Carey Deaver, Human Resources Director, was present to request that the Commission authorize a health/dental insurance premium holiday for one pay period in September. Health claims in the first six months of 2010 were $220,000 lower than for the same time period in 2009, and the balance in the Health Insurance Fund has increased by $590,000 from January 1 to June 30, 2010. If premiums are not collected for one pay period, employees will save about $50,000 and the county will save $116,000. This would reduce the balance in the Health Insurance Fund by $166,000. MOTION by Pekas, seconded by Twedt to authorize one health/dental insurance premium holiday in September. 5 ayes.
LIEN
Pursuant to deferral on July 13th, Commissioners again considered a request from Dean Wilson to compromise DPNO 8703 in the amount of $1,279.82. Mr. Wilson is trying to clear the title on Lot 1 in Block 7 of Sherman, which he bought through a tax certificate, and $372.40 of the lien was incurred by a former owner of that property. He contends that an earlier title search did not reveal the lien, so he was unaware of its existence when he bought the property. Gordy Swanson, Chief Civil Deputy State's Attorney, advised Commissioners that the fault in this situation lies with the title company, and that when a person buys a property through a tax certificate, they are responsible for researching any claims or liens on the property. MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Barth, to deny the compromise request. 5 ayes.
AGREEMENT
MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Pekas, to authorize the Chairman to sign the HIPAA Business Associate Agreement between Minnehaha County and the SD Dept of Human Services, Division of Alcohol & Drug Abuse. 5 ayes. The agreement was requested because the state provides partial funding for the Detox program.
POLICY
Sue Roust, County Auditor, requested approval of revisions to the county Purchasing Card Policy, which would decrease the department head transaction approval deadline to two days after the billing cycle closes, and add wording to the cardholder agreements acknowledging that computer hardware and software purchases cannot be made without prior approval by the IT Director. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Twedt to approve the revised Minnehaha County Purchasing Card Policy. 5 ayes.
PLANNING
This was the scheduled time for the Commission to consider an appeal of a Planning Commission decision to deny Conditional Use Permit #10-28 to allow a Class 1 Major Home Occupation of a Garbage Hauling Business, Truck Repair, and Truck and Dumpster Storage at Hofer Tracts 1 & 2 (Ex H-1) SW 1/4 Section 15-T101N-R51W, 46350 265th Street. Tom Clayton, attorney for applicants Cindy Swier and R&S Sanitation, Inc., requested deferral to August 17th, when both he and his clients can be present. No one else wished to speak on this item. MOTION by Pekas, seconded by Twedt to defer consideration of the appeal on denial of CUP #10-28 to August 17, 2010. 5 ayes.
Scott Anderson, Planning Director, was present for consideration of an appeal of the Planning Commission decision to approve Conditional Use Permit #10-37, with eight conditions, to allow a 400 head (Class C) Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation (CAFO) at S 1/2 NW 1/4 & NE 1/4 SW 1/4 & NW 1/4 SE 1/4 of Section 27-T103N-R50W. Mr. Anderson reported that Karin Renner, an adjacent property owner, has appealed the decision to approve CUP #10-37. In February 2007, the County Commission approved CUP #06-65 for a 999 animal unit CAFO on this property. The applicant did not construct the proposed feeding operation and CUP #06-65 expired. The current application is for a 400 head dairy heifer feeding operation. There would be no building and the heifers would be on a concrete slab with cornstalk bedding.
Lynn Boadwine spoke on behalf of the applicant, Scott Swanson. The heifers to be fed belong to Mr. Boadwine. He stated that this operation fits well into the county comprehensive plan, would be in full compliance with county ordinances, is in the middle of a section with no homes in the setback area except Mr. Swanson's, and is similar in size to many comparable operations within the county.
Karin Renner spoke in opposition to CUP #10-37. She expressed concerns about threats to air and water quality and stated that Lyons Township already has more CAFOs than any other township in the county. She requested that condition #2 be changed to allow zero release of waste, and that condition #8 be changed to require that semi-solid and solid waste be incorporated within 24 hours. She also asked that the setback requirement be increased.
Mr. Boadwine stated that this is a medium sized CAFO and is not subject to the Dept of Natural Resources non-discharge requirement which applies to large CAFOs. Kris Swanson, wife of the applicant, stated that their children want to be farmers and keep the property in agricultural production. She noted that no one protested a nearby hog CAFO.
Mary Brendtro, whose family farm is near the proposed CAFO, spoke as an opponent and stated that if she had been notified of the nearby hog CAFO, she would have opposed it as well.
MOTION by Twedt, seconded by Barth, to uphold the Planning Commission decision to approve Conditional Use Permit #10-37, with eight conditions. AMENDMENT by Kelly, seconded by Pekas, to add to condition 8 "Semi-solid and solid waste shall be incorporated within 24 hours. Surface application of solid and frozen waste shall be allowed as specified by the South Dakota General Permit." AMENDMENT TO THE AMENDMENT by Kelly, seconded by Pekas, to change condition 2 to say "allow zero release of waste" instead of "minimize release of waste". Kelly and Pekas yes; Barth, Twedt, and Hajek no; amendment to the amendment fails. VOTE on the amendment to condition 8: Kelly and Pekas yes; Barth, Twedt, and Hajek no; amendment fails. VOTE on original motion: Barth, Twedt, and Hajek yes; Kelly and Pekas no; motion carries. The decision to approve CUP #10-37 is upheld with the following conditions:
1) The facility shall be limited to a 400 animal unit concentrated animal feeding operation for dairy heifers.
2) The facility shall be designed to minimize release of waste into the drainage channel that flows southwest of the proposed site.
3) The operator shall maintain inspection and maintenance records on animal waste facilities, and records on compliance with the waste and nutrient management plan and odor and pest control plan. Copies shall be filed annually with the County.
4) The petitioner shall prepare a nutrient management plan and shall keep the plan up-to-date, and shall manage all waste from the facility in conformance with that plan. The petitioner shall prepare an executive summary of the nutrient management plan and file that summary with the Minnehaha County Planning Office. A new summary shall be prepared for the Planning Office each time that the plan is up-dated. A copy of the complete nutrient management plan as approved by the State shall be provided to the Planning Office upon request.
5) Dead animals shall be promptly removed from the site according to South Dakota regulations.
6) A registered professional engineer shall inspect the facility during construction and certify to the County that the newly constructed facility conforms with the approved plans and to South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources designs standards.
7) Trees shall be planted on the north and west sides of the facility. A complete planting plan shall be prepared for approval by the county planning staff. All trees shall be planted and maintained according to the Minnehaha Conservation District standards. Any trees that die shall be replaced within one growing season.
8) All application of liquid waste shall be injected into the ground. Surface application of liquid waste may be allowed only in extraordinary circumstances upon approval of the Planning Director after the petitioner has requested approval for such application in writing including the location on which the waste will be incorporated, the date of the proposed application and the amounts of waste to be applied. The petitioner will meet all setback requirements for waste application as specified in the county zoning ordinance.
