1. Proposed 2012 Budget
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: City Manager Jeff Weldon
RE: Budget hearings
We are scheduled to hold our council workshops pertaining to the 2012
budget on August 9th and August 23rd. We will hold the August 9th
workshop from 4:30 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. You have the budget either in disk
form or hardcopy. Please remember to bring your budget books with you
to both meetings.
For the August 9th meeting, we will focus on the departmental operating
budgets and minor capital items. If time permits, we can start the
preliminary discussion about some of the major capital expenditures of the
Public Improvement Fund (75% second penny).
For the August 23rd meeting, we will focus more specifically on the
proposed capital expenditures of the Public Improvement Fund and focus
almost exclusively on these items. Staff needs some specific policy
direction from the Council on major capital expenditures before we
consider budget adoption and this is the format with which to address
these issues.
The first and second reading of the budget adoption ordinance will be held
during the September 13th and September 27th meetings respectively.
If you have any questions before or between meetings about the budget,
feel free to contact Finance Director Rita Thompson or myself.

Discussion: Bezdichek stated the city needs to resolve the restaurant license fee issue; establish a
fee now and not wait for legislative action. He suggested doubling the fee for the restaurant
license to $50,000; with the liquor license remaining at $25,000. With restaurant licenses
regulated more by the legislature than the city, there are also advantages such as greater
flexibility, a greater license value, and a license which is ‘sellable’.
Mayor Reed clarified the process has been started with the legislators and will be ongoing until an
amount is agreed upon; $50,000 is a good starting figure. He asked for further discussion to be
scheduled for the next council meeting.
ACTION: A motion was made by McClemans, seconded by Bezdichek, to consider issuing the
third license for at least a six month period. Public Comment: Garner Hansen urged the council

narrower streets. Niemeyer and Thorpe voted yes; Bezdichek, Corbett, Kubal, McClemans and
Reed voted no; motion failed.

CONSENT AGENDA #4
D. Action on an Amendment to a Transfer of Real Property to Brookings
Economic Development Corporation, Inc. for Economic Development
Purposes
The City Council approved Resolution No. 76-11 on June 14, 2011 authorizing the
transfer of real property to the Brookings Economic Development Corporation,
Inc. for economic development purposes. The resolution approved the transfer of
12 acres to the Brookings Economic Development Corporation, Inc.; two sections
of the resolution identified a price per acre for the transfer of real property. These
sections are as follows:
A. Purchase approximately 10 acres of real property located in the south-
west corner of the Foster Addition to the City of Brookings, South
Dakota, for the price of Twenty-nine thousand four hundred eighty-nine
Dollars & zero cents ($29,489.00) per acre, and
B. Purchase approximately 2 acres of real property located in the south-
west corner of the Foster Addition to the City of Brookings, South
Dakota, for the price of Eighteen thousand five hundred twenty-four
Dollars & zero cents ($18,524.00) per acre.
The reason for the difference in price is there is a shelter belt along the south
property line of the Foster Addition. The Brookings Economic Development
Corporation, Inc. agreed to purchase the shelterbelt for cost. The actual acreage
of the shelter belt is 2.7 acres. Therefore, the Brookings Economic Development
Corporation, Inc. requests the purchase price be amended to the following:
A. Purchase 9.3 acres of real property located in the south-west corner of
the Foster Addition to the City of Brookings, South Dakota, for the price
of Twenty-nine thousand four hundred eighty-nine Dollars & zero cents
($29,489.00) per acre, and
B. Purchase 2.7 acres of real property located in the south-west corner of
the Foster Addition to the City of Brookings, South Dakota, for the price
of Eighteen thousand five hundred twenty-four Dollars & zero cents
($18,524.00) per acre.
Enclosed is the plat of Block 1 and 2 of the Foster Addition. There is a utility
easement that lies on the north side of the shelter belt and continues north twenty
feet.
A motion to amend would equate to a reduction in price of $7,675.50 from the
original proposal.
Staff recommends approval.

