Dan Voss, Administrative Intern, stated that the current definition of

property and whose body weight or whose combined body and load weight
exceeds 6,000 pounds. Dan noted that there are quite a number of

unloaded weight that exceed 6,000 pounds. Dan reported that, in
checking with other cities, the SDDOT and SECOG use a combined weight

to “Any vehicle used to transport passengers or property with a gross
vehicle weight rating, gross combination weight rating, gross vehicle
weight, or gross combination weight which exceeds 10,001 pounds. This
definition applies to many types of vehicles, i.e., small package
delivery vehicles, pick-up trucks with trailers attached, box trucks,

included the following condition “approval of the on-sale liquor and
on-off sale malt beverage license to the Old Lumber Company, Inc. for
the Old Lumber Company, at 15 Court Street for the interior of the
building at said location”. Mike stated that the City Council will need
to consider if it wants to continue to restrict the license to the
interior of the building. Mike stated that Chad has submitted a letter
requesting to have the restriction on his license for the interior of
the building removed. Mike noted that the letter of request from Chad
along with a list of neighbors he contacted is included in the packet.

5
application also includes an enclosed structure on the roof with a bar
and seating with doors leading to a roof patio area with the occupancy
listed for the enclosed structure and patio area being 49. Mike stated
that the request is to renew the retail on-off malt beverage license
for 15 Court with the expansion to 11 Court and the site expansion of
the retail liquor license to include 11 Court and if the restrictions
to the interior of the building will continue. Mike stated that, if the
site expansion is approved to 11 Court Street, it should be contingent
upon approval of occupancy by the Building Inspector.
Chad Grunewaldt, owner of Old Lumber Company, stated that he would
answer any questions of the City Council and stated that he has a set
of plans for the elevator and roof top area. Chad answered questions of

Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that this section of the
ordinance is referred to as the Subdivision Ordinance. Jose reported
that the current subdivision regulations were adopted in 2011 that
completely amended the 1967 subdivision chapter of the Code of
Ordinances. Jose reported that since 2011 the subdivision chapter has
seen one minor amendment dealing with the creation of private roads.
Jose noted that the subdivision chapter allows the City to plan for
future growth, protect the public and promote harmonious development.
Jose reported that the major items this amendment will address are the
removal of the platting and design requirements for the land outside of
the Joint Jurisdictional Zoning Area, and the changes to the section
dealing with access to streets and roads. Jose reported that, since the
adoption of Ordinance in 2011, Clay County adopted a subdivision
ordinance that addresses development outside of the City and County
Joint Jurisdictional Zoning Area in 2014. Jose noted that another part
that has been changed extensively is the subsection dealing with Access
to Streets and Roads. Jose stated that this subsection controls the
number of access points to a street from building lots with the goal to
minimize the number of street cuts in order to maintain a safe
environment for the general public while preserving an acceptable level
of traffic capacity on the streets. Jose reported on the public meeting
held to review the proposed ordinance as well as meetings with the
Planning Commission and City Council. Jose reported that he has
received no comments since first reading on May 7th and recommended
approval of the second reading of the ordinance. Discussion followed.

158-18
Alderman Erickson moved approval of the request of South Dakota
Shakespeare Festival to close Main Street from Plum Street to Walker
Street on June 7, 8, and 9, 2018 from 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., June 10,

from Plum Street to Sycamore Street on June 4 – 10, 2018. Alderman

D. Request to utilize Bed, Board and Booze vs. Second Penny funds for a
portion of Vermillion Now 2! pledge
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that in 2014 the City pledged
$500,000 to the Vermillion Now 2! Initiative with the funding to be
paid over five budget years beginning with 2015. John noted that
$250,000 of the pledge would be paid in equal installments of $50,000
from the Bed, Board, and Booze fund each year and the second $250,000
of the pledge would come from the Second Penny fund and be used for
eligible capital expenditures. John reviewed the allowed use for BBB
sales tax and Second Penny sales tax. John reported that none of the
$250,000 pledged from Second Penny funds for the Vermillion Now 2!
Campaign have been paid at this point as a qualifying project has not
been presented. John reported that the VCDC is in the final months of
the building renovation of 2 East Main Street. John stated that the
VCDC has requested to use $100,000 of the Vermillion Now 2 Pledge to
help complete this building renovation project. John noted that the 2
East Main building will include entrepreneurial space, the Charlie’s
store, visitor center and chamber offices. John noted that Staff does
not believe that renovation of the building fits within the parameters
of 2nd Penny funds since the City will not own the building while the
visitor’s center, entrepreneurial space, and Chamber office would be
related to promotion of the community and economic development purposes
that would fit within the BBB sales tax usages. John recommended
approval of utilizing $100,000 of BBB funds in place of Second Penny
funds pledged to the Vermillion Now 2! campaign for the 2 East Main
project. Discussion followed.
159-18

being used by the Department. Shane requested that the generator be

to be sold by sealed bids.
160-18

F. Declaring 5 – MSA Airpacks Surplus
Matt Callahan, Fire Chief, reported that in 2016 the City received a
grant to purchase 25 SCOTT Airpacks. Matt stated that five of our
existing airpacks did not meet replacement criteria and were kept in
inventory. Matt stated that these five airpacks are not compatible with
the new airpacks and requested they be declared surplus, appraised by
the Surplus Property Appraisal committee to be sold by sealed bids.
161-18
