Kubal, Mike McClemans, Mike Bartley, Jael Thorpe and Tom Bezdichek. City Manager Jeff

First Planning District Annual Update. Todd Kays, Executive Director for First Planning
District, gave an update on activities from 2009 and plans for 2010.
Brookings Economic Development Corporation analysis regarding proposed Swiftel
Center Expansion, Second Penny Funds, and Economic Development efforts. The
following is a summary of Al Heuton, BEDC Executive Director, gave a presentation on the
Visitor Industry Strategy; BEDC Perspective -BEDC Mission: To build an economy that supports
the community’s vision of a quality place to live, work, and play. BEDC’s focus is the
development of primary or base industry. This includes existing industry retention/expansion,
creating new industry (entrepreneur development) and industry recruitment.
The BEDC/Chamber/CVB/Events Economic Development Strategy Overview: August, 2009
Community Vision: Physical, Economic and Social.
Development Principles. 1) Primary objectives include: population maintenance and growth,
wealth Creating, economic diversity, amenity development, high quality resources and
community character, and significant, but low impact change. 2) Organizing to Succeed would
include: a well-orchestrated effort enlisting the cooperation of numerous interests, a high level
communication between community leaders, a high level of community awareness and
engagement, an effort focused on opportunity, big impact ideas and initiatives, strategic targeted
investments of public and private resources, and developing new business industry and
community leaders.
Development Scenarios include: Boomer Town, Tech-Know Hotspot, Production Powerhouse
Common Elements. 1) Amenity Development: retail and dining, niche business/Service
development, year-round recreation facilities, activity – more to do than time allows, and
community quality, aesthetics, physical design. 2) Awareness Development: image development
and marketing, Legislative/Bureaucratic action, contact development. 3) Business & Industry
Support: Industry Growth Sector Analysis, land for development, quality infrastructure,
incentive development, business training, business marketing, entrepreneur development, and
local/global connectivity. 4) Population Growth: affordable variety of housing, workforce
development and recruitment, people attraction (SDSU Students, young families, alumni), empty
nesters and retirees, and visitors.
Coordinated Delivery Approach. BEDC, Chamber, CVB, and Events co-located offices serve
as: 1) Information clearing house / central information center, 2) Referrals – consumer to
business/business to business, 3) Coordinated visitor program – recruitment, hosting,
promotion of local amenities, services, and retail/dining. 4) Notify business community of future
24
City Council Packet
November 23, 2010
scheduled events – assists with staffing, sales promotions, marketing, etc., and 5) Include a
Brookings Community Guide in convention bags – approx. 10,000 per year. The guide includes
retail and dining lists, and coupon style advertisements.
More recently devoting more effort to utilize the visitor industry to: 1) Create opportunities
to market the community to people and businesses, and 2) Recruit conferences that build
awareness of Brookings related to our Comprehensive Economic Development Strategy.
Visitor Industry Primary Goal: Generate a positive economic impact for the community.
Specified Desired Outcomes: 1) Create Awareness of Brookings to people (Youth, future
SDSU students, workforce, retires) and business/industry. 2) Quality of Life Enhancement with
amenity development and things to do. 3) Sales Tax Generation from tournaments, events,
conferences and conventions, and tourists.
How does the Swiftel Center proposal / HVS Research overlap with BEDC’s economic
development strategy?
Event demands is projected to grow in three areas: 1) Meetings and Conferences – 20 events,
2) Conventions and Trade Shows – 17 events, and 3) Banquets – 35 events.
Conferences and conventions of most interest to BEDC are those that have a direct
correlation to our economic growth strategy. For example, conferences related to industry
growth areas that would bring business contacts to the community.
A need exists for high quality/state-of-the-art meeting space attached to a hotel with restaurant
to be competitive in the recruitment process.
In a perfect world a quality meeting / conference facility would include: 1) ballroom, breakout
rooms, amphitheater seating, 2) technology – mounted projection equipment, smart boards,
mimio boards, wikis, wireless access, etc., 3) motel, 4) full-Service Restaurant, 5) high quality
internal/external environment, 6) location within walking distance of things to do during
breaks/evening.
How much of the total Third Penny Tax Generation is attributable to the visitor industry?
Several factors contribute to the increase in 3rd penny taxable sales: increase in households,
increase in number of SDSU Students, increase in the number of commuting workers, increase
in day visitors, and increase in overnight visitors, restaurant choice, and consumer habit
changes.
Conclusions: 1) More detailed information on visitor attendance, travel, and spending habits
would be useful. Regardless of the lack of information at this stage, the visitor industry is an
important component of the community’s development strategy. 2) Short-term gain is
important. The visitor industry easily represents a multi-million dollar industry for the
community. 3) Intermediate gain produces additional benefits in terms of resident attraction
25
City Council Packet
November 23, 2010
and leakage reduction. 4) However, the longer term impacts that could be derived through a
strategic use of visitor promotions funding and efforts is clearly much greater in terms of a
coordinated approach that can assist future workforce and industry growth or recruitment. 5)
High quality conference space and a conference management program would contribute to this
longer term goal.
Review of Snow Removal Policy. The City Council discussed current snow removal policies
and procedures. Topics discussed included use and timing of snow bans, dividing the town into
zones, emergency route clearance priority, increased public education, challenges of consistency,
ticketing and towing, unusual snow fall years, plow times and downtown snow removal
responsibilities and options. No action was taken or further direction was given.
City Council Member Introduction of Topics for Future Discussion. Thorpe asked