Due to some minor building design changes it became necessary for a change
in some dimension lumber and the insulation to be used, resulting in an
additional charge of $503.39 to the original contract. Staff recommends

rejected and the project re-bid at a later date for construction in 2012. In
the meantime, we will look at re-design and other options which might lower
the cost. The current facility is serviceable and can continue in use; the re-

Contract Awards / Change Orders
9. Action on Resolution No. 95-11, a Resolution awarding the contract
for the Airport Building Addition Project, 2011-03 BLD.
This project entails work for the general construction of a 30’ x 46’ addition to the west
side of the City of Brookings Airport Rescue & Fire Fighting building located at 509 West
2nd Street South. This project was bid as a lump sum project and involves earthwork, cast
in place concrete, rough carpentry, overhead metal doors, asphalt shingles, siding, floor
drains, and electrical work. The new garage bay will house the airport snow removal
equipment, which is currently being stored in the Airport’s storage shed located outside of
airport property on the north side of 2nd Street South.
The bids were mailed to several local contractors and the bid letting was held on August
2, 2011. The City received the following bid:
Clark Drew Construction, Inc., Brookings, SD $93,000.00
This project was originally budgeted at $80,000 for construction in 2010. The project was
delayed until 2011 after the decision was made on the location of the future airport
expansion. Due to upcoming future airport projects, we would like to proceed with this
building expansion project this year before the major reconstruction work begins. The
additional funding needed can be covered in the existing airport budget by the following:
• After discussion with the low bidder, the City and Contractor feel a material
substitution could be made for the interior wall covering which would reduce the
cost of the project by approximately $4,500. This material substitution would be
presented to the City Council on an upcoming change order deduction.
• The Airport budget has funds available from the line item for runway
improvements this year as the runway painting prices were very favorable and the
crack repair needed this year is not extensive. This line item would cover the
additional funds needed; approximately $8,500.
By utilizing the airport budget as described above, the City recommends awarding the
contract to Clark Drew Construction Co., Inc. of Brookings, SD for the low bid of
$93,000.

10. Ordinance No. 13-11: An ordinance rezoning the west 1,115 feet of
the east 1,338 feet of the north 1,409 feet, excluding Lot C, Christie
Addition and Outlots A, 1A, B, and 1B thereof; and the west 1,085
feet of the east 1,342 feet of the south 193 feet of the north 1,608
feet all in the NW¼ of Section 2-T109N-R50W from an A
Agricultural District to a Residence R-3 District (20th Street South
and Main Avenue South area).
Applicant: Dean Christie/Oakwood Equity Group
Proposal: Rezone approximately 38 acres for high-density residential development
Background: This land was annexed into the city in March 2011. All the land is currently
undeveloped. The Future Land Use Plan has designated a residential use for this parcel.
Adjacent land abutting Main Avenue South has been planned for commercial zoning but
would remain in the Ag District at this time.
Surrounding land uses include low-density residential to the north and medium and high-
density residential to the west. However, the west side is planned for single-family
detached homes according to the preliminary plat. Land to the south is outside the city
limits and is currently farmed.
Specifics: The Residence R-3 District allows for a mix of residential densities. The district
regulations indicate the variety of uses allowed. Developers often prefer the R-3 District
because it gives them flexibility in creating smaller or variable lot sizes within an area even
if the plan is for single-family dwellings. You may recall that we developed an R-1C District
last year that provided an option for establishing single-family dwellings on lots with only
50 feet of frontage and 7,500 square feet of area. The preliminary plans for this area show
a lower-density concept for the south 2/3 of the parcel.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 2 yes and 4 no to recommend not
approving the original rezoning request. A 2/3rds majority of the full membership of the
Council would be required to overturn the Commission and approve the original request.
The Commission voted 6 yes and 0 no to recommend rezoning a portion of the land as
stated in the ordinance. A simple majority vote by those Councilors present and voting
would be required to concur with this recommendation.

SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #5 – Jason Peterson, of Civil Design Inc., stated that the plan for the north area had changed.
The proposal would involve seven 16-unit apartment buildings with detached, perimeter garages.
Wayne Wagner, representing Oakwood Equity Group, stated that changes to the housing market
regarding home mortgages could cause people to rent first. Their plan was to establish high-
density housing on the north end and create lower residential densities as they moved south. The
first phase would be the apartment complex since only the north end had access to sanitary
sewer facilities.
Wagner noted that the buildings would have a two-story design for center units and a one-story
design for the end units. Perimeter garages on the north would be set down so only ½ of the wall
would show towards the street. Landscaping and parking exceeded the minimum requirements.
He added that a second phase would involve 4-plexes south of the apartment complex.
John Mills, an adjacent property owner, felt the corner properties with the two homes and some
additional land should be reserved for future commercial zoning. He recommended that enough
land be zoned now so it could be property developed. He noted that additional right-of-way along
City of Brookings
August 9, 2011
40
Main Avenue South and the required buffer zones between residential and business districts
should be taken into consideration since they would reduce the developable area. Peterson
remarked that their plan called for a 27 foot setback between the garages and the east lot line.
Some of this land could be rezoned in the future.
Neighbors to the north of 20th Street South were concerned about drainage. Wagner said he was
aware of their issues, and his project would be designed to take as much drainage as possible. This
water would be directed around the apartment complex. The water within the complex would go
to a detention pond along the south side.
Heuton asked how the planned drainage swale and landscaping plan would work. Peterson stated
that drain tile would allow the land to stay dry. Wagner added that they had designed a 30 foot
setback into the project to facilitate a “trickle flow” and still be able to handle a large storm event.
Fargen inquired if the original land use plan was similar to this one. Hanson replied that high-
density was always proposed in the north end, but the density was lower on the original plan.
Heuton felt that rezoning the entire area now could be premature. DeKraai asked for options.
Hanson remarked that developers have favored the flexibility offered by the R-3 regulations since
one-family, two-family, and apartments can be built under those regulations. There are other
districts that could provide similar densities without the high-density component. He added that
private covenants have been used in other recently developed subdivisions to control density too.
Wagner stated their core product was affordable, energy efficient homes. He felt the R-3 was
appropriate, and the property’s value would be controlled by the density allowed, and the
development’s design. Heuton asked if Wagner was open to phased zoning. Wagner replied yes,
as long as it did not impact the development timetable.
Mills reiterated his concern that not enough land was set aside in the corner for a future business
use. Wagner remarked that he would be willing to come back to the Planning Commission and
rezone a portion of land in this area if the apartment complex plan worked out.

Second Readings / Public Hearings
11. Public hearing and action on Resolution No. 97-11, a Resolution
amending the Vision 2020 Comprehensive Plan, pertaining to the
Future Land Use Plan.
Proposal: Expand commercial district boundaries along 6th Street on the Future Land Use
Map
Background: The south campus neighborhood has generated considerable discussion over
the last few months. Land use data, the resident questionnaire, and various land use
scenarios have been presented.
Based on that information, certain changes to the Comprehensive Plan may be
appropriate. The Future Land Use Map was developed in conjunction with the policies
established in the plan. A major focus has continued to be the “clustering” of commercially
zoned land near major intersections.
Specifics: The proposed expansion areas are extensions of existing Business B-2 Districts.
The area adjacent to Medary Avenue would add 1.5 acres to the district. The area along
14th Avenue would add two (2) acres in an area that could be a candidate for an urban
renewal project. It is also near a high population area on the SDSU campus.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 2 yes and 4 no to recommend that
the Future Land Use Map not be updated as proposed. A 2/3rds majority of the full
membership of the Council would be required to overrule the Planning Commission and
approve the amendments.

