March 2014 Chamber News

The SDTBC was designed to help sup-port early-stage technology-based business-es by providing programs and infrastruc-ture to get their businesses off the ground. Since then the SDTBC has expanded its footprint, graduated 20 clients and had a definite return on our initial investment.

This issue of Chamber News shares some of the SDTBC milestones from the past decade. The Tech Center represents a number of successes — and because of our investment, we’ve been part of creating a culture of entrepreneurship here in Sioux Falls. With each successive Forward Sioux Falls program, we have been able to in-vest in more opportunities to support that growing culture.

Investment in Technology Business Center pays dividends

The world is bigger now than when our community’s founders first established roots here in Sioux Falls. Today technology enables people to conduct business from wherever they choose. And that means we need to cultivate and encourage those dreamers to grow their businesses right here in Sioux Falls.

Today, compared to 10 or 15 years ago, more investments have been made in infrastructure and opportunity for re-searchers and entrepreneurs who want to do business here — whether they are from the area or moved here for the opportunity. I believe the Tech Center has been instru-mental in helping the broader community

to understand the importance of growing our capabilities.

This community is a town for dream-ers — and we are working to develop even more opportunities for entrepreneurs. Thanks to the Technology Business Cen-ter, we’ve had a number of success stories. I look forward to what the future brings.

All types of industry have found suc-cess in Sioux Falls, from medical to manu-facturing to finance to agri-business.

Through collaboration, Sioux Falls was built by visionaries who helped cre-ate a community with a business-friendly environment paired with a high quality of life — two assets that continue to serve our city in attracting new businesses and helping established businesses flourish. Our diversified economy has helped our community thrive and enabled businesses to grow when other communities faltered. Our growth has provided opportunities for an expanding and changing workforce.

A decade ago our Chamber of Com-merce, through the third Forward Sioux Falls program, opened the South Dakota Technology Business Center, a proactive measure to help technology-based busi-nesses grow roots in South Dakota. The SDTBC represents Forward Sioux Falls’ first investment into bricks and mortar.

S I O U X F A L L S C O N V E N T I O N & V I S I T O R S B U R E A U

The Sioux Falls Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) kicks off a blitz of new mar-keting campaigns this month. Each cam-paign has a specific focus on three primary markets: leisure travel, meeting and con-vention planners, and sports event rights holders and organizers.

Leisure travelers will be reached through two separate cam-paigns: to request an official Sioux Falls Visi-tors Guide and to share their ideal itinerary by using the hashtag #Vis-itSiouxFalls. The “Re-quest a Visitors Guide” campaign will geo-target by demographic profile and behaviors to potential travelers in Winnipeg, Mani-toba, Canada; Chicago suburbs; Kansas City; and Madison, Milwaukee, La Crosse and Eau Claire, Wis. The message will in-clude “Request a new 2014-15 Sioux Falls Visitors Guide” through search and display online tactics and remarketing to “plan my trip” once the desired action has been tak-en. Various print efforts in Oprah, Midwest Living, AAA Home and Away, AAA Living and AAA Midwest Traveler also support this digital campaign.

In a separate effort to reach a younger, more affluent online demographic in the same geo-location, potential travelers will be asked to share their ideal itinerary with a universal hashtag #VisitSiouxFalls. Cre-ative will encourage participants to build a two-day itinerary with hotel accommoda-tions, restaurants and attractions that will preview on a landing page where users will get to see their complete itinerary and asked to share it with their Facebook network. All participants will be entered to win a 2015 vacation to Sioux Falls. Online advertising tactics include display ads, Facebook and Twitter promotions with remarketing to Sioux Falls travel packages.

In 2014 the Sioux Falls CVB will con-tinue to promote the “Be Our VIP” program to entice qualified meeting, convention and

tradeshow planners with a complimentary site visit to Sioux Falls. The foundation of the “Be Our VIP” campaign will include 330,000 high-impact, four-page printed in-serts and extensive online marketing tactics with new creative. The inserts will be placed in 12 meeting planner specific publications.

Additional distribution of the inserts will take place through various sales efforts includ-ing: tradeshows, direct mail, meeting planner guide mailings, sales blitzes and meetings. All marketing efforts will be directed to a re-vamped landing page. Creative this year in-cludes the support of four partners: BEST WESTERN PLUS Sioux Falls Ramkota Hotel &

Conference Center, Holiday Inn City Cen-tre, Sheraton Sioux Falls Hotel and Sioux Falls Convention Center/SMG.

