No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
A
lot
of
comments
we
got
about
parking
and
a
lot
of
comments
about
the
width
of
the
streets.
Those
were
ones
that
sort
of
you'll
see
pop
up
numerous
times
over
over
and
over,
but
that
gives
you
sort
of
a
good
good
look
at
where,
where
folks
heads
are
that
that
had
that
skin
in
the
game
in
the
downtown
area
Mike,
you
look
like
you,
have
a
question.
Well,.
B
A
A
C
C
D
E
D
D
E
B
B
E
F
Guess
I
will
comment
done.
You
know
my
observations.
I
use
those
intersections
daily,
coming
to
work
and
back
and
and
then
usually
I'm
in
countering
those
intersections
when
it's
fairly
busy.
You
know
right
at
noon
right
at
5:00
and
I
really
see
a
backlog
of
cars
piled
up
waiting
to
to
come
in
and
in
fact,
the
only
time
I
have
seen.
That
is
when
it's
a
green
light
at
First,
Avenue
and
everybody
is
rushed
up
to
the
Kemp
intersection.
That's
about
the
only
time
that
there's
more
than
one
or
two
cars
sitting
at
that
intersection.
F
So
I
think
the
flashing
red
has
shown
that
if
we
choose
to
go
away
from
a
lighted,
intersection
or
controlled
intersection
that
it
would
function
adequately-
and
you
know
there
will
be
times
when
when
there
will
be
more
than
a
couple
cars
sitting
at
the
intersection.
But
certainly
it's
not
going
to
be
catastrophic
event.
If
we
did
go
to
stop
signs
and
and
for
that
matter,
if
we
do
go
to
two-way
streets
and
continue
to
use
the
stop
signs,
we
will
have
a
significant,
larger
investment
in
upgrading
those
lights
to
get
lights.
F
A
It's
and
I
were
just
having
a
conversation,
the
difference
between
streets
and
roads
and
streets.
When
we
talk
about
economic
development
has
to
do
with
the
impact,
it
has
slowing
people
down
getting
people
to
invest,
spending
time,
spending
a
few
hours,
roads,
point
A
to
point
B
and
right
now,
I
think
if
you
stood
down
with
a
radar
when
all
of
those
lights
are
green
on
Kemp
Avenue,
you
would
find
it.
It
has
a
road,
it's
from
point
A
to
point.
A
B
F
Well,
not
all
not
substantial
you.
Basically,
you
have
to
erase
the
parking
on
one
side
to
switch
it
over
for
traffic
from
the
opposite
direction
and
install
the
appropriate
traffic
signage
to
go
in
the
opposite
direction.
So
from
a
dollar
standpoint,
it's
not
a
huge
investment
one
one
choice
of
maybe
erasing
the
lines
would
be
to
do
a
seal
coat
or
something
that's
quick,
rather
than
scrub
them
off
with
a
mechanical
method.
But
Rob
and
I
really
haven't
put
a
cost
estimate
together.
But
it's
certainly
not
a
high
dollar
project.
D
Shane
that
the
first
comment
I
want
to
ask
you
because
I
remember
when
you
did
it
when
you
took
us
on
the
tour
here
a
few
months
ago,
the
video
tour
as
I
recall,
you
saying
we
would
lose
very
few.
The
very
first
comment
is
we'll
lose
a
lose
parking
places.
As
I
recall,
you
said,
though
we
wouldn't
be
losing
a
whole
lot
of
spaces.
F
Yep
and
that
that
that
still
holds
true,
the
reason
that
any
parking
would
change,
of
course,
is
one
of
two
things.
One
depends
on
how
we
approach
the
intersections
you're
gonna
have
to
maybe
account
or
leave
off
a
spot,
that's
at
right
next
to
a
stop
sign
where
you
wouldn't
want
somebody
to
be
able
to
to
turn
or
do
something
different
there
for
parking
and
the
other
one
would
be.
If
we
change
the
angle
of
the
parking
to
maybe
widen
the
street
portion
slightly.
F
F
If
we
do
change
it
to
two-way
in
reality
and
people,
don't
it's
all
in
perception
out
on
County
highways,
those
pavements
are
only
21
to
24
feet
wide,
which
is
about
identical
to
what
we
would
have
in
between
the
parking
spaces
downtown
and
their
world
meeting
head-on.
