Woodbury County Board of Supervisors - August 4, 2026

The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors held a meeting on August 4, 2026, which included several procurement and policy discussions. Key procurement-related actions included approval of revised policies for secondary roads signage and driveway sight distance to accommodate new 60 mph speed limits, with a policy change requiring requesters to pay for supplemental signs. The board also considered a request for county payment of dust control on a specific road segment with a unique surface product; the motion to make an exception to the existing dust control policy failed 2-3. A significant agenda item was the joint meeting with the Woodbury County Law Enforcement Center (LEC) Authority to approve a settlement agreement resolving ongoing litigation related to the LEC construction project. The settlement involves a net payment of approximately $3 million to the county and authority, release of retainage funds to the general contractor, and dismissal of all claims, thereby concluding years of costly litigation. The board also approved minor subdivision plats and discussed ongoing legislative matters affecting tax increment financing (TIF) abatements. The meeting concluded with reports on committee meetings and citizen concerns, with no additional procurement actions noted.
