That's

is
application

a

I
look
for
a
motion,
second,
for
approval,
move
by
Bueller
second
by
Thorsen
and
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
about
this?
A
D
A
Opposed
signify
by
saying
name
motion
carries
item
number.
Five.
Is
approval
of
resolution
number
19
17
resetting
the
on
sale,
alcoholic
beverage
license
fee
first,
full-service,
restaurants
and
I'll.
Look
for
a
motion
in
a
second
for
approval.
Just
get
started
here,
move
by
a
damn.
Fourth,
second,
by
Ville,
Hauer
and
sir
I
know
you
had
something.
So
this
would
be
your
time,
but
first
I'll
let
the
city
attorney
do
a
little
introduction.
Then
yes,
councilman
I.
J
A
J
It's
an
on
sale
license
for
full-service
restaurants
at
the
time
they
require
that
the
first
ten
years
that
that
license
be
sold
at
the
current
fair
market
value
essentially,
and
they
offered
a
way
to
calculate
that
for
the
last
ten
years
that
license
fee
was
set
at
two
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollars
and
that
ten
years
is
now
up
now.
The
the
only
floor
pursuant
to
state
law
is
the
number
of
people
in
our
community
at
the
last
census.
J
So
that's
twenty
one
thousand
eight
hundred
and
forty
two
dollars
and
as
the
council
had
requested
last
time
we
discussed
this.
This
resolution
was
brought
forward
with
a
proposal
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
consistent
with
Aberdeen
and
Brookings.
Is
current
fee
and
I'll.
Take
any
other
questions
you
might
have.
J
No,
no
one!
Yes,
the
previous
resolution
when
it
was
passed
in
2009,
did
have
a
did,
have
an
end
date
on
it.
But
if,
if
somebody
comes
in
today
and
asks
for
a
license
its
two
hundred
and
five
thousand
dollars,
if,
but
we
should
do
it
sooner
rather
than
later,
if,
if
anything,
just
resetting
it
to
205
without
an
end
date,
if
that's
what
we
want
it
to
be.
Okay,.
H
J
A
So
this
license
that
we
can
sell
for
200
five
thousand
dollars
doesn't
come
with
the
same
privileges.
If
someone
were
to
buy
this
type
of
license,
I
understand,
they
would
have
to
keep
track
of
their
food
and
alcohol
sales
and
prove
that
their
food
makes
up.
60%
and
non-alcoholic
beverages
make
up
60%
of
their
total
sales.
Correct,
correct.
D
E
A
J
A
N
H
H
H
J
The
way
I
mean
so
this
is
a
the
legislature
when
they
created
this
had
to
hurry
up
and
amend
it
last
year.
In
order
to
allow
that,
because
last
year,
that
10
year
period
came
up
and
I
feel
like
there's
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
scenarios
that
have
been
brought
to
my
attention,
that
being
one
of
them
that
the
legislature
may
address
in
the
future.
But
the
way
I
read
the
law
right
now
is
that
license
the
license
cannot
be
renewed
if
they
do
not
meet
the
60%
threshold
and
they
lose
their
license.
J
A
J
Only
caveat
to
that
is
that
after
one
license
is
sold,
we
do
need
to
maintain
essentially
a
registry
of
those
licenses
that
we
sell.
So
if
you
buy
a
license
and
two
years
down
the
road
I
decide
I
want
to
start
a
restaurant,
the
city
who
has
to
refer
me
to
you
for
first,
if
you're
wanting
to
sell
to
me
at
the
price
that
the
city
has
set
for
that
fee,
then
I
have
to
buy
from
you.
D
J
A
That
would
potentially
harm
the
value
of
the
standard
license.
Holders
is
what
I'm,
guessing
that
they'll
say,
and
so
that
would
be
the
drawback
and
maybe
they'll
talk
about
that.
The
benefit
would
be
that
it'd
be
easy
to
open
a
restaurant
and
be
able
to
sell
alcohol,
and
we
could
have
more
restaurants
in
town,
but
we
it
wouldn't
give
us
the
right
to
have
more
bars
that
don't
sell
food,
so
any
other
council
comments
or
questions.
E
D
K
Half
I've
owned
these
licenses
for
over
30
years,
I
owned
them
for
an
investment
I
understood
what
they
cost
when
I
bought
him
and
the
money
I'd
have
to
borrow
to
own
this
liquor
license
and
to
run
a
restaurant
nut,
butter
and
I'm.
Looking
here
sitting
in
front
of
my
council
members,
my
peers
saying
well,
it
sounds
like
a
good
day
to
lower
liquor
licenses
to
$100,000.
K
You
know
to
me
it's
just
a
crazy,
crazy
idea.
There's
rules
and
regulations
on
these
little
liquor
licenses
have
been
placed
forever
and
its
per
capita
over
town.
How
many
liquor
licenses
we
should
have,
and
we
played
the
game
of
counting
licenses
coming
into
the
city
for
years
and
years
and
we've
overwhelmed
our
city
with
liquor
licenses.
Everyone
knows
that's
a
problem,
but
it's
happened
and
it's
done
and
to
open
up
the
can
of
worms
of
how
do
we
be
value
our
licenses?
K
That
way,
you
know
you're
talking
to
value
in
our
licenses
in
half,
and
many
people
still
owe
money,
probably
old,
180
hundred
ninety
two
hundred
thousand
for
their
liquor
license
ooh.
And
how
can
you
devalue
at
that
to
a
hundred
thousand?
You
know
everyone
wants
more
businesses
and
more
things
to
come
to
Watertown.
What
are
you
going
to
hurt
the
people
that
are
here
taking
care
of
these
liquor
licenses?
K
What
happens
if
they
start
out
and
they're
just
a
great
food,
restaurant
and
everything's
going
well
and
they
catch
on
to
be
a
place
where
people
come
and
drink
and
all
of
a
sudden
that
number
creeps
over
their
food
and
they've
invested
10
years
of
the
city
of
Watertown,
they
may
be
you're
gonna
go
back
and
take
that
license
away
from
them.
You
know
those
are
the
things
that
I
don't
think
people
are
thinking
of
it
all
and
that
we
can't
control.
You
know
the
things
that
are
controlled
with
the
Elector
license
is
control
them.
K
There's
certain
amounts
of
them.
You
have
to
get
fingerprinted
background
checks.
You
have
to
become
the
front
of
the
City
Council
to
be
approved,
and
that
is
the
way
I
think
they
should
be
kept.
You
know
until
we
come
up
with
a
solution
on
how
we
don't
devalue
our
liquor
licenses,
and
that
is
really
what
I
have
came
here
to
say
is
we're
just
sitting
here
with
a
yes
vote.
You
will
devalue
my
liquor
license
today
by
50%
and
I.
K
Don't
know
what
I've
done
wrong
that
anyone
would
do
that
to
us
that
have
been
in
business
for
multiple
years
with
these
liquor
licenses
and
I.
Just
think
it
would
be
a
horrible
vote
and
a
horrible
way
to
vote
on
that.
You
know
they
want
to
buy
it
license
for
two
hundred
and
five
thousand
and
compete
with
us.
That's
fine.
They
have
to
go
borrow
that
money
just
like
we
did
and
they
have
to
charge
the
same.
We
do
you
know
you
come
in
and
bar
across
the
street.
K
I
only
have
to
pay
a
hundred
thousand
for
his
liquor.
License.
He's
gonna
sell
his
product
cheaper
than
me,
because
I
haven't
know
that
the
bank
I
have
to
pay
and
those
are
the
things
that
were
just
looking
for
development,
but
I
think
you're
gonna
hurt
the
guys
that
are
been
supportive
to
the
city
for
years
and
years
and
years
by
doing
such
a
thing,
I'm
and
that's
really
I
called
eight
or
ten
bar
owners
today
that
I
know
personally
and
they
all
earn
the
same
thing.
K
This
is
a
bad
idea
for
the
liquor
industry
in
Watertown
and
that's
all
I
really
needed
to
say
another
political
person.
I
don't
like
to
be
in
the
eye
at
all
I'm
in
business,
I,
don't
like
to
be
one
way
or
the
other
way,
I
like
to
be
neutral.
If
I,
can
this
isn't
a
neutral
item?
You
know
you're
just
you're
getting
into
something
that
I
don't
think
we
should
be
involved
in
this
liquor
license
thing.
I
know
it's
a
difficult
thing
to
deal
with
as
a
city,
but
I
think
we
have
plenty
of
restaurants.
K
I,
don't
think
we're
missing
anything
I
think
our
city
is
thriving
and
when
we
get
a
population
growth.
So
when
we
should
be
talking
about
more
liquor
licenses,
not
Intel,
we
have
no
population
growth,
and
that
is
to
me
the
most
concerning
thing.
I
have
in
the
city
of
Watertown
is
a
lack
of
population
growth
and
that's
kind
of
my
two
cents
of
that
resolution
on
the
liquor
licenses.
Thank
you
for
giving
my
two
minutes.
Thank
you.
Thank.
I
Well,
if
you
were
to
do
that,
then
you
ant.
People
like
myself
that
have
a
license
in
a
restaurant
I
would
go
in
there.
I
would
I
would
be
in
that
six
percent
food
part
of
it
I
would
I,
could
go
out
and
come
up
here
and
buy
the
restaurant.
Slash
liquor
license
for
25
grand
take
my
existing
liquor
license
and
go
out
and
compete
with
the
shooters,
the
docks,
the
Duffy's
and
the
spur
keys
of
the
world.
I
You
know
if
you
did
that,
if
you
Lord
it's
where
okay
I'm,
not
gonna,
save
if
Rajat
Foxy's
has
a
60%
food,
but
if
he's
the
same
way,
he
took
my
beer
and
buy
a
restaurant.
