development.
C. City Council
Jeff O'Neill stated that the City Council elected to charge residential properties
including the mobile home park for garbage disposal of three dollars per
household. This would shift the use of tax dollars being paid by commercial and
industrial users. Projects such as the hiring of an assistant fire chief would be
funded with the additional support. O'Neill also commented that many of the
residential fees paid through taxes would overtime be paid by residents for user
fees. Brian Stumpf confirmed.
O'Neill added that Rachel Leonard was newly elected as the President of the
Monticello Chamber of Commerce and Industry.
O'Neill said that the City is looking to hiring a City Engineer/Public Works
Director.

has been completed by nearby cities to help inform the study. The purpose of the
study would be to guide the EDA in determining if additional land inventory is
needed. A completed study would be considered at a future EDA regular meeting.
Jeff O'Neill stated his appreciation for Bill Demueles serving on the EDA.
Demueles has sold his interests and is no longer a resident of Monticello, making

Monticello is continuously evolving. As a city, it's
essential for us to periodically evaluate where we
are, where we want to go, and determine the best
way to get there. This year City Council and city
staff participated in a strategic planning process
linking our mission and values with our goals and
priorities for the next several years.
Strategic planning encourages us to prioritize, to
examine ideas and possible projects, and to plan
ahead. It offers a connection between the immediacy of a budget and the distance of a Comprehensive Plan
that spans more than a decade into the future. It focuses on medium range projects that we can accomplish in
the next 3 to 5 years.
Our hope is this document is strong enough to provide unity and guidance but flexible enough to adjust to
changing circumstances in our community.
Stardng the process...
Before identifying our goals and priorities, city staff wrote a mission statement for the City of Monticello.
While most departments have individual mission statements guiding their work, staff wanted to create a
shared mission that would highlight our unity and affirm our purpose in the community. We also identified the
shared values that guide our actions as we execute our mission.
The mission of the City of Monticello is to responsibly use our resources to provide
quality services and programs that foster a dynamic community rooted in history and
preparing for a vibrant future.
