Page County approves $6,000 participation agreement with SWIPCO for regional transit
Summary
Page County supervisors approved the annual joint participation agreement with the Southwest Iowa Planning Council (SWIPCO) and authorized the chair to sign a $6,000 county contribution for the World Transit System transit project.
Page County supervisors on July 2 approved the county’s annual joint participation agreement with the Southwest Iowa Planning Council (SWIPCO) and authorized the chair to sign a $6,000 contribution to the World Transit System project.
The agreement, described by county staff as a routine July approval, covers the county’s $6,000 contribution for the program year beginning July 1. A supervisor moved to approve the joint participation agreement and another supervisor seconded; the chair recorded the voice vote as “Aye” and said “Motion carried.”
County staff said the contribution is the standard annual amount and requested only the chairman’s signature to formalize the participation. The meeting record does not show individual roll-call votes or identify the board members who moved or seconded the motion.
Why it matters: the joint participation agreement funds regional transit service (World Transit System) coordinated through SWIPCO, which provides transportation planning and transit coordination for participating counties. The county contribution helps maintain transit operations that serve residents who rely on public transportation.
