A
B
Just
for
a
couple
points
of
order,
anybody
who
has
the
plumeria
budget
book
printed
or
has
viewed
it
I'm,
just
a
brief
introduction
to
that.
The
first
part
of
the
book
is
basically
the
only
part
or
the
only
place,
you'll
find
the
detail
of
the
revenue
sections
for
each
fund,
because
we
have
so
many
different
departments.
It's
hard
to
put
the
revenues
in
with
the
expenditures
without
copying
them
a
lot
of
time
and
wasting
some
paper.
B
So
all
of
the
revenues
in
detail
there's
there's
little
snippets
of
it
within
each
of
the
word
pages,
but
you'll
find
the
details
in
the
first
part.
The
second
part
is
the
department's
that
we're
going
to
review
this
evening
and
the
third
part
will
be
all
of
the
departments,
except
for
the
airport
that
we
will
be
doing
tomorrow
night
because
of
operational
necessity.
The
airport
will
be
discussed
this
evening,
so
that
Todd
can
be
present,
because
you
will
not
be
able
to
be
present
tomorrow
night.
B
So
that
is
just
one
little
change
that
we
have
for
this
evening.
How
this
will
work
is
that
each
department
will
come
up
and
they
will
make
a
brief
five
to
six
minute
presentation.
If
you
could
wait
to
ask
any
questions
until
they're
completed
with
their
presentation,
it
will
allow
them
to
finish
in
a
timely
manner.
It
will
also
allow
them
to
get
out
what
they
want
to
have
out
and
not
get
delayed
or
off-track
also
with
time.
B
We
will
end
this
at
9:30
just
for
the
sake
of
putting
in
a
long
day
and
having
the
other
one
tomorrow
night.
So
please
make
sure
that
you
have
your
questions,
prepared.
Listen
to
the
questions,
try
not
to
make
the
same
comment
or
ask
the
same
question
twice
so
that
we
just
can
make
sure
that
it
that
it
keeps
moving
along
at
any
time.
The
public
is
welcome
to
ask
any
questions.
Make
any
comments
at
any
point.
B
If
you
could
please,
if
you
have
a
question
or
comment
that
you
need
to
make,
you
need
to
come
up
to
the
podium,
you
need
to
put
the
microphone
on
and
you'll
see
the
little
green
dot
light
up.
You
need
to
state
your
name
and
then
just
have
a
minute
or
two
to
say
what
your
question
concern
is
and
who
you're
addressing
it
to
and
then
once
you're
done,
you
can
go
back
and
sit
down
mm-hmm
if
there's
any
changes
that
need
to
be
made.
B
There
needs
to
be
a
motion
in
a
second
and
at
that
point
mayor.
If
you
just
want
to
go,
take
back
over
since
you're
the
chair
of
the
council
and
ask
for
any
discussion
and
then
you'll
take
a
vote
on
that
before
we
can
move
on
to
any
other
business
and
then
those
changes
will
be
incorporated
into
the
final
budget
ordinance
that
will
be
on
first
reading
on
that
first
meeting
in
September.
B
Okay,
so
as
we
go
along
I'll,
just
I'll
briefly
introduce
the
fund
or
department
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
any
comments
that
I
have
about
about
any
of
that
and
then
the
department
or
on
some
of
these
first
ones.
Anybody
from
the
audience
that's
here
from
that
organization,
that's
being
contributed
to
can
come
up
at
any
time
and
then
we'll
go
through
any
presentation
that
you
might
have.
Does
anybody
have
any
questions
from
the
council
Shelley.
C
B
C
B
C
B
B
B
So,
on
the
first
one
on
the
equipment,
maintenance
that
you'll
see
that
we
offset
that
fifty
thousand
with
a
transfer
from
the
general
fund.
So
basically
the
third
penny
sales
tax
is
not
paying
for
the
maintenance
at
the
event
center.
The
general
fund
first
penny
is
paying
for
that
I
mean
as
a
city-owned
building
and
that's
the
agreement
that's
been
made.
The
rest
of
it
is
just
basically
the
utilities
and
the
cable
service
for
that.
B
B
B
It's
put
in
here
with
the
anticipation
that
that
is
something
that
you
want
to
continue
doing
and
continue
supporting.
So
that's
something
that
that
that
90,000,
you
need
to
make
sure
that
that's
something
that
you
still
do
want
to
support.
The
other
is
the
second
half
of
that
hundred
thousand
dollar
commitment
with
Ryan,
and
so
that's
also
in
there.
E
B
Yep
because
50,000
of
it
will
come
out
in
2017
and
that's
the
budget
for
the
other
50,000,
so
that
makes
up
that
$90,000.
The
second
line
is,
is
the
convention
Visitors
Bureau
and
you
can
see
their
history.
You
can
see
where
they've
been
budgeted
and
they're
asking
for
a
$5,000
increase,
all
the
other
line
items
our
line,
items
that
are
either
bill
to
or
requested
by
the
chamber
so
and
there
has
been
no
change
from
the
previous
year.
B
So
the
fourth
of
July,
billboard
rentals
for
the
city,
advertising
downtown
decoration,
so
I,
guess
any
City
decorations
for
banners
or
whatever
the
mayor's
ad
campaign,
which
is
advertising
for
the
city
and
then
the
40,000
is
basically
just
a
contribution
to
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
and
they
can
spend
it
for
for
whatever
purposes
they
wish.
We've
never
asked
them
for
a
breakdown
on
how
they
spend
that
$40,000.
B
B
That's
given
to
us
by
the
through
the
county
or
3%,
whichever
is
is
less,
and
so
this
year
the
CPI
was
1%,
so
by
contract,
their
amount
that
they
received
for
2018,
increased
1%
and
then
the
transfer
out
to
the
park
and
Rec
that's
to
help
offset
the
the
subsidy
from
the
general
fund,
and
there
is
no
change
on
that
one.
So
I
think
what
I
will
do
is
I
will
go
back.
B
B
B
The
I
am
a
conservative
person
by
Nature
and
so
I
increased.
The
third
penny
sales
tax
anticipation,
but
it's
probably
still
lower
than
how
we're
trending
for
2017.
The
reason
that
I
did
that
is
I
have
some
concern.
This
isn't
trending
the
same
way
that
our
regular
two
penny
sales
tax
is,
and
so
without
any
really
good
reasons.
Why
other
than
we're
we're
I,
don't
know
we're
drinking
more
and
we're
eating
out
more,
but
we're
not
spending
any
money
anywhere
else,
I'm,
not
sure
what
that
is,
but
it's
just
as
trending
a
lot
higher.
B
So
I
don't
know
if
at
some
point
that's
going
to
slow
itself
down
if
you
know,
without
having
a
really
good
reason.
Why
and
and
I'm
just
not
100%
sure
I
get
a
little
more
nervous
about
whether
that's
going
to
continue
to
trend
up
or
whether
it's
eventually
going
to
hit
a
plateau
and
start
to
slow
down.
Like
our
other
two
penny,
sales
tax
has
been
because
our
other
two
sales
penny
sales
tax
has
done
better,
and
this
was
doing
worse
and
now
we
flip-flopped
and
and
I'm,
not
a
hundred
percent
sure
and
I.
B
Look
at
things
and
I
read
things
from
the
state
and
I
just
I
can't
I
just
can't
pinpoint
a
good
reason
why
there
is
just
such
a
dramatic,
a
ten
percent
increase
over
here
and
about
a
half
a
percent
decrease
on
the
other
side.
So
I
wanted
to
keep
that
conservative
and
and
with
the
anticipation
that
we
would
exceed
that,
but
just
so
that
you
know
you
know
the
the
revenue
projections
is
rate
at
that
forty
five.
