(unapproved)
The Brookings City Council convened in a joint session with the Brookings Hospital Board at 5:00
p.m. on Thursday, July 23, 2009, at the Brookings Hospital with the following members present:
Mayor Tim Reed, Council Members Julie Whaley, Mike Bartley, Jael Trieb (arrived at 5:19 p.m.) and
Mike McClemans. City Manager Jeffrey Weldon, City Attorney Steve Britzman and City Clerk Shari
Thornes were also present. Council Member Tom Bezdichek was absent.
Mayor Tim Reed and Keith Corbett, Hospital Board Chair, provided updates on their recent
discussions with other health care facilities, the desire to broadcast future joint meetings on the city’s
channel and website, and the appointment of Council Members Whaley and Trieb as ex-officios on
the Hospital Board.
Kevin Coffey, Acting CEO for Brookings Health Systems, provided financial statements and
current statistics on health care services provided by the Brookings Health Systems to include acute
patient days, ambulance runs, births, emergency room visits, home health visits and MRI/CAT
procedures. Coffey also provided an overview of the following future health care needs and issues
which included the Obix Perinatal Data System, Hugs and Kisses Infant Security System, Women’s
Expo Event, physician recruitment, the X-Stop surgery program, partnerships with the Boys and
Girls Club and the Yorkshire Eye Clinic, Bedside Medical Verification Program, the Picture Archival
System, Physician Order Management, and the hiring of new CEO, Roger Oberg, who will start
August 1st.
Steve Larson, NEXT Inc., and David Willer, HGA, provided design updates on Phases I, II and III
of the Brookings Health Systems expansion plans including updated floor plans of the expanded
emergency room and laboratory space (Phase I). Initial review of plans and the presentation of the
Master Plan are tentatively planned for August 10th. Final construction/bidding documents on
Phase I will be completed in eight weeks (mid September). They’re planning to bid the project yet
this Fall 2009. It was noted that the ambulance garage is not included in this plan. There was
additional discussion about ambulance service options.
Council members asked if the two groups could get together when the total project cost is finalized
but before it goes to bid. Council members noted that there have been large changes to the plans
since the April presentation and it would be important for the Council to understand the full
ramifications and costs of the project. Additional community input was also suggested.
No action was taken. Meeting adjourned at 6:18 p.m.

(unapproved)
The Brookings City Council held a meeting on Tuesday, July 28, 2009 at 5:00 p.m., at City Hall with
the following members present: Mayor Tim Reed, Council Members Julie Whaley, John Kubal,
Mike McClemans, Mike Bartley, Jael Trieb, and Tom Bezdichek. City Manager Jeff Weldon, City
Attorney Steve Britzman, and City Clerk Shari Thornes were also present.
SDSU Performing Arts Center Request. Dr. David Chicoine, President, South Dakota State
University, made a presentation on the SDSU Performing Arts Center Phase II project and made
the following remarks.
SDSU is requesting a one-time $11.8 million from second-penny sales tax. This is the estimated
construction cost of an 850-seat proscenium theater to be attached to the existing Performing Arts
Center located on the SDSU Campus.
Background: The Performing Arts Center (PAC) was occupied in 2003. It houses a 1,000-seat
Larson Memorial Concert Hall, a 180-seat Fishback Studio Theatre, a Multi-purpose Roberts
Reception Hall, a rehearsal room/dance studio, and operational offices. It was constructed for a
cost of $10.2 million ($15.5 million in 2009 dollars) with $6 million in funding from the City of
Brookings, $400,000 in student fees, and the remainder from private sources and Federal Grants.
The PAC has an annual operating budget of $129,000; 68.6% from student fees, 31.4% from user
fees, and the University pays for the utilities.
The current theater facility, Donor Auditorium, is located in the Administration Building and was
built in 1912. Seating capacity was 832; it was reduced to 507 (a 39% decrease) in May 2008 with
restricted use of the balcony. There is also limited accessibility for patrons with physical disabilities.
