RESOLUTION #2025-161
Approving Monticello School District use of Community Center
and Waiving Fees for Junior High School Wrestling Practice
WHEREAS, The City of Monticello occasionally allows community groups to use the Community Center at reduced or no cost for uses that promote the City’s mission and purpose, and
WHEREAS, the Monticello School District has seen a growing interest in Wrestling for boys and girls, and has insufficient space at School District facilities for practice and training among the various age categories, and for boys and girls, and
WHEREAS, the Monticello School District has requested use of the Community Center on eight (8) weekday afternoons for boys in November and December, and eight (8) weekday afternoons for girls in January and February, and
WHEREAS, the School District is willing to reimburse the City’s expenses for housekeeping, custodial and sanitation supplies, and
WHEREAS, both the Monticello School District and the City of Monticello have an interest and purpose in supporting Title IX and promoting equal opportunities in sports for boys and girls, and
WHEREAS, The City Council finds that School District use of the Community Center for wrestling practice in the best interests of the City and charging a fee would only move money from one taxing agency to another, and would not eliminate or reduce any burdens on taxpayers, and the use of the Community Center for wrestling practice at no rental fee cost should, therefore, be approved.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of Monticello, Iowa does hereby approve of the proposed use of the Community
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto subscribed my name and caused the Great Seal of the City of Monticello, Iowa to be affixed hereto. Done this 3rd day of November, 2025.
