strategic and operational needs. This proposed amendment aligns with the City’s
commitment to proactive financial management and the successful implementation of

development organizations, including:
President and CEO search process
Brand/Identity development
Legal counsel for asset management, bylaw creation, and
policy/procedure development
Compensation package for the President/CEO for the remainder of
2025
These resources will enable the successful launch and initial operation of the
merged organization while honoring the missions of the existing organizations, as
outlined in the draft implementation plan.
2. Office Space Rental Support - $12,000

Council Meeting: May 27, 2025
Subject: Ordinance 25-017: Amendment No. 3 to the 2025 Budget
Presenter: John Thompson, Public Works Director
Summary and Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of this budget amendment to support infrastructure
improvements on Capital Street. The amendment includes a $200,000 transfer from
General Fund economic development reserves to the Marketplace Capital Project Fund
for a sewer line extension, and authorizes the transfer of $260,000 in 2nd Penny Sales
Tax / Capital Improvement Plan Fund reserves to the Marketplace Capital Project Fund
for paving and street improvements. These enhancements will support ongoing
economic development efforts and prepare the area for future private investment.
Item Details:
The City of Brookings continues to prioritize strategic infrastructure investments that
enable and attract economic development. The proposed amendment includes two
components:
1. Sewer Line Extension - $200,000
A transfer of $200,000 from General Fund economic development reserves to
the Marketplace Capital Project Fund will cover a sewer line extension along
Capital Street. This critical utility expansion is foundational to enabling
development of adjacent parcels.
2. Street Paving and Improvements - $260,000
An additional transfer of $260,000 from Capital Improvement Plan Fund reserves
to the Marketplace Capital Project Fund will be allocated for paving and other
infrastructure enhancements along Capital Street. These improvements are
necessary to ensure accessibility and readiness for development of the Wiese
property, which lies adjacent to the city’s Marketplace site.
The $260,000 used from the Capital Improvement Plan Fund will be reimbursed upon
the sale of the Wiese property. These investments represent an intentional effort to
enhance the economic value and development readiness of this City-owned property.
Legal Consideration:
In compliance with SDCL 9-21-7, this budget amendment is necessary to authorize
supplemental appropriations funded through available reserves. The transfer and use
of funds reflect strategic alignment with legal, financial, and economic d evelopment
objectives.

through transparency, efficiency, equity, and exceptional customer service.

community investment and equitable opportunities for prosperity.

$460,000. Funding sources are as follows:

OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #5c – Tyler Brockel has applied for a Conditional Use Permit to operate a gun manufacturing
business as a Major Home Occupation in a residential district. Staff recommends approval with the
following conditions; the Conditional Use Permit is valid only for the current applicant at the current
address of 2505 Larkspur Ridge Drive and is nontransferable, build or assembly classes shall be
prohibited on the premises and the applicant must submit proof of all relevant licensing renewals every
three years. This item was tabled at the April 1, 2025 meeting to allow the applicant to answer staff
inquiries.
Brockel explained that he has an existing federal firearms license and is currently performing build
classes at another location in Brookings. He is seeking to utilize his home address to host the license
and offering solely traveling classes with no classes or signage on the premises. Limmer asked the
applicant if he had communicated with the nearby school and for any further information to settle
concerns with the proximity to the school. Brockel stated all materials are made by third party shops
and the assembly of firearms will not be completed on site. The addition of the business does not add
to the amount of completed firearms in the vicinity of the school. He also had not spoken with the
school district in regards to the request. Schmeichel asked what the city attorney’s determination was
regarding operating a federal firearm license within a school zone. Miller stated that he consulted with
the City Attorney to confirm that this would be exempt from the federal law banning firearms within
1,000 feet of a school. Miller added that he had contacted the school who also asked to confirm if the
application would meet state and federal laws. Aiken asked if there would be any manufacturing on
site. Brockel stated that he himself has put together two firearms for charity in the past. Aiken inquired
if he was ok with the staff recommendations. Brockel confirmed that he was ok with all the
recommendations and that this was the first step of applying for the federal firearms license.
