Presentation: Special Achievement in Geographical Information System (GIS) Award.
Special Achievement in Geographical Information System (GIS) Award was presented
at the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Conference in July to Aaron
Karl, City of Brookings, and Evan Henningsen and Marshall Beynon, Brookings
Municipal Utilities.
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.

I. POST OPERATIONS PROCEDURES
A. INTRODUCTION:
1. The purpose of the Snow and Ice Removal Operation Plan is to provide
all personnel who are involved in snow and ice removal, and the public a
single source of information which clearly defines the City of Brookings’s
policies and procedures in all snow and ice operations.
2. Snow and Ice operations will be accomplished as expeditiously as
possible in conjunction with the priorities outlined in this plan due to
public safety and economic impact
3. The Snow and Ice season in Eastern South Dakota can begin as early
as October and terminate as late as late-April. The rate of
accumulation of snowfall or icing is affected by atmosphere
temperature, pavement temperature, moisture content, wind direction
and velocity, and intervals between storms. Each storm is unique, and
conditions may vary across the city. Therefore, while this plan tries to
cover the major operations during a Snow and Ice storm, it must be
recognized that there must be sufficient flexibility within the plan to
provide differences and or contingencies in order to respond
effectively to actual conditions.
B. GENERAL POLICY STATEMENTS:
1. The policy of the City of Brookings is to clear Emergency Snow Routes
and Public Safety Facilities of snow and ice as expeditiously as
practicable within the City’s area of responsibility during and following
every storm through the use of equipment and applicable materials
2. Snow and Ice control operations on all roads will be prioritized based on
immediate need for the public safety. Emergency snow routes will be
given the first priority for plowing and de-icing during and after a storm.
The intent is for all Emergency Snow Routes to be kept open when
possible. Emergency routes are shown in RED on the Snow Removal
Map.
a. No parking shall be permitted upon any portion of an Emergency
Snow Route where two (2) or more inches of snow have fallen in
any 24-hour period until such Emergency Snow Route has been
cleaned of snow from curb to curb. Any vehicles parked upon an
Emergency Snow Route shall be subject to ticketing and towing.
3. Snow removal and de-icing operations at the end of the storm, or
during times deemed necessary will be shifted to non-emergency
main artilleries and collector roads within city limits. These are
shown in GREEN and BLUE on the Snow Removal Map
4. At the end of the precipitation event, snow removal and de-icing
operations will be shifted to all remaining residential streets, cul-de-
sacs and alley ways within city limits.
5. The downtown core area will be cleared during or after emergency route
removal operations are complete or as manpower and equipment
resources become available. This is typically done between the early
morning hours of 1:00am – 7:00am. It is important for sidewalk snow
and ice removal operations be completed prior to street snow and ice
removal operations. (see Sec. 74-2) This ensures that the work has to
be done only one time per storm.
6. All other sidewalks are to be maintained by the adjacent property owners
per City Code.
a. Sec. 74-211. Duty of owner or occupant. It shall be the duty of
the owner or occupant or person in possession or in charge of
any lot, parcel or plat of ground fronting or abutting any sidewalk,
to keep such sidewalk free and clear from snow and ice at all
times. When it is impossible to clear snow and ice from a
sidewalk because it is frozen to the sidewalk, the owner,
occupant, or person in possession or in charge of such lot shall
sprinkle or spread some suitable material upon the same to
prevent the walk from becoming slippery and dangerous to travel
upon.
b. Sec. 74-2 Deposits in rights-of-way; exception for sidewalk snow
removal in central business district. It is unlawful for any person
to shovel or deposit snow, leaves, material or other substances of
any king and description from private property onto any public
street, alley or public right of way. Such conduct or action is
declared to be a nuisance. This section however, does not
prohibit the placement of snow from a sidewalk in the central
business district in the curb area of the street where no boulevard
or other property exists to place snow from the sidewalk.
7. Snow removal and de-icing operations will not be undertaken in alleys
unless there are snow accumulations in excess of 4” or ice
accumulations in excess of ½” as verified by Street Department staff.
8. A Winter Storm Alert can only be declared by the Street Superintendent,
Acting Street Superintendent, or in their absence, the Chief of Police or
the City Manager. Notice of a Winter Storm Alert will be given by posting
on the City Cable Television Channel, and by issuance of a notification
to the public via print, website, social media and other digital materials.
In the event of a declaration of a Storm Alert, the Police will ticket or tow
vehicles located on all Emergency Snow Routes as necessary to
expedite the Snow and Ice removal operations.
9. City personnel will not clear plowed-in driveways. Clearing driveways is
the citizens’ responsibility. The plowing operation produces a
continuous windrow of snow, and by its nature is expected to block
some citizens’ cleared driveways when there is significant snow
accumulated in the street.
10. The Street Superintendent may provide the media with Snow/Ice
removal updates during and after storm operations to keep the public
informed of the conditions of the roads. The City Snow Hotline,
telephone number 696-7669, and may be called for updates on City
Snow removal operations.
