A
B
D
D
Ok
well
going
on.
We
had
a
another
great
year
with
the
spring
litter
blitz
and
it
was
late
April
early
May.
We
had
to
extend
it
for
about
four
or
five
days
with
a
rainy
spell
in
there,
but
about
40
groups
and
businesses
participated
this
year
and
several
groups
took
two
or
two
or
more
zones
because
they
thought
maybe
hey.
This
is
fun
and
that
the
first
one
wasn't
so
bad
that
so
they
signed
up
for
another
one,
and
some
individuals
worked
in
two
or
more
different
groups
and
look.
D
We
always
asked
for
some
feedback
online,
and
this
year
total
number
of
workers
was
550.
Total
hours
spent
picking
up
litter,
almost
a
thousand
hours.
That's
a
lot
of
time,
and
now
this
is
only
from
the
people
who
reported
there
are
some
that
did
not
get
their
feedback
in.
So
these
numbers
are
low,
that
this
is
what
is
been
reported
and
then
the
200
bags
of
trash
and
45
bags
of
recycling,
and
if
you
are
into
the
numbers
and
into
kind
of
a
trend
here,
this
has
been
going
on
since
2013.
D
So
if
you
see
those
numbers,
all
the
workers
that
have
been
spending
time
with
this
from
2013
to
2016
about
2200
people
have
volunteered
about
4,100
hours.
We
want
to
thank
our
partners
in
this.
The
sanitation
department
for
collecting
the
trash
bags
and
the
recycling
bags,
the
street
department
for
having
the
litter,
drop-off
location
out
right
in
front
of
the
letter
or
the
street
department
and
the
police
are
keeping
us
safe
and
the
mayor's
office
Thank
You
Shelly
for
keeping
our
website
going
and
finding
any
little
glitches
and
fixing
those.
C
We
just
like
to
acknowledge
the
people
that,
were
they
headed
up
the
groups,
the
40
groups
that
went
out
in
all
various
areas
in
Watertown,
so
you
can
just
look
through
the
names
and
I'm
sure
everyone
will
know
somebody
on
this
list
or
some
of
the
people
that
would
have
been
on
some
of
these.
The
banks
participated,
the
schools
participated
businesses.
C
Of
the
pictures
of
the
groups
that
were
out
for
the
day,
some
of
them
hammed
it
up
a
little
bit
and
liked
to
show
us
what
they
were
rooting
for
Lake
area
tech,
particularly
in
that
last
bottom,
one,
the
kids
at
school.
It's
really
good
we're
teaching
them
how
to
are
the
teachers
are
teaching
them
how
to
recycle
in
their
classroom.
So
this
will
be
an
ongoing
thing
for
them
for
the
rest
of
their
lives.
C
D
C
D
C
C
D
Vivian
and
Gary
Westgard
worked
in
both
teams,
my
husband,
you
know
you
got
to
recruit
your
spouse
right,
so
Bob's
working
on
our
group
and
then
he
was
also
a
member
of
the
Watertown
h2o
xx
trail
committee
and
the
Watertown
bike
club.
They
joined
forces
and
usually
take
the
Jackson
Park
area
and
around
the
bike
trails.
D
Okay,
just
to
keep
an
eye
out
for
recycling
opportunities.
This
summer
we
are
continuing
what
we've
been
doing
at
Cooke,
complex,
the
stadium
foundation,
fields
and
all
those
places
where
public
is
gathering
Anza
Soccer
Complex.
There
should
be
recycle
and
trash
bins
located
side
by
side,
and
this
is
this
shows
all
the
recyclables
that
we're
collecting
and
they're
lined
up
ready
for
pickup
at
the
zoo.
D
We
have
the
recycling
and
trash
stations
that
we
got
in
place
last
summer,
so
on
the
left
there
that
there's
six
of
those
different
stations
placed
throughout
the
zoo
and
now
on
the
lower
right.
Those
stations
are
in
the
park
and
you
can
watch
first
on
the
fourth
of
July
parade.
We
have
a
little
fun
too.
Don't
let
those
white
legs
blind
you
that
that's
the
begin
the
front
there,
spouses
of
committee
members-
please
don't
remember
that
picture
and
we
got
into
the
act
with
our
message
to
reduce
reuse
and
recycle.
D
So
we'll
wrap
this
up
here
and
I
know
you
got
a
full
night
tonight.
So
just
a
reminder
that
littering
is
against
the
law
and
I.
Don't
know
how
many
fines
have
been
handed
out,
but
it's
up
to
$170
fine
and
we
can
all
do
our
part
to
keep
Watertown
Beautiful
keep
whenever
you
go
for
a
walk,
bring
your
bag
pick
up
the
stuff
that
you
find.
D
D
And
we
have
the
spreadsheet:
that's
that
is
all
the
different
zones.
So
this
is
show
us
how
we've
been
keeping
track
of
everything.
What
was
the
number
of
Karla
okay
zone
number
33
right?
There
was
17th
Street
highway,
212
to
14,000
new
south
and
gee.
It's
a
committee,
member
barb,
Brinkman,
Barbara
and
Friends.
D
D
B
G
G
Downtown
I
think
you
can
probably
even
feel
the
excitement
in
the
room
tonight
we
had
nearly
a
hundred
folks
that
participated
in
some
are
all
of
the
Charette
last
November
and
I
dare
to
say
if
we
were
to
hold
it
this
week
or
last
week
or
next
week,
we
probably
would
have
even
a
lot
more
than
that.
You
as
individuals
have
probably
been
downtown
in
the
last
month
or
two
and
can
tell
that
we
have
released
started,
hitting
a
place
where
maybe
we're
at
sort
of
a
critical
point.
There's
a
lot
of
excitement.
G
There
are
a
lot
of
folks
coming
downtown
to
socialize,
to
patronize
and
even
to
live
that
previously
were
strangers
to
the
area.
So
there's
just
a
tremendous
amount
of
excitement
and
the
opportunity
to
develop
our
downtown
is
right
in
front
of
us,
and
it's
really.
It
really
is
a
it's
something
that
I
think
is
my
hope
of.
Welcome
relief.
G
I
know
you
folks
have
to
deal
with
lots
of
issues
that
are
kind
of
waiting
and
and
have
winners
and
losers,
and
this
is
kind
of
a
win-win
situation
where
it's
just
there's
no
place
to
go,
but
up
and
there's
a
lot
of
positive
energy
and
folks
willing
to
work
together
on
it.
I
say
it's
right
in
front
of
us,
because
this
is
an
opportunity
to
enhance
the
quality
of
quality
of
life
in
Watertown
and
I.
G
Know
that
that's
an
issue
that
this
council
and
prior
councils
and
mayor's
have
devoted
themselves
to
in
a
very
wise
way,
recognizing
that
quality
of
life
is
a
huge
issue
now
in
people
determining
where
they
want
to
live
and
what
they're
willing
to
invest
where
businesses
will
locate
where,
where
folks
want
to
work
and
the
opportunity
to
commit
ourselves
wholeheartedly
to
a
public
and
private
partnership,
so
that
we
can
maximize
the
vitality
of
downtown
Watertown
and
the
vitality
of
our
entire
community
is
right
in
front
of
us.
It's
really
part
of
a
nationwide
movement.
G
If,
if
your
work
or
your
vacation
plans,
take
you
to
other
cities
in
the
United
States,
you've
probably
noticed
that
downtown's
have
become
the
key
in
most
places.
The
key
to
gathering
places
folks
are
restoring
their
there
going
back
really
to
their
roots
and
the
pedestrian
walkways.
The
cultural
centers,
the
arts,
entertainment
and
food
and
beverage
is
always
that
the
locale
is
is
really
the
magnet
downtown,
but
we
have
a
real
special
opportunity
in
water
tone.
G
We
all
know
that
were
that
we're
a
small
town,
but
we
still
have
a
very
special
opportunity
and
I
say
that,
for
several
reasons,
one
is
because
we
have
a
large
number
of
historical
buildings
that
have
already
that
have
been
preserved.
We've
lost
some
gems,
but
we
still
have
a
lot
of
wonderful
historical
buildings
that
make
the
downtown
historically
an
architectural
interesting.
Second,
we
have
a
relatively
low
level
of
vacancy
and
I
think
I
thought
case.
G
Alburgh,
come
in
I
know
that
she's
not
alone
in
this,
but
we
have
some
folks
who,
god
bless
them,
have
sort
of
kept
the
lights
on
and
in
the
years
when
other
cities
downtown's
have
gotten
in
far
greater
disrepair,
far
more
dilapidated
in
the
buildings
and
far
more
isolated
in
terms
of
population.
There
have
been
some
real,
faithful
people
that
have
kept
have
kept
the
light
on
in
downtown,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons.
I
think
that
we
have
a
better
opportunity
than
folks
who
are
trying
to
climb
out
of
very
deep
holes.
G
And
finally,
we
have
already
had
some
people
and
some
key
projects
that
have
kind
of
lit
the
fire
there,
whether
it
is
pure
beneficent
motives
or
just
plain
crazy.
I
won't
comment
on
all,
but
you
know
that
there
have
been
some
key
folks
who
have
already
really
taken
the
initiative
and
and
lit
the
spark.
So
the
opportunities
here
in
Watertown
is
in
a
great
place
to
seize
it
and
I.
Think
seizing
the
opportunity
means
that
this
will
be
the
next
and
possibly
the
single
greatest
quality
of
life
enhancement
that
Watertown
can
do.
G
I
went
for
a
ride
when
the
weather
finally
warmed
up
this
weekend.
I
went
for
a
ride
and
if
you
get
on
your
bicycle
or
you
just
choose
to
go
out
walking
and
you
you
know,
you
go
out
around
the
bike
trail
and
you
there's
just
no
way
you
can
miss
the
sense
of
quality
that
that
that
offers
to
the
experience
of
people
who
are
living
or
visiting
here
and
my
route,
because
I
was
needed
to
catch
up.
Mine
exercise
took
me
up
north
and
I
went
past
the
rec
center
and
thought
wow.
G
Isn't
that
a
great
enhancement
to
our
community-
and
this
is
the
sort
of
thing
that
that
will
build
on
that?
We
don't
need
to
be
talking
about.
You
know,
spending
24
million
dollars
to
enhance
downtown,
but
it
is
a
big
opportunity
and
it
will
be
a
big
commitment
and
the
beauty
of
enhancing
downtown's
is
that
it
isn't
just
an
investment
in
quality
of
life.
But
it's
one
and
we'll
talk
to
go
to
touch
on
this
a
little
more,
it's
one
that
returns
itself
in
private
dollars
and,
ultimately
in
tax
dollars.
G
What
we'd
like
to
do
tonight
is
kind
of
have
we're
going
to
first
have
Lynn
Rimmer's,
who,
if
you
recognize
that
name,
Lynn
Lynn,
isn't
exactly
a
Watertown
native
but
she's.
The
next
best
thing
she's,
a
native
in
LA
and
she's,
been
she
has
really
gone
beyond.
What
was
would
be
expected
of
anybody
she's
here
on
behalf
of
MSH
architects.
H
Right,
Thank,
You
Nancy,
one
of
the
things
we
wanted
to,
let
everybody
know
in
the
beginning
of
the
Charette,
was
that
downtown's
matter
they're
the
center
of
your
city.
It's
what
started
your
cities,
it's
where
your
cultural
hub
is.
It's
an
important
city
centers,
where
your
employment,
a
lot
of
your
employment,
your
city
agencies,
are
so
bringing
that
all
together
really
does
matter
and
I
know
it
matters
for
a
lot
of
people
behind
me.
I
know
what
matters
to
a
lot
of
you
guys.
So
it
was
a
really
important
concept.
H
We
wanted
to
bring
right
away
in
the
beginning,
ran
across
this
just
the
other
day.
A
quote
from
the
mayor
in
Grand,
Forks
communities
have
strong,
downtown's
or
strong
communities
and
to
see
something
like
that
from
a
city.
Leader
was
just
a
great
thing
to
see.
Coming
from
somebody
who
understands
somebody
who
is
doing
the
work
in
their
communities
and
getting
the
job
done
so
I
want
just
a
little
bit
on
an
organization
called
strong
towns.
H
We
had
them
come
visit
with
us
and
talk
about
building
our
cities
and
one
of
the
things
he
touched
on.
It's
a
gentleman
named
Charles
Marone
and
he
started
strong
towns,
basically
from
a
blog,
and
it
became
in
this
kind
of
national
phenomenon
where
now
he
goes
around
to
cities
and
talks
about
how
we're
developing
our
cities
and
how
we
can
be
doing
things
to
basically
do
some
more
smart
growth.
Although
that's
not
the
right
term,
he
doesn't
like
to
use,
but
he
talks
about
low
risk
and
high
return
and
focusing
on
that
low
risk.
H
Low
risk
is
incremental
building
and
it's
how
our
towns
were
created.
We
started,
you
know
with
one
intersection
and
a
few
buildings
and
then,
when
those
became
full,
we
needed
to
add
more
buildings.
So
it
was
this
very
small,
incremental
growth
that
happened
when
our
student
cities
became
what
they
are
today
after
he
talked
about
world
war.
Two,
after
that
cities
became
more
widespread,
it
became
more
of
a
build
it
and
they
will
come
mentality.
So
you
got
cities
growing
outward
rather
than
focusing
inward,
so
your
downtown's
really
started
to
decline.
H
H
So
what
could
we
do
or
what
do
we
see
around
Watertown?
That
is
those
nickels
and
dimes
that
we
can
pick
up
and
really
enhance
and
follow
through
with
those
investments
and
those
sustainable
strategies
that
will
help
maintain
our
cities
and
help
help
our
cities
become
strong
financially,
as
well
as
a
strong
community
bond
I.
H
Talked
a
little
bit
about
this:
this
is
done
by
an
Public
Interest
project
where
they've
taken
and
compared
to
land
use
projects.
This
is
done
in
Asheville,
North
Carolina
and
they
studied
a
Walmart
development
and
a
six
story.
Historical
building,
located
in
their
downtown
and
I,
don't
want
to
say
anything
negative
about
big-box
stores
its.
We
all
have
them.
H
But
what
I
want
to
point
out
is
the
land-use
comparison
and,
if
you
think,
of
a
Wal
Mart
or
the
shopping
malls,
or
you
know
that
big
box
store
mentality
and
look
at
that
land
use
and
where
they're
located
they're
located
on
the
outskirts
of
town
but
most
of
their
their
land,
their
acreage
is
all
parking
lots.
So
if
you
think
in
terms
of
a
parking
lot
is
not
going
to
return,
you
any
investment,
and
so
when
you
could
break
it
down
per
acres,
where
you
really
start
to
see
that
comparison.
H
H
Now,
moving
forward,
we
have
highlighted
a
few
categories
in
the
