A
Well
good
afternoon,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
and
welcome
to
the
Monday
March
21st
2016
City
work
session
at
this
time,
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order,
and
we
have
a
couple
folks
that
are
going
to
be
here
tonight.
I
will
let
you
know
that
the
chamber
of
commerce
will
not
be
here.
There's
family
issues
in
Arizona
that
she's
taken
care
of
so
we'll
have
her
at
a
later
date.
So,
at
this
time
Craig
I
see
you're.
A
B
Well,
good
afternoon,
Craig
Atkins
I'm,
the
president
of
the
Watertown
development
company,
and
we
just
first
of
all
I'd
like
to
let
you
know
that
we're
thrilled
with
the
opportunity
to
come
in
front
of
you
today
and
talk
to
you
little
bit
about
some
of
the
things
that
the
world
Watertown
Development
Company
has
been
up
to
and
I've
got
just
a
few
slides
that
I'd
like
to
go
through
to
kind
of
put
it
in
perspective.
When
this
letter
was
sent
to
us
and
then
my
subsequent
conversations
with
the
mayor.
B
I
think
give
you
kind
of
a
lay
of
the
land
in
terms
of
our
economic
health
or
our
financial
health,
which
right
now
is
extremely
strong,
which
is
good
news
compared
to
where
we
were
probably
five
or
six
years
ago.
I
will
also
tell
you-
and
this
is
an
offer,
standing
offer
for
any
of
the
council
members-
that
I'd
be
more
than
happy
on
a
one-to-one
basis
to
sit
down
and
go
through
those
financial
statements.
B
The
mayor
receives
those
as
a
board
member
on
a
monthly
basis,
although
he's
technically
not
allowed
to
share
those
and
then
I
believe
we
filed
those
with
Shelley
at
the
city
finance
office
when
we
have
loans
active,
maybe
once
a
year
as
well
as
other
lenders.
So
if
you
want
to
talk
about
an
organization
that
has
a
lot
of
sets
of
a
lot
of
financial
experts
eyes
on
them,
ours
certainly
certainly
fit
that
bill.
B
We
in
addition
to
that,
have
all
the
lenders
in
the
state
and
others
that
see
our
financial
statements
on
an
annual
basis.
So
just
to
give
you
a
little
overview
of
the
Watertown
development
company.
Today
we
have
a
net
worth
of
about
12.5
million
dollars
that
includes
real
estate,
buildings,
land
and
other
assets.
Our
current
equity
position,
so
this
would
be
any
fixed
assets,
cash
buildings
and
so
on.
Right
now
is
about
6.8
million,
a
majority
that
is
real
estate
and
that's
real
estate
that
we
have
equity
in.
B
B
B
Come
from
public
funds,
city,
county
school
district
and
with
every
dollar
that
the
city
invests
in
the
development
company
were
able
able
to
leverage
an
additional
3.2
dollars
and
the
reason
I
think
that's
important
for
you
to
understand
is
oftentimes
depending
on
the
campaign
cycle.
The
city's
commitment
is
the
first
commitment
that
we
reach
out
to
get,
and
so
that
obviously
helps
to
set
us
up
for
the
success
in
our
campaign.
And/Or
would
be
challenging
if
that
weren't
there.
B
One
of
the
things
that
we
do
as
part
of
the
five-year
capital
campaign
is
develop
a
five-year
strategic
plan,
and
this
is
a
really
brief
summary
of
what
that
plan
entails.
But
in
that
plan
we
also
have
some
specific
goals,
as
it
relates
to
job
creation,
workforce
development,
capital,
investment,
infrastructure
improvement
and
many
other
things,
and
so
these
are
increased
business
visitation
and
outreach
aggressively
market
watertown
nationally
and
at
a
regional
level,
cultivate
an
accessible,
well-trained
and
world-class
workforce,
communications,
collaboration
and
investor
relations.
B
So
if
there
were
a
special
project
that
we
might
get
involved
with
for
an
example
when
we
did
some
work
for
President
Obama's
visit,
we
partnered
with
the
city,
the
chamber
and
the
CVB,
but
the
development
company
and
the
city
actually
paid
for
the
materials
that
were
produced
for
that
effort,
planning
and
development
of
economic
related
economic
development
related
infrastructure,
which
we
refer
to
as
things
that
enhance
our
industrial
parks
or
facilities
and
buildings
that
we
currently
own.
Probably
one
of
the
best
examples
of
this
is
our
spec
buildings.
B
In
the
last
three
years,
we've
built
to
spec
buildings
filled
one
of
those
very
quickly
and
and
finished
the
last
one
about
a
year
ago
and
have
had
several
enquiries
about
that
building
and
then
lead
regional
collaboration,
which
is
basically
our
outreach
to
surrounding
communities.
This
is
a
philosophical
discussion
more
than
anything,
and
but
we
do
set
some
resources
resources
aside
for
this,
and
the
idea
is
that
it'd
be
very
challenging
for
us
to
go
to
Clark
or
the
floor
and
sort
of
Henry
or
one
of
these
other
communities
and
tell
them
hey.
B
We
we've
got
money.
We
want
you
to
do
economic
development,
so
how
our
board
is
kind
of
position.
That
is,
we
have
these
resources
available
as
communities
approach
us,
because
in
the
smaller
communities
it
really
needs
to
be
their
idea
or
their
initiative,
and
then
we'll
be
more
than
willing
to
support
that,
and
I
can
tell
you
just
recently,
we
had
a
meeting
with
one
of
our
communities
just
to
the
east
or
just
to
the
west
of
us
and
are
working
with
them
on
trying
to
help
out
a
business
that
that
had
some
major
issues.
B
We
also
assisted
the
community
of
Florence
several
years
ago,
as
well
as
a
community
of
Castlewood
Florence
was
one
the
water
town
or
when
their
elevator
burnt
down
Castle
wood
was
with
some
infrastructure
for
a
road
project.
So
the
question
posed
to
us
was:
what
do
we
use
the
city's
finances
for?
What
are
they
put
towards
and
the
reality
is
we
don't
specifically
dedicate
any
monies
that
we
receive
during
our
capital
campaign
to
any
specific
project?
B
That
budget
I
just
shared
was
a
pretty
good
example
of
the
broad
categories
where
all
the
funds
go
and
what
that
does.
Then
is
helps
us
to
achieve
our
goals
and
and
objectives
that
we
outline
and
our
strategic
plan
and
for
an
example.
In
this
five-year
campaign
we
have
an
80
million
dollar
capital
investment
goal.
We
have
a
thousand
jobs
created
or
retained.
We
have
the
development
of
a
workforce,
Advisory
Council
and
providing
training
assistance
for
workforce
development,
so
we
really
do
and
then
marketing
and
other
issues.
B
So
we
really
do
that,
but
but
here's
an
example
of
what
those
monies
are
used
for.
So
in
the
past
three
years.
This
is
our
cumulative
prospect,
inventory
I.
Suppose
you
could
say
in
2013
we
work
with
38
companies.
We
conducted
16
RFI.
So
that's
a
formal
written
request
that
we
provide
to
a
company
those
prospects.
Some
of
them
are
generated
internally.
B
Some
of
them
are
generated
as
recommendations
by
an
outside
source
and
some
of
them
come
from
site
consultants
and
a
majority
of
them
come
from
the
state
of
South
Dakota
through
goe
D,
and
that
just
gives
you
an
idea.
18
Hosting's
we
define
Hosting's
as
any
time
a
company
visits
that
and
one
hosting
could
really
equate
to
multiple
visits.
So
we
don't,
you
know,
say
that
XYZ
company
was
here
five
times
and
now
we
have
five
Hosting's
and
then
you
can
just
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
2014
and
2015.
B
We've
created
over
32
million
dollars
of
total
capital
investments,
that's
our
direct
involvement.
So
for
an
example,
we
might
talk
about
the
Watertown
rec
center,
but
that's
not
a
number
that
we
would
include
here.
These
are
projects
where
we've
actually
assisted
the
company
in
securing
financing,
or
in
some
cases,
we've
provided
financing
or
we've
put
together
a
package
where
we
owned
real
estate
for
that
company
to
lease
and
then
buy
back
from
us
and
so
for
an
example.
B
In
the
last
three
years,
we've
generated
over
32
million
dollars
to
date,
indirect
economic
capital,
investment,
job
creation,
just
another
example
of
where
how
are
we
doing
and
where
we
add
on
our
goals:
job
creation
to
date,
225
jobs
in
2013?
That
was
a
rather
large
number,
because
we
had
two
projects
that
year
that
really
made
a
big
difference:
160
and
2014,
and
even
though
we
had
all
those
prospects
in
2015,
our
job
numbers
were
down
slightly
for
a
gamut
of
reasons.
B
B
Just
again,
this
isn't
inclusive,
but
just
to
give
you
kind
of
a
feel
for
some
of
the
projects
that
that
money
is
used
to
help
support
the
expansion
of
metrics
into
our
first
spec
building
in
the
pheasant
Ridge
industrial
park,
Dakota
bodies,
expansion
of
45,000
square
feet
and
ultimate
purchase
of
the
facility
that
they're
in
that
the
development
company
used
to
own,
and
that's
a
pretty
classic
example
of
how
it
would
work.
We
built
the
building.
B
We
leased
it
to
them
with
the
idea
that
someday
we
would
sell
it
to
them,
and
then
we
would
turn
around
and
use
that
investment
to
reinvest
in
other
projects
like
the
spec
building
dakota
tube.
This
is
a
classic
example
of
the
WDC
and
cities
partnership.
The
city
had
some
land
in
the
airport
and
we've
worked
with
the
mayor's
office
and
the
mayor
and
the
company
to
put
that
land
in
a
position
that,
ultimately,
you
can
be
transferred
to
them.
B
In
the
meantime,
the
development
company
owns
that
building
and
we're
leasing
it
back
to
Dakota
tube
Moffitt.
This
was
a
pretty
straightforward
deal.
We
authored
the
ready
loan
application
to
help
them
secure
their
financing,
and
so
they
had
a
majority
the
financing
in
place,
but
they
came
to
us
and
said
you
know
we're
still
a
little
short.
What
can
you
do
to
help
us
and
that's
what
we
ended
up?
Putting
together
JM
asks
glacial
lakes
rubber
and
then
wanted
to
highlight
just
a
couple.
B
New
businesses
we've
had
a
couple
other
new
businesses,
but
this
is
probably
one
of
her
larger
success
stories.
To
date,
the
new
business
originally
was
spec.
Sis
excuse
me
and
they
have
already
created
up
to
30
jobs.