Sports planners will be an increased focus for the CVB in anticipation of the opening of the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center and continued development of the Sanford Sports Complex. The initiative will focus on attracting qualified sports event planners to visit and learn more about what Sioux Falls offers as sports event host city. The creative will be focused around provid-ing a complimentary site visit to Sioux Falls for sports planners. Secondary informa-tion will include what’s new in the Sioux Falls sports world. The marketing strategy will include: direct mail to sports industry planner databases, the CVB database, geo-targeted online advertising, direct e-blasts and sales team travel.This project is funded in part by a grant from the Southeast South Dakota Tourism Association.

All campaigns are supported by an ex-tensive direct email plan and various other sales, marketing and social efforts. For more information contact CVB Director of Marketing Krista Orsack at (605) 373-2036 or [email protected].

MEMBERSHIP BENEFIT

DakotAbilities and Lutheran Social Services have been selected for the April 1-July 31, 2015 and April 1-July31, 2016 Chamber-approved Community Appeals campaign slots.

The Chamber’s Community Appeals Committee qualifies and provides orderly scheduling of capital fund drives. The com-mittee has a responsibility to discourage unnecessary or overlapping drives, to assess funds available in the Sioux Falls business community, and to provide input on realis-tic drive goals.

Scheduling by the Community Ap-peals Committee does not imply endorse-ment of a solicitation by the Chamber of Commerce. It merely indicates that the solicitor has made proper application and provided sufficient evidence to assure reli-able leadership, sound business planning, and community need. Chamber members must make their own decisions as to the support each will give the drive.

Applications are considered in the fol-lowing two areas: social and educational – for review by the entire committee.

Requests for a capital fund drive need to be scheduled. Applications will be ac-cepted by the Committee until Aug. 1 of any one year and the suggested solicitation amount and time slot for approved drives will be determined and scheduled by the

Six organizations submitteed appli-cations. In the past six months, the Com-munity Appeals Committee met with rep-resentatives from each applicant and heard presentations about their proposed cam-paigns. At the February 2014 meeting, the committee selected DakotAbilities and Lu-theran Social Services.

DakotAbilities provides a number of services for people with varying levels of abilities and disabilities, including 19 resi-dential settings and a variety of work and non-work daytime settings. The types of supports offered range from independent living arrangements at homes and apart-ments to 24-hour nursing facilities. Da-kotAbilities purchased the former Longfel-low Elementary School. They will update the facility to consolidate their headquar-ters.

The purpose of Lutheran Social Ser-vices is to care for, support and strengthen individuals, families and communities. Their campaign will build a new “Center for Community Services” on N. Minnesota Av-enue, which will house multiple programs.

Increased patents. More jobs. A grow-ing culture of entrepreneurship.

The concept of the South Dakota Technology Business Center began as part of the Forward Sioux Falls III program. A key component of that third FSF program was enhancing technology in Sioux Falls. In April 1999 FSF formed a Technology Com-mittee to determine how Sioux Falls could become a technology hub and be more at-tractive to technology companies.

Forward Sioux Falls is the success-ful joint venture economic development partnership between the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce and Sioux Falls De-velopment Foundation.

SDTBC tenants have access to shared equipment, including state-of-the-art tele-communications. The thought was that if entrepreneurs could focus on developing their ideas without the burdens of manag-ing some of their infrastructure needs or challenges, they would be more successful. If they had access to meeting space and oth-er resources for growing a business, like the Small Business Development Center and the Governor’s Office of Economic Devel-opment, they’d be more successful. If they were surrounded by other entrepreneurial-minded individuals, they would be able to network and share ideas — and they would be more successful.

SDTBC invites client company CEOs and Executive Directors to participate in monthly round table discussions called the Leadership Circle. This invitation-only pro-gram gives clients the opportunity to con-nect with peers on a personal and business level to discuss the daily challenges and op-portunities for entrepreneurial leaders. Dis-cussions include current events with a fo-cus on developing leadership skills within a moral and ethical context.

