One implementation. Discussed. Yes, and we have quite a discussion and presentation on this last week, but because this is when we're voting on it, I thought I would ask the county manager just to give a high-level recap. So we understand what we're voting the case. Anybody else had any additional thoughts to share today. Yeah, thank you, commissioner. Members of the board as Commissioner Devin Singh indicated last week the board board presentation.

From the Financial Assistance Services Department about the impending impacts of HR one. We parsed out that the conversation was just primarily about the most immediate impacts and that there would be other conversations as we move into the 2027 supplemental budget discussions as well over the past couple The F a S department in partnership lots of areas around the county has done a significant amount of improvement of our around things that we can control when it comes to serving our residents around these eligibility services. Despite all those efforts, we know that HR one impacts our unique 4 ares ice here in Ramsey County, particularly because we're part of a the state of Minnesota state. Supervise County administered system where there are many things that we don't have control over as a result of ice having to deliver the services when it comes to particularly snap and Medicaid. And with some of the impending changes around medical assistance, workload impacts, we are going to be seeing some additional work due to expand kind of. expanded renewals eligibility checks that we have to do.

That's going to require additional fte in addition, we have snap workload impacts as well around additional increase case reviews, resident communications. The changes also require more manual notices, change processing. So basically a lot more administrative burden on behalf of the county, the full impact of what you're looking at today is 17 fte those are going to be primarily eligibility specialists as well supervisor roles. We are looking to get some contingency dollars so that they can begin the hiring as they describe last week. We are subject to the state hiring process and timelines and we want to ensure that we're not at risk of being able to meet that. The needs of our community as well as being in compliance of the F the work as well. So we need to get ahead of that a little bit. We'll discuss sort of the ongoing impacts of those investments as part of the 27 supplemental budget is I mentioned, but we do need some more immediate action allowing for these he's in contingency funds to get us started immediately. thank you, Mr.

Sharon and appreciate That recap. Just for clarification is the goal to have all 17.5 positions filled by October of this year. I will have to ask Dr Ali to come up and answer his timing on the hires. With many checked with the kind of we a victory so upon is tool the city 50 east that he had a questing 12 most of the buzz it would be in Medicaid. idea medical assistant in Florida and have with the know, it's not program. So goal is to hide.

It notes that hiding public group. So that would be that guy buy, you know, speak up next to it because it is significant training time that's needed. So we wanted to make sure that people that it wants to put it. You know, when the program that the school to start. Thank you know, that was my next question is what training look like. How long that take? So that's reason why we're taking this this action now. So we're kind of done our due diligence. So by the time January one hits, we'll have people positioned itself get gas. And for my understanding what with annual cost we had no, this 3.63. is is it just for remain of this Like what would be the annual cost moving forward for these additional.

The physical that the commission like you know, kind of monitor were covered in detail the next to no budget presentation. But this, you know, 10 to 6 to 2000 is call to fall in. for this Commissioner the annual impact is just a little over a million dollars. We mentioned it would be 0.2 5% property tax Levy Johnson. Thank you, Mr. Chair and county manager back. I know you mentioned that this last week ready to our director alley. Remind the public again what the county is liable for our payment error do not And if a failed decrease it as a county and as a state.

That's a important question. Snow up indicate a under odd one brings know multiple policy changes which increases in only abilities and try to muscle 50's cut In addition to a petition in both 2, which you know, managing the caseload. So for before today. That is something called snap payment at all. Right. With communities that get out, how much you the case is impacted by would in order and debate. It. That's quite enough. payment at a rate as of today that it's not pennant depended to associated with that, you know, at a rate. But under one, it is going to be a penalty. If you payment rate is above 6 percentage, right? This is moved for comment. O'leath his estate quite so even if you Connie does better ever to think this is a look that the statewide as of today, state of Minnesota standards, 12 point. Some think payment at a rate which is integrated into a 50% of the fiscal in both the statewide.

