Present: Collier-Wise, Hellwege, Holland, Price, Sorensen, Ward,
Willson, Mayor Powell
Absent: Humphrey
2. Visitors to be Heard – None
Mayor Powell reported that the agenda for the Joint Meeting with the Clay
County Commissioners listed a start time of 6:30 p.m. but the County had
listed the meeting as 7:00 p.m. so the Joint City/County meeting will
start at 7:00 p.m. with the regular City Council meeting to follow.
3. Educational Session – Supreme Court ruling impacting City sign
ordinance – Jolly Omar
Jolly Omar, Administrative Intern, reported on the Supreme Court case of
Reed vs. Town of Gilbert which determined that ordinances cannot restrict
signs based on content. Discussion followed on the City’s existing sign
ordinance with the consensus that staff work on updating the sign
ordinance to comply with the Supreme Court ruling.
4. Educational Session – Potential Fire Department ordinance and policy
changes (Knox Box, multiple false alarm fee, and business registry) –
Fire/EMS Chief Matt Callahan
Matt Callahan, Fire Chief, reported that there are a few issues that the
Fire Department has encountered which would require the City Council to
change or add to the current ordinances. Matt stated that Matt Taggart,
Fire Marshall, would be handing out information and addressing the
issues.
Matt Taggart, Fire Marshall, reported that the current rapid entry system
requires many newly constructed structures to have a key lock box located
on the structure. Matt stated that many other structures within the
community have fire protection systems which call the Fire Department
and when the Department responds to the structure there may be no one
1
home to provide access. Matt stated that the Fire Department then needs
to try to contact the owner or, if it looks like there may be an issue,
will need to force entry. Matt stated that they would like to add to the
rapid entry system ordinance to require all existing structures equipped
with fire protection systems that include fire sprinklers and/or fire
alarm system have the key lock box to allow the Department to access.
Discussion followed on the proposed ordinance noting the need to explain
the fire protection systems. The consensus was that staff work on this
proposed change to the ordinance for consideration in the future.
Matt Taggart, Fire Marshall, reported that there is currently no fee for
Fire Department inspections or re-inspections and those that know this
do not make the needed safety corrections to their facilities. Matt
suggested that the initial inspection and first re-inspection remain free
but that an increasing fee be charged for the third and fourth re-
inspection and that after that the violation be turned over to the City
Manager or City Attorney for action. Discussion followed on the need to
include a fee after the first re-inspection and the need to review current
fees being charged in other city departments for violations to have the
fees comparable. The consensus of the City Council was to review these
items and report back at a future meeting.
Matt Taggart, Fire Marshall, handed out a model fire alarm ordinance
noting that the goal of the ordinance is for cooperation between all
parties to improve the reliability and reduce the number of nuisance fire
alarms. Matt noted that the model ordinance included that a fee be charged
after the second or third nuisance fire alarm to encourage the system
owner and/or monitoring company to keep the system up to date. Matt
answered questions of the City Council on the proposal with the consensus
of the City Council that staff develop an ordinance for consideration in
the future.
Matt Taggart, Fire Marshall, stated that the last item would be the
consideration of a business registry. Matt stated that this is an item
that the Code Enforcement Department would also like to make sure any
new business or changes to existing business conform to the building and
zoning codes. Matt stated that the Fire Department would like to know
what materials are being stored on site as well as general information
on the business so contact can be made in advance to be proactive vs.
reactive. Matt answered questions of the City Council with the consensus
to develop an ordinance for consideration in the future.

John Prescott, City Manager, reported that discussions started on small
cell in 2017 and during 2018 the South Dakota Municipal League worked
with the telecommunications industry to develop a model ordinance for
communities to consider with the deployment of small cell technology.

has been impacted by FCC actions over the last year which added to the
process of developing the ordinance. John noted that, over the last 18
months, the City Council has had four noon sessions where this item was
discussed along with input from Verizon. John stated that, at the May 6,
2019 meeting, the Utilities Committee presented a draft of the ordinance
and recommended approval as they had completed their review of the
document. John reviewed the content of the ordinance noting that at
second reading fees will need to be set by resolution.
Jeff Armour, Verizon representative from the Omaha office, stated that
in the development of the ordinance they worked with the City Manager
and City Attorney and that the proposed ordinance is a step in moving
small cell to the City. Jeff noted that he felt they could work with the
proposed ordinance in the permitting process except for the requirement
to provide full-color signal propagation maps which he said was
proprietary information unless it could be kept confidential. Jeff noted
that the fees charged are to be revenue neutral with other cities at
$100 to $150 per pole per year. Jeff noted that the small cell is
currently using 4G technology but can be upgraded as technology permits.
Jeff noted that the large tower will still be needed for blanket coverage
while the small cell will provide additional coverage for hot spots. Jeff
reviewed pictures of existing small cell equipment deployed in Omaha and
Lincoln Nebraska. Jeff answered questions of the City Council on the
proposed ordinance and discussion followed on changes to the ordinance.
The City Attorney reviewed the following changes to the proposed
ordinance: Page 7 f. and h. remove “rendering additional compliance with
this subsection” from both, Page 7 i. remove “(iii) full-color signal
propagation maps”, Page 12(K) remove “This includes, but is not limited
