7. Old Business
A. Second Reading of Ordinance 1536 to amend Title XI, Chapter 114,
Sections 114.01 through 114.05, 114.08 and 114.10 Amending the
Regulations Governing Transportation Network Drivers and Companies.
Alex Ruth, Assistant to the City Manager, reported on the second reading
of Ordinance 1536. Alex stated there were redundancies within the
regulations that govern Taxicabs and Transportation Network
Drivers/Companies (TNC). Taxicabs and TNC have almost the same
requirements but are listed separately. Alex noted there is also a
definition provided for Vehicle for Hire, which is any vehicle licensed
under the chapter as a taxicab or TNC personal vehicle. Since this
encompasses both types of vehicles, but all three were still used in the
code, there were a lot of redundancies.
Alex noted that in 2019 there were changes made to alter the background
check requirements and add a requirement to provide a copy of the
company’s sales tax permit, to prove that they are in good standing with
the state.
Alex stated the purpose of these changes is to streamline the ordinance
by removing redundant language and provisions that are already covered
elsewhere in the code. The proposed amendments eliminate redundancies
between taxicabs and TNCs by utilizing the umbrella term vehicle-for-
hire for both. The separate sections that are specific to each, TNC or
taxicab, remain in the code.
Alex noted the revisions do not create new regulatory requirements or
alter the City’s current regulatory intent. Instead, they clarify and
simplify the ordinance, making it easier to read, interpret, and enforce.
Alex stated following discussion at the Council meeting on July 16,
Staff updated some language in the ordinance and removed some of the
original changes, to be clear with the regulations required for taxicabs
and TNCs. Some of these changes are substantive, which will require a
first reading. Staff recommend postponing this item and an updated
ordinance will be provided at the August 4 City Council meeting.
Alex reported Staff began looking into other cities’ regulations of TNCs
and whether the City needs to regulate them, since TNC drivers are
regulated by the TNC company. Staff looked at 11 other cities and their
regulations and found that 6 cities regulate TNCs and 5 do not. Aberdeen,
Mitchell, Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Watertown, and Yankton do have
regulations on TNCs; while Brookings, Huron, Madison, Spearfish, and
Sturgis do not. Between the cities that do regulate TNCs, Vermillion is
on the lighter side of regulations.
Alex noted the City Council will also need to decide if TNC drivers
should be regulated.
Discussion followed on the differences between first reading and second
reading for this ordinance. Discussion was also made about postponing
this or tabling it.
Council Member Price said if TNC companies are already regulating all
drivers then the City does not need to regulate this.
Mayor Cole stated that TNCs regulate their drivers every three to six
months.
Council Member Jennewein stated that if a company that is not already in
place comes forward and they do not have these regulations the City
would be put in a bad spot.
232-25
Council Member Jennewein moved to postpone Ordinance 1536 indefinitely.
Council Member Thaler seconded the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor
Cole declared the motion adopted.
8. New Business
A. MidAmerican Energy Annual Report.
Sam Wagner, representing MidAmerican Energy, reported on their presence
in Vermillion. Sam stated that they have a nine-man crew that represents
Vermillion. Sam reported that in 2025, 24 new services have already
taken place.
B. Request to temporarily remove parking on the east and west side of
North Dakota Street from the Sanford Coyote Sports Center’s loading dock
to SD Hwy. 50 and to close Rose Street from the front edge of the parking
lots south of Coyote Village north to the Sanford Coyote Sports Center
for the Fall 2025 USD home football games and playoffs on September 13,
September 20, October 4, October 25, November 1, November 8, November
29, December 6, December 13, and December 20 from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Alex Ruth, Assistant to the City Manager, reported USD has submitted a
street closure request to remove parking on the east and west side of
North Dakota Street from the Sanford Coyote Sports Center’s (SCSC)
loading dock to SD Hwy. 50 and to close Rose Street from the front edge
of parking lots south of Coyote Village north to the SCSC for six Fall
2025 USD home football games and for four Fall 2025 playoff games. The
requested closures will be from 2:00 a.m. until 7:00 p.m. for the ten
football games. Alex stated that University police and University staff
will be in control of all the barricades. Alex noted that the Fire Chief
does not see a problem with this request.
