Supervisors approve joining Eastern Iowa Disability Alliance under 28E agreement
Summary
The board heard a presentation from Julie Davidson of the Disability Access Point and approved a 28E agreement to join the Eastern Iowa Disability Alliance governing board; Julie said counties will not have financial responsibility because HHS funds the program.
Julie Davidson, interim CEO of the Disability Access Point (the entity transitioning to be called Eastern Iowa Disability Alliance), briefed the board on the agency's role serving people with disabilities and invited Jackson County to participate in the governing board under a 28E agreement.
"There is no financial responsibility. We are fully funded through HHS," Davidson said, describing staff hubs that will provide coverage for Jackson County and the program's service‑navigation role for Medicaid, waiver and MCO referrals. She explained that Iowa HHS and the Administrative Service Organization (Iowa Primary Care Associates) will oversee service rules and performance measures. (Julie Davidson, presentation.)
After questions from supervisors about meeting frequency and legal form, the board moved and seconded a motion to approve and sign the 28E agreement, authorizing county participation on the governing board. The motion carried. Davidson noted the county can withdraw annually if it chooses, and she said the agency will follow up with staff to arrange local presence and quarterly governing‑board meetings if the county participates.
