Council with a letter summarizing comments received.
The Council also heard comments from Patty Kratochvil, Darlene Fische, Mason Wheeler,
Brian Burkhalter, Anthony Sutton, and Troy Hicks.
Topics discussed: event start time, difficulty in restricting one event, enforcement of over
serving laws, image and visitor impressions, encourage morning clean -up, possible committee of
city/bar owners/police chief for all big events, and retail and bar owners finding a solution
without city involvement.
Council consensus was for the Downtown Brookings Inc. organization to bridge the gap
between the retail and bar owners to find a solution without city involvement.

20 on-off sale malt and on-off wine establishments to have video lottery. No changes to the
ordinance were proposed.

CONSENT AGENDA #4
D. Action on Resolution No. 80-11, a Resolution Authorizing a
Revision to Change Order No. 2 (CCO#2 Final) for 2009-05STI
SDSU Innovation Campus Infrastructure – Phase II, Bowes
Construction Inc. (change in completion date).
This project entails the construction of Phase II in the SDSU Innovation
Campus, which is located east of 22nd Avenue. This construction project
was designed by Banners Associates, and includes water mains and services,
sanitary sewer mains and services, grading, detention pond, gravel, curb &
gutter, asphalt paving, paint striping, signing, and storm sewer.
The final change order for this project was approved by the City Council
with Resolution No. 10-11 on January 25, 2011. The approved change
order indicated the final completion date was May 15, 2011. This date was
anticipated to be enough time for the contractor to complete their final
punch list items and final grading work on the northeast detention pond.
However, due to the wet spring conditions, the contractor was not able to

CONSENT AGENDA #4
E. Action on Resolution No. 81-11, a Resolution Authorizing Change
Order No. 1 (CCO#1) for 2011-07STI, Main Avenue and Front
Street Project ($150 total increase to the contract).
This project was designed by Civil Design Inc. and entails the construction of new curb
& gutter and islands at the railroad tracks on Main Avenue in preparation for the new
railroad safety crossing gate project, realignment and reconstruction of Front Street
between 3rd Street and Main Avenue, and the construction of the Fire Department
Parking Lot and the Park & Recreation Parking Lot. The City will be reimbursed
$100,000 from the Railroad Crossing Improvement Program (RCIP) through the SD
Department of Transportation for the new railroad safety crossing gates. The
program’s purpose is to provide funding for the implementation of safety improvements
where a public roadway intersects active railroad tracks. In the design of the project,
the Front Street intersection at Main Avenue was moved to the north of its current
location to provide the appropriate stacking distance on the north side of the railroad
tracks.
During the construction of the project, a few unforeseen items were discovered and are
included in this change order. One inlet with a size of 5.5’ x 5.5’ Type B Drop Inlet with
Frame and Grate was discovered very near a gas line. It was determined by the
consultant that a 2’ x 3’ Type B Drop Inlet could be installed in its place which would
avoid the gas line and would not hinder the storm water flows. This change order will
delete the 5.5’ x 5.5’ drop inlet and add one 2’ x 3’ drop inlet. In addition, an unknown
concrete retaining wall and ramp was discovered underground on the north side of the
old armory building and a portion of it needed to be removed to move the gas regulator
station to the east side of the proposed alley. These items result in a total increase of
$150.00 to the contract, which is summarized as follows:
Original Contract Price: $377,604.58
Change from Previously Approved Change Orders: $0.00
Contract Price Prior to this Change Order: $377,604.58
Increase of this Change Order (No. 1): $150.00
Contract Price incorporating this Change Order: $377,754.58
This resolution will approve Change Order No. 1 (CCO #1 Final) for an increase of
$150.00 to the contract for this project.

