A
All
right
well
good
evening,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
and
welcome
to
the
Tuesday
August
9th
City
Council
meeting.
We
are
going
to
be
looking
at
budget
time.
We
have
a
great
audience
out
here
tonight:
they're
all
thrilled
with
a
vibe
being
here.
So
at
this
time,
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
we'll
do
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
C
B
A
At
this
time,
I'll
look
for
a
motion,
a
second
to
approve
the
agenda
motion
by
Bruce.
Second,
by
Randy
any
questions
hearing,
none
I'll,
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
number
two
presentation,
review
and
public
input
on
the
mayor's
proposed
2016
city
budget
and
Shelley
I'm
gonna
just
turn
this
ship
over
you
at
this
time.
B
B
The
proposed
budget
book
is
on
the
city
website.
We
also
have
a
counter
copy
and
we
always
have
an
extra
copy
if
anybody
from
the
public
would
ever
want
to
come
in
and
view
it
the
layout
of
the
book.
The
first
part
is
just
a
quick
letter,
really
high-level
overview
of
the
2017
budget
in
the
process
that
we
had
gone
through
so
far.
The
second
part
is
the
revenue
section
and
that
basically
shows
a
summary
of
the
expenditures
and
then
a
detail
revenue
for
each
fund.
B
It's
the
only
place
you're
going
to
find
that
the
third
part
of
the
budget
is
what
we
call
the
word
pages
and
then
the
detailed
expenditures
it
is
not
in
fund
form.
It
is
in
the
order
of
what
the
departments
are
going
to
come
and
present.
Last
year
we
had
a
few
I,
won't
say
complaints,
but
you
know
the
jumping
back
and
forth
in
the
book
so
this
year
we're
going
to
try
something
different
you'll
have
to.
B
Let
me
know
if
you
like
it,
don't
like
it
so
now
you
can
just
turn
the
page
and
it's
in
the
order
that
the
presentation
is
going
to
happen.
Okay,
moving
some
housekeeping
points,
we
will
be
done
at
9:30,
whether
you're
ready
to
be
done
or
not.
We
have
another
long
night
tomorrow,
night
and
the
longer
these
goals,
kind
of
the
less
effective
they
seem
to
be
or
productive.
Maybe
I
should
say
so
we're
going
to
try
to
get
out
of
here
at
9:30.
B
Each
department
is
going
to
come
up
and
spend
about
five
minutes
going
over
there,
2017
budget
requests
and
then
they're
going
to
kind
of
let
you
know
how
those
requests
help
them
accomplish
their
short
and
long
term
goals.
Those
goals
are
listed
on
the
word
pages.
If
you've
looked
those
over
I
want
to
make
sure
that
any
questions
and
concerns
you
guys
have
get
addressed.
So
if
you
have
questions
prepared,
please
listen
to
everybody's
questions.
Listen
to
the
answers
that
we
don't
double
up.
B
Also,
let
the
department
head
spin
their
presentation
before
we
start
the
questioning
to
kind
of
keep
things
from
from
getting
derailed,
so
to
speak.
Also,
if
there's
anybody
from
the
audience
who
wants
to
get
up
and
say
anything,
ask
any
questions.
This
is
a
public
meeting
welcome
to
participate.
Also,
please
keep
the
questions
to
the
2017
budget
year,
we'll
go
through
the
long
term.
Cip
that'll
be
August
22nd,
so
right
now
we're
just
really
focusing
on
next
year's
budget
cycle.
So,
as
anybody
have
any
questions,
I
need
that
information.
B
B
I
want
to
have
Megan
from
the
chamber
come
up
first,
she
has
another
engagement
at
6:30,
so
we're
gonna
try
to
get
her
in
and
out
of
here,
so
she
can
make
her
her
next
appointment,
mm-hmm
and
then
I
will
turn
the
floor
over
to
her
and
she
can
do
her
her
presentation
and
then
any
questions
that
you
guys
have.
You
can
ask
at
that
time.
D
Perfect
well
good
evening,
I'm
glad
I'm
the
show
starter
and
not
at
the
end
tomorrow
when
everybody
has
that
dazed
and
drained
look.
So
we
are
excited
where
the
chamber
of
commerce
is
at
currently
where
we
are
headed.
I
can
report
today
that
we
are
at
an
all
time,
membership
high
in
our
history.
We
are
signing
up
anywhere
from
six
to
twelve
new
members
every
month,
which
is
fantastic,
that's
good
for
our
organization
but,
more
importantly,
it's
good
for
our
community
as
a
whole.
D
D
We'll
just
jump
right
into
the
line
items
that
pertain
to
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
traditionally
back
in
2013,
a
little
history
it
used
to
be
divided.
Are
the
subsidy
used
to
be
divided
out
into
these
different
areas?
How
that
works?
Is
we
place
an
ad?
We
keep
a
copy
of
the
ad
and
would
build
a
city
back
for
it.
D
Christmas
decorations
I
think
we
were
taking
the
word
Christmas
off
of
that
just
to
be
more
specific
to
decorations,
ie
banners
specifically
repair
and/or,
possibly
looking
at
some
new
banners,
the
mayor's
ad
campaign.
Those
are
the
dollars
that
are
allocated
to
things
like
the
holiday
promotion
shop,
local
campaign,
welcoming
neighboring
communities,
some
of
that
60
mile
radius
that
we
like
to
target
during
during
the
holiday
season,
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
line-item,
which
is
here
that
$40,000
that
goes
into
promoting
those
other
projects.
D
Watertown
marketing,
making
sure
that
that
we're
on
the
map
making
sure
we
look
like
a
progressive
community
doing
things
to
promote
things
like
the
downtown
right
now,
that's
a
buzz,
putting
some
dollars
into
those
types
of
bad
campaigns.
So
pretty
straight
forward
from
what
we've
asked
for
requested
in
the
years
past,
a
little
bit
of
an
increase
hoping
with
the
fourth
of
July,
we
do
have
plans
for
a
digital
media,
digital
platform,
creating
an
app
actually
going
to
have
a
customer
service
reporting
system
on
there.
So
folks
are
out.
D
They
have
great
service
at
one
of
our
area,
businesses
or
restaurants.
We
can
get
that
real
time
and
turn
around
and
kick
that
back
out,
and
that
goes
on
the
opposite
side
too.
If
they
have
have
a
gripe
or
maybe
a
concern,
we
can
turn
around
and
get
that
real
time
back
to
business
owners.
To
try
to
create
a
a
wonderful
experience
for
folks,
so
I
think
that's
pretty
pretty
straightforward.
I
would
entertain
any
questions.
C
The
only
question
I
have
is,
as
I've
looked
you
here
in
it
I
don't
fits
a
typo
for
I'm
just
miss
reading
this
constantly.
But
when
I
read
that
the
department
description,
it
says
it's
not
to
be
used
for
staffing
operation
of
such
facility
and
the
promotion
advertising
of
the
city,
but
that's
that
last
part.
The
promotion
and
advertising
at
City
is
what
we're
doing
with
a
lot
of
this
correct
it.
The
description,
yeah
I'm,
talking
about
the
whole
fund
here,
the
whole
area.
B
No
I
it.
The
purpose
of
this
fund
is
to
account
for
the
revenues
and
expenditures
of
the
1%
tax
pursuant
to
codified
law.
The
use
of
the
revenue
is
restricted
for
land
acquisition,
architectural
fees,
construction,
cost
payment
for
Civic,
Center
auditoriums
athletic
facilities,
including
the
maintenance,
staffing
and
operations
of
such
facilities
and
the
promotion
of
the
advertising
of
the
city,
and
that's
mainly
so.
D
Then
it's
probably
one
thing
that
I
should
mention
to
folks
anything.
Everybody
that's
been
on
the
council.
We've
been
through
this
process
before,
but
none
of
these
dollars
that
are
allocated
through
the
chamber
are
used
for
staff
rent,
any
operations
whatsoever.
Everything
that
the
city
says
here
go
and
use.
This
I
can
turn
around
and
show
you
a
radio
ad
or
a
billboard
or
a
newspaper
ad,
and
it
goes
right
back
into
that
so
you're
not
not
paying
any
of
that
operations
overhead
anything.
Those
are
those
funds
are
coming
out
of
our
membership
dues,
I've.
E
D
C
A
F
Got
one
question:
maybe
it's
a
comment
it's
not
on
here,
but
that
that
reserve
balance
as
of
the
end
of
2015
is
something
like
two
hundred
sixty
seven
thousand
as
long
as
I
understand
it.
As
long
as
we
meet
the
criterion
description
that
is
up
to
us
as
far
as
how
we
want
to
use
that
or
if
we
ever
want
to
use
that
reserve
balance
of
that
right.
Shelley.
D
G
D
Out
of
your
hair
yep,
so
the
other
request
that
comes
separate
in
your
budget
book
is
actually
the
ten
thousand
dollar
allocation
that
the
mayor
so
generously
has
helped
us
out
with
over
the
last.
This
will
be
the
fourth
year
going
into
the
fourth
year
of
cooking
on
Camp
Eska
that
ten
thousand
dollars
we
use
strictly
to
put
in
for
the
Kansas
City
barbecue
prize
purse
or
the
money
that
actually
entices
those
teams.
D
If
you
were
at
all
able
to
join
us
at
the
festivities
this
year
we
were
busting
at
the
seams
and
that's
a
fantastic
problem
to
have.
We
are
definitely
on
the
grow
and
it's
a
wonderful
event.
It's
really
become
a
water
town,
signature
event,
and
so
that's
where
that
$10,000
comes
in
and
we're
very
appreciative
of
the
mayor
and
the
council
supporting
us
with
that.
F
G
D
B
H
H
H
We
asked
for
the
272
seven,
which
was
last
year's
allocation
as
well,
and
then
we
had
reserve
funds
of
44
750
that
we'll
be
using,
and
then
the
bit
board
is
going
to
contribute
$17,000
to
the
CVB,
which
we
look
at
that
as
kind
of
a
stipend
or
whatever
you
want
to
say
for
all
the
work
we
do
for
them.
They
look
at
it
on
their
line
items
as
an
advertising
expense.
H
H
We've
got
two
and
a
half
staff
right
now
which,
with
Ashley,
sharing
a
staff
member
from
the
chamber,
and
so
we
plan
to
add
another
20
hours
bringing
on
a
full
timer,
possibly
because
the
chamber
is
also
growing
quite
rapidly
and
and
I
think
that
it's
it's
coming
to
the
time
where
we
kind
of
all
need
our
own
staff
office
expenses.
I
think
that's
a
pretty
close
number
to
where
we
were
last
year.
H
That
includes
we
are
going
to
bring
on
a
CRM
program,
customer
relationship
management,
a
software
program,
and
that
will
also
include
mass
email,
marketing
and
all
of
those
will
be
integrated
into
our
website,
so
that
things
will
there'll
be
a
lot
of
automation.
So
when
somebody
requests
a
visitor
guide
information,
an
email
go
go
out
immediately
to
them
thanking
them
for
their
interest
in
water
tone.
H
It'll
also
be
managed
if
people
want
to
opt
out,
so
we
don't
have
to
constantly
be
going
in
there
manually
I'm
doing
that,
and
then
we
will
have
a
an
all-inclusive
retainer.
So
anything
we
need
to
do
from
emails
to
newsletters
anything.
We
can
have
click
Rea
and
help
us
with
that
and
there's
some
set
up
included
in
that
and
the
rest
of
it
is
more
of
a
like
a
monthly
fee
for
the
email,
marketing
and
things
like
that,
which
90
percent
of
everything
that
we
put
out
that
we
track
is
mobile.
H
H
Another
thing
we
have
all
very
outdated.
Very
old,
non
impressive
tradeshow
supplies,
and
so
I
am
going
to
have
trade
shows
supplies
made
for
the
different
types
of
shows
that
we
have.
That
will
be
really
attractive.
Nice-Looking
backdrops,
maybe
the
floor
to
ceiling
type
stuff.
I
know
John
Siloam
has
been
with
me
at
a
couple
shows,
and
we
talked
about
some
of
the
things
that
would
be
good
to
do.
They
charge
you
an
absolute
fortune
for
tables
and
chairs.
H
I
would
say
we
probably
spend
$1,500
just
for
tables
and
chairs
and
stuff
to
set
everything
on
which,
if
you
do
a
couple
of
shows,
you
can
pretty
quickly
pay
for
some
really
nice
tradeshow
supplies
and
then
we'll
just
have
those
shipped
or
we'll
take
them
along.
The
other
thing
is,
in
regard
to
sports.
H
Did
hear
that
okay,
yep
so
I
think
we
have
you
know,
we've
got
some
ideas
and
Bruce
helped
me
a
little
bit
with
some
ideas
on
the
different
fields
that
are,
you
know
existing
now
so
anyway,
that
is
where
I'm
at.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions,
I
think
we're
heading
in
the
right
direction
with
the
CVB
I
think
we
just
need
to
get
out
there
and
invite
people
to
come
and
visit
us.
No.
I
H
That's
very
tech,
savvy
and
really
can
do
that
in
office,
but
it
needs
to
coordinate
with
our
website
so
that
all
that
information
gets
dumped
back
into
all
the
right
places.
So
we
can
use
that
to
market
to
people
as
well
for
different
purposes.
It's
going
to
be
kind
of.
They
can
turn
on
and
off
kind
of,
like
your
cell
phone,
you
turn
on
what
you
need
to
use,
but
then
you
can
grow
because
there's
other
features
and
options
you
can
grow
into.
So
really
it's.
J
E
H
Well
and
that's
just
a
recommendation
and
I
know:
we've
talked
about
this
before
with
reserve
funds
that
their
tax
dollars,
and
so
we
really
can't
sit
on
them
because
otherwise,
you
know,
if
I
can't
find
a
project
which
I
think
we
have
plenty
of
projects.
We
can
do
that,
then
we
just
go
backwards
and
get
less
and
I.
Don't
think
where
we're
at
right
now,
I
think
the
return
on
investment
for
for
the
visitor
industry
is
way
too
big
to
go
that
direction.
H
H
J
A
You
I
would
like
to
just
mention
quickly
that
Julie
and
I
were
in
Fergus
Falls
on
Friday
and
had
an
opportunity
to
to
visit
with
the
Kiwanis
group
that
is
coming
in
Watertown
next
year
and
they
had
us
kind
of
a
small
contingency
they're.
Maybe
150
200
people
I
would
say,
and
what
we're
understanding
is
that
we're
gonna
be
working
that
towards
close
to
four
or
five
hundred
people.
So
we're
excited
for
that,
and
we
only
had
15
minutes
to
talk
and.
A
H
H
You
know
what
days
it's
available,
what
times
it's
available,
if
there's
a
cost,
and
so
that's
kind
of
how
the
existing
business
we
plan
to
grow,
that
we
just
have
had
a
lot
of
interest
there.
So
I
had
a
group
in
doing
photo
and
video
last
week,
Lawrence
and
Schiller
was
here,
and
they
had
two
guys
along
and
did
some
great
great
stuff
and
every
time
I
entertain
visitors
here
they
I
say
this
is
such
a
great
place.
B
B
B
Unfortunately,
for
2017
the
CPI
is
zero,
and
so
there
was
no
change.
That
is
also
the
CPI
that
we
go
by
to
determine
our
property
tax
levy.
So
that's
why,
when
we
get
to
that
point,
you'll
see
that
our
property
taxes
are
only
going
up
by
growth,
because
there
is
no
CPI
for
2017.
So
that's
why
the
number
remains
the
same.
The
other
one
is
is
the
transfer
out
to
the
park
and
rec.
B
C

B
B
Any
other
questions
on
the
BBB.
Okay,
if
not
we'll
move
on
to
the
next
page,
which
is
a
contribution
to
external
organizations.
There
was
a
three
member
group
that
met
I,
believe
Beth
manty,
Dan,
Albertson,
Glanville
how're.
Each
one
of
these
organizations
came
in
and
did
a
presentation
on
what
the
request
was
and
how
they
were
going
to
utilize
those
funds
within
the
community,
and
then
they
came
back
with
a
set
of
recommendations.
B
The
2017
request
is
what
the
what
they
came
in
and
actually
requested
that
the
organization's
the
mayor's
budget
reflects
for
the
most
part
of
the
recommendation
by
that
three-member
committee
and
I.
Think,
though,
the
couple
changes
to
the
mayor's
proposed
is
there
was
a
decrease
in
the
dive
rescue
of
3,000
and
then
the
Resource
Center
was
an
increase
of
4,000
and
I.
Think
that
was
the
only
two
changes
that
you
made
to
what
the
committee
had
actually
proposed.
It.
