A
All

the
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
approval
of
the
consent.
Agenda,

chambers.
So

aye.
A
A
A
Carries
thank
you
item.
7
is
the
regular
agenda
and
item
a
is
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
20-22
providing
for
the
City
Council's
ability
to
periodically
designate
additional
permissible
fireworks
discharge
locations
and
to
update
the
ordinance
for
consistency
with
recent
state
law.
Revisions
and
I'll
entertain
a
motion
on
that
of
a
motion
by
Colleen
second
by
Roby
and
I'll.
Ask
the
city
attorney
Matt
Roby
to
introduce
this.
Please.
E
Thank
you
ma'am,
as
the
title
explains.
What
you
have
in
front
of
you
here
is
the
second
reading
of
an
ordinance
that
would
amend
the
to
fireworks
ordinances
of
ours.
The
primary
driver
for
this
ordinance
change,
as
you'll
recall,
was
the
recommendation
from
the
park
board
that
we
allow
for
an
alternative
location
or
locations
to
for
the
public
to
discharge
fireworks
on
the
fourth
of
July
and
so
you'll
notice.
In
the
second
paragraph,
there
were
provided
at
other
locations
to
be
designated
periodically
by
resolution
of
the
City
Council.
A
Okay,
thank
you
Matt,
and
this
will
persist
throughout
time.
If
and
every
year
we
can
choose
to
designate
another
location
by
resolution.
If
we
want,
we
aren't
required
to
it's
not
set
by
ordinance
where
it
will
be.
Can
change
that
with
the
resolution
that
follows.
Are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
council,
councilman
Villar.
F
A
A
E
Yes,
thank
you,
Mary.
This
resolution
will
designate
that
the
general
public
can
shoot
fireworks
from
Anza
Soccer
Complex
this
year.
It
only
pertains
to
this
year
and
as
drafted.
Currently
it
only
pertains
to
this
year
and
the
time
frame,
I
included.
You
know
we
didn't
get
a
definitive
answer.
The
last
time
this
was
discussed
so
I.
The
proposed
time
frame,
I
included,
was
noon
to
11:59
p.m.
this
year
on
the
4th
of
July.
That
would
be
consistent
with
the
ordinance
that
was
just
approved
and
I
get.
A
Yes,
okay,
thank
you,
and
so
this
effectively
takes
the
place
of
city
park,
which
the
park
department
manages
and
they've
decided
that
we
will
not
be
having
fireworks
there
as
we
have
in
the
past.
But
this
is
an
alternate
location.
It's
another
area
also
managed
by
the
parks,
recreation
and
forestry
department.
So
are
there
any
questions
or
comments
from
the
council
Kozma
bill,
Hauer.
F
F
I
guess
if
I
got
the
floor,
then
I'll
throw
a
question
out:
I'm,
not
I'm,
okay
with
it
just
one.
Just
one
comment,
though
I
believe
the
Park
and
Rec
board
suggest
at
a
time
of
what
7:00
to
midnight
that
evening
and
we're
going
from
noon
to
midnight.
Bruce
you
you
I
know
you
were
a
part
of
that
meeting.
You
want
to
come.
B
In
or
I
will
chime
in
a
little
bit
we
did
that
was
we
made
that
decision
I,
probably
a
little
in
haste
at
that
meeting
and
then
and
then
I
think
in
our
last
discussion
we
had
and
I
thought
we
should
open
that
up
more.
You
know,
because
a
lot
of
young
folks
that
probably
aren't
going
to
be
out
there
at
after
seven
o'clock
give
them
an
opportunity.
The
only
one
concern
that
I
might
have
because
of
the
12
12
p.m.
to
11:59
is
because
of
the
police
or
anybody
who's
got
to
oversee.
B
H
Have
a
comment
I
think:
perhaps
we
should
work
with
some
of
the
retailers
selling
the
fireworks
to
have
a
sign
up
or
something
to
alert
the
people
from
out
of
town
that
come
to
buy
fireworks,
who
are
assuming
that
they
might
be
able
to
go
to
City
Park
and
telling
them
of
the
alternate
location,
maybe
even
showing
them
how
to
get
there.
That's.
A
B
A
We
should-
and
we
should
do
some
public
announcements
about
it
in
advance
and
a
few
days
prior
at
the
campground,
so
that
people
who've
come
from
out
of
town
in
our
camping
with
that
anticipation.
Aren't
surprised
by
that
terry
Kelly's,
the
park
director.
Do
you
want
to
make
a
comment
on
that
Terry
yeah.
B
I
just
follow
up.
We
are
working
on
our
plan
for
signage
notifications.
Campers
will
be
handed
of
fliers,
you
know
when
they
do
log
in,
in
addition
to
boat
ramp
entrance
and
we'll
have
large
signage,
letting
them
know
that
the
discharges
not
allowed
so
that
isn't
it
works
currently.
But
then
our
staff.
F
Really,
if
the
resolution
was
longer
talking,
fireworks
I'll
throw
this
out
TK
I
reached
out
to
you
I'm,
not
sure.
If
you
did
dammit
I
know,
I
got
at
least
one
email
from
a
citizen
that
lives
out
by
Jackson
Park
a
medium
to
the
west
of
Jackson
Park
concerned
about
the
nearness
now
and
the
increased
activities
fireworks.
You
know,
requesting
some
kind
of
buffer
potentially-
and
you
said
you're
gonna
reach
out
to
your
staff
to
consider
that
a
little
more
protection
for
some
of
the
homeowners
out
there
immediately
the
West.
B
Correct
we
were
working
with
our
parks
division.
Now
we
don't
probably
have
quite
enough
snow
offense,
so
we'll
probably
get
with
Rob,
possibly
that's
a
street
department,
but
we
do
plan
on
putting
a
barrier
on
the
the
west
side
of
the
entrance
on
the
upper
side
of
Jackson.
What
should
be
right
across
from
the
golf
course
shop?
If
that
people
can
kind
of
picture
where
that
location
is
okay,.
A
I
If
everything
is
approved
after
this
to
just
kind
of
share
with
them,
how
I
think
we
can
do
this?
Do
it
safely?
Do
it?
You
know
organized
fashion,
so
we
don't
have
just
people
running
around
all
over
I'm
planning
on
you
know
supplying
a
staff
member
of
mine
to
kind
of
help
organize
some
of
the
different
things
from
everything
from
a
shooting
station.
I
So
my
plan
would
be
to
get
have
a
different
plywood
stations
spread
out
appropriately
throughout
the
field
and
then
have
a
tighter
have
some
water
for
fire.
Extinguishing
and
and
I
may
ask
the
request
of
you
know
having
the
fire
department.
Maybe
you
have
a
brush
truck
they're
kind
of
like
what
they
do
with
Oliver.
Our
bigger
show
is
just
something
on-site
in
case
there
would
ever
be
something
that
we
would
be
unaware
of,
but
I
think
I
think
we
have
a
good
plan.
I
think
we
can
do
this
safely.
I
We've
got
the
space
my
best
and
I
haven't
had
chances
to
speak
with
Lee,
but
I.
Just
know
some
of
the
frustration
the
City
Police
Department
does
have
on
the
4th
of
July,
where
people
are
shooting
in
areas
where
they
shouldn't
and
we
have
never
been
a
proponent
of
that
or
ever
said
that
that's
allowed
as
people
come
into
our
stores,
but
I
know
it
happens.
So
my
desire,
especially
this
year
being
City
Park,
was
removed.
