The commission unanimously approved the consent calendar on June 2, 2026, which included personnel actions (new hires and seasonal staff), the appointment of Vona Johnson to the Housing & Redevelopment Commission, and routine claims including large vendor payments.
The City of Pierre approved its consent calendar by unanimous vote on June 2, 2026.
