REPORT

Mr. Schaefer reported there were no deficiencies noted in internal control which are material weaknesses or significant deficiencies.

That weakness being the County charged indirect administrative support costs in the amount of $27,721.81 to the County Road and Bridge Fund for costs associated with payroll administration, personnel management, and Administrative/ Legal. If the county's intention is to recover indirect costs, the county should establish an internal service fund to account for the actual cost of particular government functions and apply this practice consistently to all departments. There were also immaterial violations of Laws, Rules, and Regulations and Provisions of Contract and Grant Agreements. Those being the County authorized general government expenditures in the amount of $5,619 from the County Road and Bridge fund in violation of SDCL 32-11-2, and the Minnehaha County Housing and Redevelopment Commission/Safe Home Limited Partnership component unit was not reported on the county's financial statements.

WHEREAS, the City of Dell Rapids, South Dakota (the "City") has determined that it is necessary to make certain modifications and improvements to the City's drinking water system (the "System"); and
WHEREAS, in order to pay for a portion of the cost of such improvements, including engineering costs, legal and financing costs, and other related costs, the City Council has determined that it is necessary and advisable for the City to issue and sell the City's Drinking Water Surcharge Revenue Bond in the amount of $897,000 (the "Bond"), and adopted Resolution No. 2012-19 (the "Bond Resolution") to authorize the issuance of the Bond to the South Dakota Conservancy District, acting through the Board of Water and Natural Resources (the "SDCD"), in accordance with a loan agreement to be entered into by the City and the SDCD (the "Loan Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, in order to generate revenues to pay the principal, interest and administrative surcharge on the Bond, the City has proposed to adopt a drinking water surcharge pursuant to SDCL 9 40-15 (the "Surcharge") and to impose such charge on all users benefiting from the System.

1. From and after January 1, 2013, the users of the System will be charged a Surcharge as set forth on the Exhibit A attached hereto. The City Council may, by Ordinance, adjust the amount of the Surcharge (a) if the City Council determines that federal or state assistance allows the City to reduce the principal amount of the Bond, or (b) as necessary to repay Bond principal over a period of 20 years, together with interest thereon at an interest rate of 2.50% per annum, plus an administrative expense surcharge of .50%, and maintain the debt service coverage ratio specified in the Loan Agreement.

The Bond will be payable solely from such segregated revenues, and not from the general revenues of the City, but the City may from time to time advance moneys from its general revenues to make payments on the Bond. Any moneys so advanced must be repaid from Surcharge collections within one year of the date of such advance.
3. This Ordinance will be effective on the 20th day after publication thereof, unless suspended by referendum.
