Brandon School District
The regular meeting of the Brandon Valley Board of Education, Brandon, SD was held at 6:30 p.m. on the 26th of October, 2009 at the Valley Springs Elementary Music Building with the following members present: Jean Bender, Jay Rasmussen, Gregg Ode, Renee Ullom and Todd Egge. Absent: None. Also present were Superintendent David Pappone, Business Manager Paul J. Lundberg, High School Assistant Principal Brad Thorson, Middle School Principal Dan Pansch, Valley Springs Elementary Principal Bill Freking, Special Services Director Lyn Heidenson, and Operations Manager Todd Williams.
President Jean Bender called the regular meeting to order and opened with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Motion by Ode, seconded by Ullom to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried.
Valley Springs Elementary Teacher Paula Gordon presented an elementary physical education college writing project. Based on a book study she participated in with her peers, Mrs. Gordon has been working with her students to become aware of college sports and especially college in general. They studied the NCAA tournament, the Olympics, and conferences and divisions in college sports. Gordon believes this project will be a constant reminder that college is important and definitely in our students’ futures.
Superintendent David Pappone updated the board on the absence report for the week of 10/19/2009, where absences have increased to 9.54% of our total student population. This rate has been slowly rising for 4 weeks and now has taken a sharp climb during the past two weeks of reporting. The current week shows signs for decrease in absences of students; staff illnesses continue to be manageable. Pappone also reported that School Improvement Plans have been submitted and available for the Board’s review on-line; these plans will be brought forward in the near future.
President Jean Bender discussed recent correspondence from parent Cameo Anders regarding Fred Assam Elementary school safety issues. The issue remains the concern of students walking along Six Mile Road. Ms. Anders recent correspondence has asked that the Board consider moving the crosswalk north to the Mystic Meadows Drive and construct a sidewalk to adjoin our property going north along the east side of Six Mile road to connect up to the crosswalk at Mystic Drive.
Superintendent Pappone has spoken to the adjacent homeowner of property involved in this construction and her only hesitation was snow removal. Pappone assured her that if the School District built the sidewalk, we would take on that obligation. She agreed, contingent upon the school maintaining the sidewalk. The Deputy State’s Attorney for Minnehaha County, Gordy Swanson, told Pappone that the county would approve our request for a sidewalk. The School District attorney did advise Pappone that as a School District, we have no legal obligation to build this sidewalk, however, if we do construct the sidewalk, we would have the same liability on that sidewalk that we have on the rest of our property’s sidewalks district-wide. Although Pappone believes this will set precedence, it is a unique situation that will not likely arise at any other school location.
Superintendent Pappone’s recommendation is to move the crosswalk north to the Mystic Meadows Drive and construct a sidewalk on the east side of Six Mile Road to provide a pathway to Fred Assam Elementary. Motion by Rasmussen, seconded by Ullom to provide a walk path on the east side of Six Mile Road (approximately 300 feet) from the current crosswalk to Mystic Drive, based on the following conditions:
1. Minnehaha County confirms this location is acceptable and this location maintains/increases current safety levels;
2. Landowner to the north approves the walk path where it crosses their property;
3. Minnehaha County and the city of Sioux Falls provides crosswalk flashers;
4. The sidewalk is built per the city of Sioux Falls specifications;
5. Ms. Cameo Anders recognizes in writing that the Brandon Valley School District has no obligation to provide walk paths to and throughout the Pine Lake Hills Development.
On a roll call vote, the following voted Aye: Rasmussen, Ullom, Egge, Ode, and Bender. Nay: none. Motion carried.
Motion by Egge, seconded by Rasmussen to appoint Renee Ullom as delegate to represent the Brandon Valley School District at the Associated School Boards of South Dakota delegate assembly. Motion carried.
Motion by Ullom, seconded by Ode to approve the following general business items:
1. Approve agreement with South Dakota State University concerning supervised Early Childhood Education student teaching program.
2. Approve addendum to Inter-Lakes Community Action Partnership Head Start Pre-Birth to Five contract.
Motion carried.

1. Resignation from Amy Forster, Brandon Elementary Special Education Educational Assistant, effective 10/22/2009.

6. Recommendation for termination of Shari Mohlenkamp, Fred Assam Elementary Child Nutrition.
7. Recommendation to transfer Kim Bly from Brandon Valley High School Child Nutrition to Fred Assam Elementary Head Cook, effective October 15, 2009.

