Action on Resolution 21-026, a Bridge Reinspection Program Resolution for use with South Dakota
Department of Transportation (SDDOT) Retainer Contracts.
Summary:
This resolution will authorize the City to retain the services of Civil Design Inc. for the City of
Brookings Bridge Reinspection Program for 2021.
Background:
The South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) manages the Bridge Inspection Program
as part of the National Bridge Inspection Standards (NBIS) Program. All bridges and box culverts in
the program are required to be inspected at intervals not to exceed two years, with the exception of
reinforced concrete box culverts that meet specific criteria. The City of Brookings has three bridges
and one box culvert in the program which are scheduled for inspection in 2021 (see attached map).
The City follows the NBIS standards so Federal Bridge Replacement Funds can be utilized to hire
consultants for the inspections. The SDDOT will secure the federal approvals and make the
payments to Civil Design, Inc. for the inspection services. The SDDOT also provides for 80% funding
for the inspection and the City provides the 20% match, which will be paid out of the Drainage Fund.
The average cost of the inspection is approximately $5,000, with the City match being approximately
$1,000.
The City is recommending Civil Design, Inc. as the consultant for this project. Civil Design, Inc. has
been performing the Brookings bridge inspections since 2017 and their staff is very familiar with the
structures. This resolution will authorize the SDDOT to enter into a contract with Civil Design Inc. for
the 2019 bridge inspection program for Brookings.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

reinspection at intervals, not to exceed two years, with the exception of reinforced
concrete box culverts that meet specific criteria. These culverts are reinspected at
intervals not to exceed four years.
Therefore, the City of Brookings is desirous of participating in the Bridge Inspection
Program using Bridge Replacement Funds.
The City of Brookings requests SDDOT to hire Civil Design Inc. for the inspection work.
SDDOT will secure Federal approvals, make payments to the Consulting Engineer for
inspection services rendered, and bill the City for 20% of the cost. The City of
Brookings will be responsible for the required 20% matching funds.
Dated this 23rd day of March, 2021, at Brookings, South Dakota.

Discussion and Possible Action on an Amendment to the Developer’s Agreement associated with Tax
Increment District #8.
Summary:
PEM Affordable Housing, LLC, is requesting an amendment to the Developer’s Agreement
associated with Tax Increment District #8.
Background:
Tax Increment District #8 was created to assist with infrastructure improvements in the Timberline
Addition, specifically to provide access to 42 workforce housing lots. As part of the District, a
Developer’s Agreement between the City and PEM Affordable Housing, LLC, was executed. The
Developer’s Agreement identified 32 development ready residential lots shall be made available at a
cost not to exceed $29,000 to Inter-Lakes Community Action Partnership (ICAP). Ten additional lots
not exceeding $29,000 shall be available to ICAP, Habitat for Humanity, and/or the private sector.
An additional stipulation in the Developer’s Agreement restricts the final sale price of the lot and
home to 80% of the South Dakota Housing Development Authority’s First-Time Homebuyer Purchase
Limits. The current purchase limits for the First-Time Homebuyer Program is $275,000. Applying the
80% Developer’s Agreement condition, the sales price of the lot and house cannot exceed $220,000.
The developer has requested an amendment to Sections 3 and 4 of the Developer’s Agreement.
Specifically, the developer is requesting removal of the 80% of First-Time Homebuyer Purchase
Limits condition and simply restrict the final sales price of house and lot to the First-Time Homebuyer
Purchase Limits, which is currently $275,000.
The developer has requested the amendment due to rising lumber prices.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends amending the development agreement purchase price to $245,000 as the
developer is receiving a public subsidy through Tax Increment District #8.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Erick Rangel, Chief Financial Officer
Council Meeting: March 23, 2021 / April 27, 2021
Subject: Ordinance 21-008, an Ordinance Authorizing Supplemental
Appropriation #3 to the 2021 Budget – Parts 1,2 & 3
Person(s) Responsible: Paul Briseno, City Manager
Erick Rangel, Chief Financial Officer
Summary:
Part 1 will re-distribute 3B and BID 2020 sales tax surplus to supported Economic
Development Agencies.
Part 2 will increase CIP fund appropriation to execute the purchase of a Fire Truck
financed by the Landfill per Resolutions 20-009 and 20-014 enacted last year.
Part 3 will increase funding to cover initial efforts to prepare for implementation of
the Marijuana Legalization Bill.
Background:
Part 1
In March 2020, the City proactively carried out a cost cutting initiative across the board to
be better positioned to face the unknown revenue impact of COVID. The proposed cuts
also impacted all Economic Development Agencies. At that time, the City reduced all
non-restricted subsidy funding by 15.3%, this plan included depleting the City’s 3B and
BID reserves to offset the -40% to -60% expected revenue reduction. It was also
communicated that if revenues ended up better than expecte d, returning the funds
proportionally would be explored.
Even though the City experienced a slowdown in revenues, the revenue reduction
was not as steep as originally anticipated. That said, after estimating the 2020
budget surplus for the BID and 3B funds, the City’s Financial Stability Reserve Policy,
and proportionally evaluating the 2020 cuts, City staff is proposing to re-distribute
41.3% of the original cuts to the respective agencies totaling $84,729.
Part 2
In 2020, the Brookings Fire Department budgeted to replace a 2001 Fire Engine. The
approved contract was for $540,243 per Resolution 20-009. In addition, Resolution 20-
014 approved the Fire Engine’s financing with an Interfund loan from the Landfill. The
proposed amendment would appropriate the necessary expense authority to the CIP
fund to close the purchasing transaction.
Part3
As of now, and with a 2/3 vote-requiring change, IM 26 will go into effect as written on
July 1, 2021 legalizing medical marijuana in South Dakota. The requested incremental
$30,000 will be used to fund an industry consultant to assist City staff with the initial
planning and set up for the local implementation of this legislation.
Item Details:
Staff recommends the proposed budget amendment.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
The budget amendment furthers the City’s mission of being a pro-active, fiscally-
responsible municipal government.
Financial Consideration:

Codes. City Staff and BOA discussed the following new changes to the 2018 I-codes.
R302.13 Fire Protection of Floors

building codes. SDCL 11-10-5 also permits the governing body to amend, modify, or
delete any portion of these codes. The proposed Ordinance also updates the
amendments, modifications, and deletions of the Building Code of the City of Brookings.

