⚠️ Emergency Alert 04-18-2026: NOTICE - APRIL MONTHLY MEETING IS RESCHEDULED TO THURSDAY APRIL 23 AT 6 P.M.

Government

The Town of Mission Hill consists of 3 trustees (board members).  Each trustee term is 3 years.  Terms are staggered so there is one seat up for election each year. If a trustee resigns from his/her position, the remaining board members will "appoint" a replacement to finish out the current year.  At the next election, petitions may be taken out to finish what is left of the original trustees term.  The Town Board President (Mayor) is elected by the board at the May monthly meeting each year.  

Depending on the date the board designates as election day, petitions are available for a set amount of time for candidates to take out and circulate for the position(s) available.  Petitions must be completed and returned by the deadline.  Notice of election, petition information, voter registration are all posted in the town's official newspaper "The Yankton County Observer"; posted at the town hall; and will be posted on the website.

The board meets once a month at the town hall on Washington Ave. (main street) at 5:30 p.m. (unless otherwise noted on the agenda).  Monthly meetings are the 3rd Monday of each month.

Garbage will only be picked up on the street side of a resident's home.  Garbage will not be collected in alleys or private drives.

Mission Hill conducts a citywide clean up once per year for residents to discard most any items they do not want.  The only items NOT accepted are tires at this time.

Normally the board designates a Saturday morning in May for the clean up.  Roll off containers are placed in front of the town hall for residents to bring their unwanted items.
