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
about
being
here.
So
at
this
time,
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
and
we'll
do
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance.
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
to
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
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
department's
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,
we're
doing
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
gold
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,
even
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
heads
finish
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.
Here,
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
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.
C
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
that
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.
C
C
C
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.
C
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.
C
They
have
great
service
at
one
of
our
area,
businesses,
a
restaurant,
so
we
can
get
that
real-time
and
turn
around
and
kick
that
back
out,
and
that
goes
on
the
opposite
side
to
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.
D
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
we
and
I
read
that
the
department
description
it
says
it's
not
to
be
used
for
staffing
operation
of
such
facility
and
the
promotion
and
advertising
of
the
city.
But
that's
that
last
part.
The
promotion
and
advertising
of
the
city
is
what
we're
doing
with
a
lot
of
this
correct
it.
The
description.
A
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
costs,
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
we're.
C
That
is
probably
one
thing
that
I
should
mention
to
folks
and
I.
Think
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.
C
D
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
and
sixty
seven
thousand
as
long
as
I
understand
it.
As
long
as
we
meet
the
criteria
in
the
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.
G
C
H
C
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
cooking
on
campus
Co
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.
C
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
B
C
B
B
I
I
I
We
asked
for
the
272
7,
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.
I
I
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.
I
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
out
immediately
to
them
thanking
them
for
their
interest
in
water
tone.
I
It'll
also
be
managed
if
people
want
to
opt
out,
so
we
don't
have
to
constantly
be
going
in
there
manually
and
doing
that,
and
then
we
will
have
a
an
inclusive
retainer.
So
anything
we
need
to
do
from
emails
to
newsletters
anything.
We
can
have
click
ray
and
help
us
with
that
and
there's
some
setup
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%
of
everything
that
we
put
out
that
we
track
is
mobile.
I
I
There
was
$5,000
budgeted
for
travel,
shows
in
2017,
I
have
20,000
$300
budgeted
for
travel,
shows
and
I've
broken
down
into
my
budget
when
I
rearranged
everything
so
there's
categories,
conventions
and
meetings,
hunting
and
fishing,
sports
and
leisure
art
and
culture.
Out
of
that,
the
most
of
it
is
going
to
be
spent
for
sports.
We
do
have
a
show
we're
going
to
do
in
Denver
for
the
first
time
and
then
we'll
do
doesn't
fast.
We've
only
ever
done.
I
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
Jen
Salaam
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.
I
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.
I
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
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.
I
J
I
Professional
development
is
is
including
the
website
development,
the
monthly
retainer,
that's
all-inclusive,
the
software
setup
software
monthly
fee
and
also
the
mass
they
call
it
rain,
mail,
email
marketing
and
then
the
monthly
usage,
and
also
the
things
that
they
will
do
for
us
as
they
were.
They
there's
templates
and
I
just
send
her
what
I
want
and
she
actually
puts
it
all
together,
I
prove
it
and
they
they
send
that
out
and
that
the
only
other
way
to
do
that
is
to
hire
somebody.
I
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.
G
H
E
E
I
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.
I
I
G
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
there.
Maybe
150
200
people,
I
would
say,
and
what
were
understanding
is
that
we're
gonna
be
working
that
towards
close
to
four
or
500
people.
So
we're
excited
for
that,
and
we
only
had
15
minutes
to
talk
and
and.
A
I
I
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
D
B
B
B
Any
other
questions
on
the
BBB.
Okay,
if
not
we'll
move
on
to
the
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
three
thousand
and
then
the
Resource
Center
was
an
increase
of
four
thousand
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,
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
too
early
on
that.
That's.
K
Part
of
that,
because
I
told
him
not
to
ask
for
any
more
I
mean
that
that
was
substantial.
You
know
I
would
keep
us
within
our
budget,
so
we
we
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
and
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
drew.
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
that
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
would
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
year's
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
McMahon,
my
captain
and
he
oversees
a91
Center
so
he's
integral
in
that
budget
and
Tim
oversees
an
animal
control
line.
So
it's
a
pretty
inert
goal
that
he's
involved
with
that.
So
I
did
have
Scott
here
tonight.
If
you
had
any
questions
when
we
get
to
9
1,
but
just
real
quick
going
through
the
the
items
here
on
your
proposed
budget
book
that
first
page
there
that's
39,
imine
I,
think
that's
probably
what
your
page
would
be.
L
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.
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.
L
So
just
want
to
point
that
out
on
page
40,
you
can
see
the
budget
summary
beginning
with
the
salary
adjustments
and
health
benefits.
