Friday service will be starting soon for the Dell Rapids Transit. The Dell Rapids City Council voted to add Friday service during their regular meeting on Monday, July 17th.
City Administrator Justin Weiland shared with the council that adding Friday service would cost the city an additional $5,800 annually. Weiland also mentioned that the extra cost could potentially be lowered based on a grant package the city might receive from the 5311 grant that the city submitted, but he cautioned the council to plan for the city to pay for the full additional costs. The additional cost for the city for 2017 would only be half of the total $5,800 by adding Friday at the start of school.
Councilman James Borchert motioned to approve adding Friday to the Dell Rapids City Transit service, and Councilman Mike Geraets seconded the motion. The motion was approved unanimously.
