RESOLUTION #19-113
Approving Downtown Assessment by Iowa Downtown Resource Center.
WHEREAS, The City of Monticello recently applied to be a Main Street Iowa Community and was unsuccessful in that bid, and
WHEREAS, As a result of our Application we have been offered the opportunity to receive a Downtown Assessment, performed by Iowa Downtown Resource Center staff, at the reduced cost of $1,000 as opposed to the normal cost of $2,500, and
WHEREAS, The Main Street committee was advised that scoring was very close and that the commission unanimously supported the re-application by Monticello during the next Application period that will commence approximately eighteen (18) months from now, and
WHEREAS, The Hometown Pride Board and the intended Main Street Monticello Board plan to convene and take action to improve Monticello’s downtown and our opportunity to be successful as a Main Street Iowa applicant in the near future, and to that end have recommended that the City approve of the proposed Downtown Assessment, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds that the Downtown Assessment would be of value and would assist the Hometown Pride Board and Monticello in general, with regard to downtown planning and future Main Street Iowa Application success.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby authorize moving forward with the Downtown Assessment as proposed.
IN THE TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal for the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed. Done this 5th day of August, 2019.
