From: Paul Briseno, City Manager, and Erick Rangel, Chief
Financial Officer
Council Meeting: January 11, 2022 / January 25, 2022
Subject: Budget Amendment No.1 to the 2022 Budget
Presenter: Paul Briseno, City Manager
Summary:
The City of Brookings prioritizes the funding of economic development agencies to
progress opportunities within the community. The City Council is presented with an
opportunity to develop an Economic Development Master Plan for Brookings. Funds
exist for this endeavor through reserves dedicated to economic development projects.
Background:
The City of Brookings works with many economic development agencies to progress
growth within many community sectors. These agencies include the Convention and
Visitors Bureau, Economic Development Corporation, Chamber of Commerce, and the
Research Park. Approximately $908,932 of funding for these agencies is derived from
the general fund, 3B, pillow tax, and pass-through from Brookings Municipal Utilities.
The City of Brookings does not have a specific economic development masterplan
document for holistic economic efforts. City staff works collectively with each entity as
partners to progress efforts.
Item Details:
Over the past few months, staff has engaged Midwest peer communities to gain insight
into community economic development masterplans.
Many of the entities noted above have been engaged in the discussion to date.
Staff recommends utilizing funds from the Economic Development reserves for a
Community Economic Development Master Plan. The proposed document would
provide a comprehensive review of the current economic development environment for
Brookings and benchmark best practice strategies of peer and aspirational
communities. The analysis will review data, local / regional strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats. The result will be a road map for further action to achieve
prioritized community economic development outcomes in both the short (1 -5 years)
and long (10-20 years) term. Staff estimates the development of such a plan will cost
$100,000.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
This action supports fiscal responsibility by increasing budget authority for anticipated
expenditures and adding transparency regarding the use of restricted reserves.
Financial Consideration:
This action will use $100,000 of the City’s Economic Development Reserve s, increasing
the 2022’s expenditure budget by the same amount. The reserves contain adequate
funds. This fund was created to pay for economic development project opportunities.
Options and Recommendation:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend
3. Deny
4. Move the item to a Study Session
5. Discuss / take no action / table

Council Meeting: January 11, 2022
Subject: Resolution Transferring Capital Improvement Projects (CIP)
“Sinking Fund” Funds to the Brookings Public Library’s
Capital Projects 2022 Budget
Presenter(s): Erick Rangel, Chief Financial Officer
Ashia Gustafson, Library Director
Summary:
This resolution would support Brookings Public Library in its efforts to provide effective
and efficient services to the community in a safe environment by adding security
cameras and carded key locks. To complete this effort, staff is requesting to use
$79,590.17 from the “Sinking Fund” account for investment in security cameras and
carded key locks systems.
Background:
The Brookings Police Department completed and presented a safety assessment on the
Library in 2021; adding security cameras and carded keylocks were flagged as the top
priority. The Library currently does not have a security camera system and relies on
physical keys for entry, both of which pose security challenges and potential safety
issues.
Item Details:
Staff recommends allocating 2022 Sinking Fund account dollars to the following budget
line item to allow for the purchase and installation of the security camera and card key
lock systems:
Library Department CIP funds - $79,590.17
In addition, City staff recommends authorizing the City Manager to sign the contract with
Safe-N-Secure as the vendor for this equipment and services.
Legal Consideration:
The City’s Comprehensive Financial Management Policy, under its Capital Improvement
Plan section, establishes the authority for the City to maintain an assigned Vehicle,
Equipment, Information Technology, and Building maintenance/replacement sinking
fund for unplanned capital projects such as which is presented in this Resolution.
City Attorney Steve Britzman has reviewed the purchase request and determined it
does not need to go through a competitive bidding process as the project is made up of
peripheral equipment which is exempt from competitive bidding. This determination
was made based on SDCL 5-18A-22 (5).
Strategic Plan Consideration:
This action supports safe, inclusive, and connected community by having a more secure
facility and adding peace of mind to Library staff and patrons.
Financial Consideration:
This transfer will not result in incremental 2022 budgeted expenses. It will transfer
appropriations from the CIP’s Sinking Fund account into the Library’s capital projects
account. After this transfer, the sinking fund account is estimated to remain with over
$500,000 available spending balance for 2022. This estimate includes the carryover
funds from 2021 once approved.
Options and Recommendation:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend
3. Deny
4. Move the item to a Study Session

