Brandon Valley School Dist.
The regular meeting of the Brandon Valley Board of Education, Brandon, SD was held at 6:30 p.m. on the 8th of February, 2010 at the Brandon Valley Middle School Media Center 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 Principal Gregg Talcott, Assistant High School Principal Brad Thorson, Activities Director Randy Marso, Middle School Principal Dan Pansch, Assistant Middle School Principal Randy Hill, Robert Bennis Elementary Principal Karen Heyden, Valley Springs Elementary Principal Bill Freking, Fred Assam Elementary Principal Susan Foster, Curriculum Director Tanya Czepull, and Operations Manager Todd Williams.
Motion by Egge, seconded by Rasmussen to approve the agenda as revised. Motion carried.
Motion by Ode, seconded by Ullom to approve the minutes of the regular meetings of January 11, 2010 and January 26, 2010 as presented. Motion carried.
On behalf of the Brandon Chamber of Commerce, Barb Fish, Kevin Thelen, and Kim Cerwick thanked the Board of Education, Dave Pappone, Paul Lundberg and Randy Marso for helping to make the first annual BV Holiday Classic Basketball Tournament a success. Held January 2, 2010, there was an eighth grade BB tournament in the morning and then three varsity BB games in the afternoon/evening with approximately 1,200 tickets sold. All volunteers (35+) showed up on a very cold January day and the Chamber was reminded how thankful we all should be for our wonderful facilities. Plans are underway for a second annual event where the Chamber and the School District can work together on another great event.
A public hearing was held regarding Gymnastics. Lori Murray spoke to the Board of Education about the addition of Gymnastics as a sanctioned sport at the Brandon Valley School District. She was disappointed with the recommendation from Activities Director, Randy Marso, which limited it to the current population of gymnasts. Although she understands that the financial impact does need to be considered, she hoped that this would be more than just a numbers conversation and more of a look at a unique opportunity for the students.
She also discussed the survey instrument that Activities Director Randy Marso used to make his recommendation at the last board of education meeting. She felt the time frame of the survey was too short to get a fair response from parents, it was limited to 5th through 10th grade students and she doesn’t understand why it wasn’t sent deeper into the Elementary School to gauge more long-term support. She also felt that the survey was slanted in that not everyone felt they had the opportunity to respond, stating that this survey was for student athletes that were serious about the sport of gymnastics and competing at a high level. She doesn’t believe that we can accurately view “low” interest in gymnastics from this survey.
Murray has spoken to different coaches and found that they don’t plan to discontinue the offering. With 13 A schools offering this program – all smaller communities than Brandon – she doesn’t understand why Brandon Valley can’t field a team. According to Murray, 80% of all AA schools continue to offer this and she wants Brandon Valley to be among that group. Even with the additions of soccer and softball, most schools that have gymnastics plan to continue that program along with soccer and softball. She doesn’t feel it is fair to compare gymnastics to soccer or softball as they are different sports that take different talents and require different skills and abilities. She would also like the Board to consider that we could have Booster Club support for such a program as well.
Murray stated that a Middle School program might be a great place to start such a program to spark interest for later years. She feels that Brandon Valley has done a great job of providing opportunities for our students while still maintaining a low expenditure per student cost. Would gymnastics tip that scale so much in the grand scheme? Other schools do offer it and Murray would like to see Brandon Valley be in that group. She would like the Board to look at “unique and new” opportunities for our students and not just opportunities.
Motion by Rasmussen, seconded by Ode to approve the bills and claims as submitted. Motion carried.

Motion by Ullom, seconded by Rasmussen to approve the financial reports as presented for the month of January, 2010. Motion carried.
Administrative reports were heard. Superintendent David Pappone shared a letter that was sent to the Township Boards thanking them for the work they do to help us keep roads cleared for our busses. Pappone also shared the fiscal year 2011 budget request by President Obama as it relates to education.
Gregg Talcott, High School Principal reported on the 2008 Board of Regents Transition Report and the Brandon Valley High School Summary of that report.
Superintendent Pappone discussed the current Brandon Elementary Music area and Media Center. The rooms are inadequate for the size of the school and it has been in the plans for several years to expand these areas. Concept drawings show the addition of two more music rooms and a new media center west of the “link”. The plans also include adding two changing rooms next to the gym. The location of the new media center and moving the music rooms to the center of the building are very favorable in these plans. After the initial additions of new music rooms and the media center, the current library could then be opened up to become a “commons” area to resemble both Robert Bennis and Fred Assam Elementary commons areas. The money for this would come out of the reserve that is in the Capital Outlay Fund, which is created for these types of projects. The estimate for this project is approximately $1.2 M, which would leave $2 M in our Capital Outlay reserve. Last major construction at Brandon Elementary was with the 1987 addition. The recommendation of the Building Committee is to move forward on this project in the summer of 2010. Motion by Rasmussen, seconded by Egge to approve authorization to seek bids on a music/media center addition to the Brandon Elementary School as recommended by the Buildings and Grounds Committee. Motion carried.
Upon recommendation of the superintendent, the request for formalizing extemporaneous speaking with a coaching position was referred to the Administration for further review.
The addition of Gymnastics as a sponsored activity was discussed. The Board received the recommendation from Activities Director Randy Marso at the last Board of Education meeting and has heard public input at this evening’s meeting. Both Mr. Marso and Mr. Pappone defended the reasoning and timing of the survey that was sent out regarding interest in a gymnastics program. Pappone added that even though it is hard to make a decision based on money, he believes this is the wrong time to add such an expensive program. He also stated that soccer and softball do give us more proportionality between girl’s and boy’s sports; so when we do invest money in new programs, we must keep proportionality in mind. Pappone’s recommendation is that the Board has to consider the financial aspect of adding this as a new sport, and at this time we not move forward with a Gymnastics program. The proposal to add gymnastics died for lack of a motion.
The new Social Studies Curriculum was presented by Curriculum Director, Tanya Czepull. As recommended by Dr. Czepull, motion by Ullom, seconded by Ode to approve the Social Studies Curriculum as presented. Motion carried.

