The City of Yankton and COVID planning and the Yankton School Board sets out its budget planning.

The Yankton City Commission will meet on Tuesday of next week due to the Memorial Day holiday.

The commission had passed an ordinance in April that shut down many businesses and limited public gatherings due to the spread of the coronavirus. That ordinance was suspended after Governor Kristi Noem issued her “Back to Normal” plan. The ordinance had a sunset clause which commissioners will discuss on Tuesday.