scholarships from the Brookings Municipal Liquor Store reserves. If approved, staff
recommends annually $80,000 would be committed to the South Dakota State
University Foundation and $20,000 towards South Dakota Technological Colleges.
Details of the plan are attached and provided below.
Background:
An initial scholarship concept was presented to the City Council in October 2021. Staff
recommended a pilot program funded from the Brookings Municipal Liquor Store
reserves. Approximately $100,000 annually for five (5) years is available. There are no
municipalities within South Dakota which provide a scholarship program for youth to
pursue additional education. However, there are peer Midwest college towns with such
programs.
The program's focus assists Brookings area families’ attainment of additional education
for youth beyond high school. According to an economic impact study by the South
Dakota Board of Regents:
Additional education
o Increases annual median earnings 67.3% (Bachelor’s Degree $64,896 –
High School Diploma $38,792)
o Decreases crime and associated costs
o Increases longevity and quality of life
Economic impact of $936.3 million to the state & $561.8 million to Brookings
County
Employment of 4,848 in the state & 2,909 in Brookings County
Local & Tax Impact of $31.6 million to the state & $19 million in Brookings
County
According to the South Dakota State Foundation, on average 212 students graduated
from Brookings High School between 2019-2021.
65% of the students attended a four-year college
o South Dakota State University enrolled 30% of the graduating class
18% attended technical schools
17% Did not seek a two or four-year education (worked/joined the armed
forces/other)
Item Details:
Staff recommends the following for the proposed scholarship program :
Program available to Brookings area students
Increase educational attainment and income of Brookings area families
Scholarships target workforce needs of Brookings area businesses
Provide funding to those who may not select SDSU as their 4-year college of
choice or cannot attain additional education beyond high school due to financial
reasons
$100,000 annually for the next five (5) years committed from the Brookings
Municipal Liquor Store reserves
o $80,000 a year will be directed to the SDSU Foundation to Administer
o $20,000 a year will be directed to South Dakota Technical Schools
Annual Report provided to City Council from each entity.
City Council will approve funding for the subsequent year based on the report
The South Dakota State University Foundation proposal is included in the packet. If
approved, staff will work with a similar funding mechanism representing the South
Dakota Technical Colleges. A January decision is necessary if Council desires
scholarship awards for the 2022-2023 school year.
Legal Consideration:
There are no legal considerations at this time.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
The Brookings area scholarship program impacts many areas within the Council’s
strategic plan. The program is fiscally responsible as it utilizes reserves and does not
commit beyond existing resources. Scholarships are available to all Brookings area
students and therefore inclusive. The increase of education is an investment for
economic growth, income, and community.
Financial Consideration:
Approximately $100,000 will be directed annually from the Brookings Municipal Liquor
Store reserves for the next five years.
Options and Recommendation:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend
3. Deny
4. Move the item to a Study Session
5. Discuss / take no action / Table
Staff recommends approval of the resolution as presented.

Introduction
South Dakota’s six public universities each have a unique identity.
¹ Public universities in this study refer to those under the South Dakota Board of Regents: Black Hills State University, Dakota State University, Northern State University, South Dakota School of
Mines & Technology, South Dakota State University, and The University of South Dakota.
And under the strong leadership of the Board of
Regents, together they form a coordinated,
unified system in which each performs a vital
function in educating the sons and daughters
of South Dakota. From their beginnings as
typical schools before South Dakota was
admitted to the Union to the cutting-edge
research and first-class education they provide
today, the universities have been the backbone
of higher education in the Mount Rushmore
State. Every year more than 30,000 students
from small towns and big cities across the
state attend Black Hills State University, Dakota
State University, Northern State University,
South Dakota School of Mines & Technology,
South Dakota State University, and the Universi-
ty of South Dakota. The South Dakota Board of
Regents oversees these universities with
nimble precision that allows South Dakota to
stay at the forefront of a changing world.
The South Dakota
regental system plays a
powerful role in the state’s
economy. Taken together, they
supported a total of 12,354 jobs
across the six universities¹ and
administrative offices and
generated $2.1 billion in
annual economic impact
in the fiscal year 2019.

Reporting
About the Study
In July 2021, the South Dakota Board of Regents (SDBOR) engaged Parker Philips Inc. to measure the economic
contribution of public higher education overall and of each of South Dakota’s six universities, individually. This
analysis aims to tell the university system’s story from a numbers and narrative perspective. To develop this
report, Parker Philips gathered student, financial, and employment data about each university, visited and toured
each campus, conducted multiple interviews, and researched secondary data and information to inform the
writing and critical messages.

OVERVIEW
Financial
& Data
Gathering
In October 2021, the task force released a report that includes 35 separate recommendations across several
areas. Recommendations include a range of cost-saving measures, including combining some administrative
systems across universities and consolidating contracts, targeted consolidation of some academic
programs, and expanded use of data to address issues such as enrollment trends, class size, program size,
and central office staffing and functions. The Board of Regents is committed to full consideration of each
recommendation in the coming months.
As America’s economy continues to adjust to rapidly changing circumstances in this country and across
the world, South Dakota’s public universities have never been more important. By delivering efficient,
high-quality postsecondary education aligned to the current and emerging workforce and talent needs of
South Dakota, the state’s six universities are the foundation of South Dakota’s well-being — both now and
in the future. This report details the total economic impact of South Dakota’s public university system and
provides rich evidence of its total value for the people of South Dakota.

The primary tool used in the performance of this
study is the input-output model and data set
developed by IMPLAN Group LLC. Financial data
used in this study was obtained from SDBOR and
included the following data points: operational
expenditures, capital expenditures, and payroll
and benefits for employees for FY 19. Secondary
data was used to estimate spending by visitors
(day and overnight) and students (undergraduate
and graduate) exclusive of tuition and fees.
Additional information on the methodology and
assumptions used to complete this study can be
found in Appendix C.
The impact presented in this analysis is broken
down into three categories: direct impact,
indirect impact, and induced impact. The indirect
and induced impacts are commonly referred to
as the “multiplier effect.” The graphic below
provides an overview of the types of impact
detailed in this report.

