6. Public Hearings
A. Consider a lease of City owned building at 12 Church Street (former
Carnegie Library building)
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that the City has leased the former
Carnegie Library building at 12 Church Street since 1979. John noted that
Minick, Nelson & McCulloch, Attorneys at Law, were the first to lease
3
the building after the Library moved out. John stated that Mr. McCulloch
was a continual tenant from that time until his passing in September. He
noted that the lease with Mr. McCulloch expired prior to his death. John
noted that the City does not have a current lease with the current tenant.
John noted that the leases have been for a three-year term with a series
of three-year renewals available. John stated that the proposed lease is
for one year and provides for three 3-year renewal options. John noted
that the City has the option to discontinue the lease with a six-month
notice to the tenant prior to the end of the original term or any of the
renewal options and the tenant has the option to end the lease with 90
days notice to the City prior to the end of the original or any of the
renewal options. John noted that the tenant is responsible for cleaning
the sidewalk, lawn care, all utilities, and insuring the building. John
stated that the current rent is $500 with an increase to $550 a month
and $600 a month with the second and three-year renewal options.
Council Member Ward inquired on if the Council is obligated to open this
type of lease up for bid. John noted that the City is required to have
a public hearing, but bids are not required.

Council Member Holland moved approval of the lease of the City owned
building at 12 Church Street. Council Member Hellwege seconded the
motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Collier-Wise declared the motion
adopted.
7. Old Business - None
8. New Business
A. First reading of Ordinance 1453 amending Title 1 General Provisions;
Chapter 11: Wards and Boundaries; Section 11.02 Boundaries to establish
new ward boundaries to reflect the results of the 2020 Census.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported on Ordinance No. 1453 amending
wards and boundaries to reflect the results of the 2020 Census. John
noted that the courts have interpreted this as an honest and good faith
effort to create districts as equal in population as is practicable. John
noted that apportionment with over 10% deviation is often determined to
be malapportioned. John stated that the City Council reviewed a potential
option to adjust ward boundaries at the noon meeting on January 3, 2022.
John noted that the proposed ordinance would move two blocks from the
Central ward to the Northeast ward. John noted that the two-block area
is bounded by E. Clark Street on the north, N. University Street on the
west, E. Cedar Street on the south, and N. Pine Street on the east. John
stated that all other ward boundaries in the City would remain the same.

16-21
Mayor Collier-Wise read the title to the above-mentioned Ordinance and
Council Member 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. 1453 entitled An Ordinance to amend Title 1
General Provisions; Chapter 11: Wards and Boundaries; Section 11.02
Boundaries to establish new ward boundaries to reflect the results of
the 2020 Census 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 18th day of January, 2022 at the
Council Chambers in City Hall in the manner prescribed by SDCL 9-19-7 as
amended.
The motion was seconded by Council Member Hellwege. After discussion the
question of adoption of the Resolution was put to a vote of the Governing
Body and 9 members voted in favor of and 0 members voted in opposition
to the motion. Mayor Collier-Wise declared the motion adopted.
B. Change order #1 for Landfill Cell 6 Construction & Cell 2-3 Closure
project.
Jose Domniguez, City Engineer reported on a change order for construction
of landfill cell 6 and closure of Cell 2-3. Jose noted that, on September
8, 2020, the City Council entered into an agreement with Burns & McDonnell
(Burns) for the design of a new landfill cell and the closure of two
landfill cells. Jose noted that, on May 17, 2021, the City Council entered
into another agreement with Burns for the construction administration of
the landfill construction project that they designed. Jose noted that,
on June 7, 2021, the City accepted a bid from Rounds Construction for
$1,389,037.57 for the construction of cell 6 and the closure of cells 2
and 3.
Jose stated that the change order being considered by the City Council
is the only, and final, change order for the project. Jose noted that
this change order balances out the project and informs the City Council
on where the additional expenses, or costs, occurred, but in this
instance the change order will be a reduction of the original cost of
the project by $40,111.08. Jose stated that the savings were achieved
mainly by minimizing the grading in the project. Jose noted that this
project is being paid by a combination of DANR grants and loans, and
direct City funds with most of the funds from a DANR loan. Jose noted
that the reduction in cost will benefit the City since it will reduce
the amount of the loan. The City is paying for the project from the Joint
Powers Fund. Jose stated that the new total cost for the City will be
$1,348,926.49.

