During an unrelated question at the Urbandale meeting, staff reported Polk County held a special meeting and appropriated $1,000,000 to three organizations to increase food supply; staff said they will share details with the council in writing.
During a procedural question near the end of the municipal-code discussion, David (staff) told the council Polk County held a special meeting and appropriated $1,000,000 to three organizations to expand food supplies.
"They met last week... and appropriated a million dollars for 3 organizations," David said, adding that he would circulate more detailed information in writing to the council.
David said two of the organizations identified in Polk County’s action are expected to receive funding that could benefit Urbandale-area food pantries, and that staff is monitoring related federal legislative movement as well.
