# October 27, 2026 Board of Supervisors Regular Meeting

The Dallas County, Iowa, Board of Supervisors’ regular meeting on October 27, 2026, approved a statement of work with Holmes Murphy to take the county’s pharmacy benefits manager arrangement to market through an RFP and assess potential savings. The county currently has pharmacy benefits tied to its medical plan with Walmart; the consultant cited approximately $2 million in annual pharmacy spending and discussed Walmart’s changed pricing and rebate terms for groups under 1,000 participants. The board approved the proposal, but no new pharmacy vendor or contract award was made. The board also approved payroll change notices for three part-time EMS employees and an HR director’s out-of-state travel request; no travel cost was stated.

The board approved revisions to the county pay plan while leaving the proposed changes to internal-candidate compensation for later consideration. It approved a final plat for Whites Panther Creek Acres and the first reading of an ordinance related to another development, and discussed scheduling a groundbreaking for the EMS building without taking a procurement or spending action. Staff also presented an overview of Iowa annexation procedures and discussed a preliminary involuntary annexation proposal involving Waukee. No other contract awards, bid approvals, or capital project spending decisions were identified.
