Summary

John Keyes presented requests to transfer three right‑of‑way parcels adjacent to US16B in east Rapid City; the Commission approved a resolution (RESOLUTION #2026‑2.1). The minutes record a discrepancy between the requested city and the city named in the motion.

John Keyes, Program Manager for the Office of Right of Way, asked the Commission to approve by resolution transfers of the State's interest in three right‑of‑way parcels (Lot H4, Lot H5, Lot H1) along Concourse Drive adjacent to US16B in east Rapid City. Keyes said Rapid City Region staff recommend the transfers because the properties are no longer needed for highway purposes and the transfers satisfy Agreement #612770 between the City of Rapid City and the Department.

The motion to approve the transfer was recorded as made by Rick Vallery and seconded by Jaf Karim; the minutes state the motion approved the transfer and that RESOLUTION #2026‑2.1 was adopted. The minutes also include a text inconsistency: Keyes requested transfer to the City of Rapid City, while the motion text in the record references the City of Hot Springs. The Commission adopted the resolution; the minutes provide the resolution number. (See audit for the segment discrepancy and source text.)
