A
Shelly
Pastor
John,
thanks
for
mentioning
an
artis
family
that
another
huge
loss
for
Watertown
and
thanks
for
saying
that,
okay,
at
this
time,
I'll
look
for
a
motion,
a
second
for
approval
of
our
consent.
Agenda
motion
by
Bruce
second,
by
Beth
any
concerns
any
changes.
Hearing
none
I'll,
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carried
number
to
approve
the
agenda.
I
look
for
a
motion,
a
second
for
discussion
motion
by
Glen.
Second,
by
John,
any
questions
changes.
A
Hearing,
none
I'll,
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
opposed
motion
carries
number
3,
ordinance,
number
16,
2
8
amending
section
14
point
0
to
0-9
regarding
prohibited
injury
to
public
trees
to
clarify
nuisance
tree
trimming
requirements.
This
is
the
second
reading
of
this
and
Justin
I'll.
Let
you
have
some
discussion
for
us
in
in
one.
Second,
maybe
I'll
get
a
motion.
A
second
then
we'll
buzzer
over
you.
So
I
got
a
motion
by
Randy
second,
by
Brad,
okay,.
E
E
E
E
What
we've
discovered
since
then
is
that
there
are
other
city
departments
that
also
have
an
interest
in
this
topic,
and
so
what
I
have
up
on
the
projector
here
is
a
proposed
amendment
which,
if
one
of
the
city
council
would
be
willing
to
motion
to
amend
this
language
here
comes
at
the
behest
of
municipal
utilities.
What
I'm
mentioning
is
the
the
blue
language
here
is
the
additional
language
it
reads.
E
Furthermore,
this
section
does
not
apply
to
the
Watertown
municipal
utilities
and
permitted
telecommunications
companies
who
trim
or
remove
said
trees
or
shrubs
that
interferer
may
reasonably
interfere
with
the
safe
and
reliable
operation
of
utility
facilities
and
infrastructure,
and
just
as
it
reads,
the
intention
behind
this
is
to
exempt
those
utilities
whose
lines
exist
on
poles
that
may
be
put
in
jeopardy
by
trees
and
shrubs
that
move
up
against
it.
That
if
a
gust
of
wind
came
by,
could
potentially
snap
tree
snap
the
lines
snap,
the
poles.
E
So
that
is
the
rationale
behind
that
language
and
the
phrase
permitted.
Telecommunications
companies
refers
to
the
fact
that
these
would
be
utility
companies
that
have
their
lines
on
municipal
utilities
poles
and
are
there
with
permission
from
municipal
utilities.
So
if
you
have
any
further
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them.
A
A
As
you
all
know
you
that
they
changed
the
rules
on
us
just
a
little
bit
at
the
last
musical
league,
you
know
in
the
legislature
last
year,
so
something
that
is
this
major
of
a
change
in
any
kind
of
ordinance.
If
you
amendment
amended,
we
must
put
that
back
on
a
on
the
next
council
meeting,
so
I
would
suggest
we
amend
that
and
and
bring
that
back
at
the
following
meeting.
A
D
A
So
we
have
an
amendment
amended
motion
by
Mike
and
second
by
Beth,
any
questions
on
that
and
you
want
us
to
vote
upon
that
amendment
Amanda.
Okay,
any
questions,
hearing,
none,
I'll,
look
for
council
action,
all
those
in
favor,
say
aye
opposed
motion
carries
thanks,
Justin
and
then
we'll
bring
that
forward
at
the
next
meeting
and
go
through
the
second
reading.
A
Correct
yes,
correct
unless
you
guys
change
it
again,
yeah
the
second
thing:
okay,
number:
four
ordinance:
number
16,
nine
amending
section,
fourteen
point:
zero:
seven:
zero:
four
regarding
inspection
of
Dutch
elm
disease
infections:
this
is
a
second
reading.
I
will
look
for
a
motion.
A
second
for
discussion
motion
by
Mike
was
Mike
and
un-bell
second,
by
bill:
hey
Justin!