MOTION FAILED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #7 – Hanson provided the Commission with various data regarding the south campus neighborhood.
This information had been discussed at several previous meetings. Two areas in the neighborhood had
been proposed for commercial use on the Future Land Use Map.
DeKraai remarked that some individuals in the neighborhood felt that additional commercial land was
more desirable than having more apartment construction. Bailey inquired about SDSU’s intentions for 13th
Avenue compared to the proposed plan for 14th Avenue. Hanson responded that there were major
differences between the quality of homes and stability of the areas even though they were only a block
apart. Bailey wondered if a commercial use on 14th Avenue would negatively impact 13th Avenue
properties. Hanson felt that any commercial project would need to be regulated through aesthetic
controls.
Heuton favored protecting street corridors in regards to aesthetics. He was concerned that commercial
developments have adequate green space and trees. He did not support changing the Future Land Use Plan
at this time. Bailey felt that affordable housing in the form of older homes should be retained. He did not
think there was an abundant supply now.
The Commission discussed how areas could be developed and how the zoning ordinance could be
modified or used in controlling various aspects of projects. The zoning ordinance has standard and overlay
districts that could be applied to rezoning changes.
DeKraai noted that future expansion by SDSU into the neighborhood would eliminate any control of the
land through zoning. She felt that if there were an opportunity to direct changes through zoning, the
Commission should consider it. Fargen felt a long range plan for the neighborhood was important. He
suggested having conversations with residents in the area to get their input.

6/14/11: Open Forum (RECONSIDERATION REQUEST). Sherry Fuller Bordewyk, Steve
Eliason, Nancy Bohlen, Mildred K. Hugghins, Bruce Willcock, Pam Merchant, and Jeff Fischer asked that the
City Council reconsider its May 24th action to award an on-off sale malt beverage license and video lottery
license to Gas ‘N Mor based on concerns for safety, on-site alcohol consumption and increased traffic.
Steve Britzman, City Attorney, clarified this was the last opportunity for a reconsideration
motion. Reconsideration must occur at the next regular city council meeting. There is no
procedure for any later consideration.
A motion was made by Thorpe, seconded by Bezdichek, to reconsider the video lottery action for
Gas ‘N Mor. Discussion: Council discussion included allowing more time for discussion on this topic and
more review of options, evaluation of a video lottery strategy, review of the recent court findings and the
city’s current role in video lottery placement, existing video lottery establishments on neighborhoods,
potential alley vacation, review of applicant’s qualifications including zoning and current licenses, and
aesthetics. On the motion to reconsider: Niemeyer, Reed, Thorpe and Corbett voted yes;
Bezdichek, Kubal and McClemans voted no, motion carried.

6/28/11: Video Lottery. The City Council requested additional review of the state and local video
lottery laws, policies and procedures. The City Attorney noted the city no longer has any authority to
make license placement decisions for businesses with on-sale liquor. The only restriction options available
are to limit the number issued to on-off sale malt and on-off sale wine license holders or by the location.
The city currently has an ordinance which only allows 20 on-off sale malt and on-off wine establishments
to have video lottery. No changes to the ordinance were proposed.
6/28/11: Resolution No. 77-11. A motion was made by Thorpe, seconded by Niemeyer, to
approve Resolution No. 77-11, a Resolution establishing a policy pertaining to reconsideration actions. All

13. Discussion regarding Restaurant Liquor License Fees.
Pursuant to the special City Council meeting held on August 3rd and direction
from the July 26th City Council meeting, you expressed a public policy intent
to establish the fee for the restaurant alcohol license. You currently have
one “population” license remaining to be distributed if you wish, and pending
the determination of the restaurant license fee, that could be issued as well.
As you know, there is no statutory limit on the number of such restaurant
licenses although the City Council could establish limits if you so choose.
In addition to the two applicants that were rejected for the population liquor
operating agreements on July 26th, we have received applications for the
remaining population license from Whiskey Creek Wood Fire Grill &
Steakhouse which is on this agenda, and from Buffalo Wild Wings which is on
the agenda for August 23rd.
Attached is an amendment to the current City Ordinance No. 30-08 which
establishes a fee for a restaurant license which was struck down by the
courts. The amendment deletes the previous fee of $1 per capita and the
replacement amount needs to be added. (Section g-3-c) At the time of
preparing this memo, staff has yet to determine a recommendation, but
expect to have one by the Council meeting.
The other amendment is a technical correction amendment which deletes the
non-smoking requirement which is duplicative because state law now
requires this so it is not necessary in this ordinance.

