6. Public Hearings

Street).
3
John Prescott, City Manager, stated that the City was the successful
bidder at auction on 50 undeveloped acres located at the southwest
corner of South Dakota Highway 50 and South Dakota Highway 19 (Stanford
Street). The property has been farmed for many years. The last farm
lease issued by the previous owner expired last year. The City does not
have a current lease for the property.
John noted that a resolution of intent setting a public hearing for
April 3, 2023 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 municipally owned property for an amount exceeding $500 and
exceeding 120 days. A public notice was advertised for a meeting at
this date and time.
John stated that the proposed lease is for approximately 40 acres.
Plans are being developed for the Law Enforcement Center to be
constructed along Stanford Street. The lease excludes the seven acres
for the Law Enforcement Center site and the land between the Law
Enforcement Center site and Baylor Street. The lease expiration is
October 31, 2023.

7. Old Business
8. New Business
A. Request from Journey Construction on behalf of the University of
South Dakota to temporarily remove on-street parking along a portion of
North University Street and along a portion of North Plum Street for
USD Wellness Center Construction Purposes.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on a request to remove parking
along a portion of North University Street and North Plum Street. Jose
noted that Journey Construction (Journey) of Sioux Falls, SD, on behalf
of the University of South Dakota (USD), is requesting to occupy
several parking stalls along North University Street and on North Plum
Street. The removal of the parking would increase safety to the
vehicular traffic, help complete the construction project, and protect
the public from construction activities.
4
Jose noted that Section 70.073 of the Code of Ordinances allows the
City Manager to designate no parking areas for temporary purposes.
Journey’s request falls under this category. However, due to the length
of the request (from April 2023 to August 31, 2024) and the locations
high visibility, it was decided to have this request be acted on by the
City Council. Jose stated that taking this to the City Council would
also allow the public an opportunity to voice any possible concerns.
Jose noted that Journey is requesting to temporarily remove 50-feet
(approximately three parking stalls) from North University Street
beginning approximately 250-feet south of the fire hydrant in front of
the Wellness Center. Additionally, Journey is requesting to also remove
50-feet (approximately three parking stalls) temporarily from North
Plum Street beginning approximately 400-feet north of the vehicle
entrance to USD’s service building. Jose noted that these areas would
be used by the contractor to access the construction area for the
expansion of USD’s Wellness Center. Pedestrians will not have to be
rerouted around the construction area, and a construction fence will be
installed to keep pedestrians out of the workspace.
Jose noted that besides pedestrian safety, the City is also concerned
with snow removal. This has been discussed with Journey and it was
agreed that the City will plow as close as possible to the Jersey
barriers placed along the parking spaces delineating the entrances to
the job site. Journey will be responsible for removing the remaining
snow next to the barriers. They are aware of the importance of removing
all of the snow so that the travel lanes are not reduced in width.
Discussion followed.
88-23
Council Member Hellwege moved approval of the Request from Journey
Construction on behalf of the University of South Dakota to temporarily
remove on-street parking along a portion of North University Street and
along a portion of North Plum Street for USD Wellness Center
construction purposes. Council Member Ward seconded the motion. Motion
carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
B. First reading of Ordinance No. 1484 amending Title IX, General
Regulations; Chapter 95, Parks and Recreation; repealing Sections 95.01
and 95.02 and adding Sections 95.01 through 95.08 providing for the
rules and regulations, protection and preservation of park areas.
Jim Goblirsch, Parks and Rec Director, reported on the first reading of
Ordinance No. 1484. Jim noted that Chapter 95 Parks and Recreation
contains two sections and names regulations for two of the City’s
parks. The last time revisions were made to any section of Chapter 95
5
was in 1982. The current regulations in Chapter 95 do not mention any
other city ordinances that pertain to park usage such as obtaining
sound permits or leash laws. In addition, it did not allow for any
enforcement of the regulations in either section.
Jim noted that Vermillion now has eight parks with the most recent
added in 2015 with Bliss Pointe. As the park system grows so do the
challenges in operating them. Updating the Park ordinance will allow
for clear expectations of patron usage, operational hours, and the
protection of City property. Efforts were made when amending this
ordinance to piggyback on current City ordinances that correlate to
Parks and Recreation. This ordinance would also enable park staff and
local police to have the ability to enforce these regulations with
legal backing.
Highlighted ordinance changes are divided into three sections:
95.01 – Amending and adding definitions
95.02 – Add language regarding campground usage
95.03 – Add language prohibiting smoking in parks and Bluffs golf
Course when youth activities take place.
95.04 – Add language about what may or may not take place on park
land
95.05 – Add language about the protection of property, structures,
and natural resources.
95.08 - Enforcement
Jim stated that to aid in the development of this amended ordinance
City staff reviewed numerous other Parks and Recreation ordinances from
other communities to use as a template. Over the past year, Parks and
Recreation staff and members of the Vermillion Police Department met to
refine this for the Vermillion community. As the draft developed,
updates were provided at the December 19th and February 6th noon
meetings. Several City Council Members offered feedback on the drafts
to help prepare the proposed ordinance.
Mayor Cole noted that there is a definition for weapons, but it is not
used in the document. Staff noted that they can add in a section that
will deal with that.
Council Member Hellwege noted multiple changes such as changing “taken”
to “occupied.”
Discussion followed on the first reading of the ordinance.
89-23
Council Member Jennewein moved approval to table the first reading of
Ordinance No. 1484 to the April 17, 2023 meeting. Council Member
6
Humphrey seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole
declared the motion adopted.
C. Wastewater rate adjustments
Katie Redden, Finance Officer, reported that wastewater rates were last
adjusted by 1% in April 2017 to 128%. Katie noted that wastewater rates
are based on water billing. The wastewater rates are a percentage of
the average water billing for January, February and March. Katie stated
that the current percentage is 128% and the resolution is to adjust the
rate to 132%. Katie noted that, for the average residential customer
using 581 cubic feet of water, this would be a $1.17 monthly increase.
Katie noted that the revised fee is projected to generate revenue to
meet the wastewater budget, surcharge required for the SRF loan and
some funding for the lift station replacement project. Discussion
followed.
90-23
After reading the same once, Council Member Ward moved adoption of the
following:
RESOLUTION AMENDING SEWER RATES
WHEREAS, Section 53.018 of Title V, Public Works, of the 2008 Revised
Ordinances of the City of Vermillion, allows the City Council to
establish and change sewer rates and reads as follows:

