AYES: Laylin, Little, Trelka, White, Schwartz. NAYS: None. Resolution adopted. Laylin moved the following resolution seconded by Trelka. BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED to approve the Iowa Communities Assurance Pool SETTLEMENT of $22,096.22 in the matters of the claim Management Investment Corp vs. Black Hawk County. Claim involves an automobile collision between claimant and a Black Hawk County Engineer vehicle. AYES: Laylin, Little, Trelka, White, Schwartz. NAYS: None. Resolution adopted. The Board of Supervisors discussed County and Community support for the Cedar Valley Hospitality House Warming and Resource Center. Trelka said that the center has resources that help homeless persons get on the path of getting a home, and that it benefits police by giving them a simpler, less time-consuming option than they have now. He said that $105,000 is unspent in the Community Services budget and gone into reserves because COVID-19 related funding kept people from needing housing assistance, and he wanted to put $100,000 of reserve funds toward the purchase of a Warming and Resource Center. Little said the surplus belongs to the taxpayers, and the county must be cautious in spending reserves, especially since additional expenses and revenue losses related to the pandemic are unknown. He said he wouldn’t support the proposal if Waterloo isn’t pledging funds to it. Laylin said that there needs to be buy-in from the rest of the community, that the county is always looked to for funding because it has large reserves that it took years to build up, that this project hasn’t received the scrutiny or followed established protocols that other funding requests have in the past, that the Board should be careful about changing the rules for requests that supervisors are personally involved in. She asked why the current hospitality house couldn’t be used. She was dubious of approving a new expense when county departments are delaying projects due to the pandemic. She thinks an addiction crisis is coming that may exceed the Community Services budget. She said she was hoping for a more explanatory update. Trelka said that his interactions with homeless people have shown him that a lot of them have mental health issues, often exacerbated by substance abuse. He wants to make a stand, and see where others stand, and he realized all five supervisors have to make the decision. He sees the state dragging its feet. Laylin said this is a possible solution, but it shouldn’t be just the county supporting it. White agreed, and said the county doesn’t know what its own costs will be in the coming year. Schwartz said the previous site isn’t viable because a sprinkler system would cost more than the property is worth. He said that he didn’t look on the proposal as using windfall money but as investing in a program that will save the county in public health, mental health and law enforcement costs. White said that Americans for Independent Living should be involved. Laylin said that good projects in the community looking for funding need a different strategy than just approaching the county. White said that the Warming and Resource Center will have long-term needs and will continue to look for revenues. Schwartz said that the Hospitality House has been able to cover ongoing expenses. Trelka offered to move approval of a $100,000 donation, and Schwartz offered to second his motion. Laylin said she would vote no, but she is not against the project. White said he doesn’t oppose the project, but wants to know what other sources of funding there will be. Trelka then declined to offer a motion. Laylin asked to know who is on the board of the organization doing the project. Schwartz said he would provide the list of members. The Board discussed county preparedness for COVID-19. Schwartz said that school districts should have more local control than Governor Reynolds is allowing them, and that any state mandates should come with stronger guidance. White said the legislature passed a bill that will cut the County Social Services consortium in half and let the Department of Human Services run the show, when in his mind they can’t run what they have now. He said the counties and the clients will suffer. Maintenance Superintendent Rory Geving described a portable misting machine that sanitizes areas without leaving a residue. He asked if any supervisor opposed a sign by the elevators limiting then to one passenger at a time. Schwartz suggested making it one family unit. Schwartz said he would provide to Geving information he has received for walk-through temperature stands. On motion and vote the meeting adjourned.
