(KLZA)-- During the June 8 Pawnee City Council meeting, it was decided to spend a surprise windfall of $500 toward a repair project.

City Clerk Tami Curtis received a $500 check in the mail from a  woman in Council Bluffs. 

Along with the check was a letter from Ann Carlson explaining that some 45 years ago she had failed to pay a $500 bill at an auto body shop in Pawnee City that no longer exists.

Carlson directed the money to be used for something in the community. 

Currently the stained glass window in the Cornerstone Building is being repaired.  Curtis said the Council decided to put the funds toward the repair of the stained glass that will be placed inside the building once it is repaired.
