for
the

Festival

A
Didn't

and
I
will
open
up
the
public
hearing
and
ask
anyone
that
would

This
is
the
first
time
we've
utilized
our
new
tool
to
do
a
special
event,
retail
malt
beverage
and
wine
license,
and
we
think
this
is
the
right
way
to
do
it.
So
we
have
several
people
to
talk
about
this.
Please
state
your
name
for
the
records.
K
I'm
Tracy
LaVon
I'm,
the
director
of
the
Lake
area
tech
foundation,
as
you
stated,
this
is,
will
be
their
third
year
of
holding
our
festival
trees
in
our
La
ATI
campus.
It's
the
hallmark
event
for
water
tone
and
our
foundation.
Our
purpose
of
the
special
application
is
to
request
permission
to
serve
wine
and
beer.
K
D
Thank
you,
Chris
Munger
I'm,
a
member
of
the
Lake
Erie
Tech
Foundation
board,
and
we've
discuss
it
at
multiple
board
meetings
and
I'm
here
to
support
the
requests
and
also
represent
the
Foundation
board
in
bringing
the
request
forward
for
your
consideration.
So
we've
seen
the
numbers
drop,
unfortunately,
for
the
Lake,
Erie
tech
event.
D
A
H
N
Just
got
a
couple
questions,
and
maybe
just
a
concern
is
one
of
the
things
I
have.
Is
we've
been
working
with
our
Police
Department
stuff
like
that
to
try
to
curb
drinking
with
our
students
and
things
of
that
nature?
I
understand
you
guys
are
looking
at
a
over
21
crowd.
Obviously,
but
I
would
maybe
just
put
that
out
there
that
you
know
we're
trying
to
get
our
students
not
to
drink
and
we'll
be
hosting
a
drinking
generally.
K
This
event
is
not
attended
by
our
students,
they
volunteer
at
it
and
they
actually
don't
usually
participate
in
the
Supper
or
many
of
the
activities
other
than
volunteering,
their
time,
helping
with
some
of
our
setup
and
teardown
and
things.
So
we
don't
anticipate
any
issues
with
any
students.
We're.
N
K
A
A
Item
5
is
approval
of
the
employee
group,
health
insurance
plan,
renewal
for
2019
and
authorization
for
finance
officer
to
sign
all
renewal
paperwork,
necessary
I'll,
look
for
a
motion
and
second
for
approval,
move
by
Bueller.
Second,
my
damn
fourth
and
Kristin.
Let
you
explain
what
this
is.
Please:
okay,.
E
Thank
you
Mary.
This
will
be
the
renewal
for
the
2019
health
insurance
for
all
city
employees
last
year
when
I
came
forward
and
requested
this
there,
it
was
asked
if
we
had
went
out
to
anybody
besides
Wellmark
and
at
that
time
we
hadn't
this
time,
having
a
little
bit
more
time
to
get
that
completed,
we
did,
we
did
send
out
to
HealthPartners
their
renewal
came
in
twenty
percent
higher
than
Wellmark.
E
So
at
that
point,
with
a
20
percent
increase,
we
looked
at
Walmart.
How
did
also
send
out
to
United
Healthcare,
but
at
that
time
we
had
not
received
anything
back
from
them
and
they
are
fairly
new
in
South
Dakota.
So
the
insurance
committee
only
reviewed
the
Wellmark
premium.
The
Wellmark
premium
did
come
in
under
1%
for
a
premium
renewal,
which
is
excellent.
That
is
a
very,
very
good
number.
It
was
a
about
$1,500
a
month
in
total,
which
is
a
very
good
good
increase.
So
we
were
happy
with
that.
E
So
part
of
the
process
to
renew
the
health
insurance.
Is
it's
not
just
one
person
making
the
decision?
An
insurance
committee
is
formed.
That
is
made
up
of
management.
Three
representatives
from
the
unions
and
then
the
mayor
also
sits
on
that.
So
during
those
meetings,
a
lot
of
different
things
were
looked
at
different
deductible
plans.
Hsas
information
like
that
after
further
review,
the
the
biggest
thing
that
the
Insurance
Committee
wanted
to
see
and
you'll
see
in
front
of
you
is
the
past.
E
Plans
have
only
had
the
two-tier
program
which
is
either
a
single
or
a
family.
There's
been
a
lot
of
push
to
get
the
city
to
afford.
We
felt
with
how
good
the
premium
came
in
this
was
the
time
to
look
at
it.
So
with
that,
we
looked
at
the
numbers,
and
we
talked
about
some
of
the
splits
and
stuff
like
that.
E
A
lot
of
the
burden
of
a
four-tier
plan
is
pushed
on
to
the
family
and
then
it's
not
as
high
for
the
middle
and
the
single
that's
kind
of
how
the
structure
is
so
with
that
the
committee
reviewed
different
ways
to
help
the
family
plans
not
have
such
a
such
a
heavy
burden.
So
the
one
thing
that
the
committee
put
forward
is
a
95
70
split
and
that's
95
percent
contribution
to
the
single
plans
from
the
city
and
75
on
the
rest
versus
in
the
past.
E
The
single
the
single
premium
has
been
paid
in
full,
so
this
is
asking
the
singles
to
step
in
just
a
little
bit
and
help
take
away
a
little
bit
of
that
burden
for
the
for
the
families.
So
what
you
see
before
you
is
to
authorize
us
to
enter
into
the
four
tier
I
guess
I
can
answer
any
questions.
If
anybody
has
any
the
biggest
thing
with
this
is
not
knowing.
E
So
with
that
capability
to
move
it
in
the
long
run,
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
benefit
to
the
city
and
the
employees.
They
have
a
little
bit
more
movement,
but
also
the
city
isn't
paying
a
family
plan
for
those
situations
where
we
don't
have
to
be
paying
a
family
premium.
So
this
was
kind
of
I,
think
good
for
both
for
the
employees,
but
also
for
the
city.
So
there's
any
questions.
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
E
A
Other
questions,
alright,
I'll,
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item.
6
is
renewal
of
flexible
benefits,
plan
and
administrative
agreement
with
well
mark
I'm,
going
to
add
an
authorization
for
the
finance
officer
to
sign
all
renewal
paperwork
necessary
Kristin.
Oh
wait,
I'll
get
a
motion.
Second
verse
moved
by
Manties
second,
by
l'olam
and
now
Kristin,
please
Thank.
E
I
N
E
You
mayor,
this
is
something
we
do
every
year
we
I
send
it
out
to
the
department,
heads
and
let
them
take
a
opportunity
to
review
their
current
fees
and
see
if
anything
needs
to
be
adjusted
or
looked
at.
So
what
I'll
do
is
I'll
just
run
through
the
items
that
were
added
or
changed
from
the
last
one
so
to
identify
that
in
under
the
general
section,
the
