Young Russian leaders to learn about U.S. governance, environmental management
BROOKINGS, S.D. – Six young Russian leaders will visit Brookings and surrounding areas June 22-
30 to learn about accountable governance and environmental management during a U.S. Congress-
backed, Open World Program. The visitors will give public presentations about their home life and
experience at 5:15 p.m. Thursday, June 28, in the new Brookings City and County Government
Center.
The South Dakota World Affairs Council is orchestrating the visit with collaboration from
Brookings city government, the Chamber of Commerce, Brookings Economic Development
Corporation, South Dakota State University, local businesses and nonprofit organizations.
The group will also visit sites in Watertown and Pipestone, Minn.
During their stay, the Russian guests are being housed with local families in Brookings to experience
American lifestyle and activities.
Open World, a nonpartisan initiative of Congress that began as a pilot program in 1999, has since
brought over 17,000 Eurasians to communities across the U.S. to experience American democracy
at the local level. The program is managed by the independent Open World Leadership Center at
the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
For the second year SDWAC has planned a full experience for Russian and area residents. Russian
delegates will first learn about U.S. democracy and state and local governance from SDSU
professors. They will also meet and exchange information with area civic and community leaders
throughout their visit.
Tours of McCrory Gardens, South Dakota Art Museum, Children’s Museum of South Dakota,
Brookings Farmer’s Market and Boys & Girls Club of Brookings will show examples of public and
private cooperation. The group also plans to visit Watertown to see exotic and domestic animal
care at the Bramble Park Zoo and talk with regional, environmental conservation group leaders.
A trip to the Pipestone National Monument in Pipestone, Minn., will demonstrate preservation of
an indigenous site with its ecology that is governed by the National Park Service.
The visitors’ experiences will end with climbing the 165-foot SDSU Coughlin Campanile, touring
and taking part in activity at the SDSU Community Wellness Center.
More information about the Open World visit or the South Dakota World Affairs Council can be
obtained from Harriet Swedlund at 605-688-5416 or at Harriet.Swedlund@sdstate.edu. Information
about the Open World program is available at www.openworld.gov .

THE OPEN WORLD PROGRAM
Open World is an exchange program funded through the United States Congress to bring delegates
from Russia and other participating Eurasian countries to cities around the United States for a series of
meetings and presentations designed to enhance understanding and capabilities for cooperation between
the United States and the countries of Eurasia. The intent is to develop a network of leaders in the
region who have gained significant, firsthand exposure to America’s democratic, accountable
government and its free-market system.
The South Dakota World Affairs Council has been chosen to facilitate an Open World delegation June
22-30, 2012 in cooperation with the Open World Leadership Center in Washington, D.C. This is the
second year, SDWAC and the Brookings community has been selected to host a delegation. In 2012,
six Russian participants are coming for a professional program with the themes Accountable
Governance – Environmental Management. The individuals range in age from 21-34. Five are women;
one is a man. One is the “facilitator” who is fluent in English. Four of the five visitors state that they
speak conversational English. For the professional program, a local interpreter will be with the group so
the guests can hear in Russian the information we provide.
Please read the following information to determine how you might contribute as a program presenter,
tour guide, or host in the community wide effort that promotes an international perspective in this
region. Delegate profiles are available along with a copy of the host family form if you wish to volunteer
for that facet of the visit.
The goals of the program are to:
• Enhance understanding and cooperation between Americans and their counterparts from Russia
and the former Soviet Union
• Create a two-way learning street
• Create ongoing partnerships
• Achieve tangible results
Consequently, presentations that integrate and balance governance with issues and concerns about the
environment seem to be appropriate. An underlying theme is the variety of cooperative arrangements
for the good of the whole between federal, state, county and city government with voluntary and non-
governmental, non-profit, and privately enterprise organizations. Group presentations, tours, and
individual appointments will be included on the itinerary. It is expected that each visitor will want to
learn some things specific to their specialties. On Wednesday, June 27, the visitors will present a free
program for the public at the Brookings Public Library, Cooper Room at 5:30 p.m. in which they will
share information about themselves and their country.
An additional component of their visit is home stays with host families who can introduce the guests to
the lifestyle and culture of the community. The delegates arrive in Sioux Falls Friday afternoon, June 22,
and will meet their hosts at a reception with community leaders at the SDSU Tompkins Alumni Center.
Visitors will spend the weekend engaged in activities with their host families. They depart on Saturday
morning, June 30.
For each individual or group, I will discuss the particular interest or emphasis I have identified and
suggest ways you and your organization can contribute. Thank you for being a part of this community
effort.

