» Got it. Yes. All right. So, no no public
comment

54
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:36,400
South Dakota's premier winter road race
which was highlighted by our friends at

55
00:04:34,479 --> 00:04:43,040
Southakota Public Broadcasting last
year, year before, two years ago. great

56
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:45,919
little expose on pretty unique thing uh
I had heard about before we came to

57
00:04:44,479 --> 00:04:50,639
South Dakota and I was like why are
there people running in February um now

58
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:56,080
that I've come to know the race a little
bit got a little closer to the action um

59
00:04:54,320 --> 00:05:01,759
it's a phenomenal thing there's people
from and if you I would encourage you to

60
00:04:58,479 --> 00:05:05,600
go back and watch the SDPB
uh expose because there are families

61
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:10,320
that there's one lady that had never run
before it was her first race so she she

62
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:13,039
has come back now 13 years in a row. Um
it's an opportunity for us in the

63
00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:17,600
community to highlight some great
people. It's of course volunteer le. Um

64
00:05:15,919 --> 00:05:23,680
I know the deputy race director pretty
well. Um she's when she's in a good

65
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:28,639
mood. Uh fortunately she has been able
to continue to secure the services of

66
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:32,800
former council member Troy B because he
is a he has a lot of insight in that

67
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:37,840
space and he does a lot of benefit. So,
um I think Tom's been on the committee

68
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:41,759
before. Um we identified that Jerry was
on the committee, the frostbite

69
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:44,960
committee several years ago. Um so, I
mean there's quite a few of us that have

70
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:49,520
been part of that for a while. Before
the frostbite that morning, we'll hold a

71
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:53,440
mayor's mile. That's an opportunity for
myself and others to get in front of the

72
00:05:51,919 --> 00:05:58,000
kids and remind them that getting
outside and being healthy, even though

73
00:05:54,800 --> 00:06:02,400
it's nasty in February, is a good thing.
And so, I usually incentivize the kids

74
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:05,919
to uh kids that have the highest
percentage, whichever elementary school

75
00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:10,880
class has the highest percentage
participation that day, I'll reward them

76
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:13,840
with a pizza party. So, we have health
running

77
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:21,039
» pizza not
it's a good and so not good. Well, we

78
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:27,120
had I think almost 80% of the fourth
graders I believe that was Scott's

79
00:06:23,039 --> 00:06:33,919
class. So, that was well good time. Um,
so be looking for flyers. Please make

80
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:37,840
sure endorse it. The u the folks that
putting on the race decision make a

81
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:43,039
formal request for a pool pass. So I'll
submit that so that in writing we can

82
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:47,840
approve that next meeting. Um but yeah
that is the first Saturday of February.

83
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,720
So just happens to be the exact same
Saturday as conf.

84
00:06:51,840 --> 00:06:55,400
» Yes. So

85
00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,840
yeah. Yeah. Any questions?

86
00:07:03,199 --> 00:07:08,960
Yeah.
Yeah.

87
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:14,160
Yeah. It's busy. It's funny. You would
think some of these weekends are slow

88
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:18,479
enough, but yeah, we've had things in
every weekend in the winter. Same we do

89
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:23,680
in the summer. So,
all right. Um, department head, city

90
00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:28,800
administrator, and engineering reports.
Elaine.

91
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:32,000
» Um, so in the the council package, um,
there's a

92
00:07:29,759 --> 00:07:37,280
of the 2025 year and transfer to the
general fund. Um, and I would like to

93
00:07:34,479 --> 00:07:41,599
make the recommendation to transfer what
was budgeted from the electric, the

94
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:47,759
telephone, and the solid waste um to the
general fund. The electric department

95
00:07:43,759 --> 00:07:52,319
was 391,000, the telephone was 325,000,
and the solid waste 30,000 for a total

96
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:56,360
of 746,000
to the U general fund.

97
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:04,720
And I just need to Have a motion to
approve.

