00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:19,880
Good evening, everyone. Welcome to your city council meeting. Today's Tuesday, September 8th. I will ask the clerk to please call the roll.

2
00:00:20,260 --> 00:00:22,520
Council member, Sigurdie, here. Spellerberg.

3
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:23,500
Thomas and.

4
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:25,040
They see. Here.

5
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:25,820
McCurris.

6
00:00:26,460 --> 00:00:26,940
Equate.

7
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:28,400
Oppenheimer.

8
00:00:29,140 --> 00:00:29,460
Thank you.

9
00:00:29,940 --> 00:00:30,220
Here.

10
00:00:31,420 --> 00:00:36,740
All right. We will start our meeting with the indication tonight. We have Pastor Kirk Flah from a biting

11
00:00:36,740 --> 00:00:39,220
to save your free Lutheran church that will give our

12
00:00:39,220 --> 00:00:41,980
invocation so to ask you to stand and we will follow it by the

13
00:00:41,980 --> 00:00:42,840
pledge of allegiance.

14
00:00:45,430 --> 00:00:48,450
Mrs. Mayor, we appreciate the opportunity to come down in city

15
00:00:48,450 --> 00:00:48,830
council.

16
00:00:48,910 --> 00:00:52,810
Thank you for the privilege of being able to pray for you.

17
00:00:53,030 --> 00:00:56,370
Our congregation takes that very seriously and you

18
00:00:56,370 --> 00:00:59,630
need to come to the privilege to come tonight to share.

19
00:01:00,150 --> 00:01:03,690
We're going to read one verse, a first Timothy chapter 2 says,

20
00:01:03,930 --> 00:01:06,850
first of all, then I urge that in treaties and prayers

21
00:01:06,850 --> 00:01:13,170
and petitions and things giving, be made on behalf of all men, for kings and all who are

22
00:01:13,170 --> 00:01:18,690
in authority, so that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all Godliness and dignity.

23
00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:24,190
And I would take from that scripture the imperative that we have to pray for you.

24
00:01:25,110 --> 00:01:31,250
And we're again grateful to be able to do so tonight. Lord, as we gather tonight,

25
00:01:31,250 --> 00:01:35,330
understand tonight, a big meeting in terms of budget and

26
00:01:35,330 --> 00:01:39,810
section, I do pray that you would guide this process.

27
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:45,070
And I want to give thanks for the men and women that you have put in place here,

28
00:01:45,510 --> 00:01:49,110
men and women of integrity and of honor and of dignity.

29
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:51,290
And I pray that they would serve as such.

30
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:55,690
I pray, too, for an added measure of wisdom for them tonight and

31
00:01:55,690 --> 00:01:58,270
every night, but especially tonight, Lord, as we look at a budget.

32
00:01:58,270 --> 00:02:04,410
We would pray, Lord, too, for our community, we live in an awesome, awesome community.

33
00:02:04,870 --> 00:02:09,690
And that's to do partly Lord with, of course, this group here and their leadership.

34
00:02:09,990 --> 00:02:11,150
We give thanks for them.

35
00:02:11,470 --> 00:02:15,230
I ask Heavenly Father for your continued grace and favor, your hand a mercy and protection

36
00:02:15,230 --> 00:02:18,730
upon all those who are in elected positions.

37
00:02:19,150 --> 00:02:24,030
I thank you for their service on to us and we would pray now your best over them, over

38
00:02:24,030 --> 00:02:28,910
their families over their loved ones and over this city would ask God your favor now on this

39
00:02:28,910 --> 00:02:33,170
meeting, patience and guidance and grace in Jesus' name, the amen.

40
00:02:36,290 --> 00:02:42,550
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for

41
00:02:42,550 --> 00:02:49,890
which stands one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.

42
00:02:52,020 --> 00:02:52,180
Thank you.

43
00:03:05,540 --> 00:03:06,120
All right, Councillors.

44
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,980
Are there any changes to the consent agenda?

45
00:03:09,940 --> 00:03:11,900
I do need to request Missile.

46
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:12,980
Sounds good?

47
00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,020
Councillor Pinkanan is going to recuse herself.

48
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:20,200
Hearing none, is there no others?

49
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:22,340
Is there a motion to approve?

50
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:23,520
So, move, of course.

51
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,640
Second, Oppenheimer.

52
00:03:25,980 --> 00:03:28,900
There's a motion and approval of roll call vote.

53
00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:29,540
Any discussion?

54
00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:31,360
Every night?

55
00:03:31,580 --> 00:03:31,880
I do it.

56
00:03:32,100 --> 00:03:33,140
I swear every night.

57
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:34,000
No discussion.

58
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:35,320
Roll call vote.

59
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:36,580
Council member Cigdi?

60
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Yes.

61
00:03:37,220 --> 00:03:37,700
Spellaburg?

62
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,180
Yes.

63
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:38,860
Yes.

64
00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:39,820
Yes.

65
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:40,100
Yes.

66
00:03:40,100 --> 00:03:40,300
Okay.

67
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:42,580
Yes.

68
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:43,480
Oppenheimer.

69
00:03:44,300 --> 00:03:45,880
That item passes 7 to 0.

70
00:03:46,260 --> 00:03:49,620
If you could please grab Councillor Pinkinan.

71
00:03:50,100 --> 00:03:52,540
Sir motion to approve the regular agenda.

72
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:53,800
Move approval.

73
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:54,760
Seconds.

74
00:03:55,060 --> 00:03:55,380
Seconds.

75
00:03:55,380 --> 00:03:56,000
Seconds.

76
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:56,760
Seconds.

77
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:56,980
Seconds.

78
00:03:56,980 --> 00:03:57,040
Seconds.

79
00:03:57,840 --> 00:03:58,480
Seconds.

80
00:03:58,560 --> 00:03:58,660
Seconds.

81
00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:00,220
Seconds.

82
00:04:00,660 --> 00:04:01,300
Seconds.

83
00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:02,620
for real-covote.

84
00:04:02,620 --> 00:04:03,740
Council member Sigity?

85
00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:05,160
Spellerberg?

86
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:05,600
Yes.

87
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:06,040
Thomason?

88
00:04:06,460 --> 00:04:06,680
Yes.

89
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,040
Basey?

90
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:07,380
Yes.

91
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:07,960
McHurris?

92
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:08,420
Yes.

93
00:04:08,500 --> 00:04:08,840
McHurris?

94
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:10,480
Oppenheimer?

95
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:11,620
Hanging in.

96
00:04:11,700 --> 00:04:12,020
Yes.

97
00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:15,640
That item passes eight to zero before we continue with our regular agenda.

98
00:04:15,740 --> 00:04:20,500
I just want to review regular public input for agenda items for the regular agenda

99
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:20,820
items.

100
00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:25,220
Comments are limited to three minutes unless the item is being presented for final adoption

101
00:04:25,220 --> 00:04:28,400
in which case public input is limited to five minutes.

102
00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:34,580
For all other regular agenda, comments are limited to the agenda item under consideration only.

103
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:45,360
During the general public input portion of the meeting comments will be no more than three minutes per person and comments are limited to topics that do not if you're on the agenda earlier.

104
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520
As we'll already have comments taken at that time.

105
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,720
We'll go ahead and move to the next item.

106
00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:57,500
Item 16 is the second reading and ordinance of the City of Sioux Falls South Dakota approving

107
00:04:57,500 --> 00:04:58,800
an easement agreement

108
00:05:01,970 --> 00:05:04,990
from public works.

109
00:05:05,230 --> 00:05:06,010
It's

110
00:05:09,180 --> 00:05:16,040
evening Mayor Council Andy Bird Public Works tonight coming forward for an easement

111
00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:19,060
to the we are proposing to grant to Lumen.

112
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:26,980
They have a utility currently located in the Minnesota and two to nine right of way that will

113
00:05:26,980 --> 00:05:31,720
within the project limits of that project when it comes forward here soon.

114
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:39,960
The easement area is in a drainage area adjacent to the Yankton Trail Park, and we would

115
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:43,700
ask for your support to approve the granting of this easement to Lumen.

116
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:45,700
Thank you.

117
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,040
Is there any problem from the public that wants to speak on this item?

118
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:50,680
Seeing none.

119
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:52,440
Councillor, any questions or motions?

120
00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:55,670
I'd move to approve.

121
00:05:56,250 --> 00:05:56,490
Sigurdie.

122
00:05:56,710 --> 00:05:57,470
Seconds, Bellbert.

123
00:05:57,470 --> 00:06:02,550
It's been a motion by Siggity 2nd by Spellerberg any discussion. Seeing none, Roe Cuffle.

124
00:06:03,550 --> 00:06:06,010
Consumers Siggity? Yes. Spellerberg? Yes.

125
00:06:06,310 --> 00:06:09,170
Thomason? Yes. Bacy? Yes. Macuris? Yes.

126
00:06:09,450 --> 00:06:10,390
Equay? Yes.

127
00:06:10,630 --> 00:06:11,630
Oppenheimer? Yes.

128
00:06:11,950 --> 00:06:12,470
Hankinin.

129
00:06:12,550 --> 00:06:12,790
Yes.

130
00:06:13,410 --> 00:06:16,070
That item passes 8 to 0, item number 17.

131
00:06:17,030 --> 00:06:20,650
17 is a second reading and ordinance of the city of Sioux Falls, South Dakota,

132
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:25,510
amending the code of ordinances of the city by amending chapter 37 taxation by adding

133
00:06:25,510 --> 00:06:28,050
a new subject, your sponsors, the mayor.

134
00:06:30,380 --> 00:06:34,320
All right, I think Sean's going to present on this soon for us.

135
00:06:38,950 --> 00:06:39,590
Good evening, Council.

136
00:06:40,150 --> 00:06:41,450
Sean, Project Director of Finance.

137
00:06:41,970 --> 00:06:45,950
So the item before you hear tonight is a second reading

138
00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:47,910
of an ordinance that would make permanent

139
00:06:47,910 --> 00:06:51,470
in codified ordinance, a prior program we've had for about

140
00:06:51,470 --> 00:06:54,690
five or six years now, which is targeted property tax relief

141
00:06:54,690 --> 00:06:58,450
for low-income elderly and disabled who are on fixed incomes.

142
00:06:58,450 --> 00:07:02,190
They apply through the state program for property taxes.

143
00:07:02,190 --> 00:07:04,410
That's been freeze on their home.

144
00:07:04,450 --> 00:07:08,270
If they apply with the county by April and are approved for that program,

145
00:07:08,410 --> 00:07:13,830
they are automatically reimbursed up to $500 of their municipal property taxes.

146
00:07:14,290 --> 00:07:16,730
And as I showed last week, we've grown this program significantly.

147
00:07:16,730 --> 00:07:19,930
I think it was 135% over the last about five years.

148
00:07:20,330 --> 00:07:24,790
We expect the program to grow further this year because the legislature has gone through

149
00:07:24,790 --> 00:07:29,210
series of iterations of increasing income requirements, increasing home value allowances.

150
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:37,880
All those things to make it even more affordable and able for more individuals to qualify. So we expect more to qualify this year.

151
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:43,940
We have increased the budget for this item from 350,000 in 2026 to 500,000 in fiscal year 27.

152
00:07:45,020 --> 00:07:47,940
So happy to answer any questions you might have, and I'll stand by.

153
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:52,220
Thank you, Director. Anyone from the public wish to speak on this item?

154
00:07:53,220 --> 00:07:55,960
Councillor's any questions for staff or a motion?

155
00:07:56,900 --> 00:07:58,300
Move approval, Speller.

156
00:07:58,700 --> 00:07:59,560
Second, Bacy.

157
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,500
There's been a motion by Spellerberg in a second by Bacy.

158
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:03,200
Any discussion?

159
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:04,040
Madam.

160
00:08:04,460 --> 00:08:05,200
Go ahead Councillor SIGITI.

161
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:05,900
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

162
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,780
I just want to thank the administration for curing this on.

163
00:08:09,300 --> 00:08:12,220
I know previous counsels for the past few years have found this very important.

164
00:08:12,620 --> 00:08:14,320
So I just think it's great that you're making this permanent.

165
00:08:14,660 --> 00:08:15,460
Thank you.

166
00:08:17,180 --> 00:08:18,020
Any other discussion?

167
00:08:19,220 --> 00:08:19,600
Seeing none.

168
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:20,280
Roe Cullbow.

169
00:08:21,020 --> 00:08:21,860
Councillor Mayberg, SIGITI.

170
00:08:21,980 --> 00:08:22,940
Yes, Spellerberg.

171
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:23,420

Bacy.

174
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,180
Yes.

175
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:27,700
Yes.

176
00:08:27,700 --> 00:08:27,780
Okay.

177
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:28,820
Yes.

178
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:29,500
Oppenheimer.

179
00:08:30,060 --> 00:08:30,400
Thank you.

180
00:08:30,660 --> 00:08:31,060
Yes.

181
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,060
That item passes 8 to 0.

182
00:08:33,220 --> 00:08:33,840
Item 18.

183
00:08:35,140 --> 00:08:40,200
Item 18 is a resolution of proving the terms and conditions of the public safety down payment

184
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:44,660
assistance programs, sponsors, council members, fellow Bergen Sigurdie.

185
00:08:46,020 --> 00:08:46,200
Yeah.

186
00:08:46,300 --> 00:08:47,460
I'm excited to bring this forward.

187
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,300
And continue what councilors say all had brought together.

188
00:08:51,220 --> 00:08:55,820
So this is a program where we're able to help people in our public safety that work for the city.

189
00:08:55,820 --> 00:08:58,640
help with the down payment on their house.

190
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:01,480
So there's going to be a couple of changes to the program.

191
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,880
So the funding ran out on the original set.

192
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,480
Right now we're looking to put $150,000

193
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,280
away into this program with 10 grants of $15,000 a piece.

194
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:13,020
The old program was 20,000.

195
00:09:13,100 --> 00:09:17,120
This would be 15, which would cover the minimum down payment

196
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,680
required for up to $8,385,000 house.

197
00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:24,580
So the other change to this program is that it will be for city

198
00:09:24,580 --> 00:09:27,760
employees only in fire, PD, and then Metro.

199
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,600
And then this is going to be open for the entire city versus targeted areas.

200
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,820
So these are some of the changes that we're making, but it's an awesome program and I'm proud

201
00:09:36,820 --> 00:09:38,540
to be part of it.

202
00:09:38,860 --> 00:09:39,440
Thank you, Councillor.

203
00:09:40,940 --> 00:09:43,340
Anyone from the public wish to speak on this item?

204
00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:48,400
Seeing then Councillors, any questions or motion?

205
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:52,510
Second, Sigurdie.

206
00:09:53,020 --> 00:09:56,100
There is a motion in a second. Any discussion?

207
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:57,400
Councillor Neillman.

208
00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:00,380
I would like to make a motion to amend the main motion.

209
00:10:00,900 --> 00:10:05,940
Deleting section 6 in its entirety and replacing it with the new section 6 that reads,

210
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,800
the House Indivision is responsible for administering this programme,

211
00:10:10,180 --> 00:10:16,420
a may implement certain additional and reasonable terms and conditions that are consistent with this resolution.

212
00:10:16,420 --> 00:10:24,820
The housing division may administer administratively make reasonable exceptions to these terms

213
00:10:24,820 --> 00:10:30,960
set forth in the resolution based on individual employee circumstances or as appropriate

214
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:36,080
to meet the policy objective as a recruitment and retention program for public safety

215
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:36,880
employees.

216
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:38,940
Do you need to repeat it?

217
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:40,720
Is there a second?

218
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,740
Okay, there's been a motion in a second for the amendment.

219
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:50,180
The clerk does have a copy of that, is,

220
00:10:51,140 --> 00:10:52,560
where's the amendment?

221
00:10:53,380 --> 00:10:54,980
Any discussion on the amendment?

