Old Business A. Second reading of Ordinance 1524 to amend Title XV, Land Usage; Chapter 155, Zoning Regulations; Section 155.026 rezoning the East Half of Lots 10, 11, and 12; and Lots 1, 2, and 3; and East 10 Feet of Lots 7, 8, and 9; and West 25 Feet of Lots 4, 5, and 6; and All of Vacated Alley in Block 3; and Vacated Half of Spruce Street Adjacent to Lots; and Vacated Half of Elm Street Adjacent to Lots; and Excluding Lot H-1 and Lot H-3; All in Block 3; Parks Addition; City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota, from the GB General Business district to the R-3 Residential district. (Property located north of and between 8 E. Cherry Street and 28 E. Cherry Street) Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on the first reading of Ordinance 1524 to amend Title XV, Land Usage; Chapter 155, Zoning Regulations; Section 155.026. Jose stated the City received an application to rezone a portion of the property addressed as 12 E. Cherry Street. The property is bare ground on the north side of East Cherry Street between the building that houses Heck’s Dakota Style BBQ and the building that houses Pied Piper Florist and immediately north of these buildings. Jose noted the rezoning request is from the GB General Business District to the R- 3 Residential District and the request was made by Mr. Lawrence Brady, owner of the property. The area in question abuts the GB General Business District on the south and east, while the west and north side abuts the R-3 Residential District. Jose added the requested rezone would move the parcel of land from business uses to residential uses. Jose noted the City provided Mr. Brady with information to contact the owners of 24 properties. These 24 properties covered 825,632 square feet. For the Planning and Zoning Commission meeting to occur, Mr. Brady had to collect signatures from the owners of at least 371,534 square feet, or 45% of the aggregate area. Mr. Brady collected signatures from 11 property owners who owned 409,376 square feet. Jose noted after Mr. Brady gathered the required number of signatures for the meeting to occur, the City published a notice in the Plain Talk advertising today’s meeting. Additionally, the City posted signs on the property and mailed notices to owners within 250 feet of the affected property. The owner plans to develop the land being discussed for rezoning into multi-family residential buildings. For these apartments to be constructed, the area being considered must be rezoned from the GB General Business District to the R-3 Residential District. Since 2008 new residential uses along Cherry Street have not been allowed. Although in this instance, a portion of the property being considered abuts Cherry Street, residential uses will not be built on this portion since it is too narrow. The area abutting Cherry Street will be 50 feet wide and the narrowest possible lot, excluding townhomes, can be 60 feet at the building line. Jose stated that in addition to the rezoning, the applicant will need to work with the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SD DOT) regarding access to their property as the SD DOT strictly enforces access to their highways. Jose noted the SD DOT is interested in the proposed residential development and how it may affect their highway for safety and traffic. Jose noted this item was considered by the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission at their November 25th meeting and voted 5-0 to recommend the City Council adopt the amendment as proposed. There was one member of the public present at the meeting who represented the VCDC and stated they were in favor of the rezone since it would provide additional housing in the community. Jose stated an email from one of the neighbors was read which stated that they were in favor of the rezone but wanted the Commission and the City Council to consider and recommend that the access to the apartments be shared with their commercial property. Jose stated no changes have been made since first reading. 432-24 Second reading of title to Ordinance No. 1524, entitled An Ordinance Amending City of Vermillion Code of Ordinances Title XV, Land Usage; Chapter 155, Zoning Regulations; Section 155.026 rezoning the East Half of Lots 10, 11, and 12; and, Lots 1, 2, and 3; and East 10 Feet of Lots 7, 8, and 9; and West 25 feet of Lots 4, 5, and 6; and All of Vacated Alley in Block 3; and Vacated Half of Spruce Street Adjacent to Lots; and Vacated Half of Elm Street Adjacent to Lots; and Excluding Lot H-1 and Lot H-3; All in Block 3; Parks Addition; City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota, from the GB General Business district to the R-3 Residential district for the City of Vermillion, South Dakota.

