The Dunn County Crime Prevention Funding Board approved an $8,000 grant to Dunn County Crime Stoppers to support a crime-prevention project scheduled to run from Jan. 1, 2026, through Jan. 1, 2027.

Chair (name not specified) opened the board’s review of 2026 applications, telling members, "We received 1 application from Dunn County Crime Stoppers, and with a request of $8,000, to fund their project, crime prevention project from 01/01/2026 through 01/01/2027." The chair made the motion to approve the application; another member seconded it, and the board voted to approve the request. The meeting record shows an affirmative voice vote and the chair announced the motion passed; no roll-call or numeric tally was recorded in the transcript.

Board members heard no public comments on the item. Sarah (staff) confirmed during roll call that this was the only application received for the 2026 grant cycle. The chair also noted the board has "previously approved funding, above and beyond that," but did not specify amounts or recipients for prior awards in this meeting.

The board also approved the minutes from its Oct. 8 meeting before taking up the funding item. At the close of the meeting, the chair and staff discussed tentative future meetings: a review of the application process in October next year and a December meeting next year for funding approvals; Sarah will set and circulate the exact dates.
