What does Monticello want to fund using a sales tax?

Monticello’s City Council has identified two large-scale projects that they feel have a regional significance to our area: The Pointes at Cedar, and the Bertram Chain of Lakes Regional Park and Athletic Complex. The City has identified the local option sales tax as a way to alleviate the financial costs on local taxpayers and utilize the many visitors we have engaging, shopping and recreating within our community.
