В течение пяти сроков пребывания в должности мэра и ранее, будучи членом городского совета Роли (1985–1989 и 1991–1995), Микер, проживая и воспитывая семью в Бойлан-Хайтс, выступал за реконструкцию центра города и создание системы легкорельсового транспорта, соединяющей Роли с Даремом, Исследовательским треугольником и Чапел-Хилл под управлением Транзитного управления треугольника. Он также успешно добился строительства нового городского конференц-центра и отеля, а также реконструкции улицы Фейетвилл, проекта стоимостью 9,33 миллиона долларов, направленного на преобразование пешеходной зоны в городскую "главную улицу" с кафе, художественными галереями и открытыми пространствами. Микер был членом коалиции мэров против незаконного оружия. В апреле 2011 года Микер объявил о своем решении не баллотироваться на шестой срок.