E
E
A
Of
the
things
I
might
before
you
go,
it
was
interesting
that
in
all
the
years
past
that
I've
been
you
know
involved
with
those.
The
transit
has
always
come
to
us
early
in
or
like
May
June,
and
a
that
we
know
how
much
we
were
giving
them.
They
did
not
ask
us
that
this
year
they
didn't
need
any
type
of
a
letter,
so
it
is
it's
just
in
the
budget.
I
just
wanted
you
to
understand.
You
know,
because
they
had
asked.
Always
there
that's
early
on
that.
That's.
K
Part
of
that,
because
I
told
him
not
to
ask
for
any
more
I
mean
that
that
that
was
substantial.
You
know
I
would
keep
us
within
our
budget,
so
we
we'd
planned
on
that.
Also
I.
Don't
know
at
that
at
that
time
that
during
that
meeting
they
had
asked
for
the
additional
ten
thousand,
that
I
think
it
was
Mike.
They
recommended
four
buses
for
next
year
that
we
put
that
in
early
I,
see
that's
not
in
here.
A
I
think
why
we,
we
did
not
put
that
in
there
I
think
they
have
to
come
back
anyhow
and
if
we
actually
put
it
in
on
the
budget,
I
felt
as
though
the
feeling
in
would
always
be
well
the
money's
there
it's
gonna
happen,
the
council's
already
approved
it.
I
would
like
to
see
them
come
back
again.
We
can
always
use
our
contingency
funds
for
that
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
at
on
it.
You
guys
I,
don't
know
if
you're
comfortable
with
that
or
not
but
I'm.
A
F
A
comment
as
part
of
it
as
part
of
that
committee
I'm
not
opposed
to
what
we've
got
here
but
I
think
a
defense
of
what
was
presented
to
us.
What
we
do
we
had
effect
directed
them
several
months
ago
to
come
to
us
with
with
one
figure
rather
than
of
an
amount
now
and
then
a
subsequent
request,
so
what
they
were
doing,
what
we
had
directed
them
to
do
that.
B
Okay,
we
will
move
on
the
next
page.
Is
the
police
department
and
Scott
Lee?
Okay,
I
didn't
see
you
back
there
Oh
thought.
Maybe
you
you
had
ditched
us
okay,
so
for
for
Lee.
Well,
we
have
the
police
department,
animal
control
and
911
we'll
take
them
one
at
a
time
and
then
we'll
kind
of
stop
and
ask
questions
and
his
detail
starts
on
the
third
page.
So
if
you
just
want
to
start
and
just
go
through
the
the
police
department
and
then
we'll
we'll
do
questions
yeah,
yeah.
L
All
right
well
good
evening,
everyone
in
for
a
little
bit
of
a
long
night
here,
I
see
but
before
I
started.
I
did
want
to
let
all
of
you
know
that
we
took
our
budget
very
seriously.
This
years
we
have
every
year.
This
is
about
the
fifth
year
I've
been
involved
with
the
budget
for
the
police
department,
I
put
together
a
team
because
I
don't
want
to
do
it
all
by
myself
and
I
think
it
helps
to
have
some
input
from
your
staff,
so
kind
of
Cutler
meant.
L
My
administrative
assistant
helps
a
lot
Tim
to
me.
The
assistant
chief
helps
a
lot
and
also
Scott
McMann,
my
captain
and
he
oversees
a
nine
one
center,
so
he's
integral
in
that
budget
and
Tim
oversees
an
animal
control
line.
So
it's
a
pretty
integral
that
he's
involved
with
that.
So
I
did
have
Scott
here
tonight.
L
If
you
had
any
questions
when
we
get
to
nine
on
one,
but
just
real
quick
going
through
the
the
items
here
on
your
proposed
budget
book
that
first
page
there
that's
39
in
mine,
I
think
that's
probably
what
your
page
would
be
too.
You
can
just
see
through
some
of
the
accomplishments
throughout
the
year
our
service
calls
stayed
about
the
same
tickets,
warning
tickets,
parking
tickets.
There
was
some
fluctuation
there.
L
Drug
arrests,
look
like
they're
gonna,
be
maybe
down
a
little
bit.
However,
we
are
seeing
some
more
serious
drug
arrests
more
than
just
the
marijuana
we're
seeing
more
meth
arrests,
so
those
numbers
may
be
a
little
deceiving
overall.
They
may
be
down
a
little
bit,
but
we
are
seeing
a
few
more
of
the
harder
drugs
coming
through.
So
just
want
to
point
that
out
on
page
40,
you
can
see
the
budget
summary
beginning
with
the
salary
adjustments
and
health
benefits.
L
Those
are
you're,
gonna
see
those
with
all
departments,
so
those
numbers
they're
just
Shelley-
prepares
them
with
her
staff.
The
computer
maintenance
line.
We
were
able
to
drop
that
5,000
for
next
year,
so
we're
gonna
have
a
little
bit
of
a
cost
savings
there,
our
equipment
maintenance.
We
did
ask
for
an
increase
of
twenty
three
hundred
dollars,
because
it's
meeting
its
contracts
we
have
and
some
obligations
we
have
out
there
and
plus
it'll-
leave
us
a
little
bit
for
ongoing
quit
maintenance
that
you
don't
plan
for
it.
L
Just
comes
up
the
mortar
fuel
and
lubricant
line.
You
can
see.
We
decrease
that
5,000
and
that's
thanks
to
our
nice
gas
prices
that
we
hope
hold
for
another
year
or
several
years
for
that
matter,
and
then
in
the
k9
program.
We
also
did
decrease
that
line
just
a
little
bit
to
be
more
in
line
with
what
we
actually
expended
the
last
couple
of
years
and
then
moving
down
to
the
capital
purchases
you
can
see.
L
We
have
asked
to
replace
four
patrol
cars
that
would
be
two
cars
and
two
of
the
SUV's
and
meeting
with
Shelley
in
the
mayor.
They
determined
that
they
would
like
to
see
those
two
SUVs
go
to
other
city
departments,
so
one
of
them
will
be
going
to
engineering
and
one
of
them
will
be
going
to
building
services.
The
other
two
cars
will
remain
with
the
police
department.
We
use
them
as
travel
cars
or
detective
cars.
We
try
to
get
as
many
miles
out
of
them
as
we
can.
L
The
next
one
you'll
see
there's
the
purchase
of
body
cameras.
We
have
applied
for
a
grant
through
the
street,
the
state's
drug
fund
and
when
Marty
Jackley
was
in
town
last
week.
I
did
visit
with
him
on
that
they
are
planning
a
meeting
in
the
next
month
or
two
and
go
through
and
disperse
those
funds.
He
says
he
knows
us
there.
He
knows
it's
a
good
cause.
We've
done
everything
on
our
end.
You
have
to
get
buy-in
from
your
state's
attorney.
L
You
have
to
get
buy-in
from
your
City
Council
and
you
have
to
have
a
policy
prepared
before
they'll
distribute
that
money
so
for
force
enough
to
get
that
that'll
go
back
in
on
the
revenue
side
of
things
for
the
PD
budget,
so
with
Shelley's
recommendation
leave
that
in
there
I
do
think
we
need
those
and
if
the
fund
wouldn't
purchase
them
for
us,
you
know
the
CIP
fund
would
and
so
on.
I
think
it's
an
important
thing
that
we
need
to
have
the
next
line.
There
is
replacing
with
computers
or
printers
Spencer.
L
His
IT
staff
have
been
great
to
work
with
they've
inventoried
and
went
through
all
of
our
computers.
We
know
what
we
have.
They
know
what
we
have
we're
recommending
three
replacements
next
year,
along
with
a
network
printer
that
we
use
for
the
administrative
side
of
the
building
we
all
network
to
it,
and
we
have
one
printer.
Instead
of
ten
at
every
table,
we
have
just
one
that
we
network
and
it's
a
good
quality
printer.
L
We
try
to
get
as
many
years
on
them
as
we
can
and
it's
recommendation
through
the
IT
division
that
we
replaced
that
so
that's
on
there
and
then
the
last
capital
purchase
item
is
purchase
of
farm.
We've
got
one
rifle
that
we
need
to
replace,
and
so
we
have
budgeted
in
the
CIP
for
a
thousand
dollars
for
that
other
net.
Just
the
bottom
of
the
page,
there's
summary
of
personnel
we're
not
looking
to
add
any
employees
this
year,
so
I
guess
with
that.
I
would
open
it
up
to
questions
I.
A
K
L
Ongoing
yearly
costs
after
that's
about
thirteen
thousand
a
year,
and
that
includes
all
storage,
all
maintenance.
If
you
have
a
camera
that
breaks
your
Senate
and
they
send
you
another
one,
it's
it
was
as
high
as
twenty
thousand
one
time.
We've
whittled
them
down
to
thirteen
based
on
our
storage
needs,
and
it's
just
you
don't
have
an
employee
that
has
to
do
any
of
that.
L
It's
just
automatically
download
at
the
end
of
a
shift
and
then
when
you
need
to
send
it
to
the
State
Attorney's
Office,
it's
just
a
click
of
a
couple
buttons
right
now.
We've
got
a
records
person
that
has
to
go
in
and
burn
that
to
a
CD
and
wait
for
it
to
be
done
and
then
send
it
over
across
street.
So
I
think
we're
gonna
save
some
man-hours
to
lay
by
going
with
this
system.
You.
L
For
almost
two
years
now-
and
we
were
pretty
convinced,
though
the
one
we
need,
a
lot
of
departments
are
going
with
it's
a
Taser
axon
and
it
just
looks
to
be
the
way
to
go.
A
lot
of
departments
are
going
that
way.
They're
tried
and
proven,
and
they're
really
quick
turn
on
and
replacing
and
fixing
things
yeah.
F
L
We
have
a
drone
now
Glenn.
So
if
you
want
us
to
fly
over
your
house
and
and
see
what
you're
up
to
we
can
but
yeah,
we
actually
had
an
opportunity
through
a
grant,
basically
that
we
could
get
one
of
those
and
we
did
about
a
month
and
a
half
ago
and
we've
got
a
couple.
Officers
are
kind
of
getting
used
to
how
to
fly
that,
so
we
actually
had
it
flying
above
the
building
during
our
national
I.
Don't
got
some
nice
video
above
there.
C
C
Two:
okay:
yes,
you,
sir,
from
a
you
know,
I
I'm,
starting
to
hear
more
and
more
and
more
from
within
our
community
about
concerns
over
drugs
and
I.
Think
it
certainly
is
more
prominent
today,
at
a
higher
level,
like
you
mentioned,
the
meth,
probably
being
one
of
the
bigger
ones
than
what
it's
been
and
seem
to
continue
to
grow
is
I.
Think
it's
a
great
threat
to
our
community
because
it
creates
other
problems,
whether
that
be
thefts
or
break-ins
or
bikes
or
whatever
it
is,
but
from
a
resource
standpoint.
C
L
I
think
the
biggest
thing
is
manpower,
Mike
and
I
didn't
feel
that
was
necessarily
put
in
for
next
employee
this
year.
My
talk
with
Marty
Jackley
was
here
and
I've
also
talked
with
some
of
the
directors
out
at
the
DCI
or
hoping
that
they
can
fund
another
agent
for
our
area.
That
could
help
us
with
us.
The
one
they
have
in
town
now
spends
a
lot
of
time.
L
North
of
us
in
the
sistent
area,
he's
got
an
area
to
cover,
and
so
we
don't
get
as
much
work
out
of
him
in
Watertown
propers
we'd
like
to
we
have
one
dedicated
full-time
drug
officer
and
detective,
and
then
we've
got
one
that
kind
of
helps
all
part-time,
along
with
all
of
our
officers,
doing
their
daily
duties.
So
the
biggest
thing
I
think
would
be
as
if
we
had
another
off
sir
or
if
we
had
you
know
more
resources.
L
We've
talked
with
the
director
of
the
DCI
about
a
task
force
for
the
area,
and
we
visited
some
other
area:
police
departments,
Madison,
Brookings,
Aberdeen
or
Sisseton
kind
of
try
to
do
like
an
81
corridor,
type
task,
force
and
they're
all
agreeable.
So
we're
kind
of
working
putting
those
things
together
we
may
have
to
if
they
would
put
an
agent
here,
we
may
look
at
giving
them
a
space
in
our
building.
L
A
C
L
Think
too,
is
a
manageable
number
right
now,
Mike
I
mean
they
basically
are
with
them
all
day,
they're
kind
of
a
duty
dog
they're
out
doing
the
patrol
thing.
They're
stopping
vehicles,
they're
making
interdiction
stops
they
get
call-outs.
Sometimes
we
have
a
search
warrant
or
you
know
if
we
have
a
vehicle
coming
through,
that's
possibly
hauling
something
they
come
up.
They
follow
them,
find
the
reason
stop
them
if
they
get
a
headlight
out
tail
out
whatever
they
deploy
the
dog.
L
C
Just
you
know,
I
think
that
not
knowing
what
conversations
you
and
the
mayor
and
your
department
have
had
in
that
regard,
but
I
think
that's
something
that
you
know.
If,
if
it's
resources,
then
we
need
to
know
about
that
and
and
make
sure
that
we
can
put
those
resources
to
that,
because
it's
not
getting
any
better
I.
J
Think
it's
my
an
annual
question
about.
You
know:
I,
look
at
the
number
of
patrol
officers
for
the
last
five
or
six
years
and
it
hasn't
changed,
but
we
know
that
the
environment
that
they're
working
in
the
amount
of
people
in
the
city,
the
drugs
as
Mike
was
saying
and
some
of
those
is
it
enough.
I
mean
I,
don't
want
to
mess
up
your
budgets
and
stuff,
but
I
just
asked.
L
It
every
year,
yes,
I
heard
you
saying-
and
we've
been
fortunate
off
the
last
couple
years,
I'm
going
to
knock
on
one
that
we've
kept
a
pretty
good
force.
We
haven't
been
down
numbers
right
now,
we're
technically
down
too,
but
they're
hired
they're
in
training
they're
close
to
being
out
on
the
street.
So
we
can
keep
our
numbers
pretty
stable.
We
look
pretty
decent,
oh,
we
have
six
per
shift
and
then,
if
you
give
it
a
vacation
or
something
you're
down
to
five,
so
that's
a
pretty
reasonable
number.
L
We've
looked
at
possibly
adding
some
over
the
years,
but
you
know
looking
at
a
year
where
we
wanted
to
keep
expenses
down.
We
were
asked
to
keep
our
budget
down.
So
I
just
didn't
apply
for
any
this
year,
but
you
know
it's
certainly
something
we'll
be
taking
a
look
at
and
through
the
course
of
next
year
into
the
next
year's
budget.
K
N
L
Don't
have
a
good
number
free
on
that
ruse.
I
know
we
lost
one
last
year,
moved
back
to
Minnesota
or
it
was
from
took
his
wife
and
his
new
baby
back
there,
and
then
we
had
one
the
year
before.
So
it's
been
pretty
reasonable.
Prior
to
that
it
was
three
or
four
I
mean
there's
a
couple
years
we
had
three
or
four
and
they're
all
different
reasons.
I
mean
we
document
who
comes
and
who
goes
and
why
they
leave,
and
it's
just
a
varying
amount
of
reasons.
Don't.
K
L
J
L
B
L
L
Now
that
we've
had
him
going
so
it's
been
a
great
service,
I
think
to
the
Watertown
community,
he's
been
able
to
get
involved
with
a
lot
of
different
things
from
just
helping
us
with
some
of
the
storage
issues
with
the
campers
and
the
bolts
and
those
type
of
things
as
a
community
service
officer
and
then
also
animal
control.
You
can
see
the
numbers
Ares
issued.
A
bunch
of
parking
tickets
season
responded.
Some
animal
calls.
We've
had
some
wild
animal
things,
we've
had
dog
bites
education.
L
Ours
is
one
thing
we
want
him
to
concentrate
on
more
next
year.
So
that's
one
of
the
things
we
put
in
for
a
goal
get
out
there
and
try
to
have
some
educational
thing
with
a
youth
and
some
of
the
adults
of
our
community
and
then
the
last
thing
on
that
his
list
there's
just
a
number
of
traps.
He
deploys
a
traps
around
town
to
try
and
catch
skunk
and
badger
and
those
type
of
animals
that
are
nuisance
and
can
be
a
problem
in
the
city
limits.
L
So
that's
kind
of
some
of
the
things
he's
been
up
to
since
the
last
year
on
the
next
page,
43
I
believe
get
these
glasses
back
on.
You
can
see
that
the
only
change
there
really
was
a
salary,
salary
adjustment,
health
benefits
which
you'll
see
across
all
the
departments-
capital
purchases.