results
of
the
Charette
listed
here:
parking
and
streets,
land-use
design
and
management,
neighborhoods,
downtown
housing,
retail
and
employment
and
open
spaces
or
green
spaces
or
parks.
So
these
were
kind
of
the
the
main
bullet
points
that
we've
touched
on
in
the
strategy
implemented
implementation
strategy
and
they'll
be
listed
in
more
detail.
H
But
what
I
wanted
to
point
out
was
that,
throughout
those
processes,
the
main
thing
to
keep
focused
on
is
to
continue
to
engage
the
community,
your
building
owners
and
your
stakeholders,
because
they're
gonna
be
the
ones
that
are
going
to
push
through
and
make
everything
happen
and
really
good
get
things
moving.
So
continuing
that
engagement
is
key
to
success
and
also
key
point
is
focusing
on
walkable
urbanism.
If
you
can
walk
somewhere,
downtown
you're
gonna
get
people
to
do
that
and
to
commit
to
that.
H
H
This
is
something
that
isn't
a
short-term
process,
but
it's
going
to
be
needed
to
get
the
ball
rolling
right
away,
a
catalytic
project,
something
that
can
be
done
to
really
show
community
that
you're
invested
in
them.
That
you're
invested
in
the
project
the
plan
and
it
really
helps
get
everybody
on
board
and
there's
been
a
number
of
communities
who
have
taken
a
project
like
that
and
been
very
successful
with
it.
There's
a
facade
easement
program
that
we've
suggested
a
master
plan
for
downtown
and
building
inventory.
H
We've
talked
about
the
traffic
patterns
a
few
times
the
going
from
the
runways
back
to
the
two
ways:
repairs
improvements
to
an
existing
infrastructure
and
I
know
some
of
that
planning
has
been
going
and
started,
which
is
great
to
see
existing
downtown
business
owners
again,
involving
them
getting
gaining.
That
support
is
going
to
be
huge
and
then
initiate
the
beautification
within
your
existing
streets
in
your
landscape
planners
benches,
signage.
H
They
also
have
a
facade
improvement,
grant
program
that
they
have
initiated
and
then
also
a
non-word
Yankton
entrepreneurship
goals.
They
claim
they
wanted
to
be
the
Entrepreneurship
capital
of
South
Dakota.
So
by
allowing
new
business
owners
starting
out
entrepreneurs
downtown
spaces
that
allow
them
to
create
and
begin
their
businesses,
it's
their
kind
of
niche.
If
you
will
in
their
plan
and
then
they
also
have
the
University
there
that
they
want
to
capitalize
on
and
and
get
people
to
stay
in
Yankton.
H
This
is
just
an
image
of
their
master
plan
and
I
wanted
to
point
it
out
that
across
from
that
Riverside
Park
right
now,
I,
don't
know
if
you're
familiar
with
Yankton,
but
there's
not
a
lot
happening
there.
But
it
looks
like
from
this
image
that
they're
they're
really
trying
to
develop
that
side
and
get
that
you
know
incorporate
that
Riverside
Park
into
the
plan.
H
H
Planning
and
branding
for
the
community,
they
had
a
lot
of
different
scenarios,
I
guess
with
their
tourism
a
lot
of
obviously
going
to
Mount.
Rushmore
people
didn't
stop
and
wrap
it.
So
they
wanted
to
really
capitalize
on
that
tourism
aspect,
so
they
found
what
worked
for
them.
What
was
their
strengths
and
they
built
off
that
they
do
have
a
Business
Improvement
District.
H
H
Will
take
or
have
done
a
lot
with
help
funding
the
Main
Street
square.
Also,
one
of
the
key
components
was
identifying
stakeholders
for
them,
the
businesses
and
the
tourism,
and
having
that
common
vision,
getting
everybody
on
board,
so
they
know
where
they
were
heading.
That
was
a
huge
step
for
them.
They
felt
it
very
important
to
enforce
that
Historical
Preservation
aspect
of
their
downtown
buildings
and
currently
they're
completing
a
downtown
master
plan.
H
H
That
was
one
thing
they
commented
was
overcoming
the
challenges
was
something
that
was
was
very
difficult
in
a
way
for
them.
They
had
a
couple,
not
only
physical
barriers,
with
the
with
railroads
or
the
way
their
streets
were
designed,
but
also
a
cultural
burial
barrier
where
the
Native
American
population
didn't
necessarily
feel
included
in
the
downtown
plan
and
in
the
strategy,
and
so
trying
to
overcome
that
and
make
sure
it
was
inclusive
to
everyone.
Was
an
important
step
for
them?
A.
H
Little
bit
on
Sioux
Falls
pictures
to
the
right
or
a
comparison
picture
of
what
Falls
Park
was
like,
while
the
rail
yard
was
is
going
through
downtown
in
the
picture
to
the
far
right
is
when
the
relocated,
the
rail
yard
and
they
created
the
Phillips
to
the
Falls
and
that
was
kind
of
Sioux
Falls
catalyst
project
to
get
there
downtown
revitalized.
So
I
just
want
to
show
those
two
pictures.
H
The
arts
and
culture
with
sculpture,
walk
and
the
Washington
Pavel
yin,
and
also
the
River
Greenway
project
has
taken
on
a
little
bit
of
a
life
of
its
own
recently,
with
engaging
kind
of
the
east
side
of
the
city
with
the
east
bank
development,
so
getting
to
really
utilize
both
sides
of
the
river
or
something
that's
that's
been
a
good
thing
for
Sioux
Falls
they're,
currently
going
through
the
Main
Avenue
Road
diet.
They
painted
stripes
and
added
some
planners
kind
of
temporarily
to
see
how
it
would
work
and
they're.
H
Downtown
Sioux
Falls
is
a
nonprofit
organization.
Well,
I
want
to
put
their
mission
statement
on
here.
One
of
the
thing
I
liked
about
it
was
that
it
was
designing
for
downtown's
our
place
for
everyone.
I
guess
it's
in
their
vision,
downtown
a
place
for
anyone
and
everyone
to
work
live
shop.
Eat
visit
enjoy
in
experience,
so
I
really
like
that
concept
of
its
it's
not
just
for
the
business
owners.
It's
not
just
for
the
shoppers
or
it's
not
just
for
the
people
that
live
there.
It's
really
is
for
everybody,
and
residents
and
visitors
alike,.
H
H
Then
the
TIF
one,
but
the
Business
Improvement
District
they
do
have
a
VI
D
and
then
also
something
they've
been
doing
lately.
Quite
a
bit
of
is
offering
city-owned
property
for
development,
so
they'll
put
out
an
RFP
and
get
responses
back
for
different
developments
and
I.
Think
they've
had
quite
a
few
successful
projects
come
out
of
it
and
they
have
the
downtown
Sioux.
Falls
actually
does
the
retail
incubator
program
where
they
have
kind
of
an
incentive
for
new
businesses
to
come
downtown
I.
Think
it's
a
couple
months,
free
rent
or
something
like
that.
H
H
Development
and
events
is
what
they
typically
kind
of
handle.
One
of
their
bigger
projects
was
the
downtown
streetscape
project
and
this
project
kind
of
started
with
one
person
and
they
basically
initiated
and
got
a
grant,
and
then
the
city
also
invested
about
four
million
dollars
to
finish
this
project.
There
was
a
lot
of
infrastructure
updates
and
then
also
when
the
city
was
doing.
This
construction
works
the
business
owners.
A
lot
of
them
took
advantage
of
that
time
and
said
some
streets
gonna
be
closed.
I'm
gonna
update
my
facade
or
update
my
signage
or
what-have-you.
E
H
This
is
a
little
bit
more
about
the
downtown
Brookings
organization.
They
do
a
lot
of
social
media.
Their
websites
really
easy
to
get
around
easy
to
find
events
going
on
where
businesses
are
located,
so
it's
become
a
really
good
tool
for
them
and,
as
people
visit
Brookings
a
couple
events
that
they've
had
they
basically
created
within
the
last
few
years.
I
believe
Taste
of
Brookings
downtown
at
sundown,
downtown
retail
incentive
grant
it's
very
similar
to
the
Sioux
Falls
one
and
then
a
signage
grant
that
people
have
utilized
if
they
need
wanted
to
update
their
signage.
H
All
right,
aberdeen
again
very
similar
with
the
Business
Improvement
District,
but
building
owners
actually
developed.
It
got
together
and
said
we're
going
to
tax
ourselves
and
then
we're
going
to
fund
this
revitalization
efforts
and
the
Aberdeen
downtown
Association
was
started
with
volunteers
to
market
and
promote
downtown.
H
They
started
new
events
downtown
to
draw
visitors
and
also
implemented
a
TIF
project
for
the
TIF
financing
for
the
streetscape
project
and
one
of
the
things
I
thought
they
would.
They
mentioned
that
I
thought
was
really
insightful
was
during
construction.
They
always
kept
one
lane
of
traffic
open
at
all
times
and
they
always
maintained
sidewalk
for
pedestrians.
So
whenever
they
had
work
going
on,
it
didn't
stop
the
activity.
H
A
little
bit
of
advice
from
other
communities,
community
engagement,
again
very
important
to
ensure
that
common
goal
break
down
any
ethnic
or
age
barriers
and
focus
on
quick
wins.
Do
some
small
things
that
you
can
accomplish
to
to
get
people
engaged
to
get
people
excited
and
to
get
people
thinking
about
the
possibilities
and
those
quick
wins
quickly.
Get
you
to
the
next
step
and
keep
the
process
going.
G
Thank,
You,
Lynn
and
and
I
should
have
started
by
thanking
you,
the
city
for
funding
MSH,
getting
your
arms
around
this
whole
issue
was
a
challenge,
but
MSH
worked
well
with
us
and
to
help
solicit
the
input,
all
of
which,
if
you
want
the
details,
are
in
the
appendices
to
your
written
report.
But
thank
you
very
much,
just
two
other
quick
comments
and
then
I
want
to
bring
up
some
other
folks.
G
It
occurred
to
me
as
Lynn
was
talking
that
you
know
we
heard
about
reduce,
reuse
and
recycle,
and
we
know
that's
the
right
thing
to
do
when
we're
talking
about
the
consumables
I
think
in
a
way
that's
kind
of
what
we're
talking
about
when
America's
coming
back
American
towns
are
coming
back
to
their
downtown's.
It's
a
reduce
the
the
notion
that
you
got
to
keep
sprawling
reuse.
The
things
you've
already
got.
We
already
have
infrastructure,
we
already
have
streets,
we
already
have
buildings
and
recycle.
G
You
know
find
some
new
uses
for
some
of
the
things
and
of
you
know.
The
perfect
example
is
you
know
the
old
ponds
bakery
and
before
that
balsa
Gers
is
now.
You
know
the
Watertown
Brewing
Company
and
a
lot
of
fun
for
people
to
go
down
there,
and
the
third
thing
I
just
want
to
mention
before
we
bring
folks
up,
is
the
multiplication
factor
Lynne
mentioned
in
Brookings,
that
when
the
public
funds
were
being
spent,
it
spurred
other
people
to
do
it.
All.
G
You
have
to
do
to
see
that
that
is
that's
a
common
human
trait
apparently
is
walk
down
the
alley
that
got
done
last
summer.
The
alley
behind
my
holding
behind
the
old
post
office
building-
god
bless
the
you
know
you
folks
in
the
utilities,
came
in
and
cleaned
up
the
alley
and
it
just
spread
from
there.
I
think
it
would
be
fair
to
say
that
at
almost
every
single
linear
foot
down
the
alley,
those
of
us
with
property
on
either
side
fixed
up
it.
G
I
Committee
for
the
Charette
and,
frankly,
I
didn't
know
what
a
sure
it
was,
but
that
committee
really
worked
to
bring
together
as
many
people
as
possible
to
give
us
as
many
ideas
as
possible
and
that's
what
happened
and
that's
what
this
report
is,
that
you've
received
it's
not
from
our
committee.
It's
from
the
people
that
attended
the
Charette
and
I
was
really
impressed
and
have
been
impressed
in
this
process
about
the
the
multi-generational
interest.
I
I
We
want
to
improve
the
appearance
of
the
downtown
and
I.
Think
that's
one
of
the
goals
from
the
Charette,
but
that
doesn't
happen
in
a
vacuum
nobody's
going
to
do
that
if
they
don't
see
some
benefit,
and
that
means
we
have
to
get
people
living
downtown
and
using
these
buildings
that
are
going
to
be
revitalized,
and
that
also
means
that
we
need
people
working
downtown
who
will
live
downtown
and
who
will
use
that
the
stores,
the
the
new
brewery
and
things
like
that.
I
I
It's
a
public-private
partnership-
that's
worked
in
many
communities
and
I
think
my
park
idea
will
be
a
great
supplement
to
it,
but
we
got
to
get
started
on
the
on
the
core
of
the
community.
First
and
then
there'll
be
a
lot
of
things
that
spin
off
and
I
think
the
tax
slide
that
we
saw
is
really
powerful
it
really.
You
can
really
see
the
return
on
investment
is
huge.
Thank
you.
J
Good
evening,
I'm
John
Olsen
from
Hagen
Nelson,
Realty
and
three
four
years
ago,
I
had
the
opportunity
to
visit
Asheville
North
Carolina
and
see
firsthand
what
they
had
had
done
with
her
downtown.
That's
the
first
time
that
it
really
generated
a
lot
of
interest
with
me
about
what
could
actually
happen
here
in
a
lot
of
time.
J
Think
the
timing
is
just
prime
for
us
to
move
ahead
for
this
community
move
ahead,
for
it's
not
only
a
quality
of
life
issue
which
therefore
transfers
you
know
into
economic
development
being
in
the
visit
business
that
I
am
I'm
in
touch
with
a
lot
of
people,
possibly
moving
to
Watertown
from
within
our
state
or
from
other
states
and
as
I
tore
them
through
water
time.
These
people,
coming
from
from
other
areas,
one
of
the
things
that
they
asked
me
is
let's
go.
Look
at
your
downtown.
How
was
your
downtime?
J
Those
are
a
lot
going
on
down
there,
and
this
comes
from
all
generations,
not
just
the
younger
generation
and
I
think
in
order
to
keep
pace
with
other
communities
within
our
state
and
to
move
our
community
forward.
We
need
to
take
action
on
this.
I
think
this
is
just
a
very
exciting
thing
for
for
our
community
and
I'm,
definitely
behind
