The Yankton City Commission convened on July 14, 2025, to discuss several key items, including easements for airport property and a property plat for the Schulte Subdivision.
The meeting began with the approval of a proposed easement for the Yankton Water District on city-owned airport property. The commission unanimously passed Resolution Number 25-28, establishing perpetual right-of-way easements on Airport Lot A2 and Lot A3. All members, including Mayor Villanueva, voted in favor of the motion.
Next, the commission considered a property plat for Lot 7 of the Schulte Subdivision, located in the 3200 block of Denny Lane. This resolution, numbered 25-29, also received unanimous approval from the commission, with all members voting in favor except for one abstention.
Another significant topic was the release of an option to purchase certain lots in Lower Yankton City. The city manager was authorized to execute this release, which was requested by property owner Cody Richardson. He explained that he had completed two phases of development but needed more time to find the right business opportunity for the remaining phase. The commission expressed support for Richardson's approach, acknowledging the improvements made in the area.
Overall, the meeting highlighted the commission's commitment to facilitating development and enhancing local infrastructure, with all resolutions passing smoothly. The next steps will involve the implementation of the approved easements and continued support for local development initiatives.
