Tama County approves $500 contribution to ISAC amicus brief
Summary
Board approved a one-time $500 contribution to support an amicus brief being prepared by ISAC in Couser v. Shelby County, which board members said could have implications for local control.
The board considered a request from the Iowa State Association of Counties (ISAC) to help cover legal fees for an amicus brief in the case Couser v. Shelby County. Chair (S9) explained ISAC is asking counties to share the cost of legal services supporting local‑control interests; ISAC had requested a one‑time $500 contribution.
Chair (S9) framed the matter as having broad implications should the case be decided against local governments. As the chair summarized: “They had requested $500, as a contribution towards the legal fees that would help out in that case.” Committee member (S6) moved to contribute $500; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The contribution is a one‑time payment and does not create an ongoing county obligation.