And what does that cost? Number 2 Ramsey County commissioners on our current estimate this would take would be in effect until 2028. But I estimated increase would about 9.2 million dollars for the benefits. Caution if that would come as a result of that rate. I just want to add that, you know, that is substantial. When we're talking about just percentages on the levee. I just want to share this with my constituents who are thinking, course, tracking our budget and conversations that these are unfunded mandates that we have to carry out. And as state law as written are ready, is that those costs ships born and thereby between the county and the state. And so unless that changes Manzi County will faced that amount in the next few years. And 28, the overall statewide payment, your rate does not go down or if they're not changes in the law. So I just wanted name that. That 1 million here for the amount of workload that is coming and also to support staff this is one of the reasons why would support it now. as a follow-up to that, County manager background one.

If you can provide kind of a update on some of efforts that were taking as a county to reach out to our federal partners, our state partners to one get additional help on these potential costs that are coming our way on the interim one a well as what efforts may be on the federal level, specifically to try to pause. The passage of this particular aspect of the bill. Yeah, thank you, Commissioner McMurtry. We've been doing a primarily in partnership with our statewide association, talk about that in a minute. But even around the farm bill itself, I know our government relations team and our F a S over te through the summer have connected directly with federal delegation and also did have a chance to meet Senator Boseman's office as well. I believe is the chair of a committee. And so we did forward a letter about these anticipated impact signed by commissioner are Tang and I and we've worked closely Julie Ring over at AMC to tell kind of the bigger statewide story.

I mean, really, as I mentioned, we just cannot lose sight that we are one of 10 states that are really in a unique position in terms of how this bill impacts local governments, particularly counties as we deliver these really critical services to residents. I will say, as I said last week, we have a lot of work to do if the legislature this year upon my presentation to you all of our 2027 supplemental budget. We plan to connect with our Ramsey County delegation as well. I just talked Commissioner McGuire about that yesterday. We are going to talk a lot about what the state shake focus on when it comes to the snow slide. Next legislative session. And for me, it's very simple. It's just really 3 things we've been tlking to see into the metro counties as well about the sme 3 things that is that's the snap administrative funding. While we received a little bit of relief and one-time money for 2027, it is not going to be enough as we go look into the future.

It is the benefit cost share that. Commissioner John mention and it is potential long-term support services funding changes. And so I know both of you Commissioner McGuire in question was where tree serve on the AMC board. Attack to both of you yesterday about bringing that message forward on our behalf as well. So we need to protect Ramsey County taxpayers. We need to protect the challenges before us and really get very specific about the impacts of these 3 particular air pressures while very cognizant of a greater our human service possible role, responsibilities, reset. Those are all really important conversations. But those are going to take a little bit longer to get through. And we're appreciative to have those conversations in partnership with our other counties. But we really need manage this unsustainable pressure that is coming on on taxpayers and Minnesota. So particularly county that helpful. Commissioner. thank you, Mr. Chair and I just going to keep the conversation going about how important.

This issue is for us and how really devastating it is the this HR one that we did fight. Our elected officials fought this. We did not want this to pass. We knew that this would be a really bad bill for counties, especially. And especially states like Minnesota, which as we've been saying is one of 10 that a benefit that are being affected in this really negative way. And our federal representative Senator Smith in college are both fight it and Congresswoman Betty McCollum. But we didn't have the votes elections do matter. And unfortunately, this is a legislation that is really going to continue to counties. I mean, this is one way. This is one indication and and it's going to keep happening as we as we go on these next years. The impacts are going to continue to be felt. So we are I'm so grateful to our county manager to our government relations team to all of us for our participation in our state and federal association because we're combining joining forces with counties who are in our state and our country that are are feeling the same pain and where, you know, letting Washington, D.

