A motion was made by Reed, seconded by Bozied,to enter executive session at 3:00 p.m. with all members of the council and city manager present for the purpose of the city manager's annual performance review. All present voted yes; motion carried. A motion was made by Roden, seconded Whaley, to leave executive session at 5:30 p.m. All present voted yes; motion carried. Planning Session. The Brookings City Council held a planning meeting on Tuesday, Apri15, 2005,at 5:30 p.m.,at City Hall with the following members present: Mayor Scott Munsterman, Council Members Tom Bezdichek, Tom Bozied,Tim Reed,Julie Whaley, Doris Roden, and Mike McClemans. City Manager Alan Lanning, City Attorney Steve Britzman, and City Clerk Shari Thornes were also present. Mavoral Proclamation. The Mayor proclaimed Apri12005 as"Child Abuse Prevention Month." Bovs and Girls Club. The Council reviewed a draft lease agreement prepared by the City Attorney. In order to lease public land to a private individual, a legal notice and public hearing is required. The public hearing is scheduled for April 19`�. The question was raised about giving verses leasing the land. City Manager Lanning reiterated his position that he is opposed to giving land away. This agreement will encumber the land for a long period of time. But things change, and the city may want the land back at some point. The City has invested$75,000 in the land,half for the purchase price and half for street improvement costs. It was noted that a current commercial value would be useful for any grant applications. . There was Council consensus to proceed with the public hearing and action on April 19�'. SDSU Housin$Report. Mayor Munsterman reported that a subcommittee of Council members, SDSU officials and city staff have met over the last 6 months trying to determine future SDSU and community housing needs and other challenges. The Mayor highlighted the following report: 1. Facts about SDSU Student Housing ■ Demographics declining in the state's high school graduation rate are predicted to be approximately 5%per year for the next 5 years. ■ Retention of students is key for SDSU future student enrollment. ■ Build-out in 1996 is keeping up with today's capacity needs. ■ Review history of on and off campus housing build out. ■ 3,700 total rental units available in Brookings. ■ SDSU is completing a 300 bed residence hall on campus. This will probably be the last hall the University will build for 10 years. With the addition of this hall,the University will be able to provide approximately 190 more spaces for upper class (junior and senior) students then currently provided. 2. SDSU Wish List: SDSU officials relayed to us their desire in a few areas regarding student housing and the ability to create a quality learning environment for their students. ■ No more apartments east of 22nd (blue apartments): Concentration of students is around 400—not conducive to studying ■ Would like a 3-4 block buffer zone with no apartments around SDSU campus. When apartments are located adjacent to campus,this proximity creates a convenient social environment that can lead to inappropriate behavior. ■ Would like to see Greek community in one area. In most University communities,the Greek chapter housing are located together to define Greek Life for the campus. T'his provides a sense of community for these organizations. ■ Retail opportunities: small retail mall catering to SDSU students. Possibly in the Village Square area,would be close for students to access. 349 3. How tough should the city be on enforcement issues? • SDSU wants good environment for good student behaviors, so enforcement is important • SDSU is willing to partner with the city on educating students 4. Determined capacity flow ■ Freshman+transfers +returning undergraduates—graduates =net increase or decrease in campus undergraduate enrollment. This is the formula by which we will be able to estimate the amount of increase in off campus student housing that will be required to meet the demand. Juniors and Seniors move off campus for housing, and as SDSU's retention climbs—more student housing may be needed in the future; solely dependent upon the admission and retention rate. ■ Three year trend analysis to monitor student population in off campus housing. The three-year future trend analysis is a forecasting tool, allowing us to determine the need for off campus housing—based upon the freshman enrollment and retention of the upper class (Juniors and Seniors). 