant is currently operating near its maximum capacity during the summer months.
