B
A
It's
that
close,
ok
back
in
the
spring
and
early
summer,
the
council
entered
into
an
agreement
with
MSH
architects
to
in
Sioux
Falls
to
help
us
as
a
community
produce
a
Charette
which
I
daresay
I,
didn't
know
what
that
meant
and
most
everyone
we've
talked
to
doesn't
either,
but
really
is
a
it's.
A
meeting
of
people
coming
together
with
a
common
purpose,
looking
for
answers
and
and
ways
to
accomplish
something-
and
this
Charette
in
particular,
is
designed
to
address
the
revitalization
of
Uptown
Watertown.
D
A
We
say
hats
off
to
the
council
that
you
took
that
step
and
and
the
mayor's
been
very
supportive,
and
we
have
a
steering
committee
that
has
tried
to
put
this
together
for
the
community.
There
are
10
of
us
and
Beth
happens
to
be
one
of
our
co-chairman.
Nancy
is
our
other
co-chairman
and
you
know.
Needless
to
say,
in
the
beginning,
it
was
a
little
bit
of
chaos
because
we
weren't
exactly
sure
what
direction
this
was
going
to
take
or
should
take,
and
it's
really
been
a
fun
sort
of
organization.
E
A
A
Everyone
uses
the
Uptown
in
one
way
or
another,
and
we
think
it's
important
that
we
have
input
from
everyone
that
might
be
using
it.
One
of
the
ways
we're
seeking
input
is
with
what
I
call
a
workbook
and
for
everyone
that
our
SPPs,
we
provide
you
with
this
workbook.
Either
you
can
access
it
by
internet
or
the
booklets
are
available
at
the
Watertown
Community
Foundation
there.
When
we
started
you
can
see,
there's
a
map
of
the
highlighted
area,
which
is
the
area
we
are
going
to
address
and
it's
it's
a
little
irregular.
A
But
we
thought
that
made
up
the
core
of
the
Uptown
a
few
residences,
but
basically
it
is
the
core
and
the
gateways
to
the
Uptown,
and
so
within
that
in
the
workbook
we've
identified
nine
different
locations
and
we
asked
them
the
people
to
take
a
little
walking
tour
of
the
Uptown
and
go
to
these
locations
and
in
the
workbook
there's
a
place
for
your
observations
and
each
of
the
locations,
and
it
says
what
do
you
see
what
is
attractive?
What
could
be
added?
What
needs
to
be
removed
and
any
other
notes?
A
And
so
then
we
asked
them
to
bring
that
to
the
Charette
spend
some
time
talking
about
what
they've
seen
and
then,
when
it's
these
will
be
tabulated.
The
results
will
be
tabulated
when
it's
over,
so
we
think
it's
it's
going
to
be
a
helpful
exercise
and
it
will
bring
some
focus
and
we
don't
really
as
you'll
see
from
the
agenda,
we
don't
really
have.
Our
committee
does
not
have
an
agenda,
it's
very
open-ended.
It's
whatever
comes
from
this
is
whatever
it
is.
So
we
think
that's.
A
C
Bit
you
betcha,
you
bet
you
I'm,
just
thumbing
through
some
of
these
photographs,
some
of
the
areas
there
are
places
that
probably
need
a
little
tender,
love
and
care,
and
so
we're
very,
very
much
open
to
what
everybody
sees
and
then
what
their
suggestions
and
recommendations
are,
and
so
you
just
walk
through
as
Greg
said,
and
your
notations.
Accordingly,
it's
important
that
you
bring
the
booklet
with
you
we're.
The
expectation
is,
is
that
everybody
will
turn
in
their
comments
at
the
event,
because
we
have
to
have
a
cut-off
date.
C
You
know,
and
these
booklets
will
be
gathered
that
weekend
and
taken
back
and
and
then
that
information
is
gonna
be
compiled,
so
we're
gonna
start
off
with
Mayor
Steve
Thorson
with
a
welcome,
and
so
we
thought
that
was
most
appropriate
in
that
first
evening.
We're
going
to
talk
about
the
importance
of
the
urban
center,
tell
them
the
story,
and
so
we
have
some
folks
that
are
in
town,
some
folks
that
are
from
out
of
town
that
are
coming
and
talking
and
sharing
some
stories.
C
We'll
hear
some
stories
of
about
Sioux
Falls,
we'll
hear
some
stories
from
our
own
folks
as
it
relates
to
water
towns,
historical,
downtown,
we'll,
look
at
a
video
presentation
and
then
I'm
gonna
leave
you
hanging
and
tell
you
tell
you
that
we're
gonna
do
a
theology
35
now
that
doesn't
get
your
attention
up
and
wondering
what
that
might
be?
Is
it
that's
right
so
you'll
just
you'll
just
have
to
come.
C
C
So
we're
gonna
have
some
questions
and
answers
that
evening,
and
so
we're
going
to
just
kind
of
be
basically
peeking
your
interests
that
evening
and
then,
of
course,
our
architects
are
going
to
facilitate
this
process,
we're
going
to
come
back
together
and,
as
you
see
the
event
program
day,
two
which
is
meat
and
potatoes.
If
you
will
we're
going
to
start
off
at
a
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
we're
gonna
have
some
table
exercises.
We're
gonna
have
several
breakout
sessions.
C
Talk
about
why
what's
possible
what
your
dreams
are,
what
you've
always
thought
should
you
know
the
way
it
should
be
or,
and
so
we
want
everybody's
input
and
then
we're
gonna
start
we're
gonna
have
a
brown-bag
lunch
and
Charlie's
is
working
with
us
to
make
that
very
convenient
for
you
and
we're
gonna
have
the
planned
and
then,
of
course,
the
implementation
piece
and
then
we're
doing
something
that
we
think
is
going
to
be
quite
exciting.
Is
we
have
a?
We
have
a
discussion
panel,
and
so
we
have
some
folks.
C
Traci
turbek
has
come
up
from
Sioux
Falls
and
you
guys
know
Tracy
and
Shelly's
gonna,
be
there
with
us,
Dave
Johnson's
gonna,
be
there
so
we've
got
a
variety.
We've
got
some
business
owners.
How
they've
done
things
would
talk
about
things
as
far
as
the
government.
What
government
can
do
and
so
we're
gonna
actually
try
to
pull
together?
C
B
F
What
I'd
like
to
say,
I'd
like
to
thank
everybody,
that's
been
very
involved
in
it.
I
was
originally
gonna,
be
involved
in
it,
but
I
think
I
would've
slowed
you
down,
I,
don't
think
I
have
the
energy
that
you
guys
have
put
into
this.
This
progress
or
process
and
I
really
look
very
excited
about
seeing
the
outcome
of
it
and
possibly
being
part
of
it
on
the
back
side
of
it.
So
thank
you
very
much.
C
E
C
C
Bet
you
pick
up,
you
can
actually
there's
something
right
here
at
City,
Hall
that
the
mayor's
administrative
assistant
has
some.
If
you
want
to,
you,
can
go
on
Facebook
and
just
download
it
from
there.
It's
h2o
20
of
Watertown
vitalization,
and
you
can
find
it
there.
You
can
download
it
PDF
file
or
you
can
drop
by
the
Watertown
Community
Foundation
and
tell
you
the
weather.
We
couldn't
ask
for
better
weather
right,
and
so
you
could
actually
take
take
that
advantage
and
just
walk
around
and
do
that.
Walking,
tour
and
yeah.
E
One
of
the
things
I
want
to
emphasize
is
that
we
really
would
like
people
to
register
before
they
get
their
books,
so
we
know
who
have
them
and
Diane
as
soon
as
you
register.
Diane
can
also
send
you
a
link
for
that
PDF
so
that
you
could
download
it
at
any
time.
So
registering
is
key.
So
that's
why
I?
Some
of
you
have
cards
that
say:
okay,
you've
saved
the
date
now
save
your
seat
and
I.
Think
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
are
planning
on
coming
and
they've
saved
the
date.
E
C
B
All
right
number
three
discussion
on
the
proposed
loop
rail
tracks
for
glacial
lakes.
This
is
gonna
be
interesting.
This
has
been
in
the
works
for
quite
some
time
now
and
Jim
and
Brad
I
I
think
they
both
have
decided
that
it's
time
to
bring
this
forward
and
let
the
council
take
a
look
at
it
during
the
working
session,
so
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
you
guys
if
you'll
introduce
yourselves
just
so,
the
television
can
pick
up
your
names
and
we'll
go
from
there.
Thank
you
guys.
Okay,.
B
B
J
K
H
You
guys
get
roaring
there
tomorrow,
tomorrow,
okay,
so
we're
here
to
share
with
you
a
project
that
we
have
on
the
as
mayor
had
indicated.
We've
been
working
on
this
for
the
better
part
of
the
year.
Maybe
give
you
a
peek
into
what
we
see
in
the
transportation
and
ethanol
industry.
What
it's
going
to
take
to
keep
continue
the
success
that
julia's
has
enjoyed
the
last
couple
of
years
and
and
where
the
future
of
both
industries,
transportation
and
ethanol
are
headed.
H
So
the
purpose
of
our
visit
is
to
present
a
concept
to
open
new
market
opportunities
for
glacial
lakes,
energies,
Watertown
plant,
to
explain,
what's
involved,
to
answer
questions
and
to
request
support
from
the
council
a
little
history
background
of
glacial
lakes,
energy.
We
are
an
ethanol
production,
cooperative,
headquartered
and
founded
here
in
Watertown
the
most
you
probably
know
that
there
are
40
100
investors
in
eastern
South
Dakota.
The
majority
are
in
the
Watertown
trade
area.
We
owned
100%
of
two
large
100
million
gallon
plants,
Watertown
and
Mynaa.
Mynaa
is
just
for
those.
H
You
might
not
have
been
out
that
way.
Recently
about
12
miles
west
of
Aberdeen
on
highway
12,
we
have
minority
investments
in
red
field
in
Granite,
Falls
energy
as
well,
and
after
restoration
of
our
financial
health.
We
are
now
in
a
position
to
invest
or
expand
that
would
include
any
projects
within
the
two
plants
and
we've
done
a
fair
amount
of
that
more
recently
or
even
a
acquisition
of
another
plant.
You
know
it's
it's.
H
The
main
point
of
that
last
bullet
is
I,
just
want
to
emphasize
that
we
see
a
very
good
opportunity
for
G
le
to
continue
to
grow
as
opportunities
come
up,
we're
in
a
financial
position
to
do
so
so
over
the
past
ten
years.
Just
to
give
you
a
peek
of
what's
gone
on
here
in
Watertown-
and
this
is
a
very,
very
high
look
at
things
in
2002
operation
of
the
forty
million
gallon
plant
here
in
Watertown
began,
then
an
old
405
expansion
to
a
50
million
gallon
capacity
was
completed,
and
essentially
that
was
internal
investment.
H
H
You
know
I
I
kind
of
go
back
to
a
meeting
or
a
tour
that
we
had
up
in
our
mine
a
plant
when
I
when
I
first
got
here
and
we
had
hosted
some
of
the
area
county
commissioners
and
one
of
the
commissioners
asked
me
it
was
a
great
question,
but
just
I
don't
think
anybody
had
any
idea,
and-
and-
and
maybe
there
are
folks
in
this
room
too-
that
do
not
have
an
idea
of
the
scope
and
the
volume
of
these
these
operations.
First
of
all,
we
are
a
24/7
365
operation.
H
We
do
not
shut
down,
except
for
two
three-day
periods
or
one
time
during
the
summer
where
we
get
into
vessels
and
we
clean
things
and
repair
and
do
preventative
maintenance,
but
essentially-
and
you
can
best
see
this
in
the
winter-
if
there's
steam
coming
out
we're
running
and-
and
that
occurs
all
day
every
day
everything
moves
by
rail
and
that
might
be
a
little
bit
of
a
new
concept,
and
this
was
what
the
gentleman
up
and
miner
had
asked.
He
had
asked
if
we
sold
most
of
the
ethanol
from
the
minor
facility
in
Aberdeen.
H
Well,
you
know
maybe
about
a
truckload
a
month,
so
everything
rules
moves
by
rail
99.99%
of
our
ethanol,
that
we
make
moves
by
rail.
On
the
distiller
side,
it's
a
little
bit
different.
We
do
sell
distiller
grain,
which
is
what's
left
of
the
the
kernel
afterwards
we
do
sell
that
locally,
and
so
there
is
about
half
of
that
goes
out
on
rail.
We
dry
it
and
put
on
a
rail
car
and
send
it
out.
Both
plants
are
served
by
the
BNSF.
H
Watertown
is
what
we
call
a
single
car
shipper
mine
as
a
unit
train
shipper
and
a
typical
day
in
Watertown.
As
far
as
rail
cars
goes,
17
rail
cars
are
processed
or
loaded.
12
of
those
are
loaded
with
ethanol,
which
makes
about
84
a
week
and
a
dried
distillers
grain
about
five
hopper
cars
or
35
a
week.
H
H
I
As
as
Jim
started,
talking
about
the
role
of
transportation
really
in
any
commodity,
business
is
huge
and
the
longer
I
spend
in
this
in
this
kind
of
industry,
the
more
I
more
I
understand.
That's
the
case.
The
ethanol
industry
is
a
high
volume,
low
margin
game.
That
means
the
efficient
producer,
the
efficient
rail
or
truck
carrier
and
the
efficient
blender
are
the
ones
that
have
the
advantage
and
get
to
do.
The
business
transportation
efficiency
is
critical.
