BRIEFING
Leah Anderson, Auditor, provided a briefing on the recount and post-election audit for the June 4th Primary Election. The recount was held on June 24 and involved the following three races: Republican State Representative District 11, Republican County Commissioner at Large, and Republican Precinct 02-03 Committeeman. The recount board removed three express vote ballots for a missing ballot stamp and included 132 ballots from those that were previously rejected by the precinct board. Public comment was received from Gary Meyer, Jon Cunningham, Reone Ullom, Penny BayBridge, Rick Weible, and Jessica Pollema.
Auditor Anderson reported on the post-election audit that was held on June 25, which was the first post-election audit for the county and state. There was a total of 570 races counted during the post-election audit. The briefing went on to explain the process that was used during the audit as well as the costs associated with the audit which would be reimbursed by the State of South Dakota. A majority of the races in the primary saw the tabulation count and the hand count match exactly, but the following are the races broken down by precinct that show the differences that were found between the tabulation count and the hand count.

The proposed updates reflect previously approved allowance increases for burials, rent and utility assistance limits. In addition, there have been some verbiage updates, changes in residency procedure, and the removal of duplicative medical assistance items. MOTION by Beninga, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Approve Updates to the Human Services Guidelines. 5 ayes.
AGREEMENT
Upon the request of Traci Smith, Public Defender, MOTION by Bender, seconded by Kippley, to Authorize the Public Defender to Sign the Indigent Defense Services Renewal Contract FY 2024-25 with the Unified Judicial Circuit for the Second Circuit Drug Court, DWI Court, Veteran's Court, and Mental Health Court program.

SPECIAL EVENT LIQUOR LICENSES
Kym Christiansen, Commission Recorder, presented an application for a special event on-sale liquor license for Tslat, Inc. d/b/a JJ's Wine, Spirits, & Cigars for a Skate Park Fundraiser/Recognition Event on July 12, 2024. The requested special event license, if granted, will allow the organization to sell liquor to be consumed on site. The application has been reviewed by the Sheriff's Department, State's Attorney's Office, and the Planning Department. The Planning Department recommends denial due to the lack of appropriate zoning at the requested location. If the property owner applies for and obtains a Temporary Use Permit from the Planning Department, the recommended denial would be withdrawn. MOTION by Kippley, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Deny a Special Event On-Sale Liquor License for Tslat, Inc. d/b/a JJ's Wine, Spirits, & Cigars for Skatepark Fundraiser/Recognition Event on July 12, 2024, due to Applicant/Property Owner’s Failure to Obtain a Temporary Use Permit for Proposed Location. By roll call vote: 3 ayes 2 nay-Benigna, Karsky.
Kym Christiansen, Commission Recorder, presented an application for a special event on-sale liquor license for Tslat, Inc. d/b/a JJ's Wine, Spirits, & Cigars for the Harms Wedding on September 14, 2024. The requested special event license, if granted, will allow the organization to sell liquor to be consumed on site. The application has been reviewed by the Sheriff's Department, State's Attorney's Office, and the Planning Department. The Planning Department recommends denial due to the apparent commercial nature of the facility and that such property is not zoned for commercial activity. If the property owners either apply for and receive a Temporary use Permit from the Planning Department or provide documentation that the special event is a family wedding between Harms and the property owner, then the recommended denial would be withdrawn. MOTION by Bender, seconded by Bleyenberg, to Deny a Special Event On-Sale Liquor License for Tslat, Inc. d/b/a JJ's Wine, Spirits, & Cigars for the Harms Wedding on September 14, 2024, due to the Apparent Commercial Nature of the Facility and that such Property is not Zoned for Commercial Activity. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.