As
a
you
know,
a
viable
place
to
shoot.
I
think
this
is
a
year.
I
I
But
if
there's
a
there's
a
badge
out
there,
people
seem
to
pay
attention
to
that
so
I'm,
just
hoping
that
maybe
we
can
get
a
little
bit
of
a
you
know,
backup
and
maybe
some
assistance
from
the
police
department
on
that,
but
I
think
I.
Think
it's
a
good
plan.
I
think
it'll,
work
and
I
guess
I
put
that
before
you
and
if
you
haven't
had
a
chance
to
see
what
I
just
got
into
the
five
members
this
morning
that
I
just
mentioned
earlier.
I
But
if
you
haven't
got
a
chance
to
see
it,
I
can
send
it
to
the
the
whole
city
Council
board
there,
where
you
can
take
a
look
at
what
they
already
have
and
and
I'm
open
for
suggestions.
If
you
see
something
on
there,
you
think
we're
missing,
but
I'm
I'm
all
ears,
because
we
want
to
do
something
good
for
the
community
good
as
far
as
Public,
Safety
and
I
just
think,
I
think
it
would
be
a
workable
thing.
So
great.
A
Well,
we
really
greatly
appreciate
your
advice,
mr.
rider
shot,
so
thank
you
for
all
of
that.
Input
and
I
will
forward
your
message
around
to
the
rest
of
the
council
so
that
they
can
have
a
look
at
it
and
I
know
that
our
fire
marshal
has
been
working
through
this
every
step
of
the
way
to
to
make
this
a
safe
alternative
for
our
community
and
safety
was
the
reason
that
we
stopped
allowing
it
at
City
Park,
and
so
we
want
this.
A
F
I
Glen,
thank
you
for
the
question
yeah.
My
thought
would
be
it
I'm
going
to
take
you
guys
back
especially
I,
know
Don,
and
some
of
you
that
have
been
Watertown
residents
forever
years
ago.
When
we
used
to
do
the
water
town
show
out
of
the
stadium.
There
were
times
that
Dave
hose
would
always
line
up
some
of
the
people
that
were
maybe
in
the
detention
center.
That
would
help
us
kind
of
set
to
show
up
and
do
some
of
the
cleanup.
I
Let
me
tell
you
what
my
thoughts
are
right
now,
I
mean
if
that
would
be
an
option.
There
might
be
some
that
they
would
like
to
allow
the
opportunity
to
do
that.
This
is
on
July
6
now
them
which
would
be
a
Monday
morning,
but
I
also
I'm
a
president
of
the
Watertown
Christian
school
board
as
well
and
I've
already
talked
to
my
board,
and
we
have
members
and
students
that
we
can
canvass
that
area.
So
what
we
would
do
is
basically
take
line
up.
I
People
have
a
bag
and
we
would
sweep
that
area
and
just
make
sure
there's
no
evidence
of
any
fireworks
there
or
anything
that
would
cause
any
problem
for
any
of
the
soccer
association.
So
the
day
we
had
to
show
out
there
probably
been
a
month
ago
now
that
was
also
something
I
required
of
all
my
staff.
I
said:
if
they're
going
to
give
us
the
opportunity
to
do
this,
we
want
to
do
it
well
and
we
want
to
leave
this
place
cleaner
than
when
we
got
here
and
I.
I
Think
if
you
talk
to
Matt
or
some
of
those
that
actually
worked,
that
field
I
think
they
would
tell
you
that
there
is
no
evidence
of
that.
We
even
cleaned
the
parking
lots
up
after
you
know
and
I,
don't
know
if
it
was
garbage
left
there
from
before
or
when,
but
we
canvassed
that
area
and
we
made
sure
it
was
clean
and
so
Glen.
That
would
be
my
my
plan
going
forward
to
that.
We'll
walk
that
field,
we'll
scour
it
and
make
sure
there's
nothing
in
there.
So
thanks.
J
I
Yes,
that's,
correct,
okay,
and
so,
if
that
would
be
the
case,
dan
I
think
my
thought
would
be
that
we
would
always
pull
something
back
far
enough
in
from
the
outside
perimeter,
just
to
make
sure
that
we
didn't
have
things
going
in
an
area
where
there
might
be
some
concern.
I
know
we
have
a
little
trick
to
the
east
and
then
we've
got
the
detention
ponds
and
some
you
know
some
water
to
the
west
of
us
by
the
softball
complex.
But
it
is
something
we
would.
I
A
B
It
would
take
a
council
action
to
do
that,
but
we
would
make
our
recommendation
to
at
that
time
if
it
holds
the
threat
of
high
winds
and
dry
conditions,
and
we
we
go
out.
The
state
website
like
Dan,
was
referring
to
the
grasslands,
so
we
would,
we
would
cover
it
that
way,
and-
and
you
know
we
I
mean
we
do-
have
the
ability
to
pull
fireworks
permits
if
the
conditions
are
bad,
but
this
is
not
permitted
event.
It's
it's
a
citywide
event
right.
A
F
Wanna
I
just
want
to
emphasize
what
chip
just
said,
because
you
know
Dan
Rider
shots
been
involved
in
this
I
really
appreciate
his
help,
but
just
to
make
sure
the
public
is
not
confused.
This
is
no
sort
of
commercial
display.
This
is
strictly
you
know,
citizens
on
their
own,
doing
a
display,
so
just
make
sure
there's
no
confused
out
there
because
of
Dan's
involvement
there.
There
is
no
commercial
display
in
the
works.
Thank.
E
A
B
I
Year
we
did
updated
all
those
state
statutes
out
in
peer
and
I
kind
of
spent
some
time
actually
with
our
State
Fire
Marshal
and
we've
reviewed
every
law.
That's
on
the
books
right
now
in
the
state
of
South
Dakota
and
just
in
reference
to
what
you're
saying
about
if
it
would
be
dry
and
Dan's
question
to
there
is
actually
and
chip
kind
of
was
speaking
to
this
as
well.
I
There
is
a
statute
in
our
state
law
that
says
if
the
fire
land,
if
the
rangeland
fighter
index
reaches
extreme
category
during
a
certain
time
frame,
that's
a
approximately
I
think
the
20th
of
June
to
the
2nd
of
July.
If
it
does
happen
where
it's
there,
two
days
in
a
row
that
you
know
they
can
restrict
the
use
of
fireworks,
so
there
is
already
a
trigger
in
your
state
law
that
would
kind
of
probably
complement
what
you
know.
Your
concern
might
be
there
if
that
ever
got
to
that
point.
So,
okay,.
A
A
Motion
carries
thank
you
item.
C
is
approval
of
the
flag
policy
for
City
Hall.
At
the
last
council
meeting,
there
was
a
request
to
fly
a
flag
in
front
of
City
Hall
to
commemorate
an
event
and
I
discussed
it
with
several
of
the
council
members,
and
we
all
agreed
that
it
would
be
good
to
have
policy
in
place
before
we
respond
to
that
request,
so
that
the
city
has
a
foundation
for
consistently
judging
requests.
A
So
I
researched
the
topic
and
developed
a
policy
that
seemed
reasonable
to
me
and
I
sent
it
to
all
the
councilmembers
and
it
is
attached
to
the
agenda
packet
and
many
cities
have
similar
policies.
This
policy
states
that
the
flags
may
be
displayed
in
conjunction
with
official
actions,
ceremonial
items,
proclamations
of
the
mayor
and
city
council
or
community
events
and
the
mayor
will
decide.
