Description
City Council Meeting - 10-05-2020
B
Our
heavenly
father,
we
thank
you
for
this
gathering
here
this
evening.
We
thank
you
for
that
which
binds
us
together
and
that's
our
love
for
this
community.
Lord.
We
take
so
many
things
for
granted,
but
as
we
focus
on
watertown
and
the
citizens
here,
we're
so
thankful
for
being
blessed
in
a
place
like
this.
We're
thankful
for
the
services
that
are
provided
our
streets
and
the
protection
from
our
fire
department
and
our
medical
staff
and
our
paramedics
lord.
B
We
thank
you
for
the
police
that
guard
us
throughout
the
hours
of
the
day
in
the
darkest
times.
We
thank
you
for
each
one,
lord,
who
works
together
and
and
makes
us
a
pretty
great
place
to
live
god.
I
thank
you
for
your
word.
It
challenges
us
to
work
hard
to
stay
in
unity
and
sometimes
that's
hard
to
do
as
we
all
have
different
visions.
So
we
pray
that,
even
with
the
visions
here
that
there
would
be
not
division
but
unity.
We
thank
you
for
wisdom
and
insight.
B
I
thank
you
for
the
the
kindness
and
the
grace
that's
offered
by
these
council
members
who
sacrifice
their
time
and
their
talent,
and
they
could.
They
could
be
doing
other
things
lord.
So
it's
a
wonderful
thing
that
they
could
be
here
and
serve
us
as
well.
I
pray
your
blessing
on
each
one
here
and
our
mayor
and
each
of
this
administration
staff.
We
thank
you
for
all
these
things
in
jesus
name.
We
pray.

Eight

regular
agenda
item,
a
is
presentation
and
acceptance
of
the
2019
audit
from
william
knee
neil
and
company
pc.
So
I
do
need
a
motion
for
the
acceptance
part
and
emotionally
lollam
in
a
second
by
bill
hauer,
and
I
will
ask
the
finance
officer,
kristen
bobsien,
to
introduce
this
item.
B
Thank
you,
mayor,
troy
with
william
neal,
is
in
the
audience
and
he
will
actually
be
presenting
the
review
of
the
2019
audit
to
the
council,
so
I'll
let
troy
take
over
and
then,
if
there's
any
questions
between
him
and
myself,
we
can
try
to
answer
them.
Thank.
F
You
nope
oh
yeah.
Now
I
am
okay.
Sorry,
tough,
tough
to
hit
a
button.
I
guess
so
at
the
conclusion
of
the
audit.
We
are
required
to
communicate
to
the
governing
body
information
related
to
our
audit.
F
There
were
no
accounting
policy,
adopt
a
new
accounting
policies
adopted
or
changes
in
existing
policies.
During
the
year
we
had
some
uncorrected
misstatements
professional
standards
require
us
to
accumulate
all
known
and
likely
misstatements
identified
during
the
audit
other
than
those
that
are
trivial
and
communicate
them
to
the
appropriate
level
of
management.
F
The
attached
schedules
are
the
audit
difference,
evaluation
forms
which
are
attached
to
that
letter
that
you
each
have
received
summarize
each
of
those
that
were
identified
during
during
the
audit,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
them
each
of
them.
But
if
anybody
has
a
question
later,
you
can
ask
me
now-
or
you
can
ask
me
later
or
whatever,
whatever
you
choose.
F
Management
has
determined
that
these
affect
that.
The
effects
from
these
uncorrected
misstatements
are
immaterial
both
individually
and
in
the
aggregate
to
the
financial
statements
taken
as
a
whole.
There
were
some
corrected
misstatements.
We
are
record.
We
are
also
required
to
communicate
any
material
misstatements
that
were
identified
during
our
audit
procedures
and
were
corrected
by
management.
F
Although
there
were
a
few
adjusting
and
reclassifying
entries
made
during
the
audit,
the
only
material
audit
adjustment
made
by
management
was
to
properly
record
the
loan
to
the
developer
of
the
project
within
the
tax
increment
financing
district
number
10,
which
is
listed
in
that
letter
under
the
correct
and
uncorrected
misstatements.
F
There
were
some
other
things
noted
that
we
have
communicated
to
management,
kristin
we've
gone
through
them
and
stuff,
which
are
things
that
we
had
noted
during
the
audit,
which
we
do
not
consider
significant.
We
just
visit
with
them
and
and
do
anything
we
need
to
do
with
with
the
christian
and
the
finance
department.
F
An
unmodified
opinion
was
issued
on
the
financial
statements
for
each
opinion
union,
which
means
there
is
a
clean
opinion.
There
were
no
material
weaknesses
or
significant
deficiencies
disclosed
by
our
audit,
and
we
did
not
disclose
any
non-compliance
which
was
material
to
the
financial
statements.
F
F
The
audit
report
has
been
approved
by
the
south
dakota
department
of
legislative
legislative
audit
and
also,
I
believe,
it's
been
submitted
to
the
gfoa
for
for
the
certificate
program.
So
any
questions.
E
I
guess
I
always.
I
just
want
to
emphasize
a
couple
of
words
and
that's
the
fact
that
you're
giving
us
a
clean
opinion
troy
on
our
on
our
financial
statements.
Yes,
okay
and
I
guess
I
had
a
question
for
kristen,
I
mean
you're,
the
one
that
troy
was
harassing
off
and
on
for
several
months,
any
comments
from
your
perspective
about
the
audit.
B
No,
I
think
the
audit
went
well.
We
had
a
few
different
things
that
happened
this
year
with
our
tips
and
stuff,
but
other
than
that,
I
think
the
audit
was
good.
A
A
D
G
A
Okay,
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
action
regarding
ambulance
service
protection
proposals
with
the
townships
and
villages
in
connington,
county
potential
council
action
regarding
the
remaining
townships
and
villages
that
have
not
reached
an
agreement
with
watertown
fire
rescue
for
the
services,
and
I
see
that
our
fire
chief
and
assistant
chief
chief,
kranz
and
assistant
chief
roland
are
here
and
they
have
a
presentation
to
give.
So
I
will
hand
it
over
to
you.
H
Yeah,
thank
you
as
don's
gonna
get
this
loaded
I'd
just
like
to
thank
everybody
for
their
time.
It's
been
a
a
pleasure
working
through
this,
and-
and
you
know,
we
hope
hope
to
answer
everybody's
questions
here
tonight.
I
I
Okay,
just
a
little
bit
history
of
our
ems
that
we
currently
provide,
we've
been
providing
ambulance
protection
for
the
county
since
1950
as
well
as
the
city
waterfront
for
rescue,
is
a
paid
on-call,
24-hour
service.
Everybody
can
see.
We
provide
ambulance
coverage
to
the
majority
of
codington
county.
I
We
became
advanced
life
support
which
is
paramedics
in
1985
and,
as
you
can
see,
we
provide
protection
for
14
townships
and
four
villages
within
cottage
county.
I
Again,
when
it
comes
to
current
funding
aspects
for
watertown
ambulance,
we
I
have
a
service
protection
area
for
the
majority
of
connecting
county.
Like
I
said,
we
do
get
our
revenue
from
basically
our
general
city
fund
and
that
consists
of
68
sales
tax,
everybody,
as
well
as
32
percent
property
tax
from
our
watertown
residents.
I
I
H
H
H
A
lot
of
ambulance
services
are
struggling,
they're
they're,
all
heavily
subsidized,
so
they
they
put
laws
in
there
to
for
us
to
work
together
with
townships
and
villages
to
to
come
up
with
funding
solutions
to
moving
forward
as
ems
is
getting
so
expensive
when
we
started
this
in
1950.
H
Obviously,
at
what
point
it
became
really
organized
before
the
entire
county.
You
know,
I
don't
know
for
sure.
I
do
know
we
got
our
first
ambulance
in
1940
we
got
a
1947
ambulance
and
that
was
one
cot
and
not
much
training.
So
we've
made
a
lot
of
advancements
in
the
past
70
years,
so
I
just
wanted
to
share
that.
So,
basically,
that's
that's
our
requirement.
Just
working
together
as
a
community,
I'm
a
codington
county
resident.
I
also
am
a
city
employee
and
I'm
also
live
in
a
city
limit.
H
So
I
consider
myself
a
community
a
connecting
county
member
and
we're
all
we
all
live
in
conkton
county.
So
the
next
one
is
cities
and
villages.
This
is
a.
This
is
a
law
that
any
subdivision
or
city
or
village
within
our
within
our
jurisdiction,
our
primary
service
area.
We
are
allowed
to
work
with
them
in
the
same
fashion
as
we
do
at
the
townships
to
work
together
to
to
keep
ams
as
a
whole
within
our
community.
H
So
that's
basically
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
take
the
model
from
the
fire
service
which
requires
us
to
provide
protection
and
just
ease
up
on
that
and
work
together
with
our
community
to
provide
ems
service
as
we
have
in
the
past.
So
that's
how
we're
looking
at
this
funding
and
we
want
to
keep
it
in
in
that
manner.
So.
I
Okay,
I'll
just
kind
of
continue
on
with
our
service
protection
agreement,
water
and
fire
rescue
has
always
provided
ems
to
our
county
and,
of
course,
since
1950
that's
happened
and
as
expected
of
us,
the
one
thing
I
want
to
add
is
medical
supplies
for
our
ambulances
increased
drastically
over
the
years,
and
we
have
five
advanced
life
support
ambulances,
everybody
that
we
provide
protection
to
the
citizens
not
only
of
our
city
but
our
county
as
well
and
interesting
enough.
The
second
penny
sales
tax
is
basically
where
we
derive
that
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars.
I
That's
not
even
something
that
we're
talking
about
when
it
comes
to
the
overall
operating
budget
of
our
ambulance
budget
and
each
every
two
years.
It
costs
us
well
over
three
350
000
to
buy
an
ambulance
plus
ambulance
equipment.
That
goes
with
that
and
again,
the
difference
between
a
basic
life,
support,
ambulance
and
advanced
life.
Support
ambulance
is
two-fold:
everybody.
We
bring
an
emergency
room
on
wheels
to
every
scene
that
we
go
to
when
it
comes
to
the
funding
source.
