And um which is 12.1 and this is the annual recognition of our heroes and idea leadership awards. And I'm uh so thrilled or we are that you're all here today. So, uh, these awards celebrate incredible efforts of individuals and teams that work for our county and what you do for our residents every year. And to get this started, uh, I'm going to turn it over to our county manager, Heidi Welsh. But uh just process uh I'm going to ask the board as she reads the names and groups we'll step out front have our pictures taken and once this is all finished we also have a reception for all of you to partake afterwards. So with that uh we'll begin. >> Well thank you Mr. Chair. It always feels odd, you know, do you stand on the audience but it feels odd to have my back to the commissioner. So try to kind of turn serve both places there. >> Well, good morning everybody. Thanks for coming. I know it's long trip for some of you to come down to this part of the county, but we're glad to see you and we're really excited to be here to celebrate the fantastic work that's being done by all of our uh employees and especially in these special projects that we're going to talk about. Uh just really amazing work. So today I'm excited to recognize some truly wonderful things. And to start off with, we are going to present the idea awards. This is an award we launched in 2023, our idea leadership award, which honors contributions of staff to inclusion, diversity, equity, and access, which you know is one of our bard goals and something that we focus on here in this county. Thank you to the the countywide ideas selection committee. Anybody here from the idea selection committee? We want to thank you. Raise your hands higher, please. >> Thank you. Okay. They do a lot of hard work every year picking our winners from among the nominees. There's two categories for this award, the group and the individual. Uh and the winners must reflect efforts to advance the county's idea goals which are first to ensure our environment is welcoming to diversity. Second to recruit and retain workforce that's reflective of the community in which we live and third to have culturally aware and competent workforce. So those are the three goals of our idea work. Winners must create, enhance, or redesign a new idea, policy, program, or service or event with impact uh on or potential impact on the county. So, that's what they're looking for. That's what that team is looking for when they come up with the winners. And I'm sure they had a lot of nominees. So, to introduce this year's group winner, little drum roll. I really need a button mark in this class. Drum roll. It is the Dakota County Library Adult Services Team. >> Raise your hand if you're part of that team. We're going to take pictures in a minute, but just raise your hand for now so we know who you're >> all right. >> And with us today from the team, I don't think everybody's here. No, definitely not everybody's here, right? But um we've got Alexandra Adrien. Would you raise your hand when I not here? Okay. How about Deborah Bifolk? Not here. Okay. Holly Carlson. Very good. Siri Sarah Connelly. Okay. Betsy Cuts. What's that? >> Oh, leave. Okay. Jerry Ericson. >> Okay. Aaron Hall. I'm thinking about how full the room would have been if everybody was here, right? >> Matt. Okay. Melissa Pondish. >> There you go. >> Good. Stacy Price. Excellent. And Barb Zabota. Okay. Did I forget anybody? Let's just make sure. All right. The Dakota County Adult Library Library Adult Services Team concluded a very successful artist in residence series. Yes. with Tomas Ara in 2025. Tomas Tomas isn't here, I assume. Dard, otherwise we'd honor him as well. Tomas is a multimedia artist who whose work centers around storytelling, cultural healing in including indigenous knowledge and environmental awareness. Sounds really good. Tomas offered a series of art events to our library branches which included Minnesota landscapes and cultural paint nature paintings among other things. The library saw new participants program participants thanks to this artist and resident uh event. Sessions were offered in both Spanish and English um and which helped us to reach new audiences for the library programs. In addition to idea goals, a sense of belonging. This project really deepened partnerships and a sense of belonging with Spanish speakers. A big thank you to everyone who participated in this project. Congratulations. >> I'm following my notes. Yes. Okay. Just bear with us. We have too many too many paychecks. We have the individual word. Am I got it right? Okay, there's the leader. The band leader is in bed. >> We're all following her instruction. >> Very good. >> Um, so next we will do the idea individual leadership award winner. And I'm sorry to say I understand this person is not here today. Hope probably not available today. But the winner