I
I
I
I
Specifically,
it
means
significant
freight
savings
and
it
means
shipment
times
are
cut
nearly
in
half
a
single-car
of
ethanol
loaded
in
Watertown,
going
out
to
say
the
Pacific
Northwest
normally
will
make
a
complete
turn
in
30
to
35
days
we're
shipping
out
we're
shipping
units
on
the
minor
plant
to
Tacoma
or
to
mobile
in
15
days
or
less
further
from
from
John's
letter.
In
today's
competitive
economy,
market
access
is
enhanced
by
unit
training
capability,
because
many
customer
destinations
increasingly
call
for
this
capacity,
especially
export
markets.
I
Okay,
the
the
Burlington
Northern,
which
is
you
know,
one
of
the
two
dominant
railroads
in
the
western
United
States
and
as
Jim
mentioned,
search
both
our
plants
and
is
very
strong
in
the
Dakotas
and
the
rest
of
the
Upper
Midwest,
go
down
to
the
Texas
Gulf
area,
which
is
Houston,
Galveston
Texas
City,
that's
for
both
export
and
for
domestic
purposes,
either
strong
into
the
dallas-fort
worth
market
and
they
go
into
the
Los
Angeles
area,
which
you
know.
We
call.
I
We
call
Watson
just
in
the
last
12
to
18
months,
they've
added
or
revamped
three
more
locations
with
more
coming.
One
is
in
saucier
Illinois,
which
is
East
st.
Louis,
which
serves
the
st.
Louis
market
and
is
available
for
loading
barges,
Mobile
Alabama
and
Tacoma
Washington,
and
we're
proud
to
tell
you
that,
for
each
of
those,
three
destinations,
glacial
lakes
and
minor,
was
either
the
first
or
the
second
shipper
and
each
of
those
destinations.
I
Okay,
when
we
talk
about
the
domestic
market,
the
domestic
market
is
relatively
capped,
so
what's
important
to
do
what's
important
to
these
unit.
Train
receivers
is
capture
those
rate
savings
and
the
shipping
efficiencies,
and
that's
important
to
us
as
the
shipper
and
here's
a
critical
point
and
Don
I
think
this
may
be
the
heart.
The
heart
heart
of
your
matter
unit
destinations,
buy
exclusively
in
units.
They
don't
buy
a
mixed
mash
of
singles
and
units
the
markets
I
went
through
on
there
on
Fort,
Worth,
Los
Angeles
and
the
Houston
area.
I
Big
populous
areas
take
a
lot
of
ethanol
in
there.
It
all
goes
in
their
unit,
trains,
there's
no
single
cars.
When
you
look
at
those
new
destinations,
Mobil,
st.
Louis,
Tacoma
and
more
to
come,
they
won't
be
taking
single
cars
any
longer
either
so
competitive
markets
for
single
car
shippers
are
going
to
dry
up
over
time.
So
that's
going
to
basically
ask
the
question:
what
does
glacial
lakes
Watertown
gonna
be
able
to
do
with
its
ethanol
if
it
doesn't
become
a
unit
shipper.
I
Okay,
now
you
know
we
talk
about
the
domestic
market
and
you've,
probably
already
seen-
or
maybe
you
know,
heard
her
Jim
or
somebody
else
to
our
company
talk
about
the
blend
wall.
The
United
States
is
basically
directed
to
blend
wall,
which
is
built
on
the
foundation
of
eat
and
and
lots
of
side
conversations
about
a
10,
a
15,
a
30
85,
there's
some
potential
growth
there.
If
we
can
do
that,
and
it's
very
important,
but
real
growth
for
ethanol
production
must
be
realized
through
the
export
markets.
I
We
had
a
gentleman
named
Marty
Reich
had
very
smart
individuals
speak
to
our
annual
meeting
not
long
ago
and
according
to
his
business,
which
is
called
the
pro
exporter,
Network
potential
for
US
corn
ethanol
growth
is
nearly
60
percent.
If
foreign
motor
gas
just
went
to
e5
they're,
currently
operating
at
maybe
about
an
e2
level,
if
they
went
to
e5,
that
would
increase
our
markets
by
60%
and
here's
a
here's,
a
graph
that
he
put
up
on
there
and
it's
it's
pretty
self-explanatory.
I
You
might
ask
yourself:
ok
where
what
countries
take
take
ethanol
from
us
today.
These
countries
are
all
all
have
in
the
last
few
years
taken
export
ethanol
quality
from
our
South
Dakota
operation,
Brazil,
China
Korea,
in
fact
we're
shipping
a
train,
that's
going
to
be
destined
for
Korea
in
10
days,
India,
the
Philippines
and
one
of
that
one
of
our
folks,
our
FL
all
marketing
manager
just
got
back
from
a
trip
to
the
Philippines
trying
to
help
develop
that
Peru
in
the
Middle
East.
I
There's
about
three
countries
on
there
that
really
jumped
out
to
me
is
what
the
heck
is
going
on.
There
Brazil,
you
know,
if
you,
you
know
every
everybody
reads
about
ethanol
here
in
South
Dakota.
Why
are
we
shipping
to
Brazil?
Aren't
they
our
main
competitor?
Yes,
they
are,
but
they're
really
only
competitive
and
export
markets.
Half
the
year,
the
other
half
of
the
year.
They
may
well
be
an
importer.
We
should
the
United
States
in
general,
and
the
minor
plant
specifically
has
shipped
lots
of
ethanol
into
Brazil.
I
China
China,
like
so
many
other
things
for
ethanol,
is
the
sleeping
giant.
If
we
wake
it
up,
you
can
really
see
these
markets
take
off.
We
in
fact
have
shipped
to
China
and
that's
kind
of
wild
card
in
the
ethanol
balance
sheet
going
forward,
and
then
the
probably
last
was
the
Middle
East.
You
asked:
why
would
we
be
shipping
shipping
ethanol
in
the
Middle
East
that'd
be
like
calling
coals
to
Newcastle?
I
H
So
a
good
question
is
how
does
Watertown
stay
competitive
and
relevant
in
this
in
in
in
some
of
the
the
developments
that
are
beginning
to
occur
and
I
might
go?
Take
you
back
to
the
Brad's
unit
train
locations.
Those
are
just
unit
train
locations
for
the
BNSF.
We
have
other
railroads
out
there
that
have
many
many
more
unit
train
facilities,
so
what's
happening
within
the
BNSF,
is
always
also
happening
within
the
CSX
and
the
U
P,
and
some
of
the
other
railroads
they're
developing
these
unit
train
locations.
H
The
project
that
we've
been
working
on
over
the
past
year,
or
so
is,
is
to
add
a
unit
train
capability
for
Watertown.
This
would
consist
of
four
loops
capable
of
handling
or
holding
96
cars
each
additional.
In
addition
to
that,
we
would
look
for
to
construct
additional
finish
storage
of
four
and
a
half
million
gallons
and
a
loadout
which
would
be
near
the
current
Canton
farm.
H
H
What
our
guys
have
done,
the
crews
have
done
with
what
they
have,
and
you
know
up
until
now:
we've
we've
just
more
or
less
force
them
to
do
what
they
can
do
and
get
by
and
they've
stepped
up
to
that
call
nicely,
as
we
see
it,
it's
time
to
eliminate
that
risk
to
mitigate
that
risk,
to
build
more
storage,
and
that
would
that
that
part
of
the
project
would
fit
nicely
with
the
with
the
loop
loop
track.
Total
cost
of
this
project
is
estimated
at
right.
Around
16
million
dollars.
H
Here's
what
the
water
tone
loop
would
look
like
again,
take
yourself
back
and
you
that
one
slide
that
Don
asked
about
a
single-car
shipper,
a
unit
train
shipper.
We
have
currently
have
the
ability
to
see
both
sides
of
this
when,
when
we're
marketing
for
watertown
marketing
for
minor,
so
this
track
is,
is
designed
somewhat
similar
to
Myna,
actually
mine.
This
is
a
more
robust
loop
than
what
mine
it
has,
but
if
you
look
down
here
and
I'm
going
to
try,
my
best
to
use
this
pointer
down
here
is
is
where
our
main
line
is.
H
This
blue
line
is
comes
in,
and
these
are
this:
is
our
rail
yard,
at
the
beginning
of
our
rail
yard
right
here,
so
the
plant
is
and
this
this
map
is
directionally
correct,
it's
north,
the
top
of
its
north,
so
our
plant
is
down
below
that
and
to
the
east,
even
though
it
really
doesn't
show
highway.
212
would
be
along
this
top
edge
right
here
you
can
see
this
is
Little
River
City.
This
is
Napa.
This
is
Hesco.
The
river
comes
right
through
here,
and
then
this
is
Broadway.
H
H
And
we
can
come
back
to
this
map
later
if
we
need
to
another
big
plus
for
water
town
from
the
the
letter
that
Brad
referred
to
this
project
can
potentially
aid
in
reducing
overall
grade
crossing
times
over
the
course
of
a
day,
because
unit
train
service
may
result
in
fewer
trains
less
overall
train
time
at
at
grade
crossings
can
benefit
commuters
and
other
surface
surface
street
traffic.
How
many
of
you
have
received
complaints
about
railroad
crossings
in
this
city?
I
know
I.
Do.
H
We
pull
up
to
212,
we
stop
the
train
almost
clears
to
12,
and
then
it
starts
to
back
up-
and
you
know
it
can
be
very
frustrating.
That's
the
characteristics
of
a
single
car,
shipper,
they're,
staging
and
they're,
using
that
track
to
the
southwest
the
stage
hook.
Unhook
move
cars
around
and,
and
we've
all
been
there
when
we
see
that
and
the
other
part
that
that
I
don't
know
if
you've
noticed
this
occurs
mainly
during
the
daylight
hours,
and
some
people
claim
that
it's
right
during
rush
hour
every
time,
a
rush
minute
here
in
Watertown.
H
So
as
we
see
it
as
a
unit
train
shipper,
the
loops
that
we
would
construct
on
the
map
that
you
saw
and
I
have
copies
of
maps.
If
anybody
is
interested
would
there's
four
loops
there,
they're
capable
of
holding
an
entire
train-
and
you
know
a
good
question
might
be
well.
Why
do
you
need
for
loops?
Well,
as
we
see
it
and
and
the
way
we're
designed
up
in
my
know,
we
need
a
empty
loop
for
full
ethanol
waiting
to
be
pulled
an
empty
loop
for
returning
ethanol.
H
We
needed
a
full
or
an
empty
loop
for
full
distiller
grain
and
an
empty
loop
for
returning
distiller
grain.
Otherwise
we're
going
to
create
the
same
issues
that
we
have
right
right
now
with
this
staging
process
and
in
fact
that's
the
only
way
the
BNSF
will.
Let
us
let
us
design
this.
So
the
train
arrives
with
no
interruption
and
no
back
and
forth
staging
it.
Just
comes
right
in
it
goes
right
into
one
of
those
loops
and
and
and
it's
out
of
the
way,
it's
not
bothering
anybody.
H
We
don't
know
if
they'll
coordinate
a
departure
with
an
arrival
they
may,
if
we're
ready
in
some
cases.
If
the
train
crew
has
odd
hours,
they
may
wait,
wait
a
day
go
get
a
motel
room,
but
basically
when
they
take
off
again,
it's
a
hope.
It's
what
we
call
a
hook
up
and
go.
They
hook
up,
they
charge
everything
up,
they
get
it
ready
and
then
they
depart
and
there's
no
more
of
this
back
and
forth.
H
Since
these
are
96
car
units,
there
would
be
one
crossing
per
arrival
and
one
crossing
per
departure
or
roughly
five
to
six
crossings
per
month.
Trains
keep
moving
when
they're
hooked
to
these
units.
They
keep
moving
and
and
they
do
not
stop
trains
run
at
all
hours
of
the
day.
These
unit
trains.
If,
if
there's
one
destined
to
come
in
and
it's
about
11
o'clock
at
night,
they
are
gonna
continue
until
they
get
here
and
then
they're
gonna
stop
when
they're
in
that
loop.
H
Maintaining
the
status
quo
has
a
cost
for
us
as
well.
The
minor
plant
has
advantages
over
water
town
right
now.
Water
town
is
one
of
the
few
100
million
gallon
plants
without
unit
train
capability.
Water
town
can
make
the
exports
back.
We've
done
it
out
here,
but
we
cannot
ship
it
to
the
export
terminals
which
are
on
the
Gulf.
H
There's
increased
vulnerability
in
winter
months.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
I
think
it
was
2011.
We
had
to
slow
the
plant
down
and-
and
in
fact
we
shipped
by
truck
I
believe
was
a
couple
of
hundred
thousand
gallons
of
ethanol,
so
that
we
could
keep
this
plant
running
in
the
winter.
Last
thing
you
want
to
do
is
shut
it
to
shut
down
an
ethanol
plant
in
the
winter
and,
most
importantly,
the
current
configuration
will
restrict
growth
of
the
Watertown
operation.
H
H
There's
going
to
be
increased
economic
impact.
If
Watertown
can
continue
the
Watertown
plant
and
glacier
Lakes
energy
can
continue
to
compete
and
be
relevant
and
be
on
the
cutting.
There's
gonna
be
some
economic
activity
from
construction.
It's
a
sixteen
million
dollar
project
and
then
I'm,
probably
unfamiliar
with
this
one,
but
there
will
be
I'm.
Surely
there
will
be
a
change
in
property
tax
assessment
on
120
acres
that
we've
we've
have
options
to
purchase?
H
H
In
our
opinion,
the
general
public
wins
enhanced
safety
and
improve
crossing
accessibility
and
just
a
while
back
I
sent
the
council
letter
and
and
I
just
want
to
go
back
through
this
again
just
to
bring
some
of
this
out
glacial
lakes,
energies,
economic
impact,
it's
and,
and
we
employ
a
hundred
and
twenty
between
the
two
plants
specifically
to
Watertown.
