Polk County panel postpones Meals on Wheels presentation after Milltown community center fire
Summary
The Health & Human Services committee moved the ADRC Meals on Wheels presentation to next month after Milltown Community Center, a main meal site for Polk County, burned; members asked staff to circulate a brief update and donation information in the meantime.
The Polk County Health & Human Services committee voted to postpone an ADRC "Meals on Wheels" presentation to next month's meeting after members said the Milltown Community Center — described by a committee member as a main meal site for Polk County — burned and ADRC staff were unable to prepare.
Chair and other members framed the postponement as a practical response to the incident and moved that the agenda be approved with the ADRC item rescheduled. The chair said, "That was a main meal site for Polk County, and the staff is scrambling to make ultimate arrangements for people there." The motion to accept the agenda with the ADRC presentation moved to the next meeting carried.
Several supervisors asked for a short, written status update rather than a full presentation. One supervisor suggested the county administrator circulate a brief note describing "what happened" and "what we're doing" to bridge services in the interim. Staff said ADRC has a donation account and a Facebook post with information about where donations can be accepted; supervisors were told the county administrator would share any written update with board members.
The committee did not take further formal action on the site or funding at the meeting; members said they expected ADRC to return with a fuller presentation at the rescheduled date.
