Anoka County commissioners approved three formal actions during the organizational meeting: acceptance of certain claims and purchase‑card payments, an appointment to the county canvassing board, and the award of a multi‑million dollar road contract.

Claims and minutes: The board voted to accept regular claims paid over $500 and purchase‑card claims for the period ending Dec. 12, 2025. The motion was made from the floor, seconded, and passed by roll‑call with all present commissioners recorded as voting aye. The board also approved the minutes from the Dec. 16, 2025 meeting by voice vote with no corrections.

Canvassing board appointment: The chair explained Commissioner Reiner had been listed on the canvassing board in error; because Reiner is on the ballot this year he cannot serve on the canvassing board. Commissioner Gamache moved to appoint Commissioner Meisner to the canvassing board to replace Commissioner Reiner; Commissioner Heinrich seconded. The board approved the appointment unanimously.

Bow Street contract: The Transportation Committee recommended awarding contract C0012042 to North Pine Aggregate for $4,556,829.20 to reconstruct Bow Street. The committee report noted North Pine was the lowest responsible bidder, submitting a bid more than $2,000,000 below the engineer's estimate. The scope described in the committee report included removing poor soils, widening the roadway core, adding bituminous through lanes and shoulders, and constructing right‑ and left‑turn lanes at several intersections (187th Lane, 190th Avenue and 194th Avenue). Commissioner Judson moved to approve the contract; Commissioner Heinrich seconded. The board approved the contract by roll‑call (all ayes).
