A
You
know
guys
I,
think
I'm
gonna
start
this
meeting
about
half
a
minute
early.
At
this
time,
I
will
call
the
meeting
to
order
it's
Monday,
May,
15,
2017
city
work
session
agenda,
we're
going
to
start
out
with
clean
and
green
litter,
blitz,
wrap-up
and
drawing
with
barb
Brinkman,
but
I'm
going
to
turn
the
meeting
over
to
Bruce
I
have
to
go.
Do
a
proclamation
for
the
torch
run.
You
just
heard
the
sirens
going
over
there,
so
I'm
gonna
jet
out
here
for
about
five
minutes.
Okay,
thanks
barb.
B
B
There
we
go
there,
we
go
good,
well,
I,
just
appreciate
the
city
helping
with
this.
This
was
the
fifth
one
and
we
braved
cold
and
snowy
weather
and
extended
the
the
dates
a
little
bit,
and
we
had
you
know
the
project
of
the
clean,
green
subcommittee
of
safe
and
attractive
neighborhoods
of
in
business
districts.
Forty
different
groups
and
businesses
participated.
There
were
about
50
different
areas.
We
had
people,
maybe
not
sign
up
but
go
out
and
and
pick
up
stuff,
and
there
were
several
groups
who
took
two
or
three
zones.
B
Several
individuals
who
worked
on
more
than
one
group-
and
we
had
that
reported
from
the
feedback
online
which
was
needed,
is
that
we
had
314
workers
a
total
of
five
hundred
and
five
hours,
and
there
were
72
plus
unreported
bags
of
trash.
Who
knows
how
many
that
was
because
people
picked
it
up
on
their
own
and
then
always
tell
us,
or
even
the
ones
that
signed
up
didn't
always
get
back
to
us.
The
bags
are
recycling,
we're
sixteen
plus.
B
So
a
great
community
effort
Watertown
just
likes
to
keep
it
things
looking
nice,
and
so
we
had
the
full
whole
intermediate
school
out
one
day
covering
a
lot
of
areas.
They
worked
with
the
bramble
Park
numbers
are
kind
of
going
down,
but
I
think
people
are
just
doing
it
on
their
own.
That's
how
I
see
that,
and
so
you
know,
I
think
it's
they're
getting
the
message
that
we
live
in
one
one
spot
here
on
earth
and
we
need
to
take
care
of
it.
I
think.
B
Maybe
there's
less
out
there,
you
know.
That's,
you
know,
that's
some
less
bigger
things.
Well,
whatever
a
couple
things
on
out.
Well,
thank
you
so
much
who
our
partners,
the
city
of
Watertown,
mayor's
office,
sanitation
department,
street
department,
police
and
the
Watertown
Area
Community
Foundation,
for
we
pick
up
the
supplies
and
the
Chamber
of
Commerce
has
donate
our
prize
of
$100
Watertown
bucks.
And
this
you
know
media
really
helped
with
the
public
opinion
and
Watertown.
We
watch
on
radio
and
kxl
G,
and
so
thank
you
to
these
groups.
B
B
C
B
Baseball's
McKinley
third
graders
down
baseballs
and
compose
common
item
cigarette
butts.
They
just
don't
decompose
you,
don't
they
don't
be
they
just
don't
you
know,
and
if
they
get
into
the
water
system,
it's
not
good
for
the
fish
and
then
gets
into
our
food
supply.
Something
to
think
about
so
different
things
that
we're
still
involved
in
look
for
those
take
use,
take
care
for
them,
reduce,
reuse,
recycle.
B
B
D
D
B
E
F
F
If
you
have
questions
about
the
structure.
I
know
we've
talked
about
this
before,
but
basically
going
into
the
channel.
It
could
be
a
concrete
structure
or
it
could
be
a
rock
structure.
It
could
be
sheet
pile,
that's
something
that
a
feasibility
study
would
would
identify,
and
the
idea
is
to
be
able
to
remove
a
lot
of
the
sediments
from
that
area
collect
in
the
future.