Second reading of Ordinance 1525 – Amending Chapter 34 Urban and Rural Service District Appendix A to remove platted property from the Rural Service District. (Lot 1, Block 2 of Madison Park Addition – approximately 1400 Roosevelt Street) Jack Baustian, Assistant to the City Manager, reported on the first reading of Ordinance 1525 – Amending Chapter 34 Urban and Rural Service District Appendix A to remove platted property from the Rural Service District. Jack stated with an ordinance in 1996, the City Council established Urban and Rural Service Districts within the City. The 1996 ordinance placed into Code the language that changes how property taxes are calculated for Rural Service Districts within city limits. Jack noted the Rural Service District properties are taxed at the average mill levy for the adjoining township and assessed at the average value of unannexed agricultural land in the adjoining township. The property being considered, which is outlined in the ordinance, is currently used for agricultural purposes within city limits. This property is seen as future developable property but maintains the average adjoining township mill levy while it is undeveloped. Jack stated the amendment is to remove platted property from the Rural Service District listing as is required by ordinance. By removing this plat from the Rural Service District, it must be listed as an exception in Appendix A to be taxed at the City mill levy. The location of the platted property is north of Roosevelt Street, east of North Norbeck Street, and south of East Cherry Street. The legal description for the platted property is: Lot 1, Block 2 Madison Park Addition an addition to the City of Vermillion, Clay County, South Dakota. Jack noted the ordinance also adjusts the language in Description B to reflect a change over the last year. Lots 1 and 2 in the Barari Addition were combined and replatted as Lot 1A Barari Addition. Jack stated there have been no changes since first reading. 433-24 Second reading of title to Ordinance No. 1525, entitled An Ordinance Amending Chapter 34 Urban and Rural Service District Appendix A to remove platted property from the Rural Service District.

Cole, Mayor ATTEST: by __________________________________ Katie E Redden, Finance Officer Adoption of the Ordinance was seconded by Council Member Price. Thereafter the question of the adoption of the Ordinance was put to a roll call vote of the Governing Body, and the members voted as follows: Thaler – Y, Leber - Y, Price - Y, Holland - Y, Jennewein - Y, Hellwege - Y, Cheeseman - Y, Murra - Y, Mayor Cole – Y. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared that the Ordinance has been adopted and directed publication thereof as required by law. 8. New Business A. Easement and agreement for Lot 1 of Wagner’s Addition in Government Lot 4 and accretions thereto in Section 19, Township 92 North, Range 51 West of the 5th Principal Meridian, Clay County, South Dakota. Shane Griese, Utility Manager, reported that due to the historic flooding in June of 2024 an emergency response was conducted to replace all three force mains at the City of Vermillion’s Wastewater Treatment Facility. Shane noted as part of the response, additional land was needed to allow for the force mains to be installed deeper and further from the riverbank. On August 13, 2024, the City Council approved a resolution granting the City Manager the ability to execute all contract documents related to the land purchase. Shane stated during the contract negotiations to purchase the additional land needed for the installation of the new force mains, an easement for hunting/fishing and farm equipment access was requested by the seller. Essentially, the seller wanted the option available for their tenant farming their abutting land to turn equipment around on the easement. The hunting easement would allow the seller to access the land for hunting if needed. Easement terms have been negotiated. 435-24 Council Member Holland moved approval of the easement and agreement for Lot 1 of Wagner’s Addition in Government Lot 4 and accretions thereto in Section 19, Township 92 North, Range 51 West of the 5th Principal Meridian, Clay County, South Dakota contingent upon the sale of the land. Council Member Hellwege seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. B. Addendum extending the end date to June 30, 2025 for the Reinvestment Payment Program Agreement with the University of South Dakota for the rebate of sales tax on the Wellness Center swimming pool project. John Prescott, City Manager, reported on extending the end date to June 30, 2025 for the Reinvestment Payment Program Agreement with the University of South Dakota for the rebate of sales tax on the Wellness Center swimming pool project. John noted in 2022, USD representatives presented information on the project to add a swimming pool to the Wellness Center. USD planned to invest over $31 million to construct this capital improvement. The need for additional funding to reach the estimated $31 million cost to move the project forward was part of the presentation. The City Council subsequently approved the rebate of local sales and use tax paid on eligible swimming pool construction costs to