County board elects new chair and vice chair, adopts meeting schedule and routine resolutions
Summary
During its Jan. 6 meeting the Clay County Board elected Commissioner Jenny Mogel as chair and Commissioner Kravanoff as vice chair for 2026, approved the 2026 meeting schedule and adopted routine newspaper-designation resolutions and MOUs.
The Clay County Board of Commissioners used its organizational session on Jan. 6 to elect leadership for 2026 and take routine business actions.
Commissioner Jenny Mogel was nominated and elected board chair after a motion and second; commissioners then elected Commissioner Kravanoff as vice chair following a separate motion and voice vote. The board approved its 2026 meeting schedule (first four Tuesdays at 8:30 a.m. with specified exceptions) and adopted resolutions designating official newspapers for legal notices along with corresponding memoranda of understanding. The board also approved committee assignments as amended.
A motion was made, seconded and carried to enter a closed session under Minnesota Statute 13D.03 to discuss labor negotiations; the board entered closed session and later returned to adjourn. The actions recorded in the transcript were carried by voice votes; the transcript records 'aye' responses but does not list an itemized roll-call vote.
Next steps: the board will receive follow-up reports and recommendations on items such as the food services procurement at a future meeting and proceed with committee work through 2026.
