John Karl announces candidacy for Village of Monroe Trustee

My name is John M. Karl III and I am running for Village Trustee in the March 18, 2020, election.

I am active within the community and attend all village board meetings. I am proud to say I was Mayor from 2006-2010 and Trustee from 2004-2006.

I am a lifelong resident of the Village of Monroe and 42-year active member of the Monroe Fire Department and many other civic organizations.

We as a Village have a serious expense on the horizon that needs to be addressed and that is a voice in making the OCSD #1 fair and equitable to the property owners in our Village. This needs to be put on the forefront Now.

· We need affordable and market driven Senior housing.

· Update Property Maintenance Laws and Quality of Life issues that will be enforced.

· Work with Regulatory Agencies to get permits to dredge the Millponds.

· Full transparency - no hidden agenda.

· Enforce unwanted garbage and debris littering throughout the Village including properties owned by the Village of Monroe. You lead by example.

The above mentioned are just some of the projects I will push to advance for the betterment of the Village of Monroe. I have 37+ years of proven Village experience to get the job done. I am retired and available day or night.

As an elected official we must be held to a higher standard and be held accountable to our constituents. This includes paying our property taxes and water bills in a timely manner.