The
sedimentation
get
it
to
fall
out
in
that
one
specific
location
and
also
be
able
to
maintain
the
the
sandbar
that
will
keep
developing
as
a
product
of
longshore
drift.
F
A
Know,
Roger
I,
I
apologize
I
didn't
get
to
hear
your
very
first
opening
statements
on
this,
but
what
I
just
wanted
to
mention
briefly,
the
reason
why
we're
here,
you
know,
of
course,
is
for
the
the
betterment
of
Lake
Camp
Eska,
but
in
our
thought
process
you
and
I
have
had
numerous
conversations.
It
seems
like
we
should
almost
try
to
stop
the
sediment
coming
in
before
we
start
trying
to
do
the
dredging
to
get
it
out
of
there.
A
You
know,
because
if
you
have
that
event,
you
have
some
big
event
that
comes
through
and
pushes
it
through.
So
folks,
that's
why
I
asked
Roger
to
be
here
tonight
as
to
maybe
we
need
to
get
an
engineering
firm
on
on
on-site
that
can
take
a
look
at
at
the
lake
and
and
see
what
we
can
do
for
sediment
coming
into
the
lake.
So
I
just
wanted.
You
probably
said
all
that
before
I
got
here,
but
not.
F
Go
now
yes
and
I
did
bring
Clark
engineering
with
me.
We've
had
some
discussions
in
the
past.
They
are
interested
in
taking
a
look
at
that
structure.
Whatever
procedure
we
like
to
move
along
with
that,
they
do
have
experience
in
that
field
and
I
feel
that
they
would
be
a
good
check,
a
reality
check
and
see.
If
something
can
be
designed
there.
A
So
I
think
maybe
maybe
you
can
bring
those
guys
up
and
and
just
give
us
a
little
idea.
You
know,
because
you
had
talked
about
different
types
and
and
whether
it's
just
one
type
or
whether
they're
gonna
come
back
with
different
ideas
for
us.
Numerous
ideas,
let's
hear
from
those
guys,
come
on
up
and
state
your
name
and
let's
let
us
kind
of
get
an
idea.
What
we're?
What
we're
doing
here.
G
My
name
is
Don
Michael
I'm,
with
Clark
engineering
I'm,
actually
in
the
Aberdeen
office
and
Justin
Peterson
is
here
in
our
Watertown
office.
What
my
connection
to
this
is,
as
Roger
mentioned,
we
were
part
of
a
project
for
the
city
of
Aberdeen,
where
we
constructed
a
rock
filter
berm
on
the
Elm
River.
The
Elm
River
is
the
water
supply
to
the
city
of
Aberdeen,
and
they
continually
had
problems
with
the
intake
structure
being
clogged
with
sediment
in
spring
runoff
events
or
primarily
spring
runoff
events.
The
sediment
load
coming
down
the
oume
River
was
pretty
high.
G
The
inlet
structure
is
in
an
oxbow
of
the
river,
and
so
the
sediment
would
be
carried
into
that
slower
water
area
and
fell
out
right
in
and
on
top
of
the
inlet
to
the
water
treatment
plant.
So
we
worked
with
the
city
and
with
a
partner
consultant
out
of
Minneapolis
that
we
have
worked
several
times
with
their.
G
That
project
got
construction
was
completed
in
2015,
probably
first
real
test
of
it
occurred
this
spring
when
the
oume
River
was
at
not
at
flood
stage
but
very
high,
and
it
was
in
those
conditions
in
the
past,
where
carried
sediment
into
the
Oxbow.
The
treatment
plan,
of
course,
regularly
tests
turbidity
at
the
intake.
They
also
this
year
tested
the
turbidity
out
in
the
own
river
channel
and
the
water
at
the
entry
intake.
I'm.
G
We
don't
know
if
the
berm
or
e
berm
like
that
would
be
the
best
choice
as
a
solution
at
the
inlet
of
camp
Pesce,
but
we
would
team
with
those
same
individuals
and
bring
that
expertise
that
the
that
they
have
into
the
feasibility
study
that
we've
talked
with
Roger
about
and
try
to
come
up
with
alternatives
that
could
be
considered
for
a
sediment
control
structure
at
the
inlet
at
Camp.
