The City is currently experiencing issues with both of the dumpster garbage trucks.

We are working on getting both of the trucks fixed but we are unsure if the problem will be resolved, later today.

We appreciate your patience during this process while we manually use trucks, trailers and man power to empty dumpsters.

If you have any questions, please call City Hall. 870-367-4400.

At Monday night’s city parks commission meeting, the board approved using a $10,000 CD designated for lake trail improvements to be spent on a detailed drawing and improvement map for future plans at Lake Monticello.
Several residents were present supporting the decision. The trail will be able to be used for walking, fishing, hiking, biking, and even a triathlon, in the future.

I would like to address a couple of reports given in our Tuesday, November 19, 2019 City Council meeting. Two different reports stated that an Event Center was being discussed. A local news forum reported “Event Center Discussed Twice In Council Meeting”. This headline led citizens and others to believe we are discussing this issue. An Event Center may be discussed in separate commission meetings but I would like to inform the citizens of Monticello that an Event Center is not on the table.
