County meeting approves two rezones at SD Highway 46, signs contracts and tables jail lease
Summary
Clay County officials approved two ordinances to rezone land on South Dakota Highway 46, authorized several contracts (meal service, fuel, parking lease) and tabled consideration of a city jail/law‑enforcement lease to the next meeting; the items passed by voice vote or roll call where recorded.
Clay County officials approved two ordinance rezones for property at approximately 46925 South Dakota Highway 46 during a regular meeting and moved forward on several contracts and support letters while tabling a proposed city jail and law‑enforcement lease to a future meeting.
The commission voted, by roll call where recorded, to rezone a parcel at the address from A‑1 agricultural to rural residential to allow about 17 residential lots, and separately approved rezoning adjacent lots from A‑1 to commercial to allow office use. Roll calls for the residential rezone recorded four 'yes' votes (Martha, Brady, Geezy and Gilbert) and the motion carried; the related commercial rezone was also approved by recorded 'yes' votes. The second readings for both proposed ordinances were conducted during the meeting.
Beyond the rezones, the commission approved a letter of support for a 4‑H and fair grant application after minor name corrections, authorized a meal service contract, and approved awarding fuel to the lowest bidder. The fuel procurement was announced with Brunix identified as the lowest bid at $2.53 per gallon. The board also approved a garage/parking space lease for a county tenant at $200 per month on a 12‑month arrangement.
A proposed lease for a city jail and law‑enforcement center appeared on the agenda but, because several members said they were not prepared and the document appeared to be a draft originating from another county, the commission moved and unanimously voted to table that item to the next meeting for further staff review.