55
miles
an
hour
and
for
some
reason
the
perception,
if
we
do
that
downtown,
that
we're
gonna
have
nothing
but
a
demolition
derby
out
there
and
I.
G
C
We
should
have
a
an
engineer's
cost
estimate
and
time
frame
for
getting
that
done.
I
think
at
the
time
right
now
is
to
use
to
get
some
detail
on
paper.
That
actually
is
a
plan
and
quit
talking
about
it
in
general,
because
I
look
at
these
numbers
and
I'm
wondering
how
are
you
gonna
make
this
decision?
It's
not
like.
80
percent
of
the
people
are
for
it.
It's
we're
within
ten
percent.
C
Well
to
me,
that's
not
overwhelming
so
I
think
we
need
to
be
able
to
take
the
questions
of
concern
and
we
should
be
able
to
either
prove
or
disprove
them.
You
know
how
many
parking
spaces
are
we
gonna?
Are
we
going
to
gain
or
lose
whatever
that
is
based
on
the
wits
of
the
road
and
and
the
angle
of
the
parking
like
like
Shane
mentioned,
but
I
think
now
it's
the
time
we
have
to
know
those
things
and-
and
we.
B
B
I
tend
to
agree
with
you,
I
think,
maybe
Shane
you
guys
can
get
that
worked
out,
pretty
darn
easy
up
there
and
get
er
done.
So,
let's
leave
it
at
that.
Let's
just
plan
on
you
getting
that
done
and
find
out
exactly
what
it's
going
to
cost
and
I
would
say:
let's,
let's
shoot
for
first
avenue
first
and
go
from
there
fair
enough
fair
enough
thanks,
Megan
sure.
B
B
H
Greg
Blow
and
was
part
of
the
planning
for
the
Charette,
and
certainly,
as
we've
talked
about
it
tonight,
the
charette
totally
recommended
after
two
days
or
so
of
consideration
that
would
make
the
streets
two-way
I
would
agree
that
slowing
people
down
is
what
we
want
to
do.
But
what
we
really
want
to
do
is
have
an
economic
impact
because
of
that
slowing
down
and
lots
of
other
communities
have
been
doing.
This
Cedar
Rapids
is
in
process
right
now.
H
If
you
go
to
the
strong
town's
website,
they
can
take
you
through
a
number
of
examples
and
I'm
not
sure
that
starting
only
on
First
Avenue
will
be
much
of
a
test
for
us,
because
we
don't
have
a
lot
of
vacancies
there.
We're
not
going
to
know
whether
slowing
people
down
going
down.
First
Avenue
has
much
of
an
economic
impact.
I
think
that
campus
camps
really
to
test
and
I
think
the
the
to
way
is
the
beginning
of
what
we
do
with
camp.
There
are
things
like
bump-outs
that
we
do
on
the
corners.
H
Maybe
maybe
we
involve
the
art
community
in
putting
art
into
the
empty
storefronts.
Do
some
things
some
creative
things
that
are
going
to
change
the
downtown
and
particularly
Kemp?
That's
that's
where
we're
really
trying
you
know
a
street
is
a
platform
for
economic
development.
A
road
is
to
get
you
from
here
to
here,
and
camp
is
a
street,
and
we
really
need
to
look
at
this.
H
We
need
to
slow
them
down,
but
the
reason
we
want
to
slow
them
down
is
for
them
to
say
that's
a
new
shop,
I
haven't
seen
or
look
at
in
the
window
there.
Let's
go,
take
a
look
at
that
or
the
next
time
I'm
downtown
I'm
going
to
do
that.
So
just
a
little
something
to
keep
in
mind.
I
think
we
need
to
think
of
this
from
an
economic
point
of
view.
Thank
you.
I
B
I
Steve
one
comment:
if
we're
going
to
talk
about
camp
I,
don't
think
we
look
at
doing
anything
very
expensive
there.
If
there's
some
appetite
later
on,
do
bump-outs
and
stuff
was
hearing
to
want
to
be
spending
money
on
lights
or
something
that
barn
favor
doing
something
with
stop
saying
something
that
can
be
moved
around
or
whatever,
without
putting
a
big
investment
in
these
things.
Yeah.
