MONROE - During a meeting Monday, the City of Monroe Board of Public Works:
• Approved payment of bills in the amounts of $5,390 from Whitney Tree Service, Monroe, for fall stump removal; $82.64 from Wisconsin DOT for pre-construction engineering on 13th Street; and $146.25 from Fehr-Graham & Associates for Walmart utility inspection.
• Recommended to Council to approve a relocation order and plat for the 8th/9th Street project. Public Works Director Kelly Finkenbinder explained the order and plat shows each parcel of land along 8th and 9th streets that is being acquired for right of way and gave the legal description.

• Accepted quotes and approved hiring Monroe Graphics for $866.98 to print the Consumer Confidence Report for the Water Department.