help USD obtain the needed funding to build it. John stated the agreement provides that the City will have 45 days from the end of each quarter to complete reimbursement. The current agreement requires that all eligible purchases and documentation must be completed by December 31, 2024, for reimbursement to be provided. The City’s participation in the reinvestment program is based on the local sales and use tax paid to Vermillion on qualifying construction costs and is capped at $1,000,000. USD has valued the sales tax rebate at $200,000. John noted all sales tax rebate amounts above $200,000 would reduce the Second Penny funding that is part of a separate Memorandum of Understanding providing payments from the Second Penny fund. These Second Penny payments started in 2022 and ended with the final payment in 2028. John noted the Assistant Vice President for Finance & Business Services, Jessica Preister, submitted a letter in August 2024 requesting an extension of the December 31, 2024, end date. Ms. Preister also attended the December 2, 2024, noon meeting to explain the request for an extension and answer questions from the City Council. John added the Wellness Center pool construction project completion has been delayed by weather conditions at the start of construction and more recently by soil conditions when the deep end was excavated. Substantial completion of the swimming pool construction project is now anticipated to be reached in mid-March 2025. It was noted that approximately 81% of the project costs have been paid to date. As of December 2, 2024, the City has rebated $79,627 of eligible sales tax paid in Vermillion. USD was requesting an extension of the eligible timeline for sales tax rebate documentation to be submitted and for the agreement end date to be June 30, 2025. The City Council directed Staff to prepare for consideration an addendum to the Reinvestment Payment Program Agreement to provide for additional time. 436-24 Council Member Cheeseman moved approval of the Addendum extending the end date to June 30, 2025 for the Reinvestment Payment Program Agreement with the University of South Dakota for the rebate of sales tax on the Wellness Center swimming pool project. Council Member Jennewein seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. C. Resolution amending Fire and Ambulance fee rates. Matthew Callahan, Chief of Fire/EMS, reported on changes to the fire and ambulance rates. Matt stated every year the Fire/EMS Department reviews the fees for the service schedule that was adopted the previous year for adjustments. Allowable reimbursements from Medicare and Wellmark Blue Cross/Blue Shield are used along with comparable billing figures from other agencies to set the next year’s fee schedule. Matt stated with changes to billing for the upcoming 2025 fiscal year, comes the need to revise the fee schedule for some items. There are slight increases in the cost of Advanced Life Support Non-Emergency, Additional Staffing, Standby for Special Events, Loaded Mileage Charge, and Airplane Transportation for flight crews. Matt noted this is to stay in line with the allowable billed amount by insurance companies. The removal of billing will also occur for Advanced Life Support – On-scene Care and Basic Life Support – On-scene Care as they are duplicates of other items we already bill for. All other fees will remain the same. 437-24 After reading the same once, Council Member Murra moved adoption of the following: RESOLUTION AMENDING FIRE AND AMBULANCE FEE RATES WHEREAS, the City Council establishes rates and fees for municipally- provided services; and WHEREAS, there is a need for changes over time due to medical and insurance field practices; and WHEREAS, the cost of maintenance, operations, and supplies has increased, and the fees are used as the main source of funding for the operation. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Governing Body of the City of Vermillion, South Dakota, at a regular meeting thereof in the Council Chambers that the following fee rates be amended as follows: Ambulance Call Billing: Advanced Life Support – Non-Emergency: $800.00 Additional Staffing (per person, per hour): $50.00 Standby for Special Events (Ambulance +2 Personnel, per hour): $200.00 Loaded Mileage Charge (per mile): $20.00 Airplane Transportation (Billed to Flight Company to Sanford Vermillion): $350.00 Airplane Transportation (Billed to Flight Company to Sanford Vermillion from Yankton Chan Gurney Airport): $700.00 BLS Bundle Charge: $175.00 ALS Bundle Charge: $250.00 Critical Care Bundle Charge: $300.00 All individual Disposal Supplies are removed. Transfer to Bundle Billing. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that Advanced Life Support – On-Scene Care, $500.00; and Basic Life Support - On-Scene Care, $400.00 be removed from the fee schedule. Dated at Vermillion, South Dakota this 16th day of December, 2024.  THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF VERMILLION, SOUTH DAKOTA BY____________________________ Jonathan D. Cole, Mayor ATTEST: BY___________________________________ Katie E Redden, Finance Officer The motion was seconded by Council Member Hellwege. 