Jones County Public Health FY27 budget approved with reduced part-time line

During the Jones County Public Health update, the board reviewed the FY27 budget proposed by Brad Knudson. Dr. Deb Oldham moved to approve the budget with the exception of reducing the Part-Time Help line item to $5,000 and recalculating accompanying line items; the motion was seconded by Denny Coon and approved by the board.

The minutes do not provide a line-by-line budget in the record; the motion indicates the board approved the budget conditional on the staff recalculation. Brad also provided brief updates about a billboard and vaccinations but no further budget actions were recorded for those items.
