Minnehaha County Commission Meeting - November 10th, 2026

The Minnehaha County Commission’s November 10, 2026 meeting included several procurement-related actions. Commissioners approved declaring Highway Department equipment surplus for auction; whether auction proceeds should return to the Highway and Bridge Fund was left for separate discussion. They approved a letter of engagement with Croll for Filevine project management, implementation, data migration, and training; the implementation cost was described as anticipated in the Filevine contract. The commission also approved an amendment to the county’s Dakota Embalming and Transport Services agreement to continue automatic one-year renewals, with other terms unchanged; officials estimated the prior-year cost at about $200,000. Commissioners authorized a letter supporting Sioux Falls’ bid to host the 114th Fighter Wing’s future F-35 aircraft. Separately, a commissioner reported that the conservation district was seeking bids and evaluating locations for a possible new building, but no county action was taken on that effort.

The commission authorized public-hearing notices for zoning amendments and a rezoning, and approved 2027 liquor-license renewals. In an annual elected-official compensation discussion, commissioners supported a 3% adjustment to salary ranges, while asking staff to return with 3% and 5% pay scenarios for certain incumbent officials; no final salary resolution was adopted. The transcript identifies no other contract award or purchasing decision.