sanitary sewer utility shall be equal to a percentage, set from time to
time by resolution of the council, of the average monthly charges made
for water during the last January, February, and March period to any
person occupying any premises served by the utility and to his
successors in the occupancy. In cases where the premises were
unoccupied during the months of January, February, and March and/or
where the use of the premises has significantly changed the water
usage, the sewer charge may be based on the average usage during three
(3) other months of the year; and
WHEREAS, the State Revolving Loan for the Phase II improvements
required the creation of a surcharge fee sufficient to produce net
revenues for each fiscal year at least equal to one hundred ten (110)

WHEREAS, the City Council has approved the application for SRF
loan/grant funding for the Prentis Street lift station project that
will require a rate adjustment for the increased debt service; and

rate, will produce income at the times and in amounts
sufficient to pay when due the principal of and interest on

loan agreement. The charges shall be reviewed annually by city
personnel and administratively adjusted, upwards or downwards,

other charges as may become due and owing under the loan
agreements. The debt service surcharge percentage included in

E. Grant Application Checklist for Harold Davidson Field Airport AWOS
project
9
Jose Dominguez, City Engingeer, reported on a grant application for the
Harold Davidson Field Airport AWOS project. Jose noted that the latest
Capital Improvement Plan for the airport shows that the existing AWOS
will be replaced in 2023. Due to time constraints, the grant pre-
application checklist for this project is not being required by the
FAA. The project is moving to the next step in the process which is the
grant application checklist.
Jose noted that the environmental portion of this project was funded in
September 2022 for $43,000.
Jose stated that the FAA application process further notifies the FAA
of the project that will be occurring. Similar to the pre-application
process, this step makes the FAA aware of possible issues ahead of time
by providing additional information, in this case necessary funding.
Jose noted that this grant will be for the design of the AWOS site.
Staff expects a future grant to be signed by the City to cover the
construction and the construction administration.
Jose noted that at this point there are no financial considerations to
discuss. The City has budgeted sufficient funds to cover the City’s 5%
share of the grant. Once the agreement is signed, the City will be
obligated to pay for the 5% share of the grant when the project is
completed.

