14th

southeast
for
the
period
of
July,
1st
2019
to
June
30th
2020,
look
for
a
motion
and
second
for
approval
move
by
Bueller
second
by
l'olam
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
anyone
that
here
to
speak
about
this
issue,
see
none
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
A
A
C
May
need
Ryan
to
help
too,
but
they
were
actually
here
before.
This
was
one
of
those
where
we
were
questioning
the
one
time
why
they
have
to
show
up
for
both
they
did
come
before
you
when
they
renewed
their
liquor.
So
this
is
the
same
violation,
not
a
new
violation,
but
they
have
to
have
a
public
hearing
for
each
license.
Okay,.
A
A
F
E

Anyone
else
all
right,
all
those

kind

so
I
look

all
those

signify
by
saying

Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion

Thank
you
item.
6
is
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
19-0
4
to
amend
sections,
21-point,
2602
and
21-point
2802,
allowing
recreational
use
as
a
permitted
use
within
the
c2
local
commercial
district
and
c3
highway
commercial
district
subject
to
all
planning
requirements.
A
H
Thank
you
mayor
this
being
the
second
reading
of
this.
What
I
would
call
a
zoning
text
amendment
we're
amending
the
allowable
uses
in
the
c2
and
c3
districts
by
the
passing
of
this
ordinance
and
in
particularly
relates
to
recreational
uses
in
hollar
defined
in
our
current
code.
We've
found
over
the
recent
past
few
years
that
it's
it's
hard
to
categorize
and
allow
recreational
uses
in
any
one
of
our
zoning
districts.
With
exception
to
the
conditional
use
that
they're
currently
allowed
in
in
the
c1
zoning
district.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
So
a
recreational
use
is
a
place
designed
and
equipped
for
the
conduct
of
sports,
leisure
time
activities
and
other
customary
and
usual
recreational
activities,
either
active
or
passive,
as
operated
by
as
a
business
and
open
to
the
public
14
years
of
age
and
older.
That's
recreational
facility,
commercial
recreational
use
is
a
place
designed
and
equipped
for
the
conduct
of
sports,
leisure
time
activities
and
other
customary
and
usual
recreational
activities,
including
active
and
sedentary
activities.
A
So
there
they're
similar,
we
do
have
we've
we've
issued
some
permits
for
these
types
of
uses,
seeing
that
they
were
similar
to
other
uses
in
the
district
within
some
parts
of
our
town.
Already.
I
think
this
kind
of
makes
it
clear
that
we
think
it's
okay
and
just
to
make
it
clear
for
everybody
that
is
okay
for
everybody.
G
H
Thank
You
councilman
Roby,
madam
mayor
in
the
I
districts
in
the
I
one
I
believe
it
is.
We
do
allow
a
conditional
use
of
a
commercial
recreational
facility
and,
as
you'll
note
on
the
definition
there,
that
those
types
of
facilities
are
only
eligible
for
the
use
of
April
14
years
of
age
or
older,
and
that
is
currently
the
only
conditional
use
related
to
recreational
uses
in
any
of
the
I
districts
so
and
I
want.
It
is
allowable
as
a
conditional
use
in
under
the
commercial
recreational
facility.
Definition.
A
A
Seeing
none
I'll
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Item
number
7
is
resolution.
Number
19
19,
adopting
the
district
boundaries
and
tax
increment
plan
for
tax
increment
district
number,
7
city
of
Watertown,
South
Dakota,
an
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
the
development
agreement
with
Tareq's,
South,
Dakota
Inc
and
any
other
documents
as
necessary.
So
look
for
emotion,
SEC
approval
moved
by
Ville
Hauer
second,
by.
I
Thank
you
mayor
as
you'll
recall
last
August,
the
city
agreed
in
a
project
development
agreement
to
pursue
a
seven
million
dollar
tax
increment
finance
district
as
part
of
our
one
of
our
incentives
for
Terrax
to
remain
in
our
community,
and
this
action
tonight
is
the
culmination
of
that
process
and
I
would
defer
now
to
tobe
Morris
of
Dougherty
and
company
who's.
Been
our
advisor
through
this
process
to
explain
what
we're
doing
here
tonight
and
answer
any
questions
that
the
council
may
have.
A
J
So
as
as
mr.
Roby
had
stated,
you
know
last
August
you
had
voted
to
proceed
with
this.
I
was
engaged
in
through
focus
Watertown
and
through
the
city
to
my
job
was
to
bring
it
all
together
to
make
sure
it
was
compliant
with
in
South
Dakota,
codified
law
to
make
sure
that
Department
of
Revenue
had
signed
off
on
it,
because
there's
now
a
let's
call
it
a
check
and
balances
that
have
put
in
place
for
tax
increments
throughout
the
state
and
then
also
working
with
the
company
to
ensure
we're
getting
the
right
information
from
them.
J
So,
ultimately
that
it's
it
can
be
passed
into
the
tax
increment
plan.
So
what
you
have
before
here
and
I'm,
assuming
they
all,
have
a
copy
or
I've
seen
a
copy,
and
maybe
what
I'm
going
to
do
is
I'm
going
to
pick
out
some
highlights
and
explain
why
we
put
those
in
there
not
only
for
the
benefit,
the
company
but
the
protection
of
the
city,
and
that's
really
what
my
job
is
representing
the
city
and
the
development
Corp
on
that.
So.
J
F
I
I
just
want
to
make
one
note
for
the
record
the
version
of
the
plan.
That's
on
the
agenda
was
inadvertently
not
the
most
recent
plan.
The
only
change
to
the
most
recent
plan
was
that
the
the
actual
end
value
is
7
million
13,000
to
account
for
our
consultants,
fees
and
so
the
plan
that's
attached
to
the
agenda
just
says:
seven
million
flat.
The
development
agreement
doesn't
count
for
that
13
additional
13,000,
but
just
an
FYI
okay.
J
So
as
I
go
through
this
here,
we
get
into
a
lot
of
the
writing.
This
is
more
to
Memorial
I.
Should
future
councils
want
to
look
back
on
it?
As
we
all
know,
why
was
this
created?
What
were
the
precedents
that
were
set
forth?
So
we
went
through
worked
with
the
Tareq's
company
to
put
information
that
was
very
specific
that
they
would
allow
when
you
work
with
a
publicly
traded
company.
You
have
to
be
extremely
careful
what
you
put
in
there,
and
so
this
was
all
been
approved
by
the
Tareq's
corporation.
J
J
The
first
thing
that
we
look
at
bylaws
is
says:
what
is
your
total
tips
that
are
outstanding
as
they've
been
used
as
an
economic
development
tool
in
the
past
and
will
be
used
in
the
future?
We
look
at
what
your
capacity
is
so
right.
Now
there
was
4.6
million
of
base
value.
State
law
says
you
can
do
10%,
which
means,
as
long
as
your
total
base
value
is
less
than
161
million.
You
can
still
proceed
with
tips.
J
This
obviously
isn't
an
issue
for
the
city
of
Watertown,
but
you
know
when
we
worked
with
Alpena
and
Jack
Link's
and
you
have
a
valuation
of
5
million.
This
can
become
a
little
stymied
on
that
so
far
as
for
future
reference,
as
you
proceed
with
other
tax,
increments,
I
don't
see
any
issue
with
that.
It's
not
infringing
at
all
on
your
tax,
increment
availability.
J
When
you
look
at
at,
if
you
have
about
seven
different
areas
that
you
can
classify
these
expenses,
you
have
the
street
water
sewer,
the
financing,
professional
admin,
relocation
organization
and,
lastly,
you
have
the
discretionary
costs.
The
reason
we
put
this
in
a
discretionary
cost
is
no
matter
how
many
discussions
myself,
Todd
Meyer
Henry,
have
with
legislative
audit
a
true
public
infrastructure
means
that
the
city
bids
it
out
they
hold
the
bid
they
hold
the
contract,
and
so
in
an
economic
development
tip
like
that.
J
That
creates
liability
on
your
side,
not
that
Tareq's
isn't
good
for
the
money.
But
once
again
you
create
that
liability
and
that
was
part
of
my
jobs
to
make
sure
there's
as
little
liability
on
your
site
as
possible.
So
what
we
did
is
Todd
Meyer
and
myself
went
and
lobbied
the
legislature
back
in
2013
and
said:
let's
just
call
it
what
it
is:
you're
doing
a
discretionary
grant
or
cost
to
the
company.
Now
in
the
development
agreement,
we
still
have
some
rules
that
must
be
followed.
J
J
It's
not
a
seven
million
dollar
developer
fee
by
any
means,
but
we
have
specific
costs
that
we
related
that
7
million
and
that's
what
I
spend
a
lot
of
my
time
on
the
last
couple
months
is
trying
to
quantify
what
that
seven
million
is
getting
projected
numbers
from
the
engineer
from
the
company
that
could
be
released
in
this
TIF
plan.
You'll
also
notice.
In
this
TIF
plan
there
is
not
a
financing
component,
meaning
there
is
no
interest
rate
associated
with
this.
