SUMMONS
HABIBA H. ALI,
Plaintiff,
v.
ISJANAK GIZAW BAROW,
Defendant.
TO THE ABOVE NAMED DEFENDANT:
YOU ARE HEREBY SUMMONED and required to serve upon Plaintiffs attorney an Answer to the Complaint which is herewith served upon you within thirty (30) days after service of this Summons upon you, exclusive of the date of such service. If you fail to do so, Judgment to Default will be taken against you as requested in the Complaint for Divorce, after sixty (60) days have elapsed from the service of this Summons and Complaint upon you.
NOTICE:
South Dakota Law Provides that upon the filing of a Complaint for divorce or separate maintenance and upon personal service of the Complaint and Summons on the Defendant, a Temporary Restraining Order shall be in effect against both parties until the final Decree is entered, the Complaint is dismissed, or until further Order of the Court. Either party may apply to the Court for further temporary orders, modification or revocation of the Order.
TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
BY ORDER OF THE COURT, YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE ARE:
1. Restrained from transferring, encumbering, concealing or any way dissipating or disposing of any marital assets, without the written consent of the other party or an Order of the Court, except as may be necessary in the usual course of business or for the necessities of life. You are to notify the other party of any proposed extraordinary expenditures and to account to the Court for all extraordinary expenditures made after the Temporary Restraining Order is in effect;
2. Restrained from molesting or disturbing the peace of the other party; and
3. Restrained from removing any minor child of the parties from the state without the written consent of the other party or an Order of the Court.
STANDARD GUIDELINES AND CUSTODY OF MINOR CHILD(REN)
Pursuant to SDCL §25-4A-11, upon the filing of a summons and complaint for divorce or separate maintenance or any other custody action or proceeding, the plaintiff shall also file and serve upon the defendant a copy of the standard guidelines. The standard guidelines attached to the summons shall become an order of the court upon fulfillment of the requirements of service. Any minor child of the marriage shall remain in the custody of the parent who has been the primary caregiver for the minor child for the majority of the time in the twelve months preceding the filing of the summons and complaint, unless the parties agree otherwise. The standard guidelines shall apply and continue in effect, unless the parties agree, or the court orders otherwise. Imposition of the standard guidelines creates no presumption as to who shall be awarded custody at any hearing.

DRAINAGE
Pursuant to deferral on 11/3/09, Phil Kappen, Assistant Planning Director, was present to consider drainage permit applications 09-149 and 09-150. He explained that the applicant, Vern McAreavey, has applied for permits to keep drain tile that was already installed on his property in Sections 17 and 20 of Clear Lake Township, but in excess of what was permitted. Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, explained that the commission action today would be to approve or deny the permits for this work, which exceeds the scope of permits initially granted to this applicant. Other procedures are available for persons who feel they have been wronged through a drainage situation. Mr. Swanson commented that whether the applicant deliberately installed more tile than indicated is debatable. He urged the Commissioners to act on the merits of the applications, and not merely deny them automatically because the scope of the drainage work had exceeded the original permits. He advised them that they do still have the discretion to either approve or deny the applications. Commissioner Barth stated that he has toured the area where the drainage tile was installed and that he was not certain that all the flooding has happened since this tile was put in, noting the wet summer, and past wet seasons. Commissioner Kelly did not believe the work in excess was done intentionally, but acknowledged that there were interpretation gaps and was reluctant to have the applicant pull the tile based on that. Commissioner Barth was reluctant to make a decision based on what is seen on paper and believed the situation should be looked at on the ground. Commissioner Pekas commented on photos shown last week from 1937, during a time of drought showing one of the lakes as totally dry. From that time forward, the lakes began filling as two lakes and have now turned into one due to water draining into it for quite some time. The drainage tile may have accelerated that. Last week, the McAreaveys acknowledged that there was a misunderstanding in the application process, that they gave only general information on the projects, and that the work exceeded the expectations given to the Planning department. MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Hajek to deny drainage permit 09-149 and 09-150 because more tile than staff envisioned was installed thus possibly increasing the scope of the drainage and the speed with which the drainage would occur. 3 ayes, Barth and Kelly - nay.
OLD BUSINESS
Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, gave an update on a proposed sidewalk for Fred Assam School. He explained that county staff, along with representatives of the school and Pine Lake Hills subdivision, are working towards a resolution. The school and homeowners will need to work out securing right-of-ways from those property owners that the path will cross.
Commissioner Barth announced that the city of Sioux Falls will place a material on Klein Avenue in Klein Subdivsion to improve the road surface and will plow that street during the winter.
MOTION Barth, seconded by Kelly to adjourn into Executive Session for contract negotiation. 5 ayes. Following the Executive Session, the Commission adjourned until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 16, 2009.
