Supervisors approve conservation transfer, CICS 28E agreement and CSBG support letter
Summary
The Franklin County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a conservation land transfer resolution, enter a 28E employer-of-record agreement with Collaborative Individual and Community Supports (CICS), and send a letter of support for CSBG/Head Start funding.
The Franklin County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve three items: a resolution authorizing a conservation transfer, a 28E intergovernmental agreement with Collaborative Individual and Community Supports (CICS), and a letter of support for North Iowa Community Action Organization’s Community Services Block Grant (CSBG) / Head Start funding request.
The actions were taken by roll call during the meeting. Lukensmeyer, McVicker and Van Ness each registered aye on the conservation transfer resolution, the 28E agreement and the CSBG support letter. The three votes passed with no recorded dissent.
Why it matters: the conservation transfer finalizes a change in property status that affects county land holdings; the 28E agreement formalizes CICS as the county’s employer of record for certain services; and the support letter signals the county’s backing for federal CSBG funding that underpins Head Start and related programs in the region.
Details of the three votes: - Resolution authorizing conservation transfer (Resolution 22 25 22): motion moved and seconded; roll call — Lukensmeyer: Aye; McVicker: Aye; Van Ness: Aye. Outcome: passed. - Resolution entering into a 28E agreement with Collaborative Individual and Community Supports (CICS) (Resolution 20 25-23): motion moved and seconded; roll call — Lukensmeyer: Aye; McVicker: Aye; Van Ness: Aye. Outcome: passed. Meeting discussion noted CICS now covers 44 counties and that the employer-of-record arrangement covers disability-accessible services. - Letter of support for North Iowa Community Action Organization (CSBG/Head Start): motion moved and seconded; roll call — Lukensmeyer: Aye; McVicker: Aye; Van Ness: Aye. Outcome: passed. Supervisors said the county received an email requesting support, and the letter will be signed electronically if needed.
No motions were recorded as amended and no roll-call “no” or abstain votes were recorded for these items. The meeting minutes for the actions will be filed with the county clerk’s office.