State of Higher Educationin South Dakota
Senate Bill 55
Senate Bill 55 was enacted by the South Dakota Legislature in 2020 requiring the Board of Regents to form a task
force to review the operations of the six public universities and provide a set of recommendations to increase
efficiency and achieve cost savings. This request aligned well with the mission of the Board of Regents to ensure that
taxpayer and student dollars that flow to the six public universities are being used as effectively as possible. Task
force members met collectively six times and convened 20 subcommittee meetings as they conducted this work.
South Dakota’s public university system occupies a uniquely important place in state residents' economic and social
well-being. Enrolling more than 33,000 students across its six institutions and awarding over 6,600 undergraduate
and advanced degrees each year. South Dakota’s public universities are a primary economic engine of the state.
This is underscored by the fact that the state is home to only five private, nonprofit four-year colleges and
universities. South Dakota’s public university system is an integral part of the state’s future.
Like nearly every state in the country, South Dakota’s public universities face undeniable challenges – declining
population, decreased student enrollment, affordability of higher education, and decreased state appropriations.
As the numbers of high school graduates have dropped, total enrollment in the state’s
public universities has declined 8.1% over the past five years with enrollment shifts varying
substantially across the six institutions.
According to the State Higher Education Executive Officers (SHEEO), education appropriations
per FTE in South Dakota have decreased 29.1% since 1980, and in 2019 public institutions
received $5,817 per full-time equivalent student — about 71% of the U.S. average. The state has
increased financial aid during that time period; in two decades the amount of state aid has
increased 4,274% and has risen from .1% to 4.7% of all education appropriations.
Among six neighboring states (Iowa, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, and
Wyoming), the annual cost for undergraduate tuition and fees in South Dakota is second only to
Minnesota. Total costs for tuition, fees, and room and board were $16,251 in South Dakota’s
public universities in 2019.
South Dakota’s public universities are tackling these unprecedented challenges and will develop new strategies and
tactics to ensure that they serve the state’s economic and social well-being. The Board of Regents, individual universities,
and statewide leadership are working together to ensure an efficient and effective public higher education system that
serves the needs of South Dakota’s citizenry.

Fueling South Dakota’sEconomy
Universities contribute to the local and statewide economies through their
expenditures on operations, capital projects, wages, the spending of students
off campus, and the spending of visitors to campus. The direct, day-to-day
expenditures of the universities, combined with student and visitor spending,
cause a ripple effect throughout the statewide economy. The total economic
impact of the universities in FY 19 totaled $2.1 billion, which is 4% of the South
Dakota economy. This contribution to the local and statewide economies is a
point-in-time snapshot depicting how the expenditures of the university system
and its faculty, staff, students, and visitors make an impact.
Operations and Spending Contribution
The universities’ operations and capital spending in FY 19 contributed a total of
$1.8 billion. The universities’ operations generated $1.1 billion in direct
economic impact, $305.2 million in indirect economic impact, and $420.9
million in induced economic impact.
Student Spending Contribution
South Dakota’s public university students contributed a total of $273.5 million
to the state’s economy in FY 19 as a result of their spending. They generated
$180.1 million in direct economic impact, $47.5 million in indirect economic
impact, and $45.9 million in induced economic impact.
Visitor Spending Contribution
Visitor spending contributed a total of $55.0 million. Visitors to all universities
generated $33.3 million in direct economic impact, $11.6 million in indirect
economic impact, and $10.1 million in induced economic impact.

TO SOUTH DAKOTA’S
HEALTHCARE DESERTS
“Healthcare deserts” — areas that lack basic access to adequate medical care —
exist in most parts of South Dakota. According to the South Dakota Department
of Health, healthcare deserts exist in 52 of the state’s 66 counties in 2021. Lack
of access to mental healthcare is even more acute, existing in 60 counties.
Whether due to a shortage of primary care physicians or nurses, the absence of
hospitals and trauma centers within a reasonable driving distance, or a lack of
internet to access telemedicine, many South Dakotans struggle to address their
medical needs. As a result, the physical and economic well-being of rural
communities are at risk.
The University of South Dakota’s Sanford School of Medicine has been nationally
recognized for its sustained efforts to fill these gaps. In 2017, the school
received the highest honor conferred upon medical schools by the Association
of American Medical Colleges, the Spencer Foreman Award for Outstanding
Community Service. The award recognizes schools with a long-standing
commitment to partnering with communities to meet medical needs. USD’s
medical school stood out largely because of its reach statewide, with students
spreading out across the state to learn, work, and serve in both cities and rural
communities across South Dakota.
These students are supported by programs like Frontier and Rural Medicine, or
FARM, which pairs medical students with family physicians in rural communities
such as Milbank, Parkston, Winner, and Pierre. FARM helps students learn what
it’s like to work and thrive in small-town clinics and hospitals.
Dr. Matthew Owens, a 1993 graduate of USD Sanford School of Medicine who is board certified in family medicine
and operates a rural practice in Redfield, SD, is making an impact by serving a community of about 2,200 residents
in the northeast quadrant of the state. He joins four other USD Sanford School of Medicine MD graduates practicing
in a small 17-bed hospital attached to a rural health clinic. “I don’t think you’re going to recruit a lot of physicians
into rural South Dakota from outside the state. USD Sanford School of Medicine drives rural healthcare in South
Dakota and makes our small communities strong,” says Owens. This healthcare system is a major economic
engine of the area, employing 129 healthcare professionals ranging from speech therapists to nurses and hospital
administrators to cleaning crews.

South Dakota’s six public universities support a total of 12,354 full- and part-time jobs
throughout the state — 2.7% of South Dakota’s workforce. Indirect and induced jobs are also
generated via construction for campus projects, retail, restaurants, daycare, real estate, and
banking — to name a few.

A Degree Makes a Lifelong
Impact on South Dakota
A higher education credential changes outcomes not just for individuals but also for their families
and the entire South Dakota economy and quality of life. College degrees lead to opportunities for
a lifelong career, financial stability, and better overall health and well-being. In today’s world,
educational attainment plays an even more significant role in other aspects of people’s lives — it
increases opportunity and improves overall quality of life and longevity.
Increased Lifelong
Earnings
Pursuing a college degree is an investment in future earnings and a higher
quality of life. Education is the clearest personal pathway to increased
earnings and economic security. The relationship between higher education
and higher lifetime earnings is well-established. The median salary of an
individual increases by 67.3% from a high school degree to a bachelor’s
degree.² The earning power of a college degree is experienced over a career
and a lifetime. People with a bachelor’s degree earn an average of $1 million
more over the course of their 40-year career than those with a high school
diploma.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average salary earned by
a person with a bachelor’s degree in the United States (U.S.) is $64,896, which
is $33 per hour. This does not include the benefits packages and fringe
benefits offered as a part of a regular compensation package. Future earnings
will be higher or lower based on degree type.