Slash
liquor
license
then
take
these
little
liquor
license
and
go
out
and
start
another
bar
to
be
with
all
the
bar
bars
that
are
in
town,
and
you
could
just
ruin
a
lot
of
stuff
for
a
lot
of
people.
I
I
Up
that
many
more
ways
like
Roger
said
our
population
isn't
going
up
while
we're
doing
a
split
in
the
bio,
and
we
see
that
now
and
in
the
big
stores
in
town
keeps
putting
the
pie
up
with
the
internet.
Now
we
got
buildings
setting
around
set
and
empty
because
they
can't
compete
well
did
hate
to
see
with
with
this
industry
also.
So
any
questions
of
me
at
all
I
do
councilman.
I
N
D
I
Mean
there
there
is,
there
is
some
Woodrow
State
Bar
restaurants,
that
paid
more
than
two
hundred
and
five
thousand
for
their
license.
Okay,
because
they
didn't
want
to
deal
with
the
I
call.
Restaurant
splash
liquor
license,
so
they
can
walk
to
the
open
market
at
that
time
years
ago
and
they
spent
I
think
it
was
215
or
220
for
their
license.
So
and
there's
other
people
that
I
know
that
spent
one
hundred
and
eighty
hundred
eighty
five
thousand
some
garden
somebody
five
thousand
invested
I
mean
they've
got
a
lot
of
money
invested
in
their
licenses.
I
G
I
To
to
yours
exactly
exactly
right,
exactly
right,
yep,
but
just
like
it
was
before
I
mean
that's
I.
Believe
if
I
can
ask
man
a
question,
there
are
certain
towns
in
the
state
of
South
Dakota
that
hasn't
lowered
their
prices.
They
still
left
their
license
at
fair
market
value.
As
that
quick
statement
to
say,
that's.
J
I
So
because
each
town
back
ten
years
ago,
each
community
put
out
a
letter
to
all
the
liquor
license
holders
what
they
had
a
cost
in
to
them,
how
much
they
head
into
him.
What
would
be
the
fair
market
value
for
these
new
restaurants?
Slash
liquor
licenses,
so
every
community
had
a
different
price
on
their
licenses.
J
I
205,000,
so
everybody
had
different
prices,
because
each
city
had
a
different
value
on
what
the
licenses
were
going
for
and
watertown
the
high
price
at
that
time
was
two
hundred
five
thousand.
So
that's
what
the
city
put
the
price
as
everybody
kept
their
value
of
their
license,
what
they
were
worth
their
worth
or
what
they
had
into
him,
and
that's
why
everybody
agreed
that
if
a
new
restaurant
want
to
come
to
town
and
serve
liquor,
they'd
have
to
pay
two
hundred
five
thousand
to
get
that
particular
license
to
answer
your
question.
Josh
yeah.
O
I
O
O
I
E
P
J
No,
not
necessarily
no
I,
think
that
so
for
some
reason,
when
the
ordinance
was
first
passed,
there
was
a
deadline,
but
on
another
resolution,
I'd
be
more
comfortable
if
we
passed
a
resolution
that
said
205
and
it
would
be
repealed
at
the
next
chance
that
the
council
takes
to
do
so
or
change
just
so.
We
have
a
continuing
resolution
on
the
books
at
205
in
case
somebody
does
come
in
and
want
to
buy
it
I
would.
P
Cuz
I
gotta,
say
I
mean
we're
hearing
information
that
we
had
not
heard
before.
I
got
to
say
until
a
couple
hours
ago,
I
had
heard
nothing
from
anybody
in
the
public
as
far
as
license
holders
or
public
in
general.
About
this
issue,
I'd
be
inclined
either
to
do
what
you're
suggesting
or
to
table
it.
If
we
table
do,
we
have
to
bring
it
back
then
next
meeting
for
action,
one
way
or
the
other.
The.
J
J
H
There,
a
time
frame
a
defined
time
frame
at
which
this
ordinance
can
be
changed
again
in
the
future,
so
I
mean
whatever
whatever
we
approved
now,
whatever
it
is
doesn't
matter,
could
it
be
changed
six
months
from
now,
if
the
council
sold
decided
or
a
year
from
now
or
is
there
a
specified
period?
That's.
J
Another
one
of
those
questions
that
I
don't
think
the
legislators
addressed
yet
which
would
seem
to
be
something
that
they
probably
should,
because
that
could
potentially
create
issues.
If
two
years
from
now
we
decide
to
lower
it
again
or
or
whatever
so,
but
right
now,
no
there's!
No.
We
basically
have
free
reign
to
set
that
license
fee
by
resolution.
If
we've
adopted
the
ordinance
of
that,
any
time
we
want
like
can
I
throw.
I
Something
in
quick
sure,
just
like
cloud
nine
out
there
they
spent
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars
just
cut
down
with
you
know,
putting
up
a
big
building.
I
was
now
guess
they
could
walk
in
town
for
on
her
grand
and
have
a
liquor
license
and
restaurant
just
put
the
pie
with
them
again
too,
and
so
it's
it's
maybe
dealt
with
this
two
hundred
five
thousand
dollars
for
the
last
ten
years.
That's
the
word
should
be
a
didn't.
Come
on
water.
Tell
them
tell.
H
Just
want
to
make
a
comment:
I
give
something
that
bothers
me
here
and
I
understand
that
it's
personal
business,
but
we're
not
privy
to
what
a
license
actually
sells
for
we
transacted
with
the
approval
of
a
transfer.
Well,
we're
never
made
aware
of
what
a
license
sells
for.
That's
that's
true!
Well,.
I
H
Have
an
arbitrary
number
I
mean
I
hear
all
kinds
of
numbers
in
there
you
mentioned
anywheres
from
one
seventy,
seventy
five
all
the
way
up
to
220
yeah.
So
our
number,
in
my
opinion,
is
just
an
arbitrary
number.
If
I
had
a
way
to
validate
that
against
real
numbers,
real
sales
be
an
easier
decision
for
me
get.
Maybe
the
real
number
is
one
hundred
and
eighty
thousand
and
not
205.
You
see
what
I'm
saying
it,
but
we
don't
have
any
way
to
validate
what
the
market
value
is
or
has
been
on
those
licenses.
I
Yeah
they
probably
been
over
the
years
they've
been
on
like
a
supply
and
demand.
You
know
ten
years
ago
or
I,
don't
want
to
mention
the
restaurant
that
paid
220,
but
you
know
I'd
have
to
have
to
ask
them
first.
If
they
would
want
to
share
that
information,
but
I
know
they
were
out
there
paying
215
or
220
for
the
license.
I
know
those
people,
that's
you
know,
I've
paid
one
hundred
and
eighty
cuz
I've
not
sold
it
to
him
and
that
people
pay
175
and
you
know
so.
H
I
Know
I
can
argue
with
that
Mike
I
can't,
but
the
hundred
thousand
isn't
the
right
number,
though
that's
for
sure,
and
maybe
the
number
is
190
or
it's
195
or
200,
or
if
it's
180
whatever
it
might
be,
but
it
isn't
a
hundred,
that's
for
sure,
because
you
definitely
would
lower
all
the
license
values
in
town,
then
there's
20
and
23.
Am
I
right
or
right,
2077.
J
K
K
People
short
of
liquor
licenses
right,
we're
five
licenses
more
than
we
should
have
and
I
think
people
don't
look
at
that
part.
We
have
five
licenses
to
many
right
now
and
you
want
to
add
to
that.
We
have
too
many
licenses
now
the
way
the
rules
and
regulations
have
been
sapped.
You
know
and
to
me
it's
just
their
shot.
You
know
this
topic
should
be
discussed
when
we
get
to
27,000
people.
I
live
in
the
city
of
Watertown.
It
should
not
be
talked
until
that
point.
J
A
We
know
how
other
communities
compared
like
Brookings
and
Aberdeen,
which
have
a
$100,000
fee
on
their
liquor
licenses.
Do
we
know
how
many
liquor
licenses
they've
sold
at
that
fee
or
how
many
total
they
have
compared
to
their
population?
Is
it
less
because
they
have
more
licenses
and
so
they're
I?
Don't.
J
I
J
I
J
I
So
never
Dean,
for
instance,
if
Aberdeen
has
not
changed
or
changed
their
liquor.
/
restaurant
license
two
hundred
grand
and
that's
fair
market
value
ten
years
ago,
when
they
did
the
survey
in
Aberdeen,
they
put
a
price
of
a
hundred
grand
on
their
licenses
because
that's
what
people
were
selling
them
for
and
they
were
moving
around.
That
was
the
top
value
in
Aberdeen.
At
that
same
time,
my.
H
H
J
K
H
F
H
E
J
I
But
tonight
we're
sitting
here
taking
the
price
of
what
the
fair
market
value
was
when
the
ordinance
was
done
and
we're
sitting
here.
Do
you
guys
are
trying
to
convince
that
we
should
lower
the
price
of
that
and
that's
the
problem
that
we
have
I
mean
the
license.
Is
there
we
agree
with
that,
but
the
price
should
be
at
two
hundred
five
thousand
or
somewhere
close
to
it,
shouldn't
be
at
a
hundred
for
sure
and
for
sure
shouldn't
go
to
25
councilmen.
I
N
I
think
that
one
of
the
things
that's
happened
since
that
new
bill
was
put
in
at
the
state
level.
I
think
cities
like
Sioux
Falls
that
are
going
rampant,
love
this,
because
they
can
get
a
lot
more
people,
a
lot,
more
bars
and
and
so
on,
and
sometimes
I
remember,
seeing
that
on
the
television
several
times
about
how
they're
really
pushing
for
this
kind
of
thing
in
Sioux
Falls.
N
They
wanted
that
because
their
city
is
Roger
said
if
you're
expanding
by
5,000
people
and
they
are
every
month,
it's
a
great
deal
for
them
and
may
not
only
a
good
deal
for
Watertown.
