LANGFORD TRUSTEES MEET

LANGFORD TRUSTEES MEET

    The Langford Board of Trustees convened on Nov. 12 for its regular meeting. Finance Officer Kaitie Stiegelmeier informed the board that the town’s vision insurance policy through VSP will renew in February 2025 without a rate increase.
    Stiegelmeier also presented street banner designs submitted by two vendors, Performance Plus and Display Sales. The board favored Performance Plus due to its personalized design options, contrasting with the generic designs from Display Sales. A final decision on the banners will be made during the December meeting. 
    Additionally, the board reviewed charges on a specific account and opted not to make any adjustments to the outstanding balance. The total amount must be paid by the year-end deadline of Dec. 31, 2024.
    Utility Manager Sean Kramer reported that the town’s jetting operations have been running smoothly. Glacial Lakes Excavating recently completed work on applicable water curb stops, and a vendor is scheduled to begin crack sealing in the coming week.
    The board approved several items, including: A building permit for Michael and Sarah Swenson, Policy and Procedure #2024-001, which outlines prorating for residents’ first and/or final utility bills, a one-time tool reimbursement of $150 to Mitchell Wieser, and the purchase of water parts for a valve.
    The board also passed the second reading of the 2025 budget. Details of the budget are available in the public notices in this week’s paper. 
    The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 17, at 5 p.m. at the Langford Community Center.

Poll: REGIONS FOR AMBULANCE SERVICE? A legislative task force is considering a plan to organize South Dakota’s ambulance services into eight to 14 regions, potentially with state oversight and funding to help keep emergency medical services sustainable. The proposal comes as many ambulance services face financial challenges, low reimbursement rates and an aging, often volunteer workforce. Lawmakers say the goal is to ensure an ambulance can respond when someone calls 911, but establishing the regions and determining how they would be funded could take years. Do you support creating regional ambulance service systems with state oversight and potential state funding?
