Supervisors approve $270 LOST contribution for six to attend Iowa Creative Places Exchange
Summary
The board approved using $270 of Local Option Sales Tax funds to register six people — county staff and local partners — to attend the Iowa Creative Places Exchange in Burlington on May 9; travel and lodging were not requested.
The Story County Board of Supervisors approved a request on April 22 to use $270 from Local Option Sales Tax (LOST) funds to register six participants — county staff and local partners — for the Iowa Creative Places Exchange in Burlington on May 9.
Presenter Chris (name as spoken in the meeting) said the delegation would include county staff, one supervisor, planning and development staff, and representatives from historical societies or the Story County Economic Development Group. The goal is to explore collaborative, countywide projects that could involve arts or joint development initiatives rather than city‑by‑city efforts.
The presenter said the $270 would cover registration at a discounted group rate if the county registers more than three people. He said the group plans a one‑day trip (the main program is Friday, May 9) and will carpool in a county vehicle if available; the request did not include lodging costs.
A supervisor moved approval of the $270 allocation from LOST funds to pay registration fees for six attendees; the motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote. The transcript records Merkin, Hazel and Heddens responding “Aye.” The board authorized staff to proceed with registration.
