Buffalo County commissioners discuss 911 services but take no action
Summary
At a special meeting Aug. 2, 2024, the Buffalo County Board of Commissioners discussed county 911 services but did not adopt any policy or formal action; the board approved the agenda and adjourned, scheduling the next meeting for Aug. 6.
Chairman Dawn Cable called a special meeting of the Buffalo County Board of Commissioners to order at 1:00 a.m. Aug. 2 at the Buffalo County Courthouse in Gann Valley. Commissioners Rex Zastrow and Vice-Chair Donita Loudner were present. Also attending were Buffalo County State's Attorney Dave Larson, Emergency Manager Tommy Thompson, DOE/Weed Supervisor Lee Sinkie, Assistant Emergency Manager Wes Wulff and Sheriff Wayne Willman; several officials joined by phone, including SD State Coordinator Jason Husby and Auditor/ROD Debra Morrison.
The board discussed Buffalo County 911 services. The transcript records a discussion of existing 911 arrangements and questions about the service, but it also records that "no action was taken" during the special meeting, meaning the commission did not vote on or adopt any changes to 911 operations at this session.
Earlier in the meeting Vice-Chair Donita Loudner moved to accept the agenda; Commissioner Rex Zastrow seconded and the motion carried with all voting Ayes. The board set its next meeting for Aug. 6, 2024, at 1:00 p.m. At the conclusion of the special meeting Commissioner Rex Zastrow moved to adjourn; Donita Loudner seconded and the motion carried with all voting Ayes.
The special meeting record does not list specific proposals, dollar amounts, or formal directives related to 911 operations; those details were not specified in the transcript. The commission is scheduled to reconvene on Aug. 6, when the topic could be placed back on the agenda.