98
00:08:01,919 --> 00:08:09,280
» Move to approve the transfer of funds
from electric telephone solid waste to

99
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:13,039
the general fund.
>> Second

100
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,199
» motion second on the table to authorize
year end transfers to the general fund

101
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:22,560
both from the electric department
telephone and solid waste in a total

102
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:27,120
amount of $746,000.
Any further discussion?

103
00:08:25,759 --> 00:08:34,399
All those in favor say I.
>> I. Anybody opposed? Motion carries.

104
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:39,839
» Um I am recommending for the 2025 year
end transfer of reserve to South Dakota

105
00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:44,159
fit uh the fire department fund which we
have earmarked the 10% and the 2% liquor

106
00:08:42,719 --> 00:08:48,360
um every year to go into the fire
department fund of $40,000.

107
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:18,560
I believe it was in 24, the fire
department purchased a uh 2006 E1 ladder

108
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:22,720
book. And so between the electric
telephone and what the fire department

109
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:29,519
South Dakota Fit, they bought this
truck. So each year instead of the

110
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:36,080
liquor tap going back to the fire fund,
it's going to be divvied up between the

111
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:41,120
payback for the Make sense or Okay. Um
and then also the budgeted $100,000 for

112
00:09:39,519 --> 00:09:46,480
the electric department and this would
be um the deposit number two of three

113
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:52,240
for the new truck that they are looking
to get in 2027.

114
00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:55,680
and then the telephone fund. Um, looking
at their balance, it was not budgeted,

115
00:09:53,760 --> 00:10:02,040
but looking at their year and balance,
I'm making the recommendation of moving

116
00:09:57,680 --> 00:10:02,040
$300,000 to South Dakota.

117
00:10:24,079 --> 00:10:32,360
Motion second to authorize transfer fund
department

118
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,720
any further discussion

119
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:48,480
to fit give us
yearly projections. Do we get a

120
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:51,600
perspectus like you would investment
or is it just

121
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:57,360
» so I just wrote down well I don't know
where I put it whether I believe it's

122
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:01,600
like 3.5%
that have written down somewhere

123
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:06,640
» if they had fun but there past
>> yeah it actually went down

124
00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:09,440
» it's making more than our checking
account so instead of it sitting in the

125
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:15,600
checking account
>> let's move it where it can some money

126
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:19,880
and we can always if it we need it. It's
takes 24 hours to move it from

127
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,160
» anyone

128
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:48,320
as well as cyber
It's a good thing. This is really coming

129
00:11:45,279 --> 00:11:52,480
from a loss control audit we had through
our insurance provider and um they made

130
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:57,519
some recommendations to us and one of
those was that we take advantage of

131
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:03,600
project boundary fence which is a Dakota
State University project for um local

132
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:10,240
entities nonprofits and government
entity. So kind of that we have

133
00:12:08,079 --> 00:12:16,000
recognized
training entities in our in our state.

134
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:21,040
So Austin H and I started looking into
this and whether it made sense to do by

135
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:25,680
Tom made sure that we were in a legal
manner available to do that. Really what

136
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:30,800
they do is they provide a cyber security
assessment to take a look at our vulner

137
00:12:28,959 --> 00:12:35,600
vulnerabilities you know where I'm
translating and see how our existing

138
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:40,800
infrastructure really is taking place.
So Austin on the telecom side they've

139
00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:45,680
done quite a bit us maybe not as much as
them but this is looking at us as an

140
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:50,000
entirety and so um Austin was pretty
excited about it for them but we were as

141
00:12:47,519 --> 00:12:55,120
well for for our operations here at city
hall. So, they will come in, take a look

142
00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:59,360
at our our place, see what our
assessment looks like. Um, I hope that

143
00:12:57,839 --> 00:13:02,480
eventually they maybe can give us a
little presentation on what this product

144
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:07,680
looks like and then they'll give us the
results in the future. I would think

145
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:10,680
with our electric
system

146
00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,959
they're looking to come February second.
they reached out to you said that you

147
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:36,720
wanted to come have a conversation with
us and um I think it's a great thing

148
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:40,399
especially for me being new I think some
of you are fairly new as well but what

149
00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:44,800
they're looking to do is kind of give us
a little bit of update on what the

