City finance staff summarized key figures: \"after tax revenue has an increase of 2.9%,\" and staff reported a line item described in the meeting as \"new growth 1.19\" (as stated in the presentation). The presenter gave a 2026 budget total of $40,896,417 and said that represented about a 9% decrease from the previous year, largely because major projects—identified in the meeting as downtown and certain water and sewer projects—are completed and no longer in the budget.

Staff provided capital-asset totals by fund as stated in the presentation: second-penny capital assets listed at $4,618,652; water capital assets $279,004.27; sewer $676,000; and solid-waste $398,000.11. Enterprise-rate changes cited from an initial study were summarized as 4.5% for water, 4.2% for sewer and 5% for solid waste.

Finance staff recommended adoption after multiple months of preparation and negotiation with unions; the commission approved the second reading on a recorded roll call vote.

The commission made no substantive changes on second reading and recorded no public comments on the ordinance in the meeting transcript.

The commission voted to adopt the ordinance on second reading, which completes the council's formal adoption process for the appropriation as recorded in the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Huron City Commission Meeting 9-29-2025","oneSentenceSummary","On second reading the Huron City Commission adopted the 2026 annual appropriation ordinance.

The commission approved the consent agenda, which included personnel actions (retirement, resignation, and new hires) and special-event alcohol permits, by roll call vote. Final pay applications for two completed projects also were approved. Commissioners voted to declare assorted city property surplus and to set an online auction closing Oct. 21, 2025.

On second reading the commission adopted the 2026 annual appropriation ordinance (listed in the meeting as ordinance 22 75-30-4 248). The commission also approved a second-reading zoning ordinance described in the meeting as 22 74-23-4 17 to revise home-occupation language and related sign provisions.

Separately, the commission approved a resolution to vacate a street and establish a utility-easement area in support of the HMMI LLC expansion project (resolution listed as 2025-O5) and approved a related plat. The commission also adopted a resolution listed in the meeting as 2025-O6 removing the separate erector’s license requirement for sign installation and eliminating the associated fee.

All listed votes on ordinances, resolutions, pay requests and the consent agenda passed on roll call votes recorded in the meeting (aye votes recorded by Commissioners Smith, Klute/Cluth, Harvey and the mayor). No recorded nay votes or abstentions were entered in the meeting transcript.

City staff explained that some national sign companies were unaware of a separate erector's license in addition to sign permits, which complicated permit closeout. The staff presenter said the change standardizes the process so the sign permit contains the necessary documentation—location, size and aggregate square footage calculations—and staff will continue to review and locate each permitted sign.

Cody Honeywell, the city's legal counsel on Zoom, advised the commission that public comment was optional for the item and did not object to hearing remarks. An audience speaker who described himself as a national site provider (identified in the transcript as David) told the commission: \"It's way better just to have 1 permit and 1 bucket, have everything you need there and move on,\" adding that separate erector licensing can leave permits open and complicate property histories.

Commissioners asked clarifying questions about responsibility if a sign ends up in the wrong place; staff said the permitting and sign-location review is part of the permit process and that when necessary the business that installed the sign would ultimately be responsible for compliance. The commission approved the resolution listed in the meeting as 2025-O6 removing the erector's license and associated fee.

No formal legal changes to other sign-permit obligations or to DOT coordination requirements along Dakota Avenue were recorded in the meeting beyond the removal of the erector's-license fee and the ordinance cleanup described by staff.","The commission approved a resolution eliminating the separate erector’s license and its fee; staff said sign installation oversight will remain part of the sign-permit process, and a national site-provider commenter said consolidating permits is preferable.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6454836,"Commission approves plat and street vacation to support HMMI expansion; establishes utility easement",460,388000,848000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5857888-4a4a91c12004662773883ab5d360a9d5&start=388&end=848","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5857888-4a4a91c12004662773883ab5d360a9d5/thumbnail_388000.jpg","/articles/6454836/Huron/Beadle-County/South-Dakota/Commission-approves-plat-and-street-vacation-to-support-HMMI-expansion-establishes-utility-easement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6454836-8ac264ff54194ad1083e518ec8c6d026/orig.mp4?Expires=1771131998&Signature=GD57CDQrzNnL4z-nRtMQlFqCqd-licWIJ5mzjikYREmWYRDswGesRV661BQMBANvnjwr9DeDybUiQDUBGk6iykgxSrFkFyC9gmelFKzMuySaLjt28U7gE-cBu1sOMXSZsvyMUgm1jhjzKhnSQft1XC0LSJZ1bem~OJi-seZvGzyVf6OeDCG3DmdGT43cJsRlYajeZjqbG3~snGVUp4GppEkTh6oppoqVRERtZwfgCWL~mIeMzWjiHW2tjOh6A8WNZtk2s20vRE5L6nRU~3LKcr7FpzuArZ8Bd2ysrTnj4L1dZJqgdm0cxp~qNjEUfUmZWvqrs57KawupmpLVloyNuw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Huron City Commission voted to approve a plat and a formal resolution authorizing the vacation of a street area to support an expansion by HMMI LLC (referred to in the meeting as Horizontal Machining).

City staff described the plat as establishing a 20-foot vacation area to be treated as an easement, with the exception of a small notch adjacent to the proposed building addition. Staff said the plat corresponds to a prior vacation approved at an earlier meeting and that it meets the conditions the commission previously set. Staff also told the commission that Northwestern (a stakeholder identified in the staff presentation) provided final approval for the easement arrangement.

A separate resolution (recorded in the meeting as resolution 2025-O5) was presented for formal adoption; staff explained that filing the resolution with the Department of Revenue and the registered-deed office triggers conveyance of the property to Horizontal Machining for the addition. The commission voted to approve both the plat and the resolution by roll call vote.

Commissioners asked no substantive follow-up questions during the recorded discussion. Staff and applicants will proceed with the deed recordings and any subsequent implementation steps required by the city.","The commission approved a plat that establishes a 20-foot vacation area as an easement and adopted a resolution to vacate a street to allow Horizontal Machining/HMMI LLC to expand its facility; staff said Northwestern approved the easement arrangement.","actionData","errors"]
