item
is

council.
A
This
is
a
new
thing
that
we've
been
doing
on
our
agendas.
You
may
have
noticed
that
we've
added
public
comment
period
and
we
generally
would
always
allow
anyone
that
would
come
to
speak
if
they
want
to,
but
the
state
law
is
changing
and
by
July
1st
of
this
year
we
must
show
that
on
our
agenda
and
have
a
public
comment
period,
so
we
just
start
doing
it
right
away.
Is
there
anyone
in
the
audience
that
would
like
to
speak?
Please
come
forward
state,
your
name.
H
Mayor
and
council
I'm
Greg
blow
Frye
and
I'm,
representing
the
Watertown
Art
Walk
and
first
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
generous
gift
to
the
Art
Walk
this
year.
This
is
our
fourth
year
and
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
that
on
Friday
morning
we
will
be
D
installing
the
current
art.
So
if
you
want
to
take
a
look,
one
last
time
get
out
there
between
snowfalls
and
take
a
look
at
the
old
art
which
we
really
like.
H
The
new
art
will
be
installed
on
the
11th
of
May,
and
we
have
some
really
interesting
and
nice
pieces
plus
we're
adding
two
new
locations,
one
in
front
of
turbek
law
and
the
other
in
front
of
Harry's.
So
I
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
the
old
art
and
get
ready
for
the
new
art,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
fun.
Thank
you.
Thank.

A
You
anyone
else
all
right.
Moving
on
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
approval
of
the
agenda
and
I
do
have
a
couple
of
changes
to
make.
I
would
like
to
add
item
28
a
sickly,
Bank
and
request
to
the
agenda
after
the
executive
session
and
I
would
like
to
remove
item
number
5.
The
annual
convention,
Visitors
Bureau
update,
will
do
that
at
a
later
meeting.
Are
there
any
other
proposed
changes?
A
Hello
I
would
like
Johnstone
Barger
to
come
forward.
John
has
served
on
the
plan.
Commission
Board
of
Adjustment
and
signed
code
Board
of
Appeals
for
the
last
seven
years
and
he's
recently
resigned
and
I
worked
with
John
for
many
years,
he's
very
deeply
respected
by
the
staff
and
the
other
commissioners
and
I
want
to
really
thank
you
for
all
of
your
years
of
service.
We've
greatly
appreciated.
C
A
This
decision
is
up
to
the
officials
elected
by
the
public
to
make
decisions
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city
of
Watertown,
and
they
may
not
all
agree-
and
this
is
to
be
expected,
but
I
do
think
that
they
all
have
the
best
interests
of
the
public
in
mind.
So
please
be
respectful
of
that.
As
you
watch
and
listen,
they
have
taken
this
question
to
heart
and
will
vote
to
do
what
they
think
is
the
best
decision
for
our
community.
A
Whether
you
agree
or
disagree,
you
will
have
many
people
on
your
site,
so
let
the
council
do
what
they
think
is
right
and
please
respect
them
for
it.
The
city
has
a
long
history
of
investing
in
quality
of
life,
amenities
which
do
not
support
themselves
directly
with
revenue
that
they
generate.
Examples
include
our
road
network,
the
zoo,
the
library,
/
Lakes,
Wellness,
Center
parks,
bike
trails,
cemetery,
Golf,
Course,
the
recreation
program
for
all
ages
and
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
A
Millions
of
tax
dollars
are
spent
every
year
on
these
community
features
which
make
Watertown
an
attractive
place
to
live,
and
a
visit
most
would
agree
that
we
should
spend
tax
dollars
on
roads.
Roads
are
a
major
expenditure
in
the
city
budget.
Beyond
that
people
disagree
on
virtually
every
other
amenity,
we
either
spend
too
little
or
we
spend
too
much
on
them.
Your
elected
officials
make
the
difficult
call
invariably,
though,
they
vote
to
include
quality
of
life
projects
because
they
know
how
important
they
are
to
keeping
our
city
growing.
A
A
What's
the
right
balance,
it
is
a
great
deal
of
information
to
comprehend
all
of
this,
and
the
council
is
doing
their
best
to
get
it
right.
For
the
taxpayers,
thousands
of
Watertown
citizens
participated
in
the
vision,
H
2020
process
and
proclaimed
that
having
a
vibrant
downtown
to
be
a
top
priority
and
the
gaas
is
a
unique
feature
in
downtown.
A
We
have
an
opportunity,
with
the
recently
formed
nonprofit
organization,
Friends
of
the
gaas,
to
support
a
community-based
initiative
to
buy
that
building
and
use
it
as
a
community
feature,
we
can
do
something
that
would
preserve
history,
provide
identity
and
an
anchor
serve
as
an
educational
annex
for
lati
and
offer
a
venue
for
large
gatherings.
As
with
all
such
opportunities,
there
is
a
price
and
there
is
a
risk.
The
outcome
of
the
vote
will
speak
volumes
about
our
community
and
the
direction
our
leaders
wish
to
take.
A
If
the
council
votes
to
match
the
Community
Foundation's
gift,
I
personally
will
see
this
as
an
expression
of
optimism
in
water
town's
future,
but
it
is
up
to
them
so
with
that,
I
would
like
to
invite
the
spokesperson
from
the
Friends
of
the
gaas
to
make
a
brief
presentation,
but
I
have
a
couple
of
council
members
that
want
to
say
something.
First,
I.
J
K
Roby
two
weeks
ago,
in
terms
of
being
transparent
and
full
disclosure,
I
did
disclose
that
I
had
my
wife
and
I
had
contributed
funds
about
a
year
ago
to
the
to
the
gauss
as
I've
been
very
open.
I
support
that
facility
I
did
confirm
with
our
city
attorney
and
others
that
there
is
no
conflict
of
interest
as
I
receive
no
benefit
from
that
I
want
to.
K
Secondly,
add
to
that
that
I
received
an
email
last
night
that
basically
thought
was
considering
if
I
should
recuse
myself,
because
there
could
potentially
be
a
liquor
license
at
that
facility
I'm
part
of
a
business
that
does
possess
a
liquor
license
for
those
of
you
that
watch
every
council
meeting.
You've
probably
seen
me
recuse
myself
quite
often
when
those
issues
come
up
just
to
prevent
any
conflict
of
interest.
The
Gauss
issue
we
face
tonight
has
nothing
to
do
with
any
liquor
license.
It
has
to
do
with
the
ownership
of
the
building.
K
A
L
Not
sure,
if
I,
if
now
or
after
dr.
Sherman's
presentation
but
I
would
like
to
for
the
for
the
benefit
of
the
audience,
those
watching
as
well
as,
for
example,
I
would
like
to
have
our
finance
officers
to
explain
what
what
we
are
actually
doing
tonight
relative
to
the
ordinance
that
we
have
in
front
of
us.
Would
you
please
do
that?
Kristen?
Yes,.
B
Thank
you,
the
ordinance
in
front
of
you
tonight
what
it
does
is.
Every
year
about
September
the
council
is
asked
to
approve
a
budget
supplement
ordinance
and
what
that
does
is
it
gives
all
the
city
departments
the
authority
to
spend
the
budget
based
off
of
what
the
council
has
approved.
The
request
came
before
the
council
to
not
only
do
a
grant
to
the
community
foundation,
but
also
a
contribution
to
the
Friends
of
the
goz.
Neither
of
those
items
were
budgeted
so
with
there
being
no
budget
Authority
a
budget
supplement
is
what
is
needed.
B
D
A
L
F
B
B
N
A
A
A
C
A
M
A
M
M
A
O
O
Okay,
first
like
why
is
this
a
great
opportunity?
Well,
first,
the
Friends
of
God
foundation
was
created.
We
received
IRS
letter
of
certification
as
a
nonprofit
foundation
on
February
21st.
This
is
once
again
a
community
ownership
of
the
building.
It
is
not
the
city
owning
the
building.
The
purchase
price
is
$300,000.
O
O
And
again,
I
want
to
emphasize.
This
is
not
a
bailout
of
a
business.
This
is
a
contribution
to
a
nonprofit
foundation
to
keep
a
landmark
open.
That
landmark
was
created
in
1889.
You
know
it's
a
center
point
of
the
downtown
community.
It's
a
one
of
the
big
features
in
the
downtown
community.
The
501
C
3
structure
as
a
nonprofit
makes
it
possible
for
us
to
go
after
other
grants
and
other
philanthropic
eligibility.
O
We've
had
many
people
in
the
community
say
come
back
to
us
when
you
get
your
foundation
owning
the
building,
and
we
want
to
be
part
of
making
this
work.
That
hasn't
happened
to
date,
because
the
foundation
does
not
own
the
building.
This
kind
of
arrangement
is
similar
to
the
opera
houses
in
LEED
and
also
in
Spearfish
that
are
supported
and
operated
by
foundations.
O
O
There
is
a
damage
to
one
of
the
the
beams
in
the
ceiling
in
the
roof
that
is
being
repaired
right
now.
That
has
to
be
fixed
and
assured,
with
an
architect's
letter
of
assurance
that
it
is
fixed.
Otherwise
this
is
not
going
to
go
through
and
in
the
event
that
the
Opera
House
does
not
make
it
financially.
If
the
house
or
the
buildings
were
to
be
sold,
the
city
would
get
its
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
back,
and
so
with
the
community
foundation.
O
So
the
plan
is
for
the
foundation
to
own
the
building.
The
restaurant
has
to
make
it
on
its
own.
This
is
not
buying
a
restaurant,
it
is
paying
money
to
the
foundation,
so
the
foundation
can
own
the
Opera
House,
whoever
is
operating.
The
restaurant
has
to
pay
a
lease
to
the
foundation
to
operate
that
restaurant
and
therefore
that
restaurant
has
to
make
it
on
its
own.
It's
not
part
of
the
Friends
of
Goss.
We
plan
to
lease
out
off
a
space.
We
mentioned
two
weeks
ago
that
we
have
several
offices
already
rented.
O
We
hope
to
continue
to
rent
out
the
Opera,
Hall
itself
and
other
spaces
in
the
building.
We
hope
to
have
do
some
significant
fundraising
once
the
Opera
House
is
owned
by
the
foundation,
and
we
look
for
bringing
in
people
from
the
community
to
help
us
strategize
how
to
go
forward
with
this
and
have
a
number
of
listening
sessions
held
at
the
opera
hall,
so
that
we
get
some
ideas
and
we
want
to
get
partnerships
with
the
community
to
come
in
and
take
over
and
own
this
this
building.
O
A
You,
dr.
Schurman,
there
are
a
lot
of
people
in
the
council
chambers
tonight
could
I
see
a
show
of
hands
of
those
who
are
here
to
speak
in
favor
of
this
funding.
A
Okay,
I
think
there's
time
for
everyone
to
have
a
chance
that
wants
to
speak
and
although
it
isn't
a
public
hearing,
I
would
like
to
let
people
have
their
opportunity
to
speak
in
favor
or
against
this,
and
so
please
come
up
one
at
a
time
and
state
your
name
into
the
microphone
for
the
record
and
say
your
piece.
Please
try
to
keep
it
brief
and
don't
unnecessarily
repeat
what
others
have
said
so
just
take
your
turns.
P
Mayor
and
council
I
was
hoping
there
was
some
middle
ground
like
those
of
us
who
are
struggling
to
decide
which
way
we
should
vote.
I've
talked
to
a
couple
of
the
folks
on
the
council
and
they
were
generous
with
their
time
and
shared
their
opinions.
I
got
to
sit
down
and
one
of
the
Friends
of
the
goss's
office
and
he
spent
a
nice
amount
of
time.
Telling
me
where
they're
at
and
so
with
that
said,
is
sir.
P
What
I
hear
is
much
what
I
see
on
Facebook,
the
overwhelming
majority
of
people
say
fix
the
bottles,
I
appreciate
mayor
what
you
said
earlier,
because
I
think
that
fits
everybody,
including
myself,
who
support
many
of
the
local
community
event,
things
like
Boys
and
Girls
Club
and
like
Salvation
Army,
and
all
that
with
that
said,
probably
half
of
the
things
you
guys
do
I
disagree
with,
but
that,
like
mayor,
said
that
doesn't
mean
you're
wrong.
It's
just
that
I
don't
have
to
agree
with
what
you
said,
I'd
like
to
share
just
a
couple
things.
P
What
I
hear
from
that
group
who
opposes
it
is
I
wish
we
could
see
a
business
plan
and
that
group
is
retired
business.
Folks,
much
like
myself
when
I
asked
for
a
business
plan,
I
was
told
visually
that
we've
got
the
plan.
I
would
suggest
you
we
take
the
plan
and
put
it
to
paper.
It
seems
like
it
should
be
relatively
easy.
P
We
know
the
purchase
price,
we
should
know
what
utilities
are
we
know
what
insurance
are.
We
know
if
there's
going
to
be
zero
taxes
or
if
there
will
be
taxes,
we
can
estimate
what
the
least
for
the
kitchen
and
restaurant
will
be.
We
should
know
what
the
general
maintenance
costs
are,
or
we
can
take
a
guess
at
it.
