Mavor's Annual State of the City Message. Mayor Scott D. Munsterman pxesented his annual
"State of the City Message" to the City Council and public.
"The City of Brookings is committed to providing a high quality of life fot its citizens,and fostering
a diverse economic base, through innovative thinking, strategic planning,and proactive, fiscally
responsible municipal management"
"2008 recorded another banner fiscal year for the City of Brookings. Our total governmental fund
revenues of$19,563,286 exceeded projections in our balanced budget of$19,145,228. During the
coutse of the year,we were presented with some purchases we could not avoid: the purchase of two
homes along the rail line at the 22nd Avenue intersection,land that became for sale within the new
proposed RPZ area at the airport and in addition,we paid off the in£rastructuxe costs for the new
industrial park.These expenditures totaled$903,935,which we were able to use the increases in our
sales tax over and above our budgeted amount, to pay for. Our ability to tackle these types of
projects financially is the result of our city's financial policy and the dedication of the city
administration to hold the line on expenses and increase efficiencies within each department.
Brookings is in a position of financial strength due to this teamwork, allowing us to make strategic
investrnents in the future.
Sales tax xeceipts increased 4.01%as compared to 15.42%in 2007. Our 3B taxes generated
$643,394 in 2008,holding relatively stable with a small decrease of$10,723 or-1.64% from 2007.
Our 1st and 2nd penny sales tax revenue and our 3rd B revenue for the first quarter of this yeax have
been up 2.79% from last year this time. In light of the recession and economic cycle we are in, I
have only one thing to say:"I'hank you.Thank you to the people of Brookings for shopping at home
and supporting their local economy.
Employment in Bxookings has remained strong as well. Brookings added 715 total employees in
2008,ranking us tied for second in total job growth in the state with Rapid City. Sioux Falls added
about 230 more total employees to the economy. Brookings also exported a number of jobs to
Sioux Falls via Daktronics and VeraSun, some which were relocated jobs and some which were jobs
we just could not accommodate due to labor shortages. We- for all practical purposes -are number
one in job generation for the state of South Dakota.The total number of employment opportunities
listed in SDWORKS, the Depaxtment of Labor's online job database today is 589,with a 2.2%
unemployment rate;the lowest in a state that ranks th�rd lowest in the nation.The unemployment
rate in the nation now is at 8.9% as of February.We can be grateful to our diversified economy and
the `yes we can' attitude we have cultivated in our community over the years.This attitude continues
to show through in our strategic planning ovex this past year.
On May 12th I will be swearing-in our new mayor,Tim Reed. I am excited to help kick off a new era
of leadership for Brookings.And I am looking forward to watching our success continue as we
move into our futuxe. Mayor-elect Tim Reed will provide a look ahead when he officially takes
office,but today I would like for us to celebrate a look back to see how far we have come over the
last 8 yeaxs:
Words do not express the pride and honor I have felt having been elected by qou to serve as your
mayor.You have elected me three times over the last 8 years. I do not take that for granted.We
have made significant progress together and hexe are some highlights:
We reformed the way we did business in the city and have a successful financial policy which has
brought Brookings to a position of financial strength.
33 �
We capitalized on the 3rd B tax (which now totals more than$6Q0,000 in 2008) and we put to work
some creative minds on the Brookings Visitor Promotion Board to help promote and bring more
people to Brookings for events and to shop.
We have created new energy in our retail maxket as evidenced by the expanded retail development
efforts with the addition of Lowes, the formation of TIF districts for further business and retail
development and the new developments occurring in the area of the University Mall. There is a new
enthusiasm for retail in Brookings!
We established South Dakota's first research park, the Innovation Campus,through a unique
paxtnership effort between the city, counry, SDSU,SDSU foundation and the business community
in Brookings.This will prove to be one of the best investments we will have made in the last 8 years
for the futuxe of the Brookings xegion. It will also pay dividends to the xest of the state as the 125
acre patk spins off research and technology businesses over the next several decades,providing high
paying jobs and opportunities fox our young fanvlies.