C. know that this is how this is affecting us and hopefully we'll get some changes in the makeup of a her Congress. So we can, you know, deal with some of these really bad the this bad, the impacts of this legislation is having on all of us. So I appreciate the work that we're doing too, make it all work, but it and we just have to keep working on and seeing what we can do to if we can delay it. If we can work on fun, getting help from the state and that's going to be our legislative this year. As we've been saying. And so we just have a lot of work to do to 2 try t diminish all the impact that this HR one is is having on all of Thank you for all your work. County Manager Becker everyone in the county that's that's trying to make this. least. You know, onerous to our to our residents.

Yeah, I just I just wanted to to add to our conversation here, the idea that just a reminder, you know, w had a really robust conversation on Folks are interested in the details you last last week's presentation was quite thorough and I appreciate staff presenting that to us. We have time to to digest. And just a reminder again, as my colleagues have said, HR one created numerous unfunded mandates. And this is just one of them. So this is just and they're going to impact our Ramsey County budget and property taxes. And and the issue with this one is the federal and state rules and regulations and guidelines of how we are to admister these funds are still being presented to us in real time.

So there's very little on ramp to implement these with any kind of Fidelity's. So I appreciate the forethought of of county leadership for acting now. So we have some reasonable hope of being able to hire and train people and implement this in time. This is not work that we had on our plates when we adopted our biannual budget. This came in too late for us to be able to really incorporate into our biennial budget, which is why we have to address this now. And it's it's an addition that's being forced on us by the federal government. And I encourage any property tax owners that upset with this small increase now and what we anticipate to be larger increases later to talk to their congressional and legislative delegations to see if they can mitigate any of the harms by the cost being borne directly by the county's we know poperty taxes are regressive. There are other ways to pay for these services. And I encourage folks have their voices be heard at every level. And just to remind folks that elections matter, these are the kinds of questions you should be asking the candidates at every level as to how they're going to address how to pay for these important services to our community. So thank you. Seeing no further discussion roll call. been saying Aye McGuire. I think my tree. Miller, I county commissions. Yeah.

Thank you, Mister Chair. I wanted to ensure that everyone knows that HR has implemented a new partner. For our emergency Assistance program recently. So new vantage is our new eap partner. They bring together comprehensive resources with a strong Minnesota connections. So having experienced Minnesota-based clinicians and a partner rooted in the community means employees and their families have access to support that. Understand the environment in which we work and live. And a new manager, new vantage provide support for the whole person from behavioral health and workplace concerns to parenting caregiving legal and financial needs. It is a free service to use. It is a division of Lutheran social services of Minnesota and it brings over 40 years of experience to our community. So tere's going to some information on Ramsey on our Internet about that today. So I encourage employees to check out the new eap that we partner that we have. In addition, I just wanted call out that earlier this month.

Wat does democracy need from us? And every generation must decide whether it will expand or contract freedom. And these are some of the bed rocks of how we how we interact with that. And because we are leaders who are directly involved with the administration of election. It's it's it's above and beyond. Following the rules and making sure that we to complete everything accurately.

Their vote counts and then we'll find a way for them to safely exercise that right. I also just wanted to say I sit on the elections canvassing board and were able to certify the primary vote.

I have just a couple of things that I want to highlight. Last Thursday, I had a chance to meet CEO of the Minnesota State Fair along with a number of electives, including representative think he paid cow's milk Coleman and milky as well as Ramsey County's government affairs team and the city of Saint Paul's government affairs team to discuss a few of the the concerns that residents who live around the state fair have over the last few years. Some regards to noise and pollution and parking him. All the things that we know that involves the Minnesota State Fair. And so it was great to so we will to connect with of which remain the team at the state fair to have them. Listen directly to what we've been hearing from constituents and start discussing solutions so that we I have a state fair that sucessful to everyone and also it's not fully interrupting the lives of the people who live around the state.

