# October 6, 2026 Olmsted County Board of Commissioners Meeting

At the October 6, 2026 Olmsted County Board of Commissioners meeting, the board approved a zone change for Millstone Materials’ proposed 6.8-acre Yoda quarry expansion. The applicant said the expansion would provide an estimated six to eight years of aggregate and support ongoing reclamation, without increasing truck traffic or production. The board also approved the consent agenda in a block, including funding for a material recovery facility, a Medica Innovation-funded client advisory council, and an award for a programmable logic controller upgrade to adult detention center door locks; the transcript provides no amounts or selected vendor for those items.

The board approved issuance and sale of $28.5 million in General Obligation Bonds, Series 2026A, principally for solid-waste improvements, with a smaller share for capital-improvement projects and equipment. The sale drew 15 bids; Morgan Stanley was the low bidder at a reported true interest cost of 4.628%. Following a closed session, the board also approved selling county-owned property to Rochester Painting for $66,000. Commissioners discussed data-center development and farmland, but took no related procurement or policy action.
