[0:00] the time that thing.
>> Well, we're trying to different
[0:03] » quits. Uh

[0:09] anyway, the main uh the main gist of the
meeting tonight is to uh get Eric to
[0:15] sign that plat cuz we knew you'd be here
as the road uh and then uh we have to
[0:24] undo
>> just to get it out of the way. We have
[0:27] to undo the resolution that deanexics
the land because it had the wrong
[0:30] description. And then we're doing
another route resolution
[0:36] to go ahead and deanex it. That's the

[2:32] talking about tonight, so we'll skip
that. Uh, motion to approve the last
[2:38] meeting minutes. So, move.
[2:43] » Roll call vote.

There are none.
[3:12] Open comments. Unless one of these
chairs want to talk. There isn't any.
[3:18] Uh public hearings aren't any old
business. This would be the second read
[3:25] reading of ordinance
369.
[3:32] And I'm just going to page to it. So I
read off the ordinance uh is the way
[3:39] Tobias likes me to do it. So if I find
ordinance 370
[3:45] 369. Okay.
Second reading, an ordinance of the city
[3:51] of Krook, South Dakota, amending the
2023 revived Krook zoning regulations by
[3:57] amending chapter 4-R1,
[4:02] single family residential district,
section 4.03,
[4:08] lot and yard regulations.
[4:15] Second
>> and a roll call on that.
[4:17] » Shooty.
>> Hi.
[4:19] » Hstead.
>> Hi.
[4:20] » Hi.
>> Okay. New business. It's the first
[4:25] reading of ordinance 370.
And ordinance 370
[4:33] is an ordinance of the city of Kirk,
South Dakota, amending the municipal
[4:37] code of the city of Krooks by amending
title 7 public nuisances chapter 7.05
[4:46] trees, shrubs, noxus weeds, and other
vegetation.
[4:50] Section 7.0503 0503
duties of property owners.
[4:59] » I know it's a first reading, but I just
ask you guys to maybe read that over
[5:04] carefully before the next meeting. Um
the the over street height for trees and
[5:11] such is supposed to be 16 ft.
And I I mean I know you were part of
[5:16] walking around me. How many letters got
sent out this year? I think uh I think
[5:21] » several.
>> Yeah,
[5:23] » but
>> yeah. No, go ahead.
[5:25] » Okay. Um
>> yeah, when we were walking around 16
[5:29] feet did seem really high and so we were
starting to talk maybe 14, but
[5:34] apparently the payloader, according to
Chad or Fred or whoever, somebody said
[5:39] that they needed 16 ft of clearance for
the payload.
[5:42] » Well, I've been in it. I run it.
>> 14 ft.
[5:45] » 14 ft is all we need. Uh it actually
>> the payloader is probably 10 and 1/2 ft
[5:53] tall. Yeah.
>> And I get it. If you raise the bucket
[5:55] all that I understand,
>> but if you look at the garbage trucks,
[5:59] the fire trucks, the school buses,
everything else,
[6:04] I I did a little research just ahead of
this. It it seems like that I don't know
[6:09] if that came from the state at some
point with with an ordinance for it, but
[6:13] it seems like that's just about what
everybody says.
[6:15] » Yeah. which is fine. But when you start
looking, especially in my neighborhood,
[6:21] when they went and planted all those
goddamn trees on the lot lines
[6:26] 10 ft into the yard, I mean, I my block
already has trees that have lower than
[6:32] half of the side because they've had to
cut them all off to meet that
[6:37] requirement. I think 16 ft is
>> and we can uh change it or talk about it
[6:44] for next meeting, but just for feedback,
I don't disagree with Mike. Uh I always
[6:51] thought it was 12 ft. 12's a little bit.
It's okay. Like you said, uh I've been
[6:58] in the loader and 12 ft is plenty. It
used to be in Palmyra before we did all
[7:04] that. There was parts of Palmyra I
couldn't even plow snow in. I had to go
[7:08] around for half a block and but I think
16 feet just from talking is plenty
[7:17] too much. So we'll just
>> before we have second reading next month
[7:22] just think of see what you guys think
cuz
[7:25] » yeah and I'm not sure where it came from
but I agree that's
[7:30] that's a lot. Okay.
Resolution
[7:37] uh 202539
[7:42] is
a resolution of city council of Krook,
[7:46] South Dakota to repeal resolution
202533.