We
have
70
employees
here
that
average
would
be
somewhat
higher
because
the
administration
is
here
and
so
of
Watertown
is,
is
the
home
base
and
enjoys
the
the
the
higher
of
purchasing
power
of
the
administrative
office.
H
We
between
the
two
plants
we
pay
annual
taxes
of
over
four
million
dollars.
We
are
we
reinvest.
We
keep
up
the
plants
as
as
we
need
to,
and
all
of
this
adds
property
value,
but
we're
not
your
normal
seventy
employee
business.
So
what's
different
about
us,
we're
a
cooperative
and
the
value
that
we
add
the
dollars
that
we
add
to
this
product.
This
corn
kernel
that
that's
converted
to
ethanol,
distiller
grain
is
returned
to
our
shareholders,
so
I'm
going
to
jump
to
jump
down
to
the
second
bullet
since
2014
we've
distributed.
H
Seventy
eight
point:
six
million
to
our
shareholders.
Fifty-Five
percent
of
that
is
to
the
Watertown
trade
area,
which
I've
defined
Coddington
County
and
every
county
touching
Coddington
County.
So
if
we're
pulling
in
folks
from
County
to
do
business
here,
that
number
could
could
very
well
be
higher.
This
is
money
that
is
sent
out
cash.
M
H
Is
sent
out
and
spent
locally?
That's
where
we're
different,
our
project
timeline
fall
of
2015.
We
would
look
to
close
on
the
land
purchases
and
finalize
project
design.
We
would
formulate
a
request
to
vacate
brought.
The
request
to
vacate.
Broadway
process
begins
winner
of
2015
approvals
from
FEMA,
BNSF
and
others
finalized
construction
bids.
We
need
to
go
to
Pere
and
talk
to
the
South
Dakota
Department
of
Transportation
next
spring.
We
would
look
to
move
dirt
with
a
completion
date
of
next
fall.
H
What's
needed
from
the
council,
we
would
want
you
to
know
that
we
are
working
with
the
concerned.
Businesses.
We've
made
contact
with
three
of
the
businesses
out
there,
ready
Hesco
and
dakota
bodies
and
in
Little
River
City.
We
would
look
for
the
support
of
the
mayor
and
city
council
and
we
would
want
to
begin
the
process
to
vacate
Broadway
between
essentially
between
Hesco
and
the
by-paths.
L
L
H
That's
a
that's
a
very
good
question:
Don
I,
you
know:
we've
we've
left
that
possibility
open.
We
don't
know
exactly
what
the
railroad
would
think
about
a
crossing
through
this
loop.
I
can
tell
you
that
this
area
down
here
is
all
switches
and
whether
it's
feasible
to
put
a
crossing
there.
We
certainly
can't
have
the
trains
will
essentially,
you
know
start
over
on
this
side
and
likely
end
somewhere
here,
that's
roughly
what
what
it's
going
to
take
for
the
96
cars.
H
L
B
One
of
the
things
I'd
like
to
mention
so
the
council
knows
is
that
prior
to
the
the
bypass
will
join
in,
there
was
a
round
net
30
to
34
hundred
cars
going
up
and
down
Broadway,
and
once
the
bypass
went
well.
What
did
I
give
you
guys
last
time
for
a
number
with
that
we
had
a.
We
did
a
test
out
there.
We
put
him
out.
B
G
B
B
H
N
This
question
isn't
exactly
on
point
but
I'll.
Ask
anyway,
I
know
you're
trying
to
be
proactive
relative
to
the
export
market.
Any
comments
about
what's
happening
out
in
washed
I
know
that
the
ethanol
industry
has
not
got
the
favor
anymore,
that
it
has
in
years
past.
Any
comments
that
you
may
want
to
make
to
that.
You.
H
Guys,
well,
we
haven't
given
up
the
fight.
In
fact,
you're
gonna
see
that
fight
mainly
pick
up
here
in
Watertown.
We
feel
that
Watertown
is
a
prime
location,
to
you
know,
bring
some
things
to
the
surface
and
in
in
the
form
of
higher
blends.
You
know,
I
could
sit
here
all
night
and
talk
about
this
Glen
and
and
I
appreciate
the
question
we
haven't
given
up
the
fight
and
as
I
see
it
as
we
see
it.
H
Government
step
away
from
ethanol,
we
got
to
take
this
product
somewhere
and
in
fact
you
could
maybe
argue
that
that
even
makes
our
case
a
little
bit
more
strong
because
we
got
to
have
a
way
in
Watertown
here
to
get
that
that
ethanol
out
of
this
country,
it's
interesting
that
we
seem
to
be
going.
One
way
on
on
the
ethanol
blends
in
some
of
these
other
countries
are
going,
the
other
we're
passing
each
other
they're
going
higher
and
we're
we,
you
know,
and
and
really
what's
at
work.
H
I
Something
that
speaks
to
on
the
exports
is
just
the
absolute
efficiency
of
the
American
farmer
to
be
able
to
grow,
grow,
corn
cheaply
and
the
American
ethanol
industry
be
able
to
produce
it
cheaply.
I
mean
to
be
competitive
in
world
markets
all
the
way
over
to
China,
where
they've
got
corn,
they
have
ethanol
plants,
yet
they
prefer
to
bring
our
product
in.
There
speaks
volumes,
so
you
basically
it's
a
it's
a
it's
a
perfect
situation
as
far
as
free
trade
goes
make.
H
H
B
K
B
Council
to
really
look
more
towards
the
Broadway
I
think
I
know
that
your
your
expectations
for
the
ethanol
industry
is
is
going
to
grow,
leaps
and
bounds,
and
we
believe
in
that
story
with
you,
but
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
get
back
to
Broadway
and
kind
of
give
us
a
handle
on
what's
moving
along
on
that.
What
do
you
need
from
us?
What
are
you,
after?
What
are
we
going
to
do
with
the
bridge
things
like
that
I
think
we
need
to
have
that
kind
of
a
discussion.
Okay,.
H
We
are,
we
are
on
the
east
side
of
Broadway,
we
have
that's
the
Aundre
property
and
we
have
exercised
our
option
to
purchase
that
we
have
a
small
sliver
in
the
southwest
corner
of
this
project.
That's
that's
a
property
owned
by
the
city
of
Watertown
and
we've
got
a
purchase
agreement
in
place
for
that.
So
we
own
the
property
on
both
sides
of
Broadway
we've
positioned
ourselves.
H
We've
we've
visited
as
we
mentioned,
we
visited
with
Hesco
they're,
very
supportive
of
us.
We
are
of
them.
We
feel
that
I
didn't
know
much
about
Hesco
prior
to
prior
to
this
project,
and
they've
got
some
good
things
going
on
there
of
they're,
probably
one
of
water
town's
best
kept
secrets.
It's
interesting
just
to
listen
to
Brad
over
there
and-
and
you
know,
hit
talk
about
his
opportunities
and
things
he
sees
coming
his
way.
H
We
have
sat
down
with
Little
River
City
several
occasions.
We
would
like
to
diversify
them
towards
higher
blends
of
ethanol.
They
do
not
have
what
we
call
the
blender
pumps
or
flex
pumps
right
now,
we'd
like
through
their
state
money's
available
to
replace
those
their
their
infrastructure,
we'd
like
them
to
involve
themselves
in
that
process.
I
think.
H
Think
at
one
point
there
was
a
discussion
with
and
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
look,
but
a
discussion
with
Watertown
Fire
and
Watertown
police
department.
They
they
really
didn't,
have
many
concerns
about
about
that
response
time.
So
obviously,
we'd
have
to
formalize
all
of
that
and
make
sure
that
yeah.
B
O
Would
what
would
the
would
happen
to
Broadway
as
it
crosses
the
river,
then
that
does
that
just
become
a
cul-de-sac,
or
is
that
become
an
entrance
point
for
Hesco?
Well,
what
happens
and
I
know
that
bridges
has
been
slated
to
get
replaced
now,
I,
don't
know
how
that
changes
or
comes
into
play
here.
If
it
no
longer
becomes
a
through
Street,
it
only
becomes
an
access
point
for
Hesco.
So
I'd
like
to
understand
that
just
a
little
bit
Mike.
H
So
that's
24
trips
plus
you
know
I've
looked
out
there
and
they
probably
have
all
8
to
8
cars
or
so
so
those
are
employees
that
are
coming
and
going.
The
question
is,
and
it's
a
good
question:
would
that
bridge
still
need
the
attention
it
needs
if
the
the
loads
were
lightened
or
would
the
design
of
the
bridge
change
and
and
I
don't
have
the
answers
to
that
I,
you
know.
That's.
That's
part
of
the
discussion
with
the
state
is.
B
P
The
bridge
that
was
the
first
bridge
south
of
212
as
I
understood
it
was
scheduled
for
replacement.
Now
that
could
be
subject
to
change.
Based
on
the
proposal
that
glacial
lakes,
energy
is
coming
forward
with
the
minimum
I
be
careful,
I
won't
say
the
right
words,
but
the
minimum
Road
use
is
actually
based
on
the
Brij
further
south
near
the
railroad
track
crossing
as
it
is
now
that
is
so.
The
the
road
use
is
limited
by
that
bridge,
not
not
the
bridge.
H
B
E
H
D
H
Q
Correct
correct
and
what
would
happen?
Jim
is
post
closing
once
G
Olli
is
the
owner
on
both
sides.
You'd
simply
do
a
do
a
petition
and
those
are
those
are
forms
that
that
we
have
electronically
and
we
get
get
to
you
folks
and
avoid
reinventing
the
wheel.
It's
just
gonna
require
a
legal
description
of
the
area
that
you're
petitioning
be
vacated
and
then,
of
course,
will
visit
with
the
utilities
and
coordinate
all
that.
Q
O
Question
I
have
is
I'll,
go
back
to
this
bridge
if
we
were
to
continue
having
Broadway
there
and
if
we
were
to
have
to
replace
that
bridge,
as
has
been
looked
at
and
planned
for,
we
would
be
paying
a
relatively
small
portion
of
cost
of
that
bridge
reflection.
Is
that
correct
if
the
bridge
would
still
need
to
be
replaced
and
the
state's
no
longer
interested
in
putting
a
bridge
in
there
to
get
to
one
business?
Who
bears
the
cost
of
that
bridge?.
B
B
R
M
S
Craig
Atkins
of
the
Watertown
development
company
I
think
one
thing
as
part
of
the
conversations
with
the
state
as
it
relates
to
the
bridge.
Really.
The
reality
is
that
both
do
TE
and
GED
and
the
governor's
office
have
said
to
us.
We
need
you
as
a
community
to
tell
us
what
your
desire
is
and
then
we'll
work
with
you
on
how
the
bridge
will
be
replaced.
S
So
it's
really
critical
I
guess
that
we
know
whether
or
not
we
have
to
support
the
closed
Broadway
first
before
we
really
understand
the
bridge
costs
and
how
we're
going
to
pay
for
that,
and
you
know,
I
think
the
indications
are
that
d-o-t
is
initially
indicated
that
look.
You
know
if
this
isn't
going
to
service
any
other
community
or
any
other
businesses,
we're
kind
of
hard-pressed
to
do
that,
but
the
flipside
of
is
is
they've
also
indicated
that
you
know.
S
S
S
Part
of
that
discussion
and
along
with
the
highway
to
1281
corner,
was
that
the
city
would
take
over
ownership
and
maintenance
of
I
think
it's
Highway
139
the
road
that
runs
on
the
west
side
of
the
lake
d-o-t
agreed
to
resurface
that
road
and
then
in
exchange
for
that
the
city
accepted
maintenance
and
responsibility
for
it
from
then
on.
So
it's
not
it's
not
that
this
is
a
new
precedence.
S
It's
just
they're
really
looking
for
us
to
and
when
I
say
they
I'm
talking
in
general
terms,
the
governor's
office
goe,
D
and
D
ot
to
provide
them
with
some
direction
from
what
we'd
like
to
do
as
a
community
and
then
from
that
perspective,
I
think
they're
open
to
discussing
the
most
cost-effective
way
to
accomplish
that
for
all
the
parties.
Ged
and
the
governor's
office
obviously
are
extremely
supportive
of
this
project.
S
H
H
Of
the
bridge,
if
we
can
close,
the
Broadway
allows
us
as
we
as
we
pointed
out
tonight,
to
access
markets,
and
you
know
maybe
back
to
forget
who
asks
the
question
might
have
been
Glen
about.
What
are
you
gonna
do
with
Washington
head
south
on
ethanol?
Well,
we
just
remember
we
can
reach
export
markets
with
our
mind
a
plant.
We
cannot
with
our
Watertown
plant.
H
H
O
It's
something
that
we,
you
know
do
two
things
that
I
I
have
is
one
is
the.
We
would
certainly
want
to
go
through
a
public
input
process
in
regards
to
the
closure
and
see
what
other
individuals
within
the
community
have
for
for
concerns
or
or
the
lack
of
concern.
You
know
it
will
we'll
get
some
input
there
and
then
the
second
comes
down
to
the
question
of
the
bridge
is:
what's
that
cost
couldn't
be?
Who
bears
that
cost,
but
I
think
we
have
to
go
through
that
process.
Now?
L
I'd
ask
the
question:
if
you
guys
will
give
us
or
entertain
us
with
a
little
blue
sky.
If
this
all
goes
forward,
your
current
plant,
yeah
I,
think
you
said
about
120
million
gallons
per
year.
How
big
can
you
grow
that
plant
before
it
becomes
any
efficient?
You
have
to
build
a
second
plant
and
if
you
had
to
build
a
second
plant,
can
you
leverage
this
infrastructure
with
that
so
we're?
