John noted that the Emergency Resolution adopted on February 1, 2021 was very similar to Emergency Resolutions adopted in August, October, and December 2020, which expired after 60-days. John stated that the four emergency resolutions have been designed to promote the use of face coverings to slow the spread of the coronavirus. John reported that the Emergency Resolutions were also designed to provide the language that Emergency Ordinance 1419, 1422, 1425, and the current Emergency Ordinance 1429, that required the posting of a sign, which states that face masks are expected per City resolution. John noted that with the adoption of the Emergency Resolution on February 1st, as the City Council has done with all other emergency measures, there was a reference that the item would be on each regular City Council meeting agenda during the 60-day life of the resolution for review and consideration of continuation. John stated this is the third opportunity to consider revisions to the Emergency Resolution since adoption on 3 February 1st. John reported that City staff has not received any questions about the emergency resolution which is likely due to public familiarity with the purpose and language of the document. John recommended that the City Council review information related to COVID- 19 and the emergency resolution recommending face coverings or face masks in buildings open to the public. Mayor Collier-Wise stated that, if there is no action, we will move on to the next item. B.

John stated that Emergency Ordinance No. 1429 was very similar to Emergency Ordinance No. 1419, 1922 and 1425. John stated during the life of current Emergency Ordinance No. 1429, and with Emergency Ordinances 1419, 1422, and 1425 there have been no citations for non- compliance. John noted that the signs continue to be available for free at City Hall, the VCDC office, or they can be printed from the City’s website. John stated that with Emergency Ordinance No. 1429 expiring on April 16,2021, a first reading of Emergency Ordinance No. 1432 to continue the sign requirement is later on this agenda. John recommended that the City Council review information related to COVID-19 and the Emergency Ordinance No. 1429 requiring signage at the entrance to buildings open to the public that states Face Masks Expected per City Resolution. Mayor Collier-Wise stated that, if there is no action, we will move on to the next item. C.

James noted that the Polar Plunge is an annual fund raising event for Special Olympics. James stated that this request asks for an extra hour of closure time from what was granted last year, as the event may have to stagger plunge times due to COVID-19 concerns and restrictions. James noted that the event will be outdoors, and masks will be mandated except while taking the plunge. James noted that the requirements will only allow a maximum of 50 people in attendance at any given time. James stated that a map of the proposed street closing is attached along with the street closure request completed by Jon Cole. James reported that this event would take place in the same location as last year and Old Lumber Company staff and volunteers will assist in the setup, hosting, and cleanup for the event. James recommended the approval of the temporary closure of Kidder Street for the Polar Plunge event on Saturday, April 10, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Jon Cole, representing the Law Enforcement Torch Run, explained the changes to the event and answered questions of the City Council. 63-21 Alderman Holland moved approval of the request from the Law Enforcement Torch Run South Dakota and Special Olympics to close Kidder Street from the corner of Court Street west to the alley between Court Street and Market Street for the Polar Plunge event on Saturday April 10, 2021 from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Alderman Jennewein seconded the motion.

