Motion by Ode, seconded by Rasmussen to approve the financial reports as presented for the month of October, 2009. Motion carried.
Administrative reports were heard. Superintendent David Pappone continues to track attendance daily by building and reporting to the State of South Dakota Department of Health and Department of Education. Absences due to illness district-wide for the last few weeks were at a high of 9.54% two weeks ago, decreased to 4.29%, and now this last week was at 2.18%, which is a much-improved level. Pappone also has been in contact with Minnehaha County regarding vaccination clinics. He learned that there is a limited supply of H1N1 vaccines now, but they do anticipate that the supply will increase. Vaccination Clinics have been scheduled at the Fairgrounds and are open to anyone in Minnehaha County to Tier 1 and Tier 2 (which includes school-aged students). A vaccination clinic is still scheduled in Brandon, but no date is available at this time; it is likely to be at the end of November.
Pappone also reported that in General Business this evening the Board will be looking at a contract with Stockwell Engineers regarding the sidewalk construction at Fred Assam Elementary. Pappone has spoken with the County Attorney to get a written agreement between Minnehaha County and the Brandon Valley School District to be able to provide this sidewalk; Gordy Swanson will be putting together that document. Pappone believes the District has satisfied all conditions associated with the motion to construct this sidewalk, and we are now ready to move forward on the sidewalk construction.

Commissioner Barth, County Aid Lien Liaison, briefed the Commission on the following lien compromise requests:

A request to release the lien from the property only was received from an attorney representing the sellers of the property as they are pursuing foreclosure action.

DPNO 46846, in the amount of $837.30. The applicant in this request is the ex-husband of the lienee. He was in the process of selling his home when the lien was noted by a title company. The lien is for services between December 2001 and March 2005. The couple divorced in January 2001, and the property was to be quitclaimed to the applicant. The deed was not filed until 2005. Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, explained that it was the applicant's responsibility to follow through with the quitclaim filing. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Twedt to approve Resolution MC09-47. 4 ayes, Kelly - nay.

DRAINAGE
Pursuant to deferral on 11/3/09, Phil Kappen, Assistant Planning Director, was present to consider drainage permit applications 09-149 and 09-150. He explained that the applicant, Vern McAreavey, has applied for permits to keep drain tile that was already installed on his property in Sections 17 and 20 of Clear Lake Township, but in excess of what was permitted. Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, explained that the commission action today would be to approve or deny the permits for this work, which exceeds the scope of permits initially granted to this applicant. Other procedures are available for persons who feel they have been wronged through a drainage situation. Mr. Swanson commented that whether the applicant deliberately installed more tile than indicated is debatable. He urged the Commissioners to act on the merits of the applications, and not merely deny them automatically because the scope of the drainage work had exceeded the original permits. He advised them that they do still have the discretion to either approve or deny the applications. Commissioner Barth stated that he has toured the area where the drainage tile was installed and that he was not certain that all the flooding has happened since this tile was put in, noting the wet summer, and past wet seasons. Commissioner Kelly did not believe the work in excess was done intentionally, but acknowledged that there were interpretation gaps and was reluctant to have the applicant pull the tile based on that. Commissioner Barth was reluctant to make a decision based on what is seen on paper and believed the situation should be looked at on the ground. Commissioner Pekas commented on photos shown last week from 1937, during a time of drought showing one of the lakes as totally dry. From that time forward, the lakes began filling as two lakes and have now turned into one due to water draining into it for quite some time. The drainage tile may have accelerated that. Last week, the McAreaveys acknowledged that there was a misunderstanding in the application process, that they gave only general information on the projects, and that the work exceeded the expectations given to the Planning department. MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Hajek to deny drainage permit 09-149 and 09-150 because more tile than staff envisioned was installed thus possibly increasing the scope of the drainage and the speed with which the drainage would occur. 3 ayes, Barth and Kelly - nay.
OLD BUSINESS
Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, gave an update on a proposed sidewalk for Fred Assam School. He explained that county staff, along with representatives of the school and Pine Lake Hills subdivision, are working towards a resolution. The school and homeowners will need to work out securing right-of-ways from those property owners that the path will cross.
Commissioner Barth announced that the city of Sioux Falls will place a material on Klein Avenue in Klein Subdivision to improve the road surface and will plow that street during the winter.
MOTION Barth, seconded by Kelly to adjourn into Executive Session for contract negotiation. 5 ayes. Following the Executive Session, the Commission adjourned until 5:00 p.m. on Monday, November 16, 2009.
