The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors meeting on October 6, 2026, included several health-benefit vendor and financing matters. The board received an update on the pharmacy benefit manager RFP: EmpiRx Health was presented as an option with projected savings of $769,000 over three years, while potentially changing costs for 13 prescriptions. The vendor said a contract would need to be signed the following week for a January 1 start, but the item was informational and the board took no vote. Proposals for HSA Bank administration and a dependent eligibility audit were also informational; the audit was estimated to cost $10,000–$15,000, with possible savings discussed, and no approval was taken. The public health department also updated the board on an application to serve as a regional lead entity, which would include adding a 1.0 FTE, with an award decision expected in December.

The board approved resolutions for $4,555,000 in 2026 general obligation capital loan notes, including appointing UMB Bank as paying agent, note registrar, and transfer agent. The notes are to be repaid through tax-increment financing rather than a new property-tax levy. Other approved actions included revising fixed-asset recording thresholds to $10,000 for machinery and equipment and $25,000 for buildings, effective July 1, 2026, and routine consent-agenda items. No other contract award or purchasing approval was identified.