Pesco
we'd
have
to
do
some
hydraulic,
modeling,
the
big
Sioux
River
and
the
inlet
at
that
area.
G
We,
of
course,
don't
want
to
change
and
wouldn't
get
permitted
to
change
the
hydraulics
such
that.
Suddenly
we
were
holding
flows
in
the
Big
Sioux
that
at
this
time,
flow
into
and
out
of
camp
Eska,
so
there
would
have
to
be
modeling
and,
as
part
of
our
study,
along
with
the
costs
and
the
best
choice
to
achieve
the
sediment
control,
the
ability
to
maintain
it.
I
guess
that's
what
we
would
look
to
work
with
Roger
and
you
folks
on
is
developing
those
choices.
Don.
E
G
G
So
the
river
flow
washes
the
sediment
off
the
face
of
it.
Now
we
do
have
as
part
of
the
construction
there's
an
access
road
on
that
berm,
so
that,
if
needed,
the
city
can
get
equipment
out
on
there
and
and
remove
sediment
from
the
face
of
the
berm.
If
necessary,
it
was
not
necessary
to
be
able
to
remove
the
sediment
from
the
river
itself.
G
The
rivers
carrying
the
sediment,
you
know,
or
was
in
the
past,
carrying
the
sediment
to
the
intake
at
the
treatment
plant
I
mentioned
that
intake
was
in
an
oxbow
and
Justin
has
some
pictures
where
you
probably
can
see
that
the
river
was
starting
to
take
its
natural
course,
which
would
have
been
to
erode
the
neck
of
the
Oxbow.
At
some
point,
the
river
channel
would
have
cut
off
the
Oxbow
and
bypassed
the
that
area
anyway.
The
city
has
evaporating
in
the
past
had
to
spend
some
effort
to
reinforce
that
with
riprap.
G
But
in
the
case
of
that
structure,
the
sediment
is
washed
off
the
face
of
the
rock
berm
in
the
higher
flow
events.
If
it
gets
to
the
point
where
too
much
builds
up
on
the
face
of
the
berm,
there
is
a
an
access
road
where
they
can
get
equipment
out
on
there
to
clean
it
again.
I
want
to
be
clear:
that's
an
option
that
we'll
evaluate
in
in
this
study.
G
It
may
not
be
the
right
choice,
given
the
conditions
at
the
inlet
to
the
lake
I
think
Roger
mentioned
that
other
possibilities
might
be
some
type
of
a
concrete
structure
that
would
manage
the
sediment
there.
There
are
a
few
options
that
would
be
studied
and
looked
at,
and
that
again
is
where
we
rely
on
those
experts
out
of
our
partner
consultant.
Those
are
the
fellows
that
know
how
to
control
or
manage
the
sediment.
That's
not
our
expertise
in
Clark
engineering.
I
G
As
part
of
the
hydraulic
analysis,
we'll
look
at
historical
flow
data
and
there's
gauging
stations
on
the
Big
Sioux
that
data
is
available
to
us
that'll
be
input
into
the
Mon
model
that
we'll
have
to
develop.
There
are
some
models
that
have
been
completed,
hydraulic
models
by
the
Corps
of
Engineers
and
FEMA,
but
they
are
downstream
of
the
inlet
of
the
lake,
and
so
we
will
have
to
do
some
more
work
to
actually
model
the
conditions
at
the
inlet
to
dine
to
analyze.
H
I'm
sorry
I
was
gonna.
Ask
you
about
the
core.
It
seems
any
time
to
get
into
these
lake
projects
going
on
the
core,
always
pops
up,
and
then
that
adds
a
whole
new
list
of
items
that
we
need
to
consider.
How
does
that
play
and
are
we
okay
doing
this?
Can
we
do
this
without
the
course
approval?
Where
does
that
all
fit
in
well.
