Separate policies pertain to employees, members of the public Written By: Marcus Traxler | ×
The Davison County Commission has created a policy that bars employees from bringing pets to work.
The commission voted unanimously to support the plan, and a similar resolution was passed replicating the policy for members of the public in county buildings, as well.
The issue came up when the commissioners said there are Davison County employees who are violating the proposed rules in recent weeks by bringing animals to the workplace.
“I think it makes sense,” Davison County Commissioner John Claggett said on March 30. “We need to stem the tide on this issue.”

The Davison County Commission unanimously approved a memorandum of understanding with Sanborn County during its meeting on Tuesday. Sanborn County, which had been contracting with Beadle County for veterans services, will pay Davison County $7,500 annually for the work. The Sanborn County Commission approved approaching Davison during a meeting last week.