5. Policy consideration ■ Density criteria- Citizens in neighborhoods often complain about the density of students housed off campus. More and more homes in neighborhoods are being purchased from out of town parents and students are moving in,bringing student life to the neighborhoods and increased parking pressure, student night-life, etc. Please note that SDSU has a two year live on requirement for traditional age students so these parents are buying property for upper class students. ■ Classifications (grandfathering done) ■ Parking specification- `Look for tools'; In the quest to find a solution to the balance between good student learning/housing environments and maintaining quality neighborhoods, new ideas or tools for rezoning may be necessary. ■ Quality of Life neighborhood issue: o Brookings citizens axe speaking out more now than ever before about the decrease in the quality of their neighborhoods; do to the sale of several properties over time to landlords. o Instances of student housing in violation of regulations has been documented and possibly drives some sales of homes to off campus housing—are realtors telling their clients bout the boarding house and two family dwelling occupancy rules? ■ SDSU thinks spreading the students out among the city is best, no concentration. The higher the concentration of students in an area, the lower the quality environment for learning. Marysz Rames, Vice President for Student Affairs, and Douglas Wermedal, Assistant Dean of Student Affairs, responded to questions. They said high school enrollment isn't just declining in South Dakota, it is regional. Minnesota is the only regional state with increases. Rames said SDSU will continue to work hard at retaining and growing the university. They are looking at housing needs with their increasing enrollment. Some halls have become sophomore living and others have been returned to upper class students. A huge class just moved into the city and we (city and university)were able to accommoda.te those students. Roden asked if the city will experience a surplus of apartments due to declining enrollments. Rames said SDSU hopes to maintain current enrollment levels. Roden asked why the land near the AGR hasn't been developed for the Greek organizations. Rames said there is state law that mandates the way the land is leased, which has been an obstacle to any Greek organization obtaining financing to build. They are continuing to work on this issue. Roden asked if the enforcement in the buffer zone was on behavior or housing. She said sometimes there are zoning/l2ousing issues with too many students in one house or a fraternity builds in the wrong place. Rames said the University is willing to work with students about being good neighbors. Any way to increase infortnation and education for the students would be helpful. Roden said there is a third partner in this issue. Landlords are an important part and we need to educate them. Students take the lead from their landlords. � K 35Q Roden asked for a breakdown on SDSU's statewide enrollment numbers. Munsterman commented that all council members have fielded density complaints about student neighbors. More discussion and understanding about this issue is needed. Is there anything the Council needs to act on to change density in the neighborhoods we have? Roden commented that we want to encourage neighborhoods to interact with the students. Establishing relationships will raise the comfort level of community members and students may think twice about inappropriate behavior. The City should seek ways to encourage bringing students and neighbors together. Reed asked when the number of unrelated people in a boardinghouse changed. One year ago. Roden commented that she thought a 3 to 4 block buffer is important. � Pat Fishback,Brookings Historic Preservation Commission Chairman, asked how many students SDSU could house on campus. Wermedal said 3,500. Mark Kelsey, BHPC member and University District landlord, asked if the real issue was density of people or cars. The majority of complaints would be cars. Can the University look at not allowing freshman to bring vehicles? Some universities have that requirement. Or,could a special parking lot be provided for those students? His experience in renting has been that 3 students need parking for 5 cars. Kelsey also said many landlords take really good care of their property but some do not. Another issue the City should look at is the standards on how those properties look. Reed praised Kelsey for what he as done as a landlord. He agreed that landlords need to be talking to their student tenants. Ryan Brunner, SDSU Student Association President, agreed that communication with the landlord is key. He clarified that all freshman are required to live on campus. And,for most freshmen,being without a car would be impossible. Reed said the area near the university experiences overflow parking from the campus. Dan Hanson, Planning and Zoning Administrator, said university area was designed in a grid system with a much larger percentage of land for the street right-of-way. In many cases,parking was permitted on both sides. New parts of the city are not in a grid system. He doesn't see the city getting away from restricted one-side parking. He agreed that many complaints are based on what neighbors see on the street rather than the number living in the house. However,Brookings has a very strict parking regulation. The university neighborhood was 90% developed before zoning was implemented. If the city were able to make properties conform to current standards, we wouldn't have a problem. This is an issue for most cities with universities. "Preserve America". Shari Thornes, Brookings City Clerk, reported that the City had been contacted by the State Historic Preservation Office in Pierre requesting the support from the city to