Monroe — The Monroe City Council on March 10 approved a bundle of routine and land-use actions, including an annexation agreement with TGAP LLC, adoption of the city’s 2026 Capital Improvement list and authorization to buy a small parcel for a possible future community center.
City Recorder Allison Leavitt presented the annexation agreement with TGAP LLC, which City Attorney Eric Johnson had reviewed. Councilmember Ryan Johnson moved to approve the agreement; Councilmember Jason Bagley seconded the motion. The council voted unanimously 5-0 (Bagley, Johnson, Mathie, Payne and Sirrine) to accept the annexation.
The council also adopted the 2026 Capital Improvement list after a brief review. Councilmember Perry Payne moved to approve the list; Councilmember Jason Bagley seconded and the motion passed 5-0.
On a policy-related vote, Councilmember Perry Payne moved to require that all infrastructure improvements in the Goold Brothers Corner Subdivision be completed before building permits are issued; Councilmember Michael Mathie seconded. The council voted 5-0 to adopt that requirement.
The council approved the purchase of roughly 1,465 square feet (parcel 1-M3C-37) from Justin and Roxanne Jolley for $3,000 plus surveying and recording fees. Mayor Johnny Parsons said the parcel would help square up city property where a future community center might be located if funding becomes available. Councilmember Ryan Johnson moved to buy the parcel and Councilmember Erica Sirrine seconded; the vote was 5-0.
City Recorder Allison Leavitt also asked the council to replace and add cemetery street signs to match the cemetery map; the work and posts were estimated at about $2,500. Councilmember Jason Bagley moved to approve the expenditure; Councilmember Ryan Johnson seconded and the council approved the purchase 5-0. The council suggested the four new street names Maple, Pine, Aspen and Birch.

Why it matters The annexation and the capital plan set the city’s near-term infrastructure and development priorities. The parcel purchase and cemetery signage are smaller, local investments tied to the community-center planning process and cemetery operations. The Goold Brothers Corner decision establishes a firm permitting policy intended to ensure subdivisions complete required public infrastructure before home construction begins.
What’s next The council’s next regular meeting is scheduled for March 24, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. at the Monroe City Office.
