Where the transcript records a move-and-second but does not record named movers or a roll-call tally, the minutes state the mayor called for aye/oppose and announced the motion carried.

The council did not grant an immediate, blanket fee waiver at the meeting but discussed options and asked staff to assess the type and volume of material and to coordinate possible alternatives.

Council members explained the city already opens the landfill without fees about twice a year (spring and fall) for a limited period and that waivers in the past have been handled case-by-case. They discussed practical concerns: the volume and mixture of materials (wood, plaster, linoleum, concrete, appliances), whether the landfill can accept mixed loads, and the administrative precedent a blanket waiver could create.

Council suggested working with the homeowner to identify acceptable materials and timing so the city can evaluate feasibility. Members also mentioned local options, including a new “Junk Brothers” business in town that might haul materials, the possibility of volunteer days with school groups to assist with nonhazardous clean-up, and staged solutions (city assistance for some materials and commercial disposal for others). Staff was directed to meet with the resident to define materials, dates and possible partners and to return to the council with options rather than approve a full waiver that evening.","A homeowner asked the council to waive landfill fees to help remove an old house.

City staff advised the council that declaring the properties surplus is the step required before the city can either list them with brokers, pursue a private sale, or hold a public auction. The staff explained options including working with multiple local realtors to coordinate listings and a standard process for publishing an intent to sell and setting a proposed reserve price as a percentage of appraised value.

Councilmembers discussed using several local agents to co-list the properties and setting minimum broker percentages and noted legal requirements for publishing any proposed sale and for a hearing if council rejects an offer below the appraised value. The council did not select a final sale method at the meeting; staff will convene local realtors and return with a recommendation at a subsequent meeting.","Council declared 101 and 103 North Third Street surplus and instructed staff to research sale methods and consult local realtors; council will decide method of sale at a future meeting.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":56,"_73":56},6351513,"Beresford approves participation in federal DUI overtime program; police report shows higher service calls",279,1465000,1744000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2230057-102938746dbbdfffde7c7f967148530e&start=1465&end=1744","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2230057-102938746dbbdfffde7c7f967148530e/thumbnail_1465000.jpg","/articles/6351513/Beresford/Union-County/South-Dakota/Beresford-approves-participation-in-federal-DUI-overtime-program-police-report-shows-higher-service-calls","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6351513-0e6d7a444a1f860b0cf5267b06ae9c0b/orig.mp4?Expires=1775395472&Signature=YMv0HREV1Y5knqsnNGB4E~O-VCIX-VOn0445TrbUMkQlAc5eXNAegzibEROPQ2o8ph3LHKDmYxSb9Qom7bhdFDrNbfwGLmRtJTJJGk9Ri-sQ39EVm0ygtYYN1Dh8ow3P~Kz813ypIYzMrPLlsoVlYJmJSaWRfmxSNtffzxJeLVpCiPvwNGWEZ7dAhEG99bYd0suzKh8Lp4B1thaeFlQPQbBl30Djn3n23lhMARM8P7I5KSJJJ1G2M-T3qTn-hzU7TAbMnJk-7-k2hvEFyBgr4XKXegBBrhZvxN6X7snZR5BdJVUvSKWncciZa~j1oVYU7fQ-VYdM3BThE5i~J0k6og__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The BEREFORD City Council voted to participate in a federal DUI overtime program that will reimburse 80% of overtime costs for targeted DUI enforcement, with the city covering the remaining 20%.

Police Chief (identified in the meeting as the department head) presented the 2024 department report, saying the force handled 3,178 calls for service in 2024 — an 11.5% increase from the prior year — and described changes in crime categories and traffic enforcement. The chief said traffic stops totaled 1,395, arrests numbered 105 and citations totaled 517 in 2024. The department also reported increases in DUI numbers and described the department’s use of federal speed-overtime funding in the prior year.

Under the newly approved federal DUI overtime program, the federal share will cover equipment and costs used specifically for DUI enforcement — the chief cited portable breath testers (PBTs) and coverage for in-park enforcement as examples — and the city will front wages and be reimbursed quarterly. The chief told the council the department would not request additional equipment under the grant this year because of recent purchases and therefore anticipated no immediate city equipment cost.

Council discussion included suggestions to better document outreach work and community engagement that the department conducts (school contacts, bike rodeos and public safety events) to show the link between presence and crime reductions. The council approved the grant application and the mayor announced the motion carried; no roll-call tally was stated in the record.","Council authorized participation in a federal DUI overtime enforcement program (80% federal / 20% city).

Banner Associates representative Pat Carey and city staff told the council the change order is possible because the bid for the cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) work came in below budget. That created an opportunity to use remaining funds from the original package of South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DNR) clean water loan funds and related grants to televise and line additional sewer pipe now rather than in a future phase.

The change order expands televising by another 12,000 feet and adds lining of approximately 6,280 feet of 8-inch pipe, 2,550 feet of 12-inch pipe, about 760 feet of 15-inch pipe, 43 additional service connections and several manholes. Banner Associates and staff said the work represents pipe rehabilitation on existing service lines and not new service installation.

Staff cautioned there will be additional engineering and inspection costs and that DNR asked for a time extension; the contractor requested the extended schedule to ensure completion. City officials said they estimate the city will still retain several hundred thousand dollars of contingency in the overall funding package after the change order but that final accounting with the agency remained ongoing.

Pat Carey, representing Banner Associates, told the council the contractor has been cooperative and the expanded scope will allow the city to complete work planned for a later phase while grant and loan funding is available. Mayor Seeley put the motion on the table; the council voted to approve the change order. The council did not identify individual aye/no votes in the record; the mayor announced the motion carried.

The council directed staff to finalize the engineering amendment, secure DNR concurrence, and sign the change order so Musson Brothers could order materials and proceed.

The change order will increase inspection and engineering hours; staff said they will return if additional budget amendments are required.","The city approved Change Order No. 1 with Musson Brothers to expand cured-in-place pipe lining, increasing the contract by $1,076,185 and extending substantial completion to May 18, 2026, to use available state loan and grant funds.","actionData","errors"]
