JD Bormann, Parkston Area Development Corporation President, addressed the council requesting funding for 2015. Bormann updated the council on the projects completed in 2014 as well as those in progress for 2015. He informed them that the housing incentive for new homes has been a success and stated that additional funding may be requested in 2016 to continue the program. Motion by Semmler, seconded by Hofer, to approve $10,000 to the Parkston Area Development Corporation, as budgeted. All present voting aye. Motion carried.
Chief of Police, Greg Reichenberg, voiced concerns regarding traffic at the intersection of Walnut and Second Street. He explained that two accidents have happened at that intersection in the past month, and suggested replacing the yield signs on Walnut Street with stop signs. Alderman Henke stated that he feels that speed of traffic coming down Second may also be a factor and suggested the police department monitor the area before changing the signage. The police department was asked to report back at the February meeting.
City engineer, Ryan Murtha, reported that the plans and specifications for the Main Street Railroad Crossing Project have been submitted to the Department of Transportation and is awaiting review comments. It was also reported that the DOT plans on bidding the project, rather than the city. Temporary easements need to be obtained from property owners to allow for proper construction work area and agreements need to be signed to allow the city to remove the side track. Bidding is tentatively scheduled for March 2015.
Motion by Henke, seconded by Semmler, to approve Mike Wolf and Charles McKean to attend Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) training in Mitchell, February 12, 2015, and allow them to use a city vehicle and pay for meals. All present voting aye. Motion carried.
An update on the Southwest Sewer Expansion Project was given by Murtha. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources are reviewing the plans and specifications. Once they are returned a bid date will be set. Also submitted was an updated cost estimate for the councils review. Since the city was unable to obtain a temporary easement from a property owner adjacent to the project, the location of the sanitary sewer pipe had to be relocated in order for the contractor to have sufficient construction work area. Said change in plans added an estimated $20,000 to the project. It was reported that that Senator Bill VanGerpen is pursuing $75,000 in additional funding through the state for this project. He informed the city that he is contemplating several funding sources and stated that city representatives may be asked to attend hearings in Pierre to explain the project and the need for funding.
It was reported that the city has been awarded $27,750 from the Land Water and Conservation Fund for new playground equipment in the East Park. A park committee meeting will be scheduled to discuss specifics of the project. Volunteers will also be needed to help assemble the equipment.
Motion by Hofer, seconded by Henke, to approve the 2015 garbage hauling license applications in favor of Weber Sanitation and Petrik Sanitation. All present voting aye. Motion carried.
Motion by Semmler, seconded by Murtha, to approve David Hoffman, Ken Henke, and Brenda Huether as authorized signers on the city’s checking account. All present voting aye. Motion carried.
Mayor Hoffman explained that the maintenance is needed in the back of the library building. It was also stated that since the rear access to the building exits to property not owned by the city, relocating the door to the south should also be considered at this time. Discussion was also held regarding the handicap access in the front of the building. Motion by Murtha, seconded by Hofer, to obtain quotes from local contractors for all items discussed and report back to the council. All present voting aye. Motion carried. $10,000 has been budgeted for the aforementioned maintenance.
Motion by Semmler, seconded by Henke, to hire Jordan Helma as a snow truck driver and set his hourly wage at $12.00/hour retroactive to December 22nd, 2014. All present voting aye. Motion carried.
Motion by Hofer, seconded by Murtha, to approve Resolution No. 15-547. All present voting aye. Motion carried.