We
talked
about
office,
rental
and
there's
already
something
there.
We
should
be
able
to
fill
out
the
income
revenue
side
of
a
business
plan.
We
also
know
some
of
the
things.
P
I
would
hope
that
are
going
to
be
on
the
expense
side.
We
should
have
an
idea
of
how
much
labor
we're
going
to
pay
and
how
much
volunteers
they're
going
to
be
to
to
help
support
the
facility
we
should
know
if
I
heard
the
roof
is
patched,
but
maybe
in
five
10
years
or
15.
It
needs
to
be
fixed
when
I
went
to
the
historical
sites
on
the
internet.
P
I
found
that
a
building
a
hundred
years
old
should
have
the
masonry
and
brickwork
looked
at
it's
about
that
time,
where
it
needs
to
be
done
and
I
would
think
these
costs
would
be
relatively
easy
to
get.
They
might
be
high,
but
I'm,
not
necessarily
saying
that's
a
problem,
but
we
should
know
if
the
if
the
brick
needs
to
be
redone
and
it's
a
hundred
thousand
or
two
hundred
B
whatever
it
is.
The
folks
here
who
are
for
this
we're
not
going
to
stop
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars.
P
I
went
and
looked
for
grants
and
again
I
got
time
to
do
that.
Now
in
my
life
and
I
went
to
the
South
Dakota
State
Historic
Preservation,
they
got
an
office
down
in
Pierre
I,
looked
at
grants
from
national
trust
preservation,
Jonathan
ferrite
fund,
Andrew,
Mellon,
the
getting
fund
foundation
there's
a
lot
out
there.
P
The
other
thing
I
did
I
looked
at
books
that
are
available
and
I
haven't,
purchased
one
on
how
to
make
these
kinds
of
things
that
may
financially
not
look
like
a
good
business
decision,
but
you're
doing
it
for
a
community
effort.
There's
books
out
there
on
how
to
sell
it
and
how
to
fund
it.
I
looked
there's
some
grant.
It's
called
grantsmanship
training,
it's
all
over
the
US,
it's
going
to
be
in
Minneapolis
in
September.
P
A
C
My
name
is
David
wristlet.
My
family
has
lived
on
Lake
Camp
Asaka
for
68
years.
I
would
like
to
see
this
go
skiel
go
through
as
long
as
you
don't
take
it
from
other
projects.
You
guys
have
been
backpedaling
on
a
bike
path
on
the
west
side
of
the
lake
for
20
years.
If
you
don't
take
the
money
from
the
bike
path,
go
ahead
and
do
what
you
want
with
the
gaas.
Thank
you
thank.
G
We
as
a
family
are
members
of
I,
see
Church
the
prairie
lakes,
Wellness
Center,
cattail
crossings,
Golf
Course,
the
Aquatic
Center,
the
bramble
Park
Zoo,
and,
of
course,
thanks
to
our
daughter,
we
cannot
go
more
than
two
weeks
without
visiting
our
incredible
library.
Of
course,
we
have
been
very
fortunate
and
recognized
the
importance
of
giving
back
through
our
participation
in
area,
service
clubs
and
boards,
as
well
as
financially
through
bright,
vital
programs
such
as
the
Watertown
area,
United
Way,
the
community
foundation.
G
The
Boys
and
Girls
Club
joy,
joy,
ranch
and
other
nonprofits
as
mayor
Karen
shared
at
the
last
public
discussion
of
this
issue.
The
numerous
facilities
and
organizations
I
just
mentioned,
along
with
many
others
like
them,
including
the
Goss
Opera
House,
make
up
who
we
are.
This
is
our
community
and,
from
my
perspective,
we
are
unique.
We
do
not
settle.
We
expect
world-class
facilities
and
exceptional
opportunities
for
entertainment
and
culture,
recreation,
industry
and
education.
G
In
return,
we
attract
outstanding
employers,
employees,
educational
facilities
and
engaged
community
members
who
generously
give
back
with
their
time
and
invest
in
the
vitality
of
our
community.
It
has
been
made
clear
that
action
must
be
taken
or
the
gas
Opera
House
will
go
dark
while
I
see
no
shame
in
trying
and
not
succeeding.
It
would
be
wrong
to
not
support
the
Friends
of
the
gaas
in
their
pursuit
to
build
a
stronger
water
town
for
everyone.
G
The
arts,
the
theater,
the
educational
programs
and
the
exhibits
that
the
Gaussian
hosts
I
see
endless
possibilities
for
our
children
to
journey
through
one
of
the
many
traveling
National
Geographic
exhibits,
innovate
and
explore,
while
touring
through
a
science
workshop
offered
through
children's
museums
or
simply
experience
the
acoustics
of
a
symphony
plane
at
the
gaas.
These
are
remarkable
experiences.
Our
community
and
especially
our
children,
deserve
just
recently
with
the
help
of
a
small
group
of
individuals
and
with
the
support
from
Mayor
Karen
and
the
chamber
of
commerce.
G
We
have
created
a
new
young
professionals
group
excite
2040,
to
support
water
towns,
continuing
development.
This
group
will
focus
on
attracting
and
retaining
young
professionals
and
will
include
outreach
such
as
hosting
tours
of
Watertown
to
prospective
employees
during
the
interview
process
to
showcase
just
what
Watertown
has
to
offer.
In
fact,
our
kickoff
event
in
May
will
be
an
amazing
race
through
water
towns,
thriving
downtown
with,
of
course,
a
stop
at
the
gasa
Opera
House.
G
As
you
know,
we
need
motivated
young
professionals
to
join
our
growing
business
and
community
and
when
they
arrive,
we
need
to
offer
them
and
their
family
something
more
if
they
are
to
stay
and
become
future
business
and
community
leaders
I.
Ask
that
you
vote
to
support
the
Friends
of
the
goths
in
their
endeavor
to
create
an
even
more
vibrant
water
town
for
all.
Thank
you
for
your
time
and
consideration.
Thank
you.
A
N
Good
evening,
council,
Dianna,
Ford,
I
I
think
the
community
in
a
couple
of
visionary
endeavors
through
the
h2o
20
in
the
shret
in
downtown
Watertown,
spoke
to
this
issue
indirectly
in
saying
that
what
they
believed,
one
of
the
things
Watertown
really
needed
was
a
vibrant
downtown.
This
is
our
chance
to
follow
through.
On
that
vision,
a
lot
of
people
put
a
lot
of
time
thought
energy
into
that
project.
Those
two
projects
everyone
was
invited
to
participate.
N
N
Outreaches
I
hope
that
you
will
think
about
the
time
and
energy
those
people
put
into
that
and
the
statements
that
they
made
as
a
result
of
those
several
several
meetings.
I
support
your
contribution
to
the
gasps
and
I
am
personally
hoping
that
the
city
is
willing
to
accept
that
risk,
because,
truly
through
those
two
community
activities,
the
community
has
spoken
about
what
their
desires
and
what
their
dreams
are
for
downtown
Watertown.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
A
Q
Is
this?
Yes,
my
name
is
Connie
Swarthout.
My
family
goes
back
to
Watertown
from
before
it
was
a
state.
My
grandmother
was
born
here
in
1884
and
I
grew
up
here.
My
mother
grew
up
here.
Loads
of
cousins
grew
up
here,
I
participated
in
the
Shred,
I
had
just
permanently
moved
back
to
Watertown
in
the
fall
of
2014
and
I.
Think
the
Charette
was
like
three
weeks
later
or
a
month
later,.
Q
One
of
the
things
that
happened
at
the
Charette
in
I,
don't
think
most
of
you
were
on
the
city
council
back
then
was
we
saw
examples
of
cities
that
have
thrived
by
investing
money
into
their
downtown's
Brookings
Aspen
Rapid
City.
All
of
these
that
have
done
things
to
attract
people
to
come
downtown,
not
just
to
go
to
save
in
teks
or
the
homecoming
parade
or
this
type
of
thing,
but
to
come
downtown
because
there's
things
to
do
there,
we
talked
about
building
a
park
downtown.
We
talked
about
many
things.
Q
You
actually
I,
believe
the
council
brought
in
the
gentleman
from
Brainerd
who
is
who
actually
helped
develop,
Brainerd
and
I.
Think
is
kicking
himself
and
he
gave
statistics
though,
as
to
how
much
per
square
foot
a
building
downtown
gives
that
over
by
square
foot
a
Menards
or
a
Walmart,
it's
unbelievable.
Q
They
had
talked
about
hiring
that
guy
to
do
some
more
work.
I,
don't
think
that
happened
and
I.
This
is
a
chance.
I,
remember
Watertown!
When
it
was,
you
wanted
to
be
downtown,
I,
see
malls
dying
everywhere
and
not
just
here,
but
everywhere
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
just
the
internet
shopping.
You
have
to
have
something
that
attracts
people
and
I
agree.
So
much.
We
can
build
more
schools
and
I
have
nothing
against
these.
We
can
build
the
rec
center.
We
can
do
all
of
that.
Q
But
what
is
there
for
the
young
professional
to
move
to
Watertown?
It
seems
to
me
most
of
we're
looking
for
housing,
because
so
much
of
our
and
and
it's
not
good
or
bad,
but
so
much
of
our
housing
is
so
much
of
our
work.
New
workforce
is
manufacturing
and
not
that
they
wouldn't
love
the
downtown,
but
if
we
want
to
attract
and
keep
good
people
like
I'm,
sorry
I
missed
your
name.
Q
We
need
to
have
more.
We
need
to
have
something
we
need
to
have
more
functions,
downtown
and
the
gas
is
the
perfect
place
to
start
it.
It
seems
to
me
to
be
a
win-win
situation,
I'm
sure
more
than
willing
to
donate
money
if
they
get
this
I'd
be
one
person
that
would
support
the
gas
foundation
and
so
I'm
guessing
I'm,
not
the
only
one.
Thank
you
for
your
time.
Thank
you.
O
Well,
I
did
not
come
prepared
to
make
a
closing
statement
because
Brad
Johnson
was
going
to
do
that
and,
unfortunately
I
don't
know
where
he
is
and
I'm
quite
honest,
I'm
worried
because
he
was
intended
to
be
here
and
I.
Don't
know
what
happened
to
him.
The
only
a
closing
statement
I
could
make
is
once
again.
This
is
not
about
bailing
out
a
business.
This
is
not
about
giving
a
bunch
of
money
to
some
business
that
wasn't
able
to
make
it.
O
A
R
It's
certainly
in
our
thoughts
and
I
think
it's
a
coming
down
from
that,
but
also
we
talked
about
what's
going
to
happen
with
downtown,
because
that
was
intended
to
be
vibrant.
So
the
City
Council
voted
to
put
in
Street
alleys,
and
we
took
care
of
the
parking
lots
and
we
spruced
up
an
awful
lot
of
things,
I
think
because
we
believe
the
community
wanted.
It
personally
I
believe
that
the
community
I've
heard
lots
of
people
say
to
me.
You
know
we
really
want
you
to
keep
the
goss,
but
don't
pay
for
it.
R
You
know
don't
pay
for
it
out
of
our
funds
and
it
it
almost
seems
like
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
me
how
we
can
keep
that
when
these
people
are
putting
thousands
and
thousands
of
dollars
in
and
firstly,
I'd
like
to
thank
you,
people
that
have
done
that
to
keep
that
open,
I.
Think
it's
the
way.
Maybe
the
only
way
that
the
goss
that
the
downtown
can
be
vibrant
I
can
only
imagine
a
bunch
of
two
buildings
down
there
sitting
with
wood,
cardboard
and
plywood
on
the
windows
and
the
doors.
R
F
Has
been
an
item
that
really
came
I
think
out
publicly,
probably
about
mid-march
and
I
think
this
is
an
opportunity
for
our
community,
but
it's
a
it's
a
good
discussion,
just
seeing
the
number
of
people
here
tonight,
seeing
the
amount
of
input
that
I
have
seen
my
today
I'll
be
honestly.
I
almost
didn't
get
to
my
agenda
because
my
phone
and
my
email
was
going
off
the
hook
today
and
it's
been
that
way
for
three
weeks.
F
You
know
the
phone
rings
and
my
wife
does
this.
She
just
you
know
because
that's
the
way
it's
been
and
that's
I
will
tell
you
from
a
council's
perspective.
That's
the
kind
of
input
that
we
want
to
need
to.
Often
we
don't
get
input.
So
whatever
the
outcome
is
tonight,
I
appreciate
you
being
here
and
I
appreciate
that
and
I
also
want
to
piggyback
on
something
that
the
mayor
had
said,
and
that
is
this
isn't
about
right
and
wrong.
This
is
about
what
we
believe
in
and
in
Chuck
and
Doug
and
and
Brad.
F
You
know
I
commend
you
guys
for
for
taking
a
step
you
did
in
May
of
last
year.
If
you
didn't
take
that
we
probably
wouldn't
be
having
this
discussion,
I
I
commend
Dave
berry
for
doing
it,
seven,
eight,
nine
ten
years
ago.