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. D. Resolution amending The Bluffs Golf Course cart fee rates. Jim Goblirsch, Parks and Recreation Director, reported on updates to The Bluff Golf Course cart fees. Jim stated during the 2025 budget planning process, Staff recommended reviewing season pass, green fee, and cart rental rates. Jim noted during the November 2024 Golf Advisory Board meeting, it was discussed that the rate for the 18-hole cart rental was below other courses in the area and did not correlate to the cost of the 9-hole cart rental fee. At the meeting, the consensus was to increase the 18-hole cart rental rate in accordance with other courses in the area and have a better correlation to The Bluffs 9-hole cart rental rate. No other rate changes were recommended. Jim stated in July of 2024, The Bluffs Golf Course entered into a new five-year lease with Yamaha Golf on 44 new golf carts. The cost of the new rental is $54,278 per year compared to the old five-year lease agreement which was $39,740 per year. A substantial portion of revenue at The Bluffs comes from cart rental fees, and so far in 2024, the revenue generated stands at $227,217. 438-24 After reading the same once, Council Member Hellwege moved adoption of the following: RESOLUTION AMENDING GOLF COURSE FEE RATES WHEREAS, the City Council establishes rates and fees for City services; and WHEREAS, the need for some fees changes over time due to industry practices and increased cost of providing service. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Governing Body of the City of Vermillion, South Dakota, at a regular meeting thereof in the Council Chambers of said City that the rate be adjusted as follows: Golf Course: Cart Rental: 18-Hole (per person) $30.00. This fee includes tax. Dated at Vermillion, South Dakota this 16th day of December, 2024. THE GOVERNING BODY OF THE CITY OF VERMILLION, SOUTH DAKOTA BY____________________________ Jonathan D. Cole, Mayor ATTEST: BY___________________________________ Katie E Redden, Finance Officer The motion was seconded by Council Member Leber. 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. E. Declaring a vehicle surplus. Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on declaring a vehicle surplus. As part of the equipment replacement schedule, several vehicles and pieces of equipment have been replaced. The equipment before the City Council at this time to be considered declared surplus consists of: DEPARMENT YEAR PURCHASED EQUIPMENT Street 2010 Ford F250 2x4 w/ flatbed Jose requested the City Council declare the above-mentioned equipment surplus. Jose noted since 2021 the City has used the online auction site Purple Wave. The City started using the site due to issues selling large pieces of equipment in the local market. Purple Wave is an online auction service specializing in vehicles and equipment. Purple Wave was recommended to City Staff by other governmental entities. Purple Wave charges a 10% fee to the purchaser on the highest bid. Selling items through auction does not require the equipment to be appraised. However, it does require that the vehicle/equipment be sold to the highest bidder. The winning bid may be less than the City expected and thus negatively impacting the Equipment Replacement Fund. 439-24 Council Member Price moved approval of declaring a 2010 Ford F250 2x4 with flatbed surplus. Council Member Jennewein seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. F. Commercial Collector (waste hauling) license renewals. Katie Redden, Finance Officer, reported that the following have made application, including the proof of insurance, for commercial collector’s licenses for 2025: Loren Fischer Disposal - Loren Fischer, Owner; Fischer Disposal, LLC - Lonnie Fischer, Operator; Art’s Garbage Service - Division of Waste Connections; Vermillion Garbage Service – VSG, Inc.; Herm’s Sanitation, Inc, and Waste Management of Sioux City, Iowa. Katie noted that, as part of the renewal, applicants were requested to include any violations of City ordinance and the Police Chief did a local record check on each applicant with her results included in the memo. 440-24 Council Member Murra moved approval of the commercial collector’s licenses for 2025 for the businesses listed. Council Member Holland seconded the motion. Discussion followed on the commercial collection license process. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. G. Public Safety Center Board appointment. John Prescott, City Manager, reported on the Public Safety Center Board member appointment. When the Public Safety Center was built, there was a Construction and Use Agreement entered into between the City of Vermillion and Clay County on January 21, 1988. The agreement provided for a Public Safety Center Board that would resolve any issues and/or conflicts between the City and County in the use of the facility. John noted that the current members of the board and the expiration of their current terms are Bruce Plate (2026), Steve Waller (2024), and Robert Fuller (2025). Sheriff Howe and Police Chief Brady are recommending the reappointment of Steve Waller for a term ending December 31, 2027. 