At Tuesday’s (April 22nd) Walworth County Commission meeting, Brooke Karst had a request for a special liquor license to hold a dance at the tennis court in Hoven in June in memory of her brother Travis. Funds raised will go to agricultural scholarships for seniors. The commission approved the request with no charge on the license.
Landfill
Commissioner Duane Mohr had the monthly report on the Walworth County Landfill.
Also for the landfill, the commissioners passed a motion to approve advertising for bids on the storage building.
Walworth County Clean-Up Days will be Monday, May 12th through Saturday, May 17th. There will be ads in the newspapers.
Emergency Manager
Walworth County Emergency Manager Jeff Jensen updated the commissioners on the State radio issue. He said the State wants the County to secure a location site for a tower and pay the lease fees, so they are closer to finding a solution.
Jensen also brought the County drone to the meeting and talked about its programming and software.
Also for Emergency Management, the commissioners passed a motion to sign a contract with the Edge Event Center in Mobridge to host an IMAT team exercise May 20th through the 22nd. There will be no fees charged because it’s a public safety event.
The Wildfire Division Designee Resolution that was approved in January was signed, with the change of Commissioner Randy Carlson’s name being added.