If
you
want
to
kind
of
go
through
that
for
us
certainly.
E
Mayor
I'm
only
putting
this
up
here
on
the
projector,
because
the
track
changes
version
didn't
make
it
into
the
agenda
packet,
and
so
what
you
see
in
the
agenda
packet
is
the
changed
version
or
the
proposed
revision
to
the
revised
ordinances.
This
then
depicts
the
changes
so
anyways.
As
you
recall,
from
the
last
City
Council
meeting.
E
This
proposed
ordinance
seeks
to
amend
a
section
within
our
chapter
on
Dutch
elm
disease,
to
ensure
that
the
city
has
retains
the
authority
that
it
enjoys
under
current
statute
or
under
current
ordinance,
but
loses
the
rather
outlandish
duty
that
was
imposed
on
it
by
ordinance
to
seemingly
divine
where
all
forms
of
Dutch
elm
disease
or
all
presences
of
Dutch
elm
disease
in
the
community
could
be
found.
So
if
you
have
any
further
questions,
please
feel
free
to
ask
I'll
be
happy
to
answer.
D
A
E
A
A
A
G
H
E
E
I
I
mean
it's
not
typically
the
time
of
the
year
that
we're
out
inspecting
trees
and
cutting
trees
down
and
stuff.
So
we
do
have
a
couple
weeks
to
to
take
a
better
look
at
it
and
I
agree
with
Mike
I
mean
we
might
as
well
blank
it
to
coverage
and
allow
us
to
you
know
two
years
from
now.
It
could
be
totally
something
different
again.
So.
C
A
A
K
You
on
December
10th
and
17th
we
advertised
for
bids
for
for
sport,
utility
vehicles
for
the
police
department
on
December
23rd.
We
had
bid
opening
and
out
of
the
three
beds
that
we
received
water
tone.
Ford
submitted
the
low
bid
for
a
2017
Dodge
Durango
vehicle.
There's
any
questions.
I
can
try
and
answer
them.
H
K
Is
we
prefer
to
drive
one
vehicle,
one
type
of
vehicle,
but
like
say
currently
we
do
have
the
Dodge
Chargers
and
we
have
the
Ford
Explorers.
This
almost
all
had
kind
of
a
third
vehicle
to
our
fleet.
We
currently
don't
well.
I
should
take
that
back.
We
do
have
one
Dodge
Durango
that
we
had
in
2008,
but
other
than
that
you
know
we
haven't,
had
Dodge
string
dodge
Durangos
there's
patrol
vehicles.
K
The
fact
is
is
that
these
are
about
two
thousand
dollars
cheaper.
We
will
have
to
buy
a
new
seat
plastic
seat
that
we
install
as
well
as
a
new
partition
barrier,
so
those
costs
will
probably
end
up
being
close
to
that
$2,000.
So
net
savings
in
that
case
is
basically
zero.
I
guess
at
this
point
in
time
we
we
just
went
with
the
Dodge
Durango
is
because
there's
a
little
bit
but
Ford
Explorers
work
as
well.
F
K
I
think
most
equipment
will
transfer
over,
except
for
that
plastic
seat,
which
is
about
a
thousand
dollars
and
then
that
partitioned
between
the
driver
and
and
the
person
that's
in
custody
those
run
about
$1000.
And
then
we
believe
that
the
light
bar
on
top
will
will
be
able
to
be
reused.
We
may
have
to
get
some
different
brackets,
but
other
than
that
it
should
be
able
to
be
used
with.
K
Would
on
two
of
the
four
vehicles,
because
we're
taking
two
Dodge
Chargers
out
of
service,
so
the
equipment
out
of
those
vehicles
isn't
going
to
fit
an
explorer
or
a
Dodge
Durango,
but
we're
also
taking
two
Ford
Explorers
out
of
service.
So
in
that
case,
that
equipment
would
fit
right
back
into
another
Ford
Explorer.
So.
