PRESENTATION

Tyler Tordsen, President & Chief Executive Officer, and Bryce Healy, Economic Development & Member Relations Specialist, presented on the Sioux Metro Growth Alliance. The presentation highlighted the service area of the organization along with the two pillars of economic development: growth and engagement. The presentation went on to highlight some of the engagement events that are put on by the Sioux Metro Growth Alliance. Some of the challenges identified by the organization include limited water and wastewater options across the region, demand is outstripping the supply of housing options, the daytime population makes sales tax challenging; engaging residents to get involved in City government, and industrial parks are full and new development is expensive. Finally, the presentation focuses on the Sioux Metro Growth Alliance's goals for the upcoming year.

PLANNING COMMISSION APPOINTMENTS

Scott Anderson, Planning Director, gave a briefing on the six applications received for appointment of two members to the Planning Commission. 
    MOTION by Joe Kippley, seconded by Jen Bleyenberg, to Appoint Ryan VanDerVliet  to the Minnehaha County Planning Commission for a Four-Year term Beginning on January 1, 2025. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

MOTION by Bleyenberg, seconded by Kippley, to Appoint Cindy Heiberger to the Minnehaha County Planning Commission for a Four-year Term Beginning on January 1, 2025. By roll call vote: 5 ayes. 

AGREEMENT

Commissioner Kippley excused himself from the meeting at 9:18 a.m.

Tom Greco, Commission Administrative Officer, presented a request for the authorization to have the Chair sign the Coliseum Lease Agreement between Minnehaha County, Lutheran Social Services of South Dakota, and the City of Sioux Falls. The proposed lease agreement provides space for events and activities as well as the administrative offices association with the Lutheran Social Services' Multi-Cultural Center. The Coliseum is a County-owned facility. In 2002, the City, Multi-Cultural Center, and the County entered into an agreement for the Center's use of the facility. At that time, the Multi-Cultural Center was its own, distinct nonprofit organization, but in 2022, the Multi-Cultural Center merged into Lutheran Social Services. In 2022, the initial term of the agreement expired but continued without amendment pursuant to the intent of the parties and pursuant to SDCL 43-32-14. The proposed lease agreement formalizes new terms. Under the terms of the lease, the County maintains the structure of the facility as well as all plumbing, heating, air conditioning, ventilating, and electrical beyond the scope of normal and routine maintenance. Lutheran Social Services will provide programming, and activities will be aligned with the mission and vision of the Multi-Cultural Center; keep the interior of the facility in good order, condition, and repair; and provide the County will an annual presentation on the use of the facility. The City of Sioux Falls agrees to pay the cost of utilities, which total approximately $55,000 this past year. The proposed lease agreement expires on December 31, 2025. MOTION by Bender, seconded by Beninga, to Authorize the Chair to Sign the Coliseum Lease Agreement Between Minnehaha County, Lutheran Social Services of South Dakota and the City of Sioux Falls. By roll call vote: 4 ayes.
    Commissioner Kippley returned to the meeting at 9:22 a.m.

ELECTION BRIEFING

Leah Anderson, Auditor, provided a briefing regarding the 2024 General Election. The purpose of the briefing was to explain the work and process of preparing and conducting the 2024 General Election as well as detailed timeline leading up to Election Day. The briefing went on to highlight observations from the 2024 General Election which included absentee voting and ballot processing taking double the amount of work at a minimum; UOCAVA ballots take about triple the amount of work due to need to recreate the ballot. A comparison between the 2020 and 2024 absentee ballot processing was highlighted. Some areas of improvement include more absentee board workers and a complete second shift including new supervisors, largest UOCAVA precincts need to be processed earlier; review and change results reporting process as well as better storage and preparation facility. Finally, the presentation highlighted proposed legislative changes for consideration during the upcoming legislative session. Rick Weible provided an overview on proposed legislation. Public comment was received from Jill Franken, Jean Childs, Jessica Pollema, Penny BayBridge, Betty Oldenkamp, and Jennifer Foss.

Kym Christiansen
Deputy Auditor

Jacob Maras, Interim Highway Superintendent, provided a briefing on a resolution to update the Accommodation of Utilities on County Highway Right-of-Way and fee structure. Ordinance MC47-15 authorizes the Highway Department to issue permits and set forth requirements for utilities crossing highways under the County's jurisdiction. Under Section 4 of this ordinance, the Highway Superintendent is given authority to set fees for the issuance of these permits. This fee is to be set and published in the criteria guidebook. The fee schedule was then approved when the Commission approved Resolution MC #20-75 which implemented our guidebook which includes the schedule of fees. In 2024, 51 permits have been issued which amounted to about $16,865 in fees. The proposed resolution would allow for the re-issue of the guidance manual which has been modestly updated for each of the different fees. MOTION by Bleyenberg, seconded by Beninga, to Adopt Resolution to Update “Accommodation of Utilities on County Highway Right-of-Way” and Fee Structure and Approve Resolution MC24-29. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.

