Description
This City Council meeting is for the presentation, review and public input on the Mayor's Proposed 2020 City Budget. Meeting time is 4:00 PM.
A
All
right
we're
back
and
that
was
a
little
bit
longer
break
than
I
thought,
but
we're
making
record
time
so
a
little
bit
long
of
a
break.
That's
okay!
We
deserve
it
right.
Okay,
so
we
were
wrapping
up
the
Capital
Improvement
Fund
summary,
and
there
was
during
the
break,
a
reminder
that
there
was
a
request
that
didn't
make
it
into
the
budget
and
Roger.
If
you
want
to
come
up
here
and
talk
about
it
a
little
bit,
it
was
a
$50,000
item
for
let.
C
Thank
you
and
good
evening.
Yes,
I'm
Roger
foot
with
the
Upper
Big
Sea
River
watershed
project.
I
know
we
didn't
want
to
get
into
the
weeds
tonight,
but
I
thought
this
was
important
enough
to
speak
up
a
little
bit.
Last
year
with
the
long
term
CIP,
you
approved
a
$50,000
project
for
the
phosphorus
removal
facility,
an
engineering
study
to
analyze
the
facility
that
we
have
to
really
make
sure
if
my
proposal
of
using
algae
to
remove
nutrients
is
viable.
C
C
Well,
the
reason
for
that
is
that,
if
the
cost
comes
in,
if
you
guys
believe
that
the
project
is
feasible
after
the
report,
if
the
cost
comes
in
above
what
we're
projecting
that
will
give
me
more
additional
time
to
fundraise
for
that,
and
also
it
will
give
us
an
amount
of
closure
if
the
project
isn't
feasible.
Well,
then,
we
can
make
plans
to
utilize
that
property
for
something
else.
A
Have
to
say,
I
think
the
confusion
arose
from
my
conversation
that
I,
I
thought
the
timing
was
wrong
on
it
as
we're
not
planning
to
do
the
project
until
2023
and
it's
cutting-edge
science.
This
using
extracting
algae
or
using
algae
to
extract
nutrients
from
the
water
and
I
was
just
thinking
we
should
do
that
year
before
we
bid
it
out
and
build
it
so
that
we're
getting
the
absolute
most
up-to-date
data,
but
I
hadn't
talked
to
Roger
about
that
and
I
guess
there.
A
D
E
C
Yes,
the
the
watershed
project
or
the
utility
municipal
utilities,
put
the
old
water
treatment
plant
up
as
surplus
property.
A
number
of
years
ago.
We
transferred
that
to
our
department.
We
ran
a
three-year
experiment,
with
funding
from
the
DNR
and
EPA
on
using
algae
to
remove
nutrients
from
lake
water.
However,
we
were
running
at
a
pilot
scale,
but
we
we
did
our
lessons
learned.
C
We
we
can
prove
the
concept
that
it
actually
does
work
and
in
the
process
of
that
we
found
a
company
out
of
Montana
called
Clara's
water
recovery
in
extensive
discussions
with
them
and
they've
actually
processed
our
lake
water,
they
can
take
what
we
were
doing
as
as
a
pilot
program
and
turn
it
into
industrial
scale.
We're
talking.
I
was
doing
20
gallons
a
minute.
They
can
do
a
thousand
gallons
a
minute.
Will
it
solve
all
of
our
problems?
No,
no.
This.
This
is
going
to
take
multiple
faucets
to
to
solve
lake
water
quality
issues.
C
However,
they're
98%
efficiency
rate
on
removing
phosphates
from
the
lake
water
and
returning
the
lake
water
back
cleaner
does
will
make
a
huge
impact
on
long-term
water
clarity.
Years
like
this
will
definitely
be
setbacks
because
the
nutrients
that
came
in,
but
there
again,
this
is
just
one
part
of
the
the
tools
in
the
toolbox
if
we
do
a
different
treatment
to
the
lake
water
and
use
this
for
maintenance,
that
is
one
option
and
there's
other
things
that
we're
looking
at
as
well.
C
I
want
to
push
this
one
forward,
because
it's
kind
of
that
the
first
step
as
I,
don't
know
if
you
guys
been
getting
phone
calls
on
on
the
lake
this
year
about
every
day.
So
it's
it's
it's
important
to
in
my
mind,
to
show
the
public
that
we
are
actually
trying
to
do
something
and
by
finding
out
if
this
is
viable
or
not,
it
would
be
a
huge
step
and
I.
A
Do
support
doing
a
project
like
this?
It
was
for
me.
It
was
a
timing
issue
that
I
didn't
put
in
my
recommended
budget,
but
it's
not
that
big
of
a
deal,
fifty
thousand
more,
would
bring
the
unreserve
fund
balance
to
a
hundred
ten
thousand,
which
is
one
percent
of
the
fund.
