Number
1
final
for
the
2018
sealcoating
project
number
1815,
with
bituminous
paving
inc
for
an
increase
of
two
thousand
two
hundred
thirty
dollars:
98
cents
bringing
the
total
contract
amount
to
175
thousand
six
hundred
$33.98.
Look
for
a
motion.
B
Thank
You
mayor
what
the
deal
was
here
is
originally
planned
that
we
were
gonna
chip,
seal
First,
Avenue
north
and
the
the
tire
rutting
is
getting
pretty
bad
and
First
Avenue
North.
So
what
we
did
is
switched
it
to
another
stretch
that
needs
that
needed
a
seal
coat
and
that
was
camp
Avenue
from
highway
81
to
19th
Street
East.
So
there
was
a
slight
difference
in
quantity
and
that's
where
the
extra
twenty
two
hundred
and
thirty
dollars
and
ninety
eight
cents
came
into
play.
B
B
Want
to
look
at
doing
a
millon
overlay
on
that
the
tire
rutting
has
gotten
pretty
bad
over
the
last
few
years
and
it's
continuing
to
get
worse
so,
instead
of
just
putting
a
chip
over
it,
it's
at
least
the
driving
lanes
to
do
for
milling
overlay.
That
is
the
original
surface
that
was
put
on
back
in
the
90s
when
they
did
the
first
Avenue
storm
sewer
system.
So
it's
been.
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments
all
right,
I'll
look
for
action.
This
is
for
recommendation
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
It
was
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries.
Thank
you
rob
item
number.
Five
is
consideration
of
change
order
number
one
for
the
alley:
uptown
alley
reconstruction
project
number
1807,
with
crest
stone,
Builders
Inc
for
an
increase
of
one
thousand
four
hundred
seven
dollars:
three
cents,
bringing
the
total
contract
amount
to
one
hundred.
Ninety
six
thousand,
two
hundred
twenty
eight
dollars,
three
cents
and
I.
Look
for
a
motion.
A
E
The
main
purpose
behind
this
change
order
before
you
this
evening
is
mainly
for
tree
removal
along
this
project.
There
was
a
tree
that
was
adjacent
to
the
new
pavement
and
a
large
portion
of
the
the
root
structure
of
that
tree
had
to
be
removed
and
rather
than
risking
losing
the
whole
tree
later
on
do
to
win.
We
column
decided
to
have
the
whole
tree
removed.
That's
what
the
additional
funds
are
for.
Yeah.
A
D
A
Opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
number.
Six
is
consideration
of
change
order.
Number
three
final
for
the
Watertown
Regional
Landfill
stormwater
improvements,
project
number
1818
with
rounds
construction
for
an
increase
of
$2,887
fourteen
cents,
bringing
the
new
contract
amount
to
four
hundred
nineteen
thousand
one
hundred
fifty
eight
dollars,
fifty
seven
cents.
A
look
for
a
motion.
Second
for
approval.
Some.
D
A
E
F
Yes,
so
this
is
the
final
change
order
and
we're
simply
adjusting
the
bid
item,
quantities
to
the
actual
work
performed
in
the
field.
So,
along
these
perimeters
of
the
landfill
166
additional
feet
of
existing
sill
fence
was
removed
at
a
cost
of
one
hundred
thirty-two
dollars
in
80
cents
and
another
168
feet
of
new
silt
fence
was
added
at
a
cost
of
four
hundred
forty
one
dollars
and
84
cents.
F
So
the
Silph
inch
total
was
five
hundred
seventy
four
dollars
and
64
cents
and
then,
as
they
dredged
the
sediment
out
of
that
east
set
pond,
they
encountered
an
additional
250
cubic
yards.
They
desert
the
determine
the
design
quantities
by
probing
a
pond
and
that
that
sediment,
blanket
down
there
to
body
was
very
soft
at
the
top
and
dense
at
the
bottom.
A
G
Matt
and
I
together
will
kind
of
cover
this,
but
so
the
Home
Rule
Charter,
Community
Commission,
will
meet
starting
next
year.
