Marshall County Board of Health approves $91,909 LPHS award, shifts reporting to 8 foundational services
Summary
The board approved the Local Public Health Services FY27 application for $91,909 and authorized Director Sydney Grewell to sign, noting that reporting will move to the 8 Foundational Public Health Services starting July 1, 2026.
The Marshall County Board of Health on March 23 approved the Local Public Health Services (LPHS) FY27 application awarding $91,909 and authorized Director Sydney Grewell to sign the contract.
Board members said the grant and corresponding contract will require the department to report under the state’s 8 Foundational Public Health Services beginning July 1, 2026. Jim Goodman moved to approve the application and contract; Kim Elder seconded the motion, which passed unanimously with no abstentions.
The board discussed the contract period presented in the minutes as beginning July 1, 2026; the minutes list an end date of June 30, 3032 for the multi-year contract, which appears to be a typographical error in the record and should be clarified with the auditor or Iowa HHS. Staff said the director’s reports will follow the 8 foundational-services reporting framework after July 1, 2026.
The motion instructs the director to sign the LPHS contract and implement reporting changes; no conditions or dissent were recorded. The board filed the contract documentation with the minutes.