So
it's
it's
not
significant,
so
I,
let's
just
assume
that's
added,
and
unless
the
council
wants
to
doesn't
need
a
motion
to
add
that
okay,
I'll.
D
D
C
A
Mm-Hmm
all
right
we're
moving
on
to
you.
Nine
one
one
I
think
is
next
moving
right
along
here.
This
is
not
a
giant
budget.
It's
pretty
steady
here.
The
significant
changes
are
pretty
minor,
but
in
regards
to
the
size
of
the
fund
25,000
last
year
and
this
year,
just
transfers
in
from
the
general
fund.
You
911
doesn't
support
itself.
A
For
the
personnel
request,
you
can
see
that's
growing
over
time.
There
weren't
any
significant
changes
last
year
and
in
in
this
budget
again
it's
the
changes
are
due
to
the
projected
increased
due
to
the
wage
study
that
we're
currently
working
on
and
the
budgeted
health
insurance
premiums
the
same
as
the
other.
A
So
the
operating
there
were
no
significant
changes
for
the
2019,
none
for
the
2020
and
the
capital
outlay
did
decrease,
mainly
because
everyone
was
asked
to
freeze
and
the
proposed
purchases
were
pretty
minor
there
in
the
weeds,
but
$9,000
for
software
and
$2,000
for
office
chairs.
So
all
in
all,
the
total
revenues
for
the
e-911
budget
are
projected
to
be
958
thousand
dollars,
which
is
a
an
increase
of
2.7
percent
and
the
total
expenditures
just
slightly
over
1
million,
which
is
a
three
percent
increase
and
it
leaves
a
deficit
of
44,000.
B
G
B
G
D
G
G
B
I
G
A
A
A
The
operating
costs
were
frozen
and
that's
why
we
see
a
decrease
here.
This
is
a
pretty
small
fund
and
it's
doesn't
generate
a
lot
of
revenue.
It's
it's
a
backup
for
extra
things
that
the
library
needs
and
we've
been
trying
to
you
know.
I
should
have
DD,
come
talk
about
the
library,
fines
why
these
are
decreasing
and
what
the
philosophy
is-
and
you
know
she
can
do
a
better
job
of
that
than
I.
Could.
J
J
I
would
say
you
know
we're
trying
to
balance
your
expenditures
and
your
revenues,
but
we
had
some
old
technology
we
needed
to
replace,
and
so
in
2019
we
actually
requested
a
relatively
substantial
amount
more
than
we
usually
had
in
order
to
meet
those
needs
as
well
as
we
were
also
trying
to
help
out
with
the
cuts
that
were
made
in
the
CIP
budget.
We
had
requested
approximately
$100,000
and
we
got
cut
down
to
50
thousand
last
year,
and
so,
if
you
all
remember,
we
went
back.
J
So
I
just
got
to
get
to
my
right
page
here,
so
I
think
it's
on
128
of
the
the
board
book
and
it
just
I,
don't
know
if
it
just
needs
to
be
corrected
to
reflect
that
in
my
request
for
20
I
did
we
did
request
25,000
for
that,
and
the
library
board
did
approve
of
that
and
right
now,
it's
not
reflecting
that.
So
that's,
probably
something
I
just
overlooked
when
I
was
looking
through.
J
Everything
and
I
would
also
like
to
request
that
you
all
consider
adding
that
$25,000
in
so
we
can
get
back
to
$75,000,
which
is
a
decrease
from
from
where
we
were
going.
If
you're,
looking
at
the
long
term
plan,
which
I
believe
is
coming
up,
the
the
request
is
I
think
a
hundred
and
three
thousand
for
2021
and
then
it's
going
to
continue
with
some
growth,
so
I
could
I
hope
we
can
see
funding
returned
to
those
levels,
yes,
hi.
J
K
J
J
No
seventy-five
for
this
year,
it
was,
it
was
still
at.
You
know,
25%
reduction
from
what
we
are
hoping
for,
and
there
are
some
things
that
we
have
to
do.
We
don't
we
just
can't
purchase
as
much
with
that
amount.
I
don't
mean
to
state
the
obvious,
but
it's
something
like
it
may
be.
The
difference
between
1,500
and
2,000
books
purchased
versus
save
over
5,000
books
purchased.
So
so
yes,
I
would
like
to
see
that
$25,000
utilized,
so
we
can
get
at
least
back
to
the
$75,000
mark
and
then
in
future
years.
J
A
Say
that
I
really
don't
like
depleting
the
library
fines
fund,
which
is
not
a
big
fund
I,
would
like
to
see.
