Monroe County Council

The Monroe County Council met on June 11th. Council President Trent Deckard noted that the American Rescue Plan Act Fund deadline is approaching, and said that they have a year to decide what to spend the funds on.
During staff reports, Planning Director Jacki Jelen gave an update on the proposed County Development Ordinance zoning districts.
Council President Deckard asked how residents would know if their property would see a zoning change. Jelen responded.
The next Department update came from the Sheriff’s Department. Chief Deputy Phil Parker said that they have achieved their hiring goal for the Jail Transition Team.
Council Member Kate Wiltz said she has qualms with the County Commissioners’ working so separately from the council on the new jail. She also said she was surprised to learn the council would be assigned to determine the size and bed count of a potential new jail. .
Wiltz then outlined her recommendations, saying the council needs to make sure it watches its spending of Local Income Tax funds.
Council Member Jennifer Crossley said that she agrees with Wiltz’ proposal for de-appropriation of funds. She explained that she doesn’t believe that the county council should be responsible for bed counts at the jail.
Wiltz clarified her intentions behind the de-appropriation, she said the purpose is to give the council the opportunity to look more closely at each item, rather than fund the project in a general sense.
The next Monroe County Council meeting will be held on June 24th.