(Any amount over $1,000 will be deposited into the Museum Store Trust Fund.)
NUISANCE
On 9/15/09, the Commission entered into an agreement with Henry Dansman, county resident, allowing him until 10/25/09 to abate a public nuisance on his property, legally described as the W1/2 SW1/4 (Ex Trs 1 & 2 & Ex H-1, H-2, H-3) Section 29-T102N-R51W and the S1/2 SE1/4 Section 30-T102N-R51W, as a public nuisance. The property is located at 46106 261st Street, Hartford. Ryan Streff, Planner, reported that Planning and State's Attorney staff have been working with the owner on cleanup as detailed in the agreement. Much progress has been made and a list of remaining tasks compiled. Mr. Dansman's attorney, Cynthia Ahrendt, requested a deadline extension of 11 days because rain on several of the work days has slowed down the cleanup process. Mr. Streff reported that staff recommends a 22 day extension to ensure enough time is given to clean up the property without further delay. Commissioner Kelly asked the status of an additional lot owned by Mr. Dansman across the road. Ms. Ahrendt reported that some of the items were moved from the primary parcel to this location and can be cleaned up if necessary. MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Barth to extend the deadline to abate the Dansman public nuisance to 11/16/09 and authorize the Chairman to sign the extension. 5 ayes.
EM MGMT
MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Twedt to approve the following supplements from the Emergency Management Fund to the Emergency Management Budget: $3,917.23 (ASN 16927) 07 Citizen Corp Grant; $100,718.02 (ASN 16923) 08 Citizen Corp Grant and 08 Homeland Security Region 8 Grant; $73,589.72 (ASN 16992) 07 PSIC Grant; and $2,500 (ASN 16959) LifeLight support of Police Reserves. 5 ayes.

MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Barth to approve the agreement. 5 ayes.
AGREEMENT
Sheriff Mike Milstead presented an agreement with the SD Public Assurance Alliance which offers a 5% police professional liability loss control credit, starting in 2010, for members who agree to adopt 12 law enforcement related policies. Sheriff Milstead reported that the policies are currently being reviewed and will be submitted for final approval before the 3/30/10 deadline. Sue Roust, Auditor, reported that the savings will be $5,000. MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Twedt to authorize the Chairman to sign the Law Enforcement Policies and Procedures Agreement with the SD Public Assurance Alliance. 5 ayes.
EQUALIZATION
On 10/20/09, Eli Whitney, Director of Equalization, briefed the Commission on a change in the method for assessing Ag land in the state from a market value approach to an agricultural income value (productivity method). The intent of the change is to provide the "true farmer" relief from the market based system. State law sets a minimum of 20 acres to receive the Ag classification, along with other conditions, and allows county commissions to increase the minimum acreage requirement up to 160 acres. Mr. Whitney believed an increase to a 40 acre minimum was more appropriate for Minnehaha County. Commissioner Hajek supported increasing the minimum size to 160 acres, noting that the true farmer is protected by the other requirements of the statute. Dick Kallemeyn, former Director of Equalization, supported the 40 acre minimum and explained how the minimum was set when legislation was first adopted. The intent was for Minnehaha County to start with the 20 acre minimum and raise it later. Commissioners were in consensus that full market value was most appropriate, but would work within the law. MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Barth to approve the recommended change in the minimum acreage size requirement from 20 to 40 acres for the Ag classification. 5 ayes.
NEW BUSINESS
Kari Benz, Assistant Human Services Director, briefed the Commission on a federal grant opportunity for the Project Safe Home Program through the SD Housing Development Authority on behalf of the Housing for the Homeless State Consortium. If funded, the Safe Home Program would be awarded $152,000 to be applied to building costs of a new structure. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Twedt to authorize the submission of an application for federal funding for Project Safe Home. 5 ayes.
MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Barth to adjourn until 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 3, 2009. 5 ayes.

