Chad, representing Planning and Zoning, said the request would rezone 87.4 acres from A-1 to approximately 3.2 acres of natural-resource zoning and 84.2 acres of R-2. The site is described as lying on the east side of 470 Second Avenue between 270 First Street and 270 Second Street, and staff asked the council to set the second-reading date. A councilmember moved to set the second reading for June 3, 2025; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.

No detailed debate of the rezoning is recorded in the transcript; staff said the applicant was present to answer questions.

During public comment, a local publisher — who identified himself as the owner and publisher and gave a Canton mailing address — recounted his efforts to cover Harrisburg and said local business advertising had not sustained a locally based newspaper since 2009. He warned that relying on regional outlets and social media leaves gaps in consistent local coverage.

“Since 02/2009, the CBLA has spent over a $100,000 to try to cover Harrisburg, to try to bring in the news, to try to bridge the gap and get weekly timely stuff out,” the publisher said. He explained that a newspaper must publish in the county for a year to become eligible to print legal notices in that county and that a paper licensed in Minnehaha County cannot automatically serve as the legal county publication for Lincoln County without separate arrangements.

Councilmember motioned to approve the Sioux Valley News as the official newspaper of the City of Harrisburg; the motion passed by voice vote. Councilmembers on record voting in favor included Wazinski, Maxwell and Larson. The council did not discuss any alternative proposals in the meeting record.

The publisher urged residents and the city to support local journalism through press releases and advertising, and he noted tools to search legal notices online at southdakotapublicnotices.com. The council’s action establishes the Sioux Valley News as the city’s designated outlet for official notices going forward.","The council named the Sioux Valley News as the city’s official newspaper after a public speaker — a local publisher — described financial challenges facing community newspapers and explained legal-notice requirements.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6135362,"Harrisburg council approves southeast infrastructure change order, removes backyard drainage portion for further review",632,859000,1491000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5673731-7c5cf85d7df94f23de4217de1441a42e&start=859&end=1491","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5673731-7c5cf85d7df94f23de4217de1441a42e/thumbnail_859000.jpg","/articles/6135362/Harrisburg-City/Lincoln-County/South-Dakota/Harrisburg-council-approves-southeast-infrastructure-change-order-removes-backyard-drainage-portion-for-further-review","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6135362-f76d86971f9aaf233c634b84a657258c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771207546&Signature=hpFoFFVoGQekCxaz~acbejVzVqqtO1FX-yiEug1hR5-4246ZD0Auc9booG1S48i0GcFpc1iV8w~dFkkchWNyiQj0u82bwbnjkhRoIy~tZ0o~epV9AqTLDrU5kuc8MnPnE4WQsmx~tGIqmgpnzSdkQs7sZrKqLhef58rkVLkKozqULc8foPK6IU0YrN-LY0O06Y0H7bmOLuMUO3PL75ozUClZxZOxE1FFXKlZMA1VShQnT1CH2GA9I57Pj7PzjuaEDrMihwCIooWNmCSuc6J91RogFCER7yGyJwTwvR4Qa5t54lc2bZfgSpBE9eZjMcmikBaRJJ3acWhJdNRdkoOuYQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Harrisburg City Council on Monday approved Change Order No. 3 for the Southeast Infrastructure Improvements project, adding work that increased the contract sum while removing a proposed backyard drainage extension for further study and homeowner discussion.

Councilmembers approved the change order as presented but excluded the portion described in the meeting as the backyard drainage stub (referred to in the discussion as RFP 4 / item 4.2) so the city can return to the issue at a later meeting. Planning staff said the change order adds three calendar days to the contract and moves the substantial completion date from Nov. 26 to Dec. 1.

Chad, a Planning and Zoning representative, told the council the change order’s line items include an RFP component for the backyard stub at $17,804.28, revisions to the Elm Street bulb that increase paving, and a sanitary-sewer repair tied to work on Anna Way. He said, “the change order total is just over 107,000, which is very low,” referring to cumulative change orders on the larger project and explained much of the current change order cost is for paving, gravel and concrete.

Residents and councilmembers debated the drainage stub that would run from the public right-of-way through private backyards. Staff described the backyard work as 358 feet of 6-inch perforated pipe with small area inlets and said one contractor estimate for the full backyard routing was roughly $34,000, with an additional roughly $17,800 to trench under the sidewalk. Councilmembers questioned who would pay for work on private property and whether the partial fix being proposed would adequately reduce flooding in the area.

Public commenter Kyle Hannah, who lives on Tiger Street and raised the drainage problem during public comment, asked the council to delay approval of the backyard portion until affected neighbors can review the plan. Councilmembers agreed and moved to remove that item from the change order and revisit it at the next meeting.

The council approved the amended change order by voice vote. City staff said the Elm Street bulb revision was the more pressing element of this change order and will proceed as approved. Staff also said the sanitary sewer repair included in the change order addressed a backup the contractor and city crews addressed earlier on Anna Way.

The council’s action accepts the change order minus the backyard drainage extension; the excluded portion will return to the council for further discussion and clarification about property impacts, fence removal, utilities and cost-sharing before any work on private property proceeds.","The Harrisburg City Council approved Change Order No. 3 for the Southeast Infrastructure Improvements project, adding work and days to the contract while excising a proposed backyard drainage extension for more discussion and homeowner outreach.","actionData","errors"]