Phase II Details. The $11.8 million is an estimated cost for construction of the theatre, with most of
the space public space. It would enable realization of the original vision with a recital hall, reception
space, a proscenium theater, and a studio theater. Having this facility would define Brookings as a
comprehensive performing arts venue.
Second-Penny Sales Tax Funds Request. The $11.8 million request is 39% of the overall project
($30.1 million). Sixty-five percent of the project space is dedicated to theater ($18.3 million); $6.3
million for support space and entries, $2 million for offices and instructional space, $10 million for
Music Dept. Offices, rehearsal rooms, practice rooms and recital spaces, with the University
responsible for cost of operations and utilities.
President Chicoine mentioned 4 comparative facilities: 1) College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita,
CA. It was occupied in 2004. Construction cost $18.3 million ($26.2 million in 2009 dollars) and
houses a 886-seat proscenium theater and a black-box theater. 2) University of Delaware. Facility
was occupied in the fall of 2006. Construction cost $48 million ($60.6 million in 2009 dollars) and
houses a 464-seat proscenium theater, a 250-seat recital hall, marching band rehearsal space, and a
black-box theatre. 3) Western Connecticut State University. Facility will be complete in fall of 2011.
Construction cost $97 million. It will house a 500-seat proscenium theater, a 800-seat concert hall, a
13
City Council Packet
August 11, 2009
200-seat recital hall, and a 200-seat studio theater. 4) Brandon Valley High School, Brandon, SD.
The facility was occupied in 1999. Construction cost $4.7 million ($7.9 million in 2009 dollars) and
includes a student commons area and an 800-seat proscenium theater.
Economic Impact. There were 31,121 theater patrons in 2007-2008. This is a potential economic
impact of $1,493,808 in 2009 dollars and would provide a return on investment in 7.9 years strictly
from theater events. This does not include the 13,590 attendees at music events in 2007-2008. In
looking at the future, the PAC with a proscenium theater could attract 60,000+ annual visitors for
state productions and concerts and the return on investment could be realized earlier with increased
attendance.
Prairie Repertory Theatre attendees. Average attendance per season over the past 5 years was 7,829,
with 55% of attendees (4,360) from outside of Brookings. Out-of-town attendees account for
$172,240 (day visitors) to $447,824 (overnight visitors) in economic impact. Audience space is
currently limited by Doner Auditorium restrictions.
Possible high school events which could be held in PAC II: a One-Act Play Festival (900 students),
All State Band (172 students), All State Jazz Band (65 students), All State Chorus and Orchestra
(1,100 students), and the State Oral Interpretation Contest (100 students). This would amount to
more than 2,300 high school students bringing parents and family for performances.
Community interest. Approximately 2,200 students and 800 community members signed petitions
in support for the 850-seat theater.
This is a proposed public-private partnership. The City’s commitment would provide tremendous
impetus along with the already $2 million private leadership gift and discussions with major donors
for approximately $12 million. Analogous projects could range from $26.2 million to $97 million.
Council Discussion: Bezdichek asked the square footage cost on the $30.1 million dollar project.
President Chicoine said the theater space is more expensive at $420/sq. ft., $200/sq. foot for entry
space, and $240/sq. ft. for music areas.
Bezdichek asked of the 60,000 people estimated to attend the facility annually, was the University
using the Convention Visitor’s Bureau economic impact multiplier of $40/person day visit and
$104/person for overnight? Yes.
Reed asked if the high school events were included in the patron numbers. President Chicoine said
no, having the PAC in its entirety would open up a new set of opportunities to host large state or
regional high school performances of both theater and music.
Reed noted that this funding request will be discussed along with others during the August 11th
budget work session at 4:00 p.m.
Ordinance First Reading Policy Discussion. On July 14, 2009, Council Member Bartley made a
motion requesting the City Council review its policy on required packet support for first reading of
planning commission items. He is recommending less information be required in the “first reading”
agenda packet to speed up the process for applicants.
