Millersville Council Accepts 2026 Minimum Municipal Oblations for Borough Pensions
Summary
Council approved the borough's 2026 minimum municipal obligations for the police and nonuniform pensions — $609,787 and $155,920 respectively — to be included in next year’s budget; amounts exclude anticipated state aid.
The Millersville Borough Council voted to accept the borough's 2026 minimum municipal obligation (MMO) for its pension plans, approving $609,787 for the police pension and $155,920 for the nonuniform pension.
The council accepted the MMO during its regular meeting after Rebecca, the borough manager, summarized the actuarial figures and said the amounts are based on actuary reports and do not include any state aid. "As you can see from what I provided at the backup for our police minimum municipal pension, we're looking at $609,787 as our MMO," she said, and added, "$155,920 is our MMO for the non uniform pension." Rebecca also clarified, "This does not include what we'd be getting in state aid ... we usually get that information in the next few months."
The nut graf: The MMO is the annual amount the borough must allocate to its pension funds to meet actuarial requirements for paying current and future retirees; council approval commits those figures for inclusion in the 2026 budget and informs fiscal planning ahead of next year’s budget adoption.
Council members moved and seconded a motion to accept the MMO amounts and to authorize staff to include them in next year’s budget. The motion was seconded by Marion, a council member, and carried on a voice vote. The motion text recorded at the meeting was: "Accept the 2026 minimum municipal obligation for the police pension and nonuniform pension." The motion carried by voice vote; no roll-call tally was recorded.
In discussion, a council member asked whether ongoing police contract negotiations could alter the MMO. Rebecca responded that the MMO figures reflect the present actuarial snapshot and that any contract changes taking effect Jan. 1, 2026, would affect future MMOs rather than the amounts approved for 2026. She said the borough's pension specialists at Thomas J. Anderson and Associates provided the actuarial study underpinning the figures.
Ending: With council acceptance, staff will incorporate the MMO totals into the borough’s 2026 budget documents and await state aid notifications that could offset part of the required contributions.
