AGREEMENT
Amber Gibson with the Southeastern Council of Governments (SECOG) presented the 2012 Sioux Falls Area Transportation Planning Process Agreement in accordance with the 2012 Sioux Falls Metropolitan Planning Organization's Unified Planning Work Program. The agreement provides for $60,000 in federal funding to the county for transportation planning activities in 2012. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Heiberger to authorize the Chairman to sign the agreement between SECOG and Minnehaha County for Accomplishing the Sioux Falls Area Transportation Planning Process and the Certification for Grants, Loans, and Cooperative Agreements. 4 ayes. Commissioner Barth commented on federal legislation now being discussed in the Banking Committee that would eliminate metro statistical areas fewer than 250,000 in population. If passed, this legislation would result in Minnehaha County and all of South Dakota being ineligible for federal funds related to road improvement. Ms. Gibson stated she will continue to keep the county informed on this issue. Commissioner Barth also commented on safety concerns about the bus stop on Russell Street by the work release center. Ms. Gibson stated we will have to continue to work with the City of Sioux Falls on this issue as they develop the design for the expansion of Russell Street.
DRAINAGE
Dustin Powers, Planner, reported on drainage work that planning staff witnessed being done on property owned by Tom & Cynthia Monnin. Staff worked with Mr. Monnin to expedite the permitting process so the drainage work could commence while the weather would still permit it. On December 1, 2011, Mr. Monnin submitted waivers and information needed to obtain a drainage permit. Mr. Monnin informed staff that the work had already been completed. Planning staff informed him a $500 fee would be added to the $25 drainage permit since the work commenced prior to obtaining the drainage permit. Mr. Monnin was present to appeal the Administrative Official's decision to impose the additional charge. Mr. Monnin stated he was working with the NRCS to get their approval to do the drainage work when they informed him that he would need to get a drainage permit from the county. He then went to the county to apply for a drainage permit and believed he was working within the direction from the county to obtain the necessary waivers for a permit. He was not aware of the additional $500 fee until after he had submitted the required paperwork. Commissioner Barth stated the Planning Department followed county ordinance by imposing the additional fee however; he believes Mr. Monnin acted in good faith by working with the NRCS and the County Planning Department to obtain the drainage permit. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Kelly to reverse the Administrative Official's decision to require Mr. Monnin to pay the additional $500 fee and only require a $25 permit fee. 4 ayes.

BUDGET
Tracy Smith, Public Defender Director, requested authorization to use personnel cost savings to meet the year-end deficit in operational costs in the 2011 Public Defender Budget.