feet (3,048 mm) or less shall not be required.
3. Decks not supported by a dwelling need not be provided with footings that extend
below the frost line.
Note: Board of Appeals (BOA) supported the removal of item 2 due to concerns brought
up by citizens. All new houses build on a shallow protected foundation will require an
engineered design. Exception 1 was modified to 1,000sf in a separate ordinance to
align with the zoning limitations of detached accessory.
Table N1102.1.2 – Delete and Replace with Table N1102.1 of the 2009 IRC.
Note: BOA felt that an increase in wall insulation would add significant cost to a project
with minimal benefit.
N1102.2.9 (R402.2.0) Basement walls. Walls associated with conditioned basements
shall be insulated from the top of the basement wall down to 10ft (3,048 mm) below
grade or to the basement floor, whichever is less. Walls associated with unconditioned
basements shall comply with this requirement except where the floor overhead is
insulated in accordance with Section N1102.1.2 and N1102.2.8.
Exception: Exterior basement walls of enclosed mechanical rooms.
Note: The HBA requested that the thermal envelope not extend into an enclosed
mechanical room in a basement due to space limitations, and that there is a redundancy
of insulating the walls when outside air is introduced into the area by either combustion
air or outside air into the return air based on the whole house ventilation requirements.
N1102.4.1.2 (R402.4.1.2) Testing. Not Adopted by the City. The building or dwelling
unit shall be tested and verified as having an air leakage rate of not exceeding five air
changes per hour in Climate Zones 1 and 2, and three air changes per hour in Climate
Zones 3 through 8. Testing shall be conducted in accordance with RESNET/ICC 380,
ASTM E779 or ASTM E1827 and reported at a pressure of 0.2 inch w.g. (50 Pascals).
Where required by the building official, testing shall be conducted by an approved third
party. A written report of the results of the test shall be signed by the party conducting
the test and provided to the building official. Testing shall be performed at any time after
creation of all penetrations of the building thermal envelope.
During testing:
1. Exterior windows and doors, fireplace and stove doors shall be closed, but not
sealed, beyond the intended weather stripping or other infiltration control
measures.
2. Dampers including exhaust, intake, makeup air, backdraft and flue dampers shall
be closed, but not sealed beyond intended infiltration control measures.
3. Interior doors, where installed at the time of the test, shall be open.
4. Exterior or interior terminations for continuous ventilation systems shall be
sealed.
5. Heating and cooling systems, where installed at the time of the test, shall be
turned off.
6. Supply and return registers, where installed at the time of the test, shall be fully
open.
Note: This provision requires the testing of a new dwelling unit to demonstrate the
building’s air tightness. Section N1102.4.1.2 continues to be national mandate of the
IRC to require blower door tests on every new dwelling. This provision specifies that
when the blower door test determines an air infiltration rate of less than 5 air changes
per hour, whole house ventilation is required. Discussions with the HBA agree that there
is no need to incur the cost of a blower door test to determine that today’s dwellings
have an air infiltration rate of less than 5 air changes per hour. As dwelling envelopes
become more air-tight, there is evidence that indoor contaminant levels are rising. Poor
indoor air quality, the inability to rely on openable windows for natural ventilation with
South Dakota’s winters, and the decreasing rates of air-infiltration have led the code to
require mechanical ventilation consisting of bringing in outside air and exhausting inside
air in dwellings. This provision is modified locally to say that whole house ventilation is
not required if a builder chooses to prove by means of a blower door test that the
dwelling exceeds an air infiltration rate of greater than 5 air changes per hour, which by
today’s building practices is a very high rate of infiltration. The HBA considered such a
test as an unwarranted cost to the homeowner and requested that the mandate be
deleted.

the city. In Climate Zones 3 through 8, where open combustion air ducts provide
combustion air to open combustion fuel-burning appliances, the appliances and
combustion air opening shall be located outside the building thermal envelope or
enclosed in a room that is isolated from inside the thermal envelope. Such rooms shall
be sealed and insulated in accordance with the envelope requirements of Table
N1102.1.2, where the walls, floors and ceilings shall meet a minimum of the basement
wall R-value requirement. The door into the room shall be fully gasketed and any water
lines and ducts in the room insulated in accordance with Section N1103. The
combustion air duct shall be insulated where it passes through conditioned space to an
R-value of not less than R-8.
Exceptions:
1. Direct vent appliances with both intake and exhaust pipes installed continuous to
the outside.
2. Fireplaces and stoves complying with Sections N1102.4.2 and R1006.
Note: This provision to insulate a mechanical room where an outside combustion air
opening is provided to the mechanical room was not supported by the BOA.
N1103.3.3 (R403.3.3) Duct testing (Mandatory). Not Adopted by the City. Ducts shall
be pressure tested to determine air leakage by one of the following methods:
1. Rough-in test: Total leakage shall be measured with a pressure differential of 0.1
inch w.g. (25 Pa) across the system, including the manufacturer’s air handler
enclosure if installed at the time of the test. Registers shall be taped or otherwise

Resolution
Resolution 21-024
A Resolution Replacing the Mandatory Provisions set forth in
Emergency Ordinance 21-001 with Recommendations to Address a
Public Health Crisis and Slow the Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19)
in the City of Brookings, South Dakota.
I.
Be It Resolved and adopted by the Council of the City of Brookings, State of South
Dakota, as follows:
Whereas, the City of Brookings has the authority purs uant to SDCL 9-29-1 and
SDCL 9-32-1 to pass ordinances and resolutions for the purpose of promoting the
health, safety and general welfare of the community, and to do what may be
necessary for the promotion of health or the suppression of diseases; and
Whereas, COVID-19 has been confirmed in more than 100 countries, including the
United States; and
Whereas, COVID-19 is a continuing global pandemic. United States Supreme Court
Chief Justice Roberts stated in a 2020 decision “people may be infected but
asymptomatic, [and] they may unwittingly infect others”; and
Whereas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health
Organization, medical and scientific associations and physicians continue to suggest
individuals wear a face covering to slow the spread of COVID-19; and
Whereas, Ordinance 21-001 was adopted to continue necessary procedures to slow the
rise of positive cases of COVID-19 and slow down the rate of infection, and therefore
bore a real and substantial relationship to public health because the measures were
recognized to be the best available procedures to slow the rate of transmission of
COVID-19; and
Whereas, the current rate of infections and community spread of COVID-19 in
Brookings, South Dakota, together with the increasing number of vaccinated residents
of Brookings County and within the State of South Dakota, and the reduction of
hospitalizations provide the basis for replacing the mandatory restrictions set forth in
Ordinance 21-001 with the recommendations set forth in this Resolution; and
Whereas, the intent of this Resolution is to encourage the public to continue the safety
measures provided in this Resolution which, outside of the vaccines, remain reasonable
measures available to reduce the spread of COVID-19; and
Whereas, while many States and Cities have recently revised their C OVID-19
safety protocols, the City of Brookings and many States and communities across
the country continue to encourage the public to follow White House and CDC
recommendations by restricting occupancy at bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms,
and other indoor and outdoor venues where people congregate until the public
health emergency is over; and
Whereas, the failure to follow reasonable recommendations, including social
distancing would likely result in higher numbers of infected individuals and has the
potential to threaten the capacity of the City's health care providers; and
Whereas, it is important that control measures, including use of face masks in
indoor places, continue to be taken to reduce or slow down the spread of COVID -19
in order to protect the health and safety of the City's residents, especially seniors
and those with underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable
to COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings has been utilizing Ordinance 21-001 to address the
COVID-19 public emergency in the City of Brookings; and
Whereas, based on the number of cases in Brookings County, the number of
current hospitalizations in the City, and the available modeling, the City Council
believes the occupancy, social distancing and face covering restrictions set forth in
21-001 can be replaced with similar recommendations which, while not mandatory,
will reduce the potential for community spread of COVID-19 cases in the City and
State.
Now, Therefore, the City Council of the City of Brookings makes the following
recommendations:
1. Any businesses identified in Ordinance 20-005 may reopen or remain
open to serve patrons on-site.
2. Businesses within the City of Brookings which are open to the public
are encouraged to follow guidelines to slow the spread of COVID-19:
a) Establish a minimum six-foot distance between any tables. This
provision does not need to be observed between members of the
same household.
b) All businesses should collaborate with the City to identify their
occupancy allowance and post it in a conspicuous location outside
the building.
c) Restaurants, bars, and casinos should be limited to a maximum
capacity of one-half (½) of their maximum posted capacity.
Capacity should be posted at the front of the business.
d) All restaurants, food trucks and bars should disinfect or dispose of
all menus before and after use by each customer. Condiment
containers should be cleaned/disinfected between each group and
should not be shared among multiple groups. Salad bars and self-
service buffets are permitted, but not recommended.
e) Grocery stores, retail businesses, recreation and fitness businesses
should be limited to a maximum capacity of one-half (½) of their
maximum posted capacity. Capacity must be posted at the front of
the business.
f) Businesses should require social distance spacing while customers
or patrons are waiting for service or entry into a business. Spacing
may be accomplished by requiring people to remain in their
vehicles.
g) In retail and grocery businesses, businesses should install a
plexiglass, or similar divider where physically possible between the
cashier and customer.
h) Businesses should require employees to wash hands at regular
intervals.
i) Restaurant and bar (those businesses with an alcoholic beverage
license) staff and employees should wear masks which cover the
employee's nose and mouth.