Analysis by Parker Philips, Inc.
Decades of research has shown that educational attainment decreases a person’s likelihood of
engaging in criminal activity. A community’s education level correlates to how safe it is —
better-educated communities have lower levels of crime, and therefore need fewer public dollars
for incarceration and the criminal justice system. In 2015, South Dakota reported spending over
$73 million on its prison systems across the state — about $20,700 per inmate.³ South Dakota
benefits from a strong and well-supported public university system because more college
graduates mean less crime, more community engagement, and a larger share of tax dollars
available to invest in improving the lives of South Dakotans.

South Dakota's Talent Base Makes an Impact
The impact of South Dakota’s college graduates during the course of their careers is significant. In 2019, more than
6,665 students graduated from South Dakota’s public higher education institutions. Many graduates plant their roots
in the communities where they earned their degree, shoring up the strength of available human capital. Relationships
formed between the universities and private corporations such as Sanford Health, Nieman Enterprises, and Agtegra
Cooperative help grow and sustain the workforce and economic activity throughout South Dakota.
South Dakota public higher education’s alumni that stay in the state to live and work after graduation make an
outsized impact on the state’s economy. The earnings of the 104,937 alumni from South Dakota’s public institutions
living and working in South Dakota over the course of their 40-year careers will total $287.5 billion, support and
sustain a cumulative total of 1,913,003 jobs, and generate $12.9 billion in tax impacts at the local and state levels.
Increasing Longevity and
Quality of Life
Education level plays a major role in determining an individual’s quality of
life. In the past 20 years, the life expectancy gap between the most educated
and the least educated Americans has widened. Americans with less
education are more likely to have serious health conditions than those with
a higher level of education. Year after year, data from the Bureau of Labor
Statistics shows that people with a university credential are more likely to
have higher wages, employer-sponsored healthcare, paid vacation and
leave, retirement savings, and work in lower-risk occupations. Educational
attainment also usually leads to the ability to live in a safer neighborhood,
which is also a social determinant of health.4
Educational attainment is a contributing factor to being able to have a
better understanding of health issues, being able to self-advocate, and
choosing a healthier lifestyle. People with a higher education are less
likely to experience the stress created by social and economic troubles
associated with lower earnings and less education. Highly educated
adults are more likely to have stronger and broader social networks,5
which yields access to financial, emotional, and psychological resources,
thereby reducing stress and providing coping mechanisms to protect
them from adverse health effects. Higher education, among many other
social determinants of health, matters to health outcomes.

Over the past 10 years, the Aberdeen community has contributed about $150 million to Northern State University
(NSU). That’s a stunning amount of money from any city — particularly from one with a population of less than 30,000.
It is tangible evidence that Aberdeen connects its future with the success of NSU.
State Senator Casey Crabtree attended NSU in the early 2000s and has first-hand knowledge of NSU’s uniquely
important relationship with Aberdeen and the entire northern region of South Dakota. “Walking around the NSU
campus, you can really see what private investment has done for the university. It all came from people who really
cared enough to make a difference in their community,” said Senator Crabtree.
The $150 million NSU has received in local investments has gone a long way toward strengthening NSU’s educational
offerings and expanding opportunities for local residents to take advantage of the University’s rich array of extracurricular
offerings. From 2013 to 2021, local contributions have contributed to student scholarships, supported the construction of
the Jewett Science Education Center, and provided enhancements to the Regional Sports Complex and athletic fields and
facilities. Local dollars also contributed to the renovation of the Johnson Fine Arts Center — a facility that annually hosts
more than 65 concerts, theater performances, and community events and welcomes more than 7,600 guests per year.

CONFIDENCE IN NSU
“The university is incredibly important not only to the
Aberdeen community but to the whole region. It’s our No.
1 tool to not only attract new workforce from other states,
but to develop our own workforce right here in South
Dakota. That’s why folks in Aberdeen are investing in NSU.
When students have a great experience at NSU, they’ll stay
and continue to be part of the workforce and carry on the
legacy of Northern.”

OFFERING A DISTINCTIVE
COLLEGE EDUCATION TO
THOSE WHO SERVE OUR
COUNTRY WITH DISTINCTION
The U.S. military is one of the backbones
of South Dakota’s economy and culture.
It is the second-largest employer in
South Dakota, powered in large part by
historic Ellsworth Air Force Base (EAFB).
Established a few miles from Rapid City
in 1941, EAFB has served a role in several
wars and as home base to critically
important Air Force defense operations
and training. EAFB is home to about
8,000 people including military members,
their families, and civilian employees,
and is one of the largest employers in the
region. About 3,800 veterans also call
western South Dakota home.
“The Air Force is technically driven, and this partnership with Black Hills
State University will further develop these airmen’s knowledge. They’re
learning the critical thinking skills the Air Force needs in maintaining
airplanes and staffing hospitals.”
Roger Wilson
Chief, Education and Training
Ellsworth Air Force Base
Black Hills State University (BHSU) has a 60-year history of supporting western South Dakota’s military by offering
courses at Ellsworth Air Force Base. This fall, the partnership has been elevated to a new level. BHSU competed for
and won a contract to operate a local campus on base, delivering distinctive undergraduate and graduate programs
to those who serve our country with distinction.

