Council on Aging asks Morrison County for $3,131 to support local elder services
Summary
Laurie Burlson of the Central Minnesota Council on Aging reviewed regional older‑adult demographics and asked Morrison County for a $3,131 contribution for 2027 to support programs that delivered more than $216,000 in services locally last year.
Laurie Burlson, Executive Director of the Central Minnesota Council on Aging, presented the council’s 2025 and 2026 data to the board and asked Morrison County for a small county contribution to leverage federal Older Americans Act funds. Burlson said the council is the designated area agency on aging for a 14‑county region and detailed service usage in Morrison County, including rides, home‑delivered meals and caregiving supports.
Burlson told the board, "So we are requesting $3,131 for 2027," and explained that the amount is a pro‑rata share of a regional request that helps leverage roughly $216,000 in Older Americans Act funds invested in Morrison County last year. She highlighted county demographics — a larger share of older adults compared with the state average — and urged continued partnership to support in‑home services and caregiver supports.
