Rolfe council agrees to cover at least half of Hometown Pride membership for coach Underwood
Summary
The council voted to pay at least half of Hometown Pride's $880 annual membership to retain coach Margo Underwood, with the Hometown Pride committee possibly covering the remainder. Motion passed unanimously.
The Rolfe City Council on May 12 authorized the city to pay at least half of the $880 annual Hometown Pride membership to maintain the group's partnership and support coach Margo Underwood. Councilmember Lana Pratt made the motion; Dan Allen seconded and the motion passed with all ayes.
Citizens who spoke during public comment — including Barb Bennett and Wendy Panbecker — urged the council to renew the partnership and to restore the membership that had been removed from the budget due to prior cuts. The minutes record that the Hometown Pride committee may pay the other half of the fee.
The council did not specify a funding source in the minutes for the city's portion beyond approving the motion; the item was recorded as an action to be implemented as directed.