[7:52] And that's
uh the resolution we deanexic, but it
[7:56] was the wrong description.
And uh so uh
[8:02] » move to approve.
>> Second.
[8:05] » Roll call vote.
>> Uh Shy
[8:08] » I
>> Harststead.
[8:09] » Fire. Sorry.
>> Fire.
[8:12] » It is fire.
>> Yeah.
[8:13] » Okay.
>> Okay. All right.
[8:17] » Uh, resolution
2025-40
[8:21] is a resolution of the city council of
Krook, South Dakota, excluding real
[8:26] property from the municipal boundaries
upon the receipt of a petition to
[8:32] exclude property.
>> Move to approve.
[8:37] » Second.
>> Roll call.
[8:40] » Oh, shooty.
>> Hi.
[8:42] » Hstead.
>> Hi.
[8:43] Fire
>> I
[8:45] » sorry. [laughter]
[8:48] » Okay. Uh
a motion. We need a motion to authorize
[8:54] procurement of a letter of credit if
required by Northern Natural. This is
[9:00] not new, but Northern Natural is pushing
on it harder as uh they're doing
[9:07] upgrades and they want to make sure
everybody they deal with has uh good
[9:13] credit, which we've had for years, but
Tobias wants to be able to go ahead if
[9:21] we need to get it a letter from the bank
for Northern Natural
[9:26] » second.
Roll call.
[9:29] » Uh, Shudy
>> I.
[9:31] » Harststead.
>> I,
[9:32] » Byer.
>> I.
[9:34] » Okay.
>> Okay. And now E is a a motion to
[9:39] authorize city administrator to extend
public works supervisor position to
[9:45] candidate and authorize compensation
negotiation.
[9:50] So, uh,
we did go ahead and advertise it. It was
[9:55] advertised in Municipal League magazine
and the local paper. We had nobody even
[10:01] Jeremy who
uh anyway uh so uh we need a motion to
[10:09] authorize
Tobias
[10:13] uh
to bring Todd in and uh talk with him.
[10:17] » Move to approve.
>> Second.
[10:21] » Roll call vote.
>> Shy. Uh Harststead.
[10:25] » Hi,
>> Byer.
[10:26] » Hi.
>> And the next is uh the ice gate rink at
[10:32] uh
why can't uh Sunset Park.
[10:38] » So, uh we put an ice skating rink up
last year. Last year, we spent by the
[10:43] time it was done, we spent almost $2,000
to put that together. that did not cost
[10:50] uh that did not include the cost of the
uh liner uh that was donated.
[10:57] Um working with the guys this year there
we were trying to find something to get
[11:02] down there for the warming house that
just didn't pan out.
[11:06] Um they want to they want to put it
together tomorrow and fill it. We're
[11:10] going to have freezing weather and get
it going. So, uh, we did get the liner
[11:17] ordered on Friday. It really worked out
well. The city paid for it. Um, it's
[11:23] it's almost 500 bucks just for the
liner, but it's 60 something by 120 or
[11:30] » I think it was $52 or something,
>> something like that. Um, so it worked
[11:36] out really well. was over $200 have
shipped and Ryan Faber happened to be
[11:41] taking the kid up that way for hockey on
Friday. So, he was able to stop and pick
[11:46] it up for us, save us on shipping. Uh I
met with those guys uh like a week and a
[11:52] half ago to see if there was anything
else needed for this year and they
[11:56] assured me that there wasn't. And so
over the last week, uh, the guys got all
[12:03] the stuff from last year, the boards and
everything else down to the park for
[12:07] them. And after going through it, um,
Tim Coop sent me a list of things that
[12:13] they need last night. It's about $800
worth of stuff. So, um, I want you guys
[12:21] to be aware of that and be know if
you're okay with that.
[12:25] » Uh, do you know what what it is that he
I don't have my phone texted to me. It's
[12:31] they they got to replace some of the
boards. Uh there was boards and uh they
[12:36] need more uh stakes put in the ground to
hold the boards and uh they need clamps
[12:44] to hold the liner in place
mounted to them.
[12:49] And I mean the boards were the expensive
part and making 500 bucks worth 2 by
[12:54] 12s.