J
I
A
bigger
project
that
we
have
to
look
at
in
a
longer
term,
but
if
we're
going
to
look
at
doing
a
two-way
earlier
than
that,
let's
just
look
at
stop
signs
or
something
because
I
want
to
be
spending
money
on
street
lights
being
revamped
for
a
week
and
then
they're
gonna
get
taken
out
in
a
couple
of
years.
Right.
D
B
B
B
Shane
there's
been
a
lot
of
earth
work
done
in
town
and
and
big
equipment
that
are
out
on
job
sites
that
we
haven't
been
putting
up
there,
silt
fences
or
the
waddles,
and
things
like
that
and
frankly,
we
don't
know
that
these
things
are
going
on,
because
there
is
a
permitting
process
for
these
people
to
come
up
to
engineering
and
get
that
permit,
but
they're
not
doing
it,
and
there
is
no
fee
currently
for
any
kind
of
a
permit
to
do
this.
So
you
would
think
they've
come
up
and
get
it
done.
F
So
sometime
in
there
I'll
call
it
fairly
recent
past
I
think
it
was
around
2010.
My
predecessor
was
frustrated
with
the
permits
as
well
as
we
are
right
now
for
similar
reasons
and
but
back
then
we
had
a
fee
for
grading
permits
and
different
things
and
I
think
my
predecessor
felt
that
in
the
end
we
were
punishing
those
people
that
actually
did
come
in
and
get
permits
and
we're
paying
the
fees.
F
And
then
there
was
a
whole
nother
group
of
people
out
there
that
were
doing
work
without
permits,
and
then
there
really
wasn't
a
very
viable
punishment
system
or
way
to
recapture
those
folks
that
weren't
coming
in
and
getting
permits.
So
we've
kind
of
been
looking
at
that
from
the
same
standpoint
and
I
guess
for
lack
of
it.
Can
you
put
the
overhead
on
for
a
second?
F
This
was
recently
published
in
the
public
opinion
on
a
Saturday,
and
we
have
the
intention
to
resubmit
this
through
the
public
or
to
the
public
through
the
paper
four
times
a
year
and
we're
going
to
try
to
focus
our
next
one
as
we
ramp
up
into
the
construction
season,
so
it'll
probably
be
March,
maybe
April
at
the
latest
and,
along
with
this,
we've
been
discussing
whether
or
not
we'll
reinstitute
the
fees
well
at
this
time,
because
obviously,
whether
we
collect
the
fee
or
don't
collect
a
fee.
The
result
was
the
same.
F
So
we're
thinking
about
instituting
fees
and
we'll
only
do
that
through
the
council,
as
the
ordinance
states
and
I
think
so.
We've
reached
out
we've
started
to
look
at
our
peer
cities,
see
what
Aberdeen
is
doing
and
see
what
Brookings
is
doing
and
see.
What
Mitchell
is
doing
is
what
are
yeah
Mitchell
or
Madison
are
the
four
that
I've
tried
to
concentrate
on
got
mixed
results
across
the
board.
F
F
Last
time
when
we
were
collecting
fees,
I
think
we
were
doing
it
on
a
per
cubic
yard
basis
with
you
know,
windows
of
brackets
for
varying
fees
and
they
they
weren't
very
expensive,
I,
believe
the
most
expensive
one
was
a
hundred
dollars,
plus
five
dollars
for
each
additional
thousand
yards,
and
that
was
for
projects
that
were
over
ten
thousand
yards.
So
that's
a
big
project
I
mean
ten
thousand
yard
projects,
pretty
good-sized
for
this
community
I
think.
B
Where
this
really
kind
of
rose
at
Shane-
and
you
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong-
but
you
guys
were
all
sitting
here
when
we
ran
into
the
issues
with
stony
point,
you
know
there
wasn't
the
permit
that
was
taken
out.
It
I
believe,
if
I'm
not
mistaken
on
that,
and
then
all
of
sudden
you're
going
back
up
there
and
you're
telling
well
you've
got
to
have
a
pimper
minute,
but
it's
kind
of
after
the
fact,
and
then
you
take
a
look
at
there
was
just
some
dirt.
Thousands
of
yards
moved
over
there
by
Hobby
Lobby.
B
That
would
have
to
be
very
careful
about
that.
It
gets
put
into
the
floodway
and
frankly,
there
wasn't
a
permit
for
that
either.
