UPDATE (Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2023): The Indianola City Council met for a regular meeting on Monday, Sept. 16, followed by a joint meeting with the Indianola Wellness Campus Board of Trustees. The meetings can be viewed at the City's YouTube channel.
Indianola Mayor Stephanie Erickson and council members kicked off the regular meeting by presenting a $25,000 check to the Des Moines Metro Opera in partnership with Simpson College. This generous donation, sourced from hotel/motel taxes, will support the Blank Theatre Study with a facility analysis, identifying opportunities for DMMO and bringing even more benefits to the community and visitors.
Additionally, Mayor Erickson recognized Indianola Police Chief Brian Sher, who is celebrating 30 years of service to Indianola.
"Your work has gone beyond just enforcing the law," Mayor Erickson said. "It has been about building trust, fostering relationships and ensuring that every member of this community feels seen, heard and protected."