F
That's
what
I'm
getting
at
is
all
in,
if
you're
able
to
transfer
equipment
right
to
the
Ford
Explorers
and
after
ding,
you
know
monkey
around
with
the
dodge,
Durangos
and
add
seats,
and
things
like
that.
Are
we
better
off,
indeed,
spending
the
two
thousand
dollars
extra
for
a
Ford
Explorer,
where
it's
kind
of
a
plug
and
play
kind
of
thing
with
some
of
our
equipment?
Essentially.
K
Kind
of
becomes
a
wash
because,
like
say,
if
we
go
with
the
Dodge
Durango
they're,
two
thousand
dollars
cheaper,
so
that
equipment
that
we'll
buy
will
basically
put
it
at
the
net
cost
of
the
Ford
Explorer
with
having
new
equipment,
or
we
could
just
simply
go
with
the
Ford
Explorer
pay,
the
two
thousand
more
and
the
old
equipment
will
fit
in
so
we're
kind
of
RAD
wash.
What
do
you
want?
Yeah.
F
F
K
A
I
L
K
Fleet
again
besides
just
the
Dodge
Charger
I,
just
read
an
article
yesterday
that
most
police
agencies
are
trying
to
go
to
the
SUV's
because
of
the
all-wheel-drive,
the
you
know,
storage
of
equipment
just
a
little
bit
more
a
roomier
than
what
a
car
is.
So
you
know
for
us.
Yes,
we
like
the
Ford
Explorers,
but
we
can
always
give
Dodge
Durango
try
to
to
us
I!
K
G
You
know
it
makes
it
make
sense
to
me,
I
think
what
Beth
said:
I
think
if
it's,
if
it's
a
wash
and
you
got
an
explorer's,
but
if
they
are
gonna
work
more
with
us
on
a
program
with
the
dodges.
The
subsequent
purchases
that
we
make
are
gonna
be
less
money
as
well,
and
if
we
have
to
transfer
whatever
it
is
we
used
from
them,
then
we're
gonna
save
money
down
the
road
as
well.
If.
K
A
B
A
K
You
there's
a
little
bit
different
story
again.
We
advertise
for
bids
on
the
10th
and
7:00
opened
the
bids
on
the
23rd.
In
this
case,
we
only
had
one
bid,
and
that
was
for
a
Dodge,
Ram
3/4
ton,
crew
cab,
pickup,
that's
intended
to
be
used
for
the
animal
control
officer,
and
that
was
the
only
baby
we
had
this
course
is
for
a
brand-new
vehicle.
Any.
F
Tell
me
how
this
is
going
to
be
outfitted
then
with
as
a
pickup
truck
for
specifically
for
animal
control,
use,
because
I
know
that
the
the
purpose
of
getting
a
new
vehicle
was
that
we
needed
a
solid
wall
between
the
animal
control
officer
and
any
animals
that
are
picked
up.
So
this
obviously
meets
that.
But
what
about
the
bed
of
the
pickup
truck
or
how
are
we
gonna
deal
with
that?
The.
K
Bed
of
the
pickup
will
be
removed.
Okay,
the
cost
to
order
a
truck
without
the
box
is
so
minimal
amount
of
difference
that
we're
gonna
go
ahead
and
order
it
with
the
box
and
once
we
get
to
pickup,
will
remove
the
box
and
there's
a
aluminum
cargo
transport
box.
That'll
go
on
it,
that'll
transport,
many
animals
at
the
same
time
in
separate
kennels,
and
that
is
gonna,
be
on
order,
like
I,
said
and
should
be
delivered
before
the
pickups
delivered,
and
you
know,
as
far
as
the
crew
cab.
A
A
M
Thank
You
mayor
yeah,
the
snow
gates
generally
like
it
said
last
year,
I
think
when
we
got
our
second
snow
gate.
I
think
I
talked
a
little
more
in
depth
about
it,
but
the
snow
gates
are
good
for
up
to
about
six
inches
of
snow.