FY 2025 BUDGET BRIEFING AND OPT OUT RESOLUTION
Susan Beaman, Finance and Budget Officer, presented a briefing regarding the 2025 budget. The items presented included the five-year forecast that was previously discussed as well as a revised forecast showing an approval of a $1.5 million opt out this year. Based on our five-year forecast, the passage of opt outs will continue to be necessary to maintain current levels of service for our growing county. The Financial Action Network's (FAN) recommends an approach of passing incremental opt outs requests while currently authorized opt out funds are still available. This strategy allows for predictability for taxpayers and prepares the county for the expiration of ARPA. If approved, the new opt out would be available to be levied in 2025 per statute, but budget discussions to date have not identified a need to levy any new opt out until 2026. Public comment was received from Jeff Barth. MOTION by Beninga, seconded by Bender, to Approve Resolution MC24-17 for $2.5 M Opt Out. By roll call vote: 5 ayes.
RESOLUTION MC24-17
RESOLUTION FOR OPT OUT
THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF MINNEHAHA COUNTY do state that the above said board is unable to operate under the property tax limitation measure currently in statute. We therefore OPT OUT of such tax limitation in the amount of $2.5 million starting with calendar year 2024 taxes payable in the calendar year 2025. This opt-out will be for 25 years, which will be through taxes payable in the calendar year 2049. This action has been taken by the board and approved by at least a two-thirds vote of the board.
This decision may be referred to a vote of the people upon a petition signed by at least five percent of the registered voters of the County and filed with the governing body within twenty days of the first publication of this decision.
Unless this action is referred to a vote of the people and reversed by such vote, this resolution authorizes the county auditor to spread an excess levy to raise tax dollars in the above stated amount.
Dated this 2nd day of July, 2024.

PUBLIC COMMENT:
Hanson requested information on the plan for tree removal along 4th street during the 4th Street Improvement Project. Doane advised a public meeting has been scheduled with Sayre Associates and the awarded contractor for Tuesday July 23rd, 2024, 5:30pm at the Legion in Garretson.
COMMITTEE REPORTS:
• Natural Gas Reports – Dreckman advised council PGA number had not been received from Clayton Energy by the time of the meeting.
• Finance – Dreckman presented balances for city finances and advised the council on a letter received from current auditors, Schoenfish & Co Inc, stating they are downsizing operations resulting in Garretson needing to find new auditors. She stated she will be working to find new auditors within the month. No discussion was had.
• Streets/Maintenance/Parks – Doane provided update to council on Natural Gas and the need for mapping. Provided update on results of flooding and DANR allowing Public Works an emergency discharge on the lagoons due to heavy rain fall. Doane advised council on 4th street preconstruction meeting set for Tuesday July 9th and public meeting Tuesday July 23rd at 5:30 at the Legion. Doane has sprayed for mosquitoes twice so far this summer season. Hofer gave parks update on mowing, trimming, and clean up plans. Hofer gave update on camping year to date along with changes needed due to flooding of Split Rock Park. Mentioned exterior lighting added to bathhouse and plans to make better use of north and south ends. Hofer advised Devils Gulch will be open Thursdays through Mondays as staffing is available. Will revisit improvement plans for Devils Gulch cabin at a later date. Hofer gave an update on pool operations with an average attendance of 65 guests and an update on ballfields and working with the ball board. Hofer advised currently 28 open building permits and 2 pending variances and Code Enforcement Officer has been working to make contact with citizens in violation. Council member Beaner asked about mowing the green space on Main and Hofer advised it is being completed by the city staff but arrangements are in the works with the group placing items within the green space to allow for better mowing. Council member Beaner requested the Code Enforcement Office provide a generalized list of violations that have been written for each council meeting. Hofer advised he would work with Code Enforcement. Council member Godbey asked about bringing back “light the park” for the holiday season in December. Hofer advised that as a possibility.
• Minnehaha Co Sheriff – Deputy present gave update. Advised jake breaking being a known issue on highway 11 and would work to watch speeding in town, especially 4th street. Mentioned a successful water rescue at Palisades State Park.
