FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Ashley Biggar to Receive Mayor’s 2020 Generational Leadership Award
Brookings, SD –
The Mayor’s Generational Leadership Award is given to a community member who has affected the
community in the following ways:
Positively changes how we think about our community and city
Helps Brookings attract and retain young professionals and families
Motivates new generations to be active in their communities
Contributes to the advancement and well-being of the community through service in areas such as:
education, sports, fund-raising, charitable and voluntary service, economic development, arts, and
the environment.
The City of Brookings is proud to award this year’s 2020 Generational Leadership Award to Ashley Biggar.
Ashley Biggar is a shining star and exemplary character of the Generational Leadership Award. Her love for
Brookings and South Dakota runs deep and is easily demonstrated in her passion for her career as well as
her many volunteer efforts.
"The award recognizes an individual who has provided strong leadership to the community, and continues
to grow as a leader for the future,” said Brookings Mayor, Keith Corbett. “Ashley exemplifies leadership
qualities as she inspires others to grow and give freely of their time and talent. She is truly a servant leader!”
As the Director of Downtown Brookings for the Brookings Area Chamber of Commerce, Ashely is tireless in
her pursuit and development of programming and events that bring joy, delight, and best of all people and
commerce to Brookings. She has tackled projects head-on, developing new and fresh programming like
“Keep Clean”, an effort to remove litter in the downtown area working with the Brookings County Drug
Court and other groups requiring volunteer hours. She has crafted creative events like the “Great Pumpkin
Paint Out,” a program for all ages to paint and display pumpkins in Halloween spirit. The community of
Brookings is lucky to have Ashley living and working here, bringing us all up to a cleaner and more beautiful
level.
Ashley brings a helpful and thoughtful approach to leadership and equally a willingness and eagerness to
learn. She takes the time to listen and make sure everyone is included in the conversation. When it’s time
to get to work, Ashley is the first to raise her hand and jump in with both feet, often wearing fabulously
stylish shoes.
Ashley has dedicated countless hours to volunteer
programs in Brookings. For many summers, she has
brought her creative talents and skills literally to the faces
of children by painting beautiful pictures on their happy
cheeks. Throughout the pandemic, Ashley has created
gorgeous, original, highly-detailed and larger-than-life A-
World-Of-Hearts murals on the faces of our businesses to
bring hope to our community, sharing a message of
togetherness and resiliency in this challenging time.
Ashley always sees the good in people and encourages
others to do the same. She always has her phone on and
seems to have endless energy for anyone who wants to
connect. Her energy is infectious, as if emulating from her
like glitter.
Ashley leads by example. She does not shy away from the
tough challenges, and she engages with a positivity and
cheer! That friendly-attitude and go-getter spirit makes
her a natural leader of the people.
To describe Ashley in essence would include words like:
sparkling, creative, go-getter, positive, cheerful, smiley,
easy-going, artistic, hard-working. Of greater importance would be the list of intangibles that make of the
fabric of a person: caring, respect, commitment, dedication, humor, empathy, hard work and resiliency.
Essentially, Ashley is a unicorn.
Please help us in congratulating Ashley Biggar, our 2020 Generational Leadership Award recipient.

Second Reading on Ordinance 20-024, an Ordinance Authorizing Supplemental Appropriation #6 to
the 2020 Budget - Parts 1-3.
Staff is requesting the authorization of three budget adjustments.
Part 1 will utilize a FEMA grant to for equipment and alternative projects. The amendment will
increase the Engineering Department $26,000.00 for the purchase of a drone as well as FEMA-
approved alternative projects. FEMA provides 85% of the costs and the City is responsible for the
remaining 15%.
Part 2 will increase the Library Department by $100,000.00 for a boiler. This was a top priority
replacement identified in the 2019 Facility Condition Assessment. The City Council Priority Project
Fund (CCPPF) as identified last year as the appropriate funding source. Rather than transferring the
full budgeted amount staff will bring forward amendments for actual amounts.
Part 3 will increase the Non Departmental Expenditure budget for miscellaneous expenditures related
to COVID-19 and reimbursed by the South Dakota Local Government COVID Recovery fund.
General Fund Revenues increase as reimbursements are received, offsetting the increase in
expenditures.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Ashley Rentsch, Deputy Finance Manager
Council Meeting: November 10, 2020 / November 24, 2020
Subject: Ordinance Authorizing Supplemental Appropriation #6 to the
2020 Budget – Parts 1-3
Person(s) Responsible: Erick Rangel, Chief Financial Officer; Ashley Rentsch,
Deputy Finance Manager; Jackie Lanning, City Engineer;
Mike Struck, Community Development Manager
Summary:
Part 1 will utilize a FEMA grant to for equipment and alternative projects. The
amendment will increase the Engineering Department Furniture & Equipment Expense
budget in the amount of $26,000.00 for the purchase of a drone in the amount of
$15,279.99 to be used for pre-disaster inspections and post-disaster reconnaissance of
areas difficult to inspect on foot or open areas in the floodplain. The remainder will be
spent on other FEMA-approved alternative projects. Under the terms of the FEMA
grant, 85% of the costs will be paid by the grant, and the City will be responsible for the
remaining 15%. The City’s portion will be funded by the City Manager’s Contingency
account.