and barber shops should wear masks which cover their nose and
mouth during customer contact times. Customer seating should be

l) In gyms and fitness facilities, any equipment and/or exercise mats
should be cleaned or disinfected between each use.
m) Customer seating in theaters and similar businesses should be
reduced to allow for social distancing, with certain seats marked as
"not available due to social distancing guidelines" to ensure
compliance.
n) Hand sanitizer locations readily available for public use should be
made available at grocery stores and retail businesses.
o) Enhanced cleaning/disinfecting requirements should be used for
motel and hotel rooms.
p) Seating for large gatherings should be reduced to comply with a six-
foot minimum distance between attendees.
q) Businesses are encouraged to conduct daily employee screenings
for illness.
r) Businesses are encouraged to post signage outside of their facility
that encourages customers to wear face coverings and to not enter
if they are not feeling well or have COVID-19 symptoms.
s) Businesses are encouraged to develop risk mitigation strategies for
restrooms or other areas where social distancing requirements are
likely to be compromised.
t) Certain businesses (e.g. gym, recreation facilities, casinos, etc.) are
encouraged to have customers wipe down their
equipment/machines before and after use. However, businesses
are recommended to ensure proper cleaning and disinfecting of
equipment and surfaces potentially touched by customers and
patrons is occurring.
u) Businesses, particularly salons, barber shops, and spas are
encouraged to provide service on an appointment-only basis to
ensure proper social distancing and hygiene practices are met.
v) Masks should be worn at city-sanctioned events. Masks which
cover a person's nose and mouth should be required for all persons
attending or working at events which require a City permit when a
minimum of six – foot distance cannot be maintained or achieved.
w) Masks should be worn when obtaining services from the healthcare
sector in settings, including but not limited to, a hospital, pharmacy,

blood bank, unless directed otherwise by an employee thereof or a
health care provider.
x) Masks should be worn while riding on public transportation or while in a
taxi, private car service, or ride-sharing vehicle.
3. The following individuals are exempt from wearing masks or other face
coverings:
a) Persons age five years or under; Children age two years and under in
particular should not wear a face covering because of the risk of
suffocation;
b) Persons with a medical condition, mental health condition, or disability
that prevents wearing a face covering. This includes persons with a
medical condition for whom wearing a face covering could obstruct

to remove a face covering without assistance;
c) Persons who are deaf or hard of hearing, or when communicating with
a person who is deaf or hard of hearing, where the ability to see the
mouth is essential for communication;
d) Persons for whom wearing a face covering would create a risk to the
person related to their work, as determined by local, state, or federal
regulations or workplace safety guidelines;
e) Persons who are obtaining a service involving the nose or face for
which temporary removal of the face covering is necessary to perform
the service;
f) Persons who are seated at a restaurant or other establishment that
offers food or beverage service, while they are eating or drinking,
provided they maintain a 6-foot distance between individuals (not
including individuals who reside together or are seated together) with
only infrequent or incidental moments of closer proximity;
g) Athletes and participants who are engaged in an organized sports
activity that allows athletes to maintain a 6-foot distance from others
with only infrequent or incidental moments of closer proximity;
h) Persons who are engaged in an activity that a professional or
recreational association, public regulatory entity, medical association,
or other public health oriented entity has determined cannot be safely

5. The City encourages all members of the public within the City of
Brookings to continue to follow the CDC guidelines and recommended
hygiene practices, including, but not limited to, engaging in social

I.
Be It Ordained and Enacted by the Council of the City of Brookings, State of South

Whereas, the City of Brookings has the authority pursuant to SDCL 9-29-1 and
SDCL 9- 32-1 to pass ordinances for the purpose of promoting the health, safety
and general welfare of the community, and to do what may be necessary for the
promotion of health or the suppression of diseases; and
Whereas, COVID-19 has been confirmed in more than 100 countries, including the
United States; and
Whereas, COVID-19 is a continuing global pandemic. United States Supreme Court
Chief Justice Roberts stated in a 2020 decision “people may be infected but
asymptomatic, [and] they may unwittingly infect others”; and
Whereas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health
Organization, medical and scientific associations and physicians continue t o suggest
individuals wear a face covering to slow the spread of COVID-19; and
Whereas, Ordinance 21-001 and this ordinance are intended to continue necessary
procedures to slow the rise of positive cases of COVID-19 and slow down the rate of
infection, and therefore bears a real and substantial relationship to public health
because the measures are recognized to be the best available procedures to slow the
rate of transmission of COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings and many States and communities across the
country continue to implement White House and CDC recommendations by
restricting occupancy at bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and
outdoor venues where people congregate until the public health emergency is over;
and
Whereas, the failure to successfully implement social distancing would likely result
in higher numbers of infected individuals and has the potential to threaten the
capacity of the City's health care providers; and
Whereas, it is important that control measures, including requiring face masks in
indoor places, continue to be taken to reduce or slow down the spread of COVID -19
in order to protect the health and safety of the City's residents, especially seniors
and those with underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable
to COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings has been utilizing Ordinance 21-001 to address the
COVID-19 public emergency in the City of Brookings; and
Whereas, based on the number of cases in Brookings County, the number of past
hospitalizations in the City, and the available modeling, the City Council believes
the occupancy, social distancing and face covering restrictions should be continued
given the continuing potential for community spread of COVID-19 cases in the City
and State, and
Whereas, this Emergency Ordinance is intended to extend certain emergency
measures and restrictions as previously set forth in Emergency Ordinance 21-001.
Now Therefore, Be It Ordained by the City Council of Brookings as follows:
1. Any businesses identified in Ordinance 20-005 may reopen or remain open