chapters of this country’s legacy.
Mayor Cole read the proclamation for Intellectual & Developmental
Disabilities Awareness Month encouraging all citizens to support
opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental
disabilities in our community. Mayor Cole noted that SESDAC received the
proclamation at the noon meeting.
Leslie Gerish expressed to the Council gratitude for reading a new
proclamation. Leslie stated that there needs to be a transparent process
for proclamations to give the community a better idea of how they work.
Leslie also noted that the last six weeks have become a tangled web of
confusion for how local government works and leadership’s
responsibilities. Leslie noted that the community and leadership need to
talk to each other and be honest and tell the truth.

Eileen Thournir stated that she is speaking on the newspaper ad and
everyone that has signed the petition for the ad. Eileen thanked the
Council for reissuing the proclamation and restoring faith in local
government. Eileen thanked the Cultural Wellness Coalition (CWC) for what
they have done with this.
Marcus Destin thanked the CWC and community for speaking up. Marcus

stated that small things like this make people feel safer.
Calvin Peterson thanked the Council for reissuing the proclamation.
Calvin noted a ranch saying, “word is as good as your bond.” Calvin noted

pull a fast one over a sleeping town. Calvin stated that the community
needs honest politicians and leaders, and Mayor Cole has fences to mend.
Jordan Minnich Kjesbo stated his fear for us as a culture and a society
right now that in the name of unity and lack of tension we are refusing
to make hard decisions. When we make mistakes, we need to acknowledge

unity we are looking for is not the absence of tension but the presence
of justice. Steps have been taken for justice, but Jordan asked the Mayor
and Council to consider a formal apology to the CWC.
Savannah Lukkes, President of the CWC, thanked the community for
supporting them. She stated that they see the support and thanked
everyone for taking the time to listen and learn.
Hailie Warren thanked the Council for reissuing the proclamation. Hailie