C. STORM CLASSIFICATIONS:
1. Each Snow or Ice storm will be unique and vary in intensity, duration
and total precipitation. This section will apply a basic classification
system to assist in establishment of priorities of equipment, material
manpower, and a management system for implementation in all Snow
and Ice removal operations. The storm classification system will utilize
an estimated total expected snowfall for snow and total ice glazing for
ice storms. This information will come from multiple weather sources
including; NOAA, Keloland and the National Weather Service.
2. Classes of Storms:
Class 1: 0” – 2”
a. Class 1 storm is defined as a storm with accumulations of two
inches or less, which in most cases will only require light plowing
and treating of pavement with applicable materials. All controls
and reporting of when the decision is made to proceed with snow
and ice removal operations will be managed by the Street
Superintendent. During a Class 1 storm City crews will handle
snow removal or deicing operations. Contractors will not be
activated.
Class 2 Storm: 2”- 6” Emergency Route Snow Advisory
b. Class 2 is defined as a storm of moderate to heavy snowfall with
estimated range of two - six inches. A Class 2 storm will cause an
issuance of an emergency route snow advisory. During a Class 2
storm event there is no parking on Emergency snow routes.
Those routes will be given the first priority for plowing and de-
icing. The intent is for all Emergency Snow Routes to be kept
open when possible. A Snow Alert is possible if the actual
conditions warrant. All controls and reporting of when and what
equipment will be implemented for snow and ice removal
operations will be managed by the Street Superintendent. During
a Class 2 Storm, the Street Superintendent may use City crews
within all departments or decide to activate contractors to plow
their designated areas.
Class 3 Storm: 6”+ , Snow Alert
c. Class 3 storm is defined as a storm of extremely heavy snow of
six inches or more occurring in a period of 24 hours or less. This
type of storm will cause life threatening conditions to occur. When
weather forecasts indicate that a Class 3 storm is imminent all
appropriate city equipment will be mobilized immediately. The
Street Superintendent, Acting Street Superintendent, or in their
absence, the Chief of Police or the City Manager, will declare a
Snow Alert. At that time a Parking ban on all City streets will be
implemented and enforced. The declaring official shall make the
appropriate media notifications of the Snow Alert. Parking ban on
all City streets will be enforced. A class 3 storm will activate all
contactors to plow their designated areas.
d. Ice Storms. All Ice Storms will be rated as a Class 1 type storm.
Ice Storms will cause an immediate threat to the public safety. If
an Ice Storm is forecast as imminent or otherwise develops, the
City will follow Class 1 procedures.
D. IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES:
1. Weather/Storm Decisions:
a. During normal duty and non-duty hours the key personnel (Street
Superintendent or their designees) involved in Snow and Ice
control will monitor forecast storms utilizing the National Weather
Service, and local news outlets for updated weather information. If
a Class 1 storm is predicted, the Street Superintendent will
monitor conditions to verify equipment needs. During a Class 2
storm event, an Emergency Route Snow Advisory will be issued,
but a Snow Alert may or may not be activated. City crews will
monitor conditions to determine the need for a Snow Alert. For
Class 3 storms a Snow Alert will be issued by the Street
Superintendent.
b. In the event of a surprise storm outside normal work hours, the
police dispatcher will, based on police observations, call the
Street Superintendent, alerting them of the storm conditions. The
Street Superintendent will make the decision to dispatch the
appropriate personnel and equipment for the conditions.
2. Personnel Notification/Recall:
a. It is imperative that the Street Department and other city
departments maintain a current and validated recall roster during
the snow and ice season. Quick response is the key to successful
implementation of this plan. The Street Superintendent will prepare
an active recall roster.
3. Declaration of a Winter Emergency Route Snow Advisory / Snow Alert:
a. Only the Street Superintendent or Acting Street Superintendent
can declare a Snow Advisory or Alert. In their absence, this
decision is delegated to the Chief of Police and/or the City
Manager.
b. Emergency Route Snow Advisory will be issued for a snow event
that requires Emergency Routes be cleared. This is done to
ensure that emergency services can access all quadrants of
town. During a Emergency Route Snow Advisory, Emergency
Snow Routes will cleaned of snow from curb to curb. Any
vehicles parked upon an Emergency Snow Route shall be
subject to ticketing and towing
1) When an Emergency Route Snow Advisory has been declared,
the declaring official will contact the media by posting or
announcing that a Snow Advisory has been declared and all
vehicles not removed from Emergency Routes will be subject to
ticketing and towing.
c. Snow Alerts will be issued for snow events that will require all
available equipment and manpower to clear all City streets,
alleys and cul-de-sacs. Emergency Routes will maintain a priority
during Snow Alerts and may be cleared multiple times during the
same event. The issuance of a Snow Alert will automatically
implement a Parking Ban. This is done to ensure crews and their
equipment can operate in a safe and efficient manner.
1) When a Snow Alert has been declared, the declaring official
will contact the media by announcing that a Snow Alert has
been declared and all vehicles not removed from all city
streets will be subject to ticketing and towing.
d. The declaring official will notify the City of Brookings key
personnel. This includes the City Manager, Police Chief,
Police Dispatch and the Fire Department.
e. Ticketing and towing operations will be conducted by the City of
Brookings Police Department. Section F.1 of this plan covers
specifics for these procedures.
