Monroe City Council Adopts Water Conservation Ordinance; Pickleball Court Bid and Community Center on Agenda

Water Conservation Ordinance Adopted

The Monroe City Council adopted Ordinance 7 01 2026, establishing a Water Regulation and Conservation Program that includes penalties for violations. The ordinance was adopted on July 17, 2026, according to the meeting agenda. Minutes from the July 20, 2026, City Council meeting have not yet been published, so further details on the vote tally or discussion are not available.

The ordinance matters to residents because it sets the rules for water use in Monroe and outlines penalties for those who violate them — information that could affect household watering habits and costs.

Pickleball Courts Bid Under Consideration

The City Council's July 28, 2026, regular meeting agenda included a bid from Renner Tarkett Sports Company for pickleball courts in the amount of $119,392.32. The agenda listed the item as one to "consider award" for the contract. Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so the outcome of the council's consideration is not yet confirmed in the record.

Community Center Plans on Agenda

Also on the July 28 agenda was a discussion item regarding plans for a Monroe City Community Center. No dollar figures, site details, or design specifics were included in the available agenda materials. The item was listed for discussion and consideration.

• A donation for the Magnify Monroe Mural from Kathleen Schoemig.
• Items to be placed on the city surplus list.
• A South Sevier Senior Center Advisory Board request from Mary K Outzen.

All items were listed for consideration or discussion. Because minutes have not been published, it is not yet clear which items were acted on or how any votes went.
