Fall/Winter Newsletter 2017-2018" Citizens often feel a thousand miles away from
cityleaders who are justa fewblocks down the
road. Ourjob is to bridge thatgap."
With only a few words, this quotation from the
Minneapolis city website illustrates a central part
of local government: the importance of maintaining
a connection between citizens, their city leaders,
and city staff. Twice a year, the City of Monticello
sends this newsletter to residents as a way of
continuing to strengthen that connection.
As we create the newsletter, we try to blend
newsworthy information, helpful annual reminders,
and fun upcoming events for residents. Take a look
inside for information about the preliminary levy,
upcoming projects, the downtown small area plan,
and so much more. Each city department has the
opportunity to contribute, and we also try to
highlight as many popular topics as we can.
3JOF
Ultimately, we hope the newsletter supports a
stronger link between you and your city by
answering your questions, providing new
information, and inspiring us all to feel excited
about the future of our community.
We'll work to continue the conversation too.
The newsletter isn't the only way we try to reach
out to provide news and information. We're
dedicated to maintaining an informative website,
an engaging Facebook page, a helpful weekly
E -Newsletter, and more. If you're looking for a
way to stay up to date on city news, we invite
you to try one of these resources.
And then we want to hear from you! We know
good communication isn't just sending information
out and hoping you'll attend a public meeting. We
encourage you to send us an email, leave a
comment on our Facebook page, or use the Help
Desk on our website. We'll strive to answer your
questions and use the feedback to find ways to
improve our communication with the community.
We're strongest together and never want you to
feel like city leaders are a thousand miles away.
We're just a few blocks down the road.

STRATEGIC PLAN
MISSION & GOALS
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 defining our mission and our goals for the next several years.
Council members and staff held an honest discussion about our community's strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats. The ideas from the discussion resulted in a series of goals that allow us to maintain
what we love about Monticello while encouraging growth, development, and innovation.
STRATEGIC GOALS:
• Create & Preserve Sustainable Livability
Livability is a little word with a big meaning; it includes everything that contributes to quality of life. We
will implement a variety of ideas to create and preserve livability within our community.
• Build a Connected Community
We want to harness the power of connection. We will build a community that is connected to history,
connected to place, and connected to each other.
• Strengthen our Image as a Destination
Monticello already has amenities that attract visitors. We have beautiful parks, miles of pathways, a
fabulous community center, and a thriving commercial economy. We will promote what's here and
incorporate new features to strengthen our image as a destination.
• Support a Vibrant Economy
The vitality of a city is directly related to the health of its economy. We will support a strong, diverse
economy in our community.
• Be a Regional Leader
Success isn't achievable alone. We will build and strengthen relationships with other cities and
organizations. We strive to lead by example and offer innovative ideas to our partners.
• Invest in People
People are the heart of a community, and we will show our commitment by
investing in them. We will work to meet the needs of citizens, and we will
provide opportunities for staff to grow and utilize their talents here.

The City will hold a public hearing on December 11th
at 6:30 PM in the Mississippi Room of the Monticello
Community Center. The purpose of the public hearing will
be to present the City's proposed 2018 Budget and
Property Tax Levy.
Property owners will receive truth -in -taxation notices from
Wright County in mid-November. The notices show each
taxing district (city, county, etc.) and
compare the effects of the proposed 2018
levy (for each taxing district) with the $10,000,000
payable 2017 property taxes.
After a short presentation, residents $8,000,000
and property owners can comment and ask $6,000,000
questions about the proposed 2018 budget
and proposed tax levy. The proposed city $4,000,000
levy of $9,547,000 represents a 4.3%
$z,00n,000
increase (or $397,000) over last year's levy.
The HRA levy for 2018 is proposed at
$323,000, or $40,000 more than 2017.
When combined with the city's proposed
levy, many residents and businesses will see little change in
the total amount they owe because the city's tax base grew
by over 7%.
Xcel Energy plant improvements added over $29 million
in taxable market value to the City's tax base for taxes
collectible in 2018. The results will be reflected on the city
portion of your truth -in -taxation notice.

