Community Leaders

Monticello City Council members Clint Herbst, Tom Perrault, Glen Posusta, and Susan Wojchouski. I contacted Clint Herbst asking about some key issues of current residents in our community. Clint was more than considerate in helping me out with some issues. On their agenda right now is the current construction of sidewalks on west river street, Width of Walnut parking lot, the sidewalk extension between Locust street and Highway 25. The most controversial topic was an off-street sidewalk along West River Street. The residential property owners did not feel there was enough traffic for the sidewalks to be needed, business owners did not feel there was enough foot traffic to make it worth while. I asked if there was any state aid for any of these projects or funds available? Clint Herbst expressed there are some state aid due to the fact it is a State-Aid route. The current projects would entail 25% residents, 75% city. The Chestnut street project improvements would total 137,000 dollars, the Park pathway lighting-35,000-45,000 dollars (within the park), Sidewalk extension from Locust to HWY 25 -54,100-115,500 dollars total for each project. Would you anticipate any problems with the other projects mentioned? There was a city counsel meeting held February 22, 2010 with all in favor of the projects. If I had questions about my portion of the cost who would I contact? The person to contact would be Tom Kelly he handles the financial portion and can better handle those questions? If I were concerned about the snow plowing being done in my cul-de-sac properly would I contact you? The contact would be the public works depatment for this issue they can better help you. If I had any other concerns or questions would you be the best person to contact? I would be more than happy to help in anyway I can.
