Supervisors approve interfund loan and transfer to seed community health fund
Summary
The board approved two fiscal resolutions June 23: a temporary $39,982.15 loan from the Hickam's family planning fund to the general basic fund and a $356,521.45 transfer to create a community health fund, both passed by roll call.
The Crawford County Board of Supervisors approved two budget actions at its June 23 meeting that county staff said will stabilize public‑health accounting as year‑end receipts are finalized.
The first resolution authorized a temporary operating loan of $39,982.15 from the Hickam's family‑planning fund to the general basic fund to cover timing differences in grant reimbursements; the resolution cited Iowa Code section 331.432 for authority to make interfund loans. A roll‑call vote recorded ayes and the motion carried.
The second resolution transferred $356,521.45 from the general basic fund into a newly established Community Health Fund to use excess revenues to blunt future tax‑ask pressure. County staff explained the transfer reflects timing and staffing variances in public‑health accounts and that reimbursements expected after June 30 should restore balances. The transfer passed on recorded votes.
Why it matters: Staff said the actions will smooth cash flow for public‑health programs and create a modest reserve for community health work without increasing current taxes. The board confirmed it will monitor budget performance in the months ahead.
What’s next: Clerk and treasurer were directed to reflect the transfers in county books and to report on the fund status in future budget monitoring.
