Speaker 1, a board member, reported on recent discussions at Central Iowa Juvenile Detention and flagged concern over a proposed 28E agreement that could leave counties responsible for future debts even if membership terms change. He said the county was effectively "locked out" of some discussions and described a prior capital addition: "two years ago, you voted to add 1,000,000 dollar addition to the building" and noted "still $800,000 left on the debt."

Board members debated options. Speaker 1 said one board member suggested repaying original investments so all counties would "start over" on equal footing under a new 28E agreement. Speaker 4 and others said the detention operation had been run profitably in the past and warned that new terms could shift financial responsibilities onto member counties. No formal vote or authorization to change membership or funding was taken; members agreed to monitor developments and consult with counsel and other counties before any action.

The board also discussed operational continuity and leadership changes at the detention center; Speaker 1 noted a newly hired director (Cassie) and that some staff remained intact. Members did not commit to rejoining under the new terms and emphasized the need for clarity about who would bear potential liabilities if the consortium encounters financial trouble.