After
listening
to
the
other
side
of
the
coin,
it
may
be
that
we
are
just
better
off
the
way
we
are
thank
you
day,
onii-sama.
P
J
A
G
That
so
this,
this
105
is
obviously
not
the
correct
number.
There
are
205
or
dropping
it
down,
205,
so
I'm.
Maybe
the
business
owners
can
work
with
us
to
help
come
up
with
a
fair
price.
You
know,
I
mean
I,
understand,
that's
confidential
information,
but
let's,
let's
work
together
and
try
to
get
a
fair
price,
then,
and
put
it
in
this
ordinance
did.
K
Sold
me
a
liquor
license.
Okay,
we
have
two
people
are
gonna.
Tell
you
the
truth:
I
paid
you
180
thousand
dollars,
I.
Think
Larry
for
that
license
in
there
15
years
ago.
Should
I
not
have
a
little
value
increase
in
that
license
should
still
be
worth.
One
hundred
and
eighty
should
be
worth
205
I
pillow
should
be
wear
205,
I
paid
184,
bade
abbu
for
Larry
shouldn't
it
be
worth
205
to
me.
You
know,
I
think
about
you.
License
is
205.
You
see.
K
Some
licenses
have
been
sold
for
150
170
180
it's,
but
does
that
license
come
along
with
a
business,
that's
thriving
and
making
money
so
that
changes
the
value
of
a
license
a
little
bit.
You
know
if
you're
doing
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
their
liquor
license
or,
if
you're
doing
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
with
alexinnz.
Of
course,
those
two
licenses
are
worth
different
money.
They
do.
K
Q
Off
thanks
guys
for
coming
in
and
your
input,
you
know:
I'm,
not
I'm,
not
altogether
sure
I
understand
what
all
the
benefits
would
be
moving
forward.
That's
something
I
think
we
need
to
define
what
the
opportunities
would
be.
If
we
did
do
this,
if
we
did
allow
this
additional
type
license,
I,
don't
know
what
that
I,
don't
really
know
for
sure
outside
of
what
we've
said
so
far
as
we,
we
think
that
we
might
be
able
to
bring
in
some
more
restaurants,
but.
I
D
I
A
F
I
R
At
me
or
me,
I
just
make
a
couple
of
quick
comments,
because
I
was
happened
to
be
in
the
legislature
when
this
was
brought
up
and
first
of
all,
I.
Don't
personally
have
an
opinion
as
to
what
you
should
do
on
this
and
I'm
glad
I
don't
have
to
make
the
decision,
because
frankly,
government
made
a
huge
problem
out
of
this
years
ago,
when
it
created
licenses
and
then
allowed
them
to
be
allowed
them
to
be
sold
on
the
open
market,
but
created
a
monopoly
or
oligopoly.
R
R
It
was
the
it
was
because
there
was
a
battle
between
the
desire
for
development
and,
as
I
recall
it
primarily
in
Rapid
City,
but
certainly
Sioux
Falls
would
have
been
on
the
same
page
and
frankly,
most
of
the
other
cities
note
they
had
the
same
feeling
that
the
quality
of
life
and
the
economic
development
folks
were
encouraging
a
way
to
open
doors.
To
more
restaurants,
I
understand
if
you're
a
restaurant
owner
already
here,
you
don't
want
more,
but
for
the
most
part,
development
interests
would
would
be
served
by
additional
restaurants.
R
That
was
where
the
push
came
from.
Not
surprisingly,
the
the
counter
push
was
from
those
folks
that
already
held
licenses,
and
we
were
heavily
lobbied
by
both
sides
and
the
workout
that
came
was.
Was
this
work
out
trying
to
create
a
new
product
and
the
mayor's?
Absolutely
right?
It's
not
exactly
the
same
product.
It
is
a
product
that
is
worth
less
because
you
can
do
less
with
it,
so
it
doesn't
make
sense
that
it
would
have
the
same
price.
Otherwise
the
law
would
have
just
said.
R
You
know
it
has
to
forever
be
whatever
the
market
price
is,
but
it
was
to
give
the
local
local
governments
the
opportunity
to
do
this,
but
to
help
you
focus
its
back
on
development
and
I.
Guess
I
would
urge
you
to
talk
to
your
development
people
as
well
as
protecting
what
these
folks
have
invested
and
it's
a
horrible
private
property
problem
that
was
created
by
government,
but
that's
the
background
of
it.
Thank
you.
R
Q
R
Sure
and
I
think
that's
why
the
cities
individually
were
allowed
to
first
of
all,
even
decide
if
they
wanted
to
market
them
and
then
second
so
to
set
them
and
for
what
it's
worth
I
mean.
I,
don't
disagree
at
all
with
what
these
gentlemen
have
said.
As
far
as
the
private
market,
you
know
that
there
have
been
people
that
have
paid
200
or
more
for
them
in
watertown,
for
the
complete,
unlimited
license.
I,
don't
think
this
was
a
great
workout,
but
I'll
tell
you
it
wasn't
done
quickly.
It
was
a
knock-down
drag-out
battle
around.
D
R
With
trying
to
help
protect
the
private
property
value,
if
these
folks,
that
did
invest
in
it
at
a
time
when
they
had
reason
to
believe
those
licenses
that
all
licenses
were
going
to
continue
to
be
limited-
and
you
know
you
can't
done
do
what
past
legislatures
or
City
Council's
did.
But
that's
where
the
problem
came
from.
Is
this
government
created
scarcity,
artificial
scarcity?
In
a
sense,
we.
A
P
A
R
A
E
J
This
campaign,
finance
ordinance,
would
essentially,
in
a
nutshell,
police
on
two
candidates
for
local
office.
The
same
campaign
filing
campaign
finance
filing
requirements
as
the
legislative
candidates
are
required
to
fulfill.
So
it
would
require
a
statement
of
organization
of
your
campaign
statement
of
financial
interest,
which
we
are
codifying
here,
that
is
already
required
by
statute
and
it's
already
being
completed,
but
it
is
being
catified
here
in
ordinance.
It
would
require
a
pre-election
report
no
no
later
than
11
days
prior
to
the
election.
J
It
would
require
a
post-election
report
and
it
would
require
a
year-end
report,
and
there
was
a
question
this
morning
about
the
forms
that
would
be
produced
by
the
city.
The
state,
the
state
Secretary
of
State
has
a
sample.
Basically
a
local
jurisdiction
form
that
we
can
utilize
for
this
purpose.
Of
course
we
have
the
ability
to
come
up
with
our
own
if
we
would
choose
to
do
so,
but
we
wouldn't
need
to
reinvent
the
wheel
in
that
sense.
So
anybody
has
any
questions
of
okay.
A
P
J
There
are,
there
are
civil
penalties
in
in
statute
that
this
references,
I,
believe
it's
$50
a
day
and
I'd
have
to
double-check
that.
But
there
is
a
daily
penalty
for
failure
to
failure
to
file
on
time,
and
it
also
provides
the
ability
for,
in
this
case,
the
city
attorney,
to
to
prosecute
violators
for
for
violations
of
a
class
2
misdemeanor.
But.
P
H
J
H
J
J
H
J
A
novel
idea,
actually
the
statute
doesn't
require
us
to
adopt
it
in
full.
It
allows
us
to
add
amendments
to
the
statute
that
says
that
local
jurisdictions
have
that
ability.
I,
don't
see
an
issue
of
the
top
of
my
head
with
that.
I
would
have
to
do
a
little
digging
but
to
specify
a
charity
or
something
like
that
where
money
would
go
to
or
if
you
just
wanted
to
specify
charities
generally
or
something
like
that,
we
could
certainly
look
at
language
and
bring
this
back
for
another
reading.
If
you.
H
Anybody
else
you
know,
look
at
what
in
part,
what
of
our
intent
is
here
you're,
not
only
just
disclosure,
but
you
look
at
the
state
laws
and
the
restrictions
on
how
much
an
individual
or
a
company
a
business
who
ever
can
give
to
an
individual
campaign,
and
then
we
have
a
potential
balance
that
we
don't
know
what
that
amounts
going
to
be,
and
it
could
just
be
given
to
a
candidate,
and
that
just
seems
contrary
to
what
I
would
hope.
Our
goal
or
objective
is
here.
I
would
rather
see
any
any
funds
at
the
end.
Q
Did
we
did
you
mention
before
that
this
can
be
carried
over
for
another
campaign?
If
it's
it,
you
left
open
a
special
account
for
those
funds.
Now
would
you
have
to
open
account
anyway?
That's
a
special
account
for
these
funds.
So,
if
you're
running
for
office,
you
need
to
open
up
a
separate
bank
account
correct
for
those
funds
to
reside
correct.
Okay,
thanks.
P
That
now
begs
the
question:
let's
say
we
open
up:
that's
that
special
bank
account
which
I
know
I
did
four
years
ago
for
my
campaign:
okay,
and
that
and
in
that
bank
account
what
we're
dumping
our
own
dollars
as
well
as
as
well
as
donations
that
we're
receiving
at
the
end
of
the
day
when
the
election
is
over.
If
there's
money,
that's
left
in
there
now,
I'm
looking
at
you
know
Mike
what
happened.
That
was
a
lot
of
that
dollars.
P
J
H
L
Councilman
Roby,
oh
my
there's,
a
thought
on
this
is
good
thought,
but
if
you
have
extra
campaign
funds
left
over
and
you're
not
going
to
transfer
them
to
your
next
campaign,
you
can
hold
them
to
your
next
campaign.
If
there
is
indeed
one
it
almost
seems
to
me,
it
should
be
returned
to
the
donors.
You
think
of
people
that
have
run
for
office
raised
a
bunch
of
money
to
back
off.
Then
they
return
to
the
donors
which
donors.
So
the
question
is
I
would
maybe
just
I,
don't
prorate
it
well.
L
B
J
I
would
just
clarify
one
thing,
just
just
for
sake
of
the
discussion.
