Commissioner Barth reported that the clock on the north side of the clock tower is not working and a repairman is expected to come and repair it in the near future. OLD BUSINESS Commissioners discussed a letter received from Lois Hanson, 413 Nelson Lane, Brandon, SD, in regard to the notice for public comment on the proposed naming of a stream located in Red Rock Township in Minnehaha County. In the letter Ms. Nelson states that the creek has been known as “Lone Creek” and she also submitted an account of a flood event where a five year old boy lost his life while attempting to cross the creek in a buggy with his mother and year and a half old brother on June 10, 1914. Ms. Hanson suggests formally naming the creek “Lone Creek” or possible naming it after Arvid Anderson, the boy who lost his life in the flood event and his mother Annie Anderson, or the heroes that rescued Annie and her younger son. Commissioner Heiberger stated that we should check with the museum archives to get more details on the event. Commissioner Pekas stated that Bruce Blake should be contacted in regard to the possible placement of a historical marker at this site. Robert Wilson, Assistant Commission Administrative Officer, reported that he has forwarded the letter from Lois Hanson to the U.S. Board of Geographic Names and that he has sent a thank you letter to Lois Hanson for comments. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Pekas, to adjourn into Executive Session for personnel and litigation. 5 ayes. The Commission adjourned until 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, August 13, 2013.