First reading of Ordinance 1431 – Amending Appendix A, 2012 Joint Zoning Regulations for Clay County and the City of Vermillion, Chapter 2, Section 2.03 (A) Zoning Map, by removing certain real property from the A-1 Agricultural District and including it in the RR Rural Residential District Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that on October 9, 2020 the County received a petition to rezone approximately 13.5 acres at the northwest corner of 466th Avenue and East Main Street. Jose stated that the applicant requested that the land be rezoned from the A-1: Agricultural District to RR: Rural Residential District. Jose noted that, 5 if approved, the rezoning will allow the land to be developed into residential lots. Jose reported that the land is located in the Joint Jurisdiction Zoning Area. Jose reported that the County Planning Commission and the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at a joint meeting on October 26, 2020. Jose noted that, at that meeting, the County’s Planning Commission recommended the County Commission not approve the rezone request and the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission tabled the item for further discussion at a later time. Jose reported that the County Commissioners considered the rezone at their November 24, 2020 and tabled the item to allow the applicant time to come up with a plan to address drainage concerns. Jose reported that the County Commissioners at their January 12, 2021 meeting continued discussions with the decision to allow the rezone to advance to the second reading. Jose reported that the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission reconsidered this item at their February 8, 2021 meeting with the unanimous recommendation to approve the rezone. Jose reported that the process set in the JJZA for zoning amendments requires that governing bodies meet individually to consider the first reading of the ordinance and, if advanced by both bodies, they would then hold a joint meeting to consider the second reading. Jose noted that, if the City Council approves the first reading tonight, the joint meeting will be on April 5th. Jon Cole stated that he lives south of the property and approves of the rezone. Nick Hovden, property owner, answered questions of the City Council on the zone change and drainage. 64-21 Mayor Collier-Wise read the title to the above mentioned Ordinance and Alderman Ward moved adoption of the following Resolution: BE IT RESOLVED that the minutes of this meeting shall show that the title to proposed Ordinance No. 1431 entitled an Ordinance Amending Appendix A, 2012 Joint Zoning Regulations for Clay County and the City of Vermillion, Chapter 2, Section 2.03(A) Zoning Map, by removing certain real property from the A-1 Agricultural District and including it in the RR Rural Residential District of the City of Vermillion, South Dakota has been read and the Ordinance has been considered for the first time in its present form and content at this meeting being a regularly called meeting of the Governing Body of the City on this 15th day of March, 2021 at the Council Chambers in City Hall in the manner prescribed by SDCL 9-19-7 as amended. The motion was seconded by Alderman Willson. After discussion the question of adoption of the Resolution was put to a roll call vote of the Governing Body was as follows: Hellwege-Y, Holland-Y, Humphrey-Y, Jennewein-Y, Letellier-Y, Price-Y, Ward-Y, Willson-Y, Collier-Wise-Y. Mayor Collier-Wise declared the motion adopted. 6 C. Resolution to approve a Project Plan for Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District #7 John Prescott, City Manager, reported in 2014, the Vermillion Area Chamber and Development Company (VCDC) started construction on the infrastructure for the first phase of Bliss Pointe to provide additional housing opportunities for the community. John stated that the VCDC would like to begin development on the second phase of Bliss Pointe which is the undeveloped portion of the land, which is generally described as north of Rockwell Trail, east of Joplin Street, south of Slate Road, and west of Stanford Street. John stated that, in order to assist with infrastructure development costs, the VCDC has requested that the City create a Tax Increment Financing (TIF) District. John stated that the City Council approved the boundaries for TIF District #7 at the February 16, 2021 meeting as Outlot A, Bliss Pointe Addition. John noted that, later on this agenda, there is a Final Plat to further divide the TIF district into blocks and dedicate the public right-of-way. John noted that the VCDC is the current owner of the entire property and plans to market the property for different types of single-family housing. John reported that, in order to prepare the area for development of housing, infrastructure such as water, sanitary sewer, storm sewer, paving, street lights, electric, natural gas, and mailboxes need to be installed. John stated that the VCDC is completing the purchase of the property and has limited funds to develop the infrastructure to prepare lots that are ready for residential construction. John stated that the City contributes to any development by paying for the oversizing of items that benefit the entire community such as oversized paving costs, stabilization of streets, and storm sewer improvements but the bulk of the infrastructure development costs are the responsibility of the developer. John stated that a TIF District has been proposed to assist with infrastructure development costs and is needed to help with funding the improvements. John stated that the VCDC and City have been in discussions with several local entities who will be the bond holders. John stated that these entities would loan the City money to fund the improvements which the City will then grant the funding to the VCDC who will use the money to pay the contractors for the TIF Plan project costs. John stated that the property taxes generated by the development inside the TIF District will be the primary source over a maximum 20-year life used to repay the entities who loaned the funds to the City. John noted that the City is not guaranteeing the bonds. John noted that, should the tax revenue not be generated or sufficient to fully repay the bond holders, the City is not responsible for the difference. John noted that the funding arrangement is similar to TIF #6 which funded the infrastructure for the first phase of the Bliss Pointe development. John reported that state statutes require that a Project Plan be prepared for each TIF District. John stated that the Plan for TIF #7 included in the packet, provides information on the existing conditions of the TIF District and what is 7 anticipated to be diverted from the City, County, School District, and Water District in the property taxes over the next 20 years. John noted that the TIF plan provides for private placement revenue bonds in the amount of $1,980,000 for the project. John noted that the Plan provides information on the overall project costs and uses of the TIF funds. John stated that the infrastructure numbers are pretty solid as bids have been opened on almost all of these costs. John noted that the actual assessed value of future construction, how quickly housing will be built, and the corresponding tax rates are unknown. John stated that the TIF #7 Project Plan was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their March 8, 2021 meeting with a recommendation of adoption of the TIF #7 Project Plan. Discussion followed. 65-21 After reading the same once, Alderman Holland moved adoption of the following: RESOLUTION ADOPTING PROJECT PLAN FOR TAX INCREMENTAL DISTRICT NUMBER SEVEN BLISS POINTE DEVELOPMENT PHASE 2 WHEREAS, the City Council and Planning and Zoning Commission of the City of Vermillion, South Dakota (the “City”) in pursuing housing development efforts has here to fore created Tax Incremental District Number Seven; and WHEREAS, this Tax Incremental District was created on February 16, 2021 to aid infrastructure funding for the Bliss Pointe Development Phase 2 in the City of Vermillion; and WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion’s Planning and Zoning Commission has considered and approved the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District Number Seven; and WHEREAS, the Project Plan for Tax Incremental District Number Seven is hereby found to be feasible and in conformity with the City’s Master Plan.