Ordinance 21-012
An Emergency Ordinance Amending Emergency Ordinance 20-001 to Extend and
to Comprehensively Adopt Provisions to Address a Public Health Crisis and to
Revise Certain Measures which are Necessary for the Immediate
Preservation of the Public Health, Safety and Welfare of the City and are
Necessary to Slow the Community Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the City
of Brookings, South Dakota.
I.
Be It Ordained and Enacted by the Council of the City of Brookings, State of South
Dakota, as follows:
Whereas, the City of Brookings has the authority pursuant to SDCL 9-29-1 and
SDCL 9- 32-1 to pass ordinances for the purpose of promoting the health, safety
and general welfare of the community, and to do what may be necessary for the
promotion of health or the suppression of diseases; and
Whereas, COVID-19 has been confirmed in more than 100 countries, including the
United States; and
Whereas, COVID-19 is a continuing global pandemic. United States Supreme Court
Chief Justice Roberts stated in a 2020 decision “people may be infected but
asymptomatic, [and] they may unwittingly infect others”; and
Whereas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health
Organization, medical and scientific associations and physicians continue t o suggest
individuals wear a face covering to slow the spread of COVID-19; and
Whereas, Ordinance 20-029 and this ordinance are intended to continue necessary
procedures to slow the rise of positive cases of COVID-19 and slow down the rate of
infection, and therefore bears a real and substantial relationship to public health
because the measures are recognized to be the best available procedures to slow the
rate of transmission of COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings and many States and communities across the
country continue to implement White House and CDC recommendations by
restricting occupancy at bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and
outdoor venues where people congregate until the public health emergency is over;
and
Whereas, the failure to successfully implement social distancing would likely result
in higher numbers of infected individuals and has the potential to threaten the
capacity of the City's health care providers; and
Whereas, it is important that control measures, including requiring face masks in
indoor places, continue to be taken to reduce or slow down the spread of COVID -19
in order to protect the health and safety of the City's residents, especially seniors
and those with underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable
to COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings has been utilizing Ordinance 20-029 to address the
COVID-19 public emergency in the City of Brookings; and
Whereas, based on the number of cases in Brookings County, the number of past
hospitalizations in the City, and the available modeling, the City Council believes
the occupancy, social distancing and face covering restrictions should be continued
given the continuing potential for community spread of COVID-19 cases in the City
and State, and
Whereas, this Emergency Ordinance is intended to extend certain emergency
measures and restrictions as previously set forth in Emergency Ordinance 20-029.
Now Therefore, Be It Ordained by the City Council of Brookings as follows:
1. Any businesses identified in Ordinance 20-005 may reopen or remain open
to serve patrons on-site pursuant to the conditions established in this
ordinance.
2. Businesses within the City of Brookings which are open to the public shall
observe the following guidelines to slow the spread of COVID-19:

b) All businesses shall collaborate with the City to identify their occupancy
allowance and post it in a conspicuous location outside the building.
c) Restaurants, bars, and casinos shall be limited to a maximum capacity of
one-half (½) of their maximum posted capacity. Capacity must be posted

to be compromised.
t) Certain businesses (e.g. gym, recreation facilities, casinos, etc.) are

workplace safety guidelines;
e) Persons who are obtaining a service involving the nose or face for which
temporary removal of the face covering is necessary to perform the service;
f) Persons who are seated at a restaurant or other establishment that offers

schools through 12th grade, colleges, and universities have implemented
protections to slow the spread of COVID-19.
j) Persons engaged in church and activities within religious places of worship,
including preschools, social halls and chapels within church facilities, which
may implement their own protections.
4. In addition to the specific requirements listed above, businesses shall
operate in a manner consistent with the most recent CDC guidelines and any
applicable state regulations and the South Dakota Governor's Executive
Orders. CDC guidelines continue to recommend use of face coverings where
social distancing cannot be maintained.
5. The City encourages all members of the public within the City of Brookings to
continue to follow the CDC guidelines and recommended hygiene practices,
including, but not limited to, engaging in social distancing, and wearing
masks when outside their homes wherever possible.
6. Businesses can request administrative exceptions from the City that allow
them to modify the strict compliance with these requirements so long as their
proposal contains alternative means to implement social distancing or hygiene
requirements. The City will not approve exceptions which completely exempt
a business from implementing social distancing, or from following this
ordinance or the CDC guidelines.
7. Any person, business entity, owner, or supervising manager of any business
that is not in compliance with these regulations, or an approved alternative
plan pursuant to Section 6. above, shall be in violation of this Ordinance.

An Emergency Ordinance Amending Emergency Ordinance 20-001 to Extend and
to Comprehensively Adopt Provisions to Address a Public Health Crisis and to
Revise Certain Measures which are Necessary for the Immediate
Preservation of the Public Health, Safety and Welfare of the City and are
Necessary to Slow the Community Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the City
of Brookings, South Dakota.
I.
Be It Ordained and Enacted by the Council of the City of Brookings, State of South
Dakota, as follows:
Whereas, the City of Brookings has the authority pursuant to SDCL 9-29-1 and
SDCL 9- 32-1 to pass ordinances for the purpose of promoting the health, safety
and general welfare of the community, and to do what may be necessary for the
promotion of health or the suppression of diseases; and
Whereas, COVID-19 has been confirmed in more than 100 countries, including the
United States; and
Whereas, COVID-19 is a continuing global pandemic. United States Supreme Court
Chief Justice Roberts stated in a 2020 decision “people may be infected but
asymptomatic, [and] they may unwittingly infect others”; and
Whereas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health
Organization, medical and scientific associations and physicians continue to
suggest individuals wear a face covering to slow the spread of COVID-19; and
Whereas, Ordinance 20-029 and this ordinance are intended to continue necessary
procedures to slow the rise of positive cases of COVID-19 and slow down the rate of
infection, and therefore bears a real and substantial relationship to public health
because the measures are recognized to be the best available procedures to slow the
rate of transmission of COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings and many States and communiti es across the
country continue to implement have already implemented White House and CDC
recommendations by restricting occupancy at bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms,
and other indoor and outdoor venues where people congregate until the public
health emergency is over; and
Whereas, the failure to successfully implement social distancing would likely result
in higher numbers of infected individuals and has the potential to threaten or
overwhelm the capacity of the City's health care providers; and
Whereas, it is important that control measures, including requiring face masks in
indoor places, continue to be taken to reduce or slow down the spread of COVID -19
in order to protect the health and safety of the City's residents, especially seniors
and those with underlying health conditions that make them particularly vulnerable
to COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings has been utilizing Ordinance 20-029 to address the
COVID-19 public emergency in the City of Brookings, and
Whereas, based on the number of cases in Brookings County, the number of past
hospitalizations in the City, and the available modeling, the City Council believes
the occupancy, social distancing and face covering restrictions should be continued
given the continuing potential for community spread of COVID-19 cases in the City
and State, and
Whereas, this Emergency Ordinance is intended to extend certain, in
comprehensive form, the emergency measures and restrictions as previously set
forth in Emergency Ordinance 20- 029.