B
B
So
does
anybody
want
to
have
any
conversation,
I
think
you're
kind
of
locked
in
to
the
additional
fifty
thousand,
because
that
was
that
that
was
really
just
a
hundred
thousand
dollar
contract
you,
but
the
forty
thousand
that's
renewable
each
year
for
17,
18,
19
I,
know
you
councilmembers
and
welcome
I'll.
Put
you
as
being
here
instead
of
apps.
D
F
E
Just
just
to
jump
in
here,
as
you
may
recall,
Randy
Tupper
and
Beth
Monte
were
the
two
council
members
that
were
involved
most
closely
with
them.
I
guess
I'd
be
interested
to
know
neither
one
Randy
I'm
no
longer
in
the
council
and
Beth
taking
a
leave
be
interesting
to
know
what
their
perspective
is
being
closest
to
it.
As
far
as
this
group
is
concerned,.
C
B
G
I
would
say
probably
the
next
step,
then
mayor
would
be
to
probably
a
point
or
get
somebody
to
volunteer
to
to
be
the
point
person
for
that,
and
just
just
so
everybody
knows
through
there
was
a
it
for
you
new
folks.
There
was
a
lot
of
discussion.
There
were
several
meetings
that
we
met
with
various
groups
that
would
provide
this
type
of
service,
and
so
there
was
careful
selection
that
went
into
that
whole
process
and
I,
don't
believe,
there's
anybody
locally,
that
that
would
be
able
to
provide
the
services
that
they
were.
G
C
I
suggest
that
what
we
do
on
that
one
is
that
we
just
defer
that
response
until
maybe
even
tomorrow,
somebody
could
do
a
follow
up
with
them
to
get
some
information
as
to
what
has
occurred
today
and
what
the
plan
is
going
forward
and
timelines
I
think
we
do
need
to
get
that
update
before.
We
can
agree
to
continue
to
spend
money
so
well.
E
A
C
C
B
C
B
It
depends
I,
don't
have
my
lawyer
here
to
okay,
so
here's
the
deal
state
statute
says
that
between
first
and
second
reading,
any
substantive
changes
need
an
additional
reading.
We
don't
have
that
that
time.
Unless
we
schedule
a
special
council
meeting
state
statute
says
we
have
to
have
a
budget
ordinance
approved
no
later
than
September
30,
with
our
sales
tax
by
October
1
to
the
county,
so
that
second
meeting
there.
So
there
can't
be
any
substantive
changes
now.
B
I
will
leave
it
up
to
our
attorney
to
say
whether
a
forty
thousand
dollar
expenditure
being
pulled
is
a
substantive
change,
but
I
would
I
would
be.
I
would
be
a
little
careful
about
that
if
you
can
get
information
prior
to
that
coming
to
the
council
for
first
reading,
I'm
very
comfortable
with
that,
if,
if
justin
is
still
here
or
his
replacement,
is
comfortable
with
saying
that
that
is
not
a
substantive
change,
then
if
you
want
to
pull
it
at
that
time,
you
can
sure
do
that.
B
Otherwise,
you
can
leave
it
in
up
until
the
point
where
you
do
not
feel
comfortable.
Continuing
on
with
the
contract.
Cuz,
like
I,
said
another
one's
gonna
was
gonna,
come
they're
gonna
want
to
renewal.
They're
gonna
want
to
continue
the
relationship,
and
that
will
come
back
before
this
governing
body
and
you're
gonna
have
to
make
a
decision
one
way
or
the
other.
With
that.
We.
D
G
We
can
ask
you
a
question
moving
to
a
different
spot
here,
the
mayor's
ad
campaign.
You
know,
I,
see,
we've.
We
were
at
budget
at
52
to
54
17
and
we're
I
see
we're
at
25,000
a
parent
that
must
be
the
the
mayor's
projection,
for
that
was
that
mostly
the
shop
Watertown
campaign
to
buy
local
is
that
what
that
money
was
spent
for
for
the
most
you
know,
I
I.
B
B
Atures
should
actually
come
back
through
the
the
City
Council
for
an
appropriation
prior
to
any
of
that
being
approved,
and
so
that's
just
it's
something
that
I
did
not
get
an
answer
to,
but
we
need
to
go
back
through
and
look
at
that,
but
and
I
don't
know,
Tim
is
here,
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
that
process
how
what
the
mayor's
ad
campaign
is
used
for?
How
involved
the
mayor
is
with
that?
What
you
guys
use
those
funds
for
what.
H
Yep
so
at
that
point,
I
guess
I'm
not
sure
where
all
that
came
from,
but
we
kind
of
chalked
up
this
afternoon
to
that
and
Megan's
out
of
town,
so
I,
hopefully
Thursday
or
Friday
she's
back
in
town.
We
could
have
a
conversation
about
and
maybe
to
learn
something
about
that
and
share
it
back
with
you,
I
just.
G
B
B
That's
something
you
can
kind
of
take
back
I
know
you
know
every
mayor's
a
little
bit
different
on
how
they
work,
but
I
know.
Most
mayors
have
been
involved
in
some
conversation
on
how
that's
used
where
it's
used.
What
the
ads
say.
You
know
what
times
of
the
year
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
that
it's
getting
the
message
out
that
they
feel
is
appropriate.
It's
just
that
the
chamber
facilitates
all
of
those
and
gets
those
ads
in
there
and
kind
of
has
the
contracts
with
those
radio
stations,
television
stations.
C
G
C
One
thing
that
and
I'm
glad
Bruce
brought
this
up,
but
I
look
at
those
two
items
that
Bruce
had
just
mentioned.
You
got
the
mayor's
ad
campaign
and
$40,000
to
the
chamber
and
I'm
gonna
venture
a
guess
that
we
really
don't
know
how
that
money's
being
spent,
and
that's
too
much
money
for
us
to
not
have
a
plan
in
detail
for
how
that
money
is
spent.
We
would
require
that
of
anybody
else.
I
think
we
need
to
know
if
we're
gonna
give
$65,000
exactly
how
that
money
is
to
be
spent.
E
B
Some
and
it
it's
changes
flip-flopped
we
used
to
have
everything
itemized
and
they
had
to
submit
invoices,
and
then
a
decision
was
made
I'm
thinking
when
Gary
Williams
might
have
been
mayor
to
just
lump
it
into
one
lump
sum
and
say:
here's
the
money
and
then
do
what
you've
been
doing
with
it.
But
we
don't
need
to
see
any
detail.
B
What
was
left
from
that
$80,000
we
were
giving
to
the
chamber
in
one
lump
sum:
was
that
40,000
and
at
that
time
you
know,
mayor
Thorson
made
the
determination
that
that
chamber,
you
guys
have
a
purpose
for
that
and
just
go
ahead
and
ask
for
that
which
they
were
doing
in
$20,000
chunks
twice
a
year,
and
so
it's
really
up
to
you
guys
appropriating
the
money.
If
you
want
some
additional
documentation
for
that
40,000,
then
this
is
the
time
to
have
that
conversation
so
that
everybody
kind
of
knows
the
rules
coming
in
to
2018.
B
C
E
I
E
Agree
wholeheartedly
with
that
and
and
I
thought
it
was
being
done
more
than
apparently
it's
honest
because
again
going
back
to
my
experience
when
I
was
in
the
chamber
board,
the
chamber
does
not
view
that
as
being
a
subsidy
from
the
city
for
its
operations.
As
far
as
the
chamber
is
concerned,
those
are
expenses
being
incurred
for
the
city.
Now
I
was
not
aware
that
there
was
not
a
you
know:
dollar
for
dollar.
B
B
Okay,
I
see
Julie's
here
from
the
CVB.
