explained the difference of Home Rule. Mr. Card reviewed advantages of
Home Rule, the impact of Home Rule on the aldermanic form of government
with the City Manager option and criticisms of Home Rule. Mr. Card
reported that the Committee recommendation is to proceed with
establishing an official Home Rule Charter Committee to enable the City
to meet here-to-fore unforeseen challenges and to enable the Council to
authorize even more responsive services to Vermillion Residents.
John Prescott, City Manager, reviewed the timeline for establishing a
Home Rule Charter Committee and City Council action on the Committee’s
recommendation to bring a change in government to a vote. John reviewed
the state statutes for elections noting that it is possible to meet the
primary deadlines but would allow very little time for public education.
John noted the general election would allow additional time for public
input or a special election could be scheduled for after the general
election.
Mr. Card and other members of the committee answered questions of the
City Council on the report and Home Rule. The consensus of the City
Council was to move forward with creation of a Home Rule Charter Committee
noting the need for public input.

Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, stated that, with the SD DOT planning a
project on Hwy 50, the City had conversations with the DOT regarding
drainage improvements as part of the project. Jose noted that the City
hired a consultant to review the drainage in the Hwy 50 south ditch with
the results being shared with the DOT who have indicated they would be
willing to contract with the city to construct the improvements as part
of the Hwy project. Jose noted that the DOT will require a final study
to determine storm sewer pipe size and provide information needed for
construction plans of the drainage improvements. Jose noted that the
final study is due by May 1, 2020. Jose stated that the DOT will require
the City to enter into an agreement regarding project cost sharing and
future maintenance costs. Jose noted that, based on estimated project
cost of $1.2 million, the costs would be $640k City and $560k State.

he will need to work with an engineer to determine a contract for the
project in order to have the report to the State by May 1st, noting that

A. First reading of Ordinance 1411 to amend Title XV, Land Usage; Chapter
150 Building Regulation; Section 150.02(B)(7) International Building
Code to add roofing and siding as work requiring a permit
Farrel Christensen, Building Official, reported that the Vermillion
Historic Preservation Commission approached staff and the City Council
with a desire to require permits for siding and roof replacement. Farrel
stated that the City’s current codes exempt these type of projects from
needing a permit and as a result makes it very difficult for the Historic
Preservation Commission to advise property owners of the possible
benefits of repairs consistent with the historic character of the
property. Farrel stated that it was discovered that most first class
cities in South Dakota do require permits for siding and roof replacement
for all buildings. Farrel reported that the City has adopted both the
2018 International Building Code and the 2018 International Residential
Code which, when adopted, there were exceptions for roof and siding
replacement permits. Farrel stated that proposed Ordinance No. 1411
amends the International Building Code to remove the permit exception
for roof and siding replacement. Farrel noted that for siding when more
than 50% of any building wall surface is being replaced or repaired in
any given 5-year period and for roof replacement when more than 50% of
any building roof surface is being replaced or repaired in any given 5-
year period. Farrel stated that a separate ordinance is needed to amend
the International Residential Code, which is the next item on the agenda.
Farrel noted that the proposed changes would add siding and roofing to
the existing section which already requires a permit for replacement
window work. Farrel stated that fees are proposed to be set by resolution
with the second reading of the ordinances and are intended to keep permit
costs low to the property owners while providing the benefits of City
Inspectors to ensure the safety of the work and its compliance with
building code. Discussion followed.

B. First reading of Ordinance 1412 to amend Title XV, Land Usage; Chapter
150 Building Regulation; Section 150.03(B)(5) International Residential
Code to add roofing and siding as work requiring a permit
Farrel Christensen, Building Official, noted that with the previous
agenda item the City has adopted the 2018 version of both the
International Building Code and the International Residential Code.
Farrel stated that the adoption of both codes were made with exceptions
for permits to be issued for roof and siding work. Farrel reported that
the previous agenda item was to amend the International Building Code to
require permits for roof and siding work. Farrel stated that proposed
Ordinance No. 1412 would amend the International Residential Code to
remove the building permit exception for roof and siding replacement.

