Monroe City Council OKs 200000 Borrowing For Highway Relocation
The Monroe City Council approved borrowing 200000 to finance land acquisition for the Highway 69 relocation on the city west edge. Alderman Kirchner said notes from local banks will fund the move, not a bond issue, with a future prepayment option for a larger bond if needed. Alderman Chambers opposed the borrowing, favoring a referendum bond instead. The plan includes about 16000 dollars city share for right of way and construction, with state financing for land acquisition to connect to the city limits. The council also advanced a long term improvement of Spring Square Parking Lot and discussed elm tree losses.