I RECEIVED A PLANNING COMMISSION PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE - WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
Many of the development and land use requests reviewed
by the Planning Commission require the city to hold a public
hearing. Public hearings are an opportunity for citizens to
provide input to the city, often through the Planning
Commission, on a land use issue. To advertise the public
hearing, the city publishes notices of the hearing's subject,
date, time, and location in the Monticello Times, as well as on
the city's bulletin board (at the MCC and on the city website).
Residents within a specific range of a development application
may also receive a mailed notice.
If you receive a notice of public hearing, you are encouraged
to review the materials for the land use application online,
contact the Community Development Department with any
questions, and attend the public hearing in person. After all,
as the old saying goes, "Decision are made by those who show
up." Attending the hearing is an important way to learn more
about a project or issue being reviewed by the commission,
and to voice your comments and thoughts on projects
contemplated for the community.
You can learn more about the Planning Commission by visiting
their webpage on the city website.

The 2018 construction season is likely to be a particularly important one in Monticello.
The City anticipates constructing the Fallon Avenue Overpass,
which will be a significant change to our local roadways.
The overpass was conceived more than two
decades ago as a future local crossing of
1-94. It was identified in Monticello's 1994
Transportation Plan, and the Federal Highway
THE BLUFFS , r� Administration supports its construction to

The primary purpose of the Fallon Avenue
Overpass is to provide an alternative place
to cross 1-94 besides TH 25 and CSAH 18.
The bridge will allow local traffic to cross
the interstate using Fallon Avenue as a
connection between 7th Street and Chelsea
Road.
In addition to building the bridge, the project
includes constructing 3 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.
In June 2017, City Council authorized final
design services from WSB & Associates, the
city's engineering consultants. The city
engineer anticipates that the final project
plans will be presented for approval in early
2018. Pending the necessary approvals, the
city expects construction to begin in the
spring of 2018 with substantial completion of
the project by late fall. The project should be
officially complete in the summer of 2019.
The City will host a public open house before
construction begins so residents can learn
more about the project and the anticipated
construction impacts.
All dates are subject to change, but
residents can stay informed by visiting the
Fallon Avenue Overpass project page on the
city's website or liking the City of Monticello
on Facebook.

HIGHWAY 25COA.T01"INNESOTA
Drivers in Monticello understand the significance and the
challenges of the Highway 25 corridor between Highway 10
and 1-94. It's the only local Mississippi River crossing and 0 City of Becker
carries both local and regional traffic; these factors 0 Becker Township
combine to cause congestion during peak times. The pressure
on this vital stretch of roadway has grown sharply in recent
years, and continued growth will cause additional strain.
However, Monticello can't solve the problem alone.
The Highway 25 Coalition was initiated to develop a unified
effort among local and state interests to address the
transportation needs of the region. The members of the
group were already meeting informally, but in 2016 the
coalition was formalized with a joint powers agreement.
The creation of the Highway 25 Coalition was an important
step forward. Future transportation improvements need
regional cooperation and joint planning to have the best
chance for necessary funding.
In February 2017, the coalition selected SRF Consulting Group
to complete a Highway 25 Area Study. The study consists of
gathering and analyzing data to identify the current and future
transportation issues in the area, developing short and long-
term improvements, and creating an implementation plan
with priorities and potential funding sources.
As the project moves forward, there will be opportunities for
public feedback, and we will continue to post information on
our website so citizens can stay informed on the progress.
The study and the coalition won't solve the challenges on
Highway 25 immediately, but they are an essential first step.
The coalition includes cities, townships, counties, and other
stakeholders.
• City of Big Lake
• Town of Big Lake
• City of Monticello
• Sherburne County
• Wright County
• MN Department of Transportation
• Examine impacts of continued growth on traffic patterns in
member jurisdictions.
• Perform traffic studies to define and identify priority
improvements.
• Prepare collaborative project design and delivery
recommendations.
• Study various transportation risks associated with improvement
alternatives and associated timing of the construction of
improvements.
• Identify grant programs for funding activities.
• Develop a unified effort among local and state interests in
obtaining funding of improvements to include: (i) providing
input and leadership within each member community on
matters pertaining to corridor improvement planning and
implementation; and (ii) advocacy at the State and Federal
levels.
• Partner with MnDOT on regional transportation decisions and
involvement in regional policy decisions and discussions.
• Incorporate public input in planning efforts.
• Identify related and ancillary activities or common issues
associated with the Highway 25 corridor.
The timing of the traffic signals on Highway 25 is one of the most
common complaints we receive at City Hall. Please note, the timing
of the signals in Monticello is controlled by the MN Department of
Transportation (MnDOT).
If you experience problems related to the timing, please contact
MnDOT at (320) 223-6500. Be ready to provide details like
the location of the signal, specific problem, and time of day.
You're also welcome to contact City Hall, and we can forward the
information to MnDOT for you.

