Very
good,
thank
you.
Okay,
we're
on
to
the
regular
agenda,
and
the
very
first
item
is
recognition
of
award
winners
by
the
mayor's
committee
for
people
with
disabilities
and
I'm
really
excited
there's
a
bunch
of
people
here
that
nobody
can
see,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
them
to
come
forward
to
be
recognized,
and
we
have.
The
chairman
of
the
committee
is
that
right,
jamie
set
your
title.
A
H
Can
you
hear
me
now?
Okay,
I
wanted
to
say
thank
you
to
the
councilman
for
allowing
us
the
opportunity
to
come
share
our
story,
and
thank
you
for
your
time.
The
individuals
that
we're
going
to
recognize
today
have
been
a
very
positive
impact
to
our
community
and
we
are
so
proud
to
acknowledge
them
today.
H
What
brought
this
on
is
throughout
the
month
of
october.
Is
national
disability
employment
awareness
month,
in
addition
to
that,
is
something
we
enjoyed.
I
like
to
celebrate,
but
it's
the
75th
year
of
celebrating
that
awareness,
along
with
the
30th
year
for
american
with
disabilities
act,
there's
been
a
lot
of
movement
and
changes
to
those
acts.
That
kind
of
lead
us
to
where
we
are
today.
H
So
right
now,
I'm
going
to
our
first
award
we're
going
to
congratulate
all
the
students
of
the
watertown
lego
league,
chaotic
construction,
along
with
their
coaches
cc,
soucy
wendy,
krueger
and
ken
mcintosh
for
being
awarded
the
2020
distinguished
service
award.
This
award
is
given
to
an
individual
or
organization
in
public
recognition
of
extraordinary
contributions
to
advancing
the
employment
and
or
empowerment
of
people
with
disabilities.
H
The
watertown
mayor's
committee
for
people
with
disabilities
celebrates
these
achievements
throughout
the
month
of
october,
which
has
been
proclaimed
as
national
disability
employment
awareness
month
this
year
celebrates
75
years
of
ndam
employment
awareness
for
people
with
disabilities,
along
with
the
30th
anniversary
of
americans
with
disabilities
act.
The
lego
league
is
an
after-school
program
in
which
students
work
together
on
a
themed
project.
Last
year's
theme
was
city
shaper.
H
The
objective
of
this
project
was
for
the
students
to
look
at
their
community
and
come
up
with
a
project
that
would
improve
their
city.
The
students
discovered
there
was
a
need
with
the
parks
in
watertown
they
observed
that
there
was
not
one
park
in
watertown
that
was
accessible
for
people
who
used
wheelchairs
or
for
others
with
disabilities.
To
play
and
be
involved
on
the
playground
with
their
families
and
friends,
they
propose
that
morningside
park
be
improved
and
make
us
made
accessible
for
all
children.
H
They
did
a
lot
of
research
and
visited
with
the
many
people
in
watertown.
The
group
invited
the
mayor
to
the
class
and
discussed
the
concern
with
her.
They
did
research
on
equipment
for
people
with
disabilities
and
talked
with
the
optimist
club
requesting
for
donations
to
help
with
the
cost
of
it.
The
optimist
club,
as
well
as
other
local
organizations,
have
approved
to
give
money
towards
the
ada
park.
The
students
share
this
information
at
a
competition
in
sioux
falls.
H
The
judges
were
very
impressed
that
the
students
came
up
with
this
type
of
project
and
all
and
all
the
follow-through
that
they
completed
with
it.
As
a
result
of
these
students
sharing
their
discovery
for
the
needs
of
the
ada
park
in
watertown,
they
have
created
a
momentum
for
many
local
agencies
and
organizations
to
work
towards
implementing
this
plan
of
building
a
park
in
watertown
that
will
be
accessible
for
all,
in
addition
to
the
work
they
put
towards
the
ada
park.
H
These
students
are
involved
in
awareness
for
people
with
disabilities
in
saying
no
to
the
our
work
campaign
and
doing
activities
for
the
human
services
agency.
For
these
reasons,
we,
the
mayor's
committee
for
people
with
disabilities,
are
very
proud
to
give
the
distinguished
service
award
to
chaotic
construction.
Lego
league.
The
award
is
presented
and,
as
I
call
your
name,
please
step
forward
cc.

This

is
given
to
an

of
outstanding
achievement
in

employment
challenges,

The
watertown
mayor's
committee
for
people

disabilities
celebrates
these
achievements.
I

so,
but

goal.
Casey
is
goal
oriented
and
states
that
one
day
he
wants
to
be,
president
of
hyvee
casey
considers
hyvee
his
family
second
family.
He
loves
going
to
work
to
see
his
fellow
hyvee
workers
and
also
the
customers
that
come
to
the
store.
H
Casey
always
shows
a
helpful
attitude
and
will
look
for
challenges
and
jobs
that
need
to
be
done.
Casey
displays
a
strong
work
ethic
and
friendly
personality
to
whomever
he
meets
casey's
longevity
at
his
job
is
something
he
is
proud
of,
as
well
as
something
his
employers
recommend
him
on
or
commend
him
on.
In
2019,
casey
was
honored
by
receiving
the
hyvee
employee
of
the

award
for
his
job.
Commitment
to
hyvee
casey
is
also

Cassie
miggy
embodies
this
award.
Cassie
is
very,
is
a
very
good
advocate
for
herself.
H
Cassie
brings
the
flag