G
At
this
point
that
be
part
of
our
study-
and
we
would
have
some
you
know
once
we
arrive
at
alternates
or
options
that
you
might
consider
we'd
be
in
discussions
with
the
core
about
how
they
would
consider
that,
how
much
of
a
challenge
it
might
be
to
get
that
permitted,
we
had
to
get
this
burn
permitted
at
Aberdeen,
it's
in
the
Nome
River.
That's
not
necessarily.
We
had
to
go
through
the
permitting
process.
The
study
won't
be
getting
through
the
permitting
process,
but
we
wouldn't
recommend
an
alternative
to
you
that
we
felt
you.
G
J
G
The
the
river
flows
past
there
and,
in
the
case
of
of
that
project,
the
only
real
need
in
terms
of
the
volume
of
water
is
to
maintain
enough
water
for
the
city
to
draw
it
for
their
treatment
plan,
and
that's
part
of
why
I
mentioned
that
this
type
of
a
rock
berm
in
the
end
may
not
be
the
best
choice
for
the
control
structure.
That's
something
we
have
to
evaluate,
because
we
again,
we
can't
change
the
hydraulics
at
that
location.
G
C
Obviously
it
would
be
interesting
or
it
would
be
nice
to
know
what,
if
any
impact
this
has
on
the
entire
Big
Sioux
system
as
it
runs
through
and
around
Camp
ESCA,
and
what
through
Watertown
you
know,
I
mean
that
I
just
was
curious
as
to
what
your
studies
would
show
about
that,
because
Mike
said
you
know,
sometimes
it's
over-the-top
and
sometimes
it's
just
a
trickle,
and
so
we
wouldn't
want
to
do
anything
that
would
exacerbate
that
in
any
way.
So
just
right.
G
I
G
I,
don't
think
necessarily
that
the
cost
of
this
one
is
going
to
translate
directly
to
what
might
end
up
being
the
recommended
alternate
and
camp
Pesce.
A
lot
of
that's
going
to
depend
on
the
size
of
the
structure
that
we
determine
is
necessary
at
the
inlet
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
went
into
being
able
to
build
that
some
of
that
might
be
similar
to
what
would
have
to
be
done
at
Camp
Pesce,
but
until
we
get
into
some
of
those
hydraulic
models
and
studies
and
and
determine
what
the
sediment
control
structure
needs
to
be.
G
Well,
I
can't
speak
with
much
knowledge
about
the
Big
Sioux
Roger
can
do
that,
but
less
than
five
miles
upstream
of
this
structure,
there
is
a
dam
on
the
Elm
River
and
then
there
are
at
least
two
more
upstream
of
that
and
then
several
miles
of
stream
is
the
Elm
Lake
Reservoir,
which
is
a
dam
that
controls
the
flow
in
the
helm,
River
so
I
think
the
sediment
loading
in
the
river
comes
from
runoff
of
the
adjacent
egg
lands
in
the
spring
high
moisture
and
snowmelt.
That
kind
of
thing
Donna.
G
It
off
limits
I
chuckle,
because
right
now
it's
off
limits
and
it's
off
limits,
as
as
the
water
treatment
plan
is
off
limits,
part
of
the
Homeland
Security
Act
in
the
past.
There
is
an
effort
by
some
folks
in
Aberdeen
to
try
and
get
the
city
to
open
up
some
of
that
area
for
fishing
and
public
recreation.
H
G
G
A
Well,
thank
you.
John
I,
absolutely
appreciate
it.
If
there's
no
more
questions,
Roger
I
want
you
to
stick
around
because
I
have
some
other
pictures.
I
want
you
to
put
out
for
for
the
big
sue.
If
you,
if
you
could.
Okay
thanks,
gentlemen,
appreciate
I
think
what's
gonna
happen
now
is
we
are
going
to
be
discussed
in
this
as
a
council?
If,
if
we
feel
as
though
we
should
get.
A
Put
forward
in
order
to
help
like
camp
Eska
and
once
we
get
an
idea
what
it
is
then,
of
course,
we
to
start
working
on
our
CIP
plan
and
start
budgeting
for
for
a
project
like
this
and
that
some
kind
of
something
that
we
we
do
you
know
as
a
city,
we
have
that
long
term
CIP
plan
and
but
it's
kind
of
like
planning
a
tree.
