MONROE - In a meeting Monday, the City of Monroe Board of Public Works:
• Discussed and recommended to council to approve four land acquisitions, signed off by residents, for 8th/9th Street project.
• Discussed and recommended to council to approve an additional change order in the amount of about $18,500 for contract with E & N Hughes for streetscape project. The changes will still be within budget.
