Former mayor Scott Fiegen and his wife Teri were recognized for their years of service to the city of Dell Rapids by the Dell Rapids City Council during the regular meeting on Monday, October 17th.
Mayor Tom Earley said, “We want to express our appreciation and our best wishes to Scott and Teri as they enter a new venture with their move to Sioux Falls.”

“Many people voice concerns, but few take steps to be involved to see if they can make a difference. Scott you can certainly be proud of your work and your accomplishments that have greatly helped make Dell Rapids the community it is today. Your willingness to work with others, to listen to all sides of an issue, to look for the right way to accomplish a goal, these skills and values have directly benefitted our community and the people who chose to make Dell Rapids their home. This city council is a better council today because of your guidance and your leadership since 2001. Thank you for your service to Dell Rapids,” stated Mayor Earley.
Teri was also recognized by Mayor Earley for the many years on the board of the Dell Rapids Society for Historical Preservation, work on documenting information about the Dell Rapids and St Mary cemeteries, restoring the markers that identify the veterans in the cemetery, as well as providing educational and entertaining tours of the cemeteries.