17-22
Council Member Willson moved approval of Change Order #1 for Landfill
Cell 6 Construction & Cell 2-3 Closure project. Council Member Humphrey
seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Collier-Wise declared
the motion adopted.
C. Resolution Authorizing the purchase of a Fire and EMS Department
pumper truck
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on the resolution to purchase a
Fire and EMS Department pumper truck. Jose noted that City staff has been
discussing the purchase of this equipment for several years and, based
on discussions with vendors, the amount estimated to purchase the
equipment has been adjusted a few times. Jose noted that since 2018
prices have continued to climb starting at $410,000 (2018) to $825,531
(2022). Jose stated that the City has been warned that prices on the
equipment will go up approximately 5% by the end of the month which would
increase the price by over $41,000. Jose stated that staff believes
prices will not remain steady and will continue to rise.
Jose stated that staff has been working with a few vendors to create the
most fiscally responsible and useful piece of equipment for the City.
Jose noted that staff would like to take advantage of an attractive
Sourcewell (formerly known as National Joint Powers Alliance) bid with
Rosenbauer. Jose noted that, in July 2010, state law changed allowing
purchases to be made off other governmental entity bids or cooperative
agreements outside of the state. Jose noted that the quote received from
Rosenbauer was for the construction of a pumper truck with a Rosenbauer
Commander Chassis for $825,531.00. Jose stated that, as part of the
quote, the City would receive a $12,500 deduction from the total cost if
the chassis is paid when delivered to the body installer with the cost
of the chassis at $325,494.00. Jose noted that the local dealer for
Rosenbauer, Heiman Fire Equipment, from Sioux Falls, has agreed to honor
the Sourcewell price for a pumper truck meeting the City specifications.
Jose noted that the Equipment Replacement Fund will pay for a portion of
this equipment in 2022 which would then lower the amount required for
the purchase in 2023.
18-22
After reading the same once, Council Member Holland moved adoption of
the following:
RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF
A FIRE DEPARTMENT PUMPER TRUCK

agreements with purchasing agents in any other state for purchases under
a joint agreement or contract at the accepted bid price and the
concurrence of said bidder; and

awarded by Sourcewell (formerly known as the National Joint Powers
Alliance) for a pumper truck from Rosenbauer’s dealer, Heiman Fire
Equipment, Sioux Falls, SD, in the amount of $825,531.00 offers an
advantageous price to the City for said item.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Governing Body of the City of
Vermillion, South Dakota that the City Manager or the City Finance
Officer is hereby authorized to purchase a new Rosenbauer Pumper,
complete with Rosenbauer Commander Chassis from Heiman Fire Equipment,
of Sioux Falls, South Dakota for a price of $825,531.

D. Revised Addendum #1 to County and City Building Construction and Use
Agreement for Joint Law Enforcement Center for custodial services.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that the City and County have
traditionally employed an individual who cleans the Law Enforcement
Center. John noted that a portion of the wage is paid by the City through
the Police Department budget and the 2022 City budget includes funding
for approximately 550 hours of wages plus FICA, workers compensation
insurance, etc. for this individual. John noted that the balance of the
wage is paid by Clay County. John stated that Clay County will be hiring
a Facilities Management Director who will oversee this position where
currently, the Police Chief and Sheriff oversee this position. John noted
that the County has requested the City Council approve Addendum #1 to
the Joint Law Enforcement Center Use Agreement where the City pays a
7
total annual fee of $10,000 to the County in quarterly installments for
cleaning services. John noted that since this was presented to the
Council on January 3rd the Clay County Commissioners have adjusted two
items in the addendum. John noted that one of the two changes provides
for the amount to be adjusted annually, where the original addendum said
that the amount may be adjusted by mutual agreement annually. John noted
that the second change is the final paragraph of the addendum where a
30-day notice is now required for amendments, modifications, or
cancellation.

