Codington County commissioners approve routine permits, hires and grant application
Summary
At their Feb. 3 meeting, the Codington County Commissioners approved two one‑day alcohol permits for weddings at the Extension Center, a personnel hire, a homeland security grant application and several routine administrative items.
Codington County commissioners approved a sliver of routine business at their Feb. 3 meeting, voting to allow two one‑day alcohol transfers for weddings at the county Extension Center, authorize a personnel hire, and grant staff permission to apply for homeland security funding.
The board approved an alcohol permit for Austin Applehoff, who told commissioners he is "getting married on June 6, the Extension Building," and said the vendor CloudNine would provide the liquor license. Commissioners likewise approved a Sept. 25 permit tied to Mary Stromp and a CloudNine transfer.
Why it matters: one‑day alcohol permits and booking revenue are recurring revenue and facility‑use issues for the Extension Center; commissioners regularly approve these requests as part of event permitting.
Other approvals included a personnel action to hire Charlie Dally as a Facilities Tech 1 with an effective date of Feb. 9; the item was presented in the personnel packet and approved by voice vote. The personnel memo lists the position as Grade 20, Step A and shows an hourly figure as printed in the packet ("2196 an hour" in the record); the packet should be consulted for the authoritative hourly rate.
The board also voted to allow staff to apply for homeland security grant funding; staff noted the application window opened Feb. 2 and closes March 20. Commissioners approved the request by voice vote with no conditions reported at the meeting.
Commissioners heard a brief 4‑H report on farm show preparations and fundraising plans. 4‑H staff said the Watertown Winter Farm Show runs Feb. 11–14 and described shooting‑sports participation (air pistol and BB gun with about 38 youth, archery with 54). They announced a fundraising raffle to start March 3 after required filings and a 30‑day waiting period. The raffle details shared at the meeting: 1,000 tickets, $20 each or three for $50; purchasers must be 18 or older.
The meeting concluded after routine consent actions and a motion to enter executive session on contract issues; no final action on those contract matters was taken during the public session.
Next steps: items approved at the meeting will be reflected in the official minutes and any application filings (for the raffle or grant) will proceed through staff as indicated.
