Treasurer: Peggy Dougherty informed the Commission the cost for the County to hire Titles of Dakota to perform search on parcels. Peggy explained that by hiring Titles of Dakota it is a safety net for Clerk of Court, Register of Deed, Director of Equalization and Treasurer Office. Those employees could miss something when trying to research information on complicated property for the County, whereas Titles of Dakota perform such tasks daily and know what they are searching for.

Annie Brokenleg – Juvenile Diversion Coordinator: Annie Brokenleg informed the Commission of a new program, Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative (JDAI). There are seven JDAI sites in South Dakota, they are planning to establish a site in the Hughes/Stanley County area.

Annie explained that a Grant will cover one full time employee for three years, so there will not be any upfront cost to the County’s for the first three years. JDAI is hoping to have the new position start in June 2022. A representative from JDAI, Hughes County Commission Board and Stanley County Commission Board will be the work force committee.

The OHA facilitates an entire schedule of youth hockey through high school hockey, as well as conduct open skate on weekends. From April 1 thru October 1, the Expo Center hosted fourteen separate community vents, on occasion, these events coincided with events at the Stanley County Fairgrounds.

Shane informed the Commission that the parking lot was refurbished in August and was completed in a timely manner, and new emergency exit and flood lights we installed.

Shane has already been taking bookings for the 2022 season and is working with the Stanley County Fairgrounds Manager to ensure a successful year for all involved.

Shane and the Fort Pierre Chamber of Commerce look forward to the upcoming year with great excitement and optimism.