We
did
have
an
eight
inch
snow
this
year,
where
we
did
use
them
and
they
work,
but
we
still
have
issues
with
the
snow
building
over
the
top
of
the
moldboard
and
out
the
front
of
the
gate,
and
if
you
have
wet
heavy
snow
you're,
really
it's
hard
to
use
them.
M
If
you
have
over
five
six
inches
of
wet
heavy
snow,
you
can
damage
the
gate
which
we've
done
on
the
first
gate
we
had.
We
did
do
some
damage
to
that.
Quite
often,
it
would
get
bent
from
the
weight
of
all
that
snow
and
the
other
thing
that
hampers
us
with
the
snow
gate
is,
you
know
we're
trying
to
keep
up
a
decent
speed
to
get
the
streets
plowed,
but
the
speed
of
the
gate
going
up
and
down
it's
it's
a
hydraulic
gate.
M
M
It's
next
to
impossible
to
to
dump
the
snow
and
get
the
you
know,
get
the
gate
up
and
back
down
again
to
collect
snow
again
and
in
a
narrow
area
in
between,
say
if
you
have
driveways,
where
there's
six
eight
ten
feet
in
between
your
neighbor's
driveway
and
yours,
there's
not
a
lot
of
area
to
dump
the
snow
on.
So
you
will
have
snow
in
the
next
driveway
that
billows
out
into
that
driveway.
So
it's
not
a!
It
definitely
helps
take
snow
away
from
these
people's
driveways
that
they
have
to
clean.
A
M
We
get
a
bigger
snow
event,
wet
snow,
it's
tough,
you're
gonna,
have
you
know
more
snow?
There's
just
nothing.
You
can
do
with
it.
So
people
need
to
understand
that
there
will
be
some
snow
in
their
driveways,
even
with
the
gate
being
used,
and
if
we
do
have
the
the
bigger
snow
event
we're
where
we
can't
use
the
gate,
then
they'll
have
to
handle
more
snow
like
we
used
to
and
then.
M
M
You
know
generally
that's
about
the
most
consistent
speed
I
found
when
I
followed
the
blades
about
6
miles
miles
an
hour,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
these
guys
have
to
do
in
there
they're
handling
a
40-plus
thousand
pound
machine
they're
trying
to
watch
traffic
around
them.
Anything
that's
going
on
plus
they're
trying
to
focus
on
mailboxes
and
driveways.
M
M
What
we
have
been
doing
is
trying
to
take
what
we
can
out
of
the
intersections
cuz
like
this,
this
snow
event
widget.
We
just
finished
up
with
all
of
our
streets.
Today
we
didn't
have
any
loaders
following
today.
We
had
the
snow
gates,
pull
all
they're
in
their
sections
because
it
was
a
low
snow
and
it
works
pretty
good.
M
When
we
have
more
snow,
we
have
to
have
loaders
follow,
but
with
the
amount
of
staff
we
have
I
felt
it
was
more
important
to
put
our
people
in
trucks
to
sand,
because
it
was
quite
icy
so
and
we
can
go
back
which
we've
we
will
do
as
now.
We'll
spend
the
rest
of
the
week
cleaning
up
fine-tuning,
cleaning
up
piles
that
type
of
stuff
call
the
sack
piles.
So
it's
it
does
help.
We
use
them
in
the
intersections
too.
But
it's
you
know.
A
H
A
A
A
M
What
we'll
try
to
do
is
go
along
with
loaders
as
we
as
we
see.
You
know
where
cars
aren't
park,
we'll
try
to
catch
some
of
that,
but
it
has
been
a
problem
where
we
put
out
an
announcement,
a
PSA
that
were
gonna,
do
uptown
at
3
o'clock
in
the
morning
and
and
we
hope
that
everybody
has
their
sidewalks
clean
before
we
do
that.
But
what
we
do
find
is
there's
a
large
percentage
of
people
that
shovel
their
sidewalks
off
after
we've
cleaned
the
whole
uptown,
and
it
is
a
problem.
M
M
I
A
a
couple
cool
phone
calls
not
too
long
ago.