In
other
words,
where
do
you
guys
go
from
here
to
grow
the
plant?
Well,.
H
We
we
would
as
we're
current
currently
configured.
We
would
not
be
able
to
increase
our
production
at
this
point.
We
are,
we
are
tapped
out,
I
mean
I
earlier
that
our
folks
do
wonderful
things
and
in
in
you
know
to
get
these
cars
moving,
but
there's
there
there
is
a
limit.
So
if
we
were
to
go
forward
with
this
project,
I
mean
we
could
virtually
assuming
it's
cost-effective.
H
We
could
double
the
size
of
this
plant
and
maybe
more
and
I'm
not
saying
we
would
but
I
mean
all
that's
got
a
pencil
out,
but
it
certainly
would
provide
the
capability,
especially
given
some
of
the
space
that
we
have.
Currently
we
have
you
know
the
20
acres
or
so
that
we
bought
from
Development
Corp
or
from
the
city
on
the
west
side
of
the
tracks
right
around
Dakota
bodies.
We
have
space
behind
the
plant,
and
so
I
mean
that
would
be
the
natural
location.
T
E
Of
the
things
that
I'm
thinking
of
as
I'm
making
my
notes
here
and
I
don't
disagree
with
you
know
the
information
and
the
public
input,
or
something
like
that,
but
I
think
one
of
the
things
that
stands
out
to
me
is
also
the
amount
of
dollars
that
G
le
is
putting
into
this
project.
I
mean
you
know
if
we
take
a
look
at
the
kind
of
money
that
they're
investing
the
increase
in
the
tax
base
and
all
those
types
of
things
I
think
it's
worth
it
for
us
to
be
a
proponent.
E
B
E
B
B
M
H
Am
I
correct
on
that
right,
I
mean
the
difference
in
in
our
tax
rates
and
you
Watertown
I
mean
we
pay
City
Taxi
R
in
Watertown
on
on
all
the
goods
and
services
and
the
state
comes
out
on
audits,
our
records
and
says:
hey
you
didn't
you
didn't
pay
taxes
on
this
law
firm
in
Minnesota.
You
need
to
pay
your
6%
on
that
or
whatever
the
rate
is
so
I
mean
that
nothing
gets
by
and
up
in
miner
that
rates
4%.
It's
just
the
state
tax
because
we're
out
an
unincorporated
Edmonds
County.
H
H
U
U
If
you
increase
the
question
mayor
had,
if
you
increase
the
the
volume
of
production
or
what
you
buy
in
the
market
that
won't
affect
our
purchases
for
natural
gas
for
the
city
of
Watertown,
will
we
do
our
own
purchases
g
le
does
their
own
purchases?
So
whatever
price
we
get
is
what
we
is,
what
we've
got
for
the
city
so.
N
U
Substation,
whereas
we're
adding
that
28
and
B
MB
a
transformer
there,
so
we're
doubling
our
capacity.
It's
not
necessarily
just
4G
Elliot's
for
the
area,
but
we're
adding
capacity
there
for
increased
loads.
G
elyes
has
grown
and
that's
caused
us
to
get.
You
know
up
to
our
operating
capacity
there
so
would.
B
U
Know
we
have,
we
have
right,
aways
in
place.
Public
right
away
is
on
Broadway.
If
you
close
down
Broadway
like
you,
do
any
Street
vacation,
we
always
asked
for
utility
easements
that
we
have
in
place
to
remain
in
place.
So
we
continue
to
operate
those
you
know
any
any
cost.
If
you
go
back
to
the
map
the
loop
there
are
along
along
the
extension,
there
are
some
overhead
lines
that
that
are
in
that
area.
That'll
need
to
be
addressed
as
we
move
forward.
U
H
U
E
Q
Q
K
Q
It's
a
petition
process.
You
vacate
right-of-way,
occasionally
to
you
know
if
we've
got
eight
and
80
foot
right-of-way
and
we
only
technically
need
you
know
66
you,
the
mayor
and
council,
have
gotten
petitions
over
in
the
past.
For
that
you
know
to
to
narrow
the
right-of-way,
because
it's
bigger
than
we
actually
need
so
with
working
with
Jim.
We
can
get
him
copies
of
petitions
that
you
folks
have
received
in
the
past
and
acted
on
and,
like
I
said
it's
just
simply
a
matter
of
plugging
in
the
right
legal
description
and.
E
Q
Wouldn't
be
an
ordinance,
it
would
be
a
resolution
vacating
it.
So
resolutions
only
require
one
reading,
but
there
would
be
a
public
process
the
there
you
know
just
like
tonight
there
that
the
City
Council
would
formally
take
action
on
it,
there'd
be
a
public
process.
So
because
it's
a
resolution
it
would
only
require
one
reading
to
become
effective
and,
depending
on
the
timing
of
things
you
folks
have
in
the
past,
adopted
resolutions
and
ordinances.
Let's
say
you
adopt
the
emergency
clause.
Q
It
says
this
is
necessary
for
the
immediate
preservation,
if
glacial
lakes
is
just
wants
that
assurance
that
that,
in
fact
the
vacation
is
going
to
happen,
you
guys
could
could
include
language
in
that
it
says,
look
the
date.
This
resolution
is
passed,
it
becomes
effective,
so
there
isn't
that
waiting
period
in
case
that's
necessary.
O
Jim
I
have
a
question
for
you.
It's
a
lot
of
that
land
that
Hatton
land,
especially
to
the
north,
when
we've
had
floods,
is
underwater
and
the
proximity
of
this
to
the
to
the
input
to
Lake
Pelican
and
to
the
Sioux.
Wherever
that
that
then
heads
downriver
is
that
being
considered
in
this
design
and
in
what
type
of
I
guess
plans
are
in
place,
that
would
would
prevent
if
there
was
a
leak
or
something
that
would
prevent
that
from
getting
into
the
river
into
Lake.
O
H
The
the
as
far
as
I
presume
yours,
you're
speaking
to
the
ninety
six
cars
full
unit
train
sitting
there
I
mean
the
the
likelihood
of
all
ninety-six
cars
leaking
at
once
would
be
very,
very
remote
if
at
all,
I
think
you
know
a
spill,
I
mean
we've.
We've
got
the
same
risk
at
glacial
lakes,
energy,
the
the
property
drains
toward
the
river,
so
I
I
mean
I,
I!
Guess
I
I
could
argue
that
there's
you
know,
maybe
a
greater
disbursement
of
that
risk.
H
We've
we've
we've
got
impeccable
safety
and
environmental
compliance
record,
and,
and
we
would
we
would-
we
would
be
leaning
on
what
we're
currently
doing,
which
is
really
complying
with
whatever's
out
there
and
and
certainly
and
ethanol,
is
biodegradable.
Let's,
let's
not
forget
that
ethanol
is
bio,
gradable
and
you
know
I'm
not
gonna,
say
it
won't,
kill,
Fish
and
Wildlife,
because
if
it's
in
highest
high
concentrations,
that
will
happen,
but
it's
a.
L
M
B
That's
what
I'm!
That's
what
I'm
going
to
do
right
now?
I
need
to
I
need
to
get
a
feeling
from
you
guys
if
you
think
that
it's
a
solution
to
to
a
glacial
lake
that
they
get
this
loop
track
going
by
closing,
Broadway
and
and
I
would
just
you
know,
get
a
feeling
from
everyone
as
we
go
down
here,
so
that
they
have
a
feeling
and
they
understand
where
we're
at
as
council
moving
forward.
No.
G
I
have
basically
no
issues
other
than
what
results
in
the
bridge
and
we
work
through
the
process
on
that
I
just
like
to
know
what
the
concept
is
going
to
be.
Therefore,
s
:,
obviously
they've
been
there.
So
we
can't
just
ignore
that
situation.
We've
got
to
work
through
that,
but
otherwise
I'm
in
favor
of
trying
to
make
this
happen.
I.
R
Would
say
you
know,
that's
my
ward
out
there,
those
people
that
are
gonna
be
affected
most
by
this,
and
my
my
concern
is
safety.
If
you're
gonna
be
diverting
1,100
cars
a
day,
is
it
most
of
them
will
go
to
212
right
now.
We
have
no,
no
stoplight,
no
roundabouts.
No
nothing
right
now
so
curious
as
to
when
that's
slated
to
be
done
are.
R
B
L
F
O
F
And,
and
as
long
as
you've
worked
with
the
other
property
owners-
and
they
have
no
objection
I
would
you
know
I
would
find
no
reason
to
object
to
it
myself.
I
want
to
see
glacial
lakes,
be
just
as
aggressive
as
possible.
I,
like
the
word
export
put
it
that
way,
I
like
to
see
somebody
else's
money
in
in
our
pocketbook,
so
I
would
have
no
objection
at
all.
I
mean
you'd,
get
my
total
support,
so
I
guess.
N
J
J
E
Everybody
else
has
said
everything
else
said:
I
need
that's
what
happens
when
you
sit
at
the
end.
You
know,
but
I
am
have
always
been
in
support
of
this
project
and
I
have
a
little
bit
of
understanding
about
trains
and
I
would
love
to
not
have
sit
so
long
and
4th
Avenue
waiting
for
the
train
to
go
back
and
forth,
and
I
can
also
hear
them
go
crash,
but
I
think
it's
a
great
project
and
I
think
anytime.
E
B
Yeah,
let's
just
say,
Beth
you're
up
well.
Thank
you,
gentlemen.
We
sure
appreciate
you
taking
the
time
for
us
I
think
you
have
a
pretty
good
feel
as
to
how
the
council
lives
on
that
and
lit
and
breathes
on
it.
I
think
by
working
with
Craig
and
the
Department
of
Transportation
and
the
governor's
office
I
know
we've
had
meetings
with
the
d-o-t
and
pier
together
and
they
seem
very
positive
about
it.
They
were
excited
to
hear
about
this,
so
I'm
just
really
thinking
we're
ready
to
go
the.
B
B
X
Y
D
Good
evening-
and
this
reminds
me
of
the
story
of
Jesus-
that
to
let
the
little
children
come
on
to
him
and
as
a
member
of
the
city
of
Watertown,
I'm,
very
honored
tonight,
to
be
able
to
say
the
prayer
that
the
boys
have
come
here
on
to
the
City
Council
meeting
to
lead
this.
And
so
at
this
time
we
would
like
to
open
in
prayer
dear
Heavenly
Father.
D
We
thank
you
for
the
opportunities
that
you
give
us
each
and
every
day
to
learn
from
each
other
and
to
have
an
open
forum
with
the
Boys
Scouts
here
tonight
at
the
city
of
Watertown
prayer
meeting
and
council
meeting,
and
we're
just
saying
to.
Please
bless
this
meeting,
to
have
folks
open
to
new
ideas
and
concepts
and
to
let
the
troops
learn
tonight
as
they
are
experiencing
something
out
of
the
ordinary.
D
Let
the
councilmembers
also
be
of
wisdom
and
leadership
to
these
young
boys
and
as
they
grow,
to
help
our
nation
to
be
strong,
as
they
come
up
into
the
ranks
of
leadership
roles
in
our
community
in
our
nation.
Thank
you
God
for
the
blessings
you
bestow
upon
us
and
that
we
just
ask
that
you
cover
this
meeting
in
prayer
tonight
and
watch
over
the
things
and
the
events
of
Watertown
and
the
surrounding
communities
in
our
nation
in
Jesus
name.
We
pray.

Z
Y
V
Z
K
X
B
X
M
K
M
X
X
X
M
M
B
B
N
B
B
Yeah,
these
actually
had
some
type
of
a
violation
during
the
last
year,
whether
they
sold
to
minors,
or
something
like
that,
and
and
that's
why
we
actually
about
a
year
ago,
put
it
in
place
that
when
there
was
a
violation,
they
had
to
come
back
to
the
City
Council
to
get
that
approval
right.
So
we
couldn't
put
the
yeah.
We
couldn't
put
them
on
the
consent
agenda.
O
AB
Probably
the
easiest
way
the
explain
this
would
be
a
news
release
that
we
put
out
on
March
11
2015.
At
that
time
it
said
the
Watertown
police
department
conducted
alcohol
compliance
checks
at
nine,
various
on
and
off
sale
alcohol
establishments
in
Watertown,
six
of
the
nine
businesses
that
were
checked
failed.
AB
Those
that
passed
were
Johnny,
Ringo,
casino
Willie's
and
the
goldmine
casino,
those
that
failed
were
four
seasons
to
twelve
casino
number,
one
casino,
magic
mile,
Casino,
winner's
circle,
casino
and
Foxy's
Cansino,
so
as
basically
as
a
alcohol
compliance
check
to
see
if
these
businesses
were
selling
to
minor
minor
individuals.
As
far
as
the
number
of
times
I
don't
know
that
answer
other
than
that.
This
news
release.
O
V
M
B
X
Q
Thank
You
mr.
mayor
the
that,
though,
at
the
last
meeting
the
the
council
had
first
reading
on
this
proposed
revision
and
if
you
look
at
second
reading,
there
was
a
change,
a
minor
change
to
that.
But
I
mentioned
that
during
first
readings.
So
the
council
would
be
expecting
it.
But
the
ordinance
that's
before
you
tonight
is
the
one
that
we
discussed
briefly
at
first
reading
and
and
I
think
the
mayor
and
would
recommend
that
it
be
approved.
N
I
just
had
a
question
or
a
comment
as
I
as
I.
Look
at
the
ordinance
the
people
that
we're
looking
at
adding
or
on
this
committee.
All
report
to
the
mayor
is
that
correct:
okay,
I
I'm
not
opposed
to
it,
but
I
I'm.