development plan and how it ties in with what the BEDC is already doing and make sure all are
following same goals and unified approach.

2010 Strategic Plan
City of Brookings, South Dakota
1) Airport Site Selection
Following the approval of the Environmental Assessment (EA) by the Federal Aviation
Commission (FAA) on the dual-track site selection process, the City Council will need to
determine the future of the Brookings Municipal Airport (BKX). The dual-track site selection
considers (A) a runway re-alignment leaving the airport at the current location or (B) re-
location of the airport to a site located in Trenton Township.
Action Steps:
-Receive approval from the FAA of the EA.
-Schedule and hold the required 45-day comment period on the EA.
-Schedule and hold optional public open houses or other hearings on the EA.
-Conduct the FAA-required public hearing on the EA.
-Airport Board makes recommendation to City Council on preferred site.
-City Council makes a final decision on preferred site.
-Staff begins preparations for Airport Layout Plan (ALP) on selected site.
UPDATE: The final site selection could be completed by year-end if the Council so
desires. A possible decision could be made at a December meeting. All of the above
action steps have been completed except for the initiation of the Airport Layout Plan
(ALP) on the selected site. This step could have been initiated if the EA would have
been approved by the FAA sooner.

wide transportation plan has been initiated and will be completed sometime during mid-
2011. Public support and lobbying for the project continues. Communications with
state legislators, federal legislators, and state transportation officials is on-going. The
final action step for Phase II was not started pending the outcome of the transportation
plan but it is expected to be an action step for next year.
3) Swiftel Expansion Project Decision Analysis
This project proposes to expand and modify the Swiftel Event Center with a $7-8 million
improvement project by converting the existing meeting facilities into a comprehensive and
expanded conference/meeting facility. The project will require the adjacent development of a
hotel.
Action Steps:
-Identify, negotiate, and develop multiple options with private hoteliers for hotel development.
-Analyze the options for hotel development.
--Select the best option.
--Commence plans for construction.
-OR-
-Reject all hotel options and terminate the expansion project.
-Consider upgrade/improvement needs of the facility without the conference center.
UPDATE: Efforts to attract a hotel were underway but had not yet produced any viable
options by the time the City Council cancelled the project and removed it from the
strategic plan. As a result, the third action step was executed. The fourth action step
of considering upgrade improvements was done and continues in conjunction with the
annual capital improvement process in a scaled-back scenario.
4) Construction of City/County Government Center
This project involves the construction of a joint administrative government center for city and
county functions located on Third Street between Fifth and Sixth Avenues.
Action Steps:
-Complete property acquisition process closing on properties by June 1.
-Contract with architect.
-Contract with construction manager.
-Develop preliminary plan for Police Dept. modifications to City Hall.
-Adopt Joint Powers Agreement; establish JP Board.
-Initiate Historic Review Case Study on site.
-Contract with demolition contractor for site clearance and demolition by July 1.
-Undertake Schematic Design (SD) architectural phase.
-Hold public open houses and solicit community input on exterior schematic design.
-Undertake Design Development (DD) architectural phase.
-Undertake Construction Document (CD) architectural phase.

