Carver County Board of Commissioners -- Board Meeting - April 7, 2026

The Carver County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on April 7, 2026, which included several proclamations recognizing National Public Safety Telecommunications Week, National Nurses Day, National Peace Officers Week, Sexual Assault Awareness Month, and National Public Health Week. A significant portion of the meeting focused on public health updates, including community health assessments, vaccination programs, and opioid settlement funds. The board also discussed infrastructure projects, notably a memorandum of understanding with the City of Carver for a levy project impacting the Minnesota River Bluffs Regional Trail, which was approved. Additionally, the board reviewed and discussed an update to the county's rumble strip policy to incorporate newer, less intrusive "mumble strips" designed to improve road safety while reducing noise complaints. The policy update aims to be consistent with current safety research and is planned for formal adoption in August after further community and township engagement. No specific contract awards or procurement actions were detailed, but the discussions on infrastructure and safety improvements indicate ongoing capital project planning and policy development.
