RESOLUTION NO. 92-20
A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS’ PROVISIONAL
LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES FOR THE 2021 STATE LEGISLATIVE SESSION.
WHEREAS, the City Charter states that the Sioux Falls City Council is the policy making and
legislative body of the City of Sioux Falls;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF SIOUX FALLS, SD:
1. The Sioux Falls City Council supports legislation allowing alternative publication options
for local government.
2. The Sioux Falls City Council supports legislation providing county commissions the option
to reduce the number of official newspapers to one.
3. The Sioux Falls City Council supports legislation that expands workforce-housing
opportunities in South Dakota.
4. The Sioux Falls City Council supports legislation to allow a local option, a gross receipts
tax on alcoholic beverages, to fund county services.
5. The Sioux Falls City Council supports tax increment financing (TIF), an economic
development tool that has led to millions of dollars in increased property value, benefitting
both the state as a whole and the local entities sponsoring the districts, while at the same
time maintaining the integrity of the process.
6. The Sioux Falls City Council supports legislation that provides additional funding for
mental health, drug and alcohol education, intervention, and treatment programs.
7. The Sioux Falls City Council supports cooperative activities between county and
municipal governments, the protection of existing joint activities, and elimination of
barriers that hinder the creation of such arrangements.
8. The Sioux Falls City Council supports efforts to eliminate double taxation on public
projects through the state use and contractor’s excise taxes.
9. The Sioux Falls City Council supports state funding for human service agency
transportation to offset the costs to local public and nonprofit transportation systems.
10. The Sioux Falls City Council supports state funding initiatives to mitigate the emerald ash

felonies as it relates to controlled substances.
12. The Sioux Falls City Council places a high priority on safeguarding and conserving both
the quality and quantity of our area’s natural amenities. Government, in partnership with
business, should share responsibility in conserving, enhancing, and protecting our water
quality, air quality, and land. Given the substantial public and private investments to
develop the river greenway, and the potential to develop a first-class amenity in our
community, strategies to support a cleanup of the Big Sioux River and its tributaries
should be identified and implemented.
13. The Sioux Falls City Council embraces the opportunities that our state’s growing diversity
provides for a culturally and talent-rich community. We will work with the governor, the
legislature, state agencies, and elected officials to develop efforts to engage and include
all individuals. Legal immigration and refugee resettlement are proven and vital strategies