pursue an official designation for Brookings as a Preserve America Community. Preserve America recognizes communities that protect and celebrate their heritage; use their historic assets for economic development and community revitalization; and encourage people to experience and appreciate local historic resources through education and heritage tourism programs. Brookings meets the program criteria for designation. No other communities in SD have applied or been designated. The City Clerk and Brookings Historic Preservation Commission are both in support of this nomination. The State Office has offered to prepare the entire nomination packet; however, it must be submitted by the Mayor's Office. In addition a narrative, letters of support, and picture,the nomination also requires a Resolution of Support from the governing body. There was Council consensus to proceed with the application process and action to approve a resolution on April 19th Citv Manager Contract & Compensation. A motion was made by Munsterman, seconded by Bozied, to approve a 5% salary increase, a$4,000 cash bonus, and an additional two weeks of vacation for Alan Lanning, Brookings City Manager. All present voted yes; motion carried. 35I Resolution No. 27-OS—Fire Truck Financin�. A motion was made by Roden, seconded by Whaley, to approve Resoiution No. 27-05, a Resolution authorizing the City Manager to sign the purchase agreement of Fire Trucks and the necessary financial documents from First Bank and Trust. Discussion: Reed noted that the city's financial position has increased from last year. Would it be better to pay cash Lanning said the city has other underdetermined needs at this time that may include the aquatic center, streetscape project and a number of other issues. It is prudent to purchase the trucks w�th the leasing method and save the cash to meet many other needs. This method is also better enable the city to withstand an emergency. Bozied asked if the city has the option of paying it off in 2 years without penalty. Yes. Reed expressed concern about the financing bid process. Lanning clarifaed that proposals were solicited and S were received. He and the Fire Chief reviewed the proposals and selected the one that best met the needs of the city—First Bank and Trust. They could meet the city's tight deadlines, a good interest rate and terms and local. Reed said because we are incurring debt the process should be more transparent. He didn't feel the Council was provided with enough information to understand if the process was fair. Bezdichek asked Reed how he would like to have seen the process. Reed wanted the complete list of proposals and terms. The citizens should be able to see that information. Lanning said there were 4 local and one within the state. They evaluated the proposals and chose the one that met the city's requirements. They were prepared to sign the documents two weeks ago. On the motion; all present voted yes, except Reed voted no,motion carried.

This resolution is effective upon passage. Land and Water Conservation Federal Matchin�Funds. Allyn Frerichs said the city has an opportunity to apply for Land and Water Conservation(LAWCON) Federal Matching Funds for development of Moriarty Neighborhood Park and Playground. The City was notified a little over three weeks ago by the S.D. Dept. of Game, Fish&Parks that$750,000 of Federal Land and Water Conservation Funds are available for local projects in South Dakota this year. The grants are distributed on a 50%matching basis,up to a maximum of$50,000 per project, for eligible park and recreation facility development by municipalities. Completed applications are due by Apri122"d, and will then be rated following special criteria that have been formulated by the state in a document entitled SCORP (State Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan). This plan prioritizes needs within the state. Neighborhood parks and playgrounds are identified as a priority need in new residential areas of growing communities. Over the past 35 years, LAWCON money has been a major source of funds for some of our bigger projects, including Dwiggins-Medary Park and Bob Shelden field, EdgeBrook Golf Course, Larson Park, Medary School Playground, SouthBrook Diamonds and Camelot Park. The Park and Recreation Board and staff have been delegated the responsibility of developing a more detailed criteria and process of determining future needs for parks as new residential areas are platted, for review by the Planning Commission and City Council. The updated guidelines would address current trends, changes in demographics, changes in recreation and leisure activities, as well as methods for ensuring the set-aside or acquisition of property. Our goal is to have a report completed within 6-9 months,before the end of 2005. It is the opinion of the Park and Recreation Board and staff that an effort should be made to obtain LAWCON funding for the Moriarty Park Development,with a high probability of being able to receive most or all of the $50,000 allowable for a single project. The fast pace of home building in this area would justify completion at the earliest possible date. Estimated