Summary
The board approved the meeting agenda and minutes, adopted the 2026 provisional budget (Resolution 2025-13), approved a resolution canceling unclaimed checks (Resolution 2025-1414), approved search-and-rescue roster additions, and approved claims.
At its Sept. 23 meeting the Codington County Board of Commissioners recorded the following formal actions by voice vote (all motions carried when commissioners present answered “aye”):
- Approve Sept. 23 agenda. Motion by Commissioner McElhaney; second by Commissioner Schwer. Outcome: approved.
- Approve minutes for Sept. 16. Motion by Commissioner Johnson; second by Commissioner Gable. Outcome: approved.
- Adopt 2026 Codington County provisional budget and accompanying levy Resolution 2025-13 (as amended during the meeting to adjust the bond redemption fund and the capital-project allocation for the jail). Motion by Commissioner Gable; second by Commissioner McElhaney. Outcome: approved.
- Approve Resolution 2025-1414, cancelling unclaimed checks and warrants per SDCL 7-22-17; total remitted as unclaimed property reported in the meeting: $816.71. Motion by Commissioner Gable; second by Commissioner Schwer. Outcome: approved.
- Approve search-and-rescue team roster additions (Cheyenne Yerkovich and Jordan Nippling) to ensure insurance coverage. Motion by Commissioner McElhaney; second by Commissioner Gable. Outcome: approved.
- Approve claims for payment (multiple claim packets). The board took jail-specific claims first (geotechnical engineering and Moody's investor-services invoices), then approved additional routine claims submitted after the deadline (membership, communications, insurance, and others). Motions carried. The clerk read totals into the record; some amounts were presented verbally and are recorded in the claims packet maintained by the auditor.
- Adjourn. Motion by Commissioner Johnson; second by Commissioner McElhaney. Outcome: approved.
Where the transcript presented voice votes, the minutes record the actions as carried; no roll-call tallies with individual member votes were read into the record during the meeting.