is Dua Tao. Yes. And somebody's here named Diane Podilski. Very good. Who will receive the award for view up in 2025? This is kind of amazing work. When I read through this, I thought, "Oh, this is amazing." In 2025, Duo worked with a community member Reema Chaka Raorti to host a holy event. A holy event is it is a an annual celebration in the Hindu community. Cool. >> Right. Um and they they assembled volunteers. Oh, sorry. I skipped a piece. And it was at the Heritage Library in Lakeville. Very good. They assembled volunteers from the local South Asian community and they put on an afternoon uh filled with cultural activities including music, dance, rangoli puzzles, which I feel like I should know what that is, but I don't and I feel like I really missed something there. Holy themed coloring, language learning and play. The celebration cumulate uh culminated in a traditional throwing of brightly colored powder. The county received a lot of feed positive feedback from the South Asian community as well as other members of the community attending such an event for the first time and I think it's notable DA also uh through this work with I mean it expanded beyond just this one event didn't it? Yeah. So, Dua also uh worked with that Southeast Asian community and brought Bengali story times, culturally meaningful play scenarios, music events, and much more to that library. In addition, DA is known as a champion. Yeah. Okay. I'm looking at her colleagues. um who a champion of idea work in Dakota County and demonstrates community connections and commitment to joyful diverse experiences with her tremendous impact. So please um let's give a round I know she's not here but let's give her a round of applause. >> Okay, now we're going to cue the photos for the idea awards. We're going to present the awards and have the commissioners come down for a photo. Let's start with the group. So, the um adult librarian group I'll have everyone step back. >> And yeah, uh if you can see the camera here, we should be good. Um, take a half step that the other way. There we go. Okay. And then we'll have always feel reminded like I'm really glad I wasn't left in charge of photography. screw that up so much. Okay, as our commissioners get back to their chairs, we're going to uh go next to our heroes awards. Heroes. I wonder if anybody here can knows what that stands for. I bet some of you do. I could not just rip it out of my head, but here it is. Honoring, effective, responsive, outstanding, efficient service. I wonder who came up with that cuz that was good. Somebody thought long and hard about that. It recognizes collaboration in particular across the county, often involving multiple departments and divisions. Winners over the years also demonstrate the mission of the county and uh and our values. Now, let's see. Anybody want to say it with me all together? Here we go. Service. Come on. Integrity, >> people, and innovation. Nice. I'm impressed. Okay. Each year, exceptional projects are nominated for the Heroes Awards and a countywide selection committee. Raise your hand. Countywide selection committee. Thank you. A lot of work goes into that as well. Uh they sort through and they select the projects that will compete for that top honor. This year we received 10 nominations and choosing the top three finalists is always kind of tricky, isn't it? As I bet that committee can attest to. The first finalist is the Allterrain track chair program. Raise your hand. Just raise your hand quick so we know where you're sitting. Okay, look. They're all sitting together. Okay. Dakota County's Allterrain Track Chair program created more inclusive and accessible ways for people with mobility challenges to enjoy nature through a program that offers all-terrain track chairs and more. It's not just the chair alone. A lot of teamwork went into this from finance, risk management, communications, public affairs, parks, and others. Um and uh and it was officially introduced in November of 2025. Parks led this initiative, but there were a lot of others, of course. Fleet helped to acquire the track chairs and overseeing the ongoing maintenance and service. Kevin, I saw him there. Kevin, he barely needs an introduction. There he is. Kevin Schlagan from And Corey Kuvenid. Kuvenid. Did I do it? Oh, man. You over How many times do people ever get it right? >> Okay. Thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you for that. Were involved in research talks with the DNR and handled equipment purchase and installation. Risk management and the sheriff's office work together to assess safety issues and to set up emergency response plans. facilities management team installed a new door frame at the Lebanon Hills Visitors Center to allow the track chair to move in and out. I'm I'm assuming um and also had to work to remove plants and things that might have been in