Tenneson – District 3; and Rick Gilbertson – At Large Member. Motion carried unanimously. Next, Gapinski requested to discuss the topic of a Mediation Class through AMC and the League of Minnesota Cities under Commissioner Concerns. Gapinski asked the other County Board members if this class should be paid for privately or if this class could be paid for by Benton County and what they feel is most appropriate. After a brief discussion, it was decided that the Mediation Class would be beneficial to Benton County and Benton County would this class through the Central Training budget. Motion by Popp and seconded by Heinen to have Benton County pay for the Mediation Class through AMC and the League of Minnesota Cities from the Central Training budget. Gapinski abstained from the vote. Motion carried unanimously. The Regular County Board meeting was recessed at 9:36 AM to conduct a Human Services Board Meeting.

will be resolved. Motion carried unanimously. Next, Achman presented the Planning & Zoning Department 2021 Year End Activity/Revenue Report. This was for informational purposes only. No action was taken; no motion was made. Next, Headley requested the County Board to consider a Resolution authorizing a purchase agreement that establishes the parameters on two parcels of land in the City of Foley that may be used for future County space needs. The Resolution establishes two essential conditions that must be satisfied prior to closing: 1) re-zoning approved by the City of Foley from Residential to a B-1 Business District, and 2) completion of Phase 1 and 2 environmental assessments and the determination no soil remediation is required. Headley added that he would be brining the re-zoning application to the City of Foley today and if accepted, it would be on the February 14th City of Foley Planning Commission Meeting. Headley stated that Braun Intertec has begun phase 1 of the environmental assessment but does not have an expected date for completion. Headley also stated that this process follows the same process used when the Eisenschenk property was acquired. Motion by Johnson and seconded by Popp to adopt a Resolution authorizing a Purchase Agreement for Parcels within the City of Foley for future County Space needs with the two essential conditions that must be satisfied prior to closing. Motion carried unanimously. Next, Headley requested the County Board to consider revisions to assignments to the various Boards and Commissions. Heinen stated he spoke with Mary Otsby from the Benton County Fair Board, and she stated that it is not in their by-laws yet to have a member of the County Board to be a member of the Benton County Fair Board. They will be having a meeting soon to add this to their by-laws. Then, Headley asked for voluntary appointments to the East Central Regional Juvenile Center Advisory Board with Lino Lakes. After a brief discussion, the County Board decided that it would be appropriate and make the “most sense” to have Gapinski and Heinen appointed to this Board because of other committees they are assigned to that would tie into the East Central Regional Juvenile Center Advisory Board. Schlangen was appointed as an alternate to the Board. Last, Headley requested appointments to the Labor Negotiating Committee. After a brief discussion, it was decided to keep Heinen and Popp on the Labor Negotiating Committee. Motion by Johnson and seconded by Gapinski to adopt the County Board assignments of Gapinski and Heinen, and Schlangen as an alternate to the East Central Regional Juvenile Center Advisory Board; Heinen and Popp on the Labor Negotiating Committee; and to wait until the Benton County Fair Board has adopted into their by-laws language that states a member of the County Board will be a member of the Benton County Fair Board. Motion carried unanimously.