research
fee
of
$25
an
hour
was
added,
that's
something
that's
new!
E
E
There
was
just
a
couple
changes
the
$200
sunday
liquor
fee
was
removed.
That
was
with
the
change
of
the
liquor
licenses.
Sorry
and
then
we
did
add
the
security-guard
employee.
That
was
when
the
discussion
came
forward
with
the
$500
for
the
company,
and
then
it
was
$50
per
employee.
So
you'll
see
that
on
there
and
then
we
also
added
the
transportation
network
company
for
$500
per
year.
Those
were
a
couple
things
that
came
through
throughout
the
year
with
ordinance
changes,
so
that's
establishing
the
fees
under
Building
Services.
They
requested
a
little
bit
more
language.
E
E
They
increased
those
just
a
little
they
and
it's
not
that
they're
increasing
the
actual
charges
at
this
time,
but
with
the
fee
resolution
and
it
allows
for
if
there
are
changes
to
gas
prices.
Medicare
changes
anything
like
that.
It
gives
them
that
freedom.
The
other
thing
was
added
was
the
miscellaneous
charges.
Mileage
was
increased
a
little
bit
and
then
the
ambulance
standby
increased
and
they
also
put
in
in
a
different
one
for
the
EMT
standby
I.
E
H
Probably
asked
this
question
in
the
past,
but
why
do
we
you
know
some
of
the
examples.
You
know
we
got
a
gas
fitter.
We
got
a
gas
fitter
contractor,
we
got
house
movers,
we
got
there's
all
of
these
businesses
that
are
service
oriented
that
are
required
to
pay
some
amount
for
a
permit
at
one
time,
whatever
it
is,
but
why
do
we
do
that?
What
do
we
do
with
that?
That
necessitates
us
to
charge
those
people
I
mean
so
they
come
in.
Do
we
do
some
background
checks
or
something
that
that
requires
us
a
charge?
E
Some
of
them
like,
if
we
speak
of
the
gas
fitter,
they
actually
have
to
take
a
test,
and
the
utilities
has
to
approve
that
they
can
be
a
licensed
gas
fitter.
So
then
it's
the
city,
who's
licensing
them,
but
the
utilities
has
has
basically
given
them
a
test
to
say
that
they
can
be
licensed
to
do
work
in
the
city.
H
A
Of
them
are,
is
something
that's
done
and
then,
if
you're
required
to
get
something
and
you
don't
and
there's
no
fee
associated
with
it,
it's
hard
to
double
the
fee
if
you're
getting
it
after
the
fact.
If
your
fee
is
zero,
you
know
that's
been
an
issue
or
the
people
disrespect
items
that
have
a
zero
fee.
A
M
If
I
could,
madam
mayor
just
for
clarity
in
the
house
mover
since
that
was
a
point
of
question,
you
know
an
example,
there
would
be
the
route
that
House
Movers
proposing
for
any
given
house
moving
throughout
the
year
city
staff
or
municipal
utilities,
staff
would
go
out
and
inspect
that
route.
Look
for
branches
or
obstructions
look
for
electrical
lines.
They
may
need
a
raise
or
move
out
of
the
way
for
those
house
moving
activities.
This
is
one
small
example
of
the
effort
that
goes
into
place
for
those
particular
licenses.
A
E
I
A
Maybe
we
could,
but
it
really
is
kind
of
inconsequential,
it's
more
of
a
formality.
To
just
show
that
you
know
there.
It
is
an
effort
and
if
you
don't
comply
that
opens
us
up
to
doing
some
other
actions
like
doubling
the
fee.
That
sort
of
thing
other
questions
all
right,
I'll
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
I
was
opposed
signify
by
saying
they
motion
carries
item.
A
A
F
Okay,
well
I
just
want
to
be.
Thank
you
guys
again
for
taking
time
to
go
over.
Our
ambulance
quote
price
that
we
have
with
you.
Just
a
little
background
on
the
SAVAK
group.
I
did
supply
some
supporting
documents
on
the
SAVAK
group.
The
SAVAK
group
is
a
buying
group.
Co-Op,
that's
based
out
of
Minnesota,
since
Minnesota
is
a
bid
based
state
like
South
Dakota.
The
SAVAK
group
allows
a
company
or
Anisa
pallet
e
to
buy
off
the
SAVAK,
RFP
or
bid
program,
so
basically
it
is
allowing
us
to
piggyback
off
of
their
bid
price.
F
So
we've
had
a
Saavik
bid
program
in
place
for
quite
a
while
now
and
we
are
currently
now
moving
forward
with
that
with
our
ambulance.
Now
we
did
when
we
asked
for
a
request
for
proposals
through
the
SAVAK
bid
group
I
think
we
put
that
up
on
the
screen.
Thanks
for
you,
the
first,
the
first
proposal
received
was
from
Allegiant.
Allegiant
has
atom
ears
ambulance,
it's
a
type
one
four-wheel-drive
ambulance
at
a
cost
of.
Excuse
me,
it's
a
Ford
for
550
at
a
cost
of
two
hundred
fourteen
thousand
four
hundred
thirty-five
dollars.
F
We
had
to
treat
in
basically
around
that
forty
five
hundred
dollar
mark
to
put
that
total
price
at
two
hundred
nine
thousand
and
nine
hundred
thirty
five
dollars.
Premier
specialty
vehicles
is
a
company
out
of
Minnesota.
They
have
a
price
tag
on
the
type
one
ambulance
at
two
hundred
and
twenty
two
thousand
two
hundred
and
thirty
one
dollars
are
to
two
and
thirty
one
dollars
and
the
trade-in.
We
actually
a
little
bit
better
on
that
one
at
that.
F
Eleven
thousand
three
hundred
twenty
three
for
the
trade
in
with
a
total
number
of
two
hundred
ten
thousand
nine
hundred
eighty
dollars
now.
The
one
thing
in
this
speaks
specifically
from
the
Allegiant
bid.
We
put
out
the
bids
on
the
specifications.
The
one
thing
they
didn't
meet
was
the
occupancy
protection
system,
that's
in
the
back
of
the
ambulance
in
the
treatment
area,
and
this
helps
protect
our
ambulance
in
case
of
a
rollover
or
accident.
F
It's
an
airbag
system
that
will
deploy
and
help
protect
ahead,
not
only
for
the
patient,
but
also
for
the
the
medic,
that's
in
the
back
back
there,
and
we
feel
that's
pretty
important
for
the
safety
aspect.
All
our
ambulance
currently
have
that
right
now,
onboard
and
Aamir's
is
not
able
to
meet
that
specification.
So
with
that,
we
recommend
moving
forward
with
the
premier
specialty
vehicles,
bid
price
of
$210,000
and
nine
ornate
bucks,
so
that's
kind
of
the
first
part
of
it.
The
second
part
is
I,
did
put
supporting
documents
for
the
two-way
radio.
F
Do
you
want
to
pull
up
the
ambulance
to
rate
and
kind
of
show
what
the
impulse
looks
like
there's
a
picture
