Denver Air Connection to replace SkyWest as commercial air service provider at Pierre and Watertown airports

Again, come June 1, 2021, half of Pierre’s flights to Denver will be shared with Watertown, despite city officials from both towns being happy with the service provided by SkyWest. Watertown mayor Sarah Caron says they will ask US DOT to reconsider its EAS provider choice for the two towns. As the contract holder, the USDOT has its own review process to determine if an airline will be selected to serve an EAS community. When awarded an EAS contract, commercial airlines receive a federal subsidy to make air service affordable in remote communities like Pierre and Watertown. The two-year contract with Denver Air Connection will begin June 1, 2021. SkyWest will continue to provide commercial air service until then.

Initial sales tax figures show online shopping a major force in South Dakota

After years of estimates, the last four months have provided additional insight on just how much sales tax revenue South Dakota cities gain from online purchases. Sales tax for those transactions hasn t always been collected, but that changed in mid-2018 when the U.S. Supreme Court decided businesses that didn t have a physical location in a state could still be required to pay sales tax. That paved the way for South Dakota to enforce a related law passed in 2017. With it, the state can require companies to pay sales tax if they had at least 200 business transactions a year from South Dakota or sales of at least $100,000 from South Dakotans. That started in November 2018.

Council approves replacing broken air unit at wellness center

A broken dehumidification unit at Prairie Lakes Wellness Center proved to be a source of great consternation among Watertown City Council members Monday night. Before unanimously approving replacing the unit for $58,491, several council members, along with Parks, Recreation and Forestry Director Terry Kelly and Maintenance Supervisor John Small, voiced frustration about a broken unit at a city-owned facility that’s not even four years old. According to city documents, a recent preventative maintenance inspection revealed the unit had a hole that caused a mixture of fluids and led to a catastrophic failure of the entire unit. “They found a leak in the refrigerant circuit which caused water to leak into the whole system. It just was a domino effect,” Small said, adding that huge pieces of the unit were ruined. “It’s about the worst scenario we could fathom to have.”