Council Member Leber asked why the entire road to Highway 50 needs to be
blocked off. Leber stated this looks like they are pushing people into
the paid parking lot.
Discussion followed on street parking north of Yellow Lot A.
233-25
Council Member Murra moved approval of the request to temporarily remove
parking on the east and west side of North Dakota Street from the Sanford
Coyote Sports Center’s loading dock to USD’s Yellow Lot A and to close

Village north to the Sanford Coyote Sports Center for the Fall 2025 USD

4, October 25, November 1, November 8, November 29, December 6, December
13, and December 20 from 2:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Council Member Cheeseman
seconded the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the

C. Request to temporarily remove parking on the east side curb of North
University Street as it abuts the Natatorium for the 2025-2026 USD home
swim meets on October 3, October 24, October 31-November 1, 2025, January
24, and January 30-January 31, 2026, from 2:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Alex Ruth, Assistant to the City Manager, reported USD has submitted a
street closure request to temporarily remove parking on the east side
curb of North University Street as it abuts the Natatorium for the
2025-2026 USD home swim meets on October 3, October 24, October 31-
November 1, 2025, January 24, and January 30-January 31, 2026, from 2:00
a.m. to 10:00 p.m.
Alex stated this curb closing request will allow for the unloading and
loading of buses before parking, which provides athletes with safe
accessibility to and from the meets in the Natatorium. The completed
street closure request application and diagram are attached.
Alex noted UPD will provide set up and removal of the barricades after
the meets and street parking can resume. USD Athletics is also working
with the Wellness Center for this event. Alex stated Street, Fire/EMS,
and Police departments have all been notified of this closure and had no
issues with it.
234-25
Council Member Price moved approval of the request to temporarily remove
parking on the east side curb of North University Street as it abuts the
Natatorium to the for the 2025-2026 USD home swim meets on October 3,
October 24, October 31-November 1, 2025, January 24, and January 30-
January 31, 2026, from 2:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. Council Member Cheeseman
seconded the motion. Motion carried 7 to 1. Mayor Cole declared the
motion adopted.
D. Request by Haan Development to reduce building permit fee for a tax
credit, income qualified townhomes proposed for Lot 1, Block 2, Madison
Park Addition.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported that the Haan Development contacted
the City in June 2025 and indicated that they were interested in
developing 28-34 townhomes in Vermillion. The current plan is to have
28-34 townhomes which would be rented to qualifying individuals with an
income below 60% of the area median income for Clay County. The rent
would not exceed 30% of the household income. The property is currently
zoned R-3 which is appropriate for this type of apartment development.
John stated part of the funding for the construction of the townhomes is
federal tax credits. John noted Haan Development will be submitting an
application to the South Dakota Housing Development Authority seeking
the award of a portion of the State’s share of federal tax credits for
the project. The awarding of tax credits is a competitive process. The
applications are evaluated on a 1000-point scale. An application can
receive 20 points through the demonstration of local financial support
for the project. John stated Haan Development has submitted a request
seeking a reduction in the City building permit fee, of not less than
$10,001 and not more than $10,500, related to this project. The estimated
cost for the building permit is $15,192. A copy of the email making the
request and a template letter which would be submitted as part of the
application, if the request is funded, are part of the packet.
John noted the policy question for the City Council is to what extent,
if any, the fee should be reduced and how can a fee reduction be justified
to others seeking building permits. Staff would suggest that the building
permit fee only be reduced when such a reduction is needed to earn
points in a competitive, tax-credit project to meet a need documented by
the City Council. Staff would also suggest reimbursing the building
permit fee upon completion of the project.
235-25
Council Member Jennewein moved approval of reducing the building permit
fees by $10,001 for Haan Development Lot 1, Block 2, Madison Park
Addition. Council Member Cheeseman seconded the motion. Motion carried
8 to 0. Mayor Cole declared the motion adopted.