-Advertise for bids. (depends upon adopted schedule)
UPDATE: All action steps of this goal were completed except for the last two,
development of construction documents and advertising for bids. These items will be
undertaken in 2011due to the schedule and timing of previous steps.
Tier 2 Construction Projects
A) Main Avenue Railroad Safety Crossing Improvement Project
Install crossing gates and other safety improvements on the DM & E/CP railroad crossing at
Main Avenue. This is the first year of a phased, multi-year plan to install safety enhancements at
all railroad crossings with the State DOT at one per year. Long-range improvements will
consider a grade separation or railroad by-pass.
UPDATE: The planning/engineering work was initiated but installation of gates will
be delayed until 2011 due to the unanticipated complexity of the project involving
the realignment of Front Street. This item provides for DOT funding of subsequent
crossing gates on a schedule of one per year.
B) Storm Drainage Infrastructure Improvements
Construction of Project Priorities #1 and #2 of the Storm Drainage Master Plan; undertake
preliminary planning for Project Priority #3.
UPDATE: Projects #1 and #2 were completed with the minor exception of some
landscaping on Project #2 which was planned to extend into 2011. Engineering
work began on Project #3 as well as project #4 which was not envisioned in this
plan.
C) Nature Park Improvement Project
Initiate and complete the Master Plan for the Nature Park project with approvals from the ad
hoc committee, Park & Recreation Board, and City Council. Depending upon plan completion
date, initiate construction of Nature Park improvements.
UPDATE: This project was completed and adopted. Design work has been initiated
for Phase I construction.
D) SDSU Innovation Campus Infrastructure Project
Complete the street and utility improvement project at the Innovation Campus.
UPDATE: This project was completed.
Tier 3 Policy Development Projects (Prioritized in descending order)
1. Hospital governance and community health care alignment issues
45
City Council Packet
November 23, 2010
UPDATE: The Council discussed this issue several times but no specific policy
initiatives have been advanced. Increased activity and financial reporting
communication processes from BHS (as well as BMU) were put in place.
2. Re-packaging/updating of various economic development and related plans
UPDATE: The Council discussed this issue several times and conducted self-
assessment of economic development initiatives with information provided by the
NLC. BEDC continues to update and improve the integration of the various
economic development plans.
3. Development plan for entry corridor improvements on 6th Street
UPDATE: Detailed planning work has continued with the assistance of two
landscape architects involving signature architectural features as well as signage at
strategic locations. This project has been spearheaded by a community task force so
it not exclusively a City project, nor has the City acted as the project manager. The
task force is currently narrowing design considerations and working with DOT
officials where state right-of-way is concerned. Construction could occur in
2011depending upon task force progress.
4. Capitalize on opportunities to purchase land for economic development
UPDATE: This project was completed with the purchase of the Foster farm. The
City’s current inventory of available land for commercial-industrial development
includes the Weise Business Park, Svennes Industrial Park, Foster Industrial Park,
and one remaining parcel in the Telkamp Industrial Park. In aggregate, these areas
consist of 164 acres which should serve our market for many years to come.
5. Study feasibility of south fire station location to improve response time
UPDATE: This staff analysis is nearing completion and a report will be presented to
the City Council on December 14.
6. Neighborhood parking issues; action on ad hoc parking committee report
UPDATE: This goal is the subject of a task force that has met many times during
the year. They have advanced one ordinance regulating parking so far.
7. Community sustainability issues
UPDATE: An ad hoc committee representing a broad cross-section of the community has
held two meetings to help identify and define local sustainability issues with the end goal of
creating a Brookings Sustainability Council. The group is scheduled to hold one additional
meeting to review the draft Sustainability Council’s Charter document. Formal creation by
ordinance and volunteer appointments are planned for early 2011.
8. Consideration of PAC II funding request
UPDATE: This item was intentionally delayed by the Council until more financial
information was determined relative to the cost of the airport solution. It remains a
priority consideration.

8. Ordinance No. 38-10: An ordinance amending the Zoning
Ordinance of the City of Brookings and pertaining to Small Wind
Energy Conversion Systems (SWECS) for the purposes of
administration of the Zoning Ordinance.
Public Hearing: December 14th
** No vote is taken on the first reading of an Ordinance. The title of the
Ordinance is read and the date for the public hearing is announced.
Proposal: Create regulations pertaining to the use, design, construction, and placement
of small wind turbines.
Background: Staff has been researching the various aspects of wind energy conversion
systems for three years or more. Ordinances have bee adopted across the country,
including South Dakota, that permit the use of wind turbines that supplement energy
costs for residential, commercial, and industrial uses. The majority of the ordinances are
written by counties for large rural wind energy conversion systems similar to Buffalo
Ridge.
Specifics: The ordinance proposed for the City of Brookings pertains only to small wind
energy conversion systems or SWECS. The major elements of the ordinance involve the
following:
Districts – A SWECS is a conditional use in the I-1and I-2 Industrial Zones only.
Definitions – Terms specific to the industry and a wind turbine structure are listed.
Permits
• Application process for a conditional use is detailed.
• Application process for a building permit is detailed.
Design – These characteristics are very similar to other tower regulations except for
noise and certain mechanical features.
Additional requirements – This section includes miscellaneous aspects commonly
regulated by other jurisdictions. Section D.2. is related to the fact that South Dakota
currently does not have a policy to allow individuals with solar or wind generators to
sell the power back into the grid at fair rates.
Setbacks – The setbacks simply refer to the “fall radius” of a tower.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 9 yes and 0 no to recommend
approval of the zoning amendments.