Fair since it in the neighborhood. The other event I want to highlight as commissioner acquire mention our rights law Alliance had their summer block party this weekend. I had a chance to attend that. you know that the work that they do it right. Partner Alliance is amazing of the knowledge speaks to how they're providing resources and different services. So businesses along the corridor, but it speaks to a larger. Renaissance. And I think that we are seeing right street coupled with the work that I know that we are doing as a county to completely reconstruct of the road, but also looking at how we can build a community that's further connected and and resilient heading into the future. And so just great. Houston, the kudos to to O'Brien and the team went Bryce Harper Alliance. And then the last thing that I will highlight is coming up this Sunday. It's the 11th annual Central Honors Philando center on land. course, the life of Philando Castille and raises money for Philando Castile scholarship and brings the community together to come back to collaborate and to still feel after 10 years, it's been 10 years since Philando was was killed.

All right. Last week I attended the Minnesota Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts Area for Budget Committee board meeting that I'm So we are approved the 20's. The preliminary 2027 budget that proposed budget includes an annual membership dues of $500, which is a $50 increase from the current 450. The preliminary budget will now go on to the full area for membership for its approval and added September 22nd meeting. On Thursday, I had the honor of welcoming community members, staff and partners to the grand reopening of the Ramsey County Public Health Center at its new location in Maple. It. So this new location is really it's really neat. It's big. It's beautiful. It's it's easier for residents to connect with important services they need.

It's across the street from a transit center Maplewood a farm, a bullet service center a public library. So I'm pretty excited about that. Commissioner Jeff singer, any mention mentioned the Kevin Seymour. But I will mention the funding we got to do yesterday, Commissioner Devin Singh and I we had the great morning touring the international Union of Operating Engineers, local 49 training center and Hinckley. So the site is nearly 400 acres provides hands-on training for apprentices and per and operating engineers and trains. More than 5,000 local 49 ER members each year for its careers that helped build and maintain our roads. Bridges, utilities, clean energy pojects, housing and other critical infrastructures. So we've learned about apprentice and training models toured the facility, the grounds. And then we got t operate some heavy equipment. was the funnest part. I got to bring lmt wet. And it was my son's 9th birthday. So he was able to operate some big machinery and his birthday. learned very quickly that it's a good thing.

I'm not a heavy app. Machine operator. Okay. But it was really a fun experience. But it also gave us a whole new appreciation for the precision, the coordination, the patients and also the attention to detail that and safety and to operate these massive pieces of equipment.

So that was pretty neat and really appreciate that quickly upcoming. I have my in district hours this week, I will be at Maplewood Library tomorrow from 10, 30 to 12:00PM. And then Thursday, White Bear Lake from 12, 30 to 2 and PA from 3 to 4.30. So with that, I will be Thank Mister I'm gonna. some time with just my subjects. And I've just spinning the whole week and will continue to meet with people around homelessness. I just want to speak to that because we have been dress kind of like in emergency or D C at the closure of encampment without really few spoke us on. That piece of the whole continuum in the continuing Stephanie bigger in.

Individuals who our snow with your party encampment and to focus a little on. Also family homelessness. Well, we have families who are homeless, who have been homeless, who are on a waiting list. And when emergencies like this happen, all the focus revert from. The waiting list of people I have been to respond to urge see at the moment, which is not always the best way to function as a government entity. But in general, it's not always the best way focusing. I just want to share some so Ramsey County, like have liver some executive summaries of today's that we are doing here and to county. In just a state that Ramsey County has long recognized that homelessness is one of the most complex public policy challenges facing our community. It affects individuals and families experiencing housing instability. We're also influencing public health behavior, health public safety, economic vitality into the man placed on many public funding system.

So recently open the season around closing the encampment he's created and need Operational challenges for service providers and public agencies across ramp to counties as individuals and families. In bizarre displays. There has been understandable pressure to expand emergency responses in to Rick and redirect resources address to urge needs. But I want to state that Ramsey County will continue working loans. I CDs, nonprofit organization, health care providers in community Community partners to respond compassionately in responsibility to those immediate challenges. But at the same time, we must recognize an important reality. financial operational human resources are not finite. We don't have just money that can go everywhere in everywhere, continuously. They are not finding it. I'm not every investment represent a choice. And I long-term success depend on issue. And that urgent operational demands do not come at the expense of the longtime strategies that reduce homelessness over time. This is the leadership challenge that is before us before Ramsey County.