it.
So
thank
you.
G
K
How
we
doing
Joe
VTech
good
to
see
you
all
I,
just
want
to
say
that
you
have
an
opportunity,
especially
the
timing,
is
perfect.
You've
got
your
2020
land
management
plan
coming
coming
up,
it's
a
golden
opportunity
to
take
a
vision
and
and
plug
it
into
a
strategic
plan
and
to
actually
make
a
difference.
That's
all
I
wanted
to
say
thanks.
L
Hi
I'm
John,
repiy
I
am
a
building
owner
and
also
a
resident
of
downtown
and
I
agree
with
Nancy
that
that
we
are
at
a
point
where
we
can
definitely
build
on
what
we
currently
have
going
and
I
think
it'll
make
a
great
quality
of
life.
Improvement
for
downtown
and
Jen
I
have
lived
down
here
for
just
about
five
years
now,
that'll
be
five
years
in
October,
and
we
we've
seen
some
herbs
and
flows
we're
definitely
on
the
upswing
right
now.
L
So
so,
if
we
could
put
something
together
at
this
point
to
keep
that
momentum
going,
I
think
it
would
be
a
great
thing
for
Watertown
and-
and
there
is
enough
for
people
to
do
where
Angie
and
I
can
park
our
car
at
five
o'clock
on
a
Friday
afternoon
and
not
not
drive
again
until
Monday
morning
when
we
go
to
work
right.
So
a
lot
of
the
things
that
a
community
needs
for
this
downtown
are
already
in
place.
B
I
got
out
before
you
leave
I
have
a
couple,
quick
questions
for
you
bit
bork
we
had
to
bid.
We
had
a
bid
tax.
You
know
that
every
every
property
owner
was
involved
in
and
it
seemed
like
it
just
didn't:
go
anyplace.
You
know
the
money
kind
of
just
kept
growing
growing
facades,
some
would
get
loans
on
facades,
but
there
was
no
real
way
to
to
say.
Well,
you
know
this
is
the
type
of
facade.
We
want
to
see
uptown
that
there
has
to
be
something.
B
L
I
think
if
there
was
a
vision
and
a
plan
and
and
kind
of
a
path
to
see
where
that
was
actually
going
and
improving
I
mean,
if
that's
the
only
way
to
get
it
started,
I
don't
see
how
a
property
owner
could
say,
no
plus
there's
already
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
left
in
there
from
before
correct
I.
Don't.
G
G
G
But
what
I
was
gonna
say:
Steve
is
I,
think
it's
part
of
it
as
part
of
an
overall
plan
with
a
lot
of
other
things
happening
when
it's
standing
all
by
itself,
it's
sort
of
like
if
I
planted,
one
tulip
and
the
wind
just
kind
of
thing,
but
if
I've
got
a
beautiful
pot
of
flowers,
there's
a
synergy
there,
so
I
think
the
idea
of
it
coming
back
as
part
of
a
bigger
plan.
But,
as
you
heard
it
can't
just
belong,
I
mean
we
are
an
economic,
doubly
depressed
area.
B
The
good
of
the
whole
city,
yeah
and
I
have
just
a
couple
more
before
I,
open
it
up
to
everybody
else.
Here
to
the
things
that
I'm
curious
about
the
one-way
streets
that
we
currently
have
it
I
know
it
showed
up
there
that
we
should
look
at
a
two-way
and
and
I
think
the
council
has
been
very
open
to
to
doing
that,
but
we've
had
conflicting
reports,
whether
it
should
be
just
first
Avenue
or
whether
it
should
be
camp
and
1st
Avenue.
That's
my
first
question:
do
we
go
both
or
do
we
just
go
partially?
B
G
There
were
actually
there
was
some
sub
major
ideas
that
came
out:
I
I,
don't
have
the
authority
to
say
this.
One
is
better
than
that
one,
but,
for
example,
if
there
is
going
to
be
a
new
city
hall,
we
hope
it's
downtown
and
we
hope
that
it
may
incorporate
a
relatively
large
outdoor
space,
a
Plaza
that
would
be
a
gathering
space.
G
That
would
certainly
I
mean
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
the
building
the
city
hall
itself
is
a
catalyst,
but
thinking
more
creatively,
and
instead
of
instead
of
seeing
you
know,
what's
the
least
we
can
do,
and
how
can
we
squeak
by
here
if
we
instead
think
a
little
bit
bigger
about,
perhaps
an
downtown
plaza?
That
would
be
one
example.
Yeah.
B
G
G
G
Don't
know
if
you'll
speak
up
but
I
know
there
was
one
person
in
particular
at
my
table
that
came
as
a
fairly
I
think
adamant
opponent
of
two-way
streets
and
left
saying
you
know
what
I
get
it
and
let
me
give
you
a
short
version
when,
in
the
70s
downtown's
all
across
America
started
sort
of
bleeding,
because
everybody
was
leaving
and
going
out
to
the
mall
with
with
very
good
intention.
The
idea
was
sort
of
like
well.
G
How
can
we
become
sort
of
more
edge
of
town
like
and,
if
you
think
about
it,
if
you
went
down
and
stood
at
the
east
end
of
camp
and
looked
down
camp,
it
almost
becomes
laughable.
It's
and
I
don't
take
anything
away
from
the
people
that
meant
to
do
what
they
I
mean.
They
had
good
intentions,
but
they
it's
got
yeah.
Even
all
day
am
I
Albertson,
maybe
but
I'm
proud,
I
know
I'm
older
than
both
of
you.
But
but
the
thing
is
it's
like:
okay,
let's
make
it
a
thoroughfare,
so
you
widen
it
up.
G
You
make
one
way
traffic,
you
have
highway
lights
and
it
was
well
intended,
but
it's
turned
out
to
be
a
failed
experiment.
All
it
doesn't
it
didn't
help
and
it
doesn't
in
fact
it
works.
Contrary
I
wasn't
at
the
comedy
thing
last
weekend,
but
I
was
told
that
one
of
the
out-of-town
guys
that
was
in
doing
a
stand-up
comedy
stick
mentioned
how
silly
it
was
that
we
had
this
these
one-way
streets
and-
and
you
know
you
sort
of
encourage
people
to
rush
from
one
end
of
town
to
the
other.
G
The
strong
town's
guy
calls
them
strode.
It's
like
a
street
is
supposed
to
be
the
place
where
you
get
out.
You
walk
around.
You
enjoy
Thursday,
Night,
Live
or
you
enjoy
the
sculpture,
walk.
A
road
is
what
you
get
in
when
you're
going.
You
know
from
here
to
there
and
we've
made
camp
in
into
a
strode
I
think
that
we
came
away
with
almost
unanimous,
if
not
unanimous
agreement,
but
the
people
that
actually
went
through
the
Charette
process
that
we
need
to
get
rid
of
both
both
one
ways.
G
L
For
me,
one
of
the
other
points
of
the
destination
in
going
back
to
a
two-way
I
was
one
of
the
people
that
was
very
against
it.
From
from
the
onset
of
the
the
conversation
starting
and
I'm,
not
I'm,
open
to
it
and
I
I.
From
from
what
we
learned
at
the
Charette,
it
may
be
the
best
idea
for
downtown
part
of
that
is
making
the
downtown
the
destination
place
that
you
want
to
stop
at
right.
L
You
know:
you're,
not
driving
through
downtown
in
the
streets,
become
less
important,
because
people
are
looking
to
get
out
and
walk
around
and
and
spend
time
in
our
downtown
versus
coming
and
going
to
that
one
store
and
finding
that
parking
spot
in
front
of
it
and
only
stopping
if
they
get
that
spot.
Otherwise,
they'll
just
go
off
and
go
to
Walmart
and
get
what
they
need.
You
know
it's
it's
the
destination
portion
of
it
and
in
the
walkable
downtown,
that's
really
going
to
make
us
stand
out
versus
the
other
communities
in
in
South
Dakota.
N
O
N
As
it
is,
an
opportunity
to
grow
in
personally
and
I
got
to
see
a
lot
of
really
neat
things
and
I
got
to
travel
to
different
places.
I
spent
some
time,
I
lived
in
Boulder,
Colorado
and
I,
don't
know
if
anybody's
been
there
but
there's
a
place
called
Pearl
Street,
it's
a
walking
mall
and
it's
there
downtown
area,
yep
Bill's
nodding.
N
Denver
has
Market
Street
and
16th
Street
Mall.
This
Twin
Cities
has
dinky
town
and
a
couple
other
places
Yankton
is
working
on
their
downtown.
I
was
in
Yankton
a
couple
years:
hadn't
been
there
for
10
years.
If
Brookings
Asheville,
you
name
it
when
I
go
to
a
place,
I
see
I,
don't
want
to
go
to
the
Buffalo
Wild
Wings
and
I'm,
not
gonna.
Take
it
yeah
I,
don't
want
to
detract
from
that.
I
mean
there's
nothing
unique
about
that.
I
can
go
to
that
anywhere.
N
These
are
things
I,
consider
I,
consider
what
sort
of
quality
of
life
what
activities
do
I
have
things
that
are
safe,
unique
and
there
are
just
a
lot
of
fun.
I
mean
a
lot
of
these
people.
I
know
from
my
Friday
nights
out,
there's
nowhere
else
like
the
Watertown
Brewing
Company.
There's
no
place
else
like
that.
N
P
G
I
think
there's
there's
two
different
things
that
have
been
mentioned:
a
Business
Improvement
District
and
our
urban
renewal
board
functions
to
the
extent
I
mean
it's
at
least
theoretically
could
be
a
Business
Improvement
District
in
the
sense
of
taxing
and
have
getting
that
input,
but
the
501
the
private
nonprofit
has
anticipated
is
really.
It
would
really
be
quite
a
bit
broader
and
I
think
deeper
than
then.
What
the
scope
of
urban
renewal
district
would
be
broader
in
the
sense
that
we're
talking
about
a
lot
more
than
park
benches
and
flowers,
an
occasional
loan.
G
You
know
for
a
sign
we're
really
talking
about
something
that
would
be
a
major
involve
some
major
programs,
incentives
for
brick-and-mortar
programs
facades,
whether
that
would
be
facade
easement
working
with
Street
and
Parks
departments
of
the
city,
to
perhaps
expand
that
the
attractiveness
of
city
properties
and
so
forth.
So
in
some
ways
it's
a
lot
broad,
it's
a
lot
broader
and
frankly,
I
mean
deeper
in
the
sense
of
more
major
projects.
It
is
not
just
brick-and-mortar,
though
bill.
It's
also
talking
about
programmatic
stuff,
a
lot
of
programmatic
things,
some
of
which
is
getting
done.
G
P
I,
you
know
I
would
be
the
first
say,
don't
start
the
tax
until
you
have
a
plan
so
that
people
are
buying
into
the
program
and,
as
Liam
said,
you
know,
Boulder
of
all
of
these
places,
my
youngest
son,
we
go,
they
never
go
out
to
eat
anyplace,
but
in
these
little
areas,
and
when
they
come
here
to
town
is
to
the
gauss
is
to
pasture.
They
don't
and
they
don't
a
lot
of
stuff's
available.
That's
what
they
want
to
do,
but
it
I
think
it
the
two
way.
P
I've
been
a
proponent
of
that
since
way
back
the
the
thing
the
Downton
need
to
be
looked
at
as
a
walking
with
the
art
that's
already
down
there.
I
mean
it's
a
perfect
thing
to
take
an
evening
and
just
walk
and
look
at
that.
Take
a
few
minutes
and
you
know
read
about
each
one
of
those
things
and
if
we
look
at
it
that
that's
the,
if
we
can
get
a
consensus
and
that's
where
we
want
a
goal,
then
I
think
we
got
a
vision
and
I
think
you're
completely
right.
P
I
know
that
you
know
the
concept
was
all
things.
Let's
get
people
moving,
but
we
need
to
slow
them
down.
We
need
to
get
them
and
I
think
one
of
the
things
the
city
participation
would
be.
How
do
we
deal
with
parking
and
some
of
those
things?
So
that's
going
to
be.
We
don't
want
all
the
parking
on
the
Main
Street.
We
need
to
have
the
people
get
out
and
walk
and
use
the
duck,
use
the
sidewalks
and
even
parts
of
the
streets
for
that
maybe
biking
and
things
like
that.
P
But
anyway,
that
now
my
first
question
was,
it
seems,
like
we
already
have
the
vehicle
there
to
do
that,
whether
we
rebranded
or
maybe
this
needs
to
be
changed
to
completely
different
to
be
the
501
3c
type
of
thing.
If
that's
needs
to
be
a
broader
scope
or
if
different
bigger
area
needs
to
be
incorporated
in
the
urban
and
all
the
boundaries
you
know
we're
set,
and
maybe
those
boundaries
need
to
be
relooked
at.
O
Good
evening,
Megan
Gruman
from
the
chamber
I
just
wanted
to
chime
in
from
a
Chamber
of
Commerce
standpoint,
we're
taking
calls
probably
we've
seen
in
the
last
year
a
year
and
a
half
people
inquiring
about
vacancies,
uptown
from
both
local
folks
excited
about
starting
a
business
uptown,
but
we
get
a
lot
of
calls
from
people
outside
of
the
community
wanted
wanting
to
be
bring
in
a
boutique.
We
just
took
a
call
about
an
Italian
restaurant
last
week,
so
there
is
a
want
in
a
desire.
O
I
can't
reiterate
how
timing
on
this
just
seems
to
feel
so
right.
The
folks
that
come
we've
been
uptown
for
10
years.
Our
offices
have
been
uptown
for
10
years
and
the
folks
that
are
coming
in
bill.
You
hit
the
nail
on
the
head
they're
coming
in
and
saying:
where
can
we
go
and
have
dinner
and
we're
not
talking
about?
Because
those
are
our
members
too?
Those
are
important
parts
of
our
community
but
they're
talking
about
the
Harry's
and
the
Watertown
Brewing
Company
and
the
gas.
They
want
a
unique
Watertown
experience.
O
So
you
have
some
exciting
times
in
front
of
you
and
we're
we're
thrilled
as
a
chamber
to
support
whatever
we
can
do.
We're
launching
our
wine
walk.
That's
gonna
happen
on
June
9th.
We
put
it
out
on
Facebook
went
crazy.
Folks
are
so
excited
they're,
so
excited
to
be
able
to
come
uptown
and
a
good
way
to
celebrate
the
kickoff
at
Thursday,
Night
Live,
so
I
got.
B
G
What
a
great
you
throwing
me
a
softball!
That's
a
nice
transition
to
into
my
closing
comments.
I!
Don't
want
to
cut
off
anybody
else
that
there
was
anyone
that
had
a
burning
comment
to
me.
Maybe
they'll
stay
around
and
voice
themselves
in
them.
Their
opinions
I
think
it's
fair
to
say
that
we
that
these
folks
are
not
here
to
protest.
What
we're
suggesting
I
will
say
that
I
think
it's
important
to
think
of
this
as
kind
of
two
tracks,
they're
sort
of
or
maybe
you'd-
think
about
it
like
two
gears
on
a
bike.
G
G
But
what
we're
here
asking
for
you
right
now
is
to
just
as
individuals,
I
guess
and
and
hopefully,
as
a
group,
just
commit
yourselves
to
begin
to
work
with
the
private
sector
in
an
even
more
enthusiastic
and
major
way
than
you
have
on
a
long
term,