222
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,960
The reason for the amendment is to,

223
00:11:00,340 --> 00:11:04,880
some of the language in the original resolution is pretty absolute,

224
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:10,200
saying that if an employee departed for any reason at all,

225
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:12,280
they would have to pay the money back.

226
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,040
And then requiring it to be paid back within 60 days.

227
00:11:16,860 --> 00:11:19,300
My feeling is that, whether it is absolute,

228
00:11:19,460 --> 00:11:21,840
is that we need potential for exceptions.

229
00:11:23,540 --> 00:11:26,420
If a team member is with the city for four years

230
00:11:26,420 --> 00:11:30,040
and has to leave for a reason being in some kind of an accident

231
00:11:30,040 --> 00:11:31,840
that they can no longer work or transferring

232
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:39,360
to a different division outside of where they are, that's the way it was written means that

233
00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:46,360
they would immediately have to pay back within 60 days, 15, up to $15,000, and additionally,

234
00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,120
if an employee is severed from employment, let's say they get fired. You're telling someone,

235
00:11:53,300 --> 00:11:58,400
hey, we're letting you go. By the way, you always 15 grand within two months. This allows

236
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:03,720
exceptions to that so we can find a way especially if that money is sunk into a home as it's

237
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:08,560
designed to be to be able to do something like potentially put a lean on that home so the person

238
00:12:08,560 --> 00:12:13,100
doesn't have to pay it back immediately they owe it back when they sell the house or if there is

239
00:12:13,100 --> 00:12:17,820
an accent, accent, accentuating circumstance for someone leaving this allows there to be exceptions

240
00:12:17,820 --> 00:12:23,860
to that so it just softens the language in my opinion to allow for different exceptions to this

241
00:12:23,860 --> 00:12:25,260
That's the reason I'm bringing this amendment.

242
00:12:26,020 --> 00:12:28,360
I am fully in support of the spirit of this,

243
00:12:28,460 --> 00:12:30,220
and I really appreciate that it's something

244
00:12:30,220 --> 00:12:34,000
that is designed for retention and designed

245
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
to really help out city employees and key people in the city.

246
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:41,480
But this would allow for some of those extreme circumstances

247
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:42,640
to soften the language.

248
00:12:43,380 --> 00:12:45,560
Any other discussion on the amendment?

249
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:52,100
Seeing none, roll call vote on the amendment.

250
00:12:52,100 --> 00:12:54,340
Council Member Sigurdie?

251
00:12:55,740 --> 00:12:56,260
Spellaburg?

252
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:56,620
Yes.

253
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:58,080
Thomason?

254
00:12:58,180 --> 00:12:58,520
Yes.

255
00:12:59,100 --> 00:12:59,760
Basey?

256
00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:00,120
Yes.

257
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:01,440
Macuris?

258
00:13:01,660 --> 00:13:01,980
Yes.

259
00:13:02,900 --> 00:13:03,520
Equay?

260
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:04,380
Yes.

261
00:13:04,940 --> 00:13:05,460
Oppenheimer?

262
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:07,240
Pankinin?

263
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:14,300
The amendment passed 8 to 0, so we're back to the motion as amended.

264
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,100
Any further discussion on this?

265
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:19,200
Councillor Pankinin?

266
00:13:19,500 --> 00:13:19,800
Yes.

267
00:13:19,940 --> 00:13:20,780
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

268
00:13:20,780 --> 00:13:22,640
And I do have a clarification.

269
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:29,780
I'm curious if this is solely for public safety employees or if it's for all members of the city.

270
00:13:33,020 --> 00:13:33,340
Go ahead.

271
00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:34,640
It is for public safety.

272
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:38,500
So fire, PD, or Metro 911 Metro communications.

273
00:13:39,020 --> 00:13:39,760
Thank you for clarifying.

274
00:13:42,150 --> 00:13:42,970
Councillor Quay.

275
00:13:44,970 --> 00:13:46,670
Just a little bit of the question for clarity.

276
00:13:48,110 --> 00:13:49,550
What does the program mean?

277
00:13:49,730 --> 00:13:52,190
Are they required to live within city limits?

278
00:13:52,190 --> 00:13:53,210
Within city limits.

279
00:13:54,190 --> 00:13:54,750
Thank you.

280
00:13:56,050 --> 00:13:58,970
Any other questions or discussion?

281
00:13:59,770 --> 00:13:59,790
All right.

282
00:13:59,870 --> 00:14:01,910
We'll take a roll call vote as amended.

283
00:14:02,490 --> 00:14:02,570
Art.

284
00:14:02,870 --> 00:14:03,110
Yeah.

285
00:14:04,070 --> 00:14:05,230
Got it.

286
00:14:05,530 --> 00:14:06,450
Council member Sigurdie.

287
00:14:06,990 --> 00:14:07,470
Spellaburg.

288
00:14:07,490 --> 00:14:07,770
Yes.

289
00:14:07,990 --> 00:14:08,430
Thomason.

290
00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:09,050
Yes.

291
00:14:10,030 --> 00:14:10,630
McCurris.

292
00:14:11,250 --> 00:14:11,490
Yes.

293
00:14:11,850 --> 00:14:12,450
Equay.

294
00:14:12,590 --> 00:14:12,910
Yes.

295
00:14:13,130 --> 00:14:13,610
Oppenheimer.

296
00:14:14,170 --> 00:14:14,450
Thank you.

297
00:14:14,730 --> 00:14:15,110
Yes.

298
00:14:15,110 --> 00:14:18,970
that item passes each there as amended item number nineteen

299
00:14:27,220 --> 00:14:39,600
nineteen is a resolution to express the cities intent to establish restrictions on the appropriation of funds to install artificial or synthetic turf at the Sioux Falls stadium sponsor is the mayor

300
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:56,420
Good evening and see me a lot tonight, I guess, Sean Purchah director of finance so the item before you is a resolution that we put together and are bringing forward to provide some additional milestones that would be required

301
00:14:56,420 --> 00:14:59,340
in order to move forward with the installation of the term.

302
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:02,800
We have a seven hundred and ninety four million dollar budget. We have a seven hundred and ninety four million dollar budget.

303
00:15:04,980 --> 00:15:09,680
We are working our way into approving the budget, which will be the next item on the agenda.

304
00:15:10,620 --> 00:15:15,940
I guess the two issues that really have come out of this budget is the aquarium at the zoo and

305
00:15:15,940 --> 00:15:23,040
field turf at the baseball stadium. So I have affectionately called this budget, the surf and turf budget for the city of Sioux Falls.

306
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:27,260
But it's been interesting as we've gone through the process.

307
00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,180
We have a $794 million budget.

308
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,800
Installation of the turf is about 950,000.

309
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:36,700
And while that certainly is not insignificant.

310
00:15:37,100 --> 00:15:39,200
And I don't want to not say that as significant.

311
00:15:40,060 --> 00:15:44,560
I do think a little bit today about the fact that it represents about 0.1% of our budget.

312
00:15:44,780 --> 00:15:47,880
And we agree probably on 99.9% of that budget.

313
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,040
Public safety, infrastructure,

314
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:52,860
investing in neighborhood parks.

315
00:15:53,220 --> 00:15:56,200
So when you think about all the things and the discussions that we've had over the last

316
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:02,180
basically five weeks, just keeping in mind that this is a small fraction of the overall

317
00:16:02,180 --> 00:16:06,660
very complex budget for which we agree on almost all majority terms.

318
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:12,340
But I do want to speak to the turf item because it has been a pretty significant topic

319
00:16:12,340 --> 00:16:12,940
of discussion.

320
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:16,960
And I kind of want to walk through, at least for the public awareness, obviously we've had

321
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:18,640
a lot of questions during public hearings.

322
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:33,320
But also, we've had a lot of one-on-one conversations here over the last couple of weeks, and I think it benefits the public as well to kind of hear some of the good concerns that were raised, the questions that we're being asked, and talk about the why I guess behind bringing this project forward.

323
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:37,280
The first piece of that is really talking about the philosophy of how we manage our assets.

324
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:46,860
So, you know, oftentimes I've seen the case where an asset, an important asset of this city, and this is an important asset of this city, are neglected over time.

325
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,700
because either the resources aren't there or the energy are not there to invest in it.

326
00:16:51,820 --> 00:16:54,180
Now, I'll give you a great example, I just toured in the events center.

327
00:16:54,620 --> 00:16:57,700
Very successful events centers, it's like a premier center in another community.

328
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:00,180
It's not that much older than ours, probably six years.

329
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:04,580
And while it's a very successful facility from a programming perspective in that respect,

330
00:17:05,260 --> 00:17:08,860
they had not invested in it over time, mostly due to the lack of resources.

331
00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:13,860
They didn't have an entertainment tax mechanism like we do here in the city of Sioux Falls to continue to reinvest.

332
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:21,240
And so, what has happened now is 18 years into it, that facility needs a major facelift.

333
00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,340
None of the ribbon boards have been replaced, none of the scoreboard has been replaced.

334
00:17:26,740 --> 00:17:28,740
The seats are worn and torn and tired.

335
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:30,720
And so what are they going to do now?

336
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:34,800
They're going to go out and try to bond for $130 million to put into that facility, which,

337
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:38,220
by the way, is more than what we paid for the events center in the first place.

338
00:17:38,780 --> 00:17:43,200
So as we try to manage these assets over time, we take in the proactive approach of making

339
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,280
incremental investments so that we don't let them

340
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,420
to grade to a point where we're having to make a major

341
00:17:47,420 --> 00:17:48,440
rehab or overhaul.

342
00:17:48,940 --> 00:17:50,940
When it comes to the stadium, there was a period of time

343
00:17:50,940 --> 00:17:53,660
that we were not making major investments in the stadium

344
00:17:53,660 --> 00:17:54,960
other than safety improvements.

345
00:17:55,500 --> 00:17:57,860
And that was in large part just in question

346
00:17:57,860 --> 00:18:00,380
of the future of what that stadium not only looks like,

347
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:03,440
but also really the future of the primary tenant

348
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,920
to the Sioux Falls Canaries with a prior owner

349
00:18:05,920 --> 00:18:08,440
that was not necessarily making huge strides

350
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:11,100
in terms of investing into that team.

351
00:18:11,100 --> 00:18:15,460
That has changed significantly here over the last five to six years with the new ownership

352
00:18:15,460 --> 00:18:20,300
group that has come in and shown their ability and capacity and willingness and energy

353
00:18:20,300 --> 00:18:22,240
to be investing in that team.

354
00:18:22,580 --> 00:18:26,640
And by doing so, I have really taken the first step of facilitating a stronger partnership

355
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,120
with that with the city overall.

356
00:18:30,600 --> 00:18:32,460
The plan, what is the plan?

357
00:18:32,900 --> 00:18:35,000
So Councillor Cigdi brought this up several times.

358
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:36,360
What is the plan for this site?

359
00:18:36,360 --> 00:18:41,720
And in the very simplest terms, the plan is essentially, we don't see a venue for exiting

360
00:18:41,720 --> 00:18:46,440
that facility in the next 10 years, which is the useful life of that turf, right?

361
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:52,540
Even if we would consider building a new stadium somewhere in the community, it doesn't necessarily

362
00:18:52,540 --> 00:18:54,660
have to be downtown, maybe it's at another location.

363
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:56,520
What's the viability of that?

364
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,420
I know we did some initial work on the possibility of building a new stadium.

365
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:04,960
I even went and visited another stadium to see what they were doing and how they did it and

366
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:09,760
that city was able to put it together. But what we found is really minimal public support,

367
00:19:09,820 --> 00:19:14,580
at least initially, for construction of a new stadium, which would probably exceed $100 million,

368
00:19:14,980 --> 00:19:19,780
especially with all the other priorities that we have. So given that fact, and knowing that

369
00:19:19,780 --> 00:19:26,000
we probably aren't building one anytime soon, but let's say we did. We are two to three years into master

370
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,220
planning at this point. Then you're a year to two years into design, creating the financial

371
00:19:31,220 --> 00:19:37,120
package that you would fund it with, you bond potentially, then you build it, which takes

372
00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:42,660
several years and you occupy it. That is not feasibly or probable in the next 10 years.

373
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:48,340
So, by all accounts, we will be living in this stadium that we currently have for at least the

374
00:19:48,340 --> 00:19:52,820
next 10 years, especially as we consider all the moving puzzle pieces that go along with it,

375
00:19:52,940 --> 00:19:57,080
whether it's the Sanford District or Riverline, a new Convention Center possibility,

376
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:03,300
all of those have to be working in alignment with one another in order for us to execute on that well.

377
00:20:04,060 --> 00:20:12,140
The other piece I would say is we've studied the facility itself a couple years ago I said let's just figure out what the bones are like is it structurally sound

378
00:20:12,140 --> 00:20:15,220
And the result of that study was yes, it is structurally sound.

379
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:25,640
The issue with the stadium is that it misses and lacks some of the customer amenities and cosmetic features that you would have expectations for in the stadium in today's day and age

380
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:31,420
And so, you know, with the partnership of the canaries who did take the first step and installed

381
00:20:31,420 --> 00:20:36,320
artificial turf in the infield, they did pay for a brand new scoreboard to be installed.

382
00:20:36,660 --> 00:20:41,500
All of that, without really a long-term commitment of a lease from the city based on a million

383
00:20:41,500 --> 00:20:46,460
plus at least investment into a stadium they did not own, but they did it as an investment in

384
00:20:46,460 --> 00:20:47,060
our community.

385
00:20:48,480 --> 00:20:52,220
When we studied that facility again, we started making some more incremental improvements

386
00:20:52,220 --> 00:20:55,680
to that project, understanding that our partnership was growing with the canaries.

387
00:20:55,860 --> 00:20:59,300
That included replacing seats, I don't know if you remember, I think they were the old green

388
00:20:59,300 --> 00:21:04,280
seats of the blue seats I can't remember which blue and, you know, they had cracks in them.

389
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:05,900
They were not good to sit on.

390
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:10,200
So those have all been finally replaced, we replaced all the lighting, making some incremental

391
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:10,940
enhancements.

392
00:21:11,060 --> 00:21:14,100
So this turf is really meant to be that incremental enhancement.

393
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:18,620
Councillor McCorris, you've talking a lot about the events that are campus plan and where

394
00:21:18,620 --> 00:21:23,740
our plan and I fully agree with you the time has come at this point. We've been delayed and

395
00:21:23,740 --> 00:21:28,540
we've been talking about events in our master plan for eight years and I did get delayed

396
00:21:28,540 --> 00:21:33,600
some with COVID and then further delayed because of Riverline becoming a potential issue

397
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:38,780
a new convention center being discussed then Sanford District. All these things have happened

398
00:21:38,780 --> 00:21:43,640
but the exciting part of it is they are starting to move forward right and these things are going

399
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:48,600
to have to align themselves and because of the nexus between the hospitality that we have

400
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:51,980
the events center campus, they're going to have to be done in alignment with one another.

401
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:57,020
So we wholly welcome the opportunity knowing that many of these are moving forward, probably

402
00:21:57,020 --> 00:22:02,740
next summer, to be also in alignment with an events center campus master plan and getting

403
00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:04,080
that moving forward as well.

404
00:22:04,460 --> 00:22:08,460
And I think the other key thing to keep in mind is it is a campus plan for the whole campus.

405
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:11,840
And we need it not just because we have a baseball stadium where we're trying to decide what

406
00:22:11,840 --> 00:22:17,000
to do with, but we have an arena as well that we need to decide what to do with, which is

407
00:22:18,460 --> 00:22:29,340
And it's plumbing is shot, it's electrical is shot, it's really on life support at this point, and we're trying to keep it, but it's not a maximum use of that space, that building was built.

408
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:39,020
A bill to be a fixed seat on a stadium auditorium. And in no longer serves that purpose well, because of its replacement with premier center.

