At a July 15 special meeting, the Montrose City Council approved the special-event application for the Montrose Music Festival 2025 (Action 25-115). Councilmember Binder moved to approve the application and Councilmember Scheff seconded; the minutes record the roll call as "All favored no opposition," and the motion carried.
Resident Fockler introduced the request and asked about booking extra campsites; the council and Mayor Susan Painter directed him to check with the Finance Officer for help booking online. Fockler also requested permission to hang a banner on the softball field fence, which the council indicated it was "ok with."