We developed a regional partnership with the smallex communities around Bxookings and have
embarked upon a larger regional colla.boration with communities along the I-29 corxidor, aligning
our resouxces within a regional growth strategq. In 2002, Senator porgan of ND brought UND and
NDSU togethet to build the Red River Research Corridor;and as a result have amassed in attracting
over$300 million in research dollars to the region.We will bring that type of success to the I-29
corridor and Brookings will be a key player in the game.Partnerships pay dividends.
We studied our housing market needs and this past year we saw action on that front. Housing
developments in a more`affordable' range have begun. SDSU is also in the planning process of
designing residential opportunities for their student population as they continue to gxow in
entollment.As a result,pressuxe for student housing will lessen in our family neighborhoods
improving the quality of life foY those neighborhoods from less density.
To help in our city planning needs,we hired our first community development director, to focus our
efforts more keenly in planning for the future and providing a unique interface between our public
and private sector as we continue to grow into the future.This will be a valuable investment for our
city.
� We championed efforts to bring people together as a team:public and private partnerships axe alive
and well and growing;impxoving our quality of life in Bxooki.ngs. Hillcrest Aquatic Center, the Boys
& Girls Club and the new downtown streetscape all came about through the collaboration of key
people in the community coming together to get the job done.The Children's Science Museum,in
my opinion,will tag Brookings as the `Wall Drug'of eastern South Dakota.People will come to
downtown Brookings.
We're about to start wellness programming into our paxk and rec system and through a unique
partnership with the SDSU wellness and health promotion students, oux community will have an
opportunity to be `coached'to health,providing these students with a purposeful internship
program and our citizens with the help they need to regain theix health.
We stepped forward together as a community and as a county, towards a long term solution to rail
safety in the region.11ztough the newly formed Brookings Regional Rail Safety Authority, the city,
county and othex interested communities or townships along the xail line can participate in the long
term planning of rail safety in the region.And we will come up with a long term solution over time.
Together.
We established a transportation board that will continue to monitor and assess the needs of our
mass transit system (BATA) and provide a valuable service to not only in-citq transportation but also
rural transit solutions for years to come.
Along those same lines,we have and are continuing to invest in more bicycle lanes and pedestrian
walkways for the growing number of people interested in the enjoyment of biking and walking.
We invested in out downtown streetscape and infrastructure and now we hope for the downtown
businesses to reinvest in their storefxonts like many have to make our downtown a truly historic and
authentic attraction.
331
Those of you at home are enjoying the televising of our council meetings. We made investments in
technology to bring government closer to the people and the success speaks for itself.
The Brookings xegion is gxowing and thriving. One can't help but get excited when you take a tour
around the community to see what is all going on. It didn't happen by accident. It took vision,
planning and good decisions to bring us to this point. It will continue to take these very same
components to carry us well into our future.
When you elected me in 2001,we had the daunting task of shoring up a long list of needed
improvements,we had a 20th century economic plan and a city budget that was losing money;
leaving us in a very poor financial position. Today, significant investments have been made in
restoring our city services,preparing our community and the region for a knowledge-based economy
and bringing the City of Bxookings to a position of fmancial strength. It wasn't easy making these
strategic moves,but we are in a good place now as a city because of the dedicated people,both
elected and administrative,who faced the challenges head on.
We have come to a point in time in our community where we must be prepaxed to make significant
long term investments: investments in our airport, railroad safety,water and sewer infrastructure for
new housing developments to name a few. We have set a strategic direction for investment in our
community for the next decade to lead us well into the 21 st century that Mayor-elect Reed will
addtess in the near future.
Brookings is known for its leadership xole in innovation and creativity across the state.We must
continue to forge ahead with new ideas and sensible decisions that will bring a higher quality of life.
As we grow,please keep in mind that your city leadership, from the city council to the volunteers
who serve on our city boards as well as our city staff, are dedicated to serving out the mission of the
city. A mission"committed to providing a high quality of life for its citizens, and fostering a diverse
economic base, through innovative thinking, strategic planning, and proactive, fiscally responsible
municipal management".
Please remember your elected officials and city staffs'motives and intentions ate noble. So,please
give them youx suppoxt.