Of
course,
if
you
did
give
that
that
money,
if
you
close
out
your
account
and
gave
it
to
councilman
l'olam,
he
would
then
have
to
report
that
so
in
the
interest
of
open
government
that
would
there'd
still
be.
There
still
be
sunshine
on
that.
If
you
will,
but
just
want
to
throw
that
out,
there.
O
South
Dakota
codified
law,
it
looks
like
twelve
twenty
seven.
Fifty,
basically
is,
which
is
what
they're
using
basically
says:
donations
are
to
any
other
candidate
political
committee
or
nonprofit
charitable
organization.
So
they're
saying
you
can
give
it
to
a
charitable
organization
if
we
and
if
we
basically
take
South
Dakota's
right.
O
O
O
H
F
H
By
the
way
out
so
you're
gonna
run
for
some
other
office
that
money
can
be
used
for
that
purpose.
Correct
I'm,
saying
at
the
end,
when
you're
not
gonna,
do
it
anymore?
You
have
your
best
intentions
to
not
hold
office
anymore
and
you've
got
money
in
the
account.
It
just
seems
wrong
to
me
because
we
don't
know
what
those
dollars
are
just
seemed
wrong:
that
I'm
limited
as
a
person
to
50
or
100.
Aware
of
that
number
is.
H
A
L
Matt,
if
I
may
put
you
on
the
spot
on
this
one
I
am
Mike.
That's
a
noble
idea:
I
like
the
idea
it's
partially
covered
in
the
law.
At
this
point,
Matt
in
your
opinion,
is
the
way
that's
written.
Do
you
foresee
an
issue
with
this
and
the
future?
Is
it
something
we
monitor
or
do
we
need
to
add
something
to
change
something.
J
Councilman
an
issue
as
in
you
know,
somebody
dumping
all
their
campaign
cash
to
somebody
else.
I
think
it
could
be
something
we
monitor.
Of
course,
I
would
hope
that
if
somebody
was
running
for
office,
they
would
likely
use
up
a
lot
of
their
money
and
not
get
more
than
they
then
they
need,
but
you
know
in
theory,
but
it's
certainly
something
we
could
monitor.
If
this
isn't
passed
tonight.
More
than
likely,
it's
going
to
be
very
difficult
to
have
this
be
enforced
for
this
election,
just
an
FYI.
A
D
A
O
C
O
C
E
P
H
H
A
You
councillor
Danforth,
understood
all
right
item
number:
seven
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
science,
healthy
coded
Department
of
Transportation
Transportation
Alternatives
agreement
with
the
state
of
South
Dakota
Department
of
Transportation
for
Transportation
Alternatives
project
P
ta
PU
25-piece
en
zero,
seven,
four
five
for
the
accepted
funding
under
the
fixing
America's
Surface
Transportation
Act,
the
fast
act
for
transportation,
alternatives
and
I'll.
Look
for
a
motion,
second,
for
approval
move
by
l'olam
second,
by
Bueller,
and
we
have
a
couple
of
folks
here
to
talk
about
this.
M
F
T
You
this
request
is
for
the
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
the
agreements
with
the
Department
of
Transportation
for
the
federal
transportation
alternative
grant
that
we
were
awarded
we
found
out
in
January.
This
is
the
one
that
we
applied
for
last
summer.
We
give
a
presentation
in
November
and
again
found
out
in
January.
This
would
be
for
the
section
of
Crater
betrayal
on
the
Campostella.
It
would
be
from
Park
View
Drive
to
Linwood
Drive
on
the
west
side
of
old
139.
Is
that
I
think
it's
our
yourself.
A
T
T
H
S
We
will
apply
it
in
the
next
grant
cycle
again
and
ideally
it
will
be
bid
as
one
giant
package.
It's
just
split
out
differently.
If
we're
not
successful
with
the
second
award,
then
we
will
be
bidding
this
on
its
own
and
hopeful
for
a
future
award.
It
is
a
time-consuming
process,
so
I
mean
even
from
now
to
construction,
we're
a
few
years
out
when.
P
M
A
All
right,
thank
you
any
other
questions
or
comments
we
applied
for
the
grant.
We
are
awarded
the
grant,
and
this
enables
me
to
sign
the
grant
agreement
so
I
have
a
motion.
Second,
on
the
floor,
all
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
Item
number.
Eight
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
two-year
airline
transportation
system.
Lease
agreement
with
Skywest
airlines,
Inc
and
I
will
look
for
a
motion
and
second
for
approval
by.
A
U
So
this
is
a
two-year
agreement.
This
follows
the
essential
air
service
contract
dates,
so
the
price
has
changed.
From
the
last
agreement
we
had
with
California
Pacific
adi.
We
did
go
to
seven
dollars,
a
square
foot
for
shared
space
and
ten
dollars
a
square
foot
for
exclusive
space.
We
did
a
rate
and
fee
study
in
2016-17
between
a
tri-state
area
and
that's
what
we
found
for
fair
market
value,
which
the
FAA
loves
us
to
get
fair
market
value,
though
this
was
also
approved
by
the
airport
board
today,
in
recommendation
to
go
ahead
with
this.
A
O
U
The
the
air
service
can
switch
every
two
years
per
the
essential
air
service
contract,
so
this
is
a
two
year
agreement
we'll
go
back
out
for
bid
prior
to
the
two-year
agreement
ending,
and
we
should
know
before
this
contract
expires,
who
the
next
carrier
is,
if,
indeed
it
is,
this
carrier
I
would
refer
Matt,
but
I
believe
we
could
extend
this
carrier's
contract,
bringing
it
back
to
you.
If
we
have
both
parties
sign.
U
A
U
315
correct:
you
can
be
there
about
three
o'clock,
we'll
get
everything
set
up,
we'll
have
news
media
out
there,
we're
gonna,
try
and
do
a
water
cannon
blast
with
our
our
trucks
over
the
top
kind
of
a
rainbow
as
they
come
in
we'll
have
a
dedicated
spot
on
the
ramp.
You
get
some
cool
pictures
of
that.
Hopefully,
the
weather
permitting
we'll
have
a
ribbon-cutting
at
about
3:00
3:15
to
3:20.
It
will
be
the
mayor's
speech
and
then
right
after
that,
we'll
have
ribbon
coming
so
come
on
out
for
cake
and
champagne
and
a
good
time.
U
P
Don't
want
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
Todd,
but
I
know
at
the
airport
we're
meeting
I
caught
a
part.
Today
you
had
a
you
were
given
an
update
as
part
of
what
the
status
is
of
our
supplemental
grant,
the
application
with
for
the
term.
You
want
to
say
a
couple
words
about
that
as
far
as
when
we
can
expect
here,
something
I
would.
U
So
if
we
get
supplemental,
the
state
apportionment
already
covered
a
hundred
percent.
So
that's
great
news.
We
were
kind
of
hinging
on
that
a
little
bit.
They
wanted
to
not
spend
so
much,
but
but
they
did
give
in
and
spend
the
whole
amount
for
the
517.
So
that's
good
news.
We
should
hear
supplemental
we're
hoping
in
the
next
couple
of
weeks
is
what
we
got
from
the
FAA
last
week.
Now,
there's
no
guarantees
we
could
hear
in
a
month
we
could
hear
tomorrow.
We
don't
really
know.
A
All
right,
moving
on
item
number,
nine
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
memorandum
of
understanding
with
prey
Lakes
healthcare
system.
I,
look
for
a
motion,
second,
for
approval
by
veal
hard
second,
by
Albertson
and
I,
see
Assistant
Fire
Chief
Don
Rowland
is
here
Don.
You
want
to
tell
us
about
this.
V
So
essentially,
what
I
did
is
I
visited
with
the
the
ops
folks
up
there
and
worked
with
attorney
Roby
over
here
to
put
together
a
memorandum
of
understanding
and
basically
the
inter-facility
agreement
states
that
we
are
the
first
choice
for
them
for
transfers
for
other
cities
like
Sioux,
Falls,
Rapid,
City,
I'm
out
number,
two
Aberdeen,
Minneapolis
and
Rochester.
So
essentially,
we'd
be
the
first
to
write
again.
What
happens
in
this
agreement?
V
A
A
A
D
A
All
right
glad
you're
there
item
number
10
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
temporary
occupancy
permit
with
BNSF
Railway
Company
I'll,
look
for
a
motion,
second
for
approval,
and
then
I'll
explain
this
move
by
Danforth
and
second
by
Roby.
Okay,
with
the
flood
emergency
that
we
had
recently,
there
was
a
concern
that
we
might
need
to
place
a
berm
across
the
railroad,
and
so
we
had
to
get
permission
from
the
railroad
in
order
to
do
that
which
we
did.
A
I
had
declared
an
emergency
just
prior,
so
I
went
ahead
and
signed
this
agreement
without
counsel
authorization,
which
the
declaration
of
emergency
allowed
me
to
do
legally.
But
I
wanted
the
council
to
be
aware
that
I
did
that
and
in
case
they
wanted
to
ask
any
questions
or
understand
fully
what
it
was.
We
were
actually
doing
here,
there's
a
pretty
big
deal
to
close
a
railroad
and,
if
luckily
we
didn't
have
to,
but
if
we
did
have
to
we're
very
grateful
that
the
railroad
gave
us
permission
and
they
waived
the
fee
for
it
too.
A
So
that
was
really
great.
Are
there
any
questions
about
this
or
comments?
We
had
perfect
weather
conditions
had
we
had
rain,
we
could
have
had
a
completely
different
situation
also
if
the
temperature
had
remained
warm
longer.
We
also
could
have
had
a
completely
different
situation,
but
we
got
out
there
in
front
of
it
and
had
the
levies
beefed
up
before
hand,
and
we
were
ready
in
case
we
had
flooding.
We
still
do
have
a
little
bit
of
flooding
at
the
lakes.