If
we
don't
get
something
I
mean
we
would
love
to
have
had
this
done
20
years
ago,
but
now
it's
probably
the
best
time
Spencer.
A
Could
you
give
these
two
to
Raj?
For
me,
this
was
brought
to
my
attention
again
Roger
and
it
deals
with
the
the
Sioux
River
and
back
in
2009
or
10.
We
had
this
same
conversation
about
what
our
river
looks
like
and
and,
as
you
can
see
right
now,
you
take
a
look
the
ones
there
with
the
that
big
log
in
there.
That's
where
that's
the
Trussell
down
there
by
is
it
McKinley,
Park
right
next
to
the
Elks
kind
of
gives
you
guys
an
idea?
A
What
we're
looking
at,
what
what
people
look
at
every
day
on
that
River?
One
of
our
concerns
are
really
is,
if
you
have
we've
always
been
said.
Well,
if
there's
a
big
water
event,
it's
just
going
to
flush
it
on
out
of
here
and
and
I
doubt
it
very,
very
much
that
that
could
happen
so
I'm
hoping
that
at
some
point
in
time
here
in
the
very
near
future,
we
can
also
start
taking
a
look
at
at
the
river
and
Roger
I.
A
F
Had
some
preliminary
discussions
with
game
fish
and
parks
and
the
Park
and
Rec
and
the
forestry
department,
what
we're
trying
to
work
out
is
the
difference
between
water
and
pediments
and
native
habitat
was
one
of
the
game.
Fish
and
parks
is
issues
that
they
had
come
up
with.
We
were
trying
to
get
something
going
this
winter
here
so
that
we
could
get
in
and
remove
some
of
the
deadfall
over
the
top
of
the
ice
I
apologize
that
kind
of
fell
through.
We
did
do
a
survey
all
the
way
through
town
last
fall.
F
A
Does
but
I
wonder
if
there
isn't
a
simpler
way
that
we
can
break
it
down
into
different
segments
and,
let's
say:
let's
start
it:
14th,
Avenue
and
start
working
our
way
through
or
or
get
rid
of
this
hotspot
right
here
and
then
start
on
14th
and
take
a
couple
two
three
blocks
or
whatever
that's
all
I'm
kind
of
saying
is:
maybe
you
have
to
take
it
in
smaller
steps
rather
than
looking
at
it?
Didn't
the
big
pie
didn't.
A
F
I
It
certainly
looks
like
it's.
The
problem
is
really
twofold:
one
is
what
comes
down
the
river,
but
if
you
go
along
there,
look
at
the
banks
of
that
thing,
there's
so
much
clutter,
trees,
down
branches
that
end
up
in
the
river
that
we're
kind
of
self
inflicting
myself.
And
it's
not
what
comes
down
the
river
now
sediment.
Does
there
only,
but
a
lot
of
what
you
see
there
and
what
you
end
up.
Seeing
there
comes
from
ourselves
on
the
sides
it
really
does,
and
that
needs
to
get
cleaned
up
as
part
of
this
so
I.
C
Think
that
was
the
intention
originally
until
things
got
sidetracked
away
from
it
right
is.
That
is
that
my
understanding
I
hang
around
that
area
really
a
lot
so
anyway,
it
changes
a
lot
in
that
area
and
Mike
is
right.
It
goes
from
everything
from
those
trees
falling
in
to
people
contributing
to
it
to
adding
logs
to
adding
rocks.
You
know
things
like
that:
kids,
throw
things
off
the
bridge
under
the
bridge,
I'm
wondering
too.
A
Of
thing
would
be
nice
ROG
if
there
was
a
way
that
when
these
guys
are
working
on
the
competitive
project,
you
know
the
engineers.
Maybe
we
could
look
at
this
river
and
take
some
just
some
shots
out
of
it
and
say:
okay,
let's,
let's
focus
on
certain
things
like
this
one
by
the
trustfull
there
we
may.
