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 steadily worked toward the League’s goals, although admittedly our agenda, given the election year, wasn’t as aggressive as in some past years.

We are looking forward to seeing you all as we visit the District Meeting communities of Webster, Huron, Harrisburg, Geddes, Wessington Springs, Roscoe, Selby, Ft. Pierre, Wall and Deadwood. We find such great events and sites in each town we go to, 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 Superintendent and Foreman Conference March 6-7; Building Officials ICC Code Officials Institute ProgramApril 3 and 5; Street MaintenanceAssociation meeting April 23-24; Police Chiefs’ Association and Sheriffs’ Joint Meeting April 17-19; and Code Enforcement Workshop May 9-10. 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 1-800658-3633 or yvonne@sdmunicipalleague.org.
