Board approves Medicaid billing contract, budget-adjustment levy and several purchases
Summary
The Interstate 35 board approved a two‑year Medicaid billing agreement at a 6% net rate, a budget adjustment resolution invoking Iowa Code §257.14, and multiple procurement/maintenance items including classroom furniture, a transportation lift, bus repairs and a natural‑gas program subscription.
The Interstate 35 Community School District board approved a set of action items during the meeting, including a two‑year Medicaid billing agreement, a budget‑adjustment levy resolution and several equipment and procurement purchases.
The board approved a two‑year Medicaid billing agreement with Relay Services (the successor to Timberline) at a 6% net Medicaid rate; administrators said the rate was favorable for a smaller district and that Relay had merged with Timberline. The board also approved a resolution to levy property taxes for fiscal year 2026–27 to secure a regular program budget adjustment authorized under Iowa Code §257.14; administrators said the precise funding mechanics would be reviewed in an upcoming workshop.
Other approved items included a $31,160.26 purchase of third‑grade classroom furniture from Herz, a $7,185 replacement lift from Gray Manufacturing for the transportation department, an invoice payment of $10,623.23 for bus #1 repairs, and enrollment in the Iowa LGRP natural gas program for $85,664.19 for 2026–27 (the program caps exposure in cold years and can produce refunds in low‑usage years). Board members moved and seconded each action and approved them by voice vote; the transcript records approvals but does not identify movers/seconders or provide a named roll‑call tally for each vote.
Administrators noted that some procurement choices reflected budget schedules (classroom furniture rotation) and operational necessity (transportation lift replacement and bus repairs). The board set its next meeting for Monday, April 27 at 6 p.m. and adjourned.
