SOLID WASTE PERMIT
Mason Steffen, Planner, presented a request for a Solid Waste Permit #23-02 for the purpose of a rubble site on the property legally described as the N1/2 NW1/4 (Ex. H-1 & R-1) Section 34-T101N-R51W, Wall Lake Township. The site for the tree grinding operation is located approximately a half mile east of the 267th Street and 463rd Avenue intersection. The site plan and related documents indicate that the east four-hundred and fifty feet of this seventy-nine acre property will be used as part of this operation. The solid waste ordnance also states that a solid waste permit must be obtained by the operator of a rubble site, prior to operations beginning on the property. The County Commission has heard and approved a conditional use permit application for this tree grinding operation, which included a condition of approval that required a solid waste permit to be obtained prior to the beginning of operations. The Planning Staff has been in contact with the State Department of Agriculture & Natural Resources and the State has explained that they do not require a state license for this type of solid waste facility due to the fact that the petitioner is only allowed to accept clean, untreated, unpainted, and unstained wood. MOTION by Beninga, seconded by Karsky, to approve Solid Waste Permit #23-02 for a rubble site on the property legally described as the N½ NW¼ (Ex. H-1 & R-1) of Section 34-T101N-R51W. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

BRIEFING
Tom Greco, Commission Administrative Officer, provided an informational briefing on the revised limited public use policy. The Minnehaha County building exists to accommodate the business of the county government and the citizens of Minnehaha County. While Minnehaha County appreciates those citizens who wish to take an active role in government decisions at all levels, the county buildings must accommodate many people every day without any unnecessary delay or inconvenience. Following a legal challenge, portions of the current Limited Public Use Policy have been enjoined by the Court and have not been enforced following the Court's order. Following a review of the Court's order and the necessity to provide reasonable access to the Minnehaha County Administration Building including, without limitation, those with mobility disabilities, a revised Limited Use Policy has been drafted. The revised policy eliminates the previous 'designated area' and creates a 'non-interference zone' which includes the handicap accessible curb ramp at the west entrance of the Administration Building.

Notice is hereby given that the records and books of account of the Municipality of Garretson, South Dakota, have been audited by Schoenfish & Co., Inc., Certified Public Accountants of Parkston, South Dakota for the two years ended December 31, 2021. A detailed report thereon, containing additional information, is filed with the Municipality of Garretson and the Department of Legislative Audit in Pierre, South Dakota for public
The following findings and recommendations referred to in the report are hereby listed in accordance with the provisions of SDCL 4-11-12.
CURRENT AUDIT FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Finding:
A material weakness in internal controls was noted due to a lack of proper segregation of duties for revenues. This has been a continuing audit finding since 2001.
Recommendation:
1. We recommend that the municipal officials be cognizant of the lack of segregation of duties for the receipts, disbursements, and payroll functions and attempt to provide compensating internal controls whenever and wherever possible and practical.
Management's Response:
The Municipality of Garretson Mayor, Greg Beaner, is the contact person responsible for the response for this comment. This comment is due to the expertise of staff and the size of the Municipality of Garretson, which precludes staffing at a level sufficient to provide an ideal environment for internal controls. We are aware of this problem and are attempting to provide compensating controls.
Finding:
Material weaknesses were noted in internal accounting control and record keeping resulting in diminished assurance that transactions were properly executed and recorded and that assets were properly safeguarded. This has been a continuing audit finding since 2017.
Recommendations:
1. We recommend that financial information be more accurately presented.
2. We recommend that all necessary accounting records be established and properly maintained.
Management's Response:
The Municipality of Garretson Mayor, Greg Beaner, is the contact person responsible for the response for this comment. We will attempt to be more accurate and complete when preparing the financial statements and obtain sufficient expertise to do so.
Finding:
Expenditures were in excess of the amounts budgeted in the Second Penny Sales Tax Special Revenue Fund and several departments in the General Fund and Liquor, Lodging and Dining Sales Tax Fund in 2021. Expenditures were also in excess of the amounts budgeted in the Liquor, Lodging and Dining Sales Tax Fund and one department in the Second Penny Sales Tax Fund in 2020. In addition, the Liquor, Lodging and Dining Sales Tax Fund was budgeted to spend more than available in 2021. This has been a continuing audit finding since 2013.
Recommendation:
4. We recommend that budgets be adopted in accordance with SDCL 9-21-9 and that the expenditures be limited to amounts budgeted or budget supplements be made in accordance with SDCL 9-21-7 and SDCL 9-21-6.1 to allow for expenditures.
Management's Response:
The Municipality of Garretson Mayor, Greg Beaner, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this comment. The Municipality will be more careful to follow the budgetary guidelines prescribed by law.
Finding:
The Municipality of Garretson has committed several violations of laws. This has been a continuing audit finding since 2020.
Recommendation:
5. We recommend that all laws and regulations be followed by the Municipality.
Management's Response:
The Municipality of Garretson Mayor, Greg Beaner, is the contact person responsible for the corrective action plan for this comment. We will follow all laws and regulations and gain proper education to become aware of the current laws.
