The Monticello City Council on May 27, 2025, confirmed the mayor’s appointments of John Rupke as fire department chief for a four-year term and Robert Bross as police chief for the duration of the mayor’s term. The council also approved designating Alderman Tom Reed as a signer for First State Bank accounts only.
The mayor presented the appointments and asked for council approval. A council member moved approval and another seconded; a roll call vote recorded all present council members voting yes and the motions passed.
The fire chief appointment specifies a four-year term; the police chief appointment was approved “for the duration of my term,” as stated by the mayor in the meeting. The bank authorization motion was limited explicitly to First State Bank accounts.
