BUDGET WITH CONFIDENCE

Low-price bids don’t always tell the whole truth. Because heavy equipment comes with costs beyond the sticker, from service to repairs to depreciation, and more. That’s why purchasing trade associations endorse Life Cycle Costing as a means to evaluate your agency’s capital equipment purchases.

When bidders disclose Life Cycle Costs, your agency will have more complete information and better options to consider. You’ll be able to budget operations and resources more effectively and minimize risks.

Caterpillar makes Life Cycle Cost proposals easy. Visit govbidspec.com to download bid specs, Life Cycle Cost forms and Scheduled Maintenance forms. Edit them to your agency’s needs and include them with your RFP to bidders.

Butler Machinery can show you the benefits of incorporating Life Cycle Costing into your agency’s RFPs. When you have all the facts, you’ll find Cat equipment delivers lower total costs and better return on investment.

To register for the June 27 summit, call the South Dakota Department of Agriculture at 773-5436. The summit is open to anyone interested in how agriculture impacts South Dakota’s economy. There is no cost to attend.

The Summit will engage participants in a thoughtful conversation on the business of South Dakota agriculture. As our state’s No. 1 industry continues to grow, the Summit will explore how to expand agricultural business – from increasing international trade and ex-ports, to further developing the state’s livestock industry.

The morning keynote speaker will be John Phipps, host of the U.S. Farm Report, followed by a panel discussion on Exporting and International Trade.

Gov. Dennis Dau-gaard will present the 2012 Ag Ambassador award during lunch.

The afternoon will continue with a panel discussion on Livestock De-velopment, followed by an afternoon keynote speech on Succession Plan-ning by Gary Sipiorski of VitaPlus.

The Governor’s Ag Development Summit is made possible with sup-port from Avera Health, Bayer Crop Science, CHS, Dacotah Bank, Farm Credit Services of America, First Dakota National Bank, Pfizer Animal Health, Pioneer, and Sanford Health.Agriculture is South Dakota's No. 1 in-dustry, generating nearly $21 billion in annual economic activity and employ-ing more than 80,000 South Dakotans. The South Dakota Department of Agriculture's mission is to promote, protect, preserve and improve this industry for today and tomorrow.

of County OfficialsIt was a pleasure to see everyone again at the SDACO Spring Workshop! Thanks again to Kris Jacobsen, the Continuing Education Committee, our Associate Members, vendors, sponsors, and many others for all their hard work in making our workshop a success. Thank you all for a job well done.

The 2012 legislative session is now behind us, but implementation of new laws and potential referendums still remain ahead of us. On a national level, one of the many issues the Supreme Court is consider-ing is the constitutionality of the national healthcare law. On our state level, peti-tioners are gathering names to put a new law passed by the legislature to a refer-endum. The political process continues, with twists and turns that affect us all on a daily basis. One minute we’re faced with a difficult development; the next minute American ingenuity resolves another problem and jumps another hurdle. Such is life. As elected officials, we work every day with members of our communities, seeing the best and the worst life has to of-fer, and witnessing the American indomi-table spirit.

I was recently reminded of this through a book I was reading entitled “Homer’s Odyssey” by Gwen Cooper. Not to be confused with the classic, Homer’s “Odys-sey,” – it is the unusual and inspirational story of a little cat that underwent life-sav-ing surgery at 2 weeks of age, which left him completely blind. His owner strug-gled to protect him from what he could not see, until she realized that what he had lost through misfortune he made up through greater strength and keener development of all other senses. Although Homer was blind, his owner soon discovered that his inability to see an obstacle did not prevent him from successfully confronting the unknown with courage and determina-tion. In fact, she found that Homer was a constant inspiration to her. Homer did not hesitate to climb an obstacle, without even knowing how high the climb; and he never hesitated to take a leap, regardless of how far the fall. His objective was always to meet whatever challenge presented itself,

and to simply succeed, whether it was navigating through changing environments, pro-tecting his owner from a dangerous intruder, or surviv-ing 911. Homer was amazing, and an inspiration to others.

Last year Robbin, one of my deputies, came to work one morning greatly upset at the news that her best friend’s husband, a doctor at the Thomas E. Creek VA Medi-cal Center in Amarillo, Texas, had sud-denly suffered an unknown illness. The prognosis was not good, and his survival was doubtful. As the illness progressed, he suffered renal and respiratory failure and pneumonia, and had to be intubated. Meanwhile, his extremities were turning black and decaying. Dr. Benitez had been the chief of ambulatory care for six years at the medical center, and an internist there for 17 years. Although every proce-dure was tried to save his limbs, nothing worked; and, in less than 6 weeks, both hands and both legs at mid-calf had to be amputated. Throughout the ordeal, he refused to give up his goal of returning to work . . . and running again . . . and doing all those things he had done before the illness.