We
are
looking
at
a
new
vehicle
for
next
year.
We
want
to
replace
that
van,
which
is
a
little
over
a
hundred
thousand
miles
on
it.
L
Having
a
few
issues,
we've
documented
a
few
issues,
but
vans
are
kind
of
getting
to
be
the
thing
of
the
past
when
it
comes
to
animal
control,
more
and
more
departments
are
going
with
pickups
with
a
box
on
the
back,
so
you
can
keep
yourself
distance
from
the
animal.
That's
not
straight
behind
you
with
the
screen
between
you,
it's
actually
in
the
back
in
a
box,
so
we
did
budget
for
a
a
vehicle
and
in
visiting
with
the
mayor
and
Shelley
during
our
budget
hearings.
L
I
did
they
did
ask
me
to
look
for
a
used
one
when
the
time
comes
and
I
can
look
for
used.
One
I
have
been
kind
of
looking
around
to
see
what's
out
there
and
you
really
don't
get
a
very
good
used
vehicle
for
that
amount
of
money.
So
I
think
we'll
be
looking
next
year
to
see.
What's
out
there.
You
just
never
know
if
you
don't
look,
but
that
price
for
a
new
one
is
pretty
reasonable.
So
we'll
be
looking
for
that.
The
animal
control
storage
compartment,
that's
Lumina
box.
L
That
would
go
on
the
back
of
that
pickup.
It
has
four
boxes
two
on
each
side
and
has
some
storage
for
equipment.
We
did
include
a
lift
which
is
basically
the
side
pulls
out.
Hydraulically
litter
I
think
it's
controlled
by
a
cable
drops
down
the
ground
level,
so
you
can
get
the
animal
in
the
cage
on
there
and
then
you
can
lift
it
up
and
slide
it
inside.
So
we
want
to
do
something.
There's
some
bigger
dogs
we
have
to
deal
with
and
we
didn't
want.
L
A
What
I
actually
do,
if
you
remember
the
car
that
you
have
now
for
Animal
Control,
we're
giving
that
to
the
zoo,
so
they
can
use
that
right,
a
piece
of
equipment
out
there.
Don't
they?
Actually,
you
guys
will
notice
in
the
budget
that
the
zoo
was
requesting
a
new
vehicle.
It
was
just
to
haul
some
minor
stuff
around
and
we
thought
this
was
still
we're
good.
How
that
would
work
very
well.
So
that's
that's!
The
game
plan
we're
giving
them
this
animal
control.
Car
very.
I
L
L
I
think
the
biggest
reason
is
we
had
about
five
snow
events
last
winter
and
it
seems
like
every
time
you
have
a
snow
event:
it's
80
to
100
tickets.
So
if
you
have
a
winter,
where
you
have
those
marginal
snows,
I
mean
people
know
when
it's
8
inches
they're
gonna
get
plowable
and
it's
two
two
and
a
half
some
drifting.
C
L
Okay
and
the
night
went
on
fund
they're
on
page
45,
you'll
just
see
some
of
the
list
of
accomplishments
and
goals
we
have
set
there
for
our
division.
You
can
see
down
below
some
of
our
performance
measures
the
staff
training
hours,
one
of
the
things
that
you
see
a
big
increase
is
Emde
FD,
stuff,
EMD
is
merged.
Key
emergency
medical
dispatch
and
EFD
is
the
emergency
fire
dispatching.
So
we've
been
doing
a
lot
of
testing
on
those
and
make
sure
that
they're
doing
those
correctly
and
so
you'll
see
our
number
four
scores.
L
Number
of
quality
assurance
presentation
is
scored
and
it's
gone
up
quite
considerably
from
2015,
because
we
have
it
known.
We
have
a
software,
so
we
can
more
easily
go
in
and
monitor
some
of
those
things
and
plus
we've
got
two
people
that
can
go
through
and
score
those.
So
it's
kind
of
why
some
of
those
numbers
went
up.
You
can
see
the
amount
of
9-1-1
calls.
L
We
take
we
listed
out
by
county
there
for
you,
so
you
can
see
that
and
then,
of
course,
that
total
down
at
the
bottom
on
the
next
page
46,
you
can
see
the
budget
summary
personnel
services.
You
can
see,
there's
an
adjustment
there
for
the
cost
of
looming
increase
and
we
do
have
a
small
or
a
little
bit
of
increase
there
in
our
maintenance
contracts.
L
Just
we
go
through
every
year.
We
see
what
we've
got
for
me
in
is
contracts
well,
we
need
to
keep
and
we
need
to
increase
that
by
$5,000
to
meet
all
of
our
computer
maintenance
agreements
plus
to
have
some
the
set-aside
if
we
have
issues
throughout
the
year,
so
we
feel
like
that's
a
pretty
comfortable
number
capital
purchases.
You'll
see,
we've
got
a
few
things
there
we're
going
to
try
and
replace
some
computer
monitors
they're
about
six
years
old.
L
Now
they
recommend
that
five
to
six
year
replacement
period,
these
computer
monitors
are
on
24/7,
so
they're
they
get
a
little
more
use
than
just
your
normal
household
one
or
office
complex.
So
they
are
on
24/7
we're
looking
at
replacing
our
batteries
in
our
there's,
a
big
UPS
unit
that
backs
up
our
senator
for
the
power
goes
and
glitches.
It
keeps
everything
up
and
running
until
the
power
can
be
restored
or
the
generator
kicks
in
they've
recommended
we
replace
those
batteries.
This
year
we
held
off
this
year.
We
get
a
report
from
that
machine.
L
It's
a
machine,
that's
basically
a
computer.
It
sends
an
email
to
Scott
and
some
of
the
people
that
monitor
that
equipment
and
tells
them
where
our
batteries
are
at
and
they
said,
we'd
have
no
problem
getting
through
this
year,
but
we
should
budget
for
them
for
next
year.
So
we're
gonna
kind
of
wait
and
do
that
towards
the
end
of
next
year,
but
that's
why
we
budgeted
for
it.
The
next
thing
there
is
the
address
point
layer.
L
If
you
go
with
the
road
center,
I
mean
there's
more
to
this,
I'm
just
making
it
kind
of
simple,
because
that's
how
I
work
simple,
I
if
you
go
with
the
head,
Jeff's
point
layer,
it'll,
put
the
dot
right
on
top
of
the
house
and
if
you're
talking
about
a
duplex
or
a
four-plex,
it
would
put
four
dots
or
two
dots
on
those
houses,
and
you
would
know
exactly
where
you're
going.
So
that's
what
that's
for
that
would
be
through
first
district.
That
would
be
the
entire
county
of
Coddington.
L
We
found
out
quickly
when
the
state
started
doing
their
update
to
the
9-1-1
system,
that
most
cities
are
address.
Point
later,
they're
not
centered
rose
center
line,
while
Watertown
ever
was
or
kind
to
County
I
don't
know,
but
we
think
we
need
to
get
us
up
to
speed
there.
So
that's
why
we've
included
that
in
there
and
then
the
last
item
there
is
just
mounts
for
those
computers,
we're
going
to
add
a
monitor.
That's
why
we've
asked
for
16,
so
we're
going
to
add
a
monitor.
So
we
need
a
quad,
a
four
mount.
L
A
Like
to
if
I
may,
it
is
a
concern
of
ours
as
a
as
a
city
when
you
start
seeing
the
other
financing
sources,
you
know
that's
basically
a
subsidy
from
the
city
that
we
put
in
there.
You
know-
and
it's
gone
from
a
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
out
of
the
city's
funds
to
200
to
300.
Now
we're
looking
at
350
some
of
the
things
we
are
looking
at
and
one
of
the
biggest
concerns
that
I
think
the
e-911
has
is
coming
forward.
A
Is
the
sunset
date
down
the
dollar
25
subsidy
for
on
the
telephones,
so
we
have
had
or
we
are
opening.
In
fact,
I
did
today
had
a
chance
to
visit
with
some
of
our
legislators
and
and
ask
them
to
really
put
that
on
the
front
burner,
because
this
is
going
to
affect
every
piece
app.
That's
out
there
right.
O
L
A
One
of
the
things
also
that
I
think
that
I
know
talking
with
Scott
and
yourself
on
this
is
that
we
need
to
start
opening
up
some
communications
with
counties.
If
we're
not
going
to
have
the
funding
through
the
the
down
a
quarter.
That's
going
to
do
this.
We
need
to
look
at
other
counties
and
say
you
know
what
would.
A
To
have
this
in
your
city,
would
it
cost
you
more
than
75
thousand?
Do
you
need
to
kick
in
a
little
additional,
because
it
is
a
big
cost
for
the
city
to
run
that
911
Center,
so
I
just
wanted
to
bring
you
guys
up
to
speed
what
what
our
plans
are,
what
we're
looking
at
and
in
how
we
can,
because,
when
the
sunset
goes
through
it,
if
it
doesn't
change,
it
goes
down
to
75
cents
rather
than
down
up
quarters,
it
would
be
a
huge
burden.
Is.
L
On
the
city
and
as
you
had
asked,
we
did
reach
out
to
other
cities
and
counties
to
see
how
they're
doing
they're
all
about
the
same
boat
as
us
I
think
we're
probably
better
than
most.
We
visit
with
a
couple
counties
that
were
smaller
than
us:
less
people
and
they're
actually
paying
more
than
that
as
a
subsidy
to
the
center.
L
So
one
of
the
things
I
visit
with
Shelley
on
and
and
them,
and
you
were
in
the
room
when
she
mention
putting
that
extra
fee
mm,
there's
more
to
keep
a
positive
cash
balance
because
by
the
revenue
coming
in,
we
did
increase
all
of
our
contracts.
200%
I
think
we've
got
most
of
them
back.
We've
got
a
couple
that
are
still
coming,
but
we're
gonna
start
getting
a
hundred
percent
of
all
the
counties
participation.
We
started
out:
80
85,
90
95.
Now
we're
asking
for
a
hundred
percent.
We've
got
some
of
those
contracts
back
so.
A
P
A
L
C
Well,
one
of
the
problems
is
even
if
it
stays
that
the
hundred
percent
of
$100
25
today
is
the
actual
total
number
of
cell
phone
users
in
South.
Dakota
is
pretty
flat,
so
people
are
buying
new
phones
as
they
replace
them,
but
that
we're
not
getting
new
users.
You
know
somebody
comes
in
uses,
it
somebody
dies
on
the
other
end.
But
well
that's
true.
So
that's.
C
Unto
itself,
even
if
we
continue
the
dollar
25,
were
we're
in
trouble
because
we're
already
seeing
the
effects
of
that
and
unless
there's
something
that
goes
into
place,
that
either
gives
us
some
kind
of
an
annual
increase.
That's
built
into
that
we're
gonna
struggle,
I.
Think
when
I
first
came
on
the
council,
I
think
we
were
subsidizing
about
160,000,
well
we're
at
350
coming
into
this
next
year,
and
that's
and.
L
I
think
Mike
is
the
cost
of
pay
and
all
those
type
of
things
goes
like
this,
but
that
dollar
25
stays
stagnant.
So
that's
one
things:
we're
gonna
have
to
work
with
federal
legislation
and
I.
Think
most
of
you
probably
know,
but
I
do
sit
on
the
states
and
I
want
task
force
the
committee,
and
so
that's
one
of
things.
We're
studying.
We've
got
an
attorney
on
staff.
L
E
L
L
F
A
I
was
four:
if
I
made
sure
that's
kind
of
what
I
was
just
alluding
to
is
that
we
had
opened
the
discussions
with
Helen
and
I
think
instead
of
going
to
the
hundred
percent,
they
would
like
to
put
in
the
dollar
amount
that
they
can
find
and
just
they
can
budget
for
that.
So
I
think
that's
where
that's
gonna
go
sounds.
L
A
B
O
Thank
you,
everyone,
as
as
shall
we
mentioned.
We
both
have
fire
and
EMS
the
ambulance
and
the
fire
out
of
the
same.
We've
operated
out
of
the
same
building
two
fire
stations,
one
at
the
airport
and
one
right
down
the
road
and
it's
the
same
staff.
We
run
311
man
shifts
as
we
prepare
a
budget.
We
we
split
the
cost
up
between
a
fire
and
ambulance.
Don
Rowland
is
here
tonight
also
in
and
as
with
the
police
department,
he's
a
big
part
of
my
budget
process
and
helping
me
helping
me
through
that.
O
So
with
that,
on
the
on
the
fire
side,
we
run
about
400
fire
calls
a
year.
We
also
provide
fire
prevention
to
the
and
and
fire
response
to
the
city
of
Watertown
nine
townships.
We
also
provide
protection
to
two
villages
adds
up
to
about
350
square
miles,
and
so
that's
that's
what
we
provide
service
and
we
also
have
state
Response,
Teams
and
conjunction
with
the
the
Department
of
Homeland
Security.
O
We
also
provide
assistance
on
out
at
the
Regional
Airport
and,
among
a
few
other
things,
some
of
the
accomplishments
and
things
that
we've
been
working
on
over
the
last
year
is
one
one
of
the
big
things
I'd
like
to
point
out
is:
we
are
we're
in
the
process
working
on
a
burn
tower.
This
will
be
built
out
of
connects
containers.
It
will
be
out
at
the
Regional
Training
Center,
we're
in
the
final
stages
of
that
with
funding
and
things
like
that.
That
is
in
partnership
with
La
Ti.
It's
a
very
neat
concept.
O
It
saves
a
lot
of
money.
Over
the
years
we
were
looking
at
a
commercially
made
burn
tower,
which
is
a
very
expensive
end
and
a
little
bit
out
of
our
reach
without
any
grant
dollars,
or
anything
like
that.
So
working
with
this,
the
funding
we've
had
some
partnerships
with
our
community
as
well,
providing
the
funding
for
that,
so
that
will
hopefully
be
all
proven
and
and
the
funding
and
stuff,
so
we
can
kind
of
start
taking
shape
on
that
later,
this
fall.
O
So
we
we
were
working
on
that
about
the
only
other
thing
that
we've
had
a
really
good.
We've
had
a
lot
of
classes
on
it
to
the
training
center,
helping
to
offset
those
costs
of
maintenance
fees,
and
things
like
that,
working
with
other
city
departments
and
things.
One
thing
probably
we
have
to
work
on
a
little
bit
is
the.
O
Of
the
the
training
center,
with
a
little
bit
of
work
to
do
they're,
hiding
some
of
these
props
in
this
dis
equipment
and
stuff
and
making
sure
everything's
painted
up
cleaned
up,
mold,
looks
nice
and
and
painted
up.
So
that's
that's
some
of
the
things
that
we're
looking
at
working
on
in
the
future.
So
we're
pretty
excited
about
that.
O
The
other
thing
that
we've
started
moving
into
is
the
new
g1
air
packs
we're
taking
a
truck
at
a
time
and
that's
a
new
wireless
air
pack,
along
with
some
some
new
motorola
radios
that
are
Bluetooth
capable
the
nice.
The
nice
thing
about
that
is
the
wires.
Aren't
one
from
your
radio
up
to
your
your
headset
and
as
you're
crawling
through
a
tight
area
in
a
confined
space
or
a
fire.
These
wires
can
catch
up
and
entangle
your
firefighters.
So
we
are.
O
We
are
phasing
out
some
of
our
old
air
packs,
so
we
can
take
full
use
of
the
current
equipment
and,
as
these
are
come
and
go
to
replace
in
a
truck
at
a
time,
so
we'll
have
a
lot
of
the
old
air
packs.
Yet,
on
some
of
the
older
equipment,
I'm
moving
into
the
next
10
years
before
we're
fully
on
to
the
new
gene
ones,
but
they
will
be
on
all
the
new
trucks
and
the
other
thing
we
worked
on
this
year
is
the
apparatus
replacement
plan
in
the
fire
site
and
what
that
is.
O
O
O
The
life
expectancy
of
that
piece
of
equipment
and
kind
of
lay
it
all
out
and
kind
of
see
what
we
really
need
and
what
our
goal
is
to
when
this
piece
of
equipment
moves
into
the
five
year
plan
capital
plan
that
we
are
very
prepared
and
then
know
exactly
what
we
we
want
and
need,
and
as
things
changes
as
a
working
document.
So
it's
it's
kind
of
a
neat
to
need
to
plan
and
it's
really
helped
our
department
make
sure
we
were
always
ready
to
in
research
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
O
The
the
other
portion
of
that
is
the
the
funding
and
that
is
that
can
be
funded
in
different
ways.