of
a
type
1
if
we
bring
it
down
a
little
bit
further
here
we
go.
That's
our
current
medic
3
that
we
have
right
now,
and
this
ambulance
is
one
of
our
type.
1
foil
drive
ambulances,
and
essentially
this
is
the
one
that
we'll
be
replacing
not
this
current
ambulances,
a
medic
5
is
the
one
we're
replacing,
but
that's
a
type
3.
So
our
fleet,
we're
going
to
have,
is
three
foil
drive.
F
I
I
J
Mr.
Rowland,
in
there
it
says
a
trade-in
of
eleven
thousand
three
hundred
twenty
three
dollars.
Are
there
other
departments
in
South,
Dakota
or
in
the
area?
That
might
say
hey,
we'll
take
that
ambulance
for
that
price
and
so
that
they
get
a
little
break
or
does
that
get
too
cloudy?
And
it's
a
two
thousand.
O
F
Last
ambulance,
we
did
that
with
our
2009
Horton
ambulance
that
we
had.
This
particular
rig
will
have
that
same
feature,
Bruce,
where
we
can
actually
do
a
remount
as
what
it's
called
and
the
current
ambulance
that
were
going
to
be
trading
in
the
2000
ambulance,
isn't
available
to
do
that.
That
hasn't
had
that
it's
a
will
coach
ambulance,
so
it
doesn't
have
that
ability
to
it
remount.
So
this
one
here
that
we
buy
will
have
that
ability
to
do
a
remote.
Yes,.
F
Absolutely
in
2021
we
go
forward
with
our
next
ambulance
that
ambulance
will
be
a
remote
that'll,
be
a
type
3
ambulance,
which
is
that
van
type
amulets
that
we
take
down
the
road
on
transfers.
So,
like
I,
said,
we'll
have
three
four-wheel
drive
ambulances,
great
for
the
environment
that
we
have
here
in
our
country
that
we
live
in
and
we'll
have
two
two-wheel
drive
ambulances
that
we'll
be
using
to
go
back
and
forth
to
Sioux
Falls.
We
currently
put
on
about
75
to
80
thousand
miles
a
year
with
our
ambulance
and
our
fleets.
N
A
A
L
Sure
Thank
You
mayor,
so
this
is
the
amending
our
ordinance
as
it
relates
to
the
home
bowl
charter
revision
Commission,
and
what
this
will
do
will
essentially
allow
that
Commission
report
to
be
submitted
in
time
for
it
to
be
on
the
general
election
ballot
which
will
be
in
June.
So
it
just
moves
the
timelines
up,
and
so
the
report
will
ultimately
be
submitted
in
April.
A
I
A
I
A
H
L
A
Any
change
till
the
Charter
requires
a
vote
of
the
people,
so
we'll
have
to
put
it
on
for
our
election
and
we
change
the
dates
so
that
we
had
time
to
put
any
recommended
changes
on
the
ballot
for
the
June
election
in
2019.
So
that's
kind
of
the
reasoning
for
having
this
on
the
agenda.
Now
the
other
comments
or
questions
all
right,
I'll
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
A
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
number
10
is
first
reading
of
ordinance,
18
23
amending
sections
5.0
to
1:6
and
5.0
1
7
of
the
revised
ordinances
of
the
city
of
Watertown.
Regarding
elevation
references
to
include
the
lowest
floor
to
be
elevated
to
one
foot
above
the
base,
flood
elevation
for
residential
and
non-residential
construction
within
the
floodplain,
and
that
there's
no
action
required
here,
but
we
we
do
have
a
handout.
A
M
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
So
the
the
attached
draft
ordinance
in
the
council
packet
has
been
modified,
and
that
is
the
the
paper
handout
that
I
believe
Brandi
placed
in
front
of
each
of
you.
There
tonight
and
I
copies
to
the
press
as
well.
I
guess
the
general
basis
behind
this
amendment
is
allowing
the
city
to
provide
some
clarity
and
some
consistency.
M
I
should
say
with
some
of
the
terms
of
our
floodplain
management,
ordinance
and
in
relation
to
FEMA's
terminology
and
how
those
terms
are
used
across
the
nation
regarding
finished
floor
elevations
and
how
that
elevation
is
applied
in
determining
in
comparison
to
the
base.
Flood
elevation
I
saw
this
point
on
a
couple
quick
things.
This
proposed
amendment
still
maintains
what
the
city
of
Watertown
has
always
maintained
is
to
require
to
be
a
foot
above
the
base.
Flood
elevation,
FEMA
regulations.
M
This
requires
you
to
be
at
or
above
the
base
flood
elevation,
so
we've
always
gone
on
the
more
conservative
side
and
making
sure
structures
are
protected
from
flooding
to
require
them
to
be
at
least
a
foot
above
the
base.
Flood
elevation
I
just
want
to
clarify
this
does
not
change
that
at
all.
One
reason:
it's
important
to
point
that
out
is
it
also
does
not
change.
We've
already
confirmed
this.
M
This
language
adjustment
does
not,
it
does
not
affect,
will
not
affect
our
CRS
rating
and
subsequently
will
not
affect
our
insurance
rates.
Just
want
to
point
those
two
things
out
as
a
matter
of
clarity,
but
at
the
heart
of
this
change
is
we
currently
reference
in
5.0
to
one
six?
That's
chapter,
five,
the
city
code,
where
all
of
our
floodplain
regulations
are
housed,
that
for
residential
construction,
the
foot
or
a
foot
or
more
above
base,
flood
elevation
was
taken
from
the
top
of
foundation
on
which
the
lowest
flooring
system
rests.
M
That
certified
elevation
that
licensed
surveyors
provide
would
become
an
easier
reference
point
for
them
by
taking
it
from
the
lowest
finished
floor
elevation
and
by
not
including
that
flooring
structure
language
this.
Otherwise
in
there
right
now
so
long
story
short,
it
will
be
make
things
simpler
for
homeowners
and
builders
and
for
projects
if
somebody's
raising
their
home
out
of
the
floodplain,
for
example.
A
L
You
mayor
this
change
was
brought
to
me
by
the
chief
and
Assistant
Chief
of
Police
regarding
some
kind
of
some
confusion.
That's
been
going
on
in
the
field
about
how
to
apply
the
parking
restrictions,
ordinances
and
so
basically,
what
it
does
is.
It
makes
the
reference
to
the
vehicles
consistent
throughout
this
ordinance,
so
it
ensures
that
trailers
are
included
in
the
definition
of
vehicle
as
they
are
applied.
It
also
removes
ABC
in
subpart
3
their
vehicle
over
one
ton
from
that
portion.
The
reason
for
that
is
many
trucks,
normal
trucks.
L
A
Questions
don't
look
like
there
are
any
questions.
Thank
you.