The
policy
also
states
that
the
city
will
not
display
flags
of
commercial,
religious
or
political
organizations
or
those
supporting
discrimination,
prejudice
or
religious
movements.
A
So
after
I
sent
that
out,
a
second
draft
was
proposed,
saying
that
only
government
flags
should
be
flown
on
the
city,
hall,
Pole
and
I.
Think
Pio
wmia
flag
could
also
be
flown,
but
those
are
the
only
ones
and
the
reasons
for
not
flying
other
flags
are
the
flown
flag
might
cause
a
political
debate.
We
will
eventually
say
no
and
then
we'll
be
challenged
on
fairness.
A
There
are
other
opportunities
for
organizations
to
fly
a
flag,
and
this
is
a
time
of
turmoil
in
our
nation
and
thus
maybe
not
a
good
time
to
take
an
action
that
might
be
controversial.
So
City
Hall
is
the
people's
house.
All
citizens
are
welcome
here,
and
flags
are
a
celebrity
or
a
celebratory
tool
that
we
have
for
our
nation,
our
state
for
our
city
and
also
for
individuals.
The
elected
officials
should
do
the
right
thing,
and
each
of
us
must
decide
for
ourselves
what
that
is.
A
A
A
My
conscience
says
that
the
policy
allowing
but
limiting
flags
is
the
one
we
should
adopt,
but
I
will
honor
the
collective
vote
of
the
City
Council,
whatever
that
may
be,
and
now
the
person
who
made
the
request
is
here
and
it's
mr.
Brett
Reese
I'm,
going
to
invite
him
to
speak
and
I
I
think
we
don't
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
So
it's
it's
not
the
time
for
debate
yet,
but
if,
if
you
would
like
to
present
your
request
again,
so
it's
fresh
I
think
that
would
be
a
good
idea.
K
With
all
of
you
again,
I
know,
there
are
concerns,
as
the
mayor
pointed
out,
about
the
flag
policy
that
she
has
introduced.
I
think
those
concerns
are
understandable,
but
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
about
why
I
think
they
should
not
guide
your
decision
today,
because
I
think
they're
I'm,
founded
in
the
reality
of
the
decision
you're
being
asked
to
make
today.
K
As
the
mayor
stated,
it
excludes
commercial,
religious
and
political
organizations
and
states
that
also
you
can
only
one
flag
raised
per
calendar
year
per
person.
Our
organization,
and
so
both
of
these
parts
will
significantly
limit
the
number
of
requests
if
there
even
are
a
high
number
of
requests
to
begin
with.
The
second
is
a
concern
for
making
difficult
decisions
about
which
flag
should
be
flown.
K
Finally,
the
mayor's
policy
would
put
the
decision
in
the
mayor's
hands,
not
the
City
Council's
hands,
so
you
guys
wouldn't
even
have
to
make
a
difficult
decision.
Nor
would
you
be
responsible
for
any
decision
that
the
mayor
makes
the
mayor
would
be,
and-
and
she
has
shown
a
willingness
to
take
on
that
responsibility,
and
so
for
any
of
these
four
reasons
like
I,
urge
the
City
Council
not
to
vote
down
this
policy
because
of
a
fear
of
difficult
decisions,
and
the
final
concern
obviously
is
one
of
community
backlash.
K
I
know:
I'm,
not
I,
know
that
I'm
asking
you
to
do
something
that
not
everyone
in
this
community
will
support,
but
you've
had
to
make
decisions
like
that
before
and
I
strongly
urge
each
of
you
not
to
base
your
decision
on
a
fear
of
vocal
opposition
for
the
pride
flag,
specifically,
which
is
what
I
requested.
This
would
be
a
significant
learning
opportunity
for
the
community.
K
That
group
consists
of
young
adults
and
adults
in
our
community
who
are
frequently
harassed
bullied
or
afraid
to
be
who
they
are
because
they
feel
like
they
live
in
a
community
that
does
not
support
them.
Obviously,
a
flag
will
not
solve
everything,
but
it
will
at
least
be
a
step
in
a
positive
direction
toward
the
City
Council
standing
against
discrimination
and
violence.
You
are
all
leaders,
and
there
are
people
in
the
community
looking
to
you
right
now
to
give
them
some
sort
of
sign
and
I
know.
K
K
Rejecting
the
policy
will
strip
the
City
Council
of
a
chance
to
put
their
money
where
their
mouth
is
when
they
say
they
oppose
discrimination
and
violence.
You've
seen
the
kind
of
publicity
South
Dakota
receives
when
it
targets
the
LGBTQ
community,
don't
be
the
City
Council
that
refuses
to
do
something
as
simple
as
raising
a
pride
flag
for
a
day
condemning
violence
against
our
community.
Last
summer,
when
I
was
in
DC,
I
helped
write
a
resolution
that
commemorated
the
50th
anniversary
of
the
Stonewall
uprising
and,
at
the
end
it
condemned
violence
and
discrimination
against
our
community.
K
That
resolution
passed
both
houses
of
Congress
unanimously.
Every
politician
in
Washington
agreed
that
it's
time
to
stand
against
discrimination
and
violence
in
our
country
so
be
a
part
of
the
progress.
Don't
stand
in
its
way
and
please
do
not
take
this
decision
lightly,
because
you
have
a
real
chance
to
make
a
real
impact
right
now
and
all
it
entails
is
to
let
a
flag
be
raised
for
one
day.
Thank
you.
L
E
Yeah
this
this
alternative
that
was
put
together
by
a
few
council
members.
This
would
say
only
the
city
may
place
or
fly
a
flag
on
city,
flag,
pulls
flag,
stands
or
city
owned
properties.
This
property,
the
city,
shall
only
fly
flags
or
governmental
agencies,
recognized
by
the
United
States
and
located
within
the
United
States,
including,
but
not
limited
to
the
flag
of
the
United
States,
the
flag
of
the
state
of
South
Dakota
and
any
official
flag
of
the
city
of
Watertown.
G
L
A
L
Just
go
first,
Bret.
First
of
all,
thank
you
for
being
here
respect
what
you're
doing
Tuesday
we
had
our
monthly
meeting
with
the
mayor,
Josh,
Dan
and
I
did,
which
we
do
once
a
month,
and
the
first
thing
I
said
is
we
have
to
have
a
policy
on
this
because
granted
we
haven't
had
a
lot
of
requests
for
things
like
this,
but
when
you
establish
something
you
then
created
environment,
says
hey
I'd
like
to
do
that
too.
L
L
The
question
with
the
flags
really
is:
is
that
the
right
place
to
be
putting
up
whatever
type
of
flag
you'd
want
to
do,
and
my
personal
opinion
is
this:
regardless
of
what
organization
made
this
request,
if
it
was
a
local
service
organization,
even
the
one
I'm
a
member
of
if
they
made
this
request.
My
response
is
the
same
because
really
what
it's
about
it's
about
the
precedence
and
what
we
do
with
our
local
flagpole
and
Bret.
You
made
some
good
points
and
I
would
agree
with
a
lot
of
the
points
you
made.
L
One
of
them
is,
though,
the
fear
to
make
a
tough
decision.
I,
don't
think,
there's
a
fear
to
make
a
tough
decision
here,
but
the
same
time
you're
asking
us
to
absolve
ourselves
and
future
decisions
and
putting
it
on
the
mayor's
case
and
I.
Don't
want
to
do
that.