MONTICELLO PARK NEWS
Ellison Park is one of the busiest parks in Monticello and home to the annual
Riverfest celebration which brings people from all over to visit our community. This year
the Parks Department added a new amenity to this scenic riverfront park thanks to
generous donations from the Monticello Lions and the Ellison family.
Parks Department staff built a new open air shelter that features a large grill space,
electrical amenities, seating, and beautiful views of the river. Named the Lion's Den, the _
building will be used during Riverfest and can be rented by citizens for private parties and
weddings. A big thank you to everyone involved for helping to enhance one our favorite w ti
parks! fw,Aw 4k x„ nk; s x;:a
Trail work has wrapped up for the season at Montiview.
Thanks to the volunteer group DirtWirx, the first phase of
the singletrack trail is now open. Please visit the Montiview
Facebook page to stay up to date on future events, trail
conditions and volunteer needs at the park. If you would like
to volunteer for trail building in the future, please contact
DirtWirx at: dirtwirxl@gmail.com.
Thank you to CentraCare Health -Monticello for generously
donating a bike repair station at Montiview this year! Now
the tools you need to fix your bike are readily available if you
run into a little bit of trouble on the trail.
On September 24, Paws for Parks hosted their third and final Wag & Walk Festival. It
was a beautiful day with a good turnout. Always a hit with the participants was the K-9
demonstration from the Wright County Sheriff's Office. Officer Cotten was in attendance
with his new K-9 Chase. The group dedicated a memorial to the officer's fallen partner,
K-9 Saber, who passed away in 2016.
The City of Monticello would like to express its sincere gratitude to the Paws for Parks
subcommittee for all of their volunteer work raising the funds to build the dog park in
Monticello and continuing to represent the dog park at events. They've worked tirelessly
to educate the public on dog park etiquette, the importance of dog licensing, and cleaning
up after your pets. The park has been very well received not only by Monticello dog
owners, but by dog owners from other communities as well.
We'd like to remind park users to always clean up after your pets so maintenance staff
doesn't get "sprayed" when they're mowing and weed whipping. To avoid the spread of
disease, we also ask you not to share water dishes; please bring your own dish to the park
and take it back with you. Before the first hard freeze, the water will be turned off for
the season.
All dogs using the park must be at least six months old and licensed with the City of
Monticello or their city of residence. Licenses can be purchased at Monticello City Hall.
Please bring proof of rabies vaccination when applying for your license. The fee
is $20/license. The current license being issued is valid until December 31, 2018. If you

Parking is not allowed on any

After a snowfall, all Monticello
streets are plowed on a schedule
outlined in Monticello's Snow-
plowing and Ice Removal Policy.
www.ci.monticeIIo.mn.us
After two inches of snowfall, vehicles parked
in locations that create an extreme hazard
may be towed immediately by the Wright
County Sheriff's Office or at the request of
state, county, or city street maintenance
personnel. Stay informed of the weather
forecasts and move your vehicle off of the
street when necessary.

The City of Monticello asks
residents and businesses
to help clear snow and ice
from around fire hydrants
adjacent to their property.
The city has nearly 900
hydrants simply not
enough manpower to keep oil
up with clearing all of them
during the winter. However, we ask that you not
use power equipment such as a snow blower
within 3 feet of the hydrant as it could damage
the hydrant or your equipment.
Digging out the hydrant is not only the
neighborly thing to do, it's crucial in an
emergency. Firefighters need a minimum of 3
feet around the hydrant to quickly gain access
and have room to work during a fire. If a hydrant
is lost or buried in the snow, firefighters can lose
valuable time trying to locate it when they first
arrive.
Please keep in mind your neighbors who may
not be able to dig hydrants out near their own
homes. Neighborhood associations may want to
consider adopting the area fire hydrants to
shovel them out.
If you see a damaged hydrant or water flowing,
please call the Water Department immediately at
763-295-3170 to report the problem so repairs
can be made.
SNOWPLOW SAFETY
0 .-441 SNOWPLOWING
Plowing begins after snow accumulates to
• g g
•�� or more and stops falling. When snowfall
continues for extended periods, crews plow
main collector routes and streets that
connect neighborhoods to state and county
roads to keep these roads passable until all
city streets can be plowed. Follow-up passes
are made as needed. If strong winds and

