Bi-County Services asks Wells County for $47,678 in 2027 funding as staffing struggles continue
Summary
Bi-County Services requested the same Wells County contribution of $47,678 for 2027 to continue serving 59 county residents, citing staffing and retention challenges linked to a Medicare funding freeze; the council said it will consider the request during the 2027 budget process.
At the June 2, 2026 Wells County Council meeting, Tim Ramsey of Bi-County Services presented the agency's annual financial update and requested the same county contribution of $47,678 for 2027 to continue serving 59 Wells County residents.
Ramsey told the council that staffing and retention are Bi-County’s biggest challenges and said staffing levels have been affected by a Medicare funding freeze. He said Adams County commissioners and council and Wells County commissioners have already approved the contribution amount, and that Wells County Council will act on the request during next year’s budget process.
The presentation provided a county-level snapshot of the nonprofit’s service load (59 residents served in Wells County) and a funding ask intended to maintain current service levels. Council members did not vote on the funding request at the meeting; Ramsey said the formal approval would come through the 2027 budget hearings.
Next steps: Wells County Council will consider the contribution as part of the 2027 county budget process.
