Brian Nott notified the board of upcoming regulations effective Jan. 1, 2026 requiring that all utility locates be logged back into the Positive Response System. Staff discussed mobile-app options; Brandt Esling said the department is taking a class related to the change and staff will query JULIE about request routing through the app.