Those
are
you're,
gonna
see
those
with
all
departments,
so
those
numbers
they're
just
Shellie-
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.
L
We
did
ask
for
an
increase
of
$2,300
because
maintenance
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
that
just
comes
up
the
motor
fuel
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
k-9
program.
L
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.
We
have
asked
to
replace
four
patrol
cars
that
would
be
two
cars
and
two
of
the
SUV's.
When
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.
L
The
other
two
cars
will
remain
with
the
police
department.
We
use
them
as
travel
cars
or
detective
cars.
We
tried
to
get
as
many
miles
out
of
them
as
we
can.
The
next
one
you'll
see
there's
the
purchase
of
body
cameras.
We
have
applied
for
a
grant
through
the
straight
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
it's
there.
L
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
fortunate
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
cameras
and
if
the
fund
wouldn't
purchase
them
for
us,
you
know
the
CIP
fund
would
so
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
10
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
you
sent
it
and
they
send
you
another
one:
it's
it
was
as
high
as
twenty
thousand
one
time
we
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's
attorney's
office,
it's
just
a
click
of
a
couple
buttons
right
now:
we've
got
a
records.
Person
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
our
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
Glen.
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
a
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
fly
that
so
we
actually
had
it
flying
above
the
building
during
our
national
I.
Don't
got
some
nice
video
above
there.
D
L
D
Two:
okay!
Yes,
yes,
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.
D
L
I
think
the
biggest
thing
is
manpower,
Mike
and
I
didn't
feel
that
was
necessarily
put
in
for
an
ex-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
this.
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
proper
as
we'd
like
to.
We
have
one
dedicated
full-time
drug
officer
and
detective,
and
then
we've
got
one
that
kind
of
helps
off
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
officer
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.
We've
got
some
meeting
rooms
that
we
could
possibly
make
into
an
office
for
one
of
them
if
they
can
authorize
another
employee.
A
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
a
reason
to
stop
them
if
they
get
a
headlight
out
tail
out
whatever
they
deploy
the
dog.
L
D
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.
Think.
G
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
as
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,
we
have
six
per
shift
and
then,
if
you
give
a
vacation
or
something
you're
down
to
five,
so
that's
a
pretty
reason.
L
Number
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
certainly
something
we'll
be
taking
a
look
at
through
the
course
of
next
year
into
the
next
year's
budget.
K
J
L
Have
a
good
number
free
on
that
Bruce
I
know
we
lost
one
last
year,
moved
back
to
Minnesota,
where
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.
L
K
G
Fun
question,
and
maybe
Connie
knows
it
better
than
you
do,
but
I
noticed
that
you
had
the
11th
annual
camp
chance,
which
I
think
is
absolutely
amazing
and
I've
worked
there
at
several
times.
One
hundred
and
sixty-three
kids
this
year
do
you
have
any
idea
how
many
have
been
touched
by
that
over
the
last
11
years,
yeah.
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,
seized
and
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
the
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.
It's
been
having
a
few
issues.
L
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,
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.
L
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
aluminum
box.
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.
L
Hydraulically
litter
I
think
it's
controlled
by
a
cable
drops
down
to
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.
Our
animal
control
guy
have
any
back
issues
by
trying
to
lift
these
big
heavy
animals
up
into
there,
especially
if
they're
not
real,
happy
to
be
going
in
there
to
begin
with
so
and
I.
Guess,
that's
it
for
that
budget
and.
A
What
I
actually
do,
if
you
remember
the
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.
No,
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.
J
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,
one
is
eight
inches.
They're
gonna
get
plowable
and
it's
two
two
and
a
half
some
drifting.
D
L
Okay,
I'm
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
emergency.
Emergency
medical
dispatch,
E
and
E
FD
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
a
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.
We
take
we
listed
out
by
county
there
for
you,
so
you
can
see
that
and
then,
of
course,
the
total
down
at
the
bottom.
L
Just
we
go
through
every
year
we
see
what
we've
got
for
meeting
is
contract,
what
we
need
to
keep
and
we
need
to
increase
that
by
five
thousand
dollars
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
center.
If
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
we
held
off
this
year.
We
get
a
report
from
that
machine.
L
It's
a
machine,
that's
basically
a
computer
and
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
going
to
kind
of
wait
and
do
that
towards
the
end
of
next
year,
but
that's
why
we
budgeted
for
it.
L
The
next
thing
there
is
the
address
point
layer.
What
that
is,
is
that's
the
mapping
system
for
the
9-1-1
center
right
now
addressing
is
done
by
the
road
centers,
which
means
out
in
front
of
your
house
and
your
road
there's
a
dot
that
would
show
up
on
our
map
and
that
dot
doesn't
necessarily
tell
us
which
of
the
couple
houses
that
it's
around.