sets
it
up
at
the

before
the
meeting
starts.
Cassie

and
friends,
cassie
likes
to
try
to
keep

as
much
as
possible.
For
these
reasons,
cassie
makes
an
outstanding

H
To
employers
for
outstanding
achievement
in
improving
employment
opportunities
for
people
with
disabilities
holiday
inn
express,
has
offered
numerous
employment
opportunities
to
individuals
with
various
types
of
disabilities.
In
many
different
programs,
they
have
employed
many
individuals
working
with
vocational
rehabilitation.
H
They
have
hosted
project
skills
students
for
several
years
by
providing
the
students
an
opportunity
to
learn,
skills
and
gain
work
experience.
The
manager
janice
always
says
yes,
when
she
is
called
with
a
request
that
an
individual
come
to
the
hotel
for
trying
out
a
job
holiday.
Innexpress
believes
in
giving
employees
second
chances,
whether
that
be
rehiring
them
or
giving
someone
with
a
poor
work
history
an
opportunity
to
improve
their
employment
experience.
H
They
often
will
let
the
applicant
know
if
they
are
hired
at
the
end
of
the
interview.
Everyone
is
trained
by
holiday,
inn,
express
staff
and
job
coaching
is
welcomed.
The
staff
is
friendly
and
provides
positive
reinforcements.
They
accommodate
schedules
and
transportation
by
avoiding
schedule
by
avoiding
scheduling,
clients
who
use
transit
during
hours
when
transit
is
not
running.
But
if
this
does
not
happen,
holiday
inn
express,
has
and
will
provide
transportation
for
those
employees.
H
If
an
employee
is
having
a
difficult
day
at
work,
they
are
very
good
about
calling
the
vocational
services
provider
to
make
them
aware
of
this
or
ask
for
assistance.
They
provide
accommodations
such
as
multiple
small
breaks
or
scheduling
for
less
hours.
They
do
whatever
they
can
to
make
it
work
for
all
involved.
It
is
great
working
with
janice
and
the
staff
at
holiday
inn
express,
and
we
thank
them
for
the
opportunities
they
provide
for
the
people
in
the.
H
H
H
A
A
A
The
actual
letter
of
intent
to
sell
property,
the
property
is
the
wells,
fargo
bank,
next
door
to
city
hall,
and
the
city
has
come
to
an
agreement
that
we
will
hopefully
execute
here
tonight
and
the
agreement
is
to
purchase
the
building
for
1.3
million
dollars,
and
this
is
something
that
has
been
in
the
works
for
about
a
year
and
the
idea
was
first
presented
to
me.
Wells
fargo
bank
was
not
for
sale
at
the
time,
but
a
former
wells,
fargo
bank
employee
came
to
me,
and
he
told
me
I
could
say
his
name.
A
It
was
charlie
ewoldt
and
he
said
it's
a
beautiful
well-built
building
and
he
saw
that
we
were
talking
about
building
a
city
hall.
We
had
ear,
not
earmarked,
but
we
had
anticipated
spending
about
five
million
dollars
on
building
a
city
hall.
When
I
first
became
mayor,
I
pushed
that
back
didn't
think
the
timing
was
right
to
put
that
much
money
into
a
city
hall
building,
but
now
with
the
city
manager
coming
on
board.
We're
kind
of
bursting
at
the
seams
here
and
this
building
has
some
issues.
So
the
timing
was
right.
A
A
That
we
should
close
around
the
end
of
february,
and
it
that
gives
the
people
who
have
safe
deposit
boxes
in
the
wells
fargo
enough
time
to
get
them
out
and
the
employees
are
moving
over
to
the
other
branch
and
just
to
say
something
about
wells.
Fargo
they've
been
really
wonderful
to
work
with
banking
is
done
so
differently.
Today,
it's
people
hardly
ever
go
in
a
bank
anymore
and
the
big
building
has
been
more
than
they
needed,
and
so
it
you
know
it's
working
out
from
both
directions.
A
I
I
would
just
like
to
point
out
to
the
to
the
public:
that's
that's
watching
this
that
the
reason
this
hasn't
been
forward.
Obviously,
it's
a
negotiation
with
a
contract
involved,
but
the
same
time
wells
fargo
has
not
did
not
let
their
employees
know
that
they
were
looking
to
move
on
from
that
facility
as
well.
I
C
Just
a
comment
over
my
career
as
an
accountant
I
get
in
that
building
many
many
times
upstairs
downstairs.
That
is
a
beautiful
facility
very
well
built
a
contingent
of
us.
I
toured
the
property
after
hours,
one
night
earlier
this
spring
and
very
favorably
impressed
with
it.
So
I'm
excited
about
what
this,
what
this
will
mean
for
us
in
the
way
of
a
city
hall
going
forward.
I
A
Yes,
yes,
so
they're,
the
normal,
you
know
we'll
have
a
an
inspection
period
assuming
that
the
inspection
comes
out
just
as
we
expect
and
then
there's
you
know.
Of
course
the
bank
is
taking
over
some
of
the
equipment.
That's
in
there,
they'll
take
with
them
some
of
the
things
they're
leaving
and
that's
all
spelled
out
in
the
agreement
and
the
cash
machines,
for
instance.
A
We
have
no
need
for
that,
so
they'll
be
removing
that,
but
we'll
be
putting
an
rfp
out
in
the
near
future
to
look
for
an
architect
to
help
us
to
prepare
that
building
to
occupy
and
hopefully
be
able
to
move
into
it
by.
You
know
we'll
get
to
start
our
remodel
in
march
and
hopefully
be
able
to
move
in
in
july
or
june,
if
possible,.
A
C
E
B
E
G
B
D
A
Thank
you
and
then
the
next
thing
that
question
that
we
really
haven't
tackled
on
what
happens
to
this
building.
We
haven't
got
a
plan
for
that
yet,
but
I'm
sure
over
the
coming
months,
we'll
come
up
with
one
all
right.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
20-42,
an
amendment
to
the
zoning
designation
of
pud
planned
unit
development
for
williston
edition.
J
J
The
current
zoning
for
this
area
for
this
subdivision
is
planned
unit
development
and
what
plan
unit
developments
allow
for
is
some
level
of
some
degree
of
flexibility,
some
latitude
and
and
the
uses
of
the
property
they
oftentimes
include
mixed
uses
to
some
extent
they
can
sometimes
include
variances
to
setback
requirements
and
things
of
that
nature.
It's
kind
of
a
tool
in
the
toolbox
for
developers
to
use
when
they've
got
a
unique
project
with
unique
types
of
design
considerations.
J
J
You'll
have
the
living
quarters
and,
on
the
other
end
you'll
have
an
oversized
attached
garage,
more
or
less
where
people
can
store
their
cars
or
boats
or
rvs
or
things
of
that
nature.
The
living
quarters,
of
course,
would
be
built
to
design
standards
to
meet
building
codes
as
far
as
fire
separation
and
things
of
that
nature,
and
the
other
thing
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
the
developer.
J
Does
have
specific
covenants
which
are
attached
to
the
council
packet
and
they
they
show
the
clear
amendments
in
those
covenants
that
restrict
the
living
quarters
to
the
specified
units
called
out
in
those
covenants.
The
other
units
would
remain
as
private
storage
units
there's
no
commercial
uses
allowed
in
this
pud
area
and
they
don't
intend
on
making
any
changes
along
those
lines.
J
G
J
E
B
I
I
Just
for
clarification,
I
sat
through
the
planning
and
zoning
meeting
on
this
one.
I
believe
there
was
one
opposed
and
the
rest
were
four
they're
very
specific.
As
far
as
what's
going
to
be
there
who's
going
to
be
allowed,
I
believe
it's
three
units
that
will
be
allowed
for
a
living
area
and
the
rest
will
be
they're,
not
contractor
shops
or
storage
units.
So
with
two
of
them,
I
believe,
being
mr
monger's
personal,
combine
that
unit
18,
I
believe,
will
be
his
personal
one,
so
they
vetted
that
out.
I
G
Yeah,
I
suppose
it
did.
I
just
remember
it
was
pretty
contentious
the
first
time
we
went
over
it.
I
know
there
was
an
amendment,
so
I
just
wasn't
sure
if
we
had
decided
that
the
trigger
was
when
they
developed
to
the
south
of
it
or
if
it
was
the
wave
until
there
is
development
behind
it.
So
sounds
like
councilman
lawlin
answered
that.
A
A
C
A
A
A
J
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
this
funding
request.
This
is
a
process
in
securing
funding
from
the
state
through
the
south
dakota
board
of
water,
natural
resources
for
primary
clarifier
number
two
replacement
project.
If
the
council
could
recall,
we've
we're
under
a
design
contract
with
hdr
engineering
for
design
services
for
our
primary
clarifier,
the
existing
clarifiers
beyond
has
made
its
useful
life
and
is
out
of
commission
and
is
in
need
of
replacement,
based
on
a
previous
analysis
and
report
that
was
provided
to
us
also
by
hdr.
J
That's
to
do
all
things
on
behalf
of
the
city,
signing
pay
request
and
in
the
event
that
the
financial
assistance
is
awarded.
So
those
three
things
is
what
this
resolution
is
accomplishing
and
it
puts
our
project
in
the
next
step,
along
the
lines
of
securing
funding
up
to
the
two
and
a
half
million
dollars.
J
If
you
recall
the
step
prior
to
this
was
to
actually
get
the
project
on
the
state's
water
plan,
which
was
approved
here
in
a
recent
not
too
distant
past,
mike
berger,
the
water
wastewater
excuse
me,
wastewater
superintendent
is
online
with
us
tonight
and
then,
of
course,
kristen
bob
zeen
finance
officer.
The
three
of
us,
along
with
first
district,
have
worked
together
with
this
information
and
can
help
answer
any
questions.
The
council
might
have.
A
A
I
K
K
So
right
now
we're
in
a
position
where
we
can't
take
the
primary
clarifier
number
one
out
of
service
for
some
of
the
maintenance
activities
that
we
should
be
doing
to
it
and
we'll
be
doing
to
it
as
soon
as
we
can
and
additionally,
in
a
wet
event,
when
the
flows
come
up
in
the
spring
in
a
flood
event.
You'll
need
that
second
clarifier
to
handle
a
greater
flow
when
you
go
through
those
wet
events.
K
I
K
Oh
geez,
I
tell
you
well
this
one
is
60
years
old.
I
I
guess
I
couldn't
give
you
an
exact
life
expectancy
of
it,
but
I
think
you'd
be
looking
at
something
similar
to
that.
I
think
going
forward
this.
This
unit
is
all
out
of
just
st
steel,
no
stainless
steel
on
on
the
on
the
metal
mechanisms.
Two
components
have
failed
here.
Basically,
the
concrete
structure
the
concrete
has
failed
and
in
all
of
the
internal
mechanisms,
the
collector
mechanism
and
the
baffle
plates
in
the
center
column,
all
the
metal
components.
K
That
is,
the
machinery
that
performs
the
process.
All
of
that
most
metal
components
are
exhibiting
section
loss
which
means
they've,
they've,
grown
thinner
over
these
60
years
or
or
whatever
the
exact
years
of
service
are,
and
they're
thinner
and
so
they've
lost
straight
so,
but
yeah
this
this
particular
tank
is
60
years
old.
K
K
Oh,
I
think
that
we
would
have
it
done
in
in
the
in
the
course
of
the
year
we
break
ground
in
the
spring,
and
I
I
would
I
don't
have
a
schedule
yet
on
it,
but
I
would
say
that
we
would
we
would
have
it.
I
would
hope
that
would
certainly
have
it
in
service
before
any.
What
event
the
following
spring
in
in,
like
this
before
the
spring
of
2022.,.
C
K
No,
I
I
I
don't
have
any
concern
on
that,
the
when
they
put
them
on
the
state
water
plan,
they're
