August 18, 2026 County Board of Commissioners Meeting

The Olmsted County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on August 18, 2026, primarily addressing a text amendment to the county's flood plain and shoreland ordinance. The amendment, required by FEMA, involved deleting and adding specific ordinance sections to maintain compliance with federal floodplain management standards and avoid suspension from the National Flood Insurance Program. The board held a public hearing and unanimously approved the amendment. Additionally, the board approved the consent agenda, which included vendor taxation dates for the 2027 budget, though no specific contract awards or procurement decisions were detailed. The meeting also featured an informational presentation on the Transforming Trash Artist in Residence program, highlighting community art initiatives using recycled materials, but this did not involve procurement actions.
