Scott County commissioners approve consent agenda covering 10 items including rezoning, grants and camera purchase

The Scott County Board of Commissioners voted to approve the meeting’s consent agenda at its April 1, 2025 session, adopting ten items that the board listed under Agenda Item 6. The consent motion carried by voice vote after a motion to approve and a second; no roll-call tally was recorded in the public transcript.

The consent agenda included the following items as read into the record by staff: resolution no. 2025-44 authorizing single‑day cleanup agreements with the cities of New Prague, Shakopee, Jordan, Savage, Belle Plain, Bridal Lake and Elpenew Market and the townships of Helena, Cedar Lake and Spring Lake; resolution no. 2025-72 to apply for an Emergency Services Program grant and, if awarded, accept the grant and amend the county budget and enter an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Human Services; resolution no. 2025-82 approving a rezone of 129.28 acres from A‑1 Agriculture Preservation to A‑3 Agricultural Preservation Density (applicant: Westrom Living Trust); resolution no. 2025-83 amending Scott County zoning ordinance chapter 4 for Minnesota Pollution Control Agency MS4 permit requirements and chapter 6 to add an investigation fee for non‑permitted grading activities; resolution no. 2025-87 authorizing acquisition of tax‑forfeited lands to Spring Lake Township for specified public use; resolution no. 2025-97 authorizing an agreement with Lifestyle Medicine LLC for psychiatric consultation; resolution no. 2025-100 authorizing application for a Ground Water Protection Initiative accelerated implementation grant and, if awarded, accepting the grant and entering an agreement with the Minnesota Department of Health; a budget amendment and purchase of cameras (listed as 2025-115 in the meeting packet); approval of the 2025 renewal application for a precious metal dealer license for J & T Turek Enterprises d/b/a Markquart Jewelers; and approval of payroll processing of personnel actions.

Board discussion on the consent items was limited to a brief comment clarifying details about local cleanup-day logistics and a recognition that the items were grouped for a single voice vote. The board moved, seconded and approved the consent agenda; the public transcript records only voice votes (“Aye”) rather than a roll-call record.

Votes at a glance (consent agenda): - Consent motion (items 6.1–6.10): Motion to approve made and seconded; outcome: approved by voice vote. No roll-call breakdown recorded in the transcript.

Notes and missing details: several items on the consent agenda were read only by title in the meeting and the packet; the transcript does not include the full text of individual agreements, the dollar amounts for the grants or contract values for vendor agreements, nor a roll‑call vote. Where the meeting packet or the transcript did not provide details (for example, specific award amounts or contract expiration dates), those particulars are not stated here.

The board proceeded to other business after the consent vote, including a separate resolution proclamation recognizing Volunteer Recognition Week.
