Presentation: Special Achievement in Geographical Information System (GIS) Award
Summary:
In 2020, the City of Brookings implemented a Geographical Information System (GIS) and partnered
with Brookings Municipal Utilities and Brookings County on a small governmental agency agreement
with ESRI for the geospatial software. The City’s goal was to give internal and external users a better
and more complete experience with geospatial data. By fully utilizing the ArcGIS Hub and Web App
Builder, a more user friendly geospatial product is available to the public via the City of Brookings
GIS Portal webpage.
Internally, communication across departments and sharing of geospatial data has increased
efficiencies, led to more detailed analysis and better decisions based upon the data. The City of
Brookings and Brookings Municipal Utilities has migrated data from CAD to GIS as well as
incorporated data from water, sanitary sewer, streets, rental properties, zoning, recreation, storm
sewer and much more. In particular, the use of GIS for density analysis and site suitability studies
have helped create a more sustainable and resilient community.
At the ESRI Conference in July, Aaron Karl accepted the Special Achievement in GIS award on
behalf of the City of Brookings and Brookings Municipal Utilities. Evan Henningsen and Marshall
Beynon from Brookings Municipal Utilities and Aaron Karl with the City of Brookings are the primary
GIS staff working behind the scenes to help staff and members of the community gain a better
geospatial understanding.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Erick Rangel, Chief Financial Officer
Council Meeting: August 9, 2022
Subject: Ordinance 22-029: Budget Amendment No. 7
Presenter: Ashley Rentsch, Senior Finance Manager
Summary:
City of Brookings Staff continually monitors departmental budgets and brings
amendments to the City Council as necessary to account for circumstances not
anticipated in the originally adopted appropriation ordinance. This ensures compliance
with state and local laws and maintains transparency regarding the City’s operational
needs. This five-part budget amendment includes a transfer from the City Manager’s
Contingency Fund and increases revenue and expenditure authority for priority items
that have been identified since the previous amendment.
Background:
Necessary changes to the 2022 budget have been identified recently, to include
accounting for insurance reimbursements and expenditures related to the M ay 12 storm
event, authorizing funds for a salary survey and cyber insurance, increases related to
personnel changes, and cleaning up our Economic Development, Special Assessment,
TIF, and Capital Project budgets.
Item Details:
Part 1
The City wanted to show appreciation for staff who responded to the May 12
storm event by providing a luncheon.
The City’s salary survey consultant is booking projects 6-8 months out. As the
City desires to have an updated salary survey completed around the end of Q1
2023 for the 2024 budget process, it is pertinent to move forward and get on the
salary survey consultant’s schedule.
Dept./Fund Increase/(Decrease) Amount Description
Human Resources 3,000 Employee Appreciation Lunch - May 12 Storm
Recovery
Human Resources 12,000 Salary Survey
Community Development 2,300 Community Development Office Manager
City Clerk 7,300 Deputy City Clerk
Non-Departmental Expenditure (24,600) Contingency Transfer for salary survey, employee
appreciation lunch, and personnel changes
Personnel changes in the Community Development Office Manager and Deputy
City Clerk positions require adjustments to the 2022 budget, which will be
covered by a transfer of City Manager’s Contingency Funds.
Part 2
Per Ordinance 22-001, the City Council authorized $100,000 of economic
development reserves for the Economic Development Master Plan. This
Ordinance transfers the budget authority for the reserves to be taken from the
CIP Fund’s economic development reserves rather than the General Fund.
Per Ordinance 22-008, the City Council authorized $20,000 of economic
development reserves for exploration of opportunities to develop the Marketplace
property. This ordinance increases the transfer budget in the CIP Fund to utilize
these reserves.
Part 3
The City is underinsured with its current cyber insurance coverage level limit of
$500,000 coverage. The City received a quote from Coalition for cyber insurance
for one year with a $2,000,000 coverage limit.
The requested funds will be used to pay for the cyber insurance coverage with
Coalition. The City can use the savings from the worker’s compensation audit
premium refund to offset the cost of this additional cyber insurance coverage.
Part 4
The City has received insurance reimbursements less the deductible for
structural damage caused by the May 12 storm event.
Uninsured costs include contracted tree removal and hauling, as well as other
miscellaneous expenditures related to the storm. FEMA funding is anticipated to
cover a portion of this, however an estimate is not available at this time.

Part 5
Part A: In 2021, the annual street and sidewalk special assessment project bids
were rejected, as they came in higher than expected. This amendment
authorizes an additional $121,000 to the street and sidewalk improvements
budget to account for the additional improvements planned for this year . A
resolution will be presented at the next Council meeting for an interfund advance
from the CIP fund, which will cover the up-front costs of these additional
improvements. This will be paid back as special assessment revenue is received.
Part B: This amendment adds TIF1 revenues and the State Revolving Fund loan
payment amounts to the budget that were not included in the original 2022
appropriation ordinance.

Capital Project Fund. This amendment simply adds those totals to the budget for

received at the beginning of this year. The transfer of $7,500 to this fund will
close the project.

the original 2022 appropriation ordinance. This amendment adds the expected
contributions from Brookings County and a private donor, as well as expected
reimbursements from the South Dakota Department of Transportation.
Part F: This amendment recognizes the Community Development Block Grant
funds and related construction expenditures for the Brookings Food Pantry
project.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
This action supports fiscal responsibility by increasing budget authority for anticipated
expenditures and increasing transparency regarding City operational needs.

