By Karen Bricks Feb 10, 2026 | 3:03 PM

The Walworth County Commission passed a motion to sign a contract with the Edmunds County Jail during their meeting on Tuesday (Feb. 10th).

Members of the recent jail study committee were at the commission meeting to share information on their findings.  Dan Heil talked about savings to the County in  the contract with Edmunds County.

Heil told the Commissioners that Walworth County is in a unique situation.

Heil wants to see the County continue to work with neighboring counties.

 

Also during Tuesday’s meeting the commissioners:

  • Acknowledged and signed the annual review of open meeting laws;
  • Signed the intergovernmental contract with South Dakota Public Assurance Alliance;
  • Set board appointments;
  • Held land lease auctions;
