217.32 OFFICE SPACE IN COUNTY.
Where the department of human services assigns personnel to an
office located in a county for the purpose of performing in that
county designated duties and responsibilities assigned by law to the
department, it shall be the responsibility of the county to provide
and maintain the necessary office space and office supplies and
equipment for the personnel so assigned in the same manner as if they
were employees of the county. The department shall at least
annually, or more frequently if the department so elects, reimburse
the county for a portion, designated by law, of the cost of
maintaining office space and providing supplies and equipment as
required by this section, and also for a similar portion of the cost
of providing the necessary office space if in order to do so it is
necessary for the county to lease office space outside the courthouse
or any other building owned by the county. The portion of the
foregoing costs reimbursed to the county under this section shall be
equivalent to the proportion of those costs which the federal
government authorizes to be paid from available federal funds, unless
the general assembly directs otherwise when appropriating funds for
support of the department. Section History: Early Form