A
Both
lakes
are
experiencing
flooding
right
now,
a
pelican
and
camp
ESCA,
but
the
roadways
are
all
clear
in
town
and
I
understand:
South
Lake
Drive,
which
had
water
over.
It
is
also
now
clear,
so
waters
are
receding
and
it
will
be
a
slow
time
down,
but
hopefully
the
weather
will
continue
to
cooperate
and
we
won't
bounce
back
up
into
another
flood
emergency.
So
if
there
aren't
any
questions,
I
will
go
ahead
and
look
for
action.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye.
R
A
J
You
Mary
yes!
So,
as
most
everyone
knows,
the
current
version
of
the
Charter
reads
that
every
five
years
terminal
charter
revision,
Commission
convenes
and
discusses
that
no
less
than
four
meetings.
Any
recommendations
for
changes
to
the
Charter
and
a
group
was
appointed.
Two
members
were
appointed
from
each
council
person
and
one
from
the
mayor.
They
met
I,
believe
seven
or
six
times
so
seven
times
and
the
ordinance
states
that
they
shall
have
their
final
presentation
by
the
first
meeting
of
April
and
it
being
the
first
meeting
of
April
the
Chairman
mr.
W
Thank
you
attorney
Roby
Thank,
You,
mayor
and
council.
I
did
do
in
our
preliminary
report
that
I
that
I
gave
you
on
the
18th.
Many
of
those
things
and
I
know
that
you
are
all
supplied
with
the
revised
Home
Rule
Charter
the
additions,
subtractions
Corrections
they're,
all
in
red,
should
be
in
your
packet
as
well
as
what's
posted
in
public
records.
W
So
from
the
initial
recommendations
that
we
brought
on
the
18th
to
today,
there's
only
a
few
changes
that
were
made
so
I'll
just
highlight
those
few
changes
that
were
made
and
then
I'll
run
into
this
PowerPoint
powerpoints.
Basically,
a
synopsis
of
the
work
that
that
this
Commission
has
done,
and
just
if
you
could
afford
me
the
opportunity
to
thank
the
Commission
members
themselves,
it
was
really
just
a
great
joy
to
work
with
them.
W
I
know:
I've
got
an
an
seater
back
Barry,
as
one
of
our
commission
members
in
the
crowd
today,
so
I
would
I
would
thank
her
and
recognize
her
in
public
and
all
the
other
members
that
are
most
likely
at
home
glued
to
their
computers
or
televisions
watching
this
today
with
bated
breath.
So
some
of
the
changes
that
we've
done
since
the
initial
8
presentation
on
the
18th
one
of
the
things
that
we
change
is
in
this
in
this
Home
Rule,
Charter
you'll,
see
city
council
is
referenced
and
capitalized
throughout
the
document.
W
That
now
means
both
in
this
change.
If
the
voters
would
elect
to
do
that
that
the
elected
council
is
both
council
and
mayor,
so
throughout
that
document,
you'll
see
either
city
council
or
governing
body
city
council
government
governing
body
are
all
interchangeable.
In
this
document
we
were
also
asked
to
look
at
term
limits
and
after
some
discussion
on
that,
we
decided
that
it
would
not
be
brought
forward
to
the
the
change
to
the
Charter
to
put
term
limits
inside
the
Charter
itself.
We
also
from
the
information
that
we
presented
on
the
18th.
W
Until
today
we
did
move
the
city
finance
officer
into
section
4
of
the
Charter
before
it
was
in
its
own
section
and
I'll
get
to
that
in
the
presentation
here
momentarily
and
then
the
onboarding
process
was
also
something
that
we
discussed
at
our
final
meeting
and
that
onboarding
process
will
also
be
spelled
out
in
this
presentation.
Slideshow.
So
I'll
run
through
this
without
questions
it's
under
six
minutes,
so
it's
it's
pretty
quick
and
we'll
go
from
there.
W
So
based
on
the
meetings
that
the
Home
Rule
Charter
Commission
has
had,
it
is
our
recommendation
that
we
change
our
form
of
government
from
a
strong
mayor
to
a
council-manager
form
of
government.
This
council-manager
form
of
government
encourages
open
communication
between
the
citizens
and
their
elected
governments.
It's
a
system
of
local
government
that
that
combines
strong
political
leadership
of
the
elected
officials
or
governing
body
like
a
reference
with
the
professional
managerial
experience
of
an
appointed
local
government
manager.
W
They
establish
policy
the
direction
and
vision
of
the
city.
They
approve
and
control
all
of
the
budget
and
spending.
Just
like
you
do
right
now.
You
approve
all
expenditures.
You
also
approve
and
authorize
all
contractual
agreements,
just
like
you've
done,
and
you
also
have.
The
governing
body
also
has
the
power
to
hire,
supervise
and
terminate
the
city
manager
based
on
simple
majority
of
those
governing
bodies.
W
Once
the
decisions
are
made
by
the
governing
body,
the
manager
implements
them
regardless
of
his
or
her,
whether
or
not
that
his
he
or
she
agrees
with
that
decision
governing
body
makes
the
rules
the
city
manager
implements
those
rules.
City
manager
is
typically
a
career
public
administrator.
They
serve
as
the
chief
administrative
officer
of
the
city's
workforce.
I
mean
they
are
in
charge
of
the
department
heads
they
allow
the
department
heads
to
manage
their
people,
but
they
set
that
they
administer
and
are
the
oversight
for
all
departments,
they're
hired
based
on
education,
experience
and
training.
W
The
hiring
process,
the
july
2019
election,
the
election-
that's
coming
up
right
now.
That's
part
of
that
onboarding
process
that
we
wanted
to
make
sure
we
had
clarity
when
we
presented
this
to
you
so
those
ten
council
members
will
be
the
individuals
that
interview
and
hire
that
new
city
manager.
They
will
determine
the
compensation
and
they
will
determine
start
date.
W
The
proposed
transitional
structure,
the
current
mayor
mayor
based
on
the
rules,
will
continue
in
in
this
case,
mayor
Karen's
role
will
continue
until
July
of
2021.
The
five
current
council
members
will
continue
until
July
of
2021
and
the
five
new
council
members
that
will
be
elected
in
this
June's
election
at
the
same
time
as
this
would
serve
until
the
new
council
manager
form
begins
in
July
of
2021
city
manager's
responsibilities.
W
Their
responsibilities
include,
but
certainly
aren't
limited
to.
They
oversee
the
day-to-day
operations
of
the
city.
As
directed
by
mayor
and
council
there,
the
chief
administrative
officer
for
the
city,
they
attend
all
the
council
meetings
they're
allowed
to
participate,
but
don't
vote.
They
keep
the
council
fully
advised
as
to
the
financial
condition
and
future
needs
of
the
city
they
appoint.
Manage
and
suspend
all
department
heads,
including
the
attorney
and
finance
officer
they
direct
and
supervise
all
departments,
offices
and
agencies.
W
They
prepare
and
submit
the
annual
budget
and
capital
program
for
york
for
the
council
approval
they
prepare
and
submit
updates
to
the
five-year
capital
plan
annually
to
council.
They
prepare
and
submit
updates
to
the
five-year
financial
plan
to
the
council
annually.
They
submit
all
financial
reports
and
administrative
activities
to
the
council,
at
least
on
an
annual
basis.
They
will
have
the
ability
to
sign
contracts,
but
only
with
council
approval
or
governing
approval.
They
ensure
all
the
laws
are
ordinances.
W
Acts
of
council
are
fully
executed,
they
provide
staff
support
for
both
mayor
and
council,
and
this
is
always
my
favorite
in
contracts
other
duties
as
assigned,
so
it's
other
duties
as
specified
by
the
Charter
or
other
duties
as
required
by
Council.
Now
you
talk
about
that
reduced
council
size.
All
members
again
will
have
equal
voting
rights
and
have
oversight
of
that
city
manager
with
the
ability
to
hire,
review,
suspend
and
replace
that
city
manager.
W
So
starting
in
July
of
2021,
the
council
members,
the
council
or
governing
bodies
would
reduce
from
ten
members
to
seven
voting
members
and
it's
our
recommendation
based
on
the
information
that
we've
got
from
the
interviews
that
we
have
done
with
existing
city
managers.
Retired
city
managers,
information
that
we've
gotten
from
ICMA,
which
is
the
International
City
County
Management
Association
National
Civic
League.
Their
recommendation
in
that
structure
is
a
reduced
council
size.
So
we
wanted
it.
We
felt
it
was
important
for
us
to
keep
that
Ward
system
in
place.
W
So
starting
in
that
election
of
2021,
you
would
have
five
council
members
one
per
Ward,
then
you
would
be
allowed.
The
city
would
be
allowed
to
vote
for
one
councilmember
at-large
from
any
of
the
five
Ward's.
The
mayor's
voted
that
large
and
then
obviously,
all
seven
members
are
voting
members
of
that
governing
body.
Now,
when
we're
talking
about
having
staggered
terms,
this
is
what
we
did
in
the
draw.
W
Along
with
that
mayor
and
that's
based
on
South
Dakota,
codified
law
I
had
down
here
on
the
bottom,
but
that's
basically,
you
need
to
elect
a
new
governing
body
once
the
new
form
of
government
is
enacted
by
the
voters.
So
that's
the
reason
that
we
had
to
do
that.
Okay,
under
that
new
form
of
government,
the
revised
duties
of
the
mayor
will
be
as
follows.
First
and
foremost,
and
primarily
when
you're
talking
about
a
voter
centric
deal
would
be
to
develop,
establish
to
develop
and
establish
policy
the
direction
and
vision
for
watertown.
W
W
They
have
the
ability-
or
they
present
all
the
or
the
annual
State
of
the
City
address,
they're
recognized
as
the
head
of
government
for
all
ceremonies,
and
they
are
recognized
by
the
head
of
government
for
the
purposes
of
military
law,
ordinateur
emergencies,
and
but
they
do
have
no
administrative
rights.