409
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:45,340
So now what it's basically used for is flat floors, overflow space for large conventions or trade shows.

410
00:22:45,700 --> 00:22:54,740
But it's very poor at that, because it does not utilize most of that space. And the cost to renovate it would far exceed what it would be to just add some additional space on there.

411
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:58,180
So we really have to look at holistically everything with that,

412
00:22:58,180 --> 00:23:00,160
as well as what is the future life of the event center,

413
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,280
and what do we think the run out of that will be

414
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:03,760
and what's the next stage in that chapter.

415
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:06,360
So as I said, we would wholly welcome

416
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:10,220
moving forward with that event center master plan.

417
00:23:10,500 --> 00:23:13,480
Counselor Basie, we've talked about event diversification

418
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,780
and being able to guarantee revenue from additional events,

419
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:18,960
and how do we guarantee that's going to happen?

420
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:22,360
And I can't give you a guarantee that it's going to happen, right,

421
00:23:22,360 --> 00:23:25,060
because there are too many things that have there out there.

422
00:23:25,180 --> 00:23:26,600
And typically, when you're scheduling events,

423
00:23:26,780 --> 00:23:29,180
you're a year or two years out from scheduling those events.

424
00:23:29,540 --> 00:23:31,220
So what does the turf do because it's opportunity?

425
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,920
We know we're more expensive because we have turf

426
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,420
that is natural grass there that makes it more difficult

427
00:23:36,420 --> 00:23:37,300
for hosting events.

428
00:23:37,620 --> 00:23:39,800
It shuts down in our capacity to really work

429
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,780
the shoulder seasons of the spring and the fall,

430
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,820
particularly in the spring because of the fact

431
00:23:44,820 --> 00:23:46,600
that you don't know when spring is going to come

432
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:48,660
and then the field turf from the natural turf

433
00:23:48,660 --> 00:23:51,260
is more difficult and takes more wear and tear.

434
00:23:51,260 --> 00:24:02,640
But what I do know in partnership with our good partners with the canaries is that that stadium has been programed more in the last two years than I can remember it being programed over the last previous decade.

435
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:16,260
And they've done because they have the incentive to want to make that work and to see more community use for that facility, whether it's hosted festivals and dance parties a couple of festivals three in fact.

436
00:24:16,260 --> 00:24:22,180
Music festivals over that time period and there's capacity to potentially do more and

437
00:24:22,180 --> 00:24:26,320
While I say, you know, we don't exactly know what those might be. We have commitments for those

438
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:34,020
We do know that we've made progress on that here over the last several years and I think in whole heart based on what the canyress have done to try to program that facility

439
00:24:35,580 --> 00:24:46,240
Counselor Oakway and Oppenheimer and Thomas and we talked about community use opportunities and I do think there are a lot of

440
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:51,160
as well. But the challenge is the field turf has to be protected when it's natural grass

441
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:56,400
for being in a playable condition, which does not allow for BS flexibles. It can be for

442
00:24:56,400 --> 00:25:01,380
hosting events or for hosting community groups. I know that the canaries welcome that opportunity

443
00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:06,160
to really engage with the community in a way physically at the stadium and what they do financially

444
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:11,280
through their foundation. And so really trying to make that opportunity available. And I know we

445
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:15,640
haven't had the opportunity to really vision or dream out what those look like. But what I would

446
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:20,920
say to use this, yes, we should do an event center master plan, but that's not really going

447
00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,400
to speak to how we might use that CD and that's a fairly in other ways. We can generate

448
00:25:25,400 --> 00:25:30,180
a lot of that ourselves working with our partners at the Canaries, and we have another milestone

449
00:25:30,180 --> 00:25:35,460
based on these restrictions that's put in this resolution that you have another say before

450
00:25:35,460 --> 00:25:39,600
we move forward with actually. So if it's appropriated in the budget tonight, that doesn't

451
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:43,540
mean that we can move forward with it. We're going to have to bring a longer term list with

452
00:25:43,540 --> 00:25:50,060
to you, that should include some discussion about the community use of that facility and what we can

453
00:25:50,060 --> 00:25:57,240
set aside to do that. And then lastly, to Councillor Svellerberg, Councillor Pankon and a discussion

454
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:02,020
of what is our return on our investment, right? So what do we expect the return will be? Well,

455
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,440
we know the direct return is about one to one over a 10-year period. Between us and the Canary

456
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:12,060
is we're spending about $100,000 a year for maintenance taking care of that turf that can be watering

457
00:26:12,060 --> 00:26:15,320
field management, sand, mowing, all those sorts of things.

458
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:19,380
A half-time FTE that's devoted to it, just to maintain that natural

459
00:26:19,380 --> 00:26:22,840
grass in the outfield, which would not necessarily be necessary

460
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:24,480
under a turf condition.

461
00:26:24,760 --> 00:26:26,120
So we know it provides more flexibility.

462
00:26:26,740 --> 00:26:29,660
But we know it's about a one-to-one return over that 10-year period,

463
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,340
just on those cost savings.

464
00:26:31,340 --> 00:26:33,900
We also have an irrigation system that's probably going to need to be

465
00:26:33,900 --> 00:26:37,580
replaced if we continue to use it as a natural grass field,

466
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,360
because it's at the end of its useful life.

467
00:26:39,900 --> 00:26:44,960
How else do we protect ourselves by requiring, as part of this ordinance, a lease extension,

468
00:26:45,460 --> 00:26:50,020
so that most more closely aligns with the turf and its useful life?

469
00:26:50,220 --> 00:26:54,060
It's something I know the canaries are welcoming, that discussion, because they'd like to

470
00:26:54,060 --> 00:26:58,680
see a longer term commitment to what they've made for an investment in our community as well.

471
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:04,380
And then lastly, I would just say, that doesn't even cover the indirect economic impact that

472
00:27:04,380 --> 00:27:07,840
you get from hosting more events at that facility that we should factor into.

473
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:12,040
It's hard to quantify, but should be taken into discussions as well.

474
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:15,880
I appreciate the good questions and conversations we've had.

475
00:27:16,500 --> 00:27:17,480
I think they've been good.

476
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:23,160
As I said, it's been the object I think of most discussion when it comes to this budget,

477
00:27:23,180 --> 00:27:24,780
but it's been good discussion overall.

478
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:29,160
And just appreciate the opportunity to have discussed it here over the last several months.

479
00:27:29,660 --> 00:27:32,540
With that, they have alluded to Brian Jambroses here with the Canaries,

480
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,800
and he and I, and others, would be happy to answer any remaining questions you have.

481
00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:42,120
Thanks. Thank you, Director. Is there anybody else here from the public wishing to speak on this item?

482
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,620
Seeing none counselors. Oh, come on forward, sir.

483
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,940
Sir, if you could say your name for the record.

484
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:53,880
Sorry. My name is Joshua Erickson.

485
00:27:54,380 --> 00:27:55,580
I had just a quick question.

486
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:57,920
Mind you, this is my first time hearing about this issue.

487
00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,300
I'm here for something completely different.

488
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,040
I just wanted to point a clarification.

489
00:28:01,340 --> 00:28:02,680
So I can understand as a citizen.

490
00:28:03,260 --> 00:28:06,180
You mentioned a one to one return on investment.

491
00:28:07,120 --> 00:28:09,320
To clarify, and this is for you, sir.

492
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Does that mean that the money that Sioux Falls is currently putting in over the course of 10 years?

493
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:19,080
We're putting in I believe you said it was close to it. Was it 800? Was it 7.94?

494
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:28,340
9.50. Sorry about that. So 9.50 total. Will we see 9.50 back or will we see 9.50 plus interest growth over time?

495
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:32,860
That was something those confusing me just listen. Thank you. Thank you.

496
00:28:32,860 --> 00:28:35,280
Is there any other public input on this item?

497
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:41,440
Okay, City Councilors, any questions for staff or Brian?

498
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:42,680
Yes, Councilor Peakin-in.

499
00:28:42,900 --> 00:28:43,820
Thank you, thank you, Madam Mayor.

500
00:28:44,060 --> 00:28:47,900
I had just one, I'm hoping I'm summarizing this in a proper way.

501
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:52,060
And in my understanding that we might go into a new lease

502
00:28:52,060 --> 00:28:56,460
with the Canaries on the stadium and then the Canaries

503
00:28:56,460 --> 00:29:00,140
might have the opportunity to program out the facility

504
00:29:00,140 --> 00:29:01,300
and take in that rent.

505
00:29:01,300 --> 00:29:03,620
So the canaries will be paying the city rent,

506
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,320
and then the canaries will be bringing in revenue

507
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,280
from more events that they might be able to host on the turf.

508
00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:11,100
Yeah, so good question.

509
00:29:11,180 --> 00:29:14,460
Thank you for that Councillor Panko, and so yes.

510
00:29:15,020 --> 00:29:17,080
So we would be looking to renegotiate a lease

511
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:19,120
with that we currently have with the canaries

512
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:20,880
looking for an extension of that.

513
00:29:20,980 --> 00:29:23,580
We can reopen some of the financial terms on that,

514
00:29:23,700 --> 00:29:26,300
especially given some of those cost savings are achieved.

515
00:29:26,660 --> 00:29:28,080
It would all allow them a lot more opportunities

516
00:29:28,700 --> 00:29:30,980
for activities that could be revenue generating

517
00:29:30,980 --> 00:29:36,200
for them as well. So that would be part of that discussion. We would hope to be able to bring that

518
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:41,040
forward before the end of this year, but just see how things go in timing-wise and resources.

519
00:29:41,980 --> 00:29:46,300
But that would be the next milestone that you would have on this even if it is included in the

520
00:29:46,300 --> 00:29:50,040
budget tonight. Thank you. Any other questions?

521
00:29:53,020 --> 00:29:54,400
Councillor Beesie. Thank you, Madam Mayor.

522
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,960
Director, some of us were up here last year.

523
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,220
Conversations about the stadium, and we decrease that dollar amount quite a bit last year.

524
00:30:07,780 --> 00:30:12,800
So can you tell me what's gone on or what conversations, what work has been done between

525
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:18,200
that time last year and now that changes this conversation for this investment?

526
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:25,140
Well, we had a much more significant rehab projects scheduled over the five-year capital program

527
00:30:25,140 --> 00:30:29,120
last year as part of this stadium. I can't recall quite how much but I think it was in the

528
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,780
neighborhood of $12 million and it was clear that we just hadn't had a lot of conversation

529
00:30:33,780 --> 00:30:37,380
about what that looks like and what that vision is and we had some of the same conversations

530
00:30:37,380 --> 00:30:42,060
of we don't have a plan for the facility and I think that was fair it was it was too early

531
00:30:42,060 --> 00:30:47,420
to begin those conversations with this it's a much smaller investment than what we were

532
00:30:47,420 --> 00:30:53,440
looking for that included you know a new locker room for the arms it included a lot of

533
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:59,320
have a new office ticket building improvements that aren't contemplated here.

534
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,880
This is just a singular investment focused on this one because we believe that we have

535
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:08,840
better return on an investment on this, and it really truly opens up the more opportunities

536
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,600
for programming and maximizing the use of that stadium.

537
00:31:14,490 --> 00:31:19,370
Councillor McLaren, Director of your reference to study that was done on the stadium.

538
00:31:20,130 --> 00:31:21,530
Can you just kind of recap for us?

539
00:31:21,530 --> 00:31:27,050
reference there is a variety of things they identified as customer amenities that they

540
00:31:27,050 --> 00:31:31,430
recommended over the top two to four customer amenities that they recommended be done

541
00:31:31,430 --> 00:31:33,110
on the stadium to make it more usable.

542
00:31:34,130 --> 00:31:38,990
Just some seating alignment one of the biggest projects but it would probably come at the end

543
00:31:38,990 --> 00:31:47,270
would be improvement building a new like club room sort of speak where you have a large gathering

544
00:31:47,270 --> 00:31:52,210
space with food and so forth. That would take up some of the areas that is underutilized

545
00:31:52,210 --> 00:31:55,730
in terms of the seating and maybe not the best sight lines but that tends to be where you

546
00:31:55,730 --> 00:31:59,990
start putting those rooms because they provide a higher end of humanity that people are seeking

547
00:31:59,990 --> 00:32:05,190
even when the sight lines aren't necessarily the best. It would have included updates to

548
00:32:06,770 --> 00:32:10,870
the suite, the suite level to improve and enhance those which would be key to the future.

549
00:32:11,310 --> 00:32:16,710
It included a new building entrance into the facility where people were coming in, it improved

550
00:32:18,110 --> 00:32:22,910
the umpire dressing rooms as well as locker rooms for the visiting team which

551
00:32:23,330 --> 00:32:27,530
we have tried to improve incrementally over time without major investment, but

552
00:32:27,530 --> 00:32:33,070
we're pretty not great when I was first here eight years ago. So those are the

553
00:32:33,070 --> 00:32:35,830
type of things and then just really looking at food options and

554
00:32:35,830 --> 00:32:40,350
concessions as part of those improvements as well. I don't know if I'm missing anything

555
00:32:40,350 --> 00:32:47,250
if you fry and you might have some recollection on some of those as well. If you

556
00:32:47,250 --> 00:32:48,490
of concessions with a big one?

557
00:32:48,910 --> 00:32:49,230
Yeah.

558
00:32:49,230 --> 00:32:50,610
If I may, I'll let them out, Mayor.

559
00:32:51,010 --> 00:32:53,190
It was, did the turf come up in that report?

560
00:32:53,490 --> 00:32:55,350
And where was the turf had in their priorities

561
00:32:55,350 --> 00:32:57,430
of what needed to be done on the stadium?

562
00:32:58,530 --> 00:32:59,490
I don't want to speak out a turn

563
00:32:59,490 --> 00:33:03,190
because I don't know my recollection on the turf itself.

564
00:33:03,730 --> 00:33:03,970
Issue.

565
00:33:04,170 --> 00:33:05,890
It's been part of our conversations,

566
00:33:06,070 --> 00:33:07,550
whether it was in that reporter not.

567
00:33:07,770 --> 00:33:11,050
I think it was more or less focused on infrastructure

568
00:33:11,050 --> 00:33:12,970
when it came to the structures themselves

569
00:33:12,970 --> 00:33:15,750
as opposed to some of those other items like turf.

570
00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:17,390
Thank you.

571
00:33:19,290 --> 00:33:21,010
Any further discussion or questions?

572
00:33:22,830 --> 00:33:23,450
Is there a motion?

573
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:26,340
Move approval.

574
00:33:26,740 --> 00:33:27,080
Spellabird.

575
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:27,640
Second.

576
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:29,660
Spend a motion by Spellabird.

577
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:30,420
Second by pain.

578
00:33:31,580 --> 00:33:32,280
Discussion.

579
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:48,100
I would move to add a section three that no funds appropriator allocated for the acquisition and installation of artificial or synthetic turf at the Sioux Falls stadium.

580
00:33:48,100 --> 00:33:54,140
may be expended until the city has signed a consulting contract on the use of the event center campus

581
00:33:54,140 --> 00:33:59,500
that includes the Sioux Falls Convention Center, Denny Sandford Premier Center, the Arena and the Sioux Falls Stadium.

582
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:02,660
Second, of course.

583
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,440
Okay, there's been a motion in a second.

584
00:34:05,520 --> 00:34:06,000
Discussion?

585
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:07,560
Thank you.

586
00:34:08,800 --> 00:34:14,440
I think for this group I've been pretty open that I don't love the timing of this.

587
00:34:14,500 --> 00:34:16,320
I think that we've got some work to do.

588
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:21,220
If it be the will of the council this evening that we do move forward in this investment,

589
00:34:21,380 --> 00:34:27,060
I'd like to have the assurance that we will move forward with the consulting agreement that's been budgeted for the last number of years.

590
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:28,700
And would appreciate your support.

