Summary
Brookings County finance staff reported $1,204,471 in wind-tower revenue apportioned in April (35% county, 15% townships, 50% schools), and said the county processed 556 absentee registrations for the upcoming primary. Staff also noted a new electronic scanning process to speed title transfers.
Finance staff reported that April wind-tower revenue receipts totaled $1,204,471; per county practice, the distribution is 35% to the county, 15% to townships that host turbines and 50% to schools in affected districts.
Finance staff also said the county implemented a new scanning process with the state to speed motor-vehicle title transfers and reported 556 absentee voters registered for the primary as of 05:00 on the previous day. The finance office said it expects the scanning workflow to slow local processing briefly while staff learn the new system, but overall turnaround should improve when fully adopted.
Commissioners had no questions beyond the report; staff noted the revenue was apportioned in April as part of regular distributions.