I
Again
again,
we
we're
talking
about
that
32
property
tax
and,
ultimately,
when
we
talk
about
the
funding
aspect
of
our
budget
2020,
it's
2.8
million
dollars
for
our
ambulance
budget,
everybody
and
of
that
revenue
that
we
receive
it's
1.1
million
dollars
in
ambulance
user
fees.
Those
are
the
ambulance
bills
that
we
receive
and
the
revenue
that
we
receive
from
that
intake
to
our
ambulance
budget.
I
That
leaves
us
about
a
1.7
million
dollar
deficit
to
the
city
of
watertown
and
that
becomes
the
taxpayers
of
our
community
and
how
we
pay.
That
is
68
of
that.
1.7
million
comes
from
sales
tax
and
that's
everybody.
That's
paying
that
and
then
that
32
percent
comes
from
the
property
taxes
of
our
citizens,
of
our
our
local
city
and
unfortunately,
that
does
not
come
from
our
county
residents
and
that
equates
to
about
580
000
dollars.
That's
put
on
the
burden
of
the
citizens
of
this
community.
H
Just
have
one
comment
before
don
moves
on
on
this
slide:
the
five
als
ambulance,
ser,
ambulances
that
we
do
have.
Currently,
we
have
the
same
equipment
identical
in
all
five
of
them,
so
if
you're,
the
first
on
the
first
ambulance
out
the
door
or
the
fifth,
you
have
the
same
equipment
and
the
same
trained
staff,
paramedics
that
respond
to
each
other.
Everyone
they're
all
set
up
the
same.
I
And
I
just
want
to
let
you
know
too:
we
had
two
cardiac
arrests
in
the
last
three
months
outside
of
city
limits
both
were
saves,
so
I
just
wanted
to
just
add
that
that
was
a
pretty
awesome
thing
that
happened.
It
was
15
miles
out
of
town
too,
so,
okay,
one
other
thing
I
want
to
touch
on
is
ambulance
protection
agreements.
I
I
Back
in
september
of
last
year,
we
identified
sending
out
a
letter
to
our
township
folks
and
villages
to
let
them
know
about
our
protection
agreements
that
we'd
like
to
enter
into
with
them.
We
had
a
question
answer
a
session
with
those
back
in
september
of
2019..
I
We
did
have
a
number
of
townships
that
did
show
up
at
this
meeting
and
it
was
very
engaging
and
we
were
able
to
share
some
different
thoughts
on
how
we're
providing
protection.
We
also
got
to
share
some
of
our
our
ambulance
equipment
as
well
as
give
them
a
tour
of
our
facility
and
show
them
some
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
right
now.
I
The
chief
and
I
also
attended
four
board
meetings
at
different
city
villages.
Obviously
that's
florence,
henry
wallace
and
cransberg
respectively
and
shared
some
of
the
information
when
it
comes
to
our
ambulance
protection
agreements
as
well.
In
october
2019.
I
I
I
We
also
received
more
calls
from
mayor
larson
and
others
about
the
costs
and
and
doing
these
mousse
and
not
giving
enough
information.
So
mayor
karen,
didn't
send
out
a
letter
to,
I
believe,
the
mayor
from
florence,
as
well
as
the
mayor
of
henry
in
in
regards
to
some
of
that
ambulance
budget
revenue
back
in
april
this
year.
I
Town
boards
as
well-
okay,
thank
you,
may
of
2020.
I
We
talked
to
some
of
the
administrator
folks
there
that
about
the
cares
act
and
the
possibility
of
using
funding
for
the
cares
act
to
help
pay
for
the
the
protection
costs
as
well,
and
then
I
believe
in
september
of
just
this
year
as
well,
we
sent
out
certified
letters
to
determine
the
the
past
two
amounts,
so
anything
to
add
on
that.
H
Though
yeah
I
do
just
have
a
couple,
we
did
also
as
working
through
this
process.
I've
worked
quite
quite
a
bit
with
the
the
townships
and
villages
over
the
last
a
couple
months,
exactly
for
the
most
part,
the
townships
I've
taken
care
of
I've
reached
out
to
them
all
by
cell
phone
and
a
lot
of
the
questions
they're
having
it's
just
understanding.
You
know
why,
now?
Why
did
why?
All
of
a
sudden
the
service
fee-
and
you
know
so-
we
we
walked
through
it
explaining
it.
You
know
this
is.
H
This
is
something
that's
always
been
a
free
service
and
the
cost
keeps
going
up
and
we
just
aren't
able
to
continue
to
go
down
this
way
so
after
visiting
with
them.
H
They
did
have
a
lot
of
questions
about
that
and
the
other
comment
I
would
like
to
say
about
the
the
townships
they're
the
the
remaining
townships
are:
are
I've
talked
to
quite
a
few
members
of
those
they
are
going
to
be
meeting
here
in
the
near
future
when
the
farming
season
is
wrapped
up
and
stuff,
and
I've
offered
my
myself
to
come
out
to
those
those
township
meetings
and
answer
any
questions
they
may
have
and
and
that's
that's
about
it-
they're
just
two
things:
they,
they
just
didn't
think
they
had
enough
information
and
and
the
fact
that
why
are
we
starting
to
charge
now
when
it's
always
been
for
free,
so
we're
working
through
those
with
those
folks
and
the
townships.
H
The
best
way
to
communicate
with
the
townships
is,
is
by
cell
phone
or
by
phone
and
calling
and
calling
them,
because
they
don't
meet
as
often
and
have
their
board
meetings
and
stuff
so
working
with
them.
Wherever
I
can
to
to
make
sure
we
can
answer
all
their
questions.
I
And
again,
this
is
a
five-year
agreement
from
this
year
to
2024,
with
no
increase
at
all.
During
that
time
frame,
here's
just
a
kind
of
a
service
area
map.
We
did
not
serve
protection
up
in
this
area.
This
is
south
shore
ambulance
district.
This
is
for
german
township,
elmira
and
waverly
respectively,
and
at
this
time,
south
shore,
ambulances
taking
care
of
that
area.
We
do
assist
with
them
routinely
every
on
most
calls
as
well.
I
The
four
townships
that
we're
currently
working
with
right
now,
eden,
phipps
and
henry
township
and
and
I
believe,
graceland
they're
in
the
process,
like
doug,
said
of
beating
in
october,
to
do
to
make
that
determination
to
come
to
an
agreement,
but
we
feel
like
we're
getting
pretty
close
with
those
folks
and
then
again,
henry
township
or
excuse
me
henry
village
and
florence
village
are
still
the
remaining
ones.
Just
a
side
note.
I
know
most
people
probably
want
to
know
how
we
came
up.
I
The
determination
of
the
fee
structure
and
the
fee
structure
for
the
townships
were
0
to
100.
Population
was
500,
101
to
200,
population
was
750
200
population
above
was
a
thousand
dollars,
so
that
was
on
the
townships.
The
villages
were
zero
to
100
was
500
101
to
200
was
750
201
to
300
was
1500.
I
Anything
above
300
was
considered
2500,
so
we
wanted
to
be
very
the
same
and
uniform
in
that
area.
I
Again
when
it
comes
to
ambulance
protection,
what
is
the
requirements?
There
really
is
no
requirements
other
than
what
doug
talked
about
in
those
codified
laws.
We're
we're
not
required
to
provide
service
as
well.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
that
people
understand
that
in
in
that
regard,
again,
we've
done
it
for
70
years,
and
all
we
want
to
do
is
simply
show
the
the
importance
as
as
a
as
a
town
and
as
a
city
that
we
unify
as
much
as
possible
to
provide
these
services.
I
I
think
you'll
stay
out
on
that
doug,
okay,
so
this
is
kind
of
where
out
for
costs.
You
want
to
end
it
here,
total
cost
that
we
have
for
our
14
townships
and
four
villages
is
right
at
seventeen
thousand
dollars.
We
again,
like
I
told
you,
we
covered
585
square
miles.
Population
base
outside
of
city
limits
is
4955
people.
I
H
I
would
just
like
to
say
one
comment:
we
just
our
job
is
to
to
make
sure
we
show
the
value
in
the
in
the
three
dollars
and
forty
cents
per
per
resident
to
to
show
the
value
that
they're
getting
basically
a
an
advanced
life
support
ambulance
with
full-time
paramedics,
ready
to
to
roll
their
directions.
So
a
lot
of
equipment
in
us
to
assist
us
within
the
county
mapping
and
a
lot
a
lot
of
different
things
that
really
helps
us.
Do
our
job
and
perform
a
good
good
quality
service.
So.
A
Okay,
thank
you
and
I
we
have
a
couple
mayors
in
the
audience
mayor
callan
from
florence
and
mayor
larson
from
henry
are
both
here
and
I
like
to
give
them
the
opportunity
to
speak
mayor
callan.
Would
you
like
to
speak.
G
Let
me
start
out
by
saying
that
I
have
no
problems
paying
for
service
that
I
get.
If
you
guys
come
out
and
save
my
butt
I'll
pay,
that's
not
a
problem,
but
this
was
all
done
with
no
input
from
the
towns
or
the
villages
and
that
340
per
person
comes
out
to
6.68
cents
per
person.
In
florence,
2500
from
florence
is
23
of
our
yearly
property
tax
income.
That's
the
only
income!
We
have
that
we
can
base
our
allowances
on.
G
D
Thank
you
for
your
time
first
and
for
having
us
here.
I
would
like
to
take
a
few
minutes
to
dispel
some
of
the
myths
about
the
whole
situation.
Number.
One
being
that
I
hear
all
this
talk
about
wanting
to
work
with
us
and
you
were
at
this
meeting
in
that
meeting.
Well,
the
second
meeting
we
had,
I
was
told
point
blank
at
the
front
of
the
meeting.
This
is
already
a
done
deal.
D
Just
the
way
it
is
so,
if
that's
their
definition
of
working
with
us,
then
they
can
say
that
it
is
not
accurate.
However,
there's
a
lot
of
that
going
on,
it
seems
like
this.
3.40
average
doesn't
apply
to
florence
or
henry
it's
well
beyond
that,
so
who's
not
getting
charged
that
the
mayor
talked
about
fairness
and
if
some
people
don't
pay,
it
wouldn't
be
fair
to
the
rest
of
them
that
do
so.
