Commission approves landfill joint‑powers amendment, safety committee, plats and several property‑bid actions
Summary
The commission approved the 11th amendment to the landfill joint‑powers agreement (contingent on partner sign-offs and noting a $2,132,000 loan and $568,000 grant), created a county safety committee, approved four plats, authorized a $20 wheel-tax refund, accepted a Timberland Drive bid with redevelopment conditions and abated taxes, and rejected and re‑advertised a Walnut Street tax-deed bid.
During routine business on June 16, the Yankton County Commission approved several administrative items and property decisions.
Amy Leon (speaker 11) asked the commission to approve the 11th amendment to the joint-powers agreement governing the regional landfill and transfer station; she said Vermillion awarded the low construction bid to Lyle Construction of Sioux Falls and that the project had secured a state revolving loan ($2,132,000 at about 3.5% for 10 years) and a $568,000 grant, contingent on all four parties’ agreement. Commissioner (speaker 6) moved approval and the board approved the amendment by voice vote.
The commission also adopted a safety committee for county employees (led by emergency management) with two‑year terms and initial quarterly meetings. Planning staff presented and the board approved four plats with conditions noted in the record (including a restriction prohibiting residential dwellings on one ag-business plat).
On tax-deed property actions, commissioners accepted the higher cash bid for 2403 Timberland Drive on the condition that it be redeveloped with a residential house within three years, moved to abate the remaining taxes on that property, and rejected the Walnut Street bid pending clarification of city special assessments and directed staff to republish. The Whiting Street property had no bids and the board directed republishing after city clarification. The commission also approved refunding $20 of a wheel tax to a resident whose refund had been shorted.
Other routine items approved included advertising for a planning and zoning development services director and resolutions for legislative requests (resolutions passed as presented; one member recorded a 'no' on one vote).
