Resolution 19-067 -Resolution Urging South Dakota Legislators to Preserve Consumer
Choice and the Ability of Municipal Electric Utilities to Serve All Municipal Citizens
Including those in Newly Annexed Areas
Whereas, the City of Brookings has chosen to own and operate a Municipal Electric
Utility and serve all the citizens of Brookings for over 120 years; and
Whereas, the Municipal Electric Utilities of South Dakota represent the values of the
communities they serve, providing operational and rate setting decisions locally by
citizens of the community at open and public meetings, and revenues are reinvested
locally to foster economic development and innovation; and
Whereas, the citizens of Brookings have chosen to invest in this Municipal Electric
Utility to help attain the community's desired future through their resilient electrical
system that attracts essential businesses and jobs; and
Whereas, the Municipal Electric Utilities of South Dakota have consistently been one of
the most important economic development resources for job creation in our region by
allowing the cities involved to attract businesses with lower costs of power and highly
reliable service; and
Whereas, transfers from the Brookings Municipal Electric Fund to our General Fund
assists in providing for the health, safety and welfare of Brookings' citizens, low
municipal real estate taxes, increased quality of life, livability, safe neighborhoods,
school funding and a welcoming sense of community; and
Whereas, any legislation prohibiting Municipal Electric Utilities to have a reasonable
opportunity for future growth would be harmful to the City of Brookings and not in the
public interest of all citizens of South Dakota.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved by the City of Brookings that the South Dakota
Legislators be urged to support the Coalition to Preserve Customer Choice as they
advocate continuing to allow municipally owned electric utilities to serve all municipal
citizens in areas annexed into the cities.
