  "bodyMd": "the City of Madison lists [**Board of Commissioners Meeting**](https://madisonsd.portal.civicclerk.com/event/485/overview) for Aug. 4, 2025 on its public meeting portal.\n\nThe portal files this entry under the category City Commission. That is the city's own classification, reproduced as published; 605Buzz does not sort these listings itself.\n\nThe portal gives the time as 17:30 on Aug. 4, 2025, printed exactly as published.\n\nThe portal marks that time UTC, and it is not: the city's own records contradict the mark, because the plain-English posting time the portal prints for this meeting's agenda states the same clock reading as the machine-readable field that claims to be UTC. The time above is therefore the local wall clock the city published, reproduced without conversion.\n\nThe portal is currently offering 2 documents for this entry, named here exactly as the city named them:\n\n- Agenda · 8/4/2025 City Commission Meeting Agenda · posted July 31, 2025\n- Agenda Packet · 8/4/2025 City Commission Agenda Packet · posted July 31, 2025\n\n605Buzz does not summarise those documents. Follow the link above to read them at the city's own page.\n\nThe city's agenda for this meeting lists 23 numbered items. 605Buzz reproduces 22 of them below, exactly as the city wrote them; the other 1 name a party or a location and are not reproduced here.\n\n- 1\\) Minutes – July 21, 2025\n- 2\\) Special Meeting Minutes - July 22, 2025\n- 3\\) Bills for Approval – August 6, 2025\n- 4\\) Bills for Ratification – July 30, 2025\n- 5\\) Payroll Bills for Ratification – July 18, 2025\n- 6\\) Personnel\n- 7\\) Set Bid Date: Bid \\#983 - Green Substation Site Grading\n- 8\\) Set Bid Date: Bid \\#985 - Green Substation Major Materials\n- 9\\) Discuss scheduling of future municipal elections\n- 10\\) Discussion and action to approve appointment to City Commission vacancy\n- 11\\) Oath of Office of incoming City Commissioner\n- 12\\) Approve Ordinance No. 1681 Amend Appropriation Ordinance No. 1672\n- 13\\) Approve Resolution No. 2025-14 Unassign General and Enterprise Fund Balances to Align with Audit and Statutory Guidance\n- 14\\) Approve Resolution No. 2025-15 Amending The City’s Rate Structure, Providing For A Surcharge For Improvements To The Sewer System Egan Avenue, For Payment Of A Revenue Borrower Bond and Yearly Review of Rate\n- 15\\) Approve Resolution No. 2025-18 Amending The City’s Rate Structure, Providing For a Surcharge For Improvements To The Water System Egan Avenue\n- 16\\) Approve Resolution No. 2025-17 Amending Resolution No. 2024-21 - Approval of Egan Avenue Drinking Water Improvements, Bonding, and SRF Financing\n- 17\\) Approve Resolution No. 2025-16 Giving Approval To The Issuance And Sale Of Electric Project Revenue Bonds\n- 18\\) Authorize Signature on Grant Application - MDS-GLG-3-46-0029-028-2025 – Madison Municipal Airport\n- 20\\) August 2025 City Updates PUBLIC COMMENT\n- 21\\) National Night Out - Tuesday, August 5, 2025 from 5-9 pm\n- 22\\) Next Regular Commission Meeting – Monday, August 18, 2025 at 5:30 pm\n- 23\\) Pursuant to SDCL 1-25-2\\(4\\)\n\n605Buzz reproduces the numbered item lines from that file and nothing else. Lines the city labels Petitioner, Property Owner, Location or Staff Report are not reproduced here, and neither is a street address; the agenda packet is not read at all. Where an item names a person — an official presenting it, or a resident being appointed to something — that name is part of the item the city wrote, and it stands as written. The text is the plain-text rendering the city's own portal returns for that file. Nothing above is a summary, and an item on an agenda is something a body may consider rather than something it did.\n\nThis article records only that the city's portal lists this meeting. It is not a record of what any meeting decided, it does not state that a meeting took place, and no outcome, vote or decision is implied. Nothing in any agenda, packet or minutes document is summarised here.\n\nMeetings are cancelled, rescheduled and re-noticed, and the portal publishes no field for any of that. Where the city has said so, it says so inside the listing's own title, quoted above exactly as published — and where it has not, 605Buzz cannot report a cancellation the city has not stated, and does not infer one from a missing document. Check [the city's own page for this meeting](https://madisonsd.portal.civicclerk.com/event/485/overview) before relying on anything here.\n\nThis article was assembled from [the City of Madison's public agendas and minutes page](https://www.cityofmadisonsd.gov/362/Agendas-Minutes).",
