Miami County finance director says general fund proposal sits at 38.148 mills
Summary
Finance Director Sydney Ming told commissioners the current general fund proposal totals 38.148 mills, slightly above the 2026 mill-levy constant, and outlined reserve additions, a 3% wage plan, and vacancy-related personnel changes ahead of a final levy decision next week.
Sydney Ming, Miami County director of finance, told the commission the proposed general fund currently "sits at 38.148 mills," slightly above the mill levy constant used for the 2026 budget.
Ming said the draft includes specific additions: an ambulance and Lifepack replacement, $500,000 to the road and bridge equipment reserve, roughly $200,000 added to the asphalt line, and another $200,000 for the health insurance reserve. "We're currently sitting at 38.148 mills," she said, and noted staff will finalize numbers as near-term health-insurance claim activity becomes known.
Ming also described personnel assumptions in the draft budget, including a 3% wage adjustment and a list of unfilled positions being reviewed (an RN at the health department, open OSA/administration slots, and seasonal equipment operators). She reminded the commission that the board must decide by next Wednesday on tentative levy paperwork to send to the clerk and said the board could set a maximum levy then choose a lower final rate later.