591
00:34:29,480 --> 00:34:30,500
Any other discussion?

592
00:34:31,220 --> 00:34:34,080
I'll roll call vote on that amendment.

593
00:34:35,160 --> 00:34:36,140
Consumembers, Sigurdie?

594
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:37,360
Spellaburg?

595
00:34:37,380 --> 00:34:37,680
Yes.

596
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:38,500
Tomisson?

597
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:38,840
Yes.

598
00:34:39,080 --> 00:34:39,360
Yes.

599
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:41,000
Oquay?

600
00:34:42,340 --> 00:34:42,900
Yes.

601
00:34:42,900 --> 00:34:43,780
Oppenheimer.

602
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:45,140
Thank you.

603
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:45,660
Yes.

604
00:34:46,180 --> 00:34:47,760
That amendment passes 8 to 0.

605
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:50,080
We are back to the main motion as amended.

606
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:51,680
Any further discussion?

607
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:54,600
Seeing none, roll call vote.

608
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:56,000
Council member Sigurdie?

609
00:34:56,460 --> 00:34:57,020
Spellaburg?

610
00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:57,440
Yes.

611
00:34:57,560 --> 00:34:58,040
Honourson?

612
00:35:01,030 --> 00:35:01,310
Yes.

613
00:35:02,770 --> 00:35:03,050
Yes.

614
00:35:04,690 --> 00:35:05,330
Equay?

615
00:35:05,690 --> 00:35:06,070
Yes.

616
00:35:06,370 --> 00:35:06,870
Oppenheimer?

617
00:35:07,710 --> 00:35:08,050
Yes.

618
00:35:09,490 --> 00:35:11,770
That item has passed 7 to 1.

619
00:35:12,050 --> 00:35:12,610
Next item.

620
00:35:12,910 --> 00:35:13,110
20.

621
00:35:13,110 --> 00:35:14,150
20

622
00:35:20,710 --> 00:35:30,670
is the resolution adopting the budget for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027 and the 2027, 2031 capital program sponsors the mayor.

623
00:35:31,950 --> 00:35:32,670
Director Richard.

624
00:35:36,340 --> 00:35:37,380
Good evening again.

625
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:43,320
I spoke a lot about the budget in the times longer than anyone has ever wanted to listen to me.

626
00:35:43,580 --> 00:35:47,120
So we're going to keep it very brief tonight when we talk about the budget resolution.

627
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:49,960
So this is our first step in the budget approval process.

628
00:35:49,960 --> 00:35:56,200
We move this in front of the appropriation, but this really sets the revenue and expenditure

629
00:35:56,200 --> 00:36:01,360
Authority and expectations across all divisions and all funds of the city.

630
00:36:01,980 --> 00:36:10,740
And it also approves the $1.1 billion or $2027 through 2031 capital program that was also submitted to the Council for its consideration.

631
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:14,200
We move the budget first for consideration of amendments.

632
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:18,440
And then once though if there are amendments and they pass and they are

633
00:36:18,440 --> 00:36:22,180
identified on to the resolution in your notes the next section we'll talk about how

634
00:36:22,180 --> 00:36:24,700
those get incorporated into the appropriation.

635
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:30,120
Just one thing I wanted to say was I think the mayor said in her budget

636
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:35,280
presentation as a former council member she understands that passing the annual

637
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,160
budget is probably the most important thing that we do collaboratively

638
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:44,400
between the council and the administration, and I would like to say that, you know, the

639
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:48,440
conversations we had this year, I think are really a good example of how that can be done

640
00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:54,160
well between an administration and a council, especially during a time of transition for

641
00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:58,740
three council members and a mayor at a time right in the middle of that budget process.

642
00:36:58,740 --> 00:37:02,900
So I want to thank you for the good conversations, and I will stand by for any remaining

643
00:37:02,900 --> 00:37:03,380
questions.

644
00:37:03,500 --> 00:37:07,300
I would also note that the directors of the departments are all here as well and available

645
00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:08,660
for answering any kind of questions.

646
00:37:08,660 --> 00:37:09,740
Thank you.

647
00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:10,620
Thank you, Director.

648
00:37:10,820 --> 00:37:13,180
Anybody from the public wish to speak on this item?

649
00:37:14,600 --> 00:37:18,960
Seeing none counselors is their motion to any questions.

650
00:37:19,640 --> 00:37:20,600
Is there a motion to approve?

651
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:23,280
Move approval.

652
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:24,040
Oppenheimer.

653
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:24,600
Seconds.

654
00:37:24,660 --> 00:37:24,720
Bellow.

655
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:26,520
Oppenheimer.

656
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:26,980
Seconds.

657
00:37:27,040 --> 00:37:27,440
Bellow.

658
00:37:31,140 --> 00:37:35,320
Go ahead, discussion, yeah. I don't have a discussion.

659
00:37:35,940 --> 00:37:41,860
I don't have a discussion. Yeah. All right. Madam Mayor, I'd like to make an amendment to the, um,

660
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:47,940
excuse me, amend the main motion by amending the Highway in Streets 2027-2031 Capital Improvement Program.

661
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:56,440
By increasing funding for Project 1-1-1-3-2, Benson Road Improvements by 800,000 in 2027 for a contribution from Sanford development,

662
00:37:56,440 --> 00:38:00,420
and 3 million in 2027 for a South Dakota Department of Transportation

663
00:38:00,420 --> 00:38:01,920
contribution for construction.

664
00:38:02,700 --> 00:38:04,460
The appropriation will be increased in the highways

665
00:38:04,460 --> 00:38:06,680
and streets tax sales tax budget for the

666
00:38:06,680 --> 00:38:10,680
contributions totaling 3.8 million.

667
00:38:11,700 --> 00:38:12,260
A second.

668
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:13,140
Second.

669
00:38:13,980 --> 00:38:14,080
Okay.

670
00:38:14,500 --> 00:38:14,880
Go ahead.

671
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:16,320
There's been a motion in a second.

672
00:38:16,540 --> 00:38:16,940
Any discussion?

673
00:38:17,420 --> 00:38:17,520
Yes.

674
00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:20,620
As many of the directors in the city know,

675
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,340
I'm very passionate about these road projects

676
00:38:22,340 --> 00:38:23,500
up in northwest Sioux Falls.

677
00:38:23,500 --> 00:38:27,620
I'd like to, I'd like this to be North Marion, but I'm very excited that they were making

678
00:38:27,620 --> 00:38:32,880
some improvements on Benson. Andy Berg from the public works is here to answer specific

679
00:38:32,880 --> 00:38:38,920
questions if you have them, but this is basically finishing that road, putting in a traffic

680
00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:45,840
light, and it's basically being funded from outside sources. Thank you, Councillor. Any other

681
00:38:45,840 --> 00:38:46,600
further discussion?

682
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:48,500
Okay.

683
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,340
I think then we'll do a roll call vote.

684
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:53,720
I do have a copy of it here.

685
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:55,260
It was also, you got it.

686
00:38:55,280 --> 00:38:56,480
You received an email from Dr.

687
00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:58,040
Dr. Cotter about this afternoon.

688
00:38:59,360 --> 00:38:59,860
It will pass.

689
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,880
So you've got the amendment right there for you.

690
00:39:05,260 --> 00:39:06,760
So you'll be doing a roll call vote now.

691
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:10,400
We are voting on this amendment.

692
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:14,400
Combs remember Sigurdie?

693
00:39:15,020 --> 00:39:15,520
Valorver?

694
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:15,800
Yes.

695
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,200
Thomason. Yes. Bacy. Yes.

696
00:39:18,420 --> 00:39:21,060
A chorus. Yes. A quay. Yes.

697
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:22,480
Oppenheimer. Yes.

698
00:39:22,480 --> 00:39:22,960
Thank.

699
00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:24,640
Thank you. Yes.

700
00:39:25,340 --> 00:39:28,120
That amendment passes 8 to 0.

701
00:39:29,240 --> 00:39:31,840
Councilors, any other further, Councillor Bacy.

702
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:32,840
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

703
00:39:33,260 --> 00:39:36,180
I will pass out a piece of paper here.

704
00:39:37,360 --> 00:39:40,440
I move to amend the main motion by

705
00:39:40,440 --> 00:39:48,040
and ending the Capital Program Project 14026 Zoo Master Plan Improvements for a million dollars

706
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:54,040
in the entertainment tax, which shall be subjected to restrictions detailed in a future

707
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:59,360
resolution, considered and passed by City Council prior to uncovering or dispersing

708
00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,020
these entertainment tax funds.

709
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:10,420
Restrictions shall include commitments for funding from pledges in the full amount of the

710
00:40:10,420 --> 00:40:16,520
securing financing to cash flow pledges for the project which such financing costs are fully

711
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:21,580
incorporated into the project budget. Passage by the City Council of all title naming

712
00:40:21,580 --> 00:40:26,580
rights included in the project budget which require approval by ordinance and submission

713
00:40:26,580 --> 00:40:31,900
of at least a three year outlook for repair and maintenance for the zoo campus with consideration

714
00:40:31,900 --> 00:40:35,780
to funding sources and responsibilities in the zoo management agreement.

715
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:39,680
Second.

716
00:40:40,760 --> 00:40:42,320
It's been a motion in the second concept, basically.

717
00:40:42,460 --> 00:40:43,520
Would you like to unpack that?

718
00:40:43,700 --> 00:40:43,860
Yes.

719
00:40:43,980 --> 00:40:44,680
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

720
00:40:46,140 --> 00:40:49,440
You know, we've had a lot of conversations about the zoo and the importance of the zoo's

721
00:40:49,440 --> 00:40:50,780
success in our community.

722
00:40:51,900 --> 00:40:56,800
I think just the wonderful rallying of support that there has been for the vision of what's

723
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,720
happening at the zoo.

724
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:04,220
As we as a body are entertaining this ask for an additional contribution beyond what's been put

725
00:41:04,220 --> 00:41:08,380
fourth in the capital plan this one time this one time ask

726
00:41:08,380 --> 00:41:12,840
in conversations with the finance team and Parks and Rec.

727
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,160
Just wanting to be able to invest in our continued relationship with the zoo

728
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:22,080
as we know that moving forward beyond this investment beyond just this project.

729
00:41:22,380 --> 00:41:24,500
Our relationship with the zoo is a marriage.

730
00:41:25,100 --> 00:41:29,220
As we've heard that talked about and so really the intention with this is to

731
00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:39,980
commit to that collaboration and on our part say, hey, Hazoo, here's how we want to work with you for the future of not just this project, but also our

732
00:41:40,820 --> 00:41:41,700
management relationship.

733
00:41:44,410 --> 00:41:47,230
Thank you, Councillor. Any other comments on this amendment?

734
00:41:48,170 --> 00:41:52,070
Go ahead and Councillor McCourse. Thank you, Madam Mayor. Thank you, Councillor. I think you're articulating a lot of things.

735
00:41:52,590 --> 00:41:58,550
Correct, but our commitment for a long-term vision. I think what's important, why this is important is this is a little bit of a unique amendment.

736
00:41:58,550 --> 00:42:03,430
But I want to comment that this is a unique item for one reason, for example, we're

737
00:42:03,430 --> 00:42:07,970
expropriating funds from the first penny, general fund, repropriating funds from the second

738
00:42:07,970 --> 00:42:11,710
penny sales use fund, and we're appropriating from the entertainment tax fund.

739
00:42:11,950 --> 00:42:15,790
As I was researching, it's hard to find an example where we've done that previously,

740
00:42:16,230 --> 00:42:18,270
of taking from all three funds for projects.

741
00:42:18,450 --> 00:42:22,050
We've got a unique situation happening here for a unique opportunity.

742
00:42:22,830 --> 00:42:25,910
And so because of the unique opportunity, I think it's important for us to communicate

743
00:42:25,910 --> 00:42:29,210
to the public, we are committed to the vision of the zoo.

744
00:42:29,430 --> 00:42:31,690
That's what we're particularly committed to the vision of the zoo,

745
00:42:31,930 --> 00:42:33,550
and we're trying to set some things in place

746
00:42:33,550 --> 00:42:35,790
that help us do that in a really thoughtful way,

747
00:42:35,950 --> 00:42:37,410
so that repairs and maintenance plan.

748
00:42:37,770 --> 00:42:40,630
And also, I think, encouraging that other work,

749
00:42:40,810 --> 00:42:42,290
the cities kind of putting in their funds,

750
00:42:42,410 --> 00:42:43,690
encouraging others to give,

751
00:42:43,950 --> 00:42:44,870
because they're still in need.

752
00:42:44,970 --> 00:42:46,190
So I want to communicate to the public,

753
00:42:46,610 --> 00:42:48,090
we want you to step up alongside,

754
00:42:48,410 --> 00:42:49,930
and when you step up alongside,

755
00:42:50,410 --> 00:42:52,910
the city's going to come right alongside as well.

756
00:42:53,010 --> 00:42:54,330
So I think this isn't appropriate step,

757
00:42:54,330 --> 00:42:57,630
because of the uniqueness of the project that gets us committed

758
00:42:57,630 --> 00:43:00,910
and allows us to flush out some details at a later date.

759
00:43:01,290 --> 00:43:01,670
Thank you, Councillor.

760
00:43:02,010 --> 00:43:03,450
Any other comment?

761
00:43:03,770 --> 00:43:04,230
Sir, discussion.

762
00:43:04,430 --> 00:43:05,450
Go ahead, Councillor Stellerberg.

763
00:43:05,730 --> 00:43:06,390
I do have a question.

764
00:43:06,590 --> 00:43:08,110
This might be for Sean or maybe Becky.

765
00:43:08,610 --> 00:43:10,190
But the way that we're doing this amendment

766
00:43:10,190 --> 00:43:13,850
does that still unlock that next $10 million gift?

767
00:43:15,190 --> 00:43:16,250
Or does that affect that?

768
00:43:20,230 --> 00:43:22,610
I'll speak from our perspective and maybe Becky

769
00:43:22,610 --> 00:43:24,050
can correct that from my perspective.

770
00:43:24,050 --> 00:43:28,410
But essentially, we've moved forward with an appropriation.

771
00:43:28,710 --> 00:43:31,030
We've just put certain milestones in place that

772
00:43:31,030 --> 00:43:31,910
have to be checked off.

773
00:43:32,030 --> 00:43:35,390
And these are things we've had conversations with the

774
00:43:35,390 --> 00:43:38,390
management of the zoo about anyway, as part of our process.

775
00:43:38,630 --> 00:43:41,410
We wouldn't typically give funds until we know that the

776
00:43:41,410 --> 00:43:42,690
entire project is funded.

777
00:43:43,330 --> 00:43:46,050
We want some reliability that as the pledges come in, that they're

778
00:43:46,050 --> 00:43:48,910
going to be cash flow that will lead to success, because the

779
00:43:48,910 --> 00:43:52,090
construction cost will come in before all the pledges will come in.

780
00:43:52,090 --> 00:43:57,410
So I believe from our perspective that it does continue and a lot that because we have made

781
00:43:57,410 --> 00:44:00,290
the commitment in the appropriation and it's in the program.

782
00:44:01,030 --> 00:44:01,830
Thank you.

783
00:44:08,410 --> 00:44:08,650
Thank you.

784
00:44:08,650 --> 00:44:08,670
Thank you.

785
00:44:08,970 --> 00:44:08,990
Thank you.

786
00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:09,510
Thank you.

787
00:44:09,510 --> 00:44:12,690
Thank you for your consideration.

788
00:44:13,050 --> 00:44:15,910
All the work and all the conversations we've had to lead up to this point.

789
00:44:16,190 --> 00:44:17,210
I do believe it would qualify.

790
00:44:17,710 --> 00:44:22,370
It has to be in obviously your vote in the measure and documented, but I would look at this

791
00:44:22,370 --> 00:44:24,770
as a condition on the agreement and the gift.

