A. Jacob Quail, VP of the Boys and Girls Club, thanked the council for
their contributions. Jacob noted that they are currently serving 100 kids
and it provides a safe place for children before and after school along
with during the summer.
4. Tom Street and Northeast sanitary sewer facility basin plans – Utility
Manager Shane Griese
Shane Griese, Utility Manager, reported on two facility basin plans. The
first is for the Tom Street lift station. Shane stated that when
purchasing the Jack Powell addition there would need to be additional
lines to service the area. Shane noted that if a 20-year loan at 3%
interest was taken out it would cost the customer $4.33. Shane stated
this project was also a part of the SDHDA grant application therefore
that number may decrease once that funding is secured.
Shane discussed the Northeast sanitary sewer basin plans stating that a
portion of the land was annexed a few years ago and additional land may
be added at the 7pm meeting. Shane noted that this would be put in a
trunk line that would feed into the Norbeck force main. Shane noted that
1
this project would cost the customers $7.26 per user if a 20-year loan
at 3% interest was taken out to cover expenses.
5. Review of off-street parking requirements – City Engineer Jose
Dominguez
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, discussed off-street parking
requirements. Jose went over the history of off-street parking in
Vermillion, the current regulations in place, and a comparison to other
first-class municipalities. Jose also went over complaints received from
citizens. Discussion followed on the current regulations.
Matt Burbach, a landlord and developer in Vermillion, asked what percent
of complaints are from around the university. Matt also asked if the
ordinance could be for location specifics. Matt noted that it takes a
lot of green space away from a property having to add parking.
Jose stated that the complaints are not just around campus, they are in
all areas of town and directed towards rental areas. Jose noted that
there could be an overlay district made that could make specific areas
have different requirements.
Matt noted that if garages could count for more than one parking space,
it would make it easier for developers.
Jim Peterson, VCDC Director, stated that parking is a large deterrent
for developers that want to come to Vermillion. Jim stated that if a
double-stall garage could count as two parking spots instead of one it
would make things a little easier for developers.
Kalin Bird, Code Enforcement, stated that from a code perspective he sees
many garages not offered to tenants or offered at a large price. Kalin
also noted that if a tenant has access to garages, they are sometimes
used for other purposes such as storage or game rooms.
Nick Slattery, owner of AMS, stated that there is an increase in need
for housing in Vermillion. Nick stated that if a rule could be put into
place that states those spaces cannot be used for anything but parking
then Code could enforce it.
Council Member Holland stated that the reason behind not allowing garages
to be a part of parking was due to landlords charging for the use of
them.
Council Member Price noted that there are two issues here. The first
being rental housing requirements and the second being parking. Price
2
noted that she is in favor of having an overlay district to make parts
of town less restrictive.
Council Member Letellier excused himself at 12:51 p.m.
Discussion followed on USD parking and the process this change should go
through. Mayor Cole noted that a committee should be formed with
landlords, planning and zoning, staff, and council to come to a
compromise.
Council Member Price excused herself at 12:54 p.m.
6. Briefing on the November 6, 2023 City Council Regular Meeting
Council reviewed items on the agenda with city staff. No action was
taken.