E. Resolution for approval of the issuance and sale of revenue bond to
finance the purchase of equipment for the Joint Powers Landfill.
Katie Redden, Finance Officer, reported on the resolution for issuance
of a revenue bond for the purchase of a dozer for the Joint Powers
Landfill. Katie noted the landfill dozer has reached the end of its
useful life, a new dozer needs to be purchased. The City applied for a
Solid Waste Management Program grant for $511,000 and a State Revolving
Fund (SRF) loan through the Department of Agriculture and Natural
Resources (DANR) in December 2024. In March 2025, the City was notified
that a grant for $102,200 and a SRF loan of up to $409,100, for 7 years,
at 3.25%, have been approved by the DANR Board.
Katie stated the resolution will authorize up to $409,100 of revenue
bonds for the purchase of the dozer. The resolution provides for the
Mayor, Finance Officer, City Attorney, and other City officials to
execute and deliver the necessary documents to complete the transaction.
Katie noted the bond resolution was prepared by Dorsey & Whitney LLP,
Bond Counsel, and has been reviewed by the City Attorney.

Paying Agent/Registrar. The Revenue Bond shall be payable at the office
of the Finance Officer, City of Vermillion, South Dakota, hereby
designated as paying agent and registrar.
System Fund Accounts. For the purpose of application and proper
allocation of the income of the System and to secure the payment of
principal of and interest on the Revenue Bond, the following funds shall
be used solely for the following respective purposes until payment in
full of the principal of and interest on the Revenue Bond:
Solid Waste System Fund. A fund designated as the Solid Waste System
Fund (the “Fund”) has been established and shall be maintained as a
separate and special bookkeeping account on the official books of the
City until the Revenue Bond and any Additional Bonds, as defined in the
Loan Agreement (together referred to as the “Bonds”) payable from the
Net Revenues of the System, Administrative Expense Surcharge and
redemption premiums due thereon have been fully paid, or the Issuer’s
obligation with reference to the Bond has been discharged as provided in
this resolution. All proceeds of the Bond and all other funds hereafter
received or appropriated for purposes of the System are appropriated to
the Fund. All gross revenues of the System, to the extent permitted by
the Joint Powers Agreement (the “Gross Revenues”) are irrevocably pledged
and appropriated and shall be credited to the Fund as received. Such
Gross Revenues shall include all gross income and receipts from rates
and charges imposed for the availability, benefit and use of the System
as now constituted and of all replacements and improvements thereof and
additions thereto, and from penalties and interest thereon, and from any
sales of property acquired for the System and all income received from
the investment of such gross revenues; but not any taxes levied or amounts
borrowed or received as grants for construction of any part of the System.
The Fund shall be subdivided into separate accounts as designated and
described hereinafter, to segregate income and expenses received, paid
and accrued for the respective purposes described in those sections. The
Gross Revenues of the System received in the Fund shall be apportioned
monthly or as soon as possible after the first day of each month,
commencing the first calendar month following the delivery of the Bond,
which apportionment is hereinafter referred to as the “monthly
apportionment.”
Construction Account. The Construction Account shall be used only to pay
as incurred and allowed costs which under financial and reporting
standards as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board,
the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or an Other Comprehensive Basis
of Accounting, as applicable, are capital costs of the System, and of
such future reconstructions, improvements, betterments or extensions of
the System as may be authorized in accordance with law; including but
not limited to payments due for work and materials performed and
delivered under construction contracts, architectural, engineering,
inspection, supervision, fiscal and legal expenses, the cost of lands
and easements, interest accruing on the Revenue Bond during the first
year following the date of its delivery, if and to the extent that the
Revenue Bond Account is not sufficient for payment of such interest,
reimbursement of any advances made from other Issuer funds, and all
other expenses incurred in connection with the construction and financing
of any such undertaking. To the Construction Account shall be credited
as received all proceeds of the Revenue Bond, except amounts appropriated
to the Revenue Bond Account, all other funds appropriated by the City
for the System, and all income received from the investment of the
Construction Account.