Whatever
it
is,
we
wouldn't
have
this
discussion
one
way
or
the
other,
but
the
point
is
we
need
to
be
respectful
of
people.
I've
read
some
of
the
things
on
Facebook
and
other
places
that,
frankly,
are
they're
inappropriate.
They
aren't
correct
in
regards
to
the
efforts
that
you
guys
have
put
forward.
F
K
You
I
had
to
laugh
when
I
saw
bills
up
key
walk
in
the
room
tonight,
because
bill
was
my
debate.
Teacher
my
freshman
year
in
high
school.
Regrettably,
the
only
year
I
debated
but
I,
dare
say,
I've
had
more
debate
in
the
last
month
than
I've
had
that
freshman
year.
So
to
echo
some
of
Mike's
comments,
I
was
on
the
phone
literally
all
it
seemed
like
and
again
it
was
good
because
a
lot
of
it
was
really
was
rational.
There's
a
lot
of
good
debate.
I
had
pros
and
cons.
Why
I
like
to
I?
K
Don't
like
it
I
think
a
lot
of
what
I
saw
was
people
who
are
really
against
it
was
based
on
false
information
or
misunderstood
information.
Yeah
we're
not
gonna
buy
the
building.
The
money
doesn't
go
in
somebody's
pocket,
I
think
once
we
got
that
cleared
up,
then
you
get
down
to
the
real
issues.
Is
this
something
we
want
to
do
as
a
community?
So
a
good
arguments
on
both
side
and
I
also
want
to
say,
thanks
to
everybody
that
participated
in
with
that
kana,
you
mentioned.
The
presentation
that
was
here
was
called
strong
towns.
K
One
of
the
key
points,
the
first
one
on
their
list
was:
it
relies
on
small
incremental
investments
and
in
parentheses,
little
bets
and
that's
why
I
look
at
this
one,
because
there
are
no
guarantees.
This
is
gonna
work.
This
is
a
little
bet.
It's
a
that's
a
lot
of
money
in
regards
to
the
whole
budget
that
may
be
not
sold,
but
I'd.
Look
at
$150,000
there's
a
lot
of
money,
but
it's
a
bet
that
we're
looking
to
take
but
again
following
their
approach,
which
I
think
had
a
lot
of
credibility
with
me.
K
It
fits
that
description,
h2o
came
up
and
one
of
the
key
objectives
of
the
h2o
tool
process
was
safe
and
attractive.
Neighborhoods
in
the
first
bullet,
I
think
the
second
bullet
under
that
was
to
transform
Uptown
into
a
vibrant
city
center,
while
preserving
its
historic
appeal.
So
my
concern
with
the
goss
going
dark
is
that
we're
relying
on
that
goss
I?
K
But
there's
the
Goss
and
I
point
that
out
again
because
I
think
the
Goss
really
has
taken
root
here
and,
as
you
can
tell
and
I've
been
a
supporter
all
along
on
this.
Although
early
on
I
really
did
debate
hard
about
it,
but
my
support
has
increased.
The
downtown
Charette
was
talked
about,
incidentally,
held
at
the
Goss.
K
K
K
L
Schurman
I've
got
a
few
questions
of
you.
Okay,
first
of
all,
what
is
okay
I
understand
that
there's
a
threat
of
foreclosure
hanging
over
our
heads
here
relative
to
that
building
based
upon
who's,
got
the
debt
against
it
or
who's
got
the
financing
for
it.
I
I,
guess:
I'm
I'm
questioning
the
urgency
as
far
as
why
we
need
to
be
taking
an
action
as
quickly
as
as
we're
being
asked
to
because
I
I
know
from
experience
that
I
mean
foreclosures
take
a
long
time.
I
mean
it's
not
something
that
happens
overnight.
O
We
are
looking
at
needing
to
make
a
decision
by
the
end
of
April
as
to
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
continue
and,
quite
frankly,
we're
not
in
a
position
of
being
able
to
try
to
continue
to
operate
the
restaurant
and
in
the
building,
and
so
at
this
point,
Doug,
sharp
and
Brad
Johnson
are
the
two
people
that
hold
the
LLC
for
the
restaurant
and
they've
indicated
that
they
are
not
going
to
continue
to
move
forward
unless
the
foundation
owns
the
building
and
if
we
close
the
restaurant,
we
close
the
building.
It's
quite
that
simple.
L
Also
I
know
there's
a
number
of
moving
pieces
behind
the
scenes
here.
As
far
as
the
restructuring
that
is
being
done
to
try
to
make
this
work,
I
mean.
Do
we
have
assurance
from
the
lenders
that
everything
is
falling
into
place,
that
there
will
be
clear
title
to
this
building
if
we
approved
these
requests?
Yes,.
L
O
L
O
L
I
appreciate
the
efforts
that
have
been
ongoing
for
this
past
year
on
the
part
of
those
that
have
kept
the
the
place
going,
but
I
guess
that's
that's!
Where
I'm
leading
with
my
question.
These
plans
have
been
in
the
works
for
I
mean
close
to
a
year
as
I
understand
it
and
I
realized.
You
just
got
your
501
C
3
designation,
granted
by
the
IRS
back
in
February,
but
but
that's
been
a
long-term
process
that
I
guess.
What
frustrates
me
is
that
we
as
a
council
that
there
were
conversations
going
off
the
past
year.
L
Why
were
we
as
a
council
not
brought
into
the
loop
on
this
until
a
month
ago?
I
mean
we're
we're
criticized
quite
often
as
a
council
for
making
decisions
too
quickly,
and
here
we
are
trying
to
ask
some
hard
questions
and
yet
we're
we
didn't
get
brought
into
the
loop
on
this
we're
the
ones
that
make
the
ultimate
decision
here
and
we
didn't
get
brought
into
the
loop
on
this
until
within
just
the
past
month
and
that's
been
frustrating
for
me
as
a
council
member.
So
I
guess
I'd
like
some
response
to
that
dr.
sure.
L
O
I'm
not
sure
what
it
is
you're
looking
for
as
far
as
being
brought
into
the
loop,
we
didn't
have
all
the
pieces
fall
into
place
until
the
last
two
months.
We
did
not
meet
with
the
Watertown
Community
Foundation
until
just
a
month
ago,
and
we
didn't
know
if
they
were
going
to
be
willing
to
commit
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
without
their
commitment
on
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars.
L
O
Because
it's
actually,
yes-
and
you
know
we
have
done
a
lot
of
fundraising
over
the
last
year-
trying
to
raise
money.
So
we
can
keep
the
door
open,
but
we've
had
significant
donors
say
that
yes,
I,
want
to
make
a
contribution
to
keep
the
Opera
Hall
open,
but
I'll
do
that
when
I
know
that
it's
owned
by
the
foundation,
so
we
have
several
people
who
have
indicated
and
some
of
them
just
as
recently
as
Saturday
night
at
the
bash
said
you
know
you
get
this
foundation
owned
in
the
building.
O
L
If
you
could,
if
I
could
bounce
it
off
you
I'm
referencing,
you
you
sent
out
an
a
mass
email
yesterday
to
a
charity,
luncheon
group
that
meets
once
a
month
that
that
councilman,
Roby
and
Danforth
myself
have
attended
and
I
guess
one
and
you
invited
people
to
attend
tonight,
and
you
know
great
I
appreciate
that,
but
you
you
did
catch
my
attention
with
one
of
your
final
comments,
I'm
going
to
quote
from
her
email
now
Brad.
L
S
This
is
the
primary
effort,
you
know,
if
you
say
no,
we're
not
going
to
quit,
it
will
take
longer
and
we
will
work
how
we
can
to
get
there.
I,
don't
know
that
total
path,
we're
on
a
timeframe
to
try
to
get
things
done,
and
this
is
our
best
and
easiest
path,
and
you
know
we're
hoping
that
tonight.
You'll
say
yes,
because
this
is
about
saving
a
theater.
It's
about
saving
heritage
of
Watertown.
S
This
is
the
a
simple
way
of
asking
you
to
just
step
up
and
help
downtown
water
tone
and
beyond
that,
I,
don't
know
what
else
to
say:
we've
we've
we've
invested
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
in
the
last
year
and
it's
been
a
hard
road.
This
is
going
to
continue
to
be
a
hard
road
and
we're
just
asking
for
some
help.
Just
a
little
bit.
F
F
They
strongly
oppose
the
use
of
public
funding
for
it
and
that
changes.
If
you
can
take
the
bar
restaurant
out
of
there,
I
will
tell
you
that
I'm
getting
that
message
sent
to
me
loud
and
clear.
If
the
bar
restaurants,
not
there
their
acceptance
of
public
funding
changes,
that
is
a
hurdle
that
we
we
have
on
this
issue.
I
cannot
ignore.
Prior
to
today,
I
can't
ignore
the
the
input
that
I
have
has
received
throughout
this
community
and
overwhelmingly
it
is
in
opposition.
F
Today
is
the
first
time
I've
received
anything
prior
than
I
had
to
people
contact
me
prior
to
today,
in
favor
of
this
today,
I
think
I
probably
had
about
six
or
seven
that
were
in
favor,
but
I
probably
had
four
or
five
that
knew
this
was
coming
tonight
and
said
no,
so
it
is
a
strong
thing.
We
talked
Friday
I.
Think
the
unfortunate
thing
is
this
has
become
somewhat
of
a
divisive
thing
within
the
community.
We
got
to
find
a
way
to
make
it
a
positive
thing.
F
F
You
know
I'm
asked
to
listen
to
the
volumes
of
people
that
it
that
were
part
of
the
h2o
20
I'm
asked
to
listen
to
the
people,
all
the
people
that
took
part
in
the
Charette,
but
now
I'm
being
asked
to
ignore
all
the
people
that
are
opposing
this
thing
that
I've
heard
from,
and
you
can't
have
it
both
ways.
We
can't
have
it
both
ways
we
have
to
listen.
I
would
love
nothing
more
than
to
see
more
information
exchanged,
whether
you
feel
it's
relevant
or
not.
F
I
am
getting
asked
all
kinds
of
questions
from
the
people
that
are
opposing
this,
actually,
even
quite
a
number
of
people
that
are
for
it
that
I
can't
answer
and
I
think
we
need
to
be
able
to
answer
some
of
those
questions.
I
think
mr.
eilers
was
here
and
said,
put
it
in
writing
and
I
kept
I
have
heard
that
a
hundred
times
about
a
business
plan,
and
in
that
goes
floor,
where
it
talks
about
management
and
talks
about
a
lot
of
different
things
that
would
all
be
included
in
a
business
plan.
F
Would
like
to
find
a
way
to
make
this
thing
succeed
and
see
what
our
other
options
are,
so
that
we,
if
this
thing
turns
out
to
be
a
win,
lose
we
all
lose
if
it's
other
win,
win
or
lose
lose
then
at
least
we're
bringing
people
together,
but
if
it's
perceived
as
a
win
lose
which
right
now,
based
on
the
volume
of
people
that
I'm
hearing
from
it's
not
going
to
be
supported
by
that
part
of
the
public
and
I.
Think
that
would
be
really
really
unfortunate.
F
Taking
place
and
I
want
to
see
us
find
something
that
turns
this
from
divisive,
which
it
has
been
into
something
that's
positive
and
can
be
used
for
in
our
community.
I
I
can't
ignore
the
many
many
people
that
have
taken
the
time
to
communicate
to
me
about
their
opposition
to
this,
but
when
you
throw
out
some
alternates
to
them
alternatives
to
them,
it's
it's
surprising
that
a
vast
majority
of
them
say
I
could
support
that.
That's
what
I
would
like
to
see
us
explore.
A
T
T
Interestingly
I've
been
more
5050,
and
maybe
it's
because
words
it's
in
word
see
I'm,
not
sure
you
know
if
my
reaction
to
this
has
been
different
than
other
people's,
and
my
experience
has
been
just
like
Don's
in
the
sense
that
what
a
little
bit
more
education
about
this
in
terms
of
the
restaurant
and
those
types
of
things,
people
have
a
different
approach
or
they
start
to
have
a
different
conversation
with
me,
which
is
what
you've
experienced
too,
but
it
isn't
an
all-or-nothing
with
them.
It's
more
of
oh
I.
T
Wasn't
aware
of
that.
Thank
you
for
sharing
that
with
me
and
I
guess,
I
was
boy.
I
can
go
back
as
far
as
I
can
remember,
being
involved
in
downtown
even
prior
to
getting
on.
The
council
was
on
the
committee
that
organized
the
Charette
have
been
on
the
urban
renewal
board.
I
can
go
on
and
on
about
what
has
been
taking
place
down
there,
one
with
the
restaurant
situation.
T
Once
we
were
able
to
clarify
that.
That
is
a
separate
issue
from
all
of
that.
I
think
that
anything
if
we
have
a
new
restaurant,
whoever
opens
it
to
address
all
the
other
restaurant
owners
who
are
concerned
about
that.
We've
had
numerous
restaurants,
open,
downtown
and
I
haven't
seen
the
successful
you
know,
I'll
be
quite
us
when
Harry's
open,
Dempsey's
didn't
close.
You
know
right.