That's
why
I
asked
you
to
come
up
was
was
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
you
guys
clean
that
some
people
that
own
properties
get
calls
to
have
their
tenants
move.
You
know
what
do
we
do
to
educate
people?
I
mean
I
had
four
alerts
because
I'm
signed
up
on
the
street
Department
I'm
signed
up
on
the
police
department
and
I
get
them
both
email
and
text.
I
I
M
I
M
A
M
A
I
A
D
M
Know
I
I
I
see
a
handful
of
them
that
are
the
same
I
can't
say
for
sure.
If
it's,
if
it's
always
that
way,
I
think
timing
has
a
lot
to
do
with
it.
You
know
this.
This
year,
we've
had
we
had
snow
storms
that
have
been
hitting
us
on
the
weekends
and
I
think
that's
part
of
it
too.
When
it
happens
during
the
week
I
think
people
are
more
responsive
together,
whether.
I
They're
at
your
business,
while
those
places
aren't
open
on
Sunday.
So
when
you
go
down
there
three
o'clock
on
Monday
morning,
they
haven't
been
there
yet
so,
but
I
mean
that's
still
not
excused
put
it
that
way,
because
if
I
push
it
out,
I
clean
my
driveway
last
night,
I
push
it
out
in
the
street,
then
I
push
it
over
and
push
her
back
into.
My
yard,
I
couldn't
give
I
was
just
pushing
it
out
in
the
street
and
leaving
it
after
you
cleaned
well.
D
That's
kind
of
my
what
I
was
going
to
say
Randy:
this
is
you
know,
I
can
see
when
we
put
our
public
service
announcement
out
there
and
and
if
something
gets
pushed
in
there
afterwards,
it
should
be
handled
in
the
same
way
of
anybody
else
pushing
your
snow
out
in
the
street.
They
either
have
to
get
it
hauled
away.
D
M
M
M
A
M
A
I
A
I
do
have
a
comment
that
we
we
need
to
address
in
council.
This
is
something
that
I
would
imagine
you've
gotten
a
couple
calls
I
have
you
know
we
changed
the
way
that
we
do
highway
81
we
bring
it
into
the
middle.
We
pick
up
the
snow
immediately
and
it's
gone
in
the
past.
We
took
it
to
the
sides
and
then
we
waited
a
few
days,
and
then
we
came
out
with
all
our
equipment.
Again
it
spent
hours
and
hours
and
hours
picking
it
up.
A
Sliding
it
back
over
onto
the
street
and
getting
it
out
of
there
now
what's
happened
is
is
that
some
of
the
some
of
the
businesses
and
homeowners
on
Highway
81
feel
as
though
that
we're
taking
a
service
away
from
them,
because
now
we're
not
cleaning
their
sidewalks.
So
my
question
to
the
council
is:
do
you
feel
as
though
we
have
to
go
back
and
clean
these
people's
sidewalks,
because
we've
done
in
the
past
I
had
one
guy
call
me
and
say
that
it's
a
service,
that's
taken
away.
I
M
L
A
L
M
Yeah
yeah
I
was
fearful
at
it
was
gonna,
be
a
little
tough
to
make
it
happen
efficiently,
and
it's
actually
worked
a
lot
better
than
I
thought.
It
would,
and
you
know,
I
I
don't
know
see
we
generally
I'd
time
a
lot
of
this
stuff
to
see
how
long
it
takes
to
do
this,
but
I
think
we
had
81
cleared
in
under
four
hours
this
last
time,
which
was
that's
two
miles.
M
Picked
up
and
that's
gone,
so
that's
that's
pretty
good
two
miles
and
it
would
have
taken
you
double
that
it
would
have
taken
a
lot
longer
when
we
pull
it
off
the
curb
lines
and
the
sidewalks,
and
we
do
have
to
do
that
and
like
on
highway
212
and
twenty
occasionally
to
make
more
storage
for
snow
on
the
edges,
but
it
it's
time-consuming
because
you're
running
more
equipment
to
get
it
to
the
center.
