Monticello fiscal recovery, taxes, and major capital projects

Monticello’s fiscal position remains difficult to reconcile across reports, with differing figures for the deficit, adopted budget, tax increase, and employee raises. Amendment 3 revenue concerns may prompt service reconsideration; the 1% grocery tax, $34.5 million Public Works bond issue, sewer work, and roughly $900,000 City Park playground investment are also active city matters.
