Summary
At its April 28 meeting, the Wayne County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Resolution 26‑26 authorizing FY27 local transfers to the Secondary Road Fund, allocated $5,000 in opioid‑settlement funds to SCICAP for children’s beds, and set a May 12 budget amendment hearing.
The Wayne County Board of Supervisors on April 28 unanimously approved Resolution 26‑26, authorizing periodic transfers from the General Basic and Rural Service Basic funds into the Secondary Road Fund as permitted by Iowa law, and set maximum FY27 transfer amounts. The board also approved a $5,000 allocation from county opioid settlement funds to South‑Central Iowa Community Action Program (SCICAP) for construction of beds for children, and set a public hearing on a FY26 budget amendment for May 12, 2026.
Resolution 26‑26, introduced by Chair Chris Moore, specifies that the General Basic Fund transfer for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2026 shall not exceed $85,819 and the Rural Service Basic Fund transfer shall not exceed $1,037,618, for a combined local effort limit of $1,123,437 for FY27. The resolution cites authority under Iowa Code §331.432(1)(a) and (b). The board voted to adopt the resolution; motions were made and seconded as recorded and carried unanimously by the three members present.
Supervisor Lance Lange moved, and Supervisor Todd Wilson seconded, approval of a $5,000 allocation from opioid settlement funds to SCICAP for bed construction for children; Auditor Michelle Dooley was directed to issue the payment the same day rather than waiting for the next claim cycle. The board also voted to set a FY26 budget amendment public hearing for 10:00 a.m. on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 in the Wayne County Courthouse Lower‑Level Conference Room.
Clerical and procedural items handled at the meeting included approval of the agenda, several sets of meeting minutes, payroll and claims totaling $372,444.97. The board adjourned at 10:50 a.m.; the next regular meeting was scheduled for May 12, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.
What happens next: The budget amendment public hearing is scheduled for May 12; transfers to the Secondary Road Fund will be made within the limits established by the resolution and in accordance with state apportionments and available fund balances.
