SIOUX FALLS – In the case of a public nuisance violation, the Minnehaha County State’s Attorney received the go-ahead to commence a civil action against Kim and Victoria Halverson of rural Hartford.
That authority was granted by the county commission at the Tuesday, May 27 meeting after two years of attempts to gain access to the Halversons’ property at 23645 463rd Ave., as explained in the resolution.
In August of 2023, the commission declared the Halversons in violation of the county’s public nuisance ordinance after neighbors complained, and the Halversons failed to clean up their property of burned down buildings, “loads” of discarded HVAC equipment, and other problems, according to previous stories in the Gazette.
These problems went back to the summer of 2022 and before when commissioners gave the Halversons the chance to abate the problems on their own before the county acted.