So
I
think
the
point
I'm
going
to
make
here
is
a
very
respectfully
organization,
I
respect
what
you're
doing
I
think
there's
some
things
we
can
do
to
support
your
organization
locally.
I,
just
don't
think
a
flagpole
is
where
that
belongs.
L
I
think
that
the
potential
for
requests
that
we
will
get
in
the
future
are
going
to
be
putting
us
in
a
position
of,
quite
frankly
having
to
say
who
gets
to
go
on
there.
Who
doesn't.
We
do
have
to
make
those
tough
decisions,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
don't
belong
on
our
organization.
Don't
belong
on
that
flagpole,
but
then
again
it
becomes
a
matter
of
opinion
so
that
that's
just
my
opinion
very
respectful.
What
you're
doing
I
would
support
this.
A
Thank
you
and,
and
I
will
say
a
policy
I
didn't
have
to
ask
the
council,
for
this.
I
could
have
just
said
yes
and
the
if
I'm,
not
reelect
'add.
The
next
mayor
can
say
this
and
I
didn't
have
my
policy.
The
next
mayor
can
have
a
different
policy
or
we
can
change
tomorrow.
Our
policy
there
there's
nothing
saying
that
if
this
becomes
overwhelming
or
or
just
uncomfortable
for
us
that
we
can't
change
it.
F
F
What
I
would
like
to
do
is
I
would
like
to
propose
it.
I,
don't
know
if
we've
ever
done,
I
like
proposed
that
we
put
together
a
group
that
has
a
chance
to
hear
these
concerns.
You
know
citizens
groups
that
that
are
involved
a
delegate,
a
representation
from
this
body
staff
pickable
staff
in
the
community.
F
Let's
sit
down
and
just
find
out
what
is
going
on
here
in
the
community,
because
there
is
no
place
for
for
discrimination
or
prejudice
within
Watertown
that
that
pains
me
to
hear
that
so
I'd
like
to
make
that
suggestion
that
we
consider
doing
that
in
the
very
near
future,
but
I
by
the
same
token,
I
do
support
polls
that
we've
got
on
the
floor
right
now.
Considering
the
flag
policy,
all.
C
C
During
my
time
of
military
service,
I've
been
a
theater
major,
where
I've
had
friends
that
grew
up
in
South
Dakota
and
you
sit
down
with
them
in
a
hallway
as
they're
breaking
down,
because
they're
so
afraid
to
just
come
out
to
their
parents
and
be
themselves
they're
afraid
of
that
rejection
and
that
their
family
won't
be
there
for
them.
I've
seen
cases
where
they
don't
end
up
being
there
for
him
in
high
school
I,
just
feed
her
I
did
oral
and
Terk
I.
C
Remember
being
for
me,
my
experience
is
straight
male
walking
down
the
street
and
having
teenagers
lean
out
a
car
and
yell
your
name
and
then
stick
an
expletive
to
it.
Just
because
of
the
things
you
decided
to
stand
up
and
do
for
enjoyment,
whether
that
be
the
arts
or
what
have
you
I've
sat
for
days
now
kind
of
thinking
about
this,
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
discussion
on
it
and
I
see
where
the
council
is
coming
from.
I
understand
wanting
to
stay
apolitical
and
stick
with
government.
J
I
appreciate
you
coming
here
also
in
making
this
request.
I've
had
a
little
conversation
with
others
about
this,
and
at
that
point
in
time
we
didn't
have
a
policy,
and
today
I
really
was
torn
still
AM
torn
as
to
what
the
right
thing
is.
I
do
like
the
idea
that
Glen
is
saying
that
let's
get
some
people
together
and
make
sure
that
we're
doing
the
right
thing,
I'm,
not
real
crazy,
about
sending
this
off.
J
Just
to
the
mayor
and
saying
you
know
you
get
to
make
these
decisions,
I
don't
know
if
we'll
have
very
many
ever,
and
so
it
would
be
easy
just
to
say.
Yes,
it's
easy
to
say
no,
but
at
this
point
in
time
I
think
maybe
I
would
vote
YES
on
this,
and
hopefully
the
committee
that
Glen
was
talking
about,
will
get
organized
very
quickly
to
deal
with
this
and
because
it
has
come
up
kind
of
quickly
and
so
I
guess
that's
where
I'm
coming
from,
but
I
appreciate
you
coming
here
today.
Brett.
D
Let
me
get
up
here:
okay,
a
couple
things
I'd
like
to
echo
a
lot
of
what
Michael
said
and
I
have
a
niece
that
just
recently
came
out
that
it
was
a
really
difficult
situation
for
her
and
not
for
our
family.
We
were
very
accepting
of
it,
but
I
understand
what
he's
saying
about
the
difficult
situation.
What
I
would
just
like
to
talk
or
just
throw
out
there
a
little
bit
is
one
situation.
I
heard
about
or
concerned
about
is
a
change
in
leadership.
D
Would
this
idea
of
the
committee
which
I
didn't
think
about,
but
I
had
always
hoped
that
Watertown
would
be
a
community
that
did
embrace
inclusion
and
all
those
kind
of
things,
and
it
does
hurt
my
feelings,
not
me
personally
feelings.
It
hurts
me
on
behalf
of
the
city
that
you
had
Bret
had
to
go
through
some
of
the
things
he
had
to
go
through,
but
do
we
want
to
be
a
city
that
embraces
so
much
more
than
just
putting
a
flag
up?
D
Do
we
want
to
be
the
city
that
says
you
know
we
can
do
so
much
more
for
you.
We
can
support
you
in
this.
We
can
give
you
a
proclamation
and
I'm
I'm
speaking
on
all
organizations
that
may
request
us
to
put
up
a
flag.
Can
we
demonstrate
actively
through
policy
and
practice
that
we
are
not
a
city
that
you
know
supports
any
type
of
discrimination
and
again,
like
Don,
said
this
is
not
a
matter
of
fear
of
putting
something
on
a
flagpole.
D
You
know
supporting
the
marches
and
the
candlelight
vigils
offering
demonstrating
the
community's
willingness
to
do
this
all
within
you
know,
I
believe
that
there's
so
much
more,
we
can
do
for
every
organization
than
simply
a
flag
and
and
if
we
limited
the
the
no
to
simply
the
flagpole
at
City,
Hall
I
really
believe
that
there's
there's
a
lot
more.
That
I
would
like
to
see
than
simply
saying:
oh
yeah,
we
hung
a
flag
and
now
we're
good
that
to
me
doesn't
say
anything
that
says:
oh
yeah
we're
gonna
we're
gonna.
D
D
Let's
look
at
everything
we
can
do
to
support
an
organization
and,
and
act
like
we
are
a
community
that
does
support
everybody
and
and
our
policies
and
practices
and
those
kinds
of
things
will
really
demonstrate
that
a
lot
every
day
on
a
day
to
day
basis-
and
so
you
know,
I-
would
like
the
flexibility
to
be
able
to
put
a
flag
other
places,
perhaps
not
just
at
City
Hall.
So
I
just
wanted
to
share
some
of
those
things
of
practice,
of
putting
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
D
I
think
there
are
places
that
we
can
find
to
hang
the
flag
that
that
are
super
appropriate
and
super
important
and
so
I.
Just
I
just
want
to
throw
those
ideas
out
there
do
we
do
we
just
want
to
hang
a
flag
or
do
we
want
to
actually
take
activity,
active
action
to
demonstrate
who
we
are
as
a
city
and
who
we
are
as
a
as
a
political
body
in
terms
of
what
we
do
for
an
organization
or
community
and
I.