There
can
be
a
special
fund
set
up
where
it's
setting
aside
it
can
be
in
a
different
fund
and
that
to
that
portion
of
the
funding
is,
is
really
not
as
important
to
me
as
is
making
charming
very
well
prepared
when
this
piece
of
equipment
comes
down
the
the
way
into
the
five-year
plan
that
we're
we're
ready
and
that's
exactly
what
we
want
and
that's
what
we
need.
O
So
that's
what
we've
been
working
on
and
and
I
think
we've
had
we've
shared
copies
of
that
and
we
that'll
change
from
year,
but
that
we
have,
if
anybody
doesn't
have
a
copy
and
once
it
digitally
or
or
other
the
other
things
that
we're
looking
at
going
into
2017
a
little
bit.
Is
we've
been
working
on
a
grant
with
a
storm,
shelter
and.
G
O
Will
be
out
at
the
Soccer
Complex,
we
have
not
officially
got
the
grant
yet,
but
we
did
get
a
state
approval
and
right
now
it's
sitting
at
the
FEMA
level.
So
we
should
hear
whether
we'll
get
that
very
shortly
and
working
on
that
we're
we're
hopeful.
We
get
that
and
probably
start
planning
on
that
this.
This
late
fall
if
we
do
get
approved
and
with
with
building
probably
in
the
spring.
O
The
other
thing
that,
where
we
started
working
as
smoke
detectors
within
the
community
trying
to
find
partnerships
to
provide
smoke
detectors
where
we
have
a
goal
of
250
smoke
detectors
a
year.
We
there's
some
grant
money
out
there
from
the
state
level,
so
we're
we're
getting
some
of
those
dollars
and
they
also
give
us
a
very
good
reduced
cost
for
additional
smoke
detectors
through
the
state
through
the
company.
They
purchase
them
from
the
neat
thing
about
these
new
smoke
detectors.
They
have
a
10
year
battery
and
you
cannot
take
it
out.
O
So
it's
it's
kind
of
neat
and
you
know
that's
the
biggest
problem
with
the
older
homes
with
the
smoke
detectors.
They
take
the
batteries
out.
So
you
know
this
is
kind
of
nice
and
we
really
have
no
restrictions
if
we
can
get
250
smoke
detectors
up
into
our
community
every
year.
That
would
be
a
positive
and
really
show
some
results,
because,
whether
you
rent
a
property
or
on
it,
you
have
access
to
getting
these
detectors
up.
O
O
O
O
So
that
is
that
one
equipment
maintenance
on
fire,
the
fire
trucks
it
seems
like
with
the
computer
equipment
and
things
like
that.
The
maintenance
of
maintenance
goes
up
at
even
the
local
shops,
with
those
big
trucks,
so
we're
all
constantly
doing
preventative
maintenance
and
trying
to
fight
that
battle,
keeping
those
trucks
ready
to
perform
building
maintenance.
We
increase
that
one
by
3,000.
O
That's
similar
problems
with
some
of
the
some
of
the
generators
in
the
equipment
and
and
on
the
buildings
and
stuff
just
just
keeping
up
as
these
buildings
are
starting
to
be,
and
you
know
that
five
and
six-year-old
range
some
things
that
were
we're
trying
to
do
to
keep
those
costs
in
line.
One
thing
that
we're
we
are
looking
at
is,
as
we
can
afford
it,
some
of
the
LED
lights
that
we
can
put
in
specially
around
the
exterior
of
the
building.
O
We,
we
didn't,
have
a
lot
of
them
bid
in
so
we've
been
as
the
bulbs
burn
out,
we've
been
replacing
them
one
or
two
at
a
time
and
that
the
longevity
of
those
are
gonna
pay
dividends
with
the
electric
cost,
as
well
as
not
changing
the
bulbs.
So
we're
doing
levels
a
few
at
a
time
as
our
budget
can
afford
it.
You
know.
A
I,
if
I
may
break
in
on
that,
I
didn't
realize
you're
doing
that,
you
should
probably
get
a
hold
of
the
other
utilities.
They
will
do
a
they'll.
Take
a
look
at
your
whole
floor
plan
and
show
you
what
the
cost
savings
are,
what
the
rebates
are
that
you
could
get,
and
so,
if
we
did
that
at
the
event
center
and
they
paid
for
themselves,
you
know
interested.
G
A
O
Motor
fuel
and
lubricants
we
did
lower
that
two
thousand
dollars
this
year,
adjusted
that
down
just
because
of
the
cheaper
fuels
and
very
comfortable
with
with
decrease
in
that
amount.
Also,
natural
gas.
We
drop
down
quite
a
bit,
adjusted
that
down
to
actual
cost.
We
have
the
not
unique
thing
about
both
of
our
buildings.
Our
truck
rooms
have
in-floor
heat
and
that
saves
a
sell-out,
ER
dollar.
O
So
when
we
estimated
these
utilities
out,
when
the
building's
first
got
built,
you
know
we
estimate
an
amount
plenty
high
and
and
they're
both
pretty
efficient
building,
so
we're
very
comfortable
with
Lauren
that
electricity.
We
did
also
drop
down
a
little
bit
3000
and
we
didn't
have
an
increase
in
for
monthly
service.
With
with
that
one.
We
have
all
of
our
ambulances
app
data
in
AM,
L
mobile
units
and
things
like
that
cell
phones,
so
we
can
get
a
hold
of
the
hospital.
We
got
three
ways
to
get
a
hold
of
the
hospital.
O
O
O
We've
we've
inventory
to
all
that
and
we
put
a
life
cycle
on
them,
and
so
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
extra
ones
of
this
expensive
equipment
that
we're
not
using
and
make
sure
we
utilize
everything
and
see
what
the
performance
is
and
and
we're
going
by,
the
manufacturers
life
expectancy
on
that
equipment
and
and
see
where
it
goes.
But
we
basically
know
what
all
we
have
and
and
I
think
in
doing
this,
we
we
know
are
some
of
our
our
hose
and
nozzles
is
starting
to
show
its
age.
O
So
we're
we're
kind
of
planning
this
over
the
next
few
years
to
replace
some
of
this
and
I
believe
there'll
be
a
certain
number
of
feet
of
some
of
the
hose
that
we
won't
have
to
replace.
Just
because
our
our
inventory
is
is
up
there
and
it's
probably
a
little
higher
and
it
needs
to
be
willing
to
make
sure
we
can
replace
those
those
trucks
when
they
come
back
from
a
fire
with
dry
clean
hose,
while
the
others
is
drying
and
being
clean.
But
some
of
this
hose
is
about
that
1979
range.
O
O
E
G
A
O
A
O
So,
with
the
with
the
Dakota
Sioux
casino,
both
in
in
fire
fire
and
EMS,
we
can
provide
some
some
additional
services.
As
the
mayor
mentioned,
we
can
do
fire
pre
plans,
fire
inspections,
we
can
do
fire
extinguisher
classes,
help
them
with
evacuation
plans
for
their
their
hotel
and
also
they
the
gaming
floor.
O
Things
like
that
that
we
can
go
out
there
as
often
as
they
want
and
provide
some
other
evacuation
training
and
videos
and-
and
things
like
that
on
the
EMS
side-
we're
not
in
that
part
of
the
budget,
but
we
can
also
offer
those
folks
things
like
fill
their
oxygen
bottles.
There
they're
looking
at
trying
to
get
trained
in
as
a
first
responder
out
there,
and
what
that
will
do
is
a
when,
when
someone
gets
hurt
or
injured
or
sick
on
the
casino
floor
they
can
actually
take.
O
There
was
those
folks
off
the
casino
floor
around
and
the
public's
I
take
them
back
to
a
first-aid
room,
and
then,
when
we
we
come
with
the
ambulance,
we
go
right
to
that
room
and
they're
out
of
the
public's
eye
and
a
lot
more
calmer.
They
have
oxygen
back
there.
We
can
fill
the
oxygen
bottles
for
them
if
we
use
identical
equipment
that
they
use
like
oxygen
mask
things
like
that,
we
can
just
replace
them,
so
the
patient
doesn't
have
to
pay
twice
for
something.
O
Also,
we
can
provide
them
some
training
in
in
the
first
responder
portion
of
it
to
make
sure
they
keep
their
hours
or
certification
and
anything
new
that
comes
along
and
also
you
know
we
have.
We
have
our
older
cots,
the
Emmanuel
cops
when
we
switch
over
to
power
cuts
and
the
value
of
those
cots
are
about
two
hundred
bucks.
O
We
like
to
keep
a
couple
in
reserve
just
to
have
in
case
something
happens
to
one
of
the
power
cuts,
but
we
we
could
utilize,
send
one
of
the
cops
off
there,
so
they
could
actually
cut
back
more
than
a
c-collar
on
the
patient
and
take
them
back
into
this
first-aid
room.
So
they're
pretty
excited
about
the
fact
that
we
we
may
work
together
and
you
know
maybe
come
up
with
some
sort
of
an
agreement
or
something
more.
C
O
The
charges
for
goods
and
services
on
the
fire
budget-
some
of
that
is,
we
we've
seen
an
increase
in
our
township
fees
this
year.
I
believe
this
is
year
that
that's
when
up
also
in
ordinance
now,
we've
we've
started
the
fire
prevention
side
of
things,
we're
we're
we're
when
they
fill
out
a
building
permit
if
they
need
a
sprinkler
system
or
things
like
that,
we
we
have
fees
right
down
those
buildings
for
plan
review,
sprinkler
systems,
fire
alarm
system,
so
some
of
those
come
from
those
fees,
and
then
we
also
have
the
user.
Q
B
C
Only
other
question
I
have
is
under
your
fire
operating
expense
per
resident.
That's
went
up
on
your
average
from
46
dollars
in
2016
to
52
and
2017.
That's,
but
you
know,
15%
increase
in
cost
per
resident.
What
what's
driving
that
number,
so
yeah
I
mean
I.
I
I
see
what
you've
got
in
here,
but
it
seems
like
a
higher
number,
then
yeah
I.
We.
O
Just
take
her
or
our
budget,
however,
it's
you
know
with
the
with
the
salary
increases
in
the
hydrant
rental
and
things
like
that
by
the
number
of
residents.
I,
believe,
that's
how
that's
that's
figured
out,
so
I
don't
have
an
answer.
Actually,
finance
helps
helps
me
with
that
particular
number.
Yeah.
B
I
O
You
remember
right:
we
had
we
had
a
others
of
high-flyin
item
that
was
growing
and
it
seemed
like
anything
that
we
couldn't
find
the
right
budget
line
item
poor
we
put
in
other
supplies,
so
it
kind
of
was
a
catch-all
and
so
well.
We
got
other
supplies
here
too
right,
but
if
that
one
really
reduced
over
the
last
few
years
and
so
we've
increased
some
small,
we
put
some
money
into
safety
supplies
some
money
into
small
tools.
Things
like
that
we're
training
gear
market,
a
little
more
precise
than
probably
what
it
was.
O
So
those
a
couple
of
line
items
went
up
due
to
the
due
to
the
fact
that
the
other
supply
line
item
went
down.
So
some
of
the
other
things
that
we
do
have
is
things
like
firefighting,
foam
and
things
like
that,
and
we
take
that
out
of
that
other
supplies
and
at
one
time
so
we're
trying
to
adjust
those
and
and
trying
identify
where
they
really
should
be
going
instead
of
others.
Yeah.
N
O
N
A
N
That'd
be
like
the
NFPA
inspection,
we
have
a
program
that
chip
has
a
lot
of
that
could
be
fire
prevention
stuff
as
well,
that
we
use
for
memberships
at
runs,
runs
around
$1,200
a
year
Bruce,
and
then
we
have
some
inter
AMT
stuff
that
come
to
do.
Each
employees
are
on
$25.00
a
year
to
keep
their
paramedic
license.
So
that's
part
of
that
as
well,
so
it
it
fluctuates
for
the
most
part.
But
from
that
standpoint
that's
pretty
much
what
we
use
for
those
funds.
Thank.
I
O
So
I
would
I
would
like
to
just
mention
what
the
merit
asked
about
the
advisories.
Are
you
thinking
about
some
other
questions?
Yes,
it's
been
a
very
valuable,
valuable
tool
for
my
department.
They
help
us
we
with
things
like
the
apparatus
replacement
plan.
You
know
we
want
to
do
a
lot
of
planning
for
the
people
for
the
future
and
the
advisory
really
helps
us.
Have
that
vision
to
see
where
we're
at
now?
O
What
will
what
will
need
in
the
future
and
how
EMS
and
fire
and
things
are
changing
and
the
equipment
is
changing
and
we'll
use
them
as
a
sounding
board
and
it's
really
paid
dividends
to
my
department.
So
thank
you,
Mike
and
Randy
from
the
council,
as
well
as
the
other
advisory
members
from
our
community
and.
A
M
I
have
I,
have
a
question:
okay,
all
right!
Well,
a
question
in
a
comment:
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
you're
concerned
about
the
looks
of
the
Western
station
out
there,
where
you
said
you're
going
to
keep
track
of,
because
I
have
had
some
people
say
it
gets
a
little
shabby
once
in
a
while,
then
the
mowing
and
the
equipment
out
there.
You
know
the
after
a
burn
and
so
on,
but.
O
That
that's
basically
a
Heaton's
heat
and
smoke
search-and-rescue.
Basically,
that's
that's
a
portion
of
it.
We
can.
We
can
never
change
it,
the
interior
of
that
as
well.
We
can
also
do
ventilation
operations
and
put.
We
will
put
a
roof
up
there,
that
we
can
ventilate
with
chainsaws
and
things.
So
it
gives
the
firefighters
a
real
chance
to
get
into
some
heat,
and
you
know
a
lot
of
the
volunteer,
firefighters
and
also
the
the
students
up
at
La
Ti.
O
They
don't
have
a
chance
to
to
feel
that
heat
firsthand
and
and
there's
not
a
lot
of
heat.
It's
really
controlled,
so
it's
very
safe,
but
you
still
feel
the
heat,
and
that
gives
you
a
good
sense
of
what
it's
really
like
in
a
you
know,
fire
and
not,
and
and
not
to
get
panic
and
and
and
it
took
about
things
and
and
how
to
train
and
the
more
you
train
the
better
chance
you
have
of
getting
getting
out
of
those
situations.
M
O
The
volunteer
departments
around
our
area
very
excited
about
the
fact
that
we
have
something
like
that
to
offer
they've
never
had
that
they
can't
afford
to
travel
to
Sioux
Falls
Rapid
City
to
use
these
burn
towers
and
a
lot
of
times
are
not
invited
down
there.
So
for
a
for
a
small
fee,
we
can,
we
can
bring
in
our
department
in
and
and
they
can
get
those
those
trainings
that
they
need
on
that
burn
tower.
So
pretty
excited
it's
it's
a
little
different
than
the
SCBA
house,
because
it
does.
O
O
Start
steep
parts
of
it
to
maybe
look
at
some
sort
of
a
natural
grass
or
something
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
necessarily
mole
and,
and
then
some
of
the
other
areas,
cleaning
up
and
more
working
with
the
city
on
maybe
eating
some
some
older
mowers
that
we're
not
spending
a
lot
of
hours
on
it
and
some
other
planning
and
stuffing
and
I
think
if
we
get
certain
areas
marked
out,
the
airport
would
probably
help
us
out.
If
we
can
can
have
that
area
very
level,
and
so
they
don't
wrecked
our
equipment.
O
A
G
O
J
Have
a
comment
and
fire
then
smoke
detector
program,
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
or
not,
but
a
couple
here.
Man
came
through
our
block
and
they
and
we
have
a
couple
people
on
that
block
better
in
their
90's
and
so
I
get
real
nervous
when
they're
standing
on
a
chair
and
trying
to
switch
those
out-
and
so
they
came
through
and
they
went
all
of
our
facility,
our
all
of
our
houses,
who
ever
wanted
to
do
it.
They
were
fun,
they
were
light
they
put
in
those
detectors
for
some
of
the
elderly
people.
K
O
O
Have
a
limited
dollars
in
our
inner
funds
and
well
what
I
think
we
were
looking
for
somewhere
to
get
the
250
I
think
they're
at
11
or
12
bucks,
a
detector
if
I'm
not
mistaken,
so
we'll
pick
up
fifty
to
a
hundred
of
those
250
in
a
in
a
grant
depending
on.
If
the
grants
are
out
there,
that's
been
a
year-to-year,
we
can
probably
grab
another
50
or
so
out
of
our
out
of
our
education
and
outreach
dollars
and
then
so
we're
looking
for.
O
G
G
H
O
The
EMS
side
we
have
a
as
I
said,
our
staff
is
all
trained,
both
in
firing
EMS
and
at
this
time,
and
we
run
about
2400
ambulance
calls
a
year.