150
00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:49,440
assessor's office does how they actually
come and the values that they do then

151
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:54,480
what we can do with the equalization
process in March is when we start that

152
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:58,079
time frame so we're going to do this
>> one month

153
00:13:55,519 --> 00:14:01,279
» February
a little

154
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:08,320
understanding education and then in
March we'll have that actual process for

155
00:14:05,199 --> 00:14:13,279
» I was excited that they reached out
it's just helpful

156

» when usually they send someone down for
the actual one entertain request for

157
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:28,079
a recommendation of
reducing the amount overall amount

158
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:36,120
because I remember the bill was to come
So I guess I don't

school comes from county.

160
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:54,720
I think the more tools we have in our
toolkit to handle those requests,

161
00:14:50,160 --> 00:15:00,079
I feel like the property tax, the huge
jumps in personal property tax, that was

162
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:02,880
a few years ago. Obviously, it's still a
significant point of contention. It's

163
00:15:01,519 --> 00:15:08,800
going to be something discussed in our
South Dakota legislature in the next few

164
00:15:05,279 --> 00:15:12,399
weeks, but um fortunately, I feel like
we've gotten over the hump, but there

165
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:17,760
are quite a few eyes that are looking at
it looking at ways to potentially reduce

166
00:15:14,959 --> 00:15:20,160
it. So
that's all I have.

167
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:26,199
» Awesome. Thanks, Jason.
>> Thank you.

168

00:15:27,199 --> 00:15:34,959
So this uh as you're aware, we discussed
this last council meeting came to us

170
00:15:31,839 --> 00:15:42,240
through Jim Weber at Weber Realy, an
individual that is providing an all cash

171
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:47,760
offer. Um, no inspection property as is,
no appraisal or survey. Um, they're

172
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:53,360
asking us to split the insurance and
closing fees 50/50

173
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:57,759
and that we would then close the space
in between the two buildings of both

174
00:15:55,279 --> 00:16:03,120
city hall and the council chambers. Um,
I did reach out to Dave White and um, he

175
00:16:01,279 --> 00:16:08,560
thinks we can put a lock on that door
that's existing and talking to Jim. His

176
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:13,120
client was comfortable with doing that.
That would be sufficient. So, that would

177
00:16:10,399 --> 00:16:19,120
be a step that we have. If you accept
this offer, um, it is $90,000.

178
00:16:17,759 --> 00:16:22,399
» That's all we would have to do is put a
lock on the door.

180
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,680
okay.

the old
or the council chambers that we then put

182
00:16:29,759 --> 00:16:35,120
a door like a hotel has. There's two of
them.

183
00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,120
» Sure.
>> Okay.

184
00:16:40,639 --> 00:16:49,040
Be aware.
>> So they they did agree with the bank.

They know that
restrictions. So closing date.

186
00:16:54,560 --> 00:17:04,240
Um we have servers in that vault that we
need to move over to city hall here. Um

187
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:07,520
and some some different things that we
want through a little bit, but we need

188
00:17:05,439 --> 00:17:12,319
to make sure that we have the records
and pieces that we need out of there

189
00:17:09,280 --> 00:17:15,640
before. So, February 7, give us the time
to do that.

00:22:33,360 --> 00:22:37,320
the rates that we talked about.

I think it's going to be resolution
20262.

245
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:03,360
» Oh,
>> for the contingency fund transfers.

246
00:23:00,799 --> 00:23:07,679
» Got it. Y resolution 22602 contingency
fund transfers.

247
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:13,600
» So in 2025 we said $30,000 in the
council fund for the unknown. Um turns

248
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:20,640
out it's the council that needs it.
>> Um due to um so I'll just go line by

249
00:23:18,080 --> 00:23:27,240
line. the elected official salaries. We
ended up um having six special council

250
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,240
meetings.

251
00:23:32,559 --> 00:23:41,440
We would need to increase that budget by
$2,50.

252
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:45,520
And so since we went over on the elected
official salaries and the also pushes

253
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:51,120
the FICA over, so we would need to
increase that by $152.