Today he wears prosthetics on his hands and legs and has overcome tremendous obstacles with great courage and determi-nation, and with the unyielding support of his loving wife, family and friends. The story doesn’t end there. Dr. Benitez has returned to work. He talks about his dreams for the future, of riding a bike again, doing a triathlon, swimming, being able to play with his boys, and taking his wife on another honeymoon. When interviewed by a columnist from the Globe-News in Amarillo, TX, Dr. Benitez said that (before the illness) he took life for granted and felt invincible; but that God made him more human. He went on

Karen Romey, Pennington County H & HS Rural Health Training: Learning How to Assess & Strengthen Your

County’s Health Care System Friday, June 15, 2012 9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.

211 E Prospect Avenue, Pierre, SD

In partnership with the National Center for Rural Health Works and the South Dakota Association of Counties, NACo will be conducting a one-day training in Pierre, SD and providing follow-up technical assistance to help rural counties assess their local health needs and improve and strengthen their health care delivery systems.

In addition to the day-long training, NACo will coordinate two follow-up technical assistance calls in 2012 with the training participants to assist them in moving forward with conducting community health needs assessments in their own counties.

The training and follow-up technical assistance activities are designed for county officials, county staff, county hospital administrators and other ap-propriate county representatives who would like to learn how to conduct community health needs assessments, assess their local health needs, and work with local partners to improve and strengthen their health care sys-tems.

Additional Details The specific purpose of the training activities are to enable individuals to provide technical assistance to their own local communities and conduct health care system assessments in any one of the three areas of emphasis: 1) economic impact analysis of the local health sector 2) community health engagement process/strategic health planning 3) health budgeting/feasibil-ity studies for new or expanded health services.

Registered in North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana

Training participants will learn how to: • Identify local health care needs and factors affecting the local delivery of health care • Assess the economic impact of the local health care sector and determine how the health care system can better meet community needs • Strengthen relationships with com-munity partners to improve local health care delivery

Background Information on Com-munity Health Needs Assessments The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires nonprofit hospitals to conduct community health needs assessments to demonstrate they are taking on uncompensated care in their commu-nities. These assessments must take into account input from persons who represent the broad interests of the community served by the hospital fa-cility. County officials and local health departments can be actively engaged in the community health needs assess-ment process and the development of a local implementation strategy to

ensure that the health care safety net burden is shared among local provid-ers.

SDACO President’s Thoughts - Con’t

to say that his dream now is to play catch with his son -- something that he knows, some day, he will be able to do.

We all experience challenges and obsta-cles in our everyday lives. It seems as though our abilities, beliefs, commitment and courage are tested almost every day. President Reagan once said, “The ultimate determinant in the struggle now going on for the world will not be bombs and rock-ets, but a test of wills and ideas – a trial of spiritual resolve; the values we hold, the beliefs we cherish and the ideals to which we are dedicated.” This being an election year, we once again have the privileged opportunity to express our beliefs, and the ideals to which we are dedicated, at the ballot box. The choices we make and the obstacles we overcome will dictate the direction of our nation. With American faith, courage and resolve, we will continue to succeed. As Memorial

Tips, Trends and ResourcesNew 9-1-1 Surcharge Revenue Information1. What is the breakdown of the $1.25 surcharge? 70% or $0.875 will go back to coun-ties30% or $0.375 goes to the 911 Emer-gency Fund

Of the $0.375: 74% or $0.278 goes to the 911 Coordination Fund for NG91126% or $0.097 goes to eligible PSAPs based on population and compliance with administrative rule.

2. How will the State know where to remit each county’s surcharge begin-ning July 2012? The SD Association of County Com-missioners is assisting the SD Depart-ment of Revenue and the SD Depart-

ment of Public Safety in collecting the needed information and documenta-tion from each county to prepare for the new remittance process that takes effect July 2012.

3. How can a county project their surcharge revenue at the new rate? Counties can project their revenue after July 2012 with the following formula:

Total 2011 surcharge collection, divided by $0.75, divided by 12 equals average number of service user lines in their county.

Take that number, times $0.875, times 12 to project your first years collection under the new sur-charge.

