Board of Douglas County Commissioners - November 10, 2026, Business Meeting

The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners’ business meeting on November 10, 2026, approved by unanimous vote the conveyance of a 27-acre school tract in Canyons South Filing 4 to Renaissance Secondary School for a public charter elementary school. The conveyance includes deed restrictions requiring construction to begin within five years and continued public-school use, with reversion provisions if those conditions are not met. Commissioners cited the school’s projected capacity of 450 students and the site’s existing dedication for school purposes; the decision followed disagreement between the petitioner and Douglas County School District over the county’s authority to convey the land directly to a charter school.

The board also unanimously approved a public contract with Timberline Building Systems for construction of Mecantha Regional Park, not to exceed $5,950,000. The contractor’s amount was $5,545,954.85, with the balance retained for contingency and county purchases. Funding includes $4.5 million from the open-space operations and maintenance portion of the parks sales and use tax, $450,000 in developer contributions, and $1 million from the Conservation Trust Fund. Planned work includes trails, a trailhead and parking, challenge stairs, a playground, shelters, restrooms, and a bridge. The consent agenda, items A–S, was also approved without discussion.