They
feel
that
that
business
will
grow.
They
moved
into
the
former
Minnesota
rubber
building
and
in
the
meantime-
and
you
don't
even
know
about
this,
it's
the
first
time
it's
been
publicly
announced.
B
B
Given
the
current
workforce
challenges
that
were
faced
with
marketing
initiatives,
many
of
you
remember
that,
as
part
of
the
president's
visit
we
kind
of
kicked
off
this
new
initiative.
We
took
some
of
our
marketing
materials
and
tried
to
develop
a
message
that
all
of
our
partners-
the
development
company,
the
Chamber,
the
CBB
in
the
city-
could
talk
about
during
that
three
two
to
three
week
period
of
time.
B
From
that
we
developed
the
Watertown
works
platform
and
since
that
time,
we've
taken
that
on
a
step
further
and
have
now
redesigned
our
website
and
enhanced
our
social
media
capabilities
to
include
the
Watertown
works
message,
which
is
really
Watertown
works
for
work.
Watertown
works
for
workforce,
Watertown
works
for
a
great
quality
of
life
and
if
you
haven't
had
the
opportunity
to
go
out
and
check
our
website,
I
would
encourage
you
to
do
so.
I
will
tell
you
just
in
the
short
period
of
time
that
the
Watertown
works.
B
Facebook
page
has
been
up
we're
nearing
3,000
contacts.
We've
had
over
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
impressions,
which
means
over
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
individuals
have
accessed
that
website
at
one
point
or
another
cents
since
June
of
last
year.
So
it's
really
had
a
tremendous
outreach
and
the
demographics
on
that
continue
to
just
impress
us
as
a
result
of
some
of
that
work.
B
So
it's
always
nice
to
hear
that,
because
you
know
our
peers
are
looking
at
our
materials
and
telling
us
that
you
know
you
guys
are
doing
marketing,
work
and
advertising
that
that
we're
envious
of
quite
honestly-
and
so
that's
always
exciting-
to
hear
and
then
Workforce
Development
five
years
ago.
Workforce
development
wasn't
really
a
big
part
of
our
strategy.
I
will
tell
you
now.
This
takes
up
probably
20
to
30
percent
of
our
all
of
our
resources,
and
one
of
the
first
things
we
did
is
created
the
Workforce
Advisory
Council.
B
We
were
a
key
stakeholder
and
the
governor's
workforce
development
efforts
a
little
over
a
year
ago
and
to
this
point,
we've
had
10
to
15
stakeholders
that
attend
those
meetings
on
a
regular
basis.
It's
open
any
HR
professional
and
we
have
over
35
HR
professionals
that
have
participated
at
some
level
in
our
workforce.
Advisory
Council,
one
of
the
other
programs
as
it
relates
to
our
workforce.
B
Advisory
Council
is
our
attract
and
enhanced
program,
which
is
a
very
unique
program
that
was
funded
by
the
governor's
office
of
economic
development,
with
a
$50,000
grant
that
we
as
a
community
had
to
match
we're
using
those
grant
funds
to
provide
training
and
relocation
reimbursements
to
employees
directly.
So
how
that
works
as
a
company
approaches
us,
they
submit
the
application.
We
have
to
keep
the
name
of
the
employee
confidential,
but
the
attract
and
enhance,
and
the
Workforce
Advisory
Council
review
that
request,
and
then
they
can
make
an
award
up
to
a
thousand
dollars.
B
The
caveat
to
that
is
that
the
company
has
to
provide
at
least
a
thousand
dollars
in
matching
funds,
and
so
for
companies
that
already
do
this
and
several
of
them
do
where
they
provide
an
opportunity
for
an
engineer
or
a
salesperson
or
an
accountant
to
relocate
to
our
community,
and
they
say,
as
part
of
that
package,
we're
going
to
match
we're
going
to
provide
you
with
moving
expenses.
We
will
match
that
up
to
$1,000,
not
a
big
deal,
but
it's
really
really
taken
off
and
we've
really
gotten
a
lot
of
interest
in
it.
To
date.
B
We've
done
14
of
those
applications
and
we're
getting
our
first
company-wide
application
approved
in
the
next
month's,
where
we'll
actually
be
doing
training
for
existing
employees.
But
it's
going
to
be
company-wide,
and
so
that's
going
to
be
a
little
little
larger
award,
that'll
probably
be
about
5,000
but
again,
they're
matching
that
and
in
this
case
I
think
it's
a
three
to
one
match
that
they're
offering
so
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
assist
businesses
and
addressing
their
workforce
development
challenges,
and
those
are
just
a
couple
of
things.
B
This
group
has
also
worked
on
the
Watertown
manufacturing
week
and
we
have
plans
this
year
to
expand
that
and
our
our
efforts
as
it
relates
to
that
program
and
then
probably
the
the
the
kind
of
the
catch-all
area.
A
lot
of
the
activities
that
we
do
are
to
build
capacity
and
some
examples
of
that
and
I
know
it's
a
little
bit
redundant
for
when
I
talked
about
earlier,
but
would
be
the
spec
buildings
compasscare
capital,
which
is
an
angel
investor
fund
that
we
created
as
part
of
this,
can
Payne,
where
we've
have
I
think
now.
B
18,
individual
private
investors
that
have
each
contributed
at
least
$50,000
and
the
numbers
don't
quite
add
up,
because
some
of
those
investment
groups
are
made
up
of
one
or
two
people,
but
that
fund
was
set
aside
to
help
entrepreneurs.
We
found
that
in
our
last
strategic
plan
and
our
return
on
investment,
that
one
of
the
areas
that
we
really
didn't
have
some
good
resources
were
our
entrepreneurial
development
and
I
need
to
give
a
shout
out
to
Don
Roby
because
he
helped
get
that
off
the
ground.
B
That's
a
vendor,
so
we've
already
seen
some
rewards
than
that.
Some
of
you
may
be
familiar
with
what,
with
the
Commerce
Center
premier
bank
made
that
donation
to
the
city
and
then
the
city
donated
that
building
to
the
development
company,
with
the
caveat
at
the
development
company
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
CVB
and
other
nonprofits
use
that
as
their
home
and
I
think
that
building
has
been
a
tremendous
asset.
B
We
spent
a
little
north
of
a
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
on
the
renovation
and
remodel
at
facility,
and
now
we
have
a
third
floor
that
we
would
also
like
to
renovate
in
the
future.
So
you
may
hear
us
come
back
and
talk
to
you
about
that
at
some
point
in
the
future
that
we
could
use
is
kind
of
a
hybrid
incubator,
co-working
space
for
very
small
entrepreneurial
opportunities.
That's
been
a
little
more
challenging.
B
We've
we've
been
doing
some
work
on
some
grants
and
it's
kind
of
you
almost
need
to
have
the
burden
hand
before
you
can
make
the
ask,
but
you
can't
make
the
ask
unless
you
have
the
burden
hand.
So
if
you
follow
me
on
that,
and
then
one
of
our
bigger
issues
that
we've
been
working
on
more
recently
as
future
industrial
park
acquisition,
as
most
of
you
recall
when
the
city
agreed
to
transfer
the
land
purchased
by
glacial
lakes,
energy.
B
One
of
the
caveats
to
that
was
that
we'd
set
that
money
aside,
along
with
other
sales
from
land
transactions,
that
the
city
and
development
company
work
on
jointly
for
future
industrial
park
acquisition.
Concurrently.
The
development
company
has
also
set
aside
a
chunk
of
money
that
we
will
use,
and
the
idea
is
that
we
will
collaboratively
come
back
to
you
with
a
proposal
to
purchase
not
one
but
maybe
two
separate
industrial
or
Business
Park
properties
that
we
can
use
in
the
future.
And
this
all
stems
from
an
analysis.
B
We
did
several
years
ago,
which
said
that
our
current
absorption
rate,
we
will
run
out
of
industrial
park
and
and
Business
Park
property
within
the
next
five
or
ten
to
fifteen
years.
But
if
it
wasn't
for
the
foresight
of
City,
Council's
and
development
company
board
members
way
back
in
the
90s
and
80s
a
lot
of
the
land
we
have
today,
that
is
almost
full,
wouldn't
have
been
available.
B
So
we
may
not
see
immediate
return
on
this,
but
we
would
like
to
start
that-
and
we
have
had
some
conversations
just
recently
with
a
landowner,
a
representative
of
landowner
and
within
the
next
week
or
two
we're
hoping
that
we
will
have
some
kind
of
consensus
on
purchase
price
and
then
come
to
the
council
to
discuss
how
we
might
split
up
that
cost
and
how
we
might
might
develop
that
property
and
I
think
that's
all
I
have
I
wanted
to
leave
a
little
bit
of
time.
I,
don't
know
if
I
look
a
lot.
C
B
B
D
Craig
I,
don't
have
a
question.
I've
got
a
comment.
Our
office
I'm
gonna
get
accused
of
putting
a
plug-in
for
our
accounting
firm,
but
our
our
office
goes
way
back
with
a
development
company
back
to
its
origins
practically
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
it's
probably
understood.
The
development
is
a
nonprofit
organization
as
far
as
far
as
how
its
organized
under
the
auspice
of
the
Internal
Revenue
Service,
but
they're
still
occasionally,
but
but
it,
but
that's
not,
was
not
always
a
case.
D
We'll
still
get
people
that
will
call
they'll
be
going
through
mom
and
dad's
papers
after
they've
passed
away
and
we'll
come
across
these
old
stock
certificates,
and
they
wonder
you
know,
what's
the
store
with
the
development
company
buy
do
I
do
want
to
clarify
that
it
is
a
nonprofit
organization
that
there
is
no
investors
that
are
reaping
any
benefits
by
the
actions
of
what's
going
on
within
the
company.
B
So
and
in
fact
there
are
state
statutes
in
place
that
allow
economic
development
organizations
to
maintain
their
information
in
a
confidential
manner.
But,
as
I've
said,
it's
not
that
we're
trying
to
not
share
with
you.
What
that
looks
like
and
I'm
happy
to
do
that.
It's
just
not
something
that
we
want
to
necessarily
discuss
in
a
problem
setting
you.
A
Know
Craig
I
want
to
make
a
couple
of
quick
comments
before
we're
done.
You
had
mentioned
other
cities,
you
know
Florence
cows
would
Henry
I
think
we
also
need
to
understand
that
some
of
these
businesses
that
you're
talking
to
have
expanded
into
these
other
towns,
which
is
good
for
Watertown,
because.