14
City Council Packet
August 11, 2009
Weldon said this would be an adjustment on how to handle packet pieces primarily coming from the
Planning Commission. The policy, adopted a number of years ago, requires all packet pieces be
included for first and second readings. There is a timing problem as the Planning Commission
meets the first Tuesday of each month and the Council agenda packet deadline is that same day at
5:00 p.m. The requirement to include the Planning Commission minutes for first reading has
resulted in delaying applicants by two weeks until the second Council meeting of the month.
Weldon doesn’t feel this is very efficient in helping applicants to expedite an application and pending
construction project. The question before the Council with this issue is would it be okay if they had
all support documents except the Planning Commission Meeting Minutes for ordinance first reading
of planning commission items? Weldon stated in very few cases would there be anything other than
the minutes absent from the packet, and is trying to weigh the issue of all pieces in packet balanced
against customer service to an applicant. He feels it is unnecessary for an applicant to have to wait
two weeks. He further noted that the Council changed their first reading policy so no action is taken
at that time.
Bartley agreed saying this is a customer service issue for the City of Brookings. Because of this
Council policy, applicants are forced to wait until all data is available and it hinders the process.
Reed noted that the unapproved Planning Commission minutes would probably be available to
Council members the following week, if that makes a difference.
ACTION: A motion was made by Bartley, seconded by Kubal, to accept staff’s proposed changes
and bring back an amendment to the first reading policy for action on a consent agenda. All present
voted yes; motion carried.
Ex-Officio Reporting Policy Discussion. Pursuant to the City Council’s motion from July 14th,
Weldon recommended time will be set aside at the second monthly City Council Work Session for
the Brookings Utility Board and Brookings Health System Board of Trustees Ex-officio members to
provide verbal reports, commencing at the August 25th work session.
Bartley suggested this be a standing item during every work session, so the reports would be more
timely. There was full consensus to provide “ex-officio reports” during the work session at every
meeting commencing August 11th.
6:00 p.m. Meeting Review. Shari Thornes, Brookings City Clerk, noted changes to the 6:00 p.m.
agenda.
City Clerk Report. Shari Thornes, Brookings City Clerk, provided a briefing on upcoming
invitations and obligations.
Weldon highlighted the budget meeting topics for August 11th; capital project review, operating
budgets, debt service, subsidy requests, and departmental budgets. The proposed 2010 budget
document will be delivered to the Council by August 1st pursuant to the City Charter.
Mayor Reed commented that the budgeting meeting is a work session. Council members will have
an opportunity to ask questions, but no public testimony will be received. Public discussion on the
proposed budget ordinance will occur on September 22nd.
15
City Council Packet
August 11, 2009
Weldon asked the City Council if they’d like more time scheduled for public interaction or another
format. Bartley said he’s liked the process and the way the budget meetings have been conducted
and has never had any requests from the public for more hearings. There was consensus to keep
the process the same as in the past.
The Council recessed at 5:40 p.m. until the 6:00 p.m. regular meeting.
6:00 P.M. REGULAR MEETING. Mayor Reed reconvened and called the meeting to order
at 6:00 p.m.
Consent Agenda. A motion was made by Bartley, seconded by Whaley, to approve the consent
agenda:
A. Action to approve the agenda.
B. Action to approve the July 14, 2009 City Council Meeting Minutes.
C. Action on Resolution No. 70-09, a Resolution Adopting the City of Brookings Identity
Theft Policy Pursuant to the Requirements of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions
Act of 2003.
Resolution No. 70-09
Resolution Adopting the City of Brookings Identity Theft Policy pursuant to the Requirements
of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003.
Be It Resolved by the City Council of the City of Brookings, South Dakota as follows:
Whereas, the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act of 2003 (“FACTA”) and regulations
and guidelines promulgated by the Federal Trade Commission require creditors and financial
institutions to develop and implement written “identity theft prevention programs”; and
Whereas, the Identity Theft Prevention Programs must provide for the identification, detection
and response to patterns, practices, or specific activities—known as “red flags” which could
indicate identity theft; and

1st Reading – Ordinance No. 18-09. A first reading was held on Ordinance No. 18-09, an
Ordinance pertaining to an application for a Conditional use for a Kennel in the Business B-3
District. Public Hearing: August 11, 2009.
