(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors, Wednesday morning,received Fiscal Year 2023 funding requests from four entities, including the Library Association, Southern Iowa Trolley, Midwest Partnership and SICOG. All funding requests will be taken under advisement for later action during the County’s budgeting process.
The Library Association, which represents the four libraries in Adair County, each received an allotment last year from the County, of $1,500 each, or $6,000 total. This year, they are requesting $8,000, or $2,000 per library. Southern Iowa Trolley representative Leesa Lester requested about $700 less money from the County in the coming Fiscal Year than in the current year.
Southern Iowa Trolley has provided door to door service in seven Southwest Iowa counties: Adair, Adams, Clarke, Decatur, Ringgold, Taylor and Union, since 1979. Drivers are available Monday-Friday in the following towns: Greenfield, Corning, Osceola, Leon, Mt. Ayr, and Creston. Lester said business has been slowly on the increase since COVID impacted ridership.
She said also, Adair County is running about the same, ridership-wise as last year. And, Peter Johnson the new Director for Midwest Partnership told the Supervisors they are requesting the same amount of funding as in the current Fiscal Year. Johnson said their focus this year is on filling childcare and housing needs.
Tim Ostroski, with the Southern Iowa Council of Governments, requested a 2.5 cent increase for FY 23 over FY22, as a means of keeping up with inflation.
Adair County’s dues for just the rural population in the coming fiscal year will amount $3,916.89, based $1.13 ½ cents per person. As an offset, SICOG gave the County in FY2021, $3,018.24, through the Housing Trust Fund, for the General Relief Program. In essence, he said Adair County is putting $900.
In other business, the Board acknowledged the receipt of an e-mail pertaining to wind turbine noise during recent wind events. And, the Supervisors set February 2nd as the date for a public hearing on the FY22 Budget Amendment for the American Rescue Plan Act Funds. The Board approved the appointment of Bethany Smith as Treasurer Clerk and a resignation from the Condemnation Commission.
Tim Ostroski, with the Southern Iowa Council of Governments (based in Creston), requested a 2.5% increase for FY 23 over FY22. SICOG provides and coordinates community and economic development services through the delivery of planning services, technical program assistance, and grantsmanship.