So
then
also
we're
back
there
time
you
got
to
get
in
that
sell
fence,
so
I
think.
Maybe
we
need
to
try.
We
need
to
educate
these
people
somehow
that
it's
got
to
be
done
and
there
has
to
be
a
consequence
to
it.
If,
if
it
isn't
done,
yep.
J
F
Ordinances,
it
says
very
permit
fee
will
be
doubled
if
the
grading
permit
has
now
obtained
prior
to
commencement
of
grading
operations.
Well
right
now,
double
zero
is
zero,
so
there
really
isn't
much
of
a
punishment.
Now
there
are
other
avenues
in
our
ordinance.
That
would
allow
me
to
hit
them
for
a
$200
fine
per
day
on
that
grievance
and
I.
Don't
think
that
we
we
want
to
go
down
that
road
very
far
or
very
long,
either.
I
think
we
want
to
connect.
F
Our
goal
is
to
get
compliance,
not
punish
people,
but
so
we
have
to
be
do
both
education
and
probably
a
little
bit
of
punishment
if
they
continue
to
ignore
what
we
desire.
So
that's
really
what
I
wanted
to
present
to
you
is
that
we're
finding
things
that
aren't
working
very
well
I'm
trying
to
find
a
path
to
make
it
better.
J
G
F
F
So
they
move
all
their
grading
dirt
off
of
the
project
and
had
an
agreement
with
the
adjacent
landowner
to
temporarily
stockpile
the
dirt
there
that
in
and
of
itself,
wasn't
terribly
egregious
but
I'm,
assuming
that
that
dirt
was
going
to
then
leave
the
site
or
somehow
be
disposed
of.
Well,
ultimately,
we
get
to
the
end
of
the
construction
season
and
what
was
decided
by
various
owners
of
land
and
and
the
project
out.
There
was
to
just
simply
grade
it
out
over
a
large
area
adjacent
to
the
Hobby
Lobby
property.
F
Well,
it's
enough
dirt
and
enough
area
that
was
disturbed
that
should
have
required
more
permits
and
a
bigger
process
than
what
happened.
You
know
they
just
did.
A
handshake
deal
went
out
there
and
started
moving
dirt
around
and,
of
course,
by
the
time
our
office
gets
wind
of
it
the
works
about
done.
You
know
it
took
them
three
days
to
grade
out
the
pile.
So
you
know
unless
I'm
standing
there
watching
every
moment
of
every
day.
F
Those
things
are
gonna
happen,
and,
and
so
really
we
need
to
plug
those
holes
in
that
communication
and
make
not
only
the
owners
that
are
going
through
with
those
kind
of
projects,
but
they're
contractors,
you
know
know
what
our
process
is
and
somehow
find
a
equitable
way
to
make
them
accountable
for
not
following
process.
So
that's
that's
our
goal,
we'll
start
small
and
you.
G
B
B
I
F
F
Gotta
get
it
when
they
get
a
building
permit.
The
grading
that's
associated
to
that
building
is
automatically
approved
along
with
that,
so
those
aren't
the
ones
that
I'm
worried
about
it's
the
ones
that
purely
get
dirt
on
a
large
scale
that
are
moving
stuff
around
without
a
building
permit,
because
we're
gonna
catch
all
the
ones
with
the
building
permit.
That's
not
an
issue
Hobby
Lobby
in
and
of
itself
had
a
permit
to
handle
that
dirt.
It's
what
happened
to
the
dirt
pile
that
left
the
site
after
the
fact
that
was
the
issue.
F
So
what
we
need
to
do
was
like
I
said.
The
first
thing
in
foremost
is
education,
but
we
also
need
to
enhance
up
some
type
of
punishment
system
and
in
this
community
we
do
require
most
contractors
to
have
a
permit
to
work
in
the
city
limits
on
the
building
official
site.
We
haven't
really
established
that
too
much
on
the
engineering
sites.
We
may
even
look
at
a
similar
thing,
so
say
that
up
say
to
do
business,
creating
business
in
watertown
costs
fifty
dollars
a
year
annually
or
a
hundred
or
whatever
that
fee
would
be.
F
G
J
B
F
B
Okay,
let's
move
on
thanks
Shane,
just
discussion
on
retail
marketing
for
Watertown
I,
give
you
all
a
little
packet.