A
Thank
You,
Councilwoman,
Mantee
and
I
I
would
just
respond
to
that
and
we
we
don't
have
a
policy
I'm
surprised,
actually
kind
of
shocked
at
the
reaction.
I
didn't
expect
it
I'm
surprised,
but
I
everybody
has
to
act
upon
their
own
conscience
and
it
doesn't
preclude
us
at
all
from
doing
any
of
the
other
stuff.
If
we
allow
flags
limited
to
the
things
that
we
limited
doesn't
prevent
us
from
doing
any
of
that.
A
councilman
Hoyer
has
his
hand
up,
go
ahead.
Councilman
Hoyer,
I.
C
Do
Thank
You
mayor
I
just
want
to
touch
on
to
comment
just
a
flag
Brent.
You
can
correct
me
on
this.
I
can't
speak
for
a
whole
group
of
people,
but
just
the
way
that
we
view
the
American
flag
and
what
it
means
to
us.
It's
not
just
a
flag
to
us.
I
mean
you
wonder
why
better
ins
get
a
little
offended
when
people-
and
this
is
an
all
veterans,
but
some
people
get
offended
when
folks
kneel
at
the
flag
because
it
represents
so
much
more
than
just
being
a
flag.
C
It
represents
their
friend
who
fell
for
the
freedom
that
we
enjoy.
It
represents
our
history.
It
represents
a
whole
group
of
people,
and
so
when
we
raise
that
flag,
it's
out
of
pride
and
respect
for
those
people
so
by
us
sitting
here
and
doing
that.
This
is
just
a
flag
and
this
flagpole-
and
this
is
just
what
we're
doing
that.
That's
not
in
a
way
to
me.
C
I
view
it
as
this
is
us
displaying
respect
and
honor
for
those
that
have
fought
for
equality,
representation
and
acceptance
in
our
country,
because
there's
many
people
that
have
had
to
fight
a
massive
long
fight,
just
to
be
recognized
and
understood,
and
by
us
minimizing
that
in
a
way
to
just
a
flag
and
like
there's
other
appropriate
ways
to
do
this,
I
mean
what
more
of
an
appropriate
place.
Yes,
there
are
so
many
more
things
that
we
can
do,
but
this
is
such
a
simple
thing
for
one
day
to
acknowledge:
to
see
to
I,
don't.
I
C
Just
honor
those
that
fight
that
fight
I
would
still
say
on
top
of
it,
that
we
should
do
so
much
more
I
mean
heck
for
the
candlelight
march
on
Friday,
like
I,
think
it'd
be
beautiful.
If
you
know
go
ahead
and
use
the
flagpole
on
Main
Street
on
camp,
that's
fine
with
me,
I
mean
we
do
it
for
Memorial
Day.
We
do
it
for
4th
of
July
I,
don't
have
any
issue
with
that
person
can
I.
Also
know
this
is
a
highly
nonviolent
group
of
Americans
and
it's
not
representing
a
political
view.
L
C
Tar
and
just
raising
awareness
that
this
is
still
a
fight
that
we
fight
the
United
States
on
the
coast,
not
as
much
of
an
issue
but
in
the
Midwest
we're
still
catching
up,
and
we
got
a
long
ways
to
go
when
it
comes
to
putting
up
different
causes
in
a
city
square
like
I
love.
The
idea
of
that
the
new
city
part
can
maybe
do
this
a
little
bit.
You
go
down
to
Kansas
City.
Those
are
video
and
fountains
and
there's
one
specifically
in
the
main
area
that
they
changed.
C
B
C
This
isn't
religious.
This
isn't
anything
like
that.
It's
it's
acknowledgement
of
a
group
of
people
honoring
what
they've
gone
through
and
what
they
fought
for
to
get
where
they
are
today
and
we're
still
a
battleground
state
for
basic
human
rights
in
some
areas.
You
know,
I'm
ashamed,
every
time
that
something
comes
up,
trying
to
redefine
marriage
again,
that
was
already
a
Supreme
Court
case.
This
is
still
really
fresh
in
this
state
and
I.
Just
it's
hard
for
me
not
to
say
we
should
stand
in
solidarity.
C
C
B
C
It's
not
something
that
gets
talked
about,
because
people
love
to
just
sweep
things
under
the
rug
and
not
face
them
head-on.
We
like
to
not
acknowledge
that
racism
still
a
problem
in
our
State
they've,
been
prejudiced
in
general
towards
people
that
maybe
don't
believe
things
exactly
the
way
we
do
but
yeah
I
guess
that's
that's
pretty
much.
What
I
have
to
say
about
it.
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
in
there,
though,
that
the
breath
is
probably
isn't
just
a
flag
just
like
how
the
US
flag
isn't
just
a
flag
to
me.
Don't
okay!
L
This
was
insinuated
here,
but
if
you
listen
to
the
conversation,
it
sounds
like
that,
if
somebody
votes
for
the
policy
life
that
I'm
recommended
that
were
somehow
anti
something
that's
not
the
case,
and
when
these
discussions
get
on,
it
sometimes
gets
interpreted
that
way.
That
is
not
the
case
here.
I
think
we
have
a
very
clear
decision,
and
that
is
what
are
we
part
of
voting
on
whether
support
any
particular
group?
What
we're
voting
on
is.
Do
we
want
our
city
flagpoles
to
be
utilized
to
support
different
causes,
organizations
what-have-you
and
my
recommendation?
L
The
reason
why
I
made
that
is
after
talking
with
several
people
is
that
yeah
that's
kind
of
the
Pandora's
box
syndrome.
That's
what's
before
us
today.
It's
a
very
clear-cut
decision,
there's
a
really
emotional
side
that
gets
in
this
conversation
I.
Think
we're
all
on
the
same
page
in
that,
in
fact,
I'm
a
hundred
percent
sure
we
are,
but,
as
is
often
when
we
get
at
a
city
issue,
we
need
to
focus
on
what
we're
voting
on.
L
So
the
recommendation
I
made
was
merely
that
we
don't
use
the
city
flag,
pull
or
flag
poles
for
anything.
Other
than
flying
the
American
flag,
the
state
flag
and
any
City
flag
that
we
may
have
an
official
city
flag,
it's
very
simple:
it's
not
anti
anything!
It's
about
good
governance
and
it's
about
not
putting
future
councils
in
a
position
where
the
flagpole
starts
getting
politicized,
not
but
so
much
I'm
saying
by
this
group
I'm
just
saying
in
general,
because
you
step
back
and
look
at
this.
It's
about
good
governance.
It's
not
anti
anything!
L
It's
about
being
fair
and
equitable
to
everybody
and
a
future
Council.
If
we
allow
flags
on
the
flagpole,
future
councils
are
going
to
have
those
shoes
when
I
join
this
council.
One
of
my
first
goals
was
I:
don't
want
to
create
issues
for
future
councils
because
some
of
the
things
that
we've
faced
were
created
some
time
ago
so
Bret
understand
you've,
got
complete
support
up
here
for
your
organization
and
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
people
Watertown
that
will
back
us
all
up
on
that.
It's
a
simple
issue
that
we're
not
going
to
use.
L
D
Yeah
I
just
want
to
clarify
based
on
Mike's
comment,
probably
not
just
a
flag
was
the
wrong
term.
I
think
only
a
flag
was
what
I
was
trying
to
get
at.