Mandate
Person(s) Responsible: Paul Briseno, City Manager
Summary:
Ordinance 21-001, which currently regulates bars, restaurants, salons, retail and
requires face coverings for indoor businesses and indoor public spaces will expire April
10, 2021. Brookings County has transitioned community spread from moderate to
substantial, hospitalization is low, cases is minimized, and only a portion of the triggers
is met. Staff recommends Ordinance 21-013 with appropriate City Council changes.
Any substantial increases in cases by March 23rd should be considered in determining
the appropriate ordinance for implementation.
Background:
On September 8, 2020 City Council approved an Ordinance mandating face coverings
where social distancing is not achievable for indoor businesses and public places. The
Council renewed the existing regulation that requires bars, restaurants, casinos,
grocery, retail, and fitness businesses to operate at half capacity. Employees of certain
businesses are required to wear face coverings at all times.
Discussion:
Brookings County is in substantial spread. The seven-day rolling percent positivity,
according to the hospital's dashboard, is 6.8%. Brookings County was ranked sixth of
cases per one-hundred thousand of the counties with the top ten most populous cities.
More importantly, Brookings County has the lowest total deaths of the same
comparison. Approximately 1,028 vaccinations were given at the February 25th event,
and multiple mass vaccinations will occur in March and April. By early to mid-April, 1E is
projected to be complete. Brookings County has achieved case counts similar to fall
2020.
Ordinance 21-013 keeps the existing mask mandate, requires masks for employees of
specific businesses. The Ordinance eliminates the occupancy regulation and further
transitions many business requirements to recommendations.

3. Refer to a Study Session
4. Deny

^ Calculated as sum of 7-days of previous positive cases/sum of 7-days of total tests completed*100. Duplicate tests on same individual not included.
Used total cases and total persons tested on DOH website (includes sentinel & surveillance samples).
The rate of positivity provides insight into whether enough testing is being conducted. If positivity is high, it suggests that the sickest are being tested
and milder or asymptomatic cases may be missed. The WHO has said that in countries that have extensive testing for COVID-19, percent positive
should remain at 5% or lower for at least 14 days.
Over the last 7-days:
% positive tests among people tested = 24%
% positive tests among total tests done = 5%
% positive PCR tests on DOH dashboard = 8%

Ordinance 21-013
An Emergency Ordinance Amending Emergency Ordinance 21 -001 to Extend
Certain Provisions to Address a Public Health Crisis and to Revise Certain
Measures which are Necessary for the Immediate
Preservation of the Public Health, Safety and Welfare of the City and are
Necessary to Slow the Community Spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the City
of Brookings, South Dakota.
I.
Be It Ordained and Enacted by the Council of the City of Brookings, State of South
Dakota, as follows:
Whereas, the City of Brookings has the authority pursuant to SDCL 9-29-1 and
SDCL 9- 32-1 to pass ordinances for the purpose of promoting the health, safety
and general welfare of the community, and to do what may be necessary for the
promotion of health or the suppression of diseases; and
Whereas, COVID-19 has been confirmed in more than 100 countries, including the
United States; and
Whereas, COVID-19 is a continuing global pandemic. United States Supreme Court
Chief Justice Roberts stated in a 2020 decision “people may be infected but
asymptomatic, [and] they may unwittingly infect others”; and
Whereas, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health
Organization, medical and scientific associations and physicians continue to suggest
individuals wear a face covering to slow the spread of COVID-19; and
Whereas, Ordinance 21-001 and this ordinance are intended to continue necessary
procedures to slow the rise of positive cases of COVID-19 and slow down the rate of
infection, and therefore bears a real and substantial relationship to public health
because the measures are recognized to be the best available procedures to slow the
rate of transmission of COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings and many States and communities across the
country continue to implement White House and CDC recommendations by
restricting occupancy at bars, restaurants, food courts, gyms, and other indoor and
outdoor venues where people congregate until the public health emergency is over;
and
Whereas, the failure to successfully implement social distancing would likely result
in higher numbers of infected individuals and has the potential to threaten the
capacity of the City's health care providers; and
Whereas, it is important that control measures, including requiring face masks in
indoor places, continue to be taken to reduce or slow down the spread of COVID -
19 in order to protect the health and safety of the City's residents, especially
seniors and those with underlying health conditions that make them particularly
vulnerable to COVID-19; and
Whereas, the City of Brookings has been utilizing Ordinance 21-001 to address the
COVID-19 public emergency in the City of Brookings, and
Whereas, based on the number of cases in Brookings County, the number of past
hospitalizations in the City, and the available modeling, the City Council believes
face covering restrictions should be continued given the continuing potential for
community spread of COVID-19 cases in the City and State, and
Whereas, this Emergency Ordinance is int ended to extend certain emergency
measures and restrictions as previously set forth in Emergency Ordinance 21-001.
Now Therefore, Be It Ordained by the City Council of Brookings as follows:

restrooms or other areas where social distancing requirements are
likely to be compromised.
h) Certain businesses (e.g. gym, recreation facilities, casinos, etc.)

g) Athletes and participants who are engaged in an organized sports

6. Businesses can request administrative exceptions from the City that
allow them to modify the strict compliance with these requirements so
long as their proposal contains alternative means to implement social
distancing or hygiene requirements. The City will not approve
exceptions which completely exempt a business from implementing
social distancing, or from following this ordinance or the CDC
guidelines.
7. Any person, business entity, owner, or supervising manager of any
business that is not in compliance with these regulations, or an
approved alternative plan pursuant to Section 6. above, shall be in
violation of this Ordinance.

Public Hearing and Action on reconsideration of Ordinance 21-004, an Ordinance revising Division 3
of Chapter 82 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of Brookings and Pertaining to Speed Zones in
the City of Brookings, South Dakota.
Summary:
The street construction on 20th Street South was completed in 2020 with a widened roadway,
concrete shared-use path and street lights to enhance traffic and pedestrian safety. The speed limit
had been previously reduced to 25 miles per hour (mph) between Western Avenue South and Main
Avenue South after Dakota Prairie School was opened. After the street reconstruction was
completed, the Engineering Department performed speed studies on the segment between Western
Avenue South and Main Avenue South in September and October, 2020. The study showed the 85 th
percentile was 36 mph for the east-bound direction and 37 mph for the west-bound direction.
The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) describes the guidance for setting roadway
speeds is to use the 85th percentile speed as target and the speed should be within 5 mph of the 85th
percentile. Staff is recommending that the speed limit be changed to 35 miles per hour using the
MUTCD guidance. A comparison of collector street speeds was developed for comparison.