T
Those
of
you
in
economic
development
know
that
if
somebody
builds
a
successful
convenience
store
in
the
corner
of
one
intersection
in
five
years,
there
will
be
four
successful
convenience
stores
on
that
intersection.
You
know
the
old
saying
the
rising
tide
lifts
all
boats,
the
more
traffic
we
have
downtown
the
more
people.
We
have
downtown
the
more
activities
we
have
downtown
the
more
it
benefits
every
single
one
of
you
in
the
audience,
and
every
single
one
of
you
who
has
a
stake
in
downtown
and
I
would
hope.
T
T
They
always
say
find
a
place.
You
love
that
needs
you,
okay,
I've,
seen
that
in
other
times,
in
other
places
and
I
guess:
I
love
the
gaas,
I,
love,
downtown
and
I
think
it
needs
us
right
now,
so
you
know
think
about
that
find
a
place.
You
love
that
needs
you
and
so
I
believe
that
we
don't
have
to
make
this
a
divisive
situation.
I
believe
that
media
plays
a
big
part
in
some
of
that
divisive,
Ness
and
I'm.
T
Glad
Mike
addressed
some
of
the
ugly
things
that
came
out
of
some
of
those
diatribes
on
Facebook,
but
I
want
to
thank
the
people
who
have
taken
the
time
to
put
out
good
information.
I
appreciate
all
of
the
other
opportunities
that
we
have
here.
As
far
as
fundraising
grants
all
of
those
things,
I
don't
disagree.
T
In
fact,
I
was
one
who
also
asked
for
a
business
plan
and
a
marketing
plan
I
actually
wanted
a
marketing
plan
as
well
and
I
see
now
you
know
where
you're
coming
from
and
what
you're
thinking
what
I've
liked
those
a
little
sooner
yes
do.
I
have
them
no,
but
does
that
change
my
feelings
about
the
Goss
and
my
support
for
it?
It
does
not.
T
Have
you
ever
noticed
that
it
just
builds
out
from
all
the
nice
things
that
have
been
done
down
there
when
the
Goss
and
Dave's
building
started
building
everybody
kind
of
spread
out
from
that
and
started
saying?
Oh
I
can
do
this
to
my
building
and
I
can
do
that
to
my
building
and
so
I
guess
I
think
you
all
know
where
I
stand
on
this
I
hope
by
my
comments.
But
let's
remember
find
a
place.
You
love
that
needs
you.
The
Gauss
needs
us
a
rising
tide
lifts
all
boats.
T
Any
increase
of
traffic
is
going
to
help
everyone
downtown
and
even
the
people
who
say
they're
against
this
still
want
the
Gauss.
So
you
can't
have
both
things.
So
you
know
we
have
to
decide
what
we
want
to
do
so,
and
I
have
young
family.
That
I
am
very
glad
moved
back
to
Watertown
and
they
spend
a
lot
of
time
downtown
and
frequent
all
of
the
businesses
down
there
and
they
would
like
nothing
better
than
to
see
more
entertainment
and
things
like
that
and
I
think.
The
glass
is
the
perfect
opportunity
for
that.
I'm
Saurus.
D
D
S
S
The
bottom
line
is
with
with
the
structural
analysis
we
privately
paid
to
go
through
the
building,
because
we
don't
want
to
take
on
a
building
that
is
not
safe
and
what
we've
discovered
is
that
there's
one
issue
which
is
being
addressed
right
now:
they're
working
on
it
we're
gonna
have
an
architect,
a
structural
engineer
who
signs
off
on
it
and
and
we
will
not
accept
the
building.
We
don't
want
your
money
going
towards
this
unless
that
is,
is
taken
care
of.
So
there's
one
issue
beyond
that.
S
S
S
Get
David
Barry
is
taking
care
of
the
cost
of
the
truss.
We
told
him
that
that's
your
responsibility,
we're
not
going
to
take
on
this
building
without
you,
repairing
that,
and
he
has
agreed
to
that.
He
has
a
construction
company
and
they're
working
on
it,
the
architect
that
we
hired
TSP
architects.
We
told
them
you've
got
to
sign
off
on
this.
We
won't
take
it
unless
you
sign
off
on
it
and
they
were
working
together
right
now
to
fix
that
issue,
so
that
will
be
taken
care
of
okay.
D
S
I
didn't
ready,
that's
that's
between
David,
berry
and
and
reliable
and
and
the
SBA
and
that's
part
of
the
contingency
that
you
were
showing
is
that
no
money
is
going
to
go
to
this
unless
he
figures
out
how
to
get
that
money
transferred
over
somewhere
else.
So
we're
not
taking
on
any
of
that
the
city's
not
taking
on
any
that's
just
he's
got
to
deal
with
that
you're.
S
S
If
you,
if
you
were
willing
to
move
1
million
dollars
of
debt
off
of
your
property
off
of
this
property
and
put
it
on
one
of
your
personal
properties
to
give
a
gift
to
water
tone,
that's
what
David
Barry
is
doing
and
and
and
so
he's
giving
a
gift
to
water
tone.
He's
already
invested
three
million-plus
into
this
more
than
that
and
for
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
he's
going
to
do
a
million-dollar
gift.
So
if
anybody
else
came
in
and
said,
I
want
to
give
you
a
million-dollar
gift.
S
L
S
No,
no,
it's
a
it's
a
million
there's
about
a
million
and
a
half
debt
out
there,
of
which
he's
gonna
take
at
least
a
million
onto
his
personal
property.
Talk
to
him
this
morning,
he's
struggling
with
that
trying
trying
to
come
up
with
this
concept
is
why
can't
water
town
be
more
of
brave,
embracing.
S
When
somebody
from
outside
of
Watertown
has
come
and
done
such
a
wonderful
thing
for
our
community,
and
why
do
we
make
this
so
hard
to
come
up
with
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
here
or
there,
because
he's
still
gonna
take
over
me
a
million
dollars
on
his
personal
debt
for
a
gift?
That's
that's
gonna,
be
water
towns,
treasure
I'm,.
L
S
F
You
Brad
back
to
the
report
here
and
I'm.
Not
sure
was
this
with
Clark
engineering
Bizet
from
people
from
town
here
that
did
it.
They
were
from
Sioux
Falls,
Sioux
Falls.
You
know
as
I
read
through
that,
not
being
an
engineer
it
parts
of
it
scared
the
heck
out
of
me
quite
frankly,
and
as
I
get
into
page
seven
on
it.
It
talks
about
the
roof
framing
and
I'm.
F
Me
read
it
please,
okay,
thank
you.
It
talks
about
repair,
that's
needed
to
prevent
failure
of
the
roof
system.
It
says
the
girder
trusses
are
not
currently
distributing
roof
loading
as
designed
the
girder
trusses
must
be
reinforced
and
or
replaced
complete.
Failure
of
a
girder
trust
would
likely
result
in
the
catastrophic
failure
of
the
structure
and
fattest
distrusts
were
working.
That's
the
one.
So
what
so
every
other
truss?
What
is
is
acceptable
because
he's
talking
about
the
whole
load
of
the
roof
right,
not
the
one
trust
right.
S
We've
we've
gone
through
that
you
know
with
the
engineers
or
engineers,
so
we've
got
Clark
engineering
and
we
have
TSP
architects
and
TSP
at
at
halt
with
TSP
is
also
a
structural
engineer
and
he's
the
guy.
That's
gonna,
sign
off
on
this,
and
we
told
him
he
said
you
know
from
an
insurance
standpoint.
We
have
to
have
you
signing
off
on
this,
because
otherwise
we
can't
go
out
and
get
an
insurance
I,
don't
want
any
of
your
money.
S
That
was
built
back
in
the
eighteen
eighteen
eighties
I
mean
I've
got
one
I've
got
one
of
the
oldest
buildings
in
Watertown
and
I
can
go
in
there
and
I
can
find
all
kinds
of
things,
but
you
fix
them
and
and-
and
we
believe
in
the
engineers
we
believe
in
what
what
tad
halt
and
TSP
are
saying
and
we're
gonna
believe
in
them
and
and
like
we've
said,
is
there
any
money
that
you
donate
is
contingent
upon
that
being
acceptable?
We
you
know,
that's
why
we
want
to
get
lati
in
the
building.
You.
S
S
So
they
want
to
be
part
of
this.
They
want
to
make
this
building
a
teaching
tool.
We
haven't
gotten
into
specifics.
We
don't
own
the
building.
So
until
we
own
the
building
as
a
community,
which
is
what
this
is,
is
the
foundation
it's
a
community,
and
so
once
we
get
it
then
I
mean
Mike.
Danforth
is
Oliver,
you
know
Mike
you,
you
were
there
with
Mike
cart
knee
you
know,
I
mean
he
yeah
about
Friday
I
mean
he
wants
you
to
I
mean
he
told
you.
C
S
That
you
know
they
want
to
be
part
of
it.
They
want
to
do
everything
they
can
to
help,
and
that's
part
of
this
whole
picture
is
just
making
things
happen
because
I
have,
none
of
us
have
certainty
to
anything.
I've
spent
the
last
year
having
no
idea
what
I
just
got
myself
into,
but
but
I
mean
I'll,
be
here,
because
I
believe
in
that
building
sure.
D
H
D
Me
finish:
I've
heard
the
arguments
for
and
against.
You
know,
but
bottom
line
its
taxpayer
money
one
way
or
another.
So
my
personal
opinion
is
that
I
want
to
get
as
much
information
so
that
we
can
make
informed
decision
based
on
what
the
taxpayers
are.
Looking
for,
the
conversation
Mike
had
with
his
people
I've
had
the
same
conversations.
I've
had
people
in
favor
of
it
and
I
understand
that
I've
had
people
against
it.
I
understand
that
too
I'm
not
I'm,
not
here,
to
dictate
what
people's
opinions
are
I'm
here
to
listen
to
what
they
are.
D
Looking
for,
the
comment
I
have
that
concerns
me.
Is
he
closed
the
restaurant?
He
closed
the
building
and
we
just
made
a
comment
that
the
restaurant
isn't
part
of
the
building.
So
but
Chuck
you
did
say:
if
we
don't
do
this,
we
closed
the
restaurant
closed.
The
building
you
came
in
and
I
apologize.
Do
you
want
here,
but
you're
saying
they're
gonna
keep
going
so
I'm
just
trying.
D
S
S
You
know
I've
been
part
of
the
restaurant
this
last
year,
just
trying
to
make
sure
that
all
the
events
didn't
crash
down
well
they're
on
to
do
that
this
year,
I'm
I'm
not
going
to
continue
to
do
that,
Doug
sharps,
not
going
to
continue
to
do
that.
We've
spent
a
lot
of
money
out
of
our
pocket
to
get
us
to
this
point.
None
none
of
us
have
made
any
money
at
all.
In
fact,
I
can
tell
you
what
we're
saying.
S
A
wonderful
building
downtown-
and
you
know,
can't
answer
a
lot
of
the
detailed
questions
because
I
don't
know
all
I
know.
Is
that
there's
a
group
of
us
that
really
want
to
make
this
happen
and
make
this
an
anchor
of
downtown,
and
we
don't
know
the
path
we
don't
know
how
we're
gonna
get
there.
We
got
an
idea,
but
there's
a
lot
of
twisting
in
the
trail
yeah.
D
D
S
I'm
sure
you
didn't
either
and
I've
gotten
so
many
Pat's
on
the
back
and
I
said
well,
it's
it's
not
Pat's
on
the
back.
I
need
I
need
support.
Yeah
I
need
financial
support.
That
foundation
needs
financial
support.
We
need
people
to
step
up
and
say
we
believe
in
what
you
are
doing
and
what
is
important
with
the
Goss
and
we
don't
need
accolades.
We
don't
need
any
of
that.
We
need
financial
support
when.
S
S
S
If
you
don't,
you
guys
could
say
that,
let's,
let's
move
our
money
aside
and
just
put
it
to
the
theater,
so
our
earmark
of
this
three
hundred
thousand
dollar
investment
community
up
foundation
can
be
of
the
first
floor.
You
guys
can
be
on
the
second
floor
and
that
your
investment
is
just
in
the
theater.
That's
what
this
is
about.
It's
just
the
theater.
We
are
saving
a
theater
that
nobody
else
in
South
Dakota
has.
A
S
T
T
T
You
know
we
as
a
city,
invest
in
a
lot
of
other
non
at
organizations
and
not
just
one-time
deals
I'm
talking
about
year
after
year
after
year
after
year,
we
give
money
to
a
lot
of
nonprofit
organizations
and
they
all
benefit
to
the
quality
of
life
here
in
Watertown
and
so
I'm
thinking
about
it.
As
a
one-time
ask
at
this
point
with
the
idea
that
all
the
work
that's
needing
to
be
put
into
it,
whether
its
physical
structure,
marketing,
whatever.
T
T
L
L
S
No,
no,
you
have
no
guarantee
this
isn't
alright,
so
so
in
2007,
David
Barry
spent
two
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
buy
the
gospel
d'ang
and
the
old
bank
building,
which
is
next
door.