The
administrative
rights
shift
into
that
hired
professional
city
manager,
one
of
the
other
things
that
we
felt
important
with
this
change
in
form
of
government
was.
We
now
changed
the
council
attendance
requirement.
Now.
W
A
W
I
agree:
it
was
that
we
had
a
great
group.
There
was
a
lot
of
information
that
you
know
we
tried
to
collect
in
a
short
amount
of
time,
so
there
was
a
lot
of
emails
that
you
know:
here's
our
agenda
and
here's
something
that
you
should
do
your
research
on,
so
you
can
come
prepared
and
we
had
a
great
engaging
group.
So
thank
you
for
that.
W
P
Kyle,
do
you
want
to
touch
on
just
briefly,
because
you
was
discussed
at
your
meeting
like
your
last
couple
meetings?
In
fact,
as
far
as
what
role
your
group
is
going
to
take
as
far
as
promoting
or
getting
the
word
out
on
this
or
what
the
expectations
are,
if
you
wouldn't
mind
touching
on
that
just
briefly:
well,.
W
As
far
as
the
Commission
is
concerned,
the
expectations
are
nothing
our
job
is
done,
but
we
felt
as
that
when
it
was
important
as
a
group
to
make
sure
that
we
educated
the
voters
of
the
community
on
the
benefits
to
this.
So
we
have
taken
it
upon
ourselves
to
make
ourselves
available
for
the
press
and
for
newspaper
and
for
all
the
service
clubs
that
are
out
there.
The
presentation
that
I
gave
you
here
is
kind
of
a
minimized
version
of
what
we
would
do,
because
there's
more
questions
that
the
voters
would
have.
N
W
N
L
L
For
example,
when
we
were
promoting
the
wellness
facility,
we
did
a
lot
of
presentations
to
clubs
and
individuals
and
that
kind
of
thing,
but
we
also
did
I,
can't
remember
the
one
we
had
out
at
the
theater
at
the
event
center
and
what
I
remember
from
that
is
there's
so
many
misperceptions
on
issues
like
these,
where
they
come
into
and
you
got
to
get
the
real
story
out
and
if
you
vote
no
or
yes,
based
on
the
real
information.
That's
that's.
L
What
we
want,
but
that
that
solid
information
and
what's
rumor
and
innuendo,
gets
confused.
Sometimes
when
we
had
those
public
meetings
specifically
want
the
event
center.
There
were
people
that
came
in
with
total,
misperceptions
and
said:
okay,
I
didn't
understand
it.
That
way
now
I
know
what
you're
wanting
and
now
I
know,
I'm
gonna
vote,
so
I
just
I
hope
we
do
some
public
meetings
and
open
to
big
crowds.
If
need
be
absolutely.
W
And
thank
you
for
that.
It's
I
did
and
I
will
point
out,
Councilman
solemn.
He
did
reach
out
to
us
and
offer
the
Event
Center
for
that.
So
I
appreciate
that
it
is
our
intent
to
do
some
public
forums,
large
public
forum
event
center
La
Ti.
On
the
on
their
fourth
floor,
if
we
can
coordinate
that
out,
I
agree
with
you,
a
hundred
percent,
that
this
is
an
opportunity
for
our
community.
Much
like
the
h2o
20
visioning
process
was
and
I
just
our
goal
to
make
sure
that
the
voters
are
voting
in
an
educated
manner.
W
H
F
H
W
Was
why
we
made
the
revision
to
enable
this?
The
council
that
is
elected
in
2019,
the
opportunity
to
do
that?
The
reason
is
is
because,
when
you're
budgeting
for
2021,
it's
going
to
be
done
in
2020,
so
the
rationale
was
is
that
it
should
be
accounted
for
and
most
of
the
information
that
we
have
gathered
as
a
commission.
Most
communities
that
do
that
change
of
government
form
will
hire
an
outside
entity.
Certainly
within
your
privy
to
do
that.
W
H
W
Is
my
understanding
you
know
and
I'll
defer
to
Matt,
but
it's
my
understanding
that,
based
on
the
way
that
the
Home
Rule
Charter
is
written
now
and
based
on
South
Dakota,
codified
law,
the
the
city
managers,
mayor
Karen,
would
be
responsible
for
the
administration
of
her
duties
until
the
council
that
is
elected
in
that
twenty
to
one
twenty.
Twenty-One
election
is
sworn
in,
so
the
city
manager
in
year.
W
So
as
a
hypothetical,
if
the,
if
the
council
hops
to
bring
in
the
the
new
hire
city
council,
our
city
manager
position
and
they
come
in
April
first
mayor
Karen
would
still
be
in
charge
of
the
operation
of
day
to
day
with
the
city
manager.
Obviously,
reporting
to
my
guest
by
default.
Matt
can
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
until
the
mayor
until
that
ratification
of
those
councilmembers.
J
Yeah
I
mean
that
could
probably
take
a
couple
different
forms,
I
suppose,
if
they
came
in
say
they
came
in
in
April,
like
Kyle
suggested
and
just
came
in
as
a
kind
of
somebody
that
frankly,
just
maybe
reported
to
the
council
for
those
three
months
and
just
kind
of
floated
there
and
learned
what
was
going
on
in
the
city
until
they
took
took
power
and
in
July.
But
the
way
this
is
written
doesn't
really
prescribe
that
necessarily
so
that'll
be
up
to
the
group
to
decide.
Yeah.
H
J
H
O
A
R
Yeah
Nancy
turbek,
very
I,
just
want
to
make
three
quick
comments.
One
is
that
this
is
a.
It
was
a
tremendous
amount
of
work
and
it
is
a
significant
change
and
it
was
accomplished
in
a
fairly
short
time
period,
not
because
anybody
was
hasty
or
superficial
or
in
any
way
careless,
but
it
was
primarily
accomplished
in
that
time
period,
because
Kyle
aalam
did
an
absolutely
extraordinary
job.
R
R
Second
I
would
echo
I
think
it
was
Don
Robbie's
comments
about
how
important
it
is
for
people
to
be
educated,
because
the
default
position
tends
to
be
no
I
noticed,
for
example,
that
when
the
public
opinion
first
published
on
Facebook,
the
recommendation
and
I
think
they
maybe
even
had
a
at
least
a
rhetorical
question.
Are
you
in
favor
or
not
and
I
started?
Looking
at
the
comments,
lots
of
negative
comments
from
people
that
I
am
quite
certain
we're
not
at
any
of
our
meetings,
and
that
didn't
surprise
me,
but
it
was.
R
It
is
disappointing
when
people's
knee-jerk
reaction
will
be
no-
and
you
happen
to
know
from
your
personal
observation
that
they
were
not
present
to
listen
to
the
various
speakers
or
to
hear
the
discussions
of
the
Commission.
So
I
really
think
it
is
terribly
important
for
people
to
get
educated,
and
the
third
thing
I
would
like
to
say
is
that,
although
our
Commission
and
several
particular
individuals
on
it
will
try
to
take,
you
know
the
leadership
at
getting
the
word
out.
R
We
absolutely
invite
and
encourage
the
mayor
and
the
council
to
speak
up
your
your
folks
who
are
respected
as
being
knowledgeable
on
this,
and
it's
going
to
be
important,
that
the
community
understand
that
the
change
is
not
intended
to
undermine
the
mayor
or
undermine
any
of
the
councilmembers,
either
collectively
or
as
individuals,
and
if
you're
are
supportive
of
this
I
really
urge
you
to
participate
with
us
in
educating
people
and
encouraging
its
support.
Thank
you.
I.
A
W
I
would
echo
that
as
well,
both
Byron
kalise
nipe
as
chair
and
vice-chair
we
feel,
is
part
of
our
duty
to
usher
in
this.
This
educational
piece
to
the
voters
and
I
and
I
appreciate
Nancy's
comments
of
the
diligence,
but
it
was
easy
to
do
because
we
had
a
great
group
and
I
think
everybody
wants.
They
had
delved
into
what
this
allows
our
community
to
do.
I
think
everybody
kind
of
saw
the
light.
That's
in
there.
W
I
have
supplied
a
copy
of
the
full
document
to
the
public
opinion,
as
well
as
both
of
the
radio
stations.
They
all
have.
That
I
will
be
on
one
of
the
radio
stations
tomorrow
as
a
Q&A,
and
we
have
been
invited
into
the
other
radio
station
as
well
certainly
encouraged,
whether
it's
coffee
with
the
mayor
or
anything
like
that
have
those
groups.
G
A
C
Thank
You
mayor
there
was
a
group
of
us
and
I'll
actually
have
Audrey
and
Chris
come
up
for
when
the
council
potentially
has
questions.
But
there
was
a
group
of
us
that
studied
these
RFPs
and
I'll
kind
of
go
through
some
of
the
things,
but
just
a
little
backstory.
We
did
in
2018
put
in
the
budget
for
2019
to
do
a
wage
study.
So
part
of
that
process
is
to
send
out
requests
for
proposals,
and
we
did
that
we
received
for
that
came
back
to
the
city.
C
We,
as
a
group
sat
down
and
I
should
say
it
was
the
mayor,
Matt,
Audra,
Chris
and
myself
who
sat
down,
and
we
reviewed
him
at
that
time.
We
did
determine
that
two
of
them
we
would
kind
of
take
out
of
the
mix
and
really
dive
into
the
two.
The
two
that
we
looked
at
more
closely
was
Khan
drian
associates
as
well
as
McGrath.
C
We
did
a
lot
of
reference,
calls
and
kind
of
just
asked
what
the
experience
was
with
both
of
these
companies.
I
will
say
that
our
group
is
kind
of
pretty
much
half
and
half
with
both
there's
some
similarities
and
some
differences.