M
You,
madam
mayor,
this
is
a
final
change
order
for
this
project.
This
work
has
been
completed
its
what
I
understand
to
be
an
annual
ally
project
that
the
city
administrators,
we
did
to
ally
reconstructs
with
this,
along
with
two
parking
lots,
and
it
is
a
simple
change
order
and
in
the
matter
of

the
final

quantities
to

Park
and
Rec
improvements;
project
number
1819,

an
increase
of
9000
790
$2.75,
bringing
the
total
contract
amount
to

I.
Look
for
a
motion,
second,
for
approval.
O
M
You
Madame
Eric:
this
is
a
relation
to
the
Park
and
Rec
improvements
project.
There's
a
few
components
to
this
project:
one's
an
extension
of
the
rectory
along
21st
Street,
and
we
also
have
the
north
camping
loop,
roadway
in
the
city
park
campground
and
on
the
cemetery
road
system
at
Mount,
Hope
Cemetery.
This
particular
change
order
is
related
to
the
addition
of
two
new
contract
items
for
geo
synthetic
fabric
and
crushed
concrete
and
later
on
you.
M
What
you'll
see
is
reduction
and
the
original
contract,
and
what
we've
done
is
added
these
two
components,
as
per
the
contractor's
recommendation
to
combat
and
mitigate
some
pretty
wet
and
saturated
conditions
on
these
projects.
So
they've
moved
forward
with
the
plan
and
we've
approved
their
plan
to
include
fabric
and
crushed
concrete,
a
bridge
some
of
these
wet
areas.
But
what
that
does
then
is
the
net
effect.
Is
it
reduces
the
amount
of
subgrade
excavation
and
work
or
the
existing
material
that
they
have
to
do
as
well?
M
A
You
Heath
any
questions
or
comments,
see
know
to
look
for
action
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
There's
a

saying,

motion

is
consideration

change
order,
number
1
for
the
mailing
and
a/c
Matt
construction
project
number
1814,
with
donek
Inc
for
an
increase
of
one
hundred.
Eighty
two
thousand
eight
hundred
fifty
nine
dollars.
Eighty
four
cents
bringing
the
total
contract
amount
to
nine
hundred.
A
M
For
the
melon
overlay
project
this
year
we
received
some
outstanding
bids
on
a
price
per
ton
basis
for
the
asphalt,
so
what
staff,
engineering,
staff
and
streets
department
staff
wanted
to
do
was
to
take
as
much
makeup
as
much
take
as
much
of
those
low
costs
in
this
particular
project.
So
this
particular
change
order
is
rather
sizable,
but
I
did
want
to
note
that
the
current
budget
for
this
project
is
$1,025,000.
M
So
we
are
still
underneath
that,
with
the
addition
of
these
roadways
that
were
added
to
the
smell
and
overlay
project,
a
brunt
of
this
work
was
done
on
South,
Lake,
Drive
and
Golf
Course
Road,
and
then
we
were
able
to
add
multiple
other
roadway
areas
that
were
in
need
of
milling
and
overlaying
as
well.

M
M
In
that
we
wanted
to
ensure
that
the
roadway
pavement,
the
final
surfacing,
is
not
compromised
and
we
wanted
to
let
the
grading,
the

the

sit
through

frieze
throughout
freeze-thaw
cycle
that
was
not
considered
in
the
original
design
and
the
establishment
of
the
contract
time
for
this
contract,
so
we're
needing
to
amend
it

twenty-nine

This
received
the
recommendation
of
the
committee
prior.
A
M
You,
madam
mayor,
this
is
a
final
amended
change
order.
The
reason
its
amended.
His
council
has
already
seen
the
final
change
or
for
this
project,
but
subsequent
to
their
action
on
the
final
change
order.
The
general
contractor
brought
forth
some
additional
weight
tickets
from
their
subcontractor.
That
was
for
material
related
to
this
project.
That
was
due
payment.
So
we
decided
to
handle
it
this
way
and
do
a
final
admitted
change
order.
They
model
nine
thousand
forty
eight
dollars
and
15
cents.
N
A
Think
normally
we
aren't
under
any
obligation
to
respond
to
a
request.
After
we've
closed
it
out.
Officially,
we
did
officially
close
it
out.
I,
don't
know
what
the
communication
was
with
the
contractor,
but
it's
a
courtesy
to
the
contractor.
They
made
a
mistake,
didn't
give
us
all
the
tickets
for
that
we
could
pay
upon
so
they
requested
this
and
the
council
could
say
no.
We
already
closed.
It.
A
Sorry
speak
up
sooner
next
time,
but
as
a
courtesy,
we
acknowledge
that
they
did
provide
those
materials
to
the
project
and
had
they
given
to
given
them
to
us
earlier.
We
would
have
included
them
in
the
last
change
order.
So
it's
you
know.
People
make
mistakes
because
they're
human
and
we
recognize
that
I.
A
I
mean
you're,
not
obligated
it's.
You
know
it's
a
courtesy,
okay,
any
other
questions
or
comments
all
right,
all
those
in
favor

aye.
Those
opposed

A
M
A
Questions
this
is
a
relatively
newer
technology
that
we
didn't
have
available
to
us.
You,
you
know
in
previous
years,
so
it's
kind
of
a
new
thing
where
we're
smashing
down
the
waste
and
taking
it
to
the
landfill
instead
of
spreading
it
on
fields
and
the
sludge
yeah
we're
okay,
we're
dewatering
it
and
creating
biscuits.

