The record. The Board meets the first and third Tuesdays at 9 a.m. in the County Board Room on the third floor of the Government Center in Red Wing (July at the Cannon Valley Fairgrounds, August at the Goodhue County Fairgrounds); the Meetings & Minutes page posts each 2026 meeting's agenda, minutes and video, and the window's minutes - January 6 through October 6, 2026 - were read whole, born-digital. The board is Linda Flanders (1st), Brad Anderson (2nd), Todd Greseth (3rd), Jason Majerus (4th) and Susan Betcher (5th), with County Administrator Ryan Arneson (the county's pages also spell the name Arneson/Arneson). The veteran item. The October 6, 2026 consent agenda, item 1: "Approve the Gambling Permit for Hiawatha Valley Family Beyond the Yellow Ribbon on October 24, 2026, at Frontenac Farms Off-Road Park, Red Wing" - the permit the board grants a veterans' family support organization for its event (Beyond the Yellow Ribbon is Minnesota's National Guard and veteran reconnection programme; see the State entries). It was approved with the rest of the consent agenda 5-0. The standing grants. The CVSO Operational Grant resolutions run through the board's consent agendas: the FY2023 packet's resolution (adopted September 6, 2022) and the FY2024 packet's Grant Form ("Grant Award: $12,500. Name of Grant: CVSO Operational Grant. Sponsoring Agency: Minnesota Department of Veterans Affairs. Grant Period: July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024", Justin Kent CVSO the primary contact) with the June 20, 2023 consent item "Approve the annual CVSO Operational Grant". Each authorizes "JUSTIN KENT ... be authorized to execute the attached Grant Contract for the above-mentioned Program on behalf of the County" under Minnesota Statutes 197.608 (see the State entries and the veterans-service-office entry). No FY2027 grant resolution appears in the window's 2026 minutes read - the gap goes to docs/COUNTY-REVISIT.md. No other veteran item. The window's minutes carry no veteran proclamation (the October 6, 2026 proclamation item is the 4-H Week one), no CVSO wage or budget line, and no treatment-court action; the operational list gives Goodhue an Adult Drug Court (2019) and no veterans court (the Third Judicial District's veterans court's county list excludes Goodhue). No veteran benefit was adopted, narrowed or repealed.
