Highway: Motion by Street and seconded by Stengel to approve resolution 2021-19 to apply for an Agri Business Grant for CR 18, the two miles into LaBolt from State Hwy 15. Supt Schultz stated the application is for a three-inch overlay. If the road would be rebuilt it would cost approximately 1 million dollars to widen and strengthen the road. County funds will be used to replace the culverts. A three-inch overlay will increase the strength of a road. There are approximately 40 applications for grants currently vying for limited funds. We can apply again if we don’t receive funding this time around. Since CR 18 is rough right now but not breaking up, Kerwin suggested working on CR 18 the following year using County funds for the overlay if the grant is not approved. No further discussion. The Chairman called for a vote. Motion carried 5-0. Resolution adopted.

A Resolution to Apply for an Agri Business Grant

Resolution 2021-19

WHEREAS it is the desire of Grant County to upgrade 161st Street to better serve the LaBolt area businesses including the local elevator; and

WHEREAS Grant County agrees to provide a minimum of 20% local match for street construction costs, plus pay all engineering and administrative costs associated with said project; and

WHEREAS Grant County will secure the required right-of-way for the construction of the project; and

WHEREAS Grant County agrees to maintain the street for its useful life.

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Grant County Commission duly approves the submission of a SD Department of Transportation Agri-Business Grant application requesting up to 80% of the eligible street construction costs for the project as submitted by the Chairperson of the Grant County Commission on behalf of Grant County.

THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Chairperson of the Grant County Commission be authorized to execute the grant application on behalf of Grant County.

THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, the Chairperson of Grant County be  authorized as the certifying officer to sign all required pay requests, correspondence and other documents for the proposed project on behalf of Grant County.

Adopted and effective this 16th day of July, 2021.

ATTEST:

Karen M. Layher

Grant County Auditor

Motion by Mach and seconded by Stengel to approve the Preliminary Engineering Bridge Plan application for bridge 26-310-177 through the BIG program. This is one of the last bridges on the recommended replacement list. The Commission discussed whether to keep or remove the bridge from the program. Supt Schultz said the county crew has built bridges this size and it possibly could be completed sooner if done by the county. However, he said water jumps out and runs over the road there and with the Grant there would be a better in-depth hydrological study completed. The additional cost for budget purposes would be a concern. The Chairman called for the vote. Motion carried 4-1 with Street voting nay.

ATTEST: Karen M. Layher County Auditor Culvert: Motion by Mach and seconded by Stengel to provide Madison Township with a culvert to be installed between sections 32 & 33 with the township paying for the installation.  No further discussion. Motion carried 5-0.

Agreement: The SD DOT sent an amendment to extend the date of Agreement 716881 for the expenditure of the $584,985 bridge repair funds to December 31, 2025. Supt Schultz said the money will be spent by this year, but the Commission should approve the amendment as requested by DOT.

BIDS FOR FUEL

06/03, UPI, 2.44 (Diesel #2); Cenex,2.45 (Diesel #2); UPI was the low bidder for Diesel at 2.44.

06/14, UPI, 2.629 Ethanol), 2.49 (Diesel #2); Cenex, 2.55 (Ethanol), 2.43 (Diesel #2); Cenex was the low bidder for Ethanol at 2.55 and for Diesel at 2.43.

06/22, UPI, 2.44 (Diesel #2); Cenex, 2.45 (Diesel #2); UPI was the low bidder for Diesel at 2.44.

4-H Building Project: Present for the 9 AM bid opening of the 4-H Static Building were Eric Ward from WS Construction Management, Larry Holton and Lundee Stadtler from Holton Engineering and 4-H Advisor Sara Koepke. One bid was received and opened from WS Construction Management, LLC of Sioux Falls. The bid for materials and construction of the building submitted was $1,689,458.86. Bid Alternate #1 (for foam insulation) submitted in the amount of $17,351.14. Bid Alternate #2 (for sidewalk concrete) in the amount of $24,682.90. The bid is good for 30 days.  The lump sum bid includes blanket insulation. The foam insulation option would provide a better R rating. The additional concrete would be for sidewalks.  Building could start this fall as the contractor would like to get started on concrete work now, with a projected completion date of July 2022.  The biggest problem will be getting the building supplies. WS Construction would be the General Contractor and would hire the sub-contractors. 4-H Advisor Sara Koepke stated that since Achievement days is Aug. 2-4 the building site would not be available until after those dates. The current building will need to be declared surplus. Larry Holton of Holton Engineering stated he will prepare a Notice of Award of Bid. The Commissioners can decide if they want any of the alternate bids. They would need to accept the materials and construction bid as submitted.  Auditor Layher asked if the new building would have eves and eve spouts. Larry said buildings of this size/type don’t get eve spouts, but snow load bars would be installed on the roof.  Larry Holton stated his contract includes them being on site multiple times during construction. Chairman Tostenson asked Sara to email copies of the drawings to the Commissioners. Motion by Mach and seconded by Buttke to table the decision of the bid to the Aug. 3 meeting and to add to the agenda the surplus of the current 4-H building. No further discussion. The Chairman called for a vote. Motion carried 5-0.

