SHADE TREE FUND
SHADE TREE FUND
The Shade Tree Fund supports planting and
maintaining trees and shrubbery within the
limits of the City. The fund is in place for the
purpose of regulating, developing, and
providing for the planting, maintenance and
removal of trees and stumps in any street, park,
right-of-way or other public place within the
City, in order to better serve the needs of soil
conservation, climate moderation, air quality,
noise, etc. and to provide the mechanisms for
funding a uniform program for the purpose of
beautifying the community as a whole and
increasing property values within the City.
The City Tree Program has planted
over 2,100 trees within the City in the
last 7 years.
Through dedication to educational
tree programs and shade tree disease
control , Monticello is proudly listed
as a Tree City USA by the National
Arbor Day Foundation.
The Parks Department conducts
educational tree programs and tree
plantings at the elementary schools
in conjunction with Arbor Day.
The Parks Department offers a
resident tree sale each spring, selling
nearly 300 trees/year.
Following the Shade Tree Ordinance,
inspections are performed yearly
helping to reduce Dutch Elm Disease.

BALL FIELD FUND
This fund prepares and maintains the fields and facilities for athletic events,
averaging 575 organized games each season. Associations pay a fee to the
City for the Parks Department to provide daily maintenance of the fields.
Park staff and the MCC staff join efforts during the summer months to
provide this service to the Associations in Monticello. In the future, it may
be necessary to focus on a City operated Park and Recreation Department.

CEMETERY FUND
Riverside Cemetery
The Cemetery Fund expenses are offset by revenues mainly from excavations,monument
stakings,memorial programs,and perpetual care.The City maintains Riverside Cemetery as
the caretaker by selling grave sites,staking grave sites,performing cremation burials,setting
grave markers,landscaping,plowing cemetery roads as needed for burials in the winter,
irrigation system maintenance,and seeding graves.
Riverside Cemetery encompasses 18 acres along the banks of the Mississippi River and offers
nearly 5,400 grave sites.Currently,there are over 3,400 graves occupied and over 750 graves
purchased and deeded for future need.There are over 1,000 graves remaining open for sale.
Eventually the goal is to place the entire cemetery grid on GIS which will aid in the efficiency
of locating graves for burials and marker placement.

community, stable neighborhoods, and a safe, secure and balanced environment. Anyone planning to
build or improve his or her property should contact the department.
Mission Statement

Monticello their home, occupational center or place to visit with quality
service related to development, property maintenance, and code
enforcement. This is accomplished through the use of modern technology
and quality assurance management by a team of people dedicated to

accomplish these tasks efficiently, effectively and with accountability to

Priority Budget Item
What does the future hold for the department? Permit valuation is the best
indicator we have of workload for inspections and plan review. Historically
the building industry has its peaks and valleys. How can we prepare for the
peaks so we can still do a thorough plan review and issue the permits in a

work load?
