From the meeting
The board agenda included an introduction of Anthony Lenz, the new chief executive officer of Mille Lacs Energy Cooperative. The packet says he brings leadership experience from the Minnesota Rural Electric Association and that the cooperative provides electric and broadband services to more than 13,000 members. This is a leadership-change signal that could affect utility and broadband priorities.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Aitkin County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Aitkin County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
