RECOMMENDATIONS FOR APPOINTING VOLUNTEERS
The following recommendation has been approved by the SDML Workers’ Compensation Fund’s Board of Trustees
to be used as guidelines to consider when appointing volunteer positions. It does not guarantee, assure, or warrant in
any way that the Member is in compliance with any Federal, State, or local laws, statutes or regulations and does not
carry the force of legal opinion.









The Minimum age of a Volunteer should be eighteen (18)
If someone under the aforementioned Minimum age of eighteen (18) that the Federal Child Labor laws are used
to define any job functions
There is someone in a supervisory position to oversee and offer guidance to Volunteer
Training has been offered to Volunteer
A ‘job description’ is available to outline the duties of said Volunteer
All Volunteers are listed in the entities minutes pursuant to SDCL 62-1-5.1 including the fire department and
ambulance service rosters. An easy way to make the entry in the council/commission meeting minutes is
for the Finance Officer/Auditor/HR person/ Emergency Manager (the person in charge of appointing
volunteers) to recognize the volunteers at the next council/commission meeting. The entry in the minutes
could read something like this: “Volunteers for (the Name of your Entity) for (Date) 2014 were
recognized and it is the intent of the City Council/County Commission to cover these volunteers for work
comp purposes. The list is on file at the (your office that keeps records on file)”.
In an emergency situation, a sign in sheet is available to have each Volunteer sign their name, Social Security
number, the time that they are checking in, and a time when they leave. These lists need to be entered into the
minutes at the end of the emergency

SDCL 62-1-5.1 Volunteers serving state or political subdivision without pay – Computing or imputing wage –
Certain persons not deemed volunteers.
Any volunteer worker rendering services in or for any agency, department, institution, or instrumentality of the state
or of any of its political subdivisions, including counties, townships, school districts, or municipalities, whose
services have been duly recommended to the officer or appointed thereto by such officers or governing body,
shall for purposes of this title be deemed an employee of the state or the political subdivision, as the case may be.
The appointment shall be entered into the official records or minutes of the entity.
In the event of injury or death, for the purposes of computing compensation for volunteer workers other than
volunteer firefighters, a volunteer uncompensated worker’s employment earnings from all sources during the last six
months of employment shall be used. In the event the volunteer uncompensated worker has never been employed,
the worker shall be considered to be earning the state minimum wage over a forty-hour week. The worker’s average
weekly wage shall be calculated by one of the methods in §§ 62-4-25 to 62-4-27, inclusive. In no event may
payments to volunteer uncompensated workers exceed the maximum limitations for benefits as set out in this title.
No local prisoner, state inmate, or federal inmate providing services to the state or any of its political subdivisions
may be considered a volunteer worker under this section.
Rating Basis
If such “Volunteer” receives any remuneration for services, that compensation will be included in the correct
classification at audit to determine the Members actual payroll. This said remuneration then eliminates the
“Volunteer” status of said individual and they become an employee. All “Volunteers” must be shown in the
Members minutes.

Proposed or Possible Action:

Motion and second to approve second reading and final adoption of Ordinance No. 26-10-03

Overview:

A presentation on additional funding for the Water Tower and Transmission Line Project was held on
June 22, 2026, at which time the City Council approved Resolution 26-06-07R authorizing an application
for Drinking Water Facilities Funding in the amount not to exceed $2,500,000. from the South Dakota
Board of Watern and Natural Resources for the Project. A public hearing regarding the Water Tower and
Transmission Line Project was held on July 6, 2026.
In September of 2026 the City was approved for $2,500,000 in Drinking Water State Revolving Fund
(SRF) loans with an expected loan rate of 3.75% and a 20 year term. A separate Ordinance, Ordinance
26-10-04, will establish the surcharge associated with this loan.
First reading of Ordinance 26-10-03 occurred on October 26, 2027, and was approved unanimously. No
changes are proposed for second reading.

