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.

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.
