Miner board approves May minutes, reports, CID draft and equipment purchases
Summary
The Miner Board of Aldermen approved May minutes, reports and bills, donated $500 to the Sikeston Elks Lodge for fireworks, approved the Miner Gateway CID draft budget for FY2026, and authorized several police dispatch and facility equipment purchases and lighting repairs. The EMA director was asked to schedule an EOP review meeting.
At its June 9 meeting the Miner Board of Aldermen handled routine municipal business and several small appropriations and equipment requests.
The board approved May meeting minutes, monthly reports and bills by roll call votes. It approved a $500 donation to the Sikeston Elks Lodge for an upcoming fireworks display. Alderwoman Peggy Holman moved the donation; Alderman Brian Bell seconded; the vote was unanimous among present members with Beth Keller absent.
Board members also approved the Miner Gateway Community Improvement District (CID) draft budget for fiscal year 2026. The minutes record approval of the draft budget as presented but do not list a total dollar amount or funding breakdown in the public record.
A series of police-department purchases were approved: two dispatch chairs and two carpet mats at $1,049.06; five additional computer monitors and two televisions at $1,684.59 (the motion passed after the mayor cast a tie-breaking vote); and authorization for Hart Electric to repair and replace lighting at the police department after roof repairs are addressed (cost not specified). The board also asked Interim Chief Nathan Rapert to price commercial-size dehumidifiers for large open areas in department facilities and asked Rapert to schedule a meeting to review the Emergency Operations Plan.
The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn into executive session under RSMO 610.021.3 (personnel) and RSMO 610.021.1 (legal).