    WHEREAS, Minnehaha County Ordinance MC#47-15, permits the Minnehaha County Highway Superintendent to promulgate criteria, rules, forms, and the ability to assess fees for the permitting of utility facilities crossing highways under his jurisdiction within Minnehaha County; and, 
    WHEREAS, said criteria, rules, forms, and fees are established by Resolution MC#20-75, which incorporates an attached document, “ACCOMMODATION OF UTILITIES ON COUNTY HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY” and its appendices; and, 
    WHEREAS, said document needs to be updated from time to time to keep pace with industry standards and other evolving needs, including amending the fee structure, now, 
    THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Minnehaha County Board of Commissioners, that the revised and reissued attached document, “ACCOMMODATION OF UTILITIES ON COUNTY HIGHWAY RIGHT-OF-WAY,” dated December 2024, including its appendices, be adopted as the enforceable criteria, rules, forms, and fee structure for highway utility crossings pursuant to Minnehaha County Ordinance MC#14-15, Section 2, and such provisions not inconsistent with the provisions of the Ordinance shall have the same force and effect of the provisions of the Ordinance.

Intercepted Santa Letters! (Part Two)

Jinx the elf got lost on the way to the North Pole. //Photo by Natalia S on Pexels.com

Last week Tuesday, a strange sight occurred- running down Main, holding a pack of papers, was Jinx the elf. He had gotten lost on his way back to the North Pole, and had been due back the Friday before! He knew he was going to be in trouble with Santa, because those papers he had- they were the letters from Ms. Lentz's class, letting Santa know what they wanted for Christmas. He stopped into the Gazette's office to ask for directions, and we couldn't resist taking a peek before sending him home with a GPS system. Hopefully, he didn't get lost again!

To Ms. Lentz's second grade, I hope Jinx made it back in time for Santa to get your requests (if you didn't get what you asked for, this may be why!).

To our dear readers, enjoy the requests, and keep the Christmas spirit alive throughout the year. Be joyful, be kind, and most of all, be in community with one another. Happy Holidays!

FUND BALANCE RESOLUTION

Susan Beaman, Finance & Budget Officer, presented a proposed resolution that formally establishes Minnehaha County's goal of maintaining a 25% minimum unassigned fund balance within the General Fund and establishes guidelines for the use of any unassigned funds in future budgets. South Dakota Codified Law does not provide a specific recommendation or requirement for a minimum unassigned general fund. The County has recently been using three months, or 25% of the subsequent year's budgeted General Fund appropriations, as a minimum unassigned fund balance threshold when preparing forecasts. This guideline was also included as a formal recommendation in the April 4, 2023, Financial Action Network final report which stated the County should maintain a three-month reserve balance. The proposed resolution establishes a goal that the County's annual budget is prepared without the use of unassigned fund balance to balance the budget. In the event the Auditor's Office recommends the use of an unassigned fund balance to fund budget needs, they will prepare a statement explaining the request for discussion and consideration during annual budget meetings. MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Approve Resolution MC24-24, To Adopt a Goal that Minnehaha County Maintain a 25 Percent General Fund Unassigned Fund Balance. By roll call vote:4 ayes.

RESOLUTION MC24-24
RESOLUTION TO ADOPT A GOAL THAT MINNEHAHA COUNTY MAINTAIN A 25 PERCENT GENERAL FUND UNASSIGNED FUND BALANCE
 

WHEREAS, SDCL 7-21-2 authorizes the Minnehaha Board of Commissioners to adopt the annual budget and appropriate funds; and
    WHEREAS, the Minnehaha Board of Commissioners desires adequate reserves to cash flow County government and meet any emergencies; and
    WHEREAS, SDCL 7-21-18.1 stipulates the total unassigned fund balance of the general fund may not exceed forty percent of the total amount of all general fund appropriations contained in the budget for next fiscal year; and
    WHEREAS, the Minnehaha Board of Commissioners desires an ongoing plan for a fiscally sound budget;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MINNEHAHA BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS:
That the County establish a goal that it maintains a minimum unassigned fund balance at the end of each fiscal year equal to at least 25 percent of the general fund appropriations budget for the subsequent fiscal year.  If the unassigned fund balance as of December 31 falls below the threshold or is expected to fall below before that date, the Auditor’s Office shall, as soon as practical thereafter, present to the Board of Commissioners an explanation and options for replenishing the unassigned general fund balance to the targeted threshold; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED:
That Minnehaha County establish a goal that the County’s proposed general fund budget for each fiscal year provide for balance between projected revenues and expected expenditures without the use of general fund unassigned fund balances, and that the elected and appointed departments heads and officials of the County use their best efforts and mutual corporation to accomplish that goal.  If the Auditor’s Office believes that the financial condition or needs of the County require the use of funds from general fund unassigned fund balances in any proposed budget, such budget proposal shall include a statement of the reasons that the Auditor’s Office believes justify the use of the general fund unassigned funds.

