Spring/Summer Newsletter 2018A note from the Wright County
Sheriffs Office about law
enforcement in Monticello:
For more than 40 years, Wright County Sheriff's
Office has provided contract law enforcement
services for the City of Monticello. This means
the Sheriff's Office performs duties similar to a
+; local police department.
Every day several uniformed patrol deputies are
assigned to work solely within the city limits of Monticello
There is coverage from the Sheriff's Office in Monticello
24 hours a day, 7 days a week. During peak times of the
ra day, there are additional deputies working in the city.
They respond to calls for service, enforce traffic laws,
investigate crimes, and attend council meetings and
community functions.
There are many benefits to having deputies working
within Monticello, including:
• Shortened response times
• Cost-effective services tailored to specific needs
• Closer interaction with the city and city officials
• Getting to know citizens of the community
• Staying up-to-date on local needs and current
crime trends
In addition, Sheriff Joe E.
Hagerty has assigned a
sergeant to oversee the
law enforcement services
in Monticello. The
responsibilities of the
sergeant are similar to
those of a police chief
and ensure the needs of the city and community are
being met. I
The Sheriff's Office also has two detectives, a Special
Investigations Unit, and a Major Crimes Investigations
Unit assigned to process crime scenes and investigate
cases within Monticello. Access to the Midwest Regional
Forensic Laboratory, a shared forensic crime lab, allows
efficient and timely returns of examined evidence.
Sheriff Hagerty and the Wright County Sheriff's Office
have a vested interest in maintaining public safety and a
high quality of life in Monticello. Many of the deputies I
live in the city, their children attend Monticello schools,
and they are active residents of this great community.
When you see a brown Wright County Sheriff's
squad car drive through your neighborhood, you can
feel confident knowing your local law enforcement
providers are there to serve you.
If you need to report a non -emergency crime or have
a law enforcement related question, please call the
non -emergency number at (763) 682-1162. For
emergencies, always call 9-1-1.

MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
The snow is gone and there's excitement in
the air as we get ready for summer in
Monticello.
The Bertram Chain of Lakes Athletic Park
continues to take shape, and it's fantastic to
see kids playing soccer and lacrosse on the
interim fields. The Parks Department will
continue making improvements during the
summer, but most of this year will be spent preparing the plans
for the first phase of construction scheduled to begin in 2019.
We also plan to spend time looking at ways to enrich the
downtown for everyone. The adoption of the Downtown Small
Area Plan in 2017 signaled a shift in the vision for the heart of
the community. We want to draw people into the area by
encouraging destination restaurants, shops, entertainment, and
housing options as well as embrace our place on the river.
The City Council, Planning Commission, and Economic
Development Authority (EDA) will use the plan as a guide to
support existing businesses, revitalize the area, and encourage
redevelopment.
LIVE STREAMING
One of the ways the EDA can encourage redevelopment is to
purchase specific properties in the downtown. Consolidating
parcels under a single owner creates a more efficient process
and makes Monticello attractive to developers. When willing
sellers stepped forward, the EDA opted to purchase several
pieces in the downtown. Now the EDA will focus on marketing
the properties to find the right redevelopment opportunities for
Monticello.
We're also looking at more immediate ways to add vibrancy
downtown with small projects and the introduction of the Arts
Initiative. There are many creative, local voices helping
downtown thrive.
Of course, these projects just enhance everything already here
in Monticello. Mark your calendars for annual favorites like the
Farmers Market, Walk 'n' Roll, and Riverfest. Then save the date
for some new events like Music on the Mississippi in West
Bridge Park. The details for these events and more are all here
in the newsletter.
Have a great summer, Monticello!

DOWNTOWN MONTICELLO
A Path for Implementation
5
The Downtown Small Area Plan has 4 primary goals:
1. Improve Pine Street for All Users
2. Shift the Center of Town to Walnut and Broadway
3. Encourage Small and Medium Scaled Investments
4. Become a River Town
Achieving these goals involves participation and investment from a variety of stakeholders, and
many have already taken initial steps toward downtown improvements.
• Last November the City Council approved $300,000 •
for downtown projects in 2018. These include
replacing streetlight banners, improving lighting
along the Broadway corridor, completing a Walnut
Street corridor plan, installing pedestrian curb
extensions and pathway extensions, and developing
an arts initiative. Together, these improvements
support increased activity and interest in the
downtown. The projects are intended to spur
additional private investment and engage the
community.
The Economic Development Authority has been
busy developing programs to support the vitality of
the downtown. The EDA is working with property
and business owners on the potential for loan/grant
programs for fagade and business improvements
along Broadway and Walnut Street. In addition, the
EDA is creating marketing materials to encourage
developer interest in key areas of the downtown
area. The EDA has also acquired key properties
critical to redevelopment along the riverfront.
A sub -committee of volunteers is working to support
the Planning Commission and City Council to
develop a zoning code consistent with the approved
Small Area Plan. The zoning code needs to be
revised to match the land use vision laid out by the
plan. The committee is made up of downtown
business and property owners as well as city
leaders. The sub -committee's work is expected to
result in an ordinance for the downtown by the end
of summer.
• The Parks & Recreation Commission is contributing
by beautifying the downtown street and pathway
corridors with plantings and boulevard
improvements. The Parks Department and
Monticello Community Center are creating programs
and activities that spark visits to the parks and the
community center. The Parks & Recreation
Commission is also the group providing direct
oversight for the creative arts initiative with the goal
of drawing people downtown. For more information
on that project, please see page 11.
While many of these projects are in the planning phase, ,ire hope to showcase
completed projects by the end of 2018, and plan for implementing additional
strategies in 2019 and beyond!