Just
thinking
that
you
know
may
not
have
been
a
bad
idea
to
have
somebody
from
an
elected
capacity
on
that
committee.
Just
I
just
want
to
throw
that
out
as
a
concern
of
mine
on
this.
Q
If
I,
could
mr.
mayor
make
one
point
of
clarification
that
that
the
proposed
ordinance
that's
before
you
tonight
does
not
actually
establish
a
committee
and
because,
in
the
event
of
committee
were
established,
that
would
trigger
the
the
open
meetings,
the
statutes
and,
and
so
the
language
of
the
ordinance
is
clear
that
it's
not
a
committee
but
you're
right.
The
reporting
processes
through
those
department
heads
to
the
mayor.
Y
P
Thank
You,
mayor
and
city
council,
this
project
was
brought
to
the
engineering
staff
by
petition,
so
the
project
was
developed
to
improve
the
an
alley
known
as
project
alley.
Project
1501
be
the
so
we
proceeded
with
construction
and
taking
competitive
bids.
The
original
contract
was
in
the
amount
of
seventeen
thousand
eight
hundred
and
eighty
seven
dollars.
There
was
some
city
participation
in
the
project
and
so
the
after
that
and
some
deductions
by
minor
change
order.
The
assessable
amount
was
fifteen
thousand
ten
dollars
and
38
cents.
P
G
P
Y
Q
You,
mr.
mayor,
if
the
council
recalls
during
the
last
work
session,
a
conversation
was
whether
or
not
the
city
should
consider
amending
the
ordinance
which
currently
prohibits
on
sale,
licensees
from
selling
any
kind
of
distilled
spirits
on
Sunday
we're.
Currently,
only
malt
beverages
is
allowed
for
off
sale
licensees
to
sell.
So
it
was
the
council's
recommendation
that
this
ordinance
revision
be
brought
forward
for
consideration.
So
with
that,
mr.
mayor
I'll
turn
it
over
to
you.
I.
B
Think
I
think
Stanton.
There
are
some
questions
from
the
council
that
was
would
might
like
to
make
a
change
at
this
time
on
this,
so
you're
welcome
to
as
a
council
to
to
speak
on
this
I
know
we
didn't
get
a
lot
of
time
involved
on.
It
is
first
reading,
but
there's
a
good
chance
to
to
change
this.
If
you
wanted
yeah.
R
Q
Know
my
and
mine
Thank
You
alderman
Thorson,
my
memory
during
the
work
session
last
time
was
when
the
proponent
came
before
you
and
talked
about
the
I
believe
it
was.
Maybe
the
mayor
or
somebody
in
the
work
session.
Ask
the
applicant
the
proponent
of
this
change,
whether
those
times
were
acceptable,
and
they
said
yes.
So
that's
why
it's
before
you,
but
I
can
certainly
make
that
revision
for
second
reading
I
would.
F
F
Q
F
Like
I,
say,
I
think
we
just
end
up
with
a
lot
of
opposition.
There
I
think
we're
gonna
open
up
a
can
of
worms.
If
we
do
that,
then
you're
also
going
to
get
the
on
sale
license.
Holders
that
are
gonna
want
to
open
up
at
7
o'clock
and
Sunday
morning
and
I.
Don't
think
that's
the
intent
of
anybody,
but
they
have
a
you
know
they
would
have
that
same
option
to
come
back
and
ask
us
to
allow
them
to
open.
At
the
same
time,
the
liquor
stores
did
so
I.
E
Q
The
way
the
ordinance
reads
is,
as
you
have
before
you,
the
proposed
change
that
the
current
currently
the
ordinance
says
no
licensed
shisha
sell,
are
allowed
to
be
consumed.
Any
malt
beverages
prior
to
1
o'clock
on
any
Sunday
package.
Liquor
licenses
may
sell
malt
beverage
from
Sun
on
Sunday
from
1
o'clock
to
12
o'clock
and,
and
my
memory
is
that
the
person
who
came
before
you
said
6
o'clock
on
Sunday
would
be
fine,
the
trips
back
and
forth
on
to
12.
That
would
I
guess
the
thought.
Q
O
From
my
my
position
is,
is
I
think
we
should
leave
it
at
one
o'clock
and
and
if
the
the
current
licensees
the
license
holders
want
to
come
at
the
second
reading
and
come
before
the
council
and
justify
in
earlier
start
time,
then
they
should
be
doing
that.
But
unless
that
happens
and
there's
good
reason
to
change
it,
I
think
we
should
be
changed.
Staying
with
the
when.
Q
And
one
o'clock
is
set
by
state
statute
in
title
35
and
even
though
water
towns,
a
home
world
charter
community,
the
legislature
and
peers,
said
you
know,
look
when
it
comes
to
all
things:
alcohol
regulation,
even
if
you're
a
Home,
Rule
Charter
state
statute,
is
preempted.
The
field
which
means
cities
can't
adopt
their
own
rules.
You
can,
if
they
want
to
self,
impose
a
shorter
opening
time
they
can,
but
state
statutes
spells
out
one.
They
can
be
opened.
Q
B
Q
B
B
Y
Q
You
mr.
mayor's,
as
the
council
knows,
this
was
part
of
the
last
the
last
meeting,
where
the
council
suggested
that
this
be
brought
forward
for
consideration
to
amend
the
current
residency
requirements,
which
requires
city
employees
to
live
within
Cottington
County.
This
revision,
if
approved,
would
open
that
up
to
allow
city
employees
to
live
anywhere
within
the
state
of
South
Dakota
dan.
Q
AC
Thank
You
Marion
counsel
I'm
here
tonight
to
to
give
you
my
thoughts
on
this.
This
new
ordinance,
Watertown,
Fire
Rescue,
probably
wouldn't
be
in
favor
of
this
because
of
a
couple
reasons
one
of
them
is
most
of
our
big
fires
require
a
20-minute
response:
that's
when
our
most
labor-intensive
part
of
that
fires,
and
so
guys
that
are
employees
that
are
any
further
out
than
that
art
is
as
useful.
AC
AC
Yes
good
so
so
we
work
a
24-hour
shift
schedule
for
the
majority
of
our
department
and
24-hour
hours,
Anand,
40
and
hours
off,
and
that
would
give
us
some
more
leeway
to
probably
even
live
further
out
and
not
be
able
to
respond,
because
we'd
only
have
to
report
to
duty
every
third
day
versus
an
eight-hour
employer,
something
that
would
have
to
come
in
every
day.
So
that
part
of
it
too
would
would
potentially
have
us
hiring
employees
that
could
go
be
further
out.
Then,
how.
E
AC
Believe
it
really
hasn't
most,
the
majority
of
our
employees
live
within
a
city
limits
or
or
within
a
few
miles
of
the
city
limits,
and
you
know,
there's
there's
some
question
and
on
Cottington
County
when
you,
when
you're
looking
at
26
27
miles
out
to
the
north-northwest,
really
has
an
impact
at
us.
So
we
don't
have
any
employees
that,
to
my
knowledge
that
live
out
there,
that
far
out
and
and
really
hasn't
been
a
problem.
As
far
as
kind
of
thing,
County
goes
because.
AC
AC
So
right
now
we
have
a
call-in
list,
it's
a
voluntary
calling
list
and
we
pick
our
overtime
from
that.
We
currently
do
not
have
pagers
if
we
did
have
pagers.
That
would
also
create
a
problem,
because
if
you
are
on
a
pager
or
any
department
that
does
carry
pagers,
you
would
be
required
to
be
within
a
certain
distance
from
from
duty
to
be
able
to
respond
in
in
the
fire
Nemus.
Yes,
it
would,
it
would
call
it.
AC
Q
I
think
that
that
I
understand
your
question.
Bad
thing,
I
think
that
that
rabbit
hole.
Okay,
why
I
know
and
not
wanting
to
single
out
any
particular
position
in
the
city
but
I
know
in
other
conversations,
we've
had
about
this
back
in
2014
I
believe
and
we
were
amending
it
to
expand
it
to
Cottington,
County
and
I.
Believe
some
comments
were
made
in
in
relation
to
emergency
services.
E
Q
Of
that
yeah
we
could
I
think
the
the
only
thing
you'd
want
to
avoid
is
if
somebody
came
to
work
and
the
conditional
their
offer
of
employment.
Didn't
say,
oh
by
the
way
so
they're
already
wind,
the
city,
employee
and
then
we're
sort
of
changing
their
rules,
midstream,
but
I
think
future
moving
forward
off.
We
could.
We
could
include
language
like
that
and
future
employees,
but
I
think
with
working
with
Doug
and
his
command
staff.
O
Somewhere
in
that
range,
you
may
be
what
we
should
do
instead
of
going
statewide
on
this.
Maybe
what
we
should
be
doing
is
is
talk
about
a
twenty
eight
mile
radius
of
Watertown
or
thirty.
Some
number
I
don't
care,
but
if
we're
already
dealing
with
twenty
eight
one
way,
why
not
deal
with
it
on
a
circular
basis
and
and
leave
it
at
that?
O
Then,
because
we've
already
we're
already
dealing
with
the
twenty
eight
miles
now-
and
you
know,
we've
got
communities
that
are
are
supporting
this
community
every
day
and
certainly
well
within
the
twenty-eight
mile
distance,
and
if
they've
got
people
there.
That
would
be
good
employees
for
the
city
of
art
and
I.
Don't
want
to
miss
that
opportunity.
So
maybe,
instead
of
the
the
statewide
allowance,
maybe
we
should
open
it
up
and
just
and
go
to
a
twenty-eight
mile
radius
and
that's
just
a
lot.
B
And
I
think
that's
been
discussed.
You
know
to
go
with
the
radius.
You
know
it's
just
a
matter
if
we
go
27
miles,
30
miles
or
40
miles,
whatever,
whatever
the
council
really
wants
to
look
at,
we
can
put
that
and
have
Stanton
revise
this.
This
ordinance,
so
maybe
maybe
tomorrow,
just
send
me
an
email
where
you're
all
kind
of
standing
on
for
the
mileage
and
doug's.
You
got
to
be
okay
with
that
I
mean
with
the
27,
and
you.
G
AC
You
know
the
thing
is
like
I
said:
currently
we
don't
have
pagers.
If
we
ever
did
go
to
a
pager
type
system,
they
would
have
to
be,
they
would
have
to
make
plans.
If
they
did
live
about
28
miles.
They
would
have
to
make
plans
to
to
be
closer
than
that,
possibly
if
they
were
if
they
were
carrying
a
pager
to
be
to
be
there
within
reason,
but
currently.
B
B
Of
the
things
also
Doug
I
know
that
Mike
Berger
is
not
really
in
favor
of
this.
At
the
wastewater
plant,
he's
got
three
four
employees
there,
that
is
on
on-call.
You
know
most
of
the
time
and
and
if
there's
a
problem
at
the
wastewater
plant,
you
know
something's
going
to
get
called
in
and
and
for
them
to
be
out
25
miles
or
I
know
they
have
that
ability
right
now,
but
we
don't
have
anybody
out
that
far,
but
they
do
they
do
have
to
carry
their
phones.
B
AA
B
J
Mayor
just
just
we
have
some
other
folks
here
too
I
think
that
the
police
department
might
be
wanting
to
represent
just
a
little
bit
tonight,
as
well
as
the
street
department.
I
was
robbed
here.
Okay
we'd
talked
earlier
today
about
some
of
the
challenges
they
might
encounter
with.
This.
Obviously,
weather
is
the
big
thing
we
gotta
contend
with
here:
road
closures,
that
kind
of
thing.
So,
if
if
we
could
accommodate
them
just
to
speak
their
piece
a
little
bit
on
this
I'd
appreciate
it
sure.
AB
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
I
have
spoke
with
chief
McPeak
this
afternoon
about
this
proposed
ordinance.
Chief
McPeak
main
concern
was
inclement
weather.
Should
we
get
a
snowstorm
and
we
have
an
employee
that
lives?
You
know
15
20
miles
out.
Are
they
gonna
be
able
to
report
for
work
or
are
they
gonna
have
to
take
a
vacation
or
something
that
day,
which
would
then
in
turn
cause
us
to
you.
K
AB
W
AB
AA
C
AA
In
the
middle
of
the
night,
we'll
call
our
on-call
guy
and
they'll
come
into
town
and
take
care
of
it.
So,
and
that
does
happen
quite
often
more
one
of
my
guys
will
get
called
in
during
the
week
for
various
things
and
to
take
care
of
that,
and
you
know
if
they're
out
the
ways
it's
it's
gonna
take
some
time
to
respond
to
that.
So,
and
you
know
the
snow,
that's
probably
the
biggest
thing:
snow
and
ice.
Okay.
W
W
B
N
AD
AD
J
E
Of
the
things
I
understood
from
another
cemetery
experience
was
that
it
was
durability.
It
was
the
how
it
lasted.
If
somebody
looks
at
some
of
those
really
really
old
headstones
that
have
crumbled
and
kind
of
been
pin
pock
mark
over
time,
so
the
idea
was
to
go
with
the
kind
of
material
that
would
not
have
that
happen
to
that's
where
that
came
from
and
the.
R
AE
Think
for
Watertown
Monument
works
and
I've
been
there
since
1981,
and
the
issue
has
kind
of
come
to
the
forefront,
because
this
quartzite
material,
which
is
quarried
down
in
near
Sioux
Falls
and
is
used
in
a
lot
of
construction
projects,
is,
is
a
very
durable
product.
It's
much
more
durable
than
marble
or
limestone,
and
so,
as
bill
said,
it
gives
us
a
another
color
to
choose
from
and
it's
become
more
popular.
It's
it's
used
quite
widely
down
in
the
Sioux
Falls
area.