So
it's
a
dollar
in
it's
a
dollar
out.
J
In
some
cases
we
can
see
a
TIF
that'll
say
it's
seven
million
plus
5%
interest.
That's
not
the
case
here.
It
goes
back
to
what
the
original
intent
was
to
help
Terrax
offset
those
extraordinary
infrastructure
costs
related
to
that,
and
so,
if
I
can
stress
anything,
it
is
at
0%.
So
there's
no
interest
cost
no
accruing
Kristin
will
really
love
it
when
it
comes
for
accounting
time
and
I.
Don't
get
calls
in
April
saying
if
they
made
a
payment
in
January
in
August
on
these
dates.
What's
their
outstanding
balance.
J
We
know
in
here
that
at
7
it's
seven
million
should
that
amount
ever
change,
it
has
to
come
back
to
the
council.
This
cannot
just
change
by
a
simple
developers,
agreement
or
the
company
wanting
more
so
that
is
the
base
amount,
and
that
is
what
put
forth
in
here.
These
are
things
that
we
have
to
show
from
the
visa.
Biller
said
the
economic
development
and
what
I'll
get
into
a
little
bit
later.
J
So
of
that
7
million
I'm
gonna
go
down
here.
This
is
what
the
total
project
eligible
or
total
project
costs
are.
Is
that
roughly
74
million,
if
I
were
to
break
it
back
by
quote
by
law?
I
could
probably
find
eligible
TIF
costs
anywhere
from
12
to
16
million,
but
that's
not
the
way
it
was
set
up.
So,
just
once
again
we're
going
back
to
what
was
set
up
and
what
was
said
and
what's
being
delivered.
J
How
did
I
come
up
with
that
7
million
as
well
for
justification
once
again
to
what
I'm
gonna
call
the
smell
test
is
working
with
the
engineers
working
with
the
company
I'm
going
to
scroll
down
here
a
little
bit
further
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
can
see
this.
These
would
all
be
eligible
to
F
costs.
We
know
just
within
the
site
work
itself.
J
Believe
we
asked
for
what
do
we
show
I
think
we
talked
in
the
developers
agreement
that
there
would
be
the
cooperation
back
and
forth
to
get
this,
but
I
can
say
without
a
doubt
that
7
million
will
easily
be
reached
when
we
can
say
it
was
related
to
infrastructure
within
the
what
the
codified
law
allows
and
stays
for
any
questions.
So
far,
I've
had
a
few
Express
was
driving
from
Pier.
J
So
if
I'm
talking
too
fast
just
let
me
know,
I'm
gonna
go
back
down
here
a
little
bit
further
and
show-
and
this
is
upside
down,
trying
to
find
a
comparable
building
in
the
state
of
South
Dakota
of
a
half
a
million
square
feet.
You
just
don't
really
look
to
your
neighbor
and
say
so,
based
on
this,
what
I
did
here
is
looked
at
your
base,
values
about
496
thousand
and
assume
that
this
building
was
going
to
be
assessed
at
22
million.
Now
the
key
to
this.
J
If
this
building
comes
in
less
than
that
22
and
it
doesn't
ever
pay
that
seven
million-
that's
not
the
liability
of
the
city.
If
this
building
comes
in
at
say,
30
million
and
those
payments
are
accelerated.
The
TIF
expires
when
one
of
two
things
happen
when
the
full
7
million
has
been
paid
or
at
the
end
of
20
years
from
creation.
So
this
here,
as
we
worked
with
the
company,
is
I
call
an
outside
con
unquantifiable.
If
you
want
to
call
it,
but
they
understood
it,
they
see
it
and
it's
really
something.
J
I
think
that
will
work
with
the
Assessor
and
probably
an
independent
appraiser,
eventually
down
the
line.
Cuz
like
I,
said:
there's
just
not
five
hundred
thousand
square
feet
that
you
can
just
go
and
compare
to
I
did
work
with
Department
of
Revenue.
They
did
sign
off
on
this
and
they
thought
that's
as
well
as
we're
gonna,
be
without
really
diving
into
the
details.
So
I've
always
been
a
numbers.
J
Guy
tried
to
get
exact,
as
I
can
bottom
line,
no
guys
if,
if
this
does
not
come
in
near
this
number,
there's
no
liability
on
the
city
part.
So
if
you
only
paid
out
four
million
and
in
2038
the
other
three
won't
get
paid,
it
expires
and
that's
clearly
stated
in
the
developer
agreement
that
the
city
is
not
liable
for
anything
on
that
part.
J
We
have
the
boundaries
we've
done
here
just
grown
down
here
we
know
it's
within
the
Comprehensive
Plan
I
was
before
your
Planning
and
Zoning
I
think
about
a
month
ago
where
they
had
approved.
It
worked
through
all
the
questions
and
and
saw
that
that
it
fit
within
the
technicalities
of
what
the
TIF
requires.
J
We
found
the
findings
that
it's
not
less
than
fifty
percent
area
of
real
property
to
be
considered
economic
development,
which
is
extremely
important,
because
if
it's
not
considered
economic
development,
it
essentially
has
the
potential
to
raise
taxes,
because
the
state
isn't
going
to
hold
the
school's
general
fund.
Harmless
I
can
stress
again
that
the
Department
of
Revenue
has
signed
off
on
this
as
economic
development
I
mean,
if
this
isn't
the
the
shining
light
in
case
for
economic
development,
I,
don't
know
what
be
so
we're
good
on
that
part.
J
Once
again,
we
go
through
what
our
assumptions
are,
how
we
came
up
with
here.
We
know
that
the
developer
we
elect
not
to
use
the
property,
the
real
property
discretionary
formula,
which
is
important-
that's
always
part
of
a
TIF,
it's
one
or
the
other,
and
in
this
case,
it'll
also
be
signed
off
in
the
developers
agreement
which
will
we'll
send
to
the
county
so
that
they
know
as
well
to
make
sure
it's
registered
over
there.
J
J
This
was
again
the
the
planning
and
zoning
the
conditions
were
requires
in
the
the
codified
law.
What
are
the
conditions
here
and
then,
as
we
get
down
in
here?
This
is
the
the
GIS
information
that
was
able
to
achieve
take
from
first
district
that
once
again
spells
out
the
district.
So
tonight
was
before
you
has
been
really
a
multiple
step
process
that
we
started
a
year
ago,
if
not
maybe
two
years
ago,
I'm
trying
to
think
but
where
it
was
passed
at
the
public
council
here
in
August.
J
Once
again,
I
came
back
in
November,
Planning
and
Zoning
here
last
month,
then
tonight,
once
if
the
council
approves
it,
I
will
then
take
it
and
file
it
with
Department
of
Revenue,
and
then
it
goes
into
effect.
I
think
that's
my
20,000
foot
overview
I
could
get
to
5,000
foot
if
the
council
wishes,
but
could.
J
Happens
is
when
you
pay
your
taxes,
the
the
amount,
let's
just
say,
for
simple
sake:
Tarek's
pays
$100
that
hundred
dollars
goes
into
the
county.
The
county
then
passes
it
to
the
city
that
full
amount.
What
was
called
the
base
of
the
base
is
five
dollars.
The
city
receives
ninety
five
that
ninety
five
goes
to
Tareq's
and
then
that
ninety
five
has
been
subtracted
from
that
seven
million
dollars
on
a
dollar
in
dollar
out.
J
A
J
A
F
Totally
a
few
few
questions
and
comments.
First,
I
want
to
follow
up
on
the
mayor's
question.
So
again
we
are
purely
a
conduit
up
until
either
that
7
million
or
that
20
years,
whichever
is
come
first,
so
there
is
no
risk
to
this
city.
I
mean
if
you
said
that,
because
want
to
want
to
emphasize
that
right.
G
F
J
What's
considered
is
when
the
valuation
comes
in,
because
evaluation
then
determines
the
general
fund.
Tiff's
are
held
outside
of
that
formula
and
I'm
talking
just
purely
on
the
general
fund
basis.
So
all
of
us
in
the
state
of
South
Dakota
in
one
way
or
another,
are
helping
with
tax
increment
financing
because
it's
it
then
becomes
equalized
statewide.
So
the
schools
on
something
like
this,
whether
its
economic
development
or
workforce
housing,
which
is
another
component,
that's
been
allowed
in
the
tax
increment
district.
The
school's
general
fund
is
held
harmless
on
that.
Okay.
F
I've
heard
you
use
this
terminology
before
in
the
in
past
presentations
Toby,
but
for
I
mean
people
could
look
at
this
potential
as
being
okay,
a
huge
grant
or
a
subsidy
to
Tareq's,
but
but
but
you
we
wouldn't
have
those
revenues
or
those
tax
revenues
coming
in,
but
for
the
construction
out
there
and
again,
I've
heard
you
use
them
very
eloquently
in
the
past,
so
I
think
it's
important
note
that
were
not
for
this
development
out
there.
We
would
not
be
having
these
tax
revenues
come
in.
J
Did
absolutely
I
mean
I
would,
in
my
former
life,
I
worked
for
the
governor's
office.
