Nick Doty, Deputy Finance Officer, reported that the South Dakota

wine license for the Shakespeare performances on June 26-29, 2025, at
the Prentis Park bandshell area. Nick stated that the Police Chief’s
report and notice of hearing are included in the packet. Nick stated
that, since the event is being held on City property, ordinance provides
that the City Council may include such conditions and restrictions as
the governing body deems appropriate. Nick stated that the certificate
of insurance naming the City as additional insured with liquor liability
has been received at this time.
Nick recommended approval of the special permit contingent upon the
receipt of the certificate of insurance and complying with the Police
Chief’s recommendations unless information is presented at the public
hearing. Discussion followed.
Council Member Holland stated due to conflict of interest he is
abstaining from voting.
78-25

beverage and wine license for the South Dakota Shakespeare Festival on

Hellwege seconded the motion. Motion carried 7 to 0 to 1. Mayor Cole
declared the motion adopted.
B. Appeal of building official’s denial of a permit for 300 Spruce Street.
Alex Goodburn, Building Official, reported on a denial of a permit for
300 Spruce Street. Alex stated Walker Construction applied for a building
permit to convert 12 3-bedroom units into 12 1-bedroom units at 300
Spruce Street. Alex noted that prior discussions with Walker Construction
and Coyote Rental Properties stipulated that this construction would
require installation of a fire sprinkler system due to the level of
alterations involved. The contractor submitted a building permit
application without building plans or details to the Building Official.
Alex stated he denied the building permit application for the following
reasons: The application did not have construction plans, and the
contractor and building owner stated they would not install a fire
sprinkler system as required by the code as adopted.
Alex noted that the City adopted the 2018 International Existing Building
Code (IEBC) and the Building Official has determined that this type of
work would be a Level 2 Alteration according to the IEBC 2018 Chapter 6
Classification of Work. Alex noted that when considering code
requirements, the IEBC determines classifications based on the level or
scope of the work being done. Each classification is broken into three
levels of alteration. A Level 1 Alteration does not require the building
to be brought up to the current code because it consists of general
repairs or replacement; however, when a building plan falls into a Level
2 or 3 Alteration, the building must adhere to the current adopted code.
Alex stated he determined the contractor’s proposed work to be a Level
2 Alteration, as it consists of the living space reconfiguration within
all 12 units, including the removal of walls and doors. Thus, as a Level
2 Alteration, the building would be required to meet the current code as
adopted.
Alex stated the building owner and contractor are contesting the
interpretation of the code and are appealing the Building Official’s
decisions according to the Vermillion Code of Ordinance, Chapter 150.02
International Building Code Adopted, (13) A 113.1 Application for appeal:
“An application for appeal shall be based on a claim that the true intent
of this code or the rules legally adopted there under have been
incorrectly interpreted, the provisions of this code do not fully apply,
or the requirements of this code are adequately satisfied by other means.
The board shall not have authority to waive the requirements of this
code.”
John Walker, Walker Construction, stated he disagrees with the code due
to the fact that they are only taking out three walls to make it more
economical. John noted that each unit would have audible fire alarms for
safety.
Jim Peterson, VCDC CEO, stated there is need for one-room apartments.
Council Member Thaler asked if there was any change to load bearing or
structural walls. John Walker stated nothing would be changed.
Council Member Leber asked if this satisfies the fire department.
Discussion followed on a previous decision by the council for a different
apartment complex.
Council Member Cheeseman asked if the expense was the issue.
John Walker stated that it is expensive trying to retrofit a 90s building.
Council Member Holland asked Chief Callahan if an alarm is better or the
same as the sprinkler system.
Chief Callahan stated that fire and smoke alarms are only as good as the
response of the alarm. Callahan noted that many students become
complacent and a lot of them do not leave the apartment. Callahan noted
that they have seen this time and time again at the university.
Council Member Hellwege stated that there are 12 units therefore up to
24 people. Hellwege stated that the reconfiguration of space is what
requires this type of fire system. Hellwege noted that we have updated
fire codes, and it is on the council to uphold the rules, not just the
individuals that live there.
Council Member Murra agrees that we have already set precedence with
this. Murra stated the significant amount of money that is needed to
upgrade old buildings is going to cause people not to come renovate
buildings here.
Council Member Jennewein agrees with Murra on scaring people away from
updating their buildings. Jennewein noted that the factors are different
in this situation which causes her to be torn on this.
Council Member Cheeseman asked what was in it currently. John noted that
it is individual alarms.
Council Member Jennewein asked if there are differences between a home
vs apartment building.
Alex stated that there are two different codes and different regulations
are applied to different buildings.