But
before
that
happened,
we
wanted
to
look
over
the
ordinance
that
currently
kind
of
establishes
the
time
frame,
the
number
of
members
and
stuff
and
I
think
what
we
wanted
to
do
in
the
finance
Public
Works
Committee.
All
of
this
is
to
have
the
discussion
if
we
think
there's
things
in
the
ordinance
that
need
to
be
changed.
I
highlighted
a
few
of
the
items.
I
hope
the
yellow
shows
up.
G
G
The
suggestion
has
been
to
six
years
and
the
reason
that
I'm
kind
of
suggesting
the
six
and
there
again
the
Commission
would
have
to
be
the
one
to
decide
that.
But
if
we
established
it
at
six
years,
it
would
always
fall
on
a
on
an
elect
with
the
city.
So
the
way
it's
written
right
now
there
is
the
potential
at
five
years
where
you
would
have
to
hold
a
special
election.
G
So
I
don't
know
if
we
want
to
do
that
where
we
hold
a
special
election
for
for
a
change.
Otherwise,
if
we
change
it
to
the
very
last
section
when
it
says
the
report
by
the
Commission,
the
7.19
or
six,
they
would
have
to
have
their
first
kind
of
discussion
to
the
council
by
April
and
then
their
final
decision
at
the
first
meeting
of
May.
What
that
would
allow
for
is
time
to
make
it
onto
the
ballot
of
the
June
election.
So
with
that
I'll
kind
of
open
up
discussion
so.
G
A
G
Change
that
is
just
the
ordinance
changed.
The
only
one
that
the
council
couldn't
change.
That
I
discussed
was
the
five
year.
The
the
Commission
would
be
the
one
that
would
have
to
determine
that
change
right
now
as
it
stands,
because
it's
19
if
the
council
changed
it,
the
dates
for
April
and
May
we'd
be
okay
to
get
it
onto
the
the
regular
election
for
2019.
G
H
I
I'm
somewhat
putting
myself
in
a
position
of
a
new
council,
member
or
or
a
mayor,
a
new
mayor
coming
in
the
office,
but
we
did
talk
once
about
changing
the
date
for
the
election.
We
had
discussion
for
consideration,
changing
the
date
for
the
the
mayor
and
council
elections.
Moving
that
up,
so
that
was
done
in
those
positions
were
in
place
for
the
start
of
the
budget
process
versus
coming
in.
You
know
a
third
of
the
way
into
it.
H
As
far
as
the
direction
that's
been
set,
and
then
it
really
becomes
that
first
year
is
kind
of
your
budget,
the
finance
officers,
but
yet
because
of
the
experience
and
and
I
will
say
from
a
council
standpoint
when
I
first
came
on,
that
was
really
hard
for
me,
because
not
only
you
have
to
learn
the
budget
process,
but
now
there's
already
been
discussions
and
everything
that's
all
taking
place.
And
now
you
have
a
change
order
of
personnel,
so
I
think
that
should
be
part
of
this
consideration,
or
at
least
part
of
our
discussion
is.
H
Do
we
also
move
the
election
up
so
that
it
facilitates
new
members
of
council
new
member,
a
potential
new
mayor
in
that
budgeting
process?
So
just
I
throw
that
out
before
we
make
that
decision
or
or
a
set
of
direction
here
that
we
should
either
consider
it
or
just
throw
it
out
and
say
it's
not
important.
Whether
so
we.
G
G
It's
a
good
time
because
you're
through
the
audit
and
you're
not
too
far
into
the
budget,
so
it's
like
the
finance
office
is
I
would
say,
least
busy
time.
The
other
thing,
too,
is
when
there
is
school
board
things
we
have
partnered
with
them
and
that
one
is
the
only
time
that
they
could
jump
on
with
us.
Otherwise
I
think
they
would
have
to
always
have
their
own
I
think
the
did
yeah
unless
they
did
their
own.
G
We've
always
stayed
away
from
going
with
the
county,
and
that's
just
for
the
confusion
aspects
of
it
because
they
would
have
to
check
you
know
their
city
things
that
then
somebody
outside
the
city
limits
can't
vote
on
and
you
it
would
get
a
little
messy.
So
there's
kind
of
the
draw
there
on
the
election.