comfortable
that
they're
going
to
be
able
to
meet
those
requirements,
so
I
think
we
would
have.
I
think
we
would
have
heard
something
from
the
division
of
financial
technical
assistance
by
now.
So
I
think
we'll
be
okay.
A
F
D
B
C
B
C
C
A
J
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
This
is
a
a
long
awaited
amendment
to
chapter
24,
subdivision
procedures.
Chapter
24,
the
ordinance
is,
is
very
closely
linked
to
chapter
21.
21
is
our
zoning
ordinance
and
in
simplistic
terms,
chapter
21
of
zoning
tells
people
what
they
can
do
on
their
property
per
the
zoning
laws,
and
then
chapter
24
subsequently
tells
them
how
to
do
what
they're
allowed
to
do.
In
other
words,
what
what's
required?
What
process
do
you
need
to
go
through
for
permitting
and
what
improvements
are
required
on
that
property?
J
J
This
this
process
amendment
has
been
checked
off
by
what
we've
been
calling
the
the
development
task
force.
It's
a
committee
of
developers
and
contractors
and
local
consultant
engineers,
chris
shilkin
from
the
watertown
development
company,
has
been
spearheading
it.
As
of
lately,
it's
an
initiative
that
the
mayor
helped
kick
off
either
shortly
after
becoming
mayor
or
some
some
time
thereafter
and
together
collectively,
we've
come
up
with
these
recommendations
that
we've
also
ran
through
the
planning.
J
Commission,
of
course,
who
have
voted
unanimously
for
approval
of
these
changes
again
brandy,
hanton
urban
planners
online
also
online
is
stacy
vanguard.
The
community
development
manager
and
chris
is
present
here
with
us
in
the
crowd
and
we'd
love
to
help
answer
any
questions
that
the
council
might
have
or
highlight
any
of
the
changes
you
might
feel
you
want
us
to
to
go
over
or
highlight
with
you
here
this
evening.
J
You
know
off
the
cuff,
I
I
don't
believe
it
will
change
any
impact
as
far
as
what
the
council
sees
the
biggest
change
that's
occurring.
Is
it
it's
amending
when
the
planning
commission
sees
a
a
plan
from
a
developer
and
right
now
they
take
a
preliminary
plan
to
the
planning
commission
for
approval,
and
that
does
not
come
forward
to
council.
The
changes
is
that
will
become
a
concept
plan
that
they're
bringing
forth
to
the
planning
commission
and
again
that
still
will
not
come
forward
to
the
council
either.
J
Yes,
any
variations
or
variances
to
the
design
standards
is
required
that
they
are
identified
at
the
time
of
the
concept
plan
so
that
they
can
be
vetted
by
the
planning
commission-
and
I
don't
recall,
mayor
or
brandy,
somebody
could
recall
my
memory
rather
help
me
with
my
memory
here.
Those
variances
then
would
just
be
brought
forward
to
council
for
information
purposes.
I
believe
is
that
how
we
left
that
yeah.
A
B
Okay,
so
here
so
when
you're
talking
about
the
okay,
so
the
effective
period
of
the
concept
plan
the
amendments
and
then
this
is
where
it
talks
about
what
a
minor
change
in
a
major
change
will
be.
But
do
you
guys
want
me
to
take
a
step
back
and
just
talk
about
kind
of
how
the
process
will
look
all
together.
B
B
You
can
see
the
things
that
we've
added
to
what
needs
to
be
a
part
of
a
concept
plan,
and
then
so.
This
plan
is
what
will
go
to
plan
commission
for
approval
with
a
public
hearing
and
then
the
preliminary
plan
and
the
construction
plans
and
planning
all
of
that
will
be
taken
care
of
administratively
and
after
it's
being
reviewed
by
the
design
review
team
and
the
design
review
team
consists
of
multiple
staff
of
different
departments
that
all
are
divisions
and
departments
that
all
play
a
role
with
the
developments,
so
then
to
okay.
B
So
if
these
are
where
the
minor
and
major
changes
is
spelled
out,
once
the
concept
plan
is
approved
by
the
plan
commission,
then
the
minor
changes
are
changing.
The
local
street
pattern
street
name
lot
lines;
development
phases,
subdivision,
name
rights
away
widths.
All
of
that
you
guys
can
read
that.
I
think
if
you
can
see.
C
B
Once
that
constant
plan
is
approved
by
the
plan
commission,
then
it
goes
on
to
the
the
preliminary
plan
and
the
construction
plan.
Steps
as
we
had
before
it
just
is
the
timing
difference
of
when
the
plan
commission
is
seeing
and
seeing
it
and
being
able
to
provide
input
at
a
a
more
large
scheme
of
what's
going
on.
Instead
of
getting
into
the
the
engineering
technical.
C
A
follow-up
on
that
brandy
or
heath.
You
know,
I
know
the
developers
were,
you
know
very
much
in
favor
of
this
change.
The
planning
commission
was
a
question
I've
got
is:
is
there
any
concern,
the
part
of
staff
that
that
work
or
or
us
as
council,
that
we're
putting
more
burden
on
on
staff
or
more
authority
in
staff's
hand,
or
is
it
actually
going
to
facilitate
your
your
your
process?
I,
I
guess
I'd
like
a
a
comment
from
heath
or
you
randy,
on
on
what
I'm
trying
to
ask
here.
J
No,
that's
that's
great
consideration:
councilman
phil
howard.
I
think
it's
important
to
weigh
in
to
any
time
we're
making
a
substantial
change
like
this.
I
I'm
confident
at
a
staff
level.
The
way
these
amendments
are
proposed
would
help
streamline
the
process
it.
It
gives
the
appropriate
level
of
check
offs
up
front
from
the
elected
bodies,
the
planning
commission
in
particular,
and
it
does
give
a
certain
level
of
discernment
for
staff,
whether
it
be
the
community
development
manager
myself.
J
As
the
city
public
works
director
for
discerning
certain
things
like
when
it
comes
to
minor
major
changes,
but
I
think
that
together
the
the
the
training
that
both
stacy
and
I
have
and
the
experience
with
that
the
staff
has
that
we
can
discern
those
things
and
check
those
off
appropriately
and
not
be
put
into
too
difficult
of
a
position
by
any
means
and
in
relation
to
other
processes
that
we've
also
carried
out
in
other
communities.
I
think
that
this
would
be
pretty
straightforward
and
customary
to
those
processes
that
were
similar
and
in
comparison.
A
Item
f
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
20-44,
an
amendment
to
subsection
one
of
section,
2.0118
of
the
revised
ordinances
of
the
city
of
watertown
to
make
available
four
additional
types
of
alcoholic
beverage
licenses
and
no
action
on
this
one
either.
But
I
will
ask
city
attorney:
matt
roby,
to
tell
us
what's
going
on
here.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
council.
As
you'll
recall
a
few
weeks
ago,
we
considered
a
temporary
liquor,
license
transfer
for
an
event.
That
was
a
wedding
that
was
occurring
in
an
industrial
zone
and
it
sparked
the
conversation
about
this
special
event.
Licensing-
and
I
mentioned
at
the
time
that
there
was
an
additional
category
of
special
event
license
that
the
city
for
some
reason
did
not
adopt
when
special
event
licenses
came
into
being
in
2010,
and
so
after
that
conversation,
I
took
it
back
to
the
drawing
board
here
and
brought
forth
this
ordinance
amendment.
E
Heart,
alcohol,
but
also
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
adds
three
additional
categories
of
special
event
licenses
that
were
that
have
been
added
in
the
last
few
years
by
the
legislature,
and
these
last
three
categories
are
meant
to
account
for
circumstances
where
the
beverages
are
donated,
and
so
I
think
the
best
example
would
be
a
charity
auction
where
somebody
donated
three
or
four
bottles
of
wine
or
something
like
that
to
be
auctioned
off
as
part
of
a
silent
auction.
I
think
that
was
the
kind
of
the
intention
there.
E
A
A
All
right
item
g
is
authorization
for
the
police
department
to
backfill
a
police
officer
position
due
to
patrol
officer
on
military
leave
for
one
year.
I
do
need
action
on
that,
so
moved
motion
by
lalum
and
a
second
by
rademski,
and
I
believe
we
have
assistant
chief
tim
toomey
online
to
talk
about
this.
E
Yes,
mayor,
thank
you.
Thank
you,
mayor
and
council.
I
do
come
before
you
today
to
ask
for
authorization
to
backfill
position.
Officer
juan
flores
is
been
has
been
ordered
to
about
a
year-long
deployment
where
he's
gonna
become
a
combat
medic,
so
we're
gonna
be
without
him
for
approximately
a
year.
His
orders
are
from
november
27th
to
october
10th,
and
he
assures
me
once
he
returns.
He'll
have
another
30
days
to
do
after
that.
So
we
don't
expect
to
have
him
back
till
december
or
january
of
next
year.
E
E
B
C
E
D
A
Motion
carry
thank
you
item.
H.
Is
authorization
for
the
police
department
to
purchase
two
cameras
for
3104.90
and
13
portable
radios
for
thirty
seven
thousand
dollars?
Eighty
eight
thirty,
seven
thousand
eight
hundred
seventy
one
dollars:
ninety
nine
cents,
using
coveted
relief
fund
dollars
previously
awarded
to
the
city
of
watertown.
A
E
Thanks
mayor,
this
one
is,
as
you
know,
the
police
department
filled
four
key
positions
in
the
covid
task
force
as
well.
As
many
of
the
meetings
were
taking
place
in
our
community
room.
We
felt
to
reduce
those
numbers.
We
actually
borrowed
a
camera
from
the
fire
department
to
so
we
could
have
team
meetings
that
turned
out
to
be
invaluable,
especially
with
training
for
our
officers.
E
A
lot
of
that
went
virtual,
so
these
cameras
that
we're
asking
would
be
used
in
times
of
pandemic,
as
well
as
many
many
other
times.
So
we
feel
this
is
an
appropriate
use
of
those
funds.
We
have
been
in
contact
with
monty
kramer,
who's,
the
loan
coordinator
and
maybe
kristen
canfield
moore,
and
who
that
is,
but
he
does
support
the
purchase
of
the
cameras
as
well
as
the
portable
radios.
E
Those
radios
will
replace
13
radios,
as
most
of
you
probably
already
know
we
by
2023
we
have
to
be
p25
compliant
and
that's
just
digitally
for
interoperability
among
other
agencies,
but
we're
the
state
is
requiring
us
to
be
compliant.
Our
current
radios
are
not
compliant,
so
that
will
help
reduce
the
number
of
radios
that
we
need
by
2023
and
that
would
ensure
seamless
communication
during
a
pandemic
or
any
any
emergency.
So
we're
just
asking
authorization
to
use
those
funds
for
those
purposes.
E
E
G
E
I
C
B
B
The
biggest
reason
that
we're
kind
of
coming
forward
to
ask
is
these
are
unbudgeted
purchases.
So
essentially
this
is
the
council
giving
those
departments
kind
of
the
go
ahead
to
purchase
something
that
wasn't
intended
to
be
purchased.
The
majority
of
the
covid
relief
fund
is
being
spent
on
public
safety
personnel,
so
once
we
were
told
by
the
state
that
these
would
be
eligible,
it
seemed
like
a
good
use
of
the
dollars.
B
I
was
also
contacted
by
the
state
to
kind
of
give
a
projection
of,
if
I
would,
if
the
city
of
watertown
would
need
any
more
funding.
So
having
items
like
this
kind
of
come
into
play,
there
is
a
potential
that
if
there
are
dollars
left
and
we
as
a
city
still
have
a
need,
we
can
incorporate
and
maybe
ask
for
more
so.

