City crews will be working in the late evening and at night to prepare manholes for the upcoming paving of Main Street. The work is being performed at night so that the work will have less impact on daytime traffic. Please drive carefully and help watch for city workers as they work to rebuild Monticello’s roads and infrastructure.
According to Monticello Mayor Jason Akers, many Monticello residents who are city water customers saw a reduced water bill this month.
Last year, the mayor and the city water department proposed to the city council that those who have consistently paid their water bill on time for a period of 12 months should be entitled to their deposit being given back to the customer in the form of being utilized to offset the customers water bill. Criteria for a reduced bill was that a customer pay on time for a year and at the end of the year, the water deposit may be applied towards the customers regular monthly bill. The council approved the act as presented by the Mayor and Water Department Manager.
The city currently has over $300,000 in water deposit funds in various CD’s and checking accounts that cannot be used for any purpose. Many of these deposits date back decades, and the city has to pay to have them audited.
“There is no point in the City just hanging on for decades to money that belongs to our citizens. Applying these funds to city customers is our way of rewarding responsible customers who consistently pay on time. It’s taking money out of governments hands and putting it back in the pockets of our people.”
Congratulations to Monticello High School Concert Choir for earning 1st Division Superior ratings in both their performance and sight-reading at the Region 3 Choral Performance Assessment (CPA).
These ratings qualify the MHS choir to compete for STATE CPA Sweepstakes and “4A Best in Class” at UCA in April.
I am elated and beyond grateful for this amazing group of young, disciplined, hardworking and talented vocalists. They represented Billie Nation well.
The Monticello Middle School Choir did an exceptional job also. The Girl’s Choir earned a Superior 1st Division in sight-reading and Excellent IIR rating in their performance. The Mixed Choir received Excellent II ratings. We are very proud of these young musicians. We look forward to their continued growth and success. – Bennie Vincent MHS Choir Director