So
there's
two
buildings
$250,000
since
that
point
he
put
in
a
four
hundred
thousand
dollar
elevator
a
sprinkler
system
and
and
in
air-conditioned.
O
S
You
know:
I
mean
it's!
It's!
It's
really
a
no-brainer
that
that
liquidation.
You
can
turn
it
into
a
warehouse
with
that
elevator
and
you
could
have
somebody
to
store
stuff
in
that
whole
building
and
generate
enough
rent
per
square
foot
just
to
have
it
as
a
warehouse,
and
you
don't
want
a
warehouse
downtown
just.
T
Didn't
say
that
it
was
I
said
providing
that
this
is
a
one-time
I'm.
Assuming
at
this
point,
this
is
a
one-time
request
coming
to
us
and
I've
said
to
other
people
in
this
conversation.
If
it
come,
you
guys
come
back
again.
We
have
some
different
issues
to
talk
about,
but
at
this
point
right
now
this
is
a
one-time
ask
and
I'm
nobody.
T
You
know
he
said
already.
He
would
write
something
down
if
we
wanted
it
that
we
would
get
$150,000
back.
If
that
makes
people
feel
more
comfortable,
that's
fine!
The
money
that
we
give
to
those
other
organizations
we
don't
have
necessarily
have
cut
and
stone
guarantees
on
some
of
those
as
well.
You
know
I
mean
every
single
one
of
those.
T
We
as
a
city
are
making
a
risk
that
these
are
going
to
be
something
that
we
want
to
invest
in,
so
that
the
quality
of
life
in
Watertown
stays
high
and
I've
supported
all
of
our
contributions
to
those
organizations.
I
sat
on
that
board
several
times
that
made
the
decisions
on
what
kind
of
funding
we
give
to
those
organizations
and
I
guess:
I
keep
going
back
to
that
and
kind
of
pulling
this
whole
big
picture
together,
and
if
somebody
wants
bread
to
put
in
writing
that
we
get
a
hundred.
T
You,
you
said
the
words
so
I'm
gonna
give
it
to
you,
but
if
somebody
wants
the
foundation
to
put
it
in
writing-
and
that's
all
it
takes
for
this
to
get
off
the
ground,
let's
have
that
conversation
about
that.
Getting
150,000
back
but
again,
I
just
feel
that
that
it
would
be
short-sighted
not
to
invest
in
this
project
based
on
all
of
the
other
things
we've
done
downtown
based
on
all
of
the
other
money.
We've
spent
all
of
the
efforts
h2o2.
T
A
T
A
T
K
Guys
we've
been
having
some
long
council
meetings
as
of
late
a
lot
of
issues
that
are
important
issues
in
a
lot
of
different
views.
I
just
say
to
myself
in
the
count,
so
there
are
times
we
get
bogged
down
in
details,
I
mean
I
mean
it's
due
to
genuine
concern.
Genuine
interest.
Think
we've
got
people
that
really
want
to
know
regarding
an
engineering
piece
of
it
all
good
questions.
I
read
both
engineering
reports.
K
A
lot
of
questions
raised
I'm,
not
an
engineer,
I'm,
not
gonna,
try
and
be
one
I
think
that
it
has
to
have
an
engineering
review
as
a
contingency
and
I've
been
told
that
by
a
lot
of
people.
So
if
it
gets
signed
off
by
an
engineer,
we
use
experts
all
the
time.
Okay
I
want
the
contingency
in
there.
So
we
can
debate
that
one
all
night
if
you
want,
but
we're
not
gonna
solve
that
issue.
I
think
we
got
to
get
back
on
track
here
and
what
are
we
looking
to
do
it
and
that
is?
K
R
Would
just
say
that
we're
entering
into
a
really
busy
summer,
hopefully
down
at
the
gloss
again
and
I
sight
out
on
the
sidewalk
areas?
If
that
gauze
is
dark,
there
went
how
many
people
attend
that
downtown
on
Thursday
nights?
Is
it
300
I,
don't
really
know
we
go
down
there
and
listen
to
the
bands.
Have
something
to
eat
down.
There
maybe
go
to
a
store
that
might
be
open.
How
many
dollars
did
that
Thursday
night
generate
and
it's
gonna
be
lights
out.
R
It
sounds
like
now
Brad
says:
well,
we're
gonna
try
to
work
it
out,
but
are
they
gonna?
Have
it
worked
out
in
two
weeks
or
well?
I,
don't
know
when
we're
gonna
have
summer,
but
if,
in
fact
summer
comes
soon,
that's
the
Thursday
night
stuff
that
a
lot
of
us
really
enjoy.
But
where
does
that
all
Center?
It
centers
out
of
the
Gauss
and
put
her
dark
I
assume
that
means
there
won't
be
any
Thursday
nights
for
Watertown
and
there
we
go
down
that
slippery
slope
of
losing
things.
D
S
A
D
A
F
F
S
C
S
But
I
would
say
this
if
you
can't
find
a
way
to
support
a
kiss'
theater
at
this
particular
time.
That's
fine.
We
will
go
and
we
will
try
to
do
things
another
way.
It's
gonna
be
harder,
but
we
don't
want.
We
don't
want
to
make
you
uncomfortable.
I
mean
yeah.
Well,
you
know
that's
part
of
being
on
that
side,
because
I've
been
on
that
side
and
I
know,
and
and
so
that's
why
you
get
paid
the
big
bucks,
and
you
know,
if
you
say
no,
that's
fine.
S
S
K
The
business
plan
questions
fair
questions,
I
get
that.
That's
that's
not
going
to
happen.
What
I
understand
is
that
the
new
board
is
going
to
set
the
direction,
and
this
is
really
kind
of
a
lifeline.
Is
what
we're
looking
at
here
now.
Does
that
mean
the
boss
won't
survive
without
it?
Not
necessarily
there
might
be
other
options
but
again
for
me,
it's
a
commitment
to
downtown
and
and
I've
struggled
with
the
same
issues.
Everybody
else
have
I've
had
the
pros
and
the
cons.
I've
had
a
lot
of
nose.
K
I've
had
a
lot
of
nose
switch
to
okay
after
they
understand
the
scenario,
I've
had
a
lot
of
yes,
as
though
I've
talked
with
a
landowner
downtown,
it
was
a
no
this
morning,
a
very
good
conversation.
The
gentleman
had
very
good
arguments,
but
one
of
them
that
did
influence
me
quite
a
bit.
It
was
a
very
older
gentleman,
who's
owned
the
building
downtown
for
many
many
years
and
he's
been
through
with
the
cycle
he's
a
lot
older
than
me.
K
He's
been
here
and
he's
watched,
downtown,
evolve,
go
up
and
go
down,
and
without
that
commitment
the
city
we
are
I
believe
jeopardizing
the
success
of
our
downtown
momentum.
So
is
there
risk?
Yes,
am
I
willing
to
take
that
risk?
Yes,
I
am
I'm
willing
to
try
it
a
lot
of
good
arguments
against
it.
I
understand
that,
but
if
we're
really
committed
to
downtown
I
want
us
to
do
this
now
the
contingencies
possibly
recoup
in
our
funds,
if
the
place
goes
south
assurances
that
engineering
the
building
is
safe.
K
Okay,
those
are
those
are
the
key
ones
for
me.
We
can
debate
the
reports
all
night.
If
the
engineer
tells
me
it's
good
enough,
I
have
to
go
with
it,
I'm,
not
smart
enough
to
figure
out
otherwise,
so
we'll
use
those
consultants
but
again
I
respect
the
questions
that
are
coming
up,
but
I
think
again
we're
getting
down
in
the
in
the
details.
Where
do
you
want
this
to
blow
up
the
momentum
of
downtown
or
not?
Are.
S
S
E
S
Know
I
mean
the
issue:
is
it
people
have
gotten
caught
up
in
the
restaurant
part
of
it?
This
is
not
about
the
restaurant.
It's
not
about
the
first
floor.
It's
about
the
theater.
There
is
not
a
restaurant
in
Watertown
that
could
support
a
500-seat
130
year
old,
theater
and
and
that's
the
difference
between
any
other
business.
I
mean
there's
a
reason
that
businesses
have
not
succeeded,
trying
to
support
the
weight
of
that
entire
building.
S
You
know
I
know
really
well
from
this
last
year
that
that
at
a
restaurant
bound
stairs
doing
whatever
level
of
business,
it
does
can't
support
the
weight
of
that
theater.
That's
why
we're
creating
the
foundation?
That's
why
we're
asking
you
for
help.
This
is
about
the
phone,
the
theater
and
the
foundation.
It's
not
about
the
restaurant
I.
E
E
A
U
Off
I
am
gonna,
say,
thanks
to
you,
folks,
a
remarkable
work,
all
the
effort,
the
blood,
sweat
tears.
You
put
into
this
thing
to
keep
it
open.
You
know
I've
been
in
in
public
certain
city,
government,
I,
guess
now
for
over
25
years,
and
this
is
truly
one
of
the
hardest
things
I've
had
to
do
absolutely
I
mean
if
I
listen
to
my
to
the
people
that
I've
talked
to
I
have
to
go
along
with,
like
what
Mike
said.
Probably
95%
of
the
people
I've
talked
to
have
said.
U
They
disagree
with
this
that
using
taxpayer
dollars
to
support
this
issue.
I
love
the
facility
I
mean
I've,
been
down
there.
Many
many
times,
I
have
my
wife
and
I
both
enjoy
the
gaas.
We
certainly
enjoy
Thursday
Night
Live
and
all
the
things
that
have
come
about
as
a
result
of
that
I
I
think
there
is
a
tremendous
amount
of
misinformation
and
maybe
lack
of
information
on
that
I'm
not
saying
this
because
you
folks
haven't
tried
to
do
a
good
job,
but
the
reality
is
the
folks
that
I
talked
to
there.
U
There
is
definitely
a
high
degree
of
misinformation
out
in
the
public.
You
know
I
when
I.
One
of
the
things
that
to
me
is
paramount,
is
the
safety
of
the
structure
and
and
I
know
you're
working
hard
towards
it.
I
think
that's
really
really
important,
probably
the
most
important
thing
in
a
decision
whether
or
not
to
support
this
facility.
I
would
certainly
like
to
see.
I
would
actually
like
to
see
a
little
more
time
as
well.
I'm.
Trying
to
put
this
off
I
just
think
that
the
public
needs
more
information.
U
V
U
Listen
to
our
contingencies,
we
listen
to
our
constituents
I'm.
Sorry!
If
we
listen
to
our
constituents-
and
we
you
know,
take
heed
to
what
we're
hearing
from
the
public
it's
it's
far
in
a
way
the
public
doesn't
agree
with
with
us.
Proceeding
with
this
grant.
I
just
want
to
make
that
clear
up
front.
Some
very
compelling
arguments
tonight
and
I.
A
A
We
have
the
benefit
of
a
lot
of
information,
though,
and
I
think
it's
time
for
the
leaders
to
decide
which
direction
they
want
to
take
with
our
community.
You
have
to
make
the
hard
choice.
I
know
it's
a
hard
choice.
You
have
that
responsibility
to
your
community,
which
direction
will
you
lead
I?
Think
we
can
go
on
and
on
and
on
and
on
we're.
Never
gonna
have
all
the
answers.
I
think
people
have
expressed
well
every
side
of
this
issue
and
I
I
hope
someone
will
make
a
motion.
K
This
doesn't
necessarily
future
discussion,
but
let's
get
a
motion
on
the
table.
I
make
a
motion
to
approve,
with
the
contingencies
of
the
engineering
report
that
verifies
safety
whatever
that
might
be.
And,
however,
we
can
phrase
that-
and
the
second
contingency
would
be
that
in
the
event
that
the
the
building
goes
dark
in
the
future.
We'll
take
those
first
in
line,
if
you
will
for
an
event
of
liquidation
or,
however,
we
want
to
phrase
that
so
those
two
contingencies
move
to
approve
I.
A
L
I
was
thinking
about
this
conversation
throughout
the
course
of
day
I
couldn't
help,
but
think
of
our
our
skateboarders
here
in
town.
You
know
we
opened
a
skateboard
park
last
summer,
early
fall
and
what
those
young
young
people
did
to
beat
the
doors
or
the
bake
sales
and
different
events
to
raise
money
to
help
make
that
happen.
L
That's
what
I'm
looking
for
from
the
supporters.
This
I'll
write
a
check
out
to
to
support
this,
and
that's
that's.
What
I
have
to
do
not
feel
like
we
have
seen.
Is
that
broad-based
public
request
to
us
for
support
of
this,
because
one
hundred
at
two
weeks
ago
you
may
disagree,
but
I
think
this
is
a
very
generous
Town
that
a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
on
the
part
of
this
community
is
not
that
much
to
raise.
L
We've
got
to
try
to
remove
the
emotions
from
this
we're
stewards
of
taxpayer
dollars
here
and
and
I'm
very
cognizant
of
that,
because
I
am
hearing
overwhelming
opposition.
This
you
try
to
educate
people,
but
that
opposition
is
still
there
and
I
think
of
those
skateboarders
what
they
went
through
to
make
their
project
a
reality.
