2. City of Brookings Five (5) Year Capital Improvement Plan.
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: City Manager Jeff Weldon
RE: Draft 2012-2016 Capital Improvement Program
As part of our annual budget process, we will update the Capital
Improvement Program (CIP). This document is a five-year planning tool
designed to itemize the intended year of purchase, cost, and revenue
stream for major expenditures. Such items include property acquisition,
heavy equipment, building and structural facilities, infrastructure, and major
mechanical items throughout all departments. The final CIP is approved
along with the annual operating budget. The emphasis is on the most
current year; in this case, 2012; with less specificity in succeeding out-years
to the fifth year. In many cases, the CIP for the later years serves as a
“placeholder” for some items with more latitude and flexibility on those
expenditures.
This document remains a “work in progress” as staff has gone through the
departments that have significant capital budgets, but for those departments
that have smaller capital budgets, we will develop those during the
operating budget process in the coming weeks. Before we go any further,
staff wanted to preview the CIP with the Council with an emphasis on 2012
and progressively less consideration on 2013-2016.
During the work session, we will go through each department‟s capital
expenditure program. No specific action is needed on the CIP as it remains
in draft form, but Council feedback on the prioritization of expenditures is
requested as we discuss them.

intersections of the areas south and east of SDSU was conducted by City Engineering intern

Contract Awards / Change Orders
7. Action on Resolution No. 69-11, a Resolution awarding contracts
for Sidewalk & Curb & Gutter Replacement Project (2011-
01SWR).
This project is the annual concrete project and entails construction of miscellaneous
concrete work in the 2011 sidewalk area which is the area east of Medary Avenue
between 6th Street and Orchard Drive. This project included repair of curb and gutter,
fillets, valley gutters, curb ramps and homeowner trip hazard sidewalks. Also included
with this project was concrete pavement repair on Railroad Street which was scheduled
in the 2011 budget as the second year of the 5-year repair plan. In addition, new valley
gutter is included on City property for the east/west drainage swale located between
Western Avenue and the pedestrian bridge east of Indian Hills Road.
The sidewalks included in this project are in the 2011 inspected area which is located
east of Medary Avenue between 6th Street and Orchard Drive. The sidewalks on this
project are different than the sidewalks discussed at the May 24th public hearing since
they are existing sidewalks that are creating a trip hazard. The property owners with
sidewalks that constitute a trip hazard were given the opportunity to replace the
sidewalks themselves or be added to the City project. The sidewalks included in this
project are those that were not completed by the deadline and those that requested to
be on the City project. After this project is complete, the cost of the sidewalk plus 6%
administration fee is assessed to the corresponding property owners.
The bid letting was held on Tuesday, June 07, 2011 and the City received the following
bids:
Timmons Construction, Inc., Brookings, SD $103,147.50
Concrete Contractors, Inc., Brookings, SD $120,730.00
Owens Enterprises, Inc., Brookings, SD $117,247.50
The low bid was approximately 34% lower than the engineer‟s estimate of $158,322.50.
In general, many of the items in the bid proposal were a lower cost than the 2010
prices. For example, the price for installation of 4” PCC sidewalk was $2.40 per square
foot in 2011 and was $3.50 per square foot in 2010. This results both in a cost savings
to the City and the property owners that are included in the sidewalk project.
Timmons Construction, Inc., has not bid on a City project, however they have
constructed concrete work in Windermere Addition and at SDSU. Recommend
awarding the contract to Timmons Construction, Inc., of Brookings, SD for the low bid
of $103,147.50.

Contract Awards / Change Orders
8. Action to award contracts for the Brookings City and County
Government Center; Bid Package Number Two.
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: City Manager Jeff Weldon
RE: Final contract awards for Bid Package #2
Joint City-County Government Building
At the last City Council meeting, you approved contract awards for 10 of 18 contracts
comprising Bid Package #2 of the abovementioned project. The final eight contracts had
yet to be reviewed with the apparent low bidder by the Construction Manager which is
part of the process. Those evaluations and meetings have since been held and the
Construction Manager recommended to the Joint Powers Board approval of the final
eight contract awards that are attached. The JPB met on May 31 and agreed to the
recommendation and are forthwith forwarding that recommendation to you and the
County Board.
The County Board is set to consider this recommendation at their next Commission
meeting on June 7.
The only irregularity in the bidding is for Contract #0833 (Coiling Doors/Sectional).
The apparent low bidder was Overhead Door Company of Sioux Falls, Inc.; which was
slightly lower than Skold Specialty Contracting. Upon review of the bid by Overhead
Door Company, the bid was not in compliance with the specifications and needs to be
rejected.
Recommended Motion: The eight remaining contracts be awarded to those so
indicated on the attachment; and that the bid from Overhead Door Company for
Contract #0833 be rejected as an unresponsive bidder.

