The Local Ford dealer then put in another order for the correct vehicle. The Local Ford dealer than received notice from the Ford Manufacturers that all orders were cancelled and they would have to put in new orders at their increased prices.

Public Hearings 7. Old Business A. Second reading of Ordinance 1477 amending City of Vermillion Code of Ordinances Title XV, Land Usage, Chapter 155, Zoning Regulations, Section 155.008, Definitions, to Include Definitions for “Malt Beverage”, “ Brewpub”, “Farm Winery”, “Microbrewery”, and “Wine Manufacturer”; Section 155.036, CB Central Business District, (A) Permitted Uses, to Include “Brewpub” as a Permitted Use, (B) Conditional Uses, to Include “Farm Winery”, “Microbrewery”, and “Wine Manufacturer” as Conditional Uses; Section 155.037, GB General Business District, (A) Permitted Uses, to Include “Brewpub” as a Permitted Use, 3 (B) Conditional Uses, to Include “Farm Winery”, “Microbrewery”, and “Wine Manufacturer” as Conditional Uses; Section 155.039, GI General Industrial District, (B) Conditional Uses, to Include “Brewpub”, “Farm Winery”, “Microbrewery”, and “Wine Manufacturer” as Conditional Uses; and to Create Section 155.084, Brewpub, Farm Winery, Microbrewery, and Wine Manufacturer. Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on the second reading of Ordinance No. 1477. Jose noted that there has been an increased interest in the community to have malt beverage manufacturers within the city. The current ordinance does not allow for these uses explicitly. Conversely, the ordinance does not prohibit these uses. Jose stated that the proposed ordinance amendments are an attempt to codify uses associated with malt beverage and wine manufacturing. The latter has already been occurring within the city as a non-conforming use at the winery on the west end of the city. Jose noted that the proposed amendments will change the definition section, the uses allowed in certain districts, and create a new section that will have criteria for the uses. Jose stated that staff is proposing to include five new definitions. Four of these (i.e. “Malt Beverage”, “Farm Winery”, “Microbrewery”, and “Wine Manufacturer”) direct the reader to the State statute that defines the term. The remaining term, “Brewpub”, is defined in the ordinance as a brewer that is also an eating or drinking establishment. The State does not define “brewpub”. Jose noted that the amendment also considers the location where the four new uses will be allowed. “Brewpubs” are recommended to be a permitted use in the CB Central Business and GB General Business districts while “microbrewery”, “farm winery” and “wine manufacturer” would be a conditional-use in these two districts. Additionally, all four uses would also be allowed in the GI General Industrial district as conditional-uses. Jose stated that the amendment creates a new section that states a criteria for each of the four uses. The criteria will inform the applicant of which license may be needed (e.g. malt beverage manufacturer’s license from the State, a City malt beverage license, a farm winery or wine manufacture’s license from the State). The criteria will dictate the area allowed for the brewing operation if the applicant also intends to serve food or alcohol and place a cap on the maximum production. Jose noted that the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission considered this item at their November 28th meeting. After discussion, the 4 Commission unanimously recommended that the Council adopt the ordinance amendment. Jose stated that Staff changed the units used to measure the wine manufactured. The document presented states “150,000-barrels”. This was supposed to read as “150,000-gallons”. Staff used the cap set by the State for “farm winery”. This is 150,000-gallons. For reference, 1- barrel of wine has 60-gallons. If the ordinance is approved without this change the Council would be setting a maximum of 9,000,000- gallons, which would be an illegal amount for a “farm winery” to manufacture. 5-23 Second reading of title to Ordinance No. 1473, entitled AN ORDINANCE AMENDING Title XV, Land Usage; Chapter 155, Zoning Regulations by amending Section 155.031, R-1 Residential District, subsection (A), Permitted Use, to include the “Bed and Breakfast Establishment” use as a permitted use; by amending Section 155.035, R-4 Manufactured Housing District, subsection (A), Permitted uses, to include “Neighborhood Utility Facility” use as a permitted use; and by amending Section 155.038, NC Neighborhood Commercial District, subsection (A) , Permitted uses, to include the “Neighborhood Utility Facility” use as a permitted use for the City of Vermillion, South Dakota.

Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. B. Change Order No. 4 for Highway 50 Drainage Improvements Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on Change Order No. 4 for Highway 50 Drainage Improvements. Jose noted that in 2021 the City hired Midland Contracting, Inc. to complete the City’s Highway 50 Drainage Improvements Project. This project was completed by Midland in 2021 with the final payment being issued in January 2022. Jose noted that prior to this change order the City had already approved three change orders. These change orders increased the contract price from $3,077,119.99 to $3,438,184.03. An increase of $361,064.04. Jose stated that, because the City received SRF funding, the City must issue a final change order to close out the funding. A final change order balances out all the items and shows where any savings or additional expenses occurred. Typically, the City does not issue a final change order if there are savings on the contract. However, the State requires a final change order regardless of savings accomplished. Jose noted that the change order being considered decreases the cost of the project by $39,252.20 to a new total of $3,398,931.82. There were several items that decreased the project cost. The largest of these items being not utilizing the “Contractor Furnished Topsoil”. This item was not used since enough topsoil was generated through construction. The change order also shows a few increases due to the State requiring additional work not originally covered in the contract. Jose stated that the project has already been paid for and no changes will need to be made to the City’s budget. 7-23 Council Member Hellwege moved approval of the Change Order No. 4 for Highway 50 Drainage Improvements. Council Member Humphrey seconded the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. C. 2023 Payroll Resolution John Prescott, City Manager, reported that State statute requires the publication of the complete list of all salaries of officers and employees of the City with the first meeting of the fiscal year. John stated that the City of Vermillion has traditionally passed a resolution at the start of each budget year adopting the salaries, which is then included in the meeting minutes. John noted that other 11 changes in salary or new employees during the course of the budget year are included with City Council minutes as the personnel actions take place. John noted that the three unions have accepted a 5% cost of living pay adjustment for calendar year 2023. John stated that the attached resolution also provides for a 5% increase for non-union, professional, and management employees as well as the City Council. John noted that the increase in minimum wage to $10.80 was included for applicable employees. 8-23 After reading the same once, Council Member Ward moved adoption of the following: CITY OF VERMILLION 2023 PAYROLL RESOLUTION WHEREAS, effective and responsive delivery of City services is dependent upon the employment of a highly competent and motivated workforce; and WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion, as an employer, makes periodic adjustments to wages and compensation for inflation and in comparison to other municipal employers; and WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion has previously approved collective bargaining agreements with AFSCME Local 1052 covering the calendar year 2023 that includes placement of employees on a wage schedule which generally provides a 2.5% increase in wages; and WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion has previously approved a collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 19 covering the calendar year 2023 that includes placement of employees on a wage schedule which generally provides a 2.5% increase in wages; and WHEREAS, the respective unions have accepted the City’s proposal to provide a cost of living adjustment for 2023 larger than provided for with the negotiated agreements; and WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion desires to increase wages and salaries for elected officials, management, professional, non-union, and union employees by 5% on January 1, 2023; and WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion, South Dakota, provides essential services that protect, serve, and support the health, safety, and well- being of the citizens and those visiting the community, and 12 WHEREAS, nearly all City of Vermillion employees qualify as either first responders or essential critical infrastructure workers according to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
