§ 145A.11 — Powers and Duties of City and County

Plain-Language Summary

This section describes the additional powers and duties that city councils and county boards have when they participate in a community health board. These include the ability to levy taxes for community health services, enter into joint powers agreements with other governmental units, and act within the community health board's jurisdiction.

Practical Notes
City councils and county boards that are part of a community health board have both the authority and the responsibility to fund public health services through property tax levies. Residents who want more funding for local public health programs should engage with their city council or county board during the annual budget process.