We must respond to today's news. We're continuing to Beal tomorrow system. Ad so I believe in Israeli that went county that hitting home Ramsey strategic plan provides framework for achieving that Downey's its visions that homelessness should be rare, brief and nonrecurring requires more. Dan Emergency response us. It requires a coin need a continuum of care that prevents home is whenever possible respond effectively went home. This a curve and create lsting pathway to stable housing. And so as we go into heading into a school year, what we have to endure, I'm going speak for babies for our children. going into a school year. Where Not been stable. Many families are

These account topping living vehicles. If they have a vehicle but also often find. So compromising. The conditions those families. And so as we continue this conversation around encampment, that is not the only issue that is before us and we have to support it wasn't we have to support our families. We have to look to the whole continuum of care, invest wisely in do that in partnership with other ways because we cannot do this work along and it's a call for all to come together collectively. Whether you are with the business the philanthropic sector to continue relationship. We have well all community-based organizations, the city of Saint Paul to working with close to make sure that we using our dollars wisely. We are getting infected in what we do and how we the work that we do. And We know that this is much bigger than in the county. And is impacting. And a bunch of people in so many different ways.

And he's so the work of the county and then with partners to really be strategic in the work that we do and how we do it. And you will most likely hear me talk a lot about this. Because we have to move away from these the sense of or is he sees in focusing in one direction where they s this that that the work in the speed that he and that goes really along continuum care that we are doing. In the work through hitting home. Ramsey County. And so I just wanted to bring us back to this subject area because this is heavy work to so many people who's been doing this for years. All right. And so we got to be smart trauma, informed practices. All right. We have to look at best practices. We have to maybe to these and other states and entities doing this work in doing this In a way that is getting the results that we believe that we need and that is to stabilize Stephen Ice.

To house people for long term and not just for. for that. You didn't need to 4 4 needed result rights to discuss some time. This where it it doesn't always get best results. When we responded, we respond that way. So I look forward talking more with with my. Members here on on board talking more with you, county manager, staff, those who've been in the trenches, those who have been impacted every single day about the system. And, you know, this look at tree numbers like 120 days that a family can be. How city support it. victory number. That we have put in place for very long time. Is it working? So what does the data tell us what effects tennis? let's be very strategic around. How we can can? Do I best work to a very strategic plan along without that's it for me, Mr. Chair, thank Thank you, Mr. Want to respond. One thing, commissioner and we are scheduled to have a board workshop on heading home.

Ramsey. To go over their strategic plan on September 22nd. So that's just right around the corner. In addition, I know you and I had a conversation yesterday. We're going to be preparing some additional information for the board around fmily family, homelessness as well. So be working with Director Wilkins on that right now. So commissioner and ask some really good questions. And I think we need to just put all the information in the work we have to date on where we are seeing gaps in one place. know there is a family shelter, working group them will align with them as well. appreciate you calling that out. And all things that I'm tracking as well. Thank you, Commissioner Rent. Thank you. I want and call your comments commission and I That we need to keep eyes and to continue Because it's it's it's not just homeless camps, but it is. Families. It's the young folk. Yes, we have a lot of young people that homeless. mean, there's 16 17 years old.

We need to address the entire continuum. partners should be. The table is heading home. Ramsey. And that's well, all a pardon is including the city should be putting the energies and resources to deal with the continuum. It We need to be disciplined even if others in that the county needs to lead and be disciplined. Following this meeting we hd a regional rail, witty. Then we have a housing development that that would be meeting with Commissioner John. Then in the morning. So we have a board workshop preparation for elections in 2020 saves marked tree.