E
A
Those
folks,
you
know,
are
still
coming
here
and
shopping,
but
one
of
the
other
comments
I
wanted
to
make
was
your
additional
Michelle
I
think
that
you
know
she
was
here
in
front
of
us
and
and
spoke
on
another
occasion.
I
forget
what
it
was
just
a
week
or
so
ago
and
I
think
she's
a
great
addition
for
your
organization
over
there
yeah.
B
Well,
I
appreciate
that
we're
just
like
anybody.
We
have
the
same
challenges
when
it
comes
to
hiring
staff
and
we
were
really
fortunate,
both
with
her
and
Tracy
to
to
get
a
couple.
People
that
and
we've
honestly
now
got
people
the
people
in
the
right
roles
and
that's
made
a
huge
difference
in
our
ability
to
respond
to
folks.
B
A
B
There
was
one
thing:
I
probably
failed
to
mention
today
and
I
think
mostly
understand.
That
is
you
know.
Economic
development
is
a
long-term
process.
I
understand
the
pressure
politically
to
make
the
next
deal
happen
and
the
story
I
always
use
is,
although
this
isn't
necessarily
in
our
wheelhouse
in
terms
of
projects
that
we
work
on
a
regular
basis
is
when
Applebee's
announced
I
received
an
email
from
a
young
lady
at
the
at
the
Technical
Institute.
B
That
said
great
job
on
Applebee's
now,
when
you're
gonna
get
an
out,
and
so
that's
the
kind
of
mentality
that
we
have
to
deal
with
quite
often
there's
nothing
wrong
with
it,
but
it,
but
it
is
truly
a
long-term
process.
Some
of
these
deals,
as
Mike
Danforth
is
mentioned
before,
when
the
company
is
ready
to
pounce,
we
need
to
be
ready
for
them.
That's
why
we
have
the
spec
building
other
projects
takes
months
years
or,
as
the
mayor
said
in
this
case
to
year,
two
plus
years,
to
finally
bring
together
craig
cash
quickly.
We.
B
B
G
I've
handed
out
a
couple
handouts
for
you,
and
so
you
can
look
at
them
at
your
leisure,
but,
to
begin
with,
my
name
is
Todd
Kay's
and
I'm.
The
executive
director
of
the
first
planning
district
in
Watertown,
South,
Dakota
and
again,
as
Craig,
said
before,
I'm
glad
for
this
opportunity
to
come
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
first
district,
some
of
the
work
that
they've
been
doing
here
in
Watertown
and
in
our
area
just
a
quick
synopsis
of
who
the
first
district
is.
G
We
are
one
of
six
regional
planning
and
development
districts
located
in
the
state
of
South
Dakota.
We
have
sister
organizations
in
Aberdeen,
Pierre,
rapid,
Sioux,
Falls
and
Yankton.
We
work
in
11
counties,
seventy-five
communities
in
northeastern
South
Dakota.
We
were
created
in
1971
through
executive
action,
so
we're
a
creature
of
government.
We
aren't
government,
but
we
are
were
created
by
Governor
Frank
Farrar
back
in
1971
and
we'll
be
having
our
45th
anniversary.
G
We
are
a
membership-based
organization.
All
of
those
11
counties
and
75
communities
belong
to
the
first
District.
They
paid
dues
into
our
organization,
which
I'll
talk
about
that
in
just
a
little
bit
of
in
a
minute
that
helps
perpetuate
what
we
do
as
an
organization.
We
are
governed
by
a
35
member
board
which
has
11
repartee
three
representatives
from
each
of
our
counties.
Currently
chiton
county
is
represented
by
Brenda
Hatton
of
the
county.
G
Kraig
Atkins
is
a
past
chairman
of
our
board
and
is
there
a
large
member,
and
currently
we
have
a
vacant
spot
on
their
board,
which
will
be
looking
at
filling
here
this
summer.
We
also
have
the
chairman
of
Flanders
Santana,
sisseton-wahpeton
tribes.
As
far
as
membership
regarding
how
we're
financed.
G
It's
been
pretty
steady
for
most
years
that
I've
been
associated
with
the
district,
but
currently
23
percent
of
our
income
comes
in
the
form
of
dues
and
I
talked
to
that
all
communities
with
at
least
a
population
of
a
hundred
and
all
11
counties
paid
dues
in
to
our
organization.
We
use
those
dues
to
leverage
other
state
and
federal
grant
funds.
G
As
far
as
the
staff
we
have
12
full-time
and
one
part-time
persons
working
in
our
organization
collectively
about
a
hundred
and
ninety
years,
worth
of
experience,
I've
been
with
the
district
would
be
23
years
in
May,
a
very
seasoned
staff
that
are
there
to
provide
assistance
and
to
our
membership
and
whatever
they
need
us
to
do.
As
far
as
what
we
do.
G
Most
of
you
are
aware
that
we
we
specialize
in
put
together
applications
grant
applications
loan
applications
if
those
projects
get
funded
for
a
water
tower
or
a
street
or
what-have-you,
then
there's
a
lot
of
red
tape
that
gets
associated
with
there's
no
free
money
and
would
help
get
those
eyes
dotted
and
t's
crossed
planning
and
research.
That's
what
I
spent
most
of
my
professional
career
with
the
district
doing
is
working
in
areas
of
zoning
and
nuisance,
and
economic
and
Community
Development,
doing
research
and
analysis
on
a
wide
variety
of
issues.
G
We
do
some
very
specific
technical
specialties.
Geographic
information
systems
is
very
important
to
our
organization.
We
have
three
and
a
half
individuals
that
work
solely
in
GIS
and
we
have
a
relationship
with
the
city
for
the
last
twelve
thirteen
years
regarding
a
geographic
information
system
technologies
also
with
within
the
umbrella
of
the
first
district.
We
have
the
development
company
and
the
development
company
is
a
certified
development
company
through
the
Small
Business
Administration.
G
We
have
four
employees
in
that
area
and
that
organization
partners
with
local
lending
providers,
and
we
have
our
own
funds
in-house-
that
we
use
to
leverage
projects
for
private
business,
new
creation,
new
jobs
and
expansion
of
existing
jobs.
It
always
comes
back
to
what
are
we
getting
for
our
dollars
worth
of
dues,
and
the
easiest
way
to
look
at
is
just
the
hard
cash
that
comes
in
from
outside
sources
from
state
and
federal
dollars.
Last
year
is
about
little
under
a
quarter
million
dollars
was
paid
into
dues
into
our
organization.
G
We
were
able
to
assist
our
members
leverage
about
20
1.8
million
dollars
in
grants
and
loans
of
that
21.8
10.2
came
in
the
area
of
just
grants
outside
dollars
that
came
in
from
the
federal
in
the
state.
You
know
it's
not
us.
It's
really
our
membership
that
are
investing
in
themselves.
We
don't
have
the
dollars
in
the
closet,
but
we
know
where
the
closets
are,
and
we
just
try
to
make
those
connections
between
our
members
and
those
funding
entities.
G
So
if
you
can
see
the
return
on
investment
in
2015
district-wide,
it's
about
42
dollars
for
every
dollars
worth
of
dues.
Since
2008
since
I've
been
the
director,
we've
been
averaging
a
little
over
twenty
eight
dollars
and
return
on
investment.
When
you
take
a
look
at
Cottington
County,
just
this
last
year,
dues
was
about
forty
six
thousand,
with
all
the
entities
included
grants
and
loans
about
7.3
million,
of
which
three
and
a
half
million
was
in
the
form
of
grants.
G
$77
return
on
investment
$26
over
the
course
of
the
last
seven
eight
years,
Watertown
specifically
last
year.
8,000
about
$9,000
in
dues
is
what
the
city
pays
our
organization.
We
had
one
project
that
generated
a
$18,000
in
grants
for
the
cities.
If
you
take
a
look
just
since
2008
about
2.1
million
in
grant
dollars.
So
$2
was
our
return
on
investment
last
year,
but
we've
been
averaging
about
33
a
year
over
the
last
seven
or
eight
years.
G
The
other
thing
I
would
just
briefly
talked
about
our
development
company.
We
did
actually
do
two
loans
in
the
city
of
Watertown
last
year
about
four
hundred
and
ninety
thousand
on
total
project
costs
about
one
and
a
half
million.
So
that's
just
very
cursory
review
of
things
that
we
do.
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
talk
a
little
bit
about
some
specific
projects.
G
You
all
know
Luke
Muller,
he's
here
quite
often,
and
actually
he's
here
a
little
bit
more
for
the
next
several
weeks
early,
maybe
a
month
or
so
working
as
the
urban
planner
for
this
city
he's
going
to
be
working
on
a
part-time
basis
to
fill
that
gap
until
Shane
finds
a
replacement
for
Geoff,
but
otherwise
Luke's,
always
here
on
Tuesday
mornings,
talking
with
staff
and
working
as
a
conduit.
Luke
also
is
the
zoning
ostrich
for
Coddington
County
through
our
office.
So
it's
really
good
to
have
that
communication.
G
So
we
intend
those
planning
department,
staff
meetings,
we
act
as
that
conduit
between
the
city
and
the
county.
We
maintain
a
lot
of
GIS
data,
the
the
database
we
assign
addresses
here
in
Watertown
we
host
a
website
for
individual
staff
and
the
public
to
access
GIS
data
base.
We
did
the
grant
last
year
for
a
warning
sirens.
This
was
18300.
We
did
apply
for
a
solid
waste
grant
application,
but
that
one
wasn't
funded
last
year
last
year.
G
I
think
really
a
big
thing
that
was
probably
a
year
and
a
half
in
the
King
was
the
development
of
the
joint
jurisdiction,
zoning
or
'test
between
the
city
in
the
county
that
was
completed
about
this
time.
Okay
I
was
last
summer,
but
we
had
started
it
over
a
year
ago
and
currently
for
about
the
last
year
and
a
half,
we've
been
working
on
updating
the
comprehensive
land-use
plans
for
this
city
and
I
think
once
Luke's
finishes
his
work
as
the
urban
planning
here
over
the
next
few
weeks.
G
We'll
have
that
project
wrapped
up
before
the
fourth
of
July
is
our
anticipation.
So
again
we
just
appreciate
the
working
relationship
that
we've
had
with
the
city
and
the
staff
and
and
your
leadership,
and
we
look
forward
to
you,
know
another
successful
year
and
I'd
be
more
than
glad
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
might
have.
A
Thanks
Todd,
if
anybody
has
any
questions
for
Todd,
you
sure
welcome
to
to
address
it.