Financial Consideration:

The ordinance will authorize up to $2,500,000 of revenue bonds for the Water Tower Improvement
Project. The Ordinance provides for the Mayor, Finance Officer, City Attorney and other City officials to
execute and deliver the necessary documents to complete the transaction. Funding for the project is the
SRF loan which will be paid back with revenue derived from a surcharge. The Water Fund will budget
for the debt service of the bond.

which payments, revenues and receipts are hereby and in the Loan Agreement pledged
and assigned for the equal and ratable payments of the Revenue Bond and shall be used
for no other purpose than to pay the principal, interest and Administrative Surcharge on

Agreement (including the purpose of securing Additional Bonds issued as permitted by
3

City of Aberdeen Council Agenda

the terms thereof). The City covenants and agrees to charge rates for all services from
the Project or establish special charges or surcharges which will be sufficient to provide
for the payments upon the Revenue Bond issued hereunder as and when the same become
due, and as may be necessary to provide for the operation and maintenance and repairs of
the Project, and depreciation, and the Rate Ordinance shall be revised from time to time
so as to produce these amounts. The City hereby reserves the right to determine on a
periodic basis the appropriate allocation of operation and maintenance expenses,
depreciation, repair and reserves associated with the facilities financed with the Revenue
Bond, provided that such determination of allocable operation and maintenance expenses
shall in no event abrogate, abridge or otherwise contravene the covenant of the City set
forth in this Section 3 or any other covenant or agreement in the Loan Agreement.
SECTION 4. Special Charge or Surcharge for Revenue Bond. The City does hereby create
the Revenue Bond Special-Surcharge District (the “Surcharge District”) which shall include all
users which benefit from the Project. There shall be charged a special charge or surcharge
pursuant to Section 15 of the Act for the services provided by Project financed by the Revenue
Bond. The special charge or surcharge shall be segregated from other revenues of the System and
shall be used for the payment of the Revenue Bond. The special charge or surcharge shall create
net income, remaining from time to time after first paying all reasonable and current expenses of
maintenance, repairs, replacements, and operation, sufficient to fund interest, reserve and debt
service fund annual requirements and shall be 110% of the debt service requirements on the
Revenue Bond.

charge or surcharge for the Project. This special charge or surcharge shall remain in
effect until such time as the Revenue Bond is defeased or paid in full.
4.2. Initial Surcharge. The initial special charge or surcharge shall be set by
Ordinance and collected at the same time as other charges of the utility. All users within
the Surcharge District which benefit from the Project, current and future, shall be charged
the special charge or surcharge. The special charge or surcharge is found to be equitable
for the services provided by the Project. The special charge or surcharge shall begin at
such time as will produce sufficient revenue to pay principal, interest, and Administrative
Surcharge on the Revenue Bond when due.
4.3. Segregation. The Finance Officer shall set up bookkeeping accounts in
accordance with South Dakota Legislative Audit guidelines for the segregation of the
revenue, special charges, and surcharges.
4.4. Periodic review. The amount of the surcharge shall be reviewed from time
to time, not less than yearly, and shall be modified in order to produce such funds as are
necessary and required to comply with the Loan Agreement’s rate covenant and to pay
principal of, interest and Administrative Surcharge on the Revenue Bond when due. The
4

issuance of, or impairing the lien of, such additional parity bonds with respect to the net revenues
or income from the extensions, additions or improvements. The City shall have the right to issue
additional bonds secured by a lien subordinate to the lien from the Revenue Bond pursuant to the
Loan Agreement.

Agenda Item Title:

Possible second reading and final adoption of Ordinance No. 26-10-05 establishing utility customer
classifications, water service types, and conforming solid waste provisions.

Proposed or Possible Action:

Motion and second to approve second reading and final adoption of Ordinance No. 26-10-05 amending
Chapters 54 and 44 of the Aberdeen City Code regarding utility customer classifications, water service
types, and related solid waste provisions.

Overview:

The proposed ordinance establishes a consistent customer-classification framework for municipal utility
and solid waste administration. The five classifications are Residential, Multifamily Residential,
Commercial, Institutional, and Industrial. The ordinance also separates customer classification from water
service type, including domestic or general, irrigation, and bulk water service.
The purpose of the classification framework is to improve the quality and consistency of customer data
used for billing administration, cost-of-service analysis, rate studies, and utility planning. Classification
does not, by itself, establish or change a utility rate. Rates and charges applicable to any customer
classification must be established in accordance with the Charter, City Code, and other applicable law.
A draft Utility Customer Classification Policy is included with the first-reading materials for Council
review. The policy provides the administrative standards the Finance Office would use to interpret and
apply the classifications established by ordinance, including classification factors, common examples,
mixed-use premises, reclassification, water service types, and the administrative appeal process. Staff
intends to bring the policy back for formal Council approval at a future meeting following second reading
and adoption of the ordinance.
Following adoption of the ordinance and subsequent Council approval of the policy, the Finance Officer,
or designee, would administer classification and reclassification decisions under the ordinance and policy.
The Finance Office may maintain procedures, forms, examples, and internal guidance necessary for
implementation, provided those materials remain consistent with the ordinance and Council-approved
policy.
A customer aggrieved by a classification or reclassification decision may appeal the decision to the City
Manager, who would serve as the final administrative appeal authority for purposes of this process.
Chapter 44 is also amended so the same customer classifications can be used consistently for solid waste
administration. Residential premises remain eligible for municipal collection. Multifamily Residential,

Commercial, Institutional, and Industrial premises generally arrange collection through licensed

and collection provisions are updated to conform to the new terminology.
The ordinance and draft policy do not modify the City's industrial wastewater pretreatment classifications
or requirements.
Ordinance 26-10-05 was approved unanimously at first reading on October 26, 2026, and no changes are
recommended by staff prior to second reading.

Financial Consideration:

The ordinance does not change current utility rates or establish new fees. Implementation will primarily
involve review and maintenance of customer classifications within the utility billing system. The
improved classifications are intended to provide more reliable information for future cost-of-service and
rate analyses.
Any future proposal to change utility rates based on these classifications would require separate City
Council action in accordance with the Charter, City Code, and other applicable law.

ORDINANCE NO. 26-10-05
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 54 – UTILITIES
AND CHAPTER 44 - SOLID WASTE OF THE
ABERDEEN CITY CODE REGARDING
UTILITY CUSTOMER CLASSIFICATIONS
AND WATER SERVICE TYPES
WHEREAS, the City of Aberdeen has completed a water and sewer rate study
identifying the need to improve utility customer classifications for rate analysis, cost-ofservice evaluation, and utility administration; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to establish consistent customer classifications for
municipal utility purposes while allowing rates and service requirements to vary by utility,
customer classification, service type, consumption, meter size, wastewater characteristics, or
other appropriate factors; and
WHEREAS, the City further desires to distinguish customer classification from the
nature or purpose of water service, including irrigation and bulk water service.
BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF ABERDEEN, SD, THAT THE FOLLOWING
CHANGES AND ADDITIONS SHALL BE MADE TO THE ABERDEEN CITY CODE:
1.
New Sections 54-4, 54-5, and 54-6 are hereby added to Chapter 54 - UTILITIES,
Article I - IN GENERAL, and the remainder of the Chapter to be left unaffected except as
otherwise set forth in this ordinance:
Sec. 54-4. Utility customer classifications.
(a)
Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish uniform customer classifications
for the administration of municipal utility services, maintenance and analysis of customer and
consumption data, preparation of cost-of-service and rate studies, and administration of utility rates
and charges established in accordance with applicable law. Assignment of a customer or premises
to a utility customer classification does not, by itself, establish a different rate or charge. Rates and
charges applicable to any customer classification shall be established in accordance with the charter,
this code, and other applicable law.

(b)
Definitions. The following words, terms, and phrases, when used in this article, shall
have the meaning provided herein, except where the context clearly indicates otherwise:
Residential customer means a customer receiving utility service for premises

schools, colleges, and universities, hospitals, medical and health care facilities, churches and
other houses of worship, charitable organizations, and nonprofit community or recreational
facilities.
Industrial customer means a customer receiving utility service for premises used
primarily for manufacturing, processing, fabrication, production, assembly, or a similar
industrial activity.
Dwelling unit has the meaning provided in chapter 60 of this Code.
Mixed-use premises means premises containing two or more uses that would
otherwise qualify for different customer classifications.
(c)
Customer classifications. For purposes of chapters 44 and 54 of this Code, the
following customer classifications are established:
(1)

Residential;

(2)

Multifamily residential;

(3)

Commercial;

(4)

Institutional; and

(5)

Industrial.

(d)
Assignment of customer classification. The Finance Officer shall assign each utility
account to the customer classification that most reasonably reflects the use and utility service
characteristics of the premises.
(1)

In making a classification determination, the Finance Officer may consider:
a.

