August 31, 2026 City Council Work Session

The City of Montrose held a City Council Work Session on August 31, 2026, primarily discussing the Rotary Park pump house replacement project. The project involves demolishing the existing pump house and constructing a new CMU block structure to house a Monroe pump station skid unit, which will improve irrigation efficiency for approximately 8.5 acres of turf. The city received five bids and plans to award the construction contract to the low bidder, FCI Constructors Inc., for $467,283. A 10% contingency fund was also proposed to cover potential overruns. Additionally, the council received an update on the Serice Park fuels reduction project funded by a congressional grant, focusing on removing invasive species and wildfire mitigation. No formal votes were recorded during this session, but the council expressed support for proceeding with the pump house project and related budget considerations.