E. SNOW ROUTES, AREAS, PRIORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. City of Brookings
a. The priorities for Snow and Ice removal will be as follows: (note
Priorities may be adjusted due to specif ic storm conditions):
1) Emergency snow routes designated in RED on the

NOTE: When parked vehicles or other obstructions left in the street
make the plowing or abrasive application unsafe, risky, or
unproductive to the detriment of operations on other streets, the area
in question will be skipped until such time as removal activities may be
done safely and efficiently.
3. Media Interface:
a. It is imperative that the general public be informed on a regular
basis during Class 2 and 3 storms of the city’s efforts both
successful and not so successful in all aspects of Snow and
Ice removal operations.
b. All media releases will be by the Street Superintendent, Acting
Street Superintendent, Public Information Officer or other
designated official.
4. Accidents:
a. All accidents involving city vehicles occurring during Snow and
Ice removal operations will be reported immediately by cell phone
from snow equipment to the Street Superintendent.
1) Accidents are to be reported as follows.
a) Vehicular Damage - An accident report will be filled out at
the scene of the accident in addition to the radio report.
Standard accident procedures and forms will be utilized.
Additionally, a law enforcement officer will investigate the
accident at the scene prior to resumption of Snow and Ice
removal operations by the city vehicle involved.
b) Private Property Damage - (Mail Boxes, sprinkler systems,
and other private improvements) - Your mailbox and the
access to it for the U.S. Postal Service is the responsibility
of the resident. Again, because the crews have no place to
put the snow, curbside mailboxes may become blocked
and in those cases it is the responsibility of the resident to
move that snow beyond the street so that the postal
service may access the mailbox. Heavy snow pushed or
thrown by the plow may damage mailboxes. This is not
intentional, but does occasionally happen. The City is not
responsible for damage to mailboxes or other private
improvements placed within the road rights-of-way of its
roads that occurs as a result of snow and ice removal
operations.
c) Claim filing procedure- Any claims for insurance purposes
will be completed at the Street Department office at 125 7th
Ave. or, the City Human Resource Department at 520 3rd
St Suite 230. After completion the claimant paperwork will
then be processed for approval.
G. STAFF AND EQUIPMENT ASSIGNMENTS:
1. At the beginning of a Class 2 or 3 Storm the Street Department
will immediately commence operation.
2. The Street Department will be the primary staff and equipment resource
for all snow and ice removal operations. However, during sustained
snow and ice removal operations other departments may be asked by
the Street Superintendent to provide both staff and equipment resources
to support the in snow and ice removal operations.
3. Due to personnel and extent of winter weather events, it may not be
feasible to work shifts during extended storm events. For safe
operations, every effort will be made to have as many streets in
serviceable condition as possible in accordance with the storm route
priorities in as short a time as feasible. If operations are not complete
prior to personnel working for 15 continuous hours beginning when
they reported to work, whether for their regular shift or specifically for
emergency call out, operations will cease and personnel will be sent
home to rest and sleep. Employees will report back to work no sooner
than six (6) hours from the time operations ceased.
H. PRE-W INTER SEASON PREPARATION:
1. Safety Training: Commencing in October and continuing through the fall
and winter seasons, the Street Superintendent will schedule recurring
training that will focus on snow and ice control issues.
a. City operations personnel will hold meetings to discuss
known strengths and weaknesses in preparation for the snow
and ice season. These meetings will be conducted by the
Street Superintendent.
b. Practice runs of the routes will be driven by all operators prior to
mid-November to ensure all are familiar with the Emergency
Snow Routes and their designated areas.
2. Operator Training/Certification: New operators will be assigned to an
experienced operator to receive training on all phases of snow and ice
control. New operators will receive this training in pre-season and
during the actual snow and ice control season. The trainer of the new
operator will at the time of the new operator proficiency, certify t o the
Street Superintendent of city operations that the new operator is
cleared for individual (solo) operation. Operators will not be assigned to
equipment that they are not qualified to operate under any
circumstance.
3. Equipment Pre-Inspection and Calibration: Commencing in October, the
Street Division will prepare and ensure all snow and ice removal
equipment is prepared and operational for mounting to its assigned
piece of equipment.
a. All salt/sand spreaders will be calibrated and certified by the
Street Superintendent, or his designee, to ensure maximum
efficiency.
b. Salt and sand spreaders will be mounted on the assigned truck
after the end of the annual construction season or at such time as
directed by the Street Superintendent.
I. POST OPERATIONS PROCEDURES:
1. During storms, and after each shift, the operator will perform the
required maintenance and services on his assigned equipment. These
services include the following:
FILL FUEL TANKS CHECK
LIGHTS CHECK ALL
FLUIDS
INSPECT FOR FLUID LEAKS
FILL WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
CHECK TENSION ON CHAINS (TIRE AND SPREADER)

I. POST OPERATIONS PROCEDURES
A. INTRODUCTION:
1. The purpose of the Snow and Ice Removal Operation Plan is to provide
all personnel who are involved in snow and ice removal, and the public a
single source of information which clearly defines the City of Brookings’s
policies and procedures in all snow and ice operations.