the whale uh away in the way on the trails to make that safer. Parks visitors team created operational framework. The GIS staff updated maps, communications and public's affairs did public outreach including a promotional video. Jess Johnson and Sky Jary involved county partners, clients of uh clients and the disability advisory council team and community members. It was important to make sure that the experience of reserving and using this allterrain track chair worked for those who wanted to utilize it. There were volunteers. I Is there somebody here today? Is Maddie here? There. Okay. Maddie. Uh, yes, we had some volunteers. Maddie, who's here with us today? And Haley, who? Yes. Haley, who I think is not here today. Okay. Uh, came with their parents, Greg Witcher. Yep. And Pat and Corey Douglas. And they spent half a day with Parks team. uh and they went through all kinds of steps of reserving a chair online and using the track chair in different conditions over sand and paved trails and uneven trails. You can imagine why it was really important to test this out. >> So, we really want to especially thank Haley and her her dad for spending that time. It really is a much more valuable project because of that. Um and uh and we had representatives from the allterrain track chair program with us today and I'd like to call their names now and then we'll ask you to join us up here for a photo at the end of this ceremony. I'm looking at the person in charge. I wait till the end. At the end. Okay. And so those participants are and could you just raise your hand so or stand up so we know everybody gets to see Jess Johnson. Come on. Good. It's another chance for me to screw up people's names. Me, too. So, there you go. >> From >> I'm doing a good job so far, aren't I? Yeah. Communications. Get that one right. >> Longer. Mike, where are you? There you are. Okay. Troy Mallet. Troy, where's Troy? He's not here. Okay. Troy in abstentia. Nick Peterson. There he is from Greg Wisher. Wonderful. And his terrific daughter. Thank you. Okay. Uh, from environmental resources, Katie PA. Is Katie here? >> Terrific. From facilities management, Randy Cunningham. Mhm. Greg Leonard. Terrific. Adam Monte and Bart Purchet. Bart, are you here? Okay, Bart in abstentia. And then from Fleet, here I go. I'm going to get another got another chance here. Corey Kuvenlin. Did I do it? >> Don't hold back. Say it out loud. >> Hi. >> It's a high mark. And Kevin Schlugginan. Awesome. From it, we have Beth Ko. Beth, awesome. Sky Jarby from human human resources and idea. From parks, Kaen Brink. Kaen. Shannon Coin. Shannon Grant Fleetwood, wonderful. Beth Landal, wonderful. Carrie Larson and Alyssa Riggs, wonderful. I don't know. We don't have her on here, but I think we should include Nikki Gistler. Yes. >> Come on. >> Yes. >> Very good. Risk management. Janine Salute. Did I say that one right? >> Okay. Good. One. One. Green star for me. Sheriff's office. John Riners not here. Okay. Brian Smith. Uh that's the whole team. So kudos to everybody on this team who worked on it and thank you for such a successful amazing work. All right. Next we're going to talk about the second finalist for the Heroes Award. The second finalist group is the ENA service model redesign. Where are you? If you're here from There we go. Okay. See how we separated ourselves except for Greg who's on two different lists here. All right. Very good. This project actually began in August of 2024 to address significant operational needs in ENA public assistance. The service model redesign started as a business improvement study and transformed into a complete overhaul of service delivery. And if you don't know this team is busy as it you know without before this and beyond this they were busy. So let's just put more on their plate. But it resulted in noticeable operational enhancements and a significant cultural change in work pro projects practices. The project needed many hours of teamwork across different divisions and departments and it focused on problem solving prioritizing the customer. It united A&EA's public assistance staff, IT, social services, public health, and the Minnesota Department of Human Services. Nobody's here from Yeah. No, but it's, you know, it's good. We see him as, you know, useful participants once in a while. And a private consulting group and community partners to update workflows, use technology effectively, coordinate efforts where they are most beneficial. The collaboration led to, this is big, a reduction in the number of programs that financial assistance specialists need to learn. So that, think about that, that's really helpful for a group of our staff who are among the most texted with all kinds of rules and just programs that they need to memorize, things, facts they need to know. So that's really helpful. It also shortened the training time. It clarified