PLOW DAMAGE
The City does not assume liability for damages to
obstacles in the road right-of-way (irrigation systems,
landscaping, etc.) If possible, please remove these
obstacles from the right-of-way or clearly mark them
to aid plow drivers.
• Make sure your mailbox post is solid and securely
fastened to the box. Sometimes snow from the
plow can dislodge the box from the post or bend/
break a weak post. The City will reimburse the cost

PUBLIC WORKS
of materials to replace a broken mailbox only if we
determine the mailbox was damaged from direct
contact with a plow. To report a damaged mailbox,
please call Public Works at 763-295-3170.
Often, plow drivers literally "feel" their way along
streets because of conditions, and lawns may be
damaged. If this happens to your lawn, please report
it to Public Works at 763-295-3170. Damages are
repaired each spring with black dirt and seed or sod.
SIDEWALKS & PATHWAYS
City crews plow many sidewalks and pathways (to see what is plowed, view the complete route map online). The
sidewalks and pathways designated as school pedestrian routes are plowed first, and every effort is made to have
these routes open by 7 a.m. on school days. If schools are closed, these routes may not be plowed as quickly.
Other sidewalks and pathways listed in the policy will be cleared after the city streets have been plowed.
Property owners are responsible for clearing snow and ice from adjoining
sidewalks. If snow and ice are not removed by the owner or occupant within
48 hours following either any snowfall of 2" or more or the formation of ice, the sidewalk may be cleared under the
direction of the Street Superintendent. The work will be billed to the owner at a rate of at least $75/hr. No additional
notice is required, and the work may be completed without notifying the property owner.
ICE CONTROL
City crews apply a salt brine to primary streets before a storm arrives.
This practice prevents the snow or ice from bonding or compacting to the
pavement surface. Following a storm, city crews use a sand -salt mixture
on icy areas. This doesn't guarantee totally ice -free streets, so drive
carefully even where sanding is evident. Priority areas are sanded first,
and all other areas are done as time permits. Priority areas include:
• Intersections of city streets with county and state roads, school and
pedestrian crossings, and all arterial street intersections controlled by
stop signs.
• Street intersections with higher than average traffic volumes and
streets with hills and curves.
0 All other areas deemed hazardous by city crews or public safety officials.

CITY,O F EXCITING CHANGES AT THE COMMUNITY CENTER!
MOntice110 At the Monticello
COMMUNITY CENT Community Center (MCC),
we are always striving to
provide quality recreational
experiences for our
members and guests.
Unfortunately, sometimes
that means we have to
temporarily close specific
areas of the facility to make
improvements.
This year we closed the pool
for six weeks to complete
annual pool maintenance as
well as a larger renovation project. The changes this fall included resurfacing the pool and
spas, improving the pool area lighting, and constructing a brand new custom play structure
in the zero -depth area of the pool.
Please visit the MCC website for further details and updates on the pool closure and improvements. Thank you to the Becker
Community Center and Monticello Middle School for their generosity during our pool closure, and thank you to our patrons
for your patience during the closure.
Walking track improvements were also made this year and the track has been resurfaced and is ready for you to lace up your
tennis shoes! The project was completed earlier this year through a generous donation from the Mahoney family. The track is
one of the most popular features at the community center, and is open to the public whenever the building is open. We hope
everyone will join us this winter to enjoy all of the new improvements at the MCC!

Downtown is the heart of Monticello. Recognizing
that a strong downtown represents the vibrancy c
and vitality of our community, the City has been
working over the last year on a plan which sets a Y

The five -member Planning Commission serves as the city's
primary planning agency. Each commission member is appointed
by the City Council and serves a 3 -year term. The commission
reviews development plans and advises the City Council on items
such as amendments to the comprehensive plan, zoning, platting,
variances, and other land use issues.
The Planning Commission doesn't have the power to decide
which developers or projects come to Monticello. Instead
their role is to manage development activities based on the
Comprehensive Plan and other city guidelines. By doing this,
the city can develop in a way that serves citizens effectively,
providing public services and securing tax base for growth.

The City Council adopted a new standard for driveway widths in Monticello at their
August 28, 2017 meeting. The maximum driveway width at the property line cannot
exceed 30 feet and must taper to a width not to exceed 28 feet at the public street.
This standard was established to balance the use of private driveways with the public
right of way area, which provides space for snow storage, off-street parking, utilities
and drainage, and boulevard trees.
This standard applies to all driveways (residential, commercial, industrial and civic/
institutional) with the exception of driveways in specific residential areas where
narrower driveways are required by code.
The Monticello Building Department will work with residents installing or repairing
driveways to meet this requirement. Please contact the Building Department with any
questions at 763-295-3060.