Mayor Collier-Wise declared the motion adopted. D. Resolution approving the issuance of sale of Tax Incremental revenue bonds for TIF #7 John Prescott, City Manager, reported that the TIF Plan just adopted provides for the issuance of a Tax Incremental Revenue Bond to finance the improvements for TIF #7. John stated that the VCDC and City have been in discussion with several local entities which will be bond holders. The bonds will be issued by the City and the proceeds provided as grants to the VCDC to fund the TIF plan improvements. John stated that the property taxes generated by the development within the TIF district will be collected by the County and transferred to the City as TIF revenues. John reported that the City will disburse the TIF revenue funds to the bond holders as interest and principal payments until the bonds are retired, and any other advances are repaid, or 20 years whichever comes first. John noted that, for the City to issue a bond, the resolution included in the packet is required to be adopted which becomes effective 20 days after publication. John stated that the resolution was prepared by Bond Council, Meierhenry Sargent, LLC, to provide for the issuance of up to $1,980,000 of private placement tax incremental revenue bonds to be repaid from the tax increment revenues collected from TIF #7. John noted that following the effective date of the bond resolution Meierhenry Sargent, LLC will prepare the bonds for the negotiated sale to the local entities.

Agreement to Construct Public Infrastructure by Private Development with the Vermillion Chamber of Commerce and Development Company, Owner of Outlot A, Bliss Pointe Addition, City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota. Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported the Vermillion Chamber and Development Company (VCDC) is in the process of constructing phase two of the Bliss Pointe residential development. Jose noted that, as part of this project, the VCDC, as the developer, is constructing public infrastructure and requesting reimbursement from the City for oversized items as part of the project. Jose stated that the public infrastructure being built consists of streets, water mains, sanitary sewers, and storm sewers. Jose reported that when a public infrastructure project is requested by the public or a developer, the City offers three options to them. The three options are: (1) project is completed by the City and assessed to the developer (construction cost and a 8% fiscal fee); or (2) the project is completed by the City with the plans being done by a consultant (construction cost and cost of consultant); or (3) the project is completed entirely by the developer. Jose reviewed the contents of agreement between the City and the VCDC that sets out all of the expectations from the City, as well as the expectations from the VCDC. Jose reported that this project has already been bid publicly by the 14 VCDC. Jose noted that, assuming that no change orders or additional quantities are needed, the City would be responsible for $269,477.52. Jose stated that this amount includes all of the oversized items (cement stabilization, additional excavation, the cost for 1-inch of concrete pavement, and all of the storm sewer infrastructure). Jose reported that City funds will need to be revised during the 2021 budget review session to account for the $269,477.52. Jose recommended authorizing the Mayor to sign the Agreement to Construct Public Infrastructure by Private Development with the VCDC.