probably
eight
to
ten
years.
A
project
commit
to
the
idea
that
our
downtown
is
not.
You
know
the
the
borrowed
mule
that
that,
whatever
that
it.
G
G
All
right
that
that,
and
that
that
you
commit
to
the
idea
that
you
and
you
guys
know
better
than
I-
do
what
it
is
you're
doing
and
what
you're
Department
people
are
doing
on
any
at
any
given
day
but
but
to
plan
as
you
as
you
plan,
whatever
you're
doing
plan
for
the
city.
Involvement
in
what
we're
talking
about
I
do
think
that
I
would
really
strongly
urge
the
city,
if
you
don't
do
it
as
a
City
Council,
then
I'm
hoping
maybe
the
Community,
Foundation
or
somebody
would
fund,
would
bring
actually
bring
the
strong
towns.
G
G
G
We
are
not
doing
that
yet
we're
talking
to
some
folks
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
right
form
is
and
the
right
mix
and
it
will,
but
it
will
be
an
entity
that
the
sole
focus
will
be
downtown
development,
both
brick-and-mortar
and
programmatic,
and
we're
going
to
be
hitting
you
up,
I
suppose
as
individuals
and
maybe
the
mayor
and
particular
for
advice
on
financing
task
force.
That
was
a
run
of
the
recommendations.
G
Probably
the
City
Council
I
mean
the
city,
finance
officer,
and
probably
some
of
you
as
individuals
will
be
asked
for
your
ideas
and
your
input
and
your
your
time
I'm
just
asking
I
guess
that
is
the
long
term
that
you'd
be
ready
for
that
kind
of
big
big
role
to
start
rolling,
and
we
do
need
I
mean
when
you're
talking
about
a
master
plan
for
downtown.
That
would
presumably
be
a
city
document,
and
you
know
it
doesn't
necessarily
have
to
be
difficult.
G
We
could
plagiarize
about
eight
out
of
nine
of
the
points
from
Sioux
Falls
master
plan.
That
happened
to
be
at
the
front
page
article
like
yesterday.
It
was
very
good
timing.
I
was
so
nice
of
them
to
put
that
article
in
right
before
we
were
coming
so
that's
kind
of
I
mean
I.
Want
you
to
be
thinking
about
sort
of
in
an
institutional
way,
how
the
city
as
an
institution
starts,
gearing
up
to
participate
long
term,
then
the
smaller
gear,
the
first
steps,
some
of
it
I'm
pretty
sure,
you've
already
started.
G
G
You
know
get
rid
of
the
big
ugly
vapor,
lights,
downtown
and
frankly
join
us,
and
that
came
out
of
the
Charette
it
we
struggled
through
even
just
the
verbage,
because,
as
Brad
Johnson
mentioned
in
his
column
years
ago,
another
band-aid
people
thought
was
well.
If
we
call
it
uptown,
maybe
it'll
still
come.
It
is
an
uptown.
Merriam-Webster
defines
uptown
as
an
area
away
from
the
city.
Core
and
uptown
is
a
residential
area.
Distinct,
it's
not
a
synonym.
So
it
was
a
good
effort
and
well
intended,
but
it
felt
it
failed.
G
There's
a
reason
why
every
other
city
calls
their
downtown
downtown.
It's
because
that's
actually
the
word.
That
means
what
we're
talking
about.
So
we
just
need
to
start
embracing
the
whole
energy
of
of
this
I
think
we
can
I
mean
I'd
like
to
say
start
tomorrow,
but
I
have
a
feeling.
You've
already
started
yesterday
as
far
as
the
downtown
parking
lots,
but
with
regard
to
the
lighting,
the
two-way
streets
and
signage
I'd
say:
let's
start
tomorrow,.
R
R
G
I
would
have
to
get
look
and
I,
think
yeah
and
in
fact,
though,
I
think
actually
I
think
it
probably
cuts
the
other
way.
The
problem,
another
problem
with
rushing
people
through
by
hoping
to
line
up
lights
and
have
one-way
traffic
is
the
traffic
does
go
fast
and
the
safety.
And
if
you
talk
about
a
pedestrian
area,
you
want
traffic
moving
slowly
and
it
was
interesting
if
I'm,
a
pedestrian
or
I'm
on
might
well,
if
I'm
a
pedestrian
at
a
stop
light.
G
G
Other
places
understand
the
idea
of
bikes
and
pedestrians
were
just
kind
of
catching
up
in
South,
Dakota
and
safety
really
means
slow
down,
make
it
safe
for
pedestrians
and
encourage
people
to
get
off
their
Duff's
and
onto
their
bicycles,
and
so
the
safety
is
an
issue
Mike.
But
honestly
it
tends
to
cut
I.
Think
the
opposite.
I
didn't
listen
to
the
radio
comment
this
morning
that
you're
talking
about,
but
I
think
we
it
would.
It
would
require
more
angled
parking,
partly
because
you
know
every
10th
person
has
this
ginormous
pickup
truck.
G
That
goes
half
way
across
the
street,
but
we'd
have
to
have
more
angling,
and
you
know
it's
also
going
to
have
to
require
an
attitude
adjustment
among
all
of
us
and
I.
Think
some
public
service
promotions
on
parking.
We
can.
We
should
brag
about
the
fact
that
we
have
free
public
parking
lots
and
if
the
city
fixes
them
up
and
they're
clean
and
they
don't
look
like
you're
gonna,
you
know
either
trip
ones,
yeah
get
mugged
or
trip
on
some
broken
glass.
We
that's
a
selling
point.
G
How
many
you
know
you
can
go
if
you
go
to
Minneapolis
or
even
Sioux
Falls
and
you
get
within
a
block
or
two
of
where
you're
going
to
go
and
you
have
to
pay
for
it.
You're
still
happy,
but
we
have
free
public
parking
and
you
know
which
a
lot
of
it
is
just
a
matter
of
promotion
and
marketing.
So
I
do
think
we're
going
to.
It
would
require
diminishing
the
number
of
spaces
so
that
we
will
have
more
a
sharper
angle
and
and
a
wider
pathway,
but
also
it's
just
going
to
mean
slow
down.
G
Q
I
just
follow
up
on
that
a
little
bit.
Mike
I
did
some
research
when
we
were
talking
about
the
one
way
into
way,
and
there
was
a
very
fascinating
article
in
hanging.
I'm
not
gonna,
be
able
to
remember
the
city,
because
my
memory
is
good,
but
it's
short
and
they
did
a
study
on
crime
in
two-way
streets
versus
one-way
streets
and
the
crime
actually
decreased
when
they
turned
the
one-way
streets
into
two-way
streets.
Q
And,
if
you
think
about
it,
when
cars
have
to
come
and
go
this
way
and
that
way
and
people
are
looking
and
watching,
it
makes
sense,
and
not
only
did
the
crime
decrease,
but
the
people
who
kept
moving
into
the
properties
took
more
pride
of
ownership
because
more
cars
were
coming
by
and
there
was
just
a
whole
change
in
the
in
the
quality
of
the
neighborhood
and
all
they
did
was
change.
This
one-way
streets
to
two-way
streets
and
I,
and
probably
I,
could
find
that
article
for
you,
but
that
that
fits
with
what
Nancy's
saying.
Q
F
Nancy
I
want
to
touch
on
something
that
you
said
a
couple
minutes
ago
office.
There's
a
lot
of
enthusiasm
and
passion
being
expressed
here,
but
something
that
was
disappointing
to
me
at
the
Shred
is:
where
is
a
commitment
as
far
as
the
downtown
stakeholders,
because
the
idle
forget
the
percentage
but
there
to
me
it
was
a
relatively
low
percentage
of
property
of
property
that
was
rep
at
the
Charette.
That
I
know
that
per
debt
was
thrown
out
at
some
point,
I
think
with
Saturday
morning
and
to
me
it
was
a
disappointingly
low
number.
F
G
Guess
you
know
I
didn't
look
at
it
that
way
and
I
hadn't
heard
that
complaint
I
looked
at
it.
You
know
maybe
I'm
a
glass
half-full
person
I
looked
at
it
and
thought
this
is
great.
We've
got
a
lot
of
people
that
you
know
that
don't
do
business
their
own
property,
downtown
and
they're
here,
I,
don't
really
remember
what
the
percentages
were.
I
know
that
there
were
I
mean
I
can
look
around
and
I
know
a
lot
of
people,
people
that
were
there,
but
I
do
think.
G
I'll
be
honest
with
you,
diplomacy
was
my
Tracy
got
that
I
didn't
get
to
diplomacy
when
that
was
handed
out
in
her
family.
There
I
did
have
some
frustration
myself
in
lining
people
up.
There
were
some
people
that
I
really
thought
should
have
been
there
who
said
I
can't
possibly
close.
My
store
I
can't
possibly
get
help
to
come,
and
there
are
some
people
that
really
can't
there's.
G
You
know
they
are
the
only
staff
person
in
their
store,
but
I
think
there
were
a
lot
of
folks
who,
frankly
didn't
take
this
seriously
enough
and
I
can
understand
why.
That
is
because,
when
I
was
sitting,
probably
in
the
very
chair
you're
in
and
the
Joe
VTech
and
a
couple
other
folks
came
to,
the
you
are
be
saying:
give
us
money
for
a
Charette
I
said
Oh
for
crying
out
loud
or
to
myself
at
least
I
rolled
my
eyes
and
I
thought.
G
Why
do
we
need
another
study
and
I
think
perhaps
there's
a
level
of
fatigue
and
discouragement
that
some
of
the
folks
have
had
that
they
didn't?
You
know
there
may
be
some
people
that
just
didn't
realize
if
this
was
really
catching
fire,
and
this
was
the
thing
to
be
at,
but
we
did
have
a
lot
of
folks.
There
were
being
a
boy
I
don't
want
to.
Let
it
leave
anybody
out,
but
I
know
Scott
from
the
gym.
Was
there
Sarah
Reese?
Was
there
Mary
Redland
was
there?
G
I
B
G
E
B
G
B
K
K
Subsequently,
my
husband,
Tony
and
I,
have
initiated
a
fund
at
the
water,
fountain,
Community
Foundation,
and
also
in
partnership
with
joy
ranch
where
any
child
in
13
County
area
in
northeast
South
Dakota
that
has
been
sexually
abused
whenever
they
go
to
see
the
police
instead
of
walking
out
the
door
and
all
the
attention
being
being
given
to
the
offender.
Now
we
have
an
opportunity
to
give
them
a
referral
card
for
for
equine
experience
at
your
ranch,
and
so
I
called
my
good
friend,
joy,
Nelson
and
I
said.
K
Do
you
think
we
can
do
something
like
this
lutheran
outdoors
and
well?
Joy,
of
course,
did
what
she
always
does
and
she
said.
Well,
you
bet
you,
and
so
that's
what
we're
doing
and
I
just
want
you
to
know
that
that
Senator
sue
Holt
from
Sioux
Falls
is
going
to
be
coming
up
here
and
she's.
Gonna
want
to
speak
to
you
all.
K
She
told
me
that,
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
and
she's
going
to
be
wanting
to
talk
to
you
about
the
significance
that
Watertown
is
going
to
play
in
this
regional
pilot
program,
where
we're
going
to
turn
this
thing
around
in
the
state
of
South
Dakota,
and
let
me
just
shut
up
for
a
minute.
Let
joy
Nelson
talk.
Why.
J
I
just
like
to
let
you
know
that
joy
ranch
is
just
honored
and
privileged
to
be
able
to
be
able
to
facilitate
Jill's
program.
Common
wording,
who
is
the
equine
specialist
at
the
ranch,
is
who
actually
meets
with
the
participants,
and
this
has
been
up
and
running
just
a
short
period
of
time.
Like
the
month
Jo
and
already
we've
had
eight
eight.
J
K
Me
just
say
this:
my
focus
was
on
the
on
the
kids
because,
having
been
in
police
work
for
36
years,
I
know
how
devastating
it
is.
I
mean
a
victim
survivor,
myself.
I
know
the
challenges
personally.
That
one
goes
through
and
I
think
that
if
we
can
take
a
take,
a
stand
on
this
and
turn
this
thing
around,
that
we
can
probably
eliminate
a
lot
of
the
social
issues
that
we
have
nowadays,
where
we're
dealing
with
drug
addictions
and
alcohol
and
and
some
of
those
things.
If
we
would
deal
with
these
on
the
front
side.
K
Just
today,
I
had
an
opportunity
to
speak
with
superintendent,
Leslie
jutting
and,
of
course,
she
being
Leslie
jutting.
She
too
is
going
to
stand
up
and
help
us
in
this
endeavor
as
all
the
preachers
that
I've
spoken
with
they're
very
much
helping
and
we're
talking
to
youth
groups.
Since
myself
telling
this
story
from
the
pulpit
of
the
First
United
Methodist
Church
on
September,
the
21st
2014
I
just
happened
to
know
that
date,
there's
been
46
adults
in
this
community
that
have
come
to
me
one-on-one
at
some
stage
of
the
game.
K
It
said
that
me
too,
this
happened
to
me
vast
majority
of
never
reported
to
the
police,
and
so
it's
very
devastating.
It
takes
a
toll
on
families
and
individuals,
and
so
it's
a
I'm
proud
that
Watertown
has
been
selected
to
kind
of
chair
this
initiative
and
I'm
excited
about
what
we're
going
to
do
here
and
the
good
that
we're
going
to
do
in
this
community
and
a
lot
of
lives
that
we're
gonna
help.
So
it's
exciting
any
questions.
Just.
J
Yesterday,
we
had
kind
of
a
welcome
to
some
of
these
people
out
of
the
ranch
and
kind
of
an
informal
thing
and
Joe
would
put
the
invitation
list
together
and
I
noticed
that
as
these
people
entered
the
arena
and
Carmen
and
I
had
all
the
horses
in
there
for
them
and
and
Joe
spoke
and
Carmen
spoke
and
they
entered.
There
was
a
little
bit
of
fear
and
anxiety
about
what
this
was
all
about
and
by
the
time
it
was
time
to
go
up
to
the
ranch
town
for
dinner.
B
K
Behind
you,
if
there's
anybody,
that's
listening
that
that
needs.
You
know,
maybe
they've
never
come
forward.
Maybe
they've
never
had
that
this
courage
to
confide
in
anybody.
We
have
all
kinds
of
support.
We
have
support
from
the
beacon
Center
from
Lake
area
tech,
Lake
area
tech
has
been
most
gracious
Diane
or
vice
president.
She
chaired
the
initiative
we
had
in
April
President
Carter.
He
is
totally
behind
this.
Like
I,
said
everybody's
on
board,
because
somebody
won't
do.
We
all
will
don't
make
a
difference
so.
B
B
E
P
S
P
E
B
Shelley
and
folks,
if
you
didn't
get
a
chance
to
see
our
work
session
tonight,
I
would
encourage
you
to
tune
in
to
channel
two
or
three,
whichever
one
it's
on,
but
some
great
ones.
Tonight
the
clean
and
green
had
to
recap
the
presentation
of
the
downtown
Charette
and
the
HHH
fund
through
Chief,
Joe,
hope,
healing
and
hoof
prints.
I
thought
it
was
just
amazing
what
what's
going
on
in
town.
So
that
being
said,
we'll
get
started.

