2020 Levy Pared Down from Preliminary Amount

One of the main budget items in public safety was hiring more 911 operators.  This action was in response to the volume of calls that come into Anoka County Central Communications.  Anoka County’s dispatchers field more than 300,000 calls per year.  Having an adequately staffed Central Communications center is important to ensure calls are answered in a prompt fashion and emergency services are rapidly dispatched, when they are needed.
            Cyber security is of vital importance for every household and business, and Anoka County is no different.  Protecting sensitive county data is vital, especially given the amount of intrusions, ransomware and other threats Anoka County faces daily.  Every day, the county’s firewall blocks an average of 3.68 million access attempts from “untrusted” sources outside of the U.S. and Canada.  Keeping up to date with the most recent security software and employing staff who can recognize and eliminate security issues is essential.

            Note: Anoka County only has authority over the county portion of the property tax bill; cities and school districts have their own taxing authority.