The applicant was in the process of selling a property that she acquired through the estate of her late father. The title company noted a lien against the property for services that were provided to the applicant's mother's first husband both before and after their divorce.

Commissioner Pekas also briefed the Commission on a request to compromise DPNO 50506 in the amount of $850.00. The applicant was in the process of purchasing a home when the lien for rental assistance was noted by the title company. Commissioner Kelly supported allowing the applicant to follow through with the purchase of her home, but felt her obligation to repay the lien still existed. He supported releasing the lien and entering into a separate agreement with the lienee to repay the balance. Commissioner Twedt noted the lienee's income and her need to support her minor children. MOTION by Pekas, seconded by Barth to approve Resolution MC10-05. 4 ayes, Kelly - nay.

PUBLIC COMMENT
Clarence Kooistra, county resident, commended the Commission for their decision to move forward with the Safe Home Project. He suggested that the County partner with the Veterans Administration and allot 12 of the 32 units for homeless veterans. In return, the County could be eligible for an annual subsidy of up to $144,000 from the VA to offset operational costs. Commissioner Twedt explained that the premise of Safe Home is providing housing first to the most chronic homeless to free up money for use on others in need. She did not feel the request fit the model of housing first. Commissioners thanked Mr. Kooistra for his comments.
SURPLUS
Kristin Trana, Sheriff's Office Administrative Coordinator, requested that car #9 be declared surplus for sale. The vehicle received extensive damage in an accident and will not be repaired. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Kelly to declare one (1) 2008 Dodge Durango, car #9, VIN 1D8HB38N68F148341, asset #77650, as surplus for sale by sealed bid and to authorize the Auditor to publish Notice of Sale. 5 ayes.

BRIEFING
Lloyd Olson, Facilities Director, briefed the Commission on natural gas pricing for county buildings. He reported that the fixed rate annual natural gas contract with Constellation Energy is up for renewal and may be cancelled if notice is given by 2/15/10. He reported that after reviewing the prices of other providers, he found that the Mid-American Energy rate for 2009 was approximately 20% less than the 2009 contract rate and 12% less than the 2009 non-contract monthly rate. However, in 2008, their rate was 3.8% higher. Commissioner Kelly noted that the excess cost in 2009 was roughly $36,000. Commissioners discussed the volatility of the market and the ability to more accurately budget for utilities with a fixed rate plan. Mr. Olson recommended continuing with the current supplier, Constellation Energy, because we have the flexibility to enter into a fixed rate contract if desired. MOTION by Pekas, seconded by Barth to stay with Constellation Energy and if necessary to take Mr. Olson's recommendation regarding moving to a fixed rate. 4 ayes, Kelly - nay.
PROPOSAL
Robert Wilson, Assistant Commission Administrative Officer, presented a proposal with Geotek Engineering to conduct a phase 1 environmental site assessment and asbestos survey at the proposed Safe Home Project site at 3rd Street and Minnesota Avenue. The assessment is required for the current funding application as well as for other grants that may be available. The cost for the services will range from $4,645 to $7,510. MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Barth to authorize the Chairman to sign the Acceptance of Proposal with Geotek Engineering & Testing Services, Inc. 5 ayes.
HEARING
The Commission held the scheduled hearing to consider a resolution for the creation of the Minnehaha County Housing and Redevelopment Commission. Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, explained that this would provide a mechanism to allow the County to partner with a private entity providing tax credit financing on certain housing projects. He cautioned that there is a requirement of the Housing and Redevelopment Commission that some percentage of rents be paid as payment in lieu of taxes for property tax purposes. He also noted that if the resolution for the new Housing Commission is approved today, it would not be in full effect until 20 days after adoption of the resolution. This would not prohibit the Housing Commission from beginning work immediately, but Mr. Swanson recommended that any intended action be ratified after the 20 day period. The Housing Commission may be dissolved by the County Commission if needed. Commissioner Twedt thanked the Argus Leader for their positive writings of the Safe Home Project and noted that the key to this project is that every dollar saved on the project will save the taxpayer over time. Commissioner Pekas likened the creation of this Commission to the creation of the Sioux Empire Fair Board by setting up a separate organization to effectuate a purpose that Minnehaha County would like to achieve, and stated that this action will free up some financing options. Commissioner Kelly noted that he has some reservations with creating another department/ organization, but believed the offset would be the potential for a significant savings by working together. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Pekas to approve Resolution MC10-07. 5 ayes.
RESOLUTION MC10-07