Part 2 will increase the Library Department Capital Expenditure budget in the Public
Improvements fund by $100,000.00 for the purchase and installation of a boiler. This
was a top priority replacement identified in the 2019 Facility Condition Assessment. As
part of the budget staff identified City Council Priority Project Fund (CCPPF) as the
funding source. Rather than transferring the full budgeted amount staff will bring
forward amendments for actual amounts.
Part 3 will increase the Non Departmental Expenditure budget for miscellaneous
expenditures related to COVID-19 and reimbursed by the South Dakota Local
Government COVID Recovery fund. General Fund Revenues increase as
reimbursements are received, offsetting the increase in expenditures.
Background:
Part 1 The City was awarded a grant from FEMA in the amount of $25,785.55 to
address underground damage. Due to a change in scope based on the extent of the
damage, the actual project cost was $4,379.43, leaving $21,406.12 to fund 85% of
costs incurred for approved alternative projects. Staff obtained authorization from FEMA
to spend the funds on alternate projects. One of the authorized alternate projects was
the purchase of a drone to use for inspection and reconnaissance of hard-to-reach
areas and open areas of the floodplain. Under the terms of the grant, the City is
responsible for 15% of the cost associated with alternative projects, meaning the City
must incur $25,183.68 in costs to use up the remain ing grant funds of $21,406.12.
Part 2 The 2019 Facility Condition Assessment identified the boiler at the Library as a
top priority replacement need. Community Development staff secured a proposal in the
amount of $95,166 from Johnson Controls, Inc. to complete this replacement before the
end of 2020.
Part 3 The City of Brookings was allocated $5,519,641 from the South Dakota Local
Government COVID Recovery Fund. These funds are disbursed to the City on a
reimbursement basis for approved payroll and ope rating expenditures. The COVID-19-
related operating expenditures are being tracked in a designated account in Non
Departmental Expenditures. To date, the City of Brookings has been authorized
$2,350,574.67 in reimbursements for public safety payroll and operating expenditures.
Item Details:
Part 1 The City of Brookings recently purchased a Phantom 4 RTK + D-RTK 2 Mobile
Station Combo (drone) and accessories in the amount of $15,279.99. This purchase
was made following authorization from FEMA as an approved alternative project to
utilize excess funding available after a previously approved project was completed and
final costs were below the amount initially reimbursed to the City by FEMA. Under the
terms of the grant, FEMA funds will reimburse 85% of these project costs, and the City
is responsible for the remaining 15%. This means FEMA funding covered $12,988.00
the drone, and the City’s portion was $2,291.99. Engineering Department staff is
identifying other FEMA-approved alternative projects to utilize the remaining $9,903.69
in funding.
Part 2 Community Development staff determined that it was not practicable to utilize
competitive sealed bids for the Library boiler due to the additional cost of bid documents
and available time to complete the work prior to heating season. Proposals were
requested from three vendors. Johnson Controls, Inc. provided the lowest proposed
price of $95,166. Tessier’s, Inc. submitted a proposal for $106,960, and Midwest
Mechanical did not submit a proposal. Staff is currently working with Johnson Controls,
Inc. to complete this replacement before the end of 2020.
Part 3 The City of Brookings is authorized to submit COVID-19 related expenses to the
State of South Dakota to reimbursed by the South Dakota Local Government COVID
Recovery Fund. This includes full payroll costs for public safety employees, as well as
various operating expenses incurred due to the pandemic. At this point, the City has
been reimbursed for $2,135,856.37 in payroll expenses and $214,718.30 in operating
expenses, to include reimbursements for Brookings municipal Utilities and Brookings
Health System. The City’s COVID-related operating expenses are being tracked in a
designated account as a Non Departmental expense. Reimbursements may be claimed
for expenses incurred between March 1, 2020 and December 30, 2020. The City
anticipates approximately $500,000.00 in operating expenses to be incurred during the
reimbursement period and must increase the budget to account for these expenses.
These expenses are offset by the receipt of reimbursements from the State of South
Dakota.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
None.
Financial Consideration:
This Ordinance allows the City of Brookings to take advantage of excess FEMA grant
funding to purchase a drone, authorizes the City to make a necessary boiler
replacement at the Library, and grants spending authority to the City for reimbursable
expenses incurred due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Part 1 authorizes a transfer of
$4,593.88 from the City Manager’s Contingency account, with the remainder offset by
grant revenue received. Part 2 increases 2020 capital expenditures by $100,000 for a
necessary improvement funded by the CCPPF. Part 3 has essentially zero effect on the
budget, as incurred expenses are offset by reimbursement revenue received.
A majority of this amendment capitalizes on funds available from alternative sources.
The utilization of these funds further extends Brookings existing resources.
Options and Recommendation:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Deny
3. Amend
4. Move the item to a work session
5. Do nothing
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as presented.