Economic
development
and
I
would
have
hated
to
compete,
watertown
against
states
that
are
very
flush
with
cash,
because
I
could
only
imagine
the
incentives
that
were
offered
with
them
right
in
that
check
up
front.
So
this
is
really
our
primary
economic
development
tool.
We
have
in
South,
Dakota
and.
A
A
Item
number:
eight
is
council
consideration
of
resolution
number
19-21,
levying
a
reassessment
against
lot
two
and
lot
three
of
warren
development.
Addition
arising
from
street
improvement
project,
1801
dash
d
I'll
look
for
motion
second,
for
approval,
moved
by
manty
second
by
Albertson
and
I
would
like
that
says:
Matt
Matt,
you're
gonna
explain
this
I
was.
I
Can
certainly
take
it
if
you
like,
thank
you
Mary.
So
as
a
result,
a
call.
Last
year
we
finalized
an
assessment
on
property
adjacent
to
Walmart
on
26th
Street
southeast
on
October
15th.
We
did
finalize
that
assessment.
Since
the
assessment
was
was
levied.
The
developer
came
forward
and
said
that
their
intention
was
actually
to
to
subdivide
one
of
the
Lots
that
was
assessed
and
state
law
does
allow
us
to
set
aside
assessments
for
irregularities
and
or
if
it
doesn't
achieve
the
purpose
it
was
intended.
I
So
we
set
aside
that
assessment,
the
council
did
so
on
December
3rd
2018
and
in
the
interim,
the
developer
came
in
filed
their
plat
and
now
they've
subdivided
one
of
the
lots
that
was
originally
assessed
into
two
parcels
that
will
abut
the
improvement.
So
what
this
is
now
is
the
reassessment
to
take
the
seventy
thousand
seven
hundred
and
ten
dollars
and
sixty
seven
cents
and
divide
that
proportionally
now
between
the
two
Lots.
That
will
abut
those
two
about
that
improvement
and
I'd
stand
by
for
any
questions.
Great.
A
Thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
council?
I
don't
see
any
so
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
anyone
here
to
speak
about
this
issue,
see
none
I,
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
look
for
council
action
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item
number
nine
is
resolution
number
19-22
for
the
creation
of
public
works
department
and
establishing
the
city
engineer
as
the
director
of
Public,
Works
and
Heath.
A
Okay,
so
the
reason
that
I'm
doing
this
is
we
have
no
public
works
department.
We
used
to
have
a
public
works
department
until
2009
when
the
Public
Works
Department
was
disbanded,
the
public
works
director
was
the
position
was
eliminated
and
the
mayor
declared
himself
to
be
the
Public
Works
Director,
and
then
each
of
those
departments
would
each
for
those
divisions
which
were
part
of
the
public
works
departments.
Then
became
standalone
departments.
A
The
city
engineer
is
also
well
qualified
to
be
a
public
works
director.
He
has
that
background.
He
has
actually
served
as
a
public
works
director
in
a
different
community,
and
most
civil
engineers
are
well
versed
in
all
of
the
different
areas
of
Public
Works
and
that's
part
of
our
training
and
education
is
to
be
knowledgeable
about
the
waste
water,
solid
waste
streets,
stormwater
planning,
all
of
those
things
fall
under
our
education.
A
So
it's
a
logical
subdivision
to
put
those
underneath
the
engineering
department
and
if,
in
the
future
we
decide
to
have
a
separate
person,
a
separate
position
as
a
public
works
director
separate
from
the
city
engineer,
we
can
do
that
at
a
later
date.
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
right
now,
I
just
want
to
put
that
back
into
a
licensed
civil
engineers
hands
and
allow
the
supervision
to
be
handled.
That
way
in
in
the
departments
which
are
going
underneath.
The
Public
Works
Department
include
the
street
department,
waste
water
and
solid
waste,
Airport
engineering.
A
Of
course,
the
Upper
Big
Sioux
watershed
project
and
did
I
forget
building
services,
and
those
are
all
departments
which
used
to
be
under
the
public
works
departments.
With
the,
with
the
exception
of
the
upper
Big,
Sioux
River
watershed
project
that
wasn't
under
the
Public
Works
Department
in
the
past,
but
it
is
a
public
work
kind
of
department.
A
This
is
the
correct
way
to
go
in
my
opinion
and
I
know
it's
hard
to
see
on
those
two
screens,
but
this
green
on
the
left
is
what's
in
our
budget
book
as
our
department
organization
and
the
screen
on
the
right
shows
the
change.
So
it
does
dramatically
reduce
the
number
of
direct
reports
to
the
mayor.
A
A
G
Roby,
when
I
ran
for
my
second
term
couple
years
ago,
I
went
on
the
record
of
supporting
reinstating
the
public
works
director
I
think
there
was
an
efficiency
game
there
that
we
should
have.
We
should
consider.
The
question
I
have
today
is
I'm,
also
on
the
record
of
me
in
favor
of
the
city
manager.
How
does
this
affect
the
city
manager
snare?
We
got
coming
up
here
that
we're
voting
on
in
a
couple
of
months.
This.
A
Has
no
bearing
on
that
decision
communities
like
we'll
just
take
Aberdeen,
for
instance,
has
a
city
manager
and
a
public
works
director,
and
it
a
city
manager
would
probably
do
this
immediately
if
it
hadn't
been
done
prior,
it's
it's
not
changing
the
things
that
get
done
in
any
way.
It's
changing
the
reporting
structure
and
grouping
different
sub
departments
together
to
become
one
department,
a
team,
so
I,
don't
think
it
has
any
effect
whatsoever
on
whether
we
go
with
a
city
manager
or
not.
G
I
think
it's
important
to
understand,
because
we've
got
a
big
decision
coming
up
here
in
two
months
and
I.
Don't
want
the
public
to
think
that
well
we're
putting
a
public
works
director
and
therefore
we
don't
need
a
city
manager
or
vice
versa.
Everything
look
I
just
wanted
to
be
interpreted
accurately
whatever,
however,
they
want
to
vote
so
right,
I.
Just
it's
got
to
be
clear
that
if
we
approve
this,
it
does
not
in
any
way
affect
the
city
manager
decision.
That's.
A
A
fair
state
that
is
fair
and
correct,
and
if,
if
we
decide
to
go
with
a
city
manager,
you
know
that
that
person
will.
This
is
a
logical
arrangement
of
departments.
This
is
what
they'll
be
familiar
with.
It's
highly
unusual
to
have
this
many
departments
as
direct
reports
to
a
mayor,
that's
or
to
a
city
manager.
For
that
matter,
the
city
manager
is
probably
going
to
have.
You
know
five
to
ten
direct
reports
and
we
have
more
than
that
right
now,
which
which
makes
it
cumbersome
you
you
just
don't
have
an
expert.
K
A
The
downside
is
that
we
would
continue
on
with
the
way
that
we're
going
right
now,
which
I
think
is
highly
inefficient
and
I've
been
saying.
This
was
one
of
my
campaign
platform
issues,
actually
that
we
should
look
at
some
reorganization
and
that
the
mayor
should
not
be
acting
as
the
Public
Works
Director
I.
Personally,
as
part
of
the
reason
I
ran
because
I
am
qualified
to
be
a
public
works
director
and
I
know
what
that
means
and
I
think
we
are
fooling
ourselves.
A
If
we
think
that
someone
can
be
elected
and
fill
that
role,
I
I
just
don't
think
that's
appropriate
unless
you're
electing
someone
who's
got
a
background
in
public
works,
so
I
would
say
we're
just
wasting
time
if
we
don't
do
it
now.
But
if
you
know,
if
you
wanted
to
wait
until
the
vote
passes
just
a
few
months,
that
would
probably
not
matter
much
but
waiting
for
two
years.
If
we,
the
city
manager,
Orton,
let
that
I
don't
know
why
you
would
do
that.
That
makes
no
sense
to
me.
A
F
L
F
A
Well
and
part
of
my
motivation
and
getting
this
done
now
was
because
we're
about
to
embark
on
a
wage
study
and
every
one
of
our
positions
is
about
to
be
rated
in
terms
of
its
organization
and
the
role
that
the
individual
position
place
and
so
I
wanted
it
to
be
done
before
we
did
that.
But
we
can
proceed
with
our
wage
study
and
ask
the
consultant
to
rate
it
both
ways
and-
and
that
would
be
fine
with
me
if,
if
you're
fine
with
that,
there
might
be
a
slight
added
cost.
K
You
I
think
it's
going
to
complicate
the
education
process
for
the
city
manager
vote
and
the
second
thing
is
we
have.
We
do
have
that
study
coming
back,
which
I
would
hope
that
if
there
there
would
be
some
recommendation
to
go
in
that
direction?
If
that's
what
their
assessment
came
to
you
so
I'm,
when
it
would,
we
expect
that.
K
C
I
would
say
with
the
election
being
in
June.
Excuse
me:
the
wage
studies
gonna
start
here
in
a
lot
of
week
and
their
first
step
will
be
just
job
descriptions
and
kind
of
meeting
with
the
department.