AE
O
AE
O
AE
J
Q
If
I
could
marry
I
think
it
would
John,
you
were
at
the
park
and
Rec
board
you
serve
on
there.
That
I
think
the
idea
was
to
allow
for
some
flexibility,
because
the
monument
works
folks
that
came
to
the
park,
a
red
board
said
20
years
ago.
This
wasn't
a
common
practice.
This
this
kind
of
stone
was
largely
unknown
or
certainly
wasn't
be
used
he
being
used
in
this
capacity.
Q
But
with
regard
to
my
cue
alderman
Danforth,
your
question,
the
language
of
the
current
ordinance
and-
and
this
obviously
can
be
changed-
that
all
monuments
to
be
erected
must
first
be
approved
as
to
size
text
to
be
included,
location
on
lot
foundations
and
kind
of
stone
to
be
used
by
the
board
or
the
director
of
Parks,
Recreation
forestry
or
their
designee.
So
there
currently
is
a
gatekeeper
in
the
code
that
isn't
being
proposed
to
be
changed.
Q
This
is
just
making
clear
that
there
is
that
flexibility,
because
currently
it
says
manu's
monuments
are
be
constructed
of
granite,
free
from
defects
or
variegation,
so
whatever
those
are
but
but
I
think
that
the
idea
in
talking
with
the
manya
works
people
at
the
Park
and
Rec
board
meeting
last
week
that
today
it's
this
kind
of
stone
20
years.
So
now,
maybe
something
different.
So
let's
have
that
flexibility
in
there.
Knowing
that
there's
a
gatekeeper
for
any
kind
of
stone,
that's
going
to
be
used.
G
G
AD
When
we
got
taken
over
by
Park
and
Rec,
we
sat
down
with
the
councilmembers
at
that
time
and
we
went
through
the
ordinances
and
the
lists
of
rules
and
at
that
time,
when
I
took
over
those
or
what
we
decided,
this
is
how
we're
gonna
run
the
cemetery.
That's
what
I've
been
going
by
for
12
years
is
what
we
decided
that
night.
When
the
council
come
out,
we
had
the
meeting
out
at
the
cemetery
was
walk
through.
We
talk
different
things.
This
is
what
we
come
up
with.
J
AE
B
And
I
think
when
they
mentioned
to
Tom
that
that
you
know
you
have
to
look
at
each
and
every
stone,
and
you
have
to
do
this
I
think
if
we
put
names
up
there,
we're
going
to
be
back
you're,
doing
the
same
thing
in
15
20
years
and
they're
gonna,
look
at
a
different
type
of
a
of
a
rock
of
some
type,
so
I
personally
think
that
that's
okay,
as
long
as
we
have
that
gatekeeper
coming
to
Tom
or
the
parking
right.
So,
okay,
let's
move
on.
Y
V
P
Okay,
this
is
kind
of
a
clean-up
item.
This
plat
is
to
finish
up
the
middle
school
project.
As
you
see
on
the
screen,
the
hatch
area
encompasses
the
current
middle
school
grounds.
It
includes
improvements
that
were
done
this
summer
on
11th
Street
northeast
the
roundabout
was
kind
of
included
as
a
portion
of
that
project,
and
also
18th
Street
was
extended
easterly
to
the
limits
of
the
property
line.
So
this
plat
covers
those
street
improvements
and
the
property
that
was
developed
for
the
middle
school.
P
B
B
W
B
P
Just
for
clarification,
I
did
hand
out
a
revised
development
agreement
to
all
the
council
members
for
the
review.
That
is
slightly
different
from
the
one
that
appeared
in
the
packets,
so
Eastwood
18th
on
my
screen.
It
doesn't
quite
fit
on
my
video
screen,
but
it
includes
improvements
on
12th
Avenue,
North,
27th,
Street,
East,
10th,
Avenue,
north
and
little
stub
pieces
of
26th
Street
South
East.
P
It's
approximately
30
lots
of
development,
a
proposal
for
improvement.
It
is
consistent,
consistent
with
our
early
annexation.
We
we
annex
this
property
here
in
recent
council
meetings.
It
also
meets
all
the
requirements
of
the
planning
and
our
process.
We're
at
the
point
where
the
Planning
Commission
has
reviewed.
This
has
recommended
approval
by
the
council.
Okay,.
P
A
very
small
portion
of
this
up
in
the
northeast
corner
and
on
the
very
southwest
corner
includes
water
that
would
not
flow
through
the
the
planned
out
lot.
A
water
quality
control
feature
and
we've
worked
with
the
developer
to
create
temporary,
very
small,
temporary
water
quality
facilities
until
such
time
that
the
next
phase
is
constructed
where
the
water
permanent
water
quality
feature
is
planned.
So
we
do
have
some
contingency
things
built
into
this.
It's
going
to
work
out
very
well.
O
O
P
O
P
O
J
O
P
L
P
There
is
no
part
of
the
preliminary
plan
for
this
project.
It
basically
ends
at
North
out
or
ninth
Avenue,
because
south
of
ninth
Avenue
is
a
different
property
owner.
So
this
development
is
going
to
continue
south
as
far
as
known,
ninth
Avenue
and
then
easterly
and
there's
three
more
phases
past
this
phase
that
is
planned
for
this
area.
So
right
now
it
will
take
this.
This
development
will
end
at
ninth
Avenue
and
then
it'll
take
participation
from
another
landowner
to
continue
that
development
to
the
south
and
east.
P
P
And-
and
you
know
in
some
parts
of
the
town,
these
lots
are
built
to
build
the
grocery
store,
or
you
know
other
you
know,
Hardee's
or
whatever
other
proper
uses
that
are
in
the
community.
So
this
is
just
a
tool
and
a
method
for
which
city
or
governments
can
orderly
bring
property
into
use
in
the
community.
P
K
M
B
Motion
carried
we're
gonna
go
on
to
just
this
last
part.
The
authorization
for
the
Merida
signed
a
development
agreement
with
Haagen
and
joy
Nelson.
Now
we've
had
numerous
discussions
on
this
development
agreement
and
I
just
want
to
know
everything
has
gone
extremely
smooth,
except
for
the
the
part.
That's
on
the
existing
development
agreement
and
Shane
did
make
a
new
copy
of
this
one.
B
We
had
conversations
about
park
dedications
there
was
a
curveball
thrown
to
the
developers
of
the
day
at
the
park
and
Rec
Department
I'm,
not
sure
if
they
understood
exactly
what
they're
doing
in
the
past.
The
city
has
always
taken
a
look
at
a
chunk
of
Agriculture
ground
and
they
have
ten
acres
of
land
and
they
pay
approximately
a
thousand
dollars
an
acre
to
be
put
into
the
park
fund.
What
happened
the
other
night
is
the
parking
wreck
took
a
look
at
that
and
said:
wait
a
minute.
B
B
Did
you
kill
me?
Okay,
I
thought
it
died.
It
took
the
dollars
from
about
a
ten
thousand
dollar
Park
dedication
fund
to
well
over
fifty
thousand
dollars,
and
what
that
does
is
it
puts
those
dollar
costs
on
each
and
every
individual
lot
that
they're
trying
to
sell.
As
you
guys
all
know,
water
tom
has
always
been
criticized
for
being
expensive
to
build.
B
That's
one
of
the
reasons
that
I
think
we
need
to
stop
and
we
need
to
have
something
that
goes
to
the
park
and
Rec
as
they
as
a
some
type
of
something
we
can
tell
them
to
do
that.
They
need
to
continue
to
use
the
existing
way
either
give
them
the
land
which
the
the
Nelson
Huggins
are
willing
to
do
for
park.
B
Dedications
they're
absolutely
willing
to
do
that
or
use
the
rules
that
have
been
used
for
years
now
within
the
city
and
that's
like
Scott
Walker
just
brought
one
in
it
caused
about
the
same
10
acres
cost
him
$10,000
the
church
just
brought
in
went
up
in
the
Northeast
up
there.
They
put
a
small
park,
dedication
that
they
had
to
have
for
their
lot
cost
him
about
five
hundred
bucks
in
it.
I
think
it
was
wrong.
B
G
I'm
gonna
agree
with
you
on
that
mayor
and
I'm
gonna
back
up
a
little
bit
two
years
back.
What
started
was
developments
were
getting
done
and
nobody
was
planning
much
for
the
park,
so
they
said
when
you
bring
in
development,
you're
gonna
designate
a
certain
area
of
land
to
be
used
as
the
park.
Well
then,
as
a
development
schemes,
we
don't
want
all
these
parks.
We'd
rather
have
money.
So
then
they
went
to
an
assessment
and
now
they're
stepping
up
which
I
didn't
realize
till
the
night.
Now
they're
stepping
up
the
game
this.
G
This
isn't
a
tax
assessment
that
I
think
should
just
be
willing
only
just
raised
you're
right.
This
is
one
of
the
things
that
has
bothered
developers
for
a
long
time,
all
these
loop
hoops
that
you
got
again
with
EPA
and
all
these
regulation
and
stormwater,
which
all
had
to
be
dealt
with
because
it
wasn't
done
once
before.
They've
all
come
forward,
but
now
this
is
just
basically.
This
is
a
tax
I,
don't
care
what
you
want
to
call.
This
is
a
tax
and
are
we
going
to
implement
and
raise
that
up
drastically?
W
Q
Correct-
and
that
was
part
of
the
conversation
where
no
the
language
of
the
other
code
says
that
the
the
person
requesting
annexation
or
master
planning
shall
dedicate
an
area
equal
to
five
percent
of
the
land,
an
extra
master
plan.
So
that's
the
alternative.
The
mayor
spoke
about
where
it
could
be
the
either
land
or
cash,
but
then
the
language
goes
on
to
say
and
I
think
I've
ripped
it
out
here,
because
I
do
have
a
proposed
suggestion.
R
Q
Q
I
think
maybe
was
you
alderman
Danforth,
but
the
City
Council
historically
has
ordinances
where
fees
were
set
by
ordinance
and
any
time
he
wanted
to
change
it.
You
had
to
come
and
amend
the
ordinance
as
opposed
to
having
a
fee
resolution
that
you
folks
are.
The
entire
council
said
bring
that
to
us
annually.
We
might
not
change
any
of
them,
but
at
least
do
it
by
resolution.
Q
So
it
gives
us
flexibility,
so
the
proposed
revision
would
be
and
and
I
remember,
I,
remember
asking
if
we
could
years
ago,
I
remember
asking
while
we're
doing
this
could
shouldn't.
We
include
this
Park
dedication
as
part
of
that
annual
fee
resolution.
I.
Remember
that
conversation
I
had
with
Roger
Adams
and
probably
some
other
folks
on
the
board.
But
the
way
the
language
currently
reads.
Q
What
I
would
suggest
is
the
council
consider
revising
it
to
say
the
board
not
means
the
park
and
Rec
Board
may
recommend
the
owner
donate
a
sum
in
cash
has
established
by
resolution
of
the
City
Council,
which
is
something
I
proposed
years
ago,
and
it
would
be
a
simple
change
and
that
way
to
the
mayor's
point
or
to
your
point:
it's
not
going
to
be
a
moving
target
every
year,
you're
going
to
get
a
chance
to
look
at
it.
Is
it
a
sum
based
on
the
on
the
total
land
area?
W
I,
don't
disagree
that
it
needs
to
be
changed.
It
probably
does
a
kind
of
caught
us
off
guard
at
the
park
and
Rec
meeting
that
this
came
before
us
less
than
a
week
before
it's
going
to
come
to
the
council
meeting
for
Park
dedication,
the
fee
structure
needs
to
be
changed
and
I'll
agree
with
that.
However,
usually,
what
takes
place
is
when
a
developer
on
this
has
a
piece
of
property
that
they
want
to
give
us.
W
It's
usually
some
undeveloped,
old
scrap
of
land
that
has
a
poor
slope
or
has
whatever
wrong
with
it
that
they
can't
develop
for
anything
else
and
that's
what
the
city
ends
up
with,
as
as
parkland
I
think.
This
process
probably
needs
to
take
place
way
earlier
in
the
process
when
they
come
up
to
City
Hall
and
they
want
to
plant
a
piece
of
property
that
that's
when
the
park
dedicated
or
the
park
area
needs
to
be
selected
and
I.
W
We
probably
even
need
to
go
back
farther
than
that
to
our
comprehensive,
comprehensive
land-use
plan
that
we
put
together
with
first
district.
We
need
to
select
areas
around
the
community
where
we
put
the
parks
rather
than
every
little
piece
of
property
we
bring
in.
We
think
we
need
a
piece
of
park
property,
so
we
got
to
probably
get
with
first
district
work
that
into
the
plan.
So
we
have
these
designated
areas
throughout
the
community
as
we
continue
to
grow,
and
then
we
won't
run
into
a
lot
of
these
issues
with
getting
scraps
or
what's
left.
W
B
Agree
with
that
John
and
I
would
agree
to
it
almost
entirely.
The
only
reason
that
I
think
a
lot
of
it
comes
back
to
us
is
unusable.
Land
for
them
is
because
we
expect
that
that's
going
to
be
some
type
of
a
retention
or
a
detention
fund,
and
and
that's
one
of
the
one
of
the
uses
that
we've
had
all
along
for
these
is
that's
where
the
water
goes,
so
we
can
hold
it
back,
so
it
doesn't
flood
the
neighbors,
so
I
really
I
really
agree.
B
Q
Sorry
I
think
maybe
what
you
do
is
the
mayor
when
he
sits
down
with
them
to
talk
about
their
scope
of
their
work
for
the
comprehensive
land
use
plan,
but
that
needs
to
be
part
of
it
that
first
district,
you
assist
the
city
and
adopting
that
the
comprehensive
land
use
plan.