Currently
we
take,
we
take
care
of
the
city
of
Watertown,
the
greater
part
of
Coddington
County
other
than
the
South
Shore
corner,
and
with
that,
like
I,
said,
2400
calls
a
year.
We
have
five
advanced
life
support
ambulances
in
the
city.
O
We
use
those
for
transfers
and
also
for
emergency
response
within
our
community,
and
we
were
always
staff
and
with
paramedics
and
and
as
of
last
year,
we've
upgraded
a
couple
more
of
our
life
pack
monitors.
So
all
of
our
equipment
is
identical
on
all
the
rigs
and
we
have
the
the
different,
the
thumpers,
the
CPR
machines
and
those
have
really
have
been
impressive
units.
O
I'd
like
to
thank
the
council
for
for
helping
us
get
those
on
all
the
rigs,
because
sometimes
a
second
and
a
third
and
the
fourth
rig
are
being
called
into
those
situations
and
it's
nice
to
have
that
identical
equipment.
We
didn't
run
into
one
time
before
we
got
him
on
that
before
he
got
the
additional
ones
that
we
had
to
do
it
manually
and
it
frees
up
another
man
and-
and
it
can
really
do
a
lot
of
good
for
that
patient.
O
Before
we
get
there
and
they're
very,
very
educating
capable
to
run
and
easie
these
units
and
it's
it's
it's
paying
a
big
dividend.
So
we're
doing
that
and
the
only
other,
big
thing
that
we're-
and
we
have
on
the
ems
side
this
year,
we're
looking
at
new
ambulance
and
and
what
we're
looking
at
doing
as
a
research
and
a
possible
remount
on-on-on
an
ambulance.
We
have
a
couple
of
units
that
are
causing
us,
some
maintenance
equipment,
maintenance
problems
and,
and
they
they
have
these
six
liter
Diesel's
that
haven't
worked
out
real
well
for
us.
O
So
anyway,
long
story
short
we're
looking
at
what
the
cost
savings
would
be
on
looking
at
a
remount
taking
our
box
off
and
putting
it
on
a
on
a
new
chassis.
So
we're
researching
the
possibility
of
going
to
a
gas
engine
which
we
haven't
had
a
gas
engine
in
water
tom
for
quite
some
time,
but
that's
kind
of
the
trend.
That's
going
back
to
gas,
the
v10
is
been
a
pretty
reliable
motor
and
the
maintenance
when
they
do
have
a
problem.
It's
not
as
expensive
as
as
diesel
motor.
So
much.
K
O
D
O
Guess
let
me
start
up
on
the
goods
and
services
on
the
eight
hundred.
Ninety
thousand:
that's
what
we
collect
in
revenue
for
our
budget
from
Ford
and
one
service
a
year,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
that
stays
very
stable
and
as
Medicare
changes
come
through
and
stuff,
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
always
looking
looking
ahead
enough
to
make
sure
that
it
stays.
G
O
With
the
personal
services
that
went
up
a
pretty
good
amount
and
that's
80
percent
of
our
budget
is
under
the
animal
inside
and
20
percent
some
of
the
fire
sites,
so
those
numbers
are
going
to
be
bigger.
So
that's
to
the
2%
salary
increase
some
health
insurance
benefits.
We
did
have
a
number
of
single
firefighters
that
they
get
married
and
had
children
over
this
last
year
and
also
the
other
thing
that
we're
looking
at
this
year's
some
part-time
EMT
staff
to
try
and
work
work.
P
O
O
Software
we
had
some
software
increases
$1,700
and
some
of
those
are
what
we
did.
The
share
on
the
ems
site
is
we
went
to
a
mobile
software
and
that
that
has
reduced
our
time
on
a
report.
Writing
because
a
lot
of
this
information
transfers
right
in
that
also
goes
right
into
an
iPad
which
is
it's
pretty
reasonable
and
it's
reduced
reduced
the
amount
of
time
that
the
medic
has
to
sit
in
front
of
the
computer
by
about
20
minutes
of
report.
O
Medical
supplies
always
seem
to
be
going
up,
so
we've
adjusted
that
up
$1,000,
so
we're
involved
in
a
couple
coops
to
make
sure
we're
always
getting
them.
The
best
price
actually
I
think
we're
involved
in
two
of
them
now.
So
we
compare
prices
and
stuff,
so
we're
not
unlocked
under
any
contract,
but
we
we
buy
these
supplies
in
bulk
just
along
with
a
lot
of
other
big
services,
and
that
saves
us
quite
a
bit
of
money.
O
The
employee
physicals.
We
reduce
that
amount
down
a
little
bit
and
we're
planning
on
some
different
changes
in
in
what
we
do
with
employee
physicals,
so
we're
able
to
save
some
money
there
and
then
the
capital
purchases.
We
are
looking
at
a
new
IV
pump,
a
couple
of
stair
chairs,
which
are
the
chairs
that
you
can
bring
a
patient
from
the
upstairs
downstairs
without
taking
the
big
heavy
pot
up
there.
It's
a
chair
that
folds
right
down
into
a
bed
and
works
well
and
take
corners.
O
We
can
strap
them
right
in
the
other
thing
is
some
back
boards
and
splint.
Some
back.
You
sweats
and
the
actual
back
boards
are
kind
of
getting
getting
old
and
ragged,
so
we're
going
to
improve
on
some
of
those
things,
and
that
is
other
than
the
replacement
of
the
computers.
We've
got
our
inventory
of
our
computers
over
with
itno
and
and
those
folks
are
going
to
help
us
with
our
computer
replacement
and
help
us
on
a
journey
with
with
our
computer.
So
that's
all
I
am
on
EMS.
I
I
have
a
quick
question:
I
think
this
bright
for
you,
Shelly
I
got
a
curiosity
when
I
look
at
the
group
health
insurance
costs.
You
know,
I
look
and
we
see
in
the
negative
to
maybe
two
three
four
percent,
some
of
you
I.
Look.
We
added
another
person
I'm
assuming
that's
probably
know.
Why
is
it
so
much
higher?
Why
are
we
at
17%
done
with
this
group?
Is
it
because
they're
driving
an
ambulance
I
know.
B
We
had
a
three
year
contract
it
started
at
the
city
would
pay
the
first
five
seventy
five
and
then
there
was
a
60/40
split
and
for
2017
that
went
up
to
six
hundred,
so
the
city
is
contributing
more
towards
the
health
insurance
and
then,
as
he
kind
of
alluded
to.
If
anybody
changes
from
single
to
family
that
almost
doubles
what
the
city
contributes,
and
so
then
that
will
increase
what
the
city
is
participating
in
as
well.
So.
B
C
O
O
Or
yes,
we
would.
We
would
like
to
see
it
benefit
our
reducing
our
overtime
and
that's
the
main
goal
for
trying
to
bring
that
back
and
giving
us.
You
know
some
help.
During
the
during
the
busy
times
we
can
put
some
staff
on
some
extra
staff
during
rodeo
events
and
special
events,
and
things
like
that,
just
to
make
sure
we
got
a
another
person
and-
and
we
would
train
them
into
to
be
a
driver.
You
know
over
a
very
Hamlet's
and
stuff
in
their
holy
blood
gmt.
So
we
think
it'll
it'll
pay
some
dividends,
you'll.
D
O
B
Q
R
Street
department
for
2016
our
accomplishments
this
year
we
cracked,
sealed
quite
a
few
blocks.
This
year
we
had
and
I
believe
we
had
130
blocks
this
year
compared
to
98
last
year.
That
was
kind
of
a
big
accomplishment.
The
prices
came
in
good
on
her
bids
and
we
did
have
a
contractor.
This
year's
contractor
actually
put
down
some
of
our
material
that
we
had
at
the
straight
department,
so
we
got
a
lot
done
there.
R
The
other
thing
we
did,
which
I
don't
have
any
accomplishments
is
we
were
able
to
stretch
our
phase
$1
for
mill
and
overlay
by
doing
some
of
our
streets
in
an
inch
and
a
half
mill
and
overlay
instead
of
two
inches,
which
will
help
get
us
closer
to
what
we
used
to
put
down
around
five
miles
of
Mellon
overlay
a
year.
I
think
we've
been
lately
around
four
miles,
or
so
three
and
half
four
miles
so
we're
working
on
other
ways
to
stretch
our
dollar
this
year.
R
R
As
you
guys
know
this
year
we
tried
to
do
a
bit
of
micro
surfacing
the
bids
came
in
high,
but
we're
gonna
see
if
we
can
work
with
Sioux
Falls
and
the
surrounding
areas
to
piggyback
on
with
some
of
their
micro
surfacing
and
give
it
a
shot
here
in
town,
see
if
we
can
make
that
work
for
next
year,
so
but
basically
yeah
this
year.
I
worked
pretty
hard
on
on
the
budget.
R
As
far
as
trying
to
minimize
our
budget
requests
a
save
dollars,
we
are
trying
to
stretch
the
life
of
our
equipment
and
we
have
a
lot
of
good
guys
in
houses
that
are
mechanically
inclined
and
we
do
have
one
certified
mechanic.
So
we've
been
doing
more
in
house
repairs
on
our
equipment
when
we
have
time
so
rainy
days.
Things
like
that,
so
saves
us
some
dollars
all
right.
R
Let's
see
the
other
thing,
some
of
the
items
that
we
were
looking
at,
getting
like
a
new
truck
and
that
we
are
gonna,
pick
up,
I,
believe
from
from
waste
water
or
the
landfill.
A
couple
use
pickups
this
year,
which,
instead
of
getting
a
new
truck
that
helps
save
some
dollars
for
the
city
to
dump
trucks,
we're
doing
pretty
good
right
now,
and
then
we
have
our
stretch
in
the
life
of
some
of
our
mowers
and
stuff
too.
R
The
one
thing
that
does
come
to
mind
that
is
going
to
be
a
spendy
item
this
year
that
we're
asking
for
is
a
broom.
As
you
guys
know,
we
did
have
some
trouble
last
year
with
our
two
of
our
three
brooms
and
actually
I
did
get
numbers
today
on
the
broom
that
we're
gonna,
replace
or
looking
at
replacing.
R
We
have
just
shy
of
eleven
thousand
hours
on
it
and
sixty
five
thousand
miles,
so
that
is
a
broom.
That's
our
oldest
broom,
it's
in
all
three,
and
in
the
last
13
months,
we've
had
47
invoices
on
repairs
that
we've
done
on
it
and
that
only
comes
to
like
10,000
bucks,
but
it
was
a
lot
of
nickel
and
dime
stuff,
so
downtime
really
so
anyway,
that
broom
is
due
for
replacement.
It's
it's
it's
needed.
So,
let's
see
here
as
far
as
any
major
changes.
R
R
Repairs
like
I
was
saying:
where
were
our
equipment
maintenance
line,
we're
not
farming
as
much
work
out,
so
we
did
drop
that
line,
but
I
did
increase
the
parts
for
equipment
line
which
is
part
of
what
we
do
in-house
we
buy
the
parts
and
put
them
put
it
together,
in-house,
so
capital
purchases,
some
network
upgrade
that's
computing,
some
of
the
computer
stuff
we're
working
on
with
IT
vehicles
and
equipment.
We
have
a
an
asphalt
hot
box
which
we're
requesting,
which
basically,
what
that
does
is
it's
it's
a
box.
R
It
has
burners
on
it
and
keeps
a
the
asphalt
mix
hot
throughout
the
day,
and
you
can
actually
plug
it
in
and
keep
the
mix
hot
overnight.
If
you,
if
you
don't
empty
the
box-
and
it
also
has
a
side
tank
for
keeping
tact
mixed
up
and
usable
tack
after
it's
been
opened
up
and
that's
what
you
put
down
before
you
put
the
asphalt
down.
It's
like
a
primer.
R
The
tap
goes
to
waste
real
quick.
Once
it's
been
opened
up
so
anyway,
this
asphalt
hot
box.
What
it
should
do
is
help
us
reduce
trips
to
the
asphalt
plant
to
pick
up
asphalt,
because
the
way
we
do
it
now
on
our
patch
crew,
we
might
have
three
four
trips
with
one
guy
per
day
out
to
the
asphalt
plant.
R
N
R
To
put
down
sometimes
so,
the
finishes
is
not
always
good
cousin
that
so
the
asphalt
stays
at
a
good
working
temperature.
It's
more
pliable,
it's
easier
to
work
with
so
a
little
less
stress
on
the
old
arms
on
raking
out
and
stuff
for
the
fellas.
So
really
that's
mainly
what
we
have
for
for
the
street
department
this
year.
It's
pretty
short
and
sweet,
so
got
any
questions.
J
R
J
R
R
F
For
you,
first
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
the
job
that,
for
my
perception
that
you
and
your
crew
do
in
town
I,
do
you
feel
like
you're
keeping
up
and
that's
one
of
the
first
things
that
people
are
going
to
form
an
impression
about.
A
community
is
what
the
quality
of
the
roads
are
when
they
fall
into
town.
Just.
R
Know
as
far
as
patching
goes,
I
feel
that
were
we're
struggling
a
bit
to
keep
up
with
the
patching
the
the
paving
and
and
road
maintenance.
As
far
as
melon
overlay,
that
type
of
thing
it's
quite
expensive
and
you
know
I
think
in
the
future
we
might
have
to
look
at
increase
in
those
dollars.
I
know
we
did
last
year.
We
increase
that
and
that
definitely
is
helping
Plus
thinning
out
some
of
our
overlays
to
an
inch
and
a
half.
R
Instead
of
2
inches,
we
will
stretch
our
dollar
and
that
will
help
quite
a
bit
and
as
far
as
you
know,
road
maintenance
goes
and
full
road
reconstruction
there's
methods
out
there.
That
would
look
an
ad
that
will
save
the
taxpayers
dollars
and
get
some
of
these
roads
fixed
for
a
lot
cheaper
amount.
So
one
of
the
things
that
comes
to
mind
is
the
full
depth.
R
Reclamation
is
just
a
way
instead
of
pulling
all
the
material
out
of
the
road
and
hauling
in
all
new
material
communities
are
doing
more
of
grinding
that
material
together
and
adding
hardeners
and
stuff
to
solidify
the
base.
We're
looking
into
some
of
that
which
is
more
used
more
in
rural
sections,
but
it
is
used
in
town
to
where
you
have
kerbin
gutters
so
but
yeah
as
far
as
the
patch
crew
go.
R
Is
that
part
of
it
I
feel
I've
been
working
on
trying
to
increase
our
equipment
for
our
patch
crews
or
a
crew
and
I'm
trying
to
get
to
a
point
where
I
have
two
full
crews
with
all
the
equipment
they
need
to
get
more
done
with
patching,
because
our
list
is
is
always
very
long.
It
seems
like
we
never
get
caught
out.
I
saw.
G
R
A
K
R
R
I
I
The
only
other
thing
I'd
ask
you
is
on
both:
what
were
you
getting
the
snow
removal
tool
when
we
get
up
to
that?
But
you,
you
save,
got
an
equipment
man,
its
program
to
keep
all
machinery
and
you've
got
that
set
out
for
18.
Is
there
a
reason
we
can't
move
that
into
2017
Rob
you've
got
that
listed
on
both
your
budgets
right.
R
And
actually,
we
are
currently
looking
I
t's
working
with
me
on
software
for
fleet
maintenance
software.
It's
something
that
I
think
will
help
us
keep
track
of
what
we
need
for
equipment
and
maintenance
and
stuff
with
all
the
equipment
would
have.
Sometimes
you
know,
I
think
the
maintenance
could
be
lacking
at
times,
just
because
you
know
when
you
have
60
some
pieces
of
equipment,
oil
changes
and
that
type
of
things
a
big
deal.
But
this
type
of
software
has
calendars.
A
Believe
I
believe
we're
that
are,
you
are
implementing
something
that
can
be
used
within
all
departments,
and
there
are
some
you
sure,
go
ahead.
There
are
some
that
are
doing
it
and
you
guys
just
so
you
you
understand
that
every
one
of
the
departments
that
have
been
up
here
have
talked
about
the
IT
department
and
all
the
budgets
that
were
putting
together
has
some
computers
and
IT
equipment,
but
all
the
dollars
really
are
going
to
be
controlled
by
Spencer
side.
You
know
he
will.
He
will
order
the
computers
he
will.
S
Yeah
Spencer
Ten,
Eyck
IT,
say
we
we're
just
getting
into
the
realm
of
trying
to
find
a
fleet
management
software.
The
fire
department
currently
has
one
waste.
Excuse-Me
solid
waste
has
a
different
one.
Do
one
of
those
fit
in
multiple
departments?
We're
still
doing
a
little
bit
of
work,
but
we
are
focusing
on
that
goal
of.
