2016.7.95 Faulkton Westside Addition: Trevor Cramer, Faulkton Area Economic Development Director, and Don Petersen, with Morgan Wheeler Law Office, presented the council with information on a Tax Incremental Financing (TIF) project. Petersen stated the FAEDC is asking for a $600,000 TIF. The Development Corporation would use the money to build streets, water/sewer infrastructure and drain the slough in the new Westside Addition. The TIF is a developer TIF, which the FAEDC has already procured a loan with favorable financing. The guarantee is made by the developer (FAEDC) who is responsible for the payments. Petersen stated “Even though the City has no risk of loss, under SD law the City must count the $600,000 TIF against their bonding limit.” Finance Officer, Bauer, was not sure what the City’s bonding limit is at this time. Bauer will determine the bonding limit and let Cramer know. Petersen said if the City’s bonding limit is not able to carry the TIF, they would pursue a different option with the County. After much discussion Councilman Hadrick motioned, seconded by Ramsdell to table the TIF Project Plan and the Covenants and Restrictions.

Unanimous.

Hospital Building Project: Jay Jahnig, Faulkton Area Medical Center Administer, thanked the council for putting him on the agenda, but the FAMC will not be needing to ask to close a street for the addition to the hospital.
2016.7.98 Resolution 2016-4 Court Fine Schedule: Mayor Roseland stated the only change made to the fine schedule was 6-4-4 Allowing Animal to Run/Nuisance. This will allow the sheriff’s department to write a ticket for dogs running and also barking. Motion was made by Councilman Toennies, seconded by Ramsdell, to adopt the following resolution.

2016.7.99 Stop Signs: It was brought to the council’s attention there isn’t a stop sign at the west corner of 9th Avenue and Pearl Street. The council thought with that being a truck route a stop sign should be placed there instead of a yield sign. The Council also wants stop signs to replace the yield signs at the intersection of 9th Avenue and Oak Street. Motion made by Councilman Ramsdell, seconded by Bartholomew to add stop signs to the discussed intersections. Unanimous. No action was taken on the yield sign at 12th Avenue and Park Street.
Park & Swimming Pool: Councilwoman Fischer brought to the council’s attention a couple issues with the park and swimming pool. Fischer stated at the park there is playground equipment that has an opening that needs to be more secure for younger children. Raethz said he will either order a piece or have one made. Fischer also stated the zero entry part of the pool is very slippery and dangerous for both children and adults. Raethz said he would look into a couple different options for next year.