construction costs to provide the full range of neighborhood park facilities is from $150,000 to $170,000. Parks and Recreation would propose that the Council approve making application for the maximum amount of matching LAWCON funds, with local funding to come from two sources: City funds and private donations. Frerichs proposed the city submit an application using a combination of city funds,but not second penny, and private donations. There was consensus to proceed. Action on a resolution is scheduled for April 19�`. Ends Policv Review. Dr. Bob Burns, Dean and Head of SDSU Political Science,Philosophy and Religion Department, was present to discuss the roles of the mayor, council and city manager in the city's new form of government. Under the Commission form and without a home rule charter, each commissioner had direct line responsibilities over different departments. Citizens became accustomed to approaching commissioners with issues. The city was limited to those powers properly delegated by state statute and which were reasonably implied. Things changed greatly in 1999 when the city adopted a weak mayor/council/city manager form of government with a home rule charter. Everyone had to become acquainted with new ways of doing things. Under the administration of the city manager, it is not the prerogative of the Council to be directly involved. Members coming onto the Council had to go through a learning process to understand everyone's responsibilities. The"weak"mayor in this form has certain prerogatives,but is one among equals. The Mayor doesn't not have the institutional powers associated with the strong mayor form(i.e. budget, operational,personnel). 354 Bumpy roads are to be expected. Potential points of conflict in city government are to be expected. He cited several scenarios. However, evidence of conflict is not evidence of failure of what we axe doing. Conflict must be a given and anticipated in the governance of the city. This is not a failure with our new form of government. However, conflict can also be very trying in the professional model form of government. As we see what is going on with Sioux Falls and their experiment with the"strong"mayor form of government, the more political form (i.e. Sioux Falls) is better structured to address conflict. Burns recently met with the Mayor and City Manager to gain some understanding about the delineation of responsibilities. 1) Policy adoption. They discussed policy adoption as the prerogative of the Council. This is a place where elected members of Council are to be a part of defining local issues and challenges. It is the proper role of Mayor and Council, once the agenda is set,to engage in the formulation of municipal policy proposals and adopt one proposal over others. 2) Policv im�lementation. Once adopted, it is the responsibility of the City Manager to carry out policy. There are different sub steps of policy implementation that invite disagreement between hired a professional manager and elected lay members of the Council. A. Interpretation. The first difficult step is to lend interpretation to the policy that is already adopted. That may not be perfectly clear. It is the place of the City Manager to lend that interpretation. The way he/she interprets may not squaxe with the Council's understanding,thereby creating potential conflict that must be resolved. If the City Manager's interpretation is at odds with the Council, it is the Council's prerogative to state the policy more clearly. B. Organization and Allocation of Resources. The second step for the Manager is the organiza.tion and allocation of resources of our municipality to carry out and implement that policy. The manner in which the City Manager allocates and organizes might not be the same as the Council envisioned, but this is the obvious prerogative of the Manager. He is hired to allocate the appropriate resources to implement policy, and the Council and weak mayor must step back. This is the person that has been hired to organize and allocate the city's resources. This is where professionalism is very important. If a decision is very unsuccessful resulting in a failure to implement a policy,there could be basis for review and appropriate action for bad decision making and organization. C. Final Delivery of Service. In this third step, our municipal employees must provide for final delivery of service. In most cases, our city employees will do in a quality manner. However, some citizens may be unhappy. But that would be an issue to be addressed by the City Manager and not by elected members of the City Council. (Lanning left at 7:10 p.m.) In response to a question from the Mayor, Burns clarified that the Mayor's role in this form of government is no more important than other council members. However, Mayor Munsterman is a very active"weak"mayor spending more energy and time that what is expected of that position. But his institutional powers are still no greater than if he had been an inactive weak mayor. His activeness should not be not interpreted as usurpation of power. Reed asked where the administrative line is. As more power or the line shifts toward the Manager being able