[12:58] Um
it sounds like next year we have
[13:02] somebody that's going to donate a
warming house for us. Uh Buffalo Ridge
[13:06] concrete. They have a couple of office
mobile office building. They're on
[13:12] skids. Um they're like 10 by 20 total.
And uh they've said that once they're
[13:19] they're doing a bunch of construction
offers using them. When they're done
[13:22] with them probably
uh they'll donate them. The the idea
[13:27] being that when we get those in place,
then all of the stuff that we take it
[13:32] down when, you know, when we're done
with the rank can go in them, store
[13:36] inside them so not to take up space in
the shop, that kind of thing. But it's
[13:42] growing. So, um, like I said, I was
hopeful that we were going to get get
[13:46] off without too big of a bill for ice
rink this year, but again, it's
[13:53] they he actually Tim actually started
stuff together today for it. So, um it
[13:59] would actually
the actual approval by us would come at
[14:04] the next meeting through claims.
But I just like I said, I you know, we
[14:09] kind of I don't want to say we we half
passed it last year, but it just kind of
[14:14] happened last year and and Butch and I
kind of made some agreements with them
[14:18] and got it done. Um, so I just wanted to
make sure you guys were aware of it and
[14:23] if there's any problem with it, now's
the time to say. So,
[14:26] » was it just put together halfway or was
it how we tore it apart last year?
[14:30] » Well, some of the boards, I mean, some
of them are true Menard's boards. They I
[14:35] mean, what they they actually did it
right, but they took it apart last year.
[14:39] They put them all together and then
screwed them to try and bind them
[14:42] together. And even that, some of them
came out and they're so twisted, it's
[14:46] disgusting. Um, some of it was I think
some of the all the anchors that they
[14:53] put in the ground, I think some of them
got lost or misplaced or whatever. Uh, I
[14:58] did ask Chad to go look again and they
didn't find anymore. So,
[15:04] you know, kind of a combination of
>> grand scheme of doesn't seem that
[15:09] expensive.
>> I mean, in the grand scheme of things,
[15:12] it's not, but I just don't like
surprises.
[15:15] » Yeah. Well, I think next year when we
talk budget, we need to remind ourselves
[15:22] about the ice skating ring. I think uh
Mike and talking to those guys done a
[15:26] real good job. I said, "Let's look for
people to donate and we got that warming
[15:31] house for next year, which is a big
plus." The other thing I like is we got
[15:38] volunteers that are doing something.
They're not just out in the audience
[15:42] saying we need this and have Chad do
this. Chad just went over and dropped
[15:47] the supplies off with the forks and the
loader and they're it's actually pretty
[15:53] much up. So, you know, for the it got it
was busy last year and for
[16:02] $1,500
uh this year, last year was two
[16:07] whatever.
There's a lot of people that use it. It
[16:11] It's a heck of a good uh deal. I think
the biggest thing is let's remind
[16:18] ourselves to put that in the park budget
for next year.
[16:24] » So, do we need you want to vote on it to
okay it or you want
[16:28] » We can't we can't vote to it wasn't on
the agenda.
[16:32] » Okay. Like I said, it'll it'll
>> it'll be on the next meeting on planes,
[16:36] » but yeah, they're uh they're out there
this afternoon. I mean, it's
[16:41] » Yeah, they're
>> Yeah.
[16:42] » And that's uh important with anything we
do. Uh just like the veterans, you got
[16:50] people that are willing to go
do something and and uh then I think we
[16:57] got to give them a pat on the back and
say thank you for 1,500 bucks and all we
[17:03] do is uh store it and set it over there.
So
[17:12] that's it.
>> I just wanted to add one more.
[17:14] » Okay.
So, usually a volunteer acknowledgement
[17:17] or something.
>> Yeah.
[17:19] » Uh I if you guys would all keep the fire
department in your prayers for a little
[17:24] bit. We had a we had a pretty crappy
deal Halloween night. Randy Roskin's
[17:30] house caught on fire. He passed away.
>> Yeah.
[17:33] » Yeah.
>> So, we uh with you know, it's one of
[17:37] those deals. It was a absolute perfect
storm.
[17:40] » Uh you know, the fire department sits
out at the gas station all night handing
[17:44] out stuff. So, we were two and a half
blocks away from the house when when we
[17:49] got paged to it. We had two deputies
sitting there with us and they got there
[17:55] first and actually helped get him out.