We
need
to
focus
on
that
and
get
that
stuff
out
of
there,
but
then
let's
go
further
up
and
start
working
our
way
down
some.
I
F
The
upper
big
soup
project
was
started
twenty-something
years
ago.
The
the
thought
was,
let's
not
worry
about
camp
Eska,
as
is,
let's,
can,
what's
put
all
of
our
resources
towards
the
watershed
area
directly
to
help
stop
that
stuff.
From
coming
down
to
begin
with,
the
founders
basically
set
a
20
year
time
limit
say
we're.
F
Gonna
work
really
hard
up
there
for
20
years
before
we
start
to
look
at
camp
Aska
well,
that
20
years
is
up
I'm,
not
going
to
say
we're,
completed,
doing
all
the
work
we
can
up
there,
but
it
is
getting
harder
as
the
years
go
by
and
the
funding
dries
up.
So
looking
at
the
lake
proper,
you
know
working
with
2
h2o
20
people,
there's
people
that
want
to
dredge
there's
people
that
want
to
dig
a
new
channel.
There's
people
who
want
to
build
a
marina.
F
You
know
all
these
things
were
really
looking
hard
at
to
try
and
figure
out
which
ones
are
reasonable,
which
ones
are
affordable
and
what
steps
we
should
take
to
go
through
it
right
now.
The
first
step
is
stop
what's
coming
in,
and
hence
the
discussion
this
evening
with
the
inlet/outlet
structure,
sediment
trap.
The
next
step
is
to
take
a
look
at
the
nutrients
in
the
lake.
F
I
It
seems
to
me,
though,
that
there's
really
I
know
they
can
interrelate
based
on
what
you
do.
But
to
me
there
is
a
distinct
difference
between
the
quality
of
the
lake
and
what
we
do
with
it
versus
recreational
opportunities
such
as
a
marina
or
piers
or
whatever.
My
understanding
was
what
the
master
plan
was
as
more
focused
on
the
quality,
preservation
and
restoration,
so
to
speak
of
the
actual
lake
itself,
not
planning
for
the
additional
access
or
recreational
I.
Think
there's
to
me,
they're
separate
issues.
F
You
could
very
well
be
right
in
in
my
perspective,
if
you
want
to
get
the
people
of
Watertown
behind
any
kind
of
water
quality
program,
you
need
to
include
something
that
they
can
get
behind
as
well.
They
don't
live
on
the
lake,
so
why
would
it
matter
to
them
how
clean
it
is?
Well,
if
we
make
it
cleaner
and
we
provide
more
access.
Well,
then,
they'll
care
more.
That
was
my
thoughts.
I
F
I
Could
you
you
have
those
numbers
somewhere?
Don't
you
of
what
the
estimated
contribution
is?
Yes,
is
that
anything
you
could
get
out
to
us
in
the
next
day
or
two
years,
yeah
I
mean
it
doesn't
have
to
be
right
now.
I
think
but
it'd
be
interesting
to
know
that
I
know
that
we
went
through
that
at
a
period
earlier,
went
through
some
of
those
numbers,
but
I
think
it'd
be
interesting
to
review
that
as
part
of
this
process
again.
Okay,.
A
D
Good
I've
got
one
more
question
for
you
Roger
as
long
as
you're
there,
the
lake
has
come
up
considerably
this
spring,
what
probably
close
to
two
feet,
something
like
that.
Well,
whatever
whatever
the
amount
is,
give
any
kind
of
sense,
how
much
of
that
was
attributed
to
runoff
that
came
in
versus
just
the
overall
water
table
rising.
That's.
F
This
spring
the
we
were
36
inches
below
full.
Just
before
the
I
started,
breaking
up
the
lake
jumped
six
inches
within
a
week
or
two
before
the
river
started
flowing,
which
is
telling
me
that
the
aquifer
started
pushing
water
in
from
underneath.
Then
we
came
up
we're
one
foot
below
full
now,
so
we
came
up
another
18
inches,
basically
from
the
fixed
weird
that
we've
we've
done
is
channel
watered
into
the
lake
itself.
