Action on Resolution 19-039, a Resolution Establishing the Complete Count Committee for the 2020
Census for the City of Brookings, South Dakota.
Summary:
This Resolution will create a Complete Count Committee for the City of Brookings to assist in
activities leading up to the 2020 Census count.
Background:
The U.S. Census Bureau is required by the U.S. Constitution to complete an accurate count of the
population every 10 years. Federal and state funding is allocated to communities and decisions are
made on matters of national, state, and local importance based, in part, on census data.
As part of the 2010 Census, the City of Brookings established a Complete Count Committee by
resolution in early 2009. The committee appointments were completed by early Fall 2009 and the
committee official held their first meeting on January 19, 2010. The committee met weekly for the
first month and then switched to bi-monthly meetings through the end of March. The committee
worked on various educational and marketing materials to encourage and promote census activities.
The committee consisted of members from various segments of the Brookings population as well as
partnered with Brookings County on coordination of census activities.
In addition, a Mayoral proclamation was issued on March 15, 2010 proclaiming the week of March 15
through 21, 2010 as Brookings Census Week.
Fiscal Impact:
$5,000
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of Resolution 19-039 establishing a 2020 Complete Count Committee.

Avenue Phase I Reconstruction Project; Timmons Construction, Inc.
Summary:
This project is the 22nd Avenue Reconstruction Project between Minnesota Drive and Eastbrook Drive
which includes full reconstruction to widen the current roadway and sidewalks.
Change Order No. 1 includes several items that have been added to the project. During the early
stages of the project, it was determined that additional traffic control signs and barricades were
needed to increase the safety and ease of traffic through the 22nd Avenue detour. Brookings
Municipal Utilities also found that a sanitary sewer manhole needed replacement and BMU will pay
for the cost of the manhole. The contractor and engineering consultant recommend adding geotextile
fabric to stabilize the subgrade over the shallow gas lines, telephone duct lines, and variable
subgrade material. The total cost of these items in this change order is an increase of $44,476.10 to
the contract.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval of the resolution to approve the change order.

Change Order No. 1 for the 2019-04STI, 22nd Avenue Phase
I Reconstruction Project, Timmons Construction, Inc.
Person(s) Responsible: Jackie Lanning, City Engineer
Summary:
This resolution will approve Change Order No. 1 for the 2019-04STI 22nd Avenue Phase
I Reconstruction Project for the addition of traffic control signage and barricades,
replacing a sanitary sewer manhole and installing geotextile fabric to stabilize the
subgrade for an increase of $44,476.10 to the contract.
Background:
This project is the 22nd Avenue Reconstruction Project between Minnesota Drive and
Eastbrook Drive. The project includes full reconstruction to widen the current roadway
for 11’-wide driving lanes, new 5’-wide concrete sidewalk on one side of the street, 8’-
wide concrete shared use path on the other side of the street, replacement of
underground utilities, traffic signal upgrades and new street lighting.
During the early stages of the project, it was determined that additional traffic control
signs and barricades were needed to increase the safety and ease of traffic through the
22nd Avenue detour. Brookings Municipal Utilities also found that a sanitary sewer
manhole needed replacement and BMU will pay for the cost of the manhole. The
contractor and engineering consultant recommend adding geotextile fabric to stabilize
the subgrade over the shallow gas lines, telephone duct lines and variable subgrade
material. The total cost of these items in this change order is an increase of $44,476.10
to the contract.
Discussion:
Staff and the consulting engineers discussed the need for the change order and the
associated costs. Staff agrees that the traffic control signs and barricades were needed
to improve traffic flow through the detour area. Brookings Municipal Utilities agreed that
the sanitary sewer manhole replacement was necessary. In addition, staff agrees that
the geotextile fabric will improve the stabilization of the subgrade over shallow utilities
and create a consistent base over the existing variable subgrade material.
The change order summary is as follows:
Original Contract Price:$2,835,903.50
Change from Previously Approved Change Orders:$0.00
Contract Price Prior to this Change Order: $2,835,903.50

