2. Informational Item – Liquor Store cash register system update –
Gregg Peters
Gregg Peters, Liquor Store Manager, reported that the cash register
inventory control software has been in use since he started 14 years
ago. Gregg stated that the current vendor does not provide software
upgrades and limits the credit card vendors to only one company. Gregg
stated that the system is slow and in need of replacement. Gregg stated
that he has reviewed a number of systems and would recommend converting
to Cambase USA at a hardware and software cost of under $9,000. Gregg
noted that, as to credit card vendors, he was able to request proposals
and the low quote will save about $1,100 in credit card fees per month
over the current provider.
Alderman Sorensen arrived at 12:08 p.m. Mayor Powell declared a quorum.
Gregg reviewed the benefits of the new system noting that the annual
maintenance is about the same cost. Gregg answered questions of the
City Council on the new system. The consensus of the City Council was
to move forward with the new system.
3. Educational Item – Presentation of Proposed Small Cell Ordinances –
Jake Losinski
Jake Losinski, Assistant to the City Manager, stated that he wanted to
update the City Council on the process of addressing small cell in the
city ordinance. Jake provided a sample ordinance that would establish
definitions for small cell and provide that small cell would be a
1
conditional use in each zoning district. Jake stated that the second
ordinance would require an application be provided to City staff with
the necessary information to recommend to the Planning Commission for
the Conditional Use public hearing process. Jake noted that following
the approval from the Planning Commission the City would require a
standard use agreement if any structures were located on City owned
property or right of way. Jake noted that the standard use agreement
would require City Council approval and reviewed some of the proposed
items to address in the agreement. Jake reported that, in communication
with SECOG, it was suggested that the City establish a right of way
ordinance as the majority of the small cell facilities are placed in
the right of way. Jake stated that he would be reviewing the right of
way ordinance as well as drafting sample applications and sample
standard agreements for a future update. Discussion followed on the
small cell information noting that the agreements may need to be longer
in term and address multiple structures and locations within the city
on one application.
4. Informational Item – Update of Street Closure Request Policy – Jake
Losinski
Jake Losinski, Assistant to the City Manager, reported that included in
the packet was an updated street closing request. Jake reviewed the
updated form and instructions. Discussion followed on the form noting
the need to include a fee to cover any overtime costs if City employees
are required afterhours to set up or take down barricades and to
include on the application if a noise permit or special daily license
would be required.

6. Public Hearings
A. First Reading of Ordinance 1367 to amend Chapter 155, Section
155.008 to update the definition of the term Parking Space and Section
155.072(B) to clarify the approved options to conform to Off-Street
Parking requirements.
Addison McCauley, Administrative Intern, reported that Title XV: Land
Usage, Chapter 155 Zoning Regulations, §155.008 Definitions, currently
contains an out of date and less comprehensive definition of the term
“Parking Space” than what would be preferred by the City Engineer and
the City Building Official. Addison noted that the current code
regulations in §155.072(B) Off-Street Parking (Required parking
spaces), regarding residential off-street parking requirements, do not
recognize garage stalls which are not accessible from the unit through
a walk-through door without going outside. Addison noted that this
regulation has been found to be problematic by local property owners
who wish to conform to code, but do not have the extra space to create
another parking space on their lot. Addison stated that the City
Engineer and Building Official have also expressed that residents are
often unsure as to how to otherwise conform to the off-street parking
requirements and would like their options to be clearly stated in our
code. Addison reported that the parking space definition has been
updated, the ordinance lists options for a property owner to follow
when building off street parking and provides for garages stall to
count if it is at least 10 feet wide by 20 foot long and is located
within 10 feet of the unit. Addison reported that the Planning
Commission reviewed proposed Ordinance 1367 at their January 8, 2018
meeting. They unanimously recommended approval of the ordinance as
presented. Discussion followed.

second reading of Ordinance 1368 to create the Dakota Commons Planned
Development District. Jake stated that this PDD would allow for mixed-
use development targeted primarily towards students in a previously
undeveloped lot located across Dakota Street from the University. Jake
noted that the PDD would also allow for further commercial buildings to
be developed in the future. Jake stated that it is important to note
that the initial development plan under consideration provides a broad
5
overview of the area and gives a general idea of what uses will be
allowed. Jake stated that the conceptual plans provided are for
illustrative uses only and may not actually represent what is

pledged and assigned for the equal and ratable payments of the Revenue
Bond and shall be used for no other purpose than to pay the principal
of and interest on the Revenue Bond, except as may be otherwise
expressly authorized in the Loan Agreement (including the purpose of

System or establish special charges or surcharges which will be

Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that, as part of the 2018
equipment replacement schedule, the Wastewater Department 2002 skid
steer loader is scheduled to be replaced. Jose reported that after
discussion with the Wastewater Department it was agreed that a skid
steer loader did not meet the job requirements any longer. Jose
reported that it was determined that it would be more efficient to have
a piece of equipment that could be used on different jobs (e.g. using
the equipment to move snow, to move equipment/parts around the
treatment plant, to move small amounts of backfill material, etc…).
Jose noted that, due to the proposed uses, he is proposing the purchase
of a utility vehicle. Jose stated that this new utility vehicle would

material at the job site. Jose reported that quotes were requested from
two vendors for prices on a utility vehicle with a snow blower, snow
blade, material bucket and an angle broom attachments. Jose reported
that the first was from Polaris Sales, Inc for a Polaris Brutus HDPTO
Deluxe for $31,542.68 and second was from Sooland Bobcat for a Bobcat

Resolution was adopted.
I. Renewal of Janitorial Services for City of Vermillion Facilities
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that since February 2017 the
City has contracted with Service Master of Southeast South Dakota from
Yankton to perform janitorial services on several City facilities.
Jose reported that the contract provided for two one-year renewals.
Jose stated that the original contract with Service Masters required
that they clean the Service Center, the Community Center/Armory,
Recycling Center, Wastewater Treatment Plant, the Edith B. Siegrist
Vermillion Public Library, Vermillion Fire and EMS Station 1, and the
Bluff’s Golf Course Club House. Jose reported that after discussions
with the respective department heads it was agreed to include a few
changes to the new contract with the largest change being the removal
of the Bluff’s Golf Course Club House from the list of buildings to be
cleaned. Jose reported that the new price quoted from Service Masters
is for $52,503. Jose noted that this is $7,725 less than the previous
contract, which seems reasonable when considering that additional work
was added and a building was removed from the list of buildings to be
cleaned. Jose recommended renewing the contract with Service Master of
Southeast South Dakota in the amount of $52,503 and to authorize the
City Manager to sign the contract. Discussion followed on the building
as well as services added and removed from the contract.
