County Board Workshop June 16, 2026

The Scott County Board Workshop held on June 16, 2026, primarily focused on discussions around employee health benefits, specifically the introduction and structuring of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) paired with high deductible health plans. The board reviewed various plan options, contribution limits, and potential savings for both the county and employees, with an emphasis on balancing incentives to encourage participation without overly pushing employees toward HSAs. The workshop also covered the county's transition to a calendar year plan for benefits administration and the implications for flexible spending accounts (FSAs). Additionally, the meeting included an update on the Scott Watershed Management Organization's 10-year water resource plan, highlighting priorities such as groundwater quantity and quality, sediment reduction, and capital improvement projects (CIPs) aimed at flood protection and water quality improvements. The watershed plan discussed funding strategies, project prioritization criteria, and collaboration with local entities, with plans to present a draft for public review in August 2026. No specific contract awards or procurement decisions were made during this meeting, but the discussions on benefit plan administration and watershed projects may influence future procurement activities.