The number and type of dwelling units;

The primary use of the premises;

City of Aberdeen Council Agenda
November 2, 2026

Page 2 of 7
Ordinance No. 26-10-05

Page 45 of 100

Page 46 of 100

The use served by each utility meter or account;

Historical or reasonably anticipated utility consumption;

Wastewater flow, loading, or characteristics;

Metering configuration;

The presence of residential and nonresidential uses;

The nature and intensity of the activity conducted on the premises; and

Other information reasonably related to the utility service provided.

No single factor shall be determinative of customer classification.
(2)

A customer classification need not correspond to the zoning classification,
property tax classification, building occupancy classification, or other
governmental designation applicable to the premises.

(3)

Where separate utility meters or utility accounts serve different uses within a
mixed-use premises, each separately served use may be assigned the
customer classification applicable to that use.

(4)

Where two or more uses are served through a common meter or utility account,
the account shall be assigned to the customer classification that most
reasonably reflects the predominant use and utility service characteristics of
the premises. Mixed-use premises are not a separate customer classification.

(5)

A for-profit business primarily providing retail, professional, personal, fitness,
wellness, recreational, or similar services to customers or members for
compensation shall be classified as commercial unless the primary use of the
premises otherwise qualifies as an institutional use under this section.

(6)

In determining whether a premises is commercial or institutional, the city may
consider the primary function of the premises, the nature of the services
provided, applicable licensure or regulatory status, organizational purpose, and
other relevant characteristics. Ownership, nonprofit status, or tax-exempt
status alone shall not determine classification.

(7)

Classification as an industrial customer under this section does not, by itself,
constitute classification as a significant industrial user under Article III of this
chapter or modify any requirement of the city's industrial waste pretreatment
program.

(e)
Reclassification. The Finance Officer may reclassify a utility account when the use of
the premises, number of dwelling units, metering configuration, or other relevant service
characteristics change, when information demonstrates that the existing classification is incorrect, or
when reclassification is otherwise reasonably necessary for administration of a municipal utility.
(f)

Application to rates and charges.

Page 47 of 100

(1)

The city council may establish utility rates, rate blocks, consumption charges,
customer service charges, surcharges, credits, or other utility charges that
differ based upon customer classification, meter size, consumption, service
type, wastewater characteristics, or other reasonable factors related to the
service provided, in accordance with the Charter, this Code, and other
applicable law.

(2)

Nothing in this section requires a different rate or charge for each customer
classification, requires each municipal utility to use every customer
classification established in this section, or requires each municipal utility to
use the same rate structure or rate factors. Two or more customer
classifications may be subject to the same rate or rate schedule.

(g)
Appeal to City Manager. A customer aggrieved by a classification or reclassification
decision of the Finance Officer may appeal the decision to the City Manager in accordance with
administrative policies and procedures adopted by the city. The City Manager shall serve as the final
administrative appeal authority for classification and reclassification decisions under this section. The
Finance Officer may adopt policies and procedures consistent with this section for the classification
and reclassification of utility accounts.
Sec. 54-5. Water service types.
(a)
In addition to the customer classifications established in section 54-4, the city may
designate one or more water service types for purposes of billing, metering, rate administration,
system planning, and analysis.
(b)
A water service type describes the nature or purpose of water service and is not a
separate utility customer classification. A customer may receive more than one water service type.
(c)

Water service types may include:
(1)

Domestic or general water service means metered water furnished for ordinary
residential, multifamily residential, commercial, institutional, industrial, or other
general purposes.

(2)

Irrigation service means water service used primarily for landscape irrigation
or other approved outdoor purposes, whether provided through a separate
meter or other metering arrangement approved by the city.

(3)

facility, hydrant, filling station, or other location or method approved by the city
for transport or use away from the point of delivery.

(4)

Such other water service types as may be established by the city council in
accordance with the Charter, this Code, and other applicable law.