pertaining to wind energy conversion systems.
(Cameron/Heuton) Motion to approve the amendments. All present voted aye.
MOTION CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #8 – Hanson summarized the specific elements of the ordinance. The draft had not been
modified since the original review. DeKraai asked how much citizen interest had been shown
for wind turbines. Hanson replied that only two or three citizens had contacted him. Heuton
asked if a full radius of 1½ times the height of the turbine was too restrictive. Hanson
responded that the number was common in other ordinances but could be reduced. The
distance may have been related to providing a safety zone when a blade or turbine crashed into
the ground.

The budget amendment for the Tax Increment Debt Service Funds is to recognize the revenue
generated by property taxes per tax increment laws. The expense budgeted is estimated
principal and interest on the tax increment debt. The City acts as a pass through for these
activities. We are not liable to pay the debt if the tax increment district does not generate
sufficient taxes to pay the principal and interest due. However the City must recognize the
debt for the tax increment districts when calculating the Cities debt capacity.
The budget amendment for the Innovation Campus Project is recognizing the transfer from the
General Fund to the Innovation Campus in the amount of $1,793,502 and reducing the expense
lines for the project by $1,233,933. The project was bid lower than anticipated and the project
received stimulus dollars which will not have to be paid back.
The City/County Administrative Fund is being amended to recognize the bond proceeds of $6
million and the County reimbursement of expenses in 2010. We are amending the budget to
recognize expenditures within the project fund that are anticipated to be made in 2010.
With the acceptance of the Nature Park Master Plan on August 24th there is a need to create a
capital project for the new Nature Park. The amendment is recognizing the $50,000 transfer
from the General Fund where it was budgeted in 2010. It is also recognizing a donation of
$50,000. For expenses in 2010 we are amending the budget for the design.
In addition to addressing the cash flow issue for the Airport Fund the amendment is reducing
expenses by $118,500 because there will be no law enforcement officers in 2010 to reimburse
and the building budgeted in 2010 for $80,000 will not be built. The airport design for
$250,000 is being pushed out to 2011.
The new trench at the landfill was budgeted to cost $800,000 in 2010. The bid was $1.1 million
and we are adjusting the budget accordingly. We are recognizing the grant received of
$350,000. Expenses for the landfill are also being reduced by $275,000 in 2010. The trommel
screen and the skid steer were pushed to 2011.
The Research and Technology Centers rent is being reduced by $20,000 because of vacancies.
We are also postponing building improvements and reducing the capital expenditure in the
amount of $34,000.

Presentation and possible action on location for Youth Sporting Center/Nature
Park Project. Randy Hansen gave the following PowerPoint presentation on the project
request. “The Outdoor Learning Center (OLC) Charter is a planned nonprofit organization striving to
provide youth, young adults, active seniors, sportsmen, and outdoor enthusiasts of all ages with the
education, skills, and experiences related to our Dakota Heritage.
Center Components include: precision sports and outdoor education, classrooms, conference/meeting
room, office, repair/maintenance and storage areas, concourse/viewing area, bathroom facilities,
changing areas, and lockers.
Development (Community Visioning Approach): Multi-use, shared space with shared operational cost;
planned to have 24-hour adult access by monitored cameras and membership (pass) system for some
areas as allowed by insurance and safety considerations. Range bosses may be required in some areas;
non-member community access to restrooms & changing areas during daylight hours; and special
attention has been given to uniting and advancing educational, recreational, and civic interests while
also promoting tourism and regional event opportunities.
Accomplishes many community goals for the City, Chamber, BEDC, Vision 2010, County & State for
recreation through: 1) establishing regional public/private partnerships, 2) increasing Quality of Life
(indoor 12-month use facility), 3) giving youth, young adults, active seniors and families “something
more to do” (more dynamic community), 4) Economic Development component (promotes growth),
and 5) workforce attraction and retainment component (bundled amenities).
Brookings Park & Recreation Recreational Activities Philosophy and Mission Statement include: 1) to
provide enjoyable recreational activities which enhance the quality of life for participants and volunteer
leaders., 2) to provide recreational opportunities, both competitive and non-competitive, for persons of
all ages at a reasonable expense, and 3) to establish an atmosphere at each sponsored activity which is
supportive of the efforts of each participant and affirms their worth.
Leadership. The OLC is a planned non-profit corporation, to be governed by a board that is responsible
for facilities management (including staffing) with representation from City Parks, County Extension, 4-
H, City Representative, County Representative, and Sportsman Organizations Representation. The
South Dakota 4-H Foundation, Inc. [501c (3) entity] has set up an OLC Fundraising Account.
Beneficiaries and Stakeholders include General: Youth, families, sportsmen, SDSU students, County
personnel, law enforcement, City of Brookings, active seniors, general public and volunteers. Specific:
Youth (4-H, Boy and Girl Scouts, area schools, area youth organizations, County Extension). Others:
Open community (outdoor environment classes, shooting sports programs), County events, City, State