H
A
I
D
I
Number
of
comments-
I
know
Mike,
you
and
I
have
talked
about
that.
You
know
in
reflecting
on
that.
I
really
questioned
if
that
extra
time
that
we're
buying
as
far
as
changed
in
the
election
is
going
to
be
worth
it
versus
all
the
confusion
that
we're
going
to
be
causing
by
changing
our
city
election,
especially
if
we
try
to
combine
it
with
the
school
election.
So
you
know
I've
kind
of
had
a
flip-flop
of
change.
I
I
thought
of
math
and
I
probably
be
inclined
to
leave
the
you
know
municipal
election,
where
it
is
currently
sold
that
that's
my
two
cents
worth
on
that
just
kind
of
going
through
the
the
ordinance.
Just
a
few
comments
ask
the
number
of
members
I've
had
a
couple
different
conversations.
One
I
didn't
ask
for
permission
to
use
his
name.
I
I
won't,
but
he's
he's
kind
of
a
geek
that
looks
at
these
sorts
of
things,
and
he
said,
ideally,
the
the
the
the
best
number
of
of
people
for
a
committee
in
his
opinion
would
be
that
eight
to
twelve
okay.
So
that
would
be
an
argument
for
changing
it
from
where
we
are
right.
Now,
at
21,
okay-
that
was
one
conversation
just
this
morning,
I
visit
with
Jim
Roby,
who
was
named
I,
did
have
permission
to
use.
I
I
promised
I,
wouldn't
miss
podium
to
any
significant
degree,
but
Jim
a
chair
disc,
that
this
committee,
the
last
time
around
I,
asked
him
I
said
21
members.
How
was
that
to
work
with?
He
said
his
problem
was
trying
to
find
a
time
and
Brad
you
were.
You
were
on
that
committee
Orangery
his
his
comment
was.
It
was
hard
to
find
a
time
for
the
group
to
meet.
That
was
a
problem
he
said
overall,
though
he
it
did
go
smoothly.
I
He
appreciated
the
input
he
felt
like
they
were
getting
a
broad-based
section
of
the
community
as
far
as
being
represented,
so
he
is
kind
of
was
I,
don't
win
smoothly
or
worked
well,
so
I
guess
you
can
weigh
that
into
consideration
here
for,
for
you
know,
as
far
as
changing
that
the
number
of
members
just
curious
mirror
what
kind
of
response
I
know
you've
been
putting
a
plug
in
the
last
several
months
already
as
far
as
volunteers.
That
would
be
willing
to
serve
in
that
committee.
I've.
A
I
I
We've
got
it
with
two
appointed
by
each
of
us
are
nominated
by
each
of
us
plus
the
mayor,
so
that
that's
my
my
thought
on
that
a
couple
of
their
comments
now,
looking
at
that
first
pair,
if
we're
looking
at
probably
come
for
trying
to
compress
the
time
or
speed
up
the
process,
I
thought.
If
we
look
at
the
last
sentence
that
first
paragraph
Commission
nomination
will
be
presented
to
City
Council
at
the
first
meeting
in
February.
I
Well,
what
like?
Why
couldn't
we
change
that
to
January?
We
can
do
our
work,
yet
this
fall
to
get
our
committee
nominations
in
place
and
then
have
the
committee
ready
to
roll
right
out
of
the
chute,
the
first
of
our
first
meeting
in
Ghent
in
January.
So
that
would
be
a
suggestion
to
my
part
that
we
look
at
changing
that
part
of
it
to
January,
or
rather
in
February.
I
You
know
as
to
the
report
by
Commission
on
the
second
page,
that
ordinance,
you
know
I,
think
to
that,
that
we
need
to
definitely
change
that,
so
we
can
incorporate
any
changes
that
might
be
coming
out
of
this
committee
so
that
we
can
act
on
it
at
the
election
now
Matt
I
do
have
a
questions.
I
know
we
had
this
conversation
a
few
months.
J
I
K
Anybody
recall
how
far
ahead
of
time
the
materials
were
given
to
the
members
of
that
committee
I
was
thinking.
There
wasn't
a
very
long
time
like
it
was
passed
out.