So
I
would
say
if
whatever
comes
out
of
the
election,
if
we
let
them
know,
they'll
have
some
time
to
look
at
our
organizational
structure
at
that
time.
F
Guess
I'd
like
to
address
this
question
to
Heath
I
mean
you'd,
be
the
one
that
would
be
directly
impacted
on
this,
as
well
as
the
mayor
from
a
time
from
a
time
commitment
I
mean
all
the
sudden
you've
got.
Oh
an
awful
lot
of
departments
reporting
to
that.
You
have
not
had
in
the
past
and
that's
got
to
be
taking
a
large
amount
of
time.
I
would
guess
mean
what
would
you
mind
at
justa,
commenting
or
addressing
from
your
perspective,
Heath
absolutely.
H
Thank
you
for
that
councilman
ville,
our
madam
mayor.
The
my
impressions
of
this
organizational
structure
is,
is
that
it
does
bring
a
lot
of
efficiencies
that
I've
observed
in
water
tone
of
us
lacking
and
again
this
this
comes
down
to
operations
and
efficiencies,
not
having
anything
to
do
with
the
people
in
place.
Right
now,
because
plugging
this
in
right
now,
I
think
would
be
seamless
with
the
staff
that
we
have
at
hand
these
current
Department
ads
that
would
become
managers
under
the
public
works.
Divisions
are
outstanding.
H
Individuals
that
are
very
well-versed
in
their
fields
and
their
expertise
that
they
have
in
those
fields
would
be
utilized
as
a
strength
within
a
department
as
a
whole.
As
far
as
the
additional
time
commitments,
I
I
do
recognize
that
there
would
be
additional
requirements
a
little
bit
more
taxing
on
my
time
to
deal
with
the
department
head
level
issues
for
all
these
divisions
of
Public
Works.
H
Now
that
being
said,
if
you
look
at
how
you
see
things
come
forward
to
you
meet
every
meeting
through
and
throughout,
and
how
engineering
currently
is
already
intertwined,
and
so
many
of
these
divisions
I
do
see
a
lot
to
function,
a
lot
of
the
ways
it
does.
Currently,
we
continue.
We
I
the
City
Engineer
/
Public,
Works
Director
will
continue
to
help
manage
all
the
construction
projects,
all
the
bidding
phases
of
the
the
work
that
these
departments
do.
H
What
I'm
getting
at
is
I
think
there
would
be
some
give-and-take
in
that
process
to
where
it
wouldn't
be
as
taxing
that
it
wouldn't
be
accomplishable,
particularly
when
we
get
fully
staffed
in
engineering
I
could
see
the
efficiencies
continue
to
be
gained
in
this
structure.
But
that
being
said,
you
know,
I
am
in
full
support
of
this
I'm
in
full
support
of
waiting
in
the
wings
till
this
transpired
down
the
road.
I
love
this
organizational
structure,
I've
seen
it
work.
H
Well,
I
worked
in
in
this
capacity
before
in
previous
communities
in
a
related,
similar
position,
another
in
other
communities.
So
my
credentials
are
there
and
you
know
those
kind
of
things
I,
don't
think
council
would
have
any
concern
with
private
glad
to
share
those
pieces
of
information
with
you
as
well
as
requested
so
I
have.
M
Would
it
make
sense
for
us
to
hold
often
I
mean
if
you're
in
the
hiring
process?
For
another
engineer,
I,
don't
know
how
far
off
that
is,
you
know,
but
that
would
certainly
I
would
would
assume
that
would
give
you
probably
more
time
resources
to
do
this.
I.
Don't
think
this
is
a
bad
idea.
I
think
probably
a
good
idea.
I
do
I
would
say
that
I
think
it
is
also
a
premature
I'd
like
to
see
this
because
of
the
confusion
issue.
M
You
know,
I
think
it
would
be
better
to
hold
off
until
after
the
election,
but
I
do
I
think
it
makes
sense
that
that's
a
lot
of
reports
that
she's
got
right
now,
but
just
think
about
that
I
mean.
Is
it
something
we
want
to
defer
until
we've
got
that
person
in
place,
because
it's
definitely
going
to
increase
your
workload
there?
In
my
opinion
and
I
agree
1%,
we
got
great
people,
so
they
shouldn't
be
increasing
the
workload
that
bad
right
now,
but
I
think
it
would
be
perhaps
beneficial
to
you
to
have
somebody
on.
A
D
Okay,
I
have
no
problem
with
he's
doing
it.
I
do
think
that
we
look
at
potentially
as
someone
looking
it's
like.
Well,
we're
gonna
have
a
public
works
director
we
have
city
manager,
I,
think
you
need
both
honestly
I'm
concerned
with
them
off
lack
of
people
that
you
have
Heath.
That
is
that's
concern
of
mine
and
then
taking
on
additional
people
and
I
understand.
We
can't
wait
forever
either
so
I
mean
to
wait
60
days,
I
believe
as
Mike
says,
I
have
no
issue
with
that.
I.
J
A
H
Mayor
in
regards
to
the
workload
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
obviously
I've
been
in
discussions
with
the
mayor
about
this
plan
and
even
prior
to
those
discussions.
Might
you
know
my
wheels
have
been
turning
on
ideas
and
some
of
those
ideas
I
personally
can't
implement
because
they
don't
have
oversight
of
these
other
divisions.
But
I
do
see
some
low
hanging
fruit
on
gaining
efficiencies.
From
the
moment
that
this
switch
is
thrown
and
I.
H
D
H
Action
there
there
are
some
communications
that
come
to
me
frequently
that
I
could
see
gaining
efficiencies
and
going
to
and
through
the
divisional
managers,
putting
a
few
new
tasks
on
them
to
help
in
the
decision
making
process
for
some
of
the
stuff
that
I
currently
see,
even
though
I'm
not
a
public
works
director,
so
that
that
all
goes
hand
in
hand
with
that
engineering
being
so
tighten
it
with
public
works
that
the
stuff
that
we
do
is.
Is
you.
D
H
F
I
A
A
A
A
A
N
This
is
a
this:
is
a
miscellaneous
service
agreement
not
to
exceed
$25,000.
This
is
for
anything
that
pops
up
throughout
the
year.
The
FAA
wants
this
in
place,
so
we
do
have
an
engineering
firm.
We
can
call.
This
is
the
hourly
rates
they
have
like
I
said
not
to
exceed
$25,000
with
Helms
&.
Associates.
We've
been
doing
this
for
as
long
as
I've
been
here.
A
A
G
A
L
N
A
A
The
state
there
was
a
request
for
the
state
legislative
body
to
make
some
changes
to
our
rules,
to
take
away
the
municipalities,
ability
to
grow
and
negotiate
with
the
electric
providers
outside
of
city
limits.
So
everything
in
our
state
is
divvied
up
into
territories
and
everyone
has
a
defined
territory,
including
the
city
and
the
city
is
a
little
different.
A
The
investor-owned
utilities
have
territories
and
the
rural
electrics
have
territories,
and
their
territories
are
often
side-by-side,
so
they
put
their
infrastructure
in
and
it's
clear
who
gets
what
and
they
don't
generally
grow.
But
a
municipality
does
grow
over
time
and
we
serve
more
than
just
electric
utility.
We
we
have
police
and
fire
protection,
we
have
other
utilities,
and
our
urban
boundaries
are
more
than
just
electric
service.
So
for
us
to
have
parts
of
our
community
which
are
served
by
another
entity,
then
a
community
is
is
not
good
for
us.
A
So
what
that
does
is
it
enables
us
to
offer
the
electric
rates
which
are
hard
to
beat
and
that's
an
economic
development
tool
both
for
our
city
and
for
our
whole
state,
because
we
can
generally
offer
lower
utility
rates
than
any
investor
owned
or
Rural
Electric
Company,
just
because
we
have
so
many
tightly
gritted
customers,
and
we
use
that
to
our
advantage
by
attracting
businesses
who
don't
just
want
the
electric
service.
They
want
everything
that
comes
with
the
package
of
being
part
of
the
municipality.
A
So
it's
a
disadvantage
to
our
community
to
have
to
I
guess
what
I
should
say
is.
The
change
that
was
proposed
was
that
the
municipality
only
has
the
right
to
work
with
and
buyout
or
make
an
arrangement
if
the
private
investor
owned
or
rural
utility
wants
that
to
happen.
And
it's
there's,
the
suggestion
has
been
made
that
they
could
say
no
city
I,
don't
want
to
have
an
arrangement
with
you.
A
As
far
as
the
city
of
Watertown
goes,
we
already
have
an
agreement
with
cons
and
Clark
Electric,
and
so
it
wouldn't
even
apply
to
that.
But
in
general
it's
not
a
good
thing
for
municipalities
and
it's
we
don't
support
it
so
before
the
state
government
gets
together
and
does
their
summer
study,
we've
been
asked
to
sign
a
letter
saying
that
we
don't.
We
don't
want
this
to
happen,
and
so
that's
what
this
letter
is.
The
letters
in
the
packet
and.
