II. Pledge of Allegiance
III. Minutes
A. September 8, 2009 - Regular Meeting
Motion by Grovenburg to approve minutes. Seconded by Testerman. Motion carried, 7-0.
IV. Visitors to Be Heard
William Huntimer of 509 W. 9th Street presented his concerns about out-of-state peddlers permitted to operate in Dell Rapids. City Attorney Hammer suggested that the City might adjust permit fees to address this situation. A policy comparison with other cities was also proposed. No action was taken.
V. PUBLIC HEARING
A. 2nd Reading, Ordinance #729, 2010 Appropriations Ordinance for the City of Dell Rapids - City administrator Martin reported changes in the 2010 Appropriations Ordinance based on City Council deliberations at the Sept. 8 meeting. Revisions to revenues and expenditures show the General Fund budget at $2,671,037 for the fiscal year that starts Jan. 1, 2010. Council member Woolf inquired about the deletion of a $1,000,000 transfer from reserve for fire station construction. Martin reviewed the Council's previous direction to remove the transfer until such time that a possible Homeland Security grant award is announced. The City Council still intends to build a new fire station in 2010, barring major complications. Council member Downs asked about the City's strategy for a more ambitious street maintenance plan. Public Works Director Schildhauer described several locations that will need resurfacing. Mayor Fiegen observed that many streets also have older water and sewer lines that will need to be replaced. Council president Sommerfeld noted that a greater investment in streets and utility infrastructure may require additional funding sources beyond the sales tax revenues that are now being used. Sommerfeld followed with questions about capital expenditures for building maintenance and City parks. The City Council noted that the 2010 budget reflects an increase of 4% in water and wastewater rates to offset announced increases in operating expenses. Motion by Sommerfeld to approve 2nd Reading of Ordinance #729 as follows:

VII. City Administrator Report
• Senator Johnson's office reports that the $500,000 earmark for expanding the Carnegie Library has passed the Senate subcommittee but still needs to clear additional hurdles in Congress before it is approved within the 2010 Congressional budget.
• Dell Rapids sales tax revenue in August was $67,058.55, compared to $73,147.06 in 2008. Through 2/3 of the year, the City is $28,000 behind 2008 sales tax totals and $36,000 behind 2007 totals. The City is $36,000 ahead of sales tax totals through August of 2006.
• The City engineering firm, DGR, has been revising project expenses for the Lift Station project to reflect unanticipated obstacles in the underground construction. The City staff has been advised that the proposed change order will still be less than the second lowest bid disclosed when the project was bid out. DGR has also been negotiating an expansion of the Fairway Drive resurfacing project to take advantage of favorable material costs.
• Martin asked the Council to consider revisiting the merit pay plan that was put on indefinite hold earlier this year. Discussion followed on determining revenues and expenditures for 2009 that might allow for a return to an appropriate merit policy.