The
first
day
is
that
right,
Brad
yeah
so
well.
Two
times
ago,
Greg
was
actually
on
that
committee
as
well,
and
that
was
one
of
the
things
he
said
was
that
it
was
really
hard
to
absorb
all
of
that
information
in
such
a
short
period
of
time.
K
So
we
may
want
to
think
about
getting
process
of
selecting
the
members
and
then
getting
the
information
into
their
hands
a
little
faster
than
what
we
did.
The
last
time,
I
mean,
if
that's
possible,
to
do
it
a
month
earlier
and
then
mm-hmm
have
that
material
in
their
hands
give
them
time
to
come
with
ready
to
roll.
You
know
with
questions
and
with
their
you
know,
because
the
people
who
served
were
took
it
seriously.
K
A
C
L
J
L
J
Comment
on
that
as
well,
though,
even
though
there's
21
named
currently,
the
quorum
is
11,
and
so,
if
you
reduce
the
number
you
presumably
you'd,
probably
reduce
the
quorum.
So
then
you
could
end
up
with
a
situation
where
the
recommendation
comes
from
less
than
the
number
of
council
members
that
there
are.
C
A
C
A
M
M
K
A
H
But
the
fallacy
to
that
is
a
number
of
the
issues
that
we've
already
talked
about
and
and
are
yet
to
be
talked
about
and
should
be
considered,
are
items
that
the
people
on
that
committee
most
likely
aren't
even
going
to
know
our
issues
the
council
needs
to
be.
They
have
to
have
a
voice
in
that
somewhere
now,
not
a
directive,
but
a
voice
of
what
we
see.
Some
of
the
issues
are
we're
the
ones
closest
to
most
of
that.
H
I
K
Aunty
question
format:
can
that
be
structured
in
a
way
that
it's
not
doesn't
become
an
official
document
like
if
it's
or
is
it
official
once
we
put
it
together
and
give
it
to
them,
even
though
it
all
it,
they
don't
have
to
look
at
it.
They
can
throw
it
away
or
whatever,
but
it's
what
they
were
talking
about,
my
two
things
that
we've
noticed
or
are
concerned
about.
I,
do
you
understand
what
they're
saying
like
they're
saying
like
handout
everybody?
A
bullet,
pointed
sheet
of
suggestions
that
the
council
has.
K
Perhaps
just
you
know,
considerations
or
whatever
that
the
council
is
perhaps
given
to
you
as
liaison,
and
it
could
be
passed
out
as
please
take
a
look
at
these
things
in
regards
to
where
you're
going
with
I
mean.
Is
that
doable
because
it
they
could
throw
it
away
if
they
want
to
do
I
mean
or
does
it
become
part
of
the
official
meeting
I.
J
Guess
I
don't
see
any
reason
why
you
couldn't
make
your
opinions
known
necessarily
I,
think
the
best
way
to
go
about
it
would
be
to
whoever
whoever
the
Chairman
ends.
Up
being
you
know,
Jim
Roby
was
this
last
time
give
that
person
the
direction,
then
hey
here's
some
issues
that
the
council
and
staff
maybe
have
seen
that
may
want
to
be
addressed.
That
way.
That
person
in
leading
those
meetings
can
can
steer
the
conversation
towards
the
issues
that
may
or
may
not
be
wanted
to
be
addressed
by
the
Commission.
C
Only
question,
or
maybe
just
comments,
is
that
if
we
are
allowed
to
go
say
sit
in
the
audience
if
they
were
to
cook
to
have
questions,
you
know
they
could
ask
direct
questions
to
a
councilmember.
That's
my
I.
Don't
want
to
influence
any
decision
that
I
want
that
to
be
as
independent
as
possible,
but
if
they
have
a
question
you
know.
Is
this
something
that
you've
seen
or
is
this
something
that
you
know?
D
A
M
J
E
I
Assuming
you
know
taking
our
input
along
with
your
own
thoughts.
Well,
we
now
be
seeing
at
our
next
meeting
of
the
draft
of
an
of
an
ordinance
for
a
first
reading
or
what's
kind
of
walk
us
through
the
process.
