Monticello officials discuss idea of forming drainage district

MONTICELLO – Storm water drainage issues are on the minds of Monticello City Council members, and Mayor Bill Mitze has suggested the council consider the need for a possible drainage district.

Mitze said in a study session Monday that it's a relevant discussion, but added he was "in no way pushing for or against a drainage district."