Um, so that was on Friday night. He
[18:00] passed away
Tuesday, but they lifted him up. But the
[18:05] cities,
>> he had a lot of other health problems.
[18:10] Yeah.
>> Weren't helping the situation at all,
[18:13] but Nevertheless, uh, you know, we it's
it's almost funny anymore to call it the
[18:18] fire department because we don't get to
we don't get to put out any fires, but
[18:24] » when we do,
>> I would ask uh Mike, I'm sure Tobias or
[18:30] Jeff would know, but what's the
procedure
[18:36] now for a burnt out house?
Uh, I suppose there's time for the
[18:42] insurance companies and all that, but I
see they got windows boarded up.
[18:47] » Well, there was really only one window
that that came out. Okay. Front window.
[18:53] » The inside of the house is a total loss.
>> Okay.
[18:56] » So, I would be amazed if they don't tear
it down.
[18:59] » Yeah. Well, I don't
>> it doesn't look like there's much damage
[19:01] from outside, but inside um if if you
look at that house, the garage side is
[19:07] where the kitchen was, and that's where
the fire started. The far side of the
[19:11] house, there was a window AC unit over
there. It got so hot in there that the
[19:16] face melted off of the AC unit 30, 40t
away. I mean, it was it was bad. The
[19:24] like I said, the inside is is toast. So,
I know the insurance company They've
[19:29] been there already. Uh I spoke with them
two weeks ago already. Um they actually
[19:37] found one of our flashlights inside and
got it back to me. So um yeah, I I mean
[19:42] as far as what becomes of it, I mean you
remember how long it took from that
[19:48] explosion?
>> On that explosion, it took takes a long
[19:51] time to go through channels. And I'm not
nothing bad about Kelly, but I don't
[19:57] think she
probably can deal
[20:02] with all that. I hope she can, but uh
you know, it's Anyway, Randy was a good
[20:08] guy.
>> Yeah.
[20:10] » Yep.
So, uh,
[20:16] I I'll just bring up, uh, I don't think
there's going to be a pray that people
[20:23] are asking. I've talked to CO and they
don't have enough people to volunteer to
[20:29] do the prey to lights and I said I'd see
what I can do. uh all the horses and the
[20:38] wagons and not that they wouldn't come,
but in talking to them on a personal
[20:45] basis, they liked it when we went
through town through the neighborhoods.
[20:50] They said it's an awful lot of work for
us to come to a town and just do a short
[20:58] parade. So, this is just food for
thought. And so,
[21:04] uh,
you know, the, uh, whoever it is from
[21:08] COT sent me an email and had all these
rules, uh, about guards and
[21:14] intersections and
all this stuff that we've never done
[21:18] before, but and they even indicated
there was a lot of close calls in the
[21:24] parades we had when we went through the
neighborhoods. I I said I'm not aware
[21:28] that there were any, but I just want you
to know that uh they're going to have
[21:34] Santa day, but there's probably not
going to be afraid of lights.
[21:39] And uh it's too bad, but uh something we
can gear up for next year. I think with
[21:47] uh probably Janna moving, she was the
kind of the
[21:53] one that made the group get things done.
And uh so uh I feel bad, but next year
[22:08] I'm going to get more involved and get
uh I just
[22:13] I thought was great that we went through
the neighborhood. People had bonfires in
[22:17] their driveway and we're sitting around
watching. I just never heard that we had
[22:22] close calls.
>> It was nice when it was on the main
[22:25] street for the trail. It was short and
quick with it being cold out.
[22:29] » [clears throat]
>> for everyone during the winter. It's
[22:32] neat going through the town, but it is
for the kids that are on the trailers
[22:36] and stuff. It's cold for them.
>> Yeah.
[22:38] » Especially in December. So, that's
what's nice on the trail. Everyone comes
[22:40] to Main Street, half hour, you're done.
>> A lot of work for a half hour, but it's
[22:45] quick for the little
>> Yeah, I I see that side of it, too. And
[22:50] uh so anyway,
so if you got some ideas or some help
[22:57] anyway, uh I hate to see it not happen,
but
[23:01] uh
[23:06] anything
got anything else to say? Then I'm going
[23:10] to turn it back to Mike.
>> Move to a journ.
[23:13] » Second.
>> Roll call vote.
[23:15] » Shooty
>> I.
[23:16] » Had
>> I. fire.
[23:18] » I