A
Municipalities
are
far
outnumbered
by
the
Rural
Electric
and
investor-owned
utilities.
There's
only
35
of
us
and
there's
I,
don't
know
how
many
of
the
others
there
are,
but
over
a
hundred-
and
so
it's
we're
kind
of
the
the
little
guy
in
the
sense
that
we
don't
have
a
big
body.
So
it's
important
that
we
tell
our
legislators
what
our
position
is.
So
this
letter
says
what
I
said
and
asking
the
council
to
authorize
me
to
sign
it.
So.
F
A
A
A
So
we
can't
move
forward
with
any
kind
of
flood
control
until
this
study
is
completed.
That's
the
first
step
of
the
process,
so
we're
asking
those
elected
officials
to
urge
the
Corps
of
Engineers
to
get
this
done
do
what
they
can
to
help.
A
similar
letter
is
going
out
from
like
camp
Eska,
Water
Project
district,
so
I
did
I
get.
A
A
K
A
It
was
around
$500,000
and
the
the
500,000
that
I've
got
that
letter
in
here.
That's
the
next
one
that
that
we're
doing
gets
the
amount
isn't.
In
the
letter
the
state
was
going
to
pick
up
half
of
that,
and
then
the
lake
campus
Cotter
project
district
was
going
to
pick
up
half
of
our
remaining
half,
which
meant
that
the
city
was
paying
about
a
hundred
and
twenty-five
thousand
dollars.
I
think
is
the
amount
that
they
projected
that
it
would
cost
to
complete
the
study
of
flood
control
and
show
a
cost-benefit
analysis
and
so
on.
Those.
A
And
originally
the
Corps
was
doing
that
a
hundred
percent
the
city
had
no
co
share
in
that
at
all.
They
just
asked
us
in
the
last
few
years
they
thought,
maybe
if
we
would
help
pay
for
it.
They
could
finish
the
study
and
close
the
book,
but
so
far
that
hasn't
worked
so
a
little
bit
of
extra
help.
Any
other
questions
or
comments
all
right
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
L
A
Opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
okay
and
then
item
number
13
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
letter
to
the
US
Army
Corps
of
Engineers,
indicating
the
intent
of
the
city
to
sponsor
a
flood
control
study,
and
this
is
the
same
letter
that
mayor
Thorson
sent
in
2017
and
I
sent
in
2018
that
I
just
described.
That
says
yes,
we're
still
in
favor
of
moving
ahead
with
this
study,
and
this
letter
would
go
to
the
Corps
so.
A
F
Got
a
question:
if
if
this,
if
the
Corps
comes
back
and
said,
yep
we're
ready
to
move
forward,
that
will
come
back
to
us
again,
I
mean
we're
gonna.
Have
it
I
mean
it's
gonna
be
a
few
months
we're
gonna
have
new
council
members,
I
mean
that
will
come
back
again
to
us
for
final
approval,
budgeting,
etc.
I
mean
just
because
we're
saying
this
letter
and
the
Corps
is
agreed
I've
all
in
favor.
This
don't
get
me
wrong,
but
we're
not
necessarily
binding
ourselves
to
some
unknown
dollar
amount.
F
A
Guess
would
be
if
the
Corps
did
move
forward
with
it.
They
would
update
the
estimated
cost
it's
their
work.
They
might
actually
honor
it.
You
know
they
might
honor
that
number,
because
we
agreed
with
them
at
the
time
they
were
supposed
to
cover
the
whole
cost
themselves
and
we
agreed
to
a
certain
dollar
amount
and
they,
if
they
wanted
us
to
increase
the
dollar
amount
I'm.
They
would
have
to
tell
us
that,
but.
A
Other
questions,
yunano
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item.
14
is
approval
to
reclassify
the
human
resource
coordinator
position
to
a
human
resource
director
grade
9
and
organizational
structure,
change
with
position
now
reporting
to
the
mayor
and
so
heath.
If
you
could
bring
that
back
up.
We'll
talk
about
that.
Other
change
that
you
pointed
out
John.
C
C
It
is
my
recommendation
that
this
position
is
pulled
out
and
reassessed
at
a
as
a
director
level
position
most
other
cities
that
are
our
size.
The
human
resource
director
is
its
own
department
answers
either
to
the
mayor
or
to
the
city
manager.
I
think
it
worked
well
under
the
finance
for
a
certain
amount
of
time,
and
at
this
point,
I
think
just
as
the
city
has
grown.
C
Hr
has
also
changed
in
shape
with
a
lot
more
regulations
and
rules,
and
it's
kind
of
its
own
thing.
It's
not
anymore
just
applications
and
all
that
kind
of
stuff.
So
it's
my
recommendation
that
we
we
pull
this
out
of
finance.
It
becomes
its
own
Department.
Another
reason
for
that
is
with
it
sitting
under
finance.
There
was
some
times
it
was
a
road
block
just
with
timing.
If
something
needed
to
be
done,
then
I
haven't
be
involved
as
well,
and
it
could
kind
of
make
the
process
a
little
bit
longer
than
necessary.
C
C
Responsibilities
won't
change
too
significantly.
The
HR
position
has
always
been
part
of
the
unions,
they're
part
of
all
the
hiring
on
the
work
with
the
department
heads
in
regards
to.
If
there's
disciplinary
actions,
the
main
change
with
the
position
will
just
be
that
you
know
they
used
to
fall
under
finance
and
they
kind
of
had
to
always
run
some
of
their
decisions
through
the
finance,
whereas
now
they'll
be
making
decisions
on
a
department
head
level.
C
C
Works
very
closely
with
each
one
of
the
departments
within
the
city,
so
they're
they're
an
advisory
role.
It's
still
the
department
heads
of
those
different.
You
know
whether
it's
fire
police,
whatever
are
making,
but
the
HR
is
responsible
to
advise
them
on
on
what
to
do.
Some
of
the
rules
making
sure
that
everybody's
following
like
Fair,
Labor,
Standards
and
stuff,
like
that,
so
as
far
as
job
duties,
I
would
not
see.
I
don't
have
really
set
out
a
lot
of
change.
A
The
there
wasn't
a
detailed
analysis
done
to
indicate
that
it
would
be
a
nine,
but
we're
about
to
embark
on
that
and
I.
Don't
think
it's
worthwhile
for
Kristen
to
have
to
do
a
bunch
of
work.
We
know
what
other
HR
professionals
make
their
salaries
fall
within
the
level
nine
for
our
wage
analysis
right
now.
So
it's
kind
of
the
tail
wagging
the
dog,
but
everything
will
flush
out
with
our
wage
study.
O
Hello,
okay,
I
just
want
to
comment
that
this
is
something
that
I've
actually
been
in
favor
of
and
have
talked
about
for
six
years,
because
I
see
the
lack
of
it's
not
lack
of
efficiency.
It's
just
like
Kristin
said
that
if
you're
waiting
to
make
a
decision
on
a
disciplinary
action
or
a
hiring
or
something
that
has
to
do
with
residency
issues
or
there's
just
a
whole
new
slew
of
you
know,
Fair
Housing
Act
act
and
for
it's
not
fair
to
Kristen,
to
have
to
know
all
of
those
things.
O
In
addition
to
all
the
things
that
she's
already
working
on
and
I
think
that
the
by
having
a
direct
report
of
a
HR
person
for
all
the
different
departments,
you
are
going
to
see
hiring
processes.
The
grieving
process
grievance
grieving
grievance
processes,
the
you
know
any
kinds
of
disciplinary
making
sure
that
we
have
a
adequate
amount
of
documentation
to.
K
If
we
go
back
a
number
of
years,
when
this
HR
position
was
was
filled
in
the
first
place,
the
intent
was
to
get
to
this
point.
The
decision
originally
was
to
get
the
person
in
here,
get
them
acclimated
to
our
environment.
Here,
see
how
the
person
was
doing
and
then
get
it
spun
off
into
its
own
structure
like
this.
So
it's
probably
long
overdue.
You
know
I'm
with
math
I,
think
there's
a
lot
of
positive
things
that
come
out
of
it.
So
I
think
we
should
do
it.
Thank.

I
Just
trying
to
wing
this
here
we
had
anticipated,
Tim
or
Ken
might
be
here
to
explain
this.
But
what
I'll
tell
you
what
I
do
know
I
do
know
that
the
chamber
is
leasing,
109,
East
Kemp
for
the
summer.
It's
a
vacant,
property
downtown,
excuse
me
and
with
the
intention
of
having
Thursday
Night
Live
in
that
area,
they
also
have
the
wine
walk.
That
will
be
occurring
and
I
believe
in
Art,
Walk
and
so
I
assume.
This
is
related
to
that.
A
This
would
be
the
time
to
talk
about
it,
but
please
note
that
it
can
be
revoked
at
any
time
in
the
future
if
the
council
would
feel
that's
necessary.
These
are
we're
seeing
more
and
more
of
them.
We
it's
been
a
few
years
now
that
we've
had
the
ability
to
do
these
and
had
a
permanent
process
in
place.
We
haven't
seen
any
problems
yet
so
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
or
does.