Have
it
be
like
an
unmet
request
in
the
general
fund
and
one
of
those
things
that
we
would
add
to
you
know
that?
But
there
wasn't
it
didn't,
come
out
in
the
budget
book
as
a
request
in
the
general
fund
or
and
I.
Don't
know
why,
but
who
had
a
question
Glenn
refresh.
D
A
I
just
want
to
be
careful,
I
would
do
both
I
mean
if
you,
if
she's
wanting
her
request
to
be
shown
in
as
a
request
in
the
library,
fines,
fun
I,
think
we
should
clarify
that
for
the
record
that
that
didn't
come
out
for
whatever
reason
we,
you
know
in
that,
wasn't
a
request.
The
library
board
recommended
it,
but
they
didn't
recommend
anything
out
of
the
general
fund
as
above
the
freezing
point.
J
I
think
they
definitely
would
have,
but
my
understanding
was
the
freeze
rather
than
I'm
so
I.
That
was
probably
a
misunderstanding
on
my
part
that
I
think
they
definitely
would
have
even
for
the
fifth.
If
we're,
if
we're
looking
for
an
unmet
need
for
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
meet
our
commitment
and
in
the
long
range
plan.
So.
K
J
B
K
K
A
Yeah
last
year
was
really
cut
you
and
I
I
didn't
want
to
be
the
one
making
the
cut
so
I
did
ask
all
of
the
departments
to
freeze
and
show
me
how
and
they
would
have
the
ability
to
shift
things
around
do
away
with
stuff
to
make
it
balance,
but
then
to
come
back
with
requests.
If
we
find
additional
funding
and
I
think
that's.
That
might
be
what
happened
with
Rogers
request
to
that
I
didn't
communicate
that
clearly
to
everyone.
A
H
A
E
I
was
just
going
to
say
with
the
board
the
library
board,
approving
this
it's
appropriate
to
follow.
It
I
think
during
the
conversations
of
the
budget
meetings
that
the
mayor
and
I
had
I
think
what
we're
seeing
with
the
library
finds,
fun
and
I
think
that's.
Just
our
cautionary
little
bit
of
a
flag
is
the
fines.
Revenue
is
definitely
decreasing.
So
if
once
this
fund,
eventually,
if
it
does
run
out,
we
know
that
some
of
those
things
that
it
was
paying
for
are
going
to
be
placed
back
on
the
general
fund.
E
So
it's
not
that
it
can't
happen,
and
it
shouldn't
happen.
It's
just
to
know
that
probably
continuing
to
sustain
it.
This
way
it's
we're,
gonna
have
to
kind
of
watch
it
I.
Think
dd2
can
speak
to
the
fact
that
the
revenue
is
going
down
based
off
of
a
little
bit
that
people
aren't
renting
as
many
books
that
way,
but
the
ebooks
are
increasing.
So
it's
just
to
kind
of
put
that
out
there,
because
any
time
the
items
are
being
purchased
out
of
this
one
and
the
money
runs
out.
E
A
Part
of
the
reason
the
library
finds
revenue
is
decreasing.
Is
people
like
me
who,
when
I,
would
check
out
a
hardcover
book
I
wouldn't
almost
never
return
it
on
time.
There'd
always
be
a
fine
and
now
I
don't
do
that.
I
have
ebooks
and
they
just
disappear,
whether
you're
done
reading
them
or
not.
They're.
K
H
J
Thank
you
may
I
make
one
more
comment.
Sure
I'm,
sorry
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
the
gentleman
here
from
utilities
earlier:
Steve,
laner,
Steve,
sorry
Steve
for
me.
Forgive
me
your
name.
I
just
wanted
to
make
a
comment.
He
is
one
of
his
final
comments
was
that
when
you
have
to
choose
between
paying
your
bills
and
paying
utilities
and
buying
food,
what
are
you
going
to
choose
and
that
a
lot
of
those
people
don't
use
the
Wellness
Center
and
a
lot
of
those
people
don't
use
other
the
the
Parks
and
Rec
programs?
J
A
A
So
here
we
go
with
the
this
will
be
a
deficit
of
30,000,
then
so
there
were
capital
outlay
requests,
not
met
computers
and
that
fun.
So
the
next
fun
is
the
urban
renewal
fund
and
there's
nothing
going
on
so
no
expenditures
right
now,
no
significant
changes
last
year,
no
significant
changes
in
the
budget
this
year,
although
the
council
will
be
considering
as
they
do
every
year,
the
urban
renewal
tax
implementation
or
not,
so
that
will
be
coming
soon.
A
Last
year
there
was
a
grant
increase
of
62,000
and
this
year
there's
a
decrease
of
58,000,
so
it's
kind
of
hovering
and
the
changes
in
the
personnel
obviously
are
due
to
the
wage
study
and
insurance
and
I
will
note
I
mentioned
earlier.