7. Old Business
A. Second reading of Ordinance 1495 – Amending Title XV, Land Usage;
Chapter 155, Zoning Regulations; Section 155.039, GI General Industrial
District, (A) Permitted Uses, to include “Motor vehicle sales, display,
and rental” as a Permitted Use.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on the second reading of
Ordinance 1495 Amending Title XV, Land Usage; Chapter 155, Zoning
Regulations; Section 155.039, GI General Industrial District, (A)
Permitted Uses, to include “Motor vehicle sales, display, and rental” as
a Permitted Use.
Jose stated since the latest large revision of the City’s zoning
ordinance in 2019, the City has received several inquiries about locating
new car dealerships in the City. Currently car dealerships (e.g., motor
vehicle sales, display, and rental uses) are only allowed in the GB
General Business district as a Permitted Use and in the Cottage Place
PDD and Bliss Pointe PDD as Conditional Uses. Jose noted this restricts
the location of car dealerships to Cherry and Princeton Streets. The
Bliss Pointe PDD allows car dealerships but restricts the number of
vehicles being displayed. Jose stated the car dealerships located in one
of the two PDDs also go through a Conditional Use process, which may
place additional conditions on the use depending on development
circumstances.
Jose noted the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission (Commission)
considered this item at their October 10th meeting. After reviewing the
proposed ordinance, the Commission voted 5 to 0 in favor of the City
Council adopting the ordinance as proposed by Staff.
Jose stated that neither the current Zoning Ordinance adopted in 2019
nor the amendments to the zoning ordinance in 2008 allowed for car
dealerships outside of the districts already mentioned. Staff believes
that directing car dealerships to a business zoning district was intended
to diminish any possible conflicts between residential and commercial
uses.
Jose noted the amendment being proposed by staff would expand the areas
where car dealerships are allowed to include the GI General Industrial
district. This would open areas for new car dealerships to areas between
Stanford and Princeton Streets north of West Cherry Street, and to an
area roughly bounded by Jefferson (extended) and North Crawford Streets
north of East Cherry Street. Jose stated the new areas would be
appropriate for this use since they are already allowed for Industrial
Use. Allowing this use would increase the available locations through
7
the community for the use. Jose noted no changes have been made since
first reading.
406-23
Second reading of title to Ordinance No. 1495, entitled An Ordinance
Amending City Of Vermillion Code Of Ordinances Title XV, Land Usage;
Chapter 155, Zoning Regulations; Section 155.039, GI General Industrial
District, (A) Permitted Uses, To Include “Motor Vehicle Sales, Display,
And Rental” As A Permitted Use for the City of Vermillion, South Dakota.
Mayor Cole read the title to the above-named Ordinance, and Council
Member Ward moved adoption of the following:

to the proposed Ordinance No. 1495 entitled An Ordinance Amending City

8. New Business
A. Resolution annexing Heikes Tract 3 in the SE 1/4 of 7-92-51, 5th
Principal Meridian, Clay County, South Dakota (also known as 1408 317th
Street).
Jose Domiguez, City Engineer, reported on a resolution annexing Heikes
Tract 3 in the SE 1/4 of 7-92-51, 5th Principal Meridian, Clay County,
South Dakota (also known as 1408 317th Street). Jose stated the owners
of Heikes Tract 3 have requested to be annexed into the City. Jose noted
the parcel is on the north side of Vermillion and is surrounded on three
sides by land zoned for industrial uses. The land is located immediately
north of the city limits on the north side of 317th Street and one tenth
of a mile west of the Nutrien building. The south side of the parcel and
most of the west and east sides of the parcel abut city limits.
Jose noted the owners have submitted their petition to annex the above-
mentioned area into the municipal boundaries of Vermillion. The future
use is to provide land for industrial development. Jose stated the City
will be able to service the lots with utilities and the land will enter
city limits zoned NRC-Natural Resource Conservation, which is the most
restrictive classification and allows for the existing uses to continue
within the City. Rezoning of the property will follow at a later meeting.
9
Jose stated the annexation will lead to an increase in the City’s property
tax base, job prospects, and utility customers. However, for proper
development of the land, the City may need to complete improvements to
317th Street and possibly construct a new sanitary lift station to
service the area along with sanitary sewer extensions. The cost for these
items is currently unknown.
407-23
After reading the same once, Council Member Holland moved adoption of
the following:
RESOLUTION ANNEXING CERTAIN CONTIGUOUS TERRITORY TO THE
CITY OF VERMILLION,
CLAY COUNTY, SOUTH DAKOTA
WHEREAS, there has been presented to the Governing Body of the City of
Vermillion, and filed with the City Finance Officer, a petition to annex

and
WHEREAS, said petition was signed by the owners of not less than three-
fourths of the value of the territory to be annexed and by not less than
three-fourths of the registered voters residing within the boundaries of
the territory to be annexed; and
WHEREAS, such annexation is provided for in SDCL 9-4-1 upon resolution
of the Governing Body.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of
Vermillion that the following territory described as:

The motion was seconded by Council Member Ward. Discussion followed and
the question of the adoption of the Resolution was presented for a vote
of the Governing Body. 9 members voted in favor of and 0 members voted
in opposition to the Resolution. Mayor Cole declared that the Resolution
was adopted.
B. Authorization to Notify Electric Cooperative of Intent to Serve
Annexed Area (Heikes Tract 3 in the SE 1/4 of 7-92-51, 5th Principal
Meridian, Clay County, South Dakota).
Shane Griese, Utilities Manager, reported on the authorization to notify
electric cooperative of intent to serve annexed area. Shane stated the
purpose of this authorization is to notify Clay-Union Electric
Corporation (Clay-Union) of the City’s intent to provide the annexed
property with City electric service. Shane noted this coincides with the
previous agenda item to annex this portion of land into the City. This
land is surrounded on the south, east, and west sides by existing city
limits in the Northeast section of the City.
Shane noted that by State law, if the City does not notify a rural
electric cooperative within one year of annexation of its intent to serve
the annexed area, the annexed area shall continue to be served by the
rural electric cooperative.
Shane stated the City has elected to serve all annexed areas since a
1992 State law changed the notification time to one year from annexation.
The City is aware of Clay-Union customers in the annexed area, and per
state statute, the City will pay compensation for service rights equal
to the sum of twenty-five percent (25%) of the gross revenues received
from power sales to consumers of electric power within the annexed area.
Shane noted these revenue payments would not start until a City electric
customer service is established in the area during the next eleven years.
The City would only be responsible for making lost revenue payments for
a maximum of seven years for each new customer. Clay-Union Electric was
notified via email on November 2nd that this item would be on the November
6th City Council Agenda.
Shane noted the City will work with Clay-Union to transfer services to
existing properties. Once the City begins serving existing properties,
11
the seven years of revenue payments will begin. When a new City electrical
service is established in the territory during the next eleven years,
lost revenue payments may be needed for a maximum of seven years within
the 11-year window. The Electric budget has funds to cover these fees.
Chris Larson, GM of Clay-Union Electric, stated that he stands in
opposition for this proposal. Chris asked if the owners of the property
were notified.
Shane noted that no one was notified due to not having all the information
of the customers in that area. Discussion followed on bringing this into
the service territory.
Chris Larson stated that Clay-Union serves 200 households within City
limits.
408-23
Council Member Ward moved approval of the Authorization to Notify
Electric Cooperative of Intent to Serve Annexed Area (Heikes Tract 3 in
the SE 1/4 of 7-92-51, 5th Principal Meridian, Clay County, South
Dakota). Council Member Humphrey seconded the motion. Motion carried 9
to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
C. First reading of Ordinance 1496 amending Title III, Administration;
Chapter 30, City Council; Section 30.02 City Elections to add campaign
finance reporting.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported on Ordinance 1496 campaign finance
reporting. John stated the Policies and Procedures Committee met on
October 10, 2023 to review a request to implement campaign finance
disclosure requirements. The Committee reviewed a campaign finance
ordinance adopted by Brookings in 2016. John noted the Committee did not
feel that there were any current issues, but a majority of the members
felt that having language to address the matter in City Code might be
helpful in the future. All of the members felt that the $100 threshold
for reporting an individual’s contribution was too low. A $500 threshold
was recommended. On a 3-1 vote, the Committee requested City staff
prepare an ordinance for future City Council consideration. The Committee
presented their recommendation at the October 16, 2023 City Council
meeting.
John noted since the October 16th meeting, City staff has continued to
research the matter and drafted the attached ordinance. Brookings, Rapid
City, Sioux Falls, and Watertown use $100 as the threshold for reporting
individual contributions. Sioux Falls uses $500 as the threshold for
reporting committee contributions. City staff could find no other cities
in South Dakota that have a municipal candidate campaign finance
12
reporting requirement. Watertown’s ordinance language specifically makes
candidates for municipal office the same as a candidate for legislative
office. This requires other reports such as a year-end report and
termination reports.
John stated the timing of the final report has been adjusted to reflect
when statements of finance interests are due, which is 15 days after the
election is certified.
John stated in reviewing and discussing a draft of the proposed ordinance
with the City Attorney, a challenge with the $500 reporting threshold
recommended by the Policies and Procedures Committee has developed. As
state statute specifically utilizes $100 as the reporting threshold, the
City Attorney does not recommend that the City consider and adopt an
ordinance that utilizes a reporting requirement that exceeds $100. The
City could be equal to or more restrictive than State statute and adopt
a reporting threshold of $100 or less. Proposed ordinance 1496 has been
prepared in accordance with the advice of the City Attorney.
Andy Schultz, 1301 Overdrive, stated that this is not a good ordinance
for the City of Vermillion. Andy noted that the communities that have
this are in big cities. Andy noted that Vermillion does have insecurities
of being in a small town and this would increase that.
Doug Kronaizl, 445 N Pine Street, would recommend supporting this
process. Doug noted that he has worked with campaigns, and this is not
as hard as you would think. This gives individuals the information that
they may need to run.
Council Member Ward asked Darrell Jesse, City Attorney, to address the
issues of state statute not directly talking about Municipalities.
Darrell Jesse, City Attorney, noted that is correct, but even with home
rule ordinance cannot be made to make things less restrictive than that
state statute.
Council Member Ward stated it was not the intention of the committee to
have a threshold of $100 for contributions. Council Member Ward made a
motion to table the issue.
Council Member Hellwege stated that she would approve of tabling the
issue. Hellwege noted a discussion should be had about aggregate or
individual contributions. Hellwege noted that she disagrees, that it is
not an issue right now because it is not known of any information
currently, so it could be an issue and not be known.
13
Darrell noted that they could go to the Attorney General’s office and
get a more detailed look into this.
Council Member Letellier stated this ordinance doesn’t seem burdensome
and this is best practice. Letellier said that if it is a problem other
places, it should be talked about and investigated now, so you don’t do
it when it is a problem.
Council Member Murra stated that he thinks there is not a problem in
this town, and it is a nonissue. Murra stated there are no outside
interest groups coming in to influence the people running.
Mayor Cole stated a couple things, before he became Mayor they spoke with
people and individuals, asked if they needed to be reported. Cole stated
that a nonpartisan city council can make it partisan.
409-23
Council Member Ward moved to table Ordinance 1496 amending Title III,
Administration; Chapter 30, City Council; Section 30.02 City Elections
to add campaign finance reporting. Council Member Holland seconded the
motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
D. Annual write-off of old accounts receivable.
Katie Redden, Finance Officer, reported that annually the City Council
needs to remove the old accounts receivable from the accounting records
with collection efforts to continue on these accounts unless discharged
in bankruptcy. Katie stated that the request is to remove 182 utility
accounts totaling $32,601.59, two returned checks for $199.99, and 103
ambulance accounts totaling $82,611.98 from the accounting records.
Discussion followed.
410-23
Council Member Murra moved approval of the removal from the accounting
records of utility accounts totaling $32,601.59, returned checks for
$199.99, and ambulance accounts totaling $82,611.98. Council Member
Humphrey seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared
the motion adopted.
E. Declare growler station surplus.
Katie Redden, Finance Officer, reported on the declaration to surplus
the Liquor Store Growler station. Katie noted that surplus property is
made up of items no longer needed by the City. Katie stated with the
liquor store improvements and the demand for the growlers station
decreasing, the growler station was removed and is no longer needed
within the city.
14
411-23
Council Member Murra moved approval to declare the Liquor Store growler
station surplus. Council Member Hellwege seconded the motion. Motion
carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
F. Resolution authorizing the purchase of a dump truck for the Street
Department.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on a resolution to purchase a
dump truck for the Street Department. Jose noted that when purchasing
equipment, the City has several options base on state statute those
include:
1. City can procure bids based on the requirements set forth in 5-18A;
or
2. City can purchase from an already awarded contract that was awarded
within 12-months if the awarded bidding process in 5-18A was followed
(5-18A-22(3)); or
3. City can purchase from a purchasing agency (5-18A-37); or
4. City can purchase from a local vendor if the purchased item is at, or
below, the price on the State contract list (5-18C-8); or
Typically, the City avoids procuring bids because this process requires
considerable staff time and additional resources to develop the
specifications, advertise the bid documents, and evaluate the bids.
Rather, the City tries to purchase directly from a local vendor, from an
already awarded contract, from the State list, or from a purchasing
agency.
Jose noted, in this instance, Staff is proposing to purchase the vehicle
from a Sourcewell vendor, and that vendor is the Alamo Group who own HP
Fairfield. Jose noted purchasing from the Sourcewell bid allows the City
to benefit from the low prices offered to Sourcewell members. The City
would be purchasing a 2023 International CV515 dump truck chassis, with
a Lanau dump body, and an Everest snowplow for $149,659.50.
Jose stated that the 2024 Equipment Replacement Fund includes $112,500
for the purchase of the new dump truck. The City has not purchased a new
dump truck since 2016. Prices have risen faster than anticipated in the
Equipment Replacement Fund. If purchased, the cost to the City would be
$149,659.50. This would be $37,159.50 over the budget amount. Unless
savings are not made in other purchases, the City will have to revise
the 2024 budget during the budget revision session in 2024.