So
if
Julie,
if
you
want
to
come
up-
and
if
you
want
to
just
briefly
go
over
kind
of
what
your
plan
is
for
2018
and
some
of
the
budget
numbers
that
you
provided
and
then
the
revenue
sources
that
you're
gonna
use
for
that,
and
then
we
can
open
it
up
for
any
additional
questions
they
have
on
that.
Cbb
line
item
can.
J
J
Okay,
I
am
Julie
Knudsen
I'm,
an
executive
director
of
the
Convention
and
Visitor's
Bureau.
For
anybody
who
isn't
not
aware
of
that,
we
really
didn't
we.
We,
we
came
in
last
year
with
a
larger
request.
I
keep
threatening
to
ask
ask
for
a
lot
of
money
and
I
haven't
done
it
yet
so
I'm
thinking
2019
is
the
year,
but
anyway
we
have,
as
you
can
see
the
health
benefits
and
contributions
and
salaries.
J
J
Is
up
a
little
bit
and
that's
just
because
of
the
retainer
that
we
have
with
qlik
rain,
because
we
installed
to
see
around
the
customer
relationship
management
and
also
a
customer
marketing
manager
on
there
as
we're
putting
in
conventions
and
information
about
tournaments,
and
things
like
that,
we'll
be
able
to
pull
that
data
and
market
to
those
people
as
well.
So
the
retainer
is
a
bit
more
than
it
used
to
be
we're
not
going
to
buy
any
software
this
year.
We
are
really
fully
loaded
with
whatever
we
need
for
software.
J
The
sports
tourism
business
is
where
we
make
a
lot
of
our
money.
We've
got
a
lot
of
new
infrastructure
here.
I
came
in
kind
of
in
the
middle
of
a
lot
of
those
things
being
built
really
having
been
involved
in
that
so
I
been
doing
a
lot
more
traveling,
so
we
will
do
on
the
National
Association
of
Sports
Commission's
conference.
Again
this
year,
I
handed
out
some
marketing
to
you
guys.
J
We
did
some
really
hard-hitting
marketing
this
year
for
the
Wellness
Center
we've
got
the
new
ball
field
know
we
need
to
get
out
and
get
some
photos
taken
of
that.
So
we
really
need
to
spend
some
money
trying
to
bring
those
tournaments
in
because
actually
with
every
family
that
brings
their
kids
to
those
tournaments.
We
make
about
three
times
as
much
money
as
we
do
in
the
third
penny:
sales
tax
and
all
the
first
two
pennies
for
that
matter.
J
So
that
is
where
we're
gonna
focus
we're
going
to
be
doing
the
training
with
our
new
person
and
then
in
2019.
We
want
to
really
go
full
force
where
we
have
the
sports
sports.
Tourism
will
be
a
huge
focus
for
us.
Once
we
get
everything
set
in
place,
hunting
and
fishing,
we
will
still
do
some
of
those
shows.
I
know
that
the
mayor
last
year
and
John
did
a
sports
show
and
that
was
paid
for
by
the
city.
J
So
we
are
going
to
put
together
a
budget
with
the
shows
that
we
are
going
to
attend
and
see
if
the
Northwest
sports
show
is
going
to
be
a
possibility.
This
year,
not
we
are
signed
up
for
pheasant
fest
this
year
in
Sioux.
Falls,
so
shows
are
really
it's
an
expensive
thing,
but
I
think
it's
a
very
important
thing,
so
we
we
will
be
doing
several
shows
outside
the
area
in
2018,
and
we
also
did
in
2017
our
local
event.
J
Marketing
is
our
posters
that
we
send
out
it's
all
of
the
the
radio
ads
that
we
do
anything
talking
about
local
events,
regionally,
that
is
not
placed
by
our
national
advertising
that
the
bid
board
pays
for
so
really
to
market
our
local
events
regionally
to
bring
day-trippers
in
not
necessarily
the
overnighters,
but
the
people
that
will
come
for
the
day
for
things
like
the
fireworks,
the
parades
just
any
kind
of
event
that
we
have.
So
what
else
do
we
have
we're?
J
J
We
would
like
to
bring
in
a
consultant
or
do
some
kind
of
like
work,
trying
to
make
sure
that
if
you
know
what
we
put
together,
we
put
together
properly
so
that
we
can
do
it
once
number
one
and
also
just
make
sure
that
we
we're
covering
everything,
we're
not
forgetting
anything
and
there's
just
a
lot
more
to
the
sports
tourism
aspect.
Also,
our
board
and
I
know
I
talked
to
Mayor
Karen
as
well
we'd
like
to
do
a
little
digging
around
in
millennial
marketing.
We've
got
a
very
different
generation
coming
up.
That.
J
Does
things
a
lot
differently
than
anyone
else
has
in
the
past.
They
do
a
lot
of
in
travel,
a
lot
of
shared
types
of
experiences.
We're
talking.
You
know
and
I
know
we're
too
small
for
uber,
but
we
do
need
to
try
and
fine-tune
our
transportation
options
in
water
tone
as
far
as
the
visitor
goes
also
as
far
as
Airbnb
and
things
like
that,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
the
tools
for
our
hotel
yers
to
make
sure
that
they
can
keep
up
once
the
Millennials
become
a
larger
part
of
the
market.
J
We
don't
want
to
be
behind
the
eight
ball
on
that.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
bringing
people
to
Watertown
for
that
we've
got
great
experiences
and
the
thing
that
kind
of
triggered
this
with
me
was
when
we
had
Matador
in
town
I
had
a
journalist
here
that,
and
a
lot
of
you
probably
did
see
the
articles
that
Matador
did,
but
she
is
a
millennial
through
and
through,
and
she
loved
water
tone,
and
you
have
to
talk
to
those
people
differently
and
I.
J
Think
it
also
Falls
true
for
retail
I
think
it
falls
true
for
every
aspect
of
the
community.
We
need
to
make
sure
that
we're
in
tune
with
what
they
want,
how
they
want
to
hear
it
and
how
they
want
to
purchase
it.
So
we
didn't
ask
for
a
lot
of
money.
An
extra
$5,000
I
think
that
there's
probably
some
research
out
there
that
maybe
some
of
the
universities
have
done
that
we
can
tap
into
that's
not
going
to
be
real
expensive.
J
We
just
need
to
find
what
those
avenues
are
and
if
we
run
into
something
that
we
think
is
gonna,
be
you
know
really
good,
we'll
come
back
and
talk
to
you
all
about
it
and
see.
If
maybe
it's
something
we
want
to
do
to
make
sure
that
we're
going
the
right
direction
is
it
you
know,
is
the
city
as
a
whole,
so
so
really
just
our
retained
earnings
and
of
twenty
eight
thousand
dollars
in
additional
$5,000
for
the
CVB
is
all
we're
asking
over
and
above
what
we've
normally
gotten.
J
J
The
thing
that
really
is
tripping
us
up
is
all
the
sports
venue
that
we
need
to
fill,
because
that
is
such
a
moneymaker
for
us
and
I
can
tell
you
that
I
filled
out
an
RFP
for
a
convention
of
outdoor
writers,
and
it
took
me
about
three
days
to
complete
the
whole
thing.
So
there's
a
lot
of
time
involved
in
getting
those
people
in
here
when
you're
going
at
them
from
a
national
level
when
I
was
at
nasc,
people
are
blown
away
by
the
amount
of
venue
we
have
here
so
in
the
quality
of
it.
J
So
I
think
we've
really
got
a
good
product.
I
think
we
want
to
set
ourselves
up
to
succeed
in
that.
We
don't
ever
want
to
think
that
people
aren't
gonna
want
to
come
here,
because
it's
just
water
tone,
because
we
live
here,
but
we've
got
a
really
good
product.
