Floyd County Board of Health Packet Summary — July 20, 2026
Key Items on the Agenda
The Floyd County Board of Health is scheduled to meet at 5:30 p.m. on July 20, 2026, at the Floyd County Public Health/Home Health Care office, 1003 Gilbert Street in Charles City. A call-in option is also listed on the agenda.
The board is scheduled to acknowledge guests, consider approval of the meeting agenda, and consider minutes from the May 18, 2026 meeting before receiving reports from Floyd County Public Health/Home Health Care and the county sanitarian.
Public Health and Home Health Care
Gail Arjes, R.N., is scheduled to present the Floyd County Public Health/Home Health Care report. The agenda includes an I-Smile item involving Lezah Hansen, a year-to-date budget review, public health updates, and a Home Health Care update.
Public health updates are expected to cover the Tobacco Grant, Combat Cancer, and general public health activities.
Items Listed for Action
The Public Health/Home Health Care portion of the agenda identifies four matters for board action:
- Posting of the Board of Health agenda.
- Annual approval of policies and procedures.
- Annual approval of the Floyd County Public Health preparedness plan.
- Approval of standing orders.
The packet does not provide further details about the proposed policies, preparedness plan, standing orders, or changes that may be associated with these action items.
Sanitarian Report
County Sanitarian Jessy Willadsen is scheduled to provide a report covering the year-to-date budget, wells and septic systems, and nuisance matters. The packet does not identify specific projects, cases, expenditures, or proposed actions associated with these updates.
What to Watch at the Meeting
The most consequential scheduled items are the four public-health matters explicitly designated for action, particularly the annual approvals of policies and procedures and the preparedness plan. The agenda also places year-to-date budget information before the board in both the Public Health/Home Health Care and sanitarian reports.
Because the packet consists of the agenda and does not include supporting reports or handouts, it does not specify budget figures, proposed policy revisions, details of the preparedness plan, or the substance of the standing orders.