Brandon School District
The regular meeting of the Brandon Valley Board of Education, Brandon, SD was held at 6:30 p.m. on the 26th of October, 2009 at the Valley Springs Elementary Music Building with the following members present: Jean Bender, Jay Rasmussen, Gregg Ode, Renee Ullom and Todd Egge. Absent: None. Also present were Superintendent David Pappone, Business Manager Paul J. Lundberg, High School Assistant Principal Brad Thorson, Middle School Principal Dan Pansch, Valley Springs Elementary Principal Bill Freking, Special Services Director Lyn Heidenson, and Operations Manager Todd Williams.
President Jean Bender called the regular meeting to order and opened with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Motion by Ode, seconded by Ullom to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried.
Valley Springs Elementary Teacher Paula Gordon presented an elementary physical education college writing project. Based on a book study she participated in with her peers, Mrs. Gordon has been working with her students to become aware of college sports and especially college in general. They studied the NCAA tournament, the Olympics, and conferences and divisions in college sports. Gordon believes this project will be a constant reminder that college is important and definitely in our students’ futures.
Superintendent David Pappone updated the board on the absence report for the week of 10/19/2009, where absences have increased to 9.54% of our total student population. This rate has been slowly rising for 4 weeks and now has taken a sharp climb during the past two weeks of reporting. The current week shows signs for decrease in absences of students; staff illnesses continue to be manageable. Pappone also reported that School Improvement Plans have been submitted and available for the Board’s review on-line; these plans will be brought forward in the near future.
President Jean Bender discussed recent correspondence from parent Cameo Anders regarding Fred Assam Elementary school safety issues. The issue remains the concern of students walking along Six Mile Road. Ms. Anders recent correspondence has asked that the Board consider moving the crosswalk north to the Mystic Meadows Drive and construct a sidewalk to adjoin our property going north along the east side of Six Mile road to connect up to the crosswalk at Mystic Drive.
Superintendent Pappone has spoken to the adjacent homeowner of property involved in this construction and her only hesitation was snow removal. Pappone assured her that if the School District built the sidewalk, we would take on that obligation. She agreed, contingent upon the school maintaining the sidewalk. The Deputy State’s Attorney for Minnehaha County, Gordy Swanson, told Pappone that the county would approve our request for a sidewalk. The School District attorney did advise Pappone that as a School District, we have no legal obligation to build this sidewalk, however, if we do construct the sidewalk, we would have the same liability on that sidewalk that we have on the rest of our property’s sidewalks district-wide. Although Pappone believes this will set precedence, it is a unique situation that will not likely arise at any other school location.
Superintendent Pappone’s recommendation is to move the crosswalk north to the Mystic Meadows Drive and construct a sidewalk on the east side of Six Mile Road to provide a pathway to Fred Assam Elementary. Motion by Rasmussen, seconded by Ullom to provide a walk path on the east side of Six Mile Road (approximately 300 feet) from the current crosswalk to Mystic Drive, based on the following conditions:
1. Minnehaha County confirms this location is acceptable and this location maintains/increases current safety levels;
2. Landowner to the north approves the walk path where it crosses their property;
3. Minnehaha County and the city of Sioux Falls provides crosswalk flashers;
4. The sidewalk is built per the city of Sioux Falls specifications;
5. Ms. Cameo Anders recognizes in writing that the Brandon Valley School District has no obligation to provide walk paths to and throughout the Pine Lake Hills Development.
On a roll call vote, the following voted Aye: Rasmussen, Ullom, Egge, Ode, and Bender. Nay: none. Motion carried.
Motion by Egge, seconded by Rasmussen to appoint Renee Ullom as delegate to represent the Brandon Valley School District at the Associated School Boards of South Dakota delegate assembly. Motion carried.
Motion by Ullom, seconded by Ode to approve the following general business items:
1. Approve agreement with South Dakota State University concerning supervised Early Childhood Education student teaching program.
2. Approve addendum to Inter-Lakes Community Action Partnership Head Start Pre-Birth to Five contract.
Motion carried.

1. Resignation from Amy Forster, Brandon Elementary Special Education Educational Assistant, effective 10/22/2009.
2. Recommendation to hire Angie Wrightsman, Brandon Elementary Special Education Educational Assistant, 16 hours/week, $10.75/hour.

5. Recommendation to hire Shannon Hansen, Brandon Valley High School Child Nutrition Cook, $10.00/hour, effective October 19, 2009.
6. Recommendation for termination of Shari Mohlenkamp, Fred Assam Elementary Child Nutrition.
7. Recommendation to transfer Kim Bly from Brandon Valley High School Child Nutrition to Fred Assam Elementary Head Cook, effective October 15, 2009.
Motion carried.