Our mission (and let me emphasize out collective communitq mission) is committed to a common
cause, a common goal, and a common purpose. We can be proud of Brookings' successful formula
of Ieadership and teamwork. T'hank you for your support over the last 8 yeats. Thank you for your
committnent and dedication to our collective mission. Nothing worthwhile is ever accomplished
without challenges and nothing worthwhile is ever accomplished without the combination of vision
with courage. There is no doubt in my mind our better days are ahead. But it will continue to take a
culture of creativity and the understanding of the importance to always look for a better way to
address our challenges. Let's not rely on our past successes in out leadership or how we have done
things,but rather let's rely on refining our vision and xevising our plans together as we move ahead.
By working together,let's continue to make `significant'impacts on the lives of people in our
community and the surrounding xegion."
Scott Munsterman,Mayor,City of Brookings

amending Section 42-94 of the code of ordinances of the City of Brookings, South Dakota and
pertaining to the designation of a council member to attend meetings of the hospital board of
trustees in the City of Brookings,South Dakota.
Council Di.rcu.r.rion. Bartley noted that.rome Counczl memberr are in favor of thi.r ordinance becau.re they felt there
2va.r better communication and information provided back to the full Council. He ha.r revie�ved old council minute.r
and que.rtioned when that board information wa.r nported back to the full council� He.r�ecificadly r�fe�znced a motion
in tvhere all ex-o�'icio board re�iort.r be done during open council di.rcu.r.rian. He revierved old minute.r and couldn't find
any report.r He agreed that the level of reporting from the variou.r city manager.r ha.rgreatly varied;however, the
current manager prnvide,r r�orts in detail and the communication i.r better and he feels the Council i.r receiving the
information. Since the change ofgovernment in 1999 there have been a number of Council memberr�vho have.rerr�ed
and he cited.reveral who a�nowgone. He doe.rn't knou�if ther�i.r any continuity of information that come.r fi»m
Councid members.cerving a.r tiai.ron.r and feel.r it i.r more beneficial that the City Manager attend tho.re meetingr. A.r to
the que.rtion of why the Council svould have ex-o.,�'zcio.r at adl a.r far a.r the Chttrter is cnncerned, he zvould agree that the
Charter doe.rn't p�vent the Counci!from having ex-off'icios or liai.ron.r on city boards but it doe.rn't.ray it.rhould either.
He referred back to the original intent of the Charter a.r to thi.r form ofgovernment, and in hi.r opinion, it wa.r
ba.rically that the City Manager would take care of the a.cret.r of the community and the management of tbo.re a.r.ret.r to
a certain degree. The City ha.r a Ho.rpital Board that i.r in charge and management of tho.re a.r.ret.r admini,rtratively.
He'd prefer that tho.re reports come back to him fmm a party that�ad.r financial nport.r and i.r familiar for p�.renting
them to the Council. Often the information i.r old or e.rtimates If the information is important, he feel.r it.rhould be
r�ported back to the full council eqttally at the.rame time rather than rely on r�ort.r that the Council may notget any
other way. He i.r not.ruggerting that the Council.rend confidential informatinn among it.r memberrhip due to open
meeting.r lau�.r. He feel.r the cnmmunication fmm the city manager to the council rummaritiing svhat ave need to know to
hefp the Council make policy decirion.r i.r criticad. Referring back to the intent of the Charter, Council memberr ar�
here to.ret policy and that i.r what the Council.rhould be doing in governance. It.r intent i.r to let the city manager
handle tho.re matter.r as directed by policy and not individual member.r. Counci!members bave the abidity to attend any
meeting they ivant to. Back�vhen there zva.r an ordinance de.rignating ex-o�'icio council memberr the ordinance
.rtipulated one member but the Council appointed two. The pmpo.red ordinance now still.ray.r one member but the
Counci!intend.r to appoint trvo. The e.xplanation for tivo�va.r one wa.r the actual ex-o�'icio and the other wa.r in ca.re
the primary couldn't attend. The current ordinance.rtate.r the City Manager or hi.r/her de.rignee. If the Manager
couldn't attend in the pa.rt he'r a.r.rigned.rta�or reque.rt a council member to attend in hi.r place. Wle have pr�tty good
coverage right now. He's concerned that the ordinance i.r too `gray"and it.rhould clearly.rtate one or t�vo. He
underrtand.r there'r a denre to know more, but council membexr have the ability to attend on their otvn. He doe.rn't.ree
the need to change the ordinance becau.re he feel.r itgoe.r again.rt the Charter in thi.r form ofgovernment.