792
00:44:24,770 --> 00:44:31,810
So, putting my little auditor hat on since I'd Bailey is great, it would just be a condition on a commitment.

793
00:44:32,790 --> 00:44:33,530
Thank you.

794
00:44:34,370 --> 00:44:34,910
Thank you, Becky.

795
00:44:35,650 --> 00:44:36,510
Anything else, Council?

796
00:44:37,830 --> 00:44:40,930
We'll take a roll call vote on this amendment.

797
00:44:41,590 --> 00:44:42,970
Council member Sigurdie?

798
00:44:43,770 --> 00:44:44,330
Spellerberg?

799
00:44:44,390 --> 00:44:44,650
Yes.

800
00:44:44,790 --> 00:44:45,350
Thomason?

801
00:44:45,390 --> 00:44:45,630
Yes.

802
00:44:45,830 --> 00:44:46,150
Bacy?

803
00:44:49,370 --> 00:44:50,050
Oppenheimer?

804
00:44:50,530 --> 00:44:51,590
Thank you, Niden. Yes.

805
00:44:52,370 --> 00:44:53,930
That item is passed to each is zero.

806
00:44:54,090 --> 00:44:55,630
That amendment has passed to each is zero.

807
00:44:55,730 --> 00:44:56,770
Any other amendments, Councillors?

808
00:45:00,850 --> 00:45:26,310
Councilor McCourse. Madam Mayor, I'd make a motion to amend the main motion by a men in general fund health department operating budget by increasing the budget $175,000 to dedicate towards an increase in street outreach in the wittier neighborhood area by 40 hours a week in coordinated and intentional communication campaign to area residents and businesses on a handle loitering or similar situations funding from the city's general fund available balance. Second.

809
00:45:26,310 --> 00:45:26,670
Thomas.

810
00:45:27,650 --> 00:45:33,570
There's been a motion to amend by McCorris, second by Thomas in discussion, Councillor McCorris.

811
00:45:33,830 --> 00:45:37,470
Thank you, Madam Mayor and fellow counselors, you heard me speak last week about the need

812
00:45:37,470 --> 00:45:41,650
to set a further priority of increasing the work we're doing as we're looking at further

813
00:45:41,650 --> 00:45:42,750
downtown growth.

814
00:45:43,190 --> 00:45:46,510
And one of the specific areas is the uniqueness of the Wittier neighborhood.

815
00:45:47,010 --> 00:45:48,910
So, for example, just kind of give you a feel.

816
00:45:49,290 --> 00:45:54,330
The Wittier neighborhood, I've had to consider east of Weber all the way to Cleveland, west of

817
00:45:54,330 --> 00:45:58,330
Cleveland, back to Weber, north of 12th Street, and south of Rice Street, in that area

818
00:45:58,330 --> 00:45:58,690
alone.

819
00:45:59,070 --> 00:46:05,070
You had about 3,800 nuisance calls year to date in that neighborhood.

820
00:46:05,110 --> 00:46:09,410
That's about 25% of all the nuisance calls for the city as a whole.

821
00:46:09,770 --> 00:46:12,350
That's kind of a mile and a half by a mile and a half area.

822
00:46:12,490 --> 00:46:16,590
I think what that shows is there are a variety of challenges in that area, but also a variety

823
00:46:16,590 --> 00:46:18,250
of growing opportunities for us.

824
00:46:18,370 --> 00:46:24,310
And so for an order for us to handle the growing opportunities, I think what we need to

825
00:46:24,310 --> 00:46:29,570
ground and intervene earlier before law enforcement gets involved and people hear me say that

826
00:46:29,570 --> 00:46:33,930
intervene before law enforcement. It's not anti-cop, it's actually pro-cop. The reality

827
00:46:33,930 --> 00:46:37,550
is anytime you get law enforcement involved, just think about yourself. You'd probably

828
00:46:37,550 --> 00:46:40,570
do this today as you're driving down the road. You're looking at your rear view mirror and

829
00:46:40,570 --> 00:46:45,110
there's a cop. What's the first thing that happens? Your blood pressure goes up. No matter what,

830
00:46:45,310 --> 00:46:50,570
if you're speeding like Thomason or driving slow like Sigurdie, both have the exact same response,

831
00:46:50,570 --> 00:46:57,750
The blood pressure goes up and so what I think is appropriate is that we intervene before a law enforcement and these delicate situations

832
00:46:57,750 --> 00:47:07,490
Because the situations that they're intervening on require a different approach and so what I want to encourage us to consider tonight is a really dedicated effort in that area

833
00:47:07,490 --> 00:47:13,190
Similar to what we're already doing downtown and the contract we already have in place across the community for Street Outreach

834
00:47:13,190 --> 00:47:18,870
But this really navigates it to a specific area the second aspect of this that I wasn't really planning on but came out

835
00:47:18,870 --> 00:47:22,530
over the last week, from thanks to the neighbors of what years the idea of making sure

836
00:47:22,530 --> 00:47:26,270
a portion of this is dedicated to direct communication with that neighborhood.

837
00:47:26,730 --> 00:47:29,530
A lot of neighbors told me over the last week they said, hey, we love it.

838
00:47:29,650 --> 00:47:33,130
It's a great idea, thanks for bringing this forward, but one thing could you make sure

839
00:47:33,130 --> 00:47:37,650
that it includes a really direct effort to making sure there's door hangers taken to doors.

840
00:47:37,750 --> 00:47:38,630
There's doors knocked.

841
00:47:38,910 --> 00:47:42,450
There's a direct communication campaign to each business in that neighborhood that says,

842
00:47:42,590 --> 00:47:45,590
hey, if something's going on, here's the number to call.

843
00:47:45,910 --> 00:47:48,250
So that there's kind of clarity of communication, what's happening.

844
00:47:48,250 --> 00:47:56,270
I think this is a great opportunity for us to make an intentional effort in an area where there's going to be major investment in the years ahead, so I'll stand by for questions

845
00:47:56,270 --> 00:47:59,250
but would appreciate your consideration of this tonight.

846
00:47:59,690 --> 00:48:01,770
Councillor's any other discussion on this amendment?

847
00:48:02,470 --> 00:48:02,710
Councillor Basing.

848
00:48:03,290 --> 00:48:03,970
Thank you, Madam Chair.

849
00:48:04,770 --> 00:48:06,290
I'll just take a moment.

850
00:48:06,970 --> 00:48:09,310
I'll just oversimplify if I may.

851
00:48:10,130 --> 00:48:14,450
The Whittier neighborhood has shown us that they're really engaged and really want to be helpful.

852
00:48:14,670 --> 00:48:17,430
And I'm really excited about this idea in this amendment

853
00:48:17,430 --> 00:48:21,710
to pour some fuel on the fire with our neighbors that are really engaged in that area and want

854
00:48:21,710 --> 00:48:24,090
to be part of a positive path forward.

855
00:48:24,350 --> 00:48:25,190
So thank you.

856
00:48:26,110 --> 00:48:28,050
I mean, I think else, Councillor Cairns, thank you.

857
00:48:28,050 --> 00:48:28,850
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

858
00:48:28,970 --> 00:48:33,930
I have a question for, so who would actually employ these street teams?

859
00:48:34,070 --> 00:48:37,290
Would it be the city or are we going to partner with one of the other street teams?

860
00:48:37,730 --> 00:48:38,730
The most great question.

861
00:48:38,830 --> 00:48:42,970
The motion is written in a way that it authorizes the health department, most likely to issue

862
00:48:42,970 --> 00:48:47,410
an RFP or contract out today, but it would really be up to them for their execution.

863
00:48:47,410 --> 00:49:02,730
of how they could add it onto an existing contract or an RFP with an LSA agency, I would say I can't speak to the administration, but from conversations I've had with others that there's not an interest in adding FTEs to the city on this, but use a service agency that's doing similar work.

864
00:49:03,090 --> 00:49:03,710
Okay, thanks.

865
00:49:05,090 --> 00:49:06,330
Any other discussion?

866
00:49:06,910 --> 00:49:07,230
Sarah?

867
00:49:07,890 --> 00:49:08,250
I'm sorry.

868
00:49:08,650 --> 00:49:09,290
I'm so sorry.

869
00:49:09,750 --> 00:49:10,510
It's okay, Madam Meer.

870
00:49:10,510 --> 00:49:14,910
And I do just have a question if you could just expand on that

871
00:49:14,910 --> 00:49:17,110
loitering term, you know, it's kind of a,

872
00:49:17,110 --> 00:49:22,070
there's a term in here on how to handle loitering or similar situations.

873
00:49:22,430 --> 00:49:25,370
And I'm just kind of curious what our vision is for

874
00:49:25,370 --> 00:49:29,290
how the whoever is hired for this role, how they will handle those situations.

875
00:49:30,270 --> 00:49:32,070
Thank you for the question, Councilor Femme,

876
00:49:32,650 --> 00:49:33,150
Madamer.

877
00:49:33,810 --> 00:49:35,790
One of the examples I would use is downtown.

878
00:49:36,030 --> 00:49:38,350
We've seen, for example, through the Ambassador Program,

879
00:49:38,350 --> 00:49:41,250
as the ambassadors have done a really good job of building

880
00:49:41,250 --> 00:49:44,530
relationship with the business owners so that the business owners first

881
00:49:44,530 --> 00:49:48,290
turn when a situation comes up is oftentimes the ambassador rather than

882
00:49:48,290 --> 00:49:51,970
the police department and the vision would be is that by having some more hours

883
00:49:51,970 --> 00:49:55,390
allocated to that neighborhood specifically we could build those relationships

884
00:49:55,390 --> 00:49:59,270
with businesses where their first turn not necessarily be the ambassadors but

885
00:49:59,270 --> 00:50:03,310
would be the service agency that they would reach out to directly and so a lot

886
00:50:03,310 --> 00:50:07,130
of times when there's a lawyer in situation someone it can be just standing in front

887
00:50:07,130 --> 00:50:11,770
your business for an hour hour and a half and they're just laying there can be uncomfortable

888
00:50:11,770 --> 00:50:16,610
and so what you do is you automatically call 911. So if we can add a step in there that can

889
00:50:16,610 --> 00:50:20,450
hopefully reduce those calls, think that'd be great for all parties involved.

890
00:50:23,060 --> 00:50:23,420
Any other

891
00:50:23,420 --> 00:50:29,220
discussion or questions? Let's see now I'll take a roll call vote on this amendment.

892
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:38,840
Council members

893
00:50:44,820 --> 00:51:01,180
I'd like to move to amend the main motion by amending the intertainment venues 2027, 2031 Capital Improvement Plan by Decreasing Project 1301-3, the Sioux Falls Statement Improvements by 950,000 in 2027 within the intertainment tax fund.

894
00:51:01,180 --> 00:51:06,380
Second, Bacy, been a motion in a second. Any discussion?

895
00:51:07,800 --> 00:51:08,320
Councillor Stigity?

896
00:51:08,700 --> 00:51:09,520
Sure, thank you, Madam Mayor.

897
00:51:10,260 --> 00:51:16,460
This is, obviously, we discussed this at length, item number 19, agenda number, agenda item 19.

898
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:22,040
This is the, the turf at the Canary Stadium, and a no director, Richard, meant said that we like to,

899
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:23,380
we need to take care of the city's assets.

900
00:51:23,580 --> 00:51:28,220
I couldn't agree more, and he also called me out and said that I'm wanting a plan.

901
00:51:28,420 --> 00:51:30,240
And I guess I just, I'm going to bring this up.

902
00:51:30,240 --> 00:51:34,440
If it doesn't pass, it doesn't pass, but I'd like to have the conversation about whether

903
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:39,420
or not this council believes that we should do the turf before there's a solid plan.

904
00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,060
So thank you for your support.

905
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,460
Is there a second?

906
00:51:44,900 --> 00:51:44,920
Sure.

907
00:51:45,340 --> 00:51:46,560
We had a motion in a second.

908
00:51:47,120 --> 00:51:48,740
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

909
00:51:50,140 --> 00:51:54,640
I appreciate Councillor SIGGETY bringing this up and in the conversations that we've had,

910
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,320
a few things stick out to me.

911
00:51:56,320 --> 00:52:00,060
We've asked for a plan for multiple years.

912
00:52:00,240 --> 00:52:02,980
We've put money in the budget to have a plan

913
00:52:02,980 --> 00:52:05,140
so that we could figure out what,

914
00:52:05,140 --> 00:52:08,760
how to what degree are we investing in this campus?

915
00:52:09,900 --> 00:52:12,420
And it's really important when we make investment decisions

916
00:52:12,420 --> 00:52:16,140
that we have something that those investment decisions stick to.

917
00:52:16,360 --> 00:52:18,860
It's also my understanding that if we were to approve,

918
00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:23,100
if we were to appropriate and approve dollars for turf,

919
00:52:23,100 --> 00:52:29,340
The installation would actually happen until the fall of 2027 and then it would be installed and it would sit there

920
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:38,120
And then winter over the year for then 2028 activity. So that timeline seems a little wonky to me of why we would need to

921
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:59,980
invest in it this year. And the other part of it, for me, is thinking about investing in this turf part of, you know, part of the conversation piece was, you know, hey, there's non-baseball activity opportunities. We've, we've heard a lot of dreams or wishes, but we haven't seen plans or contracts or strategies for how that's happening.

922
00:52:59,980 --> 00:53:05,940
happening. So I'd really like us to be able to have the conversation next year of

923
00:53:05,940 --> 00:53:11,260
hey, maybe it's a turf investment and then some because we have a better plan, a better

924
00:53:11,260 --> 00:53:18,400
vision, we have activities program. We have more that we can buy into instead of instead of just

925
00:53:18,400 --> 00:53:19,380
the turf this year.

926
00:53:21,990 --> 00:53:24,810
Any other comments? Go ahead, Councillor. It's fellow bird.

927
00:53:25,190 --> 00:53:29,830
More of a question. So just one understanding. We passed 19 but now we're removing it back from the

928
00:53:31,490 --> 00:53:32,550
That's correct.

929
00:53:34,350 --> 00:53:34,730
Councillor Pankin.

930
00:53:35,470 --> 00:53:42,050
Madam Mayor, I just wanted to understand a little bit more about if the turf that we already

931
00:53:42,050 --> 00:53:48,410
passed, if there is something in place that it wouldn't be installed until the fall of

932
00:53:48,410 --> 00:53:49,090
2027.

933
00:53:49,530 --> 00:53:52,870
I was kind of looking for more information on that director.

934
00:53:56,540 --> 00:54:00,820
So I think it'd be very clear like we have a process where we would have to design it

935
00:54:00,820 --> 00:54:04,780
and install it. So there's a whole process when it comes to these projects. So there's

936
00:54:04,780 --> 00:54:08,480
a couple of things. I had a good conversation with Councillor McCorris about this today as

937
00:54:08,480 --> 00:54:13,180
well. So there's a couple of things. A new age is a opinion that limits our ability

938
00:54:13,180 --> 00:54:17,660
to do public improvement projects off of cooperative agreements. So we may have to go through

939
00:54:17,660 --> 00:54:22,800
a design period that we wouldn't have had to do before. And then have to bid installation

940
00:54:22,800 --> 00:54:27,900
or installation inter separately on a hard bid as opposed to just buying off of cooperative

941
00:54:27,900 --> 00:54:30,180
So that adds a little bit of a time.

942
00:54:30,380 --> 00:54:33,800
You always have uncertainty when it comes to spring baseball or when spring comes.

943
00:54:34,060 --> 00:54:39,180
So whether you can really get a hard commitment with a contractor to get it installed during that time period.

944
00:54:39,700 --> 00:54:44,980
A little bit easier in the fall after the baseball season has expired for that year.

945
00:54:45,740 --> 00:54:54,940
There's just getting product in by the time we would order it and what the extended length might be in order to receive that information.