supervisory duties and it introduced innovative technology solutions. And I think here um what's really important, we're going to talk about some of the outcomes which the board has heard about hears about every month, but one of them is the SNAP. Now, those of you who don't know SNAP, that stands for uh supplemental nutritional assistance program. That's what we you may think of as food stamps or food program. The SNAP 30-day application timeliness. So, how quickly this gets turned around. It improved from 32% to 80%. That's amazing. >> Wow. >> That's amazing work. The cash program timeliness increased from 67%. So, 67% were within timelines to 90%. >> Wow. >> So, really shows that um just a huge improvement. And then also the application review times reverted to precoid levels. I don't know exactly what that means, but it did get long during CO, didn't it? So, really able to show what good work they did. The service model redesign showcases a government that is efficient, effective, let's hear it, and responsive. There you go. By enhancing customer results while creating a sustainable and accountable workforce from this team we have here today, and if you would just stand up or w at least wave, I'd like you to stand up. Christina Lundren from Capital Projects. Very good. From ENA at Sham Albi here. Not here. Okay. Michaela Anderson. Very good. Beth Bashilia. Is Beth here? Okay. Now, just imagine. See what I mean? We would have to have two of these boardrooms if everybody even though we would have wanted them. Uh Lin Carr. Lynn, are you here? >> Okay. Crystal Hov, very good. Samantha Lavine. Nate Londinine London. I did. Okay. Now I can't remember if this is Tanya or Tanya McGregor. Tanya. I should have remembered that. Tanya McGregor. Tiffany Miller. T. Okay. Amanda Nielson. Wesley Wyn. Very good. Robin Roberts. Not here. Rachel Simmer. Very good. Tristan Scogland. Okay. Amy Cifco and Greg Wisher. Very good. Then from Community Services Administration, Alyssa Ericson. Alyssa, are you here? Not here today. From it, Andy Frink. There he is. All right. Uh Scott Jara. There he is. Paul Hatton. Very good. And from child support, Amy Schillings. Amy here. Okay, let's give him a round of applause. Really amazing work. All right, next. Our third heroes finalist this year is also libraries. Library locations as community health hubs. I really love this one. In the past year, public health has collaborated with libraries to provide various health resources, events, and messages aimed at creating a healthy, thriving, and fair community for everyone. This part partnership has highlighted three main public health priorities, reducing opioid overdoses, improving breastfeeding rates and experiences, something that's near and dear to my own heart, and promote mental health resources, and reducing stigma. Really good. I mean, just this is such a good partnership. Public health always looking for new ways to share resources and the library always looking to help, >> right? Uh offering safe spaces and passionate staff have reconsidered how county services can work together transforming libraries locations into community health centers. What a good idea. Public health provided Nlloxxone training to library staff about 1,200 free Nlloxxone kits. Everybody that's people are nodding. Okay, remember this printed opioid resources, public health nurses and lactation experts, credible mind platform and promotional materials, uh, and mental health resources. The library provided 10 safe and accessible locations across the county. staff, many of them who are here, are willing to get trained and distribute Nlloxxone spaces to host feeding your baby support groups, promotion of opioid, mental health, and feeding your baby events, materials, and resources. The partnership prioritizes community members health, whether they are facing substance use abuse, adapting to life with a newborn, or seeking mental health support. I mean, what a good idea. I hope we even expand this. It's just it's it's such a great idea. The project was a significant team effort and those who are involved. Now I want you to stand up again from the library and fried here. Very good. Hannah uh hi Nikki. Did I get it right? Yes. Diane Podilski. Good. Jennifer Riker Simpson. Uh Rodriguez not here. She's not here. >> Terry Rumpa. Terry and Christa Treat. Christa. Very good. And then from public health, Ashley Briggs actually here. Very good. Aaron Carter. Matt Gil. Very good. Colleen Hardy. Nice. James Johnson Jr. >> Betsy Lmark. Betsy. Okay. Victoria Streeter. Good. Beth Unton. Did I say that right? Okay. I She's just nice. She's being nice. I didn't say it right. Natalie Vasi. Very good. Um, and I don't think we should let it go without having Gina, our department director, be noted as well. So, thank you all for bringing our attendance. Okay. Now, the committee has given