Notice is given that the City of Brandon, PO Box 95, Brandon SD 57005 has filed an application for a water permit to connect the Corson Village Sanitary District to the city’s municipal water system as required by ARSD 74:02:01:03.01.

LIEN
Commissioner Pekas, County Aid Lien Liaison, briefed the Commission on a request to compromise DPNO 71555 in the amount of $658.61. The applicant is requesting a release of the lien with no payment. The applicant was the petitioner in an involuntary commitment. Pursuant to SDCL 34-20A-70.1, the county shall be reimbursed for attorney fees by the petitioner, if the petitioner is a family member and financially able to do so. The applicant claims that due to the economic downturn, it would be a financial burden to repay the lien. Commissioner Hajek noted the applicant's assets and explained that the petitioner is responsible for payment of the committal process and did not have to pay for the actual treatment. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Kelly to release DPNO 71555 in full with no payment. 2 ayes, Hajek and Pekas nay. Due to the tie vote, this item will be deferred until 3/2/10.
FINANCING
In 2008, the Commission authorized the issuance of 2009 tax-exempt revenue bonds in the amount of $9.8 million for a project at O'Gorman High School. The project involved two series of bonds. The Series A bonds were for a refinancing, and the Series B were for the construction of a new performing arts center and addition to the High School. The Bonds are to be repaid through pledges and donations over a period of time with prepayments to be applied equally between both series. Sherri Rotert, attorney for the Sioux Falls Catholic School Corporation (SFCS), reported that the SFCS would like to make a principal prepayment, but have been advised by their bond counsel that the payment would remove the tax exempt status of the Series A bonds. They are requesting approval of a waiver to waive compliance with the provisions of the bond documents by applying a disproportional payment to each series in order to keep the tax exempt status of the bonds. MOTON by Pekas, seconded by Barth to authorize the Chairman to sign the Waiver and Consent. 4 ayes.
BRIEFING
Chris Torkelson with Lloyd Companies briefed the Commission on the tax credit financing application for the Safe Home Project, prepared by the Minnehaha County Housing and Redevelopment Commission. The application deadline is 2/26/10, with notice on whether the application is approved or denied by early May. Commissioner Kelly reported that the HRDC met and elected officers and is awaiting a decision on the tax credits. Commissioner Barth noted the design change since the last concept. Sue Roust, Auditor, commented on the challenges in comparing the cost between conventional financing and the tax credit approach. She reported that a fair comparison indicates that conventional financing would cost about $75,000/yr more, but expressed concerns on additional obligations of future commissions for this project and discussed some of the requirements of the HRDC bylaws which could create additional expenses. Commissioner Kelly explained that there is the potential for additional positions with the HRDC, but this is not the intent for now. Hugh Grogan, Human Services Director, did not feel there were a lot of other options available due to the loss of other grant funding opportunities.

LIEN
Commissioner Pekas, County Aid Lien Liaison, briefed the Commission on a request to compromise DPNO 71555 in the amount of $658.61. The applicant is requesting a release of the lien with no payment. The applicant was the petitioner in an involuntary commitment. Pursuant to SDCL 34-20A-70.1, the county shall be reimbursed for attorney fees by the petitioner, if the petitioner is a family member and financially able to do so. The applicant claims that due to the economic downturn, it would be a financial burden to repay the lien. Commissioner Hajek noted the applicant's assets and explained that the petitioner is responsible for payment of the committal process and did not have to pay for the actual treatment. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Kelly to release DPNO 71555 in full with no payment. 2 ayes, Hajek and Pekas nay. Due to the tie vote, this item will be deferred until 3/2/10.
FINANCING
In 2008, the Commission authorized the issuance of 2009 tax-exempt revenue bonds in the amount of $9.8 million for a project at O'Gorman High School. The project involved two series of bonds. The Series A bonds were for a refinancing, and the Series B were for the construction of a new performing arts center and addition to the High School. The Bonds are to be repaid through pledges and donations over a period of time with prepayments to be applied equally between both series. Sherri Rotert, attorney for the Sioux Falls Catholic School Corporation (SFCS), reported that the SFCS would like to make a principal prepayment, but have been advised by their bond counsel that the payment would remove the tax exempt status of the Series A bonds. They are requesting approval of a waiver to waive compliance with the provisions of the bond documents by applying a disproportional payment to each series in order to keep the tax exempt status of the bonds. MOTON by Pekas, seconded by Barth to authorize the Chairman to sign the Waiver and Consent. 4 ayes.
BRIEFING
Chris Torkelson with Lloyd Companies briefed the Commission on the tax credit financing application for the Safe Home Project, prepared by the Minnehaha County Housing and Redevelopment Commission. The application deadline is 2/26/10, with notice on whether the application is approved or denied by early May. Commissioner Kelly reported that the HRDC met and elected officers and is awaiting a decision on the tax credits. Commissioner Barth noted the design change since the last concept. Sue Roust, Auditor, commented on the challenges in comparing the cost between conventional financing and the tax credit approach. She reported that a fair comparison indicates that conventional financing would cost about $75,000/yr more, but expressed concerns on additional obligations of future commissions for this project and discussed some of the requirements of the HRDC bylaws which could create additional expenses. Commissioner Kelly explained that there is the potential for additional positions with the HRDC, but this is not the intent for now. Hugh Grogan, Human Services Director, did not feel there were a lot of other options available due to the loss of other grant funding opportunities.
