Plevna clerk flags $3,500 Local Government Review Center fee; Ekalaka seeks cost split
Summary
Clerk Ashley Bondell told the council the Local Government Review Center will charge $3,500 a year and that Ekalaka asked whether Plevna would split the cost. The council requested timing details and left the matter for further follow-up.
Clerk/Treasurer Ashley Bondell informed the council that the Local Government Review Center is charging $3,500 annually for its services and that the Town of Ekalaka has asked whether Plevna would split the fee among nearby municipalities. Bondell said, "This fee can be split between three municipalities and the Town of Ekalaka has asked if the Town of Plevna would be interested in splitting the cost with them." She added uncertainty about whether declining the service would affect training at Clerks Institute.
Councilmembers asked when a response to Ekalaka is required; Bondell said she was unsure of the deadline. Council did not take immediate action and asked the clerk to follow up with Ekalaka and report timing and contract details at a later meeting. No motion or vote on the fee-sharing question was recorded in the transcript.
The proposal raises a routine intergovernmental budget question for small towns weighing shared services against individual training and administrative needs.