Public Hearing – Agreement to Exchange Real Property. A public hearing was held on an
agreement between the City of Brookings and Mills Development Corporation for the exchange of
real property of the following described property: Tract I: Block Eight (8) of Hyland Addition to
the City of Brookings, County of Brookings, State of South Dakota, in exchange for the above-
described property, the City to convey to Mills and Mills to acquire from City the following
described real property: Tract II: A parcel of real property measured 40’ by 743 feet and located in
the Prairie Hills Subdivision to the City of Brookings, County of Brookings, State of South Dakota,
as shown on the attached Exhibit “A”; and Tract III: A parcel of real property consisting of Twenty-
five (25) acres, more or less, and located in the Prairie Hills Subdivision to the City of Brookings,
County of Brookings, State of South Dakota.
Weldon said pursuant to the Council’s direction of adopting a project priority listing for the City’s
Storm Drainage Master Plan implementation, the first project involves the acquisition of Block 8
Hyland Addition. This parcel is owned by John Mills. Weldon has been negotiating with Mills for
the purchase of this parcel. The property is priced at $406,673; Mr. Mills has offered to reduce the
price of the parcel by $100,000 if we deed to Prairie Hills, LLC a 25 acre parcel of unplatted
property just southwest of Medary Avenue and 20th Street South, which is currently owned by the
City. This acreage is east and directly adjacent to the pending residential subdivision plan of Prairie
Hills, legally owned by Prairie Hills, LLC.
SDCL 9-27-34.1 authorizes the transfer of property between a municipality and a private party.
19
City Council Packet
August 11, 2009
Mills Development intends to utilize this 25 acre area to assist with development objectives that
support and complement the future Prairie Hills subdivision with items such as: storm drainage
ponds, utilizing the fill to help improve lots, and create open space amenities that enhance the area.
A small sliver of this parcel, in the extreme northeast corner adjacent to the existing bike trail, would
be added to an existing adjacent 12-acre business parcel. When completed, this area would be
enhanced open space from its current state. Plans are in the early development stage but are not yet
complete.
This area was received by the City through a partial purchase and partial donation from Prairie Hills,
LLC initially and was intended to be open space and future parkland a few years ago. However, it
does not appear in the City’s comprehensive plan as being identified as future parkland. The land is
low, prone to flooding, and serves as part of our overall storm water management system. The
exchange would not include the land currently as part of the paved trail system, which would remain
unchanged and retained by the City. In fact, it would probably be enhanced as part of the end-use
open space development. Staff has had concerns about the final reclamation condition of this
property, especially the existing rail-bed as a primitive trail and preserving some of the cottonwood
trees along Medary Avenue. Mills Development has agreed to retain the rail-bed trail and integrate it
into a comprehensive trail system. Many of the trees can remain but some will have to be removed,
as the remaining life of some of the cottonwood trees is questionable. Mills Development and the
City will work cooperatively on a final plan for this area.
In order to facilitate a property exchange (so the City can get a reduced price for Block 8 Hyland
Addition for a needed storm drainage pond), the City was required to appoint three people to
“appraise” or value the two parcels. This is done in lieu of a formal appraisal and at no cost to the
City. The appraisal information is then used as a tool but is not binding upon the Council. Using
the exchange procedure, the City also would not need to transfer the property through BEDC which
is typically done. The City Council approved the appointment of three persons to provide such an
assessment of the two parcels at the June 23rd Council meeting. The results are as follows and their
opinions were as follows:
Realtor: Block 8 Hyland Addn. (Mills) SW Medary/20th (City)
Sara Woodard $521,730-$579,700 $250,000-$300,000
Ron Borchardt $376,805-$463,760 $75,000-$125,000
Ryan Krogmann $405,000-$450,000 $100,000-$125,000
All three realtors provided this service to the City without charge, for which the City is greatly
appreciative.