I
just
want
to
upfront
say
how
easy
it
is
to
work
with
first
District
and
and,
like
you
say,
with
Luke
here
every
week
on
Tuesdays
and
letting
us
know
what's
going
on
in
the
county,
what's
what's
kind
of
close
to
Watertown
and
and
what's
what's
going
on,
it's
a
it's
very
beneficial
for
us
and.
G
I,
just
should
also
just
make
the
save
since
Craig's
here
too,
and
he
sits
on
my
board.
We've
we've
always
had
a
great
working
relationship
with
the
Development
Corporation
and
doing
pet
projects
for
them,
and
one
thing
that
Craig
didn't
talk
about
recently
is
an
outreach
project
with
the
Development
Corporation
that
had
nothing
to
do
with
money
but
Craig's
time,
working
with
the
town
of
Bryant
and
creating
a
tax,
increment
financing
district
for
a
project
for
them
to
expand.
So
shout
out
for
that
organization
as
well.
G
Think
today,
if
we
hit
50%,
we
hit
a
homer
right
now
we
generally
aim
35
to
45
percent
and
grant
sources
if
the
projects
right,
the
good
thing
is:
there's
there's
pretty
adequate
dollars
for
water
and
sewer
projects.
Street
projects
are
always
a
hard
thing
to
finance
public
buildings,
again
very
difficult
to
finance
anymore.
You
know
fire
departments,
emergency
man,
never
see
service
centers.
There
are
dollars
out
there
for
that,
but
it's
getting
more
and
more
difficult
to
find
dollars
to
track
down
specific
projects.
So
we
have
to
start
thinking
about
doing
it.
G
A
D
G
A
A
H
F
H
We
lost
the
colors
okay,
okay,
I
guess:
2015
I
came
on
January
1st
of
2016,
but
I
I
was
on
the
board
of
the
CVB
for
about
two
and
a
half
years.
So
a
little
bit
of
this
I
was
in
on
retrieving.
Some
of
the
numbers
was
a
little
challenging,
but
I'll
just
bear
with
me
here.
H
H
There
we
go:
okay,
2015,
the
income
for
the
water
town,
Convention
and
Visitors
Bureau,
the
city
of
water
tone
contributed
two
hundred
and
fifty
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and
the
water
tone.
Business
Improvement
District
contributed
sixteen
thousand
five
hundred
dollars,
so
our
total
budget
going
into
2015
was
two
hundred
and
sixty
eight
thousand
dollars
our
actual
budget.
H
What
we
ended
up
was
two
hundred
thirty,
two
twenty
seven
dollars
and
obviously
the
major
drivers
and
the
difference
there
were
the
payroll
benefits
and
taxes
and
some
of
the
advertising
commitments
that
had
been
anticipated:
the
executive
director,
of
course
retired
in
August
of
2015.
So
that's
where
the
difference
came
there.
H
H
Of
that
eight
hundred
and
seven
thousand
dollars
we
did
host
a
hundred
and
nineteen
thousand
seven
hundred
and
thirty-four
Hotel
overnights,
just
a
off
the
top
of
my
head
average
cost
of
that.
So
we
roll
into
a
pretty
large
number
of
revenue
that
came
in
the
BBB
tax
got
1%
of
that
which
was
a
hundred
and
one
thousand
dollars
of
the
807.
The
other
tax
came
from
the
gas
and
food
and
all
of
the
others.
H
H
One
of
the
biggest
expenditures
I
know
two
years
ago
when
I
was
on
the
CVB
Board
I
I
came
to
the
council
when
we
were
gonna,
spend
the
forty
five
thousand
dollars
on
the
new
website
and
a
lot
of
what
we're
doing
now
is
including
accountability
for
our
spending
and
with
all
of
the
social
media
and
all
of
those
types
of
things.
That's
really
easy
to
see
where
those
numbers
are
increasing.
H
2015
was
the
first
total.
You
know
complete
year
that
that
website
was
up
and
running
I
think
we
got
it
going
in
March
of
last
year,
and
so
it
wasn't
a
whole
year,
but
we
do
spend
twenty
thousand
dollars
a
year
to
keep
up
the
website
and
also
adding
some
bells
and
whistles
along
the
way
that
we
maybe
need
to
add
to
make
it
more
efficient.
H
H
2015
our
website
had
297
over
297
sessions.
The
bramble
Park
Zoo
was
in
the
top
three
page
view
of
each
month
of
the
year,
and
when
you
look
at
some
of
those
statistics,
the
visitors
to
the
bramble
Park
Zoo
was
a
record
seventy
thousand
visitors.
Last
year,
the
family
was
our
major
focus
last
year
for
our
peak
season
marketing
campaign,
and
so
we
did
see
that
there
was
some
success
with
reaching
those
families
and
the
hits
to
the
zoo
page
and
the
zoo
site.
The
pictures
and
the
pageviews
were
very
high
for
that.
H
H
All
of
the
25
followed
our
2015
marketing
plan
that
we
co-opted
with
the
state
of
South
Dakota,
which
we've
done
every
year.
For
many
many
years
we
did
pull
some
some
visitors
in
from
Louisville
and
Kansas
City
in
Chicago
and
Kansas
City
and
Chicago
have
proven
is
where
we're
doing
some
of
our
peak
season
plotting
for
2016
that
those
are
pretty
strong
markets
for
us.
So
we're
gonna
change
things
up
a
little
bit,
though
this
year.
H
As
far
as
you
know,
I
I
don't
have
really
what
what
the
mindset
was
and
going
into
all
the
marketing
I
know
that
a
lot
of
it
had
been
a
lot
of
the
same
types
of
things
for
a
long
time.
What
we
have
going.
This
is
a
real
small
list
of
some
of
the
new
things
that
we
have
going
on
partnering
with
all
of
the
entities
and
water
tone.
You
know:
Art
Walk,
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
different
events
and
sponsorships
that
they
already
have
going
on
our
peak
season.
H
Marketing
campaign
is
gonna
target
the
bucket
list
er
for
the
first
time.
We're
really
excited
about
that
because
they
spend
money
12
months
out
of
the
year
instead
of
the
families
that
spend
it
3
months
out
of
the
year.
So
we've
got
some
pretty
exciting
things
going
on
there,
partnerships
and
service
in
creating
and
growing
new
events
with
the
water
tone.
Events
Center
I
think
that
there's
just
a
lot
of
relationship
building
going
on
and
teamwork
going
on
right
now,
so
we're
really
excited
about
that
and
I.
H
Think
2016
is
gonna,
be
an
exceptional
year
for
the
CVB.
So
I
don't
know
if
you
have
any
questions.
You
know
we
appreciate
your
support,
encouragement
and,
if
you
haven't
been
to
the
state
tourism
convention,
I
would
highly
recommend
that,
as
a
council
member,
you
take
that
in
just
so
you
can
kind
of
get
the
dollars
and
cents
of
what
the
visitor
is
all
about.
Because
from
a
sustainability
standpoint,
the
visitor
is
very
important
to
her
community.
A
And
that
is
exciting
to
go.
There
I
mean
to
all
the
people
that
are
pumped
up
to
get
folks
here
to
Watertown
and
and
kind
of
what
different
cities
are
doing
you
can,
you
can
talk
to
them
and
you
can
see
what
the
state
is
doing
and
Julie
we're
really
excited
to
see
kind
of
that
new
feeling
of
excitement
gonna
go
on
there,
so
I'm
gonna
open
it
up
for
questions
for
you.
If
anybody
has.
A
I
H
H
H
Camp
Eska,
actually
it
for
2016
marketing
campaign
and
I
I
mean
there's
just
so
much
going
on,
don't
even
put
it
in
there
was
gonna,
be
probably
too
much,
but
we're
gonna
have
all
new
video
and
all
new
photography
done
this
year
for
Watertown,
it's
well
overdue.
So
we
did
put
that
into
our
co-op
budget
for
this
year,
Lake
Camp
Asaka
the
golf
courses,
all
of
the
things
that
have
kind
of
been
left
out
before
we're
gonna,
make
a
big
long
list
and
we're
gonna
work
really
hard
to
have
that
be
as
complete
as
possible.
H
I
J
H
And
it
will
be
I
guess
with
that
and
with
the
new
multi-purpose
Center
I
plan
to
meet
with
all
of
the
the
folks
that
are
pertinent
to
both
of
those
things
so
that
I
can
get.
You
know
all
of
the
information
that
I
need
to
market
that
will
get
it
on
our
website
and
there's
different
things
that
we
can
be
doing.
There's
symposiums
sports,
symposiums
I'd
talked
to
some
of
the
folks
at
the
Rec
Center
and
even
Steve
Moore
about.
H
Maybe
we
send
some
people
from
water
tone
to
some
of
these
symposiums
and
I'm
kind
of
approaching
those
kind
of
things
a
little
bit
differently,
where
we're
kind
of
signing
on
some
of
the
attractions
and
some
of
the
people
that
are
their
businesses
sports
and
you
know
let
them
come
along
because
you
know
they
can
talk.
The
talk
and
I
can
go
there
as
the
CVB,
but
they're
the
experts,
and
so
we're
gonna.
Take
some
folks
along
to
some
of
our
shows
that
can
really
be
nice
dynamic
and
talk
and
speak
well
about
water
tone.
H
J
H
Some
shows
that
we've
never
done
before.
I
know
that
there's
some
of
the
markets
that
do
you
know
go
after
just
different
types
of
shows,
rather
than
the
hunting
and
fishing,
which
is
primarily
what
we've
been
doing
so
we're
gonna
offer
some
opportunities
to
some
of
the
attraction
folks
and
the
hotel
years,
and
you
know
if
any
you
guys
want
to
sign
up.
You
guys
can
go
represent
us
at
a
show
here
there
you.
I
I
Maybe
I
guess
Commission
is
an
word
I'm
looking
for,
but
you
know
I
think
it's
time
we
probably
look
at
some
of
that
with
some
of
the
new
projects
that
we
get
coming
along
with
the
with
the
ice
and
softball
and
the
new
multi-purpose
facility
and
I'm
not
talking
spending
a
lot
of
money
on
it,
but
I
think
it
time
we
put
together
a
committee
and
and
start
looking
at
some
of
that.
So
in
those
people
that
Julie
were
talking
about
her,
definitely
the
ones
that
they
need
to
head
that
up.
So
I.
H
Guess
when
you
you
talk
about
money
and
the
mayor
knows
that
I'm
not
afraid
to
come
to
you
folks,
if
I've
got
I
mean
I'll,
do
my
diligence,
but
if
I
really
believe
that
we
need
something
at
the
CVB
I'm
going
to
come
and
I
ask
you
to
help
us
with
that.
