An $858 million trust will discuss its audit behind closed doors

The board that manages $858 million and roughly a million acres of state land for Alaskans living with mental illness, developmental disabilities, dementia and traumatic brain injury will take up a legislative audit next week, and may do it in executive session.

The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority's Audit and Risk Committee meets Wednesday, July 29, in Anchorage. Its notice does not say what the audit covers or when the findings will be public. Both that discussion and a staffing matter can lawfully be closed under the state's open meetings act.

The last legislative audit of the Trust, finalized in 2018, confirmed investment and governance concerns and prompted significant changes.

The public portion of the meeting remains open.