It's
a
lot
slower
that
way
or
not
to
the
center,
but
to
where
we
can
at
least
pick
it
up.
D
It
isn't
the
reconstruction
at
212
gonna
include
sidewalks
on
both
sides
all
the
way,
so
we're
gonna
end
up
being
in
the
same
scenario
once
212
is
done.
This
is
what
we
have
in
a
lot
of
areas
on
81,
but
Mara
I
agree
with
you
that
it's
a
service
because
we
put
it
there,
it's
not
a
service
because
of
what
they're
paying
in
their
taxes
or
or
you
know,
I,
don't
think
when
they
come
around,
determine
our
property
taxes.
They
ask
us
whether
we
have
to
show
our
sidewalks
or
not.
D
M
A
Have
one
more
one
more
thing:
I
wanted
to
mention
is
with
the
opening
of
Hobby
Lobby,
there's
just
tons
of
cars
out
there
and
it's
a
little
bit
difficult.
The
way
that
the
in
and
out
ot
owes
on
that
particular
Street
on
Willow
Creek
Drive.
Is
you
remember,
you're,
coming
down
from
the
south?
It's
a
right
in
or
right
out.
We
have
people
jump
in
the
curves
over
there
and
they
weren't
too
happy
about
that.
Yeah.
M
D
It's
really
hard
on
some
of
these
corners
to
see
and
when
we've
had
the
road
conditions
that
we've
had
it's
very
dangerous
you
you
can't
see
and-
and
that's
I've
also
noticed
that
not
only
on
intersection
corners
but
on
the
sides
of
where
the
they're
their
entrances
are,
and
so
we
I
don't
know
whose
job
that
is
to
look
at
that.
You
know
yours
is
I
I'm
assuming
on
the
corners.
If
it's
we're.
E
Arguably,
yes,
you
know
the
city
in
ordinance.
You
have
the
requirement
that,
as
the
owner
or
occupier
of
a
piece
of
property,
that
it
is
your
responsibility
for
all
adjacent
sidewalks
to
be
cleared
of
snow
and
ice.
So
once
there's
a
law
in
the
books
that
establishes
a
duty
and
that
Duty
wasn't
met,
obviously
by
there
being
an
obstruction
of
you
as
a
result
of
snow
being
piled
on
the
sidewalk
that
that
owner-occupant
should
have
taken
off,
then
that
arguably
establishes
a
per
se
liability
with
the
landowner.
E
H
M
The
right
now
we
have
three
snow
gates
and
what
we've
tried
to
do
is
cover
you
know
the
main
portion
of
town
which
is
14th
Avenue
down
to
212,
West,
21st,
Street
and
East
to
19th.
Now
what
we
have
done,
I've
had
my
team's
catch
all
the
River
Ridge
Northridge
Eastwood's,
Dakota,
Commons
and
Kemp
place
over
there.
We
have
collected
that
this
whole
winter.
M
The
problem
I
have
is
I
I
do
know
it's
not
a
problem.
I
have
some
other
contractors
that
are
willing
to
work
for
us
with
their
motor
graders,
but
they
don't
have
snow
gates.
They
have
four-wheel,
drive
motor
graders
and
snow
gates.
Just
won't
work
on
that.
They
won't
pull
them
when
you
get
heavier
snow,
so
we
could
speed
up
the
process
a
little
bit
more,
but
I'm
stuck
between
a
rock
and
a
hard
place,
because
now
I
want
to
snow
gate
for
everybody.
M
I
M
M
A
O
M
J
O
A
M
I
A
L
A
K
We
do
have
the
one
that
we
agreed
to
test
and
we
did
an
installation
on
that.
We're
working
through
some
points,
issues
that
we've
had
with
it
with
the
company,
the
manufacturer.
Hopefully
some
of
those
issues
can
be
resolved
and
and
give
us
a
test
period
for
a
month,
or
so
with
that
particular
vehicle.
And
if
everything
works,
as
we
hope
the
would
maybe
we
can
proceed
and
get
some
more.
But
at
this
point
in
time
we
did
the
installation.