From: Jackie Lanning, City Engineer
Council Meeting: February 9, 2021 / February 23, 2021/ Reconsideration
March 23, 2021
Subject: Ordinance 21-004, an Ordinance Revising Division 3 of
Chapter 82 of the Code of Ordinances of the City of
Brookings and Pertaining to Speed Zones in the City of
Brookings, South Dakota.
Person(s) Responsible: Jackie Lanning, City Engineer
Summary:
The street construction on 20th Street South was completed in 2020 with a widened
roadway, concrete shared-use path and street lights to enhance traffic and pedestrian
safety. After the street reconstruction was completed, the Engineering Department
performed speed studies on the segment between Western Avenue South and Main
Avenue South in September and October, 2020. The study showed the 85 th percentile
was 36 mph for the east-bound direction and 37 mph for the west-bound direction. Staff
is recommending to change the speed limit to 35 mph between Western Avenue South
and Main Avenue South.
Background:
The speed limit on 20th Street South, west of Main Avenue South, was originally set at
35 miles per hour (mph). In 2015, the speed limit was lowered to 25 mph on 20th Street
South between Western Avenue South and Main Avenue South. At that time, there
were concerns about pedestrian traffic near Dakota Prairie School and pedestrians
crossing 20th Street South when there were no sidewalks or street lights in the area.
Item Details:
The street construction on 20th Street South was completed in 2020 with a widened
roadway, concrete shared-use path and street lights to enhance traffic and pedestrian
safety. The Engineering Department performed speed studies on the segment between
Western Avenue South and Main Avenue South in September and October, 2020. The
data showed the number of speeders and the average speed of all the vehicles was
approximately 31 mph. From the study, the 85th percentile was 36 mph for the east-
bound direction and 37 mph for the west-bound direction.
The Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) describes the guidance for
setting roadway speeds is to use the 85th percentile speed as target and the speed
should be within 5 mph of the 85th percentile: “When a speed limit within a speed zone
is posted, it should be within 5 mph of the 85th percentile speed of free-flowing traffic”.
The Traffic Safety Committee discussed the speed limit at their December 10, 2020
meeting. At the meeting, Police Chief Dave Erickson described that since the road was
reconstructed, drivers have the sense that the road is 35 mph. The other segments of
20th Street South are also set at 35 mph. The committee voted to recommend the
speed limit change with 6 yes votes and 1 no vote.
Staff is recommending that speed limit of 20th Street South between Western Avenue
South and Main Avenue South be changed to 35 mph. A speed comparison map is
provided that indicates the speeds of collector streets in the area.
Legal Consideration:
The speed limit change is allowed by City Ordinance Section 82-305, whereby the City
Council is authorized to determine and establish speed zones on streets and may
change the speed limit at any time it may deem necessary.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Changing the speed limit per the MUTCD guidance allows traffic to flow in a sustainable
manner with fuel usage and provides connectivity in the community on the arterial
street.
Financial Consideration:
None
Options and Recommendation:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend
3. Deny
4. Move the item to a work session
5. Do nothing
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as presented.

BROOKINGS TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
City & County Government Center, 520 3rd Street
Online: Go To Meeting
Thursday, December 10, 2020
12:10 p.m.
The Brookings Traffic Safety Committee held its monthly meeting on Thursday, December
10, 2020 at 12:10pm in the City & County Government Center, Room 300.
Members Present: Jackie Lanning, Dave Erickson, Charles Schnabel, Don Norton, Jake
McGlade, Justin Bucher, and Brian Lueders.
Members Absent: Kacie Richard, Tony Sonnenburg, Matt Bartley, Gary Gramm, Stacy
Perry, Tim Heaton, and Lewayne Erickson.
Others Present:
Call to Order: Justin Bucher called the meeting to order.
Approval of Minutes: B.Lueders / J. McGlade made a motion to approve the minutes
from the February meeting. All present voted aye. Motion passed.
B.Lueders / C. Schnabel made a motion to approve the minutes from the September
meeting. All present voted aye. Motion passed.
Additions to Agenda:
Old Business:
Request for 35 mph speed limit on 20th Street South between Western Avenue S. and
Main Avenue S.
J. Lanning gave some history on how this speed limit on 20th Street South was changed
from 35 mph to 25mph. In 2015, when the Dakota Prairie School was opening there was
concern about students walking in the road and crossing 20th Street South due to the
school’s traffic. At that time, 20th Street South was a 2 lane road with ditches and it did not
have sidewalks or street lights. The committee was concerned about pedestrian safety so
they recommended changing the speed limit from 35mph to 25mph. She described that
now the street has been widened and there are sidewalks and street lights installed.
Lanning described a speed study they did in September and October. The data showed
the number of speeders and the average speed was about 31 mph. The Manual of
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) describes the guidance for speeds is to use the
85th-percentile speed as a target and the speed should be within 5 mph of the 85%
percentile. D. Erickson described that there is a short segment of 20th Street South
between Western Avenue and Main Avenue that is 25 mph. He said since the road is
opened to three lanes and the shared use path is on the side, it gives the drivers the sense
that the road is 35 mph. The citizens he has heard from said that this area should be
treated the same as the rest of 20th Street South and be 35 mph. B. Lueders asked if
2
there are crosswalks installed. J. Lanning said there are ramps and pedestrian crossing
signage at the intersection of Larkspur Ridge Drive and 20th Street South, but the
crosswalks are not painted. J. Bucher stated he also had citizens asked when this area
will get changed back to 35mph. B. Lueders said he was concerned with the hill and if the
speed limit increased, he was concerned with the safety of children crossing the street. C.
Schnabel stated looking at the data vehicles are traveling that speed already and there
hasn’t been any issues. D. Erickson confirmed there ha d been no accidents in this area. J.
Lanning stated their department has a traffic camera they could install in the spring and
monitor how many children are crossing 20th Street South at Larkspur Ridge Road. D.
Erickson/C. Schnabel made the motion to approve changing the speed limit to 35
mph on 20th Street South between Western Avenue South and Main Avenue South.
6 members voted aye, 1 member voted no (Lueders). Motion approved.
New Business:
Discussion on stop sign safety at the intersection of 8th Street and Medary Avenue
J. Lanning stated this has not been implemented the street department is looking into see
if they have the flashing lights.
Request to remove one parking stall on 5th Street between Main Avenue and 5th Avenue
J. Lanning showed a picture of the parking stall that was requested for removal, lo cated on
the west side of the Post Office driveway onto 5th Street. The stall is located where part of
the stall protrudes into the driveway exit area, causing visibility issues. There was
discussion at the September meeting where this committee recommended to remove the
parking stall. Due to no quorum at that meeting, no action was taken. C. Schnabel/D.
Norton made a motion to approve the removal of the one parking stall on 5th Street
between Main Avenue and 5th Street on the west side of the Post Office driveway. All
present voted aye. Motion passed.
Member Reports:
B. Lueders would like the City to monitor the children along 20th Street South between
Western Avenue S. and Main Avenue S. area in the spring.
The next meeting is scheduled for January 14, 2021. Meeting adjourned.