Mun.rterman,raid all the ex-o�icio rr�ort.r svere verbal and given at the end of the meeting ivith no,rtructure to the
re�iorting.
Munrterman a.rked for clarifzcation if the Counczl ajipointed one member a.r the ex-o�'tcio and one a.r an alternate.
He r�membered that.rometime.r one or both attended meeting.c. Brittiman raid tu�o wer�appointed.
Mun.rterman a.cked if the Counci!needs to change the number fmm one to two ex-o„�`'iczo.r. Brit.Vman saidye.t, but the
narmber i.r srp to the Council to decide.
Mun.rterman.raid having two took the pre.r.ru�o�of inember.r.co they didn't feed they had to make every meeting and it
.rplit the r�.rponsibilitie.r.
McClemans.raid fmm 2003 to 2005 he felt it gave Councid member.rome in.right into particular item.r, .rpecificaldy
nnting the Swifte!Center. The practice allow.r the Cnuncil member.r to be mor�informed. All thete gmups come to the
Counci!for budget.r or bonding. In the pa.ct, a number of individual.r fn varying po.rition.r have attended the.re meeting.r.
He feel,r the Counczl ha.r a n.rpon.ribility to knolv, under.rtand and at lea.rt be arvare of the tituatzon at Svvifte!Center,
Bmoking.r Municipal Utilitie.r and the Ho.rfiital. He noted that the recent discu.r�ton.r r�garding the Ho.rpital may
have been different had there been ex-o�'member.c In the ca.re of al!thr�e organitiation.r, all have huge prnject.r and
333
money a.r.rociated:vith each and a per.ron'.r under.rtanding i.r good acro.r.r the board. The City Manager can still attend.
W/ith re.rpect to continuity, he feel.r it i.r a good way for the Council to.rtay in touch and have an under.rtanding of it.r
bigge.rt a.r.ret.r. He under.rtand.r Bartley'.r thought.r about Charter;however, mo.rt communitie.r don't have the va.rt
variety of.rervice.r, bu�ine.r.re.r and a.rret.r(i.e. liquor.rto�z, ho.rpital, landfill, telephone, utilitie.r). Many city manager.r
don't have that va,ct of a backgrnund. He feel.r underrtanding and doing what i.r bert for the czty i.r the�a.ron he suill
vote for this ordinance change.
Keed a.rked the ordinance could.rtate "up to 2 member.r may be de.rignated." Brit�rran.raid that would require
.reparate action to appoint the memberc by motion. That would be acceptable and svould leave it u�i to Council whether
or not to make appointment.r. He.rugge.rted the following language: `No more than two memberr of the City Council
may be appointed by the mayor svith the advice of the Council ta.rerUe...':"

Brit�an.raid the Council could consider additiona!language statin� `7n the event the mayor doe.r not ap�ioint a
council member or member.r to.rerye or attend, the city manager shall attend meeting.r of the ho.rpital board."

Keed said he appreciate.r that the Counci!ha.r the ability to ju.rt de�ignate the city manager and a,c the neu�Council
.rtart.r after the election, it'r a di.rcu.c�ion that the grnup can have a.r appointment.r are being made and can give the new
member.r a chance to have a voice at that time about how the Council.rhould go forward.
Weldon.raid thi.r i.r a little d�erent than the Utility Board and the Ho.rpital Board. Thi.r irn't the old Multiplex
Board�vhich did have operating authority. The Swiftel Center Board i.r advi.rory in nature and their authority i.r much
more limited and narroiv in.rcope. Unlike the Ho.rpital and Utilitie.r, the Swiftel Center i.r managed by a department
head that i.r part of hi.r Leader.rhip Team, .ro he.rupervi.re.r the actiuitie.r of the S�riftel Center. For.rake of con.ri.rtency,
if there i.rgoing to be an ex-o�"zcio relation.rhip with Councll memberr, to be con�irtent, we will need to al.ro look at that
.rame thing for the Library Board,Airport Board, and Park and Kecreation Board. Tho.re are advi.rory board.r and
all have respnn.rible.rtaff people that svork directly for him. Ju.rt like the Ssviftel Center, tho.re department head.r ar�
charged with managing capital as.ret.r and facilitie.r. He.ree.r a.rignificant d�erence urith thi.rgrosrp and ba.red on that
he a.rked the Council to defeat the ordinance.
