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. Farrel reported that the City has adopted both the 2018
International Building Code and the 2018 International Residential Code
that 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 stated that first reading of the ordinance
was at the January 20th meeting and recommended approval of second
reading. Farrel reported that he has been in contact with local
contractors who had concerns about how long it might take to get the
building permit approved.

B. Consideration of beginning the process to appoint a Home Rule
Committee
10
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that last year a Home Rule study
committee was appointed to review whether it made sense for Vermillion
to consider appointing a Home Rule committee to bring a Home Rule charter
forward for action. John stated that the committee was chaired by Mike
Card with the committee members being Matt Fairholm, Julia Hellwege,
Stacey Larson, and Travis Letellier. John noted that the recommendation
of the Home Rule Study Committee presented at the January 20, 2020 noon
meeting was to proceed with establishing an official Home Rule Charter
Committee. John noted that the City Council’s consensus at the noon
meeting was to bring the discussion of appointing a Home Rule committee
forward to the February 3, 2020 evening meeting for deliberation and
possible action. John reviewed the State statute on Home Rule committee
noting that, once appointed, the Home Rule Committee has one year to
complete their work and that, if approved by the City Council, the change
in city government will require a public vote. John stated that the City
Council will need to decide on the number of members for the committee,
when to make the appointments, if City Council members are going to serve
on the committee and a charge for the committee. Discussion followed with
consensus for a five-member committee with appointment at the March 2nd
City Council meeting to include City Council membership. Discussion
followed on the committee charter with John Prescott noting that he could
provide a draft for the City Council to consider. John also noted that
the Expression of Interest forms could be used like for other Council
committees.
24-20
Alderman Sorensen moved that the City proceed with the Home Rule
Committee that should be comprised of five members to be appointed at
the March 2nd City Council meeting. Alderman Humphrey seconded the
motion. Discussion followed on if a City Council member should be on the
committee and if they should be a voting member or a non-voting liaison.
25-20
Alderman Ward moved to amend the motion to have the committee include
one City Council member as a non-voting liaison member. Alderman Humphrey
seconded the motion. The vote on the amendment to the motion carried 8
to 0. Mayor Powell declared the motion amended.
Discussion followed.
The vote on the original motion (24-20) as amended passed 8 to 0. Mayor
Powell declared the motion adopted.
C. Motion to authorize staff to accept quotes for emergency repair of
water line
11
Shane Griese, Utility Manager, reported that a leak has been detected in
the 6-inch water main that crosses under the Vermillion River on South
Dakota Street. Shane stated that the main replacement will consist of
developing plans for the replacement of the existing main, obtaining soil
boring samples, and hiring a directional boring company to bore a new
water main under the river that will be connected to the existing water
main. Shane noted that the river boring portion of the project is
estimated at $70,000 to $100,000 and, as the boring contract is estimated
to exceed $50,000, State statute would require competitive sealed bid
process to be used for awarding this contract. Shane stated that the
location and weather limit our ability to isolate and by-pass the problem
area and due to this we would like to expedite the process. Shane reviewed
the state statute which allows for emergency procurement without the time
involved in advertising for bids. Shane stated that the extent of the
damage to the existing water main cannot be determined or how long it
will continue to supply water to the customers’ south of the river. Staff
would request that the City Council declare the replacement of the water
main an emergency. Shane stated that staff will work with Banner
Engineering to obtain at least two quotes (more if possible) from
companies to bore the replacement water main under the river and
interconnect to the existing water main. Shane also noted that staff will
look at the cost of increasing the water main size to 8-inches at this
time to prepare the system for future needs. Shane stated that all
information on the quotes and contracts will be documented in the
contract file as well as provided to the City Council. Discussion
followed.
26-20
Alderman Holland moved to declare the replacement of the water main an
emergency and authorize staff to contract for the water main replacement
by using quotes as outlined in SDCL 5-18A-9. Alderman Collier-Wise
seconded the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor Powell declared the
motion adopted.
D. Resolution authorizing the purchase of five vehicles
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the 2020 equipment
replacement budget included the replacement of two police vehicles and
pickups for Code Enforcement, Water Department and Electric Department.
Jose reported that staff compared prices from the State Contract with
similar vehicles from Vermillion Ford and Sourcewell. Jose noted that
the State Contract price was lower on all five vehicles. Jose reported
that, when purchasing equipment, the City has several options based on
State statutes. Jose noted that as the purchase of similar vehicles
exceeded $50,000 bidding would be required unless an exception such as
purchase from an already awarded contract that was awarded within 12-
months as long as the awarded bid followed the bidding process (5-18A-
12
22(3)), purchase from a purchasing agency (5-18A-37), or purchase from
the state contract list as long as the purchased item is at, or below,
the price on the state contract list (5-18C-8). Jose reported that
Vermillion Ford was provided the specifications for vehicles based on
the awarded State contract prices. Jose noted that Vermillion Ford
provided very favorable prices when compared to the Sourcewell prices
but the Vermillion Ford prices were not equal to or lower than the State
bid prices. Jose noted that staff would like to recommend that the City
Council purchase the vehicles from Vermillion Ford but the statute being
used (5-18C-8) does not allow for this. Jose stated that the prices from
Vermillion Ford would have had to be the same, or lower, than the State
bid prices and the statute does not allow for preference to local vendors.
Jose recommended approving the Resolution to purchase the following
vehicles from the State awarded bidder (Lamb Motors from Oneida, SD);
two 2020 Ford Interceptor SUV for $71,714, and three 2020 Ford F150 XLT,
4x4, Regular Cab for $83,814 with the price including delivery to
Vermillion. Discussion followed noting the desire to purchase locally
but the State statute would require the local price to be equal or below
the State contract price.
Prices: State Contract - (2) 2020 Ford Interceptors SUV $35,857 each
total $71,714, (3) 2020 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 regular cab pickups $27,938
each total $83,814; Sourcewell - (2) 2020 Ford Interceptors SUV $36,577
each total $73,154, (3) 2020 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 regular cab pickups $29,544
each total $88,632; Vermillion Ford - (2) 2020 Ford Interceptors SUV
$35,982 each total $71,964, (3) 2020 Ford F150 XLT 4x4 regular cab pickups
$28,000 each total $84,000.

After reading the same once, Alderman Ward moved adoption of the
following:

area to get quotes for a replacement vehicle with one quote received.

F. Resolution authorizing the purchase of two mowers
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the 2020 equipment

seeder. Jose stated that, since the budget meetings, a Spartan mower that
was purchased in 2017 which is scheduled to be replaced in 2022 is in