Financial Consideration:
Part 1 transfers budget authority from the City Manager’s Contingency account to
accounts in the Human Resources, Community Development, and City Clerk
departments, resulting in zero impact to the overall budget.
Part 2 balances the fund transfer budgets for economic development reserves.
The related expenditures were budgeted in previous ordinances, meaning these
transactions have zero impact to the overall budget.
Part 3 increases expenditure budget authority in the Information Technology
Department, which is offset by the Worker’s Compensation Audit Premium
Refund. This impacts the budget favorably by $8,474.
Part 4 increases the expenditure budget in the Emergency Event Expenditure
account, which is partially offset by insurance reimbursements, resulting in a net
increase to the expenditure budget of $317,568. The majority of these additional
expenditures are expected to be recovered with FEMA funding, as an emergency
declaration was signed on June 29, 2022.
Part 5A: $121,000 additional budget authority to be funded by an interfund
advance from the CIP Fund and paid back as special assessment revenue is
received.
Part 5B: Expected 2022 TIF 1 Revenues exceed State Revolving Fund loan
payment by $500,215.
Part 5C: TIF1 Capital Project expenditures of $1,752,140 are being covered by a
loan from the General Fund per Resolution 22-034.
Part 5D: The Final Pay Request for the S. Main & 34th Avenue Project is being
covered by a transfer from the CIP Fund of $7,500.
Part 5E: Accounts for expected revenues from the Brookings County and private
donor portions of the 20th Street Interchange project, which are expected to be
$2,498,280, and will offset expenditures initially paid by the City.
Part 5F: Accounts for the grant revenues of $1,613,500 and construction
expenditures in the same amount, resulting in no budget impact.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Meeting: July 26, 2022
Subject: Residence R-3 Apartment District Amendments
Person(s) Responsible: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary:
Proposed amendments to the Residence R-3 Apartment District to eliminate the per
unity density requirement, increase the maximum height allowed, and clarify additional
setbacks.
Background:
The Residence R-3 Apartment District is a high density zoning district offering a variety
of residential uses, including single-family, two-family, apartments, condominiums,
townhouses, fraternities and sororities and community facilities such as schools, parks,
churches, and community and public buildings. The R-3 District regulations includes
per unit density square foot requirements; minimum lot area; minimum lot width;
minimum front yard, side yard and rear yard requirements; and a maximum height
allowance.
The housing market has changed over time with the market adjusting towards smaller
dwelling units in apartment projects as well as incorporating underground parking into
projects where feasible. In addition, the Comprehensive Plan promotes contiguous and
compact development along with the creation of diverse housing options. The City
encourages efficient utilization of available land and resources to build housing capacity
for additional housing units and options. One of the areas to assist in achieving
capacity is reviewing existing codes to ensure they are still relevant and necessary.
Item Details:
The proposed ordinance amendments modify the intent of the Residence R-3
Apartment District by acknowledging the zoning district a s one for the highest density of
multi-family residences. Additional amendments are proposed to remove the per unit
density requirement and increase the maximum height allowance.
The per unit density square foot requirement is only applicable to apartment s,
condominiums, and townhouses of three or more units in the R -3 District. The per unit
density is not applicable to any other uses allowed in the R -3 District. Trends in the
multi-family residential construction has been moving towards smaller units, f ocusing
more on efficiency and one bedroom apartments. The smaller square foot dwelling
units allow for more units within a building footprint; however, the current per unit
density regulations can unduly restrict the number of units even though all other
regulations are met (i.e. setbacks, landscaping, parking, bufferyards, etc.).
The second part of the amendment is increasing the maximum height allowance from
forty-five (45) feet to sixty (60) feet. The forty-five (45) foot height allowance was
acceptable for a four-story apartment if the apartment contained eight-foot finished
interior ceiling heights. Market conditions have trended towards interior ceiling heights
of nine- feet with two- foot floor trusses to accommodate HVAC systems causing
developments to seek variance requests to the height allowance.
The third part of the amendment is clarifying conditional requirements by making
reference to the Bufferyard standards when an R-3 zoned property is adjacent to any
residential zoned property. In particular, the Bufferyards require an increased
separation distance when a structure exceeds 30-feet in height, where the current
language would require the side yard setback to increase from seven -feet to 10-feet if
the proposed structure was three or more stories in height.
Legal Consideration:
None
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Sustainability – Review and analysis of the Zoning Regulations is part of the
Comprehensive Plan Implementation strategies and the proposed amendments are
consistent with recommendations of Comprehensive Plan to eliminate and/or reduce
barriers for housing development.
Economic Growth – The proposed amendments will help the economic growth of the
community by providing the ability to create more capacity for housing units within the
community through the elimination of per unit density requirements and increasing the
maximum height requirements.
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
The Development Review Team and Staff recommend approval of the proposed R-3
District amendments. The Planning Commission voted 7 – 0 recommending approval.

