Fiscal Year 2025/2026 – The City of Miller’s fiscal year runs from July 1st through June 30th. We just finished the year-end adjustments (budget to actuals and zeroing out any negative balances). I am happy to report the following:

  • Per the Profit & Loss, the city ended the year with an over-all net-positive of $407,414.31. Each class total is as follows:
  • Capital Improvements (restricted fund) - $38,503.79
  • Fire – 0 ($1,677.33 transferred from General to zero out the negative balance, restricted fund)
  • General - $82,711.57 (unrestricted fund)
  • Police – 0 ($29,063.63 transferred from General to zero out the negative balance, restricted fund)
  • Sewer - $85,131.18 (proprietary fund)
  • Street - $33,108.45 (restricted fund)
  • Water - $167,903.97 (proprietary fund)
  • Unclassified - $55.35 (employee liabilities)
  • At the July meeting, the aldermen approved to move the following monies:
  • $30,000 from the Sewer Class to the Sludge bank account.
  • $52,151.60 from the Sewer Class to the Sewer Reserve bank account.
  • $100,000 from the Water Class to the Water Reserve bank account.
  • $30,000 from the General Class to the Sidewalk bank account.


The 25/26 Profit & Loss may be viewed on the city’s website; www.cityofmillermo.org. The city has been fiscally responsible stewards on the monies collected. We have and are positioning ourselves to be able to be proactive instead of reactive when it comes to the city’s infrastructure and needs.  


Tree Removal (Park) – The city’s park has three dead trees. The city sought bids and we will be having a tree removal company coming to remove the three trees. At the time of this newsletter and date has not been determined. We will post on Facebook when we have the date. The park will be closed to the public during the removal process. We apologize for any inconvenience.  


Hwy 39 Sidewalk – TREKK has presented the sidewalk plans to MoDOT for their review. The plan includes two crosswalks crossing HWY 39, one at each school.  The sidewalk will continue on the west side of Hwy 39 north from the current sidewalk between Adamson and Dollar General. On the north side of 1st St., the sidewalk will lead to the crosswalk across Hwy 39, then head north on the east side of Hwy 39 and continue north to the north side of 6th St., where the crosswalk will be on Hwy 39. Since we are still in the “planning phase” there could be changes or tweaks to the plans. We anticipate the project will break ground/be complete in the Spring/Summer of 2027.  


Water Project – We anticipate the city’s water infrastructure project will be put out for bid later this Fall. The city and TREKK are working with DNR for them to approve/finalize plans. In addition, we are working with our grant administrator, SMCOG, and CDBG to check-off all the “boxes” so we are compliant to receive the awarded grant for construction in the amount of $750,000.