But
when
you
look
at
the
return
on
investment
for
the
visitor,
if
we
do
it
right,
we
can
afford
to
spend
some
money
on
it
and
it's
well
worth
it.
So
that's
some
of
the
best
revenue
we'll
get.
A
H
A
E
E
The
drawing
in
front
of
you
is
our
mill
and
overlay
and
proposal
for
2016.
You
can
see
it
has
segments
all
over
town.
We
have
some
in
the
north-central
area.
We
have
some
out
in
the
Far
West.
This
is
an
important
corridor
street
over
here
by
some
metarex
as
facilities.
We
have
some
core
areas
in
the
downtown
or
like
I,
call
it
the
greater
downtown
area,
but
in
the
residential
area,
adjacent
to
downtown,
be
our
Bruin
Avenue,
more
people
up
here
as
a
piece
that
needs
some
attention
we
have
section
on
here
by
Terry
readlyn.
E
That's
really
needs
some
attention
as
well,
so
we've
got
our
overlays
scattered
out
throughout
the
community.
We
do
have
some
smaller
segments,
alleys
that
were
in
need,
but
I
want
to
particularly
bring
your
attention
to
that's
unique
and
new
this
year.
As
this
light,
blue
piece
is
a
portion
of
First
Avenue,
starting
at
3rd
Street,
West
and
ending
at
highway
81.
E
That
is
our
proposed
micro
surfacing
project
for
this
year
and
with
that,
I'll
can
I.
Show
you
a
little
bit
by
via
some
pictures
of
what
my
cursor
facing
is,
and
it's
a
really
kind
of
fits
between
two
categories.
You
know
you're
used
to
in
our
normal
chip
seal
projects
where
we
spray
oil
on
the
ground
and
then
spread
rock
over
it
and
then
knead
that
together
with
rollers,
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
hybrid
between
that
chip,
seal
project
and
our
traditional
mill
and
overlay
project.
E
And
here
you
can
see
this
is
behind
the
paving
machine,
another
shop
behind
a
paving
machine
that
lays
that
down
really
really
really
thin,
and
that
this
picture
here
shows
you
about
how
thin
that
mat
of
asphalt
material
is
and
the
unique
properties
of
a
micro
seal
is
that
the
oil
and
stuff
that's
made.
This
is
made
of
actually
penetrates
the
surface
of
the
material
that
it's
being
sprayed
on
and
here's
a
better
example.
E
This
is
nice
and
sealed
over
here
where
the
micro
seal
has
been
applied,
and
this
is
the
old
porous
surface
right
adjacent
to
it,
and
you
can
see
here
that
all
of
the
asphalt
that
was
originally
on
this
surface
has
been
bled
off
or
scraped
off
by
wear
and
you
can
actually
see
the
individual
rocks,
and
this
is
the
purpose
of
the
micro
seal
is
to
rejuvenate
the
surface.
Yes,
Dan
done
what.
E
Well,
the
traditional
chip
seal,
the
rocks
are
a
little
bit
more
exposed
on
the
surface,
and
they
can
be
a
little
bit
tougher
on
the
cutting
edges
of
the
snowplows.
So
this
should
be
a
little
bit
more
friendly
on
the
snowplow
and
primarily
we're
going
to
use
these
type
of
surfaces
initially
on
our
primary
minor
collector
routes
such
as
First
Avenue.
You
know
camp
and
all
of
our
quarter
mile
roads.
E
Otherwise
that
bleeds
through
it.
This
is
such
a
thin
application
that
that
those
lines
will
actually
somewhat
reflect
through
this
surface
or
if
it's
new
enough
paint,
it
actually
is
adverse
to
the
adherence
and
penetration
of
this
material
into
the
surface
blow
it.
So
so
that's
one
thing
that
you'll
see
when
we
get
ready
for
this
this
operation
is
that
they'll
be
out
there
grinding
those
stripes
off
or
getting
rid
of
the
pavement
stripes
and
then
we've
got
of
course,
reapplied
the
striping
over
the
top
of
this
surface.
E
Is
very,
very
highly
technical
construction,
in
fact,
the
closest
contractor
to
our
region
using
Saint,
Cloud
Minnesota,
and
just
to
give
you
an
idea
how
far-reaching
and
for
competition
these
projects
are
the
current
contractor.
That's
hired
to
do
the
work
of
this
nature
and
Sioux
Falls
for
the
summer
is
from
Arizona
or
Utah
I
can't
remember
which,
but
one
of
the
other
bidders
is
from
Kansas
City
Missouri
area.
E
So
this
is
highly
unique
and
it's
very
few
contractors
involved
in
in
this
type
of
construction
at
this
point
and
the
city
of
Sioux
Falls
has
had
great
success
with
it,
and
so
we
thought
we
would
give
it
a
try
and
see
how
it
works
for
our
operations.
You
know.
Ideally,
this
is
gonna,
give
us
7
or
10
years
of
more
life
on
a
street
surface,
so
I
mean
let's
hope
that
we
get
those
kind
of
results.
E
E
Yep
and
that's
because
that
this
is
my
surface,
it's
supposed
to
it's
kind
of
like
painting
your
walls,
it
that
oil
impregnates
those
little
ones,
but
it
doesn't
have
the
structure
to
bridge
the
inch
gaps.
You
know
like
for
crack
sealing
so
but-
and
you
can
see
a
couple
of
these
pictures
when
I
talk
about
see
how
they
deliberately
went
next
to
the
stripe,
they
didn't
actually
go
over
striping.
E
You
see
them
see
how
they
stopped
on
either
side
of
of
some
arrows
that
they
wanted
to
pave
so
there's
different
techniques
that
people
try
to
do
we're
not
gonna
get
that
fancy
here.
We're
gonna
just
try
to
like
this.
One
here
is
paving
alongside
the
stripe
rather
than
over
the
stripe,
but
we're
just
gonna
pave
over
ours
and
and
or
you
know,
remove
the
stripes
and
repaint
them
we're
not
going
to
get
too
too
crazy
and
trying
to
preserve
a
little
piece.
But
so
this
is
unique,
we'll
try
it
we'll
learn
from
it.
K
E
But
one
advantage
we
have-
or
at
least
we
feel
that
we
have
and
want
to
try
to
take
advantage
of-
is
the
fact
that
the
cities
of
Sioux
Falls
Brandon
and
several
of
the
other
surrounding
communities.
Now
there
don't
run
the
Sioux
Falls
area
are
doing
these
on
an
annual
basis
and
that
I
would
suspect
at
some
point.
E
The
Brookings
is
and
Mitchells
and
others
will
probably
follow
suit,
and
if
we
get
to
where
we
have
a
regional
project,
these
guys
are
going
to
come
in
and
they're
gonna
beat
each
other
up
pretty
bad
on
giving
us
good
prices
and
then
they're
going
to
come
into
a
region
and
do
the
whole
thing
so
they're
gonna
do
Sioux.
Falls
they're
gonna
do
Watertown
all
in
one
one
period
of
time
and
not
have
to
do
that
now.
E
A
E
I
A
F
F
E
F
E
And
subsequently,
we've
had
discussions
with
our
company
that
we
hired
to
ultimately
do
the
study
and
discuss
that
they
would
be
able
to
do
a
subsurface
stress
investigation
using
a
dyno
flecked.
It's
called,
but
basically
they
go
along
and
they
thump
the
road
with
something.
And
then
they
measure
how
the
sound
reflects
back
to
the
unit
and
what
they
can
do
is
tell
you
how
strong
the
pavement
is
and
what
the
underlying
subgrade
will
also
was
withstand
in
I.
E
Don't
know
all
the
technological
pieces
of
that,
but
that
can
all
be
done
in
lieu
of
taking
all
these
individual
cores
which
we
would
have
had
to
supply
information
to
the
company
and
then
they
would
have
had
they
incorporated
into
their
program
and
all
that
well,
if
we
have
them,
drew
it
directly
through
this
other
alternate
method
that
would
alleviate
us
from
having
to
buy
a
piece
of
equipment
and
hire
a
person
to
operate
it.
Of
course.
Ultimately,
they
quoted
us
twenty
nine
thousand,
eight
hundred
and
twenty
two
dollars
to
do
this
work.
A
Deflection
testing
work.
You
know
this
is
something
that
we've
been
looking
at,
and
I'm
gonna
just
break
in
welcome.
Beth
welcome
back
good
to
see
ya.
This
is
something
that
we've
been
looking
at
for
a
couple
three
years
almost
now
to
have
a
payment
management
system.
I
know
that
Sarah
was
very
involved
in
this
early
on
and
I'm
glad
to
see
us
moving
forward
with
this.
You
know
our
roads
are
so
expensive
to
to
fix
and
replace
yeah.
E
So
I
think
this
is
a
I'm
gonna,
ask
permission
to
amend
our
agreement
with
this
company
to
include
this
twenty
nine
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
tonight
and
we
think
it's
a
cost
value
that
we'll
get
easily
offset
from
what
our
original
plan
was,
and
you
see
the
you'll
see
in
the
memo
that
we
prepared
for
tonight's
meeting,
the
specific
dollars
and
and
the
advantage
that
we
see
that
this
will
do
for
us
rather
than
do
the
traditional
pavement
course.
But
if
there's
any
questions
on
this
item,
I
certainly
would
answer
them.
E
Otherwise,
you
know
I
just
wanted
you
to
have
some
more
background
of
why
you're
seeing
an
amendment-
and
we
do
have
some
grant
dollars
from
the
state
in
Rome
in
our
contract
there
to
include
a
portion
of
this
at
the
80/20
split,
and
that's
also
shown
on
that
memo
on
this
council
item.
So
it's
good
news
I
think
we
should
take
advantage
of
that
sheet.
E
This
one
says
for
$30,000:
I
can
get
it
on
all
streets,
I
think
I
would
start
with
all
streets
this
year
and
then
in
subsequent
years,
when
we
do
some
other
testing,
maybe
we
wouldn't
do
all
the
streets,
but
we
need
a
good
baseline
for
our
pavement
management
system
and
ID
be
remissed,
omit
something
that
might
be
important.
You.
I
A
M
E
Unfortunately,
the
way
in
not
just
the
community
of
Watertown,
but
throughout
the
region
we
tend
to
be
pothole
chasers,
we
fix
roads
after
the
potholes
develop,
hopefully
through
payment
management
systems,
we
identify
those
before
they
become
potholes
and
can
fix
them
sooner
and
make
things
last
longer.
Shane.
