Summary

Upper Des Moines Opportunities presented its annual report and asked Wright County to repeat last year’s $16,000 contribution; the agency said the county’s $16,000 supported $266,128 in direct services within Wright County over the previous year.

Julie Edwards, representing Upper Des Moines Opportunities, presented the agency’s annual report to the Wright County supervisors and requested $16,000 in county funding for FY2027 — the same amount provided last year.

Edwards said the county’s $16,000 funded outreach in Eagle Grove and contributed to $266,128 in direct services to Wright County residents between Oct. 1, 2024 and Sept. 30, 2025. She reviewed client counts, noting 325 outreach visits and 297 housing-related contacts for the year; weatherization services served three homes. Edwards also described new data systems that enabled unduplicated client counts and acknowledged the systems are not yet fully synchronized.

Board members asked clarifying questions about which figures were Wright County–specific and which were ADMO-wide; Edwards confirmed the figures in the packet were for Wright County outreach. Supervisors indicated they would consider the $16,000 request during upcoming budget hearings.

No formal vote on the funding request was taken during the meeting; the board recorded the presentation and asked staff to include the request in budget planning.
