City Council Agenda Memo
From: Charlie Richter, City Engineer
Council Meeting: January 10, 2023
Subject: Resolution 23-006: Change Order No. 2 for 2022-08STI
Street Maintenance & Overlay Project; Bowes Construction,
Inc.
Person(s) Responsible: Charlie Richter, City Engineer
Summary:
The 2022-08STI Street Maintenance & Overlay Project has been completed and a
balancing change order to adjust bid quantities to as-constructed quantities is needed
for final payment.
Background:
This is an annual street maintenance project, which includes asphalt milling, road
reconstruction, water main work, and overlays on various streets in Brookings in need of
repair. This year, the project also included sidewalk ramp upgrades and new fillets.
Item Details:
The project is completed and is ready to be closed out. The recommended change
order will adjust the bid quantities to as-constructed quantities for a total decrease of
$138,643.23 (7%). The decrease in cost for the project was primarily due to the
removal of the mill and overlay of Medary Avenue (6th Street to Harvey Dunn Street).
The substantial completion date for the project was November 11, 2022; however the
project exceeded the substantial completion date by 3 working days. In accordance
with the construction contract, staff recommends that the contractor be charged 3 days
of liquidated damages.
Recommended Change Order:
Medary Ave. (6th St. to Harvey Dunn St., Approx.) ($154,987.90)
Liquidated Damages (3 days x $950) ($ 2,850.00)
Variety of additional bid quantities $ 19,194.67
Total Change Order ($138,643.23)
The following is a summary of the contract from origination:
Original Contract Price: $1,947,515.05
Change from Previously Approved Change Orders: $ 79,410.55
Contract Price Prior to this Change Order: $2,026,925.60
Decrease of this Change Order (No. 1 Final): ($ 138,643.23)
Contract Price incorporating this Change Order: $1,888,282.37
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
The street maintenance program furthers the accomplishment of City Council Strategic
Initiative of Maintaining Facilities with a Sustainable Plan. The asphalt material that is
milled from the street surfacing is used in the hot asphalt mix that is placed in the
overlay, thereby recycling the amount of virgin aggregate material and using less
percentage of oil in the mix. The asphalt overlays will extend the life of the streets and
reduce the need for a full reconstruction of the streets.
Financial Consideration:
The contract with Bowes Construction will be decreased by $138,643.23 for the
adjustment of quantities.
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.

The City Council developed a five-year Strategic Plan for 2021-2026. Annually, the City
Council receives an update on the plan. The living document should be reflective of the

Item Details:
The updated 2021-2026 City Council Strategic Plan contains five focus areas, which
include:
• Fiscal Responsibility

areas to ensure constant commitment to the plan. Internally, the document is reviewed
quarterly to monitor success.
The report focuses on major achievements in 2022. Many of the projects identified will
continue for the foreseeable future. Reported tasks must fit within the Council

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Council Meeting: January 10, 2023 / January 24, 2023
Subject: Ordinance 23-001: Ordinance Amendment – Planning
Commission Terms and Organization
Presenter: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary:
An ordinance amending the length of terms of Planning Commission members to three
(3) years and changing the secretary of the Planning Commission to the Community
Development Director or designee.
Background:
The terms of the Planning Commission are currently set as five (5) year terms per
ordinance. Over the years, it has become more difficult to find volunteers to serve on
the Planning Commission. Recent discussions with current and expiring Planning
Commission members has identified the five (5) year term length as one of the factors
in considering re-appointment to the Planning Commission.
The second part of the ordinance amendment is to clean up language in the
Organization section of Chapter 66 pertaining to the organization of the Planning
Commission. Section 66-9 references the planning, zoning and housing administrator
shall act as secretary of the Planning Commission. The planning, zoning and housing
administrator is no longer a position recognized within the City of Brookings
organizational structure.
Item Details:
The proposed ordinance would shorten the length of terms of the Planning Commission
from five (5) years to three (3) years. This proposed change would align with many of
the terms of other volunteer boards in the City of Brookings.
The second part of the ordinance amendment is clerical to recognize updates within the
organization and referencing the secretary of the Planning Commission as the
Community Development Director or designee.
Legal Consideration:
The City Attorney drafted the ordinance amendment.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
The proposed ordinance amendment is consistent with City Council Strategic Plan Area
of Service and Innovation Excellence by continually evaluating and updating policies to
reflect the changing needs of our community. Reducing the length of terms for Planning
Commission members may expand the pool of volunteers which provide an important
service to the community.
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
Staff recommends approval of the ordinance as presented.

City Council Agenda Memo
From: Ryan Miller, City Planner
City Council Meeting: December 20, 2022 / January 10, 2023
Subject: Rezone 18.84 acres of BMU WTP Addition
Person(s) Responsible: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary:
Brookings Municipal Utilities (BMU) has submitted a petition to rezone 18.84 acres of
land located along 34th Avenue from Joint-Jurisdiction Agriculture to I-1 Light Industrial.
Background:
In October 2022, BMU submitted a petition for annexation for 18.84 acres of land. The
land will be the future location of a water treatment plant to soon be constructed. The
land is currently zoned Joint Jurisdiction Agriculture; however, whenever annexation
occurs, future zoning of the land should be considered in o rder to select an appropriate
City zoning district. BMU has identified the Industrial I-1 Light District as the preferred
zoning district to best match the semi-industrial look and feel of a water treatment plant,
as well as tie into the existing zoning of the 32nd Avenue / 34th Avenue Industrial Park.
Prior to being rezoned, an amendment to the Comprehensive Plan’s Future Land Use
Map should be approved to an appropriate future land use classification. BMU has
submitted a proposed amendment of the land from Urban Medium to Civic land use,
which would support the rezone and intended land use.
Item Details:
The property is currently zoned Joint Jurisdiction Agriculture. Property to the west
across 34th Avenue is zoned I-1. Property to the south is zoned both I-1 and Joint
Jurisdiction Agriculture. Property to the east and north are zoned Joint Jurisdiction
Agriculture.
A water treatment plant would be a permitted use within the Industrial I-1 Light District
as a public utility facility.
Legal Consideration:
None
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Service and Innovation Excellence – The project will support BMU’s efforts to build a
new water treatment plant.
Financial Consideration:
