Report: SDSU Student Association.
Summary:
SDSU SA Government Affairs Chair, Anna Hundt, will provide an update on SDSU happenings to the
City Council and members of the public.
My name is Anna Hundt. I am from Cashton, Wisconsin just outside of La Crosse. I am a
sophomore at SDSU studying Political Science and History with a Legal Studies minor and a Pre-
Law track. I am currently on track to graduate in December of 2027. I hope to attend law school
back in Wisconsin after I graduate to practice estate, LLC, and land law as an attorney. Though not
originally from South Dakota, I was able to serve as an intern for the South Dakota Legislature for
their 100th session. I served under Representative Bethany Soye in the House of Representatives. I
enjoyed my time there thoroughly and hope to return in some capacity throughout my undergraduate
career. At SDSU, I am involved in the Political Science Club, Pre-Law Society, the Newman Centr,
Honors College, and currently serve as the Treasurer of College Republicans.
The Students' Association is comprised of all General Activity Fee-paying students at South Dakota
State University. The Students' Association Senate is the official student government organization at
SDSU, consisting of 26 senators representing each of the academic colleges and the student body
president and vice president.
The Students' Association Senate serves as a representative body to bring the voice of SDSU
students to university administration, faculty, staff, state legislators and the South Dakota Board of
Regents of Higher Education. The Students' Association also allocates student fee funds to support
various campus entities, facilities and many student organizations.

City Council Agenda Item Memo
From: Ryan Miller, City Planner
Council Meeting: February 24, 2026 / March 10, 2026
Subject: Ordinance 26-0078: Amendments to Chapter 94, Article VI,
Division 5, Sec. 94-473: Projecting Signs
Presenter: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary and Recommended Action:
The proposed Ordinance would allow one projecting sign for every 25-feet of street
frontage facing a public street in the Business B-1 Central District. The current
ordinance allows only one projecting sign per face regardless of the width of the
building. Staff recommends approval. The Planning Commission voted 9-0 to
recommend approval.
Item Details:
Staff was asked to consider allowing additional projecting signage rights for downtown
buildings. A projecting sign is any sign affixed at an angle or perpendicularly to the wall
of any building in such a manner as to be read perpendicularly or at an angle to the wall
on which it is mounted. This does not include wall signs which are allowed separately
as a percentage of the building face and must be affixed parallel to the wall. Projecting
signs are allowed in all of the business zoning districts, with one per face limitation.
Downtown lots were platted at 25-feet in width along Main Avenue. However, over time
businesses expanded into adjacent lots, merging buildings and creating single building
faces with greater than 25-feet in width. As an example, 314 Main Avenue and 316
Main Avenue are now one building face sitting on two 25-foot lots for a total building
face width of 50-feet. As Code is currently written, one projecting sign would be allowed
for the building face. Had the building maintained separate 25-foot building faces, each
would be allowed a separate projecting sign. In this particular example, a variance was
granted in 2017 to allow a second projecting sign.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Economic Growth – The City of Brookings will support effective diversified community
investment and equitable opportunities for prosperity.
Financial Consideration:
None.

Item #6c – The City of Brookings has submitted a proposal for the amendment of Chapter 94, Article
VI, Division 5, Sec. 94-473 - projecting signs in the Business B-1 Central District to allow one
projecting sign for every 25-feet of street frontage facing a public street. The current ordinance allows

(Hinrichs/Schmeichel) Motion to approve the ordinance amendment. All present voted aye. MOTION
CARRIED.
OFFICIAL SUMMARY
Item #6c – The City of Brookings has submitted a proposal for the amendment of Chapter 94, Article
VI, Division 5, Sec. 94-473 - projecting signs in the Business B-1 Central District to allow one
projecting sign for every 25-feet of street frontage facing a public street. The current ordinance allows
only one projecting sign per face regardless of the width of the building.
Hinrichs asked what the maximum number of signs downtown would be if every business maximized
their sign allowance. Miller used an example of two 25-foot building faces that were combined into
one building face that would require a variance for a second sign under the current ordinance whereas,
with the amendment, a second sign would be allowed by right on a 50-foot face. He went on to say that
most downtown businesses have a 25-foot face so there are not many cases where the amendment
would apply. Limmer asked for clarification on when a second sign would be allowed. Miller detailed
that one sign would be allowed on building faces up to 25-feet and a 26-49 foot face would allow up to
two projecting signs. Jamison asked if this would apply to corner lots. Miller confirmed that it would.
Jamison requested the wording be changed to account for multilevel businesses. Miller referenced 94-
473.b and asked if that was what Jamison was requesting. Jamison said it was similar. Limmer asked
how often this variance has been requested. Miller stated that the example property is the only one that
has currently requested it. Struck discussed multitenant buildings becoming more common and
referred to a restriction on the percentage of the face that could be covered with signage. Limmer asked
how projecting signs interacted with the overall allowable signage. Miller stated that they increase the
overall allowable signage.