a

you
get

Don't.
T
V
You
mayor
Southside,
second,
addition
is
an
area
that's
south
of
highway
212
along
highway
81,
it's
north
of
the
current
John
Deere,
dealership
and
south
of
the
cement
plant.
That's
there
it's
going
to
be
a
repurposing
of
plan
and
it's
gonna
entail
two
lots.
One
of
the
proposed
lots
is
already
scheduled
for
development
very
consistent
with
what
we'd
expect
for
this
area
town.
So,
with
that
this,
this
plat,
we
recommend
approval,
and
this
is
the.
B
B
V
B
V
Right
mayor,
this
is
a
typical
development
agreement
that
the
city
prepares
when
land
is
plaited,
it
identifies
what
improvements
would
be
done
to
facilitate
the
change
in
use
of
the
area
and
also
true
sets
triggers
in
motion
for
developing
roads
and
other
facilities.
So
it's
a
pretty
standard
document.

or
carryover
of
capital
outlay
approach
appropriations
from
the
2015
fiscal
year.
At
this
time,
I
look
for
a
motion
in
a
second
for
discussion
motion
by
Dan,
second
by
Beth
and
she'll.
If
you'll
give
a
little
update
on
that
or
if
there's
any
questions
on
that
I.
S
Can
it's
something
that
comes
before
the
council
every
year?
This
is
something
that
Home
Rule
Charter
allows
the
city
to
do.
They
can
just
do
one
capital
carry
over
rather
than
supplementing
each
and
every
project
during
the
year.
It's
a
little
bit
easier.
Basically
any
project
that
has
not
started
or
has
not
been
completed
in
that
budget
year
or
any
equipment
that
hasn't
been
purchased
or
was
not
delivered
prior
to
the
end
of
2015,
the
department
heads
can
request
to
have
that
carried
over
in
order
to
complete
those
projects.
S
So
that's
what
you
have
and
you
have
the
resolution,
that's
being
asked
to
be
passed
and
then
the
second
document
right
behind
that
is
just
a
version
that
has
all
the
explanations
of
whether
it's
going
to
be
purchased,
whether
it
already
has
been
purchased.
What
the
plan
is
for
those
carryover
dollars
in
2016
and.
B
B
Any
other
questions
hearing
none
all
that
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
motion
carried
number
eleven
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
required
documents
for
the
community
rating
system,
application
to
the
FEMA
Flood
Insurance
Program.
At
this
time,
I'll
look
for
a
motion,
a
second
for
discussion
motion
by
a
bill.
Second,
by
Randy,
go
ahead;
Shane
I.
V
W
We
aren't
rated
right
now,
so
our
citizens
pay
the
highest
rates.
If
you
voluntarily
agree
to
let
FEMA
come
in
and
examine
how
you're
doing
things
you
can
get
points
for
doing
a
good
job
and
get
rated
accordingly.
A
higher
rating
means
lower
flood
insurance
premiums
for
our
citizens.
So
we've
asked
to
be
rated
and
we're
hoping
to
slip
in.
We
are
doing
a
lot
of
things
right
just
the
way
we
do
it
we're
not
doing
anything
different
at
this
point,
we're
just
asking
to
be
rated
and
hopefully
get
a
discount
on
flood
insurance
premiums.
W
W
Turnover
it's
gotten
dropped
and
our
flood
flood
plan
administrator
is
defined
by
ordinance.
It's
the
City
Engineer.
It
used
to
be
the
Planning
and
Zoning
official
and
that
position
was
eliminated.
So
then
you
know
there's
a
time
lag
and
then
the
last
City
Engineer
left
and
things
got
dropped.
And
finally,
when
stable
enough
to
was.
Y
E
B
I,
like
your
point,
Brad
yeah,
there's
no
downside
to
it.
So
I
will,
if
there's
no
more
questions,
although
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
motion
carries
thank
you.
Sarah
number
12
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
contracts
for
9-1-1
services
for
the
following
counties:
dual
grant,
Hamlin
and
Carla
and
Clark
I'm.
Sorry,
at
this
time,
I'll
look
for
a
motion
in
a
second
for
discussion
motion
by
bill.
Second,
by
Brad
and
Scott
you're.
M
Out
thanks
mayor
our
current
contract
for
ninety
one
services
with
the
surrounding
five
counties
that
we
have
is
due
to
expire
at
December
31st
of
this
year.
So
at
this
point,
because
there
is
a
six-month
notice
of
termination
in
the
contract
for
both
both
the
city,
water
tone
and
our
County
Partners,
we're
asking
permission
to
just
pursue
a
new
contract
with
those
county
partners.
So
too
point
in
time.
I
would
come
back
to
you
with
the
contract
and
ask
for
tomato
sign
those.
M
M
That
is
our
intent
to
ask
for
our
County
Partners
to
contribute
100
percent
of
the
911
surcharge
monies
that
they
receive
back
from
Department
of
Revenue.
That
is
an
increase
from
the
ninety
five
percent
that
we're
currently
receiving.
What
that
does
is,
it
does
generate
all
said
and
done
with
Canton
County
included.
It
would
be
about
thirty
thousand
dollars
extra
so
but.
B
M
The
nine
one
funds
are
specifically
allocated
for
911.
They
can't
be
used
for
anything
outside
of
a
911
public
safety
answering
point
unless
there's
some
kind
of
connectivity
to
that
Center,
so
they're
very
specific
on
how
those
dollars
can
be
spent
so
for
the
most
part,
I
think
that
our
county
partners
are
willing
to
do
what
they
need
to
do
to
help
keep
us
as
the
conglomeration
of
counties
and
to
make
that
Center
succeed
in
the
best
way
possible.
M
B
Other
questions
for
Scottie
hearing,
none
I'll,
look
for
current
council
action,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
thanks,
guys,
Thank
You,
Shannon
number
13
consideration
of
amendment
number
1
to
the
contract,
with
HR
Green
incorporated
for
engineering
services
for
the
wastewater
treatment
facility,
trickling
filter,
rehab
project,
increasing
the
contract
amount
by
$8,000
this
time.
I
look
for
a
motion
in
a
second
for
discussion
pushed
by
John,
second
by
Beth
and
Shane.
If
you
want
to
take
this
for
us,
yeah.
V
Thank
you
mayor.
We
last
December,
we
entered
a
contract
with
HR
Green
company
to
do
some
design
work
on
to
trickling
filters
at
needed,
some
updating
and
repair
of
the
columns
and
each
of
those
facilities
had
been
cracking
and
and
leaking
so
that
they
weren't
working
efficiently,
and
so
we
hired
this
engineering
firm
to
help
us
with
design
and
work
and
they've
taken
us
now
through
the
bidding
process.
We
have
a
contractor
ready
to
go
and
what
this
amendment
does
is.
X
B
Exactly
so,
okay,
if
there's
no
more
questions,
I'll
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
number
14
consideration
of
bids
received
for
the
Uptown
alley.
Reconstruction
project
I'll
look
for
a
motion
in
a
second
for
discussion
pushed
by
Randy,
second
by
Mike
and
Shane.
If
you'll
take
that
and
give
us
a
little
idea,
what's
going
on
there.
V
I
lost
track
of
the
deck
another
skein,
sorry,
but
anyway
we
did
take
three
bids
on
May
6
for
construction
of
the
tea
alley
in
the
block
bound
by
Kemp
and
Broadway
maple
and
North
First
Avenue.
So
the
primary
bids
were
to
get
the
alley
itself
improved,
and
then
we
decided
to
piggyback
alternate.
It
was
in
that
project
that
would
improve
the
parking
areas
in
that
vicinity
as
well.
So
and
then,
ultimately,
we
added
one
other
parking
lot
next
to
last
year's
alley
improvement
project
for
some
improvements
as
well.
V
V
Their
bid
was
two
hundred
forty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
ten
dollars.
Seventy
eight
cents,
which
was
approximately
ten
percent
lower
than
our
engineers,
estimate
at
two
seventy
three
and
twenty
eight
dollars
so
good
bid.
It's
all
for
alternates
and
the
base
bid
are
all
within
our
budget
of
$285,000.
So
we
recommend
that
we
go
forward.
Can
you
can
you.
O
V
B
V
V
Up
on
the
screen,
you'll
see
the
primary
area
T
alley
the
alley
that
goes
north
off
of
Kemp
and
then
it
tees
off
between
maple
and
Broadway.
That's
the
primary
focus
is
to
get
those
alleys
repave
with
new
fresh
concrete.
Like
we
have
the
last
couple
alleys,
then
we're
also
going
to
improve
the
major
parking
lot
to
the
north
of
that
we're
going
to
redo
the
island
completely.
V
The
only
thing
that'll
essentially
stay
is
the
trees.
We're
gonna
even
move
the
light
poles
a
little
bit
and
do
some
enhancements
there,
along
with
the
utility
company.
That's
a
good
thing:
we're
going
to
repave
it
with
asphalt.
Paving
then
there's
a
small
public
parking
lot
between
what
is
now
currently
occupied
by
the
lounge
on
the
south
and
the
docks
on
the
north.
That
is
a
concrete
parking
lot
and
we're
going
to
replace
it
with
concrete.
V
We
have
that
in
our
budget
and
that's
we're
going
to
improve
that
you,
as
you
can
tell
there's
a
big
soft
spot
in
the
middle.
That's
in
dire
need
of
repair,
there's
a
parking
lot
here.
That's
over
an
old
building
that
was
filled
in
and
they've
had
some
settlement
over
the
years.
We're
gonna
relay
that
to
get
the
drainage
to
work
properly
and
then
the
other
alley
is
our
parking
lot
next
to
last
year's
alley.
It's
this
one!
V
Next
I,
don't
remember
what
the
businesses
are
on
either
side
I
know:
Sassy's
is
here,
I
think
this
is
the
five
loaves
the
further
membrane,
so
we're
going
to
improve
that
a
lot
as
well,
so
the
city
this
year,
when
we're
complete
with
all
these
all
of
these
will
look
brand-new
and
be
able
to
function
for
many
years
going
forward
and
I
think
not
intentionally
but
I.
Think
it's
a
big
step
towards
what
the
shret
and
all
of
the
downtown
folks
are
striving
for.
T
Q
B
V
One
of
the
things
that'll
come
forward
this
and
what
will
happen
is
Rob,
Banyan
and
I
will
get
together,
we'll
evaluate
how
all
of
our
bids
came
in
on
projects
and
we'll
evaluate
those
budgets
and
maybe
try
to
utilize
some
more
of
those
funds
towards
milling
overlays
in
certain
areas.
Certainly
there's
some
other
spots
that
need
attention
so
we'll
we'll
try
to
utilize
our
funding
wisely
and
and
get
some
more
things
done
with
it.
B
Should
include
all
perfect
any
other
questions
just
this
will
look
really
nice
when
it's
done.
If
there's
no
other
questions,
although
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
all
right
opposed
motion
carried
now,
let's
go
back
to
number
nine
I
thought
the
whole
crowd
would
leave
were
done
now.
Almost
you
know,
number
nine
Stoney
Point
development.
B
V
Short
background,
I
think
most
people
know
the
details.
This
project,
initiated
by
submit
all
of
a
preliminary
plan
in
September
of
2014
I,
believe
it
was
or
about
then
and
I,
will
apologize
in
my
memo.
I
did
have
a
parent
date
in
there.
The
last
plan
was
submitted
in
March
of
2016,
not
September,
of
2015
but
anyway.
So
we've
had
many
iterations
of
the
plan
come
forward.
The
developer
has
utilized
or
proposed
many
unique
design
concepts,
many
which
did
not
fit
with
our
normal
Street
criteria.
You
know,
he's
got
narrower
streets,
no
curb
and
gutter.
V
Some
ditches
and
all
those
are
very
unique
concepts
and
so
staff
for
before
my
tenure
and
after
I've
worked
with
the
developer
to
try
to
incorporate
as
many
of
those
design
elements
as
we
can
and
finally
reached
a
point
where
we
were
down
to
talking
about
environmental
issues.
And,
specifically,
you
know:
storm
water
quality
and
retention,
and
we've
heard
a
lot
of
testimony
both
on
the
developers,
half
and
some
of
the
opposition
parties
as
well
and
I,
think
we're
to
a
point
where
we
