Summer has
arrived! The tourists are here, the weather is hot and we are all out in the
field working building permits…..right?
I just wanted to give you
all a little information on the executive board meeting that I attended in Fort
Pierre (the Pizza Ranch) on June 29. Several topics were discussed many of which
were talked about at conference. As school is fast approaching finalization of
the details needed to be made and it was decided that tuition would not go up
this year. It will remain at $250 for each attendee. Please remember that juice
and coffee will be provided in the mornings and assorted soft drinks in the
afternoon. A snack may be available but do not plan on it as your breakfast
meal. The IAAO instructor’s course was also discussed. The education committee
has decided to subsidize this course but no dollar amount was decided on as more
information needed to be gathered by all involved. Rownea gave us a few
suggestions for updates on the blue book (which is the executive board
handbook). Her suggestions were all accepted along with a couple given by other
members of the board. Lori and Colleen had a couple of suggestions to streamline
the treasurers’ system. It was also discussed and decided that SDAAO will not
have any registered lobbyists this year from our Legislative Committee. It was
decided we should take a step back for the year and act only as an advisor if
asked to do so.
Other topics were discussed
and decided on so please read the full minutes of the executive board meeting if
you would like to know them. They can be found on this website under SDAAO
Committee and Board Members then to Executive Board and General Meeting Minutes.
Once again I urge you all to
utilize the website. It is a great tool for all of us.
Have a great day.

With Black bear sightings in the news, thought I would send a picture of the
bears I encountered while re-appraising Spearfish Canyon. Along with the bears,
I’ve included some Model T’s at Cheyenne Crossing and views from a cabin’s deck
that sits above Savoy.
 
 
We are busy trying to finish up field work so we can just work
on inputting information during the rally. We have our noon “cook off” during
the rally, as it takes SOOOO long to get around, it is just not worth it to try
to get anywhere.
As for anything happening – we are still watching work progress “Slowly” on
the Slime Plant next door, but the new Deadwood Rec Center is complete, and it
is a nice addition for us – as they give county employees who want to use it a
great discount.
Hope everyone is enjoying there summer, (now that it is finally here!) and
getting a lot done. I also want to thank Tony and all his helpers for putting on
a good conference. After missing last year, it was great seeing everyone again.