Can
we
use
it
in
more
than
one
place,
save
some
money
and
and
also
standardize.
You
know,
that's
that's
what
I'm
big
about.
S
S
S
K
S
And
there's
there's
a
there's,
a
whole
mess
of
different
ones,
and
they
they
range
from
something
very
basic,
like
an
Excel
spreadsheet,
that
type
program
all
the
way
to
something
with
GPS.
That
is
very
costly.
But
it's
supposed
to
save
you
money
in
the
long
run
so
working
with
multiple
budgets
and
trying
to
make
sure
it
makes
sense
for
us.
You
know
how
what
tier
are
we
going
to
fall
at
is
really
the
question
right
now.
S
B
R
Not
a
lot
to
say
there
I
mean
other
than
you
know
our
crews.
We've
worked
really
hard
on
trying
to
reduce
the
amount
of
time
it
takes
to
clear
the
city
of
Watertown
of
snow
and
we've
been
putting
down
a
lot
more
salt
and
sand
mix
the
last
two
seasons
to
help
with
ice
control
and
accidents.
That
type
of
thing,
the
snow
gate
thing.
R
We've
we've
got
two
motor
graders
up
and
running
now
doing
basically
from
the
river
east
over
to
19th,
Street
and
North,
to
14th
Avenue
and
down
to
212
we're
looking
at
requesting
another
motor
grader
with
a
snow
gate
which
would
basically
would
cover
the
the
main
area
of
Watertown
from
14th
Avenue
to
212,
to
21st,
Street
West
to
19th,
Street
East,
and
also
we
are
trying
to
hit
those
areas
like
River,
Ridge,
North,
Ridge,
Eastwood
or
yeah
Eastwood's
and
Dakota
Commons.
Those
areas
right
now
or
we're.
R
With
contractors
at
times
when
we
need
it
so
we've
also
yeah,
there's
snow
gate
thing.
I
know:
we've
had
a
lot
of
positive
feedback
from
from
people
we
get
calls,
and
that
and
people
are
really
happy
with
it.
As
you
guys
know,
we're
only
able
to
use
it
up
to
roughly
around
six
inches
of
snow,
but
we
use
it
when
we
can
so
we
are
requesting
this
year,
another
motor
grader,
which
basically
would
replace
the
Volvo
we
have,
which
is
a
2003,
has
around
6,000
hours.
R
R
Was
the
other
thing
to
the
we
have
a
Ryland
gate
and
a
hinky
gate
and
the
hinky
gate
is
just
awesome.
It's
really
good.
It
works
good,
it's
yeah,
so
it's
pretty
bulletproof
and
works
good,
so
we're
gonna
get
another
hinky
gate
and
then,
if
we're,
if
this
is
approved
to
get
another
motor,
grader
that'll
come
with
the
hanky.
Also,
so
let's
see
you.
A
Know
just
to
give
I
just
want
to
give
the
council
a
little
bit
of
idea
what
happened
in
our
meeting.
You
know
how
this
all
kind
of
transpired
Rob
did
have
in
his
in
his
budget.
We
were
looking
at
another
truck
with
a
blade
on
the
front
and
I
really
thought
with
the
compliments
and
the
the
discussion
that
the
people
have
had
in
my
office
and
and
with
these
guys
that
the
the
three
crews
on
the
on
the
snow,
you
know
plows
would
be
much
better
with
the
gates
on
there.
A
E
R
Oh
hour,
right
now
we
currently
in
our
fleet.
We
have
the
the
motor
grader
we
use
from
the
landfill
as
a
six
wheel
drive.
It
takes
a
six
wheel,
drive
to
pull
a
gate.
A
four-wheel
drive
unit
will
not
pull
a
gate,
I
mean
it,
maybe
wouldn't
1/2
inches
of
powdery
snow,
but
it'd
be
hard-pressed
to
pull
anything
more
than
that.
So,
but
you
have
the
Volvo
that
we
have,
that
we'd
be
replacing,
is
just
a
four-wheel,
drive
motor
grader,
so
it's
we'd,
be
replacing
a
four-wheel
drive
with
the
six
wheel.
A
R
What
we
I
think
if
I
remember
right
here,
we
had
two
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
budgeted.
If
we
were
to
purchase
a
new
motor
grader
six
wheel,
drive.
We
have
two
options
here:
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
reducing
the
size
of
our
motor
graders.
We've
been
running
772
s
which
are
equivalent
the
last
two
blades
we've
gotten
the
landfill
and
the
blade
we
got
last
year.
Six.
Seventy
two
is
no.
We
we
did
notice
last
year
pulling
snow
with
the
snow
gates
and
stuff
it.
R
There
seemed
to
be
not
a
big
power
issue,
but
you
could
tell
there
was
they
they
struggled
to
pull
it
when
we
had
heavier
snow
with
the
snow
gates.
So
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
get
a
772
again,
but
for
that
dollar
amount,
we'd
only
be
looking
at
getting
a
used,
772
and
now
Sioux
Falls
still
has
some
in
their
fleet
or
their
rental
fleet
that
they
had
last
year.
A
R
I
believe
under
300
we
did
actually
have
one
of
them
down
to
our
shop
here
less
than
a
month
ago
that
we
demoed-
and
you
know,
we'd,
be
looking
at
that
or
the
285.
Last
year
we
had
a
672
with
the
snow
gate
brand-new
for
two
hundred
and
sixty
thousand,
so
it
would
either
way
it
would
cover
what
we
would
need,
whether
we
went
with
the
use,
772
size
machine
or
a
new
672
size
machine
which
are
all
six
wheel,
drive
just
more
horsepower
machine
when
you
go
to
a
772.
R
R
R
R
R
K
Definitely
not
against
getting
one
of
the
year's
lease
is
up
soup,
Falls,
but
I.
Think
sometime.
We
should
look
at
wasting
some
of
that
equipment
and
see
what
the
cost
you
know
evidently
there's
a
ineffectiveness
to
Sioux
Falls
doing
it,
but
maybe
that's
because
of
their
volume
that
they're
leasing
to
so
I.
R
R
G
R
B
Karev
next
apartment
is
library
and
again
they
have
library
which
is
in
the
general
fund,
and
then
they
also
have
a
library
fines
fund,
which
is
a
special
revenue
fund.
But
that
is
also
the
library
also
uses
we'll
just
we'll
go
through
the
library
first
and
then
go
through
any
questions
and
then
do
the
library
fines
fun
after
that
so
Mike.
Whenever
you're
ready,
you
can
go
through
the
library.
Well,.
P
Good
evening,
I
will
try
to
make
it
fairly
quick
just
quickly
looking
at
the
accomplishments
for
this
year.
There's
a
couple
things
I'd
like
to
mention
when
we
are
hosting
the
State
Library
Conference
here
the
end
of
September,
which
is
going
to
bring
in
a
couple
hundred
people
and
I
hope
you
can
maybe
stop
and
say
hi
to
some
of
them
and
one
of
the
things
earlier
in
the
evening
there
wasn't
talked
about
replacing
lights
with
LEDs.
P
But
we
did
see
a
substantial
kickback
on
them.
I
forget
what
the
fund
is
called,
but
for
replacing
those
with
the
LEDs.
We
are
replacing
the
regular
lightbulbs
in
the
building
with
the
LEDs
and
we're
turning
that
into
coming
up
goals.
For
2017,
one
thing
there
I
really
want
to
mention
is
we're
plant
we're
hoping
to
send
more
staff
to
regional
training
programs.
P
Now
this
comes
because
there's
been
a
big
turnover
in
the
staff
and
you'll
see
that
when
you
turn
your
page
go
if
we
really
skip
down
to
the
significant
budget,
changes
and
personnel
changes,
you'll
notice
that
there's
a
reduction
in
the
salaries
of
sixteen
thousand,
that's
because
of
the
turnover
and
staff,
and
when
you
have
staff
turnover
you
need
to
train
them.
So
that's
where
that
comes
in
as
long
as
we're
there
at
significant
budget
changes,
SDL
n,
which
was
the
South
Dakota
library
Network
we
talked
about
last
year,
is
no
more
and
Shelly.
P
P
The
other
major
well,
actually,
the
only
increase
in
there
is
on
our
ILS.
That's
the
integrated
library
system
maintenance.
There
was
a
couple
things
there.
One
was
a
change
in
the
fender
that
actually
provides
to
the
vendor
that
we
deal
with
in
a
cost
for
a
service
that
we
chose
to
have
wear
before.
Basically,
it
was
getting
the
covers
of
the
books
off
of
Google
for
free,
that's
no
longer
now
they
have
to
pay
for
it
and
they
passed
the
cost
on
to
us.
P
And
if
we
go,
if
you
want
to
go
to
page
62,
where
we
get
into
the
nitty-gritty,
I
will
just
kind
of
point
out
that
ILS
maintenance.
There
is
that's
the
change.
I
just
talked
about
go
down
where
it
says:
maintenance
of
others
there's
an
increase
of
$700,
that's
a
41%
increase,
that's
maintenance
of
others.
Is
things
outside
the
building.
For
example,
your
sprinkler
systems
and
we've
had
a
number
of
sprinkler
heads
we
just
had
to
replace,
but
there
are
other
things
that
we
think
may
be
going
out.
P
If
you
go
down
to
do
to
travel
expense
personnel,
that's
actually
a
decrease,
but
I
just
want
to
point
out
that,
even
though
we're
decreasing
that
that's
because
there
was
a
big
jump
this
year-
and
that
was
because
we
had
an
opportunity
to
send
some
people
to
a
major
national
conference
and-
and
you
graciously
provided
the
money
to
do
that.
Overall,
our
total
budgets
down,
though
any
questions
on
the
general.
F
I
P
B
P
Let's
just
really
look
at
the
the
capital
purchases
there,
a
couple
chairs
and
we're
planning
on
replacing
we've
got
some
computer
replacements,
those
are
actually
down
because
we're
buying
fewer
computers.
There
is
ten
thousand,
therefore
firewalls
and
wireless
access
points
I,
actually
don't
anticipate
that
we're
going
to
end
up
spending.
All
of
that
part
of
it
is
contingency
in
having
this
did
with
Spencer
about
it.
P
We
we
are
going
to
be
replacing
our
firewall
and
we
have
been
having
some
issues
with
people
being
able
to
connect
to
our
wireless
network
and
the
performance
of
that
and
I
know.
The
board
has
been
very
concerned
about
that
because
of
the
perception
from
people,
but
Spencer
did
some
things
which
has
actually
helped
so
right
now,
I,
don't
know
if
we're
going
to
end
up
spending
that
extra
money.
F
This
probably
isn't
the
the
time
to
have
the
conversation,
but
that
that
fun
balance
has
grown
to
fairly
difficult,
significant
balance
over
the
years.
Any
plans,
as
far
as
use
of
that
money,
eventually
or
I,
mean
we're
pretty
limited.
As
far
as
what
we
say,
we're
going
to
use
it
for
I
guess
any
any
thoughts
or
comments
a.
P
All
of
our
computer
technology
goes
out
of
that
all
of
the
programming
expenses
are
coming
out
of
that
there's
some
equipment.
For
example,
we
have
a
vend
unit
and
a
a
major
big,
expensive,
photocopier,
multifunction
photocopier
type
thing
and
a
set
of
software
and
a
release
station
that
allows
people
who
come
into
the
building
with
their
own
devices
to
print
to
our
printer
wirelessly.
Okay,
all
of
that
was
purchased
through
that
fund
and
that
equipment
is
going
to
be
coming
up
for
replacement.
It's
gonna
be
pretty
spendy
that
will
all
come
out
of
there.
A
What
I
would
like
to
see,
though
Mike,
is
that
during
this
budget
process,
so
that
so
that
we
fully
understand
the
library
I
think
we
should
have
actually
a
more
of
an
understanding
on
your
budget
of
that
fine
fund?
You
know
where
do
these
dollars
go
what's
going
so
that
we
don't
look
at
it
and
say
well,
gosh
Mike's
got
a
slush
fund
over
here
of
X
amount
of
dollars,
and
if
we
don't
approve
it,
he
can
take
it
out
of
this
one
I'm
serious.
A
B
Just
makes
you
and
you'll
see
that
when
we
go
through
the
long
term
CIP
process,
when
you
look
at
their
computer,
it's
all
under
library
but
you'll,
see
the
difference
between
general
fund
and
fines
fund
and
you'll
see
that
all
their
computers
do
come
out
of
there.
So
you
can
kind
of
see
what's
going
to
come
in
and
out.
B
The
other
thing
is:
is
that
that
fund
balance
was
significantly
higher
a
few
years
back
and
the
Library
Board
got
together
and
we
created
a
fines
fund
fund
policy
and
it's
basically,
it
can't
have
any
more
than
35
percent
of
what
the
general
fund
expenditure
for
that
year
is
which
their
fund
balance
is
anticipated
to
be
lower
than
that.
That
I
think
the
35%
is
like
three
hundred
and
thirty
thousand
dollars
or
something,
and
so
that's
also
a
way
to
keep
that
at
a
manageable
level
so
that
they
have
that
allotments.
B
P
C
Just
just
a
touch
but
I
do
have
one
question
on
and
I
want
to
go
back
to
that
just
for
a
second
because
it
it
seems
like
every
year
or
every
other
year.
The
fines
fund
becomes
an
issue.
The
one
question
I
do
have
is
any
monies
that
come
out
of
the
fines
fund
for
expenditure.
Are
those
approved
and
always
a
part
of
the
budget
process,
so
it
has
to
be
budgeted
and
thus
approved
in
that
manner,
or
it
is
so
it's
all
controlled
via
the
budget.
Already
yes
right.
F
I
B
T
T
Then
rub
a
little
bit
there
and
we're
up
on
the
number
of
permits
code
enforcement.
Everything
is
going
good.
You
can
see.
Our
budget
is
very
almost
straight
out.
The
mayor
found
us
a
vehicle
with
the
police
department,
so
we're
gonna
pull
20,000
out
there.
We
got
$7,000
for
capital
funds,
that's
just
to
do
some
tablets
and
simple
computer
replacement.
T
We
had
plane
Commission
expenses
that
since
we
no
longer
have
the
noon,
Planning
Commission
meetings,
we
pull
a
little
money
out
of
there,
but
we
still
have
a
lot
of
new
meetings
that
we
kind
of
catered
to
a
little
bit.
We
got
our
$10,000
nuisance
abatement
costs.
I,
really
think
we
need
to
leave
that
in
there
it's
projected
to
stay
in
there.
We
spent
fifty
six
hundred
dollars
this
year
to
buy
a
house.
That's
in
the
floodplain,
which
is
going
to
give
us
a
lot
better.
T
C
E
C
Three
years
when
I
was
on
the
Planning
Commission
board
of
adjustments
and
such
you
know,
there
were
always
concerns
about
our
ability,
staffing,
wise
and
systems
wise
in
building
services,
to
be
able
to
keep
up
in
a
timely
manner
with
our
our
planning
and
construction
season,
because
we
all
know
gets
condensed.
How
is
that
been
I?
I
haven't
been
hearing
much
for
complaints
at
all,
I
think.
T
It's
been
pretty
good,
you
know
I.
Whenever
somebody
comes
in
to
us,
we
we
try
to
give
them
an
upfront
feeling
right
away
and
we
try
to
push
that
stuff
through
as
fast
as
we
can,
and
we
haven't
really
had
to
call
any
meetings
and
stuff,
but
but
we
notify
him
real
early
on
if
we
think
we're
gonna
have
that
problem
and
try
to
get
that
in
the
process
right
away.
So
I've.
T
Yep,
of
course,
I
don't
do
the
Planning
Commission,
that's
the
engineering
side.
We
just
do
the
Board
of
Adjustment.
We
always
did
two
a
month
also
anyway,
but
but
that
does
help
because
again
as
they're
stepping
through
that
thing,
there's
they're
keeping
it
going
faster
and
we
do
do
a
lot
of
things
cooperatively,
together
from
one
of
those
in.
I
I
T
We
had
all
there
yet,
but
some
of
the
other
communities
are
there
with
with
online
permitting.
It
would
have
to
be
someone
your
simpler
permits,
but
I
think
we
could
probably
move
towards
that
with
some
of
our
sheds,
defenses
type
permits
and
stuff
like
that,
and
we're
looking
at
all
that
stuff
going
forward
to
I
mean
we're
again
we're
trying
to
get
some
tablets.
So
we
can
be
more
proactive
out
in
the
field
and
not
have
to
run
back
here.