We
want
you
to
always
make
certain
that
part
of
that
adoption
process
includes
a
description
of
where
and
in
other
other
kinds
of
development
occurs.
Q
You
first
district
comes
up
with
where
industrial
dirt
should
be,
where
commercial
and
residential
that's
part
of
the
comprehensive
Land
Use
Plan.
They
also
need
to
include
a
component
if
they're
not
at
a
whole
lot
more
detail
of.
Where
does
it
make
sense
to
have
parks,
so
developers
can
plan
accordingly.
J
This
was
was
so
that
we
would
assure
ourselves
when
people
did
develop,
that
there
was
usable
property
for
parks,
not
necessarily
that
we
needed
them
in
that
space.
Every
time
somebody
did
the
development,
but
I
agree
with
what
John
saying
I
think
that
should
be,
and
definitely
be
part
of
the
scope
of
work
for
now
and
I
think
they
just
finished
that
if
I'm
not
mistake,
I
saw
Pat,
sure
I
ever
walk
in
they.
L
J
G
No,
it
disagree,
though,
that
you
have
all
these
little
parcels
coming
in
as
parks.
Those
parcels
are
retention
which
are
required,
and
the
parks
aren't
accepting
that
as
part
of
the
five
percent
they're
they're
accepting
cash
and
Steady's,
they
don't
want
them
as
a
park.
So
I
think
you're
mixing
things
up
here.
They're,
not
those
retention
ponds
aren't
getting
counted
as
for
their
park.
Donation
they've
got
that
that
they
have
to
give
up,
which
is
part
of
it.
G
Now
they
have
to
give
up
either
a
parcel
or
give
up
the
cash
and
now
you're
taking
in
a
race
to
catch.
Some
I
understand
the
concept
of
okay.
Instead
of
you
having
a
park,
you
don't
this
isn't
big
enough
if
everybody
puts
a
piece
into
it
realistically,
what
could
happen
is
the
next
developer
comes
along
as
a
small
parcel,
and
this
is
where
the
best
part
for
a
park
is.
G
Rights
we
do
yeah,
instead
of
and
because
they're
gonna
look
at
and
try
to
get
the
best
buck
out
of
the
space
that
they
got.
And
if
the
city
thinks
that
that's
a
better
place
for
a
park,
then
we
should
have.
We
should
call
up
for
it,
we're
taxing
them
and
taking
the
money
for
that
in
the
first
place.
Okay,.
E
B
So
I
think
I
think
what's
in
front
of
the
council
on
this
on
this
particular
development
agreement.
Is
we
need
to
really
amend
our
motion?
I,
don't
have
have
I
got
a
motion
on
the
floor.
No
I
would
like
the
motion
to
read
approval
but
change
the
park.
Dedication
to
the
notwithstanding
the
provisions
of
1401
2-0
of
the
revised
ordinance
of
the
city
of
Watertown,
the
City
Council,
will
determine
now
and
in
what
manner
the
developer
will
be
made
to
satisfy
the
park.
Dedication
requirement
what
I
am
am
proposing
to
you?
B
W
O
I
B
Do
you
think
you
should
take
the
dollar,
so
we
can
get
this
project
moving
along?
They
have
I,
tell
you
what
they
started
this
project
in
February
of
this
year
and
and
it
has
gone
just
every
step
that
they've
taken
they've,
had
a
door
closed
on
them,
and-
and
this
is
the
17th
edition
of
the
same
thing
and
they've
done
each
and
every
one
identical
and
they've
they've
they've
done
it
the
way
that
they
should
have
done,
there's
been
nothing
cut
back
on
it.
B
I
think
you
guys
need
to
agree
to
take
the
$10,000
and
put
that
into
the
park
fund,
and
we
really
should
take
these
dollars.
I
agree.
John
put
them
in
a
fund
that
can
be
can
be
used
to
buy
a
larger
piece
of
ground
for
apart,
but
I
really
think
that
you
need
to
approve
this
agreement
tonight
by
taking
the
cash
and
let
these
folks
get
moving
on,
so
you
can
get
their
roads
starting
to
cut
them
in
this
next
week.
X
G
W
There's
already
a
park
there,
so
we
determined
that
having
one
that
close,
and
so
that's
why
we
decided
to
be
better
to
take
the
cache
so
that
we
could
either
purchase
land
put
it
in
a
fund
put
a
park
where
it's
desirable,
rather
than
just
take
what
they
were
giving
us,
because
the
property
that
was
given
us
has
a
pretty
extreme
slope
to
it.
So
it
wasn't
really
a
developable
area
for
Lots,
so
we
determined
the
taken.
The
cash
would
be
the
better
way
out.
J
X
K
B
And
see
how
we
can
help
these
if
I
may
I
I
will
I
will
speak
to
that
right
now.
What
we've
done,
Shane
and
I've
had
numerous
discussions
on
how
this
actually
came
across,
and
it's
happening
to
a
number
of
developments.
What
the
city
has
done.
As
as
an
engineering
side,
we
actually
took
the
conceptual
plan
made
the
engineer's
draw
it
up
to
almost
a
Phase
three
on
the
conceptual
plan,
so
we
knew
exactly
where
the
water
flows
they've,
put
countless
hours
of
engineering
into
it
and
to
that.
K
B
Up
against
the
same
hurdles
with
more
resolutions
and
more
worries
that
then
has
to
go
through
another
level
of
advertising
and
taking
to
the
Planning
Commission.
So
what
we're
proposing
is
that,
instead
of
having
the
resolution
when
they
come
to
the
planning
mission,
which
is
going
to
be
held
now
twice
a
month
which
will
help
speed
the
process
they
are
then
put
as
a
table,
we
will
table
that
item
so
that
they
can
address
it
again
on
the
next
meeting
without
going
through
the
entire
process
of
advertising
and
doing
that
I.
B
Think
it's
much
simpler,
Shane
I
I
appreciate
the
work
that
you've
done
on
that
you
know.
You'll
go
much
much
smoother
and
it'll
work
substantially
better
than
what
we're
doing
right
now,
because
I
think
what
we
have
to
realize.
You
know
we're
up
here
at
City.
Hall
time
seems
to
slip
by
us
and
we
don't.
We
don't
understand
that
time
element,
but
when
you've
only
got
three
or
four
months
of
time
to
to
build
roads
and
to
put
that
infrastructure
in
you
can't
be
messing
around
every
time.
You
know
coming
up
and
having
to
advertise.
B
Wait
two
weeks
get
on
the
agenda
that
next
month
and
then
something's
wrong,
or
you
miss
that
the
exact
time
timeframe
to
get
on
the
agenda
it
just
turns
into
weeks
and
weeks
and
months
and
months,
so
we're
addressing
it.
Bruce
and
I
think
it's
coming
full
circle
and
it's
going
to
be
much
better
for
the
developers.
We've
had
that
conversation
with
them,
they're
thrilled
with
the
ideas
that
Shane
has
brought
forward
for
us.
So
I'm
pretty
excited
about
that
any
other
questions.
Hopefully
I
answered
it
for
you
Bruce,
but
I.
P
I
want
to
just
make
one
comment,
because
I
do
want
the
council
to
know
that
as
engineering
or
as
the
City
Engineer
and
representing
my
staff
and
being
the
planning
official
I,
do
embrace
this
clarity,
especially
on
this
Park
dedication
issue,
because
if
it
goes,
though,
the
way
that
discussion
is
happening,
it
really
simplifies
how
we
approach
these
development
agreements.
It's
going
to
be
a
really
cut
and
dried
calculation.
P
You
know
it
will
set
set
that
at
a
very
simple
process
for
us,
we
won't
have
to
go
to
the
park
board
every
time
we
have
a
development,
come
forward,
I
think
and
then
also
it's
very,
very
important
that
we
plan
the
use
of
our
property
or
the
areas
around
the
city
that
are
going
to
get
NX
in
planning
your
parks.
Accordingly,
I.
B
Would
agree
because
you're
looking
north
of
18th,
that
when
it
was
I,
truly
feel
above
the
the
new
school
and
the
community
center
you're
gonna
see
development
up
there,
you're
gonna
see
that
brought
into
the
city.
You're
gonna
see
east
of
15th
Street
the
same
thing.
It's
just
going
to
happen
and
I
think
the
park
and
Rec
really
wants
this
clarity.
Also,
you
know
the
questions.
I
do
have
a
motion,
a
second
on
the
floor.
This
time,
I'll,
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye,.
V
AB
Good
evening,
mayor
and
council
and
Scott
McMahon
captain
support
services
with
the
Watertown
Police
Department
tonight,
we're
coming
before
you
to
ask
for
permission
to
enter
into
a
contractual
agreement
with
Zurcher
Technologies
out
of
Sioux
Falls
South
Dakota
circular
technologies
is
a
public
safety
software
company
that
provides
us
the
software
to
basically
conduct
day-to-day
business,
that
the
Watertown
Police
Department
include
9-1-1
mobo
out
in
the
vehicles,
records
management,
evidence
and
so
forth.
When.
L
AB
Y
K
L
AB
AB
The
last
three
years
has
gone
very
well
with
Zurcher
Technologies,
and
we
don't
foresee
that
there
would
be
any
future
problems.
The
company
is
a
growing
company
and
just
merged
with
another
software
company
called
tri
tech,
which
is
a
rather
large
company,
and
we
feel
that
circuit
technology
has
been
there
for
us
during
our
business
needs,
and
we
don't
anticipate
any
problem
with
that.
We
also
know
that
it's
very
labor
intensive
to
switch
from
one
software
company
to
another.
It's
not
something
that
would
happen
in
30
days,
I,
guess
for
that
fact.
L
D
N
L
O
AB
That
it's
beneficial
to
do
a
five-year
contract
versus
a
three-year
just
because
of
the
the
price
that's
being
offered,
which
is
about
a
five
percent
increase
year
after
year,
michael
Zurcher,
the
CEO
of
observer
technology,
told
us
back
in
2012
that
we
could
always
anticipate
a
about
a
5%
a
year
increase
in
price
and
he's
held
true
to
that
figure.
Where
some
of
the
other
software
companies,
you
don't
know
if
it's
5%,
20%
30%.
N
L
Just
do
two
more
quick
ones,
just
a
couple
more
contractual
things.
You
know:
we've
had
rat
holes,
rabbit
holes,
I,
guess
I'm
going.
My
vermin
of
choice
is
a
badger
hole
to
others,
quick
items-
and
this
is
maybe
late
in
the
game.
If
you
guys
have
been
negotiated
that
contract,
but
the
notice
section
does
require
written
notice
that
you
might
want
to
consider
an
electronic
version
of
notice
and,
lastly,
I
didn't
sing
about
a
vago
bankrupt.
What
happens?
Do
we
get
the
source
code?
L
AB
We
did
have
that
in
in
today's
contract
that
was
in
there.
I
gotta
actually
look
through
this
down
to
find
the
points
that
you're
that
you're,
referring
to,
but
I
wanted
to
say
that
there
was
something
in
here.
We
gave
related
to
financial
situations,
whether
that
would
be
with
the
city
of
Watertown
not
being
able
to
afford
those
annual
payments
or
Zurcher
technology,
or
some
other
company
affiliated
with
it
filing
bankruptcy
or
some.
You.
AC
N
AB
Years
ago
we
were
faced
with
prices
that
we're
more
expensive
at
the
time
than
what
circuit
technology
was,
and
we
were
also
having
some
some
problems
with
the
software's
meeting
our
needs,
so
that
caused
us
to
search
for
other
software
companies
and
do
some
research
but,
like
I,
said
it's
changing.
Software
is
a
major
task
to
do
that
because
of
all
the
infirm.
That's
in
there
we'd
have
to
go
through
a
data
conversion
which
would
be
rather
expensive
and,
and
it
would
be
very
undercover.
N
So
I'm
coming
in
knew
this.
It
sound
like
this.
This
group
is
us
due
diligence
in
the
past,
like
your
police,
the
service,
I,
guess
our
firm
has
bid
out
a
lot
of
governmental
and
nonprofit
work
over
the
years
and
I
guess
that
5%
every
year,
a
flat
fee
increase
a
little
bit
disappointing
as
far
as
I'm
concerned,
it.
J
Would
be
nice
to
see
some
sort
of
justification
for
those
price
increases
if
we
could
do
that,
but
I
I
will
tell
you
going
just
for
your
benefit.
We
did.
We
interviewed
the
folks
that
represented
the
different
organizations
that
were
that
applied
to
do
this
for
us
and
and
supply
the
software,
and
it
was
a
lengthy
process.
There
were
a
lot
of
questions
asked
and-
and
it
was
unanimous
that
we
agreed
to.
G
Do
we
were
looking
at
conserving
less
thought,
but
you
know
with
the
software
or
it
isn't
like
somebody
else
can
support
it.
Part
of
the
support
fees,
I
assume
include,
you
know,
upgrades
to
to
software
and
other
things
that
get
integrated
that
just
become
part
of
the.
It
isn't
just
that
they're
sitting
there.
If
you
got
a
call
and
something
wrong
with
data
there
they're
also
doing
upgrades
and
they
they
are,
but
I
don't
do
backup.
G
AB
You
said
councilman
burger,
it's
it's
not
a
product
that
sits
Dale,
you
buy
it
today
and
it
sits
there
for
three
years.
It's
the
same
product.
It's
an
ongoing
revision,
sometimes
month
after
month
that
there's
there's
new
revisions
that
are
putting
out
that
they
are
putting
out
to
the
agencies
that
are
using
their
software.
