Discussion:
Alan Lanning, City Manager, advised against granting reduced fees for any groups or agencies.
Duane Barnes, ICAP representative, said their housing program is locked in at an $80,000
mortgage which is di�cult to achieve with lot prices and construction costs. They have built 36
houses in last 9 years and plan to build 11 more this summer. A $300 increase in building fees
may make the difference whether they can do a project or not. Their budget is extremely tight
and is governed by Housing& Urban Development requirements. �
The Mayor suggesting a policy exempting them from building fees.
Roden said the City needs to make a concerted effort to attract people to Brookings and that
includes providing affordable housing options.
Bezdichek recommended legislative changes to assist future affordable housing owners by
lessening the property taxes. Who controls the refunding of property tax? The City Attorney
said he has never seen a city establish a property tax rebate program. Reed suggested the city �
could purchase lots for affordable housing rather than individuals receiving rebates. .

Manager to look into what might be a more appropriate fee structure for those homes built by
non-profit organizations. All present voted yes; except Reed voted no; motion carried to table.

Citv Manager's Report. Lanning reported that the Brookings Area Transportation Association
(BATA)will not be able to provide taxi service in Brookings as originally thought. The City
contracted with Don Behrend to extend his service through July 2005 with plans of turning it
over to BATA at that time. Lanning said the city must now identify the citizen's transportation
needs. He reported that Donna Hess, SDSU,has agreed to have her class conduct a
transportation survey in the 2005 fall semester with a December 2005 completion date. He noted
that Council action will be required to extend the taxi service funding for the remainder of 2005.
He anticipates the 2006 funding to remain the same. SDSU student representatives present at the
meeting requested an opportunity to participate in the survey process.
Council Members Oaen Discussion. Mayor Munsterman attended the April 18�' SDSU
Student Senate meeting and was asked what happened with the city's plan to form a Student
Advisory Council. Roden and Thorhes said the project was dropped due to a lack of interest
from both college and high school students.
Munsterman said the next Regional Mayors' Meeting will be held on May 16�'in White. He
noted that the Lake Preston Mayor has requested to be involved with the group.
Munsterman was contacted and recently met with the Santee Sioux Tribal President and
Economic Development Director regarding shared promotion and economic development efforts.