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.
L
If
you
go
with
the
high
headdress
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.
We
found
out
quickly
when
the
state
started
doing
their
update
to
the
911
system,
that
most
cities
are
address,
point
layer,
they're,
not
centered
road
centerline.
L
Why
Watertown
never
was
are
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
gonna
add
a
monitor,
so
we
need
a
quad,
a
4
mount.
So
you
come
out
I'm
up
up
here
down
here.
L
A
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
1/4,
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
Sun
set
goes
through
it,
if
it
doesn't
change,
it
goes
down
to
75
cents
rather
than
down
a
quarter.
Is
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
that
visit
with
Shelley
on
and
and
them-
and
you
were
in
the
room
when
she
mention
putting
that
extra
50,000,
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
county's
participation.
We
started
out
at
80,
85
90
95.
Now
we're
asking
for
a
hundred
percent.
We've
got
some
of
those
contracts
back
so.
A
K
A
L
D
One
one
of
the
problems
is
even
if
it
stays
at
the
hundred
percent
of
100
of
dollar
25.
Today
is
the
actual
total
number
of
cell
phone
users
in
South.
Dakota
is
pretty
flat,
so
people
buy
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.
D
Unto
itself,
even
if
we
continue
the
dollar
twenty
five
we're
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
Of
pay
and
all
those
type
of
things
goes
like
this,
but
that
dollar
twenty
five
stays
stagnant.
So
that's
one
things:
we're
gonna
have
to
work
with
legislation
and
I.
Think
most
of
you
probably
know,
but
I
do
sit
on
the
state's
9-1-1
task
force,
the
committee,
and
so
that's
one
of
things.
We're
studying.
We've
got
an
attorney
on
staff.
L
E
L
E
L
F
A
Happens
if
I
made
sure
that's
kind
of
what
I
was
just
alluding
to
is
that
we
had
opened
the
discussions
about
the
coming
and
I
think
instead
of
going
to
the
hundred
percent,
they
would
like
to
put
in
a
dollar
amount
that
they
can
fund
and
just
they
can
budget
for
that.
So
I
think
that's
where
that's
gonna
go
sounds.
L
A
B
M
Thank
you,
everyone
is
as
Shelly
mentioned.
We
both
have
fire
and
EMS
the
ambulance
and
the
fire
out
of
the
same.
We
operate
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
the
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.
M
So
with
that,
on
the
on
the
fire
side,
we
run
about
400
fire
calls
a
year,
and
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
homeland
security.
We
also
provide
assistance
out
at
the
Regional
Airport
and,
amongst
a
few
other
things.
M
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
burnt.
Our
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.
M
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
approved
in
and
on
the
funding
and
stuff.
So
we
can
kind
of
start
taking
shape
on
that
later,
this
fall.
M
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
in
the
maintenance
fees
and
things
like
that,
working
with
other
city
departments
and
things.
One
thing
probably
we
have
to
work
out
a
little
bit
is
the
appearance
of
the
the
training
center.
We've
got
a
little
bit
of
work
to
do
they're,
hiding
some
of
these
props
and
this
dis
equipment
and
stuff
and
making
sure
everything's
painted
up
cleaned
up.
M
Mold,
looks
nice
and
and
painted
up.
So
that's
that's
some
of
the
things
that
we
were
looking
at
working
on
in
the
future.
So
we're
pretty
excited
about
that.
The
other
thing
that
we've
started
moving
into
is
a
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.
M
Aren't
one
from
your
radio
up
to
your
your
headset
and
as
you're
crawling
through
tight
area
in
a
confined
space
or
a
fire.
These
wires
can
catch
up
and
entangle
your
firefighters.
So
we
are.
We
are
phasing
out
some
of
our
old
air
packs,
so
we
can
take
full
use
of
the
current
equipment
and,
as
these
are
coming
to
replace
in
a
truck
at
a
time,
so
we'll
have
a
lot
of
the
old
air
packs.
M
And
the
other
thing
we
worked
on
this
year
is
the
apparatus
replacement
plan
in
the
fire
site,
and
what
that
is.
Is
we
developed
this?
It's
a
working
plan
within
our
department
that
we
take
all
of
our
equipment
of
all
of
our
fire
equipment,
analyst
equipment
all
of
our
apparatus.
If
you
will
and
we
we
try
and
see
what
we
have
and
what
we
think
we'll
need
into
the
future,
and
we
put
them
all
document
them
all
down
on
paper.