Generating Local and
State Tax Revenues
The universities’ employees, suppliers, and related constituencies contribute to the local and statewide tax bases.
In FY 19, the universities contributed an estimated $74.1 million ($41.0 direct and $33.1 million indirect and
induced) through local spending (operational, capital, students, and visitors) as well as direct and indirect support
of jobs. At the state and local levels, South Dakota’s public universities contribute to the tax base through their
purchasing, student, and visitor spending. Specific taxes include employee and employer contributions to state and
local social-insurance funds, sales and use taxes, personal property taxes, taxes paid on motor-vehicle licenses,
and payments of fines and fees

DSU APPLIED RESEARCH
LAB CUTTING EDGE OF
CYBERSECURITY
“We can keep our very, very best and brightest students here after
graduation to work in South Dakota at MadLabs®. And they're doing
work of national security importance.”
Dr. Josh Pauli
Executive Director, DSU Applied Research Lab
Madison Cyber Labs — affectionately known as MadLabs® — is a perfect example of
how DSU’s cybersecurity expertise keeps our country safe while also contributing to the
economy of the Madison region and beyond. MadLabs® draws new talent to the state
and the region, attracting elite scholars, researchers, professionals, and partnerships
with government, businesses, nonprofits, and other higher education institutions. This
$18-million, 40,000-square-foot building is the first research facility of its kind in the
Great Plains.
The MadLabs® building and its associated programs are the result of a fruitful partnership
between the university, the state, the federal government, and private donors. This
includes $30 million from PREMIER Bankcard President and CEO Miles Beacom and his
wife Lisa, along with Denny Sanford, owner of the Sioux Falls-based First PREMIER Bank and PREMIER
Bankcard. Their gift is one of the largest single gifts to higher education in South Dakota history — and it’s generating
a ripple effect across the region. Additional support includes a $10 million pledge from Governor Daugaard's Future
Fund. The private and public funding sources are being leveraged to draw an additional $20 million in support from
federal sources and private donors. The synergy created by this coalition of advocates for higher education will
support South Dakotans for generations to come.
Dakota State University (DSU) is small but mighty. The 3,200-student university in
Madison is a national leader in cyber education and currently holds four Centers of
Academic Excellence designations from the NSA and Department of Homeland
Security: Cyber Defense Education, Cyber Defense Research, Cyber Operations, and
Cyber Defense Consultative Regional Resource Center. Graduates of DSU’s
cybersecurity majors are in demand: The Beacom College of Computer and Cyber
Sciences has a 96% placement rate for undergraduates and a 100% placement rate
for graduate students.

Sometimes it’s easy to forget that South Dakota’s college graduates are in many ways the
foundation of its small communities. Whether it’s the pharmacist who shows a senior how to
use a new medication, the teacher who educates a future governor, the accountant who
supports the local grocery store, the health professional who delivers babies, the undertaker
who helps families navigate the passing of a family member, or the lawyer who provides
advice to family farms and ranches — South Dakota’s college graduates provide the stability,
services, and talent that keep its communities thriving.
The town of Philip provides a case in point. With a little under 800 permanent residents, Philip
is located halfway between Pierre and Rapid City in the western part of South Dakota. This
small town is a powerhouse in its region, providing a local hospital, nursing home and
medical facilities; a public school district including a rural school; a locally owned pharmacy;
a newspaper; a bank, a funeral home, and several local businesses.
Philip’s residents don’t have to drive 90 to 100 miles to meet their necessities — the town
prides itself on having what they need. As a result, Philip is home to a growing number of
young families eager to provide their children with the benefits of a small-town life with the
advantages that Philip’s strong cadre of college-educated professionals provide.
Courtney Kjerstad, owner of Philip’s Dakota Country Pharmacy, is one of those professionals. Born
and raised in another South Dakota small town — Gettysburg — Kjerstad graduated from SDSU
and received her Doctor of Pharmacy degree in 2011. After spending two years in Arizona working
for a large pharmacy chain, Kjerstad and her husband decided to return to South Dakota to raise
their family.
“After having our first child, we decided it was time to move home and give our children the
same wonderful opportunities we had growing up in rural South Dakota,” said Dr. Courtney
Kjerstad, owner, Dakota Country. “We found opportunity in the wonderful community of Philip,
and we became owners of Dakota Country Pharmacy in 2014.”
“I can’t imagine doing anything else with my career because I love the satisfaction
of knowing each and every one of my customers.”
Dr. Courtney Kjerstad, owner, Dakota Country Pharmacy

South Dakota is a small-town state. Over 150 towns and municipalities house less than 1,000 residents, and another 60
have populations of 6,000 or less. Dotted across the landscape, these small towns and rural communities form the fiber
of South Dakota’s culture, providing a strong sense of community and a fierce loyalty to the South Dakota way of life.

A Neighborly Spirit
The spirit of South Dakota is neighbor helping neighbor, whether they are in Sioux Falls or Hill City. South Dakotans
share a common spirit and set of values that are rooted in a love of the land and giving back to community. There is
no shortage of ways that students, faculty, and staff give back to those in need with their time and their money. The
presence of these universities in a community gives residents access to arts and cultural events, sporting events,
and workout facilities that would otherwise not be available.
The USD music department staffs the National Music Museum in Vermillion, giving the community
access to historical and archival information or the opportunity to see a student performance in the
new Janet L. Wanzek Performance Hall.
NSU students support the South Dakota School for the Blind and Visually Impaired (SDSBVI) by
assisting as student teachers and by volunteering to help in classes. SDSBVI students also use the
NSU campus for mobility training.
Black Hills State University hosts the Madeline A. Young Distinguished Speaker Series. Community
members and students can attend the speaker series that brings in world-class speakers such as
novelist Michael Chabon, United Nations Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, actor Danny Glover, and
writer and Pulitzer Prize winner Doris Kearns Goodwin.

Giving Back to
South Dakota
All of South Dakota benefits from the volunteerism and charitable giving of faculty, staff, and
students. Based upon assumptions derived from the U.S. Census Bureau and the Points of
Light Foundation regarding donation amounts and volunteerism rates by age, income level,
and employment status, it is estimated that staff, faculty, and students give nearly $3.8
million annually in charitable donations and volunteer for almost 550,000 hours, valued at
almost $13.0 million. In FY 19, the combined impact of charitable giving and volunteerism
totaled nearly $16.8 million. These benefits were in addition to the $2.1 billion annual
economic impact.