OFFICIAL MINUTES
Item #11- The City of Brookings submitted amendments to Chapter 94, Zoning, pertaining to Section
94-127(a) and Section 94-127(f) related to standards for density and height in the Residence R-3
apartment district.
(Aiken/Mills) Motion to approve the amendments. All present voted aye. MOTION CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #11 – Struck explained that staff has reviewed some of the ordinances that appear to be “road
blocks” for some of the developers. Staff would like to eliminate the per unity density requirement due
to developers moving towards smaller units and focusing more on efficiency and one bedroo m
apartments, allowing for more units within a building footprint. Increasing the maximum height
allowed for 9 foot ceilings heights would increase the height of a 4-story building from 45 feet to 60
feet. This also would allow for 2-foot trusses to accommodate HVAC systems. And the third part of
the amendment is to clarify conditional requirements regarding bufferyards when buildings of more
than 30 feet in height when adjacent to any residential zoned property.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Meeting: July 26, 2022 / August 9, 2022
Subject: Residence R-3A Apartment / Mobile Homes / Manufactured
Housing District Amendments
Person(s) Responsible: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary:
Proposed amendments to the Residence R-3A Apartment / Mobile Homes /
Manufactured Housing District to eliminate the per unity density requirement, increase
the maximum height allowed, and clarify additional setbacks.
Background:
The Residence R-3A Apartment / Mobile Homes / Manufactured Housing District is a
High Density Zoning District offering a variety of residential uses, including single-family,
two-family, apartments, condominiums, townhouses, fraternities, sororities, mobile
homes, manufactured homes, mobile home parks, and support facilities such as
schools, parks, churches, and community and public buildings. The R-3A District
regulations includes per unit density square foot requirements; minimum lot area;
minimum lot width; minimum front yard, side yard and rear yard requirements; and a
maximum height allowance.
The housing market has changed over time with the market adjusting towards smaller
dwelling units in apartment projects as well as incorporating underground parking into
projects where feasible. In addition, the Comprehensive Plan promotes contiguous and
compact development along with the creation of diverse housing options. The City
encourages efficient utilization of available land and resources to build housing capacity
for additional housing units and options. One of the areas to assist in achieving
capacity is reviewing existing codes to ensure they are still relevant and necessary.
Item Details:
The proposed ordinance amendments modify the intent of the Residence R-3A
Apartment / Mobile Homes / Manufactured Housing District by acknowledging the
zoning district as one for the highest density of multi-family residences. Additional
amendments are proposed to remove the per unit density requirement and increase the
maximum height allowance.
The per unit density square foot requirement is only applicable to apartmen ts,
condominiums, and townhouses of three or more units in the R -3A District. The per unit
density is not applicable to any other uses allowed in the R -3A District. Trends in the
multi-family residential construction has been moving towards smaller units, focusing
more on efficiency and one bedroom apartments. The smaller square foot dwelling
units allow for more units within a building footprint, however, the current per unit
density regulations can unduly restrict the number of units even though all ot her
regulations are met (i.e. setbacks, landscaping, parking, bufferyards, etc.).
The second part of the amendment is increasing the maximum he ight allowance from
45-feet to 60-feet. The 45-foot height allowance was acceptable for a four story
apartment if the apartment contained eight-foot finished interior ceiling heights. Market
conditions have trended towards interior ceiling heights of nine-feet with two-foot floor
trusses to accommodate HVAC systems causing developments to seek variance
requests to the height allowance.
The third part of the amendment is clarifying conditional requirements by making
reference to the Bufferyard standards when an R-3A zoned property is adjacent to any
residential zoned property. In particular, the Bufferyards require an increased
separation distance when a structure exceeds 30-feet in height, where the current
language would require the side yard setback to increase from seven-feet to 10-feet if
the proposed structure was three or more stories in height.
Legal Consideration:
None
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Sustainability – Review and analysis of the Zoning Regulations is part of the
Comprehensive Plan Implementation strategies and the proposed amendments are
consistent with recommendations of Comprehensive P lan to eliminate and/or reduce
barriers for housing development.
Economic Growth – The proposed amendments will help the economic growth of the
community by providing the ability to create more capacity for housing units within the
community through the elimination of per unit density requirements and increasing the
maximum height requirements.
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
The Development Review Team and Staff recommend approval of the proposed R-3
District amendments. The Planning Commission voted 7 – 0 recommending approval.

