Details

  • Ordinance 56-26, "An ordinance of the City of Sioux Falls, SD, approving a lease of City real property" (sponsor: Mayor). Moved by Spellerberg, seconded by Basye; roll call 8-0.
  • Resolution 76-26, a resolution of intent to enter into a lease of municipal real property, required by SDCL 9-12-5.2 for any lease of City property to a private person for more than 120 days and more than $500 annual value. Moved by Sigette, seconded by Spellerberg; roll call 8-0. The resolution recites that notice of hearing was published in the official newspaper at least ten days beforehand.

  • This appears to be a different lease from the one at City Real Property Lease (first reading October 14, 2026); the minutes do not tie them together.
