end
PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Ratify the grant application to the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC) for Intensive Supervised Release (ISR) and authorize acceptance of grant funds and execution of the grant agreement for a modified 6-month period ending December 31, 2025, from the standard 2-year agreement.
SUMMARY
In 1990, the Minnesota Legislature established the ISR. ISR provides intensive supervision and surveillance for clients in the community who have been determined to be high-risk clients by the DOC's Hearing and Release Office. Program components include house arrest, random drug tests, and frequent face-to-face contacts with specially trained agents, mandatory work requirements, and curfews. Supervision is provided randomly throughout the week including evenings, nights, weekends, and holidays. Client interactions occur in the client's residence, place of employment, or treatment programs.
Community Corrections has applied for and received grant funding to provide ISR services in Dakota County since 1995. Community Corrections currently has three full-time ISR Officers who work with clients identified as very high-risk.
In April 2025, Community Corrections applied for grant dollars in an amount not to exceed $74,850 for the grant period of July 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025. Staff recommends a modified grant agreement accepting funds of $74,850 for 6 months ending December 31, 2025.
On January 1, 2026, ISR clients living in Dakota County will be supervised by the DOC, and no longer under supervision by Dakota County. When ISR is returned to the DOC, they will provide all services required by state statute that are currently provided by Dakota County.