NSU has led the NCAA Division II in both men’s and women’s basketball
game attendance for the last 13 years.
In the 2020 Olympics, Chris Nilsen, a 2020 graduate of USD, won the
silver medal in the men’s pole vault, clearing 19-7 — the highest an
American has jumped in Olympic history.
At SDSU in 2019, a total of 87,764 people attended Jackrabbits’ football
games and listened as the marching band — “The Pride of the Dakotas” —
performed at halftime shows.
Dakota State set an NAIA record for scholar-athletes — who must have
a 3.5 GPA or higher to qualify — in 2020–2021.
BHSU and South Dakota Mines meet in the Black Hills Brawl every year,
making this the longest-running rivalry in Division II football. BHSU won
the first game in this rivalry in 1895, setting the tone of the future
meetings between the two. The winner takes the Homestake Trophy,
based on a prospector’s pan.

The value of a university cannot be fully captured in dollars and cents. A university is an integral part of the fabric of
its host community. It can serve as a hub for social gatherings, recreation, sporting events, and the arts — creating
a sense of community that is vital to the well-being of its residents and acting as a magnet that local businesses use
to attract new talent to the area. Universities can also partner with businesses in the region to ensure their
graduates have the skills and experience needed to hit the ground running and join the local economy. In turn, a
university benefits from the engagement and talents of its hometown residents as they come to campus to cheer
on sports teams, participate in charity events, and host student interns in local businesses. In university towns, both
the community and the campus reap benefits too rich to capture in numbers alone.
Northern State University (NSU) is an integral part of the Aberdeen community — and locals don’t take it for granted.
Matt Campbell is CEO of MyPlace Hotels, an Aberdeen-based hospitality company with annual revenues of nearly
$90 million and over 50 hotels in 27 states. Campbell has particular insight into NSU’s impact on the city of
Aberdeen. For example, the university’s athletic teams and alumni events draw visitors near and far to hotels in his
network and others, as well as to local restaurants and shopping venues.
But even more important are the strong partnerships between Northern and local businesses that create a pipeline
for placing talented interns and graduates into careers that will keep them in Aberdeen for years to come. Campbell
points to long-standing relationships with academic department heads and deans that funnel Northern’s best and
brightest into the city’s growing economy.

“When you look at the value of Northern, and why it’s important
to Aberdeen, it goes beyond economic impact. We don’t have a
town or an economy at all without Northern grads coming to work
for us — whether that’s at a local restaurant in town or owning
and managing a business. Thirty-four percent of my company’s
employees have a degree from Northern. That’s pretty impressive.”

Transformative Research
in South Dakota
South Dakota relies upon higher education to provide training and skills for the next wave of discovery in the state.
Through cutting-edge healthcare, cybersecurity, and environmental research, as well as driving innovation fueled by
the demands of South Dakota’s agricultural industry, the public higher education sector is reimagining the state’s
future while enriching its traditional industries.
In FY 19, the universities expended $106 million on research-related activities, with $95.4 million being expended in
the state. The impact of research totaled $168.5 million, supported 974 jobs, and generated $3.6 million in state and
local taxes. With over $86 million brought into South Dakota from outside of the state, research represents a net new
influx of dollars to the economy.

A case in point is the South Dakota Mines’ Entrepreneur-in-Residence (EIR) program, which provides
experienced mentors to coach university business start-ups. EIR’s proven track record of success is
well-known. As evidence of the success of the program, South Dakota Mines’ start-ups have won the
South Dakota Governor’s Giant Vision Competition in three out of the past four years. In 2021, EIR lists
nearly 30 local business leaders serving as mentors with expertise ranging from building and growing
start-ups to healthcare management, digital strategy development, marketing, supply chains, and
software and product development.
Craig Arnold is one of those EIR mentors. Arnold’s leadership experience spans more than 30 years,
including technology start-ups, biotechnology, and biofuels, as well as leadership positions in philanthropy,
computer technology, and the aerospace industry.
Case Study:
PREPARING SOUTH
DAKOTA FOR A FUTURE

According to Arnold, EIR gives future entrepreneurs “the opportunity
to sit with a bunch of us old-timers and tell us a story about their great
idea. And we can help them figure out how to launch — how to turn
that idea into a new venture. Students need to know what they are
paying all this money for and how to get their return on investment.
The EIR program helps make sure they get that return.”
Craig Arnold, South Dakota Entrepreneur
South Dakota’s future is bright. With a wealth of talent and a bedrock foundation
of agriculture, the state is strengthening those economic sectors and fueling the
growth of emerging economic drivers with the new discoveries, innovation,
abundant talent, and entrepreneurial excellence that South Dakota’s state
university system provides. South Dakota university faculty and researchers
have received more than $17 million in federal NSF and NIH grants in 2019 and
been granted 17 patents for their cutting-edge ideas and inventions.

Conclusion
South Dakota’s public higher education institutions are essential to the state’s success from a workforce perspective.
With the South Dakota Board of Regents at the helm, the system is adapting to the changing demographic, financial,
and workforce needs of the state. Each university is an integral part of the higher education delivery system in South
Dakota – they are vital to their individual communities and to the students they serve. There is little doubt that these
universities understand how to best serve the needs of their students and the people of South Dakota. The impact
of these institutions goes beyond economics – they are a part of the social fabric of the state.