start of the organization. Hailie thanked everyone for their support.
6. Public Hearings
A. First Reading of Ordinance 1479 – Amending the 2012 Joint Zoning
Regulations for Clay County and the City of Vermillion by Amending
Chapter 14 Amendments and Change of Zone; Section 14.03 Hearing by
Planning Commissions; and Section 14.04 Hearing by Board of County
Commissioners and City Council.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on the first reading of Ordinance
No. 1479. Jose noted that the City and the County met on June 1, 2022 to
discuss how to improve the Joint Zoning agreement between the City and
County. At the end of the meeting, it was agreed that amendments to
streamline the rezoning process, along with amendments to the LI (Light
4
Industrial district) would be brought in by Staff at a later date for
the Council’s consideration.
Jose noted that the City and the County’s Planning Commissions have
discussed the possible amendments jointly at several meetings through
2022. On February 27, 2023, the City and County’s Planning Commissions
met jointly and reviewed the amendment being considered tonight. The
City’s Planning Commission recommended unanimously that the Council adopt
the ordinance as proposed. The County’s Planning Commission had a similar
recommendation to the County’s Board of Commissioners.
Jose stated that the proposed amendment would make ALL meetings joint
rather than both governing bodies meeting separately for the first
reading of an ordinance and then jointly for the second reading.
Additionally, the proposed amendment would require notification to
affected property owners regarding ALL change of zone requests in the
JJZA, including requests initiated by government bodies.
Jose noted that the City Council is asked to take public comments and
approve the first reading of the ordinance. The second reading will be
a joint meeting between the City and County. This meeting will be set
once both bodies have considered the 1st reading of the ordinance.
71-23
Mayor Cole 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. 1479 – Amending the 2012 Joint Zoning
Regulations for Clay County and the City of Vermillion by Amending
Chapter 14 Amendments and Change of Zone; Section 14.03 Hearing by
Planning Commissions; and Section 14.04 Hearing by Board of County
Commissioners and City Council for 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 20th day of March,
2023 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 Price. After discussion the
question of adoption of the Resolution was put to a vote of the Governing
Body and 8 members voted in favor of and 0 members voted in opposition
to the motion. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
B. Request for a variance to reduce the required lot area from 6,000-
square feet to 2,275-square feet; to reduce the required front yard
setback along the West Cherry Street frontage road west of Tom Street
5
from 25 feet to 0 feet; to reduce the front yard setback along Tom Street
from 20 feet to 0 feet; and to reduce the side yard setback along the
north property line from 15 feet to 0 feet for the construction and
operation of a Neighborhood Utility Facility (sanitary sewer lift
station) at Lot 2, Anderson Addition, City of Vermillion, Clay County,
South Dakota.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on a variance for the Tom Street
lift station that was originally constructed in 1975. Jose noted that
the City has been working to replace the lift station since 2014 when an
assessment was performed to ensure that it had enough capacity to handle
a completely built out Bliss Pointe development. After the assessment,
the decision was made to replace the lift station with a new larger
facility able to handle all the existing uses, Bliss Pointe growth, and
more recently any of the growth in the “Munger” property purchased late
last year.
Jose stated that part of the improvements required that land be purchased
to relocate the lift station from the street to a safer, off-street
location. The land was purchased in February 2022.
Jose noted that the City of Vermillion, owner of the above mentioned lot,
is requesting that the area required for a buildable lot be reduced from
6000-square feet to 2,275-square feet. Additionally, the owner is
requesting that the front yard be reduced from 20 feet or 25 feet to 0
feet, and that the side yard setback be reduced from 15 feet to 0 feet.
Jose stated that the City Council, acting as the Board of Adjustment,
hears and decides on any zoning variance requests. Prior to deciding,
the Board needs to consider public comments and review the factors found
in the ordinance. Following are Staff’s comments on some of the factors:
• Unnecessary hardship (convenience, loss of profit, financial
limitations, or self-imposed hardships shall not be considered) – The
hardship in this instance is self-imposed. However, the City purchased
a small lot to minimize the impact on neighboring properties and to
improve safety and services to the community.
• Literal interpretation would deprive the use of the property –
Literal interpretation would prohibit the construction of the lift
station.
• Variance requested is the minimum – Without the variances the City
would not be able to construct the lift station.
• Granting the variance will comply with the general purpose and
intent of the ordinance – The variance will not negatively affect the
neighborhood since there already is a lift station on the street adjacent
to the lot in questions.
6
Jose noted that, in order to increase safety of City employees and the
public, Staff recommends that the City Council grant the variances
reducing the required lot area from 6,000-square feet to 2,275-square
feet; reducing the front yard setback along West Cherry Street frontage
road west of Tom Street from 25 feet to 0 feet; reducing the front yard
setback along Tom Street from 20 feet to 0 feet; and reducing the side
yard setback along the north property line from 15 feet to 0 feet for
the construction and operation of a Neighborhood Utility Facility on Lot
2, Anderson Addition, City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota.
72-23
Council Member Ward moved approval of the variance to reduce the required
lot area from 6,000-square feet to 2,275-square feet; to reduce the
required front yard setback along the West Cherry Street frontage road
west of Tom Street from 25 feet to 0 feet; to reduce the front yard
setback along Tom Street from 20 feet to 0 feet; and to reduce the side
yard setback along the north property line from 15 feet to 0 feet for
the construction and operation of a Neighborhood Utility Facility
(sanitary sewer lift station) at Lot 2, Anderson Addition, City of
Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota. Council Member Holland seconded
the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
C. Medical Cannabis Manufacturing Facility license for Dakota Natural
Growers at 907 N Norbeck Street
Katie Redden, Finance Officer, reported on an application received for
a Medical Cannabis Manufacturing License from Dakota Natural Growers at
907 N. Norbeck Street. Katie stated that the City Medical Cannabis
Manufacturing License is for one calendar year and expires December 31,
2023. Katie noted that Dakota Natural Growers already has a City Medical
Cannabis Cultivation and Dispensary License for calendar year 2023. Katie
stated that Dakota Natural Growers has provided all necessary information
and staff have reviewed the application. Katie stated that the Police
Chief’s report noted that the background checks have come back from the
DCI and FBI and the eight (8) applicants did not have any disqualifying
felony charges per City Ordinance or State Statute. Katie noted that
Dakota Natural Growers will also have to apply for a State license and
be approved before they can operate their dispensary in the State of
South Dakota.

