2018 Legislative Wrap-up

Commissioner Kathleen Gaylord and the County Board met with our Dakota County Legislative delegation in June to discuss our successes during the 2018 legislative session. With bipartisan support, Dakota County received requested funding for our public safety training facility, the Safety and Mental Health Alternative Response (SMART) Center. The Legislature and Governor Mark Dayton approved $6.2 million in funding for the project.

We have worked to find common ground with our delegation and the result has been a great working relationship and success on our County priorities which helps move Dakota County ahead for all of us.