The
biggest
thing
with
Condry
has
30
years
of
experience
and
there
are
500
similar
projects
with
state
and
local
governments.
Kandra
is
also
the
one
that
you
will
see
has
been
used
by
some
of
the
cities
throughout
South
Dakota,
Aberdeen,
Rapid,
City
Mitchell
here
on
Pier
I.
C
Think
so
that's
the
one
thing
that
they
have.
The
tie
to
a
lot
of
the
municipalities
that
are
similar
to
us
have
used
Condry
and
associates.
Mcgrath
has
18
years
of
experience.
They
have
over
300
clients
in
34
states.
They
don't
have
quite
as
much
local
as
as
Condrey
does
they're
kind
of
Dodge
City
Kansas.
C
There
was
Northfield
Minnesota
and
then
help
me
out
a
couple
of
my
own
Wyoming,
Sheraton
I
think
so
they
don't
have
quite
the
the
same
presence
in
the
local
when
we
made
our
reference
calls.
Of
course,
with
anything
you
hear
some
of
the
pros
some
of
the
cons.
What
was
attached
to
the
agenda
broke
down
when
we
send
out
the
RFPs.
We
looked
at
four
different
kind
of
categories
that
we
expected
to
get
out
of
it
and
then
you'll
see
the
cost.
C
Condry
would
be
more
obviously
more
expensive
by
their
quotes.
If
we
went
for
the
full
package
where
we
wanted
not
only
the
compensation
classification
study,
but
we
wanted
the
job
descriptions
reviewed
and
if
we
wanted
more
of
a
whole
organisation
structure
review,
then
for
that
total
package
it
was
around
eighty
four
thousand
five
hundred
dollars,
whereas
mcgrath
came
in
that
they
would
do
all
of
those
things
for
forty
nine
thousand
two
hundred
and
fifty.
C
C
So
I
guess
at
this
point
I
think
I'd
like
some
feedback
from
the
council
and
any
of
the
members
of
the
group
to
to
kind
of
step
up
and
say
what
they
think
as
well
in
regards
to.
Are
we
just
looking
for
the
compensation
classification
or
do
we
want
to
take
a
deeper
dive
into
the
jobs,
the
structure
stuff
like
that?
So
I'd
be
open
for
comments
and,
like
I
said,
as
far
as
the
the
group
we're
kind
of
kind
of
right
on
there.
C
Probably
the
last
comments
that
I
will
say
is
I
think
if
you're
looking
for
some
a
group
that
has
more
local,
they
know
our
local
market
I.
Think
Condry
would
would
be
that
pick
if
you're
looking
for
some
new
fresh
eyes
to
look
at
us,
a
little
bit
may
be
different
and
then
provide
the
whole
package.
I
think
McGrath
would
be
the
pick
so
with
that
and
I
don't
know
if
the
mayor
has
anything
to
add.
Yes,.
A
I'd
like
to
add
to
that
the
budget
was
fifty
thousand
and
I
will
have
to
say,
I
think
that
both
of
these
firms
are
entirely
competent.
We
heard
rave
reviews
from
both
references
from
both
of
them
and
I,
so
I'm,
very
confident,
no
matter
who
we
choose
they'll
do
a
good
job
for
us.
I,
don't
think
it's
necessary
that
they've
done
work
in
South
Dakota
for
them
to
do
good
work
in
South
Dakota.
A
They
will
utilize
all
of
the
information
which
is
public
record
for
these
local
towns
in
South,
Dakota,
I
support
McGrath,
because
for
our
budget
we
can
get
the
entire
project
that
we
wanted
to
get
done
done
and
the
organizational
structure
review
is
something
I've
been
doing
myself
and
I
really
would
like
a
professional
opinion
on
that
and
some
help.
They'll
they'll
do
it
for
us.
That's
part
of
the
package
with
McGrath
we'll
have
to
modify
the
budget
if
we
hire
Condry
to
do
that.
A
If
I
had
any
hesitation
about
the
qualifications
of
McGrath
I
would
definitely
go
with
Condry
because
they
have
that
local
knowledge,
and
that
is
worth
something.
But
I
think
that
McGrath
is
very
competent
as
well:
they're,
not
incompetent,
and
they
also
they're
somewhat
smaller
firm.
We
get
more
for
our
money
if
we
choose
McGrath,
so
that's
kind
of
why
I
support
that
does
anybody
else
want
to
Matt?
Did
you
want
to
weigh
in
at
all
I.
L
Maybe
they
see
what
Matt
said,
but
take
a
lot
longer
to
say
it.
You
know
having
the
local
flavor
sometimes
is
great
because
they
understand
your
market
better,
but
a
lot
of
times
inherent
there's
a
bias
that
creeps
into
that.
When
you
do
it
long
enough,
so
I
will
ask
the
kind
of
the
question
you
made.
Is
there
on
a
benefit
to
having
somebody
who
brings
a
fresher
perspective,
I.
C
Think
to
that
point,
I
think
it's
that
unknown,
because
they
they
don't
have
a
presence
yet
in
South
Dakota,
as
far
as
we
can
see
so,
what's
difficult
for
that
is
yeah,
a
fresh
set
of
eyes
is
always
good,
but
then
then
we're
stepping
away
from
the
group
that
we
know
actually
has
presence
here
in
South
Dakota
and
has
done
the
market
here.
So
it's
kind
of
that's
what's
difficult
is
we
haven't
used
either
one
of
these?
So
we
ourselves
don't
have
any
experience
with
any
of
the
RFPs
that
came
in
talisman.
O
A
couple
questions
here
not
having
local
ties
is
I
couldn't
feed
their
search.
I
mean
they
can
do
public
search
was.
Are
they
gonna
be
able
to
contact
the
the
previous
places
that
they've
done
this
on
and
be
able
to
get
that
so,
like
Condry
has
done
them
in
the
past
with
the
four
or
five
communities
you
said?
Is
that
it
does
that
impede
my
grass
search
ability
to
be
able
to
call
them
up
and
say
hey,
we
did
this
in
your
guys's
community.
Is
that
gonna
hurt
them.
O
J
C
Both
had
Condrey
came
in
and
they
said
it
would
be
about
a
four-month.
My
grass
a
little
bit
longer.
They
have
more
of
a
five
month,
is
the
kind
of
the
way
it's
trending
now,
if
we
wanted
to
do
with
mcgrath
part
of
their
time
frame
is
even
longer
if
we
do
that
whole
package,
so
that's
the
thing
with
them
is.
If
we
went
with
mcgrath
and
we
wanted
that
whole
package,
it
does
extend
the
time,
but
it's
it's
not
it's
not
that
bad.
C
If
the
times
extended
I
mean
we
make
that
work
too
within
you
know
it
kind
of
throws
off
our
initial
thought
with
the
budget.
But
the
one
thing
is
is
that
the
council
has
the
authority,
within
the
first
meeting
of
January,
to
amend
the
budget.
If,
if
you
know
we've
put
in
some
type
of
a
cushion
we'll
have
a
point
there
well,
where
we
would
know
where
we're
trending
I
think
they'll
be
keeping
us
up
to
date.
O
D
H
Is
it
possible
that
the
most
critical
work
as
it
relates
to
the
budget
could
be
done
earlier?
You
know
dot
your
I's
cross,
your
T's
with
some
of
the
other
stuff
after
the
fact,
so
that
you
you
have
you're,
truly
got
your
wage
information
to
apply
to
your
budget.
Is
that
is
that
a
possibility
and
then
the
the
support
detail
or
some
of
the
other
stuff
comes
in
behind
it?.
C
Mcgrath
provided
an
actual
each
step
that
would
come
forward
and
it
looks
like
they
are
having
the
development
of
the
classification
and
salary
system
right
around
that
same
four
month.
Time
frame,
if
we
timed
it
out,
so
they
have
it
like
I
said
they
pushed
it
about
three
three
months
longer,
but
then
that's
to
cover
some
of
their
looks
like
the
job
descriptions.
The
organization
structure
like
that
so
I
would
say
both
are
going
to
be
similar
within
that
four
month
to
get
the
classification
and
salary
system
to
us
question.
H
C
Did
not
do
actual
interviews
with
the
people
we
did.
We
looked
at
both
the
proposals
and
what
we
did
is
we
contacted
their
references
and
then
some
of
them
I
know
Audra
to
has
some
contacts
with
some
of
the
South
Dakota
municipalities.
So
it
was
a
lot
more
of
us
just
calling
the
references
and
like
I
said
it
was
even
though
some
were
references.
We
heard
the
good
and
the
bad
so
I
mean
so
that
was
nice.
That
way,
it
wasn't
all
that
Oh
everything
was
great.
H
I
just
like
to
make
a
comment,
then
I
and
I'm
gonna
kind
of
go
with
Don
I.
You
know
if
I'm
having
heart
surgery
I
want
somebody.
That's
got
all
the
experience
that
they
can
with
this
I,
like
the
notion
of
the
fresh
eyes.
I
do
like
the
fact
that
they've
got
to
come
in
with
a
a
white
board.
That's
completely
bare
and
they've
got
to
do
all
their
homework.
With
current
data,
I'm
inclined
to
go
with
McGrath
myself.
N
G
P
C
A
G
C
And
that's
the
thing
with
how
we
went
out
for
RFPs
I
mean
that's:
what's
nice?
Is
we
put
it
in
local?
We
also
did
contact
a
couple,
other
municipalities
that
had
done
rfp's.
In
the
past
we
got
some
of
their
contacts
and
directly
sent
out
emails
like
here's.
Our
ad,
so
I
mean
I
feel
as
though
we
did
our
job
in
advertising
that
we
were
going
out
for
proposals
and,
like
I
said
we
received
four
back,
and
these
were
the
top
two
that
we
felt
we
wanted
to
dive
into.
