Alderwoman Clark addressed the distance requirement for a commercial kennel in relation to other properties, which was revised at public hearings through both the Planning & Zoning Commission and City Council.

A roll call vote showed Clark, David, Parliament aye; Fish, Jorgenson nay. Motion failed. Requires a 2/3 vote of the members (4 of 6).
Alderman Parliament moved Alderwoman Clark seconded to remand back to the Planning & Zoning Commission with direction to consider adding a footage requirement to the conditions. Alderwoman Clark asked how many complaints it would take to revoke a Conditional Use permit? City Administrator Bryan Read discussed City Ordinance #15-21-3 Permit Revocation. A roll call vote showed Clark, David, Parliament aye; Fish, Jorgenson nay. Motion failed. The appeal of the Conditional Use permit, therefore, is denied.

2021 MINNEHAHA COUNTY EMS UPDATE
Dr. Jeff Luther, Rural Ambulance Quality Assurance Director, provided an overview of 2021 EMS trends and the ongoing effects of COVID on the EMS systems within Minnehaha County. The trends include staffing and reimbursement. Volunteerism is down and there is a great deal of wage pressure for paid staff, but all of the county services managed to staff adequately throughout the year. Reimbursement remains an issue in EMS as the rates vary but never approach 100%. EMS providers are still dealing with the ongoing effects of COVID-19, which can be significant in terms of staffing, especially when call volume peaks while staff are out sick. The overall call volume across the County was very flat from 2020 to 2021, with Humboldt and MedStar both seeing a slight decrease in overall volume, while Dell Rapids, Garretson and PCEMS saw slight increases. Dr. Luther went on to present the EMS report from October 1 to December 31, 2021.
FACILITIES DEPARTMENT PERSONNEL CHANGES
Carey Deaver, Human Resources Director, presented a request to approve two changes in the facilities: 1) to convert two vacant custodian positions (pay grade 7) to a Senior Building Facilities Maintenance Technician (pay grade 16) effective 2/22/2022, and 2) to reclassify a vacant Building Facilities Maintenance Technician (pay grade 14) to a Senior Building Facilities Maintenance Technician (pay grade 16) effective 4/2/2022.

AGREEMENTS

The purpose of the new Joint Powers Agreement is two-fold: to agree to terminate the July 6, 1998, agreement, and to identify the roles and responsibilities of the segments of this corridor located inside the city limits and outside the city limits. This serves to memorialize and formalize our mutual understandings of jurisdiction and maintenance responsibilities going forward. Currently, the divide between the city’s and the county’s jurisdiction is 15th Street.

AGREEMENT

The agreement provides that McCook County is responsible for performing ordinary gravel roadway maintenance, snow removal, and ditch mowing. Minnehaha County will be responsible for everything else including weed control, providing and installing new gravel as needed, and reimbursing McCook County for their labor and equipment expenses. MOTION by Bender, seconded by Beninga, to authorize the Chair to sign an agreement between Minnehaha County and McCook County for two miles of HWY 140 (263rd Street). By roll call vote: 5 ayes.
PRESENTATIONS
Scott Anderson, Planning Director, presented the annual presentation for the planning department. There was significant development activity in Minnehaha County throughout 2021 with 504 building permits and almost 700 project submittals. The building inspection division performed nearly 1,300 building inspections and over 150 septic inspections. In 2021, staff worked with a total of 45 zoning complaints which included 11 complaints that were carried over from 2020 with 6 properties being declared a public nuisance by the County Commission. Minnehaha County Parks saw a return to more normal usage following COVID-19 limited usage in 2020. A new 9-hole disk golf course was installed in 2021 and will open to the public this spring. The 5-year lease that we have with the Girl Scouts to occupy and use a portion of Wall Lake expires on December 31, 2022, and a new lease will have to be approve this year or early next year.
Chris Lilla, Director of Equalization, provided an annual presentation for the Equalization Department. The presentation highlighted the following: programs that are managed by the office along with some of the statistics for the 2022 assessment year. Some of the statistics for the 2022 assessment year include 9,017 property transfers, 7,724 new building permits, 47 new exempt applications, 655 continuing exempt property applications, over 2,000 new owner-occupied applications, 1,196 new parcels, and 148 abatements. The change in the assessment value of the property does not equal the change in the taxes paid by the property owner.
2022 EQUALIZATION ASSESSMENT NOTICE CHANGES
Chris Lilla, Director of Equalization, provided a briefing on the 2022 equalization assessment notice changes. The main items that were completed prior to the market analysis to determine the adjustments that were needed: new cost tables were adopted for residential and commercial improvements; equalized small town and township land methods and values; in lieu of physical view, a desk top grade review was performed; a few neighborhood boundaries were adjusted from previous years to ensure equalization was maximized and commercial building model was developed, analyzed and implemented. At the end of the 2021 assessment year, our ending level of assessment county wide was at 90.5%, while during the start of the 2022 market analysis, our beginning level of assessment was at 76.5%. Once the various types of levels were analyzed, the 2022 assessment notices for the ending County wide level of assessment is 90.0% and the level of assessment needs to be between 85% to 100%.
1900 W RUSSELL ST DEMOLITION QUOTES
Tyler Klatt, Assistant Commission Administrative Officer, reviewed the quotes obtained for the demolition of 1900 W Russell St. As part of the auction process and in order to comply with the requirements of the American Rescue Plan Act, it was requested by the Minnehaha County Building Committee to obtain quotes for the demolition of the existing structure.

The quote from Friessen Construction includes a base bid total of $194,400 with the opportunity for additional services for a total up to $243,736.