Also attached is the REAL ESTATE EXCHANGE AGREEMENT which was prepared by City
Attorney Steve Britzman. Once executed, would facilitate the property transfer. The end result of
the transaction would be as follows:
Prairie Hills LLC takes possession of the City property and can utilize it to complement
development of the Prairie Hills residential subdivision, however, no homes would be built on this
property. Prairie Hills LLC will work with the City on an end-use redevelopment plan with it being
returned to the City as re-developed and enhanced open space. A small sliver of land (40’ by 743’)
adjacent to an existing B zone parcel would be retained by Prairie Hills LLC.
The City takes possession of Block 8 Hyland Addition for payment of $306,673.64 from the Storm
Water Fund as the number one priority in our Storm Water Master Plan and begin engineering for
20
City Council Packet
August 11, 2009
the construction of the site for a pond. Because of the land exchange, this purchase price has been
reduced by $100,000.
This land transaction paves the way for development of the Prairie Hills residential subdivision on
the southeast corner of Main Avenue and 20th Street South. Some complementary neighborhood
commercial development is also planned for this area.
This transaction provides for the installation of a trunk sewer system along Main Avenue to service
Prairie Hills as well as future development on the west side of Main Avenue South. This is an
implementation strategy to Goal #5 from last year’s Strategic Plan to extend utilities into our
southern growth corridor.
This will spur development on the west side of Main Avenue South. The School District has
purchased 20 acres for a new elementary school and Oakwood Equity has purchased property on
the southwest corner of Main Avenue South and 20th Street South for a residential and
neighborhood commercial subdivision. This project has had a preliminary review by the Planning
Commission and all such projects would utilize the trunk sewer line.
The other option, of course, is not to undertake the transaction. The result of this option would be
the city open space would likely not be improved to a “better” open space; the storm drainage
project would be $100,000 more expensive; and private development on South Main would likely be
stalled.
John Mills said he was contacted by city staff three or four years ago letting him know that the City
might need Block 8 of the Hyland Addition due to drainage issues. In response to that request, he
put plans for that area on hold until the City figured out if it needed the land.
Public Hearing: Keith Rounds spoke in favor of the request. Hearing Closed.
ACTION: A motion was made by Whaley, seconded by McClemans, to approve.
Council Discussion: McClemans asked if the “crosshatch” area depicted on the map was for fill and excavation.
Yes, that area is low and flood prone and needs to be elevated and it will be developed for a retention structure.
Whaley asked how long the process would take. One year.
Weldon said he’d rather see property tax paying entities on the development, but the City doesn’t have much choice
with the flow and drainage. The City has an opportunity here to manage and control drainage. This is an urbanized
area and it is going to be a challenge to make an aesthetic amenity out of a slew. He noted that the property will be
deeded back and on the tax roles. It will also help get the Prairie Hills project moving forward as well as other
development opportunities.
John Mills said he is happy to still have an ownership interest in Block 8 and is also happy to hear that the City
wants to develop the retention project in an aesthetic way, suggesting a bike trail, benches and trees.
On the motion, all present voted yes; motion carried.

H. Action on Resolution No. 77-09, Authorizing Change Order (CCO#1) for
Landfill Electronics Storage Building.
Resolution No. 77-09 authorizes a change order to add thermal tape between the metal
siding and the iron frame work at a cost of $572.00. The purpose of this thermal tape is to
prevent expansion and contraction of the siding if the building were ever to be heated in the
future. Currently the building will be utilized as a cold storage building, however, if in the
future the decision would be to heat the building; it has been constructed with an insulated
roof, insulation around the concrete floor and insulated overhead doors. All that would be
required to heat the building would be to insulate the walls and add a heating system.
Therefore, it seemed prudent to add the thermal tape at this point, otherwise if the building
would ever be heated, all the siding would have to be removed and then the thermal tape
installed and then reinstall the siding (at a considerably higher cost in the future).
Resolution No. 77-09
A Resolution Authorizing Change Order (CCO#1) For
Landfill Electronics Storage Building

BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council that the following change order be allowed for the

8. Ordinance No. 17-09: An Ordinance amending Article V. of Chapter 26
of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Brookings, South Dakota and
pertaining to Taxicabs.
