Commissioners approve FY2027 CDDO agreement; county to receive roughly $326,018

The Board approved the FY2027 Community Development Disability Organization (CDDO) agreement, which county staff said will bring approximately $326,018 in state aid and administrative dollars to support local services. A speaker (speaker 3) briefed commissioners on the arrangement and noted that in addition to the CDDO funds, the county provides roughly $120,000 in discretionary funds to local service providers; those funds currently go to MCDS and Disability Supports at Great Plains.

The speaker summarized funds flow and evaluation-related payments that pass through the CDDO to service providers and said requests for allocations are based on client counts. Commissioner (speaker 6) moved to approve the CDDO agreement for fiscal year 2027; the motion was seconded and carried.

Why it matters: The CDDO agreement defines how state-administered funds and county discretionary money flow to local disability service providers and affects provider budgets and client services for the coming year.