The Accelerator and Boot Camp pro-gram, now entering its third year, helps entrepreneurs develop their business con-cepts. Applicants selected to participate also have opportunities to receive funding. The final deadline to apply for the 2014 Accel-erator is April 21, 2014.

The proof is in the numbers. The SDTBC has helped 20 companies grow and graduate and will report its preliminary 10 year numbers at the March 7 Forward Sioux Falls investor meeting. In its first nine

years of operation the number of client and graduate employees grew to 581.5 FTE’s. These same companies had a combined an-nual payroll of more than $33.49 million.

“The Technology Business Center’s role in helping entrepreneurs launch and grow in Sioux Falls is evolving,” said SDT-BC Executive Director Rich Naser. “We con-tinue to adapt our programs and services to meet the needs of our clients. From our Ac-celerator program to matching companies with capital, we are now more involved than ever with helping our clients achieve success.”

The SDTBC also tracks equity invest-ment and patents secured. The nine-year total equity investments was just under $52 million and total patents held by these same companies rose to 17.

The SDTBC’s Accelerator program is accepting applications for its third go-round. Other incubators may focus more

The Innovation Network South Dakota provides networking and educational opportunities to high growth entrepreneurs in eastern South Dakota. Innovation Network hosts regularly scheduled “I.N. After Hours” networking events to connect high growth entrepreneurs with a technology focus; investors including angel and venture capitalists; and professionals including attorneys, accountants, marketers and bankers.

The USD Research Park will provide an environment where university research can be conducted and commercialized and a resource to help grow companies in South Dakota. The USDRP will help connect universities with innovation-driven businesses that are in the entrepreneurial stages or expanding. Tenants are expected to establish relationships with university faculty and students or engage in activities related to research in regental institutions. Located on the grounds of University Center, the 80-acre USD Research Park shares a campus with the Graduate Education and Applied Research (GEAR) Center. USD is working with the SDTBC and Forward Sioux Falls to plan and launch the park. These organizations will also play a key role in helping attract and support additional park tenants.

The SDTBC has extended its technology infrastructure and programs for entrepreneurs to the companies that are working closely with University of South Dakota scientists and researchers developing new technologies and products at the GEAR Center (Graduate Education and Applied Research Center).

Located at 4800 N. Career Ave. in Sioux Falls, the GEAR Center was opened in Spring, 2009 to stimulate applied research and commercialization in South Dakota. USD’s Biomedical Engineering program and several private companies are housed in the GEAR Center.

The Accelerator and Boot Camp provides:

on funding and finding investors for participants, where the SDTBC is more process-focused, said En-trepeneurship and Incubation Manager Pam Boehm. Boehm said the goal is to provide information and re-sources for the participants to help build them up for long-term success rather than quick infusions of cash.

More than the numbers of jobs created and re-turn on investment, Boehm says the SDTBC has had a role in bringing forth opportunities for entrepreneurs and showing them that they can grow their ideas here in Sioux Falls.

The City of Sioux Falls Municipal/School Board election will be held Tuesday, April 8. Open municipal positions include: Mayor, At-Large Council Member “A,” At-Large Council Member “B,” Central District Council Member, and Southeast District Council Member. The Sioux Falls School Board has one vacancy.

The filing deadline for all open seats was at 5 p.m. on Feb. 28, after the press deadline for this issue of Chamber News. As of press time incumbent Doug Morrison is the only person to file for the School Board seat; if Morrison remains the only candidate, there will be no school board election.

Incumbents for the City election are Mayor Mike T. Huether; Councilor Rex Rolfing, At-Large Council Member “A;” and Councilor Michelle Erpenbach, Central District Council Member. Councilors James Entenman, At-Large Council Member “B,” and Sue Aguilar, Southeast District Council Member, will not be seeking re-election. More de-tails about the candidates running for these open seats will be published in the April 2, 2014 print edition of Cham-ber News and through various electronic communications tools throughout March.