946
00:54:54,940 --> 00:55:00,900
And then just the previous or our resolution where you're binding it around it an approved lease.

947
00:55:00,940 --> 00:55:03,500
We're probably not going to do that till the end of this year.

948
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:05,540
So there's just the sequence of event.

949
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:10,600
I just want to be honest and forthright that you probably not looking at until fall.

950
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:14,980
And fall is probably going to be your most optimal time in which to install it anyway.

951
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,220
I have one follow-up question on that.

952
00:55:18,980 --> 00:55:30,280
And for you, so if the project was not funded for another year, then the process that you just explained would also be pushed back an entire year.

953
00:55:30,540 --> 00:55:30,780
Is that right?

954
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:47,620
At least, I mean, if the intent is that until we have an events center master plan, we can't do any major improvements to this stadium, we're pushing out at least two years at that point because we will be putting together the budget next year at the same time that we would be starting any sort of master planning process.

955
00:55:47,620 --> 00:55:50,260
So you're at least two years away from installation.

956
00:55:50,600 --> 00:55:52,680
Thank you.

957
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:53,580
Cancer, celebrate.

958
00:55:54,020 --> 00:55:54,720
More of a statement.

959
00:55:55,400 --> 00:56:00,280
So I don't know if you'd find anybody that was more against this than I was when I started

960
00:56:00,280 --> 00:56:01,680
out after talking with you, Sean.

961
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:04,880
And at tour of the stadium, saw what they had going on.

962
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:08,960
If you sit behind the home plate, the outfield looks fantastic.

963
00:56:09,100 --> 00:56:12,000
But when you tour it, that outfield is in rough shape.

964
00:56:12,260 --> 00:56:16,020
And if you're doing any concerts or if you're doing any activities, I think it makes it more

965
00:56:16,020 --> 00:56:20,380
If there's rain, you can't play on it, you can feel it gets dry much faster than the

966
00:56:20,380 --> 00:56:20,880
outfield.

967
00:56:21,780 --> 00:56:26,440
I'm not going to support the amendment because I want to see what the canaries can do with

968
00:56:26,440 --> 00:56:26,980
that space.

969
00:56:27,220 --> 00:56:31,360
I want them to have enough time to be able to plan for it and start activating it.

970
00:56:31,680 --> 00:56:36,600
Because if we're going to do additional items for improvements on the road, we need to be able

971
00:56:36,600 --> 00:56:39,600
to see that they can activate it for more than just 50 baseball games.

972
00:56:40,020 --> 00:56:45,580
So I would not support the amendment tonight, but I would like to see that place be super successful.

973
00:56:45,580 --> 00:56:47,020
because it's a fun place to go.

974
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,140
We just need to see more things than just 50 games there.

975
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:53,300
Councilor McWars.

976
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:54,580
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

977
00:56:55,080 --> 00:56:55,740
Thank you for the amendment.

978
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:57,860
Councilor Siggity and City Conversations Director.

979
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:01,000
I think what sticks out to me to want to clarify is that,

980
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:03,440
you know, with it being from the entertainment tax fund,

981
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,440
I am going to support the amendment tonight.

982
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:07,920
And then number one reason I'm going to support the amendment is

983
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,680
I'm really struggling on non-based ball revenue opportunities.

984
00:57:12,140 --> 00:57:14,880
That's going to strengthen the city piece of it.

985
00:57:14,880 --> 00:57:16,760
I'm not totally convinced on that.

986
00:57:16,760 --> 00:57:20,280
on that yet that we're going to be able to work out an agreement that those non-based

987
00:57:20,280 --> 00:57:23,480
ball revenues are going to come back to the city or we're going to be able to create the

988
00:57:23,480 --> 00:57:27,300
size of events that are going to create crowds that create the economic impact.

989
00:57:27,520 --> 00:57:30,640
But since it's coming from the entertainment tax, my encouragement would be this.

990
00:57:31,020 --> 00:57:33,620
We can deal with this also outside of the budget season.

991
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:38,460
So for example, we know the things that were prioritized about, there could be a supplement

992
00:57:38,460 --> 00:57:42,480
from the entertainment tax in February, if over the next three months we've got a strategy

993
00:57:42,480 --> 00:57:46,640
specifically on non-based ball revenue, the new agreements get done, etc.

994
00:57:46,820 --> 00:57:50,360
So I just want to encourage that, I think we've laid out some priorities that some of us

995
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:53,420
have if this thing was to be removed in the entertainment tax.

996
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:57,660
My encouragement was we can still deal with this over the next six months because we're

997
00:57:57,660 --> 00:58:01,700
not removing money, that money is still going to be sitting in the entertainment tax.

998
00:58:01,980 --> 00:58:05,300
Fund, unless I'm wrong on that, I can be corrected if I'm wrong on that.

999
00:58:05,320 --> 00:58:06,460
That's how I'm looking at this.

1000
00:58:06,560 --> 00:58:11,120
I want to see continued work be done over the next six months on it.

1001
00:58:11,120 --> 00:58:19,080
Can I make a comment or please on that I think those are fair questions and I think you know

1002
00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:23,820
I look at okay, what's direct revenue versus indirect like economic impact as well

1003
00:58:23,820 --> 00:58:29,220
I wish that we were far enough away from having banana ball here last week

1004
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:36,880
To the 15,000 people which would love to see what the visitorship was 50 miles or more because I think it was probably fairly high

1005
00:58:37,300 --> 00:58:41,100
Overall, which has significant economic impact like that one event could have

1006
00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:46,140
a million-dollar plus economic impact on the community, and that wouldn't have happened without

1007
00:58:46,140 --> 00:58:50,400
the canaries being in control of that field and being able to do that.

1008
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:53,660
And it wouldn't have happened unless we had a baseball field that could accommodate them.

1009
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:58,260
But we do have to continue to invest in that stadium in order for us to attract to those kind

1010
00:58:58,260 --> 00:58:58,740
of events.

1011
00:58:59,080 --> 00:59:03,640
So, right, I get the concept vision creates a track's capital, right?

1012
00:59:03,780 --> 00:59:05,440
Have the vision attract the capital.

1013
00:59:06,060 --> 00:59:10,460
But I would point to the fact that if this moves forward tonight, there is another milestone.

1014
00:59:10,460 --> 00:59:15,200
this doesn't just move forward. We have to bring back a lease and you have to agree to those

1015
00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:20,980
lease terms before we could actually execute on this at all. So I wouldn't say it's supplementing,

1016
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,580
but it has the same impact as that. We still have another decision point and it comes down to that

1017
00:59:25,580 --> 00:59:30,700
lease being approved. And at that time, I think we will be in a much better case to bring a vision

1018
00:59:30,700 --> 00:59:36,200
of what the opportunity is for consideration. Councillor McLaren, sir, Councillor Thomson.

1019
00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:39,660
I love to be a counselor course for a day.

1020
00:59:41,300 --> 00:59:44,500
Overall, I am totally in favor of turfing this.

1021
00:59:44,700 --> 00:59:48,300
As you and I talked earlier, for me, it's a matter of when not if.

1022
00:59:48,340 --> 00:59:51,260
The canaries are a story part of Sioux Falls.

1023
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:53,040
We all have memories of going to games.

1024
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:57,940
But the one thing that keeps sticking out to me and all these conversations is Sioux Falls Stadium.

1025
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:10,480
And I think that it's going to be great to have any of that center, master plan or convention center, master plan, but I want to know how Sioux Falls can benefit from this.

1026
01:00:10,980 --> 01:00:20,320
Can we have an open field? Because now it's turf and kids can go out there and throw a baseball on a stadium with their parents.

1027
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:24,320
can adult leagues be brought back up

1028
01:00:24,320 --> 01:00:26,080
whether it's a kickball league or a football league,

1029
01:00:26,180 --> 01:00:27,800
can it be used kind of like as a park,

1030
01:00:27,980 --> 01:00:29,100
almost in a certain regard.

1031
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:32,400
And so I think all the things that have been brought up

1032
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:33,980
have been great for me, I want to know

1033
01:00:33,980 --> 01:00:36,360
how this can be used to help community enrichment.

1034
01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:39,480
And I do think that it doesn't need to be turf.

1035
01:00:39,620 --> 01:00:41,820
I don't think the answer is right now.

1036
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,520
I do think it should be very, very soon.

1037
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:46,840
But I'm going to support this just because I would like

1038
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,480
to see a vision of what the stadium can be for the community

1039
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:51,220
and how we can use it as a community.

1040
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:53,120
Thank you, Councillor.

1041
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:56,620
Any other discussion questions?

1042
01:00:57,580 --> 01:01:01,580
Rokeau vote on Councillor SIGITIES a minute.

1043
01:01:02,440 --> 01:01:03,520
Councillor members, SIGITIES?

1044
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:03,860
Yes.

1045
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:04,680
Spelletberg?

1046
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:05,040
No.

1047
01:01:05,420 --> 01:01:05,980
Thomason?

1048
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:07,280
Maycey?

1049
01:01:07,560 --> 01:01:07,660
Yes.

1050
01:01:07,940 --> 01:01:08,500
Macuris?

1051
01:01:08,940 --> 01:01:09,220
Yes.

1052
01:01:10,180 --> 01:01:10,940
Oquey?

1053
01:01:11,800 --> 01:01:12,160
Yes.

1054
01:01:12,340 --> 01:01:12,900
Oppenheimer?

1055
01:01:17,400 --> 01:01:18,160
Yes.

1056
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:20,660
any other amendments.

1057
01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,980
Seeing none more back. Oh, I'm sorry. Yeah. I moved to amend the

1058
01:01:26,980 --> 01:01:33,040
main motion to the twenty twenty seven general fund police operating budget by decreasing

1059
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:37,440
the budget a hundred and twenty thousand dollars by striking the line item dedicated to

1060
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:38,300
flop cameras.

1061
01:01:41,440 --> 01:01:49,180
There's seconds. Second. A quay. There's a go ahead Councillor Pinkenon. Yes. Thank

1062
01:01:49,180 --> 01:01:50,680
Madam Mayor,

1063
01:01:52,740 --> 01:02:05,060
concerns with surveillance related to the Fourth Amendment to the United States Constitution, and a number of people in Sioux Falls have used their first amendment to let us know that they do not agree with being watched.

1064
01:02:05,660 --> 01:02:09,320
As an elected official, I owe it to these people to bring this forward.

1065
01:02:10,080 --> 01:02:16,000
I do have faith in our police department and officers to provide public safety without this form of surveillance.

1066
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:20,510
Any other discussion councillors?

1067
01:02:22,750 --> 01:02:24,050
Seeing then, uh,

1068
01:02:24,890 --> 01:02:26,450
Rookaville on this amendment.

1069
01:02:27,370 --> 01:02:29,030
Council member Sigurdie? No.

1070
01:02:30,550 --> 01:02:31,490
Spellaburg? No.

1071
01:02:32,330 --> 01:02:33,230
Thomason? No.

1072
01:02:33,610 --> 01:02:34,630
Bacy? No.

1073
01:02:35,210 --> 01:02:36,270
McCurris? No.

1074
01:02:36,690 --> 01:02:38,370
McCoy? Yes.

1075
01:02:39,210 --> 01:02:40,530
Oppenheimer? No.

1076
01:02:41,730 --> 01:02:42,970
Panking in. Yes.

1077
01:02:43,650 --> 01:02:45,590
That item has failed six to two.

1078
01:02:45,710 --> 01:02:47,830
We are back to the main motion as amended.

1079
01:02:47,830 --> 01:02:51,970
any additional amendments. Seeing none, a roll call.

1080
01:02:54,790 --> 01:02:55,970
I'm sorry, go ahead.

1081
01:02:56,190 --> 01:02:57,150
Just a point of discussion.

1082
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:00,700
Point of discussion. Yes, sir.

1083
01:03:00,980 --> 01:03:02,980
Right. One of the two things real quick,

1084
01:03:03,220 --> 01:03:05,040
say back to the director, what he said to us,

1085
01:03:05,180 --> 01:03:08,160
99.9% agreement is pretty good.

1086
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:10,240
So I would hope that all of us leave here tonight.

1087
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:11,560
Feeling pretty good.

1088
01:03:11,680 --> 01:03:14,320
I hit over 80% and people get sick of me saying that.

1089
01:03:14,420 --> 01:03:16,960
That's like a home run in this country for political

1090
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:18,260
with one another.

1091
01:03:18,660 --> 01:03:22,640
So really well job done by the administration, especially on a short turn around thing.

1092
01:03:22,780 --> 01:03:25,680
Second thing I want to mention, that didn't come up tonight, but some of us counselors

1093
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:29,860
have had conversation about, as I do want to mention something that we were unable to add

1094
01:03:29,860 --> 01:03:33,620
into the budget, or really thing, but I think it's going to be coming in the next six months.

1095
01:03:34,060 --> 01:03:38,500
Two falls on the precipice of one of the biggest moments, as we plan out what's going

1096
01:03:38,500 --> 01:03:43,720
to happen near downtown, with the Sanford District, with a change at Whittier Middle School,

1097
01:03:43,720 --> 01:03:48,000
with the parking ramp that we have, with the Riverline land, there's a lot going on in the

1098
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:52,260
downtown area. I believe over the next six months it's going to be appropriate for this

1099
01:03:52,260 --> 01:03:57,780
council to bring an additional supplement for a specific master plan leadership. Kind of like

1100
01:03:57,780 --> 01:04:01,900
what we do with our comp plan. When we bring somebody in, I believe the last comp plan was between

1101
01:04:02,380 --> 01:04:08,320
150 and 200,000 dollars. They did a great job. They hosted meetings at libraries. They hosted

1102
01:04:08,320 --> 01:04:12,380
community sessions. They came to informational meetings with us. I heard lots of positive

1103
01:04:12,380 --> 01:04:17,120
of the feedback. I believe over the next six months, us as a council are going to need to allocate

1104
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:22,880
specifically for some master planning from 14th Street to Rice from Minnesota to Cliff

1105
01:04:22,880 --> 01:04:26,260
because of what's going to be happening in our community. So I just wanted to raise that up

1106
01:04:26,260 --> 01:04:30,560
as a conversation point. So we're not surprised six months down the road like, well, why didn't

1107
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:34,460
you just put that in the budget? Well, I believe what happened is we've had such a quick quick turnaround

1108
01:04:34,460 --> 01:04:39,360
of the new administration. There's plans just being put in place. Let's let that bake a little bit

1109
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:43,220
before we bring that forward. But I would encourage the administration to consider bringing

1110
01:04:43,220 --> 01:04:47,520
a supplement in the next six months specifically for that, so we can get some master planning

1111
01:04:47,520 --> 01:04:50,620
underway. Thank you, Councillor. Any further discussion?

1112
01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:57,100
Seeing them, we'll take a roll call vote as amended for the budget.

1113
01:04:58,580 --> 01:05:00,580
Councillor members, Sigurdie? Yes.

1114
01:05:00,580 --> 01:05:01,560
Bellowberg.

1115
01:05:03,940 --> 01:05:04,540
Thomason.

1116
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:04,860
Yes.

1117
01:05:05,180 --> 01:05:05,600
Bacy.

1118
01:05:05,900 --> 01:05:06,080
Yes.

1119
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:06,740
McCurris.

1120
01:05:07,260 --> 01:05:07,500
Yes.

1121
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:07,680
Ok.

1122
01:05:08,560 --> 01:05:09,160
Yes.

1123
01:05:09,460 --> 01:05:09,900
Oppenheimer.

1124
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:11,300
Panking in.

1125
01:05:13,860 --> 01:05:15,820
That item is passed.

1126
01:05:16,080 --> 01:05:17,060
7 to 1.

1127
01:05:17,420 --> 01:05:18,680
Item number 21.

1128
01:05:24,880 --> 01:05:26,400
Item 21 is a second reading.

