Blade Opioid Coalition seeks county approval of 11 grants totaling $203,000
Summary
A Blade Opioid Coalition representative asked the Crow Wing County Committee of the Whole to place 11 recommended grant awards totaling $203,000 on next week’s consent agenda; commissioners confirmed a $20,000 per-application cap and agreed to the consent placement.
The Blade Opioid Coalition presented its second round of grant recommendations to the Committee of the Whole on Aug. 19 and asked the board to review and approve 11 awards totaling $203,000 at the full-board meeting next week.
"With these 11 grants, it totals $203,000," the coalition representative (identified in the transcript as Kerateri) told commissioners, and noted she had circulated additional scoring information that morning. Commissioners confirmed there had been a $20,000 cap per application and discussed that the coalition’s top scorers produced 11 awards that slightly exceeded a previously referenced $200,000 limit.
After clarifying questions, the coalition representative and the chair agreed the item should be placed on the consent agenda for the board’s regular meeting so the full board can consider the recommended awards. No final county vote on the grants took place at the Committee of the Whole meeting.