Is
it
fair
that
some
are
only
paying
40
of
that,
while
the
rest
of
us
are
paying
160
or
200
of
that?
D
So
all
this
talk
about
working
together
and
fairness,
and
all
of
that
is
just
that
talk.
I
would
like
to
get
down
to
some
of
the
facts.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
no
one
to
this
date
has
demonstrated
to
us
a
deficit
in
the
outside.
The
city
limit
calls
I've
been
asking
for
over
a
year
to
get
that
information,
and
that
has
not
been
demonstrated.
Yet.
The
fact
is
the
few
numbers
I
have
been
able
to
get.
There's
198
calls
outside
the
city
limits.
D
D
He's
got
rental
properties
there,
and
that
rate
is
higher
than
your
owner-occupied
rate.
Is
somebody
going
to
say
he's
not
paying
his
fair
share?
How
many
people
outside
the
city
limits
own
businesses
in
watertown
or
rental
properties
or
income
properties
or
a
lake
cabin?
None
of
this
has
been
taken
into
account,
because
the
whole
thing
from
the
start
has
already
has
just
been
a
a
decree
passed
down
on
us.
The
very
first
letter
we
have
doesn't
mention
anything
about
asking
us
for
our
help
or
talking
to
us.
It
says
we
will
collect.
D
So
we
were
told
from
the
start
that
we
will
collect,
and
then
we
were
told
it's
already
a
done
deal.
That's
just
the
way.
It
is.
There's
been
no
cooperation,
no
discussion.
Nobody
bothered
to
find
out
or
even
ask
the
most
basic
questions
and
somehow
we're
just
supposed
to
accept
this
without
ruffling
our
feathers.
I
guess
I
don't
know
how
else
to
say
it
other
than
it's
just
almost
shameful
the
way
this
has
been
handed
down
and
then
whisper
trade
to
the
public.
D
As
I
said,
I'm
not
willing
to
jeopardize
one
person,
but
are
you
I
want
to
know
tonight
by
a
vote?
Are
you
telling
us
that
you're
going
to
deny
potentially
life-saving
service?
If
we
don't
pay
extra,
because
it
is
extra?
We
pay
sales
tax.
Just
like
everybody
else.
In
fact,
this
talk
about
subsidy
is
kind
of
maddening,
because
we
subsidize
every
department
program,
project,
payroll
in
watertown,
that's
funded
in
whole
or
in
part
with
sales
tax
dollars,
not
just
the
ambulance
service.
D
There
used
to
be
a
time
and
you
can
look
back
through
your
records
when
the
city
acknowledged
that
and
actually
showed
appreciation
and
redisperse
some
of
the
tax
revenues
back
to
these
communities.
These
very
communities
that
are
now
being
portrayed
in
the
media
as
degenerates,
because
we
simply
have
questions
that
haven't
been
answered.
Yet
we
can't
make
a
decision
without
all
the
pertinent
information
and
the
most
pertinent
one
I
hope
will
get
answered
tonight.
A
That's
actually
a
subsidy
of
20.38
per
person
that
the
city
of
watertown
taxpayers
are
covering
entirely
and
so
from
property
tax
depends
on
how
you
you
do
the
math.
It
is
costing
those
of
us
who
live
here
a
lot
more
than
three
dollars:
40
cents
and
it,
but
it
is
also
you're
right.
I
did
the
math
on
florence,
it's
more
than
that,
there's
like
seven
dollars
something
per
person,
but
inside
the
city
limits
it's
twenty
dollars,
a
person
that
that
we're
those
of
us
who
live
in
the
town
are
paying.
A
So
I
I
guess
my
question
would
be:
is
it
fair
to
ask
for
anything
from
the
county?
And
I
I
think
it's
fair,
but
maybe
some
people
might
maybe
you
disagree?
Maybe
you
think
that
we
should
be
doing
this
out
of
our
own,
just
like
you
said,
because
you're
paying
into
our
sales
tax
revenue
and
not
receiving
the
same
level
of
benefit
from
it,
that
the
residents
of
watertown
receive
because
our
police
doesn't
serve
you,
but
that
supports
our
police.
But
when
you're
in
town
shopping,
our
police
is
serving
you.
A
So
I
guess
that's
that's
a
question
that
the
council
has,
and
I
I
really
we
haven't
talked
about
it
yet,
but
I
would
be
surprised
if
the
council
would
want
to
discontinue
service
if
you
don't
pay
without
knowing
that
you're
going
to
get
service.
I
think
the
question
is:
who
will
serve
you?
Do
you
have
options?
A
E
I
guess
I'd
like
to
have
chief
kranz
and
roland
come
back
up
and
maybe
address
some
of
the
comments
that
were
made
concerning
the
process.
Okay,.
H
I
think
you'd
be
happy
too
so
a
little
bit
about
about
some
of
the
first
of
all
I'll,
take
the
three
dollars
and
forty
cents.
If
you
take
the
math
forty
nine
hundred
fifty
five
county
residents
divided
by
seventeen
thousand
dollars
is
three
dollars
and
forty
cents.
They
are
correct.
That's
an
average.
Okay,
that's
with
everybody,
so
I
believe
all
of
them
put
together
is
ranges
between
two
dollars
and
seven
dollars
roughly
without
looking
back,
but
when
you
add
them
all
together,
it's
three
dollars
and
forty
cents,
a
residence.
H
That's
that's
how
we
come
up
with
that
and
I
think
it's
honestly
it's
a
a
very
fair
way
of
of
looking
at
a
service
fee
for
for
these
areas.
H
So
the
the
next
thing
I
would
like
to
address
is
the
fact
that
it's
that
it's
a
done
deal.
This
was
this
was
approved
by
this
was
approved
by
council
in
in
resolution,
and
we've
already
got
12
of
the
12
of
the
agencies
signed
in
the
the
organization.
So
I
I
guess
when
this
is
all
done,
my
my
question
is:
how
is
it
going
to
be
fair
if
someone
just
refuses
to
pay
when
when
everybody
else
is
paying,
so
that
would
not
work
very
well.
H
It
is
not
watertone
fire
rescue's
intention
to
to
stop
service
to
anyone.
911
services,
okay,
but
we
do
have
to
work
together
and
we
did.
We
did
contact
both
both
florence
and
henry
on
the
cares
act
dollars
that
we
believe
would
pay
for
this.
These
fees
for
the
first
year-
and
you
know
they
they
didn't
respond
to
that.
We've
made
several
phone
calls
out
there
and
you
know
they.
We
haven't
heard
a
response.
We've
offered
to
come
back
to
meetings
in
the
future
and
we
haven't
been
invited
back.
H
So
I
mean
we,
we
we
really
have
tried
to
to
answer
these
questions
that
that
mr
larson
and
and
the
mayor
from
florence
had
so
with.
That
being
said,
let's
see
what
was
there
one
other
question
too.
H
I
I
do
know
that
that,
like
I
said
the
townships,
we're
working
with
them,
but
the
the
the
cities
do
qualify
for
the
cares
act
so
and
and
they're
right.
We
don't
wanna,
we
don't
wanna
discontinue
service
but
they're
if
they
don't
see
the
value
in
in
the
in
the
small
service
fee,
which
is
which
is
structured
very
similar
to
the
fire
protection
fee
which
which
I
believe
they're
probably
paying
more
than
that
for
fire
protection.
H
But
with
that
being
said,
we
just
want
to.
We
want
to
be
fair,
and
I
think
this
is
a
fair
way
of
of
handling
it
for
a
city
service
to
be
providing
county
protection.
I
really
think
it's
we
all
pay
sales
tax,
we
do.
We
support
watertown's
economy
and
the
the
property
tax
you
know
in
general
is
is
on
the
citizens.
The
watertown
are
those
who
own
homes
in
watertown,
so
I
would
agree
with
some
of
them,
but
I
still
think
it's
a
fair
equation.
H
This
is
very
common
across
the
state
of
south
dakota.
All
ems
services
are
heavily
subsidized
from
someone
anybody
involved
in
9-1-1
services.
There
is,
there
is
no
none
of
them
are
making
money.
This
isn't
they're
non-profits
it
it's
it's.
It's
a
tough
game,
a
lot's
changed.
We
haven't
had
any
funding
from
from
higher
up
nobody.
Every
time
you
talk
about
funding,
nobody
wants
to
talk
about
it.
Okay,
our
costs
go
up
and
we
have
to.
H
H
E
I've
got
a
couple
couple
questions
for
you,
chief,
you
touched
on.
I
guess
I'd
like
to
delve
in
a
little
bit
more
other
communities
in
the
state.
There's
got
to
be,
there's
got
to
be
similarities
out
there,
where
a
larger
community
is
providing
service
to
smaller
communities
and
surrounding
townships.
Is
that
a
fair
statement.
H
That
is
accurate,
there's
there's
basically
different
types
of
services
out
there.
First
of
all,
there's
there's
county
rand
services.
There's
city
ran
services,
there's
not
not
for
profits.
There's
volunteer
services
which
are
not
for
profits
as
well,
and
there
are
paid
paid
services
they're
all
heavily
subsidized
in
south
dakota.
H
South
dakota
did
do
a
study
about
that.
A
lot
of
them
are
looking
in
the
future
over
the
next
10
years.
A
lot
of
them
already
have
ems
districts
set
up,
and
that
would
be
a
mill
levy
that
would
go
right
to
the
resident,
not
not
the
towns
and
villages.
Okay,
we
did
look
down
that
avenue
a
number
of
years
to
go
to
to
to
look
at
that
way.
We've
looked
at
other
funding
sources.
H
We've
actually
visited
with
the
county
in
the
in
the
past,
on
on
funding
back
in
2012,
I
believe,
and
and
now
we're
working
off
these
similar
to
fire
protection
agreements
they
they
are,
they
are
being
done
in
in
other
sound
towns.
I
do
know
two
towns
similar
to
us
are
both
have
them
in
place
and
an.
E
Maybe
it's
not
on
topic,
but
I'll.
Ask
the
question.
I
know
we
have
you
obviously
service.
I
mean
I'm
looking
at
hamilton,
county
castlewood,
for
example.