2. Snow and Ice operations will be accomplished as expeditiously as
possible in conjunction with the priorities outlined in this plan due to
public safety and economic impact
3. The Snow and Ice season in Eastern South Dakota can begin as early
as October and terminate as late as late-April. The rate of
accumulation of snowfall or icing is affected by atmosphere
temperature, pavement temperature, moisture content, wind direction
and velocity, and intervals between storms. Each storm is unique, and
conditions may vary across the city. Therefore, while this plan tries to
cover the major operations during a Snow and Ice storm, it must be
recognized that there must be sufficient flexibility within the plan to
provide differences and or contingencies in order to respond
effectively to actual conditions.
B. GENERAL POLICY STATEMENTS:
1. The policy of the City of Brookings is to clear Emergency Snow Routes
and Public Safety Facilities of snow and ice as expeditiously as
practicable within the City’s area of responsibility during and following
every storm through the use of equipment and applicable materials
2. Snow and Ice control operations on all roads will be prioritized based on
immediate need for the public safety. Emergency snow routes will be
given the first priority for plowing and de-icing during and after a storm.
The intent is for all Emergency Snow Routes to be kept open when
possible. Emergency routes are shown in RED on the Snow Removal
Map.
a. No parking shall be permitted upon any portion of an Emergency
Snow Route where two (2) or more inches of snow have fallen in
any 24-hour period until such Emergency Snow Route has been
cleaned of snow from curb to curb. Any vehicles parked upon an
Emergency Snow Route shall be subject to ticketing and towing.
3. Snow removal and de-icing operations at the end of the storm, or
during times deemed necessary will be shifted to non-emergency
main artilleries and collector roads within city limits. These are
shown in GREEN and BLUE on the Snow Removal Map
4. At the end of the precipitation event, snow removal and de-icing
operations will be shifted to all remaining residential streets, cul-de-
sacs and alley ways within city limits.
5. The downtown core area will be cleared during or after emergency route
removal operations are complete or as manpower and equipment
resources become available. This is typically done between the early
morning hours of 1:00am – 7:00am. It is important for sidewalk snow
and ice removal operations be completed prior to street snow and ice
removal operations. (see Sec. 74-2) This ensures that the work has to
be done only one time per storm.
6. All other sidewalks are to be maintained by the adjacent property owners
per City Code.
a. Sec. 74-211. Duty of owner or occupant. It shall be the duty of
the owner or occupant or person in possession or in charge of
any lot, parcel or plat of ground fronting or abutting any sidewalk,
to keep such sidewalk free and clear from snow and ice at all
times. When it is impossible to clear snow and ice from a
sidewalk because it is frozen to the sidewalk, the owner,
occupant, or person in possession or in charge of such lot shall
sprinkle or spread some suitable material upon the same to
prevent the walk from becoming slippery and dangerous to travel
upon.
b. Sec. 74-2 Deposits in rights-of-way; exception for sidewalk snow
removal in central business district. It is unlawful for any person
to shovel or deposit snow, leaves, material or other substances of
any king and description from private property onto any public
street, alley or public right of way. Such conduct or action is
declared to be a nuisance. This section however, does not
prohibit the placement of snow from a sidewalk in the central
business district in the curb area of the street where no boulevard
or other property exists to place snow from the sidewalk.
7. Snow removal and de-icing operations will not be undertaken in alleys
unless there are snow accumulations in excess of 4” or ice
accumulations in excess of ½” as verified by Street Department staff.
8. A Winter Storm Alert can only be declared by the Street Superintendent,
Acting Street Superintendent, or in their absence, the Chief of Police or
the City Manager. Notice of a Winter Storm Alert will be given by posting
on the City Cable Television Channel, and by issuance of a notification
to the public via print, website, social media and other digital materials.
In the event of a declaration of a Storm Alert, the Police will ticket or tow
vehicles located on all Emergency Snow Routes as necessary to
expedite the Snow and Ice removal operations.
9. City personnel will not clear plowed-in driveways. Clearing driveways is
the citizens’ responsibility. The plowing operation produces a
continuous windrow of snow, and by its nature is expected to block
some citizens’ cleared driveways when there is significant snow
accumulated in the street.
10. The Street Superintendent may provide the media with Snow/Ice
removal updates during and after storm operations to keep the public
informed of the conditions of the roads. The City Snow Hotline,
telephone number 696-7669, and may be called for updates on City
Snow removal operations.
C. STORM CLASSIFICATIONS:
1. Each Snow or Ice storm will be unique and vary in intensity, duration
and total precipitation. This section will apply a basic classification
system to assist in establishment of priorities of equipment, material
manpower, and a management system for implementation in all Snow
and Ice removal operations. The storm classification system will utilize
an estimated total expected snowfall for snow and total ice glazing for
ice storms. This information will come from multiple weather sources
including; NOAA, Keloland and the National Weather Service.
2. Classes of Storms:
Class 1: 0” – 2”
a. Class 1 storm is defined as a storm with accumulations of two
inches or less, which in most cases will only require light plowing
and treating of pavement with applicable materials. All controls
and reporting of when the decision is made to proceed with snow
and ice removal operations will be managed by the Street
Superintendent. During a Class 1 storm City crews will handle
snow removal or deicing operations. Contractors will not be
activated.
Class 2 Storm: 2”- 6” Emergency Route Snow Advisory
b. Class 2 is defined as a storm of moderate to heavy snowfall with
estimated range of two - six inches. A Class 2 storm will cause an
issuance of an emergency route snow advisory. During a Class 2
storm event there is no parking on Emergency snow routes.