Question
for
tim
thanks
mayor
question:
for
tim:
if
you're
buying
13
new
radios,
does
that
mean
you
have
27
that
are
still
outdated
or
are
the
other
27
up
to
speed,
or
why
did
you
not
ask
for
40
when
you
were
in
this
cares
act
money,
great
question,
thanks
dan?
No,
we
we
have
been
slowly
replacing
those
through
different
grants
for
the
last
few
years.
E
A
E
A
All
right,
thank
you
item.
I
is
approval
of
alcoholic
beverage
license
renewals
for
calendar
year,
2021
package
off
sale,
liquor,
retail
on
sale,
liquor,
retail
on
off
sale,
wine
and
cider
promotion
by
lollum
second,
and
a
second
by
redempsky
and
I'll.
Ask
the
finance
officer,
kristen
bobsien,
to
tell
us
about
this.
B
Thank
you
mayor.
It
is
the
time
for
the
annual
renewal
of
the
alcoholic
beverage
licenses.
It
was
in
the
packet,
the
off
sale,
liquor
on
sale,
liquor
and
then
the
on
off
wine
insider.
These
are
all
the
licenses
that
are
coming
up
for
renewal,
and
none
of
these
would
have
had
a
violation
or
anything.
So
it's
just
a
straightforward
renewal
for
the
annual
period
of
2021..
I
B
C
B
A
B
E
D
A
All
right,
thank
you
item
j
is
approval
of
resolution
number
20-54
authorizing
the
execution
and
terms
of
a
memorandum
of
understanding,
developer
agreement
and
a
bond
anticipation.
Note
and
retention
of
professionals
have
a
motion
by
will
howard,
second
and
a
second
by
lollam,
and
I
understand
we
have
some
counsel
here
but
I'll.
Let
our
city
attorney
kick
this
off.
E
M
In
reality,
the
developer's
agreement
is
an
obligation
to
pay
money
at
a
future
date
which
is
basically
just
passing
through
the
tax
increment
and
it
technically
constitutes
a
bond.
But
it's
not
an
obligation
of
the
city.
There
are
only
obligations
passed
through
tax
increment,
so
matt
got
on
the
phone
and
said
you
know.
We
would
like
to
figure
out
a
way
which
we
could
lower
the
and
sorry
kristen
also
is
on
the
phone
to
lower
the
amount
of
the
borrowing
cost
during
that
period.
M
When
you
construct
your
improvements
and
before
your
tax
increment
goes
on,
and
so
this,
what
we
decided
is
a
possibility
is,
we
would
issue
bond
anticipation,
notes
and
the
city
would
borrow
money
temporarily.
Bond
anticipation
notes
are
a
maximum
of
three
years
and
at
the
end
of
those
three
years
or
somewhere
in
the
middle,
the
the
the
watertown
development
company
would
enter
into
the
developers.
Agreement
go
to
the
local
bank
borrow
enough
money
to
pay
back.
The
bond
anticipation
note
and
what
that
would
do
is
during
the
three-year
period.
M
You'd
have
tax-exempt
interest
which
is
lower
and
when
they
take
it
out,
then
it's
just
an
obligation
between
between
watertown
development,
company
and
the
bank,
and
really
it's
just
a
private
loan
and
at
that
point
into
the
future,
it's
all
the
city
of
watertown
does
is
when
they
get
the
tax
increment
payment
from
the
county.
They
forward
it
on.
M
They
don't
guarantee
that
it's
enough
and
they'll
only
agree
to
a
certain
amount
of
time
that
they'll
pass
that
through
and
for
a
dollar
amount
and
an
imputed
interest,
and
so
what
this
resolution
does
is
number
one.
It
approves
in
section
two,
a
memorandum
of
understanding
which
is
we're
going
to
enter
into,
and
the
city
is
going
to
enter
into
agreement
with
the
watertown
development
company.
To
basically
say
this
is
what
we're
going
to
do
and
how
this
process
works.
M
They
can
then
issue
a
bond
anticipation
out,
go
to
probably
the
same
financial
institution,
that's
going
to
loan
to
watertown
development
company,
the
the
amount
of
money
to
do
the
improvements,
and
they
will
then
pay
off
the
the
bond
anticipation
note
when
they
enter
into
the
developers
agreement,
and
so
it's
a
tax-exempt
to
taxable
transaction,
and
this
resolution
approves
the
three,
the
three
memorandum,
the
the
memorandum,
the
developers
agreement
bond
anticipation,
note.
Those
are
the
three
documents
that
we
need
to
do
to
in
order
to
accomplish
this
structure.
N
M
Note
we
will
have
a
commitment
from
the
bank
who
will
commit
to
buy
it'll,
be
the
same
institution
by
the
same
bond,
anticipation,
note
and
then
they'll
just
turn
it
around
when
it's,
when
the
construction
of
the
improvements
are
done
with
their
note
with
the
watertown
development
corporation,
which
I
assume
will
be
secured
by
whatever
the
bank
determines.
But
it's
all
that
the
city
will
be
liable
for
is
to
collect
the
tax
increment
from
the
county
and
pass
it
through,
but.
M
The
bond
anticipation,
note
is
the
lower
interest
rate
and
they'll
have
to
negotiate
their
their
longer
term
bank
borrowing
with
the
bank,
and
that
will
depend
on
probably
the
underlying
who's,
improving
the
property
owner
who
is
and
developer
who's,
improving
the
land
and
then
what
the
watertown
development
company,
what
their
role
will
be
in?
Will
they
be
guaranteeing,
but
that
will
be
up
to
the
underwriting
at
the
financial
institution.
The
bank.
C
A
follow-up
to
what
you
just
asked
a
while
ago,
mayor
as
far
as
risk
to
the
city
that
was
answered
to
my
satisfaction,
I
also
want
to
clarify,
in
effect
as
as
far
as
any
kind
of
effect,
on
the
city's
cash
flow.
Throughout
this
whole
process,
I
mean,
as
I
understand
there
is
not,
but
can
you
clarify.
M
C
E
So
we
had
a
way
to
get
from
point
a
to
point,
b
and
visiting
with
matt
and
kristen
and
others
and
todd
here
that
we
wanted
to
find
a
tool
that
allowed
to
do
that
without
putting
burden
on
you
know
the
sales
tax
collection
or
any
other
things
that
have
been
brought
up
so
think
this
is
it.
We
don't
know
how
banks
will
respond.
Todd's
had
a
lot
of
history
here,
but
I
think
we'll
find
out
once
this
package
goes
out
to
see
what
kind
of
interest
there
is
and
something
like
that.
C
A
C
B
C
B
C
I
D
A
All
right,
thank
you.
So
item
k
is
review
of
the
continued
necessity
of
resolution
number
20-15
declaring
an
emergency
concerning
the
pandemic
outbreak
of
the
novel,
coronavirus,
covid19
and
providing
for
responsive
measures
related
to
the
operations
of
the
city
and
the
protection
of
public
health,
and
I
sensed
that
there
was
a
change
going
on.
Our
numbers
were
going
up
and
or
very
rapidly
and
are
hearing
all
around
the
country
that
communities
and
states
are
taking
extra
action
to
curb
the
growth
of
coronavirus
in
their
communities
and
states.
A
And
so
I
reached
out
to
the
medical
advisors
that
are
part
of
our
incident
command
team.
The
unified
commanders
who
are
in
the
medical
field
and
asked
how
they're
doing
if
they
thought
that
it
was
time
for
us
to
take
any
further
steps
than
what
we
were
doing.
And
I,
the
response
was
positive
that,
yes,
we
we
should
be
doing
more,
and
this
is
a
medical
recommendation
for
a
public
health
emergency
that
we're
taking
here
and
we're
not
looking
for
a
popular
opinion
about
whether
masks
are
needed
or
not.
A
Nor
will
the
city
be
responsible
for
enforcement.
At
this
time.
This
mandate
will
take
effect
immediately
upon
passage
and
will
be
automatically
and
will
automatically
expire
at
the
first
meeting
of
the
city
council
in
the
year.
2021,
unless
extended
and
so
of
the
seven
unified
commanders,
six
voted
in
favor
and
one
was
opposed,
and
so
that's
what
we
have
here
and
I
did
invite
the
unified
command
commanders
and
also
dr
seney,
who
is
a
pulmonologist
or
a
lung
specialist,
with
prairie
prairie
lakes,
healthcare
system
to
be
available.
A
Follow
the
recommendation
of
the
unified
command
team
in
adopting
a
masked
mandate
that
has,
at
this
time
no
penalty
for
non-compliance
and
some
of
the
things
like
someone
may
have
just
recovered
from
covid
and
they're
in
their
period
of
immunity.
We're
not
going
to
ask
them.
Maybe
someone
has
an
anxiety.
Disorder
cannot
wear
a
mask,
we're
not
going
to
ask
them.
A
So
there
is
a
potential
for
goodness
to
come
out
of
this.
It's
not
guaranteed
that
this
will
make
a
difference,
but
the
science
and
and
evidence
from
studies
that
are
ongoing
shows
that
it's
very
likely
that
having
this
in
place
will
make
a
difference,
a
positive
difference
in
reducing
the
spread
of
virus
in
our
community.
E
I
I
wonder
I
know
the
motion's
already
been
made,
but
I
wonder
if
it's
going
to
have
any
teeth,
though,
if
there
isn't
any
penalty,
you
know,
we've
gone
through
seat
belts
and
people
didn't
pay
much
attention,
we
put
25
on
it,
and
now
people
pay
more
attention
and
it's
saved
lots
and
lots
of
lives.
Proven
we've
had
other
examples
of
where,
when
we
don't
have
a
penalty
like
texting,
then
people
text,
but
when
they
put
the
penalty
on
it,
and
I'm
not
looking
for
more
work
for
the
police
officers.
E
A
Okay,