There
was
one
reduction
in
force
and
it
was
from
this
department
that
there
was
an
employee,
a
part-time
employee
that
resigned,
and
we
didn't
fill
that
position.
Mostly
the
budget
is
decreased
and
it's
you
know
one
employee
can
probably
handle
the
work
without
the
extra
help.
A
Changes
in
the
operating
we're
all
pretty
insignificant
last
year
and
this
year,
but
it's
above
budget
isn't
huge.
The
small
changes
do
come
out
to
be
pretty
significant
in
terms
of
the
budget,
so
fifty
seven
thousand
dollar
budget
decrease
ends
up
being
almost
a
third
of
the
budget,
so
that
is
significant
and,
in
summary,
were
projecting
revenues
of
two
hundred
twenty
nine
thousand
expenditures
of
207,000,
so
it's
almost
a
wash
but
in
the
positive
direction
there
any
questions
about
this,
alright
I'll
keep
moving
the
next
one
is
the
TIF
funds.
A
Now,
there's
not
really
a
whole
lot.
You
can
do
about
the
tax
increment
funds,
but
we
do
need
they're
part
of
the
budget,
so
I'll
mention
what
they
are.
Taxing
tax
increment
financing
is
an
economic
development
tool
that
we
have
and
when
you
take
land
and
develop
it,
you
increase
its
value.
The
tax
goes
up
on
it
because
the
the
tax
property
tax
is
based
upon
the
value
of
the
land
and
the
improvements
to
the
land.
So
if
you
improve
it,
you
get
an
increment
of
tax.
A
So
if
you
don't
improve
it,
you
don't
get
that
benefit
and
one
thing
we
can
do
legally
and
and
cities
in
our
state.
Do.
A
lot
of
this
is
to
use
that
increment
that
increases
to
give
back
to
the
developer
as
an
incentive
to
develop,
because
then
it
just
kind
of
evens
the
playing
field
nobody's
losing
out,
because
we
wouldn't
have
had
that
revenue
if
they
hadn't
developed.
So
it
ends
after
20
years
and
we're
back
to
normal.
A
But
that's
what
tax
increment
financing
is
in
a
nutshell,
we
have
four
funds
that
are
currently
going
along
and
there's
pink
or
the
purplish
color.
There
is
expenditure.
The
blue
color
is
revenue,
so
tax
increment
financing
district
number
one
is
the
Hanten
industrial
park,
which
is
or
Dakota
bodies
and
glacial
lakes
energy
in
that
area
that
one's
doing
well.
Now
that
we
could
do
anything
about
it,
tax,
increment,
financing,
district
number,
two
is
Mallard
point
which
isn't
doing
as
well
see
the
expenditures
are
greater,
nothing
you
can
do
about
it,
but
just
understand
it.
A
Tif
number,
five
and,
and
incidentally,
three
was
paid
off
for
never
existed.
We
don't
know
why.
We
just
skip
that
number.
For
some
reason.
Maybe
it
was
Stanton's
unlucky
number
he
was.
He
was
kind
of
superstitious
about
stuff.
Anyway,
we
don't
have
a
TIF
for
and
TIF
five
is
the
first
Avenue
North
extension
or
Willow
Creek
Drive.
That
was
a
bad
one.
Mostly
expenses,
there
hasn't
been
much
development
out
there
and
it
was
just
bad
timing.
We
did
that
TIF
district
right
before
the
recession
and
then
nothing
developed
so
we're
starting
to
see
some
development.
A
So
maybe
things
will
turn
around
tax
increment
financing
district
number
six
is
pheasant
Ridge
and
that
one
has
done
very
well.
So
you
see
the
revenues
are
exceeding
the
expenditures.
So
that's
a
really
good
one.
We
like
them
to
look
like
that.
We
do
have
a
TIF
number-
seven,
it's
not
in
here,
because
it's
not
not
producing
it
right,
start.
E
A
E
Off
the
top
of
my
head,
I,
don't
know
all
the
dates,
because
they're
kind
of
but
they're
quite
a
ways
out
still
I
I
think
like
2020
yeah
I.
Think
it's
like
2030
is:
when
does
that
sound
about
right,
cuz,
I
think
they
were.
You
know,
9
1
was
a
9
mm,
so
I
can
get
that
for
you,
but
they're
kind
of
all
over,
but
it's
a
while
okay,
they
have
a
while
to
still.
