A. Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of a 2x4 ½-ton Short Box Pickup
Truck
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on a resolution to Purchase a
2x4 ½-ton Short Box Pickup Truck. Jose noted that, on November 1, 2021,
the City Council approved a resolution authorizing the purchase of
several vehicles. One of the vehicles was a 2022 2x4 ½-ton short box
pickup truck and a purchase order was placed with Vermillion Ford soon
after the approval of the resolution. Jose noted that this purchase was
3
discussed during the budget sessions in August 2021 and was included in
the 2022 equipment replacement schedule.
Jose stated that the vehicle ordered in November 2021 was delivered to
the City in May 2022, but was incorrectly ordered by the dealer and
promptly returned by the City without payment being issued. The dealer
did order a new vehicle, but the manufacturer voided the re-order and
asked all dealers to place new orders for those vehicles removed. Jose
noted that, at the same time, the manufacturer removed all price
protections for vehicles ordered in 2022. This meant that the price for
the vehicle re-ordered would change from the price originally agreed on
in November 2021. The City learned about the new price for the re-ordered
vehicle in December 2022.
Jose stated that staff proposes that the Council purchase the vehicle
which has been re-ordered from Vermillion Ford. The City can accomplish
this by following SDCL 5-18A-22(19). This statute allows the City to
purchase equipment that costs less than $50,000 without going to bid.
The new price for the vehicle would be $34,846. Although this price is
significantly more than the November 2021 price of $27,551, the new price
would have been similar to that if the City would have purchased from
the State bid in June 2022. Jose stated that the Equipment Replacement
Fund will have to be adjusted by $7,295 to account for the purchase of
this vehicle. This adjustment will be discussed at the 2023 budget review
sessions.
26-23
After reading the same once, Council Member Ward moved adoption of the
following:
RESOLUTION
AUTHORIZING THE PURCHASE
OF A 2x4 ½ - TON PICKUP TRUCK
WHEREAS, SDCL 5-18A-22(19) authorizes a governmental entity to purchase
any piece of equipment involving the expenditure of less than $50,000
without going to bid; and
WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion approached the local dealer, Vermillion
Ford, to see if the City could purchase a 2022 Ford F150 2x4; and
WHEREAS, after the prices from the local dealer were compared with the
state contract price, it was found that the local dealer’s price was
comparable to the state’s contract price; and
4
WHEREAS, this new resolution will replace the resolution approved by the
City Council on November 1, 2021 for the purchase of a 2022 Ford F150
2x4 for $27,551.00 from Vermillion Ford of Vermillion, South Dakota.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Governing Body of the City of
Vermillion, that the City Finance Officer is hereby authorized to
purchase a 2022 Ford F150 2x4 for $34,846.00 from Vermillion Ford of
Vermillion, South Dakota.
Dated at Vermillion, South Dakota this 6th day of February, 2023.

receipts. Alvey requested $200,000 in sales tax rebate.
Jim Goblirsch, Parks and Rec Director, asked Alvey if the park was going
to be accessible to the public due to part of the parks being taken
away.
Alvey noted that the money received from the rebate will go to purchasing
parks equipment and it is planned to be open to the public when school
is not in session.
Discussion followed on the sales tax rebate request.

5. Fire/EMS second penny transfer – Chief Matt Callahan
Matt Callahan, Fire Chief, presented a proposal to transfer money from
Ambulance to a Fire line item in the second penny fund. Callahan noted
that due to the state funding two Cardiac Monitors there will be $70,000
left over in that budget. Callahan noted that, with the purchase of the
new fire truck and increased prices, the Fire budget has already been
expended with more equipment needed to be purchased. Callahan requested
to move the $70,000 from EMS to the Fire budget. Discussion followed on
the transfer of funds.
6. Fire/EMS Staffing – Chief Matt Callahan\
Matt Callahan, Fire Chief, reviewed the current staff set up in the EMS
Department. Callahan informed the Council on the difficulties of
staffing due to the increased call loads. Callahan proposed hiring an
additional full time Firefighter Paramedic due to increased calls and
difficulties of filling shifts. Discussion followed on hiring a fulltime
position.
Callahan noted that the new ambulance is in the Fire Bay at City Hall
if any council is wanting to look at it. Concluding the meeting Council
members looked at the new ambulance.