me a special note here before we reveal the winner. Nobody knows >> unless you have the reading. >> Okay. Sorry about everyone. Close your eyes. No. Okay. Blast you up there. Before I announce it, I'm going to give you the special note from our I from our team that uh that chose the hero awards and that is that we'd like to recognize our IT department because they have provided exceptional support and they noted that of the 10 nominees for the hero awards, six of those collaborations involved it. Nice. So, let's just give a little round of applause thanking our Okay, a little antilimatic. I wouldn't have a drum roll, but here we are. Our finalist, the winner that's been chosen is the allterrain truck chair. And now we're going to watch a little video about it, which I think is pretty fantastic. So, we'll cue the video. >> Oh, sound. Go back to the sound. Can you see why we need why he did it? It's always like that gremlin here and then when the meeting comes >> got the sound on. She keeps going the wrong thing. Okay. Can we post it? >> Okay, we will set it out to everyone uh so you can see it with sound because I think it is fantastic. Very sorry about that. >> Yep. We'll let it play through, but um >> these voices in my head >> Oh, it's got the Yeah. >> Oh, there you can see the words on the bottom. >> You can see what the chair looks like and how it operates there. >> That looks like that'd be worth listening to that um interview. the participant. Okay, it's going to be a great video and hit it in. Oh, wonderful. All right, so now we are going to move to photos and we're going to start with the all train track team and if you all would come forward and the commissioners will come down and commissioner Drossi, will you please present the trophy? You want fast? Everyone together shoulder. >> Congratulations. So on behalf of the board of commissioners, we have four trophies that present them to each department. >> The honorary guess Okay. >> And >> so thank you and then uh >> board shoulder to shoulder. >> Got to see the camera. Perfect. >> Wonderful. and the real person in charge has told me that we'll post that video to uh DC Works and we're going to have a reception afterwards so we'll have time to really talk a little bit more in depth with team. So next we're going to move on to the ENA photos with the ENA public assistance service model redesign. So, would everybody from that team come on up for a picture? >> Yeah. Let's go. >> Yes. Are you going after Thank you. >> All right. And now we will go to our third team and that's the community health hubs. So, libraries and public health come and everybody else that was involved in that, come on up. >> Wonderful. How are you? I think Good. Well, thank you everybody and I'm going to turn it back to Commissioner Dassi. Just hang with us for we got just a couple more board items and then we'll go out and have a a little reception. So, hang on. >> So, uh thank you Heidi and uh each and every one of you. Uh you know I neglected when we started. I know many uh employees are watching live on stream. So welcome to you belated. But to each and every one of you as teams and employees uh your dedicated service every day uh means a lot to each of us as leaders but most importantly to all the people we serve every day. So, uh, heartfelt thank you. And, uh, like Heidi said, we'll have a reception afterwards. We have a few items here yet we need to finish. So, with that, there is a resolution here uh that we need to uh pass. So, >> I will move uh move it. >> I'll second it. Um, we have a motion by Commissioner Hay Monroan, a second by Commissioner Slavic. Um, would you please take the role? >> Commissioner Hullberg, >> yes. >> Commissioner Drasty, >> yes. >> Commissioner Hman Roland, >> yes. >> Commissioner Slavic, >> yes. >> Commissioner Workman, >> yes. Commissioner Atkins, >> yes. >> Motion carries. And now we'll move on to uh updates in our agency reports. And the first one before us is the Association of Minnesota Counties. >> And I will take that, Mr. Chair. And I would just like to uh remind us that the leadership summit will begin tomorrow. Uh and I think that's going to be very well attended. Um, the AMC will give an overview of the governor's HHS budget, uh, which will be today at 1:00. And the governmental governor's supplemental bud, uh, tax bill proposes no county, uh, cuts to county CPA. Cross our fingers. So, and that concludes mine. And >> I think you're good. >> Okay, great. >> Thank you. Uh, next up is Metropolitan Emergency Services Board, Commissioner Atkins. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Met last week, several unremarkable approvals that were made in a legislative uh update that was basically saying we don't know what's happening yet relative to Metropolitan Emergency Service Board items. >> Thank you. Uh, next one's Minnesota and our county association or Micah and we did have a meeting last week and like uh just about every agency tracking legislative issues especially I'd say the governor's budget and the automation of health and human services uh throughout our counties. Uh next up is Metropolitan Mosquito Control Commission. