(KLZA)-- After tabling a request for $15,000 in funding for the Falls City Chamber of Commerce in January, the Falls City Council revisited the topic Monday night. 

Since 2012 the City has provided the Chamber with $15,000 annually to help with the budget. Prior to that the funding amount was typically about $2,500. Council member Mike Dougherty asked Chamber / Main Street Executive David Branch for a copy of the budget. Monday night Branch explained the money would go into the general fund and could be used in a variety of ways from advertising to office expenses. 

Branch said expenses continue to go up, he noted that he would like to see a small increase in dues for Chamber members next year, to help reduce the impact on the city. 

Eventually the Council approved $3,000 in funding for the Chamber.
