Brookings City Council
February 10, 2009
The Brookings City Council held a meeting on Tuesday, February 10,2009 at 5:00 p.m., at City Hall
with the following members present: Mayor Scott Munsterman, Council Members Julie Whaley,
Mike Bartley, Ryan Brunner,Tim Reed,Mike McClemans, and Tom Bezdichek. City Manager Jeff
Weldon, City Attorney Steve Britzman, and Deputy City Clerk Bonnie Foster were also present.
Possible eastside relocation of Brookings Area Transit Authority Service Brenda Schweitzer,
BATA Executive Director,visited with the Council about the possibility of relocating the BATA
facility to a different location that would provide a laxger facility. BATA currently owns a building
on grounds provided by the Brookings County Highway Department with no opportunity to expand
the building. They are considering selling the building to the County if they re-locate and build new
facilities. Because of their funding, they would like to own their facilities as opposed to leasing
them.
BATA discussed with the City Council using some of the city property on 32"d Avenue North
somewhere in the Weise Business Park ox just north of the R&T Center. With good access to I-29,
Hwy 14, the Hwy 14 by-pass, and many trip-destination employers such as those in the Telkamp
Industrial Paxk,BATA views this as a good location. These sites are slated for an expansion of
commercial activities,howevex, the co-location of transit services to augment and support
commercial activity could be advantageous to development; and dedicating a few acres to such a
service in this area should not unduly restrict the availability of land for commercial development.
Schweitzer estimates a 20,000 sq. ft. building, approxirnately 124'x 134'in size,would meet theit
needs. The building would be of steel-frame construction. Schweitzer stated there is some possible
stimulus package funding that they would qualify for.
Bruce Lindholm,Pxogram Manager for local transportation programs related with SDDOT,is
confident they would qualify for stimulus funds. The grant has to go to who owns the land; the
city/county maintains the land and building, and in turn lease it to the transit. If the building is not
used for transit, the federal share of the building has to be returned. The downside of applying for
these funds is that projects will have to be ready to go within 90 days of signing the bill. T"his would
be a fairly monumental task.
Other potential locations discussed were: in the industrial park on the south side of Hwy 14, city
property by the airport, and SDSU propexty by the airport. None of these were seemed as
appropriate due to traffic congestion, too narrow of a lot, and possible FAA regulations regarding
properry use by the airport.
Munsterman requested this to be added to the next council work session fox further discussion.

Cage/Ultimate Fightin� Council Member Bezdichek requested discussion on this issue. City
Attorney Britzman provided ordinances from the cities of Sioux Falls and Vermillion related to cage
and ultimate fighting to serve as model ordinance examples to review and discuss.
Bezdichek clarified that his concern with cage/ultimate fighting is that it occurs in a city-owned
facility. He would like to see something similar to Sioux Falls Ordinance Section 673,where these
types of events are not allowed in any city-owned facilities.
Britzman stated extreme fighting can be defined as mi�ced martial arts. Vermillion&Sioux Falls
limit the activity in public venues. Britzrnan suggested a basic set of rules for protection of city and
those participating: insurance covexage,medical personnel on hand during event,rules as to types of
activity that can be utilized in a contest. A required permit would trigger a notice that this activity
will be going on,and state the xegulations. The ordinance would require direction fxom a regulation
standpoint. This falls under general powers: Safety/health or Welfare.
Weldon stressed keeping the best interest of the Swiftel Center in mind. These a,re regulated events
governed by referees. The past si�c such events had approximately 3,500 in attendance. We can't
ignore what it does for the facility. We hire Venue Works to do a job for us and this is part of that.
If we erode at the base and start limiting the types of events we want to have,we axe strangling the
ability of Venue Works to keep the Swiftel Center successful.
Tom Richter, Executive Di�ector of the Swiftel Center,Jeff Kossman, Fury Inc.,and Steve Peters,
President Venu Works, stated these events have been held without incident and are held in over 30
states.
Council di.rcu.rsion: CounczlMember.r Whaley and Br�rnner agreed Venui�ork.r sva.r hired to manage the S�vifte!
Center, and the council need.r ta let them do.ro.
CouncilMemberr Bartley and McCleman.r.rtated thi.r i.r a form of entertainment�vhich i.r be.rt held in a contmlled
envirnnment.
Aeed�vould like for the council to have the ability to.ray `no'to an event. He feel.r an ordinance i.r needed to contro!
the.re event.r svithin the city, a.r the Suriftel Cerrter i.r curr�ntly the only facilfty capable of holding the.ce tyfie.r of event.r.

�uarterly Financial Re�ort for the Brookings Municitial Liquor Store. Weldon gave an
overview of the BMLS 4�'quarter financials. The net profit was 14.75%, significantly above the 8%
projections. T'he margin was 10.87%and the override was 9.11%,with net operating profit of
8.19% fox retail. He sees these increases being due to the changes made in the opexation from mid-
yeax on.
Broo ' s Health Systems Task Force. Bartley stated his intention is not to facilitate a sale of
the hospital,but rather look at how to levexage the asset to get things for the city that it can't get for
itself. He would like to see the City Manager and BHS Boazd President form this task force and set
the mission,goals and objectives.
A1 Heuton,BEDC Executive Director,gave an overview of the Long-Term Health Care Study in
progress. The scope of the study has been expanded to look at re�ement community development
as well,not just nursing homes. They have received three Requests for Pxoposals,and have
conducted a phone interview with the preferred consultant. Heuton projects having a consultant on
board within the next 30 days. It will take approximately eight months to conduct the study itself.
Munsterman stated we need to detexrnine what our market,what our niche,in the region is and how
does it fit within the economic development plan. The task fozce would look at whether or not to
keep the hospital.
Bartley believes looking at the Hospital as an asset should be dealt with pxior to the Long-Term
Health Care Study. He feels as an elected official,it is a duty to take that look...to look at all
options.

