Government Grants For The Disabled

Shutdown: County sees minimal impact

WORTHINGTON — In their second full day of work since the state government shutdown, Nobles County department heads updated commissioners Tuesday on the impact the shutdown has on their departments.

Perhaps most affected thus far is Nobles County Family Services, which receives payment reimbursement from the state to provide care to seven consumers with developmental disabilities, and to provide relative custody assistance for two individuals.

Nicole Names, Family Services Director, said both programs were not included in the state’s list of “essential services” to fund during the shutdown.

“All the (Medical Assistance) programs will be funded,” Names said. State funds will also continue to filter in for critical programs like vulnerable adult and child protection services, foster care and sex offender treatment. “We do have a number of programs that are grant-funded between the state and county, and a number of those are now not funded.”

Family Services receives an average of $148,000 per month from the state, with July being the month for the greatest state revenue reimbursement.

“That will cut us back right off the bat,” Names said.

Commissioners approved funding both the developmental disabilities and relative custody assistance programs for up to 30 days.

The state’s developmental disabilities reimbursement to the county is approximately $5,500 per month, while reimbursement for the relative custody assistance program is nearly $7,200 per month.

As for other departments, Public Works Director Stephen Schnieder said the county cannot award contracts for bridge replacements until the state is “back up and running.” Schnieder included provisions into the bid specifications to open the bids late — and allow for the work to be completed later in the construction season — in the event of a government shutdown.

Most notable among transportation projects is the halt of the Minnesota 60 expansion.

“If the Minnesota 60 project does not get going soon, that project may not be done on time,” Schnieder said. “The worst case scenario is (the state) will need to maintain the detour route through the winter.”

Auditor-Treasurer Sharon Balster said the county won’t receive its levy limits because the state’s Department of Revenue is minimally staffed. Also, she said while the license center is open, the Department of Natural Resources has shut down its licensing operations.
