COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG) SECOND PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
Monticello City will hold a public hearing to discuss the project determined to be applied for in the CDBG Small Cities Program in Program Year 2026. The City of Monticello will utilize CDBG funds to purchase one (1) heavy-duty wildland fire response vehicle. The vehicle shall be a Ram 5500 4x4 diesel truck or Ford F-550 (or approved equivalent) meeting the following minimum specifications: crew cab configuration, diesel engine, four-wheel drive (4x4), dually-to-single rear wheel conversion for improved off-road performance, high ground clearance suitable for rural and wildland terrain, off-road tires, adequate towing capacity for equipment transport. The vehicle will be configured to support fire suppression operations and must be capable of safely accommodating a 400-500-gallon water tank and a 10-14-gallon foam tank. Required equipment and features shall include a brush guard, emergency warning lights, reflective striping for visibility and safety, and electric rewind hose reel. This purchase will replace an existing 2005 truck that is outdated, unreliable, and requires ongoing maintenance. The new vehicle will provide a purpose-built apparatus designed for wildland and rural firefighting operations. It will improve emergency response times, enhance firefighter safety, and increase the City's overall fire suppression capabilities. Additionally, it will allow safe access to off-road and brush areas without causing damage to equipment, which is critical due to the City's rural environment and high seasonal drought conditions. Comments will be solicited on project scope, implementation and its effects on residents. The hearing will begin at 7:00 P.M. on April 14, 2026, and will be held at the Hideout Community Center, 648 S Hideout Way, Monticello, UT 84535. Further information, such as a copy of the proposed application, can be obtained by contacting City Recorder, Melissa Gill at 435-587-2271 ext. 12 or melissa@monticelloutah.gov. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, individuals needing special accommodations (including auxiliary communicative aids and services) during this hearing should notify City Recorder, Melissa Gill at the above number and email listed, or 17 N 100 E, Monticello, UT 84535 at least three days prior to the hearing.