City Council Agenda Item Memo
From: Ashley Rentsch, Finance Director
Council Meeting: February 24, 2026
Subject: Resolution 26-019: Consolidated Fee Schedule Amendment
Presenter: Ashley Rentsch, Finance Director
Summary and Recommended Action:
Staff recommends approval of the proposed Resolution to amend the 2026
Consolidated Fee Schedule to establish a $1.25 per pound fee for electronics waste (e-
waste) at the Brookings Regional Landfill.
Item Details:
The Brookings Regional Landfill has historically accepted electronic waste (e-waste).
The Landfill has now secured a vendor to provide responsible collection, transport, and
recycling of e-waste. This necessitates the implementation of a $1.25 per pound fee for
e-waste disposal to recover processing costs and promote proper disposal practices.
Beyond cost recovery, this change also serves to extend the operational life of the
landfill by removing bulky electronics from the waste stream and reduce the risk of
landfill fires.
All revenues collected will support vendor processing and operational expenses related
to electronics collection. Staff will continue to review the fee annually to ensure
alignment with market conditions and program costs.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Fiscal Responsibility – The City of Brookings will responsibly manage resources
through transparency, efficiency, equity, and exceptional customer service.
Financial Consideration:
This user fees will recover the costs associated with e-waste recycling and disposal.

City Council Agenda Item Memo
From: Ryan Miller, City Planner
Council Meeting: February 24, 2026
Subject: Preliminary Plat: Block 1, South Haven Addition
Presenter: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary and Recommended Action:
PMVK LLC has submitted a Preliminary Plat of Block 1 of South Haven Addition. Staff
recommends approval. The Planning Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval.
Item Details:
The proposed South Haven Addition includes roughly seven acres currently comprised
of Outlots C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J in the Northwest Quarter of the Southeast Quarter of
Section 11, Township 109 North, Range 50 West. The outlots were historically
occupied by the South Brook Mobile Home Park which has since been abandoned. The
owner intends to replat the outlots into one parcel, Block 1 of South Haven Add ition for
future redevelopment.
The outlots are all zoned Business B-3 Heavy district with Outlot J being most recently
rezoned in 2024. The proposed 6.6-acre Block 1 meets the requirements of the B-3
District, and includes sufficient area for the required minimum setbacks. Because the
preliminary plat shows just one parcel (Block 1), any subsequent subdivisions of Block 1
into lots will require a revised preliminary plat.
The remaining 0.4-acres of the original area is proposed as a 30-foot right-of-way to
extend the private street Kalani Place to Main Avenue South. The proposed right-of-
way does not meet the city’s requirements for street width. The Development Review
Team (DRT) recommended this additional section of Kalani Place be platted and
maintained as a private street. Additionally, the DRT recommended the widening of the
Main Avenue South right-of-way from 33-feet to 40-feet in order to meet the minimum
requirements for an 80-foot arterial street right-of-way.
An existing utility easement runs through the middle of the future Block 1 along with
utility easements along the north property line and a portion of the west property line.
Additional easement needs will be reviewed during the final platting review.
Preliminary grading, drainage and utility plans were submitted along with the preliminary
plat. The property is not located within a floodway or floodplain.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
Economic Growth – The City of Brookings will support effective diversified community
investment and equitable opportunities for prosperity.
Financial Consideration:
None