Includes organizational spending on operations, capital expenditures, labor income expenditures,
and value added to the economy as a result of expenditures made by an organization. It is the
combined impact of direct, indirect, and induced impacts.
All direct expenditures made by an organization due to its operating expenditures. These include
operating expenditures, capital expenditures, and pay and benefits expenditures.
The indirect impact includes the impact of local industries buying goods and services from other
local industries. The cycle of spending works its way backward through the supply chain until all
money is spent outside of the local economy, either through imports or by payments to value
added (multiplier effect).
The response by an economy to an initial change (direct effect) that occurs through re-spending
of income received by a component of value added. IMPLAN’s default multiplier recognizes that
labor income (employee compensation and proprietor income components of value added) is not
lost to the regional economy. This money is recirculated through household spending patterns
causing further local economic activity (multiplier effect).
The multiplier effect is the additional economic impact created as a result of the organization’s
direct economic impact. Local companies that provide goods and services to an organization
increase their purchasing by creating a multiplier (indirect/supply-chain impacts). Household
spending generated by employees of the organization and the organization’s suppliers create a
third wave of multiplier impact (induced/household-spending impacts).
Government revenue or tax revenue that is collected by governmental units at the state and local
levels in addition to those paid directly by an organization. This impact includes taxes paid directly
by the organization itself, employees of the organization, and vendors who sell products to the
organization and at the household level.
Total number of employees, both full-time and part-time, at the organization based on total jobs,
not FTEs.
Additional jobs created as a result of an organization’s economic impact. Local companies or
vendors that provide goods and services to an organization increase their number of employees
as purchasing increases, thus creating an employment multiplier.
Additional jobs created as a result of household spending by employees of an organization and
the employees of vendors. This is another wave of the employment multiplier.

Appendix C: Data & Methods
Data used to complete the contribution analysis was provided by the South Dakota Board of Regents and the university.
Data supplied included operating expenditures, capital spending, pay and benefits, and total employees. Primary and secondary
data was used to complete the input-output models in IMPLAN. The study approach and economic-impact findings are a
conservative estimate of impact and are based on actual financial information. The study is a snapshot of the economic impact
of the university.
OVERVIEW AND THE IMPLAN MODEL
The most common and widely accepted methodology for measuring the economic impacts of economic sectors is input-output
(I-O) analysis. At its core, an I-O analysis is a table that records the flow of resources to and from companies/organizations and
individuals within a region at a given time. For a specified region such as a state of the nation, the input-output table accounts
for all dollar flows among different sectors of the economy in a given period. With this information, a model can then follow how
a dollar added into one sector is spent and re-spent in other sectors of the economy, generating outgoing ripples of subsequent
economic activity. This chain of economic activity generated by one event is called the “economic multiplier” effect.
The primary tool used in the performance of this study is the I-O model and dataset developed and maintained by IMPLAN
Group LLC (formerly Minnesota IMPLAN Group Inc.). IMPLAN is a widely accepted and used software model first developed by
the U.S. Forest Service in 1972. Data used in the baseline IMPLAN model and data set come largely from federal-government
databases. The input-output tables themselves come from the Bureau of Economic Analysis. Much of the annual data on labor,
wages, final demand, and other market data comes from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. Census Bureau, and other
government sources.
Government agencies, companies, and researchers use IMPLAN to estimate the economic activities associated with spending
in a particular industry or on a particular project. The IMPLAN model extends conventional I-O modeling to include the economic
relationships among government, industry, and household sectors, allowing IMPLAN to model transfer payments such as
taxes. Producers of goods and services must secure labor, raw materials, and other services to produce their product.
The resources transferred to the owners of that labor or those raw materials and services are then spent to secure additional
goods and services or inputs to the products they sell. For example, an organization in a region may develop a company that
produces tractors with a value of $1 million. However, to produce that product, they may be required to spend $500,000 in
wages and benefits, $200,000 to suppliers of tractor parts, $100,000 for electricity, $50,000 for transportation of goods and raw
materials to and from the plant, and $50,000 in various professional services associated with operating a business (e.g.,
attorneys and accountants). The suppliers will, in turn, spend those resources on labor and raw materials necessary to produce
tractors. Workers and the owners of the company will buy goods and services from other firms in the area (e.g., restaurants and
gas stations) and pay taxes. The suppliers, employees, and owners of this second tier will, in turn, spend those resources on
other goods and services whether within the study region or elsewhere. The cycle continues until all of the money leaves the
region.
37
IMPLAN METHODOLOGY
The model uses national production functions for over 536 industries to determine how an industry spends its operating
receipts to produce its commodities. These production functions are derived from U.S. Census Bureau data. IMPLAN couples
the national production functions with a variety of county-level economic data to determine the impacts at a state and
congressional-district level. IMPLAN collects data from a variety of economic data sources to generate average output,
employment, and productivity for each industry in a given county. IMPLAN combines this data to generate a series of economic
multipliers for the study area. The multiplier measures the amount of total economic activity generated by a specific industry’s
spending an additional dollar in the study area. Based on these multipliers, IMPLAN generates a series of tables to show the
economic event’s direct, indirect, and induced impacts to gross receipts, or output, within each of the model’s more than 536
industries.
The model calculates three types of effects: direct, indirect, and induced. The economic impact is the sum of these three
effects.
CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING IMPLAN
There are three important points about the use of IMPLAN (or any other input-output model):
It is a fixed-price model. The model assumes that changes in consumption are not limited by capacity and do not affect prices.
This assumption does not cause a problem for the analysis presented here because we are taking a snapshot of South Dakota
in a specific year.
As in many studies using this type of model, the direct impacts are not calculated by the model; they are a reflection of actual
spending levels and patterns created by South Dakota. Changing the level of direct spending allows us to calculate the
magnitude of the indirect and induced effects associated with the initial level of spending.
Because the model continues to calculate additional spending until all of the money leaves the region (i.e., “leakage”), the larger
and more economically diverse the region, the longer it will take for spending to leave the region and the larger the impact is
likely to be. For example, employees of South Dakota may spend some amount of their income on buying a car. If there are no
car manufacturers in their state or county, this spending will leave the region and the multiplier effect will stop. At the national
level, some portion of that same spending by that same individual may go to a national auto producer. That spending would lead
to more spending at the national level than would be captured by a more regional model. The national impact will be larger than
the sum in the individual states, and the individual state impact will be larger than the sum of the impacts in its congressional
districts.