Noem’s plan to cut $17 million from maintenance and repairs is ‘shortsighted,’ regent says

By: Makenzie Huber, SD Searchlight

South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem’s proposal to cut the state’s maintenance and repair budget by $17 million is “shortsighted,” a former Cabinet member said at a state board meeting Thursday.

Noem is proposing to fund the maintenance and repair of state buildings at 1.25% of replacement value instead of 1.75%.

Pam Roberts was appointed to her second term on the South Dakota Board of Regents by Noem in 2022. Roberts is also a former South Dakota Republican Party chairwoman and former secretary of the South Dakota Department of Labor and Regulation. During Thursday’s Board of Regents meeting, Roberts said she was disappointed in Noem’s repair and maintenance recommendation.

“We have such a huge investment in buildings and facilities across the state, and to reduce that at this point is, I think, a little shortsighted,” Roberts said. “And I’m very concerned about it, frankly.”

The state normally sets a maintenance and repair goal of 2% of replacement value, said Heather Forney, vice president of finance and administration for the regents, during Thursday’s meeting. She said the system has talked with the six state campuses about how the cut would impact their ongoing plans.

The Board of Regents will take the biggest hit if lawmakers accept Noem’s proposal, losing just over $9 million. The Department of Executive Management, which maintains executive facilities, faces a $6.4 million cut. Technical colleges face $824,007 and the state Department of the Military faces $593,302 in cuts.

The regents requested an increase of $7.4 million for maintenance and repair. 

Executive Director Nathan Lukkes said during his report Thursday that state universities will “be at the table to see what we can do” to come out “the best we can” by the end of the 2025 legislative session, which starts next month. He added that he has “the utmost confidence” in lawmaker’s ability to “do the right thing for the state and the system.”

“This is really just the start of the conversation,” he said.

The maintenance and repair reduction is one of numerous cuts Noem proposed earlier this month during her budget address, in response to the depletion of federal pandemic relief funds and declining sales tax revenue.

Uncertainty abounds for farm community as new administration takes shape

By: John Hult, 

SD Searchlight

HURON — The farm community faces uncertainty about tariffs and Cabinet picks but some opportunities to fight beef industry consolidation with the incoming presidential administration, according to the president of the National Farmers Union.

President Rob Larew spoke Thursday at the annual convention of the South Dakota Farmers Union in Huron. President-elect Donald Trump’s promise to levy tariffs on trade partners like China and some of his Cabinet picks have Larew concerned about what farmers might see in the coming years.

Tariffs from the first Trump administration that were continued by the Biden administration hit farmers hard, Larew said. A study from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Institute said the tariffs resulted in a $27 billion reduction in agricultural exports, with the largest export declines tied to trade with China.

Trump has threatened to issue additional tariffs against China, as well as against Mexico and Canada, upon taking office next month.

“We’re already getting the signals that we’re going to see these tariffs change and imposed on day one,” Larew said.

Matthew Roberts, an agricultural economist from Ohio, spoke to the group earlier in the day about tariffs. They have the potential to hurt farmers’ bottom lines, he said, and are all but certain to affect the price of groceries. 

“Sorry, but tariffs are ultimately paid for by consumers in about 80% of the cases,” Roberts said.

Concern about nominees

In their separate speeches, Roberts and Larew both mentioned Trump’s Cabinet picks and the promised efforts of other Trump-aligned insiders, like billionaire Elon Musk, as factors contributing to the unpredictability of farm policy in the coming years. 

The work Musk and former presidential candidate and venture capitalist Vivek Ramaswamy plan to do after promising to trim $2 trillion from the federal budget in the name of efficiency might create headaches for farmers, Larew said, though there isn’t a clear picture of what the pair intends to accomplish.

“We don’t really know what’s going to happen there,” Larew said.

Larew also mentioned Trump’s selection of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services. The one-time independent presidential candidate and scion of the Kennedy political dynasty has long contended that high fructose corn syrup poisons the American diet and contributes to an epidemic of obesity.

Trump said he would allow Kennedy to “go wild” on public health, which has sparked concerns in some quarters about policy shifts such as removing foods and beverages sweetened with the corn byproduct from schools. 

Roberts said the selection of RFK Jr. as HHS secretary was the one factor that made Trump less palatable for agriculture and free trade than his opponent.

There have now been three election cycles where the winner of the presidential contest has taken an anti-free trade stance, Roberts said, even as free trade policies have improved the economic lot of millions around the world and opened new markets for farmers.

Roberts said he suspects Kennedy could struggle to gain Senate support. If he gets it, he may struggle to remain in the 47th president’s good graces. 

