Summary
Des Moines County public health reported a $2,000 donation from Linda Long's estate for the Iowa '2 by 4' mini home project to house a homeless veteran; health staff also highlighted immunization clinics and environmental health grant activity.
Christian Pobenmore, speaking for public health, told the board the department is conducting additional immunization clinics for back-to-school season and that environmental health and grant activities are progressing. He said the department had signed most grants for the new fiscal year though some funding levels are reduced.

The board acknowledged the donation and expressed appreciation for Linda Long’s longtime work for veterans.
Public health staff said they will continue to provide first aid at the county fair and participate in National Night Out; no additional funding requests or action items were recorded in the meeting minutes.