A
All
those
in
favor

thousand
seven

G
M
You,
madam
mayor,
this
particular
project
generally
relates
to
storm
water
improvements
out
at
the
landfill
and
is
less
related
to
the
solid
waste
handling
at
the
landfill,
but
more
just
the
runoff
at
the
site.
Now
we
manage
that
mitigate
some
of
that
runoff.
This
particular
change
order
is
with
the
engineer,
providing
construction
admin
services
for
the
city,
and
it's
specifically
for
some
surveying

They
had
to
do
and
some
planned
development
to
process
a
construction
change
order
for
an
area
that
they
were
working
in,
where
they
did
not
anticipate
encroaching
into
any
Buried
waste,
but
the
in
fact
did
end
up,
encroaching
some
buried
waste
and
needed
to
mitigate
that
modify
the
design
accordingly,
and
so
that's
what
this
changeover
is
for.
For
those
engineering
services

is
consideration
of
the
annual
joint
funding
agreement
with
the
United
States
Geological
Survey
for
operation
and
maintenance
of
the
Upper
Big
Sioux
River
flood
forecasting
system
for
the
period
of
October
1st
2018
through
September
30
2019,
and
this
also
received
the
recommendation
of
the
committee.
Look
for
a
motion
second
for
approval
by
manty.
Second,
by
bill,
Howard
Keith
Haas.
M
No
this
this
particular
contracts,
a
unique
one
and,
in
fact,
is
with
the
USGS
for
their
water,
gauging
stations
that
they
have
in
and
around
the
community
for
the
surface
water
monitoring
that
they
help
perform
this.
This
is
a
very
critical
amount
of
information
that
these
gauges
and
systems
help
provide
the
city
and
combating
and
forecasting
flooding
scenarios
and
the
overall
flood
forecasting
system
that
water
town
has
going
for
it.
The
contract
amount
for
this
agreement
as
far
as
the
city's
expense
is
twenty
three
thousand
three
hundred
and
thirty
dollars.
M
We
did
research
previous
years,
and
that
is
pretty
close
to
what
we've
seen
in
the
last
few
years.
It's
gone
up
a
small
amount
each
year
as
the
cost
to
maintain
these
gauging
systems
does
go
up
for
the
USGS
and
they
incorporate
that
that
rise
in
maintenance
fees
in
our
fees
as
well.
I
also
just
wanted
to
quickly
note
that
this
this
program
that
the
USGS
offers
that
these
costs
are
shared
not
only
with
the
city
of
Watertown,
but
also
with
Coddington
County
and
Lake
Camp
Aska
and
the
ENR
as
well.
A
Thank
you
any
questions,
all
right.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item.
Number
22
is
update
to
the
personnel
policy
manual.
Now,
will
we
be
adopting
so
I
need
a
motion
second
for
approval
well
by
l'olam
second,
by
manty,
and
we
have
well
let
Kristen
introduce
it.
E
Thank
You
mayor
before
the
council
tonight
is
the
updated
personnel
manual.
It's
been
through
the
works
for
quite
a
while.
Now
we've
had
some
change,
so
it's
taken
a
while
I
will
actually
let
Audra
kind
of
go
through
some
of
the
top
points.
We
won't
hit
every
thing
that
changed,
but
some
of
the
ones
that
were
significant.
This
again
is
something
that
a
committee
is
formed.
It's
a
committee
of
different
departments
management,
along
with
the
attorney
HR,
so
there's
quite
a
few
different
groups
looking
at
this.
P
P
Kristin
spoke
to
the
adaption
and
the
amendment
of
the
personnel
policy
process,
so
I'm
not
going
to
talk
a
lot
about
that,
but
one
of
the
things
that
we
did
was
just.
We
struck
the
municipal
utilities
commission
because
they
have
their
own
board
and
similar
process
that
we
do
in
their
own
personal
policy
manual
under
article
4,
a
lot
of
changes,
but
a
lot
of
just
housekeeping.
P
We
have
new
requirements
for
the
I-9,
which
is
a
pre-employment
form,
that's
required
by
the
federal
government
to
establish
identity
and
right
to
work
legally,
there's
different
parameters
with
that
in
timing.
So
we
just
made
that
consistent
with
the
the
federal
requirements
and
skipping
to
under
insurance.
P
When
someone's
on
a
leave
of
absence,
how
insurance
is
handled
and
covered
for
that
person
and
it's
kind
of
dependent
on
if
they're,
on
a
protected
FMLA
leave
or
if
it's
non
protected,
just
on
a
leave
of
absence
and
that
is
dictated
by
the
contract
between
the
insurance
company
and
the
city
of
Watertown,
so
it
really
doesn't
have
anything
to
do
with
what
we
want
it
to
be.
It's
it's
just
consistent
with
what
the
contract
says
attendants.
We
clarified
that
that's
under
article
7
and
I
believe
everybody
has
a
copy
of
this.
P
P
The
under
leave
leaves
of
absence.
We
changed
the
idea
that
people
get
to
use
their
vacation
when
they're
hired
after
90
days
it
used
to
be
that
they
had
to
wait
until
their
probationary
period
ended.
So
that
was
a
nice
change
for
new
employees.
Also,
we
incorporated
witness
duty
under
jury
duty,
because
there
are
times
when
people
have
gotten
subpoenaed
for
court
to
be
a
witness
as
well
as
a
juror.
P
So
that
was
one
of
the
changes
that
was
added,
but
halfway
through
here
under
our
classification
system,
language
under
article
11,
there
are
some
things
that
are
required
if
we
were
ever
to
layoff
subcontract
downsize.
That
type
of
thing
we
added
language
that
says
that
we
would
provide.
If
that's
ever
happens,
we
haven't
had
to
do
that,
but
if
we
were
ever
to
do
that,
we
would
provide
first
preference
for
other
job
openings
to
those
people
that
experience
that.
P
There's
a
lot
of
changes
under
article
12
for
general
conduct
and
appearance.
We
basically
kind
of
laid
it
out
better,
so
it's
easier
to
navigate
around
and
clean
it
up,
but
we
added
some
labels
like
in
regards
to
what
the