F
E
A
E
So
when
we
took
on
the
general
obligation
bonds,
there
is
a
resolution
that
states
that
I
have
to
take
a
certain
percentage
of
whatever
the
annual
payment
is,
and
that
is
what
I
do
so,
whatever
the
debt
service
is
for
that
year,
I
take
the
increase
that
is
necessary
and
then
I
put
that
into
the
revenue
cover
the
expenditure
and
when
you
see
the
budget
ordinance
that
is
approved,
you'll
see
two
numbers
at
the
bottom
of
that
ordinance.
One
is
our
property
tax
and
the
other
one.
E
A
And
again,
this
is
a
on
the
property
taxes,
any
questions
or
comments
all
right.
The
next
fund
is
a
capital
projects
fund
and,
as
you'll
recall,
this
is
the
fund
that
was
set
up
when
we
bonded
for
the
Wellness
Center,
the
softball
complex
and
the
Ice
Arena,
and
we
are
maintaining
a
balance
in
that
fund.
But
we're
not.
We
haven't,
spent
we're
not
spending
any
money
out
of
there,
because
we
don't
have
a
plan
right
now
for
the
Ice
Arena,
but
that
could
turn
around
the
money
is
available
for
that
purpose.
A
Next,
we
have
the
wastewater
fund,
the
wastewater
is
an
enterprise
fund
and
the
revenues
are
almost
exactly
flat.
Just
a
very,
very
slight
increase,
no
significant
changes.
Last
year,
no
significant
changes
for
2020
personnel,
no
significant
changes
last
year
and
the
changes
for
2020
are
due
to
the
wage
study
and
budgeted
health
insurance
premiums
and
the
operating
budget.
A
A
The
capital
outlay
is
a
little
bit
different.
We
have
a
you
know
a
little
bit.
You
can
see
a
pretty
significant
change
because
we're
doing
a
pretty
big
project
right
now.
So
last
year
we
were
doing
design
and
we
budgeted
for
the
administration,
building,
design
and
I.
Better,
have
Mike
come
up
here
and
help
me
with
this
he's
been
waiting
all
night
for
this
chance,
but
are
we
expecting
to
do
some
construction
this
year,
yet
in
2019
on
that
men
building?
No.
I
Right
now
we're
at
99
percent
design,
and
so
we
want
to
move
forward
with
an
application
for
some
funding
here:
okay,
rocktober.
First,
the
interest
rates
on
these
projects
are
going
to
go
up
after
the
October
1st
deadline
right
now,
our
interest
rate
on
a
20
year
loan
for
the
help
fund.
This
project
is
about
two
and
a
half
percent,
so
it's
really
cheap
and
but
they're
gonna
go
up
a
quarter
to
a
half
a
percent
after
the
October
deadline
in
the
subsequent
quarter.
I
A
And
you
can
see
in
the
budget
for
next
year
the
building
construction,
five
million
dollars-
is
in
the
budget,
along
with
some
pretty
big
equipment.
So
where
are
we
always?
We
do
an
annual
sanitary
replacement
and
Rehab
project
and
it's
budgeted
325
thousand
a
new
truck
rate
study.
Often
do
you
do
those
rate
studies
might
in.
I
I
A
A
The
summary
revenues
increase
just
0.8%,
so
very
little
increase
expenditures
went
way
up,
so
we're
in
the
hole
quite
a
bit
so
we're
getting
a
loan
and
because
we
are
a
municipality
or
eligible
for
these
loans
at
a
super
duper
interest
rate
that
regular
people
don't
get
and
we'll
take
advantage
of
that.
That's
a
benefit
to
our
community,
so
they're
still
pretty
significant
decline
in
the
cash
balance.
I.
I
Less
debt
service
at
one
hundred,
ninety
one
thousand,
and
what
we'll
do
is
we'll
determine
how
much
cash
reserves
we
use
and
how
much
debt
service
we
take
out
most
we
get
bids
and
we
hope
to
bid
this
project
before
Christmas,
so
that
if
we
get
favorable
bids,
we
could
move
forward
then
and
award
something
in
January
and
so
we'll
be
back
before
you
in
October,
with
an
application
by
October
1st
and
we'll
be
here
in
September,
I
guess
to
proceed
with
funding
this
project.
Great.
A
L
I
I
A
A
A
Then
the
capital
outlay
see
some
individually
relatively
minor
things
in
2019,
except
for
refuse
truck
three
hundred
eighty
three
thousand
for
2020,
some
more
just
relatively
minor
things,
except
for
the
compactor
and
then
that's
a
pretty
big
piece
of
equipment,
650
1,000
and
then
the
rate
study
is
in
there
and
that's
what
we'd
be
partnering
with
have
the
same
consultant.
Do
both
solid
waste
and
sanitary
sewer
grates,
so
as
Mike
just
mentioned
before.