Center. John noted that a portion of the wage is paid by the City through
the Police Department budget and the 2022 City budget includes funding
for approximately 550 hours of wages plus FICA, workers compensation
insurance, etc. for this individual. John noted that the balance of the
wage is paid by Clay County. John stated that Clay County will be hiring
a Facilities Management Director who will oversee this position where
currently, the Police Chief and Sheriff oversee this position. John noted
that the County has requested the City Council approve Addendum #1 to
the Joint Law Enforcement Center Use Agreement where the City pay a total
annual fee of $10,000 to the County in quarterly installments for
cleaning services. John noted that the annual fee could be increased if

the change.

change to be brought forward for consideration is to move two blocks from
the Central Ward into the Northeast Ward. All other boundaries would
remain the same. Information on the proposed change will be on the City’s
website later this week.

Council Agenda Memo
From: John Prescott, City Manager
Meeting: January 18, 2022
Subject: Consider a Lease agreement for 12 Church Street
Presenter: John Prescott
Background: The City has leased the former Carnegie Library building at 12 Church
Street since 1979. Minick, Nelson & McCulloch, Attorneys at Law, were the first to lease
the building after the Library moved out. Mr. McCulloch was a continual tenant from that
time until his passing in September. The lease with Mr. McCulloch expired prior to his
death. The City does not have a current lease with the current tenant. A resolution of
intent setting a public hearing for January 18 was approved at the last meeting. State
statute 9-12-5.2 requires a notice of intent to be adopted to lease to a private individual
when for an amount exceeding $500 and exceeding 120 days. A public notice was
advertised for a meeting at this date and time.
Discussion: Generally, the leases have been for a three-year term with a series of three-
year renewals available. The proposed lease is for one year and provides for three 3-year
renewal options. The City has the option to discontinue the lease with a six-month notice
to the tenant prior to the end of the original term or any of the renewal options. The
tenant has the option to end the lease with 90 days notice to the City prior to the end of
the original or any of the renewal options. The tenant is responsible for cleaning the
sidewalk, lawn care, all utilities, and insuring the building.
Financial Consideration: The current $500 monthly rent payment from 12 Church Street
is placed in the City’s General Fund. The rent would increase to $550 a month and $600 a
month with the second and third three-year renewals options.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approval of the lease of 12
Church Street to Brent Matter.