2018 CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

Monticello
ENGINEERING
Legend
Roadway
O Concrete Median/Curb
The primary purpose of the Fallon Avenue
Overpass is to provide an alternative
location to cross 1-94 in addition to TH 25
and CSAH 18. The bridge will allow local
traffic to cross the interstate using a
connection between 7th Street and Fallon
Avenue.
In addition to building the bridge over 1-94,
the project includes constructing three
roundabouts at the intersections of: Fallon
Avenue & Chelsea Road, Fallon Avenue &
7th Street, and 7th Street & Washington
Street to enhance traffic flow and
pedestrian safety.
Finally, the project incorporates trail and
sidewalk connections as well as
landscaping and bridge aesthetics.
Detours will be posted during construction.
Since the project will occur in phases, the
detours will be adjusted depending on the
work being completed.
Please plan to take alternate routes when
possible, give yourself extra time to reach
your destination, and stay alert to workers in
the area. Thank you for your patience
during the project!
The City expects to start construction of
the Fallon Avenue Overpass in June with
the majority of the project complete by
November 2018.

This spring the City Council approved plans for street,
trail, sidewalk, and utility improvements along Chelsea
Road between TH 25 and Fallon Avenue. This section of
Chelsea Road is in need of repair and is included in the
City's Capital Improvement Plan for reconstruction.
The Council anticipates completing the Chelsea Road
project in 2018 since the project area is close to the
construction area for the Fallon Ave Overpass. This
should limit major construction and traffic impacts to 2018
rather than stretching it out over multiple years.
The project will:
• Place a chip seal along Chelsea Road between TH 25
and Edmonson Avenue
• Install 4 -way stop signs at the intersection of Chelsea
Road & Cedar Street
• Reconstruct the section of Chelsea Road between
Edmonson Avenue & Fallon Avenue
• Widen this section of the roadway to 44 feet
• Add curb and gutter
• Stripe a center left -turn lane
• Construct a stormwater collection system
Extend a pathway along the north side of Chelsea
Road between Edmonson Avenue & Fallon Avenue

Sealcoating is a street maintenance program where the road surface
is sprayed with an emulsified hot asphalt and covered with a layer of
crushed trap rock. Streets are swept of excess rock within a week.
This process extends the life of the road surface by protecting it from
wear and premature deterioration. If you have any questions, please
contact the Street Superintendent at 763-295-3170.
HIGHWAY 25 COALITION UPDgT�
rMINNEsorA The Highway 25 Coalition is completing a year-long
study of the TH 25 corridor. The plan is to identify
short and long-term improvements that address
current and future transportation issues on TH 25
between 1-94 and TH 10. The group also wants to
accommodate future community growth in the region.
This crossing is a vital connection for both regional and local
traffic, and more than 35,000 vehicles per day travel across
the existing bridge.
The TH 25 Study initially laid out five options to either expand
the current Mississippi River crossing or develop a new river
crossing.
After gathering data about these options, the Coalition hosted
an open house in February for citizens to review and
comment on the options. Moving forward, public feedback will
be incorporated into a more detailed analysis of a narrowed
number of options. The results of this analysis will be
presented at another open house later this year.
While it will be several years before a new or expanded river
crossing project is started, the options and analysis will allow
the Coalition to advocate for funding and create the plans
necessary for construction.