A
F
I
want
to
say
eleven
twelve.
It
ran
around
that
long
and
just
by
observing
the
repair
that
we
have
made,
it's
really
easy
to
understand
how
that
happened
in
the
first
place
as
soon
as
it's
breached
twice
as
soon
as
the
first
breach
was
repaired,
it's
flat
out
there
guys
the
water
just
hits
that
level
and
then
spreads
out,
finds
an
easy
way
around
and
digs
a
hole.
A
F
K
K
K
There
was
a
concern
about
protecting
the
minors
in
our
community
from
the
possibility
that
our
wireless
internet,
our
wired
internet,
could
be
used
as
a
means
of
harassment
or
as
a
means
of
obtaining
obscene
imagery,
and
there
actually
had
been
a
report
of
certain
information
being
obtained
from
the
wireless
there
at
the
library
that
was
particularly
concerning.
So
there
was
a
large
there
were
some
concerns.
There
was
an
event,
and
so
there
was
decided
that
there
needed
to
be
some
kind
of
a
response.
K
Now
the
library
I
think
it's
fair
to
say,
on
the
other
hand,
also
had
a
concern
about
First
Amendment
openness
to
information,
I
think
their
their
purpose.
There,
their
mission
statement,
if
you
will
places
a
great
deal
of
emphasis
upon
the
open
transaction
of
information.
So
really
what
you
had
was
a
concern
rooted
in
the
First
Amendment
openness
to
information,
as
well
as
a
concern
about
obscenity
in
communities
and
the
impact
that
that
has
upon
our
our
youth.
K
So
it
was
with
that
that
underlying
perspective
that
we
looked
at
not
only
software
but
policy
that
would
go
along
with
that
software
to
achieve
those
objectives
and
to
do
so
in
a
balanced
fashion
and
I
believe
that
we've
really
gotten
to
that
point,
as
evidenced
by
the
fact
that
the
library
board
approved
the
software
package.
That
Spencer
is
going
to
lay
out
here,
as
well
as
the
fact
that
the
library
board
approved
the
policy
that
went
along
with
it.
I'll
see
if
I
can
find
that
here.
Real
quick.
K
So,
in
looking
at
the
legal
landscape
here,
obviously
we're
concerned
about
First
Amendment
protections.
We
were
concerned
about
state
law
that
required
libraries
to
be
proactive
and
to
ensure
that
certain
images
wouldn't
be
viewed
by
minors.
We
also
had
concerns
from
the
community
frankly
about
the
possibility
that
these
you
know,
obscene
images
could
be
viewed
by
minors
and
so
to
that
end,
this
policy
was
adopted
along
with
the
software.
The
policy
really
goes
to
explaining
what
it
is.
K
The
library
provides
in
providing
Internet
service
that
the
library
and
the
city
of
Watertown
are
not
liable
for
the
provision
of
this
service,
so
any
sort
of
virus
that
they
download
on
their
computer
if
they
use
the
wireless.
You
know
that
that
would
be
something
they'd
be
liable
for,
and
also
the
concerns
about,
improper
use
of
library,
Internet
resources.
Those
are
all
dealt
with
in
this
policy,
so
it
performs
multiple
functions.
It
protects
the
city
from
a
liability
perspective.
It
announces
what
users
can
expect
from
this
service.
It
also
allows
for
you
know
it
explains.
K
The
filter
explains
the
Terms
of
Use.
What
you
can
and
cannot
do
on
the
Internet
and
also
explains
how
a
person
who
feels
that
something
was
improperly
filtered
can
unfilter
that
particular
media
that
they
seek
by
the
internet
and,
as
Spencer
will
mention,
you
know
it
isn't
a
precise
100
percent
all
the
time
science.
It
is
something
that
you
know
may
require
some
websites
that
are
not
obscene
that
accidentally
get
blocked
to
be
unblocked.
The
library
staff
have
been
very
accommodating
in
that
respect
and
are
willing
to
perform
that
function.