8. Action on Resolution No. 82-11, a Resolution Authorizing the
City Manager to Sign an Agreement for Professional Services for
Airport Improvement Project #3-46-0005-024-2011, New Airport
Layout Plan & Approach Survey.
The City Council has determined the Brookings Regional Airport
improvements will occur at the current airport site and the next step in the
process is to complete the New Airport Layout Plan (ALP) and Approach
Survey. Helms and Associates will be the engineering consultant for the
next five years of projects for the Brookings Regional Airport and they will
be designing the Airport Layout Plan. In addition, Helms and Associates has
negotiated a contract with Aerometric, the firm to perform the Approach
Survey. Aerometric was in Brookings on April 28th to give the Airport
Board and City Council a briefing on the approach survey and what it
entails. The cost of the Agreement for Professional Services is
$188,973.51, which is less than the cost anticipated on the approved
Airport CIP, which was $300,000. The City anticipates receiving a grant
from the Federal Aviation Administration for the ALP and Approach
Survey. The grant will be 95% FAA funding and 3% SD State of Aeronautics
Department funding, with the City’s funding match at 2% of the project, and
will come at a later date.
The next steps in the airport project are to complete the No Rise Study
for 6-Mile Creek, the Corps of Engineers 404 permit, land acquisition, and
construction design. These upcoming tasks will be eligible for grant funding,
however, it is anticipated that they will not be fully covered by grants and
the City of Brookings will be responsible to fund the upfront costs for
these tasks. A separate resolution will be presented to the City Council
for these upcoming tasks.
This resolution will authorize the City Manager to sign the Agreement for
Professional Services for Brookings Regional Airport for Project No. #3-46-
0005-024-2011 for the Airport Layout Plan and the Approach Survey.

11. Consideration of permission for School District to install an
educational wind tower at Mickelson Middle School.
The Brookings School District is requesting permission to install an
outdoor educational wind tower classroom at the Mickelson Middle School.
Wind Powering America sponsors the Wind for Schools project to raise
awareness in rural America about the benefits of wind energy while
simultaneously developing a wind energy knowledge base in future leaders
of our communities, states, and nation. Science teachers utilize the wind
turbine as a teaching aid in energy-related curricula and possibly as a source
for science fair concepts. The program supplies curricula, educational kits,
and training to teachers to support wind curricula implementation in the
classroom.
A Wind Application Center is implemented at a state university or college
under the leadership of an interested university professor. The South
Dakota Wind Application Center is located at South Dakota State
University under the direction of Michael Twedt in the Mechanical
Engineering Department. The Wind Application Centers provide technical
assistance to rural schools (analyzing the wind resource, energy usage,
siting, permitting, land use, and financials, overseeing the installation of the
power and the data acquisition system and analyzing the performance data).
The Wind for Schools Program has implemented outdoor education wind
tower classrooms at the following South Dakota Schools:
Dakota Valley
Douglas
Elkton
Faith
Sanborn Central
Selby
Sioux Falls Memorial Middle School
The proposed wind turbine is the Skystream AirX and would be installed in
the southeast corner of the Mickelson Middle School grounds
approximately 92 feet west of the tennis and volle yball courts and 119 feet
east of the parking lot.