SOUTH DAKOTA WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL HISTORY
The official organizational meeting for South Dakota World Affairs Council (then known as the South
Dakota Council for World Affairs) was March 19, 2004. This meeting followed preliminary planning
begun in 2002 under the guidance of South Dakota State University President Emeritus Peggy Miller to
establish a Council in South Dakota affiliated with the World Affairs Councils of America. Individuals at
the first meeting agreed to be active members from that day forward. Most attendees at the March
meeting became members of the Board of Directors.
Initially, SDWAC was funded primarily by South Dakota State University with the stipulation that the
organization become self supporting. Programs were focused at the University community, both faculty
and students, with the understanding that SDWAC had an obligation to support SDSU’s mission to
provide students with education that “prepares them to live and work in a diverse and global and
society.”
March 15, 2011, SDWAC was approved officially by the Internal Revenue Service as a public charity
under 501(c)(3) of the code enabling the organization to accept memberships and donations that are tax
deductible to contributors. As a non-profit organization, SDWAC will continue to receive some funds
and in-kind support from South Dakota State University, but will operate more independently.
Purposes of SDWAC found in Article II of the Bylaws are:
The Council is formed as a South Dakota Nonprofit Corporation exclusively for educational purposes within the
meaning of Section 501 (c) (3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 and specifically for the purpose of
providing information on world affairs to the citizens of South Dakota. It seeks to stimulate interest in and
promote discussion of international relations and U.S. foreign policy, and takes no stand on current issues. Its
objective is to help individual citizens make up their own minds on issues of foreign government. The Council
shall promote study and public education on world affairs and culture, particularly through the encouragement of
informed and intelligent discussion, and shall facilitate cooperation among organizations or groups having similar
aims. World affairs shall be taken to include all aspects of the relations among people of the world.
During the academic year, 2004-05, Dr. Allen Branum and Dr. Nels Granholm organized two meetings
for members and potential members. A Board of Directors was formed to advise the facilitators.
Dr. Allen Branum developed Bylaws that were presented to the Board for review process prior to final
approval by the Board in 2006. Some revisions to the Bylaws have been made in response to
experience with practices described in the original format. This includes a change in the organization’s
name from South Dakota Council on World Affairs to South Dakota World Affairs Council.
In the summer of 2005, Harriet Swedlund was invited and agreed asked to take responsibility for
arrangements for speaking engagements. In December 2005, she was approved by the Board to act as
Executive Director with responsibility for planning and facilitating the structure and programs that
support the organization’s mission.
Under guidance from the Board, programs offered by SDWAC in years 2006 through 2012 increased in
sophistication, number and audience participation. SDWAC collaborates in a variety of ways with
approximately 25 organizations to deliver a range of programs and reach diverse audiences. Through
the connections with WACA, grants from non-profit organizations have enabled SDWAC to expand its
program opportunities and to connect people in this region with other organizations engaged in similar
missions. Particularly significant collaborations have included those with the Turkish Cultural
119
Foundation, the Stanley Foundation, Korea Economic Institute, and the South Dakota Humanities
Council as well as South Dakota State University units.
In 2012, more than 67 individual, family and corporate members are listed. Their contributions support
some of the Council’s activities.
From the beginning, the organization has aspired to expand programs and influence state-wide beyond
the campus and Brookings’ city limits. Examples include the six-year relationship with the Turkish
Cultural Foundation through which a total of 23 South Dakota teachers from 12 cities have participated
in subsidized travel to Turkey. Programs have been recorded and speakers interviewed for airing on
South Dakota Public Radio. In collaboration with the South Dakota Humanities Council, SDWAC
played a part in the Big Read – U.S. and Egypt program that was offered all across the state. For four
years, SDWAC has organized a symposium “Rising Powers.” Brazil (2009), India (2010), China (2011),
and Korea (2012) – countries with increasing influence in the global environment - been featured. This
program is held in Brookings but attracts people outside the community.
Participating in Open World in 2012 is a venture for SDWAC that fits the goals to promote
international relationships and to bring those connections to the region and state.
Guidelines for working with the Interpreter
The delegates have limited command of English. They are accompanied by interpreter, Irina
Goubanova, who will provide the Russian version of your statements and put the delegates
Russian responses into English. It takes roughly double the time for presenters who speak
English to have their statements interpreted in Russian. The same time will be needed for the
visitors to engage in dialogue requiring interpretation of Russian to English.
When addressing the delegates, speak clearly and in short sentences. After a few (one or two
depending on the length) sentences, allow time for interpretation before continuing. Avoid the
use of jargon and slang that can be easily misunderstood.