Background:
The applicant is requesting a rezone of 1402 and 1404 6th Street. The parcels are
currently zoned Business B-2A Office District. The applicant is requesting a rezone to

Drew. Also present were Community Development Director Mike Struck, City Planner Ryan Miller,

Item #4a - VK Properties Inc has submitted a rezone request for the W60’ of E120’ of Aldrichs
Addition and E60’ of Aldrichs Addition, also known as 1402 and 1404 6th Street.
(Rasmussen/Mills) Motion to approve the rezone request. All present voted aye. MOTION
CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #4a – The applicant is requesting to rezone from a Business B-2A Office District to a Business
B-2 District. These lots are currently occupied by residential properties used for rental purposes. The
applicant plans to demolish these structures and rebuild for commercial use. There are multiple
adjacent zoning districts in this area. The Comprehensive Plan does show this area with intended uses
as mixed housing types, commercial, office and service uses.
James Drew is representing this request on behalf of the applicant. The proposed project is an
approximate 2,200 sf, one-story building that will be situated on a lot of approximately 24,000 square
feet. The building will have architectural design to be aesthetically appealing. The property to the east
has fencing, but the proposal does follow the required buffer yard and landscaping, but they will be
willing to add additional plantings if necessary. The parking lot will have adequate room to allow for
turning and there will not be a need for traffic to back in to 6th Street.
Woods – 1335 5th Street is concerned about the noise and lighting from vehicles on this property. He
is not in favor of this request.
Kathy Larsen and her husband Jay have been residents at 1353 5th Street for 40+ years. They are
against this rezone request. The B-2A zoning versus the B-2 zoning is significant. She feels that
appropriate transition should be made between residential and commercial and the B-2 zoning isn’t a
good option for this transition. The lighting that will be installed for this development will be
significant and will have a negative impact on them and their property. The traffic increase due to a
business being built here is also a concern since the pool and park are so close. Larsen feels that there
is a chance for fewer potential problems with the B-2A zoning. The Larsen’s submitted a letter
describing reasons for denial of the request.
Ms. Squires lives in this area and she is concerned about the children in this area and their safety. She
would like the Commission to consider safety of the neighbors/neighborhood.
Struck explained that the parking requirements in this zone will require the building to be quite small.
The building is planned to be 18 feet tall which is actually lower than the roof line of the neighboring
houses.
Patty Dexter is concerned that the people living in these houses won’t have a place to go to.
Mills asked for clarification on the bufferyard requirements. Struck explained these requirements for
the B-2A District between a residential zone and the B-2A. There are options available that will
require additional bufferyard area if the tree planting requirements won’t be/can’t be met.

Public Hearing and Action on Ordinance 21-007, an Ordinance to Rezone Lot 1 and 2, Block 2,
Telkamp Industrial Addition from I-1R to I-1.
Summary:
TK Samuelson Enterprises, LLC and Daktronics, Inc. have submitted a petition to rezone two parcels
of land totaling 5.08 acres of land from I-1R to I-1.
Background:
The applicant is requesting a rezone of Lots 1 & 2 of Block 2 in the Telkamp Industrial Addition. The
parcels are currently zoned Industrial I-1R Restricted District. The applicant is requesting a rezone to
Industrial I-1 Light District.
The lots are currently vacant and located in the Telkamp Industrial Addition. The applicant wishes to
establish an industrial use and is seeking the I-1 zoning classification. Property to the north and east
are zoned I-1, while property to the south and west are zoned I-1R.
The current I-1R Zoning District is intended to provide for aesthetically designed industrial areas
primarily near and adjacent to major arterials. Additional design standards, a lot coverage maximum,
and stricter set backs are included in the I-1R district. The nearest arterial street is 34th Avenue,
however, neither of lots abut 34th Avenue. Interstate 29 is also nearby but not abutting.
The Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map identifies this area as General Industry (GI) of
which the Industrial I-1 Light District is compatible.
Recommendations
The Planning Commission voted 7-0 recommending approval of the rezoning request.

Industrial I-1R Restricted District to Industrial I-1 Light
District.
Person(s) Responsible: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary:
TK Samuelson Enterprises, LLC and Daktronics, Inc. have submitted a petition to
rezone two parcels of land totaling 5.08 acres of land from I-1R to I-1.
Background:
The applicant is requesting a rezone of Lots 1 & 2 of Block 2 in the Telkamp Industrial
Addition. The parcels are currently zoned Industrial I-1R Restricted District. The
applicant is requesting a rezone to Industrial I-1 Light District.
The lots are currently vacant and located in the Telkamp Industrial Addition. The
applicant wishes to establish an industrial use and is seeking the I -1 zoning
classification. Property to the north and east are zoned I -1, while property to the south
and west are zoned I-1R.
The current I-1R Zoning District is intended to provide for aesthetically designed
industrial areas primarily near and adjacent to major arterials. Additional design
standards, a lot coverage maximum, and stricter set backs are included in the I -1R
District. The nearest arterial street is 34th Avenue; However, neither of lots abut 34th
Avenue. Interstate 29 is also nearby but not abutting.
The Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use Map identifies this area as General
Industry (GI) of which the Industrial I-1 Light District is compatible.
Legal Consideration:
None
Financial Consideration:
None
Strategic Plan Consideration:
The proposed zoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan’s Land Use Plan. The
rezone is consistent with the 2018-2023 Strategic Plan, specifically promoting economic
expansion of retail, commercial, industrial, and tech-related development of new and
existing businesses.
Options:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend
3. Deny
4. Move the item to a Study Session

Person(s) Responsible: Bonnie Foster, City Clerk
Summary:
The City of Brookings has received an application for an On-Off Sale Malt License, with

Erickson, owners, 600 6th Street. Legal description: Lots 5-7, Block 11, Second
Addition, Suite B. All required documents have been submitted for this application.
The video lottery request will be handled under separate City Council action.
Background:
MG Oil Company, Marlyn Erickson and Troy Erickson, owners, purchased the business
at 600 6th Street in November 2020. A transfer of the existing On-Off Sale Malt License,
with video lottery, was approved by the City Council on November 24, 2020. The
owners are wanting an additional On-Off Malt License for Suite B, with up to 10 video
lottery machines. Approval would allow for 2 On-Off Malt Licenses at this location, with
up to 20 video lottery machines.
A public hearing and action by the local governing body is required to approve all
alcohol licenses. The On-Off Sale Malt License would be effective 2021, and is subject
to an annual renewal. If approved, and following the issuance of the Occupancy Permit
by the Community Development Department, the application would be forwarded to the
State Department of Revenue and SD Video Lottery Office for final action and issuance
of the licenses, and would then be subject to annual renewal processes.
Item Details:
MG Oil Company has applied for an additional On -Off Sale Malt License, with video
lottery, for Suite B, allowing up to 10 additional video lottery machines at this location.
Any licenses approved would be effective pending occupancy permit issuance and final

This location will undergo some remodeling in order to add Suite B, which will utilize the

AR 48:02:11:02. Restrictions on multiple alcoholic beverage licenses. Persons
who hold more than one license for the on-sale consumption of alcoholic beverages
may have machines placed for each license issued provided the following requirements
are met:
1) Separate application, qualification, and fees are submitted and approved for each
premises licensed for the on-sale consumption of alcoholic beverages;
2) Separate establishment licenses are issued by the lottery for each premises
licensed for the on-sale consumption of alcoholic beverages;
3) Separate and distinct physical facilities are maintained and utilized for the
sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages for each establishment
license approved by the lottery;
4) No more than one establishment license is issued to any person for the

City Attorney Opinion
Subsections 3 and 4 require separate and distinct physical facilities to be maintained
and used for the sale and consumption for each establishment license approved by the
lottery. This would mean each establishment must be able to serve alcoholic beverages
on its own premises from its own equipment, even if they are housed in the same
building with another establishment.
Section 4 requires a separate establishment for each legally described premises. A
legally described premises, in my opinion, means a separate legal description must
pertain to each establishment licensed. A legal description can be created by a
“recorded deed” which has been filed in the office of the Register of Deeds, or a plat
which identifies each establishment with a separate de scription, such as Lot or Parcel A
or Parcel B. A plat must also be recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds to
create a legal description. Until a legal description is recorded, it cannot create a
subdivision of an existing legal description.