November 23, 2010
Departments (G, F&P), SDSU students, ROTC, local sportsman & their groups such as: Big Sioux
Bowmen, PF, DU, NWTF, RMEF, NRA, Beacon Hill, Gun Club, Brookings Wildlife Association, and Law
Enforcement.
Impact. This facility will serve Eastern South Dakota and Southwest Minnesota, as well as host regional
and state-wide events.
Outdoor Learning Center Objective: Provide an indoor and outdoor teaching and training center for
year round precision sports while also encompassing seasonal outdoor skill development.
Program Skills Learned. Social and group activities with skill development in the following areas: 1)
multi-trail use, “Exploring Your Environment” 4-H series (nature study & ecology), Winter Sports, dog
obedience and showmanship training, canoeing, kayaking and other outdoor skills and fun, 2) Fishing
(summer and ice) and Hunting, and 3) sportsman ethics, hunt safe, archery, air & BB gun, pistol, and
rifle skills.
Safety First. Kathryn Reeves, Youth Development/4-H Specialist SDSU Extension Service, regarding the
SD 4-H Shooting Sports program said that 4-H Shooting Sports is in its 27th year with 0 (zero)
accidents even though the 4-H statewide enrollments have grown to over 2,800 youth participating.
Youth participation averages 4 to 5 years with many staying in the program for 10 years. 4-H Shooting
Sports is an area with a strong group of adult volunteers who typically volunteer for a number of years,
providing stability and constant focus on safety to the program.
Life Skills Learned. 4-H Shooting Sports provides more than safety lessons. “Lessons in life sums it up
pretty well,” states Kathryn Reeves, “We surveyed over 150 participants at the 25th State 4-H Shoot,
and the life lessons they have internalized through this program will influence them long after they give
up target shooting. Youth as young as eight years old sited the shooting sports program as having
helped them to learn to follow rules, concentrate, share, be nice to others and listen. Older youth added
setting goals, discipline, never giving up, teaching others, organization and problem solving.” Teaching:
100% of those surveyed said they knew how to handle their gun or bow safely, and 99% were
confident they could tell a friend how to be safe with a bow or a gun.
Reoccurring Events: Outdoor Adventure Events for all ages (Fishing, Hiking, Canoeing/Kayaking,
Snowshoe/Cross-Country Ski, Mountain Biking, Geocaching, Trail Hiking, “Exploring Your environment”
series, and 4-H Meetings), Sportsmen meeting and training, and Pistol & Archery Leagues.
Facilities. This is proposed to be a 24,420 sq. ft. multi-use facility with classrooms and conference
space, one office, concession area, shooting ranges, bathrooms, changing area and lockers, corridor and
viewing areas. They need a 3.0 acre site on the Nature Park Land for the building, parking and
underground shooting tubes & future expansion.
Projected OLC Cost is an estimated $1.91 million for the building. Breakdown is as follows: building
shell & Mech estimated at $1.16 M, finishes and equipment estimated at $570,000, rifle tubes
estimated at $180,000, and $300,000 endowment for programming.
98
City Council Packet
November 23, 2010
Funding Plan. Funding possibilities for the building, finishes, and equipment include: SD G,F&P Grant
(once land is solidified), NRA Grants, NFAA Grants, Other Grant Sources are being identified, Sportsmen
organizations donations, and Private donors. SD 4-H Foundation will help identify potential givers in the
process, and asking team pursuit once land is solidified. The City and County requires free city land
and county financial support, property tax exempt, and County Sherriff and City Police Memberships.
The Nature Park provides several possible potential locations for the building site.
Impact for Brookings Area. Currently, 800 youth are served through county extension and 4-H
programs and clubs including 100+ youth enrolled in 4-H Shooting Sports. They anticipate over 1,600
attendees for the special events throughout the year. Many will be served through public Nature Park
attendance, Boy and Girl Scouts, area schools, area youth organizations, Open community classes, other
County, City, State Department (G,F&P) events, SDSU students, ROTC, local sportsman & their groups
and Law Enforcement events.
The Economic Impact of Special Events is projected to be over $100,000/year (Projected from data
provided to the CVB.).
Operation and Maintenance Budget. Once built, the initial one-year Business Plan shows the facility will
be self-sustaining through the membership fee structures, event tickets, fundraisers, concessions, 4-H
endowment, and volunteer work hours. They used a balanced budget approach with anticipated
revenues and expenses of $127,000/year. The full 5-year projected business plan will be developed
after land is solidified. Existing City Park & Rec Staff and/or County Extension Staff may occupy the
facility.”
Council Discussion. The Council asked questions about anticipated annual expenses to
maintain the facility, shared uses, shared expenses, storage and handling of firearms, building
size and other needs, other funding sources, future lease agreement contingencies, outside
memberships and anticipated opening date.
A motion was made by Kubal, seconded by Whaley, to recommend dedicating up to three (3)
acres for a long term lease for the outdoor learning center and the final site plan to come back
to the city council for approval.
Discussion: Dave Miller spoke in favor of the proposal and urged the Council to support it.
Whaley was concerned about future expansion and questioned if more acres were needed.
Allyn Frerichs, Park and Recreation Superintendent, said he at this point didn’t know what the
expansion might entail. If this building becomes the focal point for other uses, they could need
more space. He has instructed the consultants to leave space for future expansion.
FRIENDLY AMENDMENT: Whaley made a friendly amendment to change the increase from
three acres to five acres. Kubal agreed to the friendly amendment.
On the motion as amended, to recommend dedicating up to five (5) acres for a long term lease
for the outdoor learning center and the final site plan to come back to the City Council for
approval. All present voted yes; motion carried.