441-24 Council Member Holland moved approval of appointing Steve Waller for the term expiring December 31, 2027. Council Member Jennewein seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. H. Certification and Approval of the Vermillion Area Urban Boundary Map. Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on Certification and Approval of the Vermillion Area Urban Boundary Map. Jose stated the DOT, in conjunction with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), requires each city to review its urban boundary maps. Jose noted the urban boundary map is a document used to delineate areas that may affect funding for City transportation projects. Jose stated the previous boundary map was adopted by the City Council in 2014. Jose reported the map was created by SD DOT in conjunction with FHWA and is used by the FHWA and the SD DOT as a planning tool. Although the map is not directly responsible for any funding, it may be used to determine funding between urban and rural areas for roadways, and when applying for certain Federal grants. Jose noted after City Council action, this map will be reviewed and, hopefully, adopted by the County. After the City and County approve the map, it will have to be approved by FHWA. Once all the signatures are acquired, the City will work with the SD DOT to modify the functional classification of streets, which will then affect the amount of money the City receives for STP funding. 442-24 Council Member Cheeseman moved approval of the Certification and Approval of the Vermillion Area Urban Boundary Map and allow the mayor to sign the map. Council Member Jennewein seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. I. 2025 Master Fee Schedule; Fees Set by Resolution. Jack Baustian, Assistant to the City Manager, reported on the 2025 Master Fee Schedule. Jack noted due to the large variety of activities that the City is involved with across the organization, a number of different fees are charged for services provided. A fee schedule has been presented annually to the City Council to offer a comprehensive list of fees and in some cases, to adjust as needed. There are still changes in fees during the year. One example is that the sanitary sewer charges are set each April following the determination of the average monthly domestic use based on winter water consumption. Jack stated many sections of the City Code contain language that indicates a fee is set by resolution. The City began solely utilizing this approach with the code revision in 2008. Jack noted three documents are attached. The first document is the 2024 Fee Schedule as it currently stands. This document provides the fees that are charged by the City for services provided. Jack added the second is a document that shows the changes being made based on items 8c and 8d on the agenda. This is a draft of the 2025 Fee Schedule. If approved, this document will be amended to show the changes. Jack noted the third document provides a current complete list of all fees that were solely established by resolution. Administration updates this list as fees are established. Jack stated fee changes may come from different sources. Some changes arise out of budget discussions while others come from a City Council committee, advisory committee, or administrative staff recommendations. Jack noted having a comprehensive list of fees provides the City Council and Staff with a resource that can be utilized when questions of cost are presented. This document also helps the public by providing information regarding the dollar amount that is charged for the respective services that are provided by the City. If the City Council wants to adjust a fee, this document will serve as a vehicle to help accomplish this goal. The document also serves as a resource when members of the City Council or administrative staff want to evaluate fees. The Master Fee Schedule is annually updated on the City’s website. This is important as numerous fees become effective by being written into a resolution. 443-24 Council Member Price moved approval of the 2025 Master Fee Schedule. Council Member Hellwege seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. 444-24 Council Member Price moved approval of the Fees Set by Resolution. Council Member Cheeseman seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. 9. Bid Openings - None 10. City Manager's Report A. John reported one opening for a two-year term on the Tree Board. Interested residents are asked to complete an Expression of Interest form by 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, December 26, 2024.

Available on the Library’s website or there are paper copies at the Library and City Hall. H. John thanked the Dakota Hospital Foundation for the recently awarded $5,000 grant to help with the cost of a new ventilator for the EMS department. I. John reported on two raffle notifications:  USD Spirit Teams will be selling tickets at $1 each, 6 tickets for $5, or 25 tickets for $20 during their event on January 12, 2025. It is a 50/50 drawing with half of the proceeds going to the winner and the other half going to help fund their trip to the 2025 College Cheerleading & Dance Team national competition in Orlando from January 16-20, 2025.  The Clay County Fair Board will be selling 50 /50 raffle tickets from January 8, 2025 to August 9, 2025.
