Community Action to reduce leased space; board weighs moving logistics

Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors and Board of Health meeting · July 30, 2026

Summary

Community Action will reduce the county's leased space by about one‑third, officials said. Board members discussed timelines, moving heavy equipment, storage options and possible volunteer help to relocate items before the September target date.

Staff informed the board that Community Action, which owns the building used by county public‑health staff, plans to reduce the county's leased footprint by roughly one‑third. The planned reduction would require a room shuffle, moving large equipment and finding storage or disposal for items the department cannot retain.

Members discussed a target move date of roughly September 1, 30‑day notice already given to the tenant, and possible use of high‑school 'silver cord' volunteer hours or other community volunteers to assist. One member asked whether the county could use the Community Services Building garage for storage, and others noted that some desks and signage would need to be moved and may present logistical challenges.

Board members asked staff to clarify which physical spaces would be retained (the north end was proposed to be kept) and to provide a list of items that required professional movers, storage, or disposal. No formal procurement or contracting action was taken during the meeting; the board asked staff to return with a moving plan and timeline.