JOINT POWERS BOARD MEETING
Tuesday, May 31, 2011
The Joint Powers Board met on Tuesday, May 31, 2011 with the following members present: John
Kubal, Tim Reed, Dennis Falken and Alan Gregg. Also in attendance were Jeff Weldon, Stephanie Ellwein,
Mark Kratochvil and Steve Britzman. Project Manager Tom Ginter with Bossardt Corporation and Architect
Todd Moss with Cannon, Moss, Brygger were at the meeting via telephone.
REGULAR BUSINESS
Chairperson Kubal called the meeting to order and a quorum was established.
City Manager Jeff Weldon said that the construction manager was able to meet with the final 8
apparent low bidders. Project Manager Tom Ginter said that all the meetings went well and all the bidders
insured them that they have all of the items in the contracts covered. Ginter recommended approval of the
final 8 awards.
In speaking with Clark Drew regarding the Manufactured Casework/Woodwork contract, Ginter said
that they had everything well covered. He said he checked with two other companies that were going to
submit bids for that contract and both bids were over $500,000, so Ginter said that he believes they got a
fair price.
Ginter also discussed the Testing & Balancing contract and said that this is done right at the end
where they go through and check the air flow from the duct work and make sure the proper exchange is
taking place and that each vent is producing the right amount and the return air is going back as designed.
Ginter also explained why Overhead Door, whose bid was lower for the Coiling Doors/Sectional
contract, wasn't accepted. He said they didn't have a bid bond, they didn't recognize any addendums and
it wasn't a sealed bid.
Weldon said that if they want to make changes to the Clark Drew contract, they could reduce the
amount of wood in the building. But he said they would incur more costs with the architect and it would
take time. He said it would also reduce the visual impact that the wood creates.
Reed said that the design looks good the way it is. He said it's a classic look, but still has a warm
feel. Falken said that it would be a mistake to change it now. He said that they have put in a lot of effort
to not go over the top with the design.
Kubal asked about the two bid awards to Grazzini Brothers and Company. Ginter explained that they
are for tile and for carpet, both for floor coverings.
Motion by Reed, seconded by Falken to accept the recommendations of the construction manager for
the remaining 8 bids for Bid Package #2 and note that the bid for contract #833 -Coiling Doors/Sectional
from Overhead Door Company of Sioux Falls, Inc. is not responsive due to a lack of a bid bond; those bids
being as follows: contract #833, Coiling Doors/Sectional to Skold Specialty Contracting for $19,111; contract
#930, Tile to Grazzini Brothers and Company for $58,585; contract #950, Acoustical Ceilings to Gemini
Acoustical, LLC for $88,995; contract #965, Resilient Flooring/Carpet to Grazzini Brothers and Company for
$203,809; contract #990, Painting to Ellis-Lieffort Painting, Inc. for $153,200; contract #1022, Operable
Partitions to Skold Specialty Contracting for $10,500; contract #1230, Manufactured Casework/Woodwork to
Clark Drew Construction, Inc. for $499,600; contract #2305, Testing and Balance to Tab Systems, Inc. for
$20,200. All members voted "aye." Motion carried.
Weldon said that talked with Brent Koch with architects Cannon, Moss, Brygger and he said that the
bulletproofing on the dais in the chambers was not included in the bid. He asked if that want that back in.
Ginter said the preliminary pricing is $100 per square foot. Weldon said it would be approximately $14,200.
Todd Moss with Cannon, Moss, Brygger said it would need to be put in during the construction process.
Motion by Reed, seconded by Gregg to move forward in adding the protective materiaL to the dais in
the chambers. Weldon said that this would require a change order to Clark Drew's contract. Falken said
that he wouldn't do it for himself, but because they are trying to make a decision for everyone who will sit
at that table and if something happens and they had the opportunity to do it, it's better to have it. Gregg
said that it could be an issue 10 different commissions and councils down the road, but it's best to have it.
Kubal agreed that it's better to put it in now. Al members voted "aye." Motion carried.
Ginter explained that the contract for Clark Drew has to be awarded as is. He said they will receive
a request for proposals from the architects, Clark Drew will provide a price and if they are comfortable with
that price, it will become a change order to that contract that will be need to be approved by the Joint
Powers Board and the full commission and council.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Gregg, seconded by Reed to adjourn. All members voted "aye." Motion carried.