This
is
something
that
you've
all
had
in
a
while
back
we
had
discussed
retail
marketing.
I
have
some
things
that
I
kind
of
want
to
show
up
there
on
the
board.
Will
wait
for
Shane
to
get
back
and
I
just
kind
of
want
to.
Excuse
me
bring
you
up
to
date
on
on
what's
happening
around
town
I'm,
not
going
to
name
names,
but
I'm
gonna.
Give
you
some
ideas
so
Shane.
K
B
B
B
Well,
what
we're
gonna
bring
up
is
we're
gonna
bring
up
the
8th,
Avenue
plat
out
there
out
by
west
of
Hobby
Lobby
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
an
update
on
what's
actually
happening
out
there
and
what
could
happen
and
then
there's
numerous
things
that
that
Shayne
will
also
be
looking
at
for
us
there.
You
go.
Want
you
to
stay
there
with
that
pool,
pool
cue
there.
F
B
So
hang
tight
there
a
little
bit
and
and
just
let's
take
the
pool,
cue
right
down
there
by
travelpod
I,
don't
know
it
sure
looks
like
it
to
me.
You
know,
looks
like
a
bull
kill.
Ok,
so
anyhow,
you
got
Travis
outfitter
that
has
that
piece
of
ground
there
and
I
think
Travis
is
moving
along,
rather
rather
good
right.
Now,
here's
what
I'm
hearing
the
next
lot
over
that
one
plus
half
of
the
next
one
has
also
been
purchased
by
a
outside
realtor,
actually
a
developer,
and
that
particular
lot
has
been
I.
B
Don't
think
it's
closed
yet,
but
it's
it's
red
in
the
process
of
closing
the
next
lot
and
a
half
has
also
been
taken
an
option
to
purchase
by
the
same
one
now
I
think
you
want
to
go
to
the
little
to
the
west.
There
you
go.
That's
also
been
a
letter
of
intent
by
the
same
purchaser
of
that
first
lot.
I
was
telling
you
about
next
to
tryouts
the
next
one.
B
If
you
go
over
one
more
towards
East,
that
one
is
still
open
the
one
to
the
right
that
one
on
the
corner,
there's
been
a
letter
of
intent.
That's
been
signed
for
another
facility
right
there
and
if
you
go
to
the
top,
go
up
one
more,
that
particular
one
had
a
letter
of
intent,
but
that
one
now
has
moved
over
to
the
West
in
that
law
right
there.
B
Just
so,
you
guys
understand
he's
going
to
do
that,
so
that
they
know
where
the
the
floodway
as
the
floodplains
are
now.
I
will
also
tell
you
that
I
believe
there's
soon
to
be
on
the
moors
property
over
there,
which
is
west
of
ya
just
to
the
west.
If
you
see
that
line,
can
you
kind
of
outline
that
just
a
little
bit
Shane
where
that
goes
right
now?
B
Morse
owns
everything
over
to
the
water
to
the
river
over
there
and
then,
of
course,
kind
of
goes
even
off
to
that
to
the
south
there
a
little
bit,
because
Enders
only
owns
that
little
corner
over
there
on
26,
so
they
own
all
of
that
Shane
right
down
in
the
bottom.
Two
on
the
bottom
left
ya,
know
and
responds
just
a
little
bit
but
and
responds
to
the
West
further
over.
B
Where
am
I
where's
where's,
23rd,
Street,
okay,
yeah,
so
Andrew
sones
right
in
there
more
so,
but
I
guess
where
I'm
coming
at
is
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
that
that
has
now
been
put
up
for
sale
and-
and
they
are
looking,
there's
actually
people
that
are
interested
in
purchasing
that
property.
So
why
I'm
actually
showing
you
this
retail
strategies
tonight
is
I.
Think
what
we
have
here
in
front
of
us
for
Watertown
is
a
huge
opportunity.
B
Since
Hobby
Lobby
came
in
there's
activity
and
I
believe
that
retail
strategies
that
was
here
once
on
skype
and
once
in
front
of
us,
it
has
a
real
opportunity
for
Watertown
that
can
take
our
story
to
the
Chicago
for
the
ICSC
conferences
to
the
Las
Vegas
ICSC
conferences
to
the
New,
York
conferences,
I
believe,
in
my
opinion,
only
Bruce
I'll
use
your
words
there.
