Montrose tables campground firewood sales; approves bathhouse exterior painting
Summary
The council deferred a plan to sell firewood at the city-owned campground because a wood-storage plan and budget supplement were not in the 2026 budget; the council did approve exterior-only painting of the campground bathhouse for spring 2026 (Action 25-160).
Finance Officer Nicole Siemonsma told the council that selling firewood at the city-owned campground would require the city to collect state and city taxes and report to the South Dakota Department of Revenue via the Campspot point-of-sale system, but the city lacks a wood-storage plan and had not budgeted the expense for 2026. The council elected to table firewood sales until 2027 budget discussions.
Council approved a separate request for the finance officer to paint the campground bathhouse exterior in spring 2026 (Action 25-160). The finance officer said the campground repairs budget contains room for the painting expense.
