Universal Citation: MN Rules 9535.1725

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 13, September 23, 2024

At or before the beginning of the grant period, the commissioner shall use the formulas in items A to F to distribute grants under parts 9535.1700 to 9535.1760 to county boards whose grant applications meet the requirements in parts 9535.1700 to 9535.1760.

A. Within the limits of appropriations, the commissioner shall allocate to each county board whose grant application is approved under part 9535.1720, the greater of the following:

(1) an annual allocation equal to the county's allocation for the preceding year, excluding any supplemental funds reallocated from other counties, plus a cost of living increase based on the legislative appropriation for that purpose;

(2) at least $22,000 annually for children with severe emotional disturbance, or at least $41,000 annually for adults with serious and persistent mental illness; or

(3) $2.25 per capita for children with severe emotional disturbance, or $2.10 per capita for adults with serious and persistent mental illness. Per capita must be based on the respective county adult or child population as determined by the most recent data of the state demographer.

B. The amount under item A, subitem (1), does not include special project funds under part 9535.1730 unless the commissioner determines a special project is more appropriately funded as part of the ongoing allocation under this part.

C. The commissioner shall increase the amounts in item A, subitems (2) and (3), to the extent funds are available, to enable more services to be provided as required by Minnesota Statutes, sections 245.461 to 245.4887.

D. If the appropriations under this part are decreased from the appropriations for the preceding year, then the per-county allocations in item A must be decreased in the same proportion as the decrease in the appropriation and must not be adjusted to reflect new data of the state demographer.

E. If the appropriations under this part remain the same as the appropriations in the preceding year, the per-county allocations in item A must be the same as those in the preceding year and must not be adjusted to reflect new data of the state demographer.

F. Two or more county boards that apply jointly for a grant shall receive a multicounty grant equal to the sum of the individual county board allocations in items A to E. Actual utilization of grants by each participating county board may be different from the individual county board allocation in items A to E if the county boards demonstrate to the commissioner that the differences are based on differing service needs of each county.