need
to
start
making
some
decisions
on
where
this
projects
gonna
head.
V
So
we
came
out
of
the
in
in
March
of
2016.
The
Planning
Commission
took
action
and
passed
two
resolutions,
one
that
included
a
channel
as
proposed
by
the
developer
and
a
second
one
that
suggested
that
there's
a
pathway
through
our
process
without
a
channel
as
well,
and
so
the
resultant
was
I
came
up
with
three
alternative
motions
with
regard
to
this
project.
One
would
be
a
complete,
you
know,
vote
the
project
down
and
let
it
start
over,
one
would
be
approved
the
project
test
proposed
and
let
it
go
through.
V
It's
per
the
rest
of
its
permitting
process
and
the
third
one
which
would
account
for
that
action
that
came
out
of
the
Planning
Commission
would
be
to
alter
the
project
somewhat,
to
not
include
a
channel
and
and
do
some
modifications
to
the
grading.
I
guess
unless
there's
specific
questions,
I'll
leave
it
at
that
for
now,
Shane.
B
A
is
a
down
it
shuts
everything
down.
There
will
be
no
action
taking
on
it,
then
the
the
project
would
be
done
unless
they
brought
something
back
to
us
at
a
later
time.
B
allows
the
Platt
to
be
approved,
as
it
is
as
it's
in
front
of
us,
and
C
is
the
one
that
we
you
had
put
in
there
for
that
I
will
at
the
owners
request.
I
have
a
letter
that
he
asked
that
see
you
withdrawn,
so
that
that
is
not
an
option
at
this
particular
time,
so
that
is
out
of
there.
B
T
V
That's
a
very
slippery
question
but
I
think
through
all
of
our
are
working
together
with
the
developer,
his
engineer
and
the
lake
compasscare
Water
District's
engineer,
and
then
we
hired
seh
s
our
own
independent
consultant
I
think
that
we
found
a
lot
of
middle
ground
in
that
and
so
I
would
say.
Essentially,
yes,
we've
we've
answered
most
of
the
concerns
and
covered
most
of
the
ordinances.
There
is
a
little
bit
of
discretion
that
we
can
take
with
regard
to
some
of
those
stormwater
issues,
and
that
was
well
pointed
out
through
that
work
session
prize
process.
V
So
with
that
I
guess
I
would
say.
Essentially,
yes,
there's
always
going
to
be
opposition
to
this
project
and
certain
elements
of
it.
So
it
depends
on
who
you
ask
that
question
but,
in
my
opinion,
I
think
we're
very
close
to
a
project
that
can
be
implemented
without
significant
damage
to
the
environment.
Obviously
anything
that's
touched
by
human
hands
changes
that
environment
and
we
identify
that
very
thoroughly
through
our
process.
F
V
Thank
you
for
asking
that
I
actually
put
together
a
flowchart
is
that
up
on
the
screen?
Okay,
so
we
are
currently
in
the
upper
left
box.
Council
action
may
16
2016
if
it
was
to
be
approved
tonight
to
go
forward
the
developer
and
his
engineer
would
need
to
go
forward
and
get
what's
called
a
404
permit.
That
involves
approvals
from
the
United
States
Corps
of
Engineers,
the
South
Dakota
Department
of
Environment
and
Natural,
Resources
and
I
believe
it
still
includes
the
game,
fish
and
parks
personnel
as
well.
V
So
that
would
be
a
whole
process
of
review
and
permitting
that
those
folks
do
and
I
know
that
that
process
includes
a
30-day
public
notice
period
in
which
that
process
receives
comments,
information
pro
and
con
for
the
project
as
it
would
go
forward,
and
then
they
use
that
information
to
weigh
in
on
their
ultimate
decision
on
the
grant
to
permit
or
not.
So
if
that
permit
is
granted,
then
I
did
have
a
box
in
here.
That
includes
a
final
City,
Council
review
and
action.
V
If
you
so
choose,
if
you
choose
not
to
go
that
route,
that
permit
would
come
or
that
process
would
come
back
to
me
for
issuing
a
or
my
Department
for
issuing
a
grading
permit,
based
on
the
approvals
or
of
the
Corps
of
Engineers
and
and
the
404
process,
then
once
all
the
permits
are
issued,
construction
could
begin
if,
on
box
number
two
at
the
404
permit,
if
that's
declined,
then
it
would
go
back
up
and
in
the
project
or
if
council
action
subsequently
would
decline
going
forward.
It
also
would
in
the
project.
V
What
would
ultimately
I
believe
happen
is
if
that
was
the
course
that
the
project
would
go,
then
eventually
a
new
preliminary
plan
would
be
submitted.
We
would
start
going
through
the
Planning
Commission
and
you
would
see
it
back
here
eventually
again
in
some
other
form,
and
that's
so
so
going
forward.
There's
that's
the
two
paths.
F
V
V
The
DNR
would
be
weighing
in
on
erosion
and
sediment
control
related
issues
and,
quite
frankly,
that's
what
each
of
those
departments
expertise
is
and
I
guess
as
far
as
what
they'll
have
their
own
criteria,
that
they'll
follow
and
also
weigh
in
on
public
input
and
part
of
that
public
input
is
if
we
approve
this
through
our
process
here.
That's
then
they're,
assuming
that
the
community
wants
to
go
through
with
the
project
shayne.
A
V
They
don't
see
that
they
have
a
by
experts,
I'm
you're,
implying
that
it
would
be
the
Corps
and
the
DNR
and
the
game,
fish
and
parks
in
their
eyes.
There
is
not
a
project
to
review
yet
because
their
process
doesn't
start
till
the
full
set
of
plans
and
the
project
is
submitted
to
them
and,
quite
frankly,
our
developer
and
his
engineer
have
a
a
final
preliminary
set
of
plans.
As
far
as
that
goes,
I
mean
they're,
not
ready
for
construction
yet
and
would
be
improved
and
be
submitted
to
those
groups.
V
A
T
B
I
think
if
it
was
approved
tonight-
and
it
went
to
the
Corps
of
engineer
just
as
my
own
personal
opinion,
but
by
dealing
with
the
Planning
Commission
for
two
years
and
through
this
process,
if
it
went
through
the
Corps
and
the
Corps,
came
back
and
said,
they've
done
their
30
days.
Discussion
and
everything
comes
back
and
it's
a
goal.
You
would
be
hard-pressed
as
a
as
a
city
council
to
say
no
at
that
particular
no.
U
Shane,
one
of
the
things
we
haven't
talked
very
much
about
is
the
wetland
situation
and
I
think
for
a
lot
of
people
here
there.
They
are
really
concerned
about
the
conserving
of
the
stuff
out
there
in
the
wetlands.
You
know
you
dig
a
hole
through
there
and
you
know
it
can
be
deeper.
It
can
be
wider
or
whatever,
but
I
think
that's
a
real
concern
for
a
lot
of
people.
V
Well,
I
think
it's
safe
to
say
that
without
a
doubt
there
would
be
impacts,
but
part
of
the
process
and
part
of
the
way
the
rules
and
national
and
state
laws
are
set
up
is
that
there
is
a
way
to
mitigate
wetlands
in
a
process
I'm
not
saying
that
that
they're
necessarily
equal
in
all
aspects,
but
if
they
create
additional
wetlands
and
another
portion
of
this
property
successfully,
they
you
could
argue
that
they've
offset
those
impacts
in
some
fashion.
Now
there's
another
theory
out
there
and
I.
You
know
I
know.
V
Biologists
like
I
can't
sustain
that,
but
you
know
that
potentially
part
of
the
new
channel
could
be
part
of
the
fisheries.
You
know,
but
that's
where
my
knowledge
and
expertise
Falls
a
little
bit
short
on
fully
answering
that
question.
But
certainly
there
are
paths
that
out
there
that
allow
us
to
mitigate
wetlands,
because
unfortunately,
the
wetlands
aren't
always
located
in
areas
that
we
as
humans
can't
stay
away
from
and
I
mean
that
happens
all
over
the
nation.
It's
happening
in
Cottington
County.
It's
happening
on
this
project.
So
for
me
to
thoroughly
answer
that
question.
V
X
V
Theory
that
would
be
what
the
Corps
would
consider,
but
you
know
I
I
think
what
they're
proposing
and
I'm
not
putting
dip
ideas
in
the
developers
mouth
or
answers
in
the
developers
month.
I
I
believe
what
they're
trying
to
do
is
provide
us
a
mitigation
plan
within
that
larger
lot,
one
I'll
go
back
to
a
different
drawing
and
they
can
verify
this,
but
I
believe
that
there's.
Z
B
Z
If
you
look
at
at
the
proposed
channel,
the
proposed
channel
comes
through
where
this
line
is
and
basically
widens
that
that
little
waterway
that's
there
now
and
when
you
widen
that
you
actually
end
up
with
the
same
linear
feet
of
reeds
for
the
fish
to
spawn
in
and
that
type
of
thing.
You
give
a
little
bit
of
a
better
advantage
because
you
dig
deeper
so
that
even
in
a
drought
situation,
the
fish
can
lay
eggs
in
a
drought
or
in
a
wet
wet
type
year.
E
Z
Spilled
over
here
now,
this
is
all
covered
in
trees
and
grass,
and
it
makes
a
just
a
nice
separation
from
the
wetland
to
protect
it.
What
we
proposed
is
this
will
also
be
mitigated,
and
the
Corps
of
Engineers
has
a
pretty
intensive
program
on
how
to
do
that
and
we'll
come
down
into
the
to
this
area
of
our
property
and
actually
add
it
on
now.
If
you
notice,
this
is
a
little
deeper.
Z
We
would
like
to
ask
the
Corps
as
well
to
be
able
to
channel
that
in
so
that
we
actually
create
even
an
even
greater
fishery
or
improve
the
fishery
in
this
whole
area,
because
if
we
can
dig
this
through,
then
the
fish
can
get
back.
You
can
lay
their
eggs
and
do
that
type
of
thing,
so
you
improve
that
plus.
You've
also
mitigated
or
replaced
all
the
wetlands.
So
essentially
your
your
you're
minimizing
any
damage
you
do
to
the
wetland
and
actually
improving
the
fishery.
I
have.
Z
Z
R
Z
R
Z
V
I
will
add
this
for
that
discussion.
We
through
our
process
when
we
were
considering
Park
donations
with
regard
to
this
development.
That
was
a
discussion
that
we
engaged
as
potential
to
take
over
what
is
I,
don't
know:
I
can't
see
what
drawings
up
there,
but
if
I
had
my
screen
up,
it
was
be
that
lot,
one
that
the
larger
wetland
area.
Okay,
it's
called
lot
one
right,
and
so
we
talked
about
getting
control
over
that
lot
as
part
of
the
park.
V
Dedication
possibly
and
then
the
question
arose
that
is,
that
even
possible
or
reasonable
if
it's
already
considered
waters
of
the
state,
and
so
we
ultimately
ended
up
steering
away
from
that
discussion
and
went
for
a
different
option,
but
certainly
I
mean
if,
if
that
would
be
a
way
or
a
mechanism
for
the
city
or
some
other
governmental
body
to
ensure
jurisdiction
over
a
lot
one
into
perpetuity.
I
think
that
that
would
be
one
way
to
eliminate
part
of
that
concern
and
discussion.
V
R
I
will
tell
you
the
one
concern
that
I
have
heard-
probably
the
largest
one.
It
does
deal
with
the
preservation
of
that
area
that,
if
we're
going
to
take
something
away
in
the
creation
of
the
channel
that
the
next
things
could
happen
is
the
balance
of
that
it's
going
to
go
away
or
time.
It's
just
going
to
go
away,
and
there
isn't
and.
R
That's
right,
but
it,
but
that's
for
the
piece
that
you're
cutting
out
and
the
concern
then
becomes
all
right
now
we're
doing
this.
How
can
we
or
can
we
at
all,
find
a
way
to
preserve
that,
because
I
know
a
number
of
the
people
I
talk
to
that?
If,
if
we
said
it's
got
to
be
preserved
under
this
mechanism,
those
people
would
be
fine.
That
I
have
talked
to
honestly.
R
The
Danforth
family
would
be
nice
and
we
would
be
able
to
fish
there.
No
I'm,
not
suggesting
the
city,
but
I
would
hope
that
one
of
the
entities
that
we
are
working
with
that
you
know
if
it
is
the
Corps.
If
it
is
the
GFP
or
something
and
get
it
understanding
that
it
was,
it
was
donated
to
that
whatever
it
is
and
must
remain
in
its
form
and
and
that
I
think
for
me,
I
think
that
would
go
a
long
way
as
well
or.

