The Deuel County Board of Commissioners on Feb. 17, 2026, adopted Resolution #26-05 establishing seasonal weight-limit enforcement on county highways, approved a plat and passed a package of routine financial and administrative items.
Resolution #26-05, presented by Highway Superintendent Jamie Broksieck, sets weight limits at seven tons per axle on asphalt roads when load-limit signs are posted and requests enforcement by the South Dakota Highway Patrol. The resolution references penalties under SDCL 32-22-55. The board approved the resolution on a roll-call vote with all five commissioners voting yes.
The board also approved a plat titled "PLAT OF LOT 1B OF RYMERSON FARM SECOND ADDITION" and adopted Resolution #26-06 to formalize that action. Zoning Officer Jodi Theisen presented the plat; the motion passed unanimously.
Other approvals included a $4,100 purchase to replace a failed fuel-probe leak detection sensor for the county's 10,000-gallon fuel system, a 3% across-the-board increase to township contract machine rates to align with CPI, and approval of an Invenergy haul-road agreement with pre- and post-project inspection by Banner Associates. The board granted $1,000 in annual support funds to the Deubrook Community Library and $200 to Goodwin Senior Citizens.
A travel request for Commissioner Jay Grabow to travel to Pierre failed on roll-call (recorded votes: Judith Homan: yes; Harry Mewherter: yes; Scott Fieber: no; Steve Rhody: no; motion failed). The board approved payment of warrants and transmittals as presented and accepted an Intergovernmental Contract with the South Dakota Public Assurance Alliance.
Commissioners also approved a $2,932 Twotrees Technology quote for computers in the auditor's office and authorized the Applied Digital townhall meeting on Feb. 25, 2026, in Clear Lake as an official public meeting so all commissioners may attend.
The meeting adjourned after routine business. Detailed warrants and vendor claims were recorded in the minutes.