We've
got
some
really
great
venue,
and
so
what
I
really
want
to
do
is
get
somebody
trained
really
well,
so
that
we
have
somebody
that
can
go
after
the
sales.
J
If
I'm
off
at
a
board
meeting,
you
know
I
sit
on
five
boards,
so
I
have
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
other
upper
tier,
a
lot
of
other
responsibilities
that
I
sometimes
have
to
take
care
of
as
well,
so
right
now,
I'm
doing
sales
of
everything
from
leisure
to
sports
conventions
and
then
also
all
of
my
CBB
responsibilities.
I
oversee
the
bed
board
and
do
all
of
their
financials
and
I
sit
on
all
of
the
boards.
That
I
do
so.
It's.
J
J
Would
like
to
add
to
this
is
our
13
month
13th
month
of
really
healthy
growth
growth,
we
haven't
had
a
decline
or
a
negative
since
last
May
or
the
May
before
last
last
May
13
months
ago
and
I
know
that
Shelley
raised
some
questions
and
I
can
reiterate
too,
that
all
of
the
research
shows
when
I
go
to
conventions
or
to
TT
RA,
which
is
a
travel
and
tourism
research
convention.
I
went
to
that
last
year
that
BBB
growth
is
not
unique
to
water
tone.
J
Actually,
the
third
penny
sales
tax,
visitor
industry
and
travel
is
actually
growing.
There's
a
few
trends
that
are
growing
kind
of
quickly
and
I
think
the
conventions
where
the
person
attending
the
convention
brings
their
whole
family
because
part
of
its
paid
for
and
it
turns
into
an
extended-stay
we've
been
marketing
that
for
a
while
now,
and
also
as
far
as
the
sports
teams,
that
is
a
recession-proof
I,
think
Mike,
Danforth
and
I
had
that
conversation
once
sports
tourism
is
a
recession-proof
thing.
J
That's
the
last
thing
that
parents
are
going
to
cut
out
of
their
budget
is
taking
their
children
to
a
sports
tournament
and
I.
Think
that
you
know
we
just
this
past
weekend,
had
a
couple
of
groups
in
town
and
I.
Think
Watertown
has
just
such
exceptional
hospitality
and
so
many
things
to
do
when
they're
here
that
I
think
that
we
are
going
to
you
know,
continue
to
grow
in
that
area.
We've
got
a
really
good,
culinary
game.
C
C
C
C
C
C
There
may
be
better
places
for
that
to
be
done,
but
it
should
be
done
in
a
manner
that
we
know
about
and
that
we
want
and
agreed
to
so
I
I
want
to
keep
the
65
in,
but
who
gets
that
money
and
how
it's
used
I
think
is
yet
to
be
discussed
and
agreed
upon
how
we
do
that
I'm,
not
sure.
Maybe
you
move
all
65
up
to
the
mayor's
ad
campaign
and
leave
it
at
that,
because
then
it's
not
detailing
as
to
where
it
goes,
and
why,
at
this
point
right,
that's
right.
B
And
then
I
guess
I
would
I
would
say
you
know
to
me
the
just
the
title
mayor's
ad
campaign
would
suggest
that
the
mayor
should
have
some
sort
of
a
a
plane
in
in
the
collaboration
of
that
is
and
where
that
is,
and
what
the
message
is
and
what
it's
saying
and
and
I
guess
how
you
guys
work
out
how
you
want
that
relationship
to
be
and
how
you
want
to
have
that
communication.
I
guess
you
can
but
again
I
think
that's
probably
more
conversation.
So
everybody
gets
on
the
same
page.
C
B
C
A
B
See
that
that's
when
I
was
all
just
lumped
into
one
under
the
chamber,
it
used
to
be
prior
to
that
and
then
it
got
changed.
And
then
we
brought
a
little
bit
of
the
detail
back
in
and
so
yeah.
If,
if
you
want
to
make
a
motion
to
not
have
a
chamber
budget
and
to
put
it
all
into
one
ad
campaign-
and
we
can
even
just
say
ad
campaign
budget,
we.
A
C
A
Think
that
we
can
I
requested
a
printout
of
all
the
expenses
that
we've
paid
for
and
I
think
part
of
the
problem.
In
what
we
see
there
is
heavy
on
the
mayor's
ad
campaign
and
light
on
the
chamber
so
far
this
year
might
have
to
do
with
how
those
things
are
being
coated
because
they,
the
40,000,
does
not
require
a
detail
and
they've
been
giving
us
a
detail
and
I.
A
Think
we've
been
seeing
a
detail,
and
since
it
is
a
detail,
maybe
we've
been
assigning
the
wrong
number
I,
don't
think
it's
that
they
haven't
been
giving
us
detail.
I,
don't
think
that's
a
fair
thing
to
say,
because
we
haven't
been
asking
for
it.
I
think
it's
fair
to
ask
for
it,
but
I
would
be
really
hesitant
to
say
we
may
or
may
not
give
the
chamber
this
money
I
think
they
need
for
their
own
planning
for
their
organization
to
understand
how
much
money
I
think.
D
C
Is
this
does
not
go
to
support
there?
There
should
be
a
dollar
for
dollar
expense.
That
says,
we
had
five
thousand
dollars
worth
of
radio
ads.
Here's
five
thousand
dollars
that
came
off
of
that,
that
that
is
not
going
to
run
their
operational,
their
operation
in
any
shape
or
form
it's
purely
an
offset
to
an
expense
associated
to
the
promotion
of
the
city
of
our
town.
Is
that
correct?
Well,.
D
E
E
Absolutely
I,
guess
what
I'd
suggest
is
that
between
the
finance
office,
Ledger's
handles
all
of
the
day-to-day
bookkeeping
for
the
chamber
and
obviously
your
office
Tim
that
we
all
get
in
the
same
page
as
far
as
what
that
money
is
being
spent
for
and
how
it's
being
and
I
was
being
document.
What
kind
of
paper
trail
we're
leaving
on
that?
But
at
this
point
I
would
I
would
not
want
to
see
us
be
actually
cutting
dollars,
but
we
do
need
a
bit
of
accounting
of
how
that
money's
and
yet.
E
C
C
H
I
A
C
Well,
I
also
want
know
if
it
goes
in
a
box,
but
I
want
to
know
if
that
box
is
doing
me,
what
we
want
it
to
do,
it's
not
just
that
it
goes
into
a
box.
I
want
to
know
if
we're
spending
sixty
five
thousand
dollars,
that
is,
promoting
water
county
in
whatever
manner
supporting
whatever
it
is,
and
we're
getting
sixty
five
thousand
dollars
worth
the
value
out
of
it
right.
B
And
I
think
you
know
just
in
looking
at
if
you
go
back
to
really
what
the
BBB
sales
tax
can
be
used
for.
I
I,
don't
know
that
it's
appropriate
to
use
for
anything
other
than
promotion
advertising
in
the
city
on
a
chamber
level,
because
it
only
talks
about
Civic,
Center's
auditorium
or
athletic
facility
buildings,
including
the
maintenance
staffing
operation
of
such
facilities.
It
doesn't
really
talk
about
maintenance,
staffing
operations
of
any
other
facility
or
operations
outside
of
of
the
city.
So
you
know,
maybe
it's
just
it's
just
a
two
different
line
items.
K
B
Direction
from
the
mayor
or
City
Council
or
whoever
you
want,
what
do
you
guys
feel
should
be
because
that
should
be
for
the
entire
city,
regardless
of
whether
they're,
a
Chamber
member
or
not,
but
but
the
chamber
advertising
is
going
to
focus
on
the
members
that
actually
pay
for
those
services
and
for
that
advertising
so
I
mean
I'm
thinking
that
that
all
along
this
has
been
used
to
advertise
the
city,
maybe
just
a
little
different
focus
but
again,
I.