Those routes will be given the first priority for plowing and de-
icing. The intent is for all Emergency Snow Routes to be kept
open when possible. A Snow Alert is possible if the actual
conditions warrant. All controls and reporting of when and what
equipment will be implemented for snow and ice removal
operations will be managed by the Street Superintendent. During
a Class 2 Storm, the Street Superintendent may use City crews
within all departments or decide to activate contractors to plow
their designated areas.
Class 3 Storm: 6”+ , Snow Alert
c. Class 3 storm is defined as a storm of extremely heavy snow of
six inches or more occurring in a period of 24 hours or less. This
type of storm will cause life threatening conditions to occur. When
weather forecasts indicate that a Class 3 storm is imminent all
appropriate city equipment will be mobilized immediately. The
Street Superintendent, Acting Street Superintendent, or in their
absence, the Chief of Police or the City Manager, will declare a
Snow Alert. At that time a Parking ban on all City streets will be
implemented and enforced. The declaring official shall make the
appropriate media notifications of the Snow Alert. Parking ban on
all City streets will be enforced. A class 3 storm will activate all
contactors to plow their designated areas.
d. Ice Storms. All Ice Storms will be rated as a Class 1 type storm.
Ice Storms will cause an immediate threat to the public safety. If
an Ice Storm is forecast as imminent or otherwise develops, the
City will follow Class 1 procedures.
D. IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURES:
1. Weather/Storm Decisions:
a. During normal duty and non-duty hours the key personnel (Street
Superintendent or their designees) involved in Snow and Ice
control will monitor forecast storms utilizing the National Weather
Service, and local news outlets for updated weather information. If
a Class 1 storm is predicted, the Street Superintendent will
monitor conditions to verify equipment needs. During a Class 2
storm event, an Emergency Route Snow Advisory will be issued,
but a Snow Alert may or may not be activated. City crews will
monitor conditions to determine the need for a Snow Alert. For
Class 3 storms a Snow Alert will be issued by the Street
Superintendent.
b. In the event of a surprise storm outside normal work hours, the
police dispatcher will, based on police observations, call the
Street Superintendent, alerting them of the storm conditions. The
Street Superintendent will make the decision to dispatch the
appropriate personnel and equipment for the conditions.
2. Personnel Notification/Recall:
a. It is imperative that the Street Department and other city
departments maintain a current and validated recall roster during
the snow and ice season. Quick response is the key to successful
implementation of this plan. The Street Superintendent will prepare
an active recall roster.
3. Declaration of a Winter Emergency Route Snow Advisory / Snow Alert:
a. Only the Street Superintendent or Acting Street Superintendent
can declare a Snow Advisory or Alert. In their absence, this
decision is delegated to the Chief of Police and/or the City
Manager.
b. Emergency Route Snow Advisory will be issued for a snow event
that requires Emergency Routes be cleared. This is done to
ensure that emergency services can access all quadrants of
town. During a Emergency Route Snow Advisory, Emergency
Snow Routes will cleaned of snow from curb to curb. Any
vehicles parked upon an Emergency Snow Route shall be
subject to ticketing and towing
1) When an Emergency Route Snow Advisory has been declared,
the declaring official will contact the media by posting or
announcing that a Snow Advisory has been declared and all
vehicles not removed from Emergency Routes will be subject to
ticketing and towing.
c. Snow Alerts will be issued for snow events that will require all
available equipment and manpower to clear all City streets,
alleys and cul-de-sacs. Emergency Routes will maintain a priority
during Snow Alerts and may be cleared multiple times during the
same event. The issuance of a Snow Alert will automatically
implement a Parking Ban. This is done to ensure crews and their
equipment can operate in a safe and efficient manner.
1) When a Snow Alert has been declared, the declaring official
will contact the media by announcing that a Snow Alert has
been declared and all vehicles not removed from all city
streets will be subject to ticketing and towing.
d. The declaring official will notify the City of Brookings key
personnel. This includes the City Manager, Police Chief,
Police Dispatch and the Fire Department.
e. Ticketing and towing operations will be conducted by the City of
Brookings Police Department. Section F.1 of this plan covers
specifics for these procedures.
E. SNOW ROUTES, AREAS, PRIORITIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:
1. City of Brookings

AM Radio: 910 or 1430
Other means deemed necessary due to changes of the
above outlets.
NOTE: When parked vehicles or other obstructions left in the street
make the plowing or abrasive application unsafe, risky, or
unproductive to the detriment of operations on other streets, the area
in question will be skipped until such time as removal activities may be
done safely and efficiently.
3. Media Interface:
a. It is imperative that the general public be informed on a regular
basis during Class 2 and 3 storms of the city’s efforts both
successful and not so successful in all aspects of Snow and
Ice removal operations.
b. All media releases will be by the Street Superintendent, Acting
Street Superintendent, Public Information Officer or other
designated official.
4. Accidents:
a. All accidents involving city vehicles occurring during Snow and
Ice removal operations will be reported immediately by cell phone
from snow equipment to the Street Superintendent.