Operating Account. On each monthly apportionment there shall first be
set aside and credited to the Operating Account, as a first charge on
the Gross Revenues, such amount as may be required over and above the
balance then held in the Operating Account to pay the reasonable and
necessary operating expenses of the System which are then due and
payable, or are to be paid prior to the next monthly apportionment. The
term “operating expenses” shall mean the current expenses, paid or
accrued, of operation, maintenance and current repair of the System, all
as provided in the Joint Powers Agreement, calculated in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles, and shall include, without
limitation, administrative expenses of the City relating solely to the
System, premiums for insurance on the properties thereof, labor and the
cost of materials and supplies used for current operation and for
maintenance, and charges for the accumulation of appropriate reserves
for current expenses which are not recurrent monthly but may reasonably
be expected to be incurred in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles. Such operating expenses shall not include any
allowance for depreciation or renewals or replacements of capital assets
of the System and shall not include any portion of the salaries or wages
paid to any officer or employee of the City, except such portion as
shall represent reasonable compensation for the performance of duties
necessary to the operation of the System, nor any amount properly payable
from any other account of the Fund. The Net Revenues of the System, as
referred to in this resolution, are hereby defined to include the entire
amount of such Gross Revenues remaining after each such monthly
apportionment, after crediting to the Operating Account the amount
required hereby, including sums required to maintain an operating reserve
equal to one month’s estimated operating expenses.
Revenue Bond Account. Upon each monthly apportionment there shall be set
aside and credited to the Revenue Bond Account, out of the Net Revenues
of the System, an amount equal to one-third of the total sum of the
principal and interest to become due on the Revenue Bond on the next
succeeding Loan Payment Date (as defined in the Revenue Bond). Moneys
from time to time held in the Revenue Bond Account shall be disbursed
only to meet payments of principal and interest on the Revenue Bond as
such payments become due; provided, that on any date when the outstanding
Revenue Bond is due or prepayable by its terms, if the amount then on
hand in the Revenue Bond Account is sufficient, with other moneys
available for the purpose, to pay the Revenue Bond and the interest
accrued thereon in full, it may be used for that purpose. If any payment
of principal or interest becomes due when moneys in the Revenue Bond
Account are temporarily insufficient, such payment shall be advanced out
of any Net Revenues theretofore segregated and then on hand in the
Replacement and Depreciation Account or the Surplus Account. In the
event that sufficient moneys are not available from the aforementioned
sources the City, to the extent it may, at the time legally do so, may,
but shall not be required to, temporarily advance moneys to the Revenue
Bond Account from other revenues of the System or from other funds of
the City on hand and legally available for the purpose, but any such
advance shall be repaid from Net Revenues of the System within 24 months.
Replacement and Depreciation Account. There shall next be set aside and
credited, upon each monthly apportionment, to the Replacement and
Depreciation Account such portion of the Net Revenues, in excess of the
current requirements of the Revenue Bond Account (which portion of the
Net Revenues is referred to herein as Surplus Net Revenues), as the City
Council shall determine to be required for the accumulation of a
reasonable reserve for renewal of worn out, obsolete or damaged
properties and equipment of the System. Moneys in this account shall be
used only for the purposes above stated or, if so directed by the City
Council, to redeem Bonds which are prepayable according to their terms,
to pay principal or interest when due thereon, or to pay the cost of
improvements to the System; provided, that in the event that the City
shall hereafter issue bonds for the purpose of financing the construction
and installation of additional improvements or additions to the System,
but which additional bonds cannot be made payable from the Revenue Bond
Account, Surplus Net Revenues from time to time received may be
segregated and paid into one or more separate and additional accounts
for the payment of such bonds and interest thereon, in advance of payments
required to be made into the Replacement and Depreciation Account.