That
I'd
look
for
the
same
same
effort
from
the
supporters
of
this,
which
I
think
if
it's
out
there,
which
I
would
hope
it
is
that
that
is
not
going
to
be
hard
to
race
in
the
community.
A
S
S
Keep
the
utility
bills
paid,
keep
the
mortgage
paid,
because
that
was
part
of
our
agreement
when
we
stepped
in
a
year
ago,
as
is
to
make
this
happen,
and
we've
got
people
that
are
out
there
willing
to
do
this,
and
this
is,
you
know
how
much
did
you
put
into
a
skateboard
park?
I
mean
I
mean
this.
This
is
a
historic
theater.
It
is
the
corner
piece
of
Watertown
downtown.
S
A
K
I'm
gonna
disagree
with
you
a
little
bit
on
that,
because
we've
heard
several
times
about
people
thinking
these
guys
for
how
much
they've
done
the
mount
of
philanthropy
that's
taken
place.
I
said
this
two
weeks
ago
it's
been
unbelievable.
It's
a
lot
more
than
people
realize.
So
there
has
been
an
ongoing
effort
onto
this
I
think
that
if
they
do
get
the
not-for-profit
status,
which
they
have
if
we
show
support
of
the
city,
there's
a
momentum
play
there.
The
city
has
I
believe
should
take
a
part
in
this.
It's
not
all
ours.
K

Thank
You
mayor
members
of
the
council:
this
is
a
public
hearing
as
a
requirement
of
a
Community
Development
Block
Grant
those
awarded
to
the
city
to
help
improvements
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club.
Here
in
town.
One
of
the
requirements
is
a
public
progress
hearing
to
bring
the
council
up
to
date
on
what's
going
on.
Let
them
know
what's
happening
and
see
if
there's
any
questions
or
comments
about
the
project
with
that
being
done,
I'm
Ted
Hader,
with
first
district
good.
X
First
of
all,
good
evening,
thank
you
for
your
time
tonight.
I
would
like
to
thank
the
city
of
Watertown
staff,
mayor
and
council
members
for
supporting
the
project
of
our
expansion
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
and
for
your
partnership
in
this
Community
Development
Block
Grant.
We
are
grateful
for
your
partnership
in
serving
over
1,600
of
our
youth
members.
This
last
year.
New
facility
is
really
a
focus
on
safety,
enhancements
innovation,
flow
design
and
really
has
come
about
the
last
two
decades.
X
As
we've
had
a
growth
in
our
membership
and
the
need
for
more
space
at
the
Boys
and
Girls
Club
renovations
were
started.
Last
fall.
We
started
with
some
exterior
work
in
the
parking
lots
outside
of
the
club
construction
began
in
September
of
2017.
We
plan
to
take
occupancy
of
the
building
in
late
July
or
early
August
of
2018.
Our
first
day
open
for
youth
services
will
be
on
the
first
day
of
school,
which
is
Thursday.
Y
Just
want
to
mention
the
school
district
has
been
very
supportive
in
our
efforts
here
to
currently.
If
you
didn't
know,
we
were
working
out
of
Garfield
elementary
school.
That's
working
out
really
well
for
us
we're
going
to
continue
there
throughout
the
summer
and
then
very
excited
to
get
back
to
our
new
facility
here,
hopefully
in
August,
as
far
as
what's
being
done
right
now,
we're
about
2/3
through
the
construction
process.
I
know
a
few
you
faces
here
have
been
through
and
we
do
welcome
others
a
few.
Y
Y
Let's
see
here,
cool
ceiling,
tile
fixtures
things
like
that,
so
so
things
are
really
shaping
up
on
the
inside
of
the
building
and
we're
waiting
for
the
weather
to
cooperate
with
us.
So
we
can
get
on
the
outside
and
get
that
part
done
as
well.
Really
the
challenges
have
been
have
been
small.
There's
been,
we
had
to
relocate
the
elevator
because
there
was
a
power
line
in
the
ground.
That
was
not
on
the
original
blueprints.
We
had
to
relocate
the
elevator,
nothing
very
major.
Y
In
fact,
it
gave
us
more
storage
space
which
has
been
been
a
positive,
and
then
we
had
a
beam
that
was
delivered
to
us.
It
was
an
incorrect
size
but
didn't
really
slow
us
down.
Instead,
they
just
started
working
on
a
different
area
until
the
correct
beam
came
in
so
again,
things
are
very
positive.
We
invite
anyone
to
come.
Take
a
peek
anytime.
X
The
building
project
itself
is
a
structural
and
cosmetic
renovation
of
about
20,000
square
feet.
Many
of
our
program
areas
needed
updating
and
expansion
to
again
continue
to
provide
quality
services
to
a
growing
need
of
Watertown
youth
members.
A
few
features
that
you
may
notice.
We
are
moving
our
entrance
over
onto
the
west
side
of
the
building
to
ensure
safety
with
traffic
flow
and
children
not
having
to
walk
across
the
parking
lot
to
enter
our
building.
X
X
We
have
actually
places
to
store
milk
and
have
refrigerated
and
walk-in
coolers,
as
well
as
a
much
larger
dining
room
for
a
better
eating
experience
and,
lastly,
a
private
entrance.
What
you
may
all
recall
is
the
rec
center
entrance
on
the
west
side
to
that
will
be
a
separate
entrance
for
our
early
childhood
program
serving
ages
three
to
five
years
old.
X
So
if
you
look
at
it,
it's
making
a
huge
impact
and
what
we
will
do
for
four
to
five
hundred
children
in
a
day
and
I
would
challenge
you
to
think
of
what
would
those
children
be
doing
without
a
Boys
and
Girls
Club,
and
it
was
time
to
refresh
update
and
make
our
facility
a
much
safer
environment.
And
we
thank
you
for
being
part
of
that.
Thank.
C
E
Want
to
say,
I'm,
looking
forward
to
seeing
this
finished
product
and
I'm
excited
to
see
how
your
numbers
grow,
and
it's
I
think
it's
just
a
great
thing
for
a
water
town
and
a
safe,
such
a
safe
place
for
the
youth
and
and
it's
obviously
a
step
in
the
right
direction.
So
kudos
to
you
guys
in
all
of
your
hard
work.
I
know
it
was
a
lot
of
work,
so
great
job,
I'm.
T
Really
excited
to
see
this
as
well.
The
Boys
and
Girls
Club
made
a
single
moms'
job
22
years
ago,
a
whole
lot
easier
when
I
brought
my
kids
here
to
town
and
I
wouldn't
have
made
it
without.
You
guys
so
I'm
glad
to
see
new
youth
coming
up
and
coming
in
to
be
able
to
have
such
a
fabulous
facility.
So
I.
U
Just
want
to
make
a
comment,
you
know
and
then
I
always
talk
about
how
long
I've
been
involved
fall
with
the
city.
Government
I
should
be
like
80,
you
know
yeah,
it
may
be
well
preserved.
Maybe
I
am
but
but
I
just
want
to
say
I
mean
you
know,
I
think
back
to
the
facility
that
we
had.
You
know
just
down
across
from
Dempsey's.
You
know,
cuz
I
went
to
that
place
and
it
was
on
the
board
at
that
time.
When
we
made
decision
to
to
build
the
current
place
and
what
a
metamorphosis
I
mean.
U
I
I'm
really
excited
about
having
an
opportunity
to
come
and
take
a
look
around
I.
Really
I
would
like
to
see
that
I
and
I
got
to
tell
you
hats
off
to
you,
I
mean
when
we
talked
about
a
capital
campaign.
Back
in
the
day
we
were
looking
for
like
eight
hundred
thousand
bucks-
oh
my
god.
How
are
we
ever
gonna
get
that
and-
and
it
did
come
to
pass,
that
we
were
able
to
procure
those
funds.
But
what
really
surprised
me
is
how
well
you
did
with
your
fundraising
efforts.
U
A
A
A
W
A
L
W
A
Z
You
mayor,
this
is
a
single
block
of
alley:
that's
partially
improved
it's
located
between
Highway
20
or
10th,
Street,
West
and
1990
Street
West,
its
location
is
just
north
of
the
Whelan
restaurant,
and
this
is
the
second
time
this
petition
has
come
before
the
council
last
year.
It
also
was
before
us
and
we
failed
to
pass
it
on.
We
have
reached
out
to
the
property
owners
with
petition.
We
have
approximately
53%
in
support
of
the
project
45%,
not
in
support
of
the
project
in
about
2%.
A
How's
the
authority,
but
you
don't
have
to
approve
this.
There
was
a
letter
at
our
spots
and
I'm
gonna
read
it
into
the
record
hello.
My
name
is
Todd
Zimmerman
40
years
old,
single
and
live
at
417.
Ninth
Street
Northwest
I
am
going
to
list
some
reasons
of
why
I
am
against
the
petition
for
alley.
Improvements,
project
number
1801,
a1
money,
I
am
in
no
position
to
be
able
to
finance
such
a
project,
not
only
being
the
only
income
in
the
house,
but
also
I
would
be
paying
the
biggest
amount.
A
Others
on
the
petition
are
either
married
or
considered
a
business,
which
means
two
incomes
or
the
ability
to
either
write
off
the
expenses
or
recoup
it
through
their
business
to
a
percentage
percentage
of
the
yardage
of
property
shows
that
I
am
one
of
the
highest
meaning.
I
would
pay
the
most,
but
1%
not
known
is
the
travel
and
abuse
put
on
the
alley.
A
If
we
went
that
route,
I
would
be
the
lowest,
whereas
the
wheel
in
does
the
most
damage
to
the
property,
followed
by
a
Jim
Piper's
renters
than
the
Olsens,
not
really
fair
to
me.
Why
would
I
want
to
pay
for
a
majority
of
the
project
if
I
get
the
bet,
the
least
amount
of
benefit
out
of
it
if
it
was
a
private
drive
with
fence
running
north
and
south
at
the
end
of
my
property
sure?
Why
not?
A
What
happens
in
five
years
when
all
the
traffic
breaks
down
the
alley,
you
simply
can't
bring
it
bring
in
the
equipment
and
regrade
it
like
gravel
speaking
of
grading
the
alley
if
it
wasn't
was
done
properly.
There
would
not
be
this
petition,
meaning
grade
it
down
to
the
depth
of
the
potholes,
to
eliminate
them,
then
bring
it
back
to
the
proper
level.
Simply
dumping
loads
of
gravel
on
top
is
not
a
fix.
A
Quite
frankly,
it's
throwing
money
away
on
the
city
side,
not
only
on
the
load
of
gravel
at
least
six
a
year,
but
the
wasted
labor
hours,
not
sure
what
the
rate
is
but
I'm
sure
it's
not
cheap.
Every
time
they
work.
The
alley,
like
I,
said,
simply
doing
it
right.
One
time
will
save
money
in
the
long
run
once
it
is
properly
done,
there's
a
solution
that
can
be
sprayed
on
the
gravel
to
not
only
eliminate
the
dust
but
also
eliminate
the
need
for
regrading
the
rest
of
the
year.
A
Trust
me:
it
works
my
brother-in-law,
nighter,
electric
and
other
business
owners
had
it
done
their
Road
south
of
Watertown
Ford,
it
basically
bonds
the
gravel
to
itself.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
reasons.
I
am
100%
against
this
project.
Other
could
be
damaged
two
yards
and
property
during
the
paving
process.
More
money,
the
what-ifs
the
alley
needs
dug
up
to
fix,
damaged
electrical
issues.
Underneath
who
pays
for
that?
Amongst
other
issues,
thanks
Joel
Zimmerman,
Todd,
Zimmerman,
say:
okay?
A
F
Dude
well
just
just
on
a
correction
in
here.
You
know
he
talks
about
the
damage
done
to
it
in
the
future,
but
the
city
accepts
responsibility
for
all
future,
then
right
if
this
would
be
to
be
put
in
and
there's
damage
down
the
road
wear
and
tear
that's
our
responsibility,
so
the
items
that
he's
mentioning
in
here
of
who
pays
for
it.
That's
us
correct!
Yes,
if
the
utilities
has
an
issue
and
they
got
to
dig
it
up,
they
got
to
repair
it.
Yeah
like
they
would
a
street.
F
Yes,
okay,
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
now
the
flip
side
of
that
I
agree
with
him
in
regards
to
assessing
a
project.
I
mentioned
it
early
and
in
our
Public
Works
meeting
on
another
issue.
I
see
this
being
very
similar
to
that
I
struggle
with
it
and
to
me,
I
think
this
is
even
more
significantly
different
than
a
street.
This
is
an
alley.
I
have
a
hard
time
again.
I'll
go
back
to
it.
I
have
a
hard
time
putting
a
burden
on
an
individual
when
it
truly
isn't
the
necessity.
F
F
They
can
write
some
of
that
expense
off
I'm,
assuming
I,
don't
know,
go
ahead,
and
you
probably
know
that
I
think
it's
more
difficult
for
the
homeowner
and
in
this
case
he's
got
the
largest
percent
I'm,
assuming
he's
the
one
that
I
think
chanted
reference
some
time
ago,
and
we
talked
about
this,
but
I'm
opposed
to
it
myself,
I,
don't
see
it
as
a
necessity
and
I
guess,
I
really
can't
say
much
more
than
that
other
than
clarification
on
his
questions.
