Topics getting the most attention in Monroe public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.

Union County Parking Lot Partnership
An interlocal agreement would have Monroe and Union County share the cost and use of the public parking lot at 600 N. Church Street, with a capital project budget ordinance to back it.
Historic Landmark Designations
Two downtown properties — the Secrest Building at 101 W. Franklin and the F.M. Morgan House at 500 S. Hayne Street — were up for official historic landmark designation, which protects them from unsympathetic alteration.
Lake Minehaha Dam Removal
The consent agenda included authorization to remove the Lake Minehaha dam, which affects the lake, its users, and downstream drainage.