C. Resolution of Intent setting a public hearing date of Monday, April
3, 2023 to consider a lease of City owned land at the southwest corner
of South Dakota Highway 50 and Stanford Street.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that last year the City was the
successful bidder at auction on 50 undeveloped acres located at the
southwest corner of South Dakota Highway 50 and Stanford Street. Over
the last couple of months, at noon meetings, the City Council has had
several updates on how the property might be developed in the coming

a current lease for the property.
John noted that the proposed lease is for approximately 40 acres. Plans
are being developed for the Law Enforcement Center to be constructed
along Stanford Street. The lease excludes the seven acres for the Law
8
Enforcement Center site and the land between the Law Enforcement Center
site and Baylor Street.
John stated that, for the City to enter into a lease for a term exceeding
one hundred twenty (120) days and for an annual value exceeding five
hundred dollars ($500), a public hearing is required.
John noted that attached is a Resolution of Intent to set a public hearing
date for the Monday, April 3, 2023 City Council meeting. A public hearing
notice of the meeting will also be published.

6. Public Hearings; item a
Council Agenda Memo
From: John Prescott, City Manager
Meeting: April 3, 2023
Subject: Consider the lease of approximately 40 acres at the Southwest corner of
South Dakota Highway 50 and South Dakota Highway 19
Presenter: John Prescott
Background: The City was the successful bidder at auction on 50 undeveloped acres
located at the southwest corner of South Dakota Highway 50 and South Dakota Highway
19 (Stanford Street). The property has been farmed for many years. The last farm lease
issued by the previous owner expired last year. The City does not have a current lease for
the property.
A resolution of intent setting a public hearing for April 3, 2023 was approved at the last
meeting. State statute 9-12-5.2 requires the adoption of a resolution of intent to lease a
municipally owned property for an amount exceeding $500 and exceeding 120 days to a
private individual. A notice of hearing was advertised for a meeting at this date and time.
Discussion: The proposed lease is for approximately 40 acres. Plans are being developed
for the law enforcement center to be constructed along Stanford Street. The lease
excludes the seven acres for the law enforcement center site and the land between the law
enforcement center site and Baylor Street. The lease expiration is October 31, 2023.
One bid was received and opened on Thursday, March 30, 2023 at 11:00 am. The bid was
submitted by Andrew Heine of Vermillion in the amount of $9,755.
Financial Consideration: The lease amount would be placed in the City’s General Fund.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approval of the lease to
Andrew Heine for the approximately 40 acres of municipally owned property at the
southwest corner of South Dakota Highway 50 and South Dakota Highway 19.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Jose Dominguez, City Engineer
Meeting: April 3, 2023
Subject: Request from Journey Construction on behalf of the University of South
Dakota to Temporarily Remove On-Street Parking along North University
Street and along North Plum Street for Construction Purposes
Presenter: Jose Dominguez
Background: Journey Construction (Journey) of Sioux Falls, SD, on behalf of the
University of South Dakota (USD), requests to occupy several parking stalls along North
University Street and on North Plum Street. The removal of the parking would increase
safety for vehicular traffic, help complete the construction project, and protect the public
from construction activities.
Discussion: Section 70.073 of the Code of Ordinances allows the City Manager to
designate no parking areas for temporary purposes. Journey’s request falls under this
category. However, due to the length of the request, from April 2023 to August 31, 2024,
and the locations high visibility, staff decided to have this request acted upon by the City
Council. Additionally, taking this to the City Council would also allow the public an
opportunity to voice any possible concerns.
Journey is requesting to temporarily remove 50-feet (approximately three parking stalls)
from North University Street beginning approximately 250-feet south of the fire hydrant
in front of the Wellness Center. Additionally, Journey is requesting to also remove 50-
feet (approximately three parking stalls) temporarily from North Plum Street beginning
approximately 400-feet north of the vehicle entrance to USD’s service building. These
areas would be used by the contractor to access the construction area for the expansion of
USD’s Wellness Center. Pedestrians will not be rerouted around the construction area,
and a construction fence will be installed to keep pedestrians out of the work space.
Besides pedestrian safety, the City is also concerned with snow removal. This has been
discussed with Journey and it was agreed that the City will plow as close as possible to
the Jersey barriers placed along the parking spaces delineating the entrances to the job
site. Journey will be responsible for removing the remaining snow next to the barriers.
8. New Business; item a
They are aware of the importance of removing all of the snow so that the travel lanes are
not reduced in width.
Financial Consideration: None
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends granting Journey
Construction the use of the right-of-way to place Jersey barriers until August 31, 2024
and temporarily remove the parking along the same area for the same time period.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Jim Goblirsch, Parks and Recreation Director
Meeting: April 3, 2023
Subject: First reading of Ordinance 1484 repealing Sections 95.01 and 95.02 and
adding Sections 95.01 through 95.08 to update and provide for park
regulations
Presenter: Jim Goblirsch
Background: Chapter 95 Parks and Recreation contains two sections and names
regulations for two of the City’s parks. The last time revisions were made to any section of
Chapter 95 was in 1982. The current regulations in Chapter 95 did not mention any other
City ordinances that pertain to park usage such as obtaining sound permits or leash laws.
In addition, it did not allow for any enforcement of the regulations in either section.
Discussion: Vermillion now has eight parks with most recent being added in 2015 with
Bliss Pointe. As the park system grows so do the challenges operating them. Updating the
Park ordinance will allow for clear expectations of patron usage, operational hours, and the
protection of City property. Efforts were made when amending this ordinance to
piggyback on current City ordinances that correlate to Parks and Recreation. This
ordinance would also enable park staff and local police to have the ability to enforce these
regulations with legal backing.
Highlighting ordinance changes are divided into the following sections:
• 95.01 – Amend and add definitions
• 95.02 – Add language regarding campground usage
• 95.03 – Add language prohibiting smoking in parks and Bluffs golf course when youth
activities take place.
• 95.04 – Add language about what may or may not take place on Parkland
• 95.05 – Add language about the protection of property, structures, and natural resources.
• 95.08 – Enforcement
To aid in the development of this amended ordinance, City staff reviewed numerous other
Parks and Recreation ordinances from other communities to use as a template. Over the
past year, Parks and Recreation staff and members of the Vermillion Police Department
met to refine this for the Vermillion community. As the draft developed, updates were
8. New Business; item b
provided at the December 19 and February 6 Noon meetings. Several City Council
members offered feedback on the drafts to help prepare the proposed ordinance.
Financial Consideration: There is limited to no financial considerations that need to be
taken into consideration with the first reading of these proposed changes.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends approval of the first reading
of Ordinance 1484.