C
A
A
A
A
A
A
M
I
myself,
of
a
prime
example
of
that,
drawing
me
back
to
South
Dakota,
albeit
but
coming
from
Wyoming
back
to
South,
Dakota
yeah,
also
along
those
lines
or
the
engineer.
One
position
that
we're
currently
trying
to
fill
and
realizing
that
the
draw
for
that
position
is
not
that
great
and
needing
to
expand
our
advertising
out
into
further
reaches
and
consider
wages
and
compensation.
It's
more
comparable
to
a
regional
effect
is
critical.
M
That
falls
in
line
with
the
discussion
here
as
item
13
in
relation
to
our
urban
planner
position
and
in
assessing
the
positions
in
the
city
engineering
office
and
the
workforce
demands
that
we
have
I
wanted
to
bring.
This
item
forward
Council
for
consideration
to
do
a
salary
adjustment
for
our
urban
planner
position,
albeit
it
is
on
in
advance
of
the
salary
study.
But
what
I
can
also
reinsure?
M
Based
on
the
recent
engineering
contract
that
we
executed
here
at
the
last
council
meeting.
We
know
that
you
know
we're
a
little
bit
pressed
as
far
as
the
workload
goes
right
now
in
the
engineering
office
and
I
feel
like
this
is
a
critical
step
in
retaining
the
current
staff
that
we
have
in
this
particular
position
and
I'd
be
glad
to
help
discuss
any
further
questions
that
the
councilor
may
or
might
have.
A
A
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
old.
Business
and
I
would
like
to
bring
up
the
policy
in
the
city's
personnel
policy
manual,
which
was
just
updated
less
than
six
months
ago.
I
think
at
the
end
of
December,
there's
a
city
employee
that
is
moving
and
would
like
to
remain
an
employee
but
she's
moving
more
than
35
miles,
and
so
she
resigned
and
I.
Just
don't
like
that
in
this
day
and
age,
when
it's
extraordinarily
difficult
to
attract
people,
we
hurt
ourselves
by
making
that
limitation
of
35
miles.
A
If
someone
chooses
to
live
45
miles
away
and
they
have
a
longer
commute,
why
do
we
care?
Why
would
we
want
to
make
that
cut
our
marketplace
short
for
employees?
If
we
have
someone
who's
willing
to
drive
that
far
I,
don't
think
we
should
argue,
and
so
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
get
a
feel
from
the
council.
A
I
know
there
was
some
thought
that
by
having
someone
live
within
35
miles
of
Watertown,
you
would
get
someone
who's
more
invested
in
Watertown
and
therefore
would
be
a
better
employee
and
would
be
less
likely
to
call
in
that
they
can't
come
because
the
roads
are
bad
or
or
whatever
and
I
think
we
would
leave
alone.
The.
A
Employees
that
have
to
be
first
responders
and
I've
got
the
residency
requirement
up
here.
I'm
trying
to
see
the
critical
services
our
standby
employees
are
required
to
live
within
15
miles
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
we
change
that,
but
I
think
that
we
should
not
limit
the
distance
from
which
employees
live
in
order
to
be
employed
in
the
city
of
Watertown
and
I'm.
Just
wondering
if
I
brought
this
up
as
a
change,
would
there
be
opposition?
Does
anybody
agree
or
disagree
with
me?
Councilman.
O
I'd,
the
only
issue
I
would
have
is,
like
you
said:
if
it's
an
essential,
you
know
a
central
employee,
you
know
fire
police,
which
they
have
a
different
radius.
You
know,
maybe
the
only
the
only
concern
I
would
have
would
be
potentially
a
department
head.
You
know
where
they're
in
charge
of
a
certain
amount
of
people,
that's
where
I
could
see
that
there
could
be
an
issue
you
know,
but
it
wouldn't
have
to
depend
on
what
it
is
as
well.
I
mean,
if
they're
in
say,
say
her
street
department.
O
A
I
know
this
has
done
lots
of
other
places
where
people
will
drive
60
90
miles
to
live
where
they
want
to
live
and
work
where
they
want
to
work
and
I.
Don't
think
we
should
make
that
limitation.
Anyone
else,
okay,
I,
probably
will
bring
forward.
Then
I
called
this
old
business
because
we
just
recently
changed
the
personnel
manual
but
I'm
going
to
bring
a
change
to
the
personnel
manual
forward
for
action
soon.
I'm
happy
to
see
there
isn't
a
lot
of
push
against
that.
So
thank
you
for
that.
A
N
M
It
is
in
the
the
consultants
been
in
contact
last
week,
of
course
pushed
things
off
a
little
bit
with
the
transferring
of
that
contrary
acting
signatures
with
with
our
flood-related
duties
that
we
were
a
hundred
percent
of
her
time
was
put
towards,
but
the
consultant
was
ready
to
go
and
there's
a
timeline
now
associated
with
that
contract
and
I
believe
a
May
third
completion
date
of
remember.
Alpha
Tom
I
had
so
a
little
over
30
days
to
wrap
up
that
segment
of
the
work
under
that
contract.
O
A
Q
F
O
H
I
have
one
question
in
comment:
had
the
opportunity
to
work
at
the
the
city's
sandbagging
operation
for
a
couple
of
days
and
what
a
awesome
turnout
in
regards
to
the
number
of
people
that
showed
up
it
was.
You
know
we
need
another
tough
situation,
you
try
to
have
fun
and
for
the
most
part
we
did
have
fun.
But,
interestingly,
there
was
a
lady
from
Milbank
that
came
down
to
help
and
there
was
also
I
think
the
second
day
the
Waverly
South
Shore
High
School
sent
about
14
or
15
kids
down.
H
That
was
really
really
neat
to
see
that
you
know.
So
it's
not
just
our
own
residents.
It's
it's
people
from
outside
our
community
that
have
come
in
to
help
to
have
a
lot
of
fun.
A
lot
of
hard
work
by
a
lot
of
people,
so
I
want
to
thank
all
those
people,
but
one
question
I
do
have
is
now
that
you
know,
even
though
we
appear
to
be
over
the
hump
right
now
we're
very
susceptible
to
flooding.
Should
we
get
some
bad
weather?
H
A
H
H
Guys
were
absolutely
awesome
to
work
with.
You
know
they
weren't
there
just
to
have
the
equipment
run
and
they
were
pitching
in.
They
were
hauling
bags.
They
were,
they
were
great,
they
were.
It
was
a
lot,
a
lot
of
fun
to
see
them
work
at
the
level
they
were
versus
just
coming
in,
and
you
know,
making
making
us
work
right.
A
A
And
I
want
to
say
this:
I
came
for
my
conference
call
Saturday
morning
at
9:30,
dressed
to
go
to
the
Wellness
Center
and
expected
to
have
a
half
hour
phone
conference,
call
and
then
go
about
my
day
and
when
I
got
the
news
that
their
modeling
was
showing
the
potential
for
record
flooding
in
Watertown
and
did
we
want
their
assistance
and
I
said
yes,
and
literally
within
hours,
three
engineers
were
in
my
office
from
the
US
Corps
of
Engineers.
The
sandbag.
A
A
machine
was
on
its
way
up
here,
and
they
were
already
here
behind
us
helping
us.
It
was
amazing
and
the
support
was
fantastic
and
the
incident
command
team
by
the
way
we
suspected
flooding
might
be
an
issue,
and
so
the
command
team
was
assembled
in
advance.
Wasn't
it
January
her
so
dawn
when
we
started
talking
about
flooding
because
we
had
so
much
snow?
A
So
everybody
in
that
incident
command
team,
which
is
made
up
of
dozens
of
people
from
the
engineering
department,
the
fire
department,
the
police
department,
the
Sheriff
Department,
the
emergency
management
department
for
the
county,
the
state
I
mean
there's
people
from
all
over
with
specific
jobs.
On
the
incident
command
team
and
they
were
ready
to
go,
they
already
knew
what
their
role
would
be
and
Saturday.
When
the
incident
command
team
was
called
to
action,
it
was
just
immediate.
My
office
was
packed,
standing-room-only
people
were
getting
things
lined
up,
they
knew
what
their
job
was.
A
It
was
a
thing
to
behold
to
watch
that
and
I'm
really
proud
to
be
part
of
this
community
and
to
be
have
been
part
of
that
team.
It
was
such
good
cooperation
and
a
team
effort.
It's
just
really
great.
It's
awesome
live
in
Watertown
I'll.
Tell
you
what
it's
like
nowhere
else.
So,
thanks
for
everybody
that
helped
with
that,
is
there
any
other
old
business?
How
about
new
business?
Any
new
business,
councilman,
Ville,
Howard,
I've.
P
Got
one
item,
and
maybe
it's
because
we're
of
where
I
live.
We
had
a
meeting
in
your
office
here
a
few
weeks
ago
with
the
the
individuals
that
are
in
charge,
the
litter
blitz,
which
is
came
out
of
the
h2o
20
group,
they're
gonna
need
help
again
and
and
I
tell
you
what,
as
the
snow
disappears
all
of
a
sudden
you're
seeing
all
the
litter
that's
been
left
behind
the
last
four
or
five
months
and
I
guess
I'm,
asking
for
when
that
when
that
pitch
is
made
groups
out
there,
individuals
etc.
P
You
know
we've
got
dozens,
if
not
hundreds
of
those
sort
of
groups
around
town,
you
know,
take
a
couple
hours
to
volunteer
it'll,
be
explained
how
they
can
get
signed
up
for
us
a
spot
and
likewise,
as
people
are
out
walking,
you
know
the
walking
themselves.
Walking
dog
would
ever
take
a
garbage
bag.
Long
and
you
know,
don't
be
afraid
to
pick
up
the
herbage
the
long
way,
because
I
tell
you
what
that
that
means
so
much
or
look
soap
make
such
an
improvement
in
a
community.
O
A
And
currently
they're
they're
doing
temporary
pothole
patching
because
the
asphalt
plant
isn't
open,
but
it's
