Winneshiek County supervisors approve 28E agreement with Spillville, set five‑year no‑interest payback
Summary
The Winneshiek County Board approved a W14 28E intergovernmental agreement with Spillville that includes a five‑year, no‑interest payback schedule; the board also approved a certification/cost‑allocation plan and the consent agenda during the meeting.
Winneshiek County supervisors voted to approve a W14 28E intergovernmental agreement with the city of Spillville that establishes a five‑year payback schedule with no interest, the county engineer told the board.
The board’s approval followed a motion and second; one board member abstained, citing participation in the prior meeting where terms were discussed, and the motion passed. The agenda materials show Spillville signed the agreement before it was presented for action.
Why it matters: the agreement formalizes repayment terms between the county and the city for the matter covered under the 28E arrangement and preserves a no‑interest repayment schedule requested by Spillville. The board discussed the item alongside routine road and rock bid updates.
Votes at a glance • 28E agreement with Spillville (five‑year payback, no interest): motion moved and seconded; one abstention; motion carried. • Certification and cost allocation plan: motion carried (board approved the plan that documents recoverable indirect costs for the county’s VHS/HHS building and associated state reimbursement process). • Consent agenda (minutes, claims, recorder’s monthly report, tobacco licenses for Highland General Store and Harvest Farm Campground): approved.
What the board said: the county engineer summarized the agreement and its payback term and offered the signed copy from Spillville for review. A member who had participated in the prior discussion abstained from the vote and noted that participation during earlier negotiations was their reason.
Next steps: implementation and any administrative follow‑up are handled through the county engineer’s office and the county’s administrative process; no further formal action on this agreement was recorded during the meeting.