City Council Agenda Memo
From:Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Council Meeting:April 23, 2019
Subject:Rental Dwelling Unit Ordinance Amendments
Person(s) Responsible: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary:
Staff is proposing amendments to the Rental Dwelling Unit ordinance. The proposed
changes consist of a compilation of existing ordinances and including them within the
rental dwelling unit section of the municipal ordinances, thus strengthening the rental
inspection program.
Background:
At the February 27, 2018 City Council Meeting, Council Member Bacon requested the
rental housing inspection program be discussed at a future City Council meeting. On
June 12, 2018, the City Council discussed the rental housing inspection program and
the desire to expand the inspection program to include more items related to the safety
of the structure and the occupants.
Staff compiled research from other peer university communities with rental program
inspections. The four peer communities selected were chosen based upon the
feedback provided to the City Manager and staff from council members on areas of
interest in expanding the rental inspection program. Attached in your packet is the Peer
Community Research Comparison chart which shows the current regulations in
Brookings, suggestions as of December 4, 2018, staff recommendations as of March 1,
2019, and staff’s final recommendations as of March 13, 2019. Staff held various
meetings with interested parties, including a small group meeting in December with
property managers, a meeting with international tenants in February, three meetings
with tenants in February, and a large group meeting with property managers/owners in
early March. Staff discussed feedback provided at each of the meetings and revised
the recommendations based upon the merits of the discussion.
Discussion:
A majority of the recommended changes to the Rental Dwelling Unit ordinance are
contained in other sections of the City of Brookings Municipal Code of Ordinances.
However, due to the language not being specifically listed in the Rental Dwelling Unit
section of the code, staff is unable to withhold a rental license. Staff does have the
ability to still enforce the other sections of the municipal code, however, it is done
through a different process. Compiling the codes and adding them to the Rental
Dwelling Unit ordinances re-emphasizes the importance of the code requirements and
places a greater emphasis on correcting the violation in a timely manner as the rental
license is withheld until such time as the issue is resolved.
Section 22-373 would add language requiring the agent to be present during the
inspection. Staff feels it is important for the agent to be present during an inspection in
the event that there is any violation, that the agent clearly understand what the issue is
and where it is located and the necessary remedies to correct the issue.
Section 22-405 provides for a re-inspection fee. Currently, there is not a re-inspection
fee associated with the rental licensing program. If a re-inspection is necessary due to
a failed first inspection, the property manager will schedule a re-inspection with staff. If
staff re-inspects the property and violations still exist, then further inspections are
scheduled until such time as compliance with the ordinance is achieved. Staff has had
to perform multiple inspections on properties due to the violations not being corrected.
Adding the suggested language is anticipated to minimize the number of re-inspections
and thus allowing staff to be more efficient.
Section 22-432 adds responsibility on the occupant of a dwelling unit to not disable any
required smoke detectors. The most common violation encountered during a rental
inspection is smoke detectors not working or disabled. The property managers are
aware of the ordinance requirements for smoke detectors and are not going into
individual units and disabling the smoke detectors. This proposed language allows the
City to hold tenants responsible for disabling the smoke detectors.
Section 22-432(2)(c) adds language requiring escape or rescue windows to be free of
any cracks or defects. This language is already in Property Maintenance and Nuisance
ordinances of the City of Brookings, however, currently staff is not allowed to withhold a
rental license for this issue due to it not being within the rental dwelling unit section of
the municipal code. The language would allow the timely resolution of the issue as the
rental license would remain in a pending status until the deficiency is corrected.
Section 22-436 is new language requiring carbon monoxide alarms in rental dwellings
which contain fuel-fired appliances and/or attached garages. This language is already
in the Building Code, however, a rental license cannot be withheld at this time if not in
compliance.
Section 22-437 pertains to lighting and electrical systems. The suggested language is
currently in the Building Code, however, due to it not being included in the Rental
Dwelling Unit ordinances, staff would not be able to withhold a rental license. In
addition, based upon feedback during property manager meetings, staff is proposing as
a compromise, a graduation period whereby rental units can continue to be licensed,
however, by January 1, 2022, the GFCI outlets would need to be installed.
Section 22-438 pertains to the storage of combustible materials. This language is
included in the current City of Brookings Fire Code, however, we feel it is important to
include the language in the Rental Dwelling Unit ordinances as staff observe many
instances in which combustible materials are in close proximity to sources of ignition.
Section 22-439 requires rental dwelling units to be provided with properly installed and
working locks on entry doors. This requirement for multi-family properties would be the
entry doors to the individual units and not the exterior entry door to common hallways,
etc. This language is currently in the building code and would make a rental license
contingent upon satisfying this requirement.
Section 22-440 will require handrails and spindles installed in accordance the City of
Brookings Building Code. Provides the ability to withhold a rental license until handrails
and spindles are installed or fixed.
Section 22-441 pertains to numbering of units. This is also a current requirement of the
City of Brookings Building Code, however, provides the ability to withhold a rental
license until compliance is obtained. The numbering of units allows for proper
addressing and locating of units.
Section 22-422 will require all bathrooms containing a shower or tub to provide
ventilation through either an openable window or a mechanical ventilation system. A
grace period of January 1, 2022 to obtain compliance is proposed. Proper ventilation
helps address moisture issues in bathrooms.
