Director’s Notes

The Legislative Session will only have a couple weeks left once you receive this, but believe me, the last days are the LONGEST days. At this writing, we have made good progress on many of the League’s goals, but the final results won’t be in until the 13th .

We are looking forward to seeing you all as we visit the District Meeting communities of New Effington, Madison, Yankton, Dallas, St. Lawrence, Ipswich, Akaska, Kadoka, Custer, and Sturgis. We sincerely find great events and sites in each town we go to, and we really wish this opportunity to “leave the beaten path” were something all of our citizens and visitors could have. Affiliate groups are active this time of year, with meetings scheduled for the Municipal Electric SuperintendentForeman Conference March 3-4; Building Officials ICC Seminar March 24 (Rapid City) and 26 (Sioux Falls); Street Maintenance Association meeting April 15-16; Police Chiefs’ Association and Sheriffs’ Joint Meeting April 22-24; and Code Enforcement Workshop May 6-7. Plans are also well underway for the annual Finance Officers’ School and Human Resource School. Please go to www.sdmunicipalleague.org for all the dates, agendas, and details so you can get these excellent training opportunities on your calendar.

We hope to see many of you at District Meetings, but until then, remember we are always available at 1-800-6583633 or yvonne@sdmunicipalleague.org.