Item #12- The City of Brookings submitted amendments to Chapter 94, Zoning, pertaining to Section
94-128(a) and Section 94-128(f) related to standards for density and height in the Residence R-3A
apartments/mobile homes/manufactured housing district.
(Schmeichel/M ills) Motion to approve the amendments. All present voted aye. MOTION
CARRIED.
Item #12 – Struck explained that staff has reviewed some of the ordinances that appear to be “road
blocks” for some of the developers. Staff would like to eliminate the per unity density requirement due
to developers moving towards smaller units and focusing more on efficiency and one bedroom
apartments, allowing for more units within a building footprint. Increasing the maximum height
allowed for 9 foot ceilings heights would increase the height of a 4-story building from 45 feet to 60
feet. This also would allow for 2-foot trusses to accommodate HVAC systems. And the third part of
the amendment is to clarify conditional requirements regarding bufferyards when buildings of more
than 30 feet in height when adjacent to any residential zoned property.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Charlie Richter, City Engineer
Council Meeting: August 9, 2022
Subject: Special Assessment Policy
Person(s) Responsible: Charlie Richter, City Engineer
Summary:
The special assessment policy will address financial terms for all special assessments
not addressed by state statute.
Background:
South Dakota state statute details the procedure on how to establish a special
assessment but leaves cities to determine the financia l terms for those assessments.
Historically, the City charged 10% for utilizing the municipal financing of assessed
projects. This policy would define those terms for projects moving forward in a more
equitable fashion.
This item was brought to City Council for discussion at a study session in May 2022.
Item Details:
The Special Assessment Policy shall be applied to all special assessments. The State
of South Dakota clearly defines the procedure on how to establish a special
assessment, but leaves cities to determine the financial terms for those assessments.
This policy will define the financial terms of the assessment, including the number of
years an assessment can be paid over, interest rate, and the minimum assessment
which can be paid in installments.
The financial terms for assessments defined in the policy are:
Term of financing shall depend on the type of project being assessed
i. Sidewalks and Alleys: 5 Years
ii. Roadways and Utility Work: 10 years
Annual interest rate charged shall be calculated by the following formula
= FHLBank Chicago 10-year Fixed Rate (%) + 3.5%
Any assessment under $300 would be assessed in one payment.
The term of financing is consistent with what has been used for similar projects in the
past.
The typical interest rate used in the past has been 10%, but it was never linked to a
standard. Linking the interest rate to a well-known standard promotes consistency and
equity while considering market conditions. This rate was discussed at a previous study
session and has been revised based on those comments.
The minimum dollar threshold for financing over multiple yearly installments will be
$300. A higher threshold was proposed at a previous study session, but it was felt that
the threshold proposed in this policy was more equitable. $300 has been the threshold
used for sidewalk assessments for many years and is consistent with past
assessments.
These terms will be included in the Resolution of Necessity to inform residents of what
is being proposed.
Legal Consideration:
State statute allows cities to set the financial terms for special assessments on a case
by case scenario or by policy.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Fiscal Responsibility – This policy will provide financial transparency to residents being
assessed for Special Assessment projects.
Financial Consideration:
The City will finance these projects consistent with terms that have been used for past
Resolution of Necessities with a revised interest rate that is linked to a well-known
interest rate standard.
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.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Paul M. Briseno, City Manager
Council Meeting: August 9, 2022
Subject: ARPA Distribution of Funds
Presenter: Paul M. Briseno, City Manager
Summary:
The distribution of the City’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds was discussed at
the July 19th City Council Study Session. Based on City Council’s discussion, staff
recommends approval of a resolution that assists multiple partner agencies to address
issues identified from surveys. If approved, approximately $2.2 million will be
distributed for the Ivy Center expansion ($1.2 million), Childcare facility and
administration ($580,000), Habitat for Humanity ($110,000), ICAP ($110,000) and City
Workforce Housing Project ($200,000).
Background:
The City of Brookings’ allocation from ARPA is $4.4 million. The City’s first deposit of
$2.2 million was received in September 2021, and the second deposit will be received in
September 2022. To better understand the community’s needs, the City engaged
Baker Tilly and Polco to conduct surveys of targeted community stakeholders, business
owners, and residents.
Polco administered two (2) surveys on behalf of the City. The top funding priorities for
residents were: behavioral healthcare, housing, and healthy childhood environments.
The top funding priorities for businesses were: behavioral healthcare, healthy childhood
environments, and economic aid to households for housing, food, or other financial
hardships.
The Baker Tilly survey targeted key community stakeholders, including non-profits,
economic development, and City partners. The stakeholders responded and indicated
funding priorities of child care, stormwater, affordable housing, mental health,
cybersecurity, and broadband.
At the July 19th Study Session, Council discussed the distribution of $2.2 million to
partner agencies to address needs identified within the surveys. Agencies were given
the opportunity to provide insight into specific projects. Staff requested each agency
provide an outline of their projects, requests, and outcomes.
Item Details:
Based on the July 19th Study Session, staff recommends the passage of a resolution
that distributes ARPA funds based on the following:
Brookings Community
$1,200,000 Behavioral Health (Ivy Center)
$ 500,000 Childcare (BEDC)
$ 80,000 Childcare Coordinator (BEDC)
$ 110,000 Housing (Habitat)
$ 110,000 Housing (ICAP)
$ 200,000 Workforce Housing (City Project)
$2,200,000 Brookings Community
The ARPA funds can assist partner agencies that serve the community. The survey
identified behavioral health, childcare, housing, and infrastructure as the top need within
the community. Agencies should adhere to the following:
Funds should be used for capital or one-time purchases
o Should not create an ongoing unfunded obligation/liability
Organization/program must be financially sustainable after city funds expire
Partner agencies will provide an annual report identifying the impact of stated
outcomes to the Council for the next two years beginning August 2023
All funded projects must adhere to the City’s vision and policies
Based on the July 19th Study Session, entities provided a brief outline of each project,
request, and outcome. If approved staff will construct agreements for funding
distribution based on each project outline.
Legal Consideration:
Funds will be utilized by legislative requirements and guidance.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Fiscal Responsibility – ARPA funds will be utilized in a manner determined to best
benefit and meet the community’s needs.

