# Clay County MN Board of Commissioners 10/20/26

Clay County Board of Commissioners meeting, October 20, 2026. The board approved a bridge construction award to Redstone Construction LLC for $2,228,337.50, the lowest of five bids, for a project estimated at $2,100,992.50. The project will be paid from the town bridge fund. The board also approved moving the county’s 2027–2028 employee dental plan from United Healthcare to Delta Dental following an RFP and review of 10 plan options; United Healthcare’s renewal premium increase was 95%, and the selected plan offers more in-network providers.

The board approved increasing child care health consultation fees from $45 to $50 per hour effective January 1, 2027, and increased the substance use disorder comprehensive assessment fee from $125 to $162.24 effective the same date; staff were asked to provide updated revenue estimates. The board also approved a county notary policy. In committee reports, commissioners discussed developing RFP parameters for more than $150,000 in opioid settlement funding, with a future award expected to return to the board for approval. No award was made at this meeting for that funding.