G. Resolution authorizing the purchase of an asphalt recycler and hot
box trailer for the Street Department.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on a resolution to purchase an
asphalt recycler and hot box trailer for the Street Department. Jose
stated that in addition to Sourcewell, the City also belongs to the State
of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV). This is a program
operated by Minnesota in which they sign contracts with vendors and
suppliers through a bid process. Jose noted that once awarded the bids
are available to other governmental agencies, including those in South
Dakota. In this instance, Staff proposed to utilize CPV rather than
Sourcewell due to additional savings through CPV.
16
Jose stated the equipment that the Street Department is planning to
purchase is an asphalt recycler and hot box trailer. This equipment will
allow the City to more efficiently utilize the asphalt purchased for
pothole patching. Currently some of the asphalt purchased is wasted,
because it is left in the back of an unheated truck. Additionally, this
equipment will allow City crews to purchase larger quantities of asphalt
at a time and not worry about wasting the material since it can be re-
heated. The City would be purchasing this equipment from Falcon Asphalt
Repair Equipment. The dealer that the equipment would be purchased from
is Laursen Asphalt Repair Equipment, from Ham Lake, MN. The City would
purchase a new 4-ton Falcon asphalt recycler and hot box trailer for
$53,631.00.
Jose noted the Resolution to purchase the asphalt recycler and hot box
trailer is being presented now due to the availability of the equipment
and to ensure that the order is placed for the manufacturing of the
equipment. Delivery would not occur until after January 2024.
Jose stated the money to purchase this equipment will be transferred from
the 2nd Penny fund. Currently, there is $55,000 budgeted for the
purchase. Due to the actual cost being $53,631, the City will see a
savings of $1,369.00. The savings would stay in the 2nd Penny fund.