1129
01:05:26,660 --> 01:05:31,320
An ordinance of the city of Sioux Falls South Dakota providing appropriations, authorizing,

1130
01:05:31,560 --> 01:05:33,200
an increase in property tax revenue,

1131
01:05:33,200 --> 01:05:40,360
percent to SDCL 101335, and the means of financing for the fiscal year ending December 31,

1132
01:05:40,820 --> 01:05:42,780
2027, sponsors the mayor.

1133
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,020
This will be a last item for the budget approval process for this year, so this is the

1134
01:05:47,020 --> 01:05:52,200
appropriation ordinance, which appropriates the means of financing for the tax appropriated

1135
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:52,620
funds.

1136
01:05:52,900 --> 01:05:58,140
It also sets the means for financing those expenditures, which includes the property tax

1137
01:05:58,140 --> 01:06:01,780
allowed by law two and a half percent state CPI plus growth.

1138
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,020
There's any questions I'll stand by.

1139
01:06:04,320 --> 01:06:06,560
Anybody from the public wish to speak on this item?

1140
01:06:07,080 --> 01:06:09,860
Seeing none, Councillors any question for staff?

1141
01:06:10,940 --> 01:06:12,060
Seeing none as air motion?

1142
01:06:13,800 --> 01:06:14,220
Move approval.

1143
01:06:14,860 --> 01:06:16,900
Second, B.C. motion by C.C.

1144
01:06:16,900 --> 01:06:18,340
Second, by B.C. any discussion?

1145
01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:21,500
Seeing none, roll call vote.

1146
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:22,820
Not a mirror.

1147
01:06:22,920 --> 01:06:23,620
Oh, I'm sorry.

1148
01:06:25,460 --> 01:06:27,640
I'd like to move to amend to include

1149
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:34,660
all the past amendments by the council to the 2027 budget resolution and the 2027 to 2031

1150
01:06:34,660 --> 01:06:41,760
five year capital program. Second, of course. There's been a motion a second. Do you want to

1151
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:46,800
comment on that? I think this is just to make sure that we're consistent with all the amendments that

1152
01:06:46,800 --> 01:06:52,060
we just voted on. Okay, roll call vote. Council member Sigurdie? Yes,

1153
01:06:52,060 --> 01:06:57,340
Spelliver. Yes, Thomason. Yes, Bacy. Yes, McCurris. Yes, McCoy. Yes,

1154
01:06:57,460 --> 01:07:01,880

1200
01:08:42,730 --> 01:08:47,550
I'll take this chance to thank the Kirby family for their generosity, to thank the Sioux

1202

Here to answer any questions.

1203
01:08:55,860 --> 01:08:58,700

01:09:31,270 --> 01:09:36,570
amending the code of ordinances of the city by adopting the 224 international fire code and

1217
01:09:36,570 --> 01:09:41,170
amendments. Recommendations set a date a second reading for Tuesday, September 15th,

1218
01:09:41,290 --> 01:09:43,550
2026, sponsor is the mayor.

1219
01:09:44,610 --> 01:09:46,270
Good evening, Mayor. Council.

1220
01:09:47,570 --> 01:09:52,570
Sioux Falls Fire Rescue is proposing to amend chapter 91 of Sioux Falls,

1221
01:09:52,810 --> 01:09:58,610
Code of Ordance, to adopt the 2024 International Fire Code with city specific amendments.

1222
01:09:59,430 --> 01:10:04,290
And just as a reminder, the IFC does not cover residential properties.

1223
01:10:04,290 --> 01:10:14,690
This is commercial property only so three highlights. I kind of want to cover that we discussed briefly last week as the emergency response to communication enhancement system currently code

1224
01:10:15,890 --> 01:10:21,890
Model code states that this is a prescriptive code only we're looking to go performance based where we utilize

1225
01:10:21,890 --> 01:10:24,130
existing infrastructure in most

1226
01:10:24,130 --> 01:10:24,950
facilities

1227
01:10:24,950 --> 01:10:27,290
providing Wi-Fi and LTE

1228
01:10:27,290 --> 01:10:28,510
which will enhance

1229
01:10:28,510 --> 01:10:33,630
radio interoperability for first responders during emergency events

1230
01:10:33,630 --> 01:10:41,130
section. Second is section 903.2.10. This is a whole new section of code covering parking

1231
01:10:41,130 --> 01:10:48,490
garage sprinklers, any parking garage over 12,000 square feet or open parking spaces

1232
01:10:49,270 --> 01:10:57,710
over 48,000 square feet are required to be sprinkled. This is with an uptick of hybrid and

1233
01:10:57,710 --> 01:11:05,050
of EV vehicle fires, an important piece of adoption, and then section 322, powered

1234
01:11:05,050 --> 01:11:06,310
microbiality devices.

1235
01:11:06,730 --> 01:11:14,710
This is also a new section covering e-bikes, electric wheelchairs, scooters, and lays

1236
01:11:14,710 --> 01:11:20,510
out the charging parameters for these specific items.

1237
01:11:21,090 --> 01:11:25,690
Does not affect residents charging devices in their own homes.

1238
01:11:25,690 --> 01:11:28,310
you just apply is again to commercial properties.

1239
01:11:29,050 --> 01:11:31,230
So, pending any questions that's all I have.

1240
01:11:32,090 --> 01:11:32,790
Thank you so much.

1241
01:11:32,970 --> 01:11:35,250
Is there anybody from the public which to speak on this item?

1242
01:11:37,380 --> 01:11:39,400
Seeing none counselors and any questions?

1243
01:11:40,900 --> 01:11:41,540
Is there a motion?

1244
01:11:43,930 --> 01:11:45,290
Move approval, spelled word.

1245
01:11:46,490 --> 01:11:51,730
Second, basic, spin-emotion, and a second to set the second reading

1246
01:11:51,730 --> 01:11:53,810

1250

Item 25 is an ordinance of the city of Sioux Falls, South Dakota,

1251
01:12:17,390 --> 01:12:21,210
amending the code of ordinances of the city by amending chapter 150, building

1252
01:12:21,210 --> 01:12:25,810
sub-chapter property maintenance code by adopting the 2024 International

1253
01:12:25,810 --> 01:12:28,330
Prophement and Code, remaining there too.

1254
01:12:28,670 --> 01:12:32,930
Recommendation set of date, the second reading for Tuesday, September 15, 2026.

1255
01:12:33,090 --> 01:12:34,330
Sponsors the mayor.

1256
01:12:34,750 --> 01:12:35,290
Thank you.

1257
01:12:35,570 --> 01:12:35,670
Welcome.

1258
01:12:36,430 --> 01:12:36,610
Good evening.

1259
01:12:37,030 --> 01:12:38,150
Council, good evening, Mayor.

1260
01:12:38,670 --> 01:12:43,970
Yeah, this is updating from the 21 version to the 24 version of the property maintenance code.

1261
01:12:44,390 --> 01:12:48,550
Property maintenance code consists of minimum standards for properties and structures in

1262
01:12:48,550 --> 01:12:54,230
building facilities such as heating, sanitation, fire, environmental impacts.

1263
01:12:55,270 --> 01:12:59,610
Some, a couple of big changes that are happened to this code this year is there's an

1264
01:12:59,610 --> 01:13:03,590
actual definition for a dangerous building, so it gives our inspectors some guidelines

1265
01:13:03,590 --> 01:13:09,830
to when they can actually call it building dangerous and move forward on either forcing

1266
01:13:09,830 --> 01:13:12,510
the building to come up to a code or to condemn the building.

1267
01:13:13,170 --> 01:13:17,870
Another big change for the property maintenance code was it gives them language to now require

1268
01:13:17,870 --> 01:13:23,310
the replacement of smoke and CO detections on a property, the old language basically said

1269
01:13:23,310 --> 01:13:28,330
if they pushed the button and it worked, they had to allow them to use that.

1270
01:13:28,490 --> 01:13:33,550
A lot of the old smoke and COD techers, they will still work with the battery,

1271
01:13:33,830 --> 01:13:37,550
but the sensor that actually smokes, our sensor smoke in the longer work,

1272
01:13:38,270 --> 01:13:41,150
so it gives a lifetime of 10 years on smoke and COD tech.

1273
01:13:43,510 --> 01:13:46,290
That's it with the property maintenance code, so with any questions.

1274
01:13:47,550 --> 01:13:48,230
Thank you, Justin.

1275
01:13:48,390 --> 01:13:50,850
Anyone from the public wish to speak on this item?

1276
01:13:50,850 --> 01:13:52,890

01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:07,040
Refications in this code, it was really just changing the number from 21 to 24, not a lot of dates on that, so.

01:15:40,220 --> 01:15:44,060
Mending the Code of Ordnances of the City by a Mending Chapter 150,

1326
01:15:44,340 --> 01:15:49,040
Building Sub-Chapter Building Code by adopting the 2024 International Residential Code,

1327
01:15:49,060 --> 01:15:50,560
and amendments there too.

1328
01:15:50,940 --> 01:15:54,780
Recommendation set a date of reading for Tuesday, September 15, 2026,

1329
01:15:55,120 --> 01:15:56,060
sponsors the mayor.

1330
01:15:57,040 --> 01:15:57,580
Welcome.

1331
01:15:59,260 --> 01:16:01,700
This deals with the International Residential Code,

1332
01:16:02,180 --> 01:16:03,320
this applies to the construction,

1333
01:16:03,700 --> 01:16:05,760
alteration, and repair residential one and two

1334
01:16:05,760 --> 01:16:08,240
family dwellings up to three stories in height.

1335
01:16:10,100 --> 01:16:11,540
A couple changes that happen to this.

1336
01:16:11,980 --> 01:16:13,360
Got some increase in snow loads,

1337
01:16:13,800 --> 01:16:20,100
the ASEE, which is the association of American society

1338
01:16:20,100 --> 01:16:21,020
of civil engineers.

1339
01:16:21,540 --> 01:16:23,540
They change the way that they gather their snow load.

1340
01:16:23,540 --> 01:16:28,360
It used to just be a stagnant number from study in the 70s, and they changed that to a rolling

1341
01:16:28,360 --> 01:16:29,220
50 years.

1342
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,880
For the city of Sioux Falls, it did increase our snow loads for both the residential

1343
01:16:32,880 --> 01:16:34,020
and commercial construction.

1344
01:16:36,940 --> 01:16:43,000
We have some additional requirements for ESS system, emergency, or energy storage systems.

1345
01:16:43,200 --> 01:16:48,060
We're just starting to see a lot of these put in the houses for utilizing solar power,

1346
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:52,300
or people who want to have their electric car, this allows them to charge their vehicles,

1347
01:16:52,300 --> 01:16:54,820
If their power goes out, they got that storage.

1348
01:16:57,080 --> 01:17:02,420
These storage systems do have a good safety record, but if they do have a problem, it's a very severe fire.

1349
01:17:03,320 --> 01:17:09,540
So there's a lot of parameters put around one hour fire construction around these devices that go into home.

1350
01:17:09,720 --> 01:17:12,600
So that's why we're starting to see those coming to the code now.

1351
01:17:14,020 --> 01:17:19,560
And then along with the IRC, we also have three new fees that we're adjusting or adding.

1352
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:25,180
The first fee is a $75 for the issuance of temporary certificate.

1353
01:17:25,620 --> 01:17:26,880
So you get a lot of occupancies.

1354
01:17:27,660 --> 01:17:29,660
This is a recovery cost recovery fee.

1355
01:17:30,180 --> 01:17:31,320
We fill a lot of these out.

1356
01:17:31,540 --> 01:17:32,860
It takes a lot of time.

1357
01:17:33,180 --> 01:17:34,940
Usually involves at least one inspector.

1358
01:17:35,260 --> 01:17:39,260
If not all four going back and doing another inspection to do the final.

1359
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,000
Closing out of that house or that project.

1360
01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:45,040
We issue a lot of TCOs in the winter.

1361
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:48,320
It's winter in South Dakota and you can't do outside work.

1362
01:17:48,320 --> 01:17:50,380
this fee will not be applied to those conditions.

1363
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:52,600
This is when we have stuff inside the dwelling.

1364
01:17:53,420 --> 01:17:55,140
That just isn't getting done, but yet,

1365
01:17:55,400 --> 01:17:56,900
they want to get people moving into the house.

1366
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:00,080
The second fee is a new fee.

1367
01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:02,020
It's a resumidl fee of $200.

1368
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:04,820
It's very similar to how our inspectors,

1369
01:18:04,820 --> 01:18:07,300
if they have to go to a project for the same inspection

1370
01:18:07,300 --> 01:18:10,720
of third time, we charge a fee to go back.

1371
01:18:12,320 --> 01:18:13,940
This will apply to plan reviews.

1372
01:18:14,140 --> 01:18:16,260
So when our plan reviews are looking at a set of plans,

1373
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:23,360
They develop a set of corrections that they want the architect or designer address, and then they send it back.

1374
01:18:23,540 --> 01:18:29,860
We'll often get back and they've only addressed half those issues, which means we're going to be sending it back and getting it a third time.

1375
01:18:30,340 --> 01:18:31,840
So this is really a deterrent.

1376
01:18:32,440 --> 01:18:38,320
We want the designers and architects to address all those comments the first time, so we don't have to charge this fee.

1377
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,400
So we're trying to hopefully this fee makes our staff more efficient.

1378
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:49,320
And then the final fee is occupying a home or any structure before a final inspection.

1379
01:18:49,920 --> 01:18:52,120
We have a fee currently right now of $250.

1380
01:18:53,480 --> 01:18:54,800
It just doesn't seem to be enough.

1381
01:18:55,140 --> 01:18:58,600
It happens quite often where we're moving families in the home before we have our inspectors

1382
01:18:58,600 --> 01:18:59,260
there.

1383
01:18:59,960 --> 01:19:03,000
It's very important that our inspectors are getting into these homes before they're occupying,

1384
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,420
making sure the mechanical systems are working right.

1385
01:19:05,740 --> 01:19:06,940
Electrical systems are working right.

1386
01:19:07,060 --> 01:19:11,380
No, we don't have a fire hazard or a furnace pumping carbon monoxide into a house.

1387
01:19:12,080 --> 01:19:16,240
So we proposed to increase that fee to $1,000 hoping it

1388
01:19:16,240 --> 01:19:17,160
deterred us that activity.

1389
01:19:18,620 --> 01:19:20,180
So with that, that's what we have for the IRC.

1390
01:19:20,380 --> 01:19:21,300
I can answer any questions.

1391
01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:23,080
Thank you.

1392
01:19:23,180 --> 01:19:25,380
Anyone from the public here, we're just to speak on this item.

1393
01:19:26,720 --> 01:19:28,120
Councillor's any questions for staff?

1394
01:19:28,580 --> 01:19:29,360
Councillor Pinkanan.

1395
01:19:29,600 --> 01:19:30,320
Yeah, thank you, Madam Mayor.

1396
01:19:30,640 --> 01:19:31,500
I just had a question.

1397
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:34,900
You mentioned it'll be a new fee, a recent middle fee of $200

1398
01:19:34,900 --> 01:19:38,580
to go a third time for an inspector to make a third visit.

1399
01:19:38,580 --> 01:19:47,080
And I was wondering if that would maybe consider being waived if the inspector had added new items on the second visit.

1400
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:51,040
Yeah, there's new items that they don't like the inspectors right now that we charge that fee.

1401
01:19:51,180 --> 01:19:53,280
This is for plan reviews coming in.

1402
01:19:53,540 --> 01:19:57,160
But yeah, there's additional items that they miss no than that fee is not charged.

1403
01:19:57,440 --> 01:19:58,300
Thank you. Thank you, sir.

1404
01:19:59,760 --> 01:20:00,440
Councillor McWarske.

1405
01:20:00,620 --> 01:20:01,180
Thank you, Madam Minister.