Reed a.rked if the manager of the Suriftel Center report.r directly to the czty manager. He'r not an employee of the city�
Weldon.raid he doe.r repnrt directly to him, but i.r not a czty employee. The City has a performance contract�vith
VenuWork.r and he i.r employed by that company. He ha.r the same r�lation.rhip a.r the other department headr and
attend.r the rveekly.rtaff meeting.r and come.r to the city manager on a rvide variety of i.r.cue.r including deci.rion.c on
management i.r.rue.c The City Manager manage.r the contract for the Swiftel Center.
Whaley noted that the Center ha.r been changed to an enterpri.re fund and feel.r the city manager ha.r done a great job
with the S�vifte!Center and doe.rn't feel the Council need.r to.rtep in.
Beed a.cked urith the idea of an expanrzon, would the appointment of ex-o�'acio.r help communication flow or is everyone
comfortable tvith the city manager r�porting back? Whaley.raid.rhe felt everyone know.r�vhat i.rgoing on with the
e.x�ian�ion and thatgroup n�il!have to come back to the Council for the fund.r.
W>eldon.raid there ha.rn't been a di.rcu.r.rion on how to.rtructur�the prnce.r.r on the e.�cpan.rion, but wosrld a.rtume the
advi.rory board would play an important role in working with the city council clo.rely on the natu�and reope of an
e.�anded facility. Tlenurvork.r would not be driving a conrtruction pri�ject. Theirjob i.r to managt the.current facility.
Managing a capital impmvement like an ex�an.non u�ould fald to the city manager:
On the amendment,all pxesent voted yes,except Bartley voted no,motion carried on the
amendment.
Di.rcus.rion: Keed.raid thi.r i.r.romething that the Council will continue to revlew a.r itgoe,r forward. The ordinance
doe.rgive the Council the option to not execute it a.r the new counczl. A.r the Council move,r fonvard, the relation.rhip
betu�een the City Manager and Srviiftel Center Manager would ttidl continue and a.r neiv council memberr come on,
ther�can be a di.rcu.rrzon on what they'd like to do.
Bartley rai.red the point about the city manager being de.rignated to attend as well.
Reed.raid we have an intere.rting�ituation with the Suriftel Center manager being part of the leaderrhip team but not
being a city employee. If that manager wa.r under tbe dir�ct punriem nf the czty manager for hirin�firrng and giving
direction, thi.c would be a d�e�nt.rituation a.r a Yull'city department. That'r the crux of the i.r.rue.
Weldon clarified that all the Swifte!Center employee.r are emjiloyed by VenuWork.r and nn the City. The City'r only
contractua!aarthority i.r to r�lea.re VenuWork.r fmm the contract and the Advisory Board,ret.r that contract.
W/eldon said he wa.rn't herr�vhen the la.rt contract wa.r r�newed, but pr�.rumably the mle of the Advisory Board u�ould
be to tvork with the City Manger to�view the Contract to.ree fn their advice if it'r in the be.rt intere.rt of the
operationr. It'.r hi.r job to bnng rrcommendation.r to the full city corrncil on the contract with advice and review of the
Swiftel.Advi.rory Board.
Brunner.raid he�vould.rs�port the motion. He agrees that the S�vivi fte!Center i.r a d�erent animal from the Ho,rpital
and Utility Board.r, but tbi.r ordinance give.r next Council a chance to decide whether or not want to appoint someone.
He would encourage the next counci!to look at tho.re option.r. He'.r not sure if we need a Council member on thi.r
board becau.re the city manager doer have that guari-department head deved r�lation.rhip�vith the Srviftel Center

Beed arked the crty manager if the wording.rhould be changed that would give the manager the ability to attend or not

TABLE: A motion was made by McClemans, seconded by Brunner, to table. All present voted yes;
motion carried.