12. Discussion and action on Project Description for 25th Avenue
Improvement Project.
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: City Manager Jeff Weldon
Community Development Director Mike Struck
City Engineer Jackie Lanning
Finance Director Rita Thompson
City Attorney Steve Britzman
RE: Installation of 25th Avenue/10th Street extension; adjacent
commercial development
For the past two years, our capital budget has been carrying as a project,
the completion of 25th Avenue from its current terminus at 9th Street north
to Innovation Drive. This project has not been initiated as the need is
driven chiefly by the development of adjacent parcels that would benefit
from such infrastructure. In addition, an extension of 10th Street from its
current dead-end at Innovation Village Apartments to the newly-
constructed 25th Avenue is needed. We have now been approached by
developers who are ready to proceed with adjacent private development,
thus the need for the street and utility infrastructure. This project does
require a partnership with the City to complete.
This project will open up approximately 40 acres of development for
commercial and certain types of residential uses just off Highway 14 and I-
29.
Staff has been working with Mr. Dennis Bielfeldt of Den-Wil Properties and
Mr. Craig Lloyd of Lloyd Companies to craft an arrangement whereby the
infrastructure could be installed to support private, adjacent, commercial
development on several parcels. I (Weldon) met with Mayor Reed and
Council Members McClemans and Bartley several months ago to initially
City of Brookings
July 12, 2011
37
discuss this idea and now we are bringing the overall development concept
to the City Council as the developers are ready to proceed.
Infrastructure
The infrastructure under consideration includes the two streets indicated
above with the addition of associated water, sewer, storm drainage, curb
and gutter, and any other private utilities. These costs would be assessable
under our current policy to benefitting property owners. The streets have
been dedicated as public right-of-way by the current owner and such
streets are in the City’s Master Street Plan. (Refer to attached concept plan
map.) Sidewalks and landscaping would be done at the time of
development and not a part of this project. The assessable portion would
be the normal size infrastructure but oversizing would be necessary for
water and sewer lines. Pursuant to their policy, BMU would pay the
oversizing costs. Likewise, the street section would be more extensive
than what would be assessable so the City would pay for “extra width and
thickness” pursuant to our policy.
Benefitting Parcels
The benefitting parcels are currently unplatted, but would be dissected into
three distinct parcels by virtue of the installation of the streets. One parcel
would be approximately 25 acres in size immediately to the north of
Lowe’s and east of 25th Avenue. (Identified as parcel 1) A second parcel
would be approximately 306 feet by 731 feet in size immediately to the
west of 25th Avenue and south of 10th Street. (Identified as parcel 2) A
third parcel would be approximately 100 feet by 400 feet in size also to the
west of 25th Avenue and just north of 10th Street. (Identified as parcel 3) As
you can see from its size, this parcel has very limited development
potential. The developers are in the process of acquiring all parcels now
from the current owner but that real estate transaction, to the best of my
knowledge, has not yet occurred.
Current status
It has been the staff position that neither private developers, nor the City,
should incur the cost of this infrastructure unless there is private
development imminent that would benefit from it. Consequently,
supporting infrastructure needs to be available and precede private
development if the property is to be attractive to commercial development.
City of Brookings
July 12, 2011
38
To that end, the developers have offered to undertake a development
project on Lot 2 Block 2 by constructing Innovation Village II on this parcel
if the City installs the infrastructure and assesses the developers for the
cost over time. This way, the developers will still pay for the infrastructure
but it will be installed like a typical street/utility assessment project.
The real benefit here is that Innovation Village II gets added to the taxable
valuation of Tax Increment District #1 and starts our reimbursement of
funds from capital expenditures associated with the Innovation Campus.
Even though this building is outside the research park, it is still in the TIF
district and contributes to increased valuation.
Recommended agreement
Staff is recommending a development agreement with the developers via
the draft agreement which is attached. Essentially, the basic provisions of
the draft agreement are as follows:
1) The City will undertake the infrastructure improvements associated
with the project if the developer builds Innovation Village II as a
mutual commitment to the project.
2) The City will assess the developers on a five-year deferral following
project completion of the project without interest. This gives time
for infrastructure development to occur before assessment begins.
3) The assessment will begin at the five-year time period OR at the time
any private development were to occur, whichever comes first. If
development were to occur on any part of any of the three parcels,
that assessment against that respective parcel would be due and
payable in full.
4) Typically, assessments are levied against the property owners.
However, state law does permit third parties to assume the
assessment liability in lieu of the property owner of record. If the
developers do not secure ownership at the time any assessment is
due, they would be responsible for assessment payments, not the
current owner. Appropriate documents, such as a loan agreement,
would be necessary to put such provisions in place beyond the
City of Brookings
July 12, 2011
39
development agreement. City Attorney Britzman has prepared the
initial draft of such an agreement.
5) In the event the developers default on the assessment, the liability of
the assessment would revert to the property owner of record so the
City would be assured of re-payment.
As an alternative assessment method to what is described in Item 4-5
above, state law does permit 100 percent of the assessment to be
levied against one parcel of benefit, even if it is not directly
contiguous to the improvement but otherwi se benefits from it by
close proximity. This would mean that the Innovation Village II
apartment building could bear all of the assessment and then the
responsibility would be directly with the owner and a third -party
assignment would not be necessary. The attached draft development
agreement does not contemplate this option but it is possible.
6) The City has begun engineering work on the project and has
contracted with CDI and BMU for the engineering and survey work.
However, we will not advertise for bidding the project until we have
assurances the developers will construct Innovation Village II through
such means as a building permit or other mutually agreeable
assurance.
The developers will be at the Council meeting to further discuss their
perspectives on this project. If this development concept is acceptable to
the City Council, staff requests authorization to proceed with final details
of all essential documents to promulgate the project. Final authorization
would come back to the City Council at the appropriate time.
The projected timeline is for the developers to initiate construction of
Innovation Village II this current construction season. The City would
likewise proceed with construction this season of the storm drainage,
water/sewer utilities and possibly curb and gutter. Street surface would
wait until next year to allow for adequate settling and compaction of the
sub-base before the surface.