Ordinance No. 30-08 XX-11
An Ordinance Establishing Procedure for the Issuance and Regulation of On-

a. Definitions of Terms:
Terms used in this ordinance mean:
(1) “Bar,” any permanently installed counter within the restaurant area from
which alcoholic beverages are regularly served to customers by a person
who is tending bar or drawing or mixing alcoholic beverages;
(2) “Full-service restaurant,” any restaurant at which a waiter or waitress
delivers food and drink offered from a printed food menu to patrons at
tables, booths, or the bar. Any restaurant that only serves fry orders or
food such as sandwiches, hamburgers, or salads is not a full-service
restaurant;
(3) “Restaurant,” any area in a building maintained, advertised, and held out to
the public as a place where individually priced meals are prepared and
served primarily for consumption in such area and where not more than
forty percent of the gross revenue of the restaurant is derived from the
sale of alcohol or alcoholic beverages. The restaurant shall have a dining
room or rooms, a kitchen, and the number and kinds of employees
necessary for the preparing, cooking, and serving of meals.
b. License Application Requirements:
Documentation: An applicant for a full-service restaurant on-sale license shall
provide sufficient documentation to the municipality with an application form
provided by the municipality to prove that the primary source of revenue from the
operation of the restaurant will be derived from the sale of prepared food and
nonalcoholic beverages and not from the sale of alcoholic beverages. The
supporting documentation concerning the primary source of revenue submitted
pursuant to this section is confidential.
c. Annual Reports:
The full-service restaurant on-sale licensee shall submit an annual report and
supporting documentation to the City on forms provided by the City of the annual
sales of the full-service restaurant, which includes an oath verifying the validity of
the information provided in the report. The report and the supporting
documentation submitted pursuant to this section are confidential. The report shall
contain the annual gross sales of the licensee for the following two categories:
(i) Food and nonalcoholic beverage sales; and
(ii) Alcoholic beverages sales.
City of Brookings
August 9, 2011
69
d. License Renewals:
When renewing a full-service restaurant on-sale license, the City shall condition the
license renewal upon receiving documentation that not more than forty percent of
gross sales from the preceding twelve months operation of the full-service
restaurant is derived from the sale of alcohol or alcoholic beverages.
e. Only Retail, On-Sale Service Permitted:
A full-service restaurant on-sale licensee may only serve alcoholic beverages for
on-premise consumption in the bar and dining room area of the restaurant.
f. Smoking Prohibited:
No licensee that has a full-service restaurant on-sale license may allow smoking on
the licensed premises.
g. Full-Service Restaurant License Fees:
(1) As required by State law, the license fee charged for a full-service restaurant on-
sale license shall be at or above the current fair market value for such license as
determined herein. However, any fair market value so established shall be a
minimum of one dollar for each person residing within the City as measured by the
last preceding decennial federal census.
(2) The license fee shall be initially established by Resolution within ninety (90) days of
the initial adoption of this ordinance. Subsequent changes in the license fee shall
not be made for a period of ten (10) years from the effective date of adoption of
this ordinance unless a population growth reported by the Federal decennial
census requires an increase in the fee.
(3) Fair Market Value for full-service restaurant license shall be established as follows:
(a) Within 90 days of the effective date of this ordinance and as
required by State statute, each licensee within the City who owns an on-
sale license issued pursuant to SDCL 35-4-2 (4) or (6) as of January 1, 2008,
and who purchased the license or had the license transferred to such
licensee at anytime between January 1, 2003, and January 1, 2008, shall
report the amount originally paid for the on-sale license to the City of
Brookings City Manager on forms provided by the City. Any form
submitted pursuant to this provision shall be signed under oath and shall
include the documents establishing the amount originally paid for the on-
sale license. If the transaction for the purchase of the on-sale license
included real or personal property, the full market value of the real or
personal property on the date of the original sale shall be deducted from
the total transaction price to determine the amount paid by the licensee for
the on-sale license. The burden of establishing the amount paid for the
license shall be on the licensee. Any licensee contesting the fair market
value of the real or personal property may appeal the valuation adopted by
the City to circuit court.
City of Brookings
August 9, 2011
70
(b) For purposes of this section, the term, “Current Fair Market Value”
means the documented price of the on-sale license most recently sold
between January 1, 2003, and January 1, 2008, through an arm’s length
transaction, less the value of any real or personal property included within
the transaction.
(c) In the event it is determined that under SDCL Chapter 35-4, no on-
sale license has been purchased or transferred because such licenses are
not transferable in a local option community, but may only be subject to an
Operating Agreement, then the license fee shall nonetheless be set at or
above the minimum of One ($1.00) dollar for each person residing within
the City as measured by the last preceding decennial federal census.
.
h. Registry of Full-Service Restaurant On-sale Licensees:
The City shall maintain a registry of each full-service on-sale restaurant license that
is being offered for sale and the City shall furnish a copy of the registry to anyone
who requests a new-full service restaurant on-sale license. The existing full-service
restaurant on-sale licensee is responsible for registering with the City that the full-
service restaurant on-sale license is for sale.
i. Issuance of new Full-Service Restaurant Licenses restricted:
The City may only issue a new license pursuant to this ordinance if no on-sale
license is on the registry or a person desiring to purchase an on-sale license listed
on the registry provides documentation showing that the person is unable to
purchase the on-sale license at the price established in section g of this ordinance
and on terms satisfactory to both the potential buyer and seller. The price of any
on-sale license registered as “for sale” with the City shall be sold at the current fair
market price set by the City pursuant to a Resolution adopted in accordance with
section g (2) of this ordinance.
II.
Any or all ordinances in conflict herewith are hereby repealed.

