Fiscal Agent in place
After several City Council meetings, the council members voted in the March meeting to have the City of Ellsworth act as the fiscal agent for the Horizons Project in town. Our “coach”, Barb Wollan, helped us by gathering data on how other towns in Iowa and many towns from the Midwest are using their city Councils as fiscal agents. Our city attorney looked at all the data. The information was helpful and key in the vote to finally get our town’s fiscal agent in place. Now we are able to apply for the funds that our community has worked very dedicatedly toward.