1. Thank you from Jessica, Ryan, Addison and Cora Hunsaid for the plant sent after the birth of Cora.
2. Thank you from Ivan Else family for the expression of sympathy.

(Any amount over $1,000 will be deposited into the Museum Store Trust Fund.)
NUISANCE
On 9/15/09, the Commission entered into an agreement with Henry Dansman, county resident, allowing him until 10/25/09 to abate a public nuisance on his property, legally described as the W1/2 SW1/4 (Ex Trs 1 & 2 & Ex H-1, H-2, H-3) Section 29-T102N-R51W and the S1/2 SE1/4 Section 30-T102N-R51W, as a public nuisance. The property is located at 46106 261st Street, Hartford. Ryan Streff, Planner, reported that Planning and State's Attorney staff have been working with the owner on cleanup as detailed in the agreement. Much progress has been made and a list of remaining tasks compiled. Mr. Dansman's attorney, Cynthia Ahrendt, requested a deadline extension of 11 days because rain on several of the work days has slowed down the cleanup process. Mr. Streff reported that staff recommends a 22 day extension to ensure enough time is given to clean up the property without further delay. Commissioner Kelly asked the status of an additional lot owned by Mr. Dansman across the road. Ms. Ahrendt reported that some of the items were moved from the primary parcel to this location and can be cleaned up if necessary. MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Barth to extend the deadline to abate the Dansman public nuisance to 11/16/09 and authorize the Chairman to sign the extension. 5 ayes.
EM MGMT
MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Twedt to approve the following supplements from the Emergency Management Fund to the Emergency Management Budget: $3,917.23 (ASN 16927) 07 Citizen Corp Grant; $100,718.02 (ASN 16923) 08 Citizen Corp Grant and 08 Homeland Security Region 8 Grant; $73,589.72 (ASN 16992) 07 PSIC Grant; and $2,500 (ASN 16959) LifeLight support of Police Reserves. 5 ayes.
Lynn DeYoung, Emergency Management Director, requested approval of an agreement between Minnehaha and Lincoln County Emergency Management to develop a Pre-Disaster Mitigation Plan. The plan will identify potential threats to the community. South Eastern Council of Governments will provide professional services for the completion of the Plan which will be paid for through a FEMA Grant in the amount of $30,000 plus a $10,000 soft/cash match from the counties. MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Barth to approve the agreement. 5 ayes.
AGREEMENT
Sheriff Mike Milstead presented an agreement with the SD Public Assurance Alliance which offers a 5% police professional liability loss control credit, starting in 2010, for members who agree to adopt 12 law enforcement related policies. Sheriff Milstead reported that the policies are currently being reviewed and will be submitted for final approval before the 3/30/10 deadline. Sue Roust, Auditor, reported that the savings will be $5,000. MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Twedt to authorize the Chairman to sign the Law Enforcement Policies and Procedures Agreement with the SD Public Assurance Alliance. 5 ayes.
EQUALIZATION
On 10/20/09, Eli Whitney, Director of Equalization, briefed the Commission on a change in the method for assessing Ag land in the state from a market value approach to an agricultural income value (productivity method). The intent of the change is to provide the "true farmer" relief from the market based system. State law sets a minimum of 20 acres to receive the Ag classification, along with other conditions, and allows county commissions to increase the minimum acreage requirement up to 160 acres. Mr. Whitney believed an increase to a 40 acre minimum was more appropriate for Minnehaha County. Commissioner Hajek supported increasing the minimum size to 160 acres, noting that the true farmer is protected by the other requirements of the statute. Dick Kallemeyn, former Director of Equalization, supported the 40 acre minimum and explained how the minimum was set when legislation was first adopted. The intent was for Minnehaha County to start with the 20 acre minimum and raise it later. Commissioners were in consensus that full market value was most appropriate, but would work within the law. MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Barth to approve the recommended change in the minimum acreage size requirement from 20 to 40 acres for the Ag classification. 5 ayes.
NEW BUSINESS
Kari Benz, Assistant Human Services Director, briefed the Commission on a federal grant opportunity for the Project Safe Home Program through the SD Housing Development Authority on behalf of the Housing for the Homeless State Consortium. If funded, the Safe Home Program would be awarded $152,000 to be applied to building costs of a new structure. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Twedt to authorize the submission of an application for federal funding for Project Safe Home. 5 ayes.
MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Barth to adjourn until 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, November 3, 2009. 5 ayes.
