Summary
The Story County Board approved the asset board's FY27 funding recommendations and permission to carry over remaining unallocated asset funds. Sandra King reported $5,145,804 allocated to human services and an additional $270,732 set aside for basic‑needs and shelter services; board members discussed provider claims processes and oversight.
The Story County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 10 approved final FY27 asset funding recommendations from the county asset board and agreed to carry over any remaining unallocated asset funds into FY27.
Sandra King presented the recommendations, reporting that the combined total allocated to human services from asset funders was $5,145,804, with an additional $270,732 set aside for basic‑needs services, emergency shelter and mental‑health services — a combined total of $5,416,536. King also described recommended increases for several providers, including funding boosts for reentry services and daycare discounts.
Board members raised concerns about provider claims and drawdown practices. King said there are no pending asset claims at the time but noted some providers have submitted incorrect claims in the past; she warned that the county is monitoring procedures and will work with providers to correct submissions. King also said YSS (Youth and Shelter Services) has had difficulty drawing down ARPA funds and that at one point “there was close to $800,000 that YSS still had not drawn down,” prompting discussion about whether to sequester asset funds for providers with claims issues.
After discussion, the board voted to approve the FY27 asset funding recommendations and the requested carryover of any remaining unallocated funds.
