City Council Meeting - 05-04-2020

Of
those
who
serve
and
we're
mindful
of
so
many
they're
working
hard
to
provide
for
our
community,
our
grocers
are
the
volunteers
that
is
distributing
the
food
to
those
in
need,
and
so
many
more
offering
rides
and
and
so
on.
It's
we're
certainly
blessed
to
be
a
part
of
this
community,
and
we
do
thank
you
as
we
come
to
this
time
now.
During
this
meeting,
we
ask
for
guidance
for
wisdom
and
understanding,
and
we
thank
you
for.

If
we
are
concerned
about
attracting
people
to
work
here,
maybe
we
should
look
into
a
wage
study
to
pay
people
to
do
their
job,
because
now,
but
another
engineering
staff
member
is
leaving
the
previous
one
looks
more
of
a
joke.
Actions
have
consequences,
and
these
ill-paid
decisions
have
caught
the
city
enough
I'm
asking
the
City
Council
for
change,
starting
at
the
top.
We
need
you
to
protect
the
citizens.

Thank
You
mayor
council:
this
is
the
preliminary
financials
for
2019.
These
are
the
unaudited
numbers.
I'll
just
go
through
a
few
things
quickly.
If
there's
any
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
In
regards
to
the
general
fund
and
the
Capital
Improvement
Fund
2019
was
a
year
of
strong
sales
tax
revenue
that
was
really
good
to
see.
The
biggest
thing
to
point
out
is:
if
you
go
towards
the
bottom
of
the
report,
where
it
says
the
increase
in
decrease
in
fund
balance,
the
general
fund
decrease
the
fund
belts
around
two
hundred.
E
Sixty
two
thousand
was
that
we
kind
of
knew
we
were
gonna
gonna,
see
that
so
there's
nothing
too.
Concerning
there,
the
castle
improvement
fund
actually
increased
the
fund
balance
by
about
1.8
million
a
lot
of
times
with
the
capital
improvement
fund.
It's
not
so
much
that
there
was
leftover
money,
it's
more
the
timing
of
the
construction
projects,
so
that
will
sit
in
the
fund
balance,
but
we
also
had
a
large
carryover
during
the
last
council
meeting
where
a
lot
of
those
projects
were
moved
forward
at
2020.
E
The
other
thing
to
point
out
is
other
governmental
funds
column
that
column
holds
the
park
and
Rec
fund
the
BBB,
the
Wellness
Center.
You
don't
get
to
see
as
much
of
the
detail
until
the
final
report
comes
out,
but
I
do
want
to
point
out
that
the
Park
and
Rec
saw
an
increase
to
the
fund
balance
of
around
56,000.
The
Wellness
Center
was
an
increase
of
around
183
thousand
and
the
BBB
was
close
to
a
$50,000
increase.
So
all
of
those
were
strong
increases
to
the
fund
balance.
E
E
It's
broken
down
by
the
governmental
fund
funds,
long-term
debt,
as
well
as
Enterprise,
so
between
the
two
of
them
were
around
53
million
of
debt
and
then
the
very
bottom
show
the
current
bank
balance
for
cash
and
where
those
funds
are
located
in
what
bank?
If
there's
any
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
Otherwise,
this
is
just
the
preliminary
presentation
of
the
financials
Thanks
Thank.
F
Just
a
few
comments,
Kristen
or
her
group
pleasantly
surprised.
Even
there
was
a
small,
a
small
decrease,
pleasantly
surprised
and
the
general
fund
figure
for
the
year
compared
what
was
budgeted
when
we
went
into
2019.
So
that
was
a
pleasant
surprise.
Is
it
a
fair
statement
Kristen
that
the
the
unassigned
fund
balance
I'm,
looking
at
the
general
fund
at
column,
now
of
about
6.2
million,
that's
going
to
probably
become
a
fairly
significant
factor
in
our
future
budgeting.
Is
that
would
you
concur
with
that
statement,
Kristen
that.
E
F
And
then
just
one
more
kind
of
a
comment
you
referred
to
the
total
cash
figure,
64
million
I
mean
the
public
sees
that
think.
