[807 11th Street North, Moorhead, Minnesota 56560] Clay County Board of Commissioners meeting on June 16, 2026. Agenda items include approval of gambling applications, hiring of juvenile detention worker, contract renewals, grant applications, position refills, software purchases, and trail designations. Public comment was not stated. The meeting included approval of bills and vouchers totaling $9,229,346. Approval to hire an open Overnight Juvenile Detention Worker position in the Secure Unit. The position is necessary for safety and security. Implementation timeline is July 2026. Cost impact is a savings of approximately $3,277. Request approval of step placement for a Healthcare Unit Eligibility Worker. An internal candidate is being appointed to the Eligibility Worker position at Grade 14, Step 9. This transition is expected to result in a net savings of $6,234. The implementation timeline involves finalizing staffing transitions. Request approval to apply for the Crisis Intervention & Behavioral Health Grant for the West Central Regional Juvenile Center. The grant, from federal funding overseen by MN DPS, would support stabilization in the non-secure unit by paying for staff salaries for variable hour staff up to $250,000 for two years. No additional staff will be hired. The application due date is July 13, 2026. There is no cost impact. Request approval to refill a vacated Care Coordinator Position in the Adult Health Unit and restore it from 0.8 FTE to 1.0 FTE. The position became vacant on June 9, 2026. The unit has experienced sustained growth in caseload volume and service complexity. The anticipated hiring date is August 1, 2026. The estimated additional budget impact for 2026 is $323 if filled at Grade 18 or $1,958 if filled at Grade 19. Annual revenue potential from restoring the position is estimated at $26,500–$31,800. [Clay County Correctional Facility] Request approval of the Advanced Correctional Healthcare Contract Renewal for inmate medical services at the Clay County Correctional Facility, effective July 1, 2026. ACH is requesting a 5.66% increase, bringing the annual contract amount to $841,152.91. The proposed renewal includes a per diem rate of $0.71 and a medical claims repricing fee of $17.00 per claim. Future budget planning should account for a projected increase of approximately 7% for the subsequent contract year.