14. Action on Resolution No. 104-10, establishing City of Brookings
2011 Delta Dental Insurance Premium Adjustment.
To: Jeff Weldon, City Manager
City Council
From: Donna Langland, Human Resources Director
Subject: City of Brookings 2011 Dental Insurance Premium Increase
Please review for approval the attached resolution for an increase of the
monthly contribution rate for the City of Brookings Delta Dental Plan
effective January 1, 2011.
The proposed rate change for 2011 health, dental, vision and life insurance
within the 2011 budgeting process was a projected ten (10) percent
increase overall to the employee and the City of Brookings.
The City of Brookings instituted a number of changes last year effective
01/01/2010 to the City of Brookings Health Insurance plan to place more of
a focus on preventative benefits and adjust co-payment amounts within the
pharmacy drug program as well as eliminate the out-of-pocket maximum. In
addition, the City of Brookings Safety/Wellness Committee conducted an
Employee Wellness Survey and in follow-up to the suggestions received,
the committee developed a listing of Employee Wellness Activities and
Participation Incentives for 2010. These wellness activities and incentives
inspired a large number of employees to participate in programs such as the
Mark Your Steps Program (59 participants started the challenge with 33
employees logging 500,000 steps or more each within the 100-day time
frame); and the comprehensive 100-Day Weight Loss Challenge (49
participants weighed in at the beginning/22 weighed in at the end with a
total weight loss of 153.2 lbs). Other programs to include a Holiday
Maintain, No Gain Weight Challenge will begin prior to Thanksgiving and
continue into January; and the Employee Health Fair will offer health
screenings and an opportunity to participate in a Health Risk Assessment,
which is a tool for assessing health risks among City of Brookings
employees.