K
I
I
Take
it
to
a
different
location,
it
certainly
stays
with
them
and
that
property
together,
whether
or
not
the
next
owner
or
lease
or
tenant
of
that
property,
is
entitled
to
the
sidewalk
cafe.
I'd
have
to
follow
up
with
you
on
that.
But
again,
like
the
mayor
said,
it
is
revocable
at
any
time
by
the
council.
So.
L
A
Opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item.
16
is
consideration
of
a
request
by
Thomas
carnival
to
use
the
city-owned
parking
lot
next
to
County
Fair
from
Thursday
May
23rd
2019
through
Monday
May
27
2009
teen
setup
will
begin
on
Wednesday
May,
22nd
2019,
and
this
includes
part
of
the
public
street
adjacent
as
well.
Look
for
a
motion,
second
for
approval
moved
by
Y.
N
A
E
F
Have
you
raised
one
point
Josh
thanks
for
doing
that?
Any
other
concerns
with
the
neighbors
I
guess
I'm
asked
for
the
standpoint
when
I
was
in
the
chamber
board
a
number
of
years
ago.
I
know
there
were
some
concerns
expressed
by
some
of
the
neighboring
entities
around
there,
no
issues
in
recent
years.
As
far
as
you're
aware
of.
A
Anything
else
all
right
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
All
right
was
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
item.
17
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance,
number
19-0
v,
supplemental
appropriations
and
budget
line
item
transfers
and
there's
no
action
required
here,
but
I'll
just
ask
cristen
to
go
through
this
with
us.
Okay,.
C
Thank
You
mayor,
as
we
kind
of
talked
about
before
we
make
kind
of
some
approving
of
supplements
to
the
budget.
This
actually
formalized
some
of
those
decisions
I
can
run
through
them
real,
quick,
the
9000
for
the
street
department.
That
was
simply
a
timing
issue.
They
had
purchased
I
believe
it
was
a
loader
actually.
Last
year
it
came
in
kind
of
late.
This
supplement
that
it's
kind
of
more
of
an
accounting
cleanup.
They
had
it
within
their
budget,
but
timing
was
an
issue.
The
streets
had
some
improvement
under
capital
improvement
fun
to
12.
C
C
That
was
just
approved
at
the
last
council
meeting
for
the
premier,
softball
complex
equipment
and
then
the
last
one,
the
gis
implementation,
the
33,000
that
was
actually
a
contract
that
we
had
I
think
it
was
a
three
year
contract
I
think
Heath
might
have
to
help
do
is
that
the
mapping
was
that
that's
the
one
that
we
hey.
It
was
from
2017.
H
Yes,
I
believe
there
was
a
contract
for
the
aerial
photography
that
we
obtained
and
it
was
through
the
carrying
out
of
that
contract.
We
signed
up
for
a
three
year
payment
option.
This
is
the
year
three
of
three.
This
is
the
third
and
final
payment
and
transition
I
assume
between
multiple
city
engineers,
the
last
few
years.
This
did
not
get
allocated
in
the
2019
budget,
so
I
got
an
invoice
and
had
to
bring
it
forth
to
Kristen
to
see
they
would
get
funds
appropriated
to
it.
H
C
To
cover
that
one,
and
then
the
airport
fund
is
to
two
different
things.
It
was
the
reclassification
of
the
one
position
which
brought
it
from
a
maintenance
worker
position
up
to
the
foreman
position,
and
then
it
was
also
you
had
approved
Tod
to
go
ahead
and
hire
one
extra
airport,
maintenance,
worker
I
think
that
was
a
couple
meetings
ago.
So
this
is
kind
of
the
cleanup
of
those
earlier
transactions
that
we
did
then.
C
Yeah
third
Avenue
north
east
and
then
the
marina
bay,
so
that
was
just
kind
of
our
our
Home
Rule
Charter
allows
for
us
to
transfer
budgets
within
a
department
when
we
see
that
there's
a
need
for
it,
and
so
this
is
to
take
care
of
that
and
kind
of
some
of
the
accounting
inside
of
it.
So
if
there's
any
questions,
I
could
answer
them.
If
not,
this
is
a
first
reading.
It's
a
ordinance
so
it'll
come
before
you
at
the
next
meeting
as
well.
C
H
E
P
I'm
not
fully
prepared
to
discuss
that,
but
I
do
know
that
we're
probably
gonna
be
between
well
60
and
80
thousand
is
my
guess.
At
this
point.
I
know
we
have
the
two
most
expensive
days
that
we
had
throughout.
That
stretch
was
over
60,000,
so
it's
probably
gonna
be
quite
a
bit
more
than
that.
I
just
don't
know
the
total.
Yet,
okay.
O
P
A
M
M
Lot,
that's
amazing.
We
can
move
all
that
material,
but
one
other
thing
I
want
to
bring
up
and
and
I
thought.
Maybe
this
was
an
item
for
new
business?
Maybe
it
is,
but
since
you're
sitting
there,
you
may
have
some
input
on
this.
One
of
the
questions
I
have
is:
what
can
we
do
as
far
as
flood
control
mitigation
I
mean
now
that
we
know
kind
of
where
we
got
to
put
all
these
Hesco
baskets?
Can
we
put
permanent
structures
and
I
know?
M
That's
probably
in
it
and
I
did
have
a
conversation
with
Heath
about
this
there,
the
there's,
probably
federal
guidelines
regarding
where
you
can
be
in
the
floodway,
with
some
of
those
structures
or
or
whether
or
not
it's
a
floodplain,
but
I
think
it
would
be
a
good
idea
for
us
to
look
at
where
we
could
put
in
some
of
those
permanent
structures
to
deal
with
flood
issues.
So
we
don't
run
into
that.
We
don't
have
to
put
10,000
Hesco
baskets
out
there.
Every
time
we
have
a
threat
of
flood
so.
P
P
Fees
and
Heath
and
I
have
talked
a
little
bit
about
that
during
the
flood
and
after
we
had
gotten
everything
in
place,
we
had
talked
about
some
improvements
that
we
could
possibly
make
to
help
speed
up
the
process
next
time
you
know
protecting
some
of
our
storms
or
structures
and
that
type
of
thing
to
where
we
could
get
away
from
sandbagging,
because
that's
that's
really
time-consuming
too,
but
yeah
moving
forward.
I
know.
P
Heath
has
been
looking
at
options
for
us
protecting
some
some
of
the
places
that
come
to
mind
you
know,
while
we're
doing
212,
maybe
we'll
be
able
to
do
something
along
the
river
that
type
of
thing
compatible
of
art.
A
lot
of
Hesco
baskets
went
in
down
there,
that's
in
the
flood
way,
so
I
don't
know
where
we
stand
with
that,
though,.
A
P
That
yeah
actually
right
now
with
our
staff.
Today
we
only
had
two
of
them
filling
potholes,
because
we
have
everybody
spread
out
doing
street
sweeping
or
trying
to
get
caught
up
on
that
we
have
guys
taking
haskell
baskets
down
and
everybody
we're
just
we're.
Just
have
more
work
than
we
have
people
right
now,
but
the
plant
the
hot-mix
plant
is
an
opening
until
mid-may
from
what
I
last
heard,
so
we're
still
putting
cold
mix
in
which
is
very
short-lived.
P
It
just
doesn't
stay
in
those
holes
very
well
compared
to
hot
mix
so-
and
you
know
be
in
between
the
floods
and
the
snows
and
and
the
clean
citywide
cleanup
we've
been
patched
and
we've
had
some
days
where
we
had
three
two-man
crews
out
and
they
get
quite
a
bit
done
in
those
days.
But
we've
already
went
back
over
some
of
our
snow
routes
and
reworked
those
areas.
It's
the
highest
traffic
areas
we've
been
focusing
on.
Are
they
always.
P
Like
it,
they
try
to
open
early
May
but
I
think
with
the
cold
weather
and
heating
the
plant
are
putting
heat
into
their
system,
cost
them
a
lot
of
money
and
I
think
until
they
they
have
the
situation
where
they
can
lay
asphalt
down,
they're,
not
gonna,
open
it,
and
so,
but
they're
talking
about
mid
May,
so
I'm,
hoping
by
next
week
or
the
week
after
I
guess
it
all
depends
on
the
rain.
So.
P
An
82
years
Andrew
years
ago,
they
they
got
a
new
plant
and
I,
don't
think
they
opened
until
it
was
like
the
first
week
in
June.
We
were
going
to
Brookings
to
buy
max
that
year,
quite
a
while.
So
and
this
year
our
roads
just
taken
a
beating.
We
have
more
potholes
to
repair
than
we've
ever
had
that
I've
ever
seen
my
years
with
the
city,
so
we're
gonna
be
busy
with
that.
Madam.
H
Mayor,
if
I
could
chime
in
to
councilman
Albertsons
question
in
relation
to
Rob's
workload
there
at
the
street
department
as
far
as
maintenance
operations
go.