Is
that
I
totally
agree?
I
mean
my
husband
I
am
my
husband's
a
Gulf
War
vet
served
two
terms
over
in
the
sandbox
as
they
call
it,
and
we
talk
all
the
time
about
the
fact
that
that's
what
he
fought
for.
He
fought
for
the
ability
to
people
to
kneel
if
they
want
to.
D
He
fought
for
whether
he
agrees
whether
or
not
that's
what
our
you
know
like
Michael
said:
that's
what
they're
there,
for
they
want
people
to
have
freedom
of
speech
and
their
rights
to
do
the
things
that
they
do
and
I
I
want
that
to
be
clear,
that
I
should
have
probably
said
only
a
flag
that
there's
so
much
more
that
we
can
do
than
only
a
flag.
So
I
agree
that
that
is
not
just
a--
flag
is
probably
not
the
right
terminology
on
that.
D
I
understand
what
Don
is
saying
very
well
in
that
I
have
we
have
based
those
of
us
who
are
on
our
second
term?
We
have
faced
number
of
things
that
we've
been
able
to,
or
that
we've
been
required
to.
This
is
a
very
emotional
issue
for
me.
Now
trust
me
I'm,
coming
from
a
place
where
we
have
family
members,
I
have
immediate
family
members
that
this
is
an
issue
for
them
too.
So
I'm
I'm
thinking
that
the
idea
of
not
politicizing
the
flagpole
is
is
a
valid
one.
D
I
I
think
that,
like
I
said
we
have
so
many
more
things
that
and
I
think
if
you
go
around
the
community
you'll
find
other
entities
that
have
a
similar
policy.
They
they
may
say
you
know
we
can't
put
up
the
only
a
flag,
but
we
can.
We
can
do
a
lot
of
other
things
we
can
bring
in
Speaker.
We
can
do
awareness
for
our
staff.
We
can
have.
You
know,
there's
so
many
more
things
that
that
we
can
do
at
I.
D
D
Those
are
important,
but
those
political
discussions
have
been
done
and
accepted
and
I'm
not
saying
that
we
don't
accept
the
flag
pole
I'm
saying,
can
we
do
we
do
more
things
than
only
if,
like
I
want
to
see
us
do
more
and
so
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
I'm
I'm.
Sorry,
if
I'm
you
know
came
across
as
Justice
League
that
that
wasn't
my
intention.
My
intention
was
only
a
flag
and
the
non
politicizing
of
I
just
still
think
it
could
be
limited
to
one
flagpole,
but
that's
I.
D
Think
Don
has
a
really
good
point
that
way
and
you're
also
putting
organizations
at
risk
again,
like
I,
said,
with
a
mayor
you're
putting
organizations
at
risk
by
having
to
be
at
the
mercy
of
a
council
every
time
somebody
wants
to
do
something
and
I
think
I'd
rather
have
us
have
a
precedence
in
our
community
of
support
versus
only
a
flag.
Does
that
help
it's
not
just
a
flag
and.
K
First
of
all,
doing
more
than
just
raising
the
flag
and
raising
the
flag,
those
aren't
mutually
exclusive
things.
We
don't
have
to
do
one
instead
of
the
other.
The
city
already
has
a
human
rights
commission
to
hear
the
kind
of
thoughts
and
feelings.
That's
a
councilman
bill.
How
are
in
councilman,
Albertson,
have
talked
about,
and
I
personally
am
working
with
Mayor
Karen
on
our
Equality
Index
score
for
the
policy
side
of
things,
to
help
make
sure
that
the
council
is
doing
things.
K
So
don't
worry
that
part
is
being
done,
but
that
part
does
not
have
the
same
impact
that
this
kind
of
support
would
have
in
the
community.
With
all
due
respect,
councilman
Roby,
you
keep
saying
that
it's
not
being
anti
something,
but
then
just
a
couple
sentences.
Afterward,
you
said:
do
we
want
to
decide
as
a
council
to
support
certain
organizations
using
the
flagpole,
and
your
answer
was
no.
K
Your
answer
was,
to
only
have
it
be
government
flags
and
I
can't
help
when
people
say
that
they're
listening
to
me
as
an
LGBTQ
member
having
councilmen
members
say,
do
we
want
to
make
this
a
political
issue?
Who
I
am.
Is
not
political,
it's
not
up
for
a
political
debate
and
standing
against
violence
and
discrimination
in
our
community.
That
shouldn't
be
a
political
issue
that
we're
talking
about
today.
This
is
something
that
the
council
has
said.
They
stand
against
something
that
councilman
Roby
just
said.
K
He
stands
against,
and
this
is
the
opportunity
to
for
the
City
Council
to
actually
show
that
to
its
community
members.
If
you
only
allow
government
flags
to
be
flown,
you
are
robbing
yourself
of
the
opportunity
to
finally
stand
up
against
the
violence
and
the
hatred
that
you
guys
say
makes
you
sick
that
it
exists
in
our
community.
You
are
all
leaders
of
our
community
and
people.
Look
to
you
guys.
They
look
to
the
City
Hall
for
guidance
on
where
they
should
be
and
to
have
a
flag
be
raised.
K
Still
talking
about
that,
nobody
is,
but
I
can
tell
you
as
an
LGBTQ
individual
member
that
when
I
saw
that
it
meant
the
world
to
me,
because
I
finally
saw
the
government
saying
that
they
are
going
to
protect
me
and
not
only
that,
but
they
are
gonna
condemn
people
that
want
to
be
violent
towards
me
and
want
to
harass
me.
And
so
when
we
say
things
like,
we
need
support
from
our
city
government
officials.
K
This
is
the
kind
of
support
we
are
talking
about
when
we
come
to
a
Human,
Rights
Commission
and
say
that
we
want
more
advocacy
and
more
support
from
our
city.
This
is
the
kind
of
support
that
we
are
asking
for
and
so
I
don't
want
you
guys
to
turn
your
heads
away
and
say:
oh
well.
It
might
cause
issues
lighting
fireworks
at
the
Soccer.
Complex
may
cause
some
issues.
People
might
get
injured,
fires
might
start
happening,
but
we
adjust
to
those
things.
We
take
risks.
K
We
take
stances
for
things
that
would
benefit
our
community,
and
this
is
another
one
of
those
instances
we're
doing
something
so
simple,
as
raising
a
flag
for
one
day
can
mean
the
world
to
this
city
and
to
individuals
in
this
city.
People
need
a
platform
to
voice
their
support
and
start
the
conversations
against
the
hatred
and
the
harassment
that
we
are
facing
in
this
community,
and
this
is
a
way
to
start
those
conversations
and
it's
a
way
to
condemn
those
actions,
and
it's
such
a
simple
way
of
doing
it
as
well
and
so
I.
K
Please
I
strongly
encourage
any
council
members
that
want
to
votes
for
the
government
flag,
only
policy.
We
are
doing
the
other
things
that
you
talked
about.
We
have
a
commission,
Councilwoman
man,
T
I'm,
working
on
laws
and
other
policies
through
the
city
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
more
than
raising
a
flag,
but
I
need
this
piece.
My
community
needs
this
piece
as
well,
so
that
we
can
finally
start
having
recessions
in
Watertown
about
what's
going
on
in
our
city
and
where
our
City
Council
stands.