Surplus Account. Any amount of the Surplus Net Revenues from time to
time remaining after the above required applications thereof shall be
credited to the Surplus Account, and the moneys from time to time in
that account, when not required to restore a current deficiency in the
Revenue Bond Account as provided in Section 2.04 hereof, may be used for
any of the following purposes and not otherwise:
a. to redeem and prepay principal of the Revenue Bond when and as such
principal becomes prepayable according to its terms;
b. if the balances in the Revenue Bond Account and the Replacement and
Depreciation Account are sufficient to meet all payments required or
reasonably anticipated to be made therefrom prior to the end of the
current fiscal year, then;
(i) to pay for repairs or for the construction and installation of
improvements or additions to the System;
(ii) to be held as a reserve for redemption and prepayment of principal
of the Bond which is not then but will later be prepayable according to
its terms; and
(iii) with the written consent of the South Dakota Conservancy District
and the Board, transferred to one or more specified funds of the Issuer.
No moneys shall at any time be transferred from the Surplus Account or
any other account of the Fund to any other fund of the City, nor shall
such moneys at any time be invested in warrants, special improvement
bonds or other obligations payable from other funds, except as provided
in this section.
Pledge of Revenues. The Revenue Bond, together with the interest thereon,
shall not constitute a charge against the City’s general credit or taxing
power, but shall be a limited obligation of the City payable solely out
of the Revenue Bond Account, which payments, revenues and receipts are
hereby and in the Loan Agreement pledged and assigned for the equal and
ratable payments of the Revenue Bond and shall be used for no other
purpose than to pay the principal of and interest on the Revenue Bond,
except as may be otherwise expressly authorized in the Loan Agreement
(including the purpose of securing Additional Bonds issued as permitted
by the terms thereof). The City covenants and agrees to charge rates for
all services from the System or establish special charges or surcharges
which will be sufficient to provide for the payments upon the Revenue
Bond issued hereunder as and when the same become due, and as may be
necessary to provide for the operation and maintenance and repairs of
the System, and depreciation, and the Rate Ordinance shall be revised
from time to time so as to produce these amounts. The City hereby reserves
the right to determine on a periodic basis the appropriate allocation of
operation and maintenance expenses, depreciation, repair and reserves
associated with the facilities financed with the Revenue Bond, provided
that such determination of allocable operation and maintenance expenses
shall in no event abrogate, abridge or otherwise contravene the covenant
of the City set forth in this Section 7 or any other covenant or agreement
in the Loan Agreement.
Additional Bonds. As permitted by SDCL 9-40-8 and SDCL 9-40-9, additional
Bonds payable from revenues and income of the System may be issued, as
permitted in the Loan Agreement and no provision of this Resolution
shall have the effect of restricting the issuance of, or impairing the
lien of, such additional parity bonds with respect to the net revenues
or income from the extensions, additions or improvements. The City shall
have the right to issue additional bonds secured by a lien subordinate
to the lien from the Revenue Bond pursuant to the Loan Agreement.
General Covenants. The City hereby covenants and agrees with the Board
and other owners of the Revenue Bond that it will punctually perform all
duties with reference to the Project, the System and the Revenue Bond
required by the constitution and laws of the State of South Dakota and
by this Resolution.
The City agrees and covenants that it will promptly purchase the
equipment included in the Project.
The City covenants and agrees that pursuant to SDCL 9-40-28 and SDCL 9-
40-29, the lawful holders of the Revenue Bond shall have a statutory
mortgage lien upon the System and the extensions, additions and
improvements thereto acquired pursuant to the Act, until the payment in
full of the principal and interest on the Revenue Bond, and the City
agrees not to sell or otherwise dispose of the System, the Project, or
any substantial part thereof, except as provided in the Loan Agreement
and shall not establish, authorize or grant a franchise for the operation
of any other utility supplying like products or services in competition
therewith, or permit any person, firm or corporation to compete with it
in the collection and treatment of wastewater for municipal, industrial,
and domestic purposes within the City.
