Votes at a glance: Steele County commissioners approve portfolio changes, property deeds, precincts and grant covenant
Summary
The Steele County Board of Commissioners approved several routine motions by voice vote, including portfolio adjustments, deed transfers for two tax-sale lots, precinct/polling locations for 2026, and a covenant to complete a State Historical Society grant reimbursement.
Steele County commissioners used voice votes to approve a bundle of routine actions on December 2, including portfolio assignments, the deeding of two tax-sale lots back to neighboring cities, precinct and polling-location designations for 2026, and a grant covenant needed to finish a State Historical Society reimbursement.
Portfolio and appointments: Commissioners discussed and approved reassignments to boards and portfolios (personnel, park board, JDA, water resource district and others). Speaker 3 made a motion to appoint Perry to the Agassiz/Hagerty Valley role which was seconded and approved by voice vote. A broader motion accepting the other portfolio changes also passed.
Property and elections: The board approved the sale-related paperwork and moved to deed two properties—one in Sharon and one in La Verne—back to the respective cities because they lie within city limits. Commissioners also voted to set precinct and polling locations for June and November 2026; the county's single polling location will be in the courthouse courtroom on the third floor.
Grant covenant and other formal actions: Staff said a State Historical Society grant funded recent lighting work; the board approved a covenant affirming the site will be maintained according to historic standards so the county can complete the reimbursement request.
Adjournment: After completing consent and business items, commissioners adjourned the meeting by voice vote.