3. Draft of ordinance to require permits for roofing and siding work –
Farrel Christensen
Farrel Christensen, Building Official, reported that at the December 2nd
noon meeting the Historic Preservation Commission requested that the City
Council change the ordinance to require building permits for roofing and
siding work with the consensus to make the ordinance changes. Farrel
handed out a draft ordinance that provides for a building permit for
roofing and siding amendment to the International Residential Code and
International Building Code, noting that the language is the same in
each. Farrel noted that the siding permit is required if more than 50%
of any building wall surface is being replaced or repaired in any given
5-year period and for reroofing a permit is required when more than 50%
of any building roof surface is being replaced or repaired in any given
5-year period. Farrel stated that the 50% is provided in the building
code and most all other cities in SD require permits for roofing and
siding. Discussion followed on the permit requirement. Farrel noted that,
as to the fee, the current charge for a window permit is $25 and he would
propose that a permit for reroofing or siding also be $25 and for a
combination of windows, roofing and siding the fee be $40. Discussion
followed on the fee and on the building permit process. The consensus
was to bring the draft ordinance forward for Council consideration.

donate the land. The consensus was to request additional time on the
offer and if Mr. Higman would continue to support the sculpture walk.

John Prescott, City Manager, reported that Ross Dickenson made a request
for funding from the city for the Patriots Project at the November 18th

Council Agenda Memo
From: Farrel Christensen, Building Official
Meeting: January 20, 2020
Subject: First Reading of Ordinance 1411 to amend the International Building Code
to require permits for the replacement of roofs and siding
Presenter: Farrel Christensen
Background: The Vermillion Historic Preservation Commission approached staff and the
City Council with a desire to require permits for siding and roof replacement. The City’s
current codes exempt these type of projects from needing a permit and as a result makes
it very difficult for the Historic Preservation Commission to advise property owners of
the possible benefits of repairs consistent with the historic character of the property. After
some research, it was discovered that most first class cities in South Dakota do require
permits for siding and roof replacement for all buildings.
Discussion: The City has adopted both the 2018 International Building Code and the
2018 International Residential Code. The adoptions were made with exceptions for roof
and siding replacement permits. Proposed Ordinance 1411 amends the International
Building Code to remove the permit exception for roof and siding replacement. A
separate ordinance is needed to amend the International Residential Code, which is the
next item on the agenda.
Administration has proposed changes that would add siding and roofing to the existing
section which already requires a permit for replacement window work. Fees are proposed
to be set by resolution with the second reading of the ordinances and are intended to keep
permit costs low to the property owners while providing the benefits of City Inspectors to
ensure the safety of the work and its compliance with building code. In many cases,
shingles will not be warrantied without proof of installation. Too many layers, the wrong
type of shingle, inadequate wind loads, or incorrect installation can shorten the lifespan
of a roof by up to 40 percent. Incorrectly installed siding can result in warping, moisture,
mold, and rot.
Financial Consideration: The only cost to the City is publication of the ordinance.
8. New Business; item a
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approval of the first
reading of Ordinance 1411 to amend the International Building Code to require permits
for roof and siding work.

MUNICIPAL ELECTION COMBINED WITH THE PRIMARY ON JUNE 2, 2020
The combined Primary, School and Municipal election will be held June 2, 2020 with all municipal
voters voting at the National Guard Armory located at 603 Princeton Street. The City of Vermillion is
divided into four wards, with each ward represented by two aldermen. The following offices will
become vacant due to the expiration of the present 4-year term of office of the elective officer:
Alderman Central Ward
Alderman Northeast Ward
Alderman Northwest Ward
Alderman Southeast Ward
Nominating petitions can be circulated starting March 1, 2020 and must be filed in the City Finance
Office by 5:00 p.m. on March 31, 2020. No person may hold any elected municipal office who is not a
qualified voter of the municipality and who has not resided therein at least three months next preceding
their election. Municipal nominating petitions are available at the City Finance Office or Secretary of
State at www.sdsos.gov.
The signature requirements for nominating petitions are as follows:
If the candidate is to be voted for by the voters of a ward of a municipality of the first or second class
having more than one ward, a nominating petition shall be signed by five percent of the registered
voters of the ward based on the number of registered voters recorded by the county auditor on the
second Tuesday in January of the year of the election. No petition need be signed by more than fifty
voters.
Registered Five Signatures
Voters Percent Required
Central Ward 951 48 48
Northeast Ward 896 45 45
Northwest Ward 1,464 74 50
Southeast Ward 1,810 91 50
It is recommended to collect signatures above the minimum to allow for any that may be invalid. It is
prudent to submit a petition with ample time prior to the deadline to allow time to collect additional
signatures if there are not sufficient valid signatures presented on the initial petition.

VOTER REGISTRATION: Voter registration for the Primary/School/Municipal Election to be held on
June 2, 2020 will close at 5:00 p.m. on May 18, 2020. Failure to register by this date will cause
forfeiture of voting rights for this election. If a resident is in doubt about whether they are registered,

at 677-7120.