So
the
main
increase
here
is:
is
that
compactor,
yes,
and
you
probably
had
been
well
there's
reserves
yeah.
I
That
way,
you
did
award
that
back
in
March
of
this
year.
Yeah
we
had
to
you
have
to
buy
him
in
advance
to
get
him
to
be
delivered
on
time,
so
yeah,
that's
six
hundred
and
fifty
one
thousand
dollars,
and
that's
that's
six
hundred
fifty
one.
That's
the
that
expenditure,
because
the
grossed
expenditure
is
seven
hundred
fifty
three
thousand
and
then
we
get
better
and
three
thousand
back
from
the
repurchase
or
selling
our
existing
compactor
back
to
that
vendor.
A
Okay,
so
this
in
summary,
revenues
were
slightly
less
than
expenditures
resulting
in
a
deficit
of
one
hundred
and
sixty
two
thousand
dollars.
Are
there
any
questions
about
this
any
comments
you
want
to
make
solid
waste
fund.
Another
easy
one.
Thank
you
Mike
good
job,
and
is
this
the
last
one
Kristin?
Oh,
my
gosh
airport
fun
Airport
fund
is
our
last
fun,
so.
A
We
are
almost
to
the
end
of
the
budget
book
and
look
here.
We
are
a
hundred
page
187
in
2019.
The
significant
changes
were
a
decrease
in
transfer
from
the
general
fund
and
an
increase
in
transfer
from
the
capital
improvement
fund.
We're
always
moving
these
things
around
there.
There
isn't
a
much
change
at
all,
but
we
are
adding
charges
that
are
significant,
so
that
allows
us
to
do
a
little
bit
of
a
decrease
in
the
transfer
from
the
capital
improvement
fund
and
we're
increasing
the
transfer
and
from
the
general
fund.
A
Right
now
the
airport
doesn't
sustain
itself
with
its
revenue,
but
I
think
we'll
get
there
someday.
Looking
at
the
growth
of
our
Airport
and
the
positive
things
that
are
happening
there
and
the
addition
of
the
wonderful
airline
service
from
Sky
West
doing
business
as
United
is
really
helping
and
Todd.
You
should
come
up
here,
I
think
he's
back
there
I
know
the
airport
personnel
last
year
for
the
2019
budget.
We
did
add
a
foreman
and
this
year
we're
not
projecting
any
personnel
additions
in
the
recommended
budget.
A
There
is
an
increase
due
to
the
wage
study,
results
and
health
insurance.
So
no
significant
changes
in
the
operating
budget
and
the
capital
outlay
is
down
just
a
little
bit
major
things
to
note
in
the
budget.
The
terminal,
apron
reconstruction
for
one
point,
four
million
dollars
and
then
we're
doing
some
minor
things.
Did
you
want
to
add
to
that
Todd?
No.
A
I
feel
better
having
Todd's
day
right
next
to
me,
so,
okay,
so
the
total
revenues
and
the
expense
is
balanced
out
so
close
that
it's
a
wash,
but
there
there
was
an
unmet
personnel
request
in
the
budget
for
an
airport
maintenance
worker
and
also
an
unmet
capital
outlay
request
for
a
skid
steer.
So
these
are
things
to.
A
Okay,
that
and
it's
an
unmet
need,
but
I
mean
if
we
do
increase
revenues.
You
know
this
is
something
we
could
consider
a
transfer
for
again.
I
think
that
they're
short-handed
at
the
airport
we're
running
on
empty
half
the
time
and
and
if
somebody
gets
sick,
it's
a
sketchy
situation.
This
is
not
a
lot
of
personnel
that
keep
that
Airport
running.
How
many
do
you
have
total.
A
N
J
F
F
N
B
K
N
Administrative
assistant,
I'm,
sorry
I,
didn't
catch.
That
I
was
supposed
to
be
an
administrative
assistant
position.
We
are
pretty
well
on
track
for
staff
right
now
for
maintenance,
as
I've
said
in
the
years
prior
I
want
to
make
sure
110
percent
sure
that
when
we
add
staff
we
absolutely
need
staff.
So
right
now
for
maintenance,
we
are
adequate.
As
the
mayor
stated,
though,
we
don't
have
anybody
to
cover
vacation
or
sick
time.
So
that's
myself
in
my
Foreman.
We
try
and
keep
the
overtime
to
the
minimum,
the
ten
thousand.
N
N
Take
you
back
six
years
we
were
looking
to
lose
their
service
when
we
had
great
lakes,
and
a
lot
of
you
remember
that,
since
we've
grown
from
six
years
ago,
if
we
take
the
July's
numbers
of
employments
or
over
20,000
employments
next
year,
that's
40,000
total
passengers
in
out
of
the
Watertown
terminal
in
just
the
six
years.
