Charles Mix County’s Board of Commissioners formally adopted the 1972 provisional budget on Sept. 14, 1971, setting appropriations and tax levies for county operations and special funds for the coming year.
The minutes record the adoption of a multi-fund budget that sets appropriations for General Fund operations, Road & Bridge, Care of the Poor, Weed Control, Mental Health, County Board of Education and other funds. The board followed statutory requirements (including the 5% deduction under SDCL 7-21-11) and published a provisional budget and notice before adoption. Commissioners voted to adopt the budget as amended (SEGs 579–686). The minutes include detailed line items, estimated cash balances, property-tax levies, and specific revenue sources such as motor-vehicle collections and gas-tax allocations.
Why it matters: The adopted budget establishes county spending limits, revenue sources and property tax levies for 1972; it governs hiring, capital projects and the county’s obligations for Federal-Aid matching and road maintenance.
What’s next: The board directed the county auditor and department heads to implement appropriations, continue required public posting and comply with statutory reporting. The minutes also note earlier supplemental budget adjustments adopted during 1971 for specific funds (recorded elsewhere in the year’s minutes) (SEGs 699–708).