V
Story
points
second
edition
dedicated
right
away
appear
along
the
south
edge
of
it
and
part
of
the
stony
point.
Third
edition
is
to
see
that
those
roadway
improvements
get
done.
So
if
the
stony
point
third
edition
were
unsuccessful
going
forward,
there
is
some
concern
about
how
that
would
be
ultimately
used
some
day
now.
Currently
there
is
an
easement
that
gives
access
to
the
stony
point.
Second
edition
property,
so
as
long
as
that,
easement
is
intact
and
maintained,
and
all
of
that
there
is
public
access
up
to
there
through
that
easement.
U
Jean
it's
a
little
redundant.
Maybe
talk
about
the
water
quality
again
because
you
said
you
really
kind
of
think
you
have
a
lock
on
that.
But
in
the
respect
remember
when
they
had
their
forum,
then
it
said
that
we
were
going
to
increase
so
much
more
water
going
directly
into
the
lake
and
then
they
start
talking
about
the
phosphorus
level
and
so
on.
How
did
that
get
resolved?
Then?
To
that
you
know,
because
phosphorus
seems
really
kind
of
the
big
deal.
How
did
that.
V
Well,
it
wasn't
an
apples-to-apples
discussion,
we
providing
water
quality
with
new
ponds
and
what
the
respect
perspective
or
point
of
view
wise
was
that
some
of
that
water
wasn't
directly
running
off
into
the
lake
proper.
It
was
seek
sea
soaking
into
the
ground
and
getting
into
the
aquifer,
which
essentially
is
the
water.
That's
in
the
lake,
so
it's
getting
to
the
lake
it
just
wasn't
getting
in
there
by
a
raindrop
falling
on
the
surface
and
flowing
directly
into
the
lake.
V
The
channel
does
change
how
the
water
flows
off
of
land,
but
in
the
water
quality
aspects
of
the
ponds
that
are
being
proposed
to
be
built.
You
essentially
capture
and
treat
the
water
to
a
certain
standard,
and
you
know
there
are
limitations
to
it
somewhat.
It's
not
as
perfect
as
as
the
water
not
getting
there
by
soaking
in
through
the
ground,
but
we're
following
in
the
intent
of
our
BMP
manual
by
providing
those
water
quality
treatment
facilities.
Is
that.
V
Perfect,
probably
not,
but
it's
what
we
do
in
every
other
corner
of
the
community
and
what
respect
was
suggesting
is
that
the
City
Council
and
the
city
proper
elevate
their
level
of
attention
to
that
aspect
of
water
quality
and-
and
quite
frankly,
in
my
opinion,
it
does
somewhat
reach
beyond
what
the
intention
of
our
BMP
manual
is
and
I
mean.
We
could
argue
that
that
the
lake
needs
extra
protection
and
I
think
that
can
be
an
argument
that's
had.
B
V
Okay,
so
currently,
and
and
I
guess,
I'm
not
gonna
again
put
words
in
the
developers
mouth,
but
a
portion
of
this
story.
Point
second
edition
does
flow
into
Stony
Point
third
edition
and
some
of
that
runoff
water
is
intended
to
be
collected
and
treated
through
the
facilities
that
Stony
Point
third
edition
would
construct
and,
in
essence,
would
enhance
the
stormwater
treatment
that
currently
isn't
happening.
V
R
Second
addition
area
and
then,
as
it
comes
down
into
the
Stoney
Point
third,
and
it
shows
pre
development
and
post
development,
and
it
shows
that
whole
eastern
side
for
the
most
part
of
this
development
as
flowing
to
the
east
and
down
into
what
would
be
I,
believe
conda's
land
area,
but
after
development,
it
shows
everything
flowing
Southwest
everything
flowing
then
southwestern
and
into
the
canal,
and
just
like.
How
does
that
happen
when
you've
got
such
large
elevation
differences
there?
How
does
all
of
that
water
get
going
the
opposite
direction?
Are
you
familiar
with
this
document.
X
V
AC
R
AC
R
AC
The
light
blue
on
the
first
one
naturally
goes
to
towards
the
lake
and
towards
the
wetland
the
area
in
green.
As
you
see
what
the
arrows
part
goes
onto
conda's
property,
the
other
part
drains
down
into
what
we
refer
to
as
a
crappie
pond
and
down
at
the
bottom
into
the
pond.
That's
on
Dennis
Arnold's
property,
so
the
green
all
is
contained
within
land.
AC
At
this
point,
once
the
channel
is
built
and
brought
us
and
from
Boston
or
rot
DeYoung
from
asin
engineering,
when
at
a
Planning
Commission
earlier
said,
they
would
build
a
berm
along
that
line
between
conda's
property
so
that
all
the
water
would
funnel
down
and
ultimately
into
the
channel.
So
if
you
see
all
of
the
the
part
that
naturally
went
to
the
lake
before
still
goes
there,
but
now
you've
taken
all
of
that
green
part
and
all
of
that
water
now
funnels
into
the
channel
or
at
the
bottom
directly
to
the
wetlands.
AC
AC
B
B
Z
If
you
look
at
that
circle
there
that
she
has
that
he
has
clear
over
to
the
right,
the
water
would
flow
down
and
then
cross
the
road
into
those
trees
and
then
exit
on
to
the
north
into
the
lake.
That
was
kind
of
the
general
pattern
that
it
had
before.
What
we
would
do
is
take
it
down
and
then
exit
into
the
channel
into
the
West,
the
area
and
the
green
on
the
right
sites.
Z
X
R
Got
another
question
for
you
on
the
you
slide
that
over
just
a
little
bit,
so
you
could
see
more
to
the
right.
Okay,
do
you
see
those
numbers,
a
sediment
number
and
the
phosphorous
number
yes,
looking
at
the
phosphorous
number
does
that
pertain?
Does
that
number
pertain
only
if
the
channel
is
built
or
does
that
pertain
whether
the
development
is
built
in
either
manner
or
not?
That.
AC
R
AC
V
For
clarity
and
I'm
not
trying
to
be
a
devil's
advocate,
I'm
trying
to
be
clear:
that's
based
on
percentage
of
land
where
it
flowed
to
and
from
pre
development
and
post
development.
Now
part
of
that
phosphorus
is
what's
intended
to
be
captured
and
treated
in
the
water
quality
treatment
facilities
that
are
being
proposed
by
the
developer.
So
it's
not
a
hundred
percent
footage.
V
Opinion,
in
my
opinion,
it
may
not
have
I,
don't
know
it
may
may
be,
but
and
then
a
part
of
that
also,
we
just
alluded
to
that
as
if
part
of
that
land
is
draining
in
fact
across
Kondos
and
still
making
it
to
the
lake.
I
would
also
argue
that
a
percentage
of
that
is
already
getting
to
the
lake
today
and
not
so
I'm,
not
saying
that
these
numbers
aren't
correct.
V
What
I'm
saying
is
that
the
perspective
is
that
zero
water
off
that
twenty
acres
that
we're
talking
about
where
a
flue
or
float
before
and
after
some
of
its
making
it
to
Lake
already
I'm,
not
saying
that
it
all
is
but
I
mean,
and
then
it
and
then
in
theory,
our
new
water
quality
is
supposed
to
help.
Help
offset
that
too.
So
it's
all
in
how
you
want
to
depict
the
numbers
and
describes
numbers,
and
so,
like
I
said,
the
numbers
are
probably
correct.
AC
B
F
Concerning
the
phosphorus
now,
obviously
we're
in
dis
we're
not
sure
if
those
numbers
are
correct
and
we're
just
seeing
one
one
size
presentation
here:
it's
my
understanding
that
of
last
year
the
efforts
of
the
Upper
Big
Sur
River
watershed
project
removed
somewhere
between
10
to
12
pounds
of
phosphorus
from
the
lake.
So
if
these
numbers
are
at
all
accurate,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
we're
totally
offsetting
what
they've
been
accomplishing
their
phosphorous
removal
plan.
We.
AC
We
know
that
phosphorous
is
very
expensive
to
remove
from
like
camp
ESCO.
That's
why
we're
experimenting
with
the
water
treatment
plant.
There
are
only
a
couple
of
ways
to
get
phosphorous
back
out
of
a
lake
and
you
can
either
dredge
it
out
because
it's
in
the
soil
or
you
can
get
it
when
it's
attached
to
algae
and
in
the
case
with
the
treatment
plant,
we're
trying
to
grow
algae.
So
we
can
determine
whether
or
not
we
can
scale
that
up
to
a
higher
level
we're
spending
millions
of
dollars
north
of
the
lake.
AC
We
have
to
attempt
to
reduce
the
phosphorus
loading
coming
in
from
all
of
the
the
operations
the
agricultural
operations
north.
So
so
that
has
been
our
primary
focus,
not
only
as
a
lake
district,
but
as
a
city
over
the
last
20-some
years
is
to
prevent
new
phosphorus
from
coming
into
the
lake,
where
it's
possible
for.
B
R
R
I've
taken
the
liberty
of
going
through
a
lot
of
different
reports
as
it
relates
to
Lake,
Camp
Eska
and
the
upper
Sioux
River
watershed
area
and
because,
as
I've
tried
to
work
through
this
process,
I've
tried
to
quantify
some
of
this
a
little
bit.
You
know
I
said
that
the
top
number,
the
sediment
number,
for
example
up.
There
says
that
that
there
will
be
2.2
or
2200
pounds,
something
like
that,
a
sediment
which
is
like
an
1800
pound
increase
and
so
in
my
mind,
I
asked
respect.
R
R
So
from
my
perspective,
I'm
trying
to
correlate
this
one
ton
to
something,
and
it
seems
yes,
it's
it's.
It
is
in
effect
on
the
lake,
but
it
is
insignificant
when
you
talk
about
the
real
problem
as
I
read
through
this
document,
there's
only
one
place
in
this
whole
document
that
references
the
lake
itself
is
the
problem,
and
that
is
where
it
references
the
shoreline.
R
Otherwise,
a
hundred
percent
of
the
almost
on
a
percent
of
the
information-
that's
in
there
deals
with
where
the
problem
is
coming
from,
and
that
is
the
big
Sioux
River
at
the
inlet
outlet.
So
then
I
read
this
diagnostic
feasibility
study
that
was
done
in
1994
and
it
talks
about
the
quality
of
the
water
itself
that
comes
in
and
there
are
in
they
talked
about
in
this
document.
It
was
done
by
Ken
Madison,
a
natural
resource
scientist,
so
I'm
not
sure
he's
from
the
DNR
I
believe
is
he
here
bless
you
Oh?
R
Was
there
this
your
reports
very
well
done?
I
might
add,
but
anyway
it
references
the
sourcing
of
the
nitrogen
and
the
phosphorus,
and
you
know
like
it
says
that
it
could
be
seen
that
flows
into
the
lake
from
the
biggest
river
are
adding
large
loads
of
total
phosphorus
sources
of
the
of
nitrogen
include
animal
waste.
R
It
goes
on
and
on
about
that
says,
since
much
of
the
land
is
crop
they're
talking
about
the
Upper
Big
Sioux
River
fertilizer
runoff
from
recently
planted
crops
is
probably
the
the
main
source
it
just
continually
goes
through
here
in
references.
The
upper
Big
Sioux
as
the
source
of
the
nutrients,
the
primary
source
of
nutrients
and
and
as
Brad
mentioned,
the
sediment,
holds
a
fair
amount
of
the
the
the
phosphorus
was
up.
R
You
know,
I,
don't
know
what
that
bottom
number
means
to
me
in
regards
to
what
its
impact
on
the
lake
is.
I
can't
tell
you
that
there's
not
a
person
up
here
that
I've
talked
to
has
any
idea
what
that
means,
and
so,
as
was
mentioned
earlier,
as
Don
mentioned,
then
my
way
of
getting
that
information
I'll
be
honest
with
you,
I
can't
get
it
from
respect.
I've
already
asked
they
can't
give
it
to
me.
I
haven't
asked
awesome,
but
well,
if
I
do
I'll
go,
get
the
same
type
of
of.
R
Opposite
bits
of
information
or
disagreeing
bits
of
information,
so
the
only
place
I
can
go
to
get
that
information
is
to
the
people
that
are
controlling
or
should
have
control
and
have
should
have
sincere
responsibility
for
this
lake,
and
that
is
the
Corps
of
Engineers,
the
DNR
and
the
GFP
I.
Don't
know
what
impact
is
going
to
be.
I've
asked
people
what
the
impact
of
the
the
channel
is
going
to
be.
R
Nobody
can
tell
me
what
that
impact
is.
Use
of.
The
word
may
well.
That
may
doesn't
really
help
mr.
Drake
it
may
not.
So
you
know,
and
as
he
is
stated
tonight,
it
actually
benefits
his
actually
benefits.
Well,
I
can't
discern
that.
So
there's
a
lot
of
information
I
would
recommend-
and
it's
probably
going
to
be
too
late
for
many
of
you,
but
to
get
these
reports
in
the
read
them
yeah.
It's
really
good
to
read
at
night
it'll
keep
you
up,
but
there
is
a
lot
of
good
information
in
here.
F
Just
a
comment
about
those
mic
and
I'm
not
arguing
with
what
you
what
you've
done
there
but
you're.
Also
using
reports
almost
2002
and
Cannes
was
back
in
1994
I
mean
the
upper
Big
Sioux.
There's
been
million
dollars
poured
into
that
that
the
quality
of
the
water
coming
down
from
the
Upper
Big
Sioux
is
totally
different
than
what
it
was
back.
When
those
reports
were
put
together,
I
mean
III
I.
R
R
AC
I'm,
one
of
the
other
things
I
do
as
I
serve
as
chairman
of
the
South
Dakota
Board
of
Water
&
Natural
Resources.
We
provide
funding
for
the
cleanup
projects
like
the
Upper
Big
Sioux
project.
The
EPA
gives
each
state
a
certain
amount
of
money.
All
of
those
reports
you
talk
about
are
the
reason
that
we're
spending
money,
South
Dakota,
has
a
huge
problem
and,
and
the
amount
of
money
that
it
takes
to
deal
with.
It
is
significant.
R
AC
AC
Setting
the
bar
that
we
don't
want
the
channel,
they
can
still
do
a
development
on
their
property
and
they're,
going
to
discharge
water
from
that
property
on
into
the
lake
and
we're
not
gonna
we're
not
fighting
that
we're
fighting
the
channel,
because
we
think
the
channel
is
going
to
have
a
significant
impact
beyond
what
is
being
portrayed.
And
so
they
can.
They
can
develop
the
land
as
they
want
without
a
channel
that
new
channel
is
an
unnatural
new
cut
into
Lake,
Camp
Aska
and
we're
trying
to
eliminate
those
types
of
things
right.
R
AC
Given
you
the
best
information
through
respect,
that's
out
there,
the
developers
has
not
given
you
any
information
as
to
that
we've
we've
tried
to
develop
what
we
can
so
you've
got
something
to
to
go
on,
but
it
becomes
more
of
a
policy
issue.
Do
you
want
to
create
a
new
channel
in
Lake,
Camp,
Eska
I?
Think
the
vast
majority
of
the
people
in
this
room
would
say
they
don't
want
it
and
you
know
so
we're
asking
you
simply
mm.
Do
you
want
a
new
channel
or
don't
you
that's
your
decision.
R
AC
AC
R
R
AC
Out
because
require
them
to
do
an
impact
analysis
of
what
they're
doing
you
haven't
done,
that
the
only
information
that
you've
got
is
from
the
lake
compassed
water
district
and
their
engineers,
because
you
have
not
chosen
to
ask
them
to
do
it
because
you're
treating
this
just
like
any
other
development
in
water
tone,
Lake
Camp
Eska,
is
not
just
any
other.
Development
in
water
tone
are.
V
AC
Was
on
the
City
Council
when
we
required
them
to
do
that
and
then
Steve
hornings
development,
the
CAC
addition
they
were
proposing
to
do
that
and
so
the
city,
because
there
was
a
large
area
that
was
going
to
drain
through
there
as
well.
The
city
required
Steve
Horning
to
fund
a
large
study
what
she
was
later
reimbursed,
some
of
the
cost
for
and
but
we
made
him
do
that
because
we
were
concerned
about
the
overall
impacts
on
that
area.
AC
R
I'm
gonna
ask
you
one
last
question
and
if
we
were
and
I'm
asking
the
questions
to
learn
here,
because
obviously
we're
not
getting
what
we
need
as
a
group
to
make
the
best
educated
decision.
So
here's
my
question.
If
we
were
to
if
the
developer
was
to
go
out
and
have
any
impact
study
done,
and
we
agreed
upon
the
firm
doing
that.
E
R
AC
B
Certainly
would
like
you
to
go
that
direction.
Yeah
Mike!
That
was
kind
of
our
ask
when
we
went
to
the
the
third
engineering
firm
that
that
we
would
agree
to
seh
was
you
know
whatever
they
came
up
with,
and
we
would
expect
that
the
board
would
have
would
looked
at
that
sch
also,
but
it
didn't
work
out
that
way
and.
R
And
that's
where
I'm
coming
from
on
is
that
if
we
go
out
and
if
we
require
him
to
have
an
impact
study
done
and
in
no
way
shape
or
form
it's
going
to
be
agreed
to,
then
we're
wasting
our
time.
We
might
as
well
push
it
up
the
hill
to
the
people
that
actually
can
make
a
decision
on
it,
because
if
all
we're
going
to
do
is
have
an
impact
study
done
and
it's
not
done
no
matter
what
it
is
isn't
going
to
be
agreeable.
R
P
Do
you
want
to
call
it
unreal
a
do
it.
One
thing
that
struck
me
is:
there's
there's
currently
a
channel
out
there.
What
impact
is
that
had
because
nobody
comments
on
that
says?
Well,
this
was
the
worst
thing
that
ever
happened
to
the
lake
and
which
is
what
we're
saying
this
is
what's
the
difference.
AC
AC
P
AC
O
A
Do
oh,
and
by
the
way
we
going
forward
once
if
it
passes
and
the
construction
takes
forward
and
the
channels
dug
who's
to
say
or
what
happens
going
forward?
Well,
there
are
the
same
entities
in
my
impression
are
the
ones
that
would
enforce
that
everything
gets
completed
properties
out
of
that
a
fair
statement
and
they're
not
in
the
room,
I
think.
B
AC
Ideas
well,
the
one
on
Pelican
was
the
larger
watershed
than
what
they
would
be
looking
at.
You
know,
I
think
that
that
cost
about
100
and
dollars,
but
that
was
a
bigger
area
because
in
that
particular
case,
their
building
development
at
the
bottom
of
hill.
So
we
had
to
understand
what
all
the
water
was
potentially
upstream,
that
was
coming
down
and
how
they
were
going
to
size
things
down
below
in
order
to
handle
that,
but
that
was
I
mean
I
was
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
roughly
yeah.
B
B
B
E
P
N
AD
AD
I'm
from
Aberdeen
I
represent
Bob
Drake
and
his
partner,
basically
Don
in
response
to
your
question.
I
think
what
I
would
say
is
that
your
ordinances
aren't
detailed
enough
from
the
standpoint
of
environmental
measurements,
quality,
water,
quality
or
or
any
any
other
environmental
measurements
to
allow
you
to
make
a
decision
on
those
issues.
Those
issues
are
forced
someone
else
after
this
body
meets
the
law
in
South.
AD
AD
If
someone
else
has
that
expertise
and
that's
why
I
really
think
that
as
Shane
indicated
and
as
you
know,
seh
indicated,
we've
met
all
the
requirements
of
your
ordinance
and
under
statute
and
under
state
law,
we're
entitled
to
the
to
the
approval
and
and
the
issue
of
whether
or
not
there's
that
environmental
impact
is
for
a
body
after
this
body
approves
the
project.
If
this
body
doesn't
approve
it,
it
won't
ever
get
addressed.
But
if
the
body
does
approve
it,
then
it's
for
groups
that
have
the
expertise.
AD
A
A
What
are
these
statistics?
So?
What's
the
possibility
of
being
able
to
recreate
it
such
that
you
are
at
least
even
to
where
you
were,
or
it's
impossible,
those
types
of
general
questions
we
can't
get
answered,
I
wouldn't
even
be
looking
for
specific
statistics.
It's
just
that
is
that
acceptable.
Is
that
generally
acceptable
we're
not
getting
those
answers?
John.
AE
B
AB
AD
That's
what
the
case
says
that
I
cited
to
the
council,
and
that
is
that
when
we've
met
all
the
requirements
of
the
ordinance
which
I
think
we
have
according
to
the
engineers
and
yes,
the
decision
is
ministerial,
there
isn't
any
discretion
in
the
council
to
wade
into
the
environmental
issues.
That's
for
a
different,
but.
AD
Y
That
should
only
take
a
minute
Ken
Madison
I
formerly
worked
for
the
South
Dakota
Department
of
Environment
Natural
Resources
I
wrote
the
report,
did
you
refer
to
you?
Mike
I,
believe
that
everything
in
that
report
is
about
as
accurate
today
as
it
was
when
it
was
written.
Basically,
the
lake
is
overloaded
with
sediment
and
nutrients
which
results
in
algae
blooms.
In
the
lake
we
have
sediment
turnover,
which
makes
the
lake
less
clear,
and
one
big
one
big
concern
is
the
algae
blooms.