14. Public Hearing and action on an On-Off Malt License for Wooden
Legs Brewing Company, 311 5th Street.
Seth Koch, owner, has applied for an on-off sale Malt Beverage License for Wooden
Legs Brewing Company, 311 5th Street, Lots 15-16, Block 14, Second Addition. All the
required documents have been submitted for this application. A public hearing and
action by the local governing body is required to approve a Malt Beverage License. This
license would be effective on July 1st effective through June 30, 2012 and then subject to
an annual renewal. If approved, the application would be forwarded to the State
Department of Revenue for final action and issuance of the license.
Further Information: SDCL 35-2-1.2 provides all applications for retail licenses …shall
be submitted to the governing board of the municipality within which the applicant
intends to operate…The governing board: “shall have discretion to approve or
disapprove the application depending on whether it deems the applicant a suitable
person to hold such license and whether it considers the proposed location suitable.”
SDCL 35-2-6.2 provides the “character” requirements for alcoholic beverage licensees:
“Any license under this title…must be a person of good moral character, never
convicted of a felony, and, if a corporation, the managing officers thereof must have like
qualifications.”
Procedure for issuance of licenses: Procedurally, SDCL 35-2-3 provides that “no license
for the on or off-sale at retail of alcoholic beverages…shall be granted to an applicant
for any such license, except after public hearing, upon notice.” SDCL 35-2-5 provides
the procedure for the time and place of hearing and for publication of notice. If an
application for a license is refused, “no further application may be received from a
person until after the expiration of one year from the date of a refused application.”
City Ordinances:
Listed below is Chapter 5, Article 2, Section 5-20 of the City Code of Ordinances
pertaining to Application Review Procedure.
The City Council shall review all applications submitted to the City for available On-Sale
Alcoholic Beverage Agreements and for On-Sale Malt Beverage and Wine Licenses in
accordance with SDCL 35-2 and in accordance with the following factors:
a) Type of business which applicant proposes to operate: On-Sale Alcoholic
Beverage Operating Agreements and On-Sale Malt Beverage and Wine Licenses
may not be issued to convenience grocery stores, gas stations, or other stores
where groceries or gasoline are sold unless it can be established that minors do
not regularly frequent the establishment.
b) The manner in which the business is operated: On-Sale Alcoholic Beverage
Operating Agreements and On-Sale Malt Beverage and Wine Licenses may not

be issued to establishments which are operated in a manner which results in
minors regularly frequenting the establishment.
c) The extent to which minors are employed in such a place of business: On-Sale
Alcoholic Beverage Operating Agreements and On-Sale Malt Beverage and Wine
Licenses may not be issued to convenience grocery stores, gas stations, or other
stores where groceries or gasoline are sold and which regularly employ minors.
d) The adequacy of the police facilities to properly police the proposed location:
The City Council shall inquire of the Police Chief whether the Police
Department can adequately police the proposed location.
e) Other factors: The hours that business is conducted shall be considered by the
City Council in its review of applications for on-sale alcoholic beverage operating
agreements and on-sale malt beverage and wine licenses
SDCL and case law support the premise that the decision to issue an alcoholic beverage
license is discretionary. The City can assess the character of the applicant and whether
the location is suitable. A person convicted of a felony is prohibited from applying for a
license; therefore, a convicted felon would fail the character test. In determining suitable
location, the Council may involve the determination of whether the location is suitable
consistent with the procedure developed through South Dakota Case Law. This
includes the manner in which the business is operated; the extent to which minors
frequent or are employed in such place of business; the adequacy of the police facilities
to properly police the proposed location, and other factors associated with the sale of
alcoholic beverages.