Public Hearing: August 25th
** No vote is taken on the first reading of Ordinances. The title of the Ordinance is read and the date for the Public
Hearing is announced.
After the change in government, the issuance of taxi cab licenses became an
administrative matter that no longer required City Council action. However,
recent review of the ordinance regarding procedures to revoke a license found
that the City could revoke a “driver’s taxicab license”, but there is not a similar
provision for revocation of the taxicab “owner’s license.” This is a
housekeeping measure to allow for the City Manager to also have the
administrative ability to revoke a license.

Sec. 26-215. Transfer. No taxicab license issued pursuant to this article shall be transferred from
one owner to another except upon approval of the city manager council.
Sec. 26-244. Approval. The policy or certificate of liability insurance required by this division shall
be approved by the city manager council prior to issuance of the license.
Sec. 26-276. Action by council Licensing procedure. After the chief of police has returned an

attention of the city council at its next regular meeting submit the application to the city manager for review.
The issuance of such license shall be discretionary with the city manager council and a license shall be issued

9. Action on Resolution No. 79-09, awarding bids on Alley Assessment
Project 2009-04STA (Alley between 11th & 12th Avenues, and 1st & 2nd
Streets.).
The Brookings City Council approved Resolution of Necessity 50-09 on May 26th, 2009,
authorizing the City to proceed with bidding for an alley assessment project. This project
consists of grading, gravel and asphalt paving for an alley located between 11th Avenue &
12th Avenue and 1st Street & 2nd Street.
The plans for this project were mailed to area contractors and 2 builders exchanges. The bid
letting was held on August 4, 2009 and the City received the following bid:
Bowes Construction, Inc., Brookings, SD $26,699.50
The low base bid was approximately 6% higher than the engineer’s estimate of $25,155.00.
This bid equates to a frontage assessment of approximately $40.43 per front foot, which is
based upon the bid cost plus 6% engineering and administration fee divided by 700 frontage
feet. The entire cost of this project will be assessed to the abutting property owners after the
project is complete and the exact amount to be assessed will be based on actual installed
quantities and is usually slightly different than the estimated cost.
Resolution 50-09 stated that the estimated cost per front foot of alley was $38.00. A notice
of this council meeting was mailed to the abutting property owners by first class mail to alert
them the cost was higher than the estimate. It is unknown at the time of this memo if the
majority of the abutting property owners would still be in favor of paving the alley at the
higher bid cost. The property owners do have the option of paying the assessment over a 5
year period with interest of 10% on the unpaid balance. One option would be to reject bids
and rebid with the City’s overlay project in 2010, however, the cost would likely be higher
due to rising construction and oil costs.
City Manager recommendation: Since 100% of the cost to pave the alley is paid for by the
abutting property owners, staff recommends awarding the bid only if a majority of the
abutting property owners want to proceed at the higher assessment cost. We will not know
the response of the property owners until the meeting testimony on Tuesday, August 11th.

Item #4 – Brookings Regional Humane Society has submitted an application for a Conditional Use to

(Cameron/Gustafson) Motion to approve the Conditional Use
(Cameron/Fargen) Amendment to the motion to add “to the Brookings Regional Humane Society only”. All
present voted aye. AMENDMENT CARRIED.
The motion, as amended, was voted on. All present voted aye except Kurtz voted no. MOTION
CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #4 – Dick Peterson, a director on the Board of the Brookings Regional Humane Society, stated they
were looking for a building with air conditioning. The proposed site would have a small fenced dog run along
the south side of the building for dogs when their pens were being cleaned. No dogs would be kept in that
area. Rose Davidson of the Brookings Regional Humane Society remarked that the main occupants of the
facility would be cats. Only a few dogs would be housed there.
Kurtz noted that one of the standards required a 400 foot minimum distance to a residential district
boundary. He was concerned about barking dogs. Davidson responded that dogs would only come in on an
emergency basis. She added that the building was made of cinder block.
Gustafson felt the site was appropriate since the warehouses and other buildings around the site would block
noises. Cameron asked if the site had ample parking. Peterson replied yes.