Think
it's
not
going
to
be
hard
to
get
that
detail.
B
I
can
sure
try
to
get
as
much
of
that
detail
tomorrow,
and
we
can
maybe
revisit
that
if
you
want
to
keep
the
40
and
the
25
in
there,
we
can
revisit
that
tomorrow,
but
I
guess,
maybe
for
the
sake
of
time.
If
there's
no
motion
on
any
changes,
we
can
just
leave
it.
We
can
see
how
much
information
we
get
and
if
Tim
has
time
to
come
back,
we
can
maybe
revisit
that
right
away
tomorrow.
Before
we
start
on
any
of
the
other
agenda
items
there.
A
The
coconut
camp
Eska
has
grown
quite
a
bit
and
tim
has
been
involved.
He
and
talk
about
that.
A
lot
better
than
I
can
you've
been
involved
for
since
the
beginning
of
it,
and
it's
grown
so
much
that
it's
overtaking
the
campground,
and
this
year
we
had
a
little
bit
of
an
issue
with
that
we
could
have
used
the
whole
campground
and
the
park
department
was
very
helpful
in
getting
that
set
up.
But
whether
or
not
those
fees
have
been
charged
back,
I'm
not
sure
were
they
supposed
to
be
charged
and
yeah.
B
E
C
Because,
again,
I'll
go
back
to
it.
Our
dollars
should
be
spent
for
the
promotion
of
Watertown
in
every
business
in
the
city
of
our
town
now
chamber
raised
dollars
can
be
used
to
promote
chamber
businesses,
but
that's
so
I
just
we
need
the
detail
on
that.
It's
too
big
a
total
dollar
item
for
us
to
not
have
justification
as
to
what
to
expect
and
I.
Don't
if
I
look
down
the
row
here,
I,
don't
think
we
have
an
idea
really
what
our
dollars
are
used
for.
My.
J
I
think
you
know
we
do
something
that
just
talks
about
the
bid
board
and
what
they
do
and
where
the
dollars
go.
Just
for
informative
reasons
and
I.
Think
part
of
that
money
is
probably
also
PR.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that,
because
I
do
remember
some
of
those
ads
being
just
PR
talking
about
you
know
what
the
chamber
does
or
what
you
know
how
important
it
is
to
shop,
local
and
Watertown
type
of
thing
if
it
isn't.
J
K
F
F
C
F
B
B
We
haven't
probably
had
it
to
the
level
for
the
chamber
that
maybe
we
we
should
in
the
future,
and
they
can
do
kind
of
that
same
presentation,
but
but
they're
required
to
come
back
and
tell
us
what
have
you
done?
What
are
your
accomplishments?
What,
basically,
what
have
you
spent
with
that
money
and
financially,
where
were
you
sitting
so
I
mean
I
I?
D
A
quick
sound
wait,
so
we
can
so
we
can
move
on
I'm,
okay,
leaving
the
money
as
it
is
I'm,
but
I
wouldn't
actually
a
follow
up
at
some
point
for
this
year's
budget
and
the
next
year's
budget.
If
we
could
have
a
break
out
just
like
the
CVB
did
so
it's
listed
in
the
program
or
the
thing
then
we'll
know,
but
I
do
want
to
see
a
follow
up
to
this
year,
which
is
probably
not
gonna,
because
alpha
is
gonna
get
to
us
by
tomorrow
night
and
then
next
year.
D
B
B
Under
the
second
page,
you'll
see
for
the
request
of
2018
and
I
gave
you
guys
an
additional
handout
that
you
each
will
have.
That
shows
you
the
request
that
came
in
and
you
can
see
that
the
total
requests
were
two
hundred
one
thousand.
There
were
two
new
requests
from
two
new
organizations,
and
then
you
can
compare
that
to
the
mayor's
proposed
budget
and.
B
Basically,
the
recommendation
is
to
only
have
fun
the
Watertown
Community
Foundation
requests
for
the
two
new
requests
and
that's
to
help
with
the
Downtown
Art
Walk
I
believe,
is
what
the
column
and
then
to
increase
the
Historical
Society
to
their
request
at
eleven
thousand
from
ten
thousand
and
all
the
other
organizations
stay
at
their
current
level.
I.
B
A
Why
I
didn't
recommend
funding
the
mother
of
god
monastery?
It's
not
at
all
that
I,
don't
think
it's
a
worthy
request.
I
do
think
it
is
a
worthy
request,
but
I
I
just
feel
that
making
a
contribution
to
a
religious
organization
for
there
mission
or
their
project
is
just
really
a
dangerous
step
to
take,
because
every
church
has
a
project
that
they
focus
on
and
and
I,
don't
know
where
we
could
draw
the
line
and
there's
so
many
worthy
projects
out
there
and
they
all
are
hurting
for
money
and
I.
A
This
was
really
really
tough,
too.
All
of
these
organizations
are
very
wonderful
and
worthy
and
needed
in
our
community
and
I
I
struggled
in
having
to
cut
money
from
the
budget
and
some
of
these
organizations
just
barely
hang
on
and
as
as
it
is
and
really
rely
on
the
money
that
we
give
them
and
I
just
was
leery
about
moving
into
that
realm
of
starting
to
give
churches
money
for
their
projects.
C
B
B
The
$5,000
request,
I
believe
is,
is
all
going
for
that
endeavor
yep.
There
was
some
seed
money
that
was
put
in
by
a
couple
individuals
to
start
that
and
hoping
that
some
donations
would
come
in
I,
don't
know
where
they
are
with
that.
But
at
this
point,
they're
kind
of
running
low
on
funds,
and
they
were
asking
the
city
to
to
support
that
continuation
of
that
for
the
downtown
area.
B
J
The
Watertown
Community
Foundation
oversees
the
funding
for
the
water
tone,
sculpture,
walk
and
the
sculpture
corporation,
or
this
sculpture
I,
don't
know
what
you
called
that
they're
located
in
Sioux
Falls
and
they
facilitate
the
trade
out
of
the
sculptures
every
year
so
that
when
the
new
sculptures
come
in,
they
organize
taking
the
sculptures
back
out
and
I
know
that
there's
costs
involved
in
swapping
them
out
every
year
and
I
also
know
that
the
pedestals
that
they
put
them
on
are
rather
expensive
and
they're.
Also
because
of
the
condition
of
I've,
been
told
on
the
sidewalk.
C
J
Or
they
are
in
May
up.
Okay,
Chamber
always
does
a
cookout
for
them
on
the
corner
when
they
bring
the
new
pieces
in
and
they're
commissioned
pieces,
and
some
of
them
are
all
for
sale.
There
was
one
put
up
at
La
Ti
this
year
and
then
the
readlyn
Art
Center
has
one,
and
so
we
went
from
I
believe
10
to
15,
because
Dempsey
they're,
all
sponsored
the
CBB,
is
a
friend
of
the
Art
Walk.
J
We've
got
two
sculptures
by
us
that
the
development
company
I
believe
in
the
chamber
sponsored
before
I
came
along
and
then
also
the
bid
board
has
paid
to
include
water
tone
on
the
South
Dakota
sculpture
trail
in
cooperation
with
the
South
Dakota
Department
of
Tourism.
So
we
have.
We
have
four
pages
on
a
website
with
all
of
the
other
sculpture
walks
in
the
state
that
line
from
the
western
part
of
the
state
along
the
i29
corridor
and
the
I-90
corridor,
with
all
of
the
sculptures
that
are
throughout
the
state.
C
Chili
is
there
a
way
that
we
can
I
mean
our
funds
really
are
going
to
Dart
walk
purposefully
via
the
foundation
right?