254
00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:55,039
Um the line item of miscellaneous
insurance when we transferred to the

255
00:23:53,039 --> 00:24:01,039
South Dakota Public Assurance Alliance,
there was not this category in the

256
00:23:57,760 --> 00:24:07,760
council fund and so I added it. Um so we
would need to add $1,000 to that budget.

257
00:24:05,039 --> 00:24:14,960
The other professional services is the
banner associates tap application.

258
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:19,760
Um so we would need to add $4,500
that pushed that line item over by

259
00:24:17,679 --> 00:24:26,000
because of the tab application. And then
the other current expenses is back in

260
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:31,840
September if everyone remembers PMC
offered to provide an extended reporting

261
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:36,559
endorsement. So we would need to add
$3,400

262
00:24:33,360 --> 00:24:40,880
and and membership fees. This is 100%
me. I completely missed to add the South

263
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:47,760
Dakota Municipal League membership news
to it. So, we would need to add $2,275.

264
00:24:45,039 --> 00:24:55,559
Um, and then the community subsidies,
the fireworks display came in over what

265
00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:55,559
was budgeted by 667.

266
00:24:59,679 --> 00:25:02,679
Oxygen.

267
00:25:38,159 --> 00:25:43,799
All in favor say
>> anybody opposed

268
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:50,039
six additional meetings like there were
12

269
00:26:07,679 --> 00:26:16,320
would be the first reading. Um, so to
explain the 75,62

270
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:21,600
shortage, um,
I have worked my way through all the

271
00:26:18,559 --> 00:26:27,039
year end numbers. Um,
the administrator, the full-time salary

272
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:33,200
is just due to Jerry's final payout in
October and bringing Jason on. So, I am

273
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:36,960
proposing an additional $25,800 to that
line item.

274
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:42,240
Um also underneath city administrator
the group insurance um with Jerry's

275
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:48,880
retirement he receives health insurance
and then Jason's on top of that um

276
00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:55,440
requesting $5,350
for that a line item furniture and

277
00:26:51,919 --> 00:27:01,200
office equipment. Um we purchased a new
PC and monitor and additional office

278
00:26:57,279 --> 00:27:06,559
furniture for Jason's office for $6,50.
And other current expense um we were not

279
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:11,279
planning to advertise for a new city
administrator. So, that put us over. So,

280
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:16,799
I'm proposing $600 to be added
underneath general um government

281
00:27:13,120 --> 00:27:22,400
buildings. The first part of 2025, we
paid for the carpet for this building.

282
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:27,919
Um so, I'm proposing to add $27,000 to
that one. And then the electric because

283
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:33,679
we are paying the electricity for well
the old city hall and this building. So,

284
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:39,919
add $500 to that.
the library. Um, they received a

285
00:27:36,159 --> 00:27:46,240
thousand dollar grant to host um, 2025
summer reading training. Jane and I kind

286
00:27:43,360 --> 00:27:52,480
of went back and forth with can her
budget absorb it or not. At the end, it

287
00:27:48,799 --> 00:27:57,440
cannot. So, I'm proposing to move the
revenue received for the grant to host

288
00:27:54,720 --> 00:28:04,399
the summer reading to be moved into her
fund to make um, the library positive.

289
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:11,279
In the end, the police received a
highway safety grant of um $8,763

290
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:17,279
and I am proposing to move that to the
full-time salaries to bring their fund

291
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:20,760
to the positive.
There any questions?

292
00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:33,080
Then I think
the first

293
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:33,080
meeting

294
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:43,000
» there any questions?
All right. Discussion community

295
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:43,000
information on the event calendar.

296
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:54,880
There was one point in time I know Kathy
and you and I were looking at it

297
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:57,880
and it was truncating that
calendar.

298
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:05,600
And so there have been a couple folks
that have asked about school events and

299
00:29:03,679 --> 00:29:08,880
others, library events, because they
have quite a few activities. There's a

300
00:29:07,039 --> 00:29:13,279
pass through those you can't see what
I'm looking at. Um,

301
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:19,919
so actually looks Oh, I like this view a
lot better. It's got a calendar view now

302
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:23,360
versus the it was just stacked. So,
so looks like Miss Cely has taken up a

303
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:29,200
lot of space on the calendar with her
sale class stay active and independent.

