The Brown County Commission Tuesday received an additional request for American Rescue Plan Act Funds from the county.

Representatives of Mission Village Living Center, in Horton, met with the Commission to request a total of $56,000. CEO Bruce Bird said the funds are needed to purchase two commercial washing machines, a non-commercial washing machine, two hot water heaters and for the removal of carpet from walls.

Commission Chairman Lamar Shoemaker said the request will be added to the commission's list for consideration.

In other business, bids were opened for the right-to-harvest 60 acres of brome hay at the county landfill for calendar years 2023-2025. Commissioners accepted a bid from Troy Kolb, of rural Hiawatha, for $1,600 per year. It was among two bids received. The other bid was for $982 per year.

There is a new Meals on Wheels provider for north Brown County. County Services for the Elderly Director Wanda Davis informed commissioners, when they met last Friday, that the Bread Bowl, in Hiawatha, has agreed to provide the meals for $5 a meal. Brown County will pay $4 of the cost, with the recipient responsible for $1. The meals had previously been provided by Mission Village.