So
could
we
at
least
add
that
in
here,
so
people
know
what
it's
being
used
for
versus
just
going
to
the
foundation
good?
That
was
that
I
read
it
I
was
wondering:
why
are
we
giving
mine
to
foundation.
J
Know
exactly
what
the
funds
were
earmarked
for.
I
do
know
that
they
we
go
through
a
lot
more
brochures
and
things
like
that
and
all
of
the
separate
societies
are
responsible
for
supplying
the
CVB
with
a
lot
of
those
things.
But
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
goes
out
so
I
mean
as
it's
growing
and
there's
more
people
coming
to
the
cost
of
operating.
It
has
gotten
to
be
more
in
they're,
adding
with
adding
a
couple
of
sculptures
every
year
to
make
it
more
attractive.
A
E
B
Because
if
the
chamber
didn't
rent
it,
we
would
assume
that
all
of
those
camp
pads
would
be
rented
I
mean
that's
a
busy
time
of
year,
so
know
when
they,
when
they
did
their
estimations
on
the
park
and
rec
side.
They
assume
that
they
would
fill
those
so
I,
don't
think
there'd
be
any
change
on
that.
It
would
just
be
on
us
reimbursing
them
back
for
their
additional
costs
and.
H
E
This
was
a
conversation
that
was
had
at
the
last
Park
and
Rec
board.
Meeting
I
was
in
attendance
at
that
and
you
and
Megan
were
both
there
and
that's
what
the
park
and
Rec
board
I
realized.
They
can't
promise
that
that
to
the
to
the
chamber,
but
the
expectation
was,
is
that
the
chamber
would
receive
additional
funding
from
the
city
for
the
the
camper
rentals
that
the
chamber
would
be
required
to
pay.
B
And
in
that
to
a
point
was
subsidized
through
a
contingency
for
the
2017
cooking
on
cap
asked
to
5,000
or
whatever
the
bill
was
the
they
had
to
pay.
So
does
anybody
wanna
make
a
motion
and
a
second
to
add
that
to
the
requests
and
to
the
mayor's
proposed
I.
A
C
Purpose
and
expanded
in
extending
the
dollars
or
expanding
the
dollars
was
to
account
for
the
camping.
Yes,
okay,
so
it
should
be
ten
thousand
dollars,
plus
whatever
the
camping
fees
in.
If
we
want
to.
If
we
want
to
denote
that
in
our
notes
that
it's
ten
thousand
dollars,
plus
whatever
the
camping,
is
up
to
a
total
of
eighteen,
then
I'm,
fine
with
that
and
see.
C
B
K
D
L
H
B
A
E
B
True
yep
time
there
wasn't
time
with
with
the
change
in
in
staffing
there.
Just
there
wasn't
time,
so
we
just
asked
them
to
reach
out
and
and
send
an
email
I
think
next
year,
before
the
budget
season
ever
starts,
that
should
be
a
conversation.
I
know
there
was
some
conversation
last
year
with
how
that
process
comes
about
and
whether
you
want
that
same
process
to
continue
what
level
of
information
you
guys
want
to
know,
whether
you
want
to
support
it
or
not.
B
I
know:
we've
we've
talked
about
a
lot
of
different
things
and
and
I
guess
now,
with
with
a
new
mayor
and
some
staff
people.
That
might
be
something
you
want
to
have
a
conversation
about
next
year
and
and
come
up
with
a
process
that
you
guys
are
okay
with
and
then
everybody
kind
of
knows
where
to
go
forward.
We
were
not
really
prepared
for
that
this
year,
so.
F
B
As
you
can
see,
on
the
first
page
we
haven't,
we
haven't
had
time
to
fill
out
accomplishments
goals
short
term
long
term.
As
most
of
you
know,
there
was
a
different
board
that
was
put
into
place
and
they
had
their
first
meeting
last
week
and
so
they're
just
they're
kind
of
getting
their
legs
underneath
them
and
kind
of
learning
the
process.
B
But
in
that
meeting
a
month
ago,
at
the
urban
renewal
board,
meeting
I,
basically
kind
of
talked
to
him
and
for
the
past,
probably
what
four
four
years,
three
four
years,
that
special
assessment
tax
that
was
put
on
to
any
businesses,
not
residents.
But
businesses
within
that
urban
renewal
footprint
was
suspended
and
we've
just
been
going
off
of
fund
reserves
to
pay
for
things
like
flowers,
banners,
decorations,
benches,
the
music,
that
is
on
the
restrooms,
any
repairs
to
the
volunteer
center
that
the
city
owns
and
and
gets
rent
from.
B
B
So
I
guess
at
this
point:
I'm
not
sure
if
there's
urban
renewal
people
here,
who
would
want
to
speak
about
that,
but
I
guess
at
this
point.
Ultimately
it
takes
the
city
governing
body
to
assess
special
assessments
and
it's
up
to
you
to
appropriate
funding.
So
if
you
want
to
I'll
kind
of
open
it
up
to
some
conversation,
if
there's
anybody
from
the
public,
that
has
any
comments
on
that.
This
would
be
the
time
to
make
that
determination
on
whether
you
support
that
or
whether
you
don't
and
then
to
kind
of
make
a
decision.
F
Basically,
we
we
met
last
week,
as
Shelly
said.
The
discussion
was,
is
we
do
not
have
enough
funding
to
continue
doing
the
projects
that
we
have
been
doing,
including
the
flowers
and
the
other
projects
that
they
would
like
to
see?
The
urban
renewal
board
would
like
to
see
move
forward
with
some
possible
implementation
of
you
know.
Maybe
maybe
some
historical
signing
or
you
know
some
other
objects
that
they
would
like
to
put
in.
F
It
might
be
for
a
year
or
two
depending
on
what
kind
of
projects
they
are
looking
at
doing,
but
they
they
did
recommend
it
so
that
we
have
enough
money
to
continue
the
funding
to
do
the
flowers
and
some
of
the
other
items
they
went
through
with,
and
it
was
one
of
those
things
that
it
might
be
a
year
or
two
take
it
off
for
a
year
to
put
it
back
on
for
a
year
to
try
to
build
up
some
of
the
funds.
It
was
a
significant
amount
of
money.
Shelly.
B
Assessment
collection-
yes,
I,
think
when
we
did
our
our
rough
it
was
around.
Sixty
thousand
would
be
the
total
collection
amount.
F
B
B
And
none
of
this
expenditure
includes
anything
additional.
You
know,
I
mean
there,
there's
no
additional
projects
put
in
here,
because
none
were
were
related
to
me.
So
that
would
be
something
you
know
that
you
would
have
to
talk
about
with
those
extra
funds
and
kind
of
build
those
into
maybe
a
2019
budget
for
some
of
those
special
projects.
F
C
B
B
You
know,
none
of
that
is
per
se
required.
It's
just
it's
it's
something
that
has
been
done
in
the
downtown
area,
to
kind
of
beautify
that
area
and
make
it
stand
out,
and
there's
been
funds
available
to
do
that.
So
I
mean
that
was
kind
of
what
was
posed
to
that
urban
renewal
board.
Do
you
want
to
continue
that
or
or
not
and
and
their
recommendation
was
to
continue
with
that,
so
that
they
could
have
some
say
in
in
projects
and
how
that
money
was
used.
I
D
You
don't
tax
something
if
you
don't
know
what
you
knew,
what
the
tax
dollars
correct.
So
that
begs
the
question,
then:
how
clear
is
the
direction
going
forward?
It
I
understand
the
idea
of
building
up
some
funds,
so
you
can
do
something
do
some
things,
but
do
we
have
some
strategy
or
some
things
that
we
want
to
do
that
we
need
to
build
those
dollars.
