Scott County commissioners reviewed the AMC solid‑waste working group, recommended pausing regular meetings now that a statewide MPCA metro group is forming, and asked staff to reconvene the group quickly if urgent statewide threats to solid‑waste policy arise.

Commissioners considered whether to continue participating in the AMC (Association of Minnesota Counties) solid‑waste working group.