What
kind
of
arrangement
do
we
have
or
do
you
have
with
with
service
provided
in
those
areas.
H
We
will
provide
the
service
together
to
step
up
care
and
the
the
the
the
ambulance
bill.
The
patient
only
gets
one
bill,
okay
and
then
in
the
agreement
it's
spelled
out
the
percentage
of
each
service
upon
payment
who
gets
water
whatever.
So
we
work
together,
we
don't
charge
the
smaller
services
a
fee
and
they
don't
charge
us.
We
work
together
to
provide
service
to
the
community,
so
that's
in
place
and
we
use.
We
have
quite
a
few.
I
C
H
Yes,
so
in
connington
county
we
have
nine
townships
that
we
provide
fire
protection
they're
all
in
their
contract,
as
required
by
law
and
the
other.
The
other
four
fire
departments
also
have
fire
protection
agreements
in
place
with
with
the
town,
the
other
townships
that
they
serve.
So
we
serve
more
for
ems
than
we
do.
Fire
we
serve
nine
out
of.
Is
there
14
townships
done.
I
C
Nine
men,
okay,
who
are
the
other
ambulance
services
that
are
available-
I
mean
you.
H
H
I
believe
clark
is
a
county-owned
service
and
they
they,
I
do
believe
they're
now
paying
emts
to
write
to
full-time.
You
know
to
be
right
at
a
station
and
I
believe
they
have
some
paramedics
working
at
least
one
working
out
there
right
now,
and
so
they
have
also
have
willow
lake
down
down
the
road
and,
I
believe,
that's
all
volunteer
down
there.
So.
H
I
Well,
I
think
what
the
the
problem
is.
Just
they
have
a
lot
of
folks
that
work
in
watertown
or
other
cities
that
aren't
able
to
provide
that
protection
during
the
day.
So
we
provide
the
protection
during
the
day
and
sometimes
on
weekends,
if
they
do
not
have
an
ambulance
to
be
able
to
be
manned
or
staffed
that
that
evening
or
day,
we'll
we'll
we'll
take
that
call
for
them
up
in
south
shore
routinely.
H
I
I
want
to
add
that,
when
don
said
that
we
didn't
want
to
work
with
him
the
night
that
he
came
to
station
two
when
he
sat
down
with
us
doug-
and
I
the
chief
and
I
oh
first
thing
we
we
brought
up-
is
that
we're
offering
to
talk
about
our
budget
and
he
didn't
want
to
talk
about
our
budget
and
he
said.
Are
you
guys
going
to
change?
E
I
guess
I'd
asked
you
guys.
I
mean
one
of
the
county
commissioners
called
us
strong-armed.
We
were
referred
as
being
heavy-handed
and
I'm
saying
we
you
I
mean
with
that.
That's
us
too,
I
guess
looking
back
the
last
year,
14
15
months,
would
you
do
anything.
E
As
far
as
the
process
that
you
went
through
because
I
know
we
as
a
council
voted
unanimously
to
support
the
mou
when
it
came
before
us
last
year,
I
guess
looking
back
at
your
process.
Would
you
do
anything
differently?
E
As
far
as
you
know,
as
far
as
what
could
have
been
done,
I'm
just
asking
that
innocently
looking
back
now,
there's
something
you
could
have
done
differently.
H
Yeah,
so
once
you
know
I
I
would
say
yes,
I
I
learned
that
working
with
townships
mail
is
not
not
the
the
greatest
answer.
You
just
have
to
call
them
and
stuff,
because
they
don't
have
many
meetings
and
and
one
board
member
who
do
you
give
it
to
their
government
is
works
a
little
different
than
in
city
and
stuff,
but
so
we
probably
would
have
started
the
process
a
little
sooner.
I
would
have
probably
reached
out
my
cell
phone
and
made
sure
they
all
were
aware
of
it.
H
I
I
just
want
to
add,
too
that
when
I
went
to
florence
and
did
the
presentation
out
there
to
the
the
mayor
from
florence
and
a
couple
of
board
members
there,
the
the
presentation
went
really
well
and
it
was
well
very
well
received
from
those
folks
matter
of
fact.
I
They
were
really
close
to
just
voting
it
in
that
specific
night
and
from
my
understanding
there
were
some
problems
financially
like
the
mayor
alluded
to,
and
from
that
point
it
basically
went
downhill
from
that
point
and
we
didn't
hear
much
comment
or
or
got
a
lot
of
contact
back
with
them
and
I'd
reach
out
to
them
and
we
wouldn't
get
much
support
on
it.
I
K
D
First
and
foremost,
nobody
has
refused
to
pay.
We've
simply
said:
we
need
pertinent
information
to
make
that
decision
that
we
have
not
been
given
in
over
a
year's
time
of
process.
Secondly,
the
second
meeting
that
he's
talking
about
I
had
specific
questions
at
the
first
meeting.
That
doug
was
not
able
to
answer
and
said
he
would
have
the
answers
for
me
at
the
next
one,
and
when
I
got
there,
they
sat
down
and
tried
to
present
me
with
all
the
equipment
information,
that's
what
they
were
trying
to
present.
D
So
it's
it's
a
misdirection
to
say
we
refuse
to
pay,
because
I
haven't
heard
anybody
say
that
they
refuse
to
pay
it's
not
about
the
payment
is
what
we've
said.
It's
about
the
whole
process
and
the
facts
and
the
facts
don't
support
your
position.
They're,
changing
the
numbers,
change,
they're
revolving.
D
The
information
given
to
the
county
commissioners
have
ambulance
number
five
valued
at
four
hundred
thousand
dollars.
The
presentation
they
gave
to
the
town
of
henry
has
a
picture
of
the
same
ambulance
and
the
value
on
it
at
that
meeting
is
225
000,
so
the
credibility
for
their
numbers
is
pretty
well
gone.
If
all
you're
going
to
do
is
use
averages,
that's
why
340
per
person
is
an
average,
but
it's
not
accurate,
so
the
average
is
on
the
average
number
of
calls
the
average
cost
all
of
it.
None
of
that
is
accurate
specifically
to
our
situation.
D
That's
why
no
one
can
demonstrate
a
deficit
on
the
outside.
The
city
limit
calls
because
they've
just
been
included
in
an
average
and
we're
yet
to
be
told.
If
we
don't
pay
we're
not
going
to
do
it
so
who,
in
their
right
mind
being
fiscally
responsible
for
their
community
would
decide
to
just
pay
if
they
didn't
have
that
information
that
just
would
not
be
responsible.
A
D
Those
are
just
two
basic
questions
is
all
we
wanted
answered
for
over
a
year
I
asked
the
city
finance
office
questions
and
I
got
she
tried
to
invoke
hipaa
laws
on
finances,
so
there's
been
red
flags
from
the
start
of
this
until
now,
and
that's
what
I'm
talking
about
the
whole
procedure
and
the
principle
and
the
idea
that
we're
all
in
this
together
is
exactly
right.
We
are,
we
pay.
A
Well-
and
I
can
say
the
the
first
question:
can
we
demonstrate
a
deficit
on
out
of
city
limits?
Calls
I'm
not
sure
I
mean,
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that
and
if,
if
it
involves
hipaa
information,
then
you
know
we
can't,
but
the
the
second
question
about
what
are
we
going
to
do?
That's
what
we're
trying
to
figure
out
here.
We
don't
have
an
answer
yet
we're
trying
to
figure
that
out.
D
Right
but
I've
been
I've
asked
to
get
on
the
agenda
more
than
once
and
it's
more
than
a
year
later.
So
I
I
apologize
for
my
frustration,
but
this
has
been
ongoing
for
more
than
a
year
and
I
think
it
it
shouldn't
take
that
long.
I
think
it
should
have
been
handled
long
ago.
I
think
if
it
would
have
been
handled
in
committee
to
start
with,
where
all
these
questions
and
concerns
could
have
been
addressed.
C
So
mr
larson
is
at
your
stance
that,
because
right
here,
because
you
pay
sales
tax,
that
you
shouldn't
have
to
pay,
the
other
fee
is
that
is
that,
where
you're
coming
from
on
this.
D
C
C
C
C
D
E
Two
questions
we're
getting
off
we're
getting
off
topic
with
your
dialogue
with
with
adam,
you
said
you
had
two
questions.
One
is:
can
we
show
that
we
have
a
deficit
in
our
in
our
rural
ambulance
service?
I
I
believe
very
strongly
that
we
do.
I
can't
give
you
the
numbers,
I
believe
those
two
gentlemen
back
there
can't
that's
one
question.
D
D
K
Thank
you
mayor
to
mayor
larson
and
mayor.
Is
it
colin
callan?
Sorry
I
apologize
for
that?
I
want
to
reach
out.
I
just
want
to
say
I
apologize
if
you
guys
have
felt
slighted
have
felt
that
the
process
was
rigged
or
that
you
weren't
getting
due
process.
That
was
not
our
intent.
The
city
of
watertown
does
cherish
the
relationship
that
we
have
with
the
towns
in
connington
county,
and
I
do
believe
that
we
are
all
part
of
this
together.
K
K
I
want
to
make
it
clear
and
I,
when
I
talked
with
you
on
the
phone
I
made
this
clear
as
well.
Any
person
can
come
to
this
council
at
the
beginning
and
say
anything
they
want
to
us.
So
if
you
felt
that
you
had
waited
a
year
to
get
a
chance
to
speak,
that
is
not
true.
You
could
have
prompted
this
faster
by
bringing
this
to
us
earlier
now.
K
You
did
reach
out
by
phone
calls,
and
I
and
I
did
respond
because
you
said
I
want
a
specific
agenda
item
and
I
said,
let
me
see
what
I
can
do
and
the
mayor
easily
complied
and
then
also
when
I
then
called
you
back
saying
I've
got
an
agenda
item,
you
told
me,
I
can't
make
it
that
night.
So
then
we
also
changed
our
agenda
tonight
to
give
you
a
chance
to
speak.
So
I
I
hope
that
that
is
expressing
to
you
that
we
are
trying
to
listen
to
you.
K
I
and
I
really
do
apologize,
because
that
was
not
our
intent,
but
both
tonight
and
in
the
newspaper
you
use
the
term
shameful
and
degenerate
to
my
knowledge.