Council Agenda Memo
From: John Prescott, City Manager
Meeting: January 18, 2022
Subject: First reading of Ordinance 1453 to amend the City Council ward boundaries
Presenter: John Prescott
Background: The 14th Amendment to the United States Constitution guarantees equality
of voting. The courts have interpreted this as an honest and good faith effort to create
districts as equal in population as is practicable. Apportionment with over 10% deviation
is often determined to be malapportioned. The City Council reviewed a potential option
to adjust ward boundaries at the Noon meeting on January 3, 2022.
Discussion: The proposed ordinance would move two blocks from the Central ward to
the Northeast ward. The two-block area is bounded by E. Clark Street on the north, N.
University Street on the west, E. Cedar Street on the south, and N. Pine Street on the east.
All other ward boundaries in the City would remain the same. The optimal ward
population is 2,924 people. Below is a chart showing the ward population and deviation
with the existing boundaries and the proposed change.
2020 Population Deviation Population with Population Deviation
Population Deviation Percentage proposed change Deviation Percentage
Central 3,082 +158 +5.40 3,028 +104 +3.56
Northeast 2,858 -66 -2.26 2,912 -12 -.41
Northwest 2,874 -50 -1.71 2,874 -50 -1.71
Southeast 2,881 -43 -1.47 2,881 -43 -1.47
The current total deviation is 7.66% with no change to boundaries. With the proposed
change, the total deviation would be 5.27%.
Financial Consideration: Publication of the ordinance is the only cost.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approval of the first
reading of Ordinance 1453 to set the City Council ward boundaries.
PROPOSED ORDINANCE 1453
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE I, GENERAL PROVISIONS; CHAPTER 11, WARDS AND
BOUNDARIES; SECTION 11.02, BOUNDARIES, OF THE 2008 REVISED ORDINANCES FOR THE
CITY OF VERMILLION, AMENDING THE WARD BOUNDARIES.
BE IT ORDAINED, by the governing body of the City of Vermillion, South Dakota that Section 11.02 be
amended to read as follows:
§ 11.02 BOUNDARIES.
The boundaries of wards, as shown on the Ward Map in Appendix A of this chapter, are hereby incorporated by
reference as the official boundaries of all wards in the city.
Dated at Vermillion, South Dakota this 7th day of February, 2022.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Jose Dominguez, City Engineer
Meeting: January 18, 2022
Subject: Change Order #1 for Landfill Cell 6 Construction & Cell 2-3 Closure Project
Presenter: Jose Dominguez
Background: On September 8, 2020, the City Council entered into an agreement with
Burns & McDonnell (Burns) for the design of a new landfill cell and the closure of two
landfill cells. The design was for the creation of cell number six and the closure of cells
number two and three.
On May 17, 2021, the City Council entered into another agreement with Burns for the
construction administration of the landfill construction project that they designed.
On June 7, 2021, the City accepted a bid from Rounds Construction for $1,389,037.57 for
the construction of cell 6 and the closure of cells 2 and 3.
Discussion: The change order being considered by the City Council is the only, and final,
change order for the project. This change order balances out the project and informs the
City Council on where the additional expenses, or costs, occurred. In this instance the
change order will be a reduction of the original cost of the project by $40,111.08. The
savings were achieved mainly by minimizing the grading in the project.
Financial Consideration: This project is being paid by a combination of DANR grants
and loans, and direct City funds. Most of the funds were from a DANR loan. The reduction
in cost will benefit the City since it will reduce the amount of the loan. The City is paying
for the project from the Joint Powers Fund. If approved, the new total cost for the City will
be $1,348,926.49.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approval of Change Order
No. 1.
8. New Business; item c
Council Agenda Memo
From: José Domínguez, City Engineer
Meeting: January 18, 2022
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of a Fire and EMS Department
Pumper Truck
Presenter: José Domínguez
Background: In 2023, one of the vehicles that will be replaced is a Fire and EMS
Department pumper truck. The purchase of this equipment was not discussed during the
2021 budget sessions due to the uncertainty regarding the length of construction,
delivery, and material prices.
Discussion: City Staff has been discussing the purchase of this equipment for several
years. Based on discussions with vendors, the amount estimated to purchase the
equipment has been adjusted a few times. For example, in 2018 we estimated the cost at
$410,000 in 2019 it went up to $732,000. The last adjustment is the quote being
considered tonight for $825,531. Additionally, we have been warned that prices on the
equipment will go up approximately 5% by the end of the month. This would increase
the price by a little over $41,000. Since starting discussions with the vendors a year ago,
prices have increased approximately 15%, from $717,000 to the current price quoted.
Staff believes that prices will not remain steady and will continue to rise.
In addition to the price of the equipment, the length of construction is problematic.
Because this equipment is of chassis/body construction, we will need to pay for the
chassis once it is delivered to the body installer. The chassis would be delivered to the
body installer sometime in 2022. The body installer then would complete the
construction and deliver the completed equipment to the City around April 2023. At that
point, the City would pay the remainder of the cost.
Staff has been working with a few vendors to create the most fiscally responsible and use
piece of equipment for the City. Based on the discussions, Staff would like to take
advantage of an attractive Sourcewell (formerly known as National Joint Powers
Alliance) bid with Rosenbauer. In July 2010, state law changed allowing purchases to be
made off other governmental entity bids or cooperative agreements outside of the state.
8. New Business; item c
The quote received from Rosenbauer was for the construction of a pumper truck with a
Rosenbauer Commander Chassis for $825,531.00. As part of the quote, the City would
receive a $12,500 deduction from the total cost if the chassis is paid when delivered to
the body installer. The cost of the chassis is $325,494.00. The local dealer for
Rosenbauer, Heiman Fire Equipment, from Sioux Falls, has agreed to honor the
Sourcewell prices for a pumper truck meeting the City specifications.
Financial Consideration: The Equipment Replacement Fund is planned to have
approximately $732,000 for the purchase of the pumper truck in 2023. The original plan
would have had the entire payment take place in 2023. Although placing the order for the
equipment in 2022 wasn’t planned, the Fund does have the required money to cover the
chassis cost of $325,494.00. Paying for a portion of this equipment in 2022 would then
lower the amount required for the purchase in 2023.
Another item to consider is that Staff has also been discussing the sale of the existing
pumper truck. At this point it is estimated that the sale of the old truck would generate
considerably more money than the estimated $4,000. Once sold, this money would then
go into the Equipment Replacement Fund.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approving the Resolution to
purchase a 2023 Rosenbauer Pumper, complete with Rosenbauer Commander chassis
from Heiman Fire Equipment for a price of $825,531.00 and authorizing the City
Manager or City Finance Officer to sign the purchase agreement.
RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE OF
A FIRE DEPARTMENT PUMPER TRUCK
WHEREAS, SDCL 5-18A-37 authorizes a governmental entity to enter into agreements with
purchasing agents in any other state for purchases under a joint agreement or contract at the
accepted bid price and the concurrence of said bidder; and
WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion has reviewed and determined that the bid awarded by
Sourcewell (formerly known as the National Joint Powers Alliance) for a pumper truck from
Rosenbauer’s dealer, Heiman Fire Equipment, Sioux Falls, SD, in the amount of $825,531.00
offers an advantageous price to the City for said item.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Governing Body of the City of Vermillion,
South Dakota that the City Manager or the City Finance Officer is hereby authorized to purchase
a new Rosenbauer Pumper, complete with Rosenbauer Commander Chassis from Heiman
Fire Equipment, of Sioux Falls, South Dakota for a price of $825,531.