There's
you'll
take
actually
a
three
actions
on
either
path:
each
approving
a
resolution
approving
one
of
the
plats
of
each
piece.
That's
where
I
was
trying
to
explain
it,
so
there's
a
plat
that
crosses
a
lot
on
by
monger
in
second
Hills
us
Prairie,
Hill.
Second,
addition
there's
a
plat
that
crosses
a
lot
a
of
Prairie

second

and
a
plat
that
includes
all
of
the
streets

on
how
many

you're
gonna
have
to
weigh
stops
on
there:
you're
gonna
get
rid
of

I
think
the
lights
on,
probably
maple

or
not
Mable

First

I
go

A
little
bit
about
the

we
met
again
and
they
talked
about
the
good
things
that
they
saw
and
these
two
footed
Garretson
and
maybe
not
so
good
at
things
that
ended
up
taking
a
whole
hour.
So
our
next
meeting
will
talk
about
the
Brookings
gun
range
and
what
we
saw
there
so
I
think
everybody's
just
really
excited
about
the
potential
of
that
gun
range
coming.
P
U

R

Get
just
in
the
long-term
planning,
though,
I've
had
a
a
couple
of
comments
that
there's
a
lot
of
kids
involved
through
4-h
and
stuff
and
Archery's
fairly
big
things.
So
don't
just
space
that
completely
off
keep
that
somewhere
on
the
radar,
if
nothing
more
than
a
planning
that
that
could
be
expanded
or
something
it
seems
like.
It
would
be
appropriate
to
be
part
of
the
same
type
of
facility
to
me.
But.
R
Ok,
I
want
to
go
back
to
old
business.
I
can
Shane
Rob
I,
don't
know
which
one
but
I've
gotten
a
couple
of
calls
in
an
email
in
regards
to
the
boulevards
on
the
work
that
was
done
up
on

19th
about
the
as
spring
has
now
come
about
what
it
looks
like
with
big
rocks
that
were
in
the
dirt.
The
same
stuff
we've
heard
in
the
past,
where
it's
very
some
of
the
stuff's
very
sparse
in
regards
to
the
seeding,
that's
there
and
a
lot
of
weeds.
R
V
Got
that
Mike,
we've
actually
been
staff
and
I
have
been
working
on
receiving
those
complaints
as
well,
and
we've
been
working
on
a
case
by
case
basis
to
make
sure
that
those
get
resolved,
and
so
we've
actually
been
hiring
the
landscaper
that
helped
complete
that
work
on
that
project.
To
resolve
those
issues,
I
mean
they
range
from
I.
Think
there's
still
a
couple
sprinkler
heads
out
there,
possibly
there's,
rocks
there's
places
where
the
seed
hasn't
taken,
we're
trying
to
address
all
those
issues
and
and
I
don't
we've
had
probably
a
handful
right
now.
W
I'm
just
saying,
if
you're
getting
calls
have
them
call
me
I'm,
dealing
with
each
one
on
a
individual
basis
and
I
have
walked
it
I've
inspected
it.
What
I've
seen
is
most
of
it's
normal
for
a
construction
project
is
different
than
it
was
before
construction.
It
isn't
mature
lawn
anymore,
but
it
isn't
for
the
most
part,
bad.
There
were
a
couple
spots
that
did
have
larger
rocks
and
we're
addressing
that.
But
if
you're
getting
complaints,
send
them
to
me
and
I'll
take
care
of
it.
Yeah.
V
B
V
Do
have
one
an
old
business
item
to
ask
if,
if
you
give
me
just
a
second,
we
mentioned
this
before
McLaughlin
and
Schultz
is
being
purchased
by
dunnock
Brothers
and
the
attorney
and
I
have
worked
out
a
document
that
transfers
responsibilities
from
one
company
to
the
new
company
and
I.
Don't
know
if,
because
we've
asked
the
mayor
or
given
the
mayor,
responsibility
of
signing
those
contracts.
V
B
B
There
was
a
letter
sent
out
by
the
lottery
commission
to
all
lottery
holders
in
South
Dakota.
It
wasn't
by
any
of
us
per
se.
It
was,
it
was
literally
sent
out
by
the
lottery
commission.
We've
talked
about.
You
know
the
smokers
out
there
and
things
like
that.
We're
gonna
start
cracking
down
and
what
are
you
hearing
at
your
sign.
M
Basically,
you
know
over
the
course
of
the
last
couple
years
we
haven't
had
very
many
complaints
of
smoking
in
those
types
of
facilities,
and
we
also
haven't
had
very
many
violations.
We
do
conduct
what
we
call
bar
walkthroughs
or
establish
them
and
walkthroughs,
and
during
those
boxers
we
haven't,
came
across
very
many
issues
or
violations.
So
at
this
point
in
time
we
do
inspect
those
facilities
or
those
establishments
based
on
complaint,
as
well
as
on
our
own
initiative,
which
is
to
do
the
walkthrough,
so
I
think
we
were
keeping
a
pretty
good
eye
on
it.
M
E
B
Else
you
guys
want
to
bring
up
appreciate
it,
so
we
went
through
new
business
liaison
member
reports
executive
session
I
do
need
to
go
into
executive
session
tonight,
there's
probably
about
another
hours
worth
of
stuff
that
we
got
to
deal
with.
So
at
this
time,
I'll
look
for
a
motion.
What
this
is
for
contract
negotiations.