less than the minimum on-sale license fee provided for in subdivision 35-4-2(4) or (6). For
purposes of this section, the term, current fair market value, means the documented price of the
on-sale license most recently sold between January 1, 2003, and January 1, 2008, through an
arm's-length transaction, less the value of any real or personal property included in the
transaction. Each on-sale license holder as of January 1, 2008, who acquired the on-sale license
within the last five years shall report to the municipality or county the date and price paid for its
on-sale license. If there are no documented sales of on-sale licenses between January 1, 2003, and
January 1, 2008, the municipality or county may request from any on-sale license holder within
the municipality or county, the date and price originally paid for its on-sale license to determine
the current fair market value.

adopting an ordinance pursuant to § 35-4-111 shall maintain a registry of each on-sale license that
is being offered for sale at the price established in § 35-4-117 and furnish a copy of the registry to
anyone who requests a new full-service restaurant on-sale license. The municipality or county may
only issue a new license pursuant to §§ 35-4-110 to 35-4-120, inclusive, if no on-sale license is on
the registry or a person desiring to purchase an on-sale license listed on the registry provides
documentation showing that the person is unable to purchase the on-sale license at the price
established in § 35-4-117 and on terms satisfactory to both the potential buyer and seller. The
price of any on-sale license registered as, for sale, with the municipality or county shall be sold at
the current fair market price set by the municipality or county pursuant to § 35-4-117. Nothing in
§§ 35-4-110 to 35-4-120, inclusive, precludes the sale of an on-sale license by a licensee not listed

35-4-120. Certain licensees to report amount paid for other licenses--Objection to
report--Hearing--Appeal. Upon the adoption of an ordinance pursuant to § 35-4-111, any
person who purchased an on-sale license issued pursuant to subdivision 35-4-2(4) or (6) between
January 1, 2003, and January 1, 2008, and who owned the license on January 1, 2008, shall report
to the municipality or county that issued the license the amount paid for the license. If the
municipality or county that issued the on-sale license adopts an ordinance pursuant to § 35-4-111,
and requests from any other licensee the amount originally paid for any other on-sale license
pursuant to § 35-4-117, the licensee shall report that amount to the municipality or county. The
declared purchase price shall be made under oath and shall include the documents establishing the
amount paid for the on-sale license. If the transaction included other personal property or real
property, the full market value of such property on the date of the transaction shall be deducted
from the total purchase price to establish the amount paid for the license. The person who
owned the license on January 1, 2008, has the burden of establishing the amount paid for the
license. If the amount reported is used to determine current fair market value pursuant to § 35-4-
117, any licensee who contends that the amount does not accurately reflect the fair market value
of the license on the date of purchase may file an objection to the report. The objection shall be
filed with the municipality or county within thirty days of the date the license fee is set pursuant
to § 35-4-116. If an objection is filed, the governing board of the municipality or county shall
conduct a hearing to determine the fair market value of the license. The determination of the
governing board may be appealed to circuit court.

