A
D
B
C
Garrett's
dog,
yes
again,
I'm
on
the
line.
This
is
councilman
Don
Roby
I
want
to
disclose
I,
have
a
potential
conflict
here
as
a
part
of
one
of
our
liquor
license.
There
is
a
potential
conflict
in
this
situation.
Under
this
scenario,
I
plan
on
voting
on
this
issue,
but
I
want
to
disclose
the
conflict
and
I'll
be
very
respectful
of
paying
the
colleagues
or
people
in
the
room
have
an
issue
with
that.
I'd
like
to
hear
about
that,
but
I
plan
on
voting
and
I'll
take
input
on
that.
A
Like
to
just
let
the
public
know
that
this
is
we're
not
trying
to
limit
businesses,
we're
just
trying
to
limit
interaction
between
people,
so
please
provide
if
you're,
providing
takeout
services
and
things
of
that
nature.
Please
continue
to
do
that.
We
don't
want
to
cause
any
hardships
on
the
actual
financials.
At
the
same
time,
we
got
to
respect
the
fact
that
we're
done
precedent
time
and
we
we
have
to
do
unprecedent
measures
to
get
there.
Thank.
E
I'm,
just
gonna
back
that
up
to
kind
of
drive
at
home
I
know
a
lot
of
us
have
already
put
things
like
this
into
play.
Just
to
remind
the
public.
The
CDC
is
good,
with
takeout
you're,
still
good
to
be
doing.
Takeout,
curbside
delivery.
That's
still!
Ok,
just
as
you
receive
things
wash
your
hands
proper
sanitary
practices,
but
don't
feel
like
you're
discouraged
from
still
going
out
getting
takeout,
you
can
still
get
delivery.
That's
still
a
hundred
percent
good
to
go
and
ok
sees
a
little
common
sense
here.
E
E
B
F
You
Man
I
also
just
want
to
say
that
the
City
Council
will
lose
meaning
in
two
weeks
from
today,
and
at
that
point
we
hope
that
this
resolution
will
be
amended.
Revised,
hopefully
we'll
be
getting
some
good
news.
We
can
look
at
it
all
fresh,
but
in
two
weeks
from
today,
which
was
also
coinciding
with
the
time
limit
that
the
CDC
recommends
for
limiting
public
interaction.
This
seems
to
work
out
pretty
well
for
the
city
of
Watertown.
E
C
B
G
G
Tanner
from
kwa
ETI,
this
is
not
meant
to
be
adversarial,
but
I
have
a
question,
and
that
is,
if
you're,
making
a
decision
like
this.
That
is
going
to
impact
so
many
people
personally
by
closing
down
businesses
and
maybe
Matt.
This
question
would
be
directed
toward
you.
Why
was
this
allowed
to
be
done
in
executive
session,
because
I
think
any
decision
that's
being
made
during
this
pandemic
needs
to
be
extremely
transparent,
especially
when
you
are
talking
about
people's
livelihoods.
Sure.
A
And
to
put
from
the
council
aspect
of
it,
you
know
this
is
something
that
we've
we've
talked
about
and
trying
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
eliminate.
You
know
work
very
closely
matching
Hurons
that
is
was
implemented
at
their
council
meeting
as
well
as
I
believe
there's
other
state
there's
other
communities
in
Watertown
are
in
South
Dakota
that
are
going
to
be
doing
the
same
type
of
implementation.
I
know
that
Sioux
Falls
has
started
to
look
at
some
of
those
great
charmagne.
G
G
B
We
are
feeling
under
pressure
because
of
the
presence
of
kovin
19
in
our
County
right
now,
and
we
feel
like
time
is
of
the
essence.
Every
day
this
virus
multiplies
so
quickly
that
we
we
just
feel
it
would
be
more
productive
to
act
now
and
amend
later.
If
we
find
we've
made
a
mistake
and
people
hate
it
rather
than
wait
and
let
others
get
sick
and
the
virus
spread,
so
we're
trying
to
be
proactive
and
aggressive
cults,
Mahalo
I
think.
D
Mike
from
a
practical
standpoint,
the
conversation
we're
having
right
now
pretty
well
summarized
are
pretty
well
States,
the
same
thing
that
we
had
an
executive
session.
There
was
nothing
said,
an
executive
session
that
we're
not
saying
now
no
intent
whatsoever
not
to
deceive
the
public
in
any
way,
shape
or
form,
but.
B
We
understand
that
and-
and
this
is
an
extraordinary
action
for
extraordinary
times-
we've
never
faced
this
before
and
we
felt
this
was
necessary
if
people
believe
it's
too
harsh
by
all
means
bring
it
on,
and
we
will
entertain
that
we
can
change
it
as
quickly
as
we
enacted
it.