conduct
related
to
if
it's
city,
property
and
resources,
for
example,
vehicle
operations,
conduct
and
behavior
expectations.
P
Those
were
definitely
things
that
needed
to
be
added.
The
list
is
not
all
encompassing,
so
it's
it's
not
limited
the
hope
to
those
things,
but
just
to
provide
some
reference
for
for
people.
Also,
we
added
political
activity
to
be
consistent
with
some
of
our
provisions
and
our
other
documents,
such
as
the
Home
Rule
Charter,.
P
Okay,
that's
article
12,
so
I'm
not
quite
getting
down
to
there
outside
employment.
We
just
basically
noted
that
this
is
this.
Language
is
also
consistent
with
one
of
our
ordinances,
8.01
302
number
14,
as
well
as
the
Home
Rule
Charter
section
8.01,
so
just
to
bring
those
a
little
bit
more
more
transparency
to
that
under
travel
regulations.
This
is
applying
to
city
people
that
use
city
vehicles.
So
when
they're
in
the
course
of
performing
their
duties,
we
didn't
really
have
a
section
just
related
to
that
before.
P
There
was
a
section
before
relating
to
a
grievance
procedure
that
had
only
been
used.
I
was
told
one
time
in
the
15
years
that
the
longest
term
person
on
the
committee-
or
maybe
he
was
there
at
20-
he's
been
with
us
20
years.
Also
we're
not
required
to
have
that
any
longer,
as
per
the
South
Dakota
codified
law.
So
it
was
in
the
opinion
of
our
insurance
provider
that
go
ahead
and
get
rid
of
that.
So
we
took
their
advice
and
we
did
that.
P
And
under
separation
of
employment,
we
added
some
information
regarding
returning
of
city
property
to
be
consistent
with
today's
times,
in
meaning
that
digital
information
is
considered
shared
property
and
some
intellectual
property
emails,
etc.
So
we
have
put
processes
in
place
to
capture
any
city
related
information.
P
Under
our
alcohol
abuse
policy.
We
made
that
more
restrictive
the
language
before
I
was
really
permissive.
So
we
clean
that
up
a
little
bit
under
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act
article
18.
We
added
the
contact
person
to
be
myself
instead
of
the
city.
Engineer,
takes
some
work
off
a
he--this
plate,
no
and
then
also
under
municipal
utilities.
We
scrap
that
because
they
have
their
own
ad
a
person
she
lemon
Inga
would
be
the
point
of
contact
there.
P
We
also
updated
our
anti
harassment
policy
to
be
a
little
bit
more
explicit
so
that
employees
knew
exactly
what
it
is
that
was
expected
if
they
were
to
be
a
target
of
harassment
and
indicate
that
we
want
employees
to
put
the
person
on
notice.
Whoever
is
the
person
that
is
targeting
them
so
to
speak
with
whatever
action
it
is
and
let
them
know
that
the
behaviors
unwanted,
because
sometimes
people
don't
always
know
that
a
behavior
is
unwanted
and
they
think
that
that
person
that
they're
saying
something
to
thinks
that
it's
funny.
P
When
you
know
that's
not
always
the
case.
So
we
add
some
expectation
about
that,
and
also
certainly,
if,
if
they're,
not
comfortable
talking
to
that
person,
there's
language
in
there
to
go
that
they
can
go
to
the
supervisor
as
well.
So
unwanted
and
pervasive
are
kind
of
the
two
signals
that
I
always
tell
employees
to
to
use
as
if
something
is
going
to
be
harassment
or
not
to
bring
that
to
our
attention,
because
we
want
to
put
it
to
a
stop
article
20.
We
the
anti
violence
and
weapons
policy.
P
We
widened
that
to
include
behavior
that
it's
not
just
for
our
employees,
but
also
for
volunteers,
and
it's
not
just
employees
with
public
but
its
employees,
to
other
employees,
employees
to
volunteers
and
so
forth,
and
so
on
that
we
struck
the
provision
that
talks
about
employees
who
live
in
a
private
residence.
Being.
Okay,
to
have
a
weapon
because
we
don't
have
that
person
living
at
City,
Park
anymore
or
at
the
zoo
years
ago,
so
that
kind
of
was
outdated
language,
an
article
21.
P
Last
couple
things
we
added
as
our
a
couple
of
appendices,
our
external
hiring
process,
since
we've
no
longer
have
the
civil
service
process
testing
we
do
still
have
testing
in
inform
of
interviews.
Are
the
interviews
test,
questions
and
a
standardized
tests
or
standardized
ranking
form
that
we
use
to
rank
these
people
that
apply
for
positions
and
then
there's
a
qualified
list.
So
we
still
have
it,
but
it
just
lays
out
the
process.
I've
also
gone
and
updated
the
d-o-t
drug
and
alcohol
testing
policy
to
be
consistent
with
current
CFR
and
at
CFR
49.
P
P
P
G
E
A
A
A
E
Think
what
came
out
of
the
committee
is
with
the
exempt
positions.
The
thought
was
just
to
open
it
up
there
again
when
this
is
covering
quite
a
few
positions.
That
I
would
say,
I
mean
I,
guess
would
I
guess.
If
we
were
to
speak
of
the
exempt
position
that
this
would
be,
you
would
be
going
between,
say
the
assistant
fire
chief
and
the
assistant
police
chief
right.
H
P
A
Okay,
so
elected
officials
are
not
named
as
people
eligible
to
use
a
car
that
the
city
owns
I'm
wondering
if
it
might
be
better
to
modify
who
can
use
the
vehicles
to
include
them.
So
because
we
have
a
vehicle
and
pier
the
it's.
A
city,
vehicle
and
council
members
are
using
it
when
they
go
to
Pier
sure.
But
according
to
this
policy,
they
would
not
be
allowed
and.
A
E
Think
there
again,
it
was
to
clarify
that
we
do
have
certain
volunteers
and
when
they
are
approved
by
council,
as
volunteers
are
thus
covered
under
work.
Comp.
So
I
think
this
is
to
kind
of
clarify
that
I
mean
they
have
to
have
gone
through
the
process
of
being
approved
as
a
volunteer
by
the
council
to
be
out
using
city
vehicles.
Stuff
like
that,
could.
A
We
and