thank
you
and,
and
I
think
that
we're
seeing
that
these
types
of
mandates
in
our
state
have
been
very
difficult.
The
councils
have
have
struggled
to
get
consensus
on
on
that
part
about
enforcement
and
actually
right
after
the
incident
command
meeting
today,
I
was
on
a
conference
call
with
the
south
dakota
mayors,
and
I
learned
that
other
communities
in
our
state
have
already
enacted
or
are
about
to
consider
very
similar
types
of
actions.
A
The
city
of
aberdeen
already
has
a
similar
action
in
place.
Huron
is
considering
one
as
we
speak
tonight.
A
no
penalty
mandate,
sioux
falls,
will
be
voting
on
a
no
penalty
mandate.
Tomorrow,
vermillion
has
a
different
regulation
which
requires
all
businesses
to
post
signs,
saying
mass
are
expected,
and
their
mayor
says
that
people
are
complying
for
the
most
part
and
rapid
city
is
doing
a
press
conference
tomorrow
to
announce
that
personal
responsibility
is
failing
and
they
have
enough
votes
now
to
pass
a
mandate,
so
they'll
be
moving
forward
with
it.
A
The
I
would
say
if,
if
we
try
to
get
into
a
penalty
on
this,
it
might
delay
the
passage,
and
I
don't
think
we
have
time
to
wait,
and
I
I
think
that
if,
if
it
goes
in
without
penalty
today,
we
don't
know
for
sure
if
that
will
make
a
difference,
but
there's
a
gut
feeling
that
people
will
obey
the
rule
of
law
and
that
there
might
be
some
positive
change.
If
not,
we
can
always
assess
a
penalty
at
a
later
date.
G
Thank
you
mayor,
so
here's
the
thing
I
feel
like
at
this
point
putting
teeth
on
it
isn't
specifically
necessary.
I
agree
with
you
that
I
think
it's
just
gonna
delay
getting
it
through,
but
the
other
side
of
it
is
that
we're
trying
to
respect
people
in
the
sense
that
they
can
make
this
decision
on
their
own.
G
G
G
I
think
this
is
the
least
we
can
do
for
them
to
show
our
support
in
what
they're
trying
to
combat
right
now.
So
I
know
none
of
us
want
to
see
the
schools
closed.
We
don't
want
to
see
any
slowing
of
the
economy
or
anything.
So
I
I
think
that
this
is
a
really
healthy,
wise
and
well-informed
decision
to
go
down
this
path.
Just
doing
our
part,
you
know
again,
there's
not
a
ton
of
teeth
to
it.
G
So
if
you're
that
stubborn,
I
guess,
then
you
can
make
your
own
excuse,
but
I
I
think
it's
a
good
call
to
arms
that
you
know
we're
going
into
the
winter.
We
need
to
take
this
thing
a
little
more
seriously,
we're
going
to
be
indoors
a
lot
more.
So
let's
do
what
we
can
to
slow
it
down,
and
you
know
just
try
to
be
responsible
about
it.
I
think
it's.
The
least
we
can
do
for
all
those
people
that
are
dealing
with
it
every
day.
A
L
This
is
really
an
unprecedented
situation,
is
something
we've
never
had
to
deal
with
before
you
know.
We
always
look
to
past
precedence
to
help
us
make
decisions,
and
we
don't
have
any
past
precedence
on
this
one.
I
first
got
when
that
we
were
looking
at
doing
this
probably
noon
on
saturday,
and
I
have
put
a
tremendous
amount
of
time
into
talking
to
people
over
the
weekend
and
throughout
the
day
trying
to
get
a
good
handle
on
where
I
thought
we
should
go
with
this.
L
What
other
communities
do
we
oftentimes?
Look
to
them
for
examples
as
well
doesn't
mean
what
we
should
do
with
what
they
do,
but
we
need
to
depend
on
what
our
people
tell
us,
etc.
I
would
add
to
what
the
mayor
said
that
aberdeen,
I
think
back
about
early
november,
they
did
pass
a
resolution
about
mask
wearing
and
then
I
went
online
and
I
watched
a
couple
council
meetings
from
other
communities.
I
watched
one
of
the
brookings
council
meetings.
It
was
about
a
couple
hours
long.
L
L
L
So
the
people
I
spoke
with
very
much
a
varied
group
people
in
the
medical
industry,
medical
professionals,
business
people,
many
others,
a
lot
of
different
viewpoints
on
masks,
and
I
I've.
I
heard
comments
along
the
lines
that
some
said
they're
only
about
two
percent
effective.
Some
said
it's
the
most
effective
thing
that
you
can
do
so
my
opinion
is
this.
I
think
everybody
should
wear
a
mask
when
you
can.
L
L
The
upside
is,
you
can
protect
yourself
or
protect
others,
and
again
it's
such
a
small
sacrifice.
I
think
we
ought
to
really
really
people
should
be
wearing
masks.
So
my
opinion,
again
is
masks
are
helpful.
They
are
one
of
the
key
elements
of
what
I
call
a
layered
approach.
In
conjunction
with
you
know,
social
distancing
and
sanitizing.
L
L
This
is
a
very
emotional
issue
and
believe
me,
I
saw
it
in
the
replays
of
the
other
council
meetings
from
other
communities.
I
read
in
one
of
the
articles
from
aberdeen.
It
was
the
most
divisive
issue
that
person's
ever
faced
in
20
years
of
city
government.
So
there's
three
ways
we
can
address
this.
You
can
shame
people
into
doing
it
and
that's
not
going
to
work.
You
can
force
people
to
do
it
like
we
are
with
an
ordinance
or
you
can
try
and
convince
people.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do
in
this
very
unique
situation.
L
L
I
then
think
we
should
follow
up
with
a
media
blitz
of
advertising,
the
newspaper,
radio,
social
media,
posters
and
public
and
private
places
to
get
everybody
on
board.
I
think
you
know
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
get
people
to
wear
masks.
What's
the
best
way,
we
can
do
that
in
short
order.
I
think,
to
get
the
citizens
of
watertown
a
mask
wearing
mode.
I
prefer
this
method.
We
should
try
and
make
this
the
team
atmosphere
versus
we're
going
to
force
you
to
do
it.
So
we
want
community
participation
and
we
want
results.
L
A
O
Oh
yeah,
I
don't
want
to
repeat,
what's
all
been
said,
because
they're
really
good
points,
so
I'm
going
to
just
throw
in
a
few
more
of
my
own.
I
agree
that
this
is
a
thing
we
can
do
for
our
healthcare
community
and
for
our
community
in
general,
and
I
believe
that
we
can
rally
the
city
as
a
team.
I
think
if
people
look
at
it,
this
way
don
referenced
the
layered
approach
and
there
was
a
really
cute
but
very
effective
visual
on
the
covet
website
that
had
that
swiss
cheese.
O
O
You
know
putting
the
kids
back
home
is
a
strain
on
the
family.
You
know,
if
you
think,
if
you
just
look
at
it
as
a
as
like
don
said,
a
small
way
that
we
can
do
to
prevent
all
these
other
things.
You
know
just
right
now
in
our
state,
the
people
over
70
only
make
up
10
of
all
the
cases
in
the
state
and
people
under
40
make
up
50
of
all
the
cases
and
yet
there's
11
deaths
in
that
50
percent
of
people
under
40.
O
There
are
491
deaths
in
the
people
over
70..
So
my
message
there
is
for
younger
people
to
say:
hey,
there's
a
lot.
I
can
do
to
change
my
habits
and
my
pattern
of
behavior
and
help
make
sure
that
this
statistic
doesn't
keep
growing
like
this
and
that's
a
way
for
us
to
team
around.
You
know
get
creme
and
grandpa
safe.
So
you
know
we
fought
seat
belts
like
this
in
the
80s.
You
know,
everybody,
you
know
didn't
want
a
seat
belt.
O
It
was
our
responsibility
to
buckle
up,
not
the
governments,
but
what
are
we
proven
now
everybody
buckles
up
and
it's
really
safe.
So
as
the
information
continues
to
come
out,
I
think
it's.
It
is
leaning
towards
this
as
long
as
it's
put
in
with
all
the
other
things-
and
my
last
thing,
I'd
like
to
add,
is
in
addition
to
the
public
service
announcements
and
the
posters
or
whatever,
can
we
please
put
stuff
in
there
about
how
to
correctly
wear
a
mask?
O
N
A
H
N
A
I
put
that
in
because
of
the
ceo
of
our
prairie
lakes.
Health
care
system
told
me
that
the
models,
some
of
the
models,
show
that
we'll
keep
our
numbers
are
going
to
keep
increasing
until
january,
and
so
that's
that's.
I
just
threw
that
out
there.
If
you
want
to
change
the
date,
that's
perfectly
fine.
It
can
change
whatever
you
like
on
this,
but
some
of
the
models
do
show
that
the
exponential
increase
keeps
going
until
you
know
into
january.
N
D
D
I
don't
know
that
a
lot
of
folks
would
disagree
with
the
fact
that
this
is
airborne
and
there
are
the
droplets
that
people
can
breathe
in
and
it
just
it
just
makes
sense
to
me
that
one
of
those
layered
approaches
being
masks
would
help
curtail
anyone
getting
sick
from
that.
It
would
certainly
help
I
would
have
to
believe
you
know.
D
I
think
we
have
to
really
consider
our
medical
professionals
and
their
safety
and
also,
I
think,
a
big
one
and
beth
kind
of
alluded
to
this
earlier,
our
our
seniors,
the
elders,
elderly,
folks
that
we've
got
you
know
in
assisted
living
nursing
homes,
those
kinds
of
places
you
know
that
gets
in
there,
through
typically
through
employees
that
are
exposed
to
it
in
the
public.
You
know
to
me
this
isn't
a
political
issue.
It's
a
honestly
and
some
it
could.
D
You
could
say
it's
a
life
or
