Summary
At its July 15 special meeting, the Town of Chancellor Board of Trustees passed Resolution No. 07-15-2025 to transfer $14,500 from contingency to Public Works and held the first reading of Ordinance No. 07-15-2025 to adjust General Fund appropriations, with a second reading set for Aug. 12, 2025.
The Town of Chancellor Board of Trustees on July 15 approved a resolution transferring $14,500 from the contingency appropriation to the Public Works budget and took the first reading of a supplemental appropriations ordinance that reallocates general fund dollars among several departments.
Resolution No. 07-15-2025, signed as recorded by Board President Zachary Knock and Finance Officer Mindy Lafontaine, cites South Dakota Codified Laws section 9-21-6.1 as authority for making transfers from contingency appropriations and directs that $14,500 be moved to budget code 430, Public Works. The resolution text indicates it became effective immediately upon passage and adoption on July 15, 2025; the transcript includes the resolution language and signatures but does not record a roll-call vote tally in the meeting text.
Ordinance No. 07-15-2025 was introduced on first reading the same night. The ordinance would supplement appropriations in the General Fund by increasing Public Works (430) by $58,304 while reducing Financial Administration (414) by $5,804, Health and Welfare (440) by $2,500 and Culture and Parks (450) by $50,000, yielding a net zero change to total appropriations. The ordinance lists a second reading and potential adoption on Aug. 12, 2025, and an effective date of Sept. 1, 2025. The ordinance text and dates appear in the meeting materials presented at the special meeting.
The agenda recorded present officials including Board President Zachary Knock, Trustees Bailey Ludens and Jenni Bartmann, Finance Officer Mindy Lafontaine and Maintenance staff Casey Frazier. The meeting materials also state public-comment procedures and invite trustees to introduce topics for future meetings; no additional policy motions or vote tallies beyond the resolution language were recorded in the provided meeting text.
The board’s next regularly scheduled meeting is listed for Aug. 12, 2025, when the ordinance’s second reading and any formal adoption would be expected to occur.
