The 30-second brief
255 pre-RFPs (projects, hiring and grants) found in Anoka County's meetings, most in transportation and information technology. The latest, from Oct 27: The Sheriff's Office said Earned Sick and Safe Time (ESST) rules are contributing to short-notice absences, overtime, and staffing shortages in patrol and jail operations. The report links the issue to hundreds of thousands of dollars in overtime and more than 9,000 ESST hours in 2025. This is a policy-and-budget signal, not a procurement, but it points to ongoing workforce management and scheduling needs if the statute changes or if the county pursues mitigation.
Capital Projects leads its tracked contracts and projects, followed by Grants and Transportation.
