Kate Gerber, public relations manager, said some Avoca businesses experienced up to a 75% drop in sales during the boil order and restrictions; restaurants, a coffee shop, a bakery, salons, a tattoo studio and dental offices were among those affected. The event will be a coordinated day of specials and promotions intended to spur repeat business and help local merchants regain lost revenue.

Gerber said Avoca businesses will not close streets for the event; instead, individual businesses will host sales and specials. The event is planned to span much of the day — Gerber said some businesses open early and promotions could run through the evening. Organizers asked the board to help publicize the event.

The board expressed support and appreciation for the quick, grassroots response. Organizers said they will provide a recap of results to the board after the event.","Avoca Main Street, Pottawattamie County and partners organized a “Pour Into Avoca” day on June 13 to encourage patrons to support local businesses that lost up to 75% of sales during a recent boil order and water restrictions.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6208351,"Pottawattamie County outlines July 1 transition to regional Disability Access Point",289,372000,661000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3748816-066a632f3efc28d45a9c06130e0e7334&start=372&end=661","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3748816-066a632f3efc28d45a9c06130e0e7334/thumbnail_372000.jpg","/articles/6208351/Pottawattamie-County/Iowa/Pottawattamie-County-outlines-July-1-transition-to-regional-Disability-Access-Point","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208351-833ef62d3bd8fdd3e7ffde365da8f509/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200626&Signature=pA5UKZ2~KIjFXwM9eYDuqfl6UfeiuQdbzCvQ7llmW0~G4CWlWr~I~Tuo9xC-X1ayCS0Dt7MtMqy5TTkCdGBvQ65AGQOJDJ5vM9lbBJv8CJNa4mW-JuVU1DiJp37PQneR~ukyHhByubFs9Clve4b0M9SUjAFsvfueRMxR9mje9fquVdCauOwR~i7o3cspgv1Us0PhsuKzNRbnE28m1dQMVxRmQWe0-jJdwHsbfD-YagpCMCQpSGjMaR-7Ocjzu0qGN5Qh4y79a3ln90jo-uHGvNtFZ4VgeybfjsVUw-9vlIJOyC0-zlvXS5XWakUgsZLzlBSxDJoginMRAIksNRD3Lw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Pottawattamie County staff told the Board of Supervisors on June 11 that the county will begin operating a disability access point (DAP) as part of the Aging and Disability Resource Center structure on July 1.

Susan Watson, director of community services, said the county’s DAP will operate under the name Western Iowa Services Collaborative and will cover 27 counties. Watson told the board that the contract and related paperwork were still pending but that the county expects the state to begin funding services after June 30, when regional funding ends.

Watson said the county expects the DAP to assume payment for some continuity-of-care items previously funded by regions, including transportation and rent in certain cases. She also said the county received $122,000 to fund a navigator position that will perform SOAR work — a federal Social Security program to help people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and have disabilities apply for disability benefits more quickly.

Watson said she had attached a letter from Zach Ryan, director of aging disability services, indicating that the state will honor approved regional funding through June 30 for individuals and programs for six months while contracts are finalized. She also referenced materials from the state Health and Human Services website describing Aging and Disability Resource Centers and training resources from the University of Iowa.

Watson described “warm handoffs” for clients transitioning from other regions so individuals keep contact with a familiar coordinator where possible. She cautioned that the county no longer controls many elements of the system but said the DAP will serve as a stable entry point for disability services and navigation across ages and disability types.

The board thanked Watson for the update. Watson said she would return to the board with the finalized contract and any required amendments when they arrive.","County staff said Pottawattamie County will operate a disability access point (DAP) as Western Iowa Services Collaborative covering 27 counties beginning July 1; board was briefed on funding, a $122,000 navigator position, and continuity plans as state funding replaces regional funding June 30.",{"_33":123,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":124,"_41":125,"_43":126,"_45":114,"_47":127,"_49":128,"_51":129,"_53":130,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":131,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":132,"_67":56,"_68":69,"_70":56,"_71":72,"_73":72},6208355,"MidAmerican Energy donates $2,500 to Pottawattamie County trails group",195,177000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3748816-066a632f3efc28d45a9c06130e0e7334&start=177&end=372","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3748816-066a632f3efc28d45a9c06130e0e7334/thumbnail_177000.jpg","/articles/6208355/Pottawattamie-County/Iowa/MidAmerican-Energy-donates-2500-to-Pottawattamie-County-trails-group","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6208355-3769075b372807fd2896533e10075922/orig.mp4?Expires=1771200626&Signature=Yam9DhtQyGcKBUuH0LTP1LZRggF5rQDoPeXfAVN5hH2cS70D~lR4c8tnZbldleFzIFqRt8DrgMGS90JGZnKuBd8ntrwKS9OCxbJL8k6Jt5NbqeFe4u~PUq1eMQ0WKxf9f11W6uvyOL7OrWpu~d7mQfZsj2Me2Odow1eT4N8ee68CyrFPkA28Rs10LYQRctRdJing5PkIJQIUuqJPtm4noZiEn4EyViyKVqW2ygGMyVXZvKQuv2M6kh5STca2VBQwJQPNdCiK51vFGAnm5eteR8NvQacbeO5azSa2SBCvIaSZOZYkhbo0CIRKOO6S~mdRvokfUdG5LCyDBGDe3FFO~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","MidAmerican Energy presented a $2,500 check to the Pottawattamie County Trails Association during the Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors meeting on June 11.