K
If
you
reject
this,
and
you
say
no,
you
are
denying
an
opportunity
to
have
those
conversations
and
as
leaders
choosing
to
not
talk
about
it
to
the
same
degree
and
so
I
can't
help
but
feel
when
you
guys
say
that
your
supports
your
actions
need
to
follow
that
and
doing
something.
So
simple
was
something
that
I,
don't
think,
has
a
significant
risk.
Keep
in
mind,
mayor
Karen's
policy
would
prevent
political
Flags
would
prevent
religious
flags
will
prevent
commercial
flags.
It's
preventing.
All
of
the
concerns
that
you
are
worried
about
will
happen.
K
If
you
raise
this
flag,
the
policy
is
going
to
adapt
to
that
and,
if
there's
a
hole
in
it,
we
can
adjust
to
that
as
well
as
a
City
Council,
but
we
need
this
first
step
and
it's
this
up.
This
truly
is
the
opportunity
for
the
City
Council.
To
now
say
we
do
actually
support
you,
Brett.
We
do
actually
support
your
community
and
we
are
willing,
as
leaders
in
this
city,
to
take
that
public
stance.
That's
what
we've
been
missing
since
I've
grown
up
here
in
Watertown.
K
A
L
I've
made
it
clear,
I
support
your
organization,
I've
made
it
clear,
I've
stated
it
public
and
I'll
state
it
again.
We
want
to
support
your
efforts.
The
thing
I'm
trying
to
stress
here
is
a
procedural
thing
and
I
get
the
emotion
around
the
issue.
But
if
you
look
out
when
we
make
decisions
as
a
city,
we
set
precedence
every
time
we
make
a
decision.
We've
done
this
with
all
kinds
of
ordinances
building
codes,
you
name
it
in
this
particular
case,
I
didn't
say
you
are
politicizing.
L
What
I
said
is
when
we
start
allowing
people
to
put
their
flags
on
the
sits
of
a
flagpole,
it
will
eventually
I
believe
it
eventually
will
get
politicized.
So,
aside
from
the
emotion
here
which
we're
telling
you,
we
support
your
organization
and
we're
looking
other
things
we
can
do.
This
particular
issue
is
a
flagpole
for
government,
flag
and
flags.
L
If
we
are
going
to
make
the
decision
to
allow
non
governmental,
flake
pulls
on
that
those
flakes
will
get
those
requests.
We
will
and
then
we're
going
to
get
them
from
a
lot
of
different
types
of
groups
and
then
eventually
is
going
to
have
to
happen.
Is
we're
going
to
have
to
say
no
and
all
the
issues
of
breadth
that
you
talked
about
all
the
problems
that
can
come
up
with
some
of
that
those
are
going
to
show
up,
and
then
the
council
at
that
point
is
going
to
have
to
make
a
decision.
L
Who
are
we
going
to
let
on
who
are
we
now
and
those
that
don't
let
get
let
on
so
you're
discriminating
us
in
your
anti
our
organization?
That's
not
the
debate.
I'm
making
here
the
debate.
I'm
making
is
a
procedural.
Do
you
want
non-governmental
flags
on
a
governmental
flagpole?
It's
a
very
simple
issue:
we're
getting
real
clouded
and
a
lot
of
other
very
important
issues.
L
The
point
is
this:
it's
it's
a
flagpole
for
the
government
flags.
If
we're
going
to
allow
non
governmental,
flake
pull
flags
on
there
that
in
the
future,
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
requests
that
I
think
are
going
to
create
a
lot
of
issues.
It's
that
simple
of
an
issue
has
nothing
to
do
with
anti
against
anybody
else
and
I'd.
Rather,
you
didn't
put
me
in
that
box.
So
that's
my
my
point
very
clearly.
All.
A
G
Yep
sorry
I
don't
having
some
technical
difficulty
here
and
I
apologize,
Lera,
yeah
and
to
Don's
point
you
know
not
to
beat
around
on
beat
around
the
bush
or
anything
like
that.
You
know
we
were
elected
to
make
our
decisions.
That's
that's
never
been
one
that
I
think
most
of
us
on
the
council
would
would
say
that
you
know
that's
part
of
the
part
of
the
job
when
you
get
hired
into
it.
You
know
I,
look
at
it
similar.
You
know
not
that
they're
exactly
the
same,
but
our
side
enormous.
We
can't
dictate.
G
What's
on
a
sign
our
flag,
you
know
we
can't
really
dictate.
What's
on
the
play
pool
so
I
mean
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
come
up.
You
know,
I,
think
that
you
know
the
pulse
nightclub.
Shooting
which
killed
49
people
is,
is
a
travesty
and
never
should
have
happen,
but
unfortunately
you
know
there
are
people
in
this
world
that
will
never
accept
how
people
are
and
I
feel
that,
as
you
know,
that's
something
that
we
as
a
country
we
we
need
to
overcome,
especially
with
the
turmoil
we
have.
Now
you
look
at
it.
G
G
C
G
Has
gone
through
I
can't
even
imagine
what
they've
gone
through
we'll
just
prove
that
that
so
I
just
I,
don't
know
where,
where
to
go
with
that
it
is,
it
is
a
difficult
decision
all
the
way
around,
and
you
know
we
just
have
to
take
them
as
they
as
they
come.
So
Brett
I
appreciate
you
coming
forward
and
you
know
making
making
a
case.
That
is
a
very
challenging,
and
you
know
it's
just
it's
good
for
our
country
to
have
people
stand
up
and
and
talk
about
it
and
have
this
discussion
so
appreciate
that.
A
B
A
A
C
A
K
Thank
you
again
all
for
your
discussion
and
allowing
me
to
come
and
talk
to
you
today.
I,
it
sounds
like
all
of
you
here
are
in
support
of
what
we're
trying
to
do,
and
so
I
really
hope
that
I
see
all
seven
of
you
and
those
watching
walking
with
us
on
Friday
and
to
show
that
as
a
City
Council,
you
are
standing
against
this
and
so
I
welcome.
You
I
invite
you
and
I
and
I
hope
to
see
you
then
Thank.
K
K
B
A
Right
all
right,
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
execute
a
warranty
deed,
a
quick
claim,
deed
or
any
other
necessary
document
to
give
clear
title
to
certain
abandoned
railroad,
right-of-way
owned
by
Terrax,
South,
Dakota,
Inc
and
actually
I'm.
Reading
this
with
new
eyes
Matt.
This
do
we
have
to
do
one
or
the
other
warranty
or
a
quitclaim
for
emotion,.
E
E
What
we
discovered
and
short
is
that
there's
a
recent
US
Supreme
Court
case
on
this
issue,
just
as
a
way
of
a
little
historical
lesson
is
that
the
the
land
that
the
railroads
were
given
I
was
recently
determined
was
never
owned
by
the
railroads
it
was.
They
were
simply
given
an
easement.
So
what
we
were
given
in
the
year
2000
had
no
legal
effect.
We
never
owned
the
land
and
the
true
conveying
document
was
in
2005
to
tarrick
so
long
story
short.
E
A
H
E
This
is
has
ghost
Einstein
here.
This
is
a
one
Tareq's
previous
or
currently
still
at
Eric's
building,
and
this
is
another
Terrax
building
at
sally
212.
So
this
this
is
the
parcel
here
that
the
railroad
tried
to
give
to
us
by
deed
in
the
year,
2000
that
they
didn't
actually
own.
So
this
would
be
us
quick
claim,
beating
any
interest
we
may
have
had
in
that
parcel,
which
I
believe
was
none,
but
nonetheless
the
title
company
still
wants
that
to
clear
the
title.
