\"Last month was Rushmore Avenue and Center Street West,\" Harvey said, noting continuing complaints about speeding. The city implemented parking restrictions on Ohio Avenue Southwest \"from 20 First Street Southwest to 20 Second Street Southwest,\" and blocked the first 50 feet from the curb of 20 First Street to reduce congestion in that growing neighborhood, Harvey said.

Harvey said a new stop sign has been installed at 20 Second Street Southeast and Kansas Avenue Southeast, an intersection near Huron Title and a cluster of drive-through businesses. He also said a crosswalk with flashing lights will be installed on 20 First Street at Ohio Avenue to improve pedestrian safety.

The commission heard a warning about cattle movements during the South Dakota State Fair. The mayor and a city official said cattle will be staged and moved on Nevada Avenue between Second Street and Market Road at certain times of day, and that volunteers or staff will flag traffic during peak movement times. \"Last thing we wanna do is scare a cow and have it take off on a little kid holding a cow,\" the police chief said, describing why flagging and slower traffic are important.

Harvey closed by reminding residents that school starts Wednesday and urging drivers to obey speed limits and yield where required.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Huron City Commission Meeting 8-18-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioner Harvey briefed the commission on recent public-safety work: new parking restrictions on Ohio Avenue SW, a stop sign at 20 Second Street SE and Kansas Avenue SE, a planned crosswalk with flashing lights on 20 First Street, and traffic-flagging for cattle movements during the South Dakota State Fair on Nevada Avenue.","taxTitle","Huron, Beadle County, South Dakota","taxId",51865,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":79,"_47":80,"_49":81,"_51":82,"_53":83,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":84,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":85,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6495018,"Huron City Commission approves consent agenda, two contractor pay requests and authorizes cybersecurity assessments",0,482000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5597495-11b00851ff847abf9c38949117e57c78&start=482&end=482","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5597495-11b00851ff847abf9c38949117e57c78/thumbnail_482000.jpg","/articles/6495018/Huron/Beadle-County/South-Dakota/Huron-City-Commission-approves-consent-agenda-two-contractor-pay-requests-and-authorizes-cybersecurity-assessments","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6495018-50caaed5c23ecfb91701758689eacbdf/orig.mp4?Expires=1776015557&Signature=Tler8aSSMXXOhfd6LnoYw8xvXuR5C0UbE1O0IFKil17jUDvrTWfluAD3VI3TeeJMFsl-19WSd~EVqbp0-RQZQKf4yAlfhMolXrPESzfbfrevXZtPeq8CiPRh1eZrH9dahz-76IlfdYbBWdnYL5vybNM7qVyXZ4ApKnl0CRhnjL1~VS7nTxoqhc3Lqin4SXAn1udNc6emNMjZ~qNirOT1DIzkalWuzwuB3zhDGOM3zXvibvQSjAf5oLomlWWmHXOEMWTEUStr3rTeQEmGP-JnMSjrN8HRvAub0vGVsfQfDNqiCHu6xAxWSPOMB~l~XZWtb3Z-8YJyYUv~6NseqYk8kw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huron City Commission approved routine personnel matters and several project payments and authorizations during its meeting.

The commission approved the consent agenda, which included approval of the Aug. 11, 2025 minutes; personnel actions (the full-time status of Catherine Eimar as deputy accounting coordinator and the promotion and reclassification of Garrett Welch to water sewer treatment operator level 3, among other items); job postings for a water sewer treatment uncertified position and an assistant city engineer; special-event alcohol licenses for events in October 2025; and payment of the bills.

The commission approved pay request No. 8 for bid 2024-11, Fourth Street reconstruction to Midland Contracting in the amount of $33,662.84. Assistant Engineer Dennis Bennett described the payment as a progress payment with only seeding remaining on the project. \"This is just progress payment on Fourth Street. Really, all that's left out there is some seating,\" Bennett said.

The commission also approved pay request No. 14 for bid 2023-21 for the solid-waste transfer station to Northstar Logistics LLC in the amount of $25,894.99 and authorized the mayor to sign the corresponding documents. Bennett said the transfer station project is nearing completion and that the payment covered another progress item.

On a separate departmental item, the commission authorized IT Director Chad Borgen to sign and execute agreements and documents on behalf of the city for assessments performed under the Secure SD program and its partners, intended for security testing and reporting on city cybersecurity posture. Borgen said the authorization covers agreements under the Secure SD umbrella.

All items on the consent agenda and the listed pay requests and authorizations passed on roll-call votes recorded during the meeting; individual motions were moved and seconded on the record but the transcript did not capture the names of the mover or seconder for each motion.","The commission approved the consent agenda (personnel and licenses), authorized pay request No. 8 for Fourth Street reconstruction ($33,662.84) and pay request No. 14 for the transfer station ($25,894.99), and authorized IT Director Chad Borgen to sign agreements for Secure SD cybersecurity assessments.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6495023,"Huron Plainsman sold to Champion Media; print schedule cut, owners pledge local control",156,59000,215000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5597495-11b00851ff847abf9c38949117e57c78&start=59&end=215","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5597495-11b00851ff847abf9c38949117e57c78/thumbnail_59000.jpg","/articles/6495023/Huron/Beadle-County/South-Dakota/Huron-Plainsman-sold-to-Champion-Media-print-schedule-cut-owners-pledge-local-control","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6495023-65b5b191049b7021818bd7c3f58e6155/orig.mp4?Expires=1776015557&Signature=FNe8cckRmgqjFL2lsHN0sLo8Dwe1fL7Qo8X49KfFpVircQjRRkvJ0aFhiopBCmVPgqeakhnXPr1vSWcSYvJm52Fq8JMsc2dGgK6kX4n62TsO85bNhObNJdzjQydLTzlMTzgRbG4av3Q5RIcVzoR-viz1UMApDF4WqosVW6RdTxzC3ISThdjs6JSfMedk5b~3KA2Ii-dbSJUcuE1iwSd33yxYO8btwsEyiv8dH70-v560tc7fiWLWlexMYih~qgPx44VUbvGkElFJgGAx5P9-geFm~qX9JOrmIg5iWHHB223-Of3RZpckV4xge6fIKwWwgUdVBDI~CQqNpzbXDq1JwQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ben Chase, editor of the Huron Plainsman, told the Huron City Commission that the newspaper was sold last Friday to Champion Media and will cut its print editions from five per week to two.

\"We were officially sold as of last Friday, to Champion Media,\" Ben Chase said during the public-forum portion of the meeting. \"We're gonna continue printing, 2 papers per week, so that will be different. We'll change from 5 per week to 2, but it will be 2 locally focused papers that will be a little thicker for your for your hands to play with.\"

Chase said the new owners, headquartered in North Carolina, were in Huron to meet staff and that the new ownership intends to preserve local operations. He said roughly 15 jobs will continue under the new ownership and that multiple community members had offered help during the transition. \"That's a very good thing,\" he said.

Mayor Robich and other commissioners thanked Chase and congratulated the paper during the public forum.

The announcement came during public forum; no formal action by the commission was recorded on the newspaper sale. Chase said the change will alter print frequency but that local editorial control will remain with staff in Huron. Specific details about the purchase agreement, including sale price and long-term staffing commitments, were not specified in the meeting record.","Ben Chase, editor of the Huron Plainsman, told the Huron City Commission that the newspaper was sold to Champion Media, will reduce print frequency from five editions to two per week, and that owners have pledged to maintain local editorial control and retain about 15 jobs.","actionData","errors"]