“Kennedy will probably end up opening his mouth, making the president angry, and he’ll get jettisoned before he can do anything terribly permanent,” Roberts said.

Hope on antitrust

But Larew said he has hope in other areas, in spite of the concerns about people like Kennedy or Musk.

He believes that Gail Slater, who has been selected to serve as a top Trump adviser on antitrust issues, takes consolidation seriously. 

With antitrust enforcement – a top priority for Farmers Union, which is part of a five-year ongoing legal battle over beef industry consolidation – Larew expects his organization to appeal to Slater on areas affecting agriculture.

He described Brooke Rollins, the incoming president’s choice for agriculture secretary, as a blank slate. Rollins was an adviser to Trump in his first term, and is currently CEO of an organization called the America First Policy Institute.

“I meet at least every couple of weeks with the heads of a lot of other farm and ag organizations,” Larew said. “Even within that big space, nobody knew who she was.”

As far as the farm bill goes, Larew said there is growing fatigue about the topic. 

The bill, which includes crop insurance money and a host of other programs for farmers and food assistance for needy families, stalled this year after a series of fits and starts in both chambers of Congress. 

At this point, he said, he doesn’t see an immediate end to the logjam.

“I wish I had some hope to offer on that,” Larew said.

Garretson JV & C team action

 by Tad Heitkamp, coach

Garretson JV/C splits with Canton

On December 17th, 2024, the Blue Dragons C/JV traveled down to Canton to take on the C-Hawks. The C Team took the floor first and battled the entire game, but came up a little short falling to the home town C-Hawks 45-40. The Blue Dragons put themselves in a hole the opening quarter falling behind 18-8, but clawed their way back within 3 points by the end of the 3rd stanza. 

“We started off slow the opening quarter, but never gave up and worked hard to make things interesting at the end. We did have a couple of chances to take the lead late, but some missed opportunities on both ends of the court kept us out of the win column,” said Coach Heitkamp. “The kids did a lot of nice things, but what we as coaches truly appreciate…they never quit and battled the entire four quarters.” 

Shea Smidt and Ethan McGregor had the hot hands for the Blue Dragons as they collected 10 and 8 points, while Cade Risty knocked down 6 points of his own. Jackson Collins, Myles Hanson, and Isaiah Coburn all had 4 points, as Cooper Smith and Connor Smith rounded out the scoring with 2 points each.

The JV Team took the court next and got the Blue Dragons back into the win column as they took down the C-Hawks 54-38. The Blue Dragons utilized hard nose defense and solid execution of their offensive sets to secure their second win of the season. 

“This was a great win for us early in the season,” stated Heitkamp. “Canton has always been a tough environment to play in, so any time we can walk out of there with a victory…it’s a good day.” 

Colton Buchholz was the games leading scorer as he scorched the nets for 22 points (w/18 points being scored in the 2nd half). Ethan McGregor and Shea Smidt each added 9 points, while Jackson Arend netted 6 points of his own. Isaiah Coburn and Michael Hanisch both finished the evening with 4 points.

Garretson Takes One of Two Against the Mustangs

On December 20th, 2024, the Blue Dragons C/JV played host to the Mustangs of Tri Valley. In the opening game of the day the young Blue Dragons fell a little short has they were taken down 41-21 by Tri Valley. The Mustangs came out of the locker firing on all cylinders as they took a commanding 13-4 lead after the 1st quarter and never looked back. 

“We came out a little flat offensively and that was ultimately the deciding factor tonight,” mentioned Heitkamp. “We got some decent looks at the hoop, but we just weren’t able to convert. I was pleased with our defensive effort…we just need to be able to get the ball through the hoop on a consistent basis to compete at the end.” 

Shea Smidt had a nice game for the Blue Dragons hitting for 9 points (all 3-pointers), while Ethan McGregor and Isaiah Coburn collected 4 and 3 points each. Cooper Smith and Connor Smith dropped down 2 points each, as Cade Risty rounded things out with 1 point respectively. 

In the second game of the night the Blue Dragons took out a little frustration on Tri Valley as they dismantled the Mustangs 42-27. 

The Blue Dragons stepped out on to the court and shot lights out the opening half as they took a 30-10 lead into the half. Tri Valley wasn’t able to get much going all night offensively, because the hometown Blue Dragons displayed suffocating defense for the entire 24 minutes. 

“I wasn’t sure how the kids would respond after the 1st game, but we had a short memory and came out and played like I know we are capable of,” stated Heitkamp. “We talked about taking back the momentum…and that’s exactly what we did.” 

Colton Buchholz and Jackson Arend both had another solid night as they dropped in 13 and 11 points each, while Shea Smidt added 8 more points. Ethan McGregor had a solid outing with 6 points, as Michael Hanisch and Cade Risty finished the night with 2 points apiece.