We
have
not
ever
called
you
or
the
community's
names
we're
just
trying
to
do.
What
I
think
is
fair.
So
the
name
calling
I
apologize.
If
you
felt
that
way,
but
as
far
as
I
know,
we're
not
the
ones
saying
it
so.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
mayor
just
a
couple
of
comments.
I
can't
speak
to
the
process
with
that,
because
I
wasn't
necessarily
involved,
but
I
do
want
to
make
a
couple
points
just
on
budget.
What
have
you
about
two
years
ago?
We
did
our
sales
tax
presentation
downtown,
and
that
highlighted
the
main
point
of
that.
Our
costs
are
rising
faster
than
our
revenues,
and
that
is
certainly
held
true
in
the
fire
department
than
my
term
on
the
council.
B
At
our
meeting
back
it's
a
couple
meetings
ago
we
wrote
off
for
the
september.
I
believe
it
was
ten
thousand
five
hundred
forty
two
dollars
in
ambulance
receivables.
We
wrote
that
off
and
talking
with
kristen
our
average.
You
know
we're
talking
averages
somewhere
between
seven
and
twelve
thousand
dollars
a
month.
We
write
off
on
the
ambulance
costs
and
you
know
that's
up
over
a
hundred
thousand
dollars,
and
that
does
not
include
what
we
write
off
for
medicaid
medicare,
which
is
roughly
the
same
amount.
B
So
the
costs
that
we
have
been
running
into
in
this
department
are
rising
faster
than
our
revenues
and
we
are
writing
a
tremendous
amount
off
every
year.
I
just
wanted
to
make
those
points.
I
think
the
question
I
have
to
ask
as
a
councilman
is,
is
what
has
been
proposed
or
we've
asked
for.
Is
it
been
reasonable
and
reasonable
for
all,
and
if
you
look
at,
I
think
the
service
provided
and
the
cost
with
which
is
provided.
B
It
does
seem
reasonable
to
me
and
that's
why
you
know
the
vote
went
through,
so
I
I
hope
we
can
get
away
from
the
ultimatums
and
strong-arm
tactics
and
and
either
you
know
if
we
can
agree,
it's
reasonable
or
not,
but
I
think
again
that
our
costs
have
gone
up
at
such
a
higher
rate
that
I
believe
that
there
is
a
level
of
reasonableness
involved.
Thank
you.
C
C
A
A
A
I'm
not
sure
what
his
math
is.
I,
I
think,
there's
lots
of
ways
you
can
do
the
math
any
way
you
slice
it.
A
A
So
if
you
take
the
subsidy
and
divide
it
by
five,
those
are
just
real
rough
numbers.
A
hundred
grand
would
be
paid,
but
we're
only
asking
for
17.,
that's
coming
out
of
property
tax,
the
rest
of
it
most
of
it's
coming
from
sales
tax,
and
we
we
acknowledge.
Everybody
pays
that
so
you
done
with
your
math.
C
A
C
A
Okay,
if
there
aren't
any
other
comments,
I
know
that
the
staff
was
looking
for
some
leeway
and
a
suggested
motion
was
listed
in
the
packet
to
approve
all
townships
and
villages
within
the
primary
service
area
of
watertown.
Fire
rescue
must
sign
the
service
agreement
or
seek
9-1-1
emergency
medical
services
from
another
ambulance
service
no
later
than
five
o'clock
p.m.
On
december
31
2020.
A
C
H
It's
it's
a
fair
question.
I
I
I
take
it
upon
myself
to
to
work
with
with
the
individuals
left
to
really
get
this
to
the
finish
line.
They
do
have
options
here.
Obviously
they
have
an
option
to
sign
with
us.
They
have
an
option
to
sign
with
someone
else
if
you're
saying
they
decide
not
to
sign
with
us
or
someone
else,
that's
going
to
be
a
a
tough
question,
because
I
I
don't
want
to
stop
services
when,
when
someone
calls
911,
they
have
a
cardiac
arrest.
H
Okay,
a
lot
of
the
a
lot
of
the
citizens,
don't
even
know
what
what's
going
on
with
ems
and
and
they
call
it
9-1-1
they
call
over
the
police
dispatch.
An
ambulance
has
to
come
from
somewhere.
You
know
we
can't
have
a
black
spot,
so
my
proposal
is
to
work
work
with
the
individuals
and
and
keep
the
council
updated
and
maybe
the
first
part
of
december.
H
We
will
see
what
what
is
left
and
then
and
then
look
for
direction
of
maybe
a
a
meeting
with
with
the
remainder
individuals
or
organizations
that
are
out
there
to
see
if
we
can
come
over
some
hurdles.
So
my
recommendation
is
to
to
show
them
the
value
in
in
our
service.
H
They
also
have
options
for
one
year
for
the
cares
act,
but
regardless,
if
they
don't
see
the
value
in
our
service,
we'd
like
them
to
to
just
look
and
see
what
what
if
they
get
their
service
somewhere
else,
if
they,
if
they
can't
I'd
like
to
come
to
some
sort
of
agreement,
I
think
in
this
day
and
age
we
can
work
through
these.
These
hurdles
and
and
with
with
everybody.
C
H
C
We
can't
leave
a
spot
where
there's
no,
I
mean
whether
it's
you
know
an
accident
or
a
you
know
anything
that
maybe
I
mean
these
are
farming
communities
they're
farming
areas,
especially
I
mean
most
of
the
townships,
are
very
rural.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
have
something
where
they're
concerned
about
not
not
having
someone
show
up.
You
know
whether
it's
a
cardiac
arrest
or
an
accident.
I
mean
there's
plenty
of
anything
else.
That's
out
there.
H
Exactly
we
we,
as
I
mentioned
in
the
slide
this
state,
there's
no
requirement
for
anybody
to
ex
to
to
provide
service.
We
don't
have
to
provide
service,
they
don't
have
to
accept
it,
but
we
are
asked
to
work
together
because
there's
no
other
funding
sources
out
there
up
and
down
the
the
federal,
the
state
anywhere
south
dakota's,
asking
ems
to
work
together
as
a
community
to
to
try
and
make
this
work.
So
that's
my
full
intention.
C
B
H
H
a
lot
of
them
a
lot
of
them
signed
in
without
any
any
dialogue
at
all,
and
then
others
others
reached
out
to
us
and
were
like
what
what's
this
about.
We
went
through
the
process
and
they
fully
understood
the
value
in
it.
So
it's
been
a
good
experience
and
working
with
him,
like
I
said,
if
I
could
have
done
things,
one
thing
better
has
been
reaching
out
sooner.
So
that's
my
quest,
my
response.
B
Of
the
questions
I
have
and
just
for
the
mayor
of
florence
and
the
mayor
of
henry
there
are
all
your
residents
aware
that
this
is
going
on.
Do
all
your
you
know,
when
you
guys
have
your
town
board
meetings,
do
they
your
citizens
show
up
and
are
they
all
the
citizens
informed
as
to
that
there
is
an
ambulance
issue
going
on
right
now
that
they
potentially
could
lose
service.
B
B
Yeah,
I
understand
that,
but
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
all
the
residents
are
aware
of.
What's
going
on
so
you're,
getting
all
your
input
from
your
residents,
you
know
as
to
what
direction
they
want
to
take.
Do
they
want
to
you
know,
sign
the
contract
or
do
they
want
to?
You
know
potentially
seek
an
outside
service
or
I'm
just
making
sure
everybody
is
informed
of
this.
You
know
so
they're
not
right
left
in
the.
D
I've
heard
from
both
positions
in
town,
one
is
don't
pay
it
find
another
route
and
the
other
one
is
just
pay
it.
So
that's
I
told
you
where
I'm
at
what
my
opinion
is.
I
can't
make
the
decision
for
the
board,
however,
so
otherwise
I
would
be
happy
to
do
it
tonight,
but
I'm
just
letting
you
know
that
there's
been
misinformation
and
that's
what's
gotten
us
to
this
point
and
we're
not
disputing
the
value
of
it.
D
Feel,
like
we've,
been
part
of
the
process
at
all,
and
you
mentioned
that
we
could
come
to
a
meeting
at
any
time,
but
everybody
here
knows
that.
That's
three
minutes.
Thank
you
for
your
comment.
Next,
there's
no
discussion,
no
action
taken
on
that.
That's
why
I
requested
to
be
on
the
agenda
and
I
just
had
a
public
comment.
We
know
that,
let's
not
kid
ourselves
so.
D
That's
just
another
thing
when
they
say
well,
you've
been
been
invited
to
meetings.
That
is
true,
but
is
disingenuous
not,
but
you
were
you've
been
more
than
helpful.
The
whole
council
has
to
move
the
meeting
or
the
agenda
up,
so
we
can
discuss
this.
So
in
regards
to
your
question,
I,
our
town
is
not
going
to
go
unprotected
one
way
or
the
other.
D
G
In
response
to
your
question
about
the
people
in
florence
we
were
at
the
last
meeting
in
september,
we
decided
we
would
send
a
letter
out
to
all
the
people
and
have
them
make
comments
to
us.
Well,
my
finance
officer
came
down
with
kovid,
so
that
put
a
kibosh
to
it.
She
finally
got
it
out
they're
supposed
to
be
giving
us
answers.
G
G
A
Can
convince
my
dad,
I
think,
for
so
we
know
what
to
do.
Nobody
wants
to
leave
you
high
and
dry
and
you're,
saying
you
want
our
service,
you
can't
afford
it.
Oh
I
get
that
and
I
know
you've
got
a
very
limited
budget
and
you're
scrappling,
just
like
we
are
trying
to
do
away
with
a
deficit.
A
So
I
mean
it's
got
the
greatest
population,
but
it
is
the
highest
amount
that
we
put
out
there.
So
I
think,
that's
reasonable.
I
think
that
it
shows
that
you
recognize
that
it
costs
money
that
when
we
go
out
to
florence
with
our
service,
it
costs
our
community
something
to
do
that
and
that
you're
willing
to
participate
in
the
cost
understanding
that
we're
picking
up
the
tab.
You
know,
above
and
beyond
the
revenue
that
we
get
back.