SPRING
Spring is a great time to clean up yards and property after the
long winter. Monticello's Department of Building Safety
encourages property owners to pay particular attention to
outdoor storage and vehicle parking. Well -kept properties
help homes and neighborhoods maintain their value.
There are also two opportunities to help residents clear out
unwanted debris that's built up in homes and yards over the
last year.
Thank you for your efforts to keep Monticello a clean and
beautiful community!
SPRING LEAF PICKUP
Spring Leaf Pickup is a free service for city residents. Leaves
must be in compostable bags and at the curb
by 7:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 12 for collection.
Leaves only; no grass clippings, twigs, or other yard waste.
Please call Public Works at 763-295-3170 with any questions
or visit the city website at www.ci.monticello.mn.us for
additional information.
treet sweeping is one of the
most visible aspects of the
Street Department.
Clean streets and gutters give our town a neat
and well -kept appearance. They help reduce
traffic accidents, air pollution caused by dirt, and debris
accumulation.
Sweeping prevents pollutants and sediment from entering
the storm water system and the Mississippi River. A
successful sweeping program helps keep Monticello in
compliance with the Federal Clean Water Act.
Sweeping operations begin in the spring as soon as the
streets are clear of snow and ice. Spring sweeping is designed
to pick up the bulk of aggregate left behind from winter
sanding operations. It normally takes six to eight weeks
to make a complete round of the entire city.
The Street Department moves into general maintenance
• Monticello Recycling Day will be offered by
a local recycling firm on Saturday, April 28 from

Sweeping is a
slow process
with gutter line

As a motorist,
please slow
down when you approach a sweeper. When you hear or see
the sweeper in your neighborhood, please help us clear the
streets of garbage and recycling containers, cars, basketball
hoops, and other obstructions.
As a reminder, it is illegal to blow or rake leaves and grass
clippings into the street. It's also illegal to place trash,
branches and other debris in the street. With your
cooperation we can keep our streets clean and our water
pollutant free!
Curious about your water? Every year the
Water Department submits a report of
water quality testing and analysis to the

ILLICIT DISCHARGE detection &elimination
What is an Illicit Discharge?
An illicit discharge is the result of an illegal and/or improper
waste discharge into storm systems and receiving waters. The
state definition of stormwater is "stormwater runoff, snow
melt, surface runoff and drainage." Nothing else can go down
the storm sewer unless permitted by the MPCA (Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency).
What are examples of Illicit Discharges?
• Sanitary wastewater (sewage) and septic tank waste
• Car wash, laundry, and industrial wastewaters
• Improper disposal of auto and household toxics, such as
motor oil and pesticides
• Spills on roadways and other accidents
Landscape waste
Why is it a Problem?
Illicit discharges allow pollutants to enter lakes and streams,
causing public health concerns, unpleasant odors/color, and
harm to aquatic and animal life. Pollution can also lead to
excess growth of vegetation.
How do 1 report suspicious discharges
or illegal dumping?
During weekday hours, please call Monticello Public Works
at 763-295-3170 or Engineering at 763-271-3227. During
evenings and weekends, please call the Wright County
Sheriff's non -emergency phone number at 763-682-1162.
What can 1 do to help?
• Never dump anything
down storm drains!
• Use fertilizers sparingly
and avoid pesticides.
• Sweep up any fertilizer
that ends up on driveways,
sidewalks and roads.
• Plant grasses or plants on
bare spots in your yard. `IVQ
• Compost your yard waste.
• Direct gutter downspouts
away from paved areas or use a rain barrel.
• Take your car to the car wash rather than washing it on
your driveway.
• Check your car for any fluid leaks, and recycle your used
motor oil.
• Pick up pet waste.
• Maintain your septic system (if you have one) by having it
inspected and pumped out regularly.
• Make sure your pool is dechlorinated prior to draining.
• Do not dump anything in or near the edge of stormwater
retention ponds.

The new Parks & Recreation Commission plays an essential
arW
role in helping to develop and enhance parks and recreational
programming in the community. They work closely with both
the Parks Department and the Community Center, and they
areresponsible for making recommendations to the other city
reimpRon
boards based on their plans and
observations.
Last year two long-standing volunteer commissions merged to
better reflect the changing needs of the community. The City
Council discontinued the Monticello Community Center
Advisory Board and restructured the Parks Commission to
become the Parks & Recreation Commission. This included an
expansion to seven members with an added focus on
developing recreational activities and programming for
Monticello.
In addition, the commission members
are each assigned to monitor local
parks to stay connected to changing
needs and trends. As the city grows,
the commission's responsibilities and
activities will continue to grow as
well.
The Monticello Parks Department will be busy this summer with a variety of projects, including:
Rolling Woods Park
• New open-air picnic shelter
• Pathway extension
• Nature trail construction
Cardinal Hills Park
• New playground installation
Community Beautification Program
Featherstone Park
• New playground installation
• New open-air picnic shelter
Pioneer Park
• New ten -spin installation
Bridge Parks East & Wesl
• Improvements under the Hwy 25 bridge
Pathway micro -surfacing will take place
this summer on a number of trails in the
southeast part of Monticello including
• 85th Street
• Fallon Avenue
• Fenning Avenue
• School Boulevard
Please remember that pathways may be
closed during maintenance and follow the
signs accordingly.
Micro -surfacing of our pathways is an
important preventative maintenance
method to preserve and extend the life
of the City's extensive pathway system.

