Summary
At its March 3 meeting the Wabasha County Board of Commissioners accepted a $2,000 donation for veterans transportation, authorized a $5,412.19 purchase for a sheriff’s in‑car video system from the Squad Replacement Fund, and approved a conditional use permit allowing Martin Moe to transfer one dwelling density subject to an 80‑acre deed restriction.
Wabasha County commissioners convened in regular session on March 3, 2026, in Wabasha and approved a set of consent items before taking three recorded actions: accepting a donation for veterans transportation, authorizing a sheriff’s office equipment purchase, and approving a conditional use permit transfer.
The board accepted Resolution No. 2026‑059, recording a $2,000 donation from the Millville Sportsman Club designated for Veterans Transportation. The resolution lists the donor as Millville Sportsman Club, PO Box 64, Millville, MN 55957, and the amount as $2,000. The donation was accepted as presented by the board.
The board next approved Resolution No. 2026‑060 on a unanimous vote to authorize payment of Guardian Fleet Safety invoice #304262 in the amount of $5,412.19 for one Getac in‑car video system, to be paid from the Squad Replacement Fund. The resolution states the purchase includes the video system, accessories, and software update and maintenance.
During the meeting the Minnesota Department of Agriculture delivered a presentation; the minutes identify John Larsen as the presenter but the recorded segments do not include substantive detail of the presentation’s content.
The board then adopted Resolution No. 2026‑062, approving a conditional use permit requested by Martin Moe to transfer one dwelling unit density from Wabasha County parcel R12.00133.00 to parcel R12.00143.00 in Oakwood Township. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on Feb. 23, 2026, recommended approval by a 5‑0 vote, and the county’s approval was issued with two conditions: authorization of the one‑unit density transfer and recording an eighty‑acre deed restriction on parcel R12.00133.00 that prohibits construction of any dwelling on that parcel.
Commissioners reported on meetings they attended and raised board concerns later in the agenda. The meeting adjourned by unanimous motion.