Mike stated that the reimbursement resolution will allow the City to reimburse costs incurred prior to the bond closing. Mike recommended approval of the resolution.

FOR THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF VERMILLION, SOUTH DAKOTA By _________________________________ Kelsey Collier-Wise, Mayor ATTEST: By______________________________ Michael D. Carlson, Finance Officer The motion was seconded by Alderman Willson. Discussion followed and the question of the adoption of the Resolution was presented for a roll call vote of the Governing Body was as follows: Hellwege-Y, Holland-Y, 16 Humphrey-Y, Jennewein-Y, Letellier-Y, Price-Y, Ward-Y, Willson-Y, Collier-Wise-Y. Mayor Collier-Wise declared the motion adopted. G. Final Plat of Blocks 7, 8, 9, and 10 in Bliss Pointe Addition to the City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota. (Outlot A of Bliss Pointe Addition) Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that Banner Associates have submitted a final plat on behalf of the owner, the Vermillion Area Chamber and Development Company (VCDC). Jose stated that the area to be platted is roughly 15-acres in area and is bordered on the west by lots fronting Joplin Street, on the north by Slate Road, on the east by Stanford Street, and on the south by the lots fronting Rockwell Trail. Jose reported that this plat creates all of the blocks, which will later be divided into lots. Jose stated that the plat dedicates all of the proposed right-of- ways, with the exception of anything occurring within Block 7. Jose noted that all of the required utility easements are also being dedicated along the periphery of each individual block. Jose reported that, regarding Block 7, at this point the VCDC has not made a decision if they will be constructing a public alley, a private street, or no street. Jose stated that, depending on their decision, additional meetings will need to occur to have their plan reviewed. Jose noted that, if VCDC decide on constructing a public alley, both a preliminary plat and final plat will need to be approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council. Jose noted that additionally, the right-of-ways need to be dedicated so that the public improvements are constructed within the public’s domain. Jose reported that the City Council is also being asked to name the blank streets within the plat. Jose reported that the VCDC proposed in 2014 that the streets be named after artists to promote Vermillion as the arts and cultural capital of South Dakota. Jose stated that the VCDC’s suggestion was “Whitman” in recognition of Walt Whitman. Jose noted that there was discussion at the noon meeting on the proposed name. Discussion followed on the street name for the plat. Alderman Price recommended naming the street “Zitkala-Sa” who was a Yankton Dakota writer, editor, translator, musician and educator. Discussion followed. 69-21 After reading the same once, Alderman Holland moved approval of the following plat with the name of the street being “Zitkala-Sa”: WHEREAS IT APPEARS that the owners thereof have caused a plat to be made of the following described real property: Blocks 7, 8, 9, and 10 in Bliss Pointe Addition to the City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota for approval. BE IT RESOLVED that the attached and foregoing plat has been submitted to and a report and recommendations thereon made by the Vermillion 17 Planning Commission to the City Council of Vermillion which has approved the same. BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that access shall be granted to the lot in accordance with the City of Vermillion street access and driveway approach policy, which requires an application permit. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the attached and foregoing plat has been submitted to the Governing Body of the City of Vermillion which has examined the same, and it appears that the systems of streets and alleys set forth therein conforms to the system of streets and alleys of the existing plat of such city, and that all taxes and special assessments, if any, upon the tract or subdivision have been fully paid and that such plat and survey thereof have been executed according to law, and the same is hereby accordingly approved.