That's
huge
growth,
so
the
administrate,
my
job,
has
gotten
a
lot
more
busy
over
the
years.
N
A
lot
of
more
paperwork
phone
calls
coming
in
meetings,
there's
such
stuff
that
US
managers
do
on
a
day-to-day
basis
with
running
staff.
The
foreman
position
was
a
great
addition
to
remove
myself
a
little
bit
from
my
staff
on
the
day-to-day
duties,
but
the
FAA
is
only
making
our
lives
tougher.
I'll
put
it
that
way
with
paperwork.
K
M
K
I
would
add,
to
I
mean
there's
going
to
be
a
distraction
for
you
to
I,
think
more
in
coming
year
or
two
for
the
you
know
for
the
new
developing
the
new
terminal
as
we
move
forward
or
we've
got
all
the
rental
stuff.
Now,
that's
expanded
I
mean
there's
just
a
lot
of
growth
outside
of
just
you
know,
passengers
using
the
you
know
if
we
get
into
more
flights
coming
in
out
the
the
FBO
they're
busier
I
mean
it
just
just
keeps
piling
up
until
I
think
we
need
to
really
take
this
into
consideration
here.
K
A
K
A
To
consider
that
we've
just
reorganized
and
the
Airport
Department
is
now
part
of
the
Public
Works
Department,
which
has
administrative
help,
and
so
these
smaller
departments
with
upper
Big
Sioux.
It's
the
same
thing.
We
did
reduce
the
the
force
and
took
away
an
administrative
assistant
from
the
Upper
Big
Sioux,
but
now
that
position
is
part
of
the
Public
Works
Department,
which
has
administrative
staff.
A
He
was
saying
he
was
requesting
an
administrative,
not
a
maintenance,
help
and
and
I'm
seeing
growth
in
the
maintenance.
Help.
I
definitely
would
see
that
not
so
much
the
administrative,
because
I
mean
that's
part
of
the
benefit
of
being
part
of
a
department.
Is
that
you
have?
You
can
share
those
administrative
duties
across
the
department
like
it
used
to
be,
and
I
mean
we
we've
been
there
before
and
we're
back
again
and
and
those
services
are
there
for
everyone
in
the
department
so
that
that
will
be
a
benefit
to
the
Airport
Department
yeah.
A
N
We
had
to
choose
I
guess
where
I
was
going
with
that,
if
it
was
a
maintenance
worker,
a
an
admin
I
did
get
staff
for
maintenance
so
where
we're
lacking
them
most
right
now,
without
the
the
fact
that
we
can't
cover
vacation
or
sick
without
myself
or
my
Foreman
doing
that,
Messer
I
was
going
with
that.
I
want
to
make
sure
honored
10%
that
we
need
to
add
staff
I've
been
going
after
him
admin
for
two
years
now.
L
Yet
at
this
point,
but
these
are
the
exact
discussions,
I
hope
to
continue
with
each
one
of
them
and
connect
the
dots
where
needed
and
support
any
new
request
is
needed,
and
you
know
work
collaboratively
and
make
sure
that
we're
getting
full
use
out
of
all
the
current
staff
before
we
would
bring
forth
any
additional
staff
requests.
But
I
think
there
are
some
efficiencies
to
be
gained
between
some
of
these
divisions,
maybe
not
all
but
sound.
Definitely
for.
A
E
Just
wanted
to
point
one
thing
out
as
we're
discussing
any
type
of
probably
position
or
large
increase
to
the
airport
fund
at
the
current
way
that
the
airport
fund
sits.
It
wouldn't
be
able
to
probably
take
it
on
on
its
own,
so
any
decision
that
you
as
the
council
would
make
to
increase
it,
whether
it
be
personnel
or
a
large
potential
equipment
purchase.
It
would
have
to
be
also
an
increase
from
the
general
fund
as
a
transfer,
so
I
just
kind
of
wanted
to
make
sure
that
you
you're
aware
of
the
correlation
between
that.
E
So
at
this
time
the
airport
fund
would
need
help,
then
from
the
general
fund.
If
that
decision
is
made
another
thing
that
isn't
super
clear
in
the
2020
budget.
Just
because
we've
talked
about
it
a
lot
and
it's
definitely
been
discussed
at
the
council.
But
with
the
way
it's
working
with
the
terminal.
There's
a
potential
chance
that
the
2020
budget,
as
it
looks
now,
may
change,
and
with
that
there
is
the
potential
that
we
are
gonna,
have
to
determine
a
way
to
find
a
little
bit
of
extra
money.
E
N
I'll,
expand
on
that
a
little
bit.
We've
had
great
talks
with
the
FAA
I
have
a
meeting
with
them
tomorrow.
