Members said they wanted the option of restoring those dollars as growth or need dictated. Golbuff said they could determine the dollars spent with Siouxland Mental Health when the agency's contract is before them later in the year. Changing state laws have made it difficult for the board to know what state funds will be available or what it would be allowed to budget for mental health services. Also Tuesday the board approved two zoning changes on 60 acres of land owned by Larry Book on the northern border of Woodbury Township. A parcel of 12.5 acres was rezoned from agricultural to commercial highway service.
Book plans to use some of the acreage for a landscape business.
Book said he plans to subdivide the property into homesites. The board approved the changes on a 4-1 vote, with Supervisor Larry Clausen dissenting.
