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.
Hennepin County Public Health has received funding for various programs and services through individual Fund Availability Notices with the City of Minneapolis. Funding usually involves pass-through of federal or state dollars.
Through resolution 25-0443 R1 the Board approved the Master Grant Contract with the City of Minneapolis for the period January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2028, and delegated approval of subsequent Fund Availability Notices to the County Administrator. Hennepin County Public Health is seeking approval of Amendment 1 to Agreement A2513160 on behalf of all Hennepin County departments that may receive funding through the City of Minneapolis. This amendment increases the Master Grant Contract NTE to $4,770,000, which can then be awarded to Hennepin County programs through Fund Availability Notices. These Fund 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 Fund 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 Fund 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.