another
thing
that
I've
been
talking
about
with
Matt
on
this
is
expanding
the
use
of
that
city
owned
vehicle
at
the
airport
in
pier
which
doesn't
get
much
use
and
when
I've
used
it
on
several
occasions
of
battery's
been
dead
because
nobody's
driven
it
for
a
long
time.
It
would
be
beneficial
to
us
to
allow
that
vehicle
to
get
more
use,
and
that
would
be
extremely
beneficial
to
other,
like
public
employees,
to
use
it.
A
If
the
council
could
maybe
authorize
that,
so
we
could
say
unless
authorized
by
City
Council
I
would
I
would
highly
recommend
that,
for
instance,
LAPI
folks
go
to
Pierre
quite
often,
and
I
would
have
no
problem
whatsoever
with
allowing
them
to
use
our
vehicle
or
state
employees
who
travel
from
Watertown
to
Pierre.
Or
you
know
they
would
have
to
get
clearance
through
us,
but
I
I.
Think
I.
Don't
want
to
restrict
it
to
only
city,
employees
and
volunteers,
but.
A
E
I
E
Sorry
Matt,
but
this
policy
manual
is
really
just
in
regards
it's
not
in
regards
to
how
we
want
to
treat
the
car
and
pier
this
is
for
our
employees.
This
is
how
we
handle
our
employees,
so
in
regards
to
that,
if
we
want
to
do
something
with
the
car
and
pier
I
think
we
would
be
able
to
handle
that
through
a
separate
policy
of
more
of
a
car
policy.
Okay,.
A
But
I
want
to
be
clear
for
employees
as
well
I'm
generally
only
city
Watertown
employees
shall
be
passengers
in
city
vehicles
and
I
also
have
an
issue
with
that.
As
a
you
know,
we
have
transported
contractors,
engineers,
consultants
and,
as
a
city,
employee
I
have
done
that
in
my
past
and
it
this
would
tell
me
no
I
can't
do
that
and
I
don't
know
that.
Did
they
consider
that
when
they
were
reviewing
this
did
that
come
up
because
I
don't
think
we
want
to
restrict
that
necessarily
I
cut.
A
Be
okay
passing
this,
if
you
can
assure
me
that
a
simple
council
policy
for
these
other
things
that
I'm
describing
with
the
vehicles
could
be
passed,
but
then
how
do
you
communicate
that
to
the
employees
when
they
see
write
in
their
manual?
They
can't
take
me
I'm,
an
elected
official
I'm
not
listed
as
somebody
authorized
to
write
in
a
city
vehicle.
L
A
Yeah,
okay,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
we're,
not
forgetting
a
bunch
of
stuff
and
I
have
been
I,
mean
I've
gotten
many
requests
to
use
that
vehicle
in
peer
from
officials
from
La,
Ti
and
I.
Think
that's
a
good
idea,
but
I
recognize
I'm.
Just
a
person.
I
would
think
that
the
council
could
authorize
certain
individuals
to
use
that
vehicle
and
if
that
will
be
covered
elsewhere,
then
I'll
just
drop.
It.
L
A
A
I
Think
you
raise
a
good
point
mayor
and
what's
the
urgency
in
someone's
been
on
the
in
the
works
for
I
heard
a
couple
years
mentioned
a
few
minutes
ago,
I
mean
I'd
like
to
get
this
fleshed
out
and
make
sure
that
we
are
saying
what
we
want
to
be
saying
and
that
we're
covered
from
a
liability
so
I
mean
I.
Can
we
table
it
for
for
tonight
and
flesh
this
out
levar
and
bring
it
back
in
the
near
future?
There's
some
sense
of
urgency
as
to
why
this
needs
to
be
passed.
No
I
think.
E
If
there's
part
that
there's
concern
about,
we
can
pull
those
out
and
not
it,
but
I
would
hate
to
see
I
mean
I
can't
say
what
to
do,
but
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
work
that
went
into
this
and
if
there's
one
section
that
isn't
meeting
the
go-ahead,
if
we
would
pull
that
out,
otherwise
a
lot
of
it
like.
So
this
has
been
a
long
commute.
I
A
I
H
G
E
But
that's
what
I'm
saying
I
think
that's
why,
even
if
it's
for
a
city,
business
purpose,
you
could
have
contractors
and
such
and
I
don't
know
if
there
does
need
to
be
more
clarification,
but
I,
think
the
tide
of
the
city.
Business
is
with
the
thought
that
that
employee
is
bringing
along
the
required
people
to
if
it's
a
meeting
outside
of
you
know,
town
or
whatever,
but
it's
for
City
business.
Well,.
N
A
H
M
Think
the
key
terms,
my
interpretation
for
whatever
it's
worth
under
30,
no
for
part
three,
it
restricts
family
members,
minor
children,
non
employees,
except
as
required
for
city
business,
are
prohibited
from
writing
and
city
vehicles.
That
would
lead
me
to
believe
that
non
employees
that
are
part
of
City
business
can
write
an
estate
vehicle.
Q
Q
We
lease
it
to
people
who
use
it
or
to
the
state
I
mean
I
mean
we
could
play
with
that
for
a
long
time,
but
I
do
I
feel
like
if
I'm
reading
this
that,
as
long
as
it
says
that
I
can
use
this
on
a
business
purpose,
I
would
interpret
that
as
being
able
to
pickup
a
contractor,
or
vice
versa.
You
know
somebody
being
able
to
pickup
me
like
the
police
when
I'm
hitchhiking,
but
no.
Q
No,
but
I'm
saying
is
that
I
think
we
have
this
covered
from
an
employee
point
of
view
and
we
can
work
more
on
that
I'm.
Just
talking
on
my
opinion.
Now
we
can
work
more
on
that
car
and
Pierre
beyond
the
giving
the
city
and
a
you
know
an
employee,
saying:
okay,
you
land
in
Pierre,
here's
a
car,
you
get
it
the
keys
from
behind
the
desk
at
the
airport
and
the
you.
Here's
who
you're
gonna
pick
up
from
the
state.
P
H
And
is
there
a
period
of
time
where
we
know,
maybe
someone
is
not
performing
to
their
level
of
work
that
they
should
be
you're
in
that
probationary
period.
Yes,
and
during
that
time,
should
they
be
allowed
to
be
using
paid
vacation
if
they're
not
performing
the
work
to
a
standard.
That's
acceptable,
I.
H
Did
you
did
say
that
you
couldn't
use
your
pain
vacation
until
you've
passed
probation
right
now,
you're
just
saying
after
90
days,
you
can
do
that
I
think
what
you
need