establishment authorization will be granted for each 2,206 persons, or a fraction thereof,
of the population of the city as determined each August 1 by the city planning
department. No establishment authorized for a video lottery machine placement may be
denied authorization in subsequent years solely by reason of any limitations of the

16. Discussion and possible action on annexation and future street
project along Western Avenue.
The City received a request indicating interest in paving Western Avenue between 20th
Street South and the south end of Esther Heights Addition. This agenda item will
include discussion about the process to pave this portion of Western Avenue, which is
shown on the attached drawing.
History:
In 2006, the City received a petition to pave this portion of Western Avenue. At that
time, the east side of Western Avenue was outside the City limits. The petition
included signatures from 35% of the frontage owners. After discussion, no council
recommendations were made and no action was taken on this issue.
Since that time, Moriarty Heights Addition has been annexed. There are three
properties on the east side of Western Avenue that are currently outside the city
limits.
Annexation Procedure:
At this time, there are three parcels outside the City limits. A couple years ago, the
City sent a letter to the three property owners to invite them to contact the City if
they wish to petition to annex. However, the City did not receive a voluntary petition.
The City could begin the annexation of these properties, which would involve the
Community Development Department initiating a study, creating a Resolution of Intent
to Annex, and completing an Annexation Resolution.
Assessment Procedure:
SDCL 9-45-20 authorizes the City to proceed with a street improvement on its own
initiative. SDCL 9-45-23 mentions that a street improvement can also be initiated by
55% of the frontage, and 9-45-26 recognizes that protest to the improvement requires
owners of more than 55% of the adjoining property to protest or a referendum can
accomplish the objection. The first step in the assessment process to construct Western
Avenue would be a public hearing and adoption of a “Resolution of Necessity”. This
resolution would only allow the properties within the City Limits to be assessed,
therefore, the three parcels that are currently outside the City limits would need to be
annexed before they could be subject to assessment.
The following statutes pertain to street assessments:
9-45-20. Improvements - Streets - Resolution for street improvement by special
assessments - Contents of resolution - Assumption of cost by municipality.
Whenever the governing body shall deem it necessary to open, widen, extend, grade,
gravel, surface with oil or other bituminous material, pave, repave, bridge, construct a
City of Brookings
June 14, 2011
125
viaduct upon or over, erect equipment for street lighting in, curb, gutter, drain, or
otherwise improve any streets, alleys or public ways for which a special assessment is to
be levied, it shall declare in a proposed resolution the necessity of such improvement,
stating therein the streets, alleys, public ways, or grounds to be improved, the general
nature of the proposed improvement, the material to be used or materials from which a
choice may be made, an estimate of the total cost or cost per linear foot, a description
of the classes of lots to be assessed, and the method of apportioning the benefits
thereto as provided in §§ 9-45-28 to 9-45-32, inclusive. If it is deemed expedient for the
municipality to assume and pay any portion of the cost of the improvement, the
resolution may so provide, or the portion so to be assumed may be provided by a
subsequent resolution, subject to the right of referendum on such resolution.
9-45-23. Improvements - Streets - Publication of notice of resolution for improvements
by special assessment - Publication not required after petition by property owners.
The resolution required by § 9-45-20 shall be published once in the official newspaper of
the municipality, with an appended notice stating the place and time, at least two weeks
after such publication, at which the governing body will meet for the consideration of
the adoption of the resolution. Said notice shall state further that at said time and place
the governing body will consider any objections to the proposed resolution by owners
of property liable to be assessed for the improvement. If such improvement be
petitioned for by the owners of more than fifty-five percent of the frontage of the
property to be assessed therefore, it may be provided for by resolution without
publication.
9-45-26. Improvements - Streets - Power to proceed with improvement after publication
of resolution - Ratification of prior proceedings.
After twenty days from the adoption and publication of the resolution referred to in § 9-
45-25, unless the referendum be invoked or unless a written protest shall have been filed
with the auditor or clerk signed by the owners of more than fifty-five percent of the
frontage of property liable to assessment, the governing body shall have power to cause
such improvement to be made, to contract therefore, and to levy and collect special
assessments therefore as provided in this title, provided, that any such proceedings taken
prior to the adoption of such resolution shall be deemed ratified thereby.