The City covenants and agrees with the Board and other owners of the
Revenue Bond that it will maintain the System in good condition and
operate the same in an efficient manner and at a reasonable cost, so
long as any portion of the Revenue Bond remains outstanding; that it
will maintain insurance on the System for the benefit of the holders of
the Revenue Bond in an amount which usually would be carried by private
companies in a similar type of business; that it will prepare, keep and
file records, statements and accounts as provided for in this Resolution
and the Loan Agreement. The Revenue Bond shall refer expressly to this
Resolution and the Act shall state that it is subject to all provisions
and limitations thereof pursuant to SDCL 9-40-19.
The Finance Officer shall cause all moneys pertaining to the Funds and
Accounts to be deposited as received with one or more banks which are
duly qualified public depositories under the provisions of SDCL Ch. 4-
6A, in a deposit account or accounts, which shall be maintained separate
and apart from all other accounts of the City, so long as any of the
Bonds and the interest thereon shall remain unpaid. Any of such moneys
not necessary for immediate use may be deposited with such depository
banks in savings or time deposits. No money shall at any time be withdrawn
from such deposit accounts except for the purposes of the Funds and
Accounts as authorized in this Resolution; except that moneys from time
to time on hand in the Funds and Accounts may at any time, in the
discretion of the City’s governing body, be invested in securities
permitted by the provisions of SDCL 4-5-6; provided, however, that the
Depreciation Fund may be invested in such securities maturing not later
than ten years from the date of the investment. Income received from the
deposit or investment of moneys shall be credited to the Fund or Account
from whose moneys the deposit was made or the investment was purchased,
and handled and accounted for in the same manner as other moneys therein.
In the event of mismanagement of the System, a default in the payment of
the principal or interest of the Revenue Bond, or in any other condition
thereof materially affecting the lawful holder of the Revenue Bond, or
if the revenues of the System are dissipated, wasted or diverted from
their proper application as set forth in the Loan Agreement, Revenue
Bond, or herein, the City hereby consents to the appointment of a receiver
pursuant to SDCL 9-40- 33, and agrees that the receiver will have the
powers set forth therein, and in SDCL 9-40-34 and SDCL 9-40-35 to operate
and administer the System, and charge and collect rates as described
therein.
Severability. If any section, paragraph, clause or provision of this
Resolution, the Loan Agreement, the Revenue Bond, or any other Loan
Document shall be held invalid, the invalidity of such section,
paragraph, clause or provision shall not affect any of the other
provisions of this Resolution or said Loan Agreement, Revenue Bond, or
any other Loan Document.
Authorization of City Officials. The Mayor, Finance Officer, City
Attorney and City officials shall be and they are hereby authorized to
execute and deliver for and on behalf of the City any and all other
certificates, documents or other papers and to perform such other acts
as they may deem necessary or appropriate in order to implement and
carry out the actions authorized herein.
Definitions. All terms used in this Resolution which are not defined
herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Loan Agreement
unless the context clearly otherwise requires.
Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect on the 20th day
following its publication, unless suspended by a referendum.
Adopted at City of Vermillion, South Dakota, this 21st day of July, 2025.

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. 8 members voted in favor of and 0 members voted
in opposition to the Resolution. Mayor Cole declared that the Resolution
was adopted.
F. Final Plat of Munger Tract 4, in the SW 1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section
11, Township 92 North, Range 52 West of the 5th P.M., Clay County, South
Dakota.
Jose Dominguez, City Engineer, reported that the City has been working
with the owners of the property since late 2024 towards annexing the
property being platted. The City’s goal is to facilitate this annexation,
have land ready for development when the owner chooses, and utilize the
land annexed to annex adjacent properties that would like to be annexed.
Jose noted the annexation will be considered by the Council at a future
meeting. Suffice to say, the owner has been made aware, has acknowledged,
and has agreed that the City may elect to serve the annexed area with
City utilities as allowed by South Dakota law or any other agreements
that may be in effect between the City and the utility.
Jose stated following the annexation and utility discussions, the City
Council will consider a request from the owner to place the property
into the City’s Rural Service District. This will prove beneficial to
the owner due to the lower taxes afforded on properties within the
district.