A. Second reading of Ordinance 1478 amending City of Vermillion Code of
Ordinances Title IX, General Regulations; Chapter 90, Health and Safety;
3
Nuisances; Section 90.01 to Amend the Hours of Noises Prohibited to
Provide Consistent Hours
John Prescott, City Manager, reported on the second reading of Ordinance
No. 1478 amending City of Vermillion Code of Ordinances Title IX, General
Regulations; Chapter 90, Health and Safety; Nuisances; Section 90.01 to
Amend the Hours of Noises Prohibited to Provide Consistent Hours. John
noted that the City currently has maximum permissible sound levels in
effect from 11:00 p.m. until 7:00 a.m. with another set of maximum
permissible sound levels from 7:00 a.m. until 11:00 p.m. John noted that
staff identified that there was an inconsistency in the hours used in
section 90.01(2)(b) of City Code. John noted that the language states
that the maximum permissible sound levels are during the hours of 11:00
p.m. to 7:00 a.m. However, the corresponding chart does not use the same
hours to distinguish between the maximum permissible sound levels.
John stated that staff has proposed amending Chapter 90, making the hours
of maximum permissible sound levels consistent in City Code. Currently
the chart and the language both display different hours. By having
different hours, it can be confusing as to what the maximum permissible
sound level is between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. In order to change this,
the City must amend the Code of Ordinances.
John noted that the ordinance would make the chart consistent with the
language in the code. With the ordinance, the chart would display two
sections, one with noise levels for the hours of 11:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m.
and another section for 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. The chart will be
consistent with the language allowing for those to properly plan any
event that emits noise. The first reading of the ordinance was approved
at the January 3rd meeting. There have been no changes to the ordinance
since the first reading.
17-23
Second reading of title to Ordinance No. 1478, entitled amending City of
Vermillion Code of Ordinances Title IX, General Regulations; Chapter 90,
Health and Safety; Nuisances; Section 90.01 to Amend the Hours of Noises
Prohibited to Provide Consistent Hours for the City of Vermillion, South
Dakota.
Mayor Cole read the title to the above named Ordinance, and Council
Member Price moved adoption of the following:
BE IT RESOLVED that the minutes of this meeting shall show that the title
to the proposed Ordinance No. 1478 entitled An Ordinance amending City
of Vermillion Code of Ordinances Title IX, General Regulations; Chapter

B. Agreement with Vermillion Chamber and Development Company and
CenterPointe Real Estate Group as it pertains to the Declaration of
Restrictions and Covenants for Lot 4C in Block 6 of Erickson Addition
(lot immediate north of O’Reilly Auto Parts on Princeton Avenue)
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that CenterPointe Real Estate
Group (Developer) is in process to purchase Lot 4C in Block 6 of Erickson
Addition to develop a Les Schwab Tire Center. John noted that the City
6
Planning and Zoning Commission approved a Conditional Use Permit on
January 9, 2023 to construct and operate a motor vehicle service station
which is the type of use in the zoning district. The lot for the store
is located on the west side of Princeton Street between O’Reilly’s Auto
Parts and McHenry Street. John noted that the City previously owned this
property before transferring it to the VCDC in 2011. In 2008, while the
City owned this lot and surrounding properties on the west side of
Princeton Street, a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants
(Covenants) were developed and filed. The Covenants were later amended
in 2013.
John stated that the Developer has expressed concern about a couple of
sections of the Covenants. The Developer has requested a waiver of the
repurchase right for this lot as referenced in the covenants. The VCDC
would have a Right of First Refusal to purchase the property if the
Developer is not issued a building permit. The Developer would also like
to follow City Code as it pertains to the issuance of a building permit
and completion time vs. the timelines as detailed in the Covenants.
John noted that the Developer has prepared the attached Repurchase Waiver
and Right of First Refusal Agreement for the City, VCDC, and Developer
to sign. The document has been prepared to address only Lot 4C in Block
6 of Erickson Addition and none of the other lots that are included
within the Covenants. The City Attorney has reviewed the attached
document. A copy of the original 2008 Covenants and the 2011 amendment
are also attached.

Council Agenda Memo
From: José Domínguez, City Engineer
Meeting: February 6, 2023
Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Purchase of a 2x4 ½-ton Short Box Pickup
Truck
Presenter: José Domínguez
Background: On November 1, 2021, the City Council approved a resolution authorizing
the purchase of several vehicles. One of the vehicles was a 2022 2x4 ½-ton short box
pickup truck. The vehicle order was placed with Vermillion Ford soon after the approval
of the resolution. This purchase was discussed during the budget sessions in August
2021 and was included in the 2022 equipment replacement schedule.
The vehicle ordered in November 2021 was delivered to the City in May 2022.
However, the vehicle delivered to the City was incorrectly ordered by the dealer and
promptly returned by the City without payment being issued. The dealer did order a new
vehicle, but the manufacturer voided the re-order and asked all dealers to place new
orders for those vehicles removed. At the same time, the manufacturer removed all price
protections for vehicles ordered in 2022. This meant that the price for the vehicle re-
ordered would change from the price originally agreed on in November 2021. The City
learned about the new price for the re-ordered vehicle in December 2022.
Discussion: Staff proposes that the Council purchase the vehicle that has been re-ordered
from Vermillion Ford. The City can accomplish this by following SDCL 5-18A-22(19).
This statute allows the City to purchase equipment that costs less than $50,000 without
going to bid. The new price for the vehicle would be $34,846. Although this price is
significantly more than the November 2021 price of $27,551, the new price would have
been similar to that if the City would have purchased from the State bid in June 2022.
Financial Consideration: The Equipment Replacement Fund will have to be adjusted by
$7,295 to account for the purchase of this vehicle. This adjustment will be discussed at
the 2023 budget review sessions.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approving the resolution
allowing for the purchase of the vehicle.