to do more, does that cross a line to closed government? Burns said this is the major difference between professional and political model. The political form of government has more direct political accountability to the public and less direct political accountability in professional model. The professional model of city government has borrowed characteristics of private sector, some of which include less transparency. But,the city is expected to conduct their meetings in the open as opposed to a private corporation. The political model in Sioux Falls has more direct political accountability than Brookings. Their Mayor is doing what our hired City Manager is supposed to do. If citizens of Brookings are unhappy they can't hold the Manager directly and politically accountable. He reports to the council and has an expectation of fair and due process. 35 � Bezdichek asked if our form was closer to the school board,president, and administrator model. Yes,there are parallels to the way we govern our school districts. Bezdichek noted that with our mayor taking a very active role and dedicating hours of behind the scenes work,the old adage, "if you build it, they will come,"may happen. Meaning, it becomes difficult to identify where you take over powers, difficult to then separate what is administrative and what is mayor. Burns said that would depend on the quality of the individual. A quality individual would dedicate their activities towards the promotion of the community. A less than quality person may seek self advancement. Roden said citizens don't always see what is going on. Is there a transparency issue about how the Council works together? In particular, is working in smaller groups to research issues appropriate? Legislative bodies have the ability to break down into smaller groups. There are laws about executive sessions and decision making outside the formal meetings. Burns said this is an issue that the Council will continue to struggle with and develop procedures and practices, but will never fully resolve. Munsterman said all the members have different experiences how they react or interact with current manager. Burns said each group and new manager has different dynamics. Individuals can be very different. There is no one perfect model of effectiveness as an elected Council or hired Manager. Different characteristics contribute to success. We invite trouble if we are looking for ideal characteristics in a Council or Manager. Reed noted that a school board elects their own leadership. In our case we have an election for mayor. By being elected separately is there a perception that the Mayor is meant to lead the council? Burns said there is an expectation that that the Mayor will preside and take initiative. Bezdichek noted that avoidance of administration by the Council is heavily emphasized in the Charter and state statutes. Should the Council try to administer at a11? Burns said the Council sets policy and the Manager administers. It's in the sub steps that disagreement about interpretation occurs. But the Council must back away during the Manager's allocation of resources. This is not the Council's place to challenge decisions of the organization. The Manager will certainly prefer one policy over another. However, City Manager politicking could lead to growing distrust between Council and Manager, leading to a breakdown of an earlier good working relationship and can endanger position of the Manager. Roden asked how the Council can monitor themselves. Does the Manager or Attorney have a responsibility to do that? Burns said the better you understand what your place is the better you can stay within your parameters. If we never make an effort to learn what our legal role is,the more likely we are to wander outside the boundaries. Burns said the Manager exercises some discretion as he interprets, allocates, and delivers the fmal product. Roden said the Council currently has members serving as liaisons to boazds. Burns said use of ex-officios or liaisons can improve communication and is appropriate as long as they understand their"place" is to gather information and report back to the full group. It's when ex-officio might start to behave as a regular member of the board and try to control the agenda. That would be a problem that needs to be addressed and resolved. The Council requested Ends Policy Review to occur annually in May after elections. This item as scheduled for further discussion at the May 2005 planning session. Resolution No. 29-OS—Growth Partnership. A motion was made by Munsterman, seconded by Reed,to approve Resolution No. 29-05, a commitment of Funds for Growth Partnership Study. All present voted yes; motion carried. �RESOLUTION NO.29-OS WHEREAS,the City has previously agreed to commit$50,000.00 in 2005 for the purpose of hiring the consultant for the Growth Partnership Study,with the commitment of said funds contingent upon the availability of matching funds;and 356 WHEREAS,it has been determined that matching funds are available and the City now desires to pay the sum of$50,000.00 to the SDSU Growth Partnership toward the hiring of a consultant for the Growth Partnership Study.