Keep in mind for 2012 you will have half a year at $0.75 and half at $0.875.

Some Public Safety Answering Points (PSAPs) may be eligible to receive additional funds (incentive funds) if they serve at least 30,000 people or at least 3 counties with their PSAP. Those amounts are yet to be determined.

4. When can the county or its’ de-signee expect to receive their first surcharge remittance from the State? The first remittance from the State, for July 2012 surcharge, should take place mid to late August. In addition, counties will continue receiving 2nd Quarter surcharge from the telephone companies in the 3rd Quarter.


Tips. Trends and ResourcesSD Public Funds Investment Trust (FIT) Celebrates 20th AnniversarySouth Dakota Public Funds Investment Trust (FIT) is celebrating 20 years of service to local governments! It’s been an amazing process, considering that the program began as a concept and now has 230 Participants. Here are some highlights from FIT’s amazing history:

• 1991 – Former SDML Executive Di-rector Robert Miller is approached about starting an investment pro-gram for local governments. At that time, interest rates were sig-nificantly higher, and some local banks refused deposits from local governments because of collaterali-zation requirements. Bob, with help from Andrea Radke (then SDML Director of Research) surveyed local governments about their interest in creating an investment program. The South Dakota Association of County Commissioners signed on as a co-sponsor.

• September 1991 – Interviews take place to hire service providers for the program. Voyageur Asset Man-agement is hired as investment advi-sor and administrator. Norwest Bank (now Wells Fargo) is hired as Trust Custodian. Andrea Radke is hired to market the program.

• December 1991 – The cities of Burke, Sioux Falls, and Lead be-come FIT’s first Participants. Harley Lux of Lead, Bob Jamison of Sioux Falls, and Rod Hartog of Burke be-come the first Board of Trustees.

• January 1992 – FIT commences business with $400,000 in deposits. The Associated School Boards of South Dakota join the program as a third sponsor.

• March 1992 – The program grows to 27 Participants and $5 million in total assets.

• November 1992 – 58 Participants help push FIT past the goal of $30

million in total assets.• September 1993 – FIT receives the

South Dakota Commerce and Indus-try ABEX Award as South Dakota’s “Best New Business Venture.”

• December 1995 – FIT celebrates reaching the goal of 100 Partici-pants.

• December 1996 – Board of Trus-tees voted at their annual meeting to offer the program to Cooperative Educational Service Units, Sanitary Districts, Water Districts, and Town-ships.

• May 1998 – With the help of over 150 Participants, FIT reached an all time asset high of $117 million!

• June 2000 – FIT’s Government Cash Reserve Fund (GCR) pays its highest interest rate; 6.14%.

• November 2000 – FIT remains on the cutting edge by offering on-line transfer options and introducing their own website, www.sdpfit.org.

• January 2001 – The South Dakota Municipal League assumes distribu-tion responsibility for FIT. Carrie Harer becomes the program’s mar-keter. Voyageur Asset Management remains as Investment Advisor, Wells Fargo continues as Custodian, and Investor’s Management Group (later changed name to WB Capital) is the Administrator.

• December 2001 – FIT celebrates gaining its 200th Participant.

• January 2002 – FIT is 10 years old and serving 200 Participants.

• June 2004 – The Board of Trustees thank Harley Lux for over twelve years of service as he resigns his position as Finance Officer for the City of Lead.

• April 2009 – Due to concerns regarding investments brought about by the economic crisis the sample investment policy was reviewed. After significant revisions it was determined that two separate polices would work best as those entities that invest directly in securities must address more risk issues than the ba-sic investor. The Basic Policy is for those entities that only use deposits (interest bearing checking accounts, savings accounts, and CDs) and FIT. The Advanced Investment Policy is for those entities that invest directly in securities (US Treasuries, GSEs, etc) in addition to deposits and FIT.

Are inmate medical costs draining your county budgets?The South Dakota Association of County Commis-sioners (SDACC) is proud to partner with Correction-al Risk Services (CRS) to offer two programs to help South Dakota counties contain the costs of medical care for county inmates.

Choose from:Inmate Medical Claims Review Service: CRS will perform claims administration management for all county inmates housed in a county jail. Claims admin-istration management will include:

1. Determine if the medical treatment was actually delivered.2. Determine if the medical treatment was medically necessary.3. Provide hospital and physician discounts, where available, through our PPO network.4. Negotiate ‘quick pay’ discounts from providers whenever possible.5. Prepare checks to be sent to hospitals, physicians, and other medical care providers.6. Furnish explanations of payment.7. Provide detailed claims reports.8. Furnish Sheriff Department personnel with Inmate Provider Claim Cards.9. CRS retains a percentage of what they save on the billing. If there are no savings – there are no costs to the county.

