Votes at a glance: committee forwards cancellation of stale checks, approves GAM write-off and halts broadband amendment
Summary
The Polk County committee voted to forward three items to the County Board: cancel $628.75 in outstanding checks, recommend write-off of $52,197.06 in GAM receivables, and direct staff to take no further action on an amendment to allow broadband loans under a housing resolution.
The Polk County General Government Committee took three formal actions during the meeting and voted to forward recommendations to the County Board.
First, the committee recommended that the County Board cancel $628.75 in outstanding checks that have not been cashed. Staff identified the item as routine annual housekeeping; the committee voted to forward the resolution with recommendation.
Second, the committee recommended moving forward on a write-off of $52,197.06 in outstanding receivables associated with Golden Age Manor (GAM). Staff said the list includes accounts dating back to 2022 and that the county has worked to bring collections current; the committee voted to forward the write-off with recommendation.
Third, the committee voted to take no further action on a proposed amendment to Resolution 35.23 that would have expanded a housing loan program to include broadband projects. Staff said a municipality that had sought a broadband loan has withdrawn its request; committee members expressed a preference to keep the resolution focused on housing and directed staff to stop drafting the proposed broadband amendment.
All three motions passed on voice votes; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting minutes included in the packet. Each item will be carried to the County Board for final action.