death
issue
for
for
how
we
move
forward
and
how
we
handle
this
and,
like
don
alluded
to-
and
I
I
agree
with
this
100
percent.
I
think
that
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
communicate
and
and
look
at
this
as
a
team
our
community
to
to
have
that
responsibility
and
to
try
to
do
this
to
try
to
use
these
things.
But
you
know
what
can
we
do
to
even
if
and
and
this
gets
a
little.
D
I
guess
this
gets
a
little
dicey
if
we
talk
about
taxpayer
dollars
to
communicate
this,
but
I
think
it's
important
really
important
that
we
do
everything
we
can
right
now
to
con
convince
the
folks
in
our
community
to
do
the
best
they
can.
With
this
minor
inconvenience.
You
know,
we've
got
we're
kind
of
on
the
cusp
of
of
a
vaccine,
it
would
seem-
and
I
just
think
that
you
know
to
call
this
a
mandate
if,
if
you're
not
enforcing
this
to
me,
it's
not
really
a
a
mandate.
D
You
know
you
can
smoke
and
mirror
that
and
say
it's
a
mandate
and
hope
everybody
falls
in
line.
But
I
I
think,
yeah.
The
resolution,
I
think,
is
a
good
idea
if
we
all
fall
into
and
communicate
the
same
thing
if
we
all
are
hopefully
we're
all
in
agreement
that
we
could
put
together
a
resolution
to
to
try
to
get
folks
to
do
the
right
thing
but
yeah.
I
think
I
would
support
communication
extra
communication
and
also
I
would
support
a
resolution.
Thank
you.
L
Thank
you
mayor.
A
couple
of
points,
runner
iterate,
something
I
said
earlier.
You
can
shame
people
who
do
it.
You
can
force
people
to
do
it
or
can
convince
them
to
do
it.
I
want
to
convince
people
to
do
it.
That's
why
looking
at
the
current
resolution,
I
was
expecting
an
ordinance
tonight,
but
this
is
a
resolution
I
think
mandates
should
be
taken
out
of
there
I
think
are
required
should
be
taken
out
of
there.
This
is
a
resolution
which
is
a
statement
of
position.
L
A
C
C
God
bless
our
medical
community,
but
requiring
people
shaming
people
into
wearing
masks
is
not
going
to
accomplish
what
we
hope
to
do.
I
don't
know
what
the
percentage
is
of
people
that
that
are
currently
wearing
mass.
I
mean
it's,
it
there's
getting
to
be
more
and
more
all
the
time,
but
this
this
requirement
to
me
is
not
going
to
significantly
increase
the
number
of
people
that
are
going
to
be
wearing
a
mask.
C
I'm
not
insensitive
to
this.
We
need
to
take
this
seriously
personally.
I've
had
a
daughter,
a
sister
and
a
nephew
that
have
either
had
or
are
recovering
from
covid,
but
I
cannot
support
a
a
res.
What
do
you
call
a
resolution
ordinance
or
whatever
it
is?
I've
got
a
very
hard
time
supporting
anything
that
is
going
to
require
us
to
wear
a
mask.
F
F
F
It's
not
always
a
piece
of
cake
to
wear
a
mask
for
12
hours
a
day.
You
know
I
expect
you
know
I.
I
would
rather
see
us
strongly
encourage
it
than
force
people
to
wear
this.
That's
where
I
sit
on
it.
I
would
strongly
encourage
everybody
that
feels
at
risk
to
wear
it.
If
you're
out
wear
a
mask,
you
know,
but
I
I
just
can't
seem
to
force
people
to
do
it.
I
think
at
some
point
in
time
some
people
need
to
you
know,
decide
on
what
way
is
best
for
them
to
protect
themselves.
A
Q
Q
That's
already
been
happening.
People
are
not
doing
it.
I
think
everybody
needs
to
have
a
step
in
our
world
once
and
see
what
it's
like
and
have
a
little
bit
of
an
idea,
what
we're
going
through
and
what
we're
doing
to
take
care
of
them
when,
when
people
need
to
do
something
more
themselves
to
not
only
help
themselves
but
to
help
us
we're
doing
everything
we
can,
all
we're
doing
is
asking
for
help.
Q
Q
A
A
Q
Right
I
mean
I
had
mentioned
at
our
command
meeting
today
I
mean
normally
I'll,
have
two
nursing
staff
for
each
one
of
us
as
providers
seeing
patients
we're
down
to
one
and
some
of
that
we
have
one
nurse
for
two
providers:
they're
sick,
they're
out.
We
can't
keep
up
every
morning
we
have
a
report
by
7
15.
who's
in
today,
who's
out
today,
when
we
all
get
it
as
far
as
the
providers.
Q
I
don't
know
who's
going
to
see
all
these
people,
but
we're
going
to
run
out
of
people
to
take
care
of
them
and
we're
already
running
out
of
nurses,
because
it's
not
just
from
the
clinic
the
hospital's.
Looking
for
nurses,
people
are
cross-training,
they've,
been
doing
other
things
and
they're
being
stepped
into
a
role
of
anything
that
they
can
do
to
help
take
care
of
these
people.
That's
what
I'm
looking
at
this
is
a
public
health
issue
period,
nothing
else.
P
P
P
We
had,
I
believe,
23
covid19
patients
in
our
hospital.
Today
the
hospital
has
been
having
to
expand
its
supplies
to
deliver
life-sustaining
and
life-saving
oxygen
to
patients
in
the
hospital
we
need
help-
and
I
agree
with
dr
dan
strongly
recommend
is
the
same
thing
that
we're
doing
now.
I
have
been
telling
people
to
wear
masks
every
opportunity
I
have
been
given
since
may.
P
P
That's
the
kind
of
data
that
I'm
seizing
on
I'm
using
small
observational
studies
out
of
broward
county
florida
and
giving
people
heart
guard
for
their
covet
19,
because
I
don't
think
it
will
hurt
them
because
it
might
help
them.
That's
the
level
of
evidence
that
I'm
grasping
for
to
try
to
help
these
patients.
P
P
We
are
not
going
to
be
in
a
good
position
if
current
trends
continue
where
they
are
to
answer
the
question
about
influenza:
we're
starting
to
see
that
in
our
community.
Now,
it's
not
being
not
not
much
of
an
issue
data
from
the
southern
hemisphere,
where,
obviously
our
winters
and
our
summers
are
flipped
around
suggest
that
perhaps
we
might
luck
out
and
influenza
might
not
be
as
severe
as
normal,
because
people
take
precautions
which
are
al,
also
effective
against
influenza
for
covet
19..
P
A
P
P
Obviously,
that's
a
fraction
of
what
we've
seen
lost
to
covet
19
in
the
last
nine
months.
We
tolerate
safety
checks
on
the
highways
where
we
are
stopped
and
forced
to
demonstrate
that
our
safety
lights
work
and
that
we're
wearing
safety
belts
and
inspect
equipment
if
we're
in
a
commercial
vehicle.
Now
I
I
advocate
for
those
it
keeps
people
safe.
P
You
know
the
effectiveness.
The
magnitude
of
the
effectiveness
is
up
for
debate.
What
is
not
up
for
debate
is
that
the
impact
of
mask
wearing
the
magnitude
of
its
effect
becomes
greater
the
greater
the
prevalence
of
of
the
disease
in
the
community,
so
the
more
disease
that
is
here,
the
better
masks
will
work
for
us
all
and
you
can
use
that
with
car
accidents
right.
P
The
faster
you're
driving
the
more
that
that
safety
belt
saves
your
life
when
you're
doing
10
miles
an
hour
and
you
bump
into
something
because
you're
backing
up
and
you're
not
paying
attention
that
safety
belt
didn't
do
anything
for
you
compared
to
what
what
what
could
happen
if
you're
on
the
interstate.
So
that's
a
long
and
rambling
answer
to
what
you
asked.
O
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
was
kind
of
going
down
the
bullet
points
as
the
doctors
were
talking.
I
also
agree
that
without
it
saying
required
or
mandated
there
really
isn't
anything
different
that
we're
doing
that
or
that
we
haven't
already
done.
You
know
if
somebody
wants
to
say
we
have
an
obligation.
We
definitely
have
an
obligation
to
do
this
and
to
do
it
right
so
replace
require
with
obligation.
O
O
That
gives
us
more
resources
to
take
care
of
the
people
who
are
the
most
vulnerable,
and
so,
as
I
listen
to
all
of
the
debate-
and
I
listen
to
the
doctors-
and
I
know
that
if
people
can't
get
to
their
medical
appointments
because
there
aren't
doctors
and
nurses
to
take
care
of
them
or
if
the
kids
again
are
back
home
because
there
aren't
enough
teachers
to
teach
them
in
school,
the
layered
approach.
I
mentioned
that
cute
a
little
visual
with
the
layers
of
swiss
cheese
that
it
couldn't
make
more
sense.
O
That
makes
more
sense
to
me
than
anything.
I've
ever
seen.
Each
thing
you
layer
on
has
pluses
and
minuses,
but
when
you
put
them
all
together
and
you
make
an
effort
to
use
them
as
much
as
you
can
all
together,
it
creates
a
solid
barrier
between
having
the
virus
and
transmitting
it
and
not
getting
it.
And
so
I
I
think
that
I'm
leaning
towards
leaving
it
as
a
required-
and
I
know
that
probably
won't
even
make
me
popular
in
my
own
family.
O
But
I
really
believe
that
this
has
to
be
something
different
than
what
we've
done
all
along.
You
know,
I
can't
think
of
anything
more
important
right
now
and
it's
it's
so
simple.
It's
something!
That's
so
simple
that
we
can
do,
and
I
believe
that
the
reason
why
there's
so
few
traffic
fatalities
now
is
because
we
have
adopted
the
use
of
seat
belts
and
yeah.
It
took
us
kicking
and
screaming
to
do
that,
and
I
hope
it
won't
take
that
long
