  "bodyMd": "the City of Madison lists [**Board of Commissioners Meeting**](https://madisonsd.portal.civicclerk.com/event/685/overview) for Jan. 20, 2026 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 Jan. 20, 2026, 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 · 1/20/2026 City Commission Agenda · posted Jan. 16, 2026\n- Agenda Packet · 1/20/2026 City Commission Agenda Packet · posted Jan. 16, 2026\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 17 numbered items, reproduced below exactly as the city wrote them:\n\n- 1\\) Minutes – January 5, 2026\n- 2\\) Bills for Approval – January 21, 2026\n- 3\\) Bills for Ratification – January 14, 2026\n- 4\\) Payroll Bills for Ratification – January 2, 2026\n- 5\\) Personnel\n- 6\\) Approve 2026 Employee Wages\n- 7\\) Acknowledge 2026 Tapping and Meter Fees and 2026 Service Fees\n- 8\\) Approve Memorandum of Understanding with Almost Home Canine Rescue \\(AHCR\\)\n- 9\\) Approve Project Skills Work Experience Agreement with Madison Central School District\n- 10\\) Approve Advertisement and Set Bid Date - Bid No. 988 - Green Substation Construction - February 19, 2026\n- 11\\) Public Hearing Upon Application for a Temporary Retail \\(on-sale\\) Alcohol License - Sporty's Bar & Grill - Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Event - January 24, 2026\n- 12\\) Consider Approval of Temporary Retail \\(on-sale\\) Alcohol License - Sporty's Bar & Grill - Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation Event - January 24, 2026\n- 13\\) Approve First Reading of Ordinance No. 1685 - Amend Appendix B - Zoning Section 17.02\n- 14\\) Monthly Finance Update\n- 15\\) Next Regular Commission Meeting – Monday, February 2nd, 2026 at 12:00 pm\n- 16\\) State of the City Address - Monday, January 26, 2026 at 5:30 pm\n- 17\\) Date to begin circulation of petitions for City Commission is Monday, February 2nd, 2026. Deadline to file petitions is Tuesday, March 24th, 2026 at 5 PM.\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/685/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).",