Request for Support
Overview
Let’s build impact together.
The need for affordable housing never has been more urgent. The COVID -19 pandemic has lain bare what we have
known for many years: decent housing is essential for all families.
One in 11 of South Dakota’s families are paying more than half their income for housing; in Brookings, that means
800 of our neighbors. Additionally, over 2,500 families are paying in excess of 30% of their gross monthly income
for housing. That should be socially, politically and morally unacceptable.
We must do more. We must do it faster. We must do it with more impact, and we must work with others to expand
our reach and depth. Our methods will vary, but all of effort must drive us closer to the day when everyone has a
decent place to live.
Our Mission
Vision

Our Vision
A world where everyone has a decent place to live.
Our Principles
1. Demonstrate the love of Jesus Christ
2. Focus on shelter
3. Advocate for affordable housing
4. Promote dignity and hope
5. Support sustainable and transformational development
Motivated by the belief that each of us is called to act justly, love mercifully and walk humbly with our God, we
seek to be a partner and catalyst in building communities where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
We believe that no one lives in dignity until everyone lives in dignity. When the broad community is engaged in
addressing the urgent need for adequate, affordable shelter, we all become less vulnerable and more resilient. In
bringing people together, we practice a philosophy of “a hand up, not a hand out,” and build on existing community
assets: financial, physical, natural, human, social, and spiritual.
In seeking truly transformed communities, we view bringing people together not only as a way to deliver a product –
improved housing – but as an essential process for building hope and the belief that healthier communi ties are
achievable and beneficial for all. When we work together, statistics become faces with names, stereotypes are
broken, and everyone has the opportunity both to give and receive.
Seeking to put
God’s love into
action
Habitat for
Humanity brings

+ = to build homes,
communities, and
hope.
OUR MOTIVATION OUR METHOD OUR IMPACT
Our mission, vision and principles are central to our theory of personal and community change. We view our work
as successful when lives are transformed and when positive and lasting social, economic and spiritual change is
promoted within a community. Authentic transformation changes the lives of all who participate: tho se who need
housing, volunteers, advocates, donors and, development practitioners.
Housing as both a process and a product is necessary to create lasting family and community impact. Housing as a
product improves household health and well-being, leading to increased time on the job and in school, and thus
contributing to family income and education, both essential to breaking the cycle of poverty. Housing as a process
focuses on building community cohesion that in turn can lead to systemic change, more br oadly reducing
vulnerability to the cycle of poverty.
Opportunities for Support
We are humbling asking for the City of Brookings to allocate $110,000 to support our work.
This investment will return dividends in perpetuity and have immediate effect on one family who will move into
their home before 8/1/2024.
Since our founding we have partnered with families over 80 families in Brookings, Brookings County, Madison and
Lake County. Our work in Brookings includes the removal of four blighted properties, 924 3rd Avenue, 723 3rd
Street, 311 8th Avenue, and a twin home on what use to be 919 6th Avenue. Three families are now living where
blight existed before, and two more families will soon be moving into their very own homes.
Our work involves the creation of Pactola Cove where 15 families live within walking distance of the Camelot
school and we have just begun on our largest project, River Run.
This investment will be turned into mortgages that families will repay. Those mortgage payments will be turned
into new mortgages that will be invested into even more families who will, in turn repay their mortgages making it
possible for even for families to live in safe and durable shelter.

RE: Brookings Behavioral Health & Wellness Funding Request – One Time ARPA Funds
This letter is submitted to your attention to request that the City Council of Brookings approve an
allocation of $1.2 million for one-time capital needs to Brookings Behavioral Health & Wellness from the
available ARPA funds.
BBHW is a private, not-for-profit corporation registered in the State of South Dakota and founded in
1971. BBHW is recognized as a 501(c)(3) organization by the Internal Revenue Service and is accredited
as both a community mental health center and community substance abuse treatment center. BBHW is
one of eleven community mental health centers in the State and is the designated center for Brookings
County. BBHW contracts with the State of South Dakota (on a “fee-for-service” based) to serve the
special needs of the State’s most critically, behaviorally, challenged individuals; including adults
diagnosed as “Severely Mentally Ill” (SMI) and children/adolescents diagnosed as “Severely Emotionally
Disturbed” (SED). BBHW also provides a full range of community-based individual, couple and family
therapy, mental health and substance use disorder services to Brookings County residents. In addition
to state contracts, BBHW receives revenue from Medicare, Medicaid, Private Insurance, and Private Pay
billing. These additional funding sources have continued to increase over the last several years as our
agency profile has risen and the reputation of our clinicians and services have improved. This has
allowed us to serve a broader base of Brookings County residents.
Proposed project
Brookings Behavioral Health & Wellness (BBHW) is planning a building renovation and expansion to
support the growth of the organization. The current building housing BBHW was built in 1976 and is
roughly 6000 square feet. At an estimated 400 sq ft per clinical staff member, this was an appropriate
size for the organization at 15 staff members. We currently have 20 clinical staff and 5 administrative
staff. We are proposing to add 14,000 sq ft with new construction and renovation of our existing
structure. This would get us to 20,000 sq ft which would accommodate continued growth of clinical staff
as well as provide appropriate space for groups, community education events, staff training, etc.
This project will take place in two phases. Phase I will include the building of a new structure to the
north and west and include a main floor and basement. Phase II will include renovation of the existing
structure and expansion to the west. Completing the work in the proposed two phases will allow for
operations to continue on-site with minimal disruption to staff and clients of BBHW. The goal is to
initiate construction in Q2 of 2023 with project completion by Q2 of 2024. The estimated project cost is
$3.6 million which is consistent with current construction costs of $180 - $200/sq ft.
Funding request
Given a total project cost of $3.6 million, BBHW is asking the City of Brookings to contribute $1.2 million
toward this project in the form of a one-time allocation from available ARPA funds. BBHW has also
requested $1.2 million from Brookings County as well as initiated a private capital campaign for the
remaining $1.2 million.
Outcomes as it relates to the priority areas
As the designated Community Behavioral Health Center for all of Brookings County, we have a direct
impact on the identified priority area of mental health care. BBHW is distinguished from private mental
health providers and other organizations by the public assistance and support role it fulfills. Professional
behavioral health services are provided to everyone regardless of ability to pay for those services. This
means that the comprehensive array of services offered by BBHW are available to the residents of
Brookings County who would not otherwise have the financial means to access necessary behavioral
health services. The BBHW professional multi-disciplinary staff offer a broad array of services to meet
the special needs of individuals, families, the Brookings County schools, the county, circuit and state
correctional systems, courts, and other community agencies.
Metrics that can be measured over the next two years
BBHW is accredited by the State of South Dakota Division of Behavioral Health to provide both mental
health and substance use services. Because of this, we have strict clinical and administrative outcomes
that are measured on a monthly, quarterly, and annual basis. Additionally, we undergo an accreditation
site visit every two years. Examples of these outcomes includes a review of access to services, clinical
documentation, quality of service provision, client recidivism, and client reported improvement in
symptoms or functioning.
Assurance guidelines can be met or reasons why they cannot
The members of the BBHW leadership team have combined experience of more than 75 years in
behavioral health service provision, program development and management, and non-profit
management. Additionally, the teams Associate Director and Clinical Director have 23 years and 11
years respectively, of tenure with the organization. Under the leadership of this team over the last 4
years alone, BBHW has more than doubled its annual budget, improved partnerships within the
community, expanded programs, and served more individuals in Brookings. BBHW continues to assess
our efforts in the community and make changes accordingly to improve the quality and quantity of
services provided. This project directly supports that effort in allowing us the space to meet the service
needs of this community.
Any additional information
In addition to the comprehensive behavioral health services offered by our clinicians, BBHW also
provides 24/7/365 emergency services to Brookings County. At all times, there is a behavioral health
professional available to provide emergency services. These professionals all work as full-time clinicians
at BBHW, then rotate in providing evening, weekend, and holiday emergency coverage. Emergency
services are provided anywhere needed at any time of day or night and regardless of whether the
emergency involves mental health, drug, alcohol, or any other problem identified by the caller as an
emergency. To address challenges encountered during crisis intervention in our community, BBHW has
led a quarterly stakeholder meeting to ensure open communication, partnership, and problem solving
when it comes to managing mental health or substance abuse crisis in the community. BBHW clinical
and administrative leadership is actively involved with community initiatives to support the
improvement of crisis care. These include assisting in the planning, implementation, and execution of
Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training for law enforcement and first responders, participation in the
pilot eCare program in Brookings County, and having trained individuals participate on the CISM (Critical
Incident Stress Management) team to support law enforcement and first responders following a
traumatic event. As described in previous presentations, the number of referrals for service and calls for
crisis service have gone up exponentially over the last year.
Below is a summary of data of emergency calls from January 1 – December 31, 2021.
Total # of Calls # of Individuals Served Contact Hours