A
So
I
appreciate
that
very
much
and
I
I
think
I
I
would
like
to
hear
from
each
of
the
boards
that,
if,
if
they
want
the
service
but
they're
they're
unable
to
pay
the
amount
that
we're
requesting
what
is
fair,
what
are
they
able
to
provide
and-
and
that
would
that
would
help
us
too,
and
I
think
the
council
will
consider
that
very
seriously,
because
we
we
don't
want
to
put
you
in
a
hardship
position.
K
Thank
you
mayor,
and
we
thank
you
for
you
know
talking
with
us.
I
apologize
that
you're
both
going
to
be
late
for
your
meetings,
and
I
know
that,
but
I,
but
I
hope
you
appreciate
that
we
did
do
the
agenda
item
and
moved
it
up
and-
and
we
wanted
to
have
this
conversation,
and
I
think
it's
been
helpful.
K
K
A
A
B
B
Okay,
thank
you
mayor
this
one's
pretty
straightforward,
just
a
new
retail
malt
beverage
and
sd
wine.
The
only
thing
that
I
will
point
out
is
this
one
would
not
be
sent
to
the
state
for
final
approval
until
we
get
the
pending
board
of
adjustment
conditional
use,
permit
issued,
there's
any
questions
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
Otherwise,.
A
E
Refresh
my
memory
there
there
was
this
license
in
effect
when
the
the
previous
business
was
there
correct.
J
E
It
was-
and
this
has
to
go
before
the
boa,
because
it
was
longer
than
a
12-month
period
where
it
had
lapsed.
It's
been
several
years.
Okay,
so
the
boa
did
approve
it.
The
last
time
it
was
requested
with
the
previous
landowner.
A
A
A
H
A
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay,
motion
carries
item
c,
is
application
for
a
temporary
location
transfer
and
return
of
a
retail
on
sale,
liquor
license
owned
by
cloud.
Nine
golf
course
incorporated
doing
business
as
cloud.
Nine
golf
course
incorporated
as
follows:
a
for
the
period
of
four
o'clock
p.m:
october:
10,
2020
to
2
a.m;
october
11,
2020
from
625
20th
avenue
southeast
to
716
oakwood
road.
E
B
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
a
temporary
location
transfer.
The
only
thing
that
I
will
say
is
this
one
did
go
before
the
board
of
adjustment
for
approval
and
everything
checked
out
there
and
it's
for
a
private
event.
A
A
C
So
kristen,
if
you
can
refresh
my
memory
to
use
glenn's
on
something
like
that,
if
they
move
their
liquor,
license
they're
not
allowed
to
sell
liquor
at
their
current
establishment.
Correct,
that's
correct
yep,
so
they
would
have
to
close
that
one
to
be
able
to
sell
liquor
at
the
other.
One.
A
J
They
wouldn't
technically
have
to
close.
They
just
can't
serve
whatever
license
they're
transferring
temporarily.
It's
always
a
liquor
license.
They
can't
serve
liquor
and
if
they
have
another
beer
wine
license
attached
to
video
lottery,
which
I
suspect
cloud9
does.
They
can
still
serve
beer
and
wine.
They
just
can't
serve
liquor
during
that
time
frame.
E
Not
that
I'm
accusing
anybody
of
doing
this,
but
do
we
monitor
that
at
all
that
they
are,
in
effect,
shutting
down
that
portion
of
their
license
for
that
time
period?.
E
A
K
I
just
had
a
question
is:
is
it
pertinent?
I
don't
know
you
said
if
it's
for
a
private
function,
is
it
pertinent
for
the
public
to
know
what
that
private
function
is.
J
It
was
mentioned
publicly
it's
a
wedding
at
at
that
facility.
L
If
I
could
quickly-
just
not
necessarily
this
particular
case
but
as
an
example,
this
is
something
matt
and
I
just
recently
spoke
about
in
regards
to
these
special
event
licenses
that
we
also
entertain
for
beer
and
wine
consumption
at
any
location
throughout
town
approved
by
the
council.
L
The
the
thing
about
this
process
now
for
life
for
liquor
license
transfers
is
we're
having
to
do
this
special
day,
conditional
use
and
or
rezone
for
property
in
town
for
the
liquor
license
transfer.
So
if
it
were
okay
with
the
council,
that's
something
that
that
matt
and
I
could
work
together
on
because
of
the
rezone
issue.
L
It's
a
little
less
than
conventional
to
have
to
rezone
something
for
a
day
or
put
a
conditional
use
on
something
as
a
barn
tavern
for
a
day
where
we
maybe
have
a
better
solution
through
the
special
event
license
to
allow
the
liquor
component
to
be
plugged
into
that.
I
just
wanted
to
mention
to
that
for
conversation's
sake
tonight
as
well.
B
A
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
now.
This
is
going
to
sound
redundant
but
also
need
a
motion
on
moving
it
back
for
the
period
after
two
o'clock
am
october:
11
2020
from
716
oakwood
road
to
625,
20th
avenue
southeast
have
a
motion
bye
lollum
in
a
second
by,
what's
it
holding,
I
think
yep
and
I'm
going
to
open
the
public
hearing,
see
if
anyone's
here
to
speak
about
this.
So
please
come
forward,
see
no
one.
I
will
close
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
any
further
discussion
from
the
council
moving
it
back
all
right?
J
A
Those
opposed
signify,
we're
saying,
nay,
motion
carries.
Thank
you.
Item
d
is
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
20-36,
a
zoning
text,
amendment
to
chapter
21.28,
c3,
highway,
commercial
district
of
the
revised
ordinances
of
the
city
of
watertown
motion
by
vilhauer
and
a
second
by
helene
and
I'll.
Ask
public
works
director,
heath
von
I
to
introduce
this
topic.
L
L
This
would
amend
chapters
21.28
related
to
the
c3
zoning
district,
that's
the
highway
commercial
district
and
what
it
would
do
is
add
a
conditional
use
of
caretakers.
L
Now,
of
course,
all
conditional
uses
have
to
go
to
the
board
of
adjustment
for
approval
and
a
caretaker
residence
added
to
the
c3
district
for
conditional
use
stems
from
what
we
already
allow
in
the
i1
light.
Industrial
district
caretakers
residents
are
usually
hand
in
hand
with
contractor
shops
and
contractor
shops
are
also
allowed
by
conditional
use
in
the
c3
district
they're
also
allowed
in
the
I-1
district.
L
L
L
Normally,
what
we
see
is
a
residential
unit
incorporated
within
the
contractor
shop.
Brandy
is
online.
That's
brandi
hunt
the
urban
planner
and
brandy,
if
you
could
chime
in
on
that,
if
there's
any
other
stipulations
or
specifics
in
regards
to
how
the
residence
is
incorporated
with
the
contractor
shop.
B
Okay,
we
typically
do
ask
that
it
would
be
a
separate
unit
because
they
need
fire
protection
and
then
so
we
work
with
chip
primus
with
the
fire
department
and
he
reviews
their
site
plans
and
architectural
plans
for
that
and
make
sure
that
it's
protected,
for
it
has
the
proper
fire
protection.
L
B
L
B
Yep
so,
and
actually
I
can
read
the
definition:
it's
a
single
family
dwelling
unit
which
will
be
considered
an
accessory
used
to
the
primary
business.
The
individual
residing
at
this
residence
must
own
or
be
employed
by
the
business.
No,
how
many
home
occupations
will
be
allowed,
so
it
is
just
an
individual.
A
All
right,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
anyone
here
who
would
like
to
speak
about
this
item?
If
so,
please
state
your
name
for
the
record.
A
H
L
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
will
pull
up
share
my
screen,
a
map
reference
here,
that's
in
the
packet.
This
is
the
old
banquet
hall.
Building
that
used
to
exist
has
since
been
demoed,
and
a
new
foundation
is
being
constructed
here
on
this
property.
This
red
indicates
the
alley.
L
L
The
the
subsequent
owners
of
the
property
would
retain
a
public
access
easement
over
there
over
this
boundary
as
well
reason
being
it's
anticipated
that
a
drive-up
window
service
will
be
used
within
the
alley
and
so
that
public
access
easement
helps
to
accommodate
that,
along
with
any
foot,
traffic
or
pedestrian
traffic
that
may
want
to
come
through
here
in
the
future
council
recalls,
there's
a
plans
in
the
works
for
the
downtown
park
right
here
directly
to
the
east
of
this.
L
This
area,
that
is
the
gist
of
this
ali
vacate
request
and
we've
glad
to
entertain
any
questions.
A
A
E
One
question
just
to
clarify
that
any
costs
incurred
relative
to
maintaining
or
improving
that
alley
that
will
be
borne
by
the
homeowner
or
the
the
property
owners
developers
just
to
get
that
cleared
up.
L
Yes,
councilman
vilhauer,
so
the
the
alley,
ownership
and
maintenance
would
be
the
responsibility
of
the
future
owners
upon
vacation.
L
Now,
as
a
side
note,
there
are
some
terms
in
our
current
and
pending
later
here
tonight,
development
agreement
to
the
property
to
the
north,
where
there
is
a
small
cost
share
and
it
could
be
utilized
towards
the
surfacing
of
of
this
area.
I.
B
A
J
J
The
initial
rent
is
918
dollars
per
year
and
that
rate
increases
at
a
rate
of
two
percent
per
annum
over
the
life
of
the
lease,
and
this
lease
was
recommended
for
council
approval
by
the
airport
board
at
its
meeting
on
september
11th,
I
believe.
A
D
J
C
J
Yes,
I'd
have
to
pull
up
the
lease
here
again
to
refresh
my
memory,
but
there
is
the
lease
does
designate
to
the
airport
manager.
J
C
J
H
A
Those
opposed
signified
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
g
is
tax,
increment
district
number
12,
and
the
first
item
is
approval
of
resolution
number
20-44,
adopting
the
amended
boundaries
of
tax
increment
district
number
12
within
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota
motion
by
lollum
and
a
second
by
helene
and
I'll.
Ask
the
city
attorney
matt
roby,
to
explain
this.
Please.
