Motion by Ode, seconded by Egge to approve the financial reports as presented for the month of December, 2009. Motion carried.
Administrative reports were heard. Superintendent David Pappone presented a birth certificate follow-up letter as well as an immunization follow-up letter to the board for their review. He also reported that we are celebrating School Board appreciation week this week and presented certificates to each board member in appreciation for their hard work and dedication to the Brandon Valley School District. The Brandon Valley Education Association (BVEA) presented Pappone and the Board of Education with a letter requesting to open negotiations on a new contract for the 2010-11 school year. Lastly, Pappone reported that January 27, 2010 is Brandon day at the Legislature in Pierre. The Chamber has chartered a bus for anyone interested in attending this event.
Business Manager Paul Lundberg presented the 2008-09 financial data as compiled by the SD Department of Education for the Educational Statistics Digest. Brandon Valley School District performed very well financially. The rankings for this fiscal period ended 6/30/2009 shows BV as the second most efficiently run school district in the state of South Dakota with a ranking of 156 out of 157 South Dakota school districts with a general fund per pupil cost of $5,366. Lundberg sited that this shows that the Board of Education is being very fiscally responsible with the revenues they are entrusted with.
Gregg Talcott, High School Principal reported on the following:
1. 2014 Graduation Requirements. The two graduation pathways that are available to students up to this point have now been changed to basically just one pathway. Other updates include each student having a personal learning plan, and the number of math and science credits has increased. Districts may now choose to include fine arts credits to include extracurricular fine arts (a school play, oral interpretation, etc.). The administration is not recommending this change. Effective with the freshmen class of 2010-11, each student will be required to have a semester of P.E., and a semester of health. BV currently requires a semester of P.E. at the High School level and health is offered at the Middle School level, which would fulfill the state’s requirement for health education. Capstone experience (internships) is offered at BV and so this requirement is already met here. Lastly, there will be a reduction in elective credits due to the additional science and health credits that are necessary. Credits necessary to graduate remains at 22, however due to the state mandates of additional classes, this could potentially reduce the elective credits available to those students that need to take required classes for graduation.
2. An overview of the Career & Technical Education Academy. As a partner with the Sioux Falls School District, we think this is a great opportunity for our students beginning with the 2010-11 school year. We have 30 spots at this academy and will encourage students to be part of this new academy. Students will attend their core classes at Brandon Valley High School and would attend the Career Academy for a block of time during the day to receive this specialized training. Transportation will be provided by the school district.
Operations Manager, Todd Williams, reported that the grant that the District applied for recently for a bus purchase was awarded up to 29% (not to exceed $28,745) on the purchase of a bus. The District also requested grant money for the retro-fits for five busses and all five of those were granted.

NOTICE
Notice was received of the East Dakota Water Development District Board Meeting on 1/21/10.
AGREEMENTS
Ken McFarland, Commission Administrative Officer, reported that the County has been negotiating a contract with Correct Care Solutions for detox services due to Avera McKennan's notice to discontinue providing this service. CCS included a cost estimate for detox services as part of their proposal for inmate medical care. However, the actual fees are slightly higher due to insurance requirements which did not allow the use of the insurance in place for inmate medical care. The contact is for a two-year term to begin 2/1/10. The first year expenses including start up costs are estimated at $702,840, with the second year at $705,036. The CCS program will include additional medical oversight not currently offered. The actual cost of services will be billed on a monthly basis. MOTION by Pekas, seconded by Twedt to authorize the Chairman to sign the Detoxification Facility Operation Agreement between Correct Care Solutions, LLC and Minnehaha County. 5 ayes.
Ken McFarland, Commission Administrative Officer, presented an agreement for architect services with Perspective, Inc. for the Safe Home Project. The architect agreement is necessary to move forward with the planning and grant application process with Lloyd Companies. In order to enhance the viability of the financing applications, the project committee has directed that the facility concept be changed to include different construction materials and possibly a different footprint. Mr. McFarland reported that the agreement was delivered to the Commission office this morning. The proposed architect fee of $199,569 is based on 6% of the construction cost. Additional fees for other required services are also included in the agreement, bringing the total proposed fee to $241,200. Larry Crane with Perspective was present and explained the costs listed in the proposal. He believed that they would meet the submission deadline for SD Public Housing. He stated that once the building product quality issues are resolved, if the project comes in lower than estimates the architect fee could be renegotiated. Hugh Grogan, Human Services Director, expressed concern over building durability. MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Pekas to defer consideration of the architect agreement for 1 week to allow for review by counsel, with the intent to move ahead with the project with Lloyd Companies. 5 ayes.
PROPOSAL
Ken McFarland, Commission Administrative Officer, presented two proposals from TSP for the Jail kitchen relocation study and the Public Safety Building re-roof project. Both projects were identified in the 2010 budget. TSP will develop feasibility and cost estimates for the Jail kitchen relocation for three possible locations at a cost of $19,880 plus reimbursable expenses. For the PSB re-roof, TSP will review the condition of the roof materials and determine the best course of action at a cost of $9,600 plus reimbursable expenses. TSP has familiarity with the PSB and Jail due to prior project involvement. MOTION by Pekas, seconded by Barth to accept both proposals with TSP and authorize the Chairman to sign the Architectural Services Agreement. 5 ayes.
APPOINTMENTS
MOTION by Pekas, seconded by Barth to appoint Commissioner Kelly and Pekas to the Metro Communications Council. 5 ayes.
MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Pekas to appoint Commissioner Hajek to the SD Association of County Commissioners Board of Directors and to appoint Commissioner Twedt as alternate. 5 ayes.

