Board approves county use by Blackhawk County Mobile Clinic amid insurance hurdles
Summary
The board approved use of county courthouse parking and other county lots for three mobile-clinic dates after a representative said insurance requirements have delayed placing the unit at other host sites; the clinic aims to expand frequency if host-site issues resolve.
The Board of Supervisors unanimously approved a motion on July 14 allowing the Blackhawk County Mobile Clinic to use county grounds for three dates this summer and early fall (July 30, Aug. 16 and Sept. 30).
Caitlin, who was online for the item, said the county-site requests stem from liability and insurance requirements at potential host locations that have delayed establishing sites. She told supervisors the mobile unit team hopes the July–September dates will verify the model and that, if insurance and host-site arrangements stabilize, the unit could eventually operate as frequently as once a week during warmer months. Board members asked about planning and scheduling; Caitlin said conversations with host sites are ongoing and she remains hopeful for a broader schedule in the future.
The board authorized the chair to sign the motion permitting the mobile clinic’s use of county property for the stated dates.