for
us
to
realize
that
we
can
help
people
by
wearing
a
mask.
O
A
L
L
E
D
D
Dr
rieffenberger's
comments
about
the
medical
staff,
you
know
they
get
into
a
situation
where
the
doctors
are
sick
and
all
the
nurses
are
sick.
That
that
is
a
that's
a
true
concern.
I
mean
that's
a
reality
that
that
you
know
if
this
continues
on
the
course
it
is
we
could.
We
could
have
a
lot
of
difficulties
with
that,
and
I
think
I
still
think
that
it
should,
in
my
opinion,
be
a
resolution,
but
I'm
not
afraid
of
saying
that
we
require
masks
for
that
resolution.
D
N
Thank
you
mayor
I'd
like
to
reiterate
something
that
councilman
roby
said
in
regards
to
the
respect
that
all
of
us
have
for
the
healthcare
professionals,
not
just
the
ones.
Let's
say
in
this
meeting
right
now,
but
those
paying
attention
and
those
working
throughout
the
nation
and
throughout
the
world
we
respect
and
we
respect
the
job
that
you
are
doing.
We
can't
literally
can't
live
without
it.
We
thank
you
for
that.
N
I
know
several
of
my
colleagues
on
the
council
have
reached
out
to
friends
and
family
members
and
just
reached
out
to
people
that
they
know
locally
and
across
the
nation,
and
the
idea
that
mandating
mass
use
is
not
universally
accepted.
There
are
studies
that
can
prove
the
other
way
that
they
are
not
effective.
With
that
said,
I
don't
see
anything
wrong
with
it.
I
want
to
make
it
clear.
I
encourage
people
to
do
everything
they
can
to
be
safe.
N
However,
when
it
comes
to
having
the
government
mandating
behavior,
I
want
to
be
very
cautious
of
that
now
mayor.
I
actually
applaud
you
very
much
for
I
think,
a
very
tempered
approach
with
this,
not
having
the
enforcement
and
such
like
that.
I
applaud
you.
I
thank
you
for
doing
that
for
respecting
everyone's
issues,
but
you
did
also
mention,
like
other
cities,
doing
this
and
something
you
said
about
rapid
city,
where
one
of
their
personal
one
of
their
city
representatives,
said
that
personal
responsibility
has
failed
well.
N
The
interpretation
that
I
saw
with
that
is
your
personal
responsibility
has
failed.
So
now
our
government
autonomy
will
step
in
and
tell
you
what
to
do.
I
think
that's
something
that
you
just
have
to
be
very
careful
with,
and
also
just
because
other
towns
are
doing.
Something
has
never
been
justification
for
me
to
have
watertown
do
something
same
thing
for
just
because
other
states
are
doing.
Something
doesn't
mean
that
south
dakota
should
do
something.
N
I
have
relatives
in
illinois
and
they
have
been
in
complete
lockdown
for
months
and
their
numbers
are
spiking
almost
identical
to
south
dakota's.
So
the
idea
that
the
healthcare
professional
advice
to
mandate
a
requirement
of
masks
is
universal
is
not
true.
With
that
said,
I
will
reiterate
what
councilman
roby
said,
and
I
want
to
encourage
everyone
to
wear
a
mask.
N
A
R
I
think
dr
dan
and
others
have
provided
some
really
good
information,
just
from
kind
of
a
big
picture
standpoint
I
would
just
add
just
to
kind
of
get
a
picture
and
day
of
a
life.
You
know.
Sioux
falls
has
experienced
sanford
enovera
a
huge
spike
huge
just
in
the
past
six
weeks
and
where
early
on
the
sioux
falls,
hospitals
were
taking
on
all
covet
patients
from
the
entire
region,
south
dakota
northwest
iowa
southwest
minnesota
they're.
Now
only
seeing
the
sickest
of
the
sick
and
asking
outlying
hospitals.
R
Thankfully
we
have
prairie
lakes
hospital,
which
is
a
sizeable
hospital,
can
take
a
lot
of
patience
and
can
take
and
accept
critical
care
patients,
but
all
of
these
hospitals
have
their
limits,
but
they're
even
asking
small
community
hospitals.
Please
keep
the
patients
to
the
extent
that
you
can,
because
the
sioux
falls.
Hospitals
are
getting
overrun
with
the
sickest
of
the
sick.
R
We've
also
incorporated
things
like
having
over
200
cobit
patients
on
a
home
monitoring
program
to
monitor
their
oxygen
levels,
their
temp
and
their
other
symptoms
that
they're
having
if
they
are
in
a
high
risk
category
to
make
sure
they
don't
get
worse.
But
to
hopefully
try
to
keep
them
out
of
the
hospital.
R
That
was
something
that
we
didn't
do
before
it's
another
layer
to
put
in
to
hopefully
utilize
the
limited
resources
we
have,
and
also
I
was
going
to
let
you
know
that
we
have
a
data
analytics
group
that
has
been
pretty
spot
on
as
far
as
kind
of
foreseeing
where
the
waves
would
be
hitting
and
peaking
and
coming
down
and
they're,
stating
that
our
current
peak
won't
fully
peak
out
or
start
to
come
down
until
early
to
mid
january.
So
we're
getting
very
close
to
our
limit.
A
A
One
of
the
people
said:
I'm
sending
nurses
who
haven't
had
days
off
to
other
hospitals.
No
reinforcements
are
coming
we're
expected
to
peak
in
mid-january.
I
support
a
mandate
in
one
day
our
medical
center
lost
42
staff.
It's
extremely
alarming.
Another
doctor
said
masks
are
cheap,
simple
and
easy,
no
side
effects.
People
are
irritated,
but
a
mandate
is
a
no-brainer
and
then
another
medical
provider
said
staff
and
providers
need
the
help.
This
is
the
right
spirit.
A
We
don't
know
where
the
pandemic
will
go,
and
I
I
just
to
me
this
does
seem
like
a
no-brainer.
Obviously,
people
have
different
opinions,
but
I
I
feel
so
strongly
that
we
should
stand
behind
the
medical
professionals.
We
have
been
meeting
with
them
for
eight
nine
months
and
they
have
never
gotten
to
the
point
of
saying:
let's
do
a
mandate
that
we
think
that
we
need
one
they've
never
said
that
before,
but
they
have
now
they've
said
it
now.
Things
have
changed,
there's
a
difference.
A
O
Yeah,
just
a
final
comment
in
the
idea
of
this
is
going
to
sound,
really
awful.
So
please,
other
council
members
take
this
in
the
spirit
in
which
it's
been
given
is
that
I
find
it
a
little
difficult
to
say
that
you
respect
and
support
the
medical
community
and,
at
the
same
time
disregard
their
request
for
it
to
be
a
mandate.
So
I
I
have
a
lot
of
respect
for
what
my
other
council
members
feel
and
say.
O
I
I
You
know
what
what
I've
seen
is
across
the
board.
It's
there's
a
50
50..
It's
there's
people
that
believe
it's
the
best
thing
in
the
world.
There's
people
believe
that
yeah
it
helps.
However,
it
does
not
it's
not
the
end.
All
be
all
what
you
end
up
seeing,
and
this
is
a
very
respected
person
that
I
take
his
medical
advice
very
seriously.
He
said
when
people
put
a
mask
on
they,
they
drop
their
guard
down
on
other
items.
I
mean
they
don't
wash
their
hands,
they,
don't
they
don't
stay
distance
apart
from
each
other.
I
They
are
literally
next
to
each
other,
because
I
got
a
mask
on
I'm
going
to
be
safe.
Now,
I'm
not
discounting
that
by
any
stretch
of
the
imagination
that
a
mask
does
help,
but
at
the
same
time
we
got
medical
professionals
that
can't
agree
in
the
same
community.
So
now
I
heard
the
unified
command.
I
sat
on
that.
I
listened
to
that.
I
I
asked
about
mandates
in
other
communities
and
other
parts
of
the
of
the
country
and
their
numbers
are
increasing
at
the
same
same
alarming
rates
and
I'm
not
trying
to
discount
it,
but
we
do
have
places
that
are
mandated
that
are
still
spiking
at
crazy,
crazy
numbers.
So
I
asked:
does
it
work?
Does
it
not
work?
I
mean
it
only
works
that
the
people
are
willing
to
accept
it
and
go
with
it
and
to
to
put
a
mandate
out
there
that
they
can't
they
have
to
wear
a
mask
in
a
car.
I
I
I
think
you
have
a
certain
portion
of
the
population
that
will
wear
a
mask,
no
matter
what
I
think
you'll
have
a
certain
portion
that
will
not
wear
it.
No
matter
what,
if
it's
a
law
or
not
so
we're
trying
to
do
is
get
the
people
in
between.
I
think
if
people
take
the
responsibility
in
their
own
personal
actions
and
they
go
through
and
and
they
they
simply
say,
I'm
gonna,
I'm
gonna,
take
responsibility
for
myself.
I
I
If
they're
not
wearing
it
all
the
time,
it
doesn't
stop
it
I
mean
that's.
The
numbers
are
spiking,
it's
it's.
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
correct
answer
and
I'm
not
begrudging
anyone's
comments
or
anyone's
you
know
thoughts
on
this.
I
I
think
people
should
take
their
own
responsibility,
but
are
we
going
to
have
it
where
we're
going
to
have
people
in
our
community
calling
the
police,
because
we
have
a
mass
mandate
and
such
and
such
is
that
such
and
such
business
and
they're
not
wearing
one?
I
I
don't
want
to
have
that
divide
either
I
mean
we've
had
plenty
of
divide
in
our
country
as
of
late
anyway.
I
just
don't
know
if
there's
a
great
answer
either
way.
I
know
our
medical
professionals
need
help.
I
do
know
that,
but
can
we
mandate
something
and
not
back
it
up
and
not
have
any
enforcement
to
it?
I
