John Irvine, Building Official, presented an overview of the Contractor Licensing Ordinance. The Ordinance was introduced on May 8^th. He explained that he has not received any negative comments, only a few clarification questions. John explained that he made a couple of changes to the Ordinance to replace the “Building Official” with “City of Pierre” for the administrative appeal process. The Ordinance is actually sponsored by and being brought forward by the Contractors. It provides protection for the consumers. The contractors would be licensed through the City like other electricians, plumbers, etc. Jim Glover commented that his experience is that consumers don’t realize there is no licensing required by the City or State. Mayor Gill commented that we are looking for first reading and then we’d bring the Ordinance back for second reading in 2 weeks. Commissioner Harding gave first reading to AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 11-2-111 OF ORDINANCE NO 1265 OF THE CITY OF PIERRE, HUGHES COUNTY, SD, RELATING TO THE ADOPTION OF AN ORDINANCE TO PROVIDE FOR THE LICENSING OF RESIDENTIAL CONTRACTORS.

Leon Schochenmaier, City Administrator, presented the bids received for the Fairway Drive Drainage Project and recommended award to the lowest bidder. As a result of the Commission’s recommendation, the City surveyed property owners on Fairway Drive regarding replacement of their culverts and most chose to be included. Funding for the project will come from the Storm Drainage Fund. Bids were received from AGE Corporation for $32,176.50, Morris Inc for $65,119.53, Sharpe Enterprises for $76,476, Aaron Rose Construction for $72,966.82, Anderson Contractors for $76,382, and Central Caissons $35,360. Commissioner Huizenga moved and Commissioner Goodman seconded to award bids for the Fairway Drive Drainage Project to AGE Corporation for $32,176.50. Unanimous approval.

De Costello, Pierre Mall, presented a request to hold the Mac’s Carnival at the Pierre Mall parking lot June 21-24^th. De explained that they have the same plan as previous years. Commissioner Harding moved and Commissioner Mehlhaff seconded to approve Mac’s Carnival at the Pierre Mall June 21-24^th. Unanimous approval.

Rob Fines, Hughes/Stanley County Emergency Management Director, presented information on changes to the existing Siren Policy related to severe weather warnings. Rob explained that he is proposing to change the notification to sound the siren when a warning has been issued by the National Weather Service. Currently, when storms are approaching, the National Weather Service contacts Emergency Management and when possible storms are confirmed storm chasers are alerted. Sirens were only sounded when storm chasers have confirmed a storm threat. When sudden storms pop up, this system doesn’t allow enough advance warning of impending weather. The siren system has been upgraded and has much more capability than before. The sirens are intended to notify people that are outside and away from radio or television notification systems. They are not intended for persons inside buildings or structures. Mayor Gill commented that she has received many comments regarding hearing sirens and instructions from indoors. Outdoor people are the most vulnerable and the warning system is designed for alerting them to the possible threat. Rob closed by explaining that he wanted the Commission and public to know there is a change to the existing procedure for sounding the sirens and there might be questions regarding the increased frequency of the sirens because they will be sounded any time a warning is issued, not just when a storm chaser has identified a probably threat.

Leon Schochenmaier, City Administrator, presented a request to approve the Library Expansion and Remodel Contract with TSP for preliminary design services for $48,000. TSP was selected as the architect for the project as a result of proposals and presentations received. The project has two parts – one for the expansion and one for the HVAC and electrical system upgrades needed. In preparing the contract, it was decided that it was best to create plans only to a preliminary design stage which is approximately 40% of total design. This will allow the Library to begin fundraising. The project currently doesn’t have full funding in place. Commissioner Mehlhaff moved and Commissioner Harding seconded to approve the Library Expansion & Remodel Contract for preliminary Design services with TSP for $48,000. Unanimous approval.

Commissioner Huizenga moved and Commissioner Goodman seconded to adjourn. 6:26pm Unanimous approval.
