Information on the spring flood outlook can be found on the National Weather Service Sioux Falls website. A link is available at www.minnehahacounty.org.
UPDATE
Robert Wilson, Assistant Commission Administrative Officer, briefed the Commission on proposed legislation affecting county government. He asked for direction on a request for county commissions to endorse SB 184, an act to revise certain provisions concerning the taxes imposed by water development districts and the formation of water development districts. The Commission was in consensus to remain neutral on this act.
OLD BUSINESS
Commissioners discussed the County Board of Equalization calendar.
Commissioner Barth announced that he would be absent for next week's meeting which includes the scheduled hearing to consider amendments to the Minnehaha County Drainage Ordinance. He explained that he strongly opposes the ordinance changes as constructed and requested that action on this issue be deferred, or that he be allowed to participate electronically. Commissioners noted that the time of the hearing has been published and that there have been many interested parties who would like to be present. Commissioner Twedt felt deferral should be a last resort and not done because of one commissioner's absence. Commissioner Kelly noted that the issue is not one that has to be solved next week. Commissioner Barth may participate by electronic means.
Commissioner Kelly commented on the placement of the screen at the podium as he is unable to see the information being presented on the screen. Commissioners discussed some of the update options being proposed for the meeting room.
NEW BUSINESS
Robert Wilson, Assistant Commission Administrative Officer, passed along a request from Ken McFarland, Commission Administrative Officer, who is in Pierre testifying on proposed legislation, asking if Mr. McFarland should testify on SB 130, an act to revise certain provisions concerning the township road system. Minnehaha County has opposed this legislation and the Commission concurred that Mr. McFarland should testify in opposition.
Commissioner Hajek announced that Commissioner Twedt will be meeting with members of the Multi-Cultural Center Board and will ask about a reduction in funding from the city of Sioux Falls as reported in the Argus Leader, and will bring that information back to the Commission.
Commissioner Hajek reported that the coroner committee met again last week and that they are moving forward on a plan that will work well for the County.
MOTION by Barth, seconded by Pekas to adjourn until 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, March 9, 2010. 5 ayes.

OLD BUSINESS
Commissioners discussed the County Board of Equalization calendar.
Commissioner Barth announced that he would be absent for next week's meeting which includes the scheduled hearing to consider amendments to the Minnehaha County Drainage Ordinance. He explained that he strongly opposes the ordinance changes as constructed and requested that action on this issue be deferred, or that he be allowed to participate electronically. Commissioners noted that the time of the hearing has been published and that there have been many interested parties who would like to be present. Commissioner Twedt felt deferral should be a last resort and not done because of one commissioner's absence. Commissioner Kelly noted that the issue is not one that has to be solved next week. Commissioner Barth may participate by electronic means.
Commissioner Kelly commented on the placement of the screen at the podium as he is unable to see the information being presented on the screen. Commissioners discussed some of the update options being proposed for the meeting room.
