Summary of Proceedings

Monroe Public Safety Committee Meeting - August 24, 2026

The Monroe Public Safety Committee met on Monday, August 24, 2026, at 4:55 PM in Council Chambers. The sole substantive agenda item was a discussion and recommendation regarding Monroe High School's Homecoming Parade special event application. The committee voted unanimously to approve the application and forward it to the Common Council.

Consent Calendar

  • The minutes from the August 10, 2026 meeting were accepted as presented without correction.

Discussion Items

  • Monroe High School Homecoming Parade Special Event Application (October 2, 2026): A representative from the Police Department presented the application. The parade will follow the same route as in previous years—starting at the old high school, proceeding to the roundabout, and around the square. The route remained unchanged primarily due to ongoing construction at the new high school, which has not yet allowed for a determination of a more beneficial alternative route.

Key Outcomes

  • Motion to Recommend to Common Council: Alder Darlene Voelkli made a motion, seconded by Alder Corinne Wartenweiler, to approve the special event application and recommend it to the Common Council. The motion passed 3–0, with Matt Sheaffer, Corinne Wartenweiler, and Darlene Voelkli voting in favor. Alder Dave Mosher was absent.
  • The meeting adjourned at 4:57 PM.