In addition, voters can also decide on four issues. An Initiated Measure is brought forth by the citizens without prior council action. Residents have six months to collect the required signatures, which is 5 percent of registered voter population. A Referred Law is a resolution or ordi-nance that is referred to the voters by citizens. These resi-dents have 20 days after publication to collect the required signatures, which is also 5 percent of the registered voter population. Official ballot language was not available at press time. Three of the four issues were reviewed by the Chamber’s Board of Directors, after being reviewed by the Chamber’s Issues Management Council and Legislative Is-sues Committee. At its Feb. 26 meeting, the Board issued the following recommendations:

Snow Gates (Initiated Measure 1)Sioux Falls voters will also determine if snowgates

will be implemented within the City’s snow removal plan. Residents opposed to the direct implementation of snow-gates (designed to reduce the amount of snow in driveways and intersections) collected enough signatures to place the issue on the ballot. The Chamber Board encourages voters to further study this issue; however, it did not take a formal position on Initiated Measure 1.

Spellerberg Pool (Initiated Measure 2)A “yes” vote would result in an outdoor pool being

built at Spellerberg Park and a “no” vote would pave the way for an indoor aquatics facility at Spellerberg.

The Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce believes it is time for Sioux Falls to construct and operate a public indoor swimming facility (or facilities) to support year-round aquatic activities for all citizens and competitive

swimming for local teams.

Phase 1 of the City’s aquatic facility master plan rec-ommends adding a centralized indoor aquatics facility by 2016. Also, the City’s master plan includes recommen-dations on the types, sizes and locations of other public aquatic facilities within Sioux Falls for the next ten years.

We recommend a “no” vote in order for the City to move forward with an indoor aquatics facility at Speller-berg Park.

Shape Places (Referred Law 3)A “yes” vote would adopt the Shape Places zoning

plan and a “no” vote would retain the City’s existing zoning ordinance

The Chamber participated in many public input and informational sessions that led to the adoption of the Shape Places ordinance by the Sioux Falls City Council. The process was thorough and provided the public ample opportunity for input and comment. Therefore, the Cham-ber supports the adoption of Shape Places as the new and modernized planning and zoning ordinance for Sioux Falls to provide certainty and efficiency for developers as well as clarity and the ability to participate in the process for residents.

We recommend that the City consider reviewing the ordinance to ensure that public input concerns are fully addressed and recommend a “yes” vote on the Shape Plac-es ordinance on April 8, 2014.

85th Street and Minnesota Avenue (Referred Law 4)

A “yes” vote would result in the City proceeding with planned rezoning at 85th Street and Minnesota Avenue and a “no” vote would deny rezoning at this location.

The Chamber rarely engages in specific zoning issues at the Council level or at the community level. The ad-ministration of zoning ordinances is the responsibility of City Government through the Planning Commission and ultimately legislative action by the Sioux Falls City Coun-cil. That is how the process worked in the instance of the rezoning at 85th Street and Minnesota Avenue, but this decision was challenged and referred to a public vote in April 2014.

The Chamber believes that sound planning and de-velopment requires the predictable administration of zon-ing ordinances. The City of Sioux Falls has a sound pro-cess for vetting zoning issues as well as for thorough public input. We believe that this process was appropriately fol-lowed on this request.

We also believe that zoning ordinance administra-tion needs to be well organized and consistent so that de-velopers and citizens can proceed with certainty. Thus, we recommend a “yes” vote to support the rezoning at 85th Street and Minnesota Avenue.

BALLOT. ISSUES. IN.MORE.DETAIL :.Spellerberg Pool (Initiated Measure 2)

Background: In 2013, the City of Sioux Falls hired a national aquatics consulting firm to conduct a study which would provide the framework for the Citywide Aquatic Facil-ity Master Plan. This plan includes recommendations on the types, sizes and locations of the public aquatic facilities within Sioux Falls for the next 10 years.

Phase 1 of the Master Plan recommends adding a cen-tralized indoor aquatics facility by 2016 at the existing Spell-erberg Pool location to replace the existing outdoor pool at an estimated cost of $19.4 million.

After the Sioux Falls City Council approved designs for an indoor aquatics facility, “Save Spellerberg”, a group of residents concerned about an indoor pool at Spellerberg Park, gathered the necessary petitions to put the issue on the April 8, 2014 ballot. The ballot issue has since been designated “Ini-tiated Measure 2”. If a “yes” vote prevails, the City will build an outdoor pool (at an estimated cost of $7.5 million) at Speller-berg Park. If a “no” vote prevails, it would pave the way for the indoor facility at Spellerberg.