DON'T SLEEP WITH A CHARGING PHONE!
Research has revealed that 53% of children & teens charge their phone or
tablet on their bed or under their pillow which can be extremely dangerous.
The heat generated cannot dissipate and the charger will become hotter and
hotter. The likely result is that the pillow and bed will catch fire. This places
the child or teen as well as everyone else in the home in great danger. Please
check where you & your family charge your mobile devices.
In addition to batteries overheating on flammable surfaces, there's another fire hazard associated
with devices in bed, the charger itself can catch on fire. Chargers that show ssns of fraying or
those that are incompatible with a device have an increased risk to go up in flames.
Because we have so many more electronic devices in our bedrooms these days, taking extra
precautions to prevent fires is necessary. Spread the word about charging phones in bed to your
children, teens, and college kids to keep them safe! Source: tiphero.com/bedtime-phone-charging/
Help Prevent Car Break-ins & Neighborhood Crime . Lock Your Doors and Secure Your Vehicle
A majority of car break-ins and thefts result from unlocked cars. Even if you're
parked in front of your house, in your driveway or inside your garage, lock your
doors. Criminals like to walk down the street and see if a car is unlocked. If it
is, they open the door and take whatever is visible and move on to the next
target. However, if the door is locked, they are more likely to move on.
STASH BEFORE YOU PARK Thieves like to window shop! Avoid leaving
anything visible in the car, your spare change, sunglasses, even an empty bag
could be valuable in the mind of a thief.
WRIGHT COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
24 HR NON -EMERGENCY: 763-682-1162
EMERGENCY: 911
Stow your electronics and accessories well out of sight, or just take them with you. Try to get in the habit of putting
items you want hidden in the trunk of your car before you arrive at your destination. Thieves will linger in busy
parking lots looking for you to stash your valuable items.
PARK SMART Park in a busy, well -lit area and avoid concealment from
larger vehicles, fences, and foliage. Avoid parking in isolated and poorly -lit areas. If parking in your garage, it is also
a good idea to close all windows, lock the doors, and take the keys inside with you. Also, make sure your garage
doors are locked and overhead doors are closed (it is a good idea to keep your overhead garage doors closed as
leaving them open advertises to thieves what is in your garage).
REPORT SUSPICIOUS ACTIVITY
Get to know the normal activities in your neighborhood, be aware of your surroundings, and be familiar your
neighbors. If you see suspicious activity or people in your neighborhood, call 911 immediately!
When calling 911, please provide the dispatcher with as much information as possible, such as:
• Location: Provide an address, block number, or specific location in a parking lot.
• Description of the suspect: Provide as much information as you can, i.e. gender, race, age, height, weight, hair
color and length, color and length of facial hair, colors and style of clothing, and identifying marks such as
tattoos or piercings.
• Direction: If the suspect flees, give the direction of travel. If they flee on a bicycle or in a vehicle, describe the
color, make, model, and license plate number if it is safe to do so!

Christmas tree pickup is scheduled for the week of January 8-13. Please place
your tree at the curbside by 7 a.m. on Monday, January 8, 2018.
Trees will be picked up throughout the week and brought back to Public Works
for chipping. It is essential that the trees are un -bagged and free of stands,
ornaments, metal objects, wires, lights, etc. Wreaths will not be accepted.
If you are unable to have your tree at the curb by this date, you may drop it off at the Public Works Facility at 909 Golf Course
Road. All questions can be directed to Public Works at 763-295-3170.
BOULEVARD TREE TRIMMING
Maintenance of boulevard trees, those located at the curbside or in the road right of way, are the
responsibility of the abutting property owner per City Ordinance 8-5-5. However, due to safety
concerns for large vehicles (such as fire trucks, buses, sanitation trucks, etc.), and as a courtesy to
residents, street -side tree trimming is done routinely by Public Works staff during the winter months at
no cost to the property owners.
All trimming is performed under the direction of certified arborists to ensure trees are trimmed in a
manner that protects the health of the trees. After a tree is trimmed, it may look rather bare as trees are
typically trimmed high to provide for public safety. Don't worry, it will begin to look normal during the
next growing season with a healthier and more attractive form and structure.
SNOWMOBILING RULES OF THE ROAD
Snowmobiles are PERMITTED to
operate in the following areas of the
City:
• Designated snowmobile trails.
• City streets with curb and gutter.
• Back -slopes or ditch bottoms on
streets with defined ditches.