to
do
at
that
point.
If
you're
gonna
allow
that
they
have
to
be
an
employee
in
good
standing
in
my
opinion,
if
they
aren't
performing,
they
should
not
be
able
to
be
using
paid
vacation.
Okay,.
O
M
P
P
Don't
have
a
formal
process,
councilmember
Danforth
for
I
mean
we
have
a
probationary
performance
evaluation
that
you
know
indicates
that
they've
passed
or
not
passed
probation,
but
nothing
like
you
know
in
the
interim,
like
every
two
months,
for
example,
or
every
month
that
would
hopefully
they're
having
those
discussions
with
that
employee.
That
says,
you
know
you're
not
making
it
or
you're
not.
You
know
you
need
to
do
this,
but
so.
H
I
H
You
know
I'm
not
performing
the
manner
that
I
should
he
has
the
right
to
deny
that
request.
Then
yes,
do
we
that's
the
next
question,
because
my
point
is
is
I
think
if
you
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
can
create
non
performance
issues?
Attendance
may
be
great
worker,
but
you're,
not
here
very
often,
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
different
things
that
can
come
into
play
and
to
me
the
last
thing
we
should
be
doing
is
paying
them
to
not
be
here.
So
that's
just
food
for
thought.
H
P
Talked
about
that,
that's
interesting!
You
bring
that
up,
because
Aberdeen
presented
us
with
some
information
about
you
know
for
employees
about
how
we
customers
treat
you
and
that
sort
of
thing
and
what's
what's
permitted
and
what's
not
permitted,
but
the
consensus
among
the
group
was,
you
know
this
is
for
our
employees
and
it's
a
personnel
manual.
That's
good
information,
but
where
would
be
the
appropriate
place
for
us
to?
How
is
that
information
I?
Think.
H
They
need
to
know
what
to
do
if
they
have
a
concern,
because
as
public
servants
and
is
in
a
small
community,
people
know
who
you
are,
what
department
you
work
in
kind
of
what
you
do
or
they
think
they
know
what
you
do
anyway
right
and
and
it
does
create
situations
of
harassment,
I've
seen
it
myself
within
with
people.
So
the
key
is
that
they
must
know
that
they
should
report
it.
H
E
A
A
Just
I
I
know
from
personal
experience
that
comp
time
was
not
guaranteed
that
you,
you
know
people
exempt
employees
such
as
you
know,
department,
heads
assistant
department,
heads,
go
to
a
lot
of
meetings
outside
of
regular
work
hours
and
accrue
a
lot
of
time
over
40
hours
some
weeks,
and
that
time
was
I
mean
when
I
began.
My
employment
with
the
city
of
Watertown
as
an
exempt
employee
I,
was
told
in
no
uncertain
terms
that
that
isn't
a
benefit
that
you
can
count
on.
A
A
O
E
E
And
then
on,
the
non-exempt
is
just
kind
of
the
point
that
Audrey
hit
on
is
with
them.
It's
a
basically
a
compensation
for
overtime,
so
it's
at
a
time
and
a
half
paid
they're
receiving
it
at
time
and
a
half
hours
so,
but
no
for
non-exempt.
If
they
leave
the
city's
employment,
they
are
paid
out
at
that
time
because
they
have
earned
that,
whereas
the
exempt
is
more
for
that
salary
type
position.
All.
A
A
A
Q
H
Want
to
make
a
comment
this
last
week
or
last
week
whenever
it
was
the
new
range
opened
up
and
and
it's
a
wonderful
asset
for
community
really
is
that
I've
been
out
there
a
few
times
since
then
and
and
I
think
it's
a.
It
shows
a
very
good
level
of
cooperation
between
the
governmental
entities
that
all
were
involved,
but
it's
really
gonna
be
a
very
positive
thing
and
especially
the
fact
that
it's
a
free
asset
for
the
people
to
use
I
think
it's
a
wonderful
thing.
So
thank
all
those
involved.
Yes,.
A
That
is
definitely
a
very
nice
thing
that
we
have
in
Watertown
that
nobody
else
in
South
Dakota
has
so
we
are
very
excited
about
it.
Is
there
any
other
old
business
new
businesses
next
on
the
agenda?
I
would
like
to
point
out
that
the
city
is
planning
to
hold
an
informational
tax
presentation
and
Kristin's
been
working
on
that
with
Councilman
Roby
and
with
me,
and
we
think
it's
a
really
good
time
an
opportune
time
to
talk
about
how
the
city
gets
money
to
do
its
business.
A
So
looking
forward
to
that,
I,
don't
think
the
date
set,
but
we're
we're
considering
later
this
month
sometime
in
the
evening.
So
it
would
be
in
this
room
and
we
to
record
it
so
that
people
who
aren't
able
to
come
can
watch
it
later.
Is
there
any
other
new
business?
Oh
yes,
thank
you.
Glenn
on
November
14th,
we'll
have
a
presentation
by
the
SDSU
architecture
department.
The
architecture
students
have
been
studying
our
downtown
Watertown
and
they'll.
A
Be
they've,
come
once
to
do
a
midstream
presentation
of
the
work
that
they've
done
and
on
November
14th
at
5:30
they'll
be
back
to
present
their
final
presentation
and
that
will
be
open
to
the
public.
It's
5:30
to
7:30
and
there
will
be
food
here
for
people
who
are
maybe
skipping
lunch
to
go
to
it,
but
their
first
presentation
was
very
well
received.
A
good
crowd
came,
and
it
was
very
interesting
so
hope
a
lot
of
people
will
come
to
that
later.
Is
that
here
that
will
be
right
here
in
the
City
Council
Chambers.
A
Tomorrow's
boring
day
are
there
any
liaison
member
reports
and
I
do
believe.
We
have
a
reason
to
go
into
executive
session
this
evening
in
order
to
discuss
and
consult
with
legal
counsel
on
contractual
matters
right,
and
we
do
not
expect
to
take
any
action
when
we
come
out.
So
I
will
look
for
a
motion
and
second
to
go
into
executive
session,
move
by
Bueller
second
by
Danforth,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
are
posting.
A
fiber
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
we're
in
executive
session.