John Hines with Carry Huff stated that legal counsel stands that this is
a Level 2 Alteration.
Discussion followed on Level 2 vs Level 1 alterations and what the Council
is deciding.
79-25
Council Member Murra moved to approve the appeal with the satisfaction
by other means of an audible fire alarm. Council Member Thaler seconded
the motion. A roll call vote of the Governing Body was as follows: Thaler
– Y, Leber - N, Holland - Y, Jennewein - N, Hellwege - N, Cheeseman - Y,
Murra - Y, Mayor Cole - Y. Motion carried 5 to 3. Mayor Cole declared
the motion adopted.
7. Old Business - None
8. New Business
A. Memorandum of Understanding with HME Companies for Tax Increment
Financing.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that HME Companies (HME) has an
option to purchase Block 3 of Jack Powell Addition from the Vermillion
Area Chamber and Development Company. John noted HME is planning to
construct up to 135 multi-family housing units on the approximately 3.8-
acre parcel. They are interested in creating a Tax Increment Financing
(TIF) District to help fund a portion of the developer’s costs to
construct the development. If a TIF District is established, property
taxes generated by the new construction would be utilized to help retire
a portion of the debt taken out to make the improvements.
John stated HME is in the process of securing financing for the project.
They have requested the approval of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
indicating the City’s intent to work with the developer to create a TIF
for the project. Potential financial partners of HME Companies will
typically view the creation of a TIF District as a secure income stream
to help repay a portion of the funds borrowed for construction.
John noted the MOU indicates that the City will work with the HME
Companies to create a TIF for Block 3 of Jack Powell Addition. The MOU
also notes that no representation is made that the City Council will
ultimately approve a TIF for the project. John stated the MOU anticipates
that there are approximately $1,466,905 of project costs and the maximum
TIF would not exceed $2,010,067. This figure includes $543,162 of
interest costs at 4%. The exact amount of the TIF can be negotiated once
HME Companies is able to secure the private financing needed to construct
the project. The MOU stipulates that the developer will need to secure
project financing by August 3, 2025.
John reported the MOU notes that the City is not responsible for the
debt taken out by the developer and that the TIF amount does not reflect
all of the project costs of construction. The MOU also notes that the
City’s participation in the TIF District will end if the State does not
provide an Affordable Housing designation for the TIF District. A
majority of the language in the MOU will also be found in the TIF Project
Plan and Developer’s Agreement which are future steps if the project is
able to secure private financing.
80-25
Council Member Murra moved approval of the Memorandum of Understanding
with HME Companies for Tax Increment Financing. Council Member Hellwege
seconded the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the
motion adopted.
B. Sidewalk Furniture Use Zone Lease for CeeCee’s Hospitality Inc.
Katie Redden, Finance Officer, reported that Josh Scherrer submitted a
Sidewalk Furniture Use Zone Permit application for CeeCee’s Hospitality
Inc. in Lease Lot E in front of 1 E. Main Street. Their plan is to set
up seven tables in this area with proper rubbish containers and
stanchions.
Katie noted the applicant has submitted a crowd management plan. The plan
has been reviewed by the Police Department. The Police Chief reported no
incidents with the previous use of Lease Lot E last year.
Katie noted that in completing the application for a Sidewalk Furniture
Use Zone Lease, the applicant has addressed many of the special
conditions of other uses of City property involving alcohol. An insurance
certificate naming the City as an additional insured and cleanup plan
are part of the sidewalk use permit process. The Sidewalk Furniture Use
Zone application documents were received.
Katie noted the applicant is also requesting to use this area during
Dakota Days. In the crowd management plan, they’ve outlined the plan for
Dakota Days where there will be a dedicated person serving in that area.
The City Council has allowed limited alcohol sales on a sidewalk space
during Dakota Days for the last three years.
81-25
Council Member Holland moved approval of the Sidewalk Furniture Use Zone
Lease for CeeCee’s Hospitality Inc. Council Member Jennewein seconded
the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
C. Hangar Lease Agreement with Mr. Tim Schram.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that in January 2025, Mr. Tim
Schram and Mr. Gerald Flannery visited with him regarding transferring
the lease agreement Mr. Flannery had with the City for the land where
his hangar sits. Mr. Schram purchased the hangar from Mr. Flannery and
wants to take responsibility for the lease of the land. Jose noted this
typically requires that the City transfer the lease agreement, however,
prior to doing this Staff verified that the lease agreement is valid.
Jose noted that while searching for the lease agreement it was discovered
that neither the City nor Mr. Flannery have a copy of the lease agreement.
Mr. Flannery’s lease was one of the first leases entered, and to the
best of our knowledge, has never been renewed. Because a copy of the
lease does not exist, and because ownership of the hangar changed, Mr.