Memorandum
To: Mayor Keith Corbett and Council Members, Jeff Weldon, City Manager, and Shari
Thornes, City Clerk
From: Steven J. Britzman, City Attorney
Date: May 2, 2018
Re: Municipal Regulation of Video Lottery location Pre-empted by State Law
Conclusion: State law does allow a municipality to consider the following criteria for authorizing
video lottery machine placement when issuing an on-sale wine or malt beverage license (no other
type of alcoholic beverage license). The criteria, as fully set forth below, include the number of
establishments currently licensed for video lottery, the proximity of the business to other
establishments licensed for video lottery, the type of business and manner in which the applicant
proposes to operate it, the location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential
areas, or activities within the same general area, the extent to which minors frequent a business
connected to the one proposed, and the effect the proposed business has on economic
development. I believe the final determination is made by the South Dakota lottery, but at least
with respect to two alcoholic beverage license types—on-sale wine and malt beverages—the city
can consider these State law criteria with respect to the decision whether to authorize video
lottery machine placement in the proposed establishment. No other City ordinance or Home
Rule Charter provision is applicable to the decision making. Please let me know if you have any
comments or questions concerning this opinion.
Discussion: The South Dakota Supreme Court case of Law v. City of Sioux Falls (2011),
resolved a number of questions concerning the ability of a municipality to regulate video lottery
and in particular the location of video lottery. The Supreme Court ruled:
It specifically gave only the executive director [of the State Lottery
Commission] the power to approve or disapprove any application for a license.
SDCL 42-7A-57. In doing so, it provided that the director consider the
application’s proposed location…. In only one statute is a municipality given any
power with regard to video lottery. SDCL 42-7A-64 allows a municipality to
consider, when issuing two types of on-sale alcoholic beverage licenses, certain
factors relevant to the placement of video lottery machines. Municipalities,
however, are not given any power to license video lottery establishments, or
otherwise control the location of such establishments. See SDCL 42-7A-64.
[¶14] Based on the character of the obligations imposed by the Legislature,
we see no delegation of power or responsibilities to municipalities and no
entrusting to municipalities the control video lottery. Rather, the statutes place all
burdens upon the State. Thus, we conclude that South Dakota’s legislative video
lottery scheme is sufficiently comprehensive to make reasonable the inference
– 2 – MARCH 17, 2021
2
that the Legislature left no room for supplementary regulation of video lottery by
municipalities. It is immaterial that the City is governed by a home-rule charter or
empowered to enact zoning regulations.
SDCL 42-7A-64 is restricted in its application to applicants for a wine retailer alcoholic
beverage license and to applicants for malt beverage licenses. In these two limited
circumstances, a municipality may consider, in addition to the criteria for the issuance of an on-
sale wine or malt beverage license, “the following criteria for authorizing video lottery machine
placement issued an on-sale wine or malt beverage license”:
(1) The number of establishments currently licensed for video lottery;
(2) The proximity of the business to other establishments licensed for video lottery;
(3) The type of business and manner in which the applicant proposes to operate it;
(4) The location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential areas,
or activities within the same general area;
(5) The extent to which minors frequent a business connected to the one proposed; and
(6) The effect the proposed business has on economic development.
The Full Text of the Statute is set forth below:
42-7A-64 Additional criteria for on-sale alcoholic beverage licensees in video lottery licensed
establishments.
42-7A-64. Additional criteria for on-sale alcoholic beverage licensees in video lottery
licensed establishments. A municipality or county may consider, in addition to the criteria for the
issuance of an on-sale alcoholic beverage license, the following criteria for authorizing video
lottery machine placement in establishments issued an on-sale alcoholic beverage license
pursuant to subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16):
(1) The number of establishments currently licensed for video lottery;
(2) The proximity of the business to other establishments licensed for video lottery;
(3) The type of business and manner in which the applicant proposes to operate it;
(4) The location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential areas,
or activities within the same general area;
(5) The extent to which minors frequent a business connected to the one proposed; and
(6) The effect the proposed business has on economic development.
The governing board shall certify on each application filed with the Department of
Revenue for a license granted under subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16) whether the business
premises is authorized for video lottery machine placement. An existing video lottery license
may not be denied renewal or transfer based upon the criteria set forth in this section. The lottery
may issue a video lottery license to those establishments certified pursuant to this section.
Notwithstanding the above provisions, a county or municipality may not restrict the number of
alcoholic beverage licenses issued under subdivisions 35-4-2(12) and (16) and certified for video
lottery to a number less than those licensed as video lottery establishments on March 1, 1994.

City Attorney Opinion
Subsections 3 and 4 require separate and distinct physical facilities to be maintained
and used for the sale and consumption for each establishment license approved by the
lottery. This would mean each establishment must be able to serve alcoholic beverages
on its own premises from its own equipment, even if they are housed in the same
building with another establishment.
Section 4 requires a separate establishment for each legally described premises. A
legally described premises, in my opinion, means a separate legal description must
pertain to each establishment licensed. A legal description can be created by a
“recorded deed” which has been filed in the office of the Register of Deeds, or a plat
which identifies each establishment with a separate de scription, such as Lot or Parcel A
or Parcel B. A plat must also be recorded in the office of the Register of Deeds to
create a legal description. Until a legal description is recorded, it cannot create a
subdivision of an existing legal description.

Action on Resolution 21-025, a Resolution Vacating Lot H-1 in SE ¼ of Section 36, Township 110
North, Range 50 West.
Summary:
This resolution will vacate a lot intended for future highway purposes that has not been utilized in 40
years and authorize the City to execute a land transfer to the adjacent landowner.
Background:
In 1981, the City acquired Lot H-1 in the Southeast ¼ of Section 36, Township 110 North, Range 50
West for highway purposes. The lot is located along 22nd Avenue between the Americana Addition
and Hyland Addition. The Hyland Addition has since been developed into twin homes and
condominiums and the Americana Addition is a single-family residential development.
The acquisition of the lot was for highway purposes, however, street construction did not progress
west of 22nd Avenue. Rather, 12th Street South provides an east/west connection between 22nd
Avenue and 17th Avenue and 15th Street South provides access to the Americana Addition.
Fiscal Impact:
None.
Recommendation:
The Development Review Team (DRT) reviewed the proposal and supports vacating and transferring
the lot. Staff recommends approval of the resolution as presented.