(d)
Different water service types may be subject to different rates, charges, meter
requirements, conditions of service, or methods of calculating consumption as established by the city
council in accordance with the Charter, this Code, and other applicable law.
Sec. 54-6. Utility billing adjustments and payment arrangements.
(a)

The Finance Officer may correct or adjust any municipal utility or related service

charge resulting from a billing error, inaccurate account information, leak, equipment failure, or other
unusual circumstance recognized by administrative policy.
(b)
Notwithstanding other collection provisions of this chapter, the Finance Officer may
approve a payment arrangement for an unusually large or delinquent utility account in accordance
with administrative policy and may defer collection or discontinuance of service while the customer
remains in compliance.
(c)
The Finance Officer may waive or adjust administrative charges arising from a billing
error, account correction, or approved payment arrangement.
(d)

UTILITY CUSTOMER CLASSIFICATION AND BILLING ADMINISTRATION POLICY

1. Purpose
This policy establishes administrative standards and procedures for applying the utility customer
classifications established by section 54-4 of the Aberdeen City Code and for administering utility billing
adjustments and payment arrangements authorized by section 54-6.
The purpose of the policy is to promote consistent classification of utility accounts, improve customer and
consumption data, support cost-of-service and rate analysis, and provide a uniform framework for
classification, billing adjustments, and payment arrangements.
This policy does not establish utility rates, fees, service levels, or other substantive utility policy.

2. General Classification Standard
Each utility account shall be assigned to the customer classification that most reasonably reflects the primary
use and utility service characteristics of the premises.
In making a classification determination, the Finance Officer, or designee, may consider:
• the number and type of dwelling units;
• the presence of residential and nonresidential
uses;
• the primary use of the premises;
• the nature and intensity of activities conducted
• the use served by each utility meter or account;
on the premises;
• historical or reasonably anticipated utility
• applicable licensing or regulatory status; and
consumption;
• other information reasonably related to the
• wastewater flow, loading, or characteristics;
utility service provided.
• metering configuration;
Except where otherwise established by the customer classification definitions, no single factor shall
determine customer classification.
A utility classification does not need to correspond to the zoning classification, property tax classification,
building occupancy classification, or other governmental designation applicable to the property.
3. Residential Customer
A Residential customer is a customer receiving utility service for premises containing not more than two
dwelling units and used primarily for residential purposes.

City of Aberdeen Council Agenda
November 2, 2026

Page 1

Page 51 of 100

Page 52 of 100

A home occupation or other incidental business activity will not ordinarily change the classification when the
premises remains primarily residential in character.
4. Multifamily Residential Customer
A Multifamily Residential customer is a customer receiving utility service for premises containing three or
more dwelling units and used primarily for residential purposes.
Examples include apartments, condominiums, and similar multiple-unit residential developments.
The use of a master meter or unusually high utility consumption does not, by itself, change a Multifamily
Residential customer to another classification.

5. Commercial Customer
A Commercial customer is a customer receiving utility service for premises used primarily for retail, office,
professional, hospitality, service, trade, fitness, wellness, entertainment, or other business purposes and
which does not otherwise qualify as Institutional or Industrial.
Examples may include:
• automobile dealerships;
• retail stores;
• service businesses; and
• restaurants and bars;
• warehouses or distribution facilities not
• hotels and motels;
primarily engaged in manufacturing or
• professional offices;
processing.
• banks and financial institutions;
• private fitness or wellness facilities;
High utility consumption alone does not make a Commercial customer Industrial.

6. Institutional Customer
An Institutional customer is a customer receiving utility service for premises used primarily for
governmental, educational, religious, health care, charitable, civic, social service, or similar institutional
purposes.

Examples may include:
• governmental facilities;
• churches and other houses of worship;
• public and private schools;
• charitable or social service facilities; and
• colleges and universities;
• nonprofit community or recreational facilities.
• hospitals and medical or health care facilities;
Ownership, nonprofit status, or tax-exempt status alone does not determine classification.
Premises primarily used for retail, professional, personal, fitness, wellness, recreational, or similar services
for compensation will generally be classified as Commercial unless the primary function of the premises
otherwise qualifies as Institutional.
7. Industrial Customer
An Industrial customer is a customer receiving utility service for premises used primarily for manufacturing,
processing, fabrication, production, assembly, or a similar industrial activity.
Examples may include manufacturing plants, food or agricultural processing facilities, fabrication facilities,
assembly operations, and other premises where an industrial process is the primary activity.
City of Aberdeen Council Agenda
November 2, 2026

Page 2

Page 52 of 100

Page 53 of 100

Consumption alone does not determine Industrial classification. A hotel, hospital, school, apartment
building, or other nonindustrial use does not become Industrial solely because it uses a large quantity of
water. Likewise, an industrial operation does not cease to be Industrial merely because its utility
consumption is relatively low.
Classification as an Industrial customer for utility billing purposes does not constitute classification as a
significant industrial user or otherwise modify the requirements of the City's industrial waste pretreatment
program.