4-H: Sara reported that Achievement days is two weeks away. With the success of the free will donation for the Malt Wagon they have decided not to sell tickets for the BBQ, there will be a free will donation instead. Sara said they have changed the schedule for some of the livestock events. The round robin event will be on Tuesday. The Youth In Action day held Tuesday, July 13 was the biggest participation ever and the kids had a great day. Grant County has seven youth attending the State Horse Show, July 19-21 in Huron at the Fairgrounds. 

As of the end of the enrollment period in May there were 180 kids enrolled in Grant County 4-H. Sara is excited about the 22 Rifle being added to the Shooting Sports program with the help of the members of the Whetstone Trap Range and 4-H Shooting Sports volunteers. A berm will be built on the Whetstone Trap Range.

DOE: Kathy Steinlicht presented the Commission with a pamphlet from the SD Department of Revenue regarding the Productivity Valuation for 2022 Assessment Year and an explanation of the productivity worksheet. Cropland value stayed the same at 3047.53, Non-cropland went up to 1802.05 (an increase of 62.60). Non-cropland is based off rental rates. The highest rated soils in Grant County are LA and AA. Every county has different crop and grass soil values because of their lowest & highest rated soil numbers the average per acre is different. Property values are based on soils within the parcel.  

P&Z: Steve Berkner reported two sections within the Zoning Ordinance need to be clarified. The first section is found in Section 1205 Moved in Buildings, item 2 which states: Any residence moved into any use district must have signature by petition of one hundred percent (100%) of the adjoining landowners and one hundred percent (100%) of the landowners within two hundred (200) feet. EXCEPTION: A new residence to be used for first occupancy, constructed off the property and moved to location shall not require adjoining landowners' approval. [Ord. 2004-1] The second section is in Section 251 Manufactured Home under 1 a and b which states:

1. An industrialized building unit constructed on a chassis for towing to the point of use and designed to be used for continuous year-round occupancy as a single dwelling. For the purposes of this ordinance manufactured homes are further defined as follows: 

  a. Type A Manufactured Home shall: vi. The age of the manufactured house may not exceed fifteen (15) years from the date of manufacture. 

  b. Type B Manufactured Home shall:

      iv. The age of the manufactured house may not exceed fifteen (15) years from the date of manufacture. 

Steve stated he had talked with Luke and Todd at First District and had prepared a form for people to sign for the second use of manufactured homes. Auditor Layher said there needs to be clarification within the ordinance for better understanding. Mach questioned whether this was discussed last year. This is the first time this issue has been discussed. The process to change or update an ordinance will take 50/60 days. Chairman Tostenson thanked Steve on behalf of the Commissioners for bringing this issue to their attention. Motion by Mach and seconded by Stengel to send the issue to P&Z to review and to involve Todd & Luke in getting preliminary information together to bring to the August 10 P&Z Meeting, and to ask Todd for a timeline for a joint hearing. Chairman Tostenson called for a roll call vote. Motion carried 5-0. 

Sheriff: Brittany from the Sheriff’s Department was present to discuss the problems with the local radio console that occurred twice this week. A technician from West Central Communications in Willmar was able to fix the problem and restart the communications center. The issue is that Windows Explorer has not been updated since 2012 and it is no longer supported, a new system is needed.  Swift County has recently changed out their old system, a Windows 10 console, which we could purchase for $6,000. An additional $3,000 would be needed for installation. The alternative is a completely new system with a price tag of $100,000. The Sheriff’s 2021 budget cannot handle the cost and would need a contingency budget transfer.  Brittany said Willmar has been great with repairs and is very knowledgeable. They are willing to provide service for the County. A contract will be requested for the Commission’s consideration. Motion by Stengel and seconded by Mach to approve the purchase of the used radio console from Swift County. No further discussion. Chairman Tostenson called for the vote. Motion carried 5-0.  

Detention Center: Toby Morris from Colliers Securities, Corey Johnson with G. A. Johnson Construction and Shawn Harding with HMN Architects joined the meeting via Zoom. Toby discussed with Commissioners the financing of building projects for future consideration of updating the jail facility or building an administrative building for meeting space. Discussion was on whether to absorb the cost into the budget or do a bond. Toby offered two options: The law states the Auditor shall Levy what is needed through a bond or the Commission could consider an opt out. Another option would be to cover part out of the operating budget and levy the rest. There is a possibility the County could use the Recovery Act funds for HVAC projects. Auditor Layher stated that budgets are flat this year and that reserves are already being used to balance the 2022 budget.

First District: Motion by Stengel and seconded by Buttke to adopt the following resolution. Chairman Tostenson called for the vote. Motion carried 5-0.  Resolution adopted.

2021-22