1406
01:20:01,460 --> 01:20:07,740
Can you give us a sense of the occupancy issue how frequently and often that's happening.

1407
01:20:07,740 --> 01:20:13,420
And if you've identified any consistent reason, and for example, is it because that gone and

1408
01:20:13,420 --> 01:20:17,800
done the inspection, but got two little things wrong, or is it because that we just don't

1409
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,080
have the capacity to keep up on the inspections?

1410
01:20:21,800 --> 01:20:23,840
No, they're just not calling in for their inspections.

1411
01:20:24,300 --> 01:20:29,440
With our TCO process, we work with them to get them, if they need to get people in the home,

1412
01:20:29,740 --> 01:20:30,680
people have tight deadlines.

1413
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:35,360
A lot of times, they're just ignoring it, and they're letting people move into the home without

1414
01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:42,000
calling inspection, majority of the builders, it's not a problem, but we have some

1415
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:45,660
frequent flyers that it's an issue, and they would just rather pay the fee than have to

1416
01:20:45,660 --> 01:20:48,380
deal with keeping the family out of home longs, it's both.

1417
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:48,860
Thank you.

1418
01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:52,060
Any other questions?

1419
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:53,480
Sarah Motion.

1420
01:20:54,140 --> 01:20:54,660
Move approval.

1421
01:20:55,300 --> 01:20:56,340

Motion by Siggity, second by Spellerberg, any discussion?

1423
01:21:00,800 --> 01:21:01,280
Seeing none.

1424

Roll call vote.

1425
01:21:03,140 --> 01:21:04,100
Council member Siggity?

1426
01:21:04,380 --> 01:21:04,560
Yes.

1427
01:21:04,560 --> 01:21:05,360
Spellabur.

1428
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:06,520
Thomason.

1429
01:21:06,520 --> 01:21:06,820
Yes.

1430
01:21:06,820 --> 01:21:07,180
Facy.

1431
01:21:07,540 --> 01:21:07,760
Yes.

1432
01:21:07,980 --> 01:21:08,500
McHurris.

1433
01:21:08,580 --> 01:21:08,940
Yes.

1434
01:21:08,940 --> 01:21:09,180
OK.

1435
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:11,040
Oppenheimer.

1436
01:21:11,600 --> 01:21:11,660
Yes.

1437
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:12,300
Hanking in.

1438
01:21:14,360 --> 01:21:14,560
Right.

1439
01:21:14,600 --> 01:21:15,840
That item has this eight zero.

1440
01:21:15,900 --> 01:21:17,000
Item 28.

1441
01:21:17,340 --> 01:21:19,680
Item 28 is an ordinance of the city's

1442
01:21:19,680 --> 01:21:23,120
to fall, so to quote, a mending the code of ordinances of the city by a mending

1443
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:29,120
chapter 150, building sub-chapter, mechanical and fuel gas code by adopting the 2024 International

1444
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:32,520
Mechanical and fuel gas code and amendments there, too.

1445
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:38,380
recommendation set of data second reading for Tuesday, October 15th, 2026, sponsors the mayor.

1446
01:21:40,620 --> 01:21:43,820
Again, this is just updating from the 21 version to the 24 version.

1447
01:21:44,400 --> 01:21:49,060
This code applies the design installation maintenance of all mechanical systems used for controlling

1448
01:21:49,060 --> 01:21:51,660
environment, environmental conditions within a building.

1449
01:21:53,020 --> 01:21:54,660
This is a pretty stagnant code.

1450
01:21:55,140 --> 01:21:58,840
There were some new refrigerants that came on the market that are environmental friendly.

1451
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:04,260
But with that they had a depose of fire hazard than the previous ones so there are some strict

1452
01:22:04,260 --> 01:22:09,960
requirements as far as protecting the delivery lines and that with some fire rating or

1453
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:11,240
putting them in fire rate of shafts.

1454
01:22:13,520 --> 01:22:15,920
So that I can answer any questions if you have any on that one.

1455
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:18,580
Anyone wish to speak on item 28?

1456
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:22,020
Seeing none, Councillor's any questions for Neil.

1457
01:22:24,350 --> 01:22:24,830
Sarah, motion.

1458
01:22:25,290 --> 01:22:25,830
Move a approval.

1459
01:22:25,990 --> 01:22:26,350
It's bell over.

1460
01:22:26,790 --> 01:22:27,410
Second, I'll open.

1461
01:22:27,830 --> 01:22:28,390
Motion by.

1462
01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:33,500
Question, seeing, then, roll call vote.

1463
01:22:33,900 --> 01:22:37,060
Councillor Maynard Sigurdie, yes, Spellerberg, Thomason, yes,

1464
01:22:37,060 --> 01:22:40,420
Maynard Sigurdie, yes, the curse. Yes, okay. Yes.

1465
01:22:40,740 --> 01:22:41,760
Oppenheimer, yes.

1466
01:22:41,920 --> 01:22:44,940
Hanking in. Yes. Item passes, eight zero, item 29.

1467
01:22:45,580 --> 01:22:48,700
Item 29 is the first reading and ordinance of the city of Sioux Falls,

1468
01:22:48,780 --> 01:22:51,460
South Dakota, a meeting, the court of ordinances of the city by a

1469
01:22:51,460 --> 01:22:55,180
mending chapter 150, building sub-chapter existing building code by

1470
01:22:55,180 --> 01:22:58,880
adopting the 2024 international existing building code and amendments

1471
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:06,180
there too. Recommendations set a date a second reading for Tuesday, September 15th, 2026 sponsors the mayor.

1472
01:23:07,660 --> 01:23:13,620
Welcome, Neil. Thank you. I'm just updating from 21 to 24 version. The IEBC,

1473
01:23:13,700 --> 01:23:19,160
the provisions of the existing building code applied to repairs, alteration, change of occupancy,

1474
01:23:19,600 --> 01:23:25,140
addition, and relocation of existing buildings. On the primary purpose of this code is to provide

1475
01:23:25,140 --> 01:23:30,940
flexibility between new code provisions and the code provisions that were in time of the place

1476
01:23:30,940 --> 01:23:35,920
was building the building was constructed. There's times when we need the new codes to apply,

1477
01:23:36,080 --> 01:23:41,100
but we also don't want. If that building was built under codes and past codes at the time,

1478
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:47,680
it was constructed. We don't want to hinder additions or remodels to the point where it just

1479
01:23:47,680 --> 01:23:51,720
makes the building totally reusable. So that's the purpose of the IBC.

1480
01:23:54,240 --> 01:23:55,320
Thank you. Anybody

1481
01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:59,820

01:24:23,030 --> 01:24:24,670
The item passes 8 to 0.

1490
01:24:24,850 --> 01:24:26,070
Item number 30.

1491
01:24:26,610 --> 01:24:30,050
Item 30 is the first reading and ordinance of the City of Sioux Falls, South Dakota,

1492
01:24:30,210 --> 01:24:34,670
Mending the Code of Ordnances of the City by a Mending Chapter 150, Building Sub Chapter

1493
01:24:34,670 --> 01:24:39,730
Building Code by adopting the 2024 International Building Code and amendments there too.

1494
01:24:39,990 --> 01:24:44,290
Recommendation said a day to second reading for Tuesday, September 15th, 2026.

1495
01:24:44,450 --> 01:24:45,930
The answer is the mayor.

1496
01:24:46,390 --> 01:24:46,570
Welcome.

1497
01:24:48,590 --> 01:24:53,290
So, the international billing code that applies to the construction, alteration, use and

1498
01:24:53,290 --> 01:24:57,510
occupancy, maintenance, removal, and demolition of every building or structure, except

1499
01:24:57,510 --> 01:24:59,230
those covered by the residential code.

1500
01:25:02,240 --> 01:25:05,560
As with the residential code, snow loads are a big one on this one that changed.

1501
01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:08,940
I'm a big change that came in, it is with ADA provisions.

1502
01:25:09,580 --> 01:25:14,240
I'm our large assemblies and education facilities now have to provide an adult changing station

1503
01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:18,220
or have rooms in the bathrooms that will provide an area for adult changing stations.

1504
01:25:19,040 --> 01:25:23,360
Another big change of this code, which is a huge benefit, is tornado shelters.

1505
01:25:23,980 --> 01:25:27,080
Most tornado shelters were designing our in schools.

1506
01:25:28,420 --> 01:25:31,440
The 21 and previous code said we had to design that.

1507
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:35,520
That tornado shelter had to be designed as a building at full capacity.

1508
01:25:36,340 --> 01:25:39,620
The gym was full, the lunch room was full, the classrooms were full.

1509
01:25:40,160 --> 01:25:44,940
That code changed to say tornado shelters have to be designed for the day to day use.

1510
01:25:44,940 --> 01:25:47,040
So that'll save a lot of money for school designs,

1511
01:25:47,540 --> 01:25:49,960
where we see the majority of our storm shelters being built.

1512
01:25:51,620 --> 01:25:54,080
The same fees that I talked about with the IRC,

1513
01:25:54,320 --> 01:25:56,280
apply it to this code also.

1514
01:25:57,620 --> 01:26:00,720
And then lastly, for the counselors that

1515
01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:02,360
weren't here for my informational and June,

1516
01:26:03,060 --> 01:26:05,740
we did have support at informational from the Home Builders,

1517
01:26:05,820 --> 01:26:07,100
Todd Anowski from the Home Builders

1518
01:26:07,100 --> 01:26:09,840
came up and gave their support for passing

1519
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:11,360
of all these building codes.

1520
01:26:14,150 --> 01:26:14,870
Thank you.

1521
01:26:14,930 --> 01:26:16,890
Anybody from the public wish to speak on this item?

1522
01:26:17,830 --> 01:26:19,630
Councillors, any questions?

1523
01:26:20,090 --> 01:26:21,250
Councillor Pakeen and.

1524
01:26:22,050 --> 01:26:22,710
Thank you, Madam Mayor.

1525
01:26:22,810 --> 01:26:24,090
I just have a question out of curiosity.

1526
01:26:25,070 --> 01:26:29,890
The ADA provisions, you mentioned the adult changing stations, and I'm curious what building

1527
01:26:29,890 --> 01:26:32,890
those would be required in it, like which size and which use to buildings?

1528
01:26:34,610 --> 01:26:35,970
Your larger event centers.

1529
01:26:36,450 --> 01:26:40,030
I believe it's three where we have an occupancy of 300 or more.

1530
01:26:40,810 --> 01:26:44,790
So that gets to be a pretty large event center where we have that use for that.

1531
01:26:44,790 --> 01:26:48,150
Like the Denny would have to have one if that was built today, so thank you.

1532
01:26:49,870 --> 01:26:52,290
Any other questions?

1533
01:26:52,470 --> 01:26:53,770
Councilors, is there a motion?

1534
01:26:55,510 --> 01:26:55,930
Move approval.

1535
01:26:56,510 --> 01:26:57,410
Second spellover.

1536
01:26:57,730 --> 01:26:59,490
Motion by second by spellover.

1537
01:26:59,610 --> 01:27:00,290
Any discussion?

1538
01:27:01,590 --> 01:27:02,950
Seeing none, roll call vote.

1539
01:27:03,470 --> 01:27:04,030

01:27:04,250 --> 01:27:04,670

1548
01:27:17,970 --> 01:27:22,350

1554
01:27:51,140 --> 01:27:52,780
to hire not a few details.

1555
01:27:52,880 --> 01:27:56,020
We request that one more week before this item is ready for your consideration.

1556

Thank you, anybody from the public here, we're just to speak on this item.

1557
01:28:02,020 --> 01:28:07,380

And move to a differ one week?

Panking on?

1560
01:28:10,840 --> 01:28:14,040
We need a motion first to approve and then we'll amend.

Thank you.

I am going to pass the gavel for the next item to Council Chair.

01:30:53,310 --> 01:30:55,270

Item 37 is a motion to provide advice and consent to the mayor's appointment of city

1612

01:31:14,580 --> 01:31:20,240
of Public Works, Joseph A. Kippley, Public Health Director of Matt McRevy, Fire Chief, David

1614
01:31:20,240 --> 01:31:26,480
If I flee city attorney, Sean Pricchett, Director of Finance and Jonathan Thome Police Chief of Sponsor Mayor.

1615
01:31:27,680 --> 01:31:28,360
Right here.

1616
01:31:29,420 --> 01:31:32,480
Good evening Mayor and City Council, Kim Stalkin with Human Resources.

1617
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:36,580
This motion is before you tonight because of a provisional like the highlight.

1618
01:31:37,240 --> 01:31:42,240
All appointed officer terms with the city of Sioux Falls expire when the mayor's term expires.

1619
01:31:42,740 --> 01:31:46,620
The executive orders, re-appointing the appointive officers, have been signed.

1620
01:31:46,620 --> 01:31:49,380
and the mayor has made those appointments.

1621
01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:52,400
Under the city charter, these department head appointments

1622
01:31:52,400 --> 01:31:54,960
are not finalized until Council provides advice

1623
01:31:54,960 --> 01:31:55,660
and consent.

1624
01:31:56,300 --> 01:31:58,720
We're asking for your advice and consent this evening.

1625
01:31:59,300 --> 01:32:01,900
My cell of along with the seven directors are here tonight.

1626
01:32:02,080 --> 01:32:04,400
Should you have any questions regarding these appointments?

1627
01:32:06,240 --> 01:32:11,300
I remember the public that was to address the council on the side of them.

1628
01:32:11,580 --> 01:32:12,020
All right, questions?

1629
01:32:12,380 --> 01:32:13,780
Council for staff, Madam Mayor.

1630
01:32:13,880 --> 01:32:14,360
Thank you.

1631
01:32:14,360 --> 01:32:20,580
If I can just say a few words, I know when I was on the campaign trail for the last year

1632
01:32:20,580 --> 01:32:21,060
and a half.

1633
01:32:21,140 --> 01:32:25,380
One of the things that I said often was it is important for these directors to be choosing

1634
01:32:25,380 --> 01:32:27,060
me as much as I'm choosing them.

1635
01:32:27,300 --> 01:32:32,260
I took the time to sit down with each and every director to share my vision, to share my

1636
01:32:32,260 --> 01:32:37,440
passion, and hear from them to making sure that this is where they wanted to be.

1637
01:32:37,840 --> 01:32:44,020
And so I am super grateful that we have an incredible team of directors here within the city

1638
01:32:44,020 --> 01:32:51,760
and ask for your support counselors. We do still have three open positions a fourth to come

1639
01:32:51,760 --> 01:32:59,260
after that with the IT department. And so I would ask for your advising consent on these seven

1640
01:32:59,260 --> 01:33:06,360
directors this evening. Thank you. Councilors, is there a motion to approve this item? Move approval,

1641
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:08,260
second spell or bird?

1642
01:33:08,360 --> 01:33:10,040
Moved by a second by a spell or bird?

1643
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:11,520
Any discussion or debate?

1644
01:33:12,200 --> 01:33:12,860
Uh, I guess.

1645
01:33:12,900 --> 01:33:13,440
Also, thank you.

1646
01:33:13,740 --> 01:33:14,040
Yeah.

1647
01:33:14,160 --> 01:33:18,060
I just noticed that council roll queen joined the room and I wanted to let you know that

1648
01:33:18,060 --> 01:33:23,760
We're on item 37 and it's just too approved.

1649
01:33:24,100 --> 01:33:25,480
The mayor's appointed directors.

1650
01:33:26,100 --> 01:33:28,500
So I wonder, you know, that that's what we're at with this vote.

1651
01:33:28,900 --> 01:33:29,420
Thank you, Councillor.

1652
01:33:30,600 --> 01:33:32,140
Any discussion or debate on the motion?

1653
01:33:33,420 --> 01:33:33,620
All right.

1654
01:33:33,720 --> 01:33:35,020
