Jack Baustian, Assistant to the City Manager, reported on an application to close West Kidder Street from Court Street to the alleyway one-half block west. Jack noted that the South Dakota Law Enforcement Torch Run, in conjunction with Special Olympics South Dakota, are hosting their annual Polar Plunge event to raise funds for Special Olympics South Dakota. Per the application, this is the largest fundraising event for Special Olympics South Dakota, which uses the funding to provide year- round training and services to thousands of athletes with intellectual disabilities across the State. Jack noted the request for the closure of West Kidder Street provides ample space for setup of the event along with participants, hosts, and attendees to support the event. The applicant stated that Old Lumber Company will be the only business directly impacted by the closure. As they are also a sponsor of the event, they have been properly notified of the requested closure. Jack noted the Police, Fire, and EMS Departments have all been notified of the closure requests and have found no safety concerns. Volunteers will assist with the setup and teardown upon conclusion of the Polar Plunge and the applicant has discussed contingencies with the Street Superintendent in the event of a snowstorm. 6-25 Council Member Price moved approval of the request to close West Kidder Street from Court Street to the alley between Court Street and Market Street on Saturday, February 15, 2025 from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for the Vermillion Polar Plunge for Special Olympics South Dakota.

John Prescott, City Manager, reported Jim Peterson presented an update on the efforts to raise the funding and information on the Grow Vermillion campaign at the December 16, 2024 noon meeting. John noted the VCDC requested that the City of Vermillion participate financially in the Grow Vermillion Capital Campaign with contributions during 2026-2029 timeframe. John added that after discussion by the City Council, the administration was asked to bring a resolution pledging annual funding of $100,000 a year for 2026 through 2029 to the first meeting in January for further consideration. John stated the VCDC has not typically offered a preference on the City funding source of the contribution. John noted that allocations to the Vermillion Now efforts from the 2nd Penny fund were held by the City until a qualifying infrastructure expense was identified. As such, contributions from the 2nd Penny fund are more restrictive with respect to how the capital campaigns can utilize them. John noted the allocation of a City pledge between BBB and 2nd Penny funds is an item to take into account when considering a pledge. John stated the community has seen a number of improvements with the first three capital campaigns. John noted administration recommends approval of the Resolution providing $100,000 of funding for 2026 through 2029 to the Grow Vermillion campaign with $75,000 coming from the Bed, Board, and Booze fund and the remaining $25,000 being earmarked in the 2nd Penny fund for eligible items. 7-25 After reading the same once, Council Member Jennewein moved adoption of the following: RESOLUTION PLEDGING FUNDING TO THE GROW VERMILLION CAMPAIGN WHEREAS, the City of Vermillion (City) pledged funds to the original Vermillion Now! campaign, the Vermillion Now!2 campaign, and the Vermillion Now!3 campaign to help the community grow and address economic development needs; and WHEREAS, the Vermillion Area Chamber and Development Company is completing a capital campaign entitled Grow Vermillion with a goal of achieving $1.5 million in pledges; and WHEREAS, the Grow Vermillion campaign has three focus areas of Housing Solutions, Workforce/Talent, and Community Enhancements of which all three areas of investments will help to build the Vermillion community; and WHEREAS, the City committed $100,000 of funding in the 2025 budget for the Grow Vermillion campaign but did not commit an amount beyond 2025; and WHEREAS, the Vermillion Area Chamber and Development Company has presented information on the Grow Vermillion campaign and requested a pledge of funding for 2026 through 2029; and WHEREAS, the City Council believes that activity and investment in the three focus areas is important to the growth and development of the community and desires to pledge funding to Grow Vermillion for 2026 through 2029 with the understanding that the source of funding can change and that future City Councils are not bound to the pledge or the amount. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Governing Body of the City of Vermillion pledges to provide $100,000 of funding for each year from 2026 through 2029 to the Grow Vermillion campaign with $75,000 coming from the Bed, Board, and Booze fund and $25,000 of 2nd Penny funding annually being allocated for Grow Vermillion to spend on a project which is an eligible use of the funds and upon approval of and documentation of the qualifying expenditure. Dated at Vermillion, South Dakota, this 6th day of January, 2025.  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 Thaler. 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. C. Pre-Annexation Agreement with AMS Building Systems, LLC, for the property known as 1702, 1704 and 2004 SD Hwy. 19, and legally described as Munger Tract 1 in the S 1/2; and, Munger Tract 2 in the NW 1/4 SE 1/4 and in the SW 1/4 NE 1/4; and, Munger Tract 3 in the NW 1/4 SE 1/4; all in 11-T92N-R52W, 5th P.M., Clay County, South Dakota. Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the City and AMS Building Systems, LLC have been working together for several months on a Pre- Annexation Agreement that lays out a plan on how the annexation would occur for the property addressed as 1702, 1704, and 2004 SD Hwy. 19. Jose noted this property is approximately a quarter of a mile north of city limits along the west side of SD Hwy. 19 and is within the Joint Jurisdictional Zoning Area (JJZA) which is abutted on the south, west, and north by the A-1: Agricultural District. Along the east, the property is adjacent to the RR: Rural Residential District. Jose stated on October 29, 2024, the City Council and the County Board of Commissioners considered the first reading of a rezoning request for the same property. Jose noted that after discussion, and following City Staff and City Planning and Zoning Commission recommendations, the City Council advanced the rezoning request to the second reading with the understanding that the Pre-Annexation Agreement be signed prior to the second reading on the rezoning request occurring. Jose stated that in 2024, the City’s Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that Staff use “pre-annexation agreements” as a tool to consider larger developments within the Joint Jurisdictional Zoning Area with the intent of being annexed in the future. Jose noted the agreements could set trigger points (e.g. when annexation would take place, how the utilities would be considered, etc.). These agreements would be between the City and the developer and would be approved by the City Council. Pre-annexation agreements are allowed under SDCL 9-4-1.1. This Statute states that “a municipality may enter into an agreement with any landowner specifying the conditions under which the landowner’s property may be annexed pursuant to 9-4-1 or developed.” Jose stated the Pre-Annexation Agreement being considered states that if signed, the document would function as the “Petition for Annexation” and that the signatories are (at least) three-fourths of the registered voters and owners of at least three-fourths of the value of the area. This would meet the criteria set in SDCL 9-4-1 that require the City to receive a written petition from the owners of the land being considered for annexation. Jose stated the agreement describes in detail that the future owners will need to proceed with the annexation when requested by the City. The document spells out the process to follow so that the future owners have an opportunity to voice their opinions about being annexed prior to the City Council deciding to annex the property. These steps are: (1) invite the future owners to a public hearing where the future owners will be able to discuss the proposed annexation: and, (2) after discussion, the City Council may annex the property or delay the annexation to a future date; and (3) if the annexation is delayed a new public hearing will be held to discuss the annexation in the future; and (4) if desired, the City and future owners may enter into a written agreement that sets a schedule for the annexation. Jose noted all the public utilities will be installed within the public rights-of-way or within public utility easements. Jose stated the agreement will also include, for reference, a letter that summarizes the discussions had between the City and AMS regarding public utilities. The letter is not binding and none of the items mentioned in the letter are part of the agreement. If in the future AMS or the City want to formalize anything stated in the letter, the agreement being discussed tonight would have to be amended to include the new item. Essentially, the letter serves as a mechanism to inform future owners of the discussions that were had between the City and AMS. Jose noted that if both parties sign the agreement, Staff will file the agreement at the Register of Deeds. Doing this allows any future property owner in the area to know about the agreement since it would be disclosed to them when they purchase property. 8-25 Council Member Hellwege moved approval of the Pre-Annexation Agreement with AMS Building Systems, LLC, for the property known as 1702, 1704 and 2004 SD Hwy. 19, and legally described as Munger Tract 1 in the S 1/2; and, Munger Tract 2 in the NW 1/4 SE 1/4 and in the SW 1/4 NE 1/4; and, Munger Tract 3 in the NW 1/4 SE 1/4; all in 11-T92N-R52W, 5th P.M., Clay County, South Dakota. Council Member Murra seconded the motion. Motion carried 9 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted D. First reading of Ordinance 1527 to amend Title V, Public Works; Chapter 52, Garbage and Trash; Section 52.12 Collection to amend language to provide for a fine set by Resolution. John Prescott, City Manager, reported after several meetings with the licensed haulers in 2007 and 2008, the City Council adopted resolutions which established the days and start times for residential and business solid waste collection. John noted the City Code notes that the start time for collection and the days of the week for collection will be set by Resolution. The Code also notes that it shall be unlawful to collect garbage before the approved start time. John noted the Code does not state how a fine for a violation will be established and recently, a waste hauler was cited for collection of solid waste in a residential area before the designated collection start time. In the absence of an established fine, the City Attorney and hauler had to appear before the magistrate judge for the determination of a fine. John stated the proposed ordinance will amend City Code to allow the City Council to set a fine for a violation of the ordinance via adoption of a resolution. This would allow any future violators to pay the ticket, if agreeable, vs. going to court. A fine for a violation of this section of City Code would be established at the second reading of the ordinance. 9-25 Mayor Cole read the title to the above-mentioned Ordinance and Council Member Price moved adoption of the following Resolution: BE IT RESOLVED that the minutes of this meeting shall show that the title to proposed Ordinance No. 1527 entitled An Ordinance Amending Title V, Public Works; Chapter 52, Garbage and Trash; Section 52.12 Collection to amend language to provide for a fine set by Resolution of the City of Vermillion, South Dakota has been read and the Ordinance has been considered to advance to the second reading at this meeting being a regularly called meeting of the Governing Body of the City on this 6th day of January, 2025 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 Leber. After discussion the question of adoption of the Resolution was put to a vote of the Governing Body and 9 members voted in favor of and 0 members voted in opposition to the motion. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted. E. Tree Board appointment.
