The Scott County Board of Commissioners meeting convened October 6, 2026. On the consent agenda, the board approved a resolution authorizing an agreement with WSB & Associates, Inc. for the County Highway 8/County Road 23 roundabout project, along with other transportation and property matters. After public comments opposing a proposed frontage road and raising concerns about property takings, neighborhood safety, and costs, the board amended Resolution 2026-225 to exclude properties associated with the frontage road, then approved the resolution for the remaining acquisitions by eminent domain for the County Highway 17 reconstruction and County Highway 12/Highway 17 roundabout projects. Commissioners said the excluded frontage-road parcels should receive further discussion, potentially at a workshop.

In a commissioner’s report, the board heard that the Minnesota Valley Transit Authority had approved a five-year, $33 million operations and maintenance contract with Keolis following an RFP process; Schmitty’s was the previous provider. No vote on that contract occurred at this Scott County meeting. The board also approved prior meeting minutes and recognized new county employees; no additional procurement actions were identified.