Inmate Medical Budget Protector: CRS will provide inmate excess medical insurance for county inmates. The policy will include the Claims Administration Management and the following:

1. A $10,000 deductible per county inmate, per con-tract year.2. A policy limit up to $250,000 (less deductible) per inmate, per contract year.3. Covered charges include: a. Inpatient hospitalization b. Outpatient surgical charges c. Emergency room charges - if followed by a hos-pital admission d. Physicians’ & surgeons’ fees e. Anesthesiologists & radiologists charges, f. Nurses charges g. Diagnostic x-ray & laboratory services h. Dressings, drugs, & medicines dispensed in a hospital or outpatient facility i. Medical conditions such as cancer, heart, kidney, diabetes are covered illnesses j. Accidental injuries, fights, self-inflicted injuries, and attempted suicide.4. No pre-existing medical condition limitations after coverage has been in effect for 72 hours.

NOTE: This is a summary of the plan details. Please call SDACC at (605) 224-4554 for specific details.

Juvenile detention medical costs are also eligible for these programs!

Sheriffs’ departments and county governments are faced with the ever

increasing problem of providing medical, dental, and prescription drug benefits to an inmate population. In

today’s climate of rapidly rising hospital costs, sheriff and county

budgets are stretched beyond limit. Often times those budgets are exceeded

well in advance of year end.

We have over 4 million miles of roadway in the US, making it the largest highway system in the world! Millions of culverts are hidden underneath the roadways to channel water and prevent flooding.

There has been more attention and maintenance work done for above ground infrastructure, while the underground infrastructure is failing due to lack of maintenance and proper asset management practices.

Subsurface Inc. has invested time and money to bring the most technologically advanced trenchless solutions to the forefront to rehabilitate the existing structures without the cost and inconvenience of open cutting and detours.

OUT OF SIGHT OUT OF MIND

We don’t have time for closed roads due to failed structures.

Hydro-Mechanical cleaning restores the drainage capacity of reinforced concrete culverts and corrugated metal culverts. Slip-lining of culverts using Culvert Renews “Thread Lock” design. We offer this culvert liner directly to the end user and provide training for the contractor, state or county that wishes to install them themselves. This solution allows traffic to continue uninterrupted. Cured In Place Pipe (CIPP) is a great option when lining a corroded out metal pipe and hydraulics cannot be sacrificed. RCP Joint Repair and Pipe Rehabilitation - Left unattended, joint separations continue to increase in size and voids created outside the pipe grow until the road bed settles, creating a dip or the road bed fails completely. Internal Void Grouting of External Voids is performed from inside of the reinforced concrete culvert by technicians trained to work in culverts as small in diameter as 24 inches.

Largest City: Woonsocket County Seat: WoonsocketPopulation: 2,355 Organized: 1883Size: 569 square miles

The county, which was named after George W. Sanborn, was founded in 1883. Sanborn was an important figure in South Dakota history as the division superintendent of the Milwaukee Railroad.

During the first election in 1884, Woonsocket, Letcher and Forestburg competed to become county seat, which Woonsocket attained. Rumor was that Woonsocket may have won because the railroad graders held the balance of voting power, but a recount didn’t change the results.

Artesian was originally called Dianna, but this was changed because the town is located in the center of a great natural basin. This town was settled in 1883, incorporated in 1914.

Cuthbert was originally called Espe from a pioneer Norwegian family. There was another town by the same name in the state, so the officials of the Mil-waukee railroad selected another name.

The town of Letcher, South Dakota was first estab-lished in 1882, and incorporated in 1895. Letcher was named after O.T. Letcher, who worked as Assistant Secretary of Dakota Territory and part-owner of the town site.

Woonsocket, the county’s largest town, was found-ed in 1883 by C.H. Prior of Woonsocket, Rhode Island. The town’s proximity to artesian wells and railroad facilities created a booming economy. Settlers named Lake Prior in his honor, and turned the swampy area into a lake. The first water festival was held in 1912.

C.H. Prior is an important figure in South Da-kota history for his work as superintendent of the Milwaukee Rail Line. Railroad companies played an integral part in development and land sales in Dakota Territory. C.H. Prior was a native New Englander, and named many towns he platted after locations in that region of the country.