1) Accidents are to be reported as follows.
a) Vehicular Damage - An accident report will be filled out at
the scene of the accident in addition to the radio report.
Standard accident procedures and forms will be utilized.
Additionally, a law enforcement officer will investigate the
accident at the scene prior to resumption of Snow and Ice
removal operations by the city vehicle involved.
b) Private Property Damage - (Mail Boxes, sprinkler systems,
and other private improvements) - Your mailbox and the
access to it for the U.S. Postal Service is the responsibility
of the resident. Again, because the crews have no place to
put the snow, curbside mailboxes may become blocked
and in those cases it is the responsibility of the resident to
move that snow beyond the street so that the postal
service may access the mailbox. Heavy snow pushed or
thrown by the plow may damage mailboxes. This is not
intentional, but does occasionally happen. The City is not
responsible for damage to mailboxes or other private
improvements placed within the road rights-of-way of its
roads that occurs as a result of snow and ice removal
operations.
c) Claim filing procedure- Any claims for insurance purposes
will be completed at the Street Department office at 125 7th
Ave. or, the City Human Resource Department at 520 3rd
St Suite 230. After completion the claimant paperwork will
then be processed for approval.
G. STAFF AND EQUIPMENT ASSIGNMENTS:
1. At the beginning of a Class 2 or 3 Storm the Street Department
will immediately commence operation.
2. The Street Department will be the primary staff and equipment resource
for all snow and ice removal operations. However, during sustained
snow and ice removal operations other departments may be asked by
the Street Superintendent to provide both staff and equipment resources
to support the in snow and ice removal operations.
3. Due to personnel and extent of winter weather events, it may not be
feasible to work shifts during extended storm events. For safe
operations, every effort will be made to have as many streets in
serviceable condition as possible in accordance with the storm route
priorities in as short a time as feasible. If operations are not complete
prior to personnel working for 15 continuous hours beginning when
they reported to work, whether for their regular shift or specifically for
emergency call out, operations will cease and personnel will be sent
home to rest and sleep. Employees will report back to work no sooner
than six (6) hours from the time operations ceased.
H. PRE-W INTER SEASON PREPARATION:
1. Safety Training: Commencing in October and continuing through the fall
and winter seasons, the Street Superintendent will schedule recurring
training that will focus on snow and ice control issues.
a. City operations personnel will hold meetings to discuss
known strengths and weaknesses in preparation for the snow
and ice season. These meetings will be conducted by the
Street Superintendent.
b. Practice runs of the routes will be driven by all operators prior to
mid-November to ensure all are familiar with the Emergency
Snow Routes and their designated areas.
2. Operator Training/Certification: New operators will be assigned to an
experienced operator to receive training on all phases of snow and ice
control. New operators will receive this training in pre-season and
during the actual snow and ice control season. The trainer of the new
operator will at the time of the new operator proficiency, certify t o the
Street Superintendent of city operations that the new operator is
cleared for individual (solo) operation. Operators will not be assigned to
equipment that they are not qualified to operate under any
circumstance.
3. Equipment Pre-Inspection and Calibration: Commencing in October, the
Street Division will prepare and ensure all snow and ice removal
equipment is prepared and operational for mounting to its assigned
piece of equipment.
a. All salt/sand spreaders will be calibrated and certified by the
Street Superintendent, or his designee, to ensure maximum
efficiency.
b. Salt and sand spreaders will be mounted on the assigned truck
after the end of the annual construction season or at such time as
directed by the Street Superintendent.
I. POST OPERATIONS PROCEDURES:
1. During storms, and after each shift, the operator will perform the
required maintenance and services on his assigned equipment. These
services include the following:
FILL FUEL TANKS CHECK
LIGHTS CHECK ALL
FLUIDS
INSPECT FOR FLUID LEAKS
FILL WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID
CHECK TIRE PRESSURE
CHECK TENSION ON CHAINS (TIRE AND SPREADER)
FILL SALT/SAND HOPPER WITH MATERIAL
CHECK CUTTING EDGES ON EQUIPMENT
2. After storms, all equipment will receive a thorough inspection by the

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Charlie Richter, City Engineer
Council Meeting: August 23, 2022
Subject: Resolution 22-067: Bid Award - 2022-01SWR Sidewalk
Maintenance Project
Person(s) Responsible: Charlie Richter, City Engineer
Summary:
This resolution will accept the low bid for the 2022-01SWR Sidewalk Maintenance
Project. The City received one bid for the project, which was in the amount of
$292,732.50 from Clark Drew Construction. The bid is 23% higher than the
Engineering Estimate of $237,300.00.
Background:
This project is part of the annual sidewalk inspection project and entails replacement of
trip hazard sidewalks. This project includes homeowner trip hazards, which were not
repaired in the 2020 and 2021 sidewalk inspection areas, as well as properties that
volunteered to be part of the City’s project in the 2022 inspection area.
Item Details:
A bid letting was held at 1:30 PM on August 16, 2022 at the City & County
Government Center and the City received the following bid:
2022-01SWR Sidewalk Maintenance Project Clark Drew Engineer's
Construction, Inc. Estimate
Sidewalk Replacement Project $292,732.50 $237,300.00
Staff reviewed the bid prices in comparison to bids received in previous years. The
2022 bid prices were higher than the 2021 bid prices for concrete sidewalk work. The
total bid of Clark Drew Construction Inc. for $292,732.50 was approximately 23%
higher than the engineer’s estimate of $237,300.00.