Schram would like to enter into a new lease agreement with the City.
Jose noted the lease agreement with Mr. Schram is typical for the new
lease agreements at the airport. Among other items, the agreement
discusses the following:
• The length of the lease (a 10-year lease, with two additional 10-
year options)
• The lease amount (10 cents per square foot for the unused land and
5 cents per square foot for the land covered by the hangar)
• Places a cap on future lease increases (no more than 10 cents per
square foot)
• Lease payments (once per year)
The agreement was reviewed by the City Attorney and Mr. Schram.
Council Member Jennewein noted that it would not be a good idea to
postpone this due to the applicant thinking this amount is set already.
82-25
Council Member Thaler moved to postpone this item till numbers are
available from other leased areas. Council Member Leber seconded the
motion. Motion carried 5 to 3. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
9. Bid Openings
A. Jolley Elementary School – demolition and site grading.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that in late 2024, the City
acquired the former Jolley Elementary School from the Vermillion School
District. The intent of the City has always been to raze the school
building to prepare the area for the construction of single-family homes
and a park.
Jose noted the bid was divided into two portions. A base bid covering
the demolition of the building and parking areas and a bid alternate that
covers grading the entire area for residential use.
Jose stated as part of the base bid, the City will reimburse the
contractor for all the landfill fees associated with hauling asbestos-
contaminated items. Items that contain asbestos must be disposed of at
the landfill. Reimbursing the contractor for the fee ensures that
asbestos items are disposed of at the landfill and that the cost for the
disposal is similar amongst all contractors (e.g. the fee is the same
and there is more control over any contractor markup). City Staff will
require that all asbestos items be kept in a separate pile. Jose noted
the City will also keep track of the truckloads going to the landfill,
and once the contractor pays the landfill, Staff will cross-reference
the truckloads with the paid loads prior to the reimbursement. It is
estimated that the City will have to reimburse the contractor somewhere
between $80,000 and $100,000. This is not included in the base or bid
alternate. Staff believes that this cost would be very similar between
all bidders.
Jose reported the City sent the plans and specifications to 9 plan houses
and 20 contractors. Out of those sent, the City received 16 bids for the
bid opening on March 12th. Out of those received, only 15 were read. The
sixteenth bid was not read because the proposal was not signed by the
bidder. The bid tabulation is included in the City Council packet. The
bids that were read ranged from $320,143.46 to $1,401,724.50, with the
low bid being Walker Construction, Vermillion, with a base bid of
$250,816.62, a bid alternate of $69,326.84, and a total bid of
$320,143.46.
Jose noted demolition is anticipated to begin in late March, or early
April after the contract is signed and other post-bid award items are
completed.
Discussion followed on asbestos.
83-25
Council Member Murra moved approval of the Walker Construction,
Vermillion, with a base bid of $250,816.62, a bid alternate of
$69,326.84, and a total bid of $320,143.46. Council Member Jennewein
seconded the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the
motion adopted.
B. Surface Treatment Program – slurry seal for Sioux Falls and
surrounding communities.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported on slurry seal bids for Sioux
Falls and surrounding communities. Jose noted for several years that the
City of Sioux Falls has allowed neighboring communities to join the bid
issued by them. This allows for a more competitive price to be shared by
all the communities involved. The City joined the City of Sioux Falls
and other communities in their slurry seal project awarded in February
2022. Vermillion’s portion of this project was completed in 2023. The
delay was due to issues with equipment and COVID-related procurement
issues.
Jose noted that the low bid was with Asphalt Surface Technologies
Corporation, St. Cloud, MN, $5,129,583.85. Jose stated the City of Sioux
Falls reviewed and awarded the bid to the apparent low bidder at their
March 10th meeting and recommended that the other communities also award
their portions of the project to the same contractor.
The City’s project will slurry seal the following streets:
• Constance Drive from James Street to Oscar Howe Drive
• Baylor Street from Constance Drive to James Street
• James Street from West Cherry Street to Baylor Street
• Vonnie Street from James Street to Tom Street
• North Pine Street from East Cherry Street to East Main Street
• Lewis Street from South Plum Street to South Norbeck Street
• Jane Street from South Plum Street to Sycamore Avenue
• Walker Street from East Main Street to Thomas Street
• Ridgecrest Drive from Valley View Drive to the end of the cul-de-
sac
Jose noted the City’s portion of the contract will be $176,652.23. This
will cover all the streets mentioned above.
84-25
Council Member Leber moved approval of the bid from Asphalt Surface
Technologies Corporation, St. Cloud, MN with the City’s potion being
$179,652.23. Council Member Cheeseman seconded the motion. Motion carried
8 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