BRIEFING
Phil Kappen, Assistant Planning Director, briefed the Commission on the proposed management plan for the development and maintenance of the new County Park, Bucher Prairie. The property was donated to the County by Lyle Bucher for use as a park with the land to be converted to native prairie. The proposed plan will cost approximately $86,000 and includes weed control, planting of native trees and grasses, development of walking trails, footbridges, and ponds. The project will rely on current Park Maintenance funds in the 2010 budget, along with contributions from East Dakota Development District, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and private donations. Scott Anderson, Planning Director, reported that he has been in contact with the Bucher family on the project and that the cost development will be spread over 3 to 5 years. Commissioner Barth credited the Bucher family for this donation.
UPDATE
Ken McFarland, Commission Administrative Officer, briefed the Commission on proposed legislation affecting county government.

Administrative reports were heard. Superintendent David Pappone presented a birth certificate follow-up letter as well as an immunization follow-up letter to the board for their review. He also reported that we are celebrating School Board appreciation week this week and presented certificates to each board member in appreciation for their hard work and dedication to the Brandon Valley School District. The Brandon Valley Education Association (BVEA) presented Pappone and the Board of Education with a letter requesting to open negotiations on a new contract for the 2010-11 school year. Lastly, Pappone reported that January 27, 2010 is Brandon day at the Legislature in Pierre. The Chamber has chartered a bus for anyone interested in attending this event.
Business Manager Paul Lundberg presented the 2008-09 financial data as compiled by the SD Department of Education for the Educational Statistics Digest. Brandon Valley School District performed very well financially. The rankings for this fiscal period ended 6/30/2009 shows BV as the second most efficiently run school district in the state of South Dakota with a ranking of 156 out of 157 South Dakota school districts with a general fund per pupil cost of $5,366. Lundberg sited that this shows that the Board of Education is being very fiscally responsible with the revenues they are entrusted with.
Gregg Talcott, High School Principal reported on the following:
1. 2014 Graduation Requirements. The two graduation pathways that are available to students up to this point have now been changed to basically just one pathway. Other updates include each student having a personal learning plan, and the number of math and science credits has increased. Districts may now choose to include fine arts credits to include extracurricular fine arts (a school play, oral interpretation, etc.). The administration is not recommending this change. Effective with the freshmen class of 2010-11, each student will be required to have a semester of P.E., and a semester of health. BV currently requires a semester of P.E. at the High School level and health is offered at the Middle School level, which would fulfill the state’s requirement for health education. Capstone experience (internships) is offered at BV and so this requirement is already met here. Lastly, there will be a reduction in elective credits due to the additional science and health credits that are necessary. Credits necessary to graduate remains at 22, however due to the state mandates of additional classes, this could potentially reduce the elective credits available to those students that need to take required classes for graduation.
2. An overview of the Career & Technical Education Academy. As a partner with the Sioux Falls School District, we think this is a great opportunity for our students beginning with the 2010-11 school year. We have 30 spots at this academy and will encourage students to be part of this new academy. Students will attend their core classes at Brandon Valley High School and would attend the Career Academy for a block of time during the day to receive this specialized training. Transportation will be provided by the school district.
Operations Manager, Todd Williams, reported that the grant that the District applied for recently for a bus purchase was awarded up to 29% (not to exceed $28,745) on the purchase of a bus. The District also requested grant money for the retro-fits for five busses and all five of those were granted.
The following Board Policies were given a first reading by the Board of Education:
KG-ER Facility Use Policy

KG-ERE (Attachment) Certificate of Liability Insurance Sample
President Jean Bender acknowledged a letter that the Board of Education received from Lori Murray regarding the addition of Gymnastics as a school sponsored sport.

This topic would then be opened up for community input at the first meeting in February.

AGREEMENTS
Ken McFarland, Commission Administrative Officer, reported that the County has been negotiating a contract with Correct Care Solutions for detox services due to Avera McKennan's notice to discontinue providing this service. CCS included a cost estimate for detox services as part of their proposal for inmate medical care.

The contact is for a two-year term to begin 2/1/10. The first year expenses including start up costs are estimated at $702,840, with the second year at $705,036. The CCS program will include additional medical oversight not currently offered. The actual cost of services will be billed on a monthly basis. MOTION by Pekas, seconded by Twedt to authorize the Chairman to sign the Detoxification Facility Operation Agreement between Correct Care Solutions, LLC and Minnehaha County. 5 ayes.

The architect agreement is necessary to move forward with the planning and grant application process with Lloyd Companies. In order to enhance the viability of the financing applications, the project committee has directed that the facility concept be changed to include different construction materials and possibly a different footprint. Mr. McFarland reported that the agreement was delivered to the Commission office this morning. The proposed architect fee of $199,569 is based on 6% of the construction cost. Additional fees for other required services are also included in the agreement, bringing the total proposed fee to $241,200. Larry Crane with Perspective was present and explained the costs listed in the proposal. He believed that they would meet the submission deadline for SD Public Housing. He stated that once the building product quality issues are resolved, if the project comes in lower than estimates the architect fee could be renegotiated. Hugh Grogan, Human Services Director, expressed concern over building durability. MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Pekas to defer consideration of the architect agreement for 1 week to allow for review by counsel, with the intent to move ahead with the project with Lloyd Companies. 5 ayes.

BRIEFING

The proposed plan will cost approximately $86,000 and includes weed control, planting of native trees and grasses, development of walking trails, footbridges, and ponds. The project will rely on current Park Maintenance funds in the 2010 budget, along with contributions from East Dakota Development District, the US Fish and Wildlife Service, and private donations. Scott Anderson, Planning Director, reported that he has been in contact with the Bucher family on the project and that the cost development will be spread over 3 to 5 years.