H. Resolution to amend the building permit fee for window replacement,
siding replacement, roof replacement, and razing permits.
Kalin Bird, Building Official, reported on a resolution to amend the
building permit fee for window replacement, siding replacement, roof
replacement, and razing permits. Kalin noted the City has adopted the
2018 International Building Code and the International Residential Code.
These two national codes along with City Code allows for the City to
implement fees for building permits and other services provided by Code
Enforcement and its officials. The current base rate for a building
permit is $30 for any work valued at $1,000 or less. Permits for windows,
siding, roofing, and razing are currently $25.
Kalin noted staff proposes a change in the cost for window, roofing,
siding replacement, and razing of buildings. Kalin proposed adjusting
the fee from $25 to $30 and if an applicant were to apply for two of the
permit types mentioned at one time, the cost would be $50 for the two,
rather than $60. The cost of $30 would align with the base cost of a
larger building permit. The proposed change in fees would be effective
January 1, 2024.

dollars ($30) each effective January 1, 2024. Any single permit that
combines a window replacement, siding replacement, or roof replacement
shall be fifty dollars ($50).

I. Resolution to amend Vermillion Light and Power and Water Department
After Hours fee.
Jack Baustian, Assistant to the City Manager, reported on a resolution
to amend Vermillion Light and Power and Water Department After Hours fee.
Jack stated after-hours service calls include the response of a
Vermillion Light & Power employee or a Water Department employee to
19
respond to an issue which is not caused by the City or a responsibility
of the City. Jack noted this also includes a staff member from the
Electric or Water Department who may be required to activate utilities
outside of normal business hours at the request of a citizen.
Jack stated, each year, City staff reviews the fee schedule for the City
of Vermillion. In reviewing the fee for after regular hours service, it
was determined that both the electric and water rates were not recovering
the cost incurred by the City to provide this service. The after regular
hours service fees were first established in 1996 and were last adjusted
in 2010 to $50 for electric and water. Jack noted this was based upon
the union agreement that provided that the employee is paid two hours at
the overtime rate for being called back in after regular hours.
Jack stated the resolution proposes adjustment of both the electric and
water after regular hours fees to $100. More regular adjustments to these
fees are needed to keep the costs of providing this service closer to
the costs incurred by the City.
Jack proposed the City increase the fee to $100 for each Water Department
after-hours call and $100 plus applicable taxes for each after-hours
Electric Department call. Revenue from the charge would be placed in the
respective water and electric funds.
