Summary
The board approved the meeting agenda and consent agenda, authorized multiple contracts and agreements (audit, janitorial, NAC mechanical), approved property and land actions (excess vehicle, Reading Sewer land purchase), set seasonal wages, and approved funding and legal retainer items.
At its Jan. 20, 2026 meeting the Nobles County Board of Commissioners approved the agenda and consent agenda, and recorded a series of actions across departments:
Key actions recorded in the minutes include: approval of the consent agenda (moved by Justin Ahlers, seconded by Bob Paplow); proclamation of a 2022 Dodge Durango (Unit #2227, VIN 1C4RDJFG5NC184881) as excess property; approval to move forward with TipCo EVA implementation; $20,000 funding to support SMOC Children's Dental Services outreach; adoption of the 2026 temporary/seasonal wage schedule (projected starting pay $18.50 under historical increments); approval of CliftonLarsonAllen's audit engagement for the year ending Dec. 31, 2025; approval of a three-year NAC Mechanical & Electrical Services contract; Planning & Zoning consent to consider land-use text amendments prior to completion of the Comprehensive Plan (vote 4–1); consent to purchase 10.26 acres for Reading Sewer Service District; retention of Flaherty Hood P.A. for Geronimo Power data center legal work; and approval of the 2026 janitorial services schedule with Marsden Building Maintenance, LLC.
The minutes record movers and seconders for each motion but provide few roll-call tallies beyond the Planning & Zoning item (For: Paplow, Metz, Dybevick, Demuth; Against: Ahlers). Where the minutes state "duly passed" no roll-call counts were transcribed.
