(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission is considering providing a portion of the funding it receives from a local trust to the Brown County Historical Society.
The Commission discussed the issue during their meeting Monday evening.
The city currently receives an annual distribution from the Francis Sewell Plamann.
The Historical Society also receives funding from the Trust, but that is to end in 2017 and the city will receive a larger distribution.
The Historical Society is requesting a portion of the funding to help pay for the salary of a director.
City Administrator Mike Nichols recommended a five or ten year agreement under which the society would receive funds equal to 30 percent of the distribution not to exceed $9,000 in the first year and $12,000 in subsequent years.
Nichols says an agreement would have worked out between the Historical Society and Trust, with the city’s consent.
The Commission took no action. Additional information will be obtained and the issue will be discussed again at the Commission’s next meeting on January 19th.
