Voters at the November 7, 2017, city election will be asked to vote YES or NO on the following proposition, “Shall the proposition to establish a capital improvement reserve fund and levy one and one-half (1 1/2) mil tax in the city equal to 15 cents per $1,000 of taxable valuation beginning July 1, 2018 for a period of 6 years for the purpose of improvements in the utility and waste water treatment system be approved?

Monroe voters have approved the Capital Improvements Reserve fund levy every 6 years since 1974.  In the past, voters approved the Capital Improvements Reserve Fund levy for the purpose of improvements toward the water systems, lift stations, and enabled the City to borrow less money for improvements.

If voters approve the proposition in November, receipts during the next six years will be used for needed improvements in the water and waste water systems.  During the fiscal year 2017-2018 the levy will produce approximately $28,572 in revenue.