MONTICELLO ARTS INITIATIVI
Sue Seeger has been a working artist in Minnesota for 20 years
and her metal sculptures are featured in cities across the state,
including Battle Lake, Minneapolis, Elk River, and of course,
Monticello! Her metal deer can be seen at Montiview Park and
her swans are on display at the corner of Highway 25 and
Broadway.
Sue has volunteered extensively in Monticello over the past
two years, both as an artist and as part of the group building
the mountain bike challenge course at Montiview Park. Now
we're thrilled to introduce her in a brand new role, helping
create arts programming, events, and more for Monticello.
With her unique blend of creativity, energy, and insight, we're
excited for her to lead this new initiative!
Monticello Arts Initiative
Connectivity through creativity; this is the core value behind
the brand new Monticello Arts Initiative. The primary focus is
to help make the downtown area a vibrant, invigorating space where people enjoy spending time and being active.
Connecting local creatives to one another is the first step. By harnessing that group's energy and ideas, we'll plan events,

EAST BRIDGE
gardeners
The East Bridge Gardeners are a
group of 13 volunteers who help
care for the beautiful gardens at
East Bridge Park. The group plants the gardens in the spring,
weeds and maintains the gardens in the summer, and puts the
gardens to bed in the fall.
They meet at 8:00 a.m. on Mondays, weather permitting. They
work for a couple of hours and then gather to socialize with a
"cup of tea" (a tribute to East Bridge Park creator, Fran Fair). Many have
volunteered at the park for over
20 years, and this year the group
is happy to welcome three new
members. Planting dates are
scheduled for May 21-23, weather
permitting. Anyone is welcome to
join, and they never take
attendance, just come if you can!

announce a new

REGIONAL PARK
www.ci.monticeIIo.mn.us
Plans for the next phase of improvements at the Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Athletic Park
are underway! The proposed improvements will occur on the northerly 27 acres of the
approximately 118 -acre athletic park site. They are intended to support the existing interim
multi -use fields at the park as well as baseline infrastructure necessary for the next phase of field
development.
The construction is planned to include expanded parking areas, electrical service, well
development and an irrigation system for the northern portion of the park, grading for the
baseball field area, and stormwater ponding and systems. The improvements will also include
development of two new premier multi-purpose greens.
The City's engineering firm, WSB & Associates, working
with the Parks and Community Development
Departments, has started preparing the plans and
specifications documents for the park improvements.
The Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Athletic Park is being
developed in phases as funding is secured and based on
the needs of the community.
If you have any questions regarding the regional athletic
park, please contact the Monticello Parks Department
at 763-295-3170. More information is also available at

ECONOMIC 1�1
DEVELOPMENT
The City of Monticello Economic Development Authority's
(EDA) mission is to Pursue, Coordinate and Administer
economic development activities in and for the City of
Monticello. Let's unpack these terms:
• Pursue: This means to actively engage in programs and
efforts to facilitate job creation and development that adds
value.
• Coordinate: This means to network and collaborate with
others at the national, state and local level, including private
sector interests.
• Administer: This means to effectively and efficiently
complete economic development activities. This may include
commercial, housing, or mixed-use projects along with projects
that focus on amenities that enhance quality of life.
The role of the Economic Development Manager is to be
involved in planning, promoting, developing and implementing
economic development and redevelopment goals for the City.
This includes generating leads, promoting business
retention and expansion, and raising supportive public
awareness for strategic planning and development. It is
especially important for the Economic Development Manager
to interact with and support the EDA's understanding of
development opportunities and the potential impacts of
specific projects.

A Emergency Alert
Notification Sign Up loop -
Stay
informed during emergencies. Wright County uses a
Citizen Alert System powered by EVERBRIDGE to make sure
citizens know about issues that may affect their safety. This
system allows the county to contact residents in seconds so
you can find out about an emergency right away.
The success of this service relies on YOU. Having your
latest contact information is the only way to ensure that
you are contacted in an emergency.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
When Wright County issues a message about a potential
safety concern, the Citizen Alert System sends a message
through your primary contact path. If you don't confirm
receipt of the message, the system will try to reach your
second contact path and continue trying to reach you until
you confirm receipt.
Please sign up on the City of Monticello website or the
Wright County website — it only takes a minute to enroll.
Thank you in advance for your participation in
this important program!
