Place: Room 219, Courthouse, Caledonia, MN
Members Present: Eric Johnson, Teresa Walter, Jack Miller (remote) and Robert Burns
Board Workgroup Session
Call to order.
Administrator Babinski and Engineer Pogodzinski provided an update to the Board on planning documents after reviewing the latest site design and building requirements with Norman Barrientos, as he and his staff complete Task 4 of their proposal, which will provide the County with the documents needed to go forth with a request for proposal for a Contract Manager. The Board discussed the changes, budget concerns with the project and the next steps to keep the project moving forward.
The Board discussed the proposed Request for Proposal for assisting with the Comprehensive Land Use Plan tabled from the March 10th Board Meeting. After discussion and minor change recommendations, the Board decided formal action was not needed to initiate the RFP, but would wait to act once proposals are received.
Administrator Babinski discussed the status of COVID-19 pandemic responses in other counties in response to the Executive Order from Governor Walz. The Board was in general agreement to allow Board Chair Johnson to decide when to formalize an Emergency Declaration after consultation with Administrator Babinski and forgo formal action until the scheduled March 24 Board Meeting, rather than calling an emergency session.
The workgroup session adjourned at 11:05 a.m.