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, I'm not sure if I have a meeting tomorrow. I'm waiting to find out. However, a PSA for everyone. With all the snow that has melted, do a yard check. And if you have any containers holding any water, get rid of it because it's the perfect breeding ground for mosquitoes. Even though we don't have them now, we will not too soon. >> Get rid of your tires and tires. And I should say thank you for the PSA announcement. >> You are most welcome. >> Uh next up is National Association of Counties or NAO. Any >> no updates? >> No updates there. Uh we'll move on to the transportation advisory board. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. We um met last week. Uh the um vote on the final releasing the new standards for the regional solicitation uh passed um and will be going uh for approval before the Met Council in April. Um none of the changes that we were hoping for uh happened as a result of the public comment period. there is a training I've talked about uh the community connections and them uh looking for people to score um this portion of the grant applications and uh starting um uh a week from Monday is a work session quite extensive I believe it's from like 9:30 to 3 they're looking for members of the community um that might be interested in being scores of that portion of the grant >> um to begin to be trained. There'll also be webinars, but we'll be looking for our transportation staff to engage in this process because of how subjective this point category is going to be, how we structure our grant applications and what we include um will be really important for our success or failure. And this again, as I have stated, this first round has an inordinately high amount of active transportation dollars because it's taken us a while to ramp up this grant program. So, if we get it wrong, there's a lot of risk in this round of funding. So, we need to put our creative thinking hats on as far as what we want to accomplish in the area of transportation, particularly active transportation, and prepare uh to this is going to move pretty fast. They want to award the grants by the end of the year. So, you're probably looking at grant applications due sometime this summer. Any questions? >> A lot. >> Thank you. Uh, next item is for Millian River Watershed Joint Powers Board >> and the next board meeting is this Thursday, March 26. >> Okay. And then the last one is Workforce Development. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, this week is the National Association Workforce Board Conference and we have members that are present at that event. Um, the April Workforce Board Eye on the Future will include an overview of the knob. That's what that we affectionately call the National Association of Workforce Board Conference. >> Our legislative um visits will be begin uh April 7th and probably go through the 10th. Uh Career Force is seeing increased enrollments and placement dislocated worker and adult programs are extremely busy and close to capacity for the year. That's significant. And the teen job fair on Saturday, April 11th, will be at the Western Services Center. We already have 25 employers. We still have room for more employers. So, anybody listening that might be interested. Um I know that that the city of Apple Valley Parks Department is also uh going to be there this year. The event will bring in the Big Ideas mobile trailer, DCTC and Inenver Hills Community College, and MVTA. And March is food awareness month, and MVTA has buses available to be filled with your food donations. So, anybody interested, make sure you let us know. And that concludes my report. Thank you. >> Thank you. Uh, are there any other announcements from any board member? And if not, I'll now turn it over to our county manager. Uh, please go ahead. >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. Just one thing, I forgot to thank one person, and that's Stephanie Lro. Stephanie, could you stand up quick? Stephanie oversees all of this work. >> We really appreciate your efforts. I know it takes a lot to put on something like this. So, thank you, Mr. Chair. That's all I have for you today. >> And thank you. And that concludes our agenda. So, uh before I adjourn, our next meeting will be at what time starting after this >> 10 o'clock. >> 10:30. >> Yeah. Half an hour. >> Oh, well, we have 48. Oh, >> quarter after. >> As you can see, I've lost control. We'll say uh about 10:30. So, with that, uh is there a motion to adjurnn? >> So, moved. >> Second. >> We have a motion and second.
