Background:
To streamline the contract process between the City of Minneapolis and the various departments within the county that perform human and social services, medical/health services, and employment and training, a Master Grant Contract was developed for receivables from the City of Minneapolis for the period January 1, 2003 through December 31, 2007, later extended through December 31, 2010, then through December 31, 2015, then through December 31, 2020, then through December 31, 2025, and now through December 31, 2028. This agreement is a renewal of the initial Master Grant Contract.
Hennepin County Public Health has received funding for various programs and services through individual Funds Availability Notices with the City of Minneapolis. Funding usually involves pass-through of federal or state dollars.
Hennepin County Public Health is seeking approval of Agreement A2513160 on behalf of all Hennepin County departments that may receive funding through the City of Minneapolis. In addition, the department requests that the board delegate approval of subsequent Fund Availability Notices to the County Administrator. These Funds Availability Notices will outline the agreements between the various county departments and the City of Minneapolis. The city and the county will mutually agree upon the individual Funds Availability Notices, and the County Attorney’s Office will review each one prior to County Administrator approval. The benefits of this system include reducing the number of agreements for board approval and a swifter approval process for the Funds Availability Notices.
This request supports disparity elimination in the health domain by allowing for funding to provide staffing and resources in an expedient manner to serve community needs.