M
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
need
to
plan
and
it's
really
helped
our
department
make
sure
we
we're
always
ready
to
in
research
to
the
best
of
our
ability.
The
the
other
portion
of
that
is
the
the
funding
and
that
is
that
can
be
funded
in
different
ways.
M
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.
It
is
really
not
as
important
to
me,
as
is
making
sure
me
very
well
prepared
when
this
piece
of
equipment
comes
down
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.
M
So
that's
what
we've
been
working
on
and
and
I
think
we've
had
we've
copies
of
that
and
we
that'll
change
from
you
here,
but
that
we
have
if
anybody
doesn't
have
a
copy
and
once
it
digitally
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.
H
M
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
work.
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.
M
The
other
thing
that,
where
we
started
working
as
smoke
detectors
within
the
community
trying
to
front
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
where
we're
getting
some
of
those
dollars,
and
they
also
give
us
a
very
good
reduced
costs
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.
M
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
own
it,
you
have
access
to
getting
these
detectors
up.
If
you
haven't,
have
none
and
a
lot
of
it's
in
the
older
homes,
it's
not
the
newer
homes.
M
H
M
M
So
that
is
that
one
equipment
maintenance
on
fire,
the
fire
trucks-
it's
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
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.
M
That's
similar
problems
with
some
of
the
some
of
the
generators
and
the
equipment
and
and
on
the
buildings
and
stuff
just
just
keeping
up
as
these
buildings
are
certain
to
be,
and
you
know
that
five
and
six-year-old
range
some
things
that
we're
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
especially
around
the
exterior
of
the
building.
M
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.
A
Know
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
interesting.
E
A
M
M
We
have
the
not
unique
thing
about
both
of
our
buildings:
our
truck
rooms
have
in-floor
heat
and
that
that
saves
a
sellout,
a
dollar.
So
when
we
estimated
these
utilities
out,
when
the
building's
first
got
built,
you
know
we
estimated
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
3,000
and
we
didn't
have
an
increase
in
for
monthly
service.
With
with
that
one.
M
We
have
all
of
our
ambulances,
AppData
animal
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.
So
so,
basically,
a
lot
of
those
are
kosta
with
those
also
our
fifth
or
LifePak
15s
also
have
a
modem
in
there.
So
we
can
send
up.
The
12
leaves
right
right
to
the
doctor
at
the
hospital
and
prepare
them
for
the
cath
lab
some
capital
purchases
a
little
bit
further
down
on
the
paper.
M
E
M
Of
feet
of
holes,
we
have
turnout
gear
and
the
SCBA
equipment.
We've
we've
inventory
to
all
that,
and
we
put
a
life
cycle
on
them
in.
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.
M
But
we
basically
know
what
all
we
have
and
I
think
in
doing
this,
we
we
know
are
some
of
our
our
hose
and
nozzles
is
starting
to
show
its
age.
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.
M
Just
because
our
our
inventory
is
is
up
there
and
it's
probably
a
little
higher
and
it
needs
to
be
wanted
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.
So
it's
been
work
good
for
us,
but
we
we
need
to
start
phasing
some
of
that
out.
So
we'll
have
some
of
that
coming
through.
So
let's
see
that's
about
it
on
the
capital
purchases.
M
C
A
That
you
have,
you,
know,
check
their
fire
extinguishers
and
fill
their
air
packs
and
do
things
for
them.
If
you
want
to
just
touch
on
that,
and
if
you
would
also
touch
on
your
advisory
committee,
I
think
that's
been
really
good
for
your
department.
You
know
we're
absolutely
you've
got.
Is
it
five
five
or
six
on
the
advisory?
Yes,.
A
M
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
the
the
gaming
floor.
M
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
eight
they.
M
When,
when
someone
gets
hurt
or
injured
or
sick
on
the
casino
floor,
they
can
actually
take
those
those
folks
off
the
casino
floor
out
in
the
public's
eye,
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
masks.
Things
like
that
we
can
just
replace.
H
M
So
the
patient
doesn't
have
to
pay
twice
for
something.
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
the
manual
cots
when
we
switch
over
to
power
cuts
and
the
value
of
those
cots
are
about
200
bucks.
M
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.
D
M
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
went
up
also
in
ordinance
now,
we've
we've
started
the
fire
prevention
side
of
things
where
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,
set
up
right
down
those
buildings
for
plan
review,
sprinkler
systems,
fire
alarm
system,
so
some
of
those
come
from
those,
and
we
also
have
the
user.
E
B
D
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
about
you
know:
15%
increase
in
cost
per
resident.
