Business Manager Littel reviewed the new GASB 45 retiree benefit reporting provision.

The cost of an actuarial study would be approximately $7000. Not complying with the requirement will result in an audit comment. The consensus of the board was to not have an actuarial study done at this time.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Bob Kolbe, former commissioner, extended an invitation to the Commission to attend a presentation by Jim Woster on the Sioux Falls Stockyards at the October meeting of the Minnehaha County Historical Society.
UPDATE
Dan Hurd with Dak Renewable Energy Incorporated gave an update on the status of the Buffalo Ridge Ethanol Facility near Sherman, SD. In 2007, the Commission approved Tax Increment District One for the project. Mr. Hurd explained that the project was initially planned for a corn to fuel ethanol plant, but found that this is no longer feasible. They are exploring other potential projects for the area at this time. Commissioner Twedt questioned whether the land use was tied to the TIF, if the TIF could be removed and reinstated later, and if there were tax implications tied to the TIF. Ken McFarland, Commission Administrative Officer, explained that the property valuation has changed since the district was adopted due to a property reclassification. Next year, approximately $9,800 will be available for eligible TIF expenses. However, no TIF eligible expenses exist for 2010. If the TIF stays in existence, a separate revenue fund and TIF budget will need to be established to account for this money. If the TIF is dissolved, the money would be disbursed to the taxing entities. Kyle Helseth, Deputy Director of Equalization, reported that the TIF designation does not determine the property value, land use does. He explained that recent changes in the way ag land is valuated will likely lower the TIF property value. Phil Kappen, Assistant Planning Director, reported that staff believes the TIF designation is tied to the ethanol plant. Commissioners will discuss in the future whether to allow the TIF designation to continue and directed staff to bring them further information.
SUPPLEMENT
MOTION by Barth, seconded by Hajek to supplement the $2,100 from the Pass-through Grants Fund to the Pass-through Grants Budget representing a grant from the Sioux Falls Community Foundation for the Infant Mortality Review Committee. 4 ayes.
OLD BUSINESS
Bob Kolbe, former commissioner, commented on the Buffalo Ridge TIF District.
NEW BUSINESS

Commissioner Twedt commented on the Emergency Operations Center meeting tomorrow to discuss H1N1 clinics. She encouraged using volunteers to fill staffing vacancies. Lynn DeYoung, Emergency Management Director, explained that the operation will change frequently based on the availability of vaccinations.