Wow
we're
just
a
flush
or
rich
with
cash,
but
again
most
of
that
is
designated
for
any
number
of
things
that
we
cannot
spend
on
for
just
general
fund
operations
so
before
people
think
that
we're
filthy,
rich
here
in
the
community.
That
is
not
the
case,
because
that
money
is
designated
for
any
number
of
purposes.
E
That's
that's
a
very,
very
true
statement.
A
lot
of
our
restrictions
deal
with
our
debt.
We
have
to
keep
a
certain
amount
restricted
to
make
sure
we
are
covering
the
highest
debt
payment
on
our
bond
as
well
as
a
few
of
our
loans.
So
it
looks
like
a
lot,
but
a
lot
of
it
is
set
aside
for
specific
restrictions.
B
Not
seeing
any
okay
so
we'll
move
on
to
item
8b,
which
is
malt
beverage
on
off
sale,
license
renewal
for
discount
liquors
Inc,
doing
business
as
discount
liquors,
125,
9th
Avenue,
Southeast,
Lots
8
through
10
and
vacated
alley,
and
black
7
Martin's
Railway
edition
have
a
motion
by
Helene
second
by
Hoyer
and
is
there
any
discussion.
I
would
like
Kristin
to
tell
us
about
this
one
before
I
open
the
public
hearing.
E
Okay,
Thank
You
mayor
this
item
is
before
you.
There
was
a
violation
on
this.
It
was
for
a
underage
on
sale.
I
do
want
to
point
out,
though,
that
they
did
come
before
the
council
in
November
of
2019
when
their
liquor,
renewal,
I
came
up,
so
they
have
been
here
too.
I.
Think
answer
any
of
your
questions
that
you
had
at
this
time,
but
this
is
for
the
malt
beverage
piece
of
the
license
and
it's
required
to
have
a
public
hearing
when
there's
a
violation
on
any
one
of
the
licenses.
Oh
okay,
thank.
B
You
at
this
time
I
will
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
and
see
if
anyone
is
here
to
speak
about
this.
If
so,
please
state
your
name
into
the
microphone.
You
might
have
to
press
star
six
to
unmute
yourself
if
you've
called
in.
But
if
anyone
would
like
to
speak,
please
state
your
name
and
say:
request
permission
to
speak.
G
Just
toss
out
kind
of
a
refresher,
a
guy
I
know
most,
the
council
remembers
what
was
told
to
us,
but
they
took
measures
after
that
violation
to
correct
everything
that
had
happened
and
fix
their
process.
So
just
remind
the
public
that
this
was
addressed
back
in
November
again,
as
was
said,
but
they
took
a
lot
of
steps
to
make
sure
they
were
doing
the
right
thing
from
now.
So
that's.
B
C
E
E
G
C
E
C
B
D
Thank
You
mayor
good
evening,
everybody
this
action
before
you
tonight
for
councils.
Consideration
is
a
vacation
of
a
portion
of
right
away,
that
is
on
a
stretch
of
14th
Street
Southwest
and
also
known
as
Oakwood
Road.
This
portion
er
right
away
that
as
it
exists
today
is
it's
pretty
wide.
It's
100
foot
wide
right
away
as
it
exists
today
for
this
type
of
a
street
section.
We
would
typically
see
a
66
foot
wide
right
away.
The
adjacent
property
owner
is
David,
readlyn
he's
acting
agent
for
DPC
properties
and
well.
D
We
have
a
situation
where
there
was
some
vacated,
railroad
right
away
that
was
purchased
and
wants
to
be
developed
and
in
order
to
help
accommodate
that
development,
a
vacation
of
a
portion
of
our
Street
right
away
is
being
asked
for.
So
this
has
been
reviewed
by
staff.
We
follow
our
procedures
and
protocol
for
the
vacation
of
rights,
away
that
we've
established
in
the
engineering
division
of
Public
Works
and
brandy
Hansen.
D
The
urban
planner
has
processed
this
application
through
the
Planning
Commission
as
well,
and
they
unanimously
voted
in
support
of
the
vacate
at
the
April
23rd
Planning
Commission
meeting
I
do
have
some
maps
here.
I
can
pull
up
and
share
with
the
group
if
you'd
like
that
right
now,
I
can
do
that
mayor.
Sure.
B
D
D
So
this
is
the
intersection
of
4th
Avenue,
Southwest
and
Oakwood
Road.
