(Shelby Co) The Shelby County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday approved a resolution to withdraw from the Articles of Agreement which formed the Workforce Development Chief Elected Official Consortium for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act of 2014.
The resolution states that Shelby County previously signed a resolution to approve the Articles of Agreement creating the Workforce Development Chief Elected Official Consortium together with 17 other counties in western and southwestern Iowa, known as the “Western Iowa Workforce Development Area”, and the 28E Agreement was filed with the Iowa Secretary of State on July 7, 2020. Article 13 of the Agreement allows counties, at their sole option, to withdraw from the Agreement at least 90 days prior to the beginning of the fiscal year.
At their meeting on January 20, 2023, the CEO Board discussed the 28E Agreement, weighing the roles and responsibilities of counties as a result of the Agreement and impacts to services offered to their citizens both under the agreement and in absence of the Agreement and the CEO Board voted 11-0 to dissolve the 28E Agreement.
