Monroe Public Safety Committee Meeting - August 24, 2026

The Public Safety Committee met on Monday, August 24, 2026 at 4:55 PM in Council Chambers. The committee unanimously approved the minutes of the August 10, 2026 meeting as presented. The main agenda item was a discussion and possible recommendation regarding the Monroe High School Homecoming Parade special event application.

Discussion Items

  • Monroe High School Homecoming Parade Special Event Application: The committee reviewed an application for the parade, scheduled for October 2, 2026. The proposed route remains the same as previous years, leaving from the old high school, proceeding to the roundabout, and around the square. This decision was influenced by ongoing construction at the new high school which has not yet determined a beneficial alternative route.

Key Outcomes

  • The committee made a motion to recommend the special event application to the Common Council. The motion was seconded and passed unanimously (all four aldermen present voting aye). The recommendation now goes to the full Common Council for approval.
