After the second reading the motion to adopt passed by voice vote; the ordinance will be spread on the minutes and, according to staff, will take effect after publication and any statutory waiting period.

No formal amendments were recorded during the second reading and adoption.

City staff described a $21,350 change order to install 305 linear feet of 24-inch HDPE storm sewer in the Warren Brock residential housing development. Staff said the buried pipe between planned inlets on Garfield and Grant streets would reduce the size of required drainage easements and lessen the need for a deep, maintenance-prone ditch behind new lots. A motion to approve the change order to Metro Construction carried by voice vote.

Separately, council members approved Change Order No. 2 for the block/Tudorbach residential development: a $460,563.90 contract increase to extend 12-inch sanitary sewer under Gun Club Road roughly 500 feet east from the substation, then turn north to stub out for future industrial lots. Staff explained the work requires an 18-foot deep installation to provide capacity to serve eastward development and to avoid repeatedly reopening Gun Club Road for future crossings. Metro Construction will stage work to minimize conflicts with ballfield access; staff said heavy construction likely will occur after the ball season.

Council also approved a $14,313.12 change order to Gil Haugen Construction for patio, sidewalk and stonework associated with the clubhouse patio addition; staff said poor subsoils and additional fill drove the increase and that combining roof and patio work saved money compared with separate projects.

Motions on each change order were moved, seconded and carried by voice vote; the meeting record shows \"motion carries\" for each item but does not list individual recorded roll-call votes.","The council approved multiple change orders: a $21,350 addition of 305 feet of 24-inch HDPE storm sewer; a $460,563.90 extension and deepening of sanitary sewer under Gun Club Road to serve future industrial lots; and a $14,313.12 change for a clubhouse patio/stonework.",{"_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},6230815,"Beresford council cites $9,999 grant to study local child-care capacity; consultant visit set for May",1549,110000,1659000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3441953-08013f80ad6322f1e63a2f551fde86be&start=110&end=1659","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3441953-08013f80ad6322f1e63a2f551fde86be/thumbnail_110000.jpg","/articles/6230815/Beresford/Union-County/South-Dakota/Beresford-council-cites-9999-grant-to-study-local-child-care-capacity-consultant-visit-set-for-May","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6230815-9337e7232010e6bab95f6e5ac0b4ff88/orig.mp4?Expires=1775395479&Signature=hwp1f1ESRIjK-e33VaeZ5S-fjeT4ejuwo3jzXKXoigeFqLOPcaLCiCU8TjhxQ3ArEW9IF66uVE1n9PtUtjx8k1pz~EFXOyp3UKJ0ShMsp7M~u2XgXr-EHiGAeP8--5ehoI9BkhPmaenAzPuojZ0KF2y~IRH~rIX-LFF1YLg2sdp3KJsGRB3YeAhV0Z0wWNiYRFnmHgOJy95j0GHuskMI7vXz7lk0tt4lSTfE7HeaEUqQ0VJdDI3WXGuFXA-uyVqh2Vxn2gHTQzWRvrJZX5fPPYnu3HGR2DEfuYMTpgp2nfIr1sgeCvxF8ycUnNIonLhFLopSpR6Sjy0BQr0yz-iS~Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Sealy said the Beresford Area Foundation (also referred to as the Beresford Community Foundation) approved a $9,999 grant to the Beresford Child Care Task Force to study how the city can add child-care capacity.

The grant \"is specifically being used to study how it is that we best position ourselves to add capacity to our community,\" Sealy said. The council also held a first reading of an ordinance to supplement the FY2025 budget to reflect receipt of the grant and the related expenses.

The task force will host consultant Jeff, described by council members as an experienced consultant who has worked in both large cities and small communities, in town on Friday the 23rd. Sealy said there will be public events including a lunch at Calvarose and sessions with current local child-care providers to discuss efficiency and future planning.

Council members said the work aims to strengthen early-childhood capacity \"at the base\" of the community services pyramid. The budget ordinance (Ordinance 2025-036) was introduced on first reading to allow city staff to record the grant and associated expenditures; no final vote on that ordinance occurred at the meeting.

The council approved the amended agenda and scheduled follow-up budget work as needed. Sealy said she will publish a press release in the near future with details about the consultant visits and public sessions.

The first reading of the budget-supplement ordinance means staff can begin preparing accounts to reflect the grant, but the full appropriation will require subsequent council action.","The Beresford Area Foundation awarded a $9,999 grant to the Beresford Child Care Task Force to study local child-care capacity.