Council Agenda Memo
From: John Prescott, City Manager
Meeting: January 18, 2022
Subject: Revised Addendum #1 to Joint Law Enforcement Center agreement
Presenter: John Prescott
Background: The City and County have traditionally employed an individual who cleans
the law enforcement center. A portion of the wage is paid by the City through the Police
Department budget. The 2022 City budget includes funding for approximately 550 hours
of wages plus FICA, workers compensation insurance, etc. for this individual. The
balance of the wage is paid by Clay County. Clay County will be hiring a Facilities
Management Director who will oversee this position. Currently, the Police Chief and
Sheriff oversee this position.
The County prepared Addendum #1 to the Joint Law Enforcement Center Use
Agreement. This addendum was presented to the City in late December and approved by
the City Council at the January 3, 2022 meeting. The County Commission revised the
Addendum at their January 11, 2022 meeting.
Discussion: There are two changes to the version signed by the County Commission
versus the document approved by the City Council. The City would still pay a total
annual fee of $10,000 to the County in quarterly installments for cleaning services. One
of the two changes provides for the amount to be changed annually. The original
addendum said that the amount may be adjusted by mutual agreement annually.
The second change is the final paragraph of the addendum. A 30-day notice is now
required for amendments, modifications, or cancellation.
Financial Consideration: The 2022 annual cost is comparable to the budgeted amount.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approval of revised
Addendum #1 to the County and City Building Construction and Use Agreement for
Joint Law Enforcement Center for custodial services.
