City Council Minutes 05-09-2022 SpecialMINUTES SPECIAL MEETING MONTICELLO CITY COUNCIL Monday, May 9, 2022 — 5 p.m. Academy Room, Monticello Community Center Present: Jim Davidson, Bill Fair, Charlotte Gabler, Lloyd Hilgart, Sam Murdoff Absent: None Staff: Rachel Leonard, Angela Schumann, Matt Leonard, Sarah Rathlisberger, and Jennifer Schreiber 1. Call to Order Mayor Lloyd Hilgart called the special meeting to order at 5 p.m. 2. CMRP Update Rachel Leonard, City Administrator, introduced the item and noted recent CMRP discussions about the priorities and future direction of the group. Ms. Leonard requested input from the City Council on what the City of Monticello deems a priority and where efforts by staff should be directed. CMRP, previously known as the Highway 25 Coalition, was created when the area government entities were looking at another bridge crossing. It has since transitioned to include a greater emphasis on economic growth and development. The organization is seeking to address regional issues, including but not limited to a bridge crossing. The Council discussed membership in the CMRP. It was apparent that the regional planning group component is important to the Council, but the bridge crossing should be the focus now. The Council also discussed the bridge location and where Monticello would prefer it located. Council's primary goal with the location selection is to reduce truck traffic through the Trunk Highway 25 corridor. 3. Adjournment By consensus, the meeting was adjourned at 6:20 p.m. Recorder: Approved: Jennifer Schreibe ✓ Attest: City Council Special Meeting Minutes — May 9, 2022