John stated that the City Council previously approved Emergency Ordinance 1419, 1422, 1425 and 1429 to require the posting of a sign at buildings open to the public stating that “Face Masks are expected per City Resolution”. John noted that emergency Ordinances or resolutions are only valid for a maximum of 60 days and emergency Ordinance No. 1429 will expire on April 16, 2021. John reported that emergency Ordinance No. 1432 is very similar to previously adopted Emergency Ordinances. John stated that emergency Ordinance No. 1432 requires a business to have signage which reads Face Mask or Face Coverings are Expected per City Resolution. John stated the signs are available for free at City Hall and the VCDC office and a business does not have to use the templates which are available on the City’s website. John noted that a business would need to provide the same message that face masks or face coverings are expected. John stated that the proposed ordinance is an emergency ordinance to provide the City Council with the ability to more quickly implement and continue the requirement to address the ongoing, immediate health issue. John stated Emergency Ordinance No. 1432 is drafted to become effective April 17, 2021 as Emergency Ordinance 18 No. 1429, which addressed the same goal, expires on April 16, 2021. John noted that other than dates, Emergency Ordinance No. 1432 is very similar to Emergency Ordinance No. 1429. John recommended first reading of Emergency Ordinance No. 1432. Discussion followed on masks noting that the emergency ordinance and emergency resolution are reviewed at each regular meeting during their 60 life and can be changed at any meeting. 70-21 Mayor Collier-Wise read the title to the above mentioned Ordinance and Alderman Holland moved adoption of the following Resolution: BE IT RESOLVED that the minutes of this meeting shall show that the title to proposed Ordinance No. 1432 entitled an Emergency Ordinance to Require Signage at the Entrance to Buildings Open to the Public Stating That Face Coverings Are Expected to Help Slow the Spread of COVID 19 (Coronavirus),of the City of Vermillion, South Dakota has been read and the Ordinance has been considered for the first time in its present form and content at this meeting being a regularly called meeting of the Governing Body of the City on this 15th day of March, 2021 at the Council Chambers in City Hall in the manner prescribed by SDCL 9-19-7 as amended.

Mayor Collier- Wise declared the motion adopted. I. Easement agreement with Clay-Union Electric for Waage Tract 2 Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the City owns a parcel of land described as Waage Tract 2, which is located south of Burbank road that is the site of Main Lift 1 for the Wastewater Department. Jose stated that there is currently an overhead electric distribution line owned by Clay-Union Electric (CUE), which is laid on and across this property. Jose reported that CUE approached City staff regarding an easement to convert the overhead line to an underground system. Jose reported that staff from each organization met and came to an agreement for a location of the easement that would work for both parties. Jose stated that the location of the easement has been drawn up by a licensed surveyor and has been included as an exhibit to the attached document. Jose stated that the easement has been reviewed and approved by attorneys representing each organization. Jose recommended approval of the easement.

Amendment No. 1 to Joint Powers Maintenance and Encroachment and Financial Agreement between the City and the Department of Transportation Regarding Highway 50 (Bypass) Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the City has been working with the South Dakota Department of Transportation (DOT) to construct a storm sewer along the south ditch of the Highway 50 (Bypass) from Dakota Street to Over Drive. Jose reported that, on January 18, 2021, the City entered into an agreement with the DOT that dictated the maintenance and financial responsibilities of both parties. Jose noted that, of importance, was the fact that the City would be responsible for the storm sewer and light poles installed along the entire DOT project. Jose stated that the University of South Dakota (USD) has been working with the DOT to design the street lights so banners can be installed in the future. Jose noted that, due to the fact that the DOT does not design street lights for this type of use, any increase in cost is passed down to the entity making the request. Jose reported that USD requested that 12 street lights be modified to allow for banners. Jose stated that the street lights which USD requested the modification on are in the area between Plum Street and Dakota Street. Jose reported that the DOT is requiring the City to be involved due to the fact that the street lights will be owned by the City. Jose reported that, in addition to these lights, the City asked the DOT to also include 12 additional street lights to accommodate banners. Jose noted that these additional lights, that would support banners, would be between Dakota Street and Princeton Street. Jose stated that this would allow for banners along most of the entrances to the City from the Bypass. Jose reported that the amendment will require that the City pay an additional $4,802.88 for the modification to the proposed 24 street lights along the Bypass. The City’s budget will have to be amended to cover this cost. Jose stated that the City is working with USD to cover the modifications to 12 of the street lights they requested at a cost of $2,401.44. Jose recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Powers Maintenance and Encroachment and Financial Agreement with the DOT. Discussion followed. 72-21 Alderman Willson moved approval to authorize the Mayor to sign Amendment No. 1 to the Joint Powers Maintenance and Encroachment and Financial Agreement with the DOT in the amount of $4,802.88.
