The Dell Rapids City Council voted June 16 to approve annual renewals of on/off‑sale malt beverage and South Dakota farm wine licenses for several local establishments and granted a one‑day special liquor license for the Quarry Days street dance scheduled for June 28.

Claire, the city's licensing staff, told the council that all paperwork and fees had been received for the renewals. "All paperwork and fees have been received, and I recommend approval," Claire said, listing JMMA Park Inc. doing business as "T and C" (self‑serve), Dolgen Midwest LLC doing business as Dollar General, GL Management LLC at Rocky Round Golf Course, and others.

There were no public comments during the public hearing on the on/off‑sale malt beverage renewals; the hearing was opened and closed with no speakers. A council member moved to approve the renewals; the motion was seconded and carried.

On a separate public hearing, staff recommended a one‑day special liquor license to allow alcohol service on Fourth Street during the Quarry Days street dance on Saturday, June 28. Claire said the applicants had coordinated with the Dell Rapids Chamber of Commerce, the official host of Quarry Days. "The request to serve alcohol on Fourth Street on Quarry Days on Saturday, June 28, and the applicants have coordinated this with the Chamber of Commerce, the official host of Quarry Days. I recommend approval," Claire said.

Chuck Jones moved to grant the one‑day license and Roosink seconded; the council voted in favor. The council recorded no public opposition during the hearings.

Staff noted that special‑event applicants had submitted the required public notice and fees; the council did not place special conditions on the one‑day license in the transcript and did not record a roll‑call vote in the meeting record presented.

Council members briefly discussed whether the batch of renewals could be handled together as routine licenses; staff confirmed they were routine renewals and required no separate resolutions.
