C. Second Reading of Ordinance 1387 – 2nd Penny for General Fund
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that during the presentation of
the proposed 2019 budget it was noted that the proposed use of General
Fund reserves to balance the budget was higher than past years at about
$426,000. John stated that the recommendation was to use up to $95,000
of Second Penny sales tax funds to reduce the amount of general fund
reserves as state statute allows this use of second penny funds but
city ordinance restricts the usage to capital items. John stated that
during the budget process the City Council reviewed the transfer of
second penny funds to the general fund on a one time basis. John stated
that the proposed ordinance provided for the one time transfer of up to
$95,000 to the general fund by resolution of the City Council adopted
by September 30, 2019. John noted that this will be after the 2020
budget process to determine the amount needed for the general fund.
Discussion followed.

Vermillion, stated that he teaches the science of climate change and
stated that humans have a lot to do with the greenhouse effect on
climate change. Mark explained the need for cities to reduce their
carbon emissions and plan for future climate change. Mark noted that
impact of climate change far away will be felt locally noting the need
to be proactive and move forward together. Mark reviewed the impacts of

South Dakota
Matt Callahan, Fire Chief, reported that in 2003-2005 the City and
Vermillion Clay County EMS Association was awarded a grant to purchase
AED’s for use in police cars and fire trucks. Matt stated that in 2016
replacement of these AED’s began as the lifespan of these units is 8
years which has been exceeded. Matt reported that there are now 8 of
these 2003-2005 units not being used and staff felt the best use was to
find an agency that has no AED’s to transfer them to. Matt recommended
that the 8 Life Pak 500 AED’s be declared surplus and transferred to
the City of Summerset at no charge noting that there is no warranty on
the equipment.
320-18

declared the motion adopted.
E. Engineering Agreement with Burns McDonnell for the Recycling Center
Evaluation
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the Recycling Center,
located at 840 N Crawford Road, functions as the collection point for
all recyclable materials generated in Vermillion. Jose noted that the
materials are either picked up by the City curbside program or dropped
24
off by the public. Jose stated that the Recycling Center staff sort and
process the materials for future sale. Jose noted that the existing
building was not originally designed to function as a recycling center.
Jose reported that in 2012 the City completed the Phase 1 Strategic
Planning Study. Jose noted that part of this study looked at the
current recycling practices in Vermillion and Yankton, identified
alternative types of collection options, and identified equipment and
building alteration costs for the different collection options. Jose
reported that the study also mentioned that some features of the
building may not comply with current safety and health codes and noted
that the consultant did not evaluate the building for code compliance
since that was not part of the scope. Jose reported that staff
contacted two engineering consultants to get a proposal on the work
needed to complete the Recycling Center evaluation noting that both of
the consultants have done work for the City’s Landfill/Recycling Center
in the past and are highly qualified for this type of work. Jose
reported that Burns McDonnell proposed fee was $49,600 and HDR
Engineering proposed fee was $57,500. Jose reported that the scope of
services from Burns McDonnell was included in the packet. Jose reviewed
the content of the scope of services and answered questions of the City
Council.