304
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:34,000
Um, Feeding South Dakota, those events
are on there. Planning and zoning, city

305
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:38,919
council,
anything that anybody sees that we're

306
00:29:35,919 --> 00:29:38,919
missing?

307
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:47,080
Uh, we should ask the VFW to make the
proposal that they have their

308
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:47,080
fundraiser.

309
00:30:02,159 --> 00:30:11,760
Yeah, I think it's um we did a policy
together. It's nonprofit community

310
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:17,600
benefit.
So for the church and there's a few

311
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:21,080
other churches
that would be something

312
00:30:21,679 --> 00:30:28,279
often times like
whatever

313
00:30:29,919 --> 00:30:34,799
» Rachel did make a bunch of flyers and
laminated them and put them all over

314
00:30:33,919 --> 00:30:38,080
bulletin board.
>> Yeah.

315
00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:40,399
» Hopefully that QR code will be like oh
that

316
00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:45,559
» we should have somebody monitor the
traffic and It's picked up a little bit.

317
00:30:42,559 --> 00:30:45,559
So,

318
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:49,799
all right. Any questions about that?

319
00:30:51,679 --> 00:31:02,080
Agenda America 250. So, um for those of
you that haven't seen in our nation's

320
00:30:57,919 --> 00:31:08,720
capital, there's a 555 foot obelisk in
the middle of the uh National Mall uh

321
00:31:05,279 --> 00:31:13,200
National Monument. It's got 3D
each side of it. Now you can see really

322
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:18,159
really patriotic that's actually part of
America's 250th celebration. So uh

323
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:23,760
they're building out a way to celebrate
250 years of existence. Um I would like

324
00:31:21,679 --> 00:31:27,440
to propose that we build a 250th
committee. I've had several members of

325
00:31:25,760 --> 00:31:31,840
the community step forward that are
interested in helping promote that. I

326
00:31:30,559 --> 00:31:35,440
think there are things that we can do on
the 4th of July

327
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:41,440
2026
to help help effectively celebrate our

328
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:44,320
250th anniversary.
Everybody agrees. I don't know that this

329
00:31:42,960 --> 00:31:47,200
requires an official action or anything
like that. There are obviously

330
00:31:45,679 --> 00:31:51,519
expenditures we want to make. We'll come
back to table.

331
00:31:49,039 --> 00:31:54,799
Um, I'm going to call for volunteers,
additional volunteers to step forward in

332
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:59,200
the next few weeks, try to get some
ideas on what's feasible and what's not

333
00:31:56,480 --> 00:32:03,679
feasible for
July 4th.

334
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:08,000
Uh, there is a grant out there that
we're going to probably that dollar to

335
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:15,200
the American Revolution grant that
specifically has set money aside for

336
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:15,200
America's 250th birthday.

337
00:32:16,159 --> 00:32:23,919
questions, recommendations.
Moose to step forward because he wants

338
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:28,480
to redo the mural. Uh he in a senior
class or junior class, they did the

339
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:33,120
mural many many moons ago and he wants
to redo that. So, we're going to look at

340
00:32:31,279 --> 00:32:39,840
opportunities to It was a patriotic
mural with Statue of Liberty, the uh

341
00:32:36,799 --> 00:32:42,840
independence bell, declar Declaration of
Independence.

342
00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:52,240
ego. Yep. Yep. And so we got to find the
right place

343
00:32:50,240 --> 00:32:55,919
to do that. But as we get closer,
hopefully we'll have some people step

344
00:32:54,159 --> 00:33:00,240
forward with some we'll find a way that
people can potentially donate. They want

345
00:32:57,679 --> 00:33:03,880
to help us celebrate. Find the right way
to do that. So

346
00:33:38,080 --> 00:33:45,360
Second top payment bill. All those in
favor say I.

347
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:52,519
» Anybody opposed?
Any further business for the council?

348
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:52,519
Hearing none. biggest church.