What
what's
driving?
That
number
mean?
I
I
see
what
you've
got
in
here,
but
it
seems
like
a
higher
number,
then
yeah
I.
We.
M
J
A
C
M
If
you
remember
right,
we
had
we
had
a
there's,
a
high
flying
item
that
was
growing
and
it
seemed
like
anything
that
we
couldn't
find
the
right
budget
line
item
before
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
earmark
it
a
little
more
precise
than
probably
what
it
was.
M
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
try
and
identify
where
they
really
should
be
going
instead
of
others.
H
M
O
O
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
with
runs
around
1200
ollars
a
year
Bruce,
and
then
we
have
some
inter
MT
stuff
that
comes.
Do
each
employees
around
$25
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.
E
M
So
I
would
I
would
like
to
just
mention
what
the
merit
asked
about.
The
advisories
are
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?
M
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
N
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,
the
mowing
and
the
equipment
out
there.
You
know
the
after
a
burn
and
so
on,
but.
M
O
M
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.
They
don't
have
a
chance
to
to
feel
that
heat
firsthand
and
and
there's
not
a
lot
of
heat.
M
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
in
a
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.
So
there'll
be
windows
in
mazes
and
things
like
that
and
stairwells,
and-
and
we
can
switch
it
up
a
lot.
So
they
can't
get
used
to
something.
The.
N
M
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
their
Department
in
and
in
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.
M
M
We
didn't
really
have
much
of
our
grass
budget,
so
we're
working
on
some
that
really
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.
M
A
H
M
G
Have
a
comment
and
fire
then
smoke
detector
program,
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
or
not,
but
a
couple.
Your
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
when
they
went
through.
All
of
our
facility
are
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
M
M
Have
a
limited
dollars
in
our
inner
funds
and
well
what
I
think
we
were
looking
for
somewhere
to
get
the
two
hundred
fifty
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
grant
depending
on.
If
the
grants
are
out
there,
that's
been
a
year-to-year,
we
can
probably
grab
another
50
or
so
a
lot
of
our
lot
of
our
education
and
outreach
dollars
and
then
so
we're
looking
for.
M
H
C
M
Okay,
on
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.
M
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
been
impressive
units
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.
H
M
Run
into
one
time
before
we
got
him
that
before
he
got
the
additional
ones
that
we
had
to
do
it
manually
and
it
frees
up
another
man
and
it
can
really
do
a
lot
of
good
for
that
patient.
So
it's
a
great
improvement
in
patient
care,
the
other
things
that
we've
done
on
EMS
Ida,
the
the
public
access
different
leader
program.
M
So
we're
doing
that
and
the
only
other
big
thing
that
we're
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
a
units
that
are
causing
us:
some
maintenance
equipment,
maintenance
problems
and,
and
they
have
these
six
liter
Diesel's
that
haven't
worked
out
real
well
for
us.
M
So
anyway,
long
story
short
we're
looking
at
what
the
cost
savings
would
be
on
looking
at
a
remote
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.
H
K
M
D
C
M
Let
me
start
up
on
the
goods
and
services
of
the
eight
hundred.
Ninety
thousand:
that's
what
we
collect
in
revenue
for
our
budget
for
road
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
stays
stable
with
the
personal
services
that
went
up
a
pretty
good
amount
and
that's
80
percent
of
our
budget
is
under
the
ambulance,
ID
and
20%
some
of
the
fire
site.
M
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
did
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.
H
C
M
M
Software
we
had
some
software
increases
$1,700
and
some
of
those
are
what
we
did
to
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
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.
M
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
mined
these
supplies
in
bulk,
just
along
with
a
lot
of
other
big
services,
and
that
saves
us
quite
a
bit
of
money.
M
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
cloud
up
there.
It's
a
chair
that
folds
right
down
into
a
bed
and
works
well
and
take
corners.
M
We
can
strap
them
right
in
the
other
thing
is
some
back
boards
in
splints,
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
IT
now,
and
those
folks
are
going
to
help
us
with
our
computer
replacement
and
help
us
on
and
making
sure
we're
getting
exactly
what
we
need
with
with
our
computers.
So
that's
all
I
am
on
EMS.
J
O
J
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
D
M
M
Or
yes,
we
would.
We
would
like
to
see
it
benefit
our
reduce
in
our
overtime
and
that's
the
main
goal
for
trying
to
bring
that
back
and
giving
us.
You
know
some
help
there.
In
the
during
the
busy
times
we
can
put
some
staff
on
some
extra
staff,
turn
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
and
they're
fully
fledged
EMTs.