Indoor Pool Amenities: The indoor facility provides for a warm water therapy pool, two waterslides, current channel, three 25 meter lap lanes, zero depth pool with spray nozzles and play features, 50 meter pool with 10 lanes (20 lanes for the 25 meter length), an outdoor spray ground area and sundeck for warmer times of the year, two 1 meter diving boards, one 3 meter diving board and seating off of the swim deck for 500. The parking lot will allow for 203 spaces.

Outdoor Pool Amenities: The outdoor facility provides for two waterslides, three 25 meter lap lanes, current channel, zero-depth pool with spray nozzles and play features, plaza area and bath house. The parking lot will allow for 179 stalls. The outdoor pool would be roughly the same size as Laurel Oaks without the greenspace and sand play area.

Proponents of an indoor aquatics option have outlined the following reasons to encourage a NO vote on a new out-door pool being built at Spellerberg Park:

• Spellerberg Park is an excellent, centralized location for a public indoor aquatics facility

• Currently, Sioux Falls is without a public, indoor aquatics facility, yet has ample outdoor pools at the present time

• If another outdoor pool is built, it will be many years before an indoor facility may be considered

• Green space at Spellerberg Park will be preserved, in-cluding the sledding hill

• Because pool use will be over the course of the entire year and not concentrated only during the summer months, traffic load is likely to be reduced

Opponents of an indoor aquatics option at Spellerberg Park have outlined the following reasons to encourage a YES vote on a new outdoor pool being built:

• An outdoor pool would better preserve the park ambi-ance and preserve the neighborhood feel and accessibility

• An indoor facility with expected higher use rates than an outdoor pool, would result in traffic load pressures for Spellerberg Park’s residential location

• Increased use of an indoor facility would lead to parking constraints

• Higher traffic flows would adversely affect the VA Hospi-tal’s accessibility

Shape Places (Referred Law 3)Background: In 2008, the update for the Shape Places

Zoning Ordinance was launched beginning with a survey of approximately 1,500 citizens. Survey results provided direc-tion for the Land Use and Development Review Commit-tee to create specific Land Use and Development policies to be incorporated into the Shape Places Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in December of 2009. Subsequently, five study groups (landscape, signage, parking, Minnesota Avenue and Zoning Districts) were formed to determine rec-ommendations for specific changes to the Zoning Ordinance based on the Shape Sioux Falls plan.

Currently, the City abides by zoning laws enacted in 1983. Sioux Falls City Council passed new zoning laws in March of 2013 that were scheduled to go into effect in April of that year, however, “Save Our Neighborhood”, a group also concerned about a proposed Walmart near 85th Street and Minnesota Avenue, collected enough signatures to place the issue on the City’s April 2014 ballot, which has since been named “Referred Law 3”.

Shape Places Intended Purpose: The intended out-come of Shape Places is to improve the Sioux Falls zoning ordinance by simplifying and standardizing the rules and regulations, and providing for more development options as well as new, innovative site planning options.

Proponents of Shape Places have outlined the follow-ing benefits of implementation:

• Effectively manages land uses of different intensities

• Provides seamless and smooth transitions from one use to another

• Offers more development options and new or innova-tive site planning options

• Enhances user-friendliness (would reduce current Zon-ing Ordinance with its 127 different uses that are in one or several different zoning districts, to 35 forms in 9 categories)

• Streamlined zoning process--reduction of conditional-use permits, which require appearing before the plan-ning commission, city council and allowance for public input

Opponents of Shape Places have outlined the follow-ing reasons of concern:

• Unfair signage restrictions placed upon businesses, cer-tain professions and homeowners

• Reduction/elimination of some conditional-use permits marginalize public input as properties are considered for development or redevelopment

85th Street and Minnesota Avenue (Referred Law 4)

Background: In August 2013, the Sioux Falls City Council approved a rezoning request (agriculture to com-mercial) from Walmart Supercenter in order for the retail chain to build an 185,000 square foot store at the inter-section of 85th Street and Minnesota Avenue. “Save Our Neighborhood”, a group opposing the rezoning, collected the necessary number of signatures to place the issue on the April 8, 2014 ballot, which has since been designated “Referred Law 4”. In an attempt to appease nearby resi-dents, Walmart amended the original design, specifically in the areas of appearance, traffic and access, operations and noise. However, opponents were not completely satis-fied, stating that the modifications did not go far enough.

