Summary

The board approved a memorandum of understanding with the county deputy association, set a public hearing on FY26‑27 tax rates for March 24 at 1 p.m., and approved 20/80 agreements for Tales of Hope and Healthy Harvest of North Iowa as open‑ended allocations.

The Board of Supervisors approved several administrative items on the agenda: a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the county deputy association, a public hearing date on proposed tax rates, and 20/80 funding agreements with two local nonprofits.

Staff reported the MOU was prepared by counsel and reviewed by the deputy union representative; supervisors approved the agreement and agreed that substantive language changes would require union negotiation. The board then set a separate public meeting for the FY26‑27 tax hearing on March 24 at 1:00 p.m. so the county can meet publication deadlines.

Auditor staff explained that '20/80' agreements are required when the county provides budget allocations to a nonprofit; the board approved 20/80 agreements for Tales of Hope and Healthy Harvest of North Iowa and authorized them as open‑ended so they do not require annual renewal.

All three measures were adopted by voice vote during the meeting and will be executed by the auditor’s office as appropriate.