Appendix D: FAQ’s
WHAT IS AN ECONOMIC-CONTRIBUTION ANALYSIS?
Technically, this study is a contribution analysis. The study quantifies the economic contribution of the university in terms of
economic impact, jobs, and local and state tax revenue. The study calculates how spending by employees, visitors, and students
contributes to the economy of South Dakota and beyond. It examines how expenditures create additional impact in the economy
directly and through the multiplier.
For the purposes of this study, an economic contribution is defined as the gross changes in South Dakota’s existing economy
that can be attributed to the universities. Contribution analysis is a descriptive analysis that tracks gross economic activity: how
spending by the university and its constituencies cycles dollars through the economy. The university’s economic-contribution
analysis does not consider how spending at this university may crowd out spending at another college or university within the
state. This type of analysis is one of the most common that is performed and is often mislabeled as an economic-impact study.
Please note that while the terms used to express the contribution of South Dakota to the statewide economy are referred to as
economic impact, this is a contribution analysis.
Spending by students, staff, and faculty who are explicitly participating in activities associated with South Dakota’s output
represents a “stemming-from effect” and could also be considered a direct effect of the higher-education industry. For example,
a student who attends classes and spends $10 on lunch at a local restaurant is a stemming-from effect of the university. This
contribution analysis then follows the direct economic activity and associated stemming-from effects through the economy,
with the output of each sector broken down and attributed to expenditures on intermediate inputs or to value-added
components such as labor, taxes, and returns to capital. Output multipliers, which are sector- and region-specific, are derived
from the appropriate model and relate an industry’s economic activity (or changes in the industry’s economic activity) to gross
sales in the other sectors of the regional economy.
The contribution analysis does not account for the fact that if a student attending class were a local resident, then the $10 they
spent on lunch potentially represents $10 they are not spending at another restaurant elsewhere in town. The direct effect in a
contribution analysis includes purchases by students from in and out of state and is neither a measure of changes to the state’s
economic base nor a measure of the value added to the region above what was paid to input suppliers.
WHAT SHOULD YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE STUDY WHEN YOU READ IT?
• It is a point-in-time calculation of impact for FY 19.
• It quantifies the amount of impact that the universities produce each year.
• The economic numbers can fluctuate from year to year based on operational spending, capital spending, pay and
benefits, number of employees, number of students, and state appropriation.
• This is an economic-contribution analysis that casts a broader net to calculate impact than an economic-impact
study.
• These are conservative numbers and adhere to industry-respected protocols.

WHAT METHODOLOGY WAS USED TO COMPLETE THIS STUDY?
IMPLAN data and software were used to conduct this economic-contribution analysis. The IMPLAN database is built using
county, state, ZIP code, and federal economic statistics that are specialized by region, not estimated from national averages,
to measure the contribution or impact of an organization’s economic activity.
WHAT WERE THE MULTIPLIERS FOR THIS STUDY?
The multipliers used in this study range from 1.8 to 2.1. The multipliers are derived through the input-output models created
using the IMPLAN software based upon industries selected during the modeling process.
WHAT DATA DOES THIS STUDY USE TO CALCULTE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT?
Primary data used in this analysis is for FY 19 and was obtained from the South Dakota Board of Regents and the university.
Data addresses the following subjects:
• Operating expenditures.
• Capital expenditures.
• Pay and benefits by employee type.
• Number and types of students (all in-state and out-of-state students included).
• Athletics.
• Volunteerism.
• Charitable giving.
• Alumni data.
Secondary data was used to estimate the following:
• Student spending habits based on the universities’ budgets for spending (full- and part-time undergraduate and
graduate students, excluding tuition and fees).
• Visitor numbers and visitor spending habits (day and overnight visitors).
WHAT ARE THE COMMUNITY-BENEFIT IMPACTS BASED UPON?
Charitable-giving impacts are based upon assumptions found in the U.S. Census donor data. These models do not assume
a 100% participation rate for staff, faculty, and students and are not based on averages. Some colleges and universities had
primary data available on volunteerism, and in those cases actual hours were used in the calculation. For the purposes of this
study, it is assumed that 24.9% of staff and faculty donate an average of $2,064 annually and 14.9% of students donate an
average of $250 each year.
Volunteer impacts are based upon assumptions found in the U.S. Census, and the value of a volunteer hour was obtained
from the Points of Light Foundation and is estimated at $23.56 per hour.
WHY DID THE SDBOR COMMISSION A STUDY?
The SDBOR commissioned the analysis to quantify the impact of all six public higher education institutions in its system.
SDBOR and the university have a number of helpful tools to explain the value proposition for supporting higher education;
this independent study is one way to help explain its worth. In trying to explain the value of South Dakota public higher
education to internal and external constituents, it is important to quantify the workforce and economic gains realized
throughout the state. There are many ways to view the impact and value of a university and university system — economic
impact is one.
WHY DOES THIS STUDY LOOK DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS WE HAVE SEEN PUBLISHED?
The veracity of the data and methodology are consistent with industry-standard protocols for conducting an effective
economic-impact study that is conservative. The data is an independent assessment of the university’s contribution to the
overall economy — the numbers drive the message, not the other way around. The report is designed to make the data
analysis accessible to all readers.