J
Thank
you,
mayor
tax,
increment
district
12
was
approved
by
the
council
previously
approved
by
the
council
on
april
6th
of
this
year,
and
it
was
since
discovered
that
there
were
some
issues
with
the
original
legal
description,
and
so
what
this
action
is
simply
to
do
is
to
reformalize
the
plan
that
now
contains
the
correct
legal
description
as
just
a
refresher.
J
This
project.
This
is
the
project
across
the
street
to
the
south
south
east,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
5.9
million
dollar,
roughly
5.9
million
dollar
mixed
use
project
by
developer,
dressy
craig,
and
it's
going
to
generate
approximately
1.46
million
dollars
of
tax
increment
revenue.
E
I
think
you've
answered
it
matt,
but
in
looking
at
the
agenda,
so
tonight
we're
only
acting
on
the
amended
boundaries
because
we
actually
approved
this
tif
several
months
ago.
Correct.
J
Yes,
and
no,
this,
the
actual
start
date
of
this
will
take
effect
after
this
meeting,
so
it
has
not
been
formally
approved.
It
was.
It
was
kind
of
this
was
actually
caught
by
the
south
dakota
department
of
revenue,
and
they
basically
advised
us
to
just
take
it
back
through
the
entire
process
again
and
we'll
start
it
after
that,
so
really
you're
approving
it
for,
for
all
intents
and
purposes,
for
the
first
time
tonight,
but
this
was
previously
approved
just
with
an
incorrect
legal
description.
E
J
No
you're
approving
the
the
tif
district
as
a
whole,
including
the
plan,
and
that
includes
the
boundaries.
E
A
B
A
Those
posts
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
and
part
two
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
the
amended
development
agreement
between
the
city
of
watertown
and
parkside
place,
llc
for
tax
increment
district
number,
12.,
emotionally
lalum,
and
a
second
by
hoyer
and
matt.
You
want
to
explain
this
part
of
it
to
us.
Please.
J
Yes,
thanks
mayor,
so
in
the
in
the
past,
I
think
we've
approved
these
all
as
one
action,
but
we
did
separate
this
out,
so
the
agreement
just
basically
puts
into
effect
the
contra
into
into
a
contract
the
terms
of
the
tif
plan
that
was
just
approved,
but
the
one
piece
of
this-
it's
not
included
in
the
tip
plan-
is
that,
as
previously
agreed
to
by
the
city
there's
language
in
this
agreement
that
requires
the
city
to
reimburse
the
developer
for
18,
up
to
18
500
for
utility
improvements
and
up
to
45
500
for
sidewalk
and
alley
removal
and
replacement.
A
A
A
Oh,
that's
right,
good
that
you're
looking
I'm
glad
you're
checking
any
other
comments
or
questions
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
with
saying
aye
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item
h.
Is
approval
of
resolution
number
20-46
the
plot
of
prairie
wind
storage,
first
edition
to
the
municipality
of
watertown
in
the
county
of
coddington
south
dakota
motion
by
bill
howard,
second,
by
rademski
and
I'll
ask
public
works
director,
heath
von
I
to
explain
this.
L
Thank
you
mayor
before
the
council
tonight
is
a
fairly
straightforward,
plat
being
proposed
that,
for
the
main
part
coming
through
conventionally
because
of
a
small
designation
of
right-of-way,
this
otherwise
probably
could
be,
could
have
been
handled
administratively,
but
because
of
a
designation
of
right-of-way,
it
has
to
go
through
the
conventional
planting
process.
With
both
boards
approvals,
I
will
pull
up
a.
L
A
E
I
I
do
have
a
question,
because
the
only
thing
that's
been
expressed
to
me,
since
we
approved
the
rezone
two
weeks
ago,
is
that
access
on
to
south
lake
drive
what
what
becomes
of
that.
I
mean
that
that
will
remain
where
it
is
and
be
utilized.
As
that
development
progresses
out
there.
L
Yeah
so
councilman
vilhart
to
that
point.
This
essentially
becomes
part
of
this
lot.
One,
and
this
access
essentially
would
become
the
private
driveway
for
this
residential
lot
at
the
point
in
time
in
future,
when
this
lot
develops
residentially,
so
there
wouldn't
be
any
public
right-of-way
here.
This
would
be
an
extension
of
this
lot,
which
would
really
essentially
function.
L
E
So
so
so
there
there
would
be
no
use
of
that
in
in
the
rest
of
that
plant
out
there
for
the
storage
sheds
that
are
going
in,
that
would
all
be
accessed
off
54th
street.
L
L
This
I'll
note
is
the
7
foot
additional
public
right-of-way,
that's
being
dedicated
as
a
as
a
function
of
this
plot.
There's
currently
33
feet
from
center
line,
so
66
foot
total
right
away
that
exists
today,
and
we
asked
for
this
additional
seven
feet,
because
this
is
likely
going
to
be
a
collector
in
the
future
based
on
our
transportation.
L
Master
planning
and
collector
street
requires
a
minimum
of
80
foot
right
away.
So
this
seven
foot
accommodates
the
west
half
of
the
needed
right
away
in
the
future.
E
Because
the
the
fear
was
that
that
private
drive
as
you
described
it
could
was
going
to
be.
You
end
up
being
used
by
people
having
the
storage
units
in
the
back
there.
But
that
is
not
the
case.
A
So
is
there
something
that
maybe
the
city
attorney
can
comment
on
this
that
can
clarify?
This
is
a
lot.
One
is
a
single
family
zoning
right,
the
commercial
zoning
is
on
a
different
lot,
so
this
is
kind
of
what
happened
similar
to
what
happened
up
in
stony
point
where
there
was
access
for
a
single
family
lot,
which
was
then
purchased
by
somebody
who
owned
a
jain
adjoining
property,
and
then
the
access
was
contended
that
it
gave
access
to
everything
that
person
owned,
not
just
the
original
single-family
lot
so
matt
can.
J
I
don't
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
that
off
offhand.
I'd
have
to
do
some
research.
A
A
Okay,
brandi,
you
have
your
hand
up
granny
hat
in
the
urban
planner.
B
A
You
certainly
could
it
doesn't.
I
mean
the
access
is
just
vague,
but
it
could
be
sometimes
platts
have
very
explicit
access
that
access
to
lot
one
is
via
south
lake
drive,
and
that
I
guess,
is
that
lot
too,
where
the,
where
the
units
are
going
and
it
could
even
you
could
even
specify
if
that
was
a
concern
that
lot
two
shall
have.
No
access
to
south
lake
drive
directly
through
lot.
One
or
no.
You
know
if
you
wanted
to
say
something.
E
If
we
could,
if
we
can
do
that,
I
would
like
to
to
amend
our
motion.
A
I
actually
prefer
platts
to
be
written
that
way,
so
that
this
doesn't
come
up
as
a
mystery
everybody's
gone
there's
a
new
person
involved
and
the
driveway's
just
granted
right
over
to
the
units,
and
you
know
nobody
expected
that,
but
it's
a
staff
member
that
didn't
see
any
wasn't
here
when
it
was
planted.
You
know,
so
I
I
think
that's
good
to
be
clear.
A
Do
you
want
to?
I
think
you
can
just
include
that
in
the
motion
who.
A
A
So,
let's
see
you
did
oh.
A
B
Here
it's
don
okay,
this
time
and
it's
for
real
okay
as
an
owner
of
prairie
winds.
I
should
recuse
myself
from
this
one.
Thank.
G
D
B
L
Yeah
to
that
point,
councilman
albertson,
the
the
design
standards
and
the
subdivision
regulations
do
allow
residential
lots
having
access
or
frontage
to
a
street
by
by
way
of
a
private
driveway
and
then
there's
subsequent
fire
code
that
the
fire
department
would
be
involved
in
with
any
plan
review
for
the
development
of
this
lot,
just
to
make
sure
that
they
that
all
their
apparatus,
access
and
mobility
is
is
met
as
well.
So
that's
a
good
point
and
we
will
note
that
too
for
future
notes
when
we
review
any
development
on
this
lot.
A
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
item
j
is
consideration
of
increasing
the
city
contribution
toward
fill-in
and
replacement
sidewalks,
and
I
put
this
on
myself
because
we're
about
to
be
ordering
sidewalks
in
which
we've
done
many
times
in
the
past,
but
it's
been
a
while,
since
we
increased
the
city's
contribution
for
as
at
least
back
to
like
2007,
I've
been
aware
of
the
city
contributing
toward
the
construction
cost
on
sidewalks.
A
We
formalized
that
process
with
a
policy
in
2011
and
then
we
modified
it
in
2015.
But
the
contribution
has
remained
at
two
dollars
a
square
foot
and
it
was
two
dollars
a
square
foot.
One
sidewalk
construction
was
about
four
dollars
a
square
foot,
so
it
was
about
half
at
in
the
beginning
and
right
now,
sidewalks
are
quite
a
bit
more
than
that
and
you
know
they.
A
It
varies
from
project
to
project,
but
it's
not
uncommon
to
see
12
14
a
square
foot
on
some
sidewalk
project,
so
they're
not
all
like
that.
You
still
see
a
five
dollar
one
here
and
there
and
but
there's
removal
involved
too.
So
I'm
suggesting
that
we
increase
the
contribution
up
to
and
double
it
to
four
dollars
a
square
foot.
A
C
Quick
question
on
that,
so
we're
looking
at
doing
this
for
anyone.
That's.
A
It
not
even
just
ordering
it
in
I'm
suggesting
it
because
we're
about
to
okay,
but
the
policy
applies
to
anybody.
That's
fixing
their
sidewalk
that
needs
repair
or
that
has
fill
in
sidewalk.
That
wasn't
ordered
like
now.
When
you
build
a
house,
you're
required
to
put
your
sidewalk
in
and
if
that
was
part
of
your
development
agreement,
which
we
have
and
new
developments.
A
No,
you
don't
get
a
cost
share,
that's
a
cost
that
the
developer
is
supposed
to
bear
and
he
passes
it
or
she
on
to
the
homeowner
that
develops
there,
so
it
wouldn't
apply
to
that.
But
in
the
older
neighborhoods
we
didn't
have
these
agreements
in
place,
and
so
we
do
have
gaps
in
our
sidewalk.
And
if
someone
wants
to
fill
that
gap,
we
want
to
help
them
because
that's
a
benefit
to
everybody.