infrastructure improvements associated with the extension of 25th Avenue from its current
terminus point on the south and Innovation Drive on the north; also, the extension of 10th
Street from its current terminus point on the west at 10th Street dead-end to 25th Avenue on
the east. The City has the authority to undertake such improvements and contracts related
thereto pursuant to SDCL 9-12-1(1) and 9-45-1.
The purpose of the installation of such infrastructure improvements is to promote and
encourage the private development of currently-vacant commercial property.
1) Site location
Attached is Exhibit A which identifies the site location of the proposed improvements.
2) Proposed infrastructure improvements
The improvements associated with these two streets include the street, curb and gutter, storm
drainage, trunk water and sanitary sewer mains. All improvements will be installed in the
existing right-of-way which has been duly dedicated to the City except for the possibility of
de/retention ponds that may be needed to be installed on private property pursuant to the
details of the drainage plan. Secondary improvements including but not limited to interior
utility service lines, sidewalks, and landscaping are not included in the scope of this project but
will be the ultimate responsibility of the developer for the development of the private property
that shall be serviced by these public improvements pursuant to applicable City regulations.
City and developers agree to work cooperatively to a mutually-agreed upon final plan and
design.
3) Engineering, design, and construction of the improvements
The City shall be responsible for the engineering, design, staking, construction, and inspection
of the proposed improvements. City shall engage the services of Civil Design, Inc. for the
design and construction administration of the street and all storm drainage improvements.
Brookings Municipal Utilities shall design the water and sanitary sewer systems. These two
engineering consultants shall work exclusively for the City. If the project is ultimately
approved, the City shall undertake the advertising, bidding, and contracting for the construction
of the project.
4) Development of Lot 2, Block 2 for Innovation Village II
It is the intent of the Developers to initiate construction of an apartment complex on Lot 2,
Block 2 Telkamp Addition during the 2011 construction season. Evidence of such construction

of said development must occur to the satisfaction of the City before the City agrees to
advertise for the construction of the infrastructure project.
5) Financing of infrastructure improvements; deferred assessment
City agrees to finance the engineering and construction of the project. The City will levy an
assessment for the total project cost to the developers pursuant to SDCL 9-54-3.1
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PROJECT-“DEFINITION-REVENUE AGREEMENT.” The South
Dakota Attorney General has issued two opinions stating that “a municipality may exercise
these powers without the necessity of issuing revenue bonds, if other means can be worked
out to finance a project.” AGR 1967-68, p. 460, 1988 S.D. Op. Atty. Gen. 172, 1988 WL 483235
(S.D.A.G.) The assessment will be levied by certification of the assessment roll being received by
Brookings County Auditor pursuant to SDCL 9-43-31 so the first assessment installment shall
be due on January 1, 2016. The assessment will be levied pursuant to the City’s standard
assessment policies of ten percent (10%) interest for a maximum of ten (10) years. Interest
shall be paid during the assessment period. No interest shall be due during the five year
deferral period. The assessment shall be levied on a front-foot basis against parcels 1, 2, and 3
identified on Exhibit A. Assessable cost shall be all those costs associated with the project as
permitted by state law.
6) Financial liability for assessments
The developers and the City shall execute a Loan Agreement, Promissory Note, and such other
documents as necessary to provide for the financing of the infrastructure improvements as
described in Section 5 above, and to secure the payment of the indebtedness.
7) Assessment “trigger” in advance of deferral period
If, at any time during the initial five-year deferral period, development were to occur on parcels
1, 2, or 3 as identified on Exhibit A, the assessment shall be activated for that respective parcel.
Development is defined as any building permit or approved plat of said parcel. Any plat that
seeks to further subdivide parcels 1, 2, or 3 shall trigger that assessment for the entire parcel.
8) Developer default of assessment
In the event developers default on any assessment payment, the assessment responsibility for
any unpaid, outstanding balance reverts to the owner of record of said parcel.
APPROVED, THIS __________ DAY OF _______, 2011.

13. Action on Resolution No. 83-11, a Resolution Authorizing the
Transfer of Real Property to the Brookings Economic
Development Corporation, Inc. Pursuant to SDCL 9-27-36 for
Economic Development Purposes.
Brookings Economic Development Corporation is requesting City Council
approval of the attached resolution to expedite the transfer of land for
economic development. Approving the transfer of economic development
land in one blanket resolution will greatly assist efforts to compete for both
local business and industry expansion and the recruitment of new business
and industry to the community. The ability to provide information and
close deals in a timely manner is essential.
BEDC is requesting that the transfer price be set at $0, or $1, per parcel to
provide a high degree of latitude in the negotiation process. To ensure that
the community and City of Brookings receive an adequate return on
investment BEDC has formulated a review process, criteria to calculate
return on investment, and enforceable business/industry performance
measures.
We look forward to discussing this important topic with the City Coun cil.