Councilman
Hoyer
Mike.
E
I
would
just
toss
out
too
I
mean
we
talked
about
risking
people's
livelihoods,
jobs
going
away
stuff
like
that.
Manufacturing
is
already
determined
essential
under
this,
so
it
doesn't
affect
them
so
as
of
right
now,
that's
up
to
their
employer
what
they
want
to
do.
They're.
Looking
at
the
service
industry,
I
myself,
I,
you
know
I
work
in
the
service
industry
as
well.
Most
of
them
have
already
been
in
acting
take
out
and
those
different
venues
of
still
making
it
work.
The
public
has
been
pretty
receptive
to
that
to
help
aid
us
through
it.
E
You
know
it
goes
back
to
the
public
still
taken
advantage
of
it.
It's
scary
stuff,
but
we're
not
closing
businesses.
It's
on
site,
I
mean
liquor
stores,
South
Dakota
has
drive
up
liquor
stores
it.
So
if
you're
worried
about
that,
that's
still
open
all
your
food,
that's
still
willing
to
do
takeout,
that's
all
open,
it's
just
preventing
us
from
going
in
doors
and
congregating.
More
than
anything
I
mean
our
local
churches
have
already
pulled
the
plug
on
people
congregating.
E
So
it's
just
reflecting
that
down
from
up
here
as
well
that
we
view
that
as
a
positive
decision
to
make
as
a
community
there's
more
measures
that
we're
looking
to
take
to
just
to
help
get
people
through
this.
It's
it's
a
lot
and
it's
scary.
But
again
we
can
always
make
more
money.
We
can
figure
out
things
to
take
care
of
people.
We
can't
bring.
We
can't
make
people
healthy
automatically.
We
can
get
a
life
back
if
we
lose
somebody.
So
the
gravity
of
this
is
bigger
than
the
short-term
bump.
G
G
B
B
Yes,
we
discussed
numerous
different
things
in
executive
session
and
this
is
an
action
that
we
discussed
actually
in
the
open
before
we
went
in
and
really
I
won't
tell
you
what
we
talked
about
an
executive
session,
but
we
felt
this
is
the
right
thing
to
do
for
our
community
and
will
take
the
consequences,
putting
health
and
safety
above
everything
else.
Consummate.
B
A
Say
from
for
my
aspects,
it
takes
2
to
14
days
for
the
symptoms
to
show
up
now
we
do
have
a
confirmed
case
and
in
kind
of
new
County
you
know,
I
mean
it's
gonna,
be
one
of
those
that
most
people
won't
even
know
they
have
it
until
they
potentially
come
down
and
get
tested
for
it.
So
for
me
personally,
it
takes
you
know
the
2
to
14
days,
plus
it
takes
on
average
anywhere
from
3
to
5
or
6
days
to
get
it
back
from
the
labs.
A
I
mean
you're
talking
a
three
week
window
by
the
time,
you're
all
said
and
done,
and
I'd
rather
we're
in
the
site
Akash,
and
that's
why
we
would
look
at
it
at
our
next
council
meeting.
It
is
an
unprecedented
move,
but
at
the
same
time,
we're
just
trying
to
look
at
a
community
health
and
I
can't
bring
anyone
back.
I
mean
we
try
to
spend
money
wherever
you
can
to
help
out,
but
I
can't
bring
people
back
from
from
beyond.
G
G
D
B
F
You
Mary,
yes,
in
light
of
the
current
health
crisis
that
we
are
facing,
we
want
to
acknowledge
that
there
are
very
real
economic
repercussions
as
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
are
going
to
be
losing
jobs
losing
their
level
of
employment
in
the
city
of
Watertown
wants
to
do
whatever
we
can
to
help
these
families.
These
individuals
get
through
this
hard
time
and
keep
our
community
strong.
So
in
light
of
that,
we
would
like
or
I
guess.
H
You
me
hearing
councilmembers
over
the
past
couple
weeks
as
this
has
been
coming
about.
We
wanted
to
come
up
with
an
idea
that
could
help
bridge
the
gap
between
now
with
what's
happening
and
when
final
SBA
regulations
and
under
other
federal
programs
are
available
to
people
in
small
business
once
we
want
to
get
through
this
part.
So
now,
we've
had
other
private
enterprises
offer
up
donations
as
well
so
it'll,
be
a
public-private
partnership
in
this
loan
fund.
I
believe
we're
on
the
utility's
agenda
next
Monday
as
well
to
have
the
same
request
to
them.
