City approves ordinance,
heating system for shop
~ by Ronda Dennis ~
The Kadoka City Council held a
special meeting Monday, September
24. Council members Micki
Word and Brad Jorgensen were absent.
The council held the second
reading of the 2013 Budget Appropriation
Ordinance. A motion carried
to approve the ordinance as
presented.
A new heating system at the city
shop was again discussed. It was
noted that the wiring and trenching
was included in the price
quotes. The total bill is $5,680. A
motion carried to transfer that
amount from the contingency fund
to the street department building
improvement fund.
There was discussion on the
baseball field improvements, including
the quotes for materials for
bleachers, dugouts and a new
fence. At this time. there are no
plans to work on the concession
stand or the crows nest.
According to the finance officer,
there is money in the budget to
help with the project. She said materials
need to be purchased this
year. In addition to the city, Horizons
and the Kadoka American Legion
may be helping with funding.
Jackie Stilwell presented a review
of the expenses, revenue and
water loss for the years 2010 and
2011, which showed there was a
water loss in the amount of
$24,804. It was noted that an increase
of 50¢ per 1,000 gallons
would have made the water fund
account break even for the past
two-year period.
The council will review the information
and discussion will continue
at another meeting.
The fire alarm system, through
West Plains Engineering, for the
Kadoka City Auditorium was discussed.
The project will come in
under the biddable amount, which
is $50,000. The cost, estimated to
be approximately $27,000, for the
installation and other issues will be
discussed at the next meeting.
The City of Kadoka received correspondence
from West Central
Electric, stating they had reviewed
the small and large commercial
rates and have found that Kadoka
has two, three-phase accounts
which need to be changed. The
change rate will be approximately
$7 to $10 per month for the softball
field and the auditorium.
At last month’s city council
meeting is was decided to leave the
regular meeting for October on the
the 8th, which is Columbus Day.
However, since then, the school has
scheduled a public hearing to discuss
a possible building project of a
gym. The city changed their next
meeting date to Tuesday, October 9
at 7:00 p.m.