Resolution No. 29-09—Leasing Pro�erty to BATA. The City of Brookings owns parcels in the
Telkamp Industrial Park and the Weise Business Park. Brookings Area Transit Authority (BATA)
was presented with an opportunity to access stimulus funds for the construction of a new transit
facility. BATA seeks to enter into a land lease agreement with the City of Bxookings to construct a
new facility on the following real property: A portion of the designated farinland in the Brookings
Wiese Addition,in Section 30,T110N,R49W or Lots 8 and 12,Block 1 of the Telkamp Industrial
Addition,in the City of Brookings,Brookings Counry,South Dakota. This agenda item is a public
hearing for a pxoposed lease that would apply to either described real propexty listed. This
resolution would allow the City to enter into a lease agreement with Brookings Atea Transit
Authority for the amount of$1.00,renewable annually. It was noted that the BEDC board of
directors met on April 1 and passed a motion to oppose the use of land at the Weise Business Paxk
for a new BATA facility. Also noted, the City Manager's recommendation was in the absence of the
BATA master plan, spaces needs analysis, and operating projection, to recommend not approving a
lease for either site.
Brenda Schweitzer,BATA Executive Director,worked with the County Commission eaxlier in the
day on an agxeement inwhere BATA is foregoing all match funding in current project. The cuxtent
agreement did include some cash and inkind funding apart from the County. In our agxeement,
BATA had that to work with. BATA also understood those funds would or could be put forward to
new building. Without those funds,it creates entire other challenge.
With respect to the two proposed sites under consideration now,in working with the state on what
is being proposed ($1 million at 100%and 800K at 80%) leaves $160,000 in match funding that
BATA would need to find to make this project work. T'he leasing of land could be used towards
this match of$160,000. With the shortcoming from County and the Telkamp land not generating
the level of match, noting the other land may no longer be in consideration,BATA is challenged in
being able to afford this as well as woxk with the operating expenses.
This is a great oppoxtunity for BATA. It's been their position to look at the community, to serve
and do the best job they can. The collaboration efforts that have been developed have been
significant. Your opinions and expertise respected. BATA wants to use any available funds to best
of their ability as well as the community. As hard as they have worked to do this, the answers keep
coming back to location as well as match. The Telkamp site does offer the challenges of being
landlocked. BATA is sitting in a situation that their"time"is basically up (for the funding
opportunity). The positives axe that the last few months have genexated some great discussion on
transit both locally and within the county. She wants to stress that BATA wants to be seen as a
partner in transit, not as a headstrong group moving forward without a plan or the support. The
County has wotked extensively to take the fixst step in making this project possible. BATA couldn't
be at the table tonight without their work. We understand the County's position and appreciate the
work that was done.
At this point she is challenged to go further and the Council's comments on how to move forward
would be greatly appreciated. She is challenged with a match situation where it's at as well as being
landlocked. BATA is not pxepared to go forwaxd at this time with curxent funding opporiunities
and without further support. One of oux challenges here is there are tough economic times and
future is cloudy. We need to recognize the burdens of local match providers and woxk with them.
BATA takes all of these issues and positions into pexspective as to where the city and county stand
with local match. The BATA Board has been trying to work diligendy at its business plan,but that
has not come through like the City had xequested. Not that BATA doesn't have vision and goals,
but the City has been looking for that too. As the Mayor sa.id in speech, "vision with courage,"and
we've defuutely had vision with courage and what we need to do is find a better way to address our
challenges. She asked the Council for guidance and ideas.
Weldon asked even with the Telkamp property, the match arrangement with state doesn't work?
Schweitzer said BATA would have to ftnd approximately$160,000 in match. The value of that land
is unknown and she would need to know exacdy what the value is.
33 �
Weldon said he didn't know what the value of the 1.71 acres is and questioned if the state would
require an appra.isal or if they would look at the assessed value even though it is tax exempt.
Schweitzer said the State looks at comparable sales in the axea to determine value.
Schweitzer said also under consideration is the land locked situation. BATA's vision of where we
want to be,what we want to do and how we want to accomplish this -- they've had some pretty
grand visions. When this funding opportunity was presented,not all of their"ducks where in a
row" and no one has professed that. Statewide, this is an issue. From there,BATA doesn't want to
burn any bridges with community or local match efforts and they want to do best job possible.
This issue has opened up good communication and possibly BATA needs to work with the
Transportation Board futther and the City,County and Univexsity and create a plan together for a
transit center. This plan has been BATA's vision. The stimulus has put it in overdrive causing
excitement and heaxtburn. Working with the stimulus funding is a challenge. When you have a
project such as theirs,you have to have everything lined up just right to make work. She remains
open to thoughts and ideas from the City Council.
