HURON –– The Beadle County Commission discussed the upcoming annual township meeting date during the regular meeting on Tuesday morning. After some discussion, the meeting was set for Tuesday, February 10, at 7 p.m. at the highway building.
The commission opened the meeting talking with highway supervisor Jason Fritzsche. Fritzsche presented right-of-way agreements for an upcoming structure repair contract. He also presented municipal agreements with Cavour and Wessington to clear snow in those towns as needed. Fritzsche also presented the supply bid for approval. This was set for Feb. 19, at 11 a.m.