don't
know.
Does
that?
Does
that
change,
how
people
react
yeah
you're,
going
to
have
people
that
will
follow
it.
You'll
also
have
people
that
won't
follow
it
simply
because
it's
mandated.
I
So
how
does
that
sit?
It
is
it's
a
very
decisive.
You
know
comment
all
the
way
across
the
us.
No
matter
I
mean
it's
50,
50.
and
there's
people
that
think
it's
the
best
in
the
world.
There's
people
that
are
like
I'm
not
wearing
one,
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
correct
answer
either
way.
Do
I
support
that
we
have
our
people,
you
know,
wear
them.
Yes,
but
if
they're
not
gonna,
if
we
can't
enforce
it,
what
good
does
it
do?
I
mean
we're
passing
something
that
we're
literally
telling
them
there's
no
recourse.
A
I
For
them
should
businesses
be
mandating
at
them?
I
mean.
Is
that
their
responsibility
to
do
that
as
community,
and
we
have
businesses
in
town
that
do
mandate,
I
mean,
and
now
some
of
them
are
national,
but
jason.
Correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong
terrex
requires
the
mass,
do
they
not
so
there
there's
some
businesses
that
have
to
take
that
step
as
well,
and
I
don't
know.
Obviously,
if
we
do
it,
you
know
it's
a
mandate,
but
it's
not.
I
They
could
say
no
we're
not
going
to.
I
mean
it's
a
question
I
have,
and
I
don't
know
if
there's
a
it's,
not
a
it's,
not
a
perfect
situation,
obviously
we're
in
the
middle
of
a
pandemic,
no
matter
how
we
look
at
it
and
it's
you
know.
I
asked
a
gentleman
from
sanford
said
that
there's
antibodies
that
are
available
that
they're
starting
to
put
out
there
and
it
is
starting
to
hopefully
you
know,
knock
on
wood.
I
A
P
Yes,
sorry,
it
took
me
a
second
to
get
off
mute.
I
just
want
to
stick
with
the
science
and
re
reiterate
that
all
serious,
rigorous
scientific
evidence
clearly
states
that
there
is
a
benefit
to
wearing
masks
and
red,
reducing
the
transmission
of
covet
and
community
settings.
The
only
thing
that's
really
up
for
debate
is
the
magnitude
of
that
impact
and
again
what
we're
learning
is
that
seems
to
be
more
dependent
on
the
prevalence
of
covid
in
the
community.
P
They
have
you
know,
they're,
not
a
worlds
ahead
of
where
the
rest
of
the
state
is,
but
out
of
50
states
or
50.
Sorry,
sorry,
66
counties
ranked
in
south
dakota
brookings
was
number
50
way
way
ahead
of
most
of
the
state.
Let's
just
put
it
that
way,
so
I
just
want
to
reiterate
that
the
science
clearly
supports
this
and
that's
it.
A
R
N
Thank
you
mayor
first
off.
I
I
just
want
to
address
a
couple
things
that
some
other
people
have
said.
First
off
mayor,
I
would
respectfully
ask
you
to
rescind
your
comments
regarding
jenkins.
To
specifically
call
out
one
institution
in
this
town
is
not,
I
think,
in
the
best
interest,
and
I
think
it
goes.
I
think
it
goes
down
to
what
some
of
the
concerns
in
the
council
have
been,
which
is
calling
out
people
for
not
doing
their
part
jenkins
has
brought
in
outside
advisors
to
examine
their
process.
They
have.
N
They
were
way
ahead
of
everyone
else
in
instituting
a
mass
mandate
and
shutting
down,
they
have
done
everything
right,
and
yet
they
still
get
it.
It
just
proves
how
bad
a
virus
can
be
and
that
even
if
you're
wearing
masks
their
staff
were
wearing
masks
all
the
time
inside
and
outside
the
job.
So
I
would
please
ask
you
to
rescind
the
comment
on
jenkins
and
just
say
in
general,
which
I
know
I
know
you
weren't,
meaning
to
call
out
jenkins,
but.
A
Thank
you
for
pointing
that
out.
If
you
misinterpreted
what
I
said,
then
others
probably
did
as
well.
So
I
want
to
clarify
what
I
was
saying,
which
is
jenkins,
has
gone
above
and
beyond.
They've
done,
absolutely
everything
possible,
they're,
they're,
really
they
from
day
one.
They
have
been
protecting
their
vulnerable
people
in
every
way,
shape
and
form
possible,
and
it's
not
enough.
A
N
I
didn't
take
it
as
such.
I
just
wanted
to
for
the
public
record,
which
I
knew
that
you
would
I
I
knew
that
you
would
do
that,
because
I
knew
that
that
wasn't
what
you
meant-
and
I
know
that
you're
a
big
supporter
of
jenkins
as
you
are,
of
all
the
nursing
homes.
So
I
just
wanted
to
point
that
out.
Yeah.
N
Yeah
I
appreciate
it.
I
would
also
go
back
to
something
that
my
colleague
councilwoman
manty
has
said
about
just
being
a
little.
I
can't
remember
her
words
specifically
but
incredulous
that
we
would
disregard
the
medical
advice
when
I
spoke
earlier.
I
I
spoke
very
specifically.
I
said
the
medical
experts
in
this
meeting.
N
Like
many
other
people,
I
have
reached
out
to
medical
experts
locally,
statewide
and
nationally.
Many
of
them
are
not
in
agreement
regarding
the
effectiveness
of
a
mask
mandate
and
they
are
not
advocating
for
one.
However,
many
people
especially
locally
are
not
willing
to
come
out
and
say
something
because
they
are
afraid
of.
What
I
will
term
is.
The
new
is,
is
mask
shaming.
If
you're,
not
in
agreement
of
everyone
should
has
to
wear
a
mask,
then
you
are
shamed.
N
That's
not
that's
not
bringing
unity
to
the
community
that
I
would
go
back
to
what
councilman
roby
said.
I'd
rather
bring
us
all
together,
try
to
build
us
up
into
doing
everything
right
rather
than
feed
this
attitude
of
mask,
shaming
and
so,
and
I
know
councilwoman
mandy.
I
know
that
I
I
take
your
advice
or
I
take
your
comments
in
the
spirit
of
which
they
were
given.
N
I'm
just
saying
that
I
have
talked
with
multiple
people,
especially
locally,
who
are
not
in
agreement
necessarily,
but
they
did
not
want
to
come
out
and
say
something.
We
all
know
that
we
we
all
know
that
people
you.
You
yourself
even
said
that
in
your
own
family,
there's
a
disagreement
with
attitude
as
to
effectiveness,
and
I
think
that
that
is
in
the
community
as
well.
So
thank
you.
G
Just
a
mixture
of
things
I
mean
I
get
where
beth
is
coming
from
on
this
councilwoman
manti,
because
if
we
disregard
what
the
three
say
here,
then
yes
we're
disregarding
what
they
said
by
saying:
no,
that's
not
a
ding
on
anyone,
you're
entitled
to
feel
what
you
want
to
feel.
The
next
thing
I'll
say
on
this.
G
Two
we
rationed
we
and
and
that's
how
we
almost
have
to
view
this-
is
that
we're
backing
up
the
people
on
the
front
line
right
now.
I'm
not
gonna
send
our
doctors
into
their
job
where
they're
gonna
face
this
thing
with
one
round,
I'm
gonna
give
them
a
magazine
of
options
so
that
they
can
do
the
best
possible
work
they
can
and
if
us
supporting
them
is
passing
this
with
their
recommendation,
which
they
are
recommending
that
we
say
required,
and
we
take
it
to
this
level
and
yeah.
G
You
know,
honestly,
that's
semantics,
we're
splitting
hairs
at
this
point.
I
just
I
don't
see
the
damage
passing
it,
as
is,
I
think,
we're
doing
the
best
we
can
with
what
we
got,
and
this
is
a
moderate
approach.
This
is
not
extreme,
we
don't
have
teeth
to
it.
This
is
this
is
a
plea.
This
is
a
plea
to
do
the
right
thing.
Early
on
councilman
albertson
asked
that
you
know
we
put
teeth
to
it,
we're
not
even
taking
it
that
far.
This
is
the
first
step.
G
G
Our
elementary
schools
are
almost
doing
a
better
job
than
some
of
us
are
so
many
of
those
kids
wear
their
masks
just
because
it
gets
them
the
option
where
they
won't
have
to
quarantine
as
long
if
there's
an
exposure
of
something
but
still
they're
doing
more
than
we
are
in
some
ways,
and
I
just
feel
like
we
can
support
the
people
around
us
and
our
medical
professionals
here
in
our
community,
our
community
and
do
the
best
we
can
for
them.
I
don't
love
it,
I
don't
love
wearing
it,
but
it's
a
small
inconvenience.

Madame
this
is
councilman
roby
go
ahead,
councilman
narobi,
I'd
like
to
make
a
motion.
We
approve
that
resolution
taking
out
the
words
required
in
mandate,
and
I
would
also
recommend
that
we
establish
a
committee
if
you
will
of
people
that
are
going
to
represent
the
city,
the
council
and
the
mayor
and
trying
to
promote,
mask
wearing
and
trying
and
get
that
rate
of
mass
wearing
to
go
higher.

Thank
you
mayor.
I
I,
I
think,
that's
a
great
idea,
the
same
thought
of
putting
together
some
sort
of
a
committee,
a
group
that
could
look
at
ways
that
we
can
better
communicate
or
increase
our
efforts
anyway,
to
communicate
the
importance
of
some
of
these
things.
I
agree
with
that
and
I
would
offer
to
volunteer
to
be
a
part
of
that.

I'm
looking
for
the
word
mandate,
I
know
that's
in
here.
Okay,
so
just
take
the
word
out,
but
leave
everything
around
it.
So
if
we
take
those
words
out,
it
says
declare
that
all
people
in
watertown
who
are
able
to
wear
a
mask
are
to
wear
one,
and
then
this
will
take
effect
immediately.
Instead
of
this
mandate,.
