City Council Agendas, Packets and Minutes

Unapproved Minutes Council Special Session August 17, 2015 Monday 12:00 noon The special session of the City Council, City of Vermillion, South Dakota was held on Monday, August 17, 2015 at 12:00 noon at the City Hall large conference room. 1. Roll Call Present: Collier-Wise, Erickson, Holland, Clarene Meins, Price, Ward, Willson, Mayor Powell Absent: Holly Meins 2. Informational Session – Follow-up on Presentation of legal newspaper proposals – Andy Colvin Andy Colvin, Assistant to the City Manager, reported that following the August 3rd noon session a Council member asked for some additional information on how legal notice charges are calculated in order to make a more informed decision and fully understand the proposals. Andy stated that he contacted both the Equalizer and Plain Talk and asked them to provide the formula used to determine the charge for the Notice of Election, which was published in both newspapers. Andy stated that both newspapers demonstrated how notices and charges are calculated and from this information discovered that both newspapers overcharged the City for the notice. Andy explained the billing error noting that this was the only legal for the Equalizer and a credit was issued. Andy stated that, regarding the overcharging from the Plain Talk, Mr. Wood is aware of the issue and has issued a credit for the difference in the overcharges. Andy stated that Mike Carlson has requested a breakdown of a few specific charges from invoices to more accurately determine that the correct amounts were charged going as far back as 2011 and were unable to reconcile with the billed amount. Andy noted that, as of the writing of this memo, City staff have not received the requested information from Mr. Wood. Andy stated that information received from both newspapers has been included in the packet and representatives from both newspapers are present to answer questions. Gary Wood, owner of the Plain Talk, stated that there appears to be some question as to the circulation information in his proposal which he noted was certified to the Secretary of State in September 2014. Gary stated that, as to local ownership, he is one of the owners and is present at the Vermillion and Yankton operations. Gary reported that the Plain Talk includes all local news stories and has served the 1 community for over 100 years. Gary stated that the proposed rate is lower than the rate allowed by the State Administrative Rule. Scott Munger, owner of Equalizer, reported on the content of the paper noting it provides local as well as regional and national news. Scott stated that the notice of election was published by both newspapers and that the number of lines billed by the Equalizer was 365 compared to 402 for the Plain Talk. Bruce Odsen, resident of Vermillion and owner of newspapers outside the city, suggested waiting until after October 1, 2015 as both newspapers will need to file their average circulation numbers with the Secretary of State. This will also allow the City time to check the billing noting that the City staff is also at fault for not questioning the newspaper billing. Scott Munger offered to show his circulation list if the City wanted to review. Discussion followed on the billing process with Gary and Scott answering questions of the City Council. Gary Wood reported that, if designated the official newspaper, his rate would be 30% less than the rate allowed by the State Administrative Rule. Discussion followed on the issue of designating an official newspaper noting that the designation must be retained for twelve months. Mayor Powell stated that the designation of official newspaper is on the agenda for this evening if the Council members want to take action or it can be tabled for a future meeting. 3.

Mayor Powell declared that the Resolution was adopted. E. Designation of Legal Newspaper Andy Colvin, Assistant to the City Manager, reported as background that the City received a letter from Scott Munger requesting that the City Council consider the Equalizer when it designated an official newspaper. Andy noted that the Plain Talk is currently the legal newspaper and has been for many years. Andy reported that staff prepared a request for proposal that was sent to the Plain Talk and Equalizer. Andy noted that the requests for proposals were reviewed by the City Council at the August 3rd noon meeting. Andy stated that following that meeting a City Council member asked for some additional information on how legal notice charges were calculated in order to understand the proposals. Andy reported that, in reviewing the calculations for the June notice of election that was published in both 10 newspapers, it was determined that there were errors made by both papers in the calculations. Andy stated that the information received from each newspaper has been included in the packet for the August 3rd and August 17th meetings. Gary Wood, owner of the Plain Talk, requested the City Council continue with the designation of the Plain Talk as the official newspaper.

Discussion followed on the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Powell declared the motion adopted. F. Designate purpose (charge) for Downtown Public Facilities Committee Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that, through the sidewalk repair project and the proposed improvements to the intersection of Main and Center/Court, the City received several inquiries about the possibility of having a larger downtown project. Jose stated that, in order to see if there was any support for a project of this magnitude, the City held a couple of public meetings to gather public input regarding possible downtown infrastructure projects. Jose stated that the comments from these public meetings were presented to the City Council. Jose stated that the City Council has adopted the goals from the 2004 Streetscape Plan as a guide for any projects in the downtown area. Jose reported that the City has applied to the State for a grant that could be utilized on sidewalk improvements. Jose noted that staff recommends forming a Downtown Public Facilities Committee. The committee would assist Staff with decisions concerning the possible downtown projects. The committee would be comprised of five members, with the City holding an ex-officio position. Jose noted that, per 11 State Statute, the City Manager would choose the members of the committee. Jose recommended that the City Council set the following parameters as the charge for the committee: 1) The plan should provide a safe and inviting experience for downtown businesses, city residents, and visitors to the area; and, 2) The plan should reintroduce downtown Vermillion as an exciting and essential part of Vermillion; and, 3) The plan should build upon the timelessness and historic character of downtown; and, 4) The plan should be developed in a way that can allow for phased implementation of infrastructure improvements; and, 5) The plan will only address infrastructure improvements (e.g. roadway, sidewalks, curb and gutter, bump-outs, street lighting, utility improvements, etc…) and landscaping improvements (e.g. planter beds, trees, pedestrian lighting, benches, bike racks, etc…); and, 6) The plan shall make an effort to not remove parking spaces unless a safety concern is being addressed (i.e. if a parking location is too close to the intersection and blocks visibility); and, 7) The conceptual cost of any proposed improvements shall not exceed $5,000,000 with the costs being split between the City and the property owners. These parameters would offer enough leeway to the committee for good, viable, ideas to come forth to the City Council at a later time. Discussion followed on the selection of the committee noting that the committee would report to the City Council. 264-15 Alderman Holland moved approval of the charge for the Downtown Public Facilities Committee to be appointed by the City Manager. Alderman Price seconded the motion. Discussion followed. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Powell declared the motion adopted. 9.