E
Yes,
I
would
say
that
the
state
of
South
Dakota
uses
this
type
of
pavement
management
assessment,
I'm
sure
that
Minnehaha
County
and
the
city
of
Sioux
Falls
did
that
as
well,
because
their
road
systems
are
so
enormous
that
what
you
could
do
this
for
in
a
week
or
twos
time.
Would
you
a
month
or
more
rustic
welcome
core.
So.
C
Dad
the
state
has
done
that
they've
got
their
own
van.
That's
that
the
thoughts
go
to
do
tease
a
leader
on
this
they've
developed
a
lot
of
the
technology.
They
do
and
they've
driven
every
street
state
highway
in
the
system
and
they
grade
the
highways
and
they
have
substantial
cost
savings
on
knowing
where
to
invest
and
when
and
quite
frankly,
what
not
to
invest
for
the
highway
it's
in
such
bad
shape,
then
right,
the
pothole
chasing.
You
might
tend
to
fix
it.
There's
times
you
just
let
it
go,
then
get
it
out
for
total
replacement.
F
E
May
do
some
of
that
if
we
feel
something
doesn't
add
up.
In
other
words,
if
we
look
at
their
data
and
the
data
says
this
thing's
a
cobblestone
road,
but
yet
when
you
walk
it,
if
it
looks
better,
we
may
have
to
do
some
coring
on
occasion,
I'm
fearing
that
it'll
be
just
the
opposite:
some
roads
that
we
thought
were
pretty
good
shape,
we'll
probably
find
that
aren't
up
to
par
and
we'll
need
more
aggressive
treatments.
E
K
E
We
want
it
to
be
this.
We
don't
want
the
soil
to
be
at
the
saturated
time
of
year,
so
in
other
words,
we
wouldn't
even
attempt
that,
right
now
because
of
the
frost,
it's
kind
of
sporadic
throughout
or
street
system.
Yet
we're
probably
looking
at
the
first
part
of
June
or
something
depending
on
spring
moisture
for
this
type
of
work
and.
E
F
A
A
K
C
O
C
O
D
A
A
I
will
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
aye
host
motion
carried
number
to
approve
the
agenda.
I
do
want
to
add
to
2.5
I'm
going
to
put
a
Craig
Atkins
on
there,
and
Craig
will
actually
be
talking
about
an
offer
of
purchase
of
some
land
from
Watertown
and
will
will
look
at
that.
So
at
this
time
I
look
for
a
motion
and
a
second
or
second.
K
A
Second,
by
Bruce
any
questions
concerns
Harry
now,
I,
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
okay
Craig.
If
you
want,
you
can
certainly
come
up.
He
just
got
this
in
his
hands
seconds
ago.
This
is
an
offer
to
purchase
some
land
from
the
city
of
Watertown.
That
was
brought
to
me
earlier
earlier.
I
think
it
was
Friday
afternoon
late
that
came
in.
So
if
you
want
to
just
give
us
a
little
heads-up
on
it,
Craig.
B
B
We
have
a
lot
in
the
injury's
industrial
park
that
it's
the
last
lot.
That's
there's,
there's
two
Lots
left
and
there's
one
lot,
that's
remaining
and
it's
right
next
to
a
BS,
Auto,
Body
solutions
or
just
to
the
west
of
integrity
to
land
die.
It's
a
3.5
acre
lot.
So
with
any
of
these
industrial
entries,
industrial
park
properties
or
any
other
properties
at
the
city
sells
for
an
industrial
or
commercial
purpose.
B
We
typically
get
involved
because
they
run
that
offer
through
our
office
and
we
bring
it
to
you.
In
this
particular
case.
We
received
the
mayor's
office,
received
this
offer
on
Friday
and,
and
so,
as
the
mayor
said,
I'm
just
looking
at
it,
but
it's
an
area
outlined
in
blue,
then
we're
talking
about
three
and
a
half
acres.
B
B
Present
it
get
your
feeling
as
it
relates
to
that.
But
at
this
point,
if
you
asked
me
what
my
recommendation
would
be
is
because
we've
sold
those
other
Lots
for
a
similar
amount.
Just
because
it
doesn't
work
for
him
doesn't
mean
it
might
not
work
for
somebody
else
in
terms
of
the
lot
dimensions
and
that
we
would
either
allow
them
to
counter
at
a
price
closer
to
what
we
want,
or
we
could
talk
about-
maybe
another
lot
either
in
that
park.
We
do
have
another
lot
in
that
park.
B
It's
a
lot
34
and
it's
north
of
the
detention
pond.
That's
out
there.
The
problem
with
that
lot
is
there's
no
road,
water
or
sewer,
and
so
from
a
cost
standpoint.
I,
don't
you
know
know
if
we're
really
splitting
hairs
here
or
not,
but
we
did
suggest
that,
as
maybe
a
more
appropriate
place
for
what
he's
proposing,
but
again
without
a
road
there,
somebody's
gonna
have
to
take
care
of
that
cost.
Craig.
B
B
That
heavily
yeah
and
incrementally
just
so,
you
know
historically
here
incrementally
those
lot
prices
have
gone
up.
They
started
at
about
10,000
an
acre,
but
that
was
before
there
was
any
infrastructure,
and
then
we
ramped
that
up
to
the
current
number
and
that
was
based
off
of
the
Lots
value,
increasing
because
of
the
improvements
that
we
made
so
and
the
other
thing
is
don't
think
about
this
as
your
traditional
infrastructure
improvement
that
you
might
have
on
private
property,
because
there
were
some
other
funds
involved
in
this.
B
The
city's
actual
costs
for
this
infrastructure
was
much
higher
than
50
cents
a
square
foot,
but
that
was
a
number
we
agreed
to
several
years
ago
because
we
felt
it
was
fair
and
we
also
felt
that
it
wouldn't
create
undue
competition
with
private
developers.
In
other
words,
we
wouldn't
be
undercutting
the
cost
of
the
Lots.
Well,.
K
Craig
one
question
or
thought
I
should
say:
is
they
look
at
this?
You
know.
In
our
work
session
we
talked
about
the
need
for
the
city,
buy
an
additional
land
for
this
type
of
development
in
Michelin
and
when
we
are
so
short
on
that
I
am
not
sure
why
we
would
cut
this.
The
sale
price
of
this
attacking
that
idea
of
that
notion
on
to
the
fact
that
we've
been
consistent
with
the
other
price.
B
J
B
We
actively
been
trying
to
sell
it.
We
haven't
listed
our
website,
we
don't
we
don't.
You
know
we're
not
running
it
through
a
realtor,
for
instance,
or
we
don't
have
it
listed
the
city
or
the
development
company.
We
don't
list
very
often
we'd,
some
of
our
properties,
but
not
very
often
so,
and
when
we
get
enquiries
about
available
properties,
you
know.
B
One
of
the
first
things
we
want
to
understand
is
what
type
of
business
and
how
much
land
do
you
need
and
then
once
we
know
that
we
kind
of
direct
them
towards
options,
and
we
always
encourage
them
to
look
at
private
development
first,
because
we're
not
trying
to
compete
with
the
private
developer.
That's
why,
when
we
did
this
part,
there
was
really
a
need
for
it.
B
B
I
B
A
Think
we
do
okay,
so
then
I
have
a
motion
by
bath,
a
second
by
Mike
to
decline.
The
offer
any
other
discussion
on
that
hearing.
None
I'll
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
aye
opposed
motion
care
Craig,
while
you're
still
here
and
can
Shane
before
you
dump
that
off.
Could
you
take
that
down
to
that
other
little
piece
of
properties?
So
you
guys
are
aware
of
it
on
14th,
Street
and
12th
Avenue
South
East.
This
is
another
location
that
he
was
looking
at.
A
N
A
It's
down
right
to
your
left.
We
own
that
corner.
Also
the
city
does
and
I
don't
know
if
you're
at
all
interested
in
selling
that
I,
because
the
guy
know
that
I
know
the
gentleman
wants
to
take
a
look
at
that
and
make
an
offer
on
that.
If
we're
not
interested
at
all,
I
mean
we
should
just
say
it
up
front.
He.
A
B
A
Right
number:
three:
application
for
transfer
of
ownership,
of
a
retail
on
off
sale;
malt
beverage
license
from
freedom,
value,
centers,
incorporated
noon;
business
as
gold
mine
at
225,
West,
Kemp,
JM,
B,
v,
LLC,
doing
business,
says
freedom,
value
centers
at
the
same
location.
At
this
time,
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
If
there's
anyone
wants
to
speak
in
favor
of
or
against
this
hearing,
none
I'll
close
the
public
hearing
I'm
going
to
look
for
a
motion
in
a
second
for
discussion
motion
by
Mike
second
by
Don.
Any
questions
on
this.
F
A
A
A
N
And
when
you
see
it,
I
mean
they're
they're
asking
for
a
transfer
of
ownership.
So
basically
the
owners
of
the
license
are
changing.
So
that's
what
this
license
is
is
if
somebody
else
is
purchasing
the
right
to
have
that
license,
and
then
we
go
through
the
whole
background
check
and
and
then
the
new
owners
of
that
license
would
be
listed
on
the
back
and
everybody
we
did.
A
background
check
on
would
be
on
the
back
of
that
license.
Application
right.
K
Up
in
the
back
one
line
sentence
saying
what
we:
what
is
the
purpose
of
this?
It's
a
change
of
ownership.
Staying
in
the
same
location
is
what
this
one
is
correct.
That's
correct
right,
but
for
me
to
go
through
this
whole
forum
and
try
to
figure
that
out
a
lot
of
times-
and
this
is
a
may
or
may
not
be
a
good
example,
but
a
lot
of
times
I
can't
tell
why
they're
doing
what
they're
doing
so.
That
would
help
immensely
for
me
anyway,
right.
A
Okay,
we'll
move
on
to
number
four
is
kind
of
the
same
thing:
application
for
a
transfer
ownership
of
a
retail
on
off
sale,
malt
beverage
license
from
freedom,
value
centers
in
incorporated
and
inactive
license
at
6:15,
9th
Avenue
southeast
to
JM
b6
LLC,
which
will
remain
inactive
at
the
same
location.
At
this
time,
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
If
there's
anyone
wants
to
speak
in
favor
of
or
against
this
hearing,
none
I'll
close
the
public
hearing
I'll
look
for
a
motion,
a
second
for
discussion
motion
by
Randy
second,
by
Beth.
P
A
P
I
A
A
At
this
time,
I'll
look
for
council
action.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
number
five
proposed
lease
agreement
with
Nick
and
Matt
Krantz
incorporated
for
city-owned
land
located
at
the
wastewater
facility
Mike.