T
B
Next
up
is
airports
Todd,
there's,
there's
kind
of
two
parts
to
the
airport,
there's
there's
kind
of
the
airport
operating
which
has
a
personnel,
the
the
OEM
and
then
there's
a
second
part,
which
is
what
we
kind
of
call
the
airport
AIP,
which
which
is
kind
of
the
federal
piece
of
that.
So
on
the
revenue
side
we
kind
of
bunch
it
all.
We
separated
and
bunch
it
it's
kind
of
it's
kind
of
a
mess.
U
2016
accomplishments,
the
inaugural
burnout
event
was
very
successful.
We
had
525
participants
out
there
as
far
as
drivers
and
spectators.
There
they're
ecstatic
to
see
one
next
year
so
or
we're
gonna
work
on
that.
The
eight
unity
hangar
was
construction
constructed
this
year
and
we
actually
have
all
of
the
T
hangars
at
the
airport,
rented
out
we're
actually
sitting
at
54
based
aircraft
in
Watertown
compared
to
I
believe
the
number
was
27
in
2013
goals
for
2017
obviously
provide
reliable
air
service
with
with
the
new
airline
Adi.
U
Also
we
have
our
own
project
coming
up
in
2017,
replaced
the
crosswind
runway
and
maintaining
airport
grounds
2018
and
beyond
expand
the
aviation
related
businesses
out
in
the
air.
Airfield
I'm
gonna
go
after
a
lot
of
the
aviation
industry
as
far
as
the
maintenance
and
a
few
other
aviation
related
businesses.
The
tax
rates
are
great
in
South
Dakota
for
businesses
to
move
in.
So
the
mayor
and
I
ads
discussed
this
we're
going
to
try
and
get
after
some
businesses
out
there
we're
going
to
remove
and
replace
the
current
ramp
to
help
with
the
drainage
issues.
U
We
have
sloped
towards
the
terminal.
Right
now,
it's
wearing
down
quite
a
bit
with
our
great
drains.
We
have
right
along
the
terminal
we
have.
This
was
a
typo,
so
the
T
hangar
occupancy
rate
is
actually
at
a
hundred
percent.
Instead
of
thirty-four,
we
actually
have
thirty
four
T
hangar
spots
available
to
rent
out,
so
it's
actually
a
hundred
percent.
U
Moving
on
we'll
go
to
the
budget
summary.
The
significant
budget
and
personnel
changes,
twenty
seven
thousand
fifty
dollars
for
salary
adjustments
and
health
benefits.
We
actually
went
down
on
insurance
premiums,
adjusted
that
to
the
actual
costs
of
since
I've
been
doing
this
for
two
years
now.
This
is
my
second
year
doing
this,
so
we're
just
adjusting
actual
costs,
building
maintenance.
Since
we've
added
some
buildings,
a
couple
of
T
hangars
and
we've
actually
been
renting
out
just
about
every
other
building
we
have
out
there.
That's
that
has
not
been
rented
out
in
the
past.
U
So
due
to
that
we
increase
the
building
maintenance,
sealcoat
and
crack
ceiling.
We're
gonna,
try
and
maintain
that
ramp
surface.
It's
a
very
large
ramp
service.
So
we
increase
the
budget
a
little
bit
I'm
going
to
work
with
Rob
Beynon
to
hopefully
piggyback
on
his
seal
coat
and
crack
ceiling
next
year.
So
we
can
spend
our
dollars
more
wisely.
I
think
we
could
go
farther
with
our
dollar
going
through
him
and
then
the
computer
network
upgrades
that
IT
put
in.
U
We
still
have
one
Airport
manager,
one
Airport
dump
started
to
emmaus
employees
and
then
1.63
we're
still
at
four
point
six
three
from
last
year,
the
actual
budget
just
shows
the
decrease.
Here.
The
increase
is
here
for
our
two
line:
items
that
went
up.
Everything
else
stays
the
same
from
last
year:
Shelley
and
I
have
been
working
very
diligently
and
the
mayor
and
we've
finally,
a
think
got
this
budget
under
control,
maybe
from
prior
years
of
neglect.
U
A
U
So
here's
the
runway
project
here
this
8.1
million
for
next
year
we're
only
one
to
rear
only
reconstruction
we're
actually
going
to
remove
and
replace
the
runway
in
concrete
we've
done
a
portion
of
it
in
2012,
so
we
will
not
have
to
close
both
runways
and
and
close
the
airport
so
that
helped
tremendously.
But
the
costs
came
in
a
little
higher
than
expected
this
year.
We're
not
sure
why
we're
still
waiting
for
the
federal
government
to
make
up
their
mind
if
they
want
to
go
with
this
price
or
if
we
want
to
rebid
it.
F
G
B
C
U
C
U
E
C
C
Other
question
I
have
is
just
just
in
regard
to
the
airport
period,
but
you
know
we
have
where
we've
got
to
walk
from
the
terminal
to
the
plane
versus
you
know
the
Skyway
or
the
ramp
row.
You
want
to
call
it
is
there
even
it?
You
know
forgetting
cost
right
now,
but
it
is.
Could
our
facility
have
a
jet
way,
a
jet
way,
type
system
that
would
work?
Yes,.
U
U
U
They
have
four
or
five
staff
on
duty,
so
they'd
have
plenty
of
time
and
plenty
of
manpower
to
go
over
because
they're
going
over
there
to
open
the
door
anyway,
because
it's
a
secured
door,
it's
locked
from
the
inside
and
out
so
they
go
over
and
unlock
the
door
at
that
point.
One
of
them
stands
at
the
door
and
one
of
them
goes
back
to
the
plane.
So
they
could
pull
that
out.
One
could
go
back
over
to
the
door,
the
other
one
could
stay
at
the
aircraft.
Yeah.
B
G
B
Gonna,
have
you
just
continue
to
go
if
you
guys
have
any
questions
just
interrupt
him,
otherwise
we're
just
gonna
kind
of
go
department
by
department
he's
just
gonna
keep
going,
so
you
don't
have
to
do
any
of
your
accomplishments.
They've
already
had
time
to
read
that
just
kind
of
kind
of
go
through
your
budget,
any
changes,
any
capital
that
you
think
is
important
to
bring
them.
Okay,.
Q
If
you
go
to
page
75
you'll
see
there's
this
minor
increase
in
impersonal
services,
the
big
increase
in
the
other
current
expenditures
and
that's
the
transfer
of
the
mosquito
program
from
the
general
fund
to
that
fund.
Otherwise
it
would
have
been
the
public
reduction
there,
also
and
again,
no
major
capital
expenditures
on
page
76.
This
is
the
sanitary
sewer
collection
system
improvements
here.
For
the
last
several
years,
we've
been
budgeting
three
hundred
twenty-five
thousand
dollars
a
year.
Q
I
know
we
used
to
spend
more,
but
we've
met
this
number
now
for
a
number
of
years
and
we're
going
out
there
and
cleaning
televising
sewers
and
we're
prorating
them
under
condition.
And
then
this
year
we
had
big
projects.
So
we
had
a
list
of
sewers
that
needed
repair.
They
were
repairs,
it
required
you
to
excavate
the
streets.
Q
So
that's
what
we
bid
this
year
next
year
will
bid
lining
project
where
you
don't
tear
up
the
street
and
you
can
fix
pipes
pipe
inside
pipe
and
we're
alternating
that
every
other
year
moving
forward
to
page
79.
Yet
next
is
the
wastewater
treatment
facility
and
again
we
have
some
salary
adjustments
and
I'll
just
kind
of
hit
the
big
items
going
down
to
capital
purchases.
Q
Seventy
eight
thousand,
that's
to
thirty
nine
thousand
dollar
pickups
3/4
ton
four-wheel
drives
with
emergency
lighting
fuel
to
toolboxes
and
so
forth,
and
then
we'll
be
transferring
the
to
all
trucks
to
the
street
department
to
give
those
to
them.
There's
a
$16,300
we're
replacing
a
nine
year
old
diesel
ATV
where
the
the
engine
is
good,
but
the
transmission
is
blown
we
spend
about
twenty
five
hundred.
Three
thousand
on
it
just
a
year
or
so
ago,
to
fix
it
and
now
that
we
need
a
whole
new
transmission.
A
Q
Thanks,
oh
the
digester
roof.
We
have
the
roof
of
this
building
is
shrinking
and
curling
up
be
a
local
roofing
contractor
give
us
quotes
on
getting
that
work
done.
I,
guess.
Part
of
the
big-ticket
item
here
is
the
digester
rehabilitation
project.
We
finished
design
engineering
on
that
this
year,
a
little
bit
of
time
that
projects
are
kind
of
big
one
we
have
to
digesters.
Q
The
concrete
takes
with
steel
covers
the
steel
covers
are
containing
a
corrosive
explosive
gas
that
has
to
be
contained
in
that
process
and
on
those
covers
large
areas
of
the
coating
is
coming
off
and
exposing
rusty
metal
underneath
inside
the
tanks
there's
a
more
corrosive
environment.
So
this
project
here
we
haven't,
seen
you
done
anything
with
these
digester
for
20
years
now.
So
what
this
project
involves
here
is
we're
going
to
take
the
digesters
out
of
service
one
at
a
time,
because
one
must
be
in
service
at
all
time.
Q
They
contain
about
435
thousand
gallons
of
sludge
or
decomposing
goo,
and
it
will
then
apply
that
and
then
we'll
have
a
big
crane
come
in
we'll
lift
the
cover
off,
but
before
we
do
that,
we
got
to
construct
some
cribbing,
it's
a
very
expensive,
very
heavy
metal
cover
and
we
have
to
get
in
it
in
order
to
work
on
it.
So
they'll
construct
some
cribbing
they'll
set
this
cover
on
the
cribbing,
then
we
will
evaluate
the
metal
if
the
metal
is
deteriorated
to
where
it's
less
than
half
its
original
thickness.
Q
The
covers
are
no
good,
in
which
case
it
won't
be.
A
million-dollar
project
would
be
about
a
1.7
million,
but
we
don't
anticipate
seeing
that
hope.
We
don't
see
that
so
then,
from
there
on
with
a
little
sandblast
these
covers,
and
then
we'll
wreak
well,
if
they're
savable
well,
sandblast
them
and
recode
them,
and
then
they
will
also
inspect
the
interior
concrete
cuz.
We
can't
see
the
condition
of
that
till
you
take.
Q
The
tank
out
of
service
can
clean
it
and
now,
if
the
concrete
doesn't
need
to
be
recorded
and
any
repairs
to
it,
the
price
of
this
project
will
go
down
about
$200,000,
but
we
don't
know
what
we've
got
till
we
go
through
it
and
again
we'll
do
one
digester
and
then
the
other
one
and
some
of
the
valves
and
the
piping
or
seizing
up
or
you
just
can't
turn
them
anymore.
So
you
have
to
have
the
tank
out
of
service
and
so
we're
gonna
replace
some
valving
as
well.
Q
The
next
item,
$76,000,
is
the
bio
solids
design
engineering.
This
is
for
the
disposal
of
our
bio
solids.
You
know
we're
currently
doing
land
application,
that's
become
less
and
less
sustainable.
So
this
year
the
design
engineers
evaluated
some
options
and
the
most
cost-effective
option
for
us
as
a
screw
Paris
process.
You
know
so
we're
gonna
do
with
this
project.
Here
is
we're
going
to
take
the
existing
abandoned
preliminary
treatment
building
when
we
built
the
new
head
works
five
years
ago.
Q
The
building
was
good,
so
we
just
abandon
it
in
site
and
now
we're
gonna
retrofit
that
building
so
we'll
have
about
275,000
and
building
much
cheaper
than
a
brand
new
building
to
house.
This
process
purchase
the
equipment
and
then
we'll
be
switching
from
land
application
to
a
screw
press
process,
we'll
be
going
away
from
land,
applying
2
million
gallons
a
year
down
to
a
small
amount
of
solids
which
is
kind
of
moist.
Q
You
could
pick
it
up
and
squeeze
it,
but
you
can't
squeeze
water
out
of
it
and
that'll
go
to
the
landfill
where
we
can
use
it
out
there
so
that
product.
What
comes
in
and
goes
out
so
we're
gonna,
have
a
lot
more
sustainable
process
going
out
from
2
million
gallons
a
year
to
a
few
Roelofs.
You
know
a
month
going.
I
Q
We
look
yeah
right
now,
I
mean
we
all
our
eggs
in
one
basket
on
land,
and
then
we
also
looked
at
the
problem
was
with
the
we,
the
land
we
got.
This
close
to
us,
this
being
is
going
away
and
it'll
actually
land.
Now
that
we've
been
using
for
the
last
20
years
has
been
leased
out
the
farmers
retiring.
So
what
we
have
to
do,
one
of
the
things
they
looked
at
is
yeah.
Q
We
could
consist
in
land
application
and
contract
it
out
because
you
wouldn't
be
taking
it
one
in
two
miles
anymore,
but
you
might
be
taking
at
20
miles
to
find
people
that
want
it
and
looking
at
the
cost
of
that,
this
was
the
most
cost
effective
approach.
Our
best
approach
is
to
maintain
what
we've
got
right
now
is
to
continue
land
application
because
that's
very
cost
effective,
but
the
sustainability
is
the
issue.
So
we've.
G
Q
To
us,
so
we
we
wanted
want
to
maintain
that,
because
it's
you
well,
you
defer
this
cup
of
capital
expense
expenditure,
but
if
they
just
changed
their
mind
we
got
nothing.
Then
we
did
they
did
the
engineers
didn't
talk
to
people
that
could
contract
this
out
and
compared
the
cost
of
that
and
with
dewatering.
This
was
the
best
option
for
our
facility
first
thing
to
sustain
the
process.
How.
Q
Not
going
to
be
significant
I'm,
not
it's
gonna
be
going
in
Roelofs,
just
like
at
a
construction
site.
We've
got
those.
You
know:
roll
offs
at
a
construction
site,
we're
gonna,
be
using
containers
of
that
size
and
taking
out
probably
a
couple
containers
a
week,
as
opposed
to
two
million
gallons
in
an
ongoing
process.
J
Q
Well,
it
would
it
would
and
we
were
required
to
cover
the
garbage
weekly
with
soil
anyway,
so
we
would
put
this
down
first,
you
don't
want
stormwater
to
hit
this
and
leave
the
site
because
it
it
has
some
pollutants
to
it.
So
it
isn't
going
to
be
it
shouldn't
be
exposed
to
stormwater,
but
we
could
use
it
as
the
first
layer
before
we
put
the
soil
on.
Q
F
Q
Contact
I'll
call
the
state
on
it
and
see
I
know
I'm,
not
aware
of
any
the
solid
waste.
You
know,
we've
had
pretty
good
luck
with
grants,
but
this
I
don't
know
that
as
much
out
there
usually
they'll
give
you
an
srf
loan
as
opposed
to
a
grant,
but
we
can.
We
can
I
can
call
those
folks
at
the
state
what.
Q
The
next
place
we
come
to
then,
and
would
be
82,
which
is
the
industrial
pretreatment
section.
Just
one
sampler
and
minor
salary
and
health
benefit
adjustments.
Nothing.
We
need
to
talk
about
there
on
the
laboratory.
The
biggest
item
we
have
here
is
a
laboratory
rehabilitation
project,
and
this
one
we've
had
our
wastewater
engineers
have
given
us.
Q
This
estimate
I
did
work
with
building
inspector
or
building
official,
who
has
spent
some
time
also
in
the
clinical
maintenance
here
in
town
and
went
over
this
with
him
at
the
mayor's
request,
and
essentially
what
we
got
is
in
our
laboratory.
The
cabinets
are
rusting
through
and
the
steel
tracks
and
the
ceiling
they're
rusting
out-
and
so
this
in
the
this.
So
this
project
is
to
replace
the
cabinets
in
a
laboratory.
Q
There's
three
fume
hoods,
quite
a
lot
of
cabinets
that
are
rusted
out
and
paint
the
walls
and
recoat
the
floor
with
a
chemically
resistant,
epoxy
and
so
yeah.
This
will
be-
and
this
is
worst
case
scenario.
This
includes
the
cost
of
replacing
the
countertops.
The
chemically
resistant
countertops
are
fairly
expensive,
so
we
will
be
trying
to
save
Salvage
those
and
we
use
them
as
we
go
forward,
and
if
we
can,
then
that
price
would
go
down.
I
guess
next,
I
would
jump
to
page
88,
which
is
the
solid
waste
collection
subdivision
here.
Q
It's
just
you
see
the
fuel
costs
to
going
down
because
I
adjusted
those
line,
items,
salary
adjustments
in
just
three
hundred
and
three
hundred
gallon
450-gallon
in
ninety
five
gallon
containers.
Just
our
annual
purchases
they're
not
much
to
discuss
there.