F
Don
to
answer
your
question
I
think
part
of
that
was
with
the
Charette
that
was
done.
That
was
one
of
the
items
that
hey
you
should
look
at
doing
these
type
of
projects,
so
that
was
there
was
really
no
direction
direction
until
that
Charette
was
done
now
that
the
Shred
has
done,
we
have
kind
of
a
game
plan.
So
that's
what
the
funding
would
be
coming
in
for
is
to
hopefully
tackle
some
of
the
public
side
of
that
versus
the
private
side
of
it.
I'm.
E
I
Okay,
I'm
Kay,
Solberg,
there's
been
a
few
things
stated
here
that
I
think
historically
have
not
been
exactly
the
way
they've
really
gone.
First
of
all,
it's
not
the
business
owners
that
paid
this
tax.
It's
the
property
owners,
it's
brick
and
mortar.
When
you
look
around
the
town
right
now,
we've
got
like
20
empty
buildings
that
need
to
be
filled.
I
I
guess
my
concern
and
you
addressed
it.
Sara
was
it
says
the
urban
renewal
district
is
really
a
sanction
under
HUD.
It's
a
federal
district
put
together
for
the
purpose
of
taking
care
of
late
and
bad
things
that
end
up
being
within
the
center
of
a
community.
We
can
take
down
buildings,
you
know,
do
those
kinds
of
things,
that's
what
the
whole
thing
was
set
up,
for.
There
is
a
whole
stack
of
bylaws,
of
which
you
are
supposed
to
follow.
I
When
you
do
these
types
of
things,
including
what
kinds
of
projects
can
be
used
and
followed
with
with
that
kind
of
a
set
up,
and
one
is
that
when
you're
taxing
tax
can
be
levied
against
the
property
owners,
not
the
business
owner,
the
property
owners,
but
it
has
to
be
for
specific
projects
and-
and
we
always
sent
out
certified
letters
saying
that
this
is
what
the
proposal
was
going
to
be.
I
I
What
am
I
going
to
call
it.
Onyx
awnings,
yeah,
we're
put
on
I
mean,
and
we
did
a
bunch
of
the
road
maintaining
and
the
whole
works
throughout
there.
But
there's
been
some
things.
That's
the
urban
renewal
board
has
done
that
again.
The
property
or
the
business
people
have
not
really
been
asked
how
we
feel
about
it,
one
of
which
is
parking
and
I
can
tell
you
right
now.
What
we've
done
to
parking
has
devastated
some
of
the
businesses
that
are
out
town
having
no
parking
rules
and
regulations
at
all.
Okay,.
A
B
Just
to
answer
some
of
those
questions,
this
is
something
that,
when
the
tax
was
being
collected,
this
is
no
different.
The
process
than
it
has
always
been
the
budget
process
has
always
come
before
those
assessments.
Those
letters
will
go
out
on
Saturday
or
they'll
go
out
tomorrow.
The
public
hearing
notice
will
be
in
the
paper
Saturday,
so
I
mean
it's
the
same
process.
J
B
B
First
meeting
in
September
is
yeah
because
we
have
to
get
those
notices
to
the
county
as
well,
and
we
have
a
deadline
to
do
that
in
order
for
them
to
assess
those
on
next
year's
taxes
and-
and
so
the
budget
hearings
always
come
prior
to
that
process,
starting
and
so
even
in
the
past.
It's
this
is
just
a
way
to
say:
Council.
Are
you
in
favor
of
this
or
not?
If
they
are
not,
the
problem
is
and
is
with
the
flowers.
B
I
B
They
are
property
owners
and,
and
they
they
do
they
do
have.
You
know
that
same
burden
to
bear
and
so
I
I
think
they've
seen
the
the
greater
good
in
that
and,
like
I,
said
I
wasn't
at
the
meeting,
so
I
didn't
hear
what
went
on,
but
it
was
their
recommendation
to
that
council
to
support
this
process
and-
and
if
the
council
supports
that
process,
then
we'll
go
through
with
that
and
have
those
public
hearings
and
and
go
through
the
process.
So.
E
M
Good
evening,
Jeff
Kaiser
here
I'm
not
here
to
talk
about
flowers
with
these
kind
of
things.
What
I'm
here
to
talk
about
is
a
lifeblood
of
my
business
and
I've
already
incurred
a
thirteen
percent
property
taxes
here,
increase
with
this
$1500,
that's
18
percent
that
takes
me
to
a
30
plus
percent
property
tax
burden
increase
in
one
year
very
difficult
to
operate
and
succeed
of
business.
Anything
you
folks
can
do
to
lighten
the
burden
or
eliminate
the
burden
would
be
appreciated.
Thank
you.
B
A
N
I
think
we're
all
here
tonight
to
some
of
the
business
owners
are
all
here:
I'm
Jeff
Otto
from
Otto's
repair,
but
we
just
don't
want
anything
to
get
started
on
this
urban
renewal,
anything
about
it.
We
hear
about
it,
we're
just
horrified
because
we've
paid
the
taxes
before
on
it
I
think
it's
an
unfair
burden
to
all
uptown
businesses.
Brick-And-Mortar
are
already
under
attack
the
way
it
is
from
the
internet.
N
The
way
things
are
doing
business
we
got
empty
stores
up
on
Main
Street
already
and
I
mean
it's
just
unfair
for
us
to
operate
when
other
people
uptown
and
on
the
highway
doesn't
have
to
pay
the
same
business.
I
mean
you
just
can't
get
the
money
from
Uptown
Watertown,
because
it's
it's
just
not
there
anymore
I
mean
I,
just
look
at
the
empty
stores
and
just
vent
eeks
they're,
probably
one
of
the
better
things
that
bring
people
into
the
and
fill
the
Uptown.
N
You
know
and
I
just
think
it's
you're
tapping
on
an
empty
fuel
tank
there.
So
just
my
opinion.
Okay,
thank
you,
but
I
want
to
thank
you
for
fixing
my
alley.
It
was
really
awesome.
B
Okay,
we'll
move
on
ty.
Do
you
want
to
come
up,
but
we
can
do
the
airport
quickly?
You're
gonna
have
to
go
to
your
second
tab
about
three-quarters
of
the
way
back
past
the
sewer
in
solid
waste
department.
The
airport
is
one
of
our
three
enterprise
funds.
Enterprise
funds
are
a
bit
different.
State
statute
does
not
require
them
to
adopt
a
budget
in
the
same
manner
that
we
do
on
governmental
funds.
B
There's
two
parts
to
the
airport,
there's
just
their
regular
operating
and
then
there's
also
what
we
call
the
airport
AIP.
That's
the
airport
improvement
plan,
that's
the
federally
funded
portion
and
that's
when
you'll
see
the
ninety
five
and
five.
So
those
are
all
the
projects
that
that
the
federal
government
will
cost
share
with
the
city,
and
so
at
that
I
can
turn
it
over
to
Todd
and
he
can
give
you
a
little
overview.
Are
you
finding
it
yet.
B
L
So
well,
let's
go
through
the
the
accomplishments
and
goals
the
accomplishments.
The
airline
has
far
exceeded
my
projection
anyway
and
I.
Believe
you
guys
as
well
for
the
passenger
enplanements
this
year.
That's
the
2017
goal.
The
2018
goal
is
to
bring
in
some
new
businesses
to
expand
the
the
airport.
L
2019
is
obviously
the
if
we
keep
going
with
where
we're
going.
A
new
terminal
will
be
nice,
so
we
are
at
a
90
percent
occupancy
rate
in
the
T
hangars.
Currently
we
should
have
them
filled
up
by
the
end
of
this
year.
Utility
costs
are
there:
building
equipment,
maintenance
costs,
the
total
operating
revenues
and
the
expenses.
