The Harrisburg City Council's Aug. 18 agenda includes a $1.84 million bid for the 272nd Street paving project and a first reading to rezone about 16 acres from agriculture to general business. The Planning Commission, Board of Adjustment, and Library Board also met during the past two weeks, but all meetings were agenda-only; minutes have not yet been published, so no decisions have been confirmed.

No specific rezoning, conditional use permit, or ordinance amendment items were listed for public hearing.
Library Board (Aug. 13)
The Library Board's agenda included adoption of the consent agenda, public comment, a financial report for June 2026, a director's report for August 2026, a programming update, a review of Chapter 9 of the SDSL Public Library Trustee Handbook, and an update on an ALA Libraries Transforming Communities grant.
