A WIC staffer asked Floyd County commissioners to cover a roughly $4,000 shortfall after state cuts would reduce the local coordinator’s hours; commissioners discussed using riverboat funds and agreed to table the request for formal appropriation until October.

The full story

Krista, a member of the Floyd County WIC staff, told commissioners the state is cutting the county WIC budget for the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1, and that the local WIC coordinator will lose two work hours weekly. She asked the county to supplement the coordinator’s pay with $3,470.48 for salary and $758.30 for fringe benefits to preserve client services.