As
far
as
changes
to
the
ordinance,
not
the
Home
Rule
Charter
Review,
but
the
ordinance
itself.
J
A
M
The
process
for
this
I
don't
know
I'm,
not
sure
how
we
do
that.
Would
we
I
mean
I
would
assume
each
of
us
would
study
again.
Most
of
us
probably
read
the
Home
Rule
Charter
more
than
once,
but
would
we
review
that
and
then
each
one
individually
bring
that
to
to
you
Matt
or
would
there
be
a
group,
some
small
group,
or
that
we
could
meet
to
do
that?
I,
don't
know
what
the
right
process
might
be
for
that,
because
somehow
or
another
we're
going
to
have
to
get
these
concerns
or
suggestions
to
to
you.
M
J
M
J
I
would
be
happy
to
be
the
repository
for
for
those
for
those
thoughts.
I
mean
we
all
obviously
can't
meet
as
a
group
beside
down
here,
and
so,
if
anybody
wants
to
submit
things
in
writing
to
me,
that's
fine
or
we
can
I,
can
meet
with
small
groups
of
council
to
have
those
discussions
and
record
those
record
your
thoughts.
It's
really
you
know
up
to
you.
H
Here,
probably
a
couple
months
ago,
when
we
met
to
discuss
beginning
of
this
process
for
the
ordinance
review
related
to
home
little
charter,
the
home
world
charter
and
then
concerns
that
I
and
I
know
others
have
had
in
this
I
thought
at
that
meeting.
What
we
were
going
to
present
to
the
council
was
to
to
get
a
group
from
representative
here
with
some
staff
to
sit
down
and
identify
the
items.
H
H
H
H
Right,
it
seems
it
just
seems
to
me
like
if
11
of
us
either
do
or
don't
think
about
it
and
present
something
and
presented
in
different
ways.
It
seems
like
it
could
get
a
little
bit
messy
or
helter-skelter
from
from
Matt
or
whoever
the
gatekeeper
of
this
is.
It
seemed
like
we
should
have
a
a
unified
approach
to
this,
and
that
would
be
a
small
committee
whatever.
That
number
is
of
us
presenting
that
back
to
the
council.
H
H
We
pretty
much
know
what
those
issues
are
that
I'm
not
sure
what
else
would
get
added
to
that,
but
we
could
bring
that
up
and
I
think
then
becomes
the
formalization
of
those
those
items.
Those
bullet
points,
along
with
you,
know,
a
justification
or
a
reasoning
for
why
we
feel
it
is
something
that
should
be
considered
I.
Don't
think
that
would
take
that
long
for
us
to
do.
Quite
frankly,
no.
A
I,
probably
the
time-consuming
part
would
be
talking
to
other
communities
who
have
changed
their
formal
government
or
have
whatever
it
is
that
we're
considering
or
wanting
to
be
considered
reaching
out
to
them
and
hearing
back
from
them
and
compiling
the
information.
That
would
be
the
time
consuming,
not
just
coming
up
with
the
idea
of
what
you
want.
The
group
to
consider
council
heart,
I
guess.
I
H
You'd
mentioned
about
about
discussing
some
things
with
the
communities.
Well,
we
don't
want
Glenn
doing
that
on
his
own
and
Dan
doing
it
with
the
same
people
and
Mike
doing
it
or
Beth,
and
it's
not
a
coordinated
effort
on
that
where
they
go,
and
you
just
got
a
call
from
a
Glanville
hour.
You
know
cuz
we're
most
likely
I,
think
that
has
to
be
for
some
of
those
issues
and
I
think
those
are
pretty
minor,
there's
a
couple
of
them
that
that
would
undoubtedly
need
to
be
a
coordinated
effort.
There.
M
A
M
A
H
A
H
Don't
know
why,
but
I
want
to
talk
about
that.
This,
for
a
second
I
know,
that's
been
thrown
about
a
number
of
times
since
I've
been
on
the
council
as
to
how
do
you
have
a
community,
the
size
of
our
town?
You
have
ten
council
members,
I,
don't
know
I
mean
it's
been
tense
in
sight,
rosed
my
hand
and
got
a
petition,
and
that's
where
rad
doesn't
mean
it's
right.
