POLICY COMMITTEE

“We had a rough go with district meetings this year,” said  SDML Executive Director David Riess, “but I can’t think of a  better way to end district meeting season than here in Hecla  with this friendly group.”

The District 6 was originally scheduled for March 21, but had  to be rescheduled due to winter weather prohibiting travel on  that date. Riess commended the City of Helca staff for being  able to regroup and host on an alternate date, “especially  since it ended up being nearly two months later,” he said.

The meeting also saw the election of representatives for the  district. Rick Boschee, Mayor of Bowdle, was re-elected as  District 6 Chair and Brian Bahr, Councilmember from Groton,  was elected as Vice Chair. As the district chair, Boschee will  act as a contact for and represent their district as a member  of the SDML Board of Directors. Duties began immediately. In other business, those attending voted to hold the 2024  District 6 Meeting in Groton. The dates and locations for all  of the 2024 district meetings are expected to be approved at  the June 14 SDML Board of Directors Meeting in Yankton. ■