ORDINANCES & RESOLUTIONS:
• Ordinance 696 – Repealing “Guns in Parks” Ordinance No. 525 – Council member Beaner proposed repealing ordinance based on there being no exemption for law enforcement resulting in an ordinance violation and SDCL 9-19-20 and read a portion of first sentence of the SDCL item. Council member Beaner also referred to constitutional aspect of an attempt at restricting firearms use. Council member Beaner advised he would like “citizens to be able to exercise their second amendment rights and have the ability to defend themselves while in city parks”. Dreckman requested Council member Beaner to read entirety of SDCL 9-19-20 and Council member Beaner recited entire SDCL item and advised sections listed “or” being cited rather than “and” through the SDCL item. Dreckman requested City Attorney Meredith Moore for possibly repercussions if council was to repeal the current ordinance. Moore advised of exceptions of disallowing firearms in certain public places and SD state park laws for firearms and recommended revisiting the existing ordinance and section it is included along with revisiting state and federal statutes. Moore recommended having more discussion on current ordinance and possibility for amending rather than repealing before taking action and reasons for revisiting. Council member Beaner advised this is first reading and no action would be taken until action would be taken, leaving time to revisit. Dreckman advised changes cannot be made between a first and second reading of an ordinance and a new first reading would need to take place if changes are needing to be made. Moore did confirm this process. Mayor Brown advised the ordinance as written would not merit a second reading and more discussion would be needed. Council member Beaner motioned to schedule second reading of ordinance as presented at the next regular city council meeting. Council member Godbey seconded the motion and Mayor Brown requested a roll call vote. Kientopf nay, Beaner aye, Rotert nay, Godbey aye, Bonte absent, Story aye. Motion passed to hold second reading as written during next regular council meeting.
• Ordinance 697 – Real Property Exemption-City Branch Pile – Council member Beaner proposed ordinance to exempt the branch pile from burning within city limits and nuisance ordinances so the branch pile could still be burned and continue operations as usual with plans to annex this property into city limits. Council member Rotert requested clarification on county versus city as the city owns the property, but it is currently outside of city limits. Council member Beaner confirmed the city does own the property, but the county has jurisdiction as it is outside of city limits. Hofer asked council member Beaner reason for wanting to annex beyond 254th street. Council member Beaner went over annexation procedures as he understood and advised if a current landowner beyond 254th street would want to be annexed into city limits they would not be able to as it must be contiguous to current city limits. Council member Beaner asked time limit between first and second reading of an ordinance. Dreckman advised there must be at least 5 days between readings. Council member Beaner motioned to table proposed ordinance until the city branch pile is annexed into city property as a city has no jurisdiction over property that is not within city limits. Council member Rotert seconded the motion and Mayor Brown requested council vote. 5 ayes 0 nays 1 absent. Motion passed.
• Resolution 2024-20 – High School Advisory Committee – Mayor Brown advised of resolution to allow for school administrators and teachers to allow for two students that are selected to participate in city council meetings. The students selected would not be allowed to vote or take part in executive sessions but would be able to work with city council and bring a perspective of the next generation. Council member Beaner had concerns with the school administration making the decision on the students that would partake. Mayor Brown advised he worked with the school and spoke with council member Kientopf on the possibility of students making the decision. Council member Beaner stated he would prefer the resolution be worded to allow for the student body to make the decision rather than the school administration to avoid choosing favorites. Mayor Brown requested Moore’s input. Moore advised council of other cities that are doing something similar and the opportunity to modify resolution depending on the process would go and ensure equal opportunity. Council member Beaner requested if there would be a liability issue and Moore advised of possibility of waivers or consent forms. Council member Beaner brought up concerns with the first amendment and kids being governed over the school’s code of conduct. Moore advised students would not be involved with the actions taking place in the city council meeting and would only be able to provide comments as anyone in the public would. Council member Beaner asked if moving forward would affect the rules of order and motions taken. Moore advised it would not as the students are not city council members and purely an advisory council. Council member Rotert mentioned making this a rotation of different students to participate throughout the year. Council members discussed more on what they would like the process to look like. Council member Rotert motioned to approve the resolution as presented with a second from council member Kientopf. Mayor Brown requested for any additional comments or questions. There were none. Mayor Brown requested a roll call vote. Kientopf aye, Beaner nay, Rotert aye, Godbey aye, Bonte absent, Story aye. Motion passed.
