Summary
The Kingsbury County Board approved a list of vendor claims Jan. 20, 2026, including a $155,489.07 payment to the South Dakota Department of Revenue for motor-vehicle collections and a $38,444 workers' compensation payment to SDML; the Auditor was directed to issue warrants.
The Kingsbury County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously Jan. 20 to approve the claims presented for payment and directed the County Auditor to issue warrant checks.
The claims list included a $155,489.07 payment to the South Dakota Department of Revenue described as "MV" and a $38,444.00 payment to the South Dakota Municipal League for workers' compensation insurance. The record also notes large vendor items such as $12,230.43 for Independent Upfitters (sheriff equipment) and $4,432.95 to Badger Oil Company for highway fuel. "Motion by Nelson, second by Spilde that the following claims presented to the Board for consideration be approved and the County Auditor be directed to issue warrant checks for payment of same," the meeting minutes record; all present voted aye.
The approved claims cover highway repairs and supplies, law-enforcement equipment, health-lab services, and routine county operations. No separate discussion or challenge to individual claims is recorded in the minutes. The approval formalizes payment of obligations already presented by the Auditor's office and clears the county to proceed with issuing the corresponding checks.