In
my
opinion,
only
we
need
to
as
a
city
jump
on
the
on
the
Hobby
Lobby
bandwagon
right
now
this
particular
contract.
B
If
we
were
to
do
it,
is
a
three
year
contract
you
may,
if
you
recall
they
would
come
up
here,
they
would
do
an
assessment
of
our
properties
what's
available
throughout
the
town,
also
including
uptown
or
downtown.
Whichever
way
you
want
to
call
it
the
highway
212,
the
mall.
All
of
that
there
they're
going
to
look
at
every
property
that's
available
and
be
able
to
show
that
to
folks
one
thing
that
retail
strategy
does
for
us
just
so
you
understand
they
actually
are
different
than
Buxton.
B
Buxton
will
go
out
and
they'll
get
all
the
information
they're
very
detail-oriented
in
the
numbers,
but
they
don't
really
go
out
and
set
up
the
appointments
with
you
as
much.
They
do
tell
you
that
there's
X
amount
of
businesses
that
might
fit
into
those
parameters
and
Megan
you
can
attest
that
we
were
with
Buxton
a
number
of
times
and
then
the
retail
coach.
B
B
B
They
want
a
three
year
contract,
but
you
only
have
to
sign
up
for
one
year
at
a
time
kind
of
weird,
so
you
don't
have
to
have
that
second
year,
if
you
don't
feel
as
good,
but
I
think
he
was
very
upfront
with
all
of
us
that
it
takes
24
to
30
months
to
really
to
get
something
moving
and
get
something
going
for
Watertown.
So
there
is
an
opening
here.
There's
a
real
opportunity
for
Watertown
to
grow
in
that
area
and
him
throughout
Watertown
I
would
encourage
us
to
do
that.
B
G
Not
really
just
tied
to
this
area,
I
mean
I.
Think
it's
very,
very
important
that
we
look
at
an
organization
such
as
that
to
to
help
us
really
get
water
tone
going.
I
mean
we're
right
on
that
footstep
of
taking
the
next
step
into
retail
and,
like
you
say,
with
Hobby
Lobby,
you
see
there's
some
activities
one
out
there,
but
that's
only
one
step
I
mean
there's,
there's
a
long
ways
to
go
on
I.
Think
I
was
pretty
impressed
with
their
presentations
and.
B
It
is
one
step
you
know:
I
was
in
a
meeting
with
Mike
and
Bill
and
myself
and
others,
and
we
were
talking
about
industry,
expansion
and,
and
frankly,
you
know
on
that
particular
side
of
it.
The
city
of
Watertown
does
have
an
organization
that
that
pushes
the
industries
and
and
and
they
brought
in
companies
for
us,
but
they're
not
going
to
do
retail.
B
D
Think
I've
expressed
some
views
with
you
privately
mayor
that,
if
we're
going
to
do
this,
I'd
like
to
do
it
sooner
rather
than
later,
I
guess
I
am
disappoint
that
we've
that
we're
down
to
only
having
one
organization
to
choose
from
I
guess
I
would
have
liked
a
little
more
options
to
pick
from
not
to
say
that
retail
strategies
wouldn't
do
a
good
job.
I
am
kinda
disappointed
that
that's
the
only
one
that
we're
considering
at
this
point,
but
I
I'd
like
to
see
us
jump
on
it
sooner
rather
than
later.
I
With
these,
people
only
commented
what,
if
some
of
we're
gonna
visit
with
them
part
of
the
retail
strategy,
though
it's
going
to
be
some
kind
of
strategy
of
as
far
as
what
we
would
be
looking
to
go
after,
because
I've
had
a
few
people
express
concerns
to
me
and
says
you
can
spend
money
and
bringing
somebody
puts
them
on
a
business.
So
don't.
B
B
I
B
B
We're
going
to
do
and
within
this
packet,
if
you
look
at
it,
I
think
what
they're
they're
telling
us
that
they
will
do
is
there's
there's
30
businesses.
They
will
introduce
to
Watertown
every
year
that
we
have
an
opportunity
to
talk
to
and
see.
If
we
can't
get
them
here
and
I
would
tend
to
agree
with
you,
I
mean
do
we
need
do
we
need
a
whole
lot
more
restaurants.