City Council Packet
November 23, 2010
We are pleased to inform you that the accumulated cash level in the City of
Brookings self-insured health insurance fund as of 10/31/10 was
$1,347,785.10 which is 51% higher than it was on 10/31/09 one year ago.
We feel that placing a focus on wellness over the past year as well as the
changes made within the pharmacy drug program have allowed the City of
Brookings to provide a less volatile self-insured medical trust account for
employees. Based on all these factors, I would like to propose a
recommendation to adjust the projected health insurance premium rate
increase down from 10%, as budgeted, to 0%. The Brookings Municipal
Utilities current accumulated cash level in the self-insured health insurance
fund on 10/31/10 was $2,163,386.06. Therefore, if additional funds were
needed above the dollar amount in the City of Brookings portion of the
medical trust account for claims, we would be able to borrow from BMU
reserves. The City of Brookings medical trust account balance for both
entities combined on 10/31/10 is a record amount of $3,511,171.16 which
we feel places the City of Brookings in a positive position in light of the
upcoming healthcare reform changes effective January 1, 2011. The City of
Brookings currently is under a grandfathered status, which provides us with
protection from a number of changes that other entities will already need
to face in 2011.
Employee health insurance contribution increases and claim history data
since 2001 are as follows:
2001 40% $ 569,800.14
2002 9.1% $ 733,390.51
2003 6.5% $ 994,580.73
2004 5% $ 712,212.75
2005 5% $ 913,207.14
2006 10% $ 1,173,949.07
2007 14% $ 1,312,601.16
2008 15% $ 1,041,894.67
2009 6.5% $ 1,266,005.18
2010 0% $ 860,917.52 (projected)
2011 0% (10% budgeted)
It is our plan to proceed with the 0% increase effective January 1, 2011; and
monitor the 2011 claims experience and medical trust account balance
closely on an ongoing basis to determine if an increase in premium may
need to be instituted for example on July 1, 2011, etc.
101
City Council Packet
November 23, 2010
Based on the current and future union contract language through
December 31, 2012, the City will continue to pay 75% of all categories of
City General employees and 85% for the Public Safety and non-represented
Public Safety employees.
The premium increase for Avesis vision insurance is 0% on 1/1/11 as
guaranteed at renewal in 2010. In addition, we were recently informed by
National Insurance Services that there will not be an increase in life
insurance premiums for plan year 2011.
Based on current and future union contract language through December
31, 2012, the City of Brookings will continue to pay 100% of 1 X annual
salary of life insurance premiums for employees and 75% of the single
premium amount toward all levels of coverage for vision insurance
coverage.
DENTAL INSURANCE PREMIUM RATE INCREASE
RECOMMENDATION
The premium increase announcement from Delta Dental insurance was
4.8% for plan year 2011 even though expenses are running 5.2% higher than
premiums. We were also informed that starting in 2011, Delta Dental is
implementing a Rate Stability Program that rewards long time clients with
caps on rate increases. For example, groups with 25+ years of continuous
years with Delta Dental will be limited to a maximum annual increase in
premium rates of five (5%) percent. The City of Brookings recognizes
making the investment in dental benefits may not only be popular among
employees, but may also help to hold down medical costs.
Based on current and future union contract language through December
31, 2012, the City of Brookings agrees to participate in the dental
premiums for employees by paying 75% of the single premium amount
toward all levels of coverage.

November 16, 2010
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: City Manager Jeff Weldon
RE: Renewal of legal services agreement
The City’s two-year contract for legal services with Steven J. Britzman,
Attorney-at-Law, will expire at the end of this year. Attached is the
current agreement for 2009-2010 as well as the proposed new agreement
for 2011-2012.
The terms, conditions, and scope of services are nearly identical except
that it contains an increase in compensation in the amount of four percent
(4%) for each of the two years. There is also a slight increase of $25 per
hour for special services enumerated in Item 15. These compensation
adjustments fair and reasonable.
I recommend approval of the proposed contract.

17. Public hearing on the Airport Dual-Track Site Selection.
The City of Brookings began the Dual Track Airport Environmental
Assessment process in 2006. The Dual Track process looked at options
for the City to resolve compliance issues at the current airport and a new
airport site. The draft Environmental Assessment is the most recent
document that the City has been working on for this process. The City
must choose a preferred alternative to move forward in the Environmental
Assessment. Once the preferred alternative is chosen, additional study will
be conducted on the selected alternative to complete the Environmental
Assessment document.
On November 8, 2010, the City conducted a Formal Public Hearing for the
draft Environmental Assessment. The Formal Public Hearing is required by
NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) to receive and address
comments and questions on the accuracy and validity of the Environmental
Assessment. These comments/questions will be provided to the City
Council prior to making a decision on a preferred alternative.
This meeting is the first of at least two City Council meetings discussing the
airport project prior to making a decision on a preferred alternative. The
purpose of this meeting is for the City Council to look at all information
regarding the airport project and to prepare to make an informed decision
on a preferred alternative for the Airport at a future meeting. Consultants
from HNTB will give a short presentation detailing the alternatives under
consideration at the meeting. There will be an opportunity for questions
and comments from the City Council and the public during this meeting.
The consultants and City staff will be available to answer questions
regarding the Environmental Assessment and the entire project.
The City Council will not make a decision on the preferred alternative at
this meeting. The City Council will make a decision on a preferred
alternative when they feel they have the necessary information to make an
informed decision, which could possibly be at the December 14, 2010 City
Council Meeting.