H
It
doesn't
mean
it's
wrong,
but
I
will
say
that
I
can
only
think,
maybe
once
or
twice
since
I've
been
on
council
that
we
that
we
were
absent
a
quorum
of
a
formal
council
meeting.
So
it's
not
a
matter
of
getting
a
quorum
in
my
but
I
do
think.
Our
counsel
is
very
active
not
just
in
evaluating
the
the
budget
and
and
approving
contracts
and
budget
items
and
working
with
ordinance
changes.
H
I
And
I've
heard
those
same
comments
and
I.
Think
I've
heard
him
directly
from
you
mayor
on
different
occasions
to
comments
that
you've
made
not
that
you're
necessarily
making
that
suggestion,
but
you
just
threw
the
idea
out
and
I
know
it's
being
publicized.
The
public
opinion
area
I
can
think
of
a
column
that
was
written,
probably
a
couple
different
columns
that
was
written
the
within
the
last
year.
I
What
an
editorial
and
one
I
believe
was
I
shouldn't
say
that
one
may
have
been
Brad
Johnson
but
I'm
I'm,
not
sure
in
that,
but
I
know
there
was
least
one
that
specifically
made
that
comment
about
hey.
Do
it?
Do
we
look
at
change
the
no.of,
our
councilmembers
I
share
those
same
concerns.
I
know
what
other
communities
do
have
as
far
as
members
on
the
council,
but
right
I
mean
that
there's
a
lot
more.
I
That
goes
on
in
the
work
that
we
do
other
than
sitting
here
and
making
decisions
twice
a
month,
and
you
start
to
cut
you
start
to
cut
down
that
number
and
we
try
to
the
same
amount
of
work.
All
of
a
sudden
you've
got
less
bodies
trying
to
same
amount
of
work
and,
as
we
all
know,
this
is
not
a
twice
twice
a
month
three
for
our
job.
It's
a
lot
more
than
that,
so
I
too
am
reluctant
to
look
at
changing
the
number
of
members
that
we
have
on
this
group.
Well,.
A
I
have
to
say
this:
there
are
some
council
members
that
put
in
very
long
hours
serving
the
public
and
to
reduce
the
number
of
people
that
actually
come
to
all
their
committee
assignment
meetings
and
then
do
homework
as
well
and
report
back
that.
That
would
be
a
hardship
to
try
and
spread
that
on
fewer
people,
but
I've
lived
and
worked
in
a
community
that
had
that
was
you
know
much
larger
than
Watertown
and
had
five
wards.
A
K
K
You
know
having
at
least
you
know,
okay
I'm
going
to
use
my
word,
for
example,
it's
a
very
small
word.
It's
primarily
of
a
very
big
mix
of
industrial
and
commercial
small
areas
of
residential
and
at
times,
I
wonder
if
it
wouldn't
be
better
to
have
one
councilmember
in
one
at
large.
You
know
I
mean
so
there
are
some
options,
you
know
just
to
get
the
quality
of
people.
K
M
M
You
know
some
of
us
have
full-time
jobs,
some
folks
are
retired
and
that's
gonna
go
on
for
as
long
as
we
have
City
Council's,
so
some
people
have
more
time
that
they
can
dedicate
to
the
different
issues
than
others
and
but
to
allow
us
to
be
more
effective
and
give
people
the
opportunity
to
work
on
to
do
a
good
job
at
working
on
specific
committees,
instead
of
being
spread
out
all
over
the
place.
I
think
the
number
is
the
right
number
and
I
and
I
like
the
two
people,
as.
I
L
L
H
Only
comment
I
would
make.
It
is
because
I
agree
with
with
basa.
Is
that
I
think
one
of
the
big
differences
is
our
staffing
and
structure,
and
that
will
dictate
a
lot
as
to
how
much
your
counsel
is
actually
involved
in
the
day-to-day,
and
this
counsel,
for
the
most
part,
pretty
darned
active
in
the
day-to-day
that,
for
the
most
part,
doesn't
get
seen
or
noticed
by
by
the
public
that
we
do.
