County approves down payment for joint command-post trailer using Homeland Security funds

Codington County Board of Commissioners · August 26, 2026

Summary

Emergency management told commissioners a Team Lodge trailer will replace an outdated 2004 unit; Homeland Security awarded $75,000 and commissioners approved a $15,834.14 down payment to begin construction, with remaining costs shared by participating departments.

Emergency Management Director Andrew Delgado described a multiagency project to build a joint command-post trailer to improve on a 2004 unit the county rarely used. Delgado said the county received a $75,000 Homeland Security award for the trailer; the total cost is $79,170.72 and Team Lodge requires a $15,834.14 down payment to begin the build. Delgado said the grant will reimburse $75,000 and the remaining balance would be split among four participating entities (about $1,042.68 per department).

Commissioners asked about radios and whether existing communications equipment would be repurposed; Delgado said some radios would be transferred into the new trailer and that final invoices will be submitted for reimbursement from Homeland Security once construction concludes. The board voted to authorize the down payment so work can proceed.