I
would
jump
next,
then,
to
page
the
landfill
disposal
on
page
91,
and
here
we
spent
a
lot
of
fuel
out
there.
So
the
the
reduction
of
fuel
costs
is
a
little
more
significant
than
this
one
and
then
the
two
capital
items
are
our
landfill.
Permit
will
expire
next
June.
Q
The
DNR
requires
us
to
submit
an
application
form
six
months
prior
to
expiration,
and
this
is
a
lot
of
design
engineering
work.
Our
design
engineers
will
be
providing
the
state
with
our
design
information,
our
operating
plan,
construction
specifications
and
one
of
the
things
they
make
us
do
in
the
landfill
business
is
submit.
Cost
estimates
for
our
closure
and
post
closure
cost
and
the
which
is
the
cost
of
capping
the
landfill
and
then
after
is
capped
when
it's
full
monitoring
the
site
for
three
years
and
I
know.
Q
Finance
is
aware
that
they
make
us
the
city
set
aside
a
certain
portion
of
those
projected
expenditures
to
make
sure
the
city
is
financially
strong
enough
to
sustain
the
cost
of
closing
a
landfill
with
come
to
do,
and
so
that's
what
that's
going
and
then
the
other
item
here
would
be
this
landfill,
stormwater,
build-out
design,
we're
above
grade
and
sales,
one
in
two
right
now
putting
garbage.
While
we
build
our
next
cell
once
that
next
cell
is
fill,
degrade,
will
come
back
above
above
ground
and
we'll
be
filling
above-ground
space
putting
garbage
over
garbage.
Q
But
what
we've
got
to
do
before
we
get
to
that
point?
Is
we've
got
to
construct
the
stormwater
improvements
necessary
to
collect
and
convey
all
the
stormwater?
That's
going
to
be
shed
from
this
this
above
above
ground
waste
and
so
we're
designing
that
for
the
whole
landfill
next
year
and
then
what
we'll
do
is
the
following
year:
2018
we
will
construct
those
improvements
for
the
north
half
of
the
landfill,
which
will
be
where
the
waste
will
be
going
once
the
next
sales
field
and
we
go
above
grade
and
then
the
South
half
of
the
landfill.
Q
Those
improvements
will
be
pushed
down
the
year
of
the
several
years
down
the
line
to
the
next
cell.
We
build
like
cell
seven,
which
will
be
quite
a
ways
down
the
line
and
then
we'll
construct
the
South
half
of
those
approvals.
But
we've
got
to
build
someplace
for
that
water
to
go.
You
got
to
provide
the
improvements
to
collect
that
water
conveyed
off
site
and
keep
it
as
clean
as
possible
to
keep
that
water
out
of
your
garbage
cells.
So
hey.
C
C
Q
We
we've
done
that
to
a
certain
extent.
Well,
they
have
a
different
design.
It's
probably
there's
still
the
same
type
of
liner
in
a
similar
permit,
but
they're
doing
more
above-ground
or
probably
they're,
probably
in
their
active
cells.
They
filled
up
to
grade,
whereas
we're
still
we
haven't
got
all
of
ours
built,
so
we're
not
all
filled
agreed,
so
they
would
have
ever
been
that
landfill
now
and
all
for
a
year
for
five
years,
but
that
would
be.
That
would
be
what
that
is.
Mike
they're,
just
using
that's.
C
Q
Of
our
budget
to
talk
would
be
page
94,
and
this
would
be
the
recycling
in
here.
We've
just
got
some
lower
fuel
costs,
some
adjustments
of
salary
and
health
benefits,
and
then
new
recycling
containers
and
more
yard
waste
containers.
Just
the
annual
purchases,
no
no
capital
cost
coming
up
next
year,
just
be
good
Mike.
Q
This
year
we
had
a
neighbor
come
in
and
in
the
neighbor
was
a
willing
seller.
So
we
had
it
appraised,
and
so
we
have
an
option.
We
we
started
with
an
option
on
an
80
acre
piece
and
have
exercised
the
5
8
to
5
acre
purchasers
going
first,
who
are
buying
10
acres
contiguous
with
our
eastern
border.
So
that's
going
well,
that's
that'll!
That's
good!
To
have
that
group
moving
forward
the
future.
The
land
feels
probably
got
40
years
in
it,
but
probably
is
in
less
than
15
years.
Q
Q
Right
now
it's
just
we
have
so
little.
It's
just
not
cost-effective
to
do
anything,
but
we've
got
in
our
plan
a
few
years
down
the
line
to
have
that.
The
engineers
that
did
that
gas
study
for
us
to
revalue
I
think
it
was
five
years
out
yet
that
they
would
take
a
look
at
the
cost.
The
projected
cost
for
a
landfill
gas
system
and
see
if
it's
more
feasible,
it's
a
matter
of
the
economics.
Aren't
there.
Q
B
P
V
Basically
of
our
accomplishments
of
this
year's
by
the
end
of
the
year,
we
should
be
98
percent
completed
the
new
facility,
we're
evaluating
and
restructuring
policies
for
this
new
facility.
Gonna
continue
to
bright,
provide
quality
group
fitness
classes
which
right
now,
that
is
our
probably
our
most
popular
important
program
of
our
facility
now,
and
it
will
continue
when
we
move
into
the
new
one,
continue
to
have
record
numbers
of
senior
members
join
a
facility,
and
that
is
through
silver
and
5th
and
silver
sneaker
insurance
program,
which
is
just
they.
V
We
get
more
members
join
every
month
and
then
maintain
our
current
facility
up
to
the
end
of
the
year
as
we
move
out,
which
is
hard
because
we're
just
we
struggle
at
times.
You
know
we
want
to
keep
things
up
to
date
or
not
up
to
date,
but
continue
to
move
and
for
our
members
and
the
facility
itself,
but
then
also
we're
moving
out
in
a
couple
months.
So
we
just
don't
want
to
put
a
lot
of
money
into
it.
V
The
goals
for
2017
open
up
the
brand
new
hundred
four
thousand
square
foot
state-of-the-art
facility
and
I've
been
in
pretty
much
every
facility
in
Minnesota,
North,
Dakota,
South,
Dakota
and,
and
it's
gonna
be
the
nicest
facility
until
probably
the
next
new
ones
built.
Williston
has
a
outstanding
facility.
V
Programs
for
our
members
and
provide
ongoing
customer
service
for
current
and
new
members,
and
then
goals
for
18th
and
Beyond
provide
up-to-date
fitness
programming,
as
as
it
changes
from
year
to
year,
which
it
always
it's
just
new
stuff.
Coming
comes
our
way.
Every
year
keep
our
exercise
equipment,
replaced
and
updated
on
a
timely
basis,
and
that's
always
a
challenge
and
then
provide
our
fitness
instructors
and
proper
training.
Outgoing
education
ongoing
education
to
meet
the
needs
of
our
members
and
just
continue
to
keep
our
the
new
facility
in
clean
good
shape.
So
that's
that.
V
Compared
to
what
I've
been
here
in
the
past
years
and
and
for
revenue,
you
know
we're
jumping
almost
50
percent
$438,000,
probably
a
hundred
three
hundred
eighty
seven
dollars
of
that
will
be
from
membership
revenue
and
I
was
very
conservative.
Shelling
I
discussed
that
we
wanted
to
be
conservative
on
the
revenue
side,
and
but
we
did,
we
increase
membership
rates
for
the
cost
and,
as
we
anticipate
quite
a
few
new
members,
but
I
was
conservative
than
that
jumping
down
to
expenditures.
V
V
I
will
get
into
that
more
detailed
if
you
wish
to
and
that,
but
our
whole
budget
has,
as
these
expenditures
has
gone
up,
two
hundred
fifty
seven
thousand
dollars
as
I
mentioned
personal
services,
190,
Center
expense
and
all
these
are
due
to
the
new
or
the
far
majority
are
due
to
the
new
facility.
So
I
I
can
get
into
my
own
details
or
if
you
have
questions
whatever
you
prefer
to
do,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
V
V
I
I
have
a
a
network
group
that
will
not
respond
every
time
because
I
think
they're
getting
tired
of
me,
but
a
facility
Ian
Grand
Forks,
two
facilities
in
Fargo
and
then
the
YMCA
and
in
Aberdeen
that
and
also
facility
in
Willmar
that
I
sent
out
group
or
a
question
to
these
individuals
and
on
the
whole
they're
pretty
good
at
returning,
because
they
all
have
facilities
very
similar
to
the
size
of
what
we.
What
we're
getting
so
John.
F
It
is
probably
a
rhetorical
question,
but
I've
you
said
you're
being
conservative
on
the
revenue
side.
I
understand
it
would
expect
that
on
the
expense
side
were
comfortable
that
work
that
we've
captured
and
allowed,
for
whatever
I
mean
all
the
additional
new
expenses
I
mean.
Are
we
being
in
if
anything,
on
the
high
side
on
the
expenses
or
any
comments
on
that?
No.
V

I
know
I
loved
every
minute,
dude
I'm
just
yeah
no,
but
this
was
by
far
the
hardest
budget
to
put
together
of
anything
that
we've
done
so
far
this
year
in
the
budget
process.
Because
of
the
unknowns
and
I
will
tell
you
that
John
has
a
salary
adjustment
of
hundred
ninety
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
dollars.
We
don't
know
if
that's
gonna
be
the
correct
number
or
not.
We
really
don't.
A
But
what
I
told
John
is
that
you
know:
let's
get
this
thing
up
and
running
and
and
if
we
it's
easier
to
add
than
it
is
to
tell
people
that
we,
you
know
we
gotta,
let
you
go
because
we
don't
need
this.
Many
people,
so
I
I
did
tell
him
that
it's
so
much
easier
to
go
that
route
and
I.
Think
when
you
look
at
your
utilities,
you
know
I,
think
you're
gonna
be
pretty
much
spot-on.
What
they
look
at,
what
the
guys
have
told
you,
because
we.
A
G
V
Look
at
how
many
members
you
know
I
talked
to
a
number
of
people
have
talked
to
me
that
they've
never
been
a
member
before,
but
my
god,
when
that
opens
up
we're,
gonna
join
you
know
and
and
and
then
I
feel
we
get
a
good
number
of
our
members
that
will
quit
in
the
spring
and
rejoin
the
fall
and
I
think
they're
gonna
stay
here
around
and
that's
I
think
we
need
a
lot
of
people
that
will
stay
with
us.
So
just.
C
C
I'm
just
saying
it
so
did
you
know
that's
the
thing,
and
then
you
mentioned
that
the
the
air
conditioning
we
have
full
control
over
that
in
those
gyms,
because
it's
isolated
in
there
so
we'll
just
have
to
learn
how
to
use
the
building,
how
to
run
the
building
most
effectively.
So
our
first
year
is
going
to
be
a
big
learning
curve.
It
really
is
a
year
from
now.
Well,
we'll
know
a
lot
more,
so
it.
A
Will
be
an
end
just
so
you'll
understand
when
we
get
to
the
park
and
Rec
view,
you
will
see
some
revenue
side
coming
in
off
of
those
office
facilities
because
we
just
cannot
afford
to
let
anybody
just
use
it
for
nothing.
You
know,
because
you
take
a
look
at
and
I
don't
want
to
pick
on
anybody,
but
the
schools.
D
A
Know
you're
charged
every
time
that
you
use
a
school
gymnasium
I.
Think
what
we're
looking
at
when
you,
when
you
get
to
the
the
Park
and
Rec
site,
we're
probably
going
to
be
charged
in
the
same
dollar
month
that
the
schools
are
charging
us.
You
know
to
use
the
facility,
so
we
have
to
be
aware
that
there
are
costs
associated
with
this.
That's
great.
I
I
V
Know
they
blew
it
out
of
the
water
we
averaged
past
five
years,
250
to
300
new
contracts
new
members
a
year
and
that,
but
we
get
a
number
of
will
drop
to
because
of
don't
use
or
they
move
you
know
or
they
for
the
summertime
in
that
and
I
only
budget.
For
three
hundred
and
fifty
fifty
four
new
members.
V
You
know
very
conservative
but
I'd
rather
be
that
way
and
and
have
a
you
know
the
extreme
coming
that,
but
we
did
raise
our
rates
and
that
the
two
questions
that
I
get
hit
all
the
time
them.
You
know
the
most
is
a.
When
are
you
gonna
open
and
are
you
raising
the
rates
and
yes,
we're
gonna
raise
them,
but
we
feel
you
know
our
board
the
rec
center
board,
we
discussed
it,
but
then
Shelley
and
I
and
the
mayor.
V
D
A
And
one
of
the
things
too
I
know
that
the
CVB
has
gotten
has
approached
me
and
asked
me
if
there's
some
way,
we
could
give
some
of
these
groups
that
come
to
Watertown,
like
we've,
got
the
Republican
Party's
coming.
We
got
the
coroner's
coming,
you
know.
If
we
can,
if
we
can
offer
them
something
you
know
pass,
you
know
five
dollars
or
whatever
it
might
be
to
come
in
that
they
could
work
out
in
the
facility
on
one
day,
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
can
do.
V
K
E
V
We
are
going.
The
thing
is
the
parking
records,
it
won't,
be
it
renting
to
that
facility
to
everybody,
including
us,
I
mean
you
know
we
have.
They
have
four
gyms.
We
have
one
but
there's
times
we're
going
to
be
using
there
during
the
week
and
then
especially
events,
and
you
know,
I
just
tend
to
spay
paying
rent
like
like
everybody
else,
and
that
so
we're
gonna
do
a
wait.
E
V
B
Think
to
to
start
with
we're,
we're
gonna,
just
leave
it
in
that
budget
and
then
we're
just
gonna
keep
track
of
it,
how
much
manpower,
how
much
cleaning
supplies
and
then
based
on
how
much
he
uses
the
gyms.
The
utility
costs
will
will
kind
of
make
it
work
at
the
end,
because
the
the
Park
and
Rec
is
really
getting
the
revenue
for
renting
out
that
floor
space,
and-
and
so
you
know,
we
just
we
have
to
kind
of
get
through
this
to
see.
B
A
Exactly
correct
because
the
Park
and
Rec
was
included
in
their
budget
dollars
to
have
a
cleaning
person
clean
cleaning
personnel
up
there
and
we
thought
well
with
John's
crew.
They
could
do
that
and
then
there
would
just
be
dollars
transferred
from
the
park
and
Rec
to
the
community
center
for
those
for
those
facilities.
It.
G
E
The
other
was
a
comment
put
on.
We
went
up
to
Grand
Forks
compared
the
rates
that
they
had
compared
to
where
you
are
at
I
mean
the
adjustments
that
you're
making
you're
still,
and
they
didn't
obviously
have
any
problem,
because
the
the
place
that
we
went
and
also
the
overshot,
whatever
the
expectations
were
on
and.
V
E
V
D
A
B
A
A
A
A
My
mayor
and
city
council,
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
changes
on
here.
You
know,
of
course,
there
is
the
salary
adjustments
that
the
council
and
everybody
was
getting.
The
insurance
premiums
were
down
Shelley
again
she
changed
the
the
allocating
method
of
doing
that.
We
do
have
a
little
increase
in
the
you
know,
travel
to
workshops
and
conferences.
A
We
have
gone
to
more
of
these
conferences
and
I
think
it's
important
that,
whether
it
be
just
the
mayor
or
whether
a
couple
of
council
people
go
to
these
things,
I
would
encourage
you
to
go
to
the
municipal
leaks.
The
it
really
is
very
interesting
Brad.
You
just
went
to
one
in
in
Rapid
City
when
you're
out
there
and
it's
very
informative
for
you.
So
we
did
have
some
increases
in
the
travel
and
workshops
special
projects.
There
was
a
small
increase
in
special
projects.
A
You
know
we
have
things
that
pop
up
pop
up
all
the
time
that
they're
asking
the
council
for
for
their
special
projects
or
the
mayor
for
special
projects.
So
we
did
add
just
a
little
bit
to
that.
But
overall,
our
our
budget
stayed
relatively
flat.
The
total
budget
was
a
point,
six
percent,
which
is
relatively
relatively
small.
So
if
you
got
any
questions
on
them,
I'm
sure
try
to
answer
them
for
you,
I.
F
Would
like
to
clarify
one
thing:
if
somebody's
looking
at
the
the
percent
and
the
dollar
increase.
Remember
that
that's
from
the
budget
that
the
budget
that
we
passed
last
year.
But
then
we
remember,
we
had
a
late
adjustment
to
the
mayor
salary
so
so
that
that
10,000
is
based
upon
the
first
budge
that
we
passed
before
the
adjustments
of
the
mayor
salary.
That.