Jose noted to annex the property in question, the first step is to plat
the property. The plat being considered is for 36.58 acres along the
northwest corner of the intersection between SD Highway 50 and SD Highway
19 which consists of farmland. Jose stated although the property will be
annexed, the land will remain in agricultural use until the owner decides
to develop the land. At this point the owner has not expressed any
desire to develop the land.
Jose stated the plat was reviewed by the County’s Planning Commission at
their meeting earlier today. The plat was recommended for approval.
Jose noted the land being platted is within the Joint Jurisdictional
Zoning Area. Final plats within this area are required by State statute
and City ordinance to be presented to the County’s Planning Commission
for their recommendation to the City Council. The City Council may then
either approve or reject the plat. Jose reported the proposed plat meets
all the requirements set within the zoning ordinance for the Joint
Jurisdictional Zoning Area.
237-25
After reading the same once, Council Member Holland moved approval of
the following plat:
WHEREAS IT APPEARS that the owners thereof have caused a plat to be made
of the following described real property: Lots Munger Tract 4, in the SW
1/4 of the SE 1/4 of Section 11, Township 92 North, Range 52 West of the
5th P.M., Clay County, South Dakota for approval.
BE IT RESOLVED that the attached and foregoing plat has been submitted
to and a report and recommendations thereon made by the Vermillion
Planning Commission to the City Council of Vermillion which has approved
the same.
BE IT ALSO RESOLVED that access shall be granted to the lot in accordance
with the City of Vermillion street access and driveway approach policy,
which requires an application permit.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the attached and foregoing plat has been
submitted to the Governing Body of the City of Vermillion which has
examined the same, and it appears that the systems of streets and alleys
set forth therein conforms to the system of streets and alleys of the
existing plat of such city, and that all taxes and special assessments,
if any, upon the tract or subdivision have been fully paid and that such
plat and survey thereof have been executed according to law, and the
same is hereby accordingly approved.
The motion was seconded by Council Member Price. Discussion followed and
the question of the adoption of the Resolution was presented for a vote
of the Governing Body. 8 members voted in favor of and 0 members voted
in opposition to the Resolution. Mayor Cole declared that the Resolution
was adopted.
G. Memorandum of Understanding with AFSCME Local 1052 for Vacation
Buyback and Longevity Pay.
John Prescott, City Manager, reported on a Memorandum of Understanding
with AFSCM Local 1052 for Vacation Buyback and Longevity Pay. John noted
the two items discussed by the Labor and Finance Committee and AFSCME
were longevity pay and a vacation buyback program. A longevity pay
program is an item that has been discussed for several years. A pilot
vacation buyback program was tried in 2022. The language that the Labor
and Finance Committee worked out with AFSCME was:
Vacation Buyback: City will purchase back up to 20 hours one time a
year. Employees will need to complete the designated form and submit it
by September 1 of each year. Payment for vacation buyback will be
completed by the end of September of each year. The vacation buyback
hours are not considered hours worked and eligible to be considered in
the overtime calculation. The vacation buyback hours will be taxed at
the normal rate. In order to participate in the program, an employee
needs to have a minimum of 20 hours of vacation left in their vacation
leave bank after the buyback is completed and have a minimum of 300
hours in their sick leave bank.
Longevity Pay: The City Council may annually consider the allocation of
a sum of funding to be used for longevity pay. The City Manager and
Finance Officer will determine the allocation of any longevity award to
be made to qualifying employees. Eligibility for longevity pay may vary
depending on the amount of funding available and number of employees.
Minimum qualifications for longevity pay include being capped on the pay
scale for at least 3 years and 15 years of consecutive employment with
the City of Vermillion. The length of employment with the City and length
of time at the top step will be considered in determining the amount of
longevity pay for each eligible employee. Longevity Pay will be made
with a December paycheck each year.
238-25
Council Member Cheeseman moved approval of the Memorandum of
Understanding with AFSCME Local 1052 for Vacation Buyback and Longevity
Pay. Council Member Price seconded the motion. Motion carried 8 to 0.