F
E
Well,
my
understanding
is
yes,
so
the
land
that
was
given
to
the
rail
or
the
right-of-way
that
was
given
to
the
railroads
in
the
railroad
Act
of
1875
that
land
was
given
not
in
fee
ownership
but
as
easement
and
the
land
once
abandoned.
He
comes
owned
by
the
state
in
which
and
in
which
the
railroad
lied.
L
E
No
I
don't
see.
Originally
they
were
asking
for
a
warranty,
deed
and
I
was
I
was
encouraging
them
to
change
that
request
and
they
did
if
we
were
asked
to
provide
a
warranty
deed
I'd
be
a
little
more
hesitant
to
suggest
that
we
proceed
with
that.
But
a
quitclaim
deed
merely
says
that
if,
if
we
own
this
property
at
all,
we
don't
think
we
do.
We
don't
know
if
we
do,
but
if
we
own
any
part
of
it,
it's
now
tear
axes
know.
L
G
Yes
thinking
here
on
this
one
and
actually
having
done
some
work
on
a
couple
of
railroad,
former
railroad
properties
yeah,
the
state
is
on
most
of
those
they
have
transferred
ownership
or
sold
them
out
right.
I
know
that
is
the
state
has
been
trying
to
at
least
stay
South
quarters
been
trying
to
do
that
recently.
So
I
think
we're
okay,
but
if
that's
what
this
so
that
there's
clear
title
and
everyone
feels
okay
with
it,
I'm
good
with
it
all.
A
Opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
thank
you
Matt
yep
item.
He
is
review
of
the
continued
necessity
of
resolution
number
20-15
declaring
an
emergency
concerning
the
pandemic
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus
Cove
at
19
and
providing
for
responsive
measures
related
to
the
operations
of
the
city
and
the
protection
of
Public
Health
councilman
Villar.
F
A
Anybody
else
need
to
talk
about
this.
We
don't
need
to
take
action
right,
Matt,
correct,
yeah,
okay,
then
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
old
business.
We
did
put
out
a
request
for
proposals
and
Matt's
been
handling
that
Matt.
If
you
could,
let
us
know
the
result
that
proposal
deadline
was
last
Friday.
E
Yes,
thanks
man,
we
had
a
pretty
good
turnout
for
responses
to
our
RFP.
We
received
nine
submittals
four
firms
from
all
over
the
country,
predominantly
in
the
Midwest,
but
firms
from
all
over
the
country
showed
interest.
The
I
haven't
had
a
chance
to
comb
through
them
yet,
but
I
do
I
did
just
kind
of
quick
pull.
The
pricing
out
just
to
the
council
has
an
idea
where
we're
going
to
be
on
pricing.
The
lowest
of
those
nine
was
twenty
one
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
the
highest
was
twenty
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars.
E
E
Actually
has
a
contingent
fee
based
on
twenty
percent
of
the
first
year
salary
so
that
one
actually
could
be
the
highest
depending
on
the
first
year
salary,
but
otherwise
I
just
want
at
least
wanted
to.
Let
the
council
know
that
we
received
that
the
deadline
was
Friday.
We
received
nine
submittals
out
of
the
price
overview,
and
then
you
know
I
guess
I
would
ask
the
mayor
and
council
to
perhaps
discuss
how
we
want
to
proceed.
We
did.
We
did
indicate
that
we
would
choose
a
consultant
by
later
this
month.
E
A
G
E
Yeah,
this
should
be
absolutely
I,
guess
I
would
defer
to
you
or
Glenn
or
the
mayor
to
kind
of
decide
who's
going
to
be
a
part
of
that
committee.
Obviously
it
can't
be
more
than
a
quorum
and
all
assist
and
Jelena
will
assist
in
any
way.
But
obviously
this
is
the
you
know
where
this
resides
with
the
council
and
the
council
should
be.
The
leadership
of
the
council
should
be
comfortable
with
whoever
we
determined
to
use
here,
because
this
is
a
they're
helping.
You
ultimately
make
a
hiring
decision,
so.
F
A
Okay
and
then
so
that'll
give
us
a
good
committee
and
we'll
go
through
the
process
and
hopefully
make
a
recommendation
for
a
contract
at
the
first
meeting
in
July
all
right.
Thank
you.
I
would
like
to
just
give
an
update
on
the
kovat
cases.
We've
had
a
little
bit
of
a
rise
last
Friday
there
we
had
nine
cases
in
the
nine
County
region
surrounding
Watertown.
A
H
J
H
If
there
was
an
airport
board
meeting
that
coincided
with
this
meeting
today
to
talk
about
it
and
I
would
have
been
more
prepared
to
let
you
know,
but
they're
still
working
on
it
I
think
we're
getting
very
close
to
finalizing
the
details
of
what
we
like
in
the
architectural
design.
There's
been
a
lot
of
those
made.
The
mayor
has
sat
in
on
all
of
those,
as
well
as
as
Glen,
so.
F
H
But
I
think
if,
if
the
council
were
interested
I
think
it
would
probably
be
a
good
choice
if
Todd,
Syre
or
Shannon
Cruz
came
on
behalf
of
the
airport
board
and
did
a
quick
presentation.
I
would
stress
quick,
because
these
meetings
have
tended
to
get
quite
long
on
the
airport
design,
but
just
to
show
the
full
council
and
maybe
a
last-minute
suggestion,
great.
A
Ok,
announcements,
I
want
to
just
quickly
say
we're
probably
all
been
watching
the
news
coverage
of
the
protests
that
are
going
around
her
country
with
interest
and
concern
I've
been
watching
and
feeling
pretty
powerless,
but
hopeful
that
violence
and
property
destruction
won't
happen
here.
I
really,
don't
think
it
will.
There
was
a
protest
on
Saturday
that
I
attended.
The
organizer
was
adamant
that
it
be
peaceful
and
it
was
really
pretty
inspiring
to
see
all
the
people
that
came.
A
There
were
several
hundred
people
there
and
a
lot
of
people
in
cars
that
didn't
actually
go
come
out
into
the
park
or
at
the
courthouse,
but
they
were
in
cars
and-
and
there
was
a
parade
from
me-
can't
think
of
the
name
of
that
Park
diamond
ball.
Thank
you
to
the
courthouse.
So
that
was
a
good
protest
in
that
people
really
had
a
chance
to
express
themselves
and
there
was
no
violence.
I
want
people
to
understand.
This
protest
was
not
against
law
enforcement.
That's
not
what
it
was.
A
A
So
we
have
excellent
law
enforcement
here
and
very
proud
of
our
community
and
proud
of
our
Police
Department
and
I
feel
very
safe
and
I
would
like
to
take
this
opportunity
to
call
upon
all
people
in
Watertown
to
treat
others
the
way
we
want
them
to
treat
us
and
that's
what
everyone
wants
in
this
world.
So
with
that
I
want
to.
Are
there
any
other
announcements
or
I
move
on
I've
seen
any?
A
Do
not
expect
any
answer
when
we
come
out
and
I
do
not
know,
I
mean
there's
several
items
that
depends
on
what
the
council
wants
to
know.
I
have
some
things
to
explain
that
we
will
be
in
a
position
to
be
making
decisions
soon
and
I
want
the
council
to
have
background
information
for
economic
development
and
contractual
matters.
So
any
emotion
for
that
little
emotion
by
Helene.
Second,
by
Albertson
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
all
right.
All.