City Council Policy
Liquor Operating Agreements
Adopted August 13, 2001
The City of Brookings is the holder of State Liquor Licenses for the sale of alcoholic beverages.
The City of Brookings enters into operating agreements with business owners permitting them to
sell alcoholic beverages purchased from the City. The City of Brookings established a policy for
the consideration of additional operating agreements with the City. The policy establishes the
criteria for applying for an available, but un-issued operating agreement. This addition to
that policy will clarify the City Council‘s policy on the consideration of changes in existing
operating agreements.
1. It is not the City‘s intention to allow operating agreements to be sold.
2. It is not the City‘s intention to have issued operating agreements be unused by the
manager. Failure to use the agreement will be grounds for termination by the City.
The city manager will report any inactive operating agreements to the City Council
to consider the circumstances and for appropriate action.
3. Operating agreements are not assignable or transferable to another person or
location by the named manager; only the City Council can assign or transfer an
agreement to another person or location.
4. The purchaser of an establishment holding an operating agreement must apply for
an assignment of that operating agreement. It is the City‘s intent to allow an
assignment of an operating agreement to an applicant that passes the “character of
the applicant” requirement as a new owner of an existing business in the same
location.
5. The owner of an establishment holding an operating agreement must apply for an
assignment of that operating agreement if there is a desire to move the business to
a different location. It is the City‘s intent to allow an assignment of an operating
agreement to a new location providing the location is suitable, “second tier
criteria” is considered and the business identity is the same as in the initial
application.
6. Unless the circumstances are as described in number 4 and 5 above, it is not the
City‘s intent to allow the assignment of an operating agreement from one business
to another or one location to another. In these instances, an application for a new
operating agreement is necessary.

Policy Establishing Criteria
for the Issuance of Additional
On-sale Liquor Licenses
South Dakota Codified Laws (SDCL) limit the maximum number of on-sale liquor licenses and
provides criteria for the issuance of licenses.
Maximum Number of on-sale licenses
SDCL 35-4-11 provides in part: The number of on-sale licenses issued may not exceed three
each for the first one thousand of population or fraction thereof and not exceed one each of
such licenses for each additional one thousand five hundred of population or fraction thereof.
The quotas established in this section do not apply to malt beverage retailers.
SDCL 35-4-1 defines ―population‖ as the number of inhabitants as determined by the last
preceding federal census. A 1939 Attorney General Opinion states that “preliminary census
Bulletins” are official.
Criteria for Issuance of Alcoholic Beverage Licenses
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.”
The City of Brookings is anticipating that the 2000 census will count a population of at least
17,501 people, allowing one additional On-Sale Liquor License. The population may increase by
2,731 which would allow two additional On-Sale Liquor Licenses.
Several business people have expressed a desire to obtain an on-sale license when it becomes
available. With this knowledge, the City Council of the City of Brookings desires to establish
criteria for the issuance of licenses over the current fifteen issued. Currently, the fifteen license
holders are:

14. Skinner‘s On-Sale
15. Bravo‘s On-Sale
16. Elks Club Club
17. VFW Club Club
SDCL and case law support the premise that the decision to issue an alcoholic beverage license
is discretionary. Therefore, the City of Brookings hereby establishes a two-tiered process to
evaluate on-sale liquor applications. The first tier will 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 will 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.
The City will check for compliance with the State requirement that the “character of the
applicant” be acceptable. Upon finding evidence that the character of the applicant is acceptable
and the location suitable, the City Council will consider second tier criteria. This process can
include examining the best location for economic and tourism development, the best ancillary
uses (restaurant, etc.) developed with the sale of liquor, the best location in accordance with
the city long-range plan, the size of the facility, parking facilities, closeness to existing
supplementing businesses and activities deemed important by the City Council.