Below is a summary of data of emergency calls from January 1 – June 30, 2022
Total # of Calls # of Individuals Served Contact Hours

This project will have a direct and significant impact on our ability to provide the quantity and quality of
services to Brookings residents who need it and allow us to continue meeting our mission: to provide
comprehensive, integrated behavioral health services that promote personal well-being and quality of
life for all. The vision of BBHW is to inspire confidence and respect as a leader and partner in the
delivery of comprehensive behavioral health services and to collaborate with community partners to
actively fulfill the mission.
We greatly appreciate the support and partnership the City of Brookings has provided, and we look
forward to continuing this partnership as we strive to provide Brookings residents with access to quality
behavioral health care.

Child Care Coordinator Grant Request
The BEDC is requesting $80,000 grant from the City of Brookings American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
allocation to fund a 3 year program to increase the number of available licensed, child care slots in Brookings
County. The Child Care Coordinator will be collaborating with the Department of Social Services, the Child
and Family Resource Network, Brookings Area United Way, and other stakeholders to create and execute
capacity building strategies. Engaging with the Brookings Early Care and Education Collaborative, the
Coordinator will be working towards the goal of addressing child care accessibility issues within the community
by researching and strategizing ways to support Brookings’ child care supply.
Fulfilling A Community Need
The Brookings Early Care and Education (BECEC), and the BEDC in coordination with First Children’s
Finance completed a Brookings County Child Care Supply Plan. The plan’s need analysis shows a shortage of
915 slots for children under the age of five with all parents in the workforce. There are 628 registered and
licensed child care slots with an estimated need of 1,544. The report states that a portion of the need is currently
supported through unregistered care, work force under-employment, and parents working different shifts. In the
2020 Brookings County Child Care Survey, respondents shared that many families would prefer licensed child
care. In that same survey, respondents stated the concern of not having enough child care options and available
slots. The City of Brookings surveyed organizations and citizens on the use of the ARPA funds provided to the
City. Child care was on one of the top three priorities.
The Program will:
• Engage with Brookings business leaders to address the challenges of child care, such as Early
Childhood Education workforce issues and family friendly work practices
• Partner with the BECEC to promote licensed care and to address barriers for child care providers within
the registration process as well as assisting licensed child care programs expanded or starting new
programs.
• Conduct recruitment and marketing strategies to identify new possible licensed and registered child care
opportunities, including connecting with South Dakota State University’s Early Childhood Education
and Human Development programs.
• Develop partnerships with current registered and licensed child care programs to support the challenges
they face and look to developing programs to assist with situations, such as workforce issues.
• Research at a localized level to gather the needs and challenges the Brookings area is facing. This
research will include specifics of what employers consider a priority with the issue of low child care,
the challenges facing child care programs and their staff, and the needs of families. This program will
be assisting families in making informed decisions on child care needs.
Partnerships
The BEDC will work with community organizations to match the funds. Before the funds from the City are
released commitments of matching funds at the level of 2:1 will be secured. The program will be delivered by
an partner organization with the capability and talents required for success.
Outcome and Metrics of Success
The goal of the program is to add registered and licensed child care slots by 40. Licensed slots can be
subsidized by the State based on an income sliding scale. Data is not available on the need for subsidized slots
but the number of subsidized slots will be measured and reported.
Child Care Facility Grant Request
The BEDC is requesting $500,000 grant from the City of Brookings American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
allocation to complete a $1.5M Child Care Facility. The facility will be constructed in the City of Brookings to
increase the number of available licensed, birth to 5-year-old child care slots. This facility would be leased to
an organization or individual at a discounted rate to operate a child care center.
Fulfilling A Community Need
The Brookings Early Care and Education (BECEC), and the BEDC in coordination with First Children’s
Finance completed a Brookings County Child Care Supply Plan. The plan’s need analysis shows a shortage of
915 slots for children under the age of five with all parents in the workforce. There are 628 registered and
licensed child care slots with an estimated need of 1,544. The report states that a portion of the need is currently

