June 2, 2026 City Council Meeting

The City of Montrose held a City Council meeting on June 2, 2026, which included extensive public commentary primarily focused on social issues, particularly the recognition of Pride Month and support for the LGBTQ+ community. The council addressed several procurement and budget-related items, including approval of an ordinance to exempt sales tax on coins and precious metal bullion, and authorization of a $280,000 grant application for a co-responder program through the Colorado Department of Health Services. A significant capital project discussed was the Rio Grand East Oak Grove roundabout and phase one Rio Grand extension, where the council approved awarding a $2.5 million contract to Ridgeway Valley Enterprises to complete the project after terminating the original contract with Earthworks. The project remains under budget at approximately $4.45 million total, below the original $5.55 million budget. Additionally, an update was provided on the wastewater treatment plant project, with a current authorization of over $33 million and ongoing construction progress. The meeting concluded without further staff or council comments.