Legal Consideration:
The sidewalk costs for this project are assessed to the property owners. The cost for
sidewalk replacement from this bid would be $36.57 per square foot of sidewalk,
whereas the previous sidewalk bids from 2021 were $21.62 per square foot. The
higher cost is being attributed to inflation, cement powder shortages, and labor
challenges. Property owners also have the option of hiring their own contractor to do
the work.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Safe Inclusive, Connected Community - This project’s primary focus is fixing sidewalk
trip hazards throughout the community. By fixing these hazards, the City is providing a
route for citizens of all ages to recreate, travel, and enjoy the community. The public
sidewalks provide an essential system of connectivity throughout the City that must be
maintained to ensure the safety of our citizens, and this project is one of many steps
towards the goals of the strategic plan.
Financial Consideration:
The City will enter into contract with Clark Drew Construction for a total price of
$292,732.50.
Options and Recommendation:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend
3. Deny
4. Move the item to a work session
5. Discuss / take no action / table
Staff recommends approval of the resolution as presented.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Charles L. Richter, City Engineer
Meeting: August 23, 2022 / September 13, 2022
Subject: Ordinance 22-030: Dynamic Braking Prohibition
Person(s) Responsible: Charles L. Richter, City Engineer
Summary:
The ordinance would prohibit the use of dynamic braking within City limits.
Background:
The City has received complaints regarding the loud noise caused by the use of
dynamic brakes around the city. Dynamic brakes, often referred to as Jake Brakes, are
devices on larger trucks used for braking without the use of wheel brakes. These “Jake
Brakes” use engine compression rather conventional wheel brakes. When activated,
especially at higher speeds, these “Jake Brakes” can create a load noise which travels
large distances. In areas such as along the Highway 14 Bypass, where there are traffic
signals, these devices, when activated, can be heard day and night. Many communities
in South Dakota have ordinances prohibiting the use of dynamic braking within city
limits to reduce noise pollution.
Item Details:
The proposed ordinance defines what is considered a dynamic braking device, the
prohibition, and allowable exceptions to this ordinance. The ordinance prohibits the use
of dynamic braking devices, unless it is needed in an emergency. This prohibition
would be city-wide. The one exception to this prohibition would allow the use of these
devices in emergency response vehicles.
The local business community was engaged for feedback.
Legal Consideration:
The City Attorney’s Office drafted the ordinance.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Service and Innovation Excellence – This ordinance will reduce noise pollution for
residents along busy streets.
Financial Consideration:
None
Options and Recommendation:
The City Council has the following options:
1. Approve as presented
2. Amend
3. Deny
4. Move the item to a study session
5. Discuss / take no action / table

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Erick Rangel, Chief Financial Officer
Council Meeting: August 9, 2022 / August 23, 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 mo ve 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.
Part C: Resolution 22-034 authorized a loan from the General Fund to the TIF 1
Capital Project Fund. This amendment simply a dds those totals to the budget for
presentation purposes.
Part D: The final pay request for the S. Main and 34th Avenue Project Fund was
received at the beginning of this year. The transfer of $7,500 to this fund will
close the project.
Part E: The expenditure budget for the 20th Street interchange was included in
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 impa ct.

Memorandum

Thornes, City Clerk
From: Steven J. Britzman, City Attorney
Date: May 2, 2018
Re: Municipal Regulation of Video Lottery location Pre-empted by State Law
Conclusion: State law does allow a municipality to consider the following criteria for authorizing
video lottery machine placement when issuing an on-sale wine or malt beverage license (no other
type of alcoholic beverage license). The criteria, as fully set forth below, include the number of
establishments currently licensed for video lottery, the proximity of the business to other
establishments licensed for video lottery, the type of business and manner in which the applicant
proposes to operate it, the location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential
areas, or activities within the same general area, the extent to which minors frequent a business
connected to the one proposed, and the effect the proposed business has on economic
development. I believe the final determination is made by the South Dakota lottery, but at least
with respect to two alcoholic beverage license types—on-sale wine and malt beverages—the city
can consider these State law criteria with respect to the decision whether to authorize video
lottery machine placement in the proposed establishment. No other City ordinance or Home
Rule Charter provision is applicable to the decision making. Please let me know if you have any
comments or questions concerning this opinion.
Discussion: The South Dakota Supreme Court case of Law v. City of Sioux Falls (2011),
resolved a number of questions concerning the ability of a municipality to regulate video lottery
and in particular the location of video lottery. The Supreme Court ruled:
It specifically gave only the executive director [of the State Lottery
Commission] the power to approve or disapprove any application for a license.
SDCL 42 -7A-57. In doing so, it provided that the director consider the
application’s proposed location…. In only one statute is a municipality given any
power with regard to video lottery. SDCL 42-7A-64 allows a municipality to
consider, when issuing two types of on-sale alcoholic beverage licenses, certain
factors relevant to the placement of video lottery machines. Municipalities,
however, are not given any power to license video lottery establishments, or
otherwise control the location of such establishments. See SDCL 42-7A-64.