If
you
want
to
come
up
here
in
the
meantime,
this
is
a
public
hearing.
I
will
open
that
at
this
time.
If
there's
anyone
wants
to
speak
in
favor
of
or
against
this
hearing,
none
I'll
close
the
public
hearing,
I'm
gonna,
look
for
I'll.
L
A
little
bit
about
it,
the
agreement
leases
for
small
sites
at
the
wastewater
facility
to
the
Nick
and
back
Kranz
farm.
The
term
is
three
years.
The
lease
has
the
option
to
be
renewed
for
three
additional
terms.
If
we
choose
to
do
so,
the
rent
was
increased
to
$55
an
acre
in
2015,
and
the
rent
is
for
the
three
small
tillable
sites
site
two
three
and
four,
that
they're
in
the
range
from
about
15
to
25
acres
each
and
the
total
rent
due
was
3030
$8.20.
L
Under
this
agreement,
the
lessee
he
must
is
responsible
for
weed
abatement
and
they
cannot
apply
fertilizer
to
any
of
the
sites
without
prior
written
authorization,
because
that
inhibits
our
ability
to
put
our
sludge
on
that
land.
Also
under
the
agreement,
the
lessee
acknowledges
that
the
city
retains
the
right
to
convey
any
or
all
of
the
sites
to
other
purposes,
such
as
the
shooting
range
that
we're
looking
at
right
now
and
in
the
event
that
some
of
the
properties
conveyed
to
another
purpose,
then
we
would
do
a
rent
adjustment
so.
D
L
L
That
is
the
big
one
number
one
there.
It's
actually
a
lot
of
it.
There's
a
it's
hard
compacted.
Berms
are
cells
of
old
wastewater,
it's
a
gravel
road
on
top,
and
then
there
are
wind
rolls
of
compacted
soil
with
rock
riprap
and
pipe
to
distribute
the
water
out
in
those
ponds.
So
there's
that
and
also
we
may
have
to
as
we
have
recently
for
our
ultraviolet
system
upgrade.
We
have
to
fill
those
at
time.
If
they
got
cut
hay
down
there
and
I
got
to
use
it
for
the
wastewater
plant
to
fill
it
with
water.
L
K
L
L
Could
we
we
just
increased
it
last
year?
These
these
pieces
are
so
small,
for
example,
like
two
is
15
and
a
half
acres
three
years,
11.4
acres
they're,
not
real
desirable,
so
we're
just
kind
of
keeping
the
crop
on
those
they're
right
out
our
back
gate,
so
we
can
put
sludge
on
it.
You
have
to
have
a
sludge
on
there
to
help.
Take
the
nutrients
to
take
our
sludge,
so
the
rent
a
little
bit
right.
L
L
A
Any
other
questions
for
my
hearing
on
outlook
for
council
action.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
opposed

carried.
Thank
you.

on

by
John
Bruce
second,
by
Glen
this
one
here
folks,
this
just
went
through
the
Planning
Commission.
Today
it
was
approved
unanimously
through
the
Planning
Commission
that
took
it
all
the
littles
at
little
addition
there,
which
went
up
to
the
purple,
not
the
one
on
the
East,
though
just
so
you
know
across
31st
Street
that
is
not
included
in
this.
A
A
All
right
any
questions
on
that
for
Shane,
you
guys
this
was
a
good
move
by
the
landowners
it
changed
at
all
at
this
particular
time.
So
at
this
time,
I'll
look
for
council
action.
All
those
in
favor
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
thanks.
Shane
number
8
authorization
for
the
police
department
to
accept
a
reimbursement
of
grant
funds
from
the
Department
of
Public
Safety
to
hold
two
training
events
in
2016.
A
Q
Q
As
much
as
I
need
here,
I
guess
we're
looking
at
trying
to
host
two
classes.
This
summer
the
state
department
of
our
office
of
Highway
Safety
gets
federal
money
that
they
receive
and
then
pass
through
to
local
jurisdictions
that
are
willing
to
host
training
classes.
These
are
in
the
line
of
Homeland
Security
preparedness.
Q
So
there's
two
like
what
we
call
SWAT
type
classes
that
we
were
selected
to
host
each
of
the
classes
cost
thirteen
thousand
seventy
eight
dollars
to
host
they
bring
instructors
in
from
from
all
over
the
three
and
then
our
police
officers
from
throughout
the
state
would
come
here
for
the
week
and
train
the
the
money.
The
thirteen
thousand
seventy-eight
dollars
is
all
completely
reimbursed
by
the
office
of
highway
or
the
Office
of
Homeland
Security,
but
it
does
require
us
to
pay
for
the
class
up
front
to
the
vendor.
Q
That's
providing
a
training,
so
it'll
show
us
in
the
red
temporarily
until
we
get
reimbursed
by
the
state,
they
provided
us
a
letter
that
shows
that
they
will
reimburse
us
in
the
end.
So
we're
just
looking
for
approval
to
move
forward
with
that
and
to
kind
of
go
into
the
red
and
then
be
reimbursed
later.
I
think.
A
Q
One
more
thing:
I
mean
the
training
locally
in
Watertown
is
advantageous
to
us,
because
we
don't
have
to
pay
for
hotel
room
and
fuel
and
and
food
when
we
send
five
or
six
of
the
officers
to
somewhere
else
to
do
that.
So
it's
it's
kind
of
a
hassle
to
have
to
pay
for
it
upfront.
But
it
saves
us
a
ton
of
long-run
because
they
can
sleep
in
their
own
beds.
How.
Q
L
F
A
M
A
Okay,
moving
on
thanks,
Ryan
number
nine
consideration,
amendment
to
the
agreement
with
IMS
Inc
for
the
payment
management
study.
This
is
what
we
all
just
kind
of
looked
at
earlier
in
a
work
session.
What
I'll
do
is
I'll
look
for
a
motion,
a
second
for
discussion
and
we'll
have
Shane.
Take
it
over
motion
by
Beth
second,
by
Brad
Shane
is
there?
A
E
E
Is
this
twenty
nine
thousand
eight
twenty
two
it
would
be
grant
eligible
up
to
the
cap,
and
then
the
city's
portion
would
be
20%
of
what
up
to
the
cap
and
then,
of
course,
anything
that
falls
over
the
cap
would
be
more
so
just
for
comparisons.
We
were
looking
at
about
a
forty
five
to
six
thousand
dollar
city
share
with
the
approval
of
this,
and
if
we
can
get
it
through
the
more
dollars
to
the
grant,
it's
we're.
Looking
at
twenty,
eight
thousand
four
hundred
and
so
on,
simple
math
I
think
it's
a
worthwhile
thing.
C
A
Okay,
at
this
time,
I'll
look
for
counsel
action.
All
those
in
favor
say
aye
opposed
motion
carried
thanks.
Shane
also
number
10
consideration
of
bids
received
for
the
2016
street
improvement
project.
This
time,
I
will
look
for
motion.
A
second
for
discussion
will
ashame
that
explain.
What's
going
on
pushing
bike
one
second,
by
Donna,
okay,.
E
We
did
get
very
good
bids,
it
is
a
new
company
and
we've
done
some
homework
on
them.
I
am
not
sure
if
it's
pronounced
coal
or
keel
but
excavating
their
company
out
of
Hancock
Minnesota.
We
did
do
some
research.
We
did
not
find
any
negative
feedback
on
that,
so
we're
proposing
to
go
ahead
and
award
to
that
company.
They
did
have
a
little
bit
of
313
thousand
one
66,
which
is
11%
lower
than
our
estimated
engineers
cost
of
351,000
694.
E
We
did
have
three
other
bids
which
ranged
in
the
three
hundred
and
forty
six
thousand
dollar
range
to
just
under
three
hundred
and
ninety.
The
good
news
that
that
you
don't
see
on
your
in
your
packet
is:
we
did
a
comparison
and
when
we
did
our
preliminary
assessment
hearing
with
the
folks
that
owned
property
along
there,
we
were
given
them.
For
instance,
one
segment
had
a
estimated
cost
of
91
to
$96
per
foot
with
these
new
bids.
That
more
realistic
number
is
about
$71
a
foot
on
the
other
segment.
E
We
were
talking
about
110
to
115
dollars
per
linear
foot.
Those
actuals
are
closer
to
94
dollars.
A
foot
so
I
think
we
did
a
good
job.
Putting
our
project
together.
We've
gotten
good
bids,
I
hope
to
think
that
everybody
that
owns
property
along
there
would
see
the
value
that
we've
included
in
this
project
and
in
would
willingly
proceed
with
this
project.
At
this
point
and
that's
what
our
recommendation
is
that
we
award
to
this
contractor
and
proceed
with
the
project.
F
F
A
Here
are
the
questions
for
Shane
hearing
none
I'll,
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
number
11
consideration
of
bids
received
for
the
2016
sidewalk
accessibility
project.
This
time,
I'll
look
for
a
motion,
a
second
for
discussion
motion
by
Dan,
second,
by
Beth,
all
right
Shane.
If
you
want
to
take
on
that,
okay.
E
E
Last
year
this
year
we
decided
that
we
would
take
a
little
bit
more
conservative
approach
and
dissect
that
project
into
world
will
have
two
or
three
projects
over
the
course
of
the
next
couple
of
years
to
complete,
we
did
get
a
good
bid
from
Tyzack
concrete
out
of
Law
Center
Minnesota.
They
have
done
work
for
us
in
the
past.
They
are
actually
one
of
the
premier
sidewalk
companies
in
the
state
of
Minnesota.
They
go
all
over.
They
bang
out
their
work,
really
fast.
I
mean
they're,
fast,
efficient
and
and
really
good
to
work
with.
E
E
So
what
we
may
actually
do
is
look
at
some
of
the
fringe
areas
in
in
our
program
and
add
those
but
I,
wouldn't
do
that
without
seeking
permission
from
you
folks
to
do
so,
but
I
mean
we
do
have
budget,
we
could
could
potentially
add
a
few
sidewalk
segments
in
if
desired
and
we'll
we'll
bring
that
forward
to
you.
If
we
see
something
that
we
really
want
to
accomplish
this
summer,
we
are
incorporating
work
for
the
park
system.
E
In
this
we
have
actually
four
different
segments
of
sidewalk
improvements
in
this
park
system
that
we're
going
to
take
care
of
through
this
project
for
Jay
and
I.
Think
those
are
much-needed
improvements
to
those
park
segments
in
there
again
well
within
his
budget
completes.