11. Ordinance No. 18-12: an Ordinance amending the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Brookings and pertaining to a
microbrewery as a permitted special use in certain business and
industrial districts for the purposes of Administration of the
Zoning Ordinance.
Public Hearing: July 10, 2012
**No vote is taken on the first reading of an Ordinance. The title of the
Ordinance is read and the date for the public hearing is announced.
Proposal: Create a permitted special use (microbrewery) that was allowed previously
under the general use category of light processing.
Background: The brewing of specialty beers by local brew masters exploded in the
1980s. As a result, small breweries known as mini or micro breweries sprang up in
communities of all sizes. Brewpubs that combined brewing and dining also became
popular. We created regulations for brewpubs in 2010. A microbrewery also began
operating in Brookings at about that same time as a light processing use in an industrial
district.
Microbrewing has grown into a nation-wide industry. Many states and communities
regulate microbreweries through zoning and licensing. These regulations vary widely
depending upon how diversified a microbrewery becomes.
Specifics: One (1) business district and three (3) industrial districts have been proposed
for a microbrewery as a permitted special use. The standards are explained as follows:
All Districts: This is the industry standard for the annual maximum production for a
brewery to still be considered “micro”. The State requires a manufacturer’s license.
B-3 District: This would control aesthetic and rodent issues.
I Districts: c. This would allow the manufacturer to sell the product on-site. Some
communities regulate the containers size or the amount per person, per day that can be
purchased, or some combination thereof, but I don’t know how that could be
successfully monitored. Most do not allow for on-sale unless the microbrewery has
diversified into a tavern or restaurant.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 6 yes and 0 no to recommend
approval of the zoning amendments.

industrial districts.
(Cameron/DeKraai) Motion to approve the amendments. All present voted aye.
MOTION CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #5 – Hanson stated that a microbrewery was proposed as a specific use versus a light
processing operation due to how microbreweries were growing in popularity. The use would
be allowed as a permitted special use in order to attach appropriate standards. The standards
were slightly different between the B-3 Business District and the industrial districts due to
existing uses within those districts.

12. Ordinance No. 19-12: an Ordinance amending the Initial
Development Plan for the Planned Development District on Lot
G, Beale Addition (corner of 6th Street and 13th Avenue).
Public Hearing: July 10, 2012
**No vote is taken on the first reading of an Ordinance. The title of the
Ordinance is read and the date for the public hearing is announced.
Applicant: Gatzke Family Enterprises, LLC
Proposal: Modify several elements of an Initial Development Plan (IDP) approved in
2009.
Background: The information in the packet provides the Planned Development District
(PDD) history on this parcel. The IDP previously approved by the City Council is
currently in force. The developer never submitted a Final Development Plan.
Specifics: The last two pages show the revised IDP and a “conceptual only” view of a
possible exterior facade.
The major amendment is a result of the expansion of two (2) apartments on the second
floor of the current IDP to a stand-alone building with eight (8) apartments. These
would all be two (2) bedroom units.
The minor amendment regarding access drives would reestablish the dual access drive
off 13th Avenue and the exit only onto 6th Street. This design was favored by the
Planning Commission and the South Dakota Department of Transportation access
management guidelines in 2009.
The other minor amendment involves a change in the dimensions of the building
proposed on the original plan.
In regards to the modifications listed in Ordinance No. 02-09, additional landscaping is
shown on the new IDP. Also, detailed information on planned multi-tenant uses will be
presented with the Final Development Plan in order to verify that minimum parking
requirements are met. In addition, the developer has no interest in a drinking
establishment and, lastly, access to 6th Street would be by egress only.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 8 yes and 0 no to recommend
approval of the amended Initial Development Plan subject to the restrictions listed in
the ordinance.

The major amendment proposes an increase of 20% or more in the total density of the
development. The minor amendments propose a change in the number of access drives and
the dimensions of a building.
(Gregg/Heuton) Motion to approve the revised IDP as presented subject to the
prohibition of a “drinking establishment” use. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #4 – Brian Gatzke, owner of the property, stated there were several revisions to the
approved Initial Development Plan. The commercial building was smaller, there was a separate
apartment building on the site, additional landscaping was added and the access design met the
SDDOT guidelines for Highway 14.
Cameron asked about parking for the apartment. Gatzke replied that one tuck-under
garage was attached to each unit. Cameron asked if the parking shown on the plan was
sufficient for the proposed uses. Hanson responded that the Final Development Plan would
have that information.
Heuton asked if the sideyard setback for the apartment was ok. Hanson replied yes.
DeKraai asked if a traffic impact study was done. Hanson answered that the project’s size and
proximity to 6th Street did not warrant a study.

TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Jeff Weldon, City Manager
RE: Request from School District for “novelty” street name designation
Attached is a request from the Brookings School District for a “novelty” street name
designation of Eighth Street South from 22nd Avenue to Main Avenue to add a secondary street
name of “Bobcat Way.”
As the letter states, the purpose of the request is to provide better way-finding capabilities for
visitors to Brookings schools as well as improve a “school-community” connection.
At the suggestion of the City, the School has modified their request for the street name to be
“Bobcat Path” instead of “Bobcat Way.”
The name designation is a ‘novelty’ and does not have any official capacity since Eighth Street
will still be the official street name for legal, address, postal, and 911 emergency response
purposes. Signage for “Bobcat Path” will be added to the existing street identification posts.
Labor and material for the signs will be paid for by the School District and will be installed by
the City Street Department. We intend to have all the signs installed by the start of the new
school year. City Council approval is required of ‘novelty’ street names designations. Staff
recommends approval of the request.
