City staff announced that Business View magazine selected Monte Vista as a "top managed city" in its population category and said the recognition will be featured in a profile the magazine is preparing.
Gigi, the staff member who coordinated the interview, told the council the magazine chose Monte Vista as "the top managed city of a population of 2,000 plus." Staff said the magazine conducted interviews this week and that the resulting feature will provide positive publicity for the community.
