The Lyman County Commissioners met in regular session in the Conference Room in the Courthouse at Kennebec, South Dakota, February 17, 2015, at 9:00 a.m. with the following members present: Chairman Leroy Choal, Ryan Huffman, Steve Perry, Adam Ehlers, Kim Halverson and Auditor Pam Michalek.

CALL TO ORDER:

Chairman Choal called the meeting to order with the pledge to the flag.

JUDGE, STATES ATTORNEY & SHERIFF:

Circuit Judge Kathleen F. Trandahl, States Attorney Anita Fuoss and Sheriff Steve Manger met with the Commission to discuss the increased jail expenses for 2014. Judge Trandahl presented a copy of the Court’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Receipts & Disbursements for the 6th Circuit showing the money UJS has collected from July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. Judge Trandahl explained how the clientele appearing in court has changed in the last five years, with more drug related arrests indicating drug cartel involvement. The court is trying to speed up the judicial process by using ITV and when possible limiting continuations to one. States Attorney Fuoss and Sheriff Manger reiterated the Judge’s remarks and Sheriff Manger provided information about the synthetic drugs flowing into our county, especially in the middle school. The Commission, Judge, States Attorney and Sheriff would like the county to retain a portion of the drug money and vehicles seized in these drug arrests, as the state retains all at this time. The Commission thanked Judge Trandahl, States Attorney Fuoss and Sheriff Manger for their dedicated service and efforts to maintain a safe and secure environment for the citizens of Lyman County.

Sheriff Manger also informed the Commission that he is going to upgrade rifles and armor plating for his personnel.