Weldon said he didn't think the last time the Council had this discussion we knew what the match
requirement would be and asked if this was a new development. Schweitzer noted that she was
notified of this match requirement at 3:30 p.m.priox to this meeting. She agreed that this puts all
affected in a difficult situation. Match is monumental. They are in a position that if they want to
operate a business,they need to not have overhead of match in order to operate.
Weldon noted that the match is a dollar representation of the value of the land in the form of lease.
How does that effect the operation? Schweitzer said BATA would need to have the value of that
land be at least$160,000 in order to have this funded at the 100%and the second obstacle remains
the location. As the Counry Corrunission has said from day one,if it's not right, do we do this? She
hates to forego stimulus funding,but what's in oux community's best interests? This isn't just a
BATA project,it is a community project.
It was clarified by Weldon that the Telkamp property is 1.7 acres and the Wiese property can be
whatever the Council wants it to be because it isn't parceled out yet.
McClemans suggested for value to use the city policy on industrial la.nd at$1.00 per square foot,
making the Telkamp property approximately$130,680.
Weldon asked if the value is in excess of�160,000 and the City Council decides to lease it,does that
solve BATA's match problem. Schweitzer said the situation with one paxcel farthex to the north
quite honesdy doesn't work. She doesn't want to put a square peg in a round hole and doesn't want
to take it just to take it. If it were adjouung there would be a gready possibility that it would work.
Bartley commented that the State may not want to look at two separate pieces of property.
Schweitzer said Bruce Lindholm,State DOT,has questioned what the value of that would be to
BATA.
Bartley said he appreciates BATA's interest in trying to make use of the stimulus money. He feels
bad that this has put BATA in a difficult position in trying to put this together. He said`bad
government'is government that takes too long to act and it's also bad government when it acts
hastily. Right now there are too many unanswered questions and BATA is feeling the pressure of
that as the various local governments bombard with questions and then the local stimulus money
changes the rules. It just isn't going to work this time axound. He asked if a second round of
stimulus funding that would include transportation funds that would come out next year.
Schweitzer said there is a possibility,but according to SDDOT it depends on what the economy is
doing at the time and if they relea.se another stimulus.
Bartley said it seems judicious to take what you've leamed£tom this and well as the Council and put
a plan together and hope that additional funding comes to fruition. He said there have been many
things that have worked against BATA on this project and he isn't faulting Schweitzer or BATA.
It's just the situation is untenable for all us to try to make a decision. Schweitzer said it has been a
challenge and it has been something that BATA have leamed monumental things from and she
totally respects where the City and County have been in supporting the project. BATA is ttying to
do something very beneficial to the community. She believes in it and it's going to happen.
33 ?
Brunner asked if it w s the state or Federal government that changed the rules. Schweitzer said they
didn't change rules, ut to get anything in writing from state or Federals is very difficult. When push
came to shove all da today, this is what came out. What the State is doing is taking theix stimulus
funds working them ogether statewide. They are trying to cover much of the state in transportation
enhancement in vehi les and propetty. We are very fortunate in that thexe are several states axe
tutning this money b ck.
Reed thanked Schwe tzer for the work that was put in to get this done. Also, everyone needs to
realize that BATA h s been working towards a vision—it may not be exacdy where we want it
today,but all parts ar sta.rting to come togethe� (BATA, SDSU, City, County, and Transportation
Board). Over time e will need something different. How we pay for it,we'll have to take look at it
at that time. But we on't want to make a bad decision now just thxowing money to get money
when it could be the rong decision for the future.
Schweitzer said with e economy where it's at and BATA does rely on match,BATA can not
jeopaxdize what mat they have with the economy the way it is. BATA is not going away. It's
going to be a big cha enge and BATA may be asking for garaging facilities.
Brunner thanked Sc eitzer for all of her work. He's watched BATA grow over the last seven
years. Public transp tation is defuutely is something the City needs to look to future growth of the
community. If we c figure out something in the second or third round of funds or even later,if
we can figure it out s metime in the future, this is something the City needs to make as a priority as
to strategic vision an planning to help match BATA's planning and vision.