So
Shelly
has
helped
me
the
last
three
years.
Try
and
balance
this
budget
and
I
gave
her
a
lot
of
credit
for
for
helping
me
through
this
process.
L
L
L
E
B
I
can
probably
answer
that.
A
lot
of
that
is
the
transfer
from
the
second
penny.
Sales
tax
is
based
off
of
the
five
percent
requirement
match
for
our
FAA
projects.
So
in
2017
we
had
the
runway
project
and
we're
not
anticipating
those
type
of
projects
in
2018.
So
that's
going
to
decrease
the
transfer
from
the
second
penny,
so
that
will
these
include
all
of
the
of
the
anticipated
revenues
which
includes
those
transfers
for
those
projects
and.
E
B
That
comes
under
the
enterprise
operating
revenue.
Anything
that
we
charge,
basically,
that
is
aeronautical
in
nature,
goes
under
that
that
enterprise
operating
revenue
line
item.
So
that's
where
any
of
those
groaned
leases
for
terminals
hangars
that
type
of
stuff
goes
into
their
farming
proceeds
renting.
The
terminal,
TSA
rents,
TSA.
L
F
C
G
L
L
We
didn't
and,
as
you
know,
we
had
four
thousand
dollars
a
month
budgeted
or
that's
what
you
guys
decided
on
I
backed
that
off
to
two
thousand
dollars
a
month.
Due
to
the
initial
burst
we
had
out
for
the
first
year,
we
did
a
great
job
I.
Thank
you
guys
for
spending.
The
four
thousand
I
think
we
could
just
shave
that
back
a
little
bit
are.
L
L
B
Can't
you're
trying
to
find
one
yeah
yeah
I
mean
if
it's
something
that
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
yeah,
but
most
of
the
time
any
this
is
publication
and
recording
fees
is
really
what
that's
called
so
anytime.
We
do
any
publishing
of
anything
whether
it's
a
radio
ad,
a
TV
ad.
It's
just
traditionally
got
into
that
line,
but
I
guess
for
the
airport
itself.
If
you
want
to
have
a
separate
line,
we
can
sure
see
if
there's
one
available,
I
mean
it's
just.
It's.
B
And
we
just
we
never
created
a
new
account
number
just
because
we
didn't
know
if
that
was
going
to
be
a
one-time
deal
and
then
it
wasn't.
But
if
it's
something
that
you
guys
want
to
continue
to
increase
that
and
you
think
it
would
be
beneficial
to
have
a
separate
line
and
we
can
sure
look
in
to
figuring
out
how
to
find
one
there's
one
available.
Otherwise,
it'll
just
continue
to
go
in
this
line.
Item.
F
B
L
Correct,
that's
right,
if
you
guys
are
prove
it
so
next
time,
I'm
equipment
maintenance.
Just
to
give
you
a
little
explanation
on
that,
we
do
maintain
the
ARF
trucks
as
well
due
to
being
airport
property.
So
we
got
a
second
ARF
truck.
We've
seen
our
equipment
main,
it's
jump
a
little
bit,
so
I
just
want
to
keep
it
on
under
control.
This.
G
L
Capital
purchase,
yeah,
correct,
yeah,
so
the
phone
we
were
using
one.
We
have
two
types
of
foam.
Obviously
we
had
one
truck
first,
then
we
got
the
second
truck
the
first
truck.
We
got,
they
don't
produce
the
foam
anymore,
so
we're
going
to.
We
need
to
have
a
reserve
and
we've
never
gotten
to
that
point
with
the
two
trucks.
So
this
is.
This
is
what's
going
to
be
a
one-time
thing
this.
This
is
one
time
we
get
to
the
$15,000
for
foam.
We
switched
the
old
truck
over
to
the
foam.
L
L
Computing
equipment
software,
the
machinery
equipment
vehicle
tires.
We
have
big
equipment
out
there.
Tigers
aren't
cheap.
We've
been
kicking
this
out
of
the
budget
now
for
the
last
three
years
and
we're
in
dire
need
of
some
tires
on
a
couple
of
vehicles:
they're
about
1,500
to
2,000
dollars
a
piece
for
tires.
So
I'd
like
to
just
get
a
couple
of
trucks.
Some
new
tires
this
next
year
and
then
the
parking
lot
overlay
is
the
last
item.
O
C
C
F
L
L
A
question
for
you
guys:
we
have
had
a
couple
of
contractors
come
up
to
us
and
ask
us
about
the
parking
lot
and
they
want
us
to.
They
want
to
shoot
us
a
number
for
this
year.
A
few
of
them
need
a
little
extra
work.
That's
you
know
to
get
them
through,
and
one
contractor
in
specific
has
a
concrete
plant
set
up
nearby
and
they
think
they
can
give
us
a
really
good
number.
Would
this
be
something
you
guys
would
entertain
those.
L
Have
in
what
surprises,
what
are
their
thoughts?
Oh
Helms's
prices
on
concrete
is
a
little
over
$100,000
about
110,000
and
rough
numbers,
they're
thinking
we
can
do
it
for
about
80.
Currently,
if
we
do
it
this
year
in
concrete,
so
I
just
thought.
Maybe
you
could
entertain
going
out
to
bid
for
that.
We
don't
have
to
do
it
if
they
come
in.
Hi
is.
G
L
L
L
K
The
dollars
that
Todd
has
allocated
they're
requesting
is
to
put
a
new
mouthful
mat
on
top
of
what
we
put
out
there
for
millions.
Currently,
it's
just
milling
spread
out
as
a
parking
lot,
so
that
would
be
dollars
he'd
put
towards
the
mat,
the
the
60,000
I
think
it
was.
You
showed
up
there
correct,
so
that
would
basically,
if
he
did
the
$80,000
concrete
this
year,
that
would
not
be
needed.
That's
60,000!
Next
year,
I.
O
G
L
L
O
If
you
want,
maybe
Ray
could
put
my
screen
up
and
then
Wolff,
okay,
so
zoom
in
here.
So
this
is
the
existing
parking
lot
and
I.
Think
what
Todd's
saying
is
the
new
building
would
go
right
in
this
vicinity,
there's
quite
a
space
between
the
parking
lot
and
terminal
and
then
the
new,
the
new
gravel
parking
lot
has
been
constructed
on
the
back
side
of
this,
and
if
that
got
paid
concrete,
both
the
new
concrete
and
the
old
asphalt
parking
lot
could
be
maintained
when
they
build
the
terminal.
O
L
And
I
would
cut
down
the
own
em
budget
as
well.
You
would
take
out,
you
know,
obviously
the
crack
ceiling
and
in
ship
you
know,
overlays.
All
that
stuff
would
go
away
with
concrete.
Now
we
do
still
have
some
asphalt
surfaces,
so
I
will
need
some
money
for
crack
sealing,
but
it
wouldn't
have
to
be
so
substantial
I.
D
C
L
C
O
D
B
I
B
B
E
Want
to
clear
up
there
find
out
if
we're
gonna
go
out
for
bids
water.
What's
this
do
relative
to
our
2018
budget
work
we're
doing
right
now,
you
see
this
is
an
enterprise
foam
which
we
really
don't
even
have
to
have
a
budget.
So
should
we
still
keep
it
in
there
in
case
we
reject
the
bids
that
be
recommendation
later
right.
B
And
and
basically,
if
it
isn't
a
project,
that's
done
in
2018,
then
we'll
decrease
the
transfer
out
to
the
airport
in
2018,
because
we're
going
to
increase
it
in
2017
and
and
okay
just
so
that
I
get
this
right.
You're
authorizing
the
airport
to
go
out
for
bids
for
asphalt
and
concrete
option
for
the
parking
lot.
