MONROE - In a meeting Monday, the City of Monroe Public Safety Committee:
• Recommended to City Council to approve a special event permit for the Main Street Halloween Parade and Concert, from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 31. The Halloween parade will follow the standard route. Monroe Main Street Director Barb Nelson said that as a courtesy to the Monroe Arts Center, a street concert will be on the courthouse lawn following the parade. No street blocking will be put up for the music feature. The hours of Trick-or-Treat will be from 5 to 8:30 p.m.
• Recommended to council to approve an agreement between Green County EMS, Inc., and the Monroe Fire Department for mutual assistance calls. Fire Chief Daryl Rausch said the level of safety for residents would go up, but the increase in the number of calls for the Fire Department would not be significant. Police Chief Fred Kelley said police officers are not always available to go on EMS calls.