Council Agenda Memo
From: Katie E Redden, Finance Officer
Meeting: April 3, 2023
Subject: Resolution adjusting wastewater rates
Presenter: Katie Redden
Background: The annual wastewater rate for customers is computed as a percentage of the
average monthly consumption based on the January, February, and March water billing for
each utility account. The new wastewater fee is computed in April of each year and remains
the same for the next twelve months. Since the water usage of each account varies from
year to year, wastewater fees are determined on an annual basis.
The wastewater rates were last adjusted in April 2017 to 128% of the January, February
and March water billing. As wastewater rates are based on water billing, it should be noted
that water rates were increased 2% in January 2023. In the first quarter of 2023, water sales
volume decreased 6.8% over the same period in 2022. To generate the budgeted wastewater
revenues, the wastewater billing rate will need to be increased to 132%. The average
wastewater increase is 4.22% with all factors taken into consideration.
Discussion: As actual water sales revenues are known for the first quarter of 2023 and at
the current wastewater rate of 128%, the projections for 2023 revenues would be $192,000
less than the budgeted wastewater revenues. Adjusting the wastewater rate to 132% is
projected to generate $2,253,900 which is still below the budget for 2023 of $2,394,500.
The surcharge fee percentage of the wastewater rate to provide the necessary revenue in
the surcharge fund to meet the 110% annual debt service requirement will remain the same
for 2023.
Financial Consideration: Administration recommends adjusting the wastewater charge to
132% which will increase the monthly billing by 4.22% from $37.34 to $38.51 or $1.17
per month for customers using the city average of 581 cubic feet of water. Customers will
see this increase on the bills that come out around April 20th due May 10th.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends the adoption of the
wastewater rate resolution to meet the 2023 budget and provide the rates needed for
operations and the SRF Loan covenants.
RESOLUTION AMENDING SEWER RATES
WHEREAS, Section 53.018 of Title V, Public Works, of the 2008 Revised Ordinances of the City of
Vermillion, allows the City Council to establish and change sewer rates and reads as follows:
The monthly sewer charge to each user for ordinary use of the public sanitary sewer utility shall be
equal to a percentage, set from time to time by resolution of the council, of the average monthly
charges made for water during the last January, February, and March period to any person occupying
any premises served by the utility and to his successors in the occupancy. In cases where the premises
were unoccupied during the months of January, February, and March and/or where the use of the
premises has significantly changed the water usage, the sewer charge may be based on the average
usage during three (3) other months of the year; and
WHEREAS, the State Revolving Loan for the Phase II improvements required the creation of a surcharge
fee sufficient to produce net revenues for each fiscal year at least equal to one hundred ten (110) percent
of the principal and interest on the bonds coming due in such fiscal year be established; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has approved the application for SRF loan/grant funding for the Prentis