You
did
him
thank.
D
Z
Ironically,
last
year
he
signed
the
petition
to
begin
the
project,
but
ultimately
that
failed-
and
maybe
he
signed
it
as
a
sure
I'd
like
to
see
it
paved.
But
when
the
real
dollars
hit
the
paper,
some
people
get
cold
feet
and
decide
that
they
don't
want
to
pursue.
That.
I
think
that
he's
been
much
more
aware
in
this
round
of
information
that
we've
shared
with
him
and
just
to
be
fair.
D
Z
A
Z
L
A
A
K
Is
a
point
of
clarification:
if
it's
residential,
all
all
sides
or
business,
all
sites,
probably
works
fine.
The
issue
here
is
this
part
residential
part
business,
but
same
rules,
correct
all
right.
My
hesitation
on
this
one
is:
we've
got
an
issue
with
cleaning
up
streets
in
the
city.
We've
got
half
alleys,
we've
had
you
know,
part
park
streets
are
paved
part,
are
not
I'm
concerned.
How
far
we
go
with
exceptions
as
we
try
to
get
our
streets
uniformly
cleaned
up
throughout
the
city.
So
that's
my
concern.
U
You
know
I,
don't
I,
don't
want
to
seem
hypocritical
because
of
the
motion
we
made
earlier
and
the
public
works,
but
this
is
an
alley
versus
a
street
I,
don't
I,
don't
necessarily
see
the
necessity
for
this
I
have
to
agree
with
what
Don
was
saying
too
about
you
know.
We
do
have
a
number
of
streets
that
we've
talked
about
for
years,
whether
or
not
we're
going
to
improve
those
streets
and-
and
if
we,
if
we
don't
do
something
with
those
and
I,
know
I'm
getting
off
task
here
a
bit.
U
But
if
we
don't
do
something
with
those
they're
gonna
be
that
way
in
perpetuity.
At
some
point,
we're
gonna
have
to
bite
the
bullet
and
fix
those
I.
Don't
think
I
think
it'd
be
an
unnecessary
burden
for
this
person
with
you
know,
knowing
that
a
majority,
but
a
number
of
the
other
folks
are
not
interested
in
the
project.
L
R
Get
more
than
50%
and
I
think
after,
if
you
can't
get
everybody
or
almost
everybody's
participation,
I
wouldn't
call
it
a
necessity.
I'm
sorry
and
I
wanted
it.
I
was
in
the
middle
of
the
block
and
it
was
a
mess
but
I
there
just
wasn't
any
support.
You
get
okay,
you
know,
but
they
really
didn't
want
it.
So
I
think
this
might
be
the
city
councilman.
K
Z
K
A
A
A
F
K
A
That's,
that's
not
our
rule
to
change!
That's
the
state
law
and
it's.
It
always
comes
down
to
the
council.
Determination
if
it's
necessary.
There
are
enough
people
in
favor
that
those
opposed
cannot
turn
it
over.
They
can't
overturn
it.
So
you
can
force
this
issue
if
you
think
it's
necessary,
if
you
don't
think
it's
necessary,
you
can
still
force
it,
but
you're
gonna
I
mean
you
have
enough
votes
to
force
it.
It's
just
passing
the
resolution
of
a
necessity
or
not.
If
you
think
it's
necessary,
that's
your
call.
A
N
A
L
R
B
F
AA
E
A
If
anyone
is
here
to
speak
about
this,
you
may
recall
this
came
for
a
beer
license
recently
and
passed
the
the
owners
we're
not
able
to
come
tonight,
but
they
explained
they're
now
asking
for
a
wine
license
because
they
didn't
realize
the
cider
they
wanted
to
serve
actually
counts
as
wine,
and
they
are
getting
requests
for
wine.
So
they
decided
to
get
the
wine
license
as
well.

is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
professional
services
agreement
with
imagetrend
Inc
for
billing
services
for
the
Watertown
fire
risk,
look
for
a
motion
and
second
moved
by
Councilman,
Y
and
second
by
Councilwoman.
Q
AB
You,
mayor
and
council,
just
briefly
I'll,
just
we
brought
this
up
a
couple
weeks
ago
in
the
Finance
Committee
and
just
bringing
it
forward
and
I
just
wanted
to
explain
a
couple
more
things
about
this
this
process,
so
an
ambulance
service
is
considered
a
pre-hospital
in
in
the
healthcare
healthcare
field.
So
with
that
being
said,
some
of
the
laws
that
we
are
governed
by
are
a
little
bit
different
than
even
a
hospital
or
a
clinic
setting,
for
instance,
pre-hospital.
AB
We
get
called
by
9-1-1,
so
we
go
to
the
patient.
So
that's
one
of
the
big
differences,
whereas
the
hospital
or
clinic
setting
they
may,
we
may
take
them
there,
but
they
also
may
be
owned
by
private
car
or
to
a
clinic
appointment.
So
some
of
our
laws
and
things
like
that,
our
Medicare
laws
are
quite
a
bit
different.
So
that
is
one
of
the
big
reasons
that
we
are
looking
at
some
different
options
out
there,
it's
getting
more
competitive
and
a
more
difficult.
Two
laws
are
changing
and
with
that
being
said,
the.
AB
That's
what
that's,
what
we
consider
compliance
in
our
field
so
with
that?
That's
a
big
part
that
we
we
look
at,
as
is
we
have
to
make
sure
we're
doing
everything
by
the
law.
So
with
that
being
said,
once
we
send
out-
and
we
take
a
patient
to
the
hospital-
that's
considered
a
billable
call
and
we
have
everything
and
documented
in
into
that
point,
so
we
have
a
professional
service.
AB
That's
looking
at
given
us
some
professional
support
in
a
lot
of
different
areas,
so
for
for
$20
a
billable
call,
they
will
do
all
the
the
processing
the
coating
releasing
us
from
liabilities
of
four.
That's
four
that
coding
process
as
well
as
training
in
compliance
and
different
support.
We
would
also
say
save
a
lot
of
money
in
postage.
We
would
save
money
in
office
supplies
and
also
some
of
the
software's.
We
wouldn't
need
any
bridge
software
or
billing
softwares,
and
things
like
that.
AB
AB
So
we
understand
that
our
revenue
is
very
important
to
us
in
the
city
as
well
as
the
taxpayer,
that
we
maintain
that.
So
you
know
we,
we
want
to
work
hard
to
to
achieve
that
and
maintain
our
revenue
for
for
the
building
and
stuff,
and
we
just
feel
that
moving
toward
this
would
be
a
very
good
opportunity
to
to
see
if
we
can
for
certain
maintain
that
and
then
also
possibly
improve
that
to
help
reduce
some
of
the
differences
between
the
service
and
the
software's
and
stuff.
So
with
that,
any
questions
thank.
L
AB
AB
F
AB
F
AB
AB
The
numbers
are
pretty
decent,
but
with
that
being
said
with
what
the
law
is
getting
tougher,
I
would
say:
we'd
be
at
a
worst-case
scenario:
kind
of
halfway
between
the
the
software,
and
so
what
I'm
saying
is
we'd
see
some
improvement
in
our
revenue
and
in
our
office
supplies
and
stuff.
So
I
would
say
we
would
have
about
ten
to
fifteen
thousand
dollars
in
added
expenses,
at
worst
case
scenario,
with
the
revenue
being
about
where
it's
at
now,
which
is
which
our
budget
of
revenue
for
2017
is
believe
just
over
a
million
dollars.
E
AB
C
F
AB
T
AB
AB
It's
it's
a
really
big
part
of
it.
When
you
talk
to
Medicare
law,
the
the
compliance
part
that
I
was
talking
about,
we
are
still
liable
for
anything.
We
document
on
that
on
that
patient
care
report,
but
where
the
some
of
the
liability
is
in
the
coding
they
they
view
that
compliance
from
that
report
and
make
sure
they've
you
that
and
then
they're
the
ones
that
are
coding
that
and
stuff.
AB
So,
if
there's
an
error
in
the
coding
of
the
bill,
that's
where
we
wouldn't
be
liable
as
long
as
we
document
it
correctly,
which
they
provide
training
and
they
have
certified
ambulance
billing
personnel
they
have,
they
give
us
an
account
manager
that
will
help
us
to
make
sure
we're
everything
is
compliant
before
it
goes
to
the
billing
process.
So
sometimes.
AB
C
F
AB
F
AB
A
M
Just
gonna
comment
on
councilman
Ville,
ours
question
from
earlier.
The
reason
why
it
wasn't
on
last
weeks,
two
weeks
ago
is
council
agenda
is
because
there
was
a
couple
of
tweaks.
We
had
proposed
to
the
contract
minor
thing,
adding
him
as
the
as
the
notice
or
as
well
as
adding
a
45
day
payment
period
versus
a
thirty
five.
Thirty
days
so,
plus
the
last
council
meeting
went
till
almost
midnight,
so
that
was
part
of
it
too.
Oh
really,.
C
M
And
the
other
thing
I'd
add
as
well.
The
dollars
and
cents
are
certainly
important.
That's
not
my
that's!
Not
my
area,
but
I.
Think
the
emphasis
here
on
the
liability
prevented
the
liability
aspect
of
it.
The
coding
errors
are
getting.
You
know
that
coding
aspect
of
it
is
getting
much
more
complicated
and
there's
severe
penalties
for
for
miss
coding
things,
and
so
by
transferring
that
that
process
to
somebody
else.
It
helps
us
from
a
liability
standpoint
as
well.
M
A
U
AB
AB
You
know
what
their,
what
what
type
of
service
it
was
and
stuff,
so
they
did
have
a
they
liked
it,
and
and-
and
they
did
have
an
increase
in
revenue,
so
I'm
reluctant
to
say
Watertown
is,
is
going
to
have
an
increase
in
revenue,
because
I
think
we
do
a
pretty
good
job,
but
just
the
release
of
liability,
as
well
as
as
I
am
very
confident.
We
won't
see
a
decrease
in
revenue,
I
think.
AB
J
A
Right
any
other
questions
comments:
okay,
I'll,
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item.
13
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
resolution
for
the
city
of
Watertown
to
support
wildfire
Awareness
Month,
their
motion
and
second,
moved
by
calls.
Meanwhile,
I'm
second
by
Councilman,
white
and
Doug's,
going
to
talk
to
us
about
this
one
to
you,
yeah.
AB
We
can
go
on
that
website,
pull
out
information
on
like
combine
fires
and
vegetation
fires
and
stuff,
and
how
to
promote
safety
and
stuff
and
put
safety
tips,
newspaper
radios,
purple,
public
service
announcements,
and
things
like
that.
So
I
think
it's
worth
promoting
safety
and
Prevention
of
fires
when
whatever
we
cancel
all.
AB
Don't
believe
so,
we've
never
we've
never
signed
into
this
promotion
but
at
the
same
token,
like
I,
said
they're
just
kind
of
expanding
away
from
the
wildfires
in
the
hills
and
and
trying
to
help
the
whole
state.
So
I
don't
believe
there
is
all
that
we're
really
doing
is
promoting
it
and
putting
that
will
be
on
a
website.
A
city
of
Watertown
supports
the
the
awareness
and
then
one
less
spark
one
less
fire
sure.
So,
thanks.
A
A
A
Okay,
we're
going
to
reconvene
we're
on
item
number
14
resolution
of
intent
to
enter
into
a
one-year
lease
agreement
with
Lake
City
slowpitch
softball
to
operate
the
concession
area
at
premier,
softball
complex
lot,
one
block
to
Watertown
sport,
complex
first
subdivision,
look
for
a
motion
and
second
for
approval
move
by
Buehler.
Second
by
Thorson
is
there
who
would
like
let
CJ
or
TK?
What
do
you
guys
wanna
help
us
out
here.
AC
The
Rizla's
resolution
of
intent
is
basically
the
next
step
in
the
process
to
enter
into
lease
for
the
concessions
at
premier
fields,
with
lake
city
slowpitch,
softball
association.
To
give
you
a
little
history
on
that
we
have
applied
through
the
Board
of
Adjustment
and
basically
now
premier
fields
is,
is
a
bar
out
there.
We
got
a
conditional
use
out
there,
so
the
city
has
a
permanent
conditional
use
out
there,
and
so
once
lake
city
slowpitch
softball
leases
it
from
us,
then
they're
good
to
go
for
the
sale
and
serving
in
consumption
of
alcohol
out
there.
AC
Plus
it
can
only
be
there.
Alcohol
players
and
fans
from
the
parking
lot
cannot
be
bringing
any
alcohol
and
everything
that
she
consumed.
There
has
to
be
sold
on
the
premises.
So
this
is
the
next
step
and
then
will
basically
go
into
a
public
hearing
right
now,
like
city
slowpitch,
softball
association,
they
do
pretty
much
have
all
their
insurance
in
place
and
the
application
for
their
liquor
license
and
we're
now
working
on
a
lease
agreement
that
we
hope
to
get
done
this
week
and
we'll
take
it
to
the
park
and
Recreation
Board.