Munsterman agreed that resources need to be used appropriately for the best benefit and the
economic development plan. What is going to come out of the study will help make decisions on
how to leverage assets. This is something that is going to take some time.
Brunner questioned if the Long-Term Health Caxe Study will be looking at some of the th.ings
Council Member Bartley wants this task force to look at. Munsterman stated the information found
' in the study will give a picture of health care delivery. The study may find owning the hospital
independendy is better than selling it, ot discover that we need a partner. It will help find the
information which isn't in front of us today, to give the scope of health care; that is the picture he
wants the council and BHS Board need to have in fxont of them before discussion ensues on what
to do with the asset of the hospital.
Baxdey asked if the study would be expanded to cover those things the hospital does. Heuton
clarified there is a component in the study which looks at services required by retirees;however,it
does not address everything the hospital does.
Reed understands it as looking at the best option for long-term health caxe. The study was
broadened to look at how does health care relate in total to long-term caxe versus just the bui.tding.
It should tell us what we need for retirees.
Bartley stated the study is limited in scope. Thexe is some overlap,but not enough of the issue of
the hospital ... the entire asset functionality. Nursing, sports medicine, etc. are not covered in the
study.
Whaley said everyone is concerned about the future of the hospital,but has never heard anyone say
`sell the hospital'. She feels updates from the BHS Board to the Council would be helpful in
knowing what is going on,what the issues are. Need to look at all age groups,not just those of
retirement age. If stay focused on long-term, an age group is being xnissed.
Munsterman asked if there is a need for a second task force. Baxdey stated the long-term study has
a focus and doesn't want to change that midstream. However, this task force he envisions to be less
intensive;not entitled to make any decisions.
Roberta Olson, Chair of Strategic Pla.nxung Committee, stated they intend to continue with theit
internal work and will work with the Long-Term Health Care Study results when the study is
completed. Olson sees a high level of satisfaction of care at BHS and believes they are on track with
health care trends. She discouzages forming another task force.
Debra Johnston,BHS Board member, stated if maxirii?ing health care is being looked at, there are
opportunities for growth/expansion. The medical field is a constantly changing environment. Her
concern is asking people without a medical background to make decisions on where to go with
health care in the community. She sees this as asking another set of people to do what the BHS
Board has been charged with doing and is not the best use of resources.
Bardey questioned why the concern at looking at this. There are four new BHS Board members
who were not axound at the time the regional medical providers gave pxoposals a few years back.
He doesn't understand the downside of looking.
Brunnet expzessed his confusion of what is or isn't being looked at in the Long-Term Health Care
Study.
Reed clarified the proposals reviewed four or so years ago was a result of the Brookings Medical
Clinic being sold to Avera. That caused some concern as to what is going to happen to our hospital
asset. The BHS Board stepped up at that time and stated the best way to go forward was to stay
independent. The BHS Board has made good decisions in the past and sees no reason to not trust
in their decisions.
McClemans stated the council has been out of touch with the BHS Board when council members no
longer served as ex-officio members of the board. The council needs to be better informed. He is
not aga.inst nor for a task force, and is willing to forwaxd with the BHS Board's judgrnent.
Munsterman recommended a joint meeting of the BHS Board and the council to discuss and review
the BHS Board's strategic plan;where they have been,why they are where they are, and where do
30 �
they want to go. He is in favor of putting two council members on the BHS Board as ex-officio
members.
ACTION: A motion was made by Bardey, seconded by Whaley, to ditect the Ciry Manager to bring
a proposal for the task force for the Brookings Health System xeview. All members voted no,
except Bartley and Whaley voted yes;MOTION FAILED.
ACT'ION: A motion was made by Munsterman, seconded by Whaley, to set aside time for a joint
meeting of the City Council and the Brookings Hospital Board of Trustees to xeview and update on
their strategy. Whaley added a friendly amendment of ineeting every other month. All present
voted yes;motion passes.
Council Member Brunner requested a report from BEDC on the Long-Term Health Care Study and
what it is going to be looking at.
R�vised Restaurant Liquor O erating Agreement. Weldon stated the only amendment is on
page 5, Section XVIII of the opexating agreement. He recommended stri.king the entire first
sentence, and deleting the term`auditing' and inserting`reporting'in the second sentence. Bartley
and Reed agreed.
Bardey asked if Brunner found anything that defined the Point-of-Sale System. Brunner did not
find a clear definition, only reference to a computer-means for deter+,,;r,;,,g point-of-sa1e. He
doesn't think it matters what type of system,as long as it is electronic to allow for a firm xeporting
mechanism. Bartley stressed it must be a system that is able to be audited.
McClemans asked if those licenses will belong to the city and if they would be the same as an
operating agreement. Britzman stated it is uncertain if the state considered those licenses owned by
the city or the licensee, as the statute doesn't address that point. He feels these licenses would be
treated much the same as the curxent opetating agreements. McClemans asked if the license would
belong to the city. Weldon clarified they would.
ACTION: A motion was made by Whaley, seconded by Bartley,to remove the first sentence of
Section XVIII by recommendation of the City Manager.
Di.rcu.rrion: Reed.rtated he i.r.rtill.rtruggling on thi.r i.r.rue in r�gard.r to the 60/40 and.rtate requirement.r. He
.rugge.rted taking out `indu.rtry-.rtandard'and let the dicen.ree come srp�vith their own.rystem. The licen.ree know.r they
�vill be audited and if not re�iorting what they should, their licen.re could be pulled. Munsterman a.rked to r�view the
operating agreement one mo�time with edited change.r and bring back for fina!appmval at the next meeting.

Whaley voted yes;motion passes.
