Dallas County Board of Health approves immunization grant, local public health contract and DNR pumper purchase; Marion County 28E agreement approved pending 28
Summary
On April 16 the Dallas County Board of Health approved the FY2027 Immunization Grant Amendment (PHTHOIP26025), Local Public Health Services Contract (PHTHOLP27025), and a DNR pumper contract (26ESDWQBEWIK-0001); the Marion County Combat Cancer 28E agreement was approved pending addition of 28E language and filing with the Secretary of State; a FY2026 budget amendment was also approved pending a line-item adjustment.
The Dallas County Board of Health on April 16 unanimously approved a series of grants, contracts and a budget amendment that the board said will fund local public-health activities and equipment.
The board approved the FY2027 Immunization Grant Amendment (PHTHOIP26025) and the FY2027 Local Public Health Services Contract (PHTHOLP27025), authorizing Suzanne Hegarty to sign both documents. The board also approved the DNR Intergovernmental Services Pumper Contract (26ESDWQBEWIK-0001) and authorized Chair Kim Chapman to sign the pumper contract.
Suzanne Hegarty presented a Marion County Combat Cancer 28E Agreement, funded through the Rural Health Transformation Grant, and reported comments from the Dallas County Attorney’s office noting the draft did not explicitly label itself as a 28E intergovernmental agreement and that it did not confirm filing with the Iowa Secretary of State’s office. Lina Tucker Reinders moved to approve the agreement on the condition that Marion County add 28E verbiage and confirm it will file with the Secretary of State; the motion, seconded by Oliver Bardwell, passed unanimously with the county authorizing Hegarty to sign once the conditions are met.
Hegarty also presented FY2026 Budget Amendment #2 and said one miscellaneous refund needed to be moved to a different line so the net expense would be zero. Oliver Bardwell moved to approve the amendment pending that line-item adjustment; Lina Tucker Reinders seconded and the motion carried with all ayes.
All routine votes at the April 16 meeting recorded unanimous approval among the three members present (Chair Kim Chapman, Oliver Bardwell and Lina Tucker Reinders) unless otherwise noted. The board adjourned at 6:37 p.m.; its next meeting is scheduled for May 21, 2026.