City Manager Introduction
Action: Motion to Approve, Request Public Comment, Roll Call
The Honorable Mayor, Members of
the City Council and Management
City of Brookings, South Dakota
As part of our audit of the financial statements and compliance of the City of Brookings, South
Dakota (City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, we wish to communicate the
following to you.
AUDIT SCOPE AND RESULTS
Auditor’s Responsibility Under Auditing Standards Generally Accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and U.S. Office
of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments
and Nonprofit Organizations.
An audit performed in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United
States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government
Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and U.S. Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and
Nonprofit Organizations, is designed to obtain reasonable, rather than absolute, assurance about
the financial statements and about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance
requirements described in OMB Circular A-133 that could have a direct and material effect on a
major federal program occurred. In performing auditing procedures, we establish scopes of audit
tests in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. Our engagement does not include a
detailed audit of every transaction. Our engagement letter more specifically describes our
responsibilities.
These standards require communication of significant matters related to the financial statement
and compliance audit that are relevant to the responsibilities of those charged with governance in
overseeing the financial reporting process. Such matters are communicated in the remainder of
this letter or have previously been communicated during other phases of the audit. The standards
do not require the auditor to design procedures for the purpose of identifying other matters to be
communicated with those charged with governance.
An audit of the financial statements and compliance does not relieve management or those
charged with governance of their responsibilities. Our engagement letter more specifically
describes your responsibilities.

Qualitative Aspects of Significant Accounting Policies and Practices
Significant Accounting Policies
The City’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the audited financial
statements.
Alternative Accounting Treatments
No matters are reportable
Management Judgments and Accounting Estimates
Accounting estimates are an integral part of financial statement preparation by management,
based on its judgments. The following areas involve significant areas of such estimates for
which we are prepared to discuss management’s estimation process and our procedures for
testing the reasonableness of those estimates:
• Allowance for uncollectible accounts
• Depreciation expense
Financial Statement Disclosures
No matters are reportable
Audit Adjustments
During the course of any audit, an auditor may propose adjustments to financial statement
amounts. Management evaluates our proposals and records those adjustments which, in its
judgment, are required to prevent the financial statements from being materially misstated.
Some adjustments proposed were not recorded because their aggregate effect is not currently
material; however, they involve areas in which adjustments in the future could be material,
individually or in the aggregate.
Areas in which adjustments were proposed include:
Proposed Audit Adjustments Recorded
• Construction in progress, and related accounts and retainage payable
• Adjustments relating to the bond refunding
Proposed Audit Adjustments Not Recorded
• Attached is a summary of uncorrected misstatements we aggregated during the
current engagement and pertaining to the latest period presented that were determined
by management to be immaterial to the financial statements as a whole.

INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements of the City of Brookings, South
Dakota (City) as of and for the year ended December 31, 2010, in accordance with auditing
standards generally accepted in the United States of America, we considered the City’s internal
control over financial reporting (internal control) as a basis for designing our auditing procedures
for the purpose of expressing our opinion on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of
expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control. Accordingly, we do not
express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City’s internal control.
Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the preceding
paragraph and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be
significant deficiencies or material weaknesses and, therefore, there can be no assurance that all
deficiencies, significant deficiencies or material weaknesses have been identified.
130
4
A deficiency exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or
employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and
correct misstatements of the City’s financial statements on a timely basis. A deficiency in design
exists when a control necessary to meet a control objective is missing or an existing control is
not properly designed so that, even if the control operates as designed, a control objective would
not be met. A deficiency in operation exists when a properly designed control does not operate
as designed or when the person performing the control does not possess the necessary authority
or competence to perform the control effectively.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control, such
that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the City’s financial
statements will not be prevented or detected and corrected on a timely basis.
A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is
less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged
with governance.
We observed the following matters that we consider to be deficiencies.
Deficiencies
Financial Statement Adjustments
Professional standards define an audit adjustment as a proposed correction of the financial
statements that in our judgment may not have been detected except through our auditing
procedures. An audit adjustment may or may not indicate matters that could have a significant
effect on the financial reporting process (that is, cause future financial statements to be
materially misstated) of the City. We suggest management review the entries proposed as noted
in the audit adjustments section and develop a process to ensure these areas are all identified and
properly recorded in future reporting periods.
OTHER MATTERS
Although not considered material weaknesses, significant deficiencies or deficiencies in internal
control over financial reporting, we observed the following matters and offer these comments
and suggestions with respect to matters which came to our attention during the course of the
audit of the financial statements. Our audit procedures are designed primarily to enable us to
form an opinion on the financial statements and, therefore, may not bring to light all weaknesses
in policies and procedures that may exist. However, these matters are offered as constructive
suggestions for the consideration of management as part of the ongoing process of modifying
and improving financial and administrative practices and procedures. We can discuss these
matters further at your convenience and may provide implementation assistance for changes or
improvements if you require.
Management letters are sometimes critical of accounting processes or internal control features
that do not provide adequate safeguards for an entity’s assets, or suggest improvements for
operational efficiency. We made numerous suggestions for improvement in last year’s
131
5
management letter. We commend you on the significant efforts made during the last year in
response to these suggestions.
Capital Contributions
During the year, the general operations of the City incurred construction costs, which were
transferred to the Water and Wastewater funds in the form of capital contributions. An
estimation process was utilized by Brookings Municipal Utilities (BMU) management to derive a
value of the capital contributions; however, documentation of the actual costs was available. We
suggest this actual documentation be used in the future on these types of projects to save time
and ensure the proper value is recorded within the financial statements.
Capital Asset Organization and Preparation
Due to system limitations imposed by the City's current accounting software, certain information
and reports relating to capital assets are not accessible in a practical format. This causes
difficulties in the year-end closing, reconciliation and audit process. We recommend
management review the current system to determine if new modules are available which could
improve this process. We understand management has already undertaken this process, which
includes staff trainings on updated system capabilities.
Preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards
Due to the variability and complexity of terms and requirements related to federal award
programs, we recommend management closely review recognition criteria when preparing the
Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards. We would be glad to assist in the evaluation of
recognition criteria for new federal award programs, which may include such unique and
complex terms and requirements.
New Accounting and Auditing Standards
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 54
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 54, Fund Balance
Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions, to enhance the usefulness of fund balance
information by providing clearer fund balance classifications that can be more consistently
applied and by clarifying the existing governmental fund type definitions.
Statement 54 is effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2011.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 60
The Governmental Accounting Standards Board has issued Statement No. 60, Accounting and
Financial Reporting for Service Concession Arrangements, to improve financial reporting by
addressing issues related to service concession arrangements (SCAs), which are a type of public-
private or public-public partnership. As used in this Statement, an SCA is an arrangement
between a transferor (a government) and an operator (governmental or nongovernmental entity)
in which (1) the transferor conveys to an operator the right and related obligation to provide
132
6
services through the use of infrastructure or another public asset in exchange for significant
consideration and (2) the operator collects and is compensated by fees from third parties.
Statement 60 is effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012.

certain storm sewer facilities improvements; giving approval to
the issuance and sale of a Revenue Bond to finance, directly or
indirectly, the improvements to the facilities; approving the form
of the loan agreement and the Revenue Bond and pledging
revenues and collateral to secure the payment of the Revenue
Bond; and creating special funds and accounts for the
administration of funds for operation of the system and
retirement of the Revenue Bond.
The attached Resolution, prepared by our bond counsel, provides for the
bond issuance and debt financing of our storm water drainage improvement
projects. We have been approved for a state loan principle up to $483,538
worth of eligible infrastructure projects from the State Revolving Fund
(SRF) of the Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources. This funding will
go toward Project #3 (Pheasant Nest Detention Pond), which is scheduled
be begin construction in 2011. The loan will be repaid by our Storm
Drainage Utility Fund. State financing for this project was anticipated when
you adopted the Finance Plan as a means of paying for the projects in the
Storm Drainage Master Plan. We anticipate additional SRF applications in
the future as a means of financing future storm drainage projects in the
Master Plan. However, State Law and Agency Rules allow for financing of
projects that can be completed within three years of application.

