VIII. City Administrator Report
• The City’s traditional leaf drop program can begin Oct. 6. Public Works Director Schildhauer says he is prepared to accept fallen leaves at the customary sight where Christmas trees have been accepted. Residents should not abuse this privilege by depositing anything other than leaves.
• Martin reported that approximately 90 locations nationwide have received fire station construction grants through the Homeland Security stimulus grant. $63 million remain in the program, and as yet no fire departments in Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, South Dakota, or North Dakota have received awards. Later announcements are anticipated by the end of the year.
• Martin reviewed the options at 3rd and Clarke for improving a drainage situation at that corner. City crews have prepped that area for the possibility of hard surfacing. Martin explained that the City staff has exercised its latitude in regard to the drainage options, but that the City Council may need to determine if this area should be improved for additional parking in the Central Business district. City Engineer Mayer estimated that the improvement can be done for less than $2,500. The Council directed the staff to proceed.
• John Clarke of County Fair food store is still interested in relocating and expanding his store in Dell Rapids if a suitable financial strategy can be agreed upon. Martin and City Attorney Hammer spoke with Clarke this week in City Hall.

LIEN
Commissioner Barth, County Aid Lien Liaison, briefed the Commission on a request to compromise DPNO 47467. He explained that the applicant reported that the majority of the lien balance was for services provided to his ex-wife during a period when the couple was separated prior to their divorce in 2003. One charge, filed in 2008, is also for services provided to the applicant's ex-wife after their divorce. The applicant is requesting that the balance, during the time of separation, be split equally between him and his ex-wife and that the 2008 services and her half be moved to her account. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Hajek to remove $93.43 from DPNO 47467 and place it under DPNO 1978. SUBSTITUTE MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Twedt to release the applicant upon payment of $622.85 (half of the balance prior to the divorce) and move $716.27 to DPNO 1978. Commissioner Twedt noted that the applicant may not have had any prior knowledge of the services provided to his ex-wife until now. Commissioner Pekas noted that a copy of the divorce decree and stipulation were not included with the application and that it is unknown if either party agreed to pay the lien as part of the divorce.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Bob Kolbe, former commissioner, commented on an interview Commissioner Barth gave to local media regarding the Sioux Empire Fair.
POLICY
On 9/29/09, Sue Roust, Auditor, briefed the Commission on a proposed grants policy to help standardize procedures for handling grants, ensure that the Commission is informed of grant opportunities and their outcome, and assist with required reporting. One change was suggested at last week's meeting and incorporated into the policy requiring department heads and outside agencies to notify the Commission when they intend to apply or receive notification of a grant. Ms. Roust noted that the policy may need to be amended later because of the diversity in grant opportunities. MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Barth to approve the Grants Policy. 5 ayes. Ms. Roust also reported that on 2/17/09, the Commission entered into an agreement to sponsor an application for the Safe Havens Supervised Visitation and Safe Exchange Grant on behalf of the Family Visitation Center. Notice has been received that the grant application was not approved.
HAVA
Sue Roust, Auditor, reported that the County has been receiving funds from the state as part of the Help America Vote Act of 2002. Counties are required to provide a 5% match. In July, the Commission voted to create a fund balance reserve for use only for HAVA expenses. A recent audit on the use of HAVA funds found that recipients should be tracking and reporting interest on the match money. Because of the minimal amount, an agreement was made to allow each county to set aside an additional $10 for any interest earned in 2008 and 2009. MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Kelly to increase the General Fund Reserve for Election Expenses (HAVA) from $398.73 to $408.73. 5 ayes.
SUPPLEMENT
MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Barth to supplement $216,667 from the General Fund to the Sioux Empire Fair budget (ASN 22000) representing reimbursement for an unanticipated expenditure (5/09 loan to the Fair Association). 5 ayes.

Mr. DeYoung also presented the 2010 State and Local Agreement. The agreement provides a 50/50 grant amount to be used to support salary and administrative expenses of Emergency Management.

Capt. Niedringhaus reported that the program has brought in several tips and is proving to be a success. The number of warrants served between 9/14/09 and 9/30/09 is up from the same period last year. Commissioner Twedt asked if a quarterly update could be provided on this program.
MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Barth to approve the following supplements from the General Fund to the Sheriff's budget: $664.01 (ASN 16577) Domestic Violence Grant reimbursement, $24,296.54 (ASN 16575) HIDTA Grant reimbursement, $2,015.00 (ASN 16576) DARE donations, and $375.54 (ASN 16580) JTTF reimbursement; and from the JAG Fund to the JAG budget $286,819.00 (ASN 20456) JAG Stimulus reimbursement and $57,995.00 2009 JAG Program. 5 ayes.
