COMMISSIONER’S PROCEEDINGS

REGULAR SESSION

June 17, 2014

The Lyman County Commissioners met in regular session in the Conference Room in the Courthouse at Kennebec, South Dakota, June 17, 2014, at 8:30 a.m. with the following members present: Chairman Kim Halverson, Leroy Choal, Ryan Huffman, Steve Perry, Adam Ehlers and Auditor Pam Michalek.

CALL TO ORDER:

Chairman Halverson called the meeting to order with the pledge to the flag.

SHERIFF MANGER:

The SD Department of Emergency Management sent the 2014-2015 State and Local Agreement for approval or rejection. The State mandates have become more demanding and Sheriff Manger is not sure it is worth the $10,278.76 reimbursement the County receives. Manger will receive more information from the State and present it to the Commission at the next regularly scheduled meeting. A rough draft of the Pre-disaster Mitigation Plan was reviewed.

9:00 a.m. LOT SALE:

Triangular Lot (unofficially) described as: Starting in the NW¼ of Lot 11, Block 7, Pease Addition to Kennebec Town, hence East 150’, hence South approximately 55’ and then back to the point of beginning.

Chairman Halverson read the Notice of Sale to the four people in attendance. Rodney Mick voiced a bid of $215.00; there being no further bids Chairman Halverson sold the lot to Rodney Mick. Motion by Huffman, seconded by Ehlers to approve the sale. All voting aye.

9:00 a.m. HWY/WEED DEPT:

Supt. Long was present. Chairman Halverson declared the Weed Board in session. Supt. Long reported on the slow progress of weed spraying and mowing because of the rain and wind. A lot of the dirt roads cannot be bladed or sprayed until they dry out. He also reported that the thistles are worse than they have ever been but where they sprayed the milestone last year there are no thistles but new patches are abundant. Chairman Halverson adjourned the Weed Board.

Discussion was held about hiring part time help to do spraying and mowing resulting in a motion by Ehlers to allow Supt. Long to advertise and hire experienced workers for $13.50 per hour; inexperienced workers for $12.00 per hour with no benefits. Perry seconded the motion. All voting aye.