K
A
L
What
would
happen
with
HTTP
traffic?
Is
it
usually
it
decrypts
it
and
then,
and
then
says,
is
this
Wells
Fargo,
okay
yeah?
Well
as
far
it
was
okay,
you
can
go
and
then
it
reading
crypts
it
well
the
they
didn't,
like
the
the
thought
of
us
breaking
that
encryption
on
data
that
isn't
ours.
You
know
if
you
work
at
the
city
and
you
go
on
dug
your
Wells
Fargo
account.
L
We
break
that
encryption
and
we
check
it
out,
and
then
we
re
encrypt
it
and
head
out
no
problem
there,
but
since
it's
kind
of
a
public
entity
we
wanted
to
be,
we
want
to
tiptoe
around
them,
so
justin
hit
on
pretty
much
everything.
The
task
force
was
created
with
city
staff,
library,
board,
members
and
citizens
of
the
public
edition.
I
wanted
to
make
sure
that
that
was
known,
that
we,
we
kind
of
made
sure
that
the
group
had.
We
had
a
wide
variety
of
people
in
that
task.
Force
Spencer.
I
L
H
K
Just
wanted
to
echo
Spencer's
thoughts
about
the
public
participation
really,
you
know
this
was
a
great
example,
I
think
of
citizen
participation,
the
importance
of
having
a
popular
perspective
on
things.
It
really
helped
move
things
along
and
helped
us
library,
staff,
legal,
IT
kind
of
get
out
of
our
narrow
frame
of
reference.
So
now.
L
As
far
as
it
as
far
as
the
content
filter
goes
is
what
happens?
There
is
if
you're
connected
to
the
Wi-Fi
we're
going
we're
going
to
assume
you're
a
child.
It's
a
little
a
little
tighter,
tighter
content
filtering
with
Wi-Fi,
because
we
don't
have
access.
We
can't
tell
we
can't
pull
that
data
say.
Oh,
this
is
Spencer's
computer
we
have
to
so
we
have
to
assume
now,
if
you're
an
adult-
and
you
want
to
be
filtered
less.
L
You
go
to
the
lab
and
you
sign
in
that's
kind
of
the
idea
now
as
far
as
the
Wi-Fi
system,
currently
the
way
we've
kind
of
worked
through.
That
is
it's
very
hard
to
contain
Wi-Fi
I'm.
So
could
people
you
know,
go
outside
the
building?
Yes,
but
one
of
the
things
we're
doing
to
discourage
that,
especially
after
hours
is
we
we
set
a
timer.
The
Wi-Fi
goes
off
in
the
library.
M
D
L
A
good
question
there,
the
the
way
this
works
is
it's
a
it's
a
DNS
filter.
So
basically,
when
you,
when
you
go
to
Watertown
SD
at
us,
is
that
has
to
get
converted
into
a
number
and
there's
domain
name
servers
that
do
that.
So
basically,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
saying
where
we
have
to
pay
this
DNS
company
to
filter
for
us
essentially,
and
that's
a
yearly
cost
and
I
think
it
was
around
$2,500
yearly
for
this
filtering,
and
that
includes
the
software
renewal,
as
well
as
the
Cisco
umbrella,
filtering
software.
So.
A
Well,
this
is
this:
is
the
problem
for
tonight
and
and
we're
going
to
be
bringing
that
forward
to
you
guys
this
evening.
This
is
something
that
has
not
been
budgeted
well,
we
would
like
to
do
you
see
if
the
library
would
be
open
to
use
their
library
fund
to
pay,
for
this
initial
I
think
is
about
eight
thousand
dollars.
Isn't
it
if.
A
I
A
A
Any
other
questions
about
anybody
on
currently
where
we're
at
on
this
side,
I
want
to
thank
you
guys
and
I
know.
Nikuman
was
very
instrumental
also
in
helping
you
I
bring
this
forward
and
I
think
this
is
really
good
timing
to
get
it
now
that
the
kids
are
going
to
be
at
the
library
all
summer
long,
if
there's
no
more
questions
all
that
these
guys
go.