administrative surcharge and other charges as may become due and owing under the loan
agreements. The debt service surcharge percentage included in (a) above, per monthly billing shall
be twenty-one and nine tenth percent (21.9%).

Council Agenda Memo
From: Katie Redden, Finance Officer
Meeting: April 3, 2023
Subject: Appointment to the Consolidated Board of Equalization
Presenter: Katie Redden
Background: The County, City, and School District have each adopted resolutions to
consolidate the Board of Equalization within city limits. The Consolidated Board hears
property owner appeals of real estate valuation within the city and consists of the five
County Commissioners, three City Council members, and one School Board member. The
County Auditor and Director of Equalization schedule the appointments for the
consolidated board.
Prior to having a Consolidated Board of Equalization, the City Council, along with one
School Board member, comprised the local Board of Equalization that heard appeals. If the
property owner did not agree with the finding of the local board, they would then appeal to
the county board. If the Director of Equalization did not agree with the local board’s
decision, they could change the valuation, and the property owner would need to go to the
county board to make their appeal again. The Consolidated Board makes it easier for the
property owner, as they only need to go before one board with their appeal.
Discussion: The City Council will need to appoint three members to serve as City
representatives on the consolidated board; the remaining members will be designated as
alternates to fill a vacancy if a member is unable to attend. Ina Peterson, Director of
Equalization, reported that the first day of hearings will be Tuesday, April 11, 2023,
beginning around 1:00 p.m., which in the last few years has not taken the entire afternoon.
Financial Consideration: None
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends the City Council appoint
three members to serve on the Consolidated Board of Equalization with the remaining
members being designated as alternates.

Council Agenda Memo
From: José L. Domínguez, City Engineer
Meeting: April 3, 2023
Subject: Grant Application Checklist for Harold Davidson Field Airport AWOS
project
Presenter: José Domínguez
Background: The latest Capital Improvement Plan for the airport shows that the existing
AWOS will be replaced in 2023. Due to time constraints, the grant pre-application
checklist for this project is not being required by the FAA. The process is moving to the
next step in the process which is the grant application checklist.
The environmental portion of this project was funded in September 2022. That funding
was $43,000.
Discussion: The FAA application process further notifies the FAA of the project that will
be occurring. Similar to the pre-application process, this step makes the FAA aware of
possible issues ahead of time by providing additional information, in this case funding
necessary.
This grant will be for the design of the AWOS site. Staff expects a future grant to be
signed by the City to cover the construction and the construction administration.
Financial Consideration: At this point there are no financial considerations to discuss.
The City has budgeted sufficient funds to cover the City’s 5% share of the grant. Once
the agreement is signed, the City will be obligated to pay for the 5% share of the grant
when the project is completed.
Conclusion/Recommendations: Administration recommends authorizing the Mayor to
sign the Grant Application Checklist, and to sign any other future documents related to
grant no. 3-46-0056-019-2023.
