Clay County plans ribbon-cutting, move to new law enforcement building; 911 lines to transfer temporarily
Summary
The county reported plans for an open house and ribbon-cutting in October, a move-in around the 13th, and a temporary 911-line transfer to Yankton County during the migration of communications services.
County staff told commissioners they plan an open house and ribbon-cutting for the new law enforcement building in October and described a staged move that will include a temporary transfer of 911 lines to Yankton County while systems are switched.
Staff said the open house is intended to start at 2 p.m., with tours and a ribbon-cutting event around 4 p.m.; the ribbon-cutting and short remarks would be followed by additional tours. The county intends to secure the new facility and move operations, including telephone systems, and staff suggested a target for physically transitioning phone lines and locking the old building around the 13th (no month specified in the transcript).
The transcript records that the county will transfer 911 lines to Yankton County temporarily, then move operations to the new building and transfer 911 services back once the county’s system is running at the new site. Staff emphasized the number of people and vendors involved in the telecommunications migration and said they plan to work through the transition over a week that includes the purported move date.
Officials said routine office numbers should remain the same and that a change-of-address order and new signage will be prepared to inform the public about the move. They also discussed staging occupancy and post-move public tours once the facility is secured and operational.
The commission heard the update as informational; no formal vote was recorded on the building schedule or the communications plan.