AC
B
A
F
A
E
M
A
AC
A
M
I
can,
as
we
discussed
in
finance
committee,
this
has
been
a
well
Glenn
I
said
six
months.
Has
it
been
eight
months
nine
month,
ten
months,
I'm,
not
sure,
but
Ryan
queries
been
attempting
to
get
us
some
additional
sponsorship
dollars
for
the
prairie
lakes,
Wellness
Center,
and
this
agreement
with
Dakota
Bank
is
the
first
of
these
to
come
to
fruition.
I
provided
them
with
two
large
large
signs,
large-ish
signs
at
the
Wellness
Center
in
exchange
for
an
annual
contribution
to
the
city.
U
U
C
B
Have
to
me
there's
two
options:
currently
we
still
have
fun
5:04
open,
which
is
the
capital
projects
fund,
but
that
really
was
designed
to
build
the
facilities.
So
they
to
me
I,
guess
it's
kind
of
up
to
the
council.
If
you're
looking
at
this
to
recoup
some
of
those
costs-
or
are
you
looking
to
put
it
aside
to
do
maintenance
to
do
capital
at
the
Wellness
Center.
U
A
L
F
Little
history
on
this
Christian-
if
you
would
call
here
a
couple
weeks
ago
and
I,
had
a
little
bit
of
a
discussion
on
this,
but
as
the
as
the
different
projects
you
know
have
come
about,
and
the
costs
are
better
understood.
The
original
intent
was
the
naming.
Rights
of
the
facility
went
back
into
the
the
budget
of
the
for
the
construction
and
the
balance
of
it
was
intended
at
that
time
to
go
against
the
operation
and
for
the
creation
of
a
a
I'll
use.
F
The
word
reserve
so
that
it
could
be
self-sufficient
and
have
replenishment
of
equipment,
as
our
costs
have
went
higher
on,
for
example,
the
SAPO
a
little
bit
higher.
The
ice
is
looking
to
go
higher.
The
thought
was
with
Mara
Thorson
and
some
that
we've
had
discussion
with
the
councils
that
it
would
go.
F
You
know
if
we
named
the
aquatics
area
also,
if
we
named
a
large
area
like
the
de
4
gymnasium
that,
because
that
would
be
a
sizable
amount
of
money
that
those
dollars
would
go
towards
the
construction
aspects
of
things,
but
the
individual
sponsors,
our
signage
within
the
facility.
It
was
last
discussed.
F
I
won't
say
it
was
agreed
to,
but
it
was
discussed
was
that
this
type
of
thing
would
go
back
against
the
operating
budget
creation,
creating
the
reserve,
and
then
we
talked
about
capping,
setting
the
reserve
based
on
the
annual
budget
amount
and
once
that's
met,
then
those
dollars
can
go
elsewhere.
That's
and
I
think
that's
what
we
should
at
least
consider
doing
that
now,
but
I
think
Kristin's
right.
We
need
to
have
that
discussion
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
exactly
how
many
we
want
that
to
go.
So
that's
a
little
history
on
it.
Yeah.
B
And
I
could
propose
just
with
the
approval
of
these
agreements.
This
would
probably
be
a
great
Finance
Committee
discussion
for
the
following
week.
If
we
wanted
to
discuss
in
further
detail
going
forward
if
we
want
it
to
go
straight
to
operating
or
if
you'd
like
to
set
it
aside
for
some
capital
within
the
prairie
prairie
Lakes
Wellness,
Center
fund,
so
I
think
it'd
be
a
great
Finance
Committee.
If
everybody's
comfortable
with
that.
A
Any
other
comments
or
questions
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
number
16
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
prairie
lakes
wellness
center
sponsorship
agreement
with
vast.
So
look
for
a
motion,
second
for
approval
by
a
councilman
l'olam
second,
by
councilman.
A
M
Similar
to
the
agreement
we
just
approved
the
council
just
approved.
This
is
a
sponsorship
agreement
with
vast
this
one's
a
little
different
as
they
are
a
provider
of
broadband
Cable
and
Wireless
in
or
excuse
me
and
telephone
at
the
Wellness
Center,
and
so
it's
kind
of
an
in-kind
contract
more
or
less,
as
well
as
a
couple
thousand
dollars
additional
each
year.
In
exchange
for
some
signage.
A
Any
questions
or
comments,
none
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
It
was
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
number
17
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
an
agreement
with
quick
flight
services,
Inc
for
fuel
purchase
agreement
and
de-icing
truck
I'll,
look
for
a
motion
and
second
move
by
councilman
Bueller,
second,
by
a
Councilwoman
manty
and
Matt.
Can
you
tell
us
about
this?
One
quick.
M
Flights
is
the
ground
handling
provider
for
adi.
For
some
reason,
this
fuel
purchase
agreement
that
they
had
previously
expired
at
the
31st
of
2017,
and
so
this
agreement
is
just
a
essentially
identical
to
the
one
that
expired,
but
this
just
provides
a
month
to
month,
agreement
indefinitely
until
either
party
cancels.
A
F
A
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
number
18
is
award
of
contract
for
third
Avenue
Southwest
construction
project
number
1806
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred
thirty
nine
thousand.
Seventy
five
dollars
to
dunnock
incorporated.
A
Z
Thank
You
mayor
third
Avenue
Southwest
reconstruction
is
reconstructing
the
pavement,
essentially
from
13
13th
Street
West
to
18th
Street
West.
The
amount
of
the
bid
of
139
75
is
22%
lower
than
the
estimate
for
the
project.
Two
alternates
were
proposed
within
that
project,
one
that
would
fill
in
the
gaps
of
the
concrete,
curb
and
gutter
in
the
amount
of
17,000
605,
and
the
second
element
was
improvements
to
the
parking
area
to
the
Cooke
complex,
which
the
Park
and
Rec
board
has
recommended
for
approval
as
well.
A
A
F
Just
want
this
is
the
one
that
we
talked
about
where
we'd
contact
people
about
the
curb
and
gutter
right,
so
it
would
be
imposed
that
on
them,
correct,
okay,
I
just
want
to
let
people
know
I,
just
to
be
consistent
with
what
I
had
talked
about
in
public
works
is,
is
that's
the
portion
of
that
of
this?
That
I
disagree
with
so
I'll
be
consenting
on
this.
F
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments,
so
I'll
get
emotion,
emotion,
sleep
this!
This
would
be
the
full.
The
motion
is
for
everything,
including
the
curb
and
gutter,
which
we
build
back
by
assessment,
correct
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
name,
okay,
motion.
Well,
roll
call.
You
got
it
I.
B
E
A
Z
You
mayor
again,
public
works
community
recommended
approval
of
this
uptown
alley:
reconstruction
to
crest
own
builders
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred.
Ninety
four
thousand
eight
hundred
and
twenty
one
dollars
just
for
clarification.
That
amount
would
also
include
alternates
one
and
two,
which
are
the
two
public
parking
lots
along
side
of
one
of
the
alleys,
and
it
would
require
that
we
utilize
other
two
twelve
funds
from
unused
portions
of
other
projects.
A
Committee
any
questions
or
comments
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
number
20
is
the
Ward
contract
for
sealcoating
project
number
1815
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred.
Seventy
three
thousand
four
hundred
three
dollars
to
bituminous
pavement.
I,
look
for
motion
and
second.
A
A
Z
We
only
one
alternate
on
this:
one
13th
Avenue
Southeast
as
we
discussed,
is
a
private
road
and
if
we
approve
the
full
amount
of
this
contract,
that
would
include
that
private
road
work
and
then
we
would
subsequently
bill
the
owners
of
the
private
road
or
negotiate
the
costs
into
the
final
acceptance
documents
for
that
other
project.
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
there
is
a
budget
shortfall
of
twenty
three
thousand
eight
hundred
and
three
dollars
and
again
we
have
excess
funds
and
other
212
projects
which
would
help
us
fund
this
shortfall.
Z
AA
We
have
an
offer
from
Warren
development
who
will
be
doing
business
as
creative
visions
landscaping
to
purchase
lot
34
in
the
end,
rescind
us
triol
Park
over
in
the
area
south
of
Walmart.
This
is
actually
more
east
of
or
west
of
Walmart
I'm,
sorry,
and
that
would
be
for
$18,000
per
acre
and
out
of
that,
there's
a
piece
of
it
that
goes
into
a
fund
for
the
Community
Foundation,
and
this
would
have
in
addition
to
it.
AA
They
understand
that
they
are
going
to
be
responsible
for
improvements,
because
that
is
an
unimproved
road
that
runs
next
to
this
lot.
With
previous
under
sales,
we've
had
a
50
cents,
a
square
foot
assessment
that
won't
be
on
this,
be
because
this
part
hasn't
been
improved
yet
so
for
I
would
defer
to
Shane
for
kind
of
an
additional
explanation
on
that.
Z
26Th
Street
originally
was
plaited
to
go
north
between
14th
Avenue
and
highway
212
a
portion
of
that
road
has
been
vacated
or
the
right
away,
and
so
there
remains
this
portion
here
that
has
right
away,
but
has
been
unimproved.
The
sale
of
this
lot
in
order
to
get
a
building
permit
would
require
improvements
to
that
segment
of
26th
Street
and
so
at
some
point
going
forward.
The
purchases
of
this
lot
will
have
to
work
with
the
city
to
make
those
improvements
become
a
reality
in
order
to
get
the
building
permit
and
make
it
developable.
L
AA
D
A
Anything
else
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries.
Thank
you
item
number
22.
It's
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
18,
oh
for
amending
district
boundaries
by
rezoning,
a
portion
of
outline
a
of
Prairie
Hills
development.
Second
edition,
no
action
required
here,
but
Shane.
You
wanna
tell
us
about
this.
Okay,.
Z
L
A
Other
questions:
okay,
moving
along
item
number
23
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
utilities,
certification
and
right-of-way
certification
for
the
South
Dakota
Department
of
Transportation
regarding
the
20th
Avenue
Bridge
preservation,
project
number
1709.
Is
there
a
motion
and
second
by
Councilwoman,
nanti
and
second
by
councilman,
Bueller
Shane?
When
you
tell
us
about
that,
please,
yes,.
Z
Thank
You
mayor
this
project,
20th
Avenue
South
bridge
over
the
Big
Sur
River,
has
funding
from
the
South
Dakota
d-o-t,
and
such
funding
requires
that
the
city
certify
the
utilities
that
may
be
impacted
by
the
project.
In
this
case
we've
identified
Watertown
municipal
utilities
and
Mid
Continent
communications
as
two
utilities.
A
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I
was
a
posting
in
fiber
same
name.
You
tricked
me
Shane
item
number
24
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
cooperative
purchasing
agreement
with
the
state
of
Minnesota
and
so
I'll
look
for
a
motion.
Second,
on
this
move
by
Councilman,
l'olam
and
second
by
Councilman
Albertson.
This
again
is
the
this
was
recommended
by
the
public
works
committee,
and
this
agreement
would
allow
the
city
to
purchase
items
off
of
the
state
of
Minnesota's
bits
and
we've
done
that
in
the
past.
A
We
need
to
redo
this
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
it
in
the
future.
We
don't
have
anything
in
mind
and
we
would
wouldn't
use
it
if
we
could
get
something
locally.
We
would
definitely
get
it
locally,
but
this
is
just
another
option
for
us
any
questions
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
It
was
a
pose
signify
by
saying
nay,
motion
carries
mayor.
A
A
The
Corps
has
never
done
this
project,
and
so
every
year
they
try
to
get
the
money
appropriated
to
do
it
and
so
far
they
haven't
been
successful,
but
they
keep
trying,
and
so
every
year
they
ask
us
to
tell
us
if
we're
still
in
it
with
them,
and
so
we
still
are-
and
this
is
just
kind
of
for
your
information-
nothing's
changed
I'll.
Send
this
letter
out
tomorrow
saying
that
that
our
interest
in
this
project
hasn't
changed
and
there
isn't
any
money
set
aside
for
it.
A
A
Yeah,
it's
April
so
anyway.
I
follow
that
stuff
on
the
United
States
Geological
Survey
website
and
the
united
stand
the
National
Weather
Service
they
do
predictions.
They
show
our
risk
for
flooding,
we're
not
even
in
the
minor
risk
category,
yet
so
not
to
say
that
couldn't
change
in
a
heartbeat
we're
really
not
in
danger
from
this
I
just
wanted
to
reassure
you
of
that
now.
Is
there
there
any.
A
That's
a
good
point:
Glenn,
there's
so
much
ice
and
when
the
ice
hasn't
gone
out,
but
the
lake
is
up
high,
like
it
is
this
year.
There
is
tremendous
potential
for
shoreline
damage
this
year,
which
is
worse
than
most
years.
So
there's
that
so
last
year,
at
this
time,
most
people
had
their
docks
out,
but
we've
got
thirty
inches
of
ice
still
any
other
new
business.
Councilman
Albertson.
