County extends contract deadline for 10‑year solid waste management plan pending state acceptance

County staff requested and the board approved an amendment to the professional service contract with the Upper Minnesota Valley Regional Development Commission (UMVRDC) to extend the deadline for the county’s 10‑year solid waste management plan. Staff said the final draft has been submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) for approval but the contractor exceeded the original contract deadline of June 30; the amendment extends the deadline through the remainder of 2025 to accommodate MPCA review.