[¶14] Based on t he character of the obligations imposed by the Legislature,
we see no delegation of power or responsibilities to municipalities and no
entrusting to municipalities the control video lottery. Rather, the statutes place all
burdens upon the State. Thus, we conclude that South Dakota’s legislative video
lottery scheme is sufficiently comprehensive to make reasonable the inference
– 2 – AUGUST 18, 2022
that the Legislature left no room for supplementary regulation of video lottery by
municipalities. It is immaterial that the City is governed by a home-rule charter or
empowered to enact zoning regulations.
SDCL 42 -7A-64 is restricted in its application to applicants for a wine retailer alcoholic
beverage license and to applicants for malt beverage licenses. In these two limited
circumstances, a municipality may consider, in addition to the criteria for the issuance of an on-
sale wine or malt beverage license, “the following criteria for authorizing video lottery machine
placement issued an on-sale wine or malt beverage license”:
(1) The number of establishments currently licensed for video lottery;
(2) The proximity of the business to other establishments licensed for video lottery;
(3) The type of business and manner in which the applicant proposes to operate it;
(4) The location of the business in relation to other businesses, residential areas,
or activities within the same general area;
(5) The extent to which minors frequent a business connected to the one proposed; and
(6) The effect the proposed business has on economic development.
The Full Text of the Statute is set forth below:
42-7A-64 Additional criteria for on-sale alcoholic beverage licensees in video lottery licensed

Resolution 22-064, a Resolution Authorizing an Inter-fund Advance from the Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP) Fund to the Special Assessment Fund.
Summary:
When new projects are proposed, City of Brookings Staff analyzes unrestricted fund balances to
determine financial feasibility. The Special Assessment Fund is unique, as it requires up-front
funding for projects, which are then paid back by property owners based on the assessment terms as
identified in the Special Assessment Policy. Payment in full could take several years following project
completion. This resolution authorizes a $121,000 advance from the CIP Fund to the Special
Assessment Fund to cover these up-front costs until they are paid back.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends approval.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Erick Rangel, Chief Financial Officer
Council Meeting: August 23, 2022
Subject: Resolution 22-064: authorizing an Inter-fund Advance from
the CIP Fund to the Special Assessment Fund
Presenter: Ashley Rentsch, Senior Finance Manager
Summary:
When new projects are proposed, City of Brookings Staff analyzes unrestricted fund
balances to determine financial feasibility. The Special Assessment Fund is unique, as
it requires up-front funding for projects, which are then paid back by property owners
based on the assessment terms as identified in the Special Assessment Policy.
Payment in full could take several years following project completion. This resolution
authorizes a $121,000 advance from the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Fund to the
Special Assessment Fund to cover these up -front costs until they are paid back.
Background:
The City of Brookings rejected all bids for 2021 Special Assessment Projects due to
higher than expected bids. This subsequently pushed the additional work to 2022, for
which bids are currently in process. A significant portion of Special Assessment Fund
reserves were utilized to finance the large 15th Street and 7th Avenue Improvement
Project, decreasing the amount of cash available to front the costs of annual special
assessment projects and necessitating an inter-fund advance from the CIP Fund to
cover these costs.
Item Details:
The most recent budget amendment, Ordinance 22-029, authorized an increase in
special assessment expenditures of $121,000 to account for the additional work not
completed in 2021. With the addition of these estimated expenditures to the budget, the
Special Assessment fund will require additional funds to maintain a positive cash
balance to pay for related expenditures. The CIP Fund has sufficient cash to provide an
advance, which will be paid back in subsequent years as property owners make
payments to the City for work performed.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
This action supports fiscal responsibility ensuring that the Special Assessment Fund
has sufficient resources to meet obligations for planned projects.
Financial Consideration:
This action authorizes an advance from the CIP Fund to the Special Assessments Fund
for $121,000. Annual special assessment revenues generated from these projects will
be paid back to the CIP Fund until the advance is paid back in full, n o later than
December 31, 2028.
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.

Resolution 22-064
Resolution Authorizing an Inter-fund Advance from the
Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) Fund to the Special Assessment Fund
Whereas, the Special Assessment Fund is the funding source for annual sidewalk and
alley improvements; and
Whereas, the City acknowledges that obligations for special assessment projects are
due prior to receipt of special assessment revenue received from property owners; and
Whereas, the City desires to finance the up-front costs of special assessments through
an inter-fund advance from the CIP Fund to be paid back as special assessment
revenue is received; and
Whereas, in accordance with SDCL 9-22-24, the City is authorized, upon approval of
the City Council, to loan unrestricted cash from one fund to another fu nd of the City, and
Whereas, it is in the best interests of the City of Brookings to finance expenditures for
upcoming special assessment projects from the CIP Fund with annual special
assessment revnues directed to the CIP Fund until the advance is paid in full, no later
than December 31, 2028.
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the City Manager is directed to execute an inter-
fund advance from the CIP Fund to the Special Assessment Fund, payable as follows:
Principal $ 121,000.00
Interest 0.0%
Term August 23, 2022 – December 31, 2028
Estimated Payment Schedule:

2023 $60,500 2026 $12,100
2024 $12,100 2027 $12,100
2025 $12,100 2028 $12,100