H
Those
things
I
agree
with
Bruce,
but
if
I
were
to
make
one
change,
I
would
reduce
it
by
one
and
I
would
have
four
wards,
two
representatives
and
one
and
at
large
within
the
community,
so
that
you
had
an
odd
number,
not
an
even
number,
because
if
you
get
everybody
coming
to
the
meetings
and
we
get
into
a
gridlock
here
or
you're
the
one
in
certain
cases
that
makes
the
decisive
vote
right
and
I
think
that
in
most
cases,
that
should
be
the
council.
And
so,
if
you
were
gonna,
make
a
change.
H
I
know
that
I
know
that's
cuz.
We
tell
people
not
to
come
so
that
we
have
an
odd
number.
No,
but
I'm.
Just
saying
structurally
were
set
up
for
the
mayor
to
make
the
tie
assuming
everything
was.
Everybody
was
perfect
in
our
attendance
and
whereas
I'm
saying
I
think
your
council
should
be.
If
we're
gonna
make
a
change,
it
should
be
an
odd
number,
and
you
have
one
at
large
for
four
Ward's
to
to
represent
this
reach,
but
I'm
good
with
where
we're
at
oftentimes
I
asked.
The
question
of
people
is:
what
is
it?
H
D
H
A
G
Well,
I'm
gonna
try
my
best
tonight
at
the
council
meeting
Troy
with
William
Neal
who's.
The
auditor
will
be
here
to
go
over
the
actual
audit,
but
I
did
have
a
request
to
just
kind
of
go
over
the
kafir',
as
we
call
it
the
comprehensive
annual
financial
report
and
just
to
point
out
a
few
things
I'm
sure
you've
all
read
it
front
to
back
so,
but
it's
my
to
touch
on
a
few
things
so
kind
of
the
way
the
kafirs
set
up
is
one
of
the
first
parts
of
it
is
the
management's
discussion
analysis.
G
G
It
also
does
a
great
job
of
kind
of
summarizing,
some
of
the
major
changes
that
took
place
for
that
year.
So
if
somebody
wants
to
just
kind
of
see
what
happened
and
it's
more
of
a
condensed
without
looking
at
financial
statements,
the
MDNA
is
really
a
nice
nice
one
to
look
at
the
next
one
that
most
like
to
review
is
page
28
and
30.
Those
are
the
balance
sheet
and
the
statement
of
revenue
and
expenditures
for
our
governmental
funds.
That's
where
the
general
fund
sits
in
the
capital
improvement
fund
are
in
17.
G
We
like
to
see
that
that's
always
good
when
we
continue
to
grow
the
fund
balance
versus
take
away
from
it.
Another
interesting
point
is:
if
you
would
look
at
those
and
then
if
you
go
further
in
the
book,
its
page
67
and
68,
that's
an
interesting
group
of
spreadsheets,
that's
our
budget
actuals,
and
that
then
shows
you
for
the
general
fund
and
the
capital
improvement
fund
for
the
budget
of
17.
We
start
out
with
our
original
and
then
it
goes
to
any
amendments
that
were
made
to
the
budget,
and
then
it
shows
the
final.
G
G
When
you
look
at
the
governmental
funds,
one
thing
that's
kind
of
tough
is
the
special
revenue
funds
are
kind
of
all
grouped
together
and
one
big
number.
So
if
you
actually
want
to
dive
in
and
see
what
the
special
revenue
funds
had
as
far
as
their
balance
sheet
in
their
statement
of
revenues
and
expenditures,
that's
page,
80
and
82
covers
that.
That
would
be
the
park
and
Rec
the
BBB
fund,
the
Wellness
Center.
That's
where
you're
gonna
see
the
detail
of
those
instead
of
just
the
basic
financial
statements
at
the
beginning.
G
Another
very
interesting
part
of
the
kafir'
is
page.
112
starts
the
statistical
section
of
the
kafir'.
That's
a
great
place.
If
you
want
to
see
anything,
that's
happened
in
the
last
ten
years.
It
covers
everything
from
our
changes
of
our
fund
balance,
property,
tax
valuation,
property
tax
rates,
the
other
one
that
I
know
a
lot
of
people
have
been
asking
recently
is
about
the
debt.
