Today during an open session, the County Commission approved the 2023 Fiscal Year Budget.

Budget Message 2023

As the County has been operating consistently under the set budget, it is the goal of the Commission to limit deficit spending to take a more fiscally conservative approach moving forward. It is our commitment to have greater oversight to appropriate the needed funds to every office more efficiently. This will better protect the interests of the taxpayers of our great County.

Pettis County continues to reap the benefits of cost saving measures that have been put in place over previous years. Additional cost savings are identified and explored continuously. Under the leadership of the Associate Commissioners, new processes are used in reclaiming deteriorated roads. New upgrades and procedures have allowed more miles of road improvements and a greater emphasis in bridge replacements. We will continue to increase the efficiency of our county government. I am proud to say that the citizens of Pettis County have, and will continue to receive, quality services from folks who really care about serving our neighbors.

The 2023 General Revenue Budget is balanced at $ 10,339,677.24. The 2023 Road and Bridge Budget is balanced at $ 29,210,517.44, which includes offsetting entries for potential MoDOT 80/20 Bridge Replacement Funding.

This is a complaint for the road commissioner for the Pettis County Roads. Approximately a month o so ago I placed a call to the Road Commissioner and received a phone call back from him - and was very dissatisfied with his response. I am a property owner in the Pettis County area located at Elm Branch Road - which is approximately 2 miles east of Windsor, MO - but is still in the Pettis County district. For the past 50 years, we have dealt with the road issue on this road and have had to submit complaints over the years. Mr. Dick's response was that there were a lot of roads that need to be repaired after the hard winter, yes, that is true - but as I explained to him, Elm Branch Road is in very poor condition and is nothing but a sloppy muddy mess. Approximately 2 weeks ago a grader went through the area with the blades up and never touched the ground- taxpayers money at work???. A short time later another one came through, mixed up the dirt, leaving huge clumps of dirt at the side of the road - now that there is no gravel on the road, it's nothing but pure mud and holes filled with water. Not only is it a nuisance for residents, but we have semi-trucks that come through this road for the Tyson chicken farm located nearby - we have cattle farmers that run up and down the road with stock trailers to do their business - and yet no one seems to care. Wonder how it would feel to the road commissioner if I brought a bucket of mud into his office and poured it on the floor and asked him to walk through it. When it comes time for taxes to be paid - they want it by a certain time - when it comes time for election - they want our vote. Well, now the time has come - we need something done with the roads and it needs to be soon. Some places in the road are about to fall through. There are elderly people who also live on that road and cannot afford physically to get stuck. Mr. Commissioner I am appealing to your sense of goodwill and hope we don't have to go any higher than this - this should be an embarrassment not just for you but for the entire county.