18. Discussion and action on the City/County Building construction
budget.
November 16, 2010
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: City Manager Jeff Weldon
RE: Construction budget for joint City-County Government
Center
Initial Value Engineering budget reductions
Pursuant to council direction from last July, I have been working with our
architects and construction managers to examine value engineering options
that would reduce the City’s share of the project to approximately $5.5
million. The following table lists 13 options to reduce the construction
cost. It also lists Reduction Option 14 which is to reduce the overall size
of the building via two methods.
The Joint Powers Board has already approved Reduction Options 1 and 2.
The sum total or implementing Options 1-8, 12, and 13 bring the project to
$5.597 million. Options 9-11 will realize additional savings which should be
close to the target amount of $5.5 million. However, these options have
yet to be determined since the design development process is not yet far
enough along to produce any more specific estimates than what is already
provided in the schematic design budget.
The council previously expressed a concern that design not progress too
far to lock us into a project. However, in this case, design has not gone far
enough to yield any further specific cost estimates. At this point, the
project remains “lines on paper” and can be changed; but with each
progressive step, any backtracking only adds to the design and timing
expense. That is simply the nature or architecture. However, it is also the
nature of architecture that we have to make an initial investment to define
a project to the extent that cost estimates can be assigned to it.
Option #14 is much more drastic. It provides for the elimination of the
Park and Recreation office and/or the elimination of any provision for
future growth.

Ramifications of these reductions
From the outset, this project was designed to accommodate very specific
goals for the City and County. Two such goals included:
1) Construct a quality building that represents an investment the
taxpayers can be proud of, that is efficient to operate, is
functional, but is not ostentatious or overly ornate.
2) Construct a building that has a certain degree of future growth
planned.
We continue to search and implement cost reductions to the project that
do not compromise the quality of construction. That process will continue
all the way through bidding. Options 1, 2 and pending Options 11, and 12
do that. Several other options compromise the quality of the structure, its
functionality, and could lead to more operational costs annually as well as
premature repair and maintenance costs. We have realized no savings if
we accept quality reductions during construction but see increased costs
for heating, cooling, repairs, and maintenance that result from sub-standard
materials and choices. We simply cannot afford to be “penny wise and
pound foolish” and we must be strategic in our choices.
Option 14 contradicts another goal of attempting to improve “one-stop
shopping” for city services by eliminating the Park and Recreation
Department and leaving them in the old Armory building. What’s more,
Option 14 eliminates ten workstations that are located throughout the
building. We have undertaken a comprehensive analysis estimating staffing
changes for 10-15 years into the future. Some of those staffing changes will
be in this building. I believe it is vital this building reflect projected changes
in staffing levels over time.
Will have failed to effectively plan this building if it is full the day we move in
and there is no more space than we have now. To adopt this course of
action is simply irresponsible. The building site plan does provide for an
expansion to the south but such an expansion is not envisioned for many
years and is contingent upon the ability to acquire additional property.
Growth within a 15-year horizon should not be programmed as a building
expansion but should be programmed as an internal expansion. The cost
to build such an expansion in the future will far outweigh the cost per
square foot to build future space today.
117

Finally, many of these changes will require concurrence with the County
Board as we do not wish to see distinguished differences in quality between
various offices.
Staff Recommendation
I am recommending you adopt the value engineering options on the second
table which puts the construction project at $5.941million. This option
incorporates value engineering considerations that do not compromise
quality or future growth. The Joint Powers Board recommended this
option at their November 10 meeting. As you recall, we have $6 million in
bond proceeds so this amount is covered except for the exclusions
discussed in the next paragraph. Over time, the contingency can be
reduced thus reducing the budget if it is not spent on unforeseen
considerations.
Construction exclusions
The final sheet of this analysis identifies the exclusions to the construction
budget that are still considered part of the overall project budget. We have
spent $974,516 in property acquisition from cash reserves. This amount is
covered with $1,014,555 in savings from other expenditures that were not
made. In addition, we have project program revenue in the form of
interest income from the bond proceeds which is strategically invested and
sufficient liquidity to draw-down amounts when needed.
Other exclusions come at the very end of the project and can be
appropriately budgeted in 2012. The new garage space for city vehicles can
be paid for by 25% second penny as the police department will be taking
over the existing garage space. Public Safety is a legitimate 25% second
penny expense according to your policy. For this same reason, we will
budget the City Hall remodel for the expanded Police Department in the
same manner.

Decorative streetlights along Third Street and Fifth Avenue can be financed
by the streetscape contingency account. Moving expenses are unknown at
this time. For furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FFE), we are just now
getting into that part of the process to develop these costs. We anticipate
moving most of our furniture but there will undoubtedly be some aspects
of FFE that will need to be acquired. The biggest part of the FFE budget
will be technology equipment which will be expensive but is an important
component of a modern office building.
As you can see, these exclusions are financed by other means.
