Kosciusko County approves five‑year service agreement with welfare organization totaling rising annual payments
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved a five‑year service agreement with the county’s welfare organization (presented as AWL) covering 2025–2029, with annual payments rising from $185,000 in 2025 to about $208,219 in 2029 and a county termination right.
The Kosciusko County Board of Commissioners approved a five‑year service agreement with the county welfare organization identified in the agenda materials (referred to in the meeting as AWL). The contract covers calendar years 2025 through 2029 and establishes annual payments that increase each year.
County staff reviewed the multi-year payment schedule on the record: $185,000 for 2025; $190,550 for 2026; $196,266.50 for 2027; $202,154.50 for 2028; and $208,219.14 for 2029. County staff said the agreement allows the board to terminate at any time if it determines the funds are not being used as intended, even if amounts have already been appropriated.
Commissioners moved, seconded and approved the agreement by voice vote. The auditor and county attorney had reviewed the contract prior to the meeting, and the county noted the board retains discretion to end the contract if necessary.
What was not specified in the meeting: The organization’s full formal name and the specific programmatic deliverables tied to annual payments were not read into the record during the commissioners’ discussion. The transcript indicates a representative (Dan Woods) was present and invited to comment but no public remarks were recorded during the item.
Why it matters: The five‑year commitment obligates county funds on an annual schedule and includes a termination clause that preserves commissioner discretion over future appropriations.
