State & Local
During the March 2, 2026 City Council Work Session in Montrose, the council discussed two primary topics. First, they reviewed and approved a contract award recommendation for the reconditioning of the City Hall roof. The project, valued at $347,000 with Garland Roofing as the contractor, involves coating and repairing the upper and middle sections of the roof rather than full replacement, resulting in significant cost savings and minimal disruption to city operations. The council noted the inclusion of a 12% owner's contingency to address unforeseen issues during the work. Second, the council received an extensive update on the ongoing efforts of the Unhoused Round Table, a collaborative initiative addressing homelessness in Montrose. The discussion highlighted the phased approach of assessing needs, analyzing service gaps, and taking action through coordinated strategies involving community partners. Key focus areas include policy and zoning updates to legalize unhoused shelters in certain zones, employment and economic stability programs, and capital planning for housing solutions. The council emphasized the importance of a comprehensive housing continuum and ongoing collaboration to address homelessness sustainably.
