Council nixes brochure funds

Ely council members rejected a committee request to place money in next year’s city budget to pay for a brochure.

After a brief debate on Tuesday, the council opted against placing $1,700 in the 2027 budget for the Tour Ely brochure and instead decided to have the city’s budget committee consider the matter later this year.

At issue was a request from the city’s heritage preservation committee, which came to the council table this week.