Debt
has
become
kind
of
a
question
table
13
its
page
126
of
the
kafir.
That
shows
our
debt
over
the
last
10
years,
and
it
also
shows
our
available
debt
capacity.
G
G
Now
we
want
to
be
careful
to
when
we
see
that
number
that
just
because
we
have
the
capacity
doesn't
mean
we
have
the
cash
flow
to
cover
that.
So
you
got
a
you
want
to
take
that
with
a
grain
of
salt,
because
that's
a
pretty
high,
that's
saying
we
can
have
up
to
85
million
of
debt,
but
you
have
to
have
the
cash
flow
to
pay
for
those
loans.
So
then
the
other
part
of
the
kafir',
that
is,
for
anybody
who's,
seeing
numbers
on
the
financial
statements
but
wants
to
have
a
little
bit
more
detail.
G
The
notes
section
of
the
kafir'
it
starts
on
page
39.
That's
really
the
the
section
of
the
kafir'
that
you
can
see.
So
if
you
want
to
know
what
all
the
receivables
are,
that'll
dive
in
to
the
different
types
of
receivables,
the
interest
receivable
accounts,
receivable
items
like
that
you
can
see
it
for
the
funds
it
also.
If
you
want
to
know
what
each
one
of
the
loans
looks
like
as
far
as
the
principal
and
interest
payment
and
when
those
loans
will
become
when
they
mature-
that's
all
in
there.
G
So
the
notes
section
is
kind
of
your
detail.
So
if
you
look
at
the
face
value
or
the
face
of
a
financial
statement-
and
you
want
to
kind
of
know
where
some
other
numbers
are
coming
from,
the
note
section
is
the
part
of
the
kafir'
that
you'd
really
want
to
look
at
to
identify
what
it's
kind
of
covering
so
like
I,
said.
G
Troy
will
be
here
at
the
council
meeting
to
give
the
actual
audit
report,
but
I
guess
what
I
would
say
is
if
somebody
just
kind
of
wanted
to
see
some
of
the
key
points
of
the
city,
I
think
the
MD&A
would
be
the
one
to
read.
It
gives
you
the
structure
of
how
our
city
set
up.
It
also
gives
some
key
changes
that
happen
in
that
current
year
and
then
I
think
the
statistical
is
kind
of
interesting
to
see
how
the
city
of
our
town
has
grown.
So
there.
I
To
thank
you,
Krishna
I
was
one
that
put
or
suggested
that
that
we
spend
a
few
minutes
doing
this
this
evening.
I
just
like
to
add
a
few
comments
to
one
of
the
things
that
I
know.
The
finance
office
doesn't
like
to
Pat
itself
on
the
back,
but
there's
one
page
in
here
where
they
receive
certificate
of
achievement
for
excellence
in
a
financial
reporting.
It
comes
from
the
government
finance
office,
OCA
ssin
this
for
the
2016
report.
That
was
a
35th
year
in
a
row
that
that
our
finance
office
has
received
that
award.
I
So
kudos
to
the
finance
office
over
the
years,
something
else
indigent
royal
Hill
hit
on
this
to
me
and
important
and
I
guess
as
an
accountant
by
trade.
The
independent
auditors
report
is
critical
in
here
and
again.
Troy
I'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
later,
but
we
were
given
a
what
I
would
call
a
clean
opinion
by
the
William
Neal
firm
as
far
as
they're
very
they're,
the
procedures
that
they
did
in
conjunction
to
2017
audit
I.
Think
that's
that's
important
that
this.
I
This
is
the
one
time
or
the
one
document
where
we
see
our
city
finances,
pull
together.
Sure
we
go
through
the
budgeting
process.
You
know
we
talked
about
sales
tax.
We
see
sales
tax
revenue
numbers
every
every
month.
We
approve
the
bills
as
part
of
our
consent
agenda
every
month,
but
this
is
the
one
time
that
we
do
get
a
comprehensive
look
at
our
city
finance.
So
this
that
this
is
an
important
document
and
I
would
encourage
us,
as
council
members
and
the
public
in
general.
Take
a
look.
That's
an
awful
lot
of
information
here.