8. Mixed-Use Premises
Where separate utility meters or accounts serve different uses within the same premises, each separately
served use may be classified according to the use served by that meter or account.
Where multiple uses are served through a common meter or account, the account shall be assigned to the
classification that most reasonably reflects the predominant use and utility service characteristics of the
premises.
Mixed use is not a separate customer classification.

9. Water Service Types
Water service type is separate from customer classification.
Water service types may include:
• Irrigation service, for landscape irrigation or
• Domestic or general service, for ordinary
other approved outdoor uses; and
residential, multifamily residential,
commercial, institutional, industrial, or similar
• Bulk water service, for water furnished through
uses;
an approved bulk water facility, hydrant, filling
station, or other approved method.
A customer may receive more than one water service type.
Assignment of a water service type does not, by itself, establish a rate or charge.

10. Classification Review and Reclassification
A utility account may be reviewed or reclassified when:
• the use of the premises changes;
• information indicates that the existing
classification is incorrect; or
• the number of dwelling units changes;
• review is otherwise reasonably necessary for
• a meter or utility account is added, removed, or
utility administration.
reconfigured;
• utility consumption or wastewater
characteristics materially change;
The Finance Officer, or designee, may request information reasonably necessary to make a classification
determination.
Reclassification will ordinarily apply prospectively. Reclassification does not, by itself, require retroactive
adjustment of prior utility bills.
11. Relationship to Utility Rates and Charges
Customer classification is separate from the establishment of utility rates and charges.
Rates and charges applicable to any customer classification shall be established in accordance with the
Charter, City Code, and other applicable law.
City of Aberdeen Council Agenda
November 2, 2026

Page 3

Page 53 of 100

Page 54 of 100

Two or more customer classifications may be subject to the same rate or rate schedule.
Nothing in this policy authorizes the Finance Officer to establish utility rates, fees, service levels, rate
structures, or other substantive utility policy.

12. Utility Billing Adjustments and Payment Arrangements
The Finance Officer may administer billing adjustments, waivers, and payment arrangements authorized by
section 54-6 of the City Code.
Billing adjustments may be considered for billing errors, inaccurate account information, leaks, equipment
failures, or other unusual circumstances recognized by administrative procedure.
The Finance Officer may approve payment arrangements for unusually large or delinquent utility accounts
and may defer collection or discontinuance of service while the customer remains in compliance with an
approved arrangement.
Administrative charges may be waived or adjusted when authorized by section 54-6.
Adjustments, waivers, and payment arrangements are discretionary and do not create an entitlement to relief.
The Finance Officer may establish documentation, eligibility, review, retention, and reporting procedures
necessary to administer this section.

13. Administrative Appeal
A customer aggrieved by a classification or reclassification decision may file a written appeal within thirty
days after notice of the decision.
The appeal should identify:
• the account or premises involved;
• the classification requested, if applicable; and
• the classification being challenged;
• the basis for the requested change.
The appeal shall be submitted to the Finance Office for transmittal to the City Manager.
The City Manager shall serve as the final administrative appeal authority for classification and
reclassification decisions under section 54-4.
Use of the City Manager as the administrative appeal authority does not alter the organizational relationship
or respective authority of the Finance Officer and City Manager.

14. Administration and Maintenance
The Finance Officer, or designee, is responsible for administering this policy and may develop procedures,
forms, examples, and internal guidance necessary to implement it, provided such materials are consistent
with sections 54-4 through 54-6 and this policy.
Administrative procedures and guidance may clarify the application of existing standards but may not
establish utility rates, fees, service levels, rate structures, new customer classifications, or other substantive
utility policy.
Material amendments to the classification standards, appeal framework, billing-adjustment authority, or
other substantive provisions of this policy shall be submitted to the City Council for approval.