care. In that same survey, respondents stated the concern of not having enough child care options and available
slots. The City of Brookings surveyed organizations and citizens on the use of the ARPA funds provided to the
City. Child care was on one of the top three priorities.
Partnerships
The BEDC will work with community organizations to build and operate the center. Before the funds from the
City are released commitments of matching funds at the level of 2:1 will be secured. Also, an organization to
build and own the building will be identified and presented to the City for approval.
The building organization will follow the City of Brookings, Green Building Practices per Resolution 22-010
and American Disability Act Policies. Detailed plans for the facility will be shared with the City for review.
Outcome and Metrics of Success
The goal of the facility is to add licensed child care slots for birth to 5-years-old by 80. Licensed slots can be
subsidized by the State based on an income sliding scale. Data is not available on the need for subsidized slots
but the number of subsidized slots will be measured and reported.

RE: Workforce Housing 15th Street Brookings
Workforce housing was identified as a need in the 2022 City of Brookings Housing Study.
Thank you for your consideration of ARPA funds for this project.
The project consists of 7 buildings with 20 living units total. They will be a mix of du-plex, tri-
plex, and quad designs ranging from 1,146 to 1,516 SF per living unit.
Each home will be marketed for sale with the assistance of SDHDA and the city of Brookings
from $189,700 to $224,800
Each building will have a mix of the following living unit options:
2-bed - 1-story design 1,146 SF $189,700
3-bed - 1-story design 1,336 SF $224,800
2-bed – 2-story design 1,269 SF $194,700
3-bed – 2-story design 1,516 SF $221,700
These homes are marketed to families that are gainfully employed, making less than 115% of
area median income for Brookings County. The living unit must be the homeowner’s principal
residence. The assistance from SDHDA and the City of Brookings will help homebuyers who
have a steady income make monthly payments, but don’t have the means for the upfront costs of
purchasing a home, or homebuyers that have a steady income that is insufficient to cover the
total monthly payments in the competitive open market.
The sale prices of each living unit meet the SDHDA definition of Affordable Housing. Meaning,
the total housing cost, which includes rent, utilities, mortgage, and related expenses, represents
no more than 30% of gross household income of 115% AMI.
The homeowners will be qualified through income verification using the most recent tax returns
adjusted gross income. The realtors and lending agents will be made aware of the income and
deed restrictions for the properties.