Some
people
would
say
yeah.
We
need
some,
but
I
do
think
we
need
women's
clothing,
we
need
men's
clothing.
B
I
I
G
B
They
do
and
I
really
think
bill
on
your
point
there.
You
know
one
of
the
things
that's
high
and
Buxton
was
that
way.
Also
it
showed
the
leakage
you
know,
where's
the
leakage
going
and-
and
we
need
to
address
that
and
I
think
you
know
I,
don't
think
any
of
us
here
have
the
time
to
go
out
and
try
to
call
retail
stores
and
say
you
know
we
need
this
address
barn
or
we
need
a
Kohl's
or
we
need
something
like
that,
but
they
have
those
connections
they
have
them
built.
B
B
I
think
we
have
a
golden
opportunity.
When
you
look
at
the
the
where
water
town
sits
on
i29,
you
know
we're
we're
a
hundred
miles
from
Sioux,
Falls
or
100,
and
about
3540
miles
from
Fargo.
You
know,
Brookings
I
would
say,
is
in
a
little
more
precarious
position,
because
it's
so
easy
to
jump
in
Brookings
and
go
30
minutes
and
you're
at
in
Sioux,
Falls
and
and
with
the
size
of
Sioux
Falls.
B
B
Have
a
final,
a
final
contract
that
has
been
proposed
for
Watertown
and
I
can
send
all
of
you
a
copy
of
it.
So
you
can
take
a
peek
at
it
and
see
if
I
haven't
already
all
right,
hey
Justin
did
did
John
bring
us
that
sheet.
He
was
going
to
bring
us
that
and
he
said
he
had
copies.
I,
don't
see
him
here,
yeah.
B
L
Actually,
I
want
to
retract
that
statement.
Mayor
I
was
at
a
loss
of
what
John
you
meant.
We
have
a
few
of
those
around
city,
government
and
but
I
did
receive
a
document
from
John.
He
said
that
he'd
be
here
at
seven
o'clock
and
he
would
have
this
document
in
tow
a
list
of
various
items
that
he'd
be
bidding.
It's.
B
What
I
wanted
to
do
here
and
why
Justin
is
bringing
this
up
to
you
guys,
is
that
on
the
City
Council
agenda
tonight
under
the
consent
agenda,
I
thought
it
was
important
that
you
understand
what
John
is
actually
looking
at.
What
he
wants
to
put
in
bids
fort-
and
you
know
to
go
out
for
bids
he's
actually
looking
at
22
cardio
machines
for
the
new
Wellness
Center,
which
is
nine
treadmills
for
ellipticals,
two
recumbent
bikes
to
upright
bikes.
Two
new
steps
to
rowers
in
one
step.
B
To
the
rec
center
dock
do
I
so
anyhow,
this
is
this.
When
you
look
at
the
consent
agenda,
there
wasn't
anything
under
supporting
documents
and
I
wanted
you
to
understand
what
what
is
happening
here
and
and
what
he's
looking
for.
He
expects
it
to
run
anywhere
from
80
to
90
thousand
dollars.
Okay,
fair
enough
you're!
All
up
on
that
one.
B
The
next
thing
that
I
also
wanted
to
mention,
which
there
wasn't
any
supporting
documentation
for
on
the
approval
of
the
consent
agenda,
was
e:
the
authorization
for
the
police
department
to
accept
grants
for
the
Homeland
Security
approaches,
SWAT
helmets
and
sniper
rifle
scopes.
What
the
deal
is
on
those
is
that
we
currently
have
them
they're,
quite
old.
The
the
rifles
and
things
get
bounced
around
the
scopes.
Get
bounced
around.
B
This
is
say:
grant
where
they're
going
to
replace
existing
equipment
that
they
have
and
I
kind
of
wanted,
that
to
have
supporting
documentation
also,
and
it
wasn't
there
and
I
will
tell
you
folks
that
under
the
consent
agenda
and
all
the
the
council
actions,
we
need
to
have
that
supporting
documentation.
So
everybody
has
been
notified
that
they
need
to
have
that
there
in
order
for
us
to
know
what
the
heck
they're
they're
looking
for
for
it
for
the
public.
So
that
being
said,
I
don't
have
anything
else
on
my
agenda.
