Council approves consent package, adopts speed-limit ordinance, names election officials and accepts mayoral delegate letter
Summary
At the meeting the council approved a consent agenda including CDBG application items and vendor agreements, adopted Ordinance No. 657 on speed limits on second reading, appointed three election officials and accepted a mayoral letter naming a city delegate to a regional water board.
The City Council approved a multi-item consent agenda, adopted Ordinance No. 657 (speed limits) on second reading, appointed three election officials and accepted a letter from the mayor naming a city delegate to the Dakota Mainstem regional water system during the meeting.
The consent agenda included multiple items tied to the city’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) application — described by staff as “a number of resolutions, policies, statements and assurances” required for the application due at the end of the month — a purchase agreement for a new administrative vehicle, a new background-check agreement using SportsEngine (noting it is significantly cheaper than the prior vendor ClearStar), a slurry-seal bid award coordinated through the City of Sioux Falls, and an amended agreement with an electric pump approved by the city attorney. Staff said one intended presenter, Harley, was absent because of a family emergency.
Ordinance No. 657, which updates local speed limits, had previously received a first reading at the Feb. 24 meeting and incorporated changes directed by the council on Feb. 10. A staff member recommended a motion to approve the ordinance on second reading; the council moved, seconded and approved the motion by voice vote.
On election administration, the council appointed Kim Bo as precinct superintendent and Annette Vargas and Joshua Chase as precinct deputies. The appointments were made by motion and approved by voice vote.
The council also accepted a letter from the mayor appointing the meeting’s speaker as the city’s delegate to the Dakota Mainstem Regional Water System; the council approved that acceptance by voice vote.
Members moved to adjourn after completing business.
