Pierre City Commission To Meet For Brief Agenda
PIERRE, (KCCR) — There is not much for the Pierre City Commission to consider during tonight’s weekly meeting of the group. Beyond the consent calendar, only a single item is on the agenda for Commissioners to consider action on. The consent calendar carries much more but given the nature of the items on the calendar, they are generally approved as one item, however items can be removed for further consideration. The calendar includes meeting minutes from the previous meeting, claim approval, setting a public hearing for August 13th for Pierre Players for a malt beverage and wine and cider license application, three new hires for the golf course, police and wastewater departments and a volunteer firefighter application. The lone action item for the Commission is a change order and pay request from Morris Incorporated for work on the Highway 34 Water Main Loop project. Commissioners will also present any dialogue they may have. The Pierre City Commission meets tonight at the Pierre Municipal Building at 5:30 pm.