Proponents of Rezoning at 85th Street & Minnesota Avenue have outlined the following benefits of implemen-tation:

• This development is consistent with other commer-cial uses in the immediate area and complements the development of South Dakota Highway 100 along the south edge of Sioux Falls.

• Continuing to support the growth and development of Sioux Falls is part of the rising tide that continues to lift our community; this project is a testament to the benefit of additional community growth.

Opponents of Rezoning at 85th Street and Minnesota Avenue have outlined the following reasons of concern:

• While there is support for commercial development, a smaller store would allow the city to buffer single-family residences from big-box development.

• The Sioux Falls 2015 Growth Management Plan did not specify the land use in the 85th Street and Min-nesota Avenue area until formation of the Sioux Falls 2035 Comprehensive Plan in 2009. By this time, the land adjacent to 85th Street and Minnesota Avenue had already been permitted single-family residential.

Sioux Falls to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day March 15

Patrick Gustaf, a Sioux Falls florist who is the Grand Marshal of the 35th an-nual St. Patrick’s Day Parade, grew up in Sioux Falls’ North End in a family that cel-ebrated being Irish. St. Patrick’s Day was as big a holiday as Christmas with his family, right down to the green mashed potatoes.

He will lead the 35th Annual St. Pat-rick’s Day parade on Saturday, March 15.

The day’s events officially kick off at 11:45 a.m. with the traditional Painting of the Shamrock and reading of the proclama-tions at 9th Street and Phillips Avenue. The parade forms at 5th Street and Main Avenue at 12:30 p.m. and the parade begins at 2 p.m.

The parade on March 15 provides an excellent opportunity for people through-out the Sioux Falls region to visit the city for a day of family activities. In 2009, the St. Patrick’s Day Extravaganza committee, which plans the parade with support from the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce staff, decided to move the parade perma-nently to the Saturday before St. Patrick’s Day.

Sponsorships from Sanford Health, Avera McKennan Hospital & University Health Center, Holiday Inn City Centre, and Xcel Energy help underwrite the costs of bringing the Khartum Temple Pipes and Drums, a Shriner unit from Winni-peg, Manitoba, to Sioux Falls. They have performed in the parade almost since the start and make guest appearances in local schools and hospitals. A complete perfor-mance schedule will be released later this month.

The “Vanguard Squadron,” an eth-anol-powered stunt team performing in-formation aerobatics again will perform during the parade, weather permitting. It is sponsored by POET, a South Dakota etha-nol producer.

There is no entry fee to participate in the parade, but each entry must have some kind of Irish theme. Each participant 16 and older must purchase and wear an official St. Patrick’s Day Parade button costing $3. As co-owner of Gustaf’s Greenery (with sister,

Pat Gustaf to serve as Grand Marshal

Jean) on S. Minne-sota Avenue, Gustaf has long been an en-thusiastic supporter of the parade, sell-ing upwards of 100 parade buttons each year and collecting all 35 of them so far.

This year’s button has a green carnation, a nod to

Gustaf’s love of flowers. “It’s the coolest but-ton of them all.” The proceeds help cover parade costs and a portion is donated to Special Olympics and to the El Riad Shrine Temple. Buttons are available at the Sioux Falls Area Chamber of Commerce (200 N. Phillips Ave., Suite 200), at various busi-nesses and at the start of the parade.

No candy can be distributed at the parade. Sioux Falls City Council Ordinance (Section 38-143) states: “It is unlawful for any person conducting, managing or par-ticipating in any parade to distribute or permit the distribution of any candy or bal-loons to persons in attendance during the parade.”

To say that Pat Gustaf is excited about being Grand Marshal would be an under-statement: “I feel very honored and I just can’t believe it. I just pinch myself once in a while,” Gustaf said.

Gustaf, 61, says he actually is three-fourths Irish. His great-grandfather was Swedish and moved to Cork, Ireland, in the mid-1800s. His mother Gertrude Elo-ise Fleming Gustaf, who was 100 percent Irish, was born in Montrose, S.D. The Flem-ing and the Gustaf families are part of the Montrose history.

“I truly love the Irish part of me!” he says. “I think that’s my best feature.”