City Council Agenda Item Memo
From: Ryan Miller, City Planner
Council Meeting: February 24, 2026
Subject: Preliminary Plat: Lots 1 & 2, Block 2, and Lots 1 – 3, Block
3, all in Legacy Addition
Presenter: Mike Struck, Community Development Director
Summary and Recommended Action:
Legacy Storage Condos LLC has submitted a Preliminary Plat of Lots 1 & 2 in Block 2
and Lots 1 - 3 in Block 3, all in Legacy Addition. Staff recommends approval. The
Planning Commission voted 9-0 to recommend approval.
Item Details:
The proposed preliminary plat will create five new lots within two blocks of an extended
phase of Legacy Addition. Block 1, Legacy Addition, was preliminary and final platted in
2025 and is located south of and separate from the proposed Blocks 2 and 3 along 34th
Avenue. The full buildout of Legacy Addition will eventually connect Blocks 1, 2 , and 3
through future phases.
Block 2, Legacy Addition, will include two lots zoned Industrial I-1 Light District. Lot 1
will be located at the corner of 34th Avenue and the proposed Mission Street. Lot 1 is
4.3 acres. Lot 2 will be located to the east of Lot 1 with access to the proposed Mission
Street. Lot 2 is 2.5 acres.
Block 3 will include three lots zoned Industrial I-1 Light District. Lot 1 will be located at
the corner of 34th Avenue and the proposed Mission Street. Lot 1 will be 3 acres. Lots
2 and 3 will be located to the east of Lot 1 along the proposed Mission Street. Lots 2
and 3 will be 1.9 and 2 acres respectively.
Mission Street is a proposed east-west street providing access to 34th Avenue. Mission
Street will ultimately extend further into the Legacy Addition development to provide
additional connectivity for future phases. The proposed 60-foot right-of-way width for
Mission Street has been accepted by the Engineering Department.
The developer has submitted preliminary grading, utility, and drainage plans for review.
Water service is planned from 34th Avenue to serve the initial lots in Blocks 2 and 3.
Sewer and storm water flows will run east and then south eventually flowing through a
future street system in a future phase of Legacy Addition. Sewer will eventually flow out
through Block 1 of Legacy Addition. Stormwater will flow to a future stormwater
detention lot along Highway 14. Easements to protect the stormwater and sewer lines
located beyond the preliminary plat area may be required if determined necessary by
Brookings Municipal Utilities and the City Engineer.
Legal Consideration:
None.
Strategic Plan Consideration:

City Council Agenda Item Memo
From: Sequitor Edge, LLC
Council Meeting: February 24, 2026
Subject: Presentation and recommendation to approve a Sales Tax
Incentive Grant to support the redevelopment and expansion of an
existing facility into a Tier III+ edge computing and colocation data
storage facility within the SDSU Research Park.
Presenters: Victoria Blatchford, VP Business Development, Sequitor Edge, LLC
Stephanie Mason, Business Development Director, Brookings
Regional Growth Alliance
Summary and Recommended Action:
Sequitor Edge, LLC requests City Council approval of a Sales Tax Incentive Grant to
support the redevelopment and expansion of an existing facility into a Tier III+ edge
computing and colocation data storage facility within the SDSU Research Park. The
project represents an over $41 million private investment and will generate long-term
property tax growth, new municipal sales and property tax revenue, and high-wage
technology employment. Sequitor Edge is requesting Sales Tax Incentives of $644,280
for the project.
Item Details:
Sequitor Edge is making a long-term infrastructure investment in Brookings to support
secure digital services for regional research, healthcare, ag-technology, and advanced
manufacturing users. As earlier as November 2025 the project has received formal
support from the Research Park at SDSU Board of Directors and aligns with the City’s
economic development goals related to technology diversification, tax base growth, and
infrastructure-ready development.
Sequitor Edge, LLC proposes the redevelopm ent and expansion of an existing facility
located at 2324 Research Park Way, within the Research Park at South Dakota State
University, into a Tier III+ edge computing and colocation data storage facility.
The facility will provide secure, resilient, and low-latency digital infrastructure serving
research institutions, healthcare systems, ag-technology firms, advanced manufacturing
operations, and enterprise users. Initial Phase 1 buildout will support over 250 data
cabinets, with infrastructure designed for phased expansion.
The project represents an estimated $41 million private capital investment, including
substantial upgrades to electrical, mechanical, cooling, security, and redundant systems
required to meet Tier III+ standards. Initial operations will require approximately 2 MW
of power, with long-term scalability up to 10 MW as demand increases. Cooling
systems require a one-time fill of approximately 19,000–20,000 gallons, with minimal
ongoing water use thereafter.
Sequitor Edge will initially operate under a 75-year ground lease with an option to
purchase. Upon purchase, the land and improvements will become fully assessed for
property tax purposes.
The requested incentive is a rebate of City sales tax paid on eligible construction and
equipment purchases. The incentive does not involve upfront City expenditures and is
reimbursed only after sales tax payments are verified.
COSTS CITY TAX (2%)
Building: $ Property Tax Rates
Construction/ Renovations: $20,843,975 $416,880
Equipment: $11,370,000 $227,400
Other
TOTAL: $41,697,617 $644,280
Legal Consideration:
South Dakota Codified Law Chapter 10-46 authorizes municipalities to appropriate
municipal sales tax revenues for economic development purposes, including the use of
performance-based sales tax incentive grants, as implemented locally through City
Policy CC-309.
Strategic Plan Consideration:
The project supports the City’s Economic Development Master Plan by:
Diversifying the local economy
Increasing the long-term property tax base
Attracting technology-based, non-retail investment
Supporting infrastructure-intensive development within the Research Park
Financial Consideration:
The incentive is funded solely from City sales tax revenue generated by the p roject. The
City retains ongoing fiscal benefits beyond the incentive term through continued sales
tax generation and increased property tax valuation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Sequitor Edge – Brookings, South Dakota
What is Sequitor Edge?
Sequitor Edge is a Tier III+ edge computing and colocation data center designed to provide secure, reliable digital
infrastructure close to where data is created and used.
Why locate this project in Brookings?
Brookings is a strategic location that supports research, healthcare, ag-technology, manufacturing, and education
while benefiting from strong utilities, workforce, and regional connectivity.
Where is the project going to be in Brookings?
Location selected is the vacant building at 2324 Research Park Way, Brookings, SD in the Research Park at South
Dakota State University. Officially approved as a tenant of the Research Park in late October 2025.
How much power will the data center use?
The facility will start at a smaller scale and is planned to grow gradually to a maximum of approximately 10
megawatts over time—significantly smaller than hyperscale data centers.
Will this project strain local utilities?
No. Brookings Municipal Utilities has worked with Sequitor Edge for nearly a year. A Distribution Study has been
completed with no concerns identified, and a Transmission Study is nearing completion with preliminary findings
showing no issues supporting the project.
How much water will the data center use?
Sequitor Edge uses a closed-loop cooling system requiring a one-time fill of approximately 19–20 thousand gallons,
followed by normal office-level water usage.
Will the facility create noise issues for nearby areas?
No. Noise levels will be comparable to existing manufacturing facilities in Brookings, primarily from chillers and
backup generators, and will comply with local noise standards.
Is this the same as a hyperscale data center?
No. Sequitor Edge is intentionally right-sized. Hyperscale data centers often require hundreds of megawatts of
power and millions of gallons of water per day; Sequitor Edge does not.
Has the City been involved in site selection?
Yes. Sequitor Edge has met twice with the City of Brookings Development Review Team—in August 2025 and
January 2026—whose input was instrumental in identifying an appropriate site location.
What are the benefits to the Brookings community?
The project supports high-wage jobs, strengthens digital infrastructure, attracts research and business investment,
and helps position Brookings for long-term economic growth.
What happens next?
Sequitor Edge will continue working with the City of Brookings, Brookings Municipal Utilities, and other
stakeholders through the normal permitting, planning, and development process.
Will the City receive sales tax revenue from the data center?
Yes. Revenues generated by the Sequitor Edge data center in Brookings will be subject to the City of Brookings’ 2%
municipal sales tax, creating an ongoing local revenue stream that helps support city services and infrastructure.
What is the land ownership and tax status of the site?
Sequitor Edge will initially operate under a 75-year ground lease with an option to purchase the five-plus-acre site.
Once purchased, the land will become property-tax assessed, adding directly to the Brookings County tax base.
How does the project impact property tax revenues?
The project includes approximately $41 million in building renovation and expansion to convert the existing
facility into a Tier III+ edge computing center. This investment will immediately increase the property’s assessed
value. The existing building currently generates more than $29,000 per year in property taxes, which is expected to
increase substantially as improvements are completed.
What sales tax revenue could the project generate once operational?
Once the Sequitor Edge data center is operational, revenues generated in Brookings will be subject to the City’s 2%
municipal sales tax. Based on current projections, estimated gross revenues and corresponding taxable activity are
as follows:
• 2027: Approximately $1.9 million (operations beginning in Q2 2027)
• 2028: Approximately $6.8 million
• 2029: Approximately $8.8 million
• 2030: Approximately $9.8 million
• 2031: Approximately $10.0 million
• 2032: Approximately $10.2 million
These revenues translate into a recurring municipal sales tax benefit that grows as the facility reaches full
operational scale, providing a long-term revenue source to support city services and infrastructure.
Projected City of Brookings Sales Tax Revenue (2%)
Year Projected Gross Revenue Estimated 2% City Sales Tax
2027* $1.9 million $38,000
2028 $6.8 million $136,000
2029 $8.8 million $176,000
2030 $9.8 million $196,000
2031 $10.0 million $200,000
2032 $10.2 million $204,000
*2027 reflects partial-year operations beginning in the second quarter.
