Human services committee items approved, including recycling grant, corrections subsidy and mobile crisis funding
Summary
The board approved six human-services consent items: a SCORE recycling grant for $220,932, a community supervision funding distribution (recorded as $8,028,465 in the packet), a Chisago County boarding agreement at $75/day, Minnesota Housing funding of $1,755,683, an AMHI allocation of $2,214,611, and a two‑year mobile crisis response grant.
The Anoka County Board unanimously approved a slate of six human-services consent items on July 28 that fund recycling, corrections supervision, housing prevention and behavioral-health programs.
Commissioner Meissner presented the items, saying the 2027 SCORE recycling contract (contract SCO126-0001191) on the agenda is for a city listed in the board packet and is for $220,932 to support municipal residential recycling. “This is specifically for the city of **** Rapids…in the amount of $220,932,” Meissner said. The board approved the full slate by roll-call vote.
Other approved items included acceptance of the community supervision funding formula subsidy from the Minnesota Department of Corrections (the packet references 8,028,465 — the transcript contains ambiguous phrasing on that figure), a boarding agreement with Chisago County (SCON-0001152) to house Anoka County adult sentenced inmates effective 07/01/2026–06/30/2027 at $75 per diem, and acceptance of Anoka County Resolution 2026 HS9 and related Minnesota Housing funds (an award amount of $1,755,683 was recorded). The board also approved a budget amendment for the Adult Mental Health Initiative (AMHI) grant ($2,214,611) and a two-year mobile crisis response services grant to support 24/7 mobile crisis response for adults and children.
The items passed unanimously. Staff noted the grants and contracts will be amended and distributed to relevant county programs and partner agencies, and that some packet figures required follow-up for format or transcription clarity.