A
So
that's
the
purpose
of
it.
The
the
policy
wouldn't
change
it's
except
for
the
price
and
that's
in
the
council
packet
tells
when
and
what
we
contribute
to
so
those
little
sidewalks
that
go
from
the
curb
to
the
main
sidewalk.
We
don't
cost
share
on
that
we're
just
talking
about
the
sidewalk.
That's
in
the
public
right-of-way,
that's
you
know
going
from
one
across
the
frontage
of
a
lot.
C
Quick
question:
I
got
how
much
of
that
16
000
is
being
utilized
now.
L
So
councilman,
on
average
we,
the
city
engineering
office,
holds
back
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
of
our
sidewalk
replacement
budget
annually
and,
depending
on
the
year,
we've
we've
issued
anywhere
from
ten
to
twenty
thousand
dollars
worth
of
reimbursements.
So
the
average
is
about
that.
Sixteen
thousand
that's
getting
utilized
by
the
residents
so.
L
A
A
K
A
J
Thanks
mayor,
so
essentially
what
this
schedule
is
is
a
list
of
ordinance
violations
that
are
routinely
issued
by
the
police
department
and
after
approval.
If
the
council
approves
this
evening,
it
will
be
sent
off
to
the
presiding
judge
of
the
third
circuit
to
approve
and
the
reason
it's
here
in
front
of
you
this
evening
is
because
the
legislature
recently
added
10
to
the
costs
that
we
need
to
collect
every
time,
there's
an
ordinance
violation,
so
it
go.
J
It
went
up
from
62.50
to
72.50,
so
the
council,
I
believe,
re
approved
this
last
year
two
years
ago,
was
the
last
time
it
was
approved.
Same
violations
are
on
there
same
fine
amounts.
The
only
difference
is
an
increase
in
court
costs.
J
On
the
court
cost,
the
court
cost
piece
of
it
is
is
indicated
by
statute.
The
fines
are
are
chosen
by
the
city,
and
so
that's
been
something
that's
been
standard.
Over
the
years,
the
chief
of
police
essentially
weighs
in
heavily
on
these
amounts,
and
and
that's
that's,
how
they
get
set.
Thank
you.
J
So
yeah
the
fine
amounts.
So
I
guess
there's
two
pieces
to
this:
a
statute
allows
cities
to
charge
up
to
200.
Excuse
me
up
to
500
and
30
days
in
jail
for
a
violation
of
city
ordinance.
Currently
our
ordinance
only
allows
up
200,
and
so
within
that
200.
J
These
are
tickets
that
are
routinely
issued,
and
so,
rather
than
having
to
have
everybody
appear
in
court
for
a
speeding
ticket,
for
example,
they
can
just
send
in
this
amount,
and
so
that
amount
includes
the
fine
as
well
as
a
fine
as
well
as
the
court
costs.
If
you
issued
a
citation
or
if
you're,
if
you're
issued
a
complaint
for
a
violation
of
another
type
of
city
ordinance,
that's
not
on
this
list.
The
court
appearance
is
required.
So
essentially
anything
not
on
this
list.
The
court
appearance
is
required.
E
J
The
cost
goes
to
the
state
and
gets
distributed.
Okay
according
to
those
statutes.
The
fine
comes
to
the
city,
okay,
okay,.
A
J
J
Yeah,
so
so
previously,
so
let's
take
a
speeding
ticket.
For
example,
if
the
speeding
ticket
was
110.
Currently
it's
100.
If
you
get
a
speeding
ticket,
it's
170
250
110
of
that
is
a
fine
62.50.
Is
a
his
court
costs
now
that
cost
will
be
180
250
rather
than
170
250..
The
fine
amounts
the
same.
The
court
costs
have
gone
up.
J
H
A
J
Mayor,
yes,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
one
thing
that
councilman
lalum
asked
about
the.
J
The
airport
lease-
and
I
just
wanted
to
get
that
specific
language,
so
there
is
language
in
there.
You
know
it
doesn't
talk
about
specific
colors
or
construction
or
anything
like
that,
but
it
is
subject
to
the
approval
of
the
airport
manager.
J
J
Sorry,
a
new
business-
I
I
apologize.
I
just
wanted
to
follow
up
on
one
more
piece
that
heath
brought
up
during
the
discussion
from
the
liquor
license
transfer.
I
just
wanted
to
get
a
little
bit
more
quick
discussion
on
whether
the
council
is
interested
in
pursuing
that
idea.
J
So
just
a
quick,
brief,
quick
history
at
some
point,
the
legislature
allowed
cities
to
adopt
these
special
event
licenses
and
their
special
event
licenses
for
beer
and
wine
and
liquor
well,
the
city
for
whatever
reason
when
we
first
adopted
those
licenses
chose
not
to
adopt
the
special
event
liquor
license,
and
so
it's
something
that
is
it's
out
there.
J
If
the
council
chose
to
adopt
that
special
event,
liquor
license,
you
wouldn't
have
to
go
to
a
current
license.
Holder,
boys
and
girls
club,
for
example,
can
just
come
apply
for
that
special
event
license
outright
and
not
include
a
current
license
holder.
So
if
the
council
is
interested
in
that
we
can
bring
that
forward,
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
just
see
if
that's
something
that
one
that
you
want
to
be
brought
forward.
A
C
Lollum,
the
only
thing
on
that
I'd
like
to
know
like
some
of
the
logistics
as
far
as
insurance
and-
and
you
know
what
the
liabilities
are
for-
anyone
that
does
that
I
mean.
Obviously,
typically
you
got
to
have
insurance
on
whatever
event
you're
going
to
have,
but
you
know
does
that
fall
to
the
liquor
liquor
license
owner
or
the
person
that
goes
to
apply.
So
those
will
be
part
of
the
discussion
matt
going
forward.
B
Oh,
the
continued
necessity
of
the
pandemic
outbreak
of
nova
corona.
A
A
I
think
it
was
just
on
the
agenda,
okay
and
unless
it
expired
after
a
certain
number
of
months
yeah,
so
we
just
missed
that.
Does
anybody
think
that
we
should
be
modifying
anything
okay,
good
catch,
jason,.
B
A
A
Like
most
organizations,
they
have
people
out
with
kovid
they've
been
short-handed
when
you
go
out
with
covid
you're
gone
for
a
long
time
and
if
you're
having
to
go
on
quarantine
because
of
an
exposure,
it's
putting
it's
putting
a
strain
on
the
staff,
so
we
may
have
plenty
of
hospital
beds.
We
just
don't
have
plenty
of
health
care
workers
to
take
care
of
the
people
in
the
beds.
A
Right
now
we
don't
have
a
problem,
but
that
that
has
reached
a
point
where
the
unified
command
team
wants
to
reiterate
that
we
should
all
be
wearing
masks
whenever
we're
in
proximity
with
other
people,
and
the
incident
commanders
have
agreed
to
do
that.
That's
why
I'm
wearing
a
mask
today.
I
have
made
a
commitment
to
wear
one.
Whenever
I'm,
you
know-
and
I
we're
maybe
six
feet
apart,
but
we've
been
sitting
here
since
four
o'clock
and
it
is
now
almost
eight
so
four
hours
of
of
maybe
seven
feet
apart
there.
A
We
don't
know,
but
it
certainly
won't
hurt
so
they're
asking
everyone
to
be
vigilant
about
their
efforts
so
that
we
don't
get
to
the
point
where
our
hospital
staff
cannot
keep
up
with
the
number
of
people
needing
their
attention
and
we
do
have
we
we
hit
the
1000
threshold
in
our
county.
We
now
have
had
one
thousand
one
cases
of
covid
in
connington
county
and
seven
deaths,
currently
198
active
cases
which
is
very
high,
but
not
a
record
and
active
in
our
region.
E
I
do
have
one
I
had
a
unique
opportunity
here
that
I
would
encourage
my
my
colleagues
up
here
to
take
advantage
of,
and
I
think,
don
robert
you
may
have
done
this
in
the
past.
I
had
a
four-hour
ride
along
with
one
of
our
police
department
personnel
a
week
ago,
friday
night
very
enlightening
experience.
E
In
fact,
I
got
involved
in
or
shouldn't
they
involve
but
tagged
along
on
a
drug
arrest
and
saw
that
individually
got
processed
so
anyway,
I
want
to
thank
the
police
department
for
that
opportunity
and
encourage
any
of
you
that
may
be
so
inclined
to
do
so
at
some
point,
because
it
is
an
eye-opening
experience.
K
L
No
pressure
there
right,
thank
you
councilman
holland,
so
we
we've
got
the
grant
in
process
to
be
formally
awarded
to
the
city.
Yet
for
the
terminal
and
in
case
anybody's
wondering
what
the
lag
time
is
there
or
what
the
expectation
is,
we
did
not
have
that
grant
award
in
hand
yet,
but
through
the
airport,
manager's
discussion
with
the
faa
and
phone
conversations
that
he
and
I
have
had
with
the
faa,
they're,
shooting
and
hopeful
and
planning
to
get
that
awarded
to
us
by
october.
19Th.
L
That's
not
a
hard
fast
committed
date,
that's
just
what
they
verbally
expressed
to
us.
What
we've
ran
into
is
in
mid
to
late
september.
The
faas
fiscal
year
ends
and
our
recent
tentative
bid
award
for
the
new
terminal,
which
included
a
change
order
to
include
a
bunch
of
apron
work.
So
we
could
maximize
our
grant
amount
that
pushed
our
submittal
in
right
to
the
right
to
the
end
timeline
for
this
previous
fiscal
year.
L
It
didn't
quite
make
it
in
time
for
them
to
process
everything
in
this
fiscal
year
and
their
systems
literally
shut
down,
and
they
can't
process
any
further
until
october
13th
west.
That's
when
the
faa's
new
fiscal
year
starts
is
on
october
13th
and
the
regional
fa
manager
has
verbally
committed
to
us
to
get
us.
Ours
turned
around
as
soon
as
possible
once
the
new
fiscal
system
is
up
and
running,
so
we
hope
to
have
that
in
hand
by
october,
19th
or
very
soon
thereafter,
and
that's
kind
of
where
we're
at
in
the
timeline.