So
you
know:
there's
there's
continuous
growth
in
their
in
their
product
and
I
would
imagine
that
they
have
to
recover
some
of
that
growth
through
you
know,
maintenance
and
and
increases
in
maintenance.
AB
Versus
I
have
not
been
in
conversations
with
sheriff
Wishard
on
it,
but
I
would
assume
that
he
would
again
just
because
of
the
the
amount
of
labor
that
goes
into
switching
from
one
software
company
to
another
for
exam
with
the
sheriff
he
has
jail,
and
he
has
a
civil
packages
that
he
uses
through
Zurcher.
If
he
were
to
change
companies
all
that
photos
of
the
booking
photos,
all
the
information
related
to
charges,
all
that
would
have
to
be
go
through
a
data
conversion
process
to
a
new
company
and
I
mean,
like
I,
said
it.
O
On
the
previous
contract,
but
it
seems
really
odd
for
from
my
perspective,
I'm
with
Lana,
it
seems
really
odd
that
we
can
look
out
five
years
and
say
they're,
just
gonna
have
a
price
increase
of
5%
every
year.
I
understand
we
talked
about
their
support
that
they
do
and
the
updates
we
get.
That's
all.
O
B
O
B
I
want
to
stress
that
those
of
you
that
were
on
the
council
and
I
think
Mike.
You
were
on
there
that
we
were
very
well
aware
that
it
was
going
to
be
a
5%
increase
every
year,
because
one
of
the
things
that
Scott
is
mentioning,
we
were
getting
increases
of
20%
and
30%,
and
they
were
a
not
out
of
line
for
that
software.
That's
one
of
the
reasons
why
I
went
was
er
cuz
we
could.
We
could
actually
budget
that
we
knew
what
our
costs
were
going
to
be
for
the
software.
B
G
B
G
One
of
the
things,
as
maybe
miss
there
Mike
in
the
concept
of
that.
It's
not
like
it's
just
a
fixed
I've,
got
this
one
thing
and
it's
static
and
it's
a
5%
rates
on
that
this
product
because
of
the
constant
development
and
it's
growing,
so
that's
expanding.
So
as
a
larger
expansion
and
the
cost
of
supporting
that.
G
What,
as
this
thing
grows
into
a
bigger
because
integrate
one
of
the
problems
you
had
with
the
original
ones,
you
had
all
these
different
parts
and
pieces
that
didn't
integrate
worth
the
hoot
and
he
fought
with
that
and
you
couldn't
get
data
to
transfer
back
and
forth.
Well,
as
they
see
these
issues
other
places
they
have
to
you.
G
AB
True
bill,
you
know
Public
Safety
software
is
it's
designed
in
such
matter,
in
my
belief
anyway,
that
they
they
break
their
product
up
into
components.
If
you
want,
you
know
a
CAD
or
if
you
want
mobile
or
if
you
want
records,
or
you
want
evidence,
you
can
buy
software
in
those
different
components
for
an
agency
our
size.
We
we
need
all
those
components
to
to
conduct
business.
AB
AB
Well,
we
own
use
the
software
so
from
this
point
forward,
we're
not
having
to
make
that
initial
purchase
again
we're
just
having
to
continue
to
pay
maintenance,
which
is
far
cheaper
than
if
we
were
to
look
at
a
new
company
and
and
have
to
pay
that
upfront
cost
of
switching
everything
over
and
buying
new
software.
Ok,.
B
K
B
Bowl
I
motion
carried
I
think
at
this
time.
You
know
these
guys
have
done
an
outstanding
job
for
us.
These
Scouts
I
know
they
got
school
in
the
morning.
We
don't
want
to
hold
you
up
and
it
is
8:30
I
think
at
this
time.
If,
if
you
guys
want
to
be
excused
you're
sure
Ken,
we've
got
some
other
things
going
on
and
I
absolutely
appreciate.
Everything
you've
done
and
citizens
day
is,
is
wonderful
one
of
these
days.
B
K
K
K
B
AB
G
AB
G
AB
Much
we
did
get
a
bid
for
the
police
utility
vehicle.
The
k-9
officers
specifically
wanted
an
SUV
type
vehicle
and
we
did
get
one
bit
from
Watertown
Ford
for
a
police
Explorer
vehicle
that
came
in
at
28,000
790.
There
were
some
options
that
we
needed
to
have
with
this
because
of
the
fact
that
it
is
a
k9
vehicle.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
it
had
air
conditioning
to
the
rear
where
the
k-9
will
be
during
the
daytime
hours.
AB
So
that
was
an
addition
and
then
also
remote,
start
and
remote
locks
so
that
if
the
car
needed
to
be
hooked
to
like
the
temperature
sensor
in
the
vehicle,
so
that
it
would
start
the
car
and
run
the
air
conditioner,
so
there's
no
chances
of
having
you
know
a
problem
that
would
cause
the
dog
to
suffer.
You
know
heat
extreme
or
something
like
that
extreme
heat,
but
sometimes
you
see
those
types
of
articles
in
the
paper
and
we
needed
these
extra
options
to
avoid
having
that
happen
here,.
AE
AB
O
AB
No
I
think
you
know
there
certainly
could
have
been
room
for
other
types
of
vehicles.
You
know
I
think
the
the
bed
specs
that
we
put
together
we're
you
know
very
near
to
what
the
state
specs
are.
So
you
know
I
suppose
that
somebody
could
have
been
a
Dodge
Durango
or
some
type
of
a
Chevy
vehicle.
We
did,
you
know,
request
an
all-wheel
drive
and
and
the
engine
size
and
so
forth.
I
think
there's
other
models
that
could
have
fit.
That
I,
don't
think
it's
specific
to
a
Ford
Explorer
any.
B
Other
questions,
hearing
none
I'll,
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
opposed
motion
carries
thank
Scott.
Thank
you.
Number
16
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
professional
service
agreement
with
HR
green
for
the
wastewater
ultraviolet
disinfection
improvements
project
in
the
amount
of
forty
eight
thousand
dollars
Shane.
If
you
want
to
help
us
out
yeah.
P
P
And
awarded
you
via
equipment
in
the
amount
of
three
hundred
and
thirty
four
thousand.
We
also
have
had
a
letting
and
award
of
the
demo
and
installation
of
that
equipment
in
the
amount
of
two
hundred
and
thirty
six
thousand
180.
So
what's
before,
you
now
is
to
extend
the
contract
with
the
consulting
engineer
beyond
those
services
into
the
construction
phase.
P
Those
would
include
project
management,
shop,
drawing
review,
interpreting
the
specs
and
doing
some
on-site
inspections
all
the
way
through
final
completion
and
punch
list,
and
they
would
provide
engineering
record
drawing
so
the
schedule
fees
is
not
to
exceed
forty
eight
thousand
for
those
services.
Okay,.
B
Z
P
There
seh
was
our
consulting
engineer
working
on
that
project
for
us
to
review
and
enhance
or
revise
the
flood
plain
Maps
for
the
Robie
Creek
project.
We
are
at
task
7,
which
is
the
Lamar
closeout
services
phase.
Basically,
this
is
going
to
allow
them
to
assist
us
with
our
public
meetings
that
we
need
to
have
in
the
near
future
to
present
that
information
to
the
public
and
complete
that
process,
so
that
everybody
knows-
and
we
want
to
certainly
lean
on
their
knowledge
and
expertise
through
that
public
hearing
process.
K
B
By
Randy
any
questions
for
Shane
on
those
okay
or
not
I'll,
look
for
council
action.
All
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
number
18
consideration;
a
joint
funding
agreement
with
the
United
States
Geological
Survey
USGS
for
operation
and
maintenance
of
the
Upper
Big
Sioux
River
flood
forecasting
system
for
2016,
again
Shane
yeah.
P
This
is
an
annual
agreement
that
comes
before
the
council
each
year
about
this
time.
I
would
assume
the
city
share
of
the
maintenance
agreement
for
the
flood.
Gauging
stations
is
twenty,
one
thousand
nine
hundred
and
five
dollars
is
within
our
budgeted
amount
that
we
had
had
for
this
coming
2016
budget
year.
So
with
that
I
guess
I
would
entertain
any
questions
or
recommend.
Okay.
B
G
B
Yeah
I,
don't
think
there'll
be
any
question
that
they
won't
be
on
board.
Okay,
I'll,
look
for
counsel
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
number
19
consideration;
a
change
order,
number
three
to
the
contract
with
a
great
construction
for
the
wastewater
alkalinity
feed
addition
project,
increasing
the
contract
amount,
4200,
$43,
Shane,
okay,.
P
This
project
you've
seen
this
is
the
third
time
you've
seen
a
change
order
regarding
the
same
area
of
the
project.
This
is
the
portion
of
the
project
where
they
had
to
move
some
sludge
lines
to
do
these
improve
alkalinity
improvements
in
doing
while
they
were
doing
that,
they
found
out
that
they
had
some
conflicts,
they
rerouted
those
pipes.
Then
they
found
some
debris
that
was
within
the
excavation
area.
This
final
change
order
then
pays
for
the
material
that
it
took
to
replace
the
debris
that
was
excavated
and
removed
from
the
project.
P
B
X
Z
Is
that
emotion
and
as
the
mayor
said,
we
did
get
the
renewals
for
2016
from
Wellmark
high,
as
you
can
see
on
the
information
provided
to
you,
the
overall
two
point:
nine
two
percent
increase
in
the
premiums
is
well
below
the
national
average.
It
is
well
within
the
2016
budget.
What
I
am
asking
for
is
a
motion
to
renew
the
2016
health
insurance
benefits
with
Wellmark
with
the
renewal
rates,
as
shown
above.
M
Z
M
Z
We
don't
know
how
much
excess,
that's
something
that
we're
negotiating
at
this
time
and
we
have
not
come
up
with
an
agreement
with
all
three
of
the
unions
on
the
employee
employer
portion,
hopefully
within
the
next
week
before
open
enrollment
starts
we'll
have
that
and
then
I
can
give
you
a
better
understanding
of
how
much
that'll
be
right.
Now
we
have
about
a
hundred
and
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
there
through
the
third
quarter
of
2015.
We
have
one
quarter
left
of
2015
and
we're
anticipating
about
ten
thousand
dollars.
B
K
B
G
B
K
B
N
Got
one
comment
to
make
mayor
last:
Tuesday
night
severals,
four
at
the
public
safety
gathering
at
the
Elks
I
forget
exactly
what
it's
called
I
just
want
to
thank
and
recognize.
Margaret
Snyder
was
named
me
from
the
was
named
the
employee
or
the
volunteer
of
the
year
for
her
work
to
the
police
departments,
I'd
like
to
recognize
Margaret
and.
B
She
also
makes
fantastic,
cookies
and
and
I
I
got
on
her
mailing
list
through
County
Cutler,
so
when
she
takes
them
over
the
police
station
I'll
get
that
note
and
I'll
send
it
to
you
guys.
I
would
like
to
recognize.
Spencer
tonight
did
I
say
that
pretty
close
all
right
well,
Spencer
is,
is
our
new
department
department
head
with
the
IT
department
and
he
comes
from
the
the
gosh,
the
computer
field,
down
here,
just
south
of
town
making
for
a
connecting
point?
Thank
you.
It's
getting
late!
So
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
yourself.
B
AG
Was
a
Cub
Scout
no
I'm
originally
born
in
Omaha,
but
grew
up
in
Lake
Preston
and
moved
up
here
about
eight
years
ago
and
started
working
at
connecting
point.
You
know
around
five
and
a
half
years
ago
and
I
guess
there's
not
much
else
to
say:
I've
got
been
working
myself
up,
you
know
with
the
technical
stuff
for
quite
a
while
and.
AG
X
G
B
Tell
you
I
had
get
an
apartment,
go
on,
I
had
to
stop
the
library,
because
Mike
asked
for
you
to
come
over
there
he
said
he's
got
a
room
for
a
mid
name
and
that
kid
has
nope
nope,
not
gonna,
be
going
there.
So
welcome
aboard
Spencer.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
and
I.
Wish
you
many
many
years
of
good
luck
here
at
the
city,
Thank.
AG
L
W
B
B
Know
it's
going
extremely
well:
they've
got
the
the
sidewalls
up
on
the
the
short
walls
are
going
up.
They
have
the
the
taller
walls
that
are
over
by
the
pool
are
going
in
extremely
strong.
They
will
actually
once
they
get
this
thing
in
closed
and
the
weather
as
it
has
held
up
really
nice
for
them.
They'll
start
digging
the
pool,
probably
in
March
April,
so
they
can
start
working
on
that
everything
is
really
unscheduled.
It's
just
amazing!
B
Anything
else
I
did
get.
Some
pictures
of
the
softball
diamond
I
was
planning,
giving
him
terrain
and
put
up
there,
but
Troy
Van
Deusen,
with
from
the
police
department,
has
a
drone.
He
took
some
pictures
of
it
for
me
and
then
also
Hansen,
Greg
Hansen
has
a
drone.
He
went
up
there
and
took
some
pictures
for
me.
So
I
got
all
kinds
up
all
kinds
of
pictures
and
videos
that'll
be
coming
and
I'll,
probably
post
those
on
our
website.
You
can
take
a
look
at
the
videos
up
there.
J
B
I
will
tell
you
that,
on
the
news
on
the
airport,
we're
expecting
very
good
things.
That
timeframe
will
be
stopped
here
shortly.
We
should
know
there's
at
least
three
to
four
airlines
that
are
looking
at
Watertown
and
we've
been
in
a
great
conversation
with
them
anywhere
from
little
rocket
ships
that
go
for
hundred
and
some
miles
an
hour
to
50
seat
aircraft
that
are
in
that
three
hundred
and
eighty
miles
an
hour
and
they're,
both
pretty
cool
Louie's.
