The Story County Board of Supervisors’ regular meeting on October 20, 2026, included presentations on three Colo housing initiatives seeking county support through the LMI housing program. Contigo LLC and the city described a redevelopment project to clear a site and build up to five rental units, requesting $250,000. The Lounsberry Edition proposal would develop a 15-lot subdivision, with a request of up to $200,000 for down-payment assistance to income-qualified buyers on four homes (with flexibility to assist more buyers if less than $50,000 per buyer is needed). A separate Homes for Iowa partnership requested $240,000 to prepare a property for a new home, with proceeds intended to support development of a second lot after the first home is sold. Speakers also noted that ARPA assistance is supporting subdivision infrastructure, including sewer work planned to begin this year. The board took no vote on these funding requests or housing proposals.

The HR quarterly report noted that the county had moved ancillary insurance products to Mutual of Omaha, providing additional employee benefit options and lowering the county’s long-term disability cost; it also reported ongoing implementation of the UKG Ready HR system and a compensation study expected to inform upcoming budget discussions. The board discussed a proposed homelessness task force but took no formal action. Motions approving the agenda, prior meeting minutes, consent agenda, and adjournment passed; none concerned a procurement award or spending authorization.