improvement, extension or addition to its sewer system; and,
Whereas, the City has determined to issue its revenue bonds to finance the improvements to its
storm sewer system for the purpose of collecting, treating and disposing of sewage and other
domestic, commercial and industrial wastes (the “System”) and has applied to the South Dakota

2.2. Findings. The City does hereby find as follows:
2.2.1. The City hereby expressly finds that if the Project is not undertaken, the System
will pose a health hazard to the City and its inhabitants, and will make the City unable to
comply with state and federal law.
2.2.2. Because of the functional interdependence of the various portions of the System,
the fact that the System may not lawfully operate unless it complies with State and
federal laws, including SDCL Chapter 34A-2, and the federal Clean Water Act, and the

up to $483,538 of the costs of the Project through the issuance of bonds payable from net
revenues of the system and other funds secured by the City. The City hereby determines that
because the Revenue Bond is issued in connection with a financing agreement described in SDCL

Finance Officer, and other appropriate officials shall be and are hereby authorized and directed

SDCL Chapter 9-40 and SDCL Chapter 6-8B, and the provisions of the Act are hereby
expressly incorporated herein as provided in Section 19 of the Act.
3.4. Pledge of Revenues. The Revenue Bond together with the interest thereon, shall not
constitute a charge against the City's general credit or taxing power, but shall be a limited
obligation of the City payable solely out of the Project Debt Service Account, which payments,
revenues and receipts are hereby and in the Loan Agreement pledged and assigned for the
equal and ratable payments of the Revenue Bond and shall be used for no other purpose than
to pay the principal of, interest and Administrative Surcharge on the Revenue Bond, except as
may be otherwise expressly authorized in the Loan Agreement (including the purpose of
securing Additional Bonds issued as permitted by the terms thereof). The City hereby
irrevocably pledges to the South Dakota Conservancy District all income and revenues of the
System, including, without limitation, fees, charges to users of the System, penalties and hook-
up fees, sign-up fees, proceeds of business interruption insurance, proceeds from the sale of
property constituting part of the System and investment income on all such revenues, but only
to the extent that the revenues exceed the amounts necessary to operate and maintain the
System, provided there shall be excluded from this pledge the proceeds of any federal or state
grant or loan, and the investment income therefrom, to the extent such exclusion is a condition
of such grant or loan. The City covenants and agrees to charge rates for all services from the
System or establish charges or rates which will be sufficient to provide for the payments upon
the Revenue Bond issued hereunder as and when the same become due, and as may be
necessary to provide for the operation and maintenance and repairs of the System, and
depreciation, and the Rate Ordinance shall be revised from time to time so as to produce these
amounts. The City hereby reserves the right to determine on a periodic basis the appropriate
allocation of operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation, repair and reserves associated
with the facilities financed with the Revenue Bond, provided that such determination of
allocable operation and maintenance expenses shall in no event abrogate, abridge or otherwise
contravene the covenant of the City set forth in this Section 3 or any other covenant or
agreement in the Loan Agreement.

the delivery of the unaudited financial statements required in the Loan Agreement, the City

Revenues remaining in the Project Revenue Account at the end of any fiscal year after all
periodic transfers have been made therefrom as above required, shall be deemed to be surplus

default in making any periodic transfer to the Project Debt Service Account, the Common
Council shall authorize the City Finance Officer to rectify such default so far as possible by the
transfer of money from the Project Surplus Account. If any such default shall exist as to more
than one account or fund at any time, then such transfer shall be made in the order such funds
and accounts are listed above.
When not required to restore a current deficiency in the Project Debt Service Account,

purposes and not otherwise:
a) To redeem and prepay the Revenue Bond when and as such Revenue Bond becomes
prepayable according to its terms;
b) To pay for repairs of or for the construction and installation of improvements or
additions to the System; and, if the balances in the Project Debt Service Account and

reasonably anticipated to be made there from prior to the end of the then current
fiscal year, then:

which are not then but will later be prepayable according to their terms; or
d) To be used for any other authorized municipal purpose designated by the Common
Council.
e) No moneys shall at any time be transferred from the Project Surplus Account or any
other account of the Fund to any other fund of the City, nor shall such moneys at
any time be loaned to other municipal funds or invested in warrants, special
improvements bonds or other obligations payable from other funds, except as
