Fairgrounds: Scott Deal informed the Commission of improvement goals, including the parking lot west of the Grandstand; sound system for the arenas; panels, stall fronts, chutes and panels to finish behind the crows nest and the stalls in the barns. The quotes received for these improvements total $395,000.00. Scott received a quote for all the electrical updates, but it is too high, he will get quotes from other contractors.
Scott is searching for a grant to help with the agricultural aspect of the fairgrounds. He received a signed contract from Horse Nation Indian Relay, 20 teams with 6 horses per team, for 5 days. The Bellamy Brothers will perform July 27, 2019. BLM is bringing in 50 head of horses and burros for adoption. Scott has not heard anything regarding the horse races.
SDDOT – Highway 14/34, Hayes Paving: Motion by Sonny Harrowa, second by Mike Kenzy, to accept and approve Chairman Iversen to sign Joint Powers Agreement. All voted Aye. Motion Carried.
Highway Department: Lee Smith presented the Commissioners with a report of the work completed by the highway department for the month of February, which entails a lot of snow and ice removal, as well as service and maintenance on the equipment and trucks. They are trying to keep up with the snow removal, everything is full. Lee has talked with his department about using the push-Cat, but they would like to hold off if possible, as fences will end up being torn out.
Soil Stabilization is the permanent physical and chemical alteration of soils and aggregates to enhance their engineering properties, thus improving the load bearing capacity of a sub-grade or sub-base to support pavements and foundations. Louisa Construction contacted Lee regarding Cut Across Road. They feel this would improve the road, it will hold the road together but it is not a dust control. The Highway Department would haul in gravel, then the construction contractor would water it, pack it and apply the stabilizing agents. The Commissioners would like to see a finished road before they make a decision.
Lee and Commissioner Harrowa attended the annual Weed & Pest Conference.
Upcoming Workshops: Oahe District Meeting, County Commissioner, New Officials and Welfare Official Workshop and County Highway Short-Course Conference, Courthouse Security Meeting

Discussion: Chairman Iversen informed the Commission that per Legislative Audits, the County needs to transfer funds from the General Unassigned Fund Balance to other Fund Balances. Auditor Burtch would like to transfer funds into Fire Fighting Fund as the County budget for fire fighting exceeds the mill levee, Emergency Management & Disaster Fund as there isn’t a mill levee and the funds need to come from General Fund, and Courthouse Building Fund since the County purchased the new highway shop, that Fund balance is low.
With the purchase of the new highway shop, the County will need to purchase new fuel tanks. And, before the County sells the old highway shop property, the old fuel tanks need to be removed and the area needs to be cleaned. The Commission discussed options for selling the property, sealed bids or auction.
Adjournment: Motion by Craig Heller, second by Mike Kenzy, to adjourn at 7:26 P.M. All voted Aye. Motion Carried.
