At the May 12, 2026 Board work session, staff member Ashley Jergenson presented a proposed timeline for Steele County’s 2027 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and budget development, and requested input on a dedicated CIP session. Commissioners agreed to hold a special budget meeting on June 9 at 3:00 pm to consider the preliminary draft 2027 CIP. This indicates the County is actively prioritizing and sequencing upcoming capital projects across departments for the 2027 fiscal year.During early CIP development, counties often refine project scopes, funding strategies (including state/federal grants and bond funds), and phasing for transportation, facilities, IT, parks, and public safety investments. Vendors providing capital planning, grant strategy, owner’s rep services, or sector-specific feasibility and cost estimating can engage County leadership as they shape the 2027 list. Positioning now can influence which projects move forward and how they’re structured for procurements in late 2026 and 2027.

Discussion occurred at the May 12, 2026 Board work session; CIP will cover 2027 capital and budget development, likely across multiple sectors.

Budget Planning

The preliminary 2027 budget includes "333 Audit Expense" at $30,000 under Legal and Professional. This shows the district planned to buy outside audit services in FY 2027, but no audit firm is named in the document. The budget hearing was scheduled for October 29, 2026, so the line is a pre-award signal for audit firms tracking public hospital work.
