MAYOR TOM POULSON

Phone: 330-669-2311 ext 104
Email: t.poulson@thevillageofsmithville.com

I am a graduate of the Wayne County Schools Career Center and Wooster High School.

 

I own and operate the Bouquet Shop.  I have been a Smithville resident since 1982.

 

I have served on Village Council two separate periods for a total of 22 years, having served as president of council for the last 8 years.  I currently serve as Mayor.  It is my goal to work along with the other elected officials and village staff to provide the best services in a cost-effective manner.

 

As we face the challenges to upgrade infrastructure and services we will always remember the values upon which Smithville was built.

My wife and I have lived in Smithville since 2020 and are proud to have made our home here.

MATT HAAS

Council Member

Liaison:  Parks and Trees

My wife and I have raised our two children in Smithville since 2006 and we have found it to be an excellent community to do so.

 

I have worked in the pharmaceutical research industry since 1995, after obtaining a Biology degree at the College of Wooster, where I also played football.  I enjoy following our kids in their various school activities, walks with my wife, just about any sport and fishing rain or shine (preferably shine).

 

This is my first opportunity to serve on Village Council, after being appointed to fill an open seat on Council in the Spring of 2020.  I currently serve as the Parks and Trees Liaison, aiming to work with others in the community to maintain and improve our parks with safety and fiscal responsibility in mind so they can continue to be enjoyed by all now and in the years to come.  I welcome any questions or concerns you may have regarding our parks and/or the Village in general.

My wife has lived in the Smithville area her entire life and I have lived in Wayne County for nearly 20 years. We live in town with our three children and love this community. Our family is very active in Green Local Schools and our church. I joined council in 2023 when a spot was vacated and have loved serving this great village of ours. Smithville is a great place to live and I want to help preserve that as much as I can.