So
we
have
no
questions
about
making
a
recommendation
to
award
this
contract
at
this
time.
Any.
E
A
Kind
of
hold
that
budget
back
a
little
bit
yeah
we're
gonna,
wait.
We're
gonna,
wait
just
a
little
bit
on
that
yeah
good
idea,
we're
not
going
there
all
right,
we're
gonna
hold
off
just
a
little
bit.
There
may
be
some
other
projects
that
Shane
wants
to
do.
Okay,
so
anyhow,
any
other
question
questions
on
that
hearing.
None
I'll,
look
for
counsel
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
motion
carries
Shane.
A
E
Do
have
an
end
date
as
with
all
of
our
contracts
and
I
I.
Don't
have
that
number
right
in
my
head,
but
usually
what
we
try
to
do
is
wrap
those
up
before
school
starts
if
possible,
and
this
company
will
because
they're
from
out
of
town
they'll
come
in
they'll,
get
it
all
done
and
lined
up
and
get
done
in.
We
won't
know
what
they're
proposed
start
time
is
until
you
know
now
that
we've
make
an
award,
we'll
will
have
a
pre-construction
conference
and
we'll
define
all
those
particular
schedules
at
that
time.
Perfect.
A
And
then
I
just
wanted
to
mention
too
under
old
business
here,
I'm
gonna
slide
or
to
the
next
one
I'm
going
to
the
county
meeting
tomorrow
morning
and
we'll
be
discussing
the
Cooke
complex.
You
know
they
they
agreed
to
125
thousand
dollars
to
put
on
the
on
the
north
side
of
the
complex
I.
Think
our
estimate
is
up.
Nine
thousand
dollars
from
that,
we'll
ask
them
if
they're,
if
they're,
okay,
with
with
doing
that,
I
still
expect
it's
going
to
come
in
under
that,
but
we'll
just
make
sure
that
they're
there
on
board.
E
K
Just
got
a
couple
comments:
I
have
gotten
some
calls
and
and
almost
got
hit
myself
in
the
round
about
up
by
the
schools,
I'm.
Confident
that
the
reason
being
is
we
all
educated
to
be
yielding
to
the
right
when
we
should
be
yielding
to
the
left
up
there.
I
is
the
signage
up
there
adequate
for
that
or
is
there
something
else
that
we
could
do
to?
K
Maybe
I
did
get
some
I
got
call
today
that
a
gentleman
had
had
had
two
incidents
very
recently
at
roundabouts
in
the
same
scenario
and
I
have
myself
because
I
travel
that
a
lot
I've
had
others
mentioned
that
to
me.
Yes,
sir
and
I
looked
at
the
signage
the
other
day
and
it
you
know
once
you
do
it
and
get
used
to
looking
left
you're
fine,
but
is
there
something
that
we
could
do
up
in
that
area
to
maybe
bring
more
attention
to
that
yield?
Left
I.
E
Will
say
that
the
signage
that's
there
is
pretty
much
a
national
standard.
I
mean
it
doesn't
change
a
lot
if
you
go
from
state
to
state
and
in
community
community
I
think
what
I
actually
observed
more
of
the
opposite.
It's
those
people
that
hesitate
and
don't
continue
into
the
roundabout
that
can
create
more
potential
conflicts
than
those
that
rush
in
I
mean.
Obviously,
if
you
see
something
that's
very
closely
coming
around,
in
other
words,
you
can't
wait
till
that
car
gets
too
close
to
you
and
then
try
to
pull
out
in
front
of
you.
E
You
roll
into
that
thing,
and
the
car
that's
coming
around
does
have
to
yield
to
that
other
car
as
well
I
mean
it's
a
merging
event.
It
one
has
to
give
to
the
other,
depending
on
where
you're
located
within
the
circle.
So
it
is
an
education
piece.
Each
person
has
to
educate
themselves
on
how
to
safely
operate
it,
but
it's
not
a
unique.
K
K
A
P
Know
I
can
I
make
a
suggestion.
This
is
what
I
tell
people
that
call
me
about
the
roundabouts
in
using
it
is
I
suggest
to
them
that
they
take
hours
of
the
day
that
are
less
traveled,
whether
that's
in
the
evening
or
middle
of
afternoon,
depending
on
their
schedule
and
come
at
it
from
every
direction
and
just
get
used
to
the
idea
of
merging
from
this
way,
and
from
this
way,
and
from
that
way
and
you'll
find
that
pretty
soon
it
does
become
second
nature.
K
P
A
Another
thing
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that
I
was
up
at
the
community
center
today
and
went
through
and
it
is
moving
extremely
fast,
Mike
I
know
you
were
up
on
a
tour.
If
you
want
to
give
a
little
little
heads
up,
it
was
was
exciting
to
see
what
they're
doing
there
was
there's
I
think
a
lot
of
concrete
being
poured
every
day.
They've
got
gosh
I've
seen
one
of
the
the
rec
centers
basketball
court
was
poured
and
yeah.
K
You
know,
and
we
first
started
this
thing-
there
was
a
lot
of
infrastructure
underground
and
people
got
nervous
because
nothing
was
going
up
and,
and
it
takes
that
time
well
now
the
primary
building
is
up.
You
really
don't
see
anything
going
on,
it's
all
interior
for
the
most
part,
and
so
we
didn't
take
it
to
her
last
week,
took
the
rec
center
board
up
there
last
week,
went
through
it
like
the
mayor,
suggested.
K
Most
of
the
floors
are
poured
the
primary
areas
that
weren't
poured
last
week
were
the
geums,
and
there
is
actually
a
storage
room
or
two
that
in
hallway
that
weren't
done
so
those
will
get
worked
on
really,
probably
by
sometime
next
week,
I'm
guessing
that
that
probably
all
the
concrete
interior
will
be
poured
there
starting
a
lot
of
the
interior
stubbing
out
of
the
walls
that
are
going
on
in
there,
and
so
you
kind
of
get
lost
in
in
steel
beams.
So
it's
coming
along
really.
Well,
they
look
to
start
digging.
A
A
K
A
I
can
do
it
only
in
the
big
gymnasiums
just
to
kind
of
give
you
an
idea.
You
know
you
know
it's
big,
but
when
they
have
a
it's
a
smaller
size,
but
there's
a
road
grader
in
there
working
and
there's
two
or
three
Bobcats
working
and
then
they're
pouring
concrete
over
here.
Those
those
folks
are
moving
and
that's
all
by
great
construction
is
doing
that
concrete
work
in
there.
So
it's
fun
it's
fun
to
see
them
move
yeah,
that's
crazy!
Any
other
questions
you
guys
have
any
old
business
or
new
business
I.
I
L
I
I
K
A
Yeah
and
Shane,
just
put
it
up,
there
were
where
we're
actually
proposing
the
gun
range
to
go.
We're
looking
at
more
like
two
projects
is
just
how
I
would
consider
it.
The
first
project
will
be
really
closely
tied
in
with
the
game,
fish
and
parks,
and
that
will
be
your
outdoor
range
that
we're
looking
at
the
outdoor
range,
probably
more
on
the
south
side
of
that
lot,
and
and
because
we
can
use
some
fill
work
with
inside
the
floodway
or
a
floodplain
I'm.
A
Sorry,
we
can
move
dirt
around
there
as
long
as
we
aren't
messing
in
the
floodway
that
should
I'm
really
hoping
there's
a
good
chance
that,
with
the
game,
fish
and
parks,
how
they're
looking
at
it,
how
the
city
is
looking
at
it
that
that
first
project
could
get
started.
Yet
this
fall
and
and
have
that
outdoor
range
working,
that's
going
to
be
a
hundred
two
hundred
yard
and
three
hundred
yard
plus
pistol
ranges,
I
think
they
go
twenty-five
and
fifty
yards
for
the
outdoor
pistol.
The
second
part
of
it
is
an
indoor
range.
A
We
have
not
come
to
any
conclusion
yet
of
what's
what's
happening
on
there.
I
was
at
a
a
conference
in
Alabama
here
this
last
week.
It's
very
interesting
to
follow
that,
because
there's
there's
so
many
things
that
that
have
to
take
place.
There's
ventilation,
problems,
there's:
how
do
you
get
rid
of
the
lead
problems?
There's
just
many
many
things.
Do
we
have
retail
inside
of
it?
Do
we
have
just
pistol
range?
Do
we
have
a
short-range
rifle
in
there?
Do
we
do?
A
We
have
bow
and
arrow
in
there
there's
so
many
unanswered
questions
and
that's
what
this
group
of
about
20
people
are
doing
right
now,
we're
we're
looking
at
that
we
are
going
to
take
a
ride
down
to
Brookings
and
garrison
garrison.
Is
it
Garrett's
Garretson
and
take
a
look
at
their
ranges?
They
actually
did
it
within
themselves.
They
had
their
own
engineering.
That
did
it.
We
need
to
talk
to
them
and
see
how
it
worked
out,
what
their
cost
is
per
square
foot
to
get
it
done.
A
But
this
is
a
project
that
it's
gonna
take
a
little
bit
of
time,
especially
with
the
indoor
gun
range.
We
want
to
do
it
right
if
we're
gonna,
do
it?
Let's,
let's
do
it
right.
So
there's
a
huge
safety
factor
that
goes
into
play
here:
can
they
can
they
watch
somebody
shoot?
Can
they
not
but
you're,
looking
more
in
the
year
2017
in
order
to
get
that
that
project
down
in
there
well.
K
Marin
that
and
the
remind
you,
know
the
public
that
that
the
real
one
of
the
real
needs
for
that
indoor
range
is
so
that
the
current
indoor
range
that's
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
can
be
vacated.
It
was
a
probably
a
good
decision
way
back
when,
but
it's
just
not
an
appropriate
place
for
that
anymore,
and
and
as
they
look
to
have
their
plans
for
that
facility,
we
will
need
them
to
have
a
new
location
for
a
range
and
that's
what's
really
what
the
impetus
between
driving
that
so.
A
With
this
thing,
they're
they're
extremely
happy
to
see
the
property
used
in
the
right
way,
and
we
were
worried
that
you
know
they
all
run
some
cattle
out
there
and
they
said
you
know
those
cows
are
ok
they're,
they
can
take
it,
not
the
shots,
but
they
can
take
the
noise.
So
we're
good
with
that.
So
everything's
going
smooth,
Dan
you've
been
in
those
meetings
and,
although
you
were
out
for
the
last
one,
I
think
and
it's
going
good
and
it's
a
great
group
of
people,
you
know
just
so.
