The Charles Mix County Board of Commissioners approved three drainage permits at its Sept. 25 regular meeting in Lake Andes.
The board approved Drainage Permit 2025‑05 for Derrick Scott covering the SE 1/4 of Section 3, Township 97N Range 66W (Jackson Township, near 372nd Avenue and 286th Street), and Drainage Permit 2025‑06 for David Scott covering the SE 1/4 of Section 33, Township 98N Range 66W (Rhoda Township, near 371st Avenue and 285th Street). The minutes record that both public hearings opened with no protest and that motions to approve each permit carried.

Chairman Colin Soukup moved to approve the permit and Vice Chairman Nick Stotz seconded; the board approved the permit despite the protest, according to the minutes.
The approvals allow the applicants to proceed under county-approved drainage plans. The minutes do not record conditions attached to the permits or any required follow-up inspections.
The commission’s action on drainage permits is a routine regulatory matter affecting local landowners and nearby roadways.