That's
a
I
just
wanted
to
note
this,
because
that's
directly
in
relation
to
one
of
the
bids
that
we
currently
have
all
one
of
our
more
substantial
projects,
the
mill
and
overlay
project
is
budgeted
for
$900,000
in
that
project.
Through
our
discussions
would
rob,
we
decided
to
include
some
of
the
work
that
the
street
department
used
to
do
under
that
project.
H
They
would
perform
some
of
the
patch
work
on
the
mill
and
overlay.
We've
incorporated
that
into
the
bid
for
this
year's
project
to
free
up
some
of
their
time.
To
do
some
of
this
work
that
we're
talking
about.
That
will,
of
course,
bring
additional
cost
to
that
project.
But
again
we
felt
it
was.
It
was
warranted
weren't
to
change
the
see
where
it
comes
in
in
that
bid
and
and
free
these
guys
up
to
do
some
more
of
the
routine
maintenance.
That's
needed,
particularly
for
this
year.
Thank.
M
Other
question
I
know:
we've
talked
about
this
in
the
past
Rob
about
outsourcing
some
of
that
work.
You
know,
and
it
may
be
such
a
thing
too,
because
you
get
into
that
pothole
thing.
You
know
when
the
citywide
cleanup
is
going,
maybe
maybe
outsource
some
of
that
removal
of
that
of
that
garbage
I,
don't
know
if
that's
possible
or
not,
but
I
know.
We've
talked
about
the
possibility
of
outsourcing
some
of
the
pothole
repair.
That
kind
of
thing
are
we
doing
that
I
mean
I,
know
what
we
look
at
a
one
time.
P
Is
quite
expensive
but,
like
Heath
was
saying
buying
that
into
our
project,
we'll
be
able
to
get
some
help
with
that
this
year
and
I
will
this
year
with
the
over
abundant
amount
of
of
potholes.
It's
going
to
help
a
lot,
so
the
prices
are
generally
high.
If
we
do
a
small
project
like
if
we
have
something
laid
out
in
plans
where
there's
you
know,
50
potholes
to
fill.
If
we
added
in
like
our
mill
and
overlay
project
like
Heath,
was
talking
about
I,
think
we're
gonna
have
better
prices
that
way.
P
If
we
do
that
forward
each
year,
we'll
see
how
this
year
works
out,
but
we
did
have
that
bid
item
in
there
last
year,
but
it
was.
We
had
kept
that
with
the
project
as
far
as
patching
on
what
we
had
on
Golf
Course
Road
and
we
didn't,
we
didn't
use
the
contractor
as
much
as
we
hope
to,
and
mainly
because
they
were
booked
with
a
lot
of
work.
P
They
worked
late
in
the
season
and
we
just
weren't
able
to
get
a
lot
of
help
out
of
them,
but
hoping
this
year
we
can
get
more
help
from
them
and
patching
so
on,
and
we
will
have
two
two
crews
working
on
patching
this
summer,
which
we
haven't
had
in
the
past.
So
because
you
guys
added
staff,
that's
gonna
help
this
summer,
it's
grown
us
to
the
point
where
we
can
put
two
full-time
crews
out
there.
That's.
I
Yes,
not
related
to
old
Rob.
If
you
want
to
stay,
you
can,
but
this
is
actually
later
to
pick
the
sidewalk
cafe
Tim
to
just
get
back
to
me.
He
had
was
misinformed.
He
thought
his
item
was
gonna,
be
on
the
20th,
so
he
apologizes
that
he
was
not
here
to
explain
it,
but
that
was
it
is
for
Thursday.
Night
Live
is
what
the
sidewalk
cafe
is
for,
and
so
I
wanted
to
relay
that
to
the
council.
Also,
just
a
quick
look
at
the
ordinance
and
statute.
I
The
permit,
in
my
opinion,
would
follow
it's
not
explicitly
laid
out,
but
it
would.
It
would
be
tied
to
that
owner
and
that
property,
and
once
that
separated
it
would
go
away,
because
we
need
that
sent
me
a
certificate
of
insurance,
etc.
So
the
next
tenant
of
that
property
or
owner
would
have
to
reapply.
I
And
then
the
last
thing
I
wanted
to
say
also
is
that
the
last
council
meeting
it
was
suggested
that
we
obtain
the
market
value
or
try
to
obtain
the
market
value
of
the
on
sale,
liquor
licenses
and
in
town
I
just
want
to
let
the
council
know
that
we
did
send
out
a
letter
last
week
to
all
the
on
sale
license
holders
requesting
that
they
provide
that
information
to
us
voluntarily.
Of
course
it's
not.
K
I
got
a
couple
things
likely
the
first
one
here
I
had
sent
an
email
out
to
the
mayor
and
council
leadership,
probably
a
week
or
so
ago,
in
regards
to
our
human
resources,
employment
policy
in
regards
to
an
amount
used.
The
word
whistle
blower
policy,
where
Karen
has
shared
a
few
items
over
the
course
of
time
where,
where
she
felt
that
something
was
being
done
either
illegally
or
just
wrong
and
and
he
had
communicated,
probably
followed
the
proper
channels
to
communicate
that
and
ultimately
had
issues
with
that
in
regards
to
her
employment.
K
K
If
we
don't,
then
we
as
I'll
just
say
we
as
council
members,
we're
we're
on
the
outside
looking
in,
and
then
we
hear
about
it
later,
I
don't
expect
any
action
on
that
I,
but
I
think
it's
something
that
that
we
should
look
at
as
to
what
do
we
currently
have
in
policy
or
the
employment
manual
or
ordinance
or
whatever
it
is,
and
again
using
the
term
whistleblower
and
I
said
Sara.
You
had
mentioned
a
term
and
I
didn't
I've,
never
heard
that
before
I
came
from
what
was
called
in
your
email.
K
But
when
they
do,
then
we
need
to
have
something
that
enables
us
to
clearly
understand
how
it's
gonna
be
handled
and
for
those
employees
as
well
as
us
as
administrators
and
council
members,
food
for
thought,
I,
don't
know
how
will
you
go
about
doing
that
if
it
should,
if
it's
something
that
should
at
least
get
looked
at,
who
would
do
it,
but
I
think
I
think
it
should
at
least
get
looked
at.
Thank.
I
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
something
to
make
sure
so
the
modern
mill
hearing
is
intended
for
when
somebody
is
terminated.
They
have
the
right
to
basically
say
their
piece
before
they're.
It's
a
protection
for
for
terminated
employees,
a
whistleblower
policy
would
be
would
be
separate.
Essentially
that
would
take
the
form
of
preventing
retaliation
against
the
subordinate
employee
for
going
outside
the
chain
of
command
and
reporting,
something
that
they've
they've
seen
done,
and
so
it'd
be
it's
it's
two
separate,
but
somewhat
related
issues
and.
I
No
I
think
I,
guess
that's
what
I
was
trying
to
clarify.
Is
that
the
louder
Melwood
would
cover
is
in
place
when
somebody
is
terminated,
the
whistleblower
would
prevent
retaliation,
it
wouldn't
necessarily
be
termination.
It
would
prevent
a
retaliation
period
against
an
employee
that
reports,
wrongdoing,
and
so
it
could.
There
could
be
retaliation
in
the
form
of
something.
I
Would
also
cover
essentially
B
language,
stating
that
if
you
see
something
that
you
don't
believe
that
or
if
your
manager
is
doing
something
inappropriately
or
you
see
something,
you
don't
believe
your
manager
is
gonna.
Respond
to
that.
There's
a
way
to
report
that,
whether
it's
to
a
council
wide
email
or
something
like
that
or
some
sort
of
way
to
report
that
to
a
higher
higher
level
than
your
supervisor.
But
it
wouldn't
necessarily
have
to
be
related
to
a
termination.
Okay,.
K
You
know
it
could
be
a
mayor
or
could
be
a
city
manager
or
it
could
be
any
one
of
us
as
council
members,
and
then
we
don't
hear
about
something
tell
maybe
later
and
we've
acted
on
something
or
let
something
go
by
not
knowing
I
just
think
that
it,
it
I
think
it
helps
protect
us
in
our
responsibility
as
administrative
standpoint
from
the
city.
I
also
think
it
helps
protect
the
employees
and
gives
them
that
a
very
defined
manner
of
which
to
express
those
concerns
I'm
not
talking
about
if
they
disagree
with
something.
K
G
K
K
K
The
the
communication
policy
that
was
put
out
there
is
not
being
received
well
within
the
public.
There's
concerns
with
that
and
I.
Don't
disagree
with
that.
I
I
do
understand
that
we
cannot
be
directing
our
department,
heads
and
and
I
understand
the
sensitivity
to
their
workloads,
but
I
don't
believe
that
the
interpretation
of
the
whole
mill
Charter
is
being
interpreted
interpreted
correctly
because
it
doesn't
talk.
It
states
that,
except
for
the
purpose
of
inquiries
and
investigations.
K
The
verbage
of
the
Home
Rule
Charter
I,
don't
believe
I'm
directing
them
directing
is
when
I
say
to
Rob
that
he
needs
to
get
out
and
fill
potholes
or
they
need
to
plow.
