Plevna agrees to act as fiscal sponsor for Sieler Schoolhouse grant applications
Summary
Council unanimously agreed to serve as fiscal sponsor for the Sieler Schoolhouse Project, meaning grant awards would be received by the town and project bills paid from those grant funds; the town assumes no direct financial obligation beyond administering grant funds.
The Plevna Town Council unanimously agreed to serve again as fiscal sponsor for the Sieler Schoolhouse Project at the request of Mylen Bohle. The arrangement means the town will receive any grant funds awarded on behalf of the project and will be responsible for paying project expenses out of those grant proceeds; the minutes state the town incurs no direct financial obligation beyond administering the grants.
Mylen Bohle brought the request to the council because several grant application deadlines require a fiscal sponsor. The council recorded unanimous agreement to serve in that role; no vote tally or grant amounts were recorded in the minutes, and the council did not specify which grants the project will apply for during the meeting.
The town will need internal controls and bookkeeping practices to ensure grant receipts are tracked and project disbursements are paid from the designated funds. Clerk Bondell or the appointed town official will be responsible for receiving funds and paying project bills if the grants are awarded.
