Top issues during term (20)(Public Safety)
Winter warming spaces and homelessness response
Already-funded county operations; no new appropriation tied to this update.
Effective end of veteran homelessness
No direct fiscal impact; reflects outcomes of prior coordinated investments.
Youth Justice Transformation
Implementation costs for county systems and placements are not yet quantified.
Adult Detention Center staffing costs
Jail staffing is one of the county's largest budget drivers and a key reason behind the levy increase.
Flock camera debate and due diligence
Pig's Eye Park encampment closure and emergency shelter response
$1.08 million from St. Paul plus county funds — nearly $2 million combined for shelter beds.
Election security and misinformation response
911 Joint Powers Agreement modernization
The 60% county levy / 40% city cost split based on call volume is not changing; radio console upgrades could cost up to $13.1 million depending on a state ARMER work group.
ARMER emergency radio funding
Ramsey County's share would exceed $13 million without a statewide solution.
Operation Metro Surge public safety costs
$379,800 drawn from the county's General Contingency Account.
Homelessness response and the Heading Home Ramsey continuum
Nearly $800,000 in new state money, including $316,000 in direct assistance, usable through June 2028.
Aging and disability assessment waitlists
The 80 positions were already budgeted; the staffing push ended overtime use and is expected to reduce county cost share for state facility stays.
Crisis response services grant
No local cost — fully grant-funded at $300,000.
Homelessness response coordination
WIC participation and family home visiting
Federal WIC funds flow through MDH per participant but don't cover full program costs; family home visiting is largely grant-funded with stagnant rates.
Public health clinics and TB incidence
TB care for uninsured patients is a county cost; the federal Title X grant does not fully cover clinic costs; state-operated services and stagnant grants strain the budget.
Project Bridge pre-sentenced programming
$2 million per year in ongoing base funding from the levy increase approved with the biennial budget; community corrections absorbed the cost in 2025.
County communications reach and Gen Z podcast
Bringing media training in-house saved about $15,000; the interpreting app saves roughly $96,000 a year.
Language access and translation services
Transition to county medical examiner model
The change will show up in a future budget cycle as the county takes on staffing the office directly.