Each living unit will be deed restricted to be affordable for a period of 10 years. This deed
restriction will be filed with the register of deeds office and this deed restriction will come up
during a title search of the property.
If the property is sold during the deed restricted affordability period, the initial and subsequent
owner of the property is entitled to receive a fair return on investment. Fair return on investment
shall be defined as a sale price no greater than the increase or decrease in the value of the
property bases on Federal Housing Finance Agency’s House Price Index and any capital
improvements made to the property.
SDHDA has committed $20,000 per living unit as a forgivable loan after 10 years.
City of Brookings funding of $200,000 will fund $10,000 per unit and will be forgivable after 10
years.
The land value of $360,000 will be deeded over from the City of Brookings to the developer and
will equate to $20,000 per unit reduction in each living unit price.
Market value of each living unit would be a total of $48,000 more if not for the assistance of
SDHDA and the City of Brookings.
This type of home development needs funds to reduce the entry level price for workforce
housing considering escalating construction costs. Workforce housing needs can not be met
without some government assistance to partner with developers.
This project maximizes the land and infrastructure to reduce each living unit cost.
Respectfully,
James Drew
Inter-Lakes Community Action Partnership (ICAP) is a community action agency serving 14 counties in
East-Central South Dakota providing services to low-income and older participants since its inception in
1966. Using federal, state, local and private funds, the agency assists the residents of the service area to
achieve and maintain their optimal level of economic and social self-sufficiency. The thrust of the
Economic Opportunity Act of 1965, which established community action agencies, was that residents
should have the ability to be involved in the design, implementation and delivery of programs and
services aimed at helping them to move toward self-sufficiency.
Proposed project
ICAP conducted an in-depth COVID impact community needs assessment in the Spring of 2021.
The need for affordable housing, rental assistance, utility assistance and other basic needs were
increasing. Further justifying the need exacerbated by COVID-19, and in coordination with South
Dakota Housing Development Authority, ICAP assists with the SD CARES funding and has
processed over 2,100 applications for rent, mortgage, and utility assistance in our service area
alone.
Homeowners in the City of Brookings are experiencing financial hardships due to the COVID-19
pandemic ravaging our entire nation. Many individuals and families have lost employment due
to layoffs or massive reductions in the workforce or may have gotten ill themselves missing
significant time away from work. While there are programs supporting rent and utility
assistance, there are few offering temporary relief assisting with mortgage payments.
Inflation caused by COVID-19 and other events affects ICAP’s clients, as it does everyone. Food
prices continue to climb but the SNAP benefit formula for assistance has not changed. Price
hikes at the gas pumps make it more difficult to fill up tanks to get to work and school.
Landlords are also increasing their monthly rent which is increasing the likelihood that low-
income clients will not be able to afford a good quality home or apartment, even for those
clients that are on programs because of the FMR’s. Our programs cannot exceed FMR which
makes it more difficult to house our clients. ICAP has experienced labor shortages as well.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, ICAP is experiencing an increase in the volume of low-
income families who need assistance with essential services such as emergency rent, mortgage,
and utility payment assistance. Many of the low-income families we assist are employed in
service-oriented trades such as restaurants, bars, hotels, etc. who have been hit especially hard
by this outbreak. Many have been forced to close their business, resulting in workforce layoffs.
Other business sectors have or will be impacted by this unprecedented event as well. ICAP aims
to maintain stability of these families by assisting with housing stabilization and on-going
education/referrals to other mainstream resources provided by our community partners.
ICAP has identified a significant increase in financial needs for our clients since the COVID-
19 pandemic began. To address these needs, ICAP received COVID-19 emergency funding to
help offset the cost of basic living. Those resources have since been depleted. Our funding
amount has returned to pre-pandemic levels although the community need remains high. This
additional funding from the city of Brookings would help meet the need for Rental Assistance,
Security Deposits, Housing, and Weatherization Projects in the city of Brookings for our clients
that don’t qualify for CSBG or Emergency Rental Assistance (ERA) support through South Dakota
Housing Development Authority.
ICAP is looking to enhance its Weatherization Assistance Program in Brookings to serve more
low-income clients. COVID-19 has played a heavy hand in many areas including the costs of
properly maintaining a home. Energy efficient improvements have come to the forefront in
order to reduce the costs of operating and maintaining a home. Our Weatherization staff have
seen an influx in clientele since the pandemic started. With the money received, ICAP would
expand its services within the City of Brookings in order to reach more people who are in need
of our services.
Funding request
With the increased costs to administer our programs, ICAP continues to seek opportunities to
maintain adequate funding to serve our low-income clientele. Any additional funding ICAP has
received is directed towards client services instead of agency capacity building. The requested
$110,000 ARPA funds from the City of Brookings would go towards our Rental Assistance,
Housing, and Weatherization Programs to help ensure that ICAP remains in place so that the
low-income residents in Brookings have the opportunity to continue their pursuit of self-
sufficiency through our programs. Traditionally ICAP will weatherize approximately 7 homes and
provide rental assistance to more than 34 families in the city of Brookings. The additional ARPA
funds requested, could help provide weatherization for approximately 8 additional homes and
50 additional rental assistant services.
Outcomes as it relates to the priority areas
ICAP is the administrative entity for all these programs. As such, the agency verifies eligibility,
tracks data, collects fees as appropriate, and if necessary, removes participants from the
programs. Thus, ICAP has the experienced management capacity and experience within
affordable housing programs, along with new construction or purchase/rehab, in all locations
within the service area.
Metrics that can be measured over the next two years
ICAP uses a web-based client tracking program, CAP60, to maintain clientele data. Within this
software program there are several reports that help ICAP measure our successful program
outcomes depending on the services each individual family receives.
Assurance guidelines can be met or reasons why they cannot
The members of ICAP’s management team have nearly 40 years of collective experience in the
planning, development and operation of programs and services dealing with the diverse needs
of low-income persons in eastern South Dakota. Under their guidance, ICAP has assisted several
hundred homeless families in their movement toward economic and social self-sufficiency
through the various programs offered at ICAP. The HOME Rehab and USDA Self-Help Rehab
programs has assisted over 350 homeowners to provide needed repairs to their homes, thus
preserving their property value and allowing the owners to continue to reside in their home
communities. The Self-Help Housing program has allowed over 170 families in Aurora,
Brookings, Flandreau, Valley Springs, Volga, and Watertown to construct their new homes, with
a very conservative estimated value of over $30,000,000.
Any additional information
As part of our most recent Needs Assessment that was completed in March 2022, we included
data from the most recent US Census. According to the census, Brookings County has a
population of 31,112 people. Of that population, 9,271 people or 29.80% of the population is at
or below the 200% poverty level. This indicator is relevant because poverty creates barriers to
access including health services, healthy food, and other necessities that contribute to poor
health status. 3,985 of the total population is 65 and older and 4.3% of the elderly population is
at or below the poverty level as well. ICAP’s service area has a population of 357,725 with
25.49% or 91,196 people below 200% poverty level. Brookings County has a higher poverty
percentage than our agency average and that low-income population makes up 10.16% of the
low-income population in our service area.
