BRIEFING
Ben Kyte, Auditor, gave a briefing on the upcoming debt issuance and refinancing. On August 25, 2020, the Minnehaha County Commission adopted Resolution 20-59 authorizing the issuance of up to $25,000,000 in bonds to finance the construction of a new Highway Shop and to complete a remodeling of the Extension Building. Initial financing was issued on December 1, 2020, to complete the projects. Tegra, Construction Manager at Risk, has been able to provide the County with cash flow forecast as the projects have progressed to allow the Auditor’s Office to finalize the funding needs to complete the projects. The forecast shows a need for approximately $6,000,000 of additional funding to complete these two projects with funding needed by the end of March, 2022. The Auditor’s Office is recommending a bond issuance of $6,000,000 for issuance on or before February 28, 2022. Additionally, the Auditor’s Office has reviewed the outstanding bonds that eligible for refinancing to determine if more favorable interest rates could be achieved. One bond has been identified as a candidate for refinancing and result in interest expense savings of more than $100,000 over the remaining term of this bond. Commission action will be requested at the January 4, 2022, meeting.
Ben Kyte, Auditor, gave a briefing on the legislative redistricting process for Minnehaha County. The Auditor’s Office is responsible for maintaining the Minnehaha County voter registration database which allows staff to not only identify registered voters but also correctly identify which legislative district the voter is assigned to. The state legislative districts are reviewed and redrawn as necessary in conjunction with the decennial census as required by the South Dakota Constitution. The new legislative district boundaries were completed by the South Dakota Legislature on November 10, 2021. With the boundary information available, the Auditor’s Office will need to adjust the voter registration database to reflect the new legislative district for the affected voters. The Auditor’s Office conservatively estimates that 60,000 registered voters may be affected by the boundary changes. To complete the update to the voter registration database, staff will be working with County GIS staff to develop and apply new voter splits that will assign the voters to the correct legislative district. The process is anticipated to be completed by no later than February 28th.

TREASURER’S OFFICE PROJECT
Tyler Klatt, Assistant Commission Administrative Officer, gave a briefing on the process improvement recommendations from Dr. Tracy for the Treasurer’s Office. Dr. Tracy proposed 24 recommendations to improve service at the Treasurer’s Office. The recommendations generally fit within three categories: personnel, policies, and infrastructure. Additional data analysis was performed to track the number of transactions, number citizens paying property taxes, number of vehicle registration renewal, and the number of citizens who did not have the right documents. Of the 24 recommendations, 12 have been completed with 12 recommendations that have either been started or not yet to be started. The following items have been started under the infrastructure recommendations: replace printers with a printer/scanner/copiers and retire the large copier; add window 13 (south of window 12) and convert window 1 to ADA compliance; relocate back of house (BOH) staff to facilitate security, facilitate a new window, and ensure quieter space for main phone lines; 2 drawer filing cabinet for current tax freeze records; and create a simple documentation sign (using current COVID sign frames) for available services at both main entrances (no cost). The following items have not been started under the infrastructure recommendations: convert window 2 to be vehicle tag renewal/property tax only; movable triage information desk and sign to be used during peak periods; add signage in hallway for “time to service” markers on ceiling; and relocate decal printers within pairs of pods and pairs of BOH office.