Excuse
me
and
they
need
to
make
their
mind
up
on
how
they
want
to
go
with
the
terminal
project
and
what
year
they
want
to
put
it
in
that
fits
in
best
with
their
funding
mechanisms,
so
stay
tuned.
We
did
get
good
word
the
other
day,
we'll
hope
it
stays
that
way.
H
I
was
just
wondering:
is
there
any
department
in
the
city
that
uses
a
skid
steer
in
the
summer
spring
summer
fall
that
would
not
need
it
during
the
winter
that
you
could
use
it.
You
know
I
know
that
maybe
they
still
use
it
to
clean
streets
or
something
no,
but
I
just
wondered
if
there's
one
sitting
someplace
that
is
used
nine
months,
but
wouldn't
we
use
three
even.
A
A
N
And
that's
actually,
we
we
got
better
proposals
than
the
budgeted
number.
We
got
our
proposals
after
the
budget
of
numbers,
so
it
actually
came
in
quite
a
bit
cheaper
than
that.
So
we
don't
need
as
big
of
a
machine.
We
went
off
of
what
Rob
has
and
we
don't
need
that
big
of
a
machine,
and
so
the
prices
came
in
a
lot
cheaper,
but
this
adds
a
broom,
so
we
can
use
it
in
the
summer
time
to
go
around
the
runway,
lights
and
taxiway
lights.
It
includes
a
bucket
and
a
snow
blower.
A
G
Just
want
to
make
sure
that
I
was
clear
about
the
e-911,
so
I
apologize,
but
when
you
asked
if
it
was
fair
to
the
other
counties,
I
just
want,
everybody
know
that
they
only
have
9-1-1
services.
Would
they
don't
have
like
dispatch
calls?
You
know
business
calls
and
all
those
things,
so
all
the
counties
add
up
to
or
less
than
half
of
what
the
calls
are
coming
to
County
gets.
So
we
get
about
11,000,
800
9-1-1,
calls
and
aren't
that
revenue
from
the
surcharges
is
about
350,000.
G
All
the
other
counties
add
up
to
about
two
hundred
and
eighty
three
thousand,
so
we
get
100%
of
their
surcharges,
so
it
is
fare
based
on
the
number
of
calls
we
get
from
them.
So,
but
to
your
point,
we
are
looking
in
our
2021
strategic
plan,
we're
looking
at
expanding
that
to
handling
the
business
day
to
day
calls
so
I
just
want
to
make
sure.
I
was
clear
on
that.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
I
want
to
go
back
on
the
wage
study
a
little
bit
just
to
summarize
that
we
expect
that
the
wages
will
increase
across
all
departments
about
seven
hundred
twenty
two
thousand
dollars
with
the
wage
study
implemented.
Now,
if
we
don't
implement
the
wage
study,
we
still
will
be
increasing
wages
because
we
have
signed
contracts
with
the
unions,
so
the
difference
between
the
contracts,
the
increase
that
we're
going
to
do
anyway,
and
the
wage
study
across
all
departments
is
four
hundred
thirty.
Four
thousand
three
hundred
sixty
seven
dollars.
A
Okay,
so
the
part
of
that
which
would
be
in
the
general
fund,
which
is
the
only
fun,
that's
really
hurting
that
badly
is
about
two
hundred
sixty
thousand
dollars.
So,
if
you're
contemplating
just
not
honoring
the
wage
study
and
letting
people
be
paid
lower
than
a
fair
wage,
just
to
make
our
budget
balance
a
little
bit
better
I
would
urge
you
not
to
take
that
temptation
and
find
a
different
way.
Our
employees
deserve
a
fair
wage
and
I
think
they
deserve
it.
A
The
moment
we
understand
what
it
is
and
not
a
year
later
and
not
two
years
later,
but
right
away
and
and
I
sincerely
hope
that
you'll
consider
that
very
carefully
the
wages
have
been
unfairly
low
for
a
long
time
for
the
city,
employees
and
I
hope
we
can
really
meet
it
right
away
and,
of
course,
we're
guessing
what
it
is.
So
if
it's
we're
way
off,
we
can
revisit
that,
but
I
want
you
to
keep
that
in
mind
moving
forward.
A
A
Okay,
so
we're
back
on
the
agenda.
The
presentation
is
over
since
we
finished
tonight.
We
will
not
be
having
a
meeting
tomorrow
night,
so
everyone's
excused
from
that
meeting
and
hopefully
the
the
press
won't
show
up,
no
need
no
need,
and
it
did
say
on
the
announcement
that
only
if
necessary,
if
we
run
out
of
time,
because
we
normally
would
run
out
of
time
to
do
this
in
one
night-
is
there
any
old
business?
