Winneshiek County approves 28E agreement with Fort Atkinson for $101,797.82

The Winneshiek County Board of Supervisors voted to approve a 28E agreement with the City of Fort Atkinson totaling $101,797.82 to be repaid over five years at 0% interest.

A supervisor moved to approve the agreement and the motion was seconded. The board passed the motion on a voice vote; the clerk and staff discussed signature blocks and follow-up steps, including obtaining the cityrepresentative's signature and returning the executed document to county staff.

Why it matters: the 28E agreement is an intergovernmental tool that allows two governments to share costs or arrange reimbursements. This agreement represents a defined county outlay to be repaid on a zero-interest schedule and was placed on the record and approved during this session.

Next steps: county staff will coordinate signatures, collect the balance payment schedule, and work with the county attorney and closing staff on the paperwork required for implementation.
