1. Proposed 2010 City Budget.
TO: Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: City Manager Jeff Weldon
RE: Budget Workshop #2
We are scheduled to convene in workshop session at 4:00 p.m. to resume our discussion of
the proposed 2010 budget. Please remember to bring your budget books with you again.
We will pick up where we left off from the last work session with the subsidy requests
followed by the departmental operating budgets.
At that point we should begin to reconcile the budget issues with a consensus on 2010
capital items and any items you wish to change from my recommendation. We can have a
discussion of second penny capital projects from the five-year CIP but I suggest we do that
only after we have resolved our issues for the 2010 budget. We need to arrive at a consensus
on the pending year’s budget and any future year’s budgets can wait until we have completed
this year’s budget.
For reference, enclosed in the packet you will see the capital project analysis for each the
25% and 75% project funds, the debt worksheet analysis, and a draft budget ordinance
which will have its first reading on September 8.
The proposed 2010 City of Brookings Budget is available on the front page of
the City’s website – www.cityofbrookings.org .

** No vote is taken on the first reading of ordinances. The title of the ordinance is read and the date

Staff Report. The Brookings Fire Department has worked to clarify the act of open burning
in the city while allowing and creating safety guidelines for recreational fires. Over the past
few years a noticeable trend is occurring in Brookings as well as other municipalities around
the country. Many residents are enjoying time sitting around a backyard fire pit.
The city currently has an ordinance that addresses open burning. This ordinance reads as
follows:
Sec. 34-5. Open burning.
It shall be unlawful to burn in any open or exterior space any garbage, refuse, leaves, wood or other
matter within the city.
Literal enforcement of this ordinance would not allow fire pits or outdoor fireplaces in the
City of Brookings. Current enforcement practices often create selective enforcement based
on the enforcing individual’s interpretation of open or exterior space.
This ordinance would still restrict the open burning of refuse and similar materials while
allowing recreational fires and promulgating subsequent safety requirements and
enforcement authority. These requirements are based on other municipal regulations, most
noticeably Victoria, Minnesota and Iowa City, Iowa and the Uniform Fire Code.
Proposal: To clarify the act of open burning in the city while allowing and creating safety
guidelines for recreational fires.
Background: Over the past few years a noticeable trend is occurring in Brookings as well as

Ordinances – 1st Readings**
8. Ordinance No. 20-09: An ordinance pertaining to an application for a
Conditional Use for a church in the Business B-2 District.
Public Hearing – September 8th
** 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.
Applicant: First United Methodist Church
Proposal: Expand an existing church campus by adding a Community Life Center
Background: First United Methodist Church built their church on the corner of 5th Street
and 7th Avenue in 1904. In 1964, they constructed an education wing on the west side of the
church. The church continued to grow, and around 2000, a master expansion plan was
developed. The church subsequently acquired additional land to the north. In 2006 and
2007, three (3) houses north of the alley were moved off the site.
In March 2008, the church received a variance to build 8.2 feet from the 7th Avenue right-of-
way. This would allow a new building to be constructed in-line with the original church.
Specifics: The Community Life Center would be constructed at the corner of 6th Street and
7th Avenue. An existing parking lot to the west would serve this facility and the church.
The Community Life Center would be a two-story structure. It would contain a large activity
room, a preschool, food pantry, office, and a kitchen. The center would be linked to the
church by a courtyard style open area. The alley that bisects the campus would remain a
public right-of-way at this time.
The conditional use standards for this use are as follows:
Sec. 94-264. Church:
This use shall be located on a collector or arterial street. The parking area shall be designed to have a
minimal impact on surrounding residential properties.
Recommendation: The Planning Commission voted 7 yes and 0 no to recommend approval of
this conditional use

CARRIED.
SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Item #4 – Beth Niemeyer, a member of the First United Methodist Church Building Committee,
stated the church expansion involved a community life center. Kylan Block, an architect for RDG
Planning and Design, said the design would be sympathetic to the neighborhood and would fit into
the surrounding area.
Heuton asked if other uses would be in the center. Niemeyer replied that the Head Start
program and Harvest Table would be housed there too. Kurtz asked if there were plans to vacate
the alley. Niemeyer responded no. Cameron inquired about the on-premise parking. Hanson
commented that a minor parking variance had been granted by the Board of Adjustment.
Kurtz felt the use would be appropriate for the area, and the church’s outreach activities were an
asset to the community.

Second Readings / Public Hearings
9. 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.
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. 26-244. Approval. The policy or certificate of liability insurance required by this division shall

Second Readings / Public Hearings
10. Action on an amendment to the R&T Center Lease Agreement between
the City of Brookings and Biogenetics.
Attached in the packet is a letter from the owner of Biogenetic Services, Inc., one of our
tenants in the R& T Center. The owner is requesting a modification to the new lease to
continue the rental rate which expired June 30 through the end of the year. The reason for
this is the economy. The new leases approved by the council, which went into effect for all
tenants, went to $10 per square foot on July 1. Other tenants are paying this amount. The
request is to maintain rent at $8.75 per square foot until year-end.
The tenant has not paid rent, or any portion thereof, for June, July, and August. The lease
provides for late penalties which are also being accrued.
Your options are:
1) Agree to the request.
2) Deny the request. The response by the tenant would be either to pay the new
amount or vacate the property.
3) Agree to the request but have the difference phased-in by having it added to
subsequent months in 2010. This would allow the tenant some relief until the
end of the year but would “re-pay” that amount through a temporary surcharge
on future month’s rent for a determinate number of months. This option would
preserve fairness with other tenants.
Mr. Kahler has been invited to attend the meeting.
Action: Motion to Approve, Request Public Comment, Roll Call
City Manager Recommendation: Option #3, providing Mr. Kahler agrees. If not, I recommend
Option #2.