My
street
first
or
Jada
Lange
has
got
to
do
something
in
park
and
wreck
it
out
there
and
Moe
or
whatever
they're
gonna
do
to
me.
That's
that
was
the
intent
of
the
direction
it
wasn't
about
us
inquiring
about
information.
I
think
we
need
to
have
that
right.
I!
K
Think
it's
a
poor
precedent
to
set
in
until
recently
that's
always
been
the
standard
that
I've
been
aware
of
from
the
previous
two
mayor's
I've
worked
with,
and
the
City
Attorney's
that
we've
had
so
my
thing
is,
is
I,
think
it's
it's
I
think
it's
detrimental
I,
think
the
the
the
public
wants
to
be
able
to
communicate
to
us
and
have
us
at
times
get
information
for
them.
I
think
it
could
slow
the
process
down
or
it
could
impede
the
process.
I
also
think
it
it
it.
K
It
can
impede
transparency
and
an
accountability
within
the
whole
system.
So
again,
it's
just
my
opinion
and
I
know
it's
the
opinion
of
people
within
the
community,
because
I
have
been
talked
to
about
it
that
it
it's
went
too
far
in
regards
to
you
ability
to
to
strictly
the
requesting
of
information.
So
that's
all
I
say.
A
Okay,
I'll
respond
just
saying
you're,
referring
to
my
request
that
the
council
honor
the
Charter
in
the
way
that
I
interpret
it
and
have
always
interpreted
it
that
the
council
should
be
communicating
through
the
mayor
to
the
employees
and
I
think
that
you
should
also
go
through
the
chain
of
command
and
not
go
to
a
subordinate
of
a
department
head
without
communicating
with
the
department
head
and
I.
Think
that
that's
the
correct
interpretation
Matt.
Would
you
comment
on
that?
Please.
I
Yes,
so
it's
certainly
open
to
interpretation.
I
will
say
that
the
I
don't
mean
to
get
so
technical,
but
if
you
read
the
interference
of
the
administration,
Clause
and
the
whole
charter,
it
says,
except
for
the
purpose,
singular,
not
plural,
of
equate
inquiries
and
investigations
under
209
I.
Don't
think
enquiries
is
intended
to
be
read
separately.
I
think
it's
intended
to
be
in
description
of
investigations
under
209
and
you
go
to
209
and
it
basically
contemplates
a
more
formal
investigatory
process.
I
That's
my
that's.
My
interpretation
of
that
Clause
I
think
it
was
intended
to
to
contemplate
a
more
formal
investigatory
process
that
council
could
put
into
ordinance
and
how
that
would
look.
I
wouldn't
necessarily
require
an
old
home
little
Charter
change.
If,
if
council
wanted
to
try
to
consider
some
sort
of
ordinance
interpretation
of
the
way
that
looks
as
far
as
investigations
and
inquiries
goes,
but
I
think
the
fact
that
it's
not
plural,
the
word
purpose
contemplates
one
purpose
and
that's
investigations
under
209.
F
How
a
citizen
was
to
report
the
city
and
I
said
no
I
said
I
said
whether
it's
reaching
out
to
a
staff
person
or
the
mayor
or
the
council
we're
all
here
to
serve
so
as
far
as
you
as
a
citizen,
nothing
has
changed
relative
to
how
you
communicate
a
concern
that
you
would
have,
but
I
think
there
again.
There
is
some
perception
or
misperception
out
there
as
far
as
how
the
public
is
to
address
a
concern
that
they
may
have
and
that
wasn't
it
right.
A
I
did
I
didn't
make
a
public
statement.
I
made
a
statement
to
the
council
members
asking
them
to
honor
our
process
and
had
nothing
to
do
with
citizens.
Citizens
can
contact
any
public
official.
They
can
come
to
departments
talk
directly,
that's
what
the
staff
is
there
for
is
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
public,
but
this
is
to
protect
really
the
staff
from
having
to
tell
a
council
member
I'm.
Sorry
I,
just
don't
have
time
to
work
on
that
research
project
right
now,
I'm
gonna
have
to
say
no
to
you.
They
aren't
gonna
do
that.
A
That
is
not
going
to
happen.
I
guarantee
you!
That
will
not
happen.
If
a
council
member
asks
a
staff
member
to
look
something
up
that
staff
member
is
going
to
look
something
up,
it's
not
should
not
be
their
responsibility
to
tell
the
mayor,
hey
I've
been
asked
to
do
something,
that's
kind
of
inappropriate.
A
Do
you
mind
stepping
in
that
really
should
be
the
council
member,
knowing
that
they
should
go
through
the
chain
of
command,
not
not
bypassed
the
mayor
or
the
department
head
in
their
communications,
and
it's
I
have
no
intention
of
stopping
that.
I
don't
want
to
get
in
the
way,
but
if
I
do
see
an
overworked
employee
being
asked
to
do
something
that
maybe
is
more
appropriately
handled
by
a
different
one
or
maybe
can
wait.
A
I
I
want
to
be
able
to
step
in
and
say
that,
but
I've
just
asked
the
council
to
CC
me
on
their
communications.
It
does
say
clearly
in
our
Charter
that
the
council
should
communicate
to
the
employees
via
the
mayor
for
all
employees.
That
report
to
me
so
I'm,
just
asking
you
to
honor
that
so
and
I
don't
think
we
need
to
agonize
over
this.
M
A
Rarely
but
yes,
there
been
a
couple
times
that
there
was
someone
that
I
felt
shouldn't
be
the
one
have
to
tell
me
that
they're
being
asked
to
spend
hours
looking
stuff
up
that
isn't
really
pressing
and
I
can
see
it
written
on
the
face
that
nobody
wants
to
disappoint
their
council
member.
They
you
know
they
really
don't
they.
They
want
to
say
yes
to
you,
they
will
say
yes
to
you,
there
they're
not
going
to
say
no
to
you.
A
So
this
is
just
giving
me
the
ability
to
step
in
and
I
have
no
intention
of
stopping
I.
You
know
I
can't
say
that
I've
ever
seen,
inappropriate
questions
being
asked.
I
have
seen
work
that
is,
delaying
someone
who's
quite
busy
with
more
important
things
being
asked
to
be
distracted
and
work
on
something
less
important
and
the
you
know
the
employee
isn't
going
to
tell
the
council
member
I
got
something
more
important:
I'm,
just
not
gonna
work
on
your
thing
right
now:
they're,
not
gonna.
A
Do
that
and
and
I've
been
in
that
position
too,
as
an
employee
myself
and
you
know
having
to
drop
what
I'm
doing
with
my
getting
my
project
out
and
do
this
other
project
for
a
council
member
there's
no
way
an
employee
wants
to
disappoint
a
council
member.
They
have
a
great
deal
of
respect
for
you
and
it's
you
know
it's
just
a
matter
of
chain
of
command
that
I,
wouldn't
you
know,
go
to
someone
that
I
don't
supervise
and
ask
them
to
do
work
without
asking
their
superior
in
advance,
and
that's
really
what
it's
about.
A
So
don't
go
straight
to
an
employee,
that's
a
subordinate
at
all,
without
clearing
it
with
the
department
head
and
with
the
department
heads
who
report
to
the
mayor,
CC
me
on
your
request
or
tell
me
you're
going
to
talk
to
them.
So
if
I
see
so
okay,
that's
the
wrong
person!
You
want
to
talk
to
that
one
or
you
know,
can
you
just
wait?
Wait
a
couple
weeks,
let
this
person
finish
what
they're
working
on?
Can
you
ask
that
later
I'm?
A
Okay,
doing
that
and
I
will
say
that
to
you,
if
it's
appropriate
and
and
I
really
think
the
implement
the
employee
and
a
terribly
awkward
position
to
have
to
say
no
to
a
council,
member
and
I,
don't
think
they
will
so
that
wasn't
meant
for
a
public
consumption.
It
was
meant
as
a
respect
for
our
chain
of
command
and
I
I
believe
in
it
I
think
you
should
honor
it.
I
Mayor
if
I
may
say
one
more
thing,
I
did
consult
with
another
city
attorney
on
this
issue
as
well,
who
was
charter
reads
exactly
the
same
as
ours,
and
they
said
that
they've
been
flexible
over
the
years
that
basically
some
sometimes
they
allow
free
rein.
Sometimes
they
ran
it
back
because
of
because
of
abuse
of
the
privilege,
but
they
did
acknowledge
that
it
appears
to
be
a
privilege
based
on
the
charters
language.
It's
not
it's
not
a
requirement,
but
certainly
like
I,
said
open
to
interpretation.
A
Okay,
is
there
any
other
new
business
or
any
liaison
reports,
all
right?
We
do
have
a
reason
to
go
into
executive
session
this
evening
to
discuss
and
consult
with
legal
counsel
on
contractual
matters,
as
well
as
confidential
financial
information
for
economic
development
purposes.
We
do
not
expect
to
take
action
on
coming
out,
though
so
I'd
like
a
motion
to
go
into
executive
session.
You
have
a
motion
by
Buehler
second
by
manty
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries.