This
is
a
portion
of
Tareq's
property.
This
is
a
t-rex
paint
booth
down
here.
The
southwest
corner,
Oakwood
Road
curves
and
then
runs
straight
south
and
I
believe
this
is
this.
North-South
street
is
also
known
as
14th
Street
Southwest.
So
this
right
away
here
is
what
it
is:
we're
contemplating
vacating
this
red
outline-
and
it's
also
displayed
on
this-
exhibit
the
hatched
area
is
what
it
is.
We'd
be
vacating.
D
D
You
can
see
those
dimensions,
56
foot
wide
right
away.
It
does
widen
out,
as
you
come
up
with
the
intersection
of
4th
Avenue
up
to
73
feet,
that's
to
accommodate
for
the
curvilinear
alignments
tying
into
four
and
gives
us
adequate
right
away
that
we
need
I'd,
also
know
that
we
are
retaining
and
requested
to
retain
an
easement
because
of
this
green
line.
Here,
that's
our
sanitary
sewer,
main
and
so
on.
This
exhibit
you'll
see
a
10-foot
utility
easement.
D
B
E
F
I've
been
been
through,
this
offer
enough
at
any
time.
We
look
at
vacating
anything
it
can
be.
It
can
be
a
contentious
item,
but
I
do
know
that
there's
a
checklist
of
what
five
six
different
things
that
you
criteria,
that
you
look
at,
whether
or
not
an
area,
whether
it's
a
right
away
or
a
street
is
a
you
know
feasible
for
vacation.
Do
you?
What
do
you
have
that
hand
yeah
I've
got
in
front
of
you?
D
Division
standards
for
a
big
pleasement
and
what
Brandi
has
done
here
is
compiled
I
think
she's
worked
from.
You
know
we
had
this
established
and
we've
kind
of
compiled
it
modified
it
and
made
an
updated
form.
So
what
we've
got
now
today
is
a
good
workflow
step
by
step
process,
the
materials
that
are
required
from
the
petitioner.
That's
asking
to
vacate
something
now
the
procedure
that
they
have
to
go
through
in
order
to
see
that
vacate
carried
out.
D
That
procedure
of
course
starts
out
with
the
staff
level,
where
we
look
at
it,
make
sure
that
everything's
practical
makes
sense
with
what
we're
left
with.
We
can
still
operate
effectively
the
public's
not
being
adversely
impacted
as
far
as
traffic
flow
and
access
to
their
properties
and
things
of
that
nature.
Then
it
progresses
to
the
Planning
Commission
level,
where
they
review
the
same
information
and
check
off
on
it.
Has
an
elected
body
or
an
appointed
body.
B
B
C
C
F
B
You
item
8
D
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
20-15
amending
section,
13
point:
zero,
three:
zero
three
of
the
revised
ordinances
of
the
city
of
Watertown
regarding
the
regulation
of
fireworks
in
public
parks
at
Lake,
Camp
Eska-
and
this
is
just
a
first
reading.
So
no
action
tonight
but
I
know
that
the
interim
Park
director,
Terry
Kelly,
is
on
the
line
so
I'm
going
to
ask
him
to
please
explain
what
process
this
has
gone
through
to
this
point
and
what
the
reasoning
is
behind
this.
I
Okay,
thank
you
mayor.
This
comes
before
the
council
with
a
bow
that
came,
MIDI
and
board
recommendation
for
approval
at
the
committee
level.
The
ongoing
talks
about
safety
of
the
discharge
of
fireworks
was
an
ongoing
topic.
It
did
move
into
other
issues
such
as
violations
of
motor
vehicle
laws
and
ordinances
with
exhibition
driving,
but
the
strong
point
of
the
Finance,
Committee
or
I'm.
Sorry,
the
Facilities
Committee
to
our
board
was
strictly
a
safety
issue
both
for
our
camp
campers
within
the
campground,
the
general
public
that
were
just
out
there
as
a
family,
dodging
fireworks.
I
The
swimmers
in
the
lake
that
type
of
thing
we
have
spoke
with
the
police
chief
McPeak,
which
I
think
Lee,
is
also
online
and
may
want
to
address
anything.
He
has
to
say
too,
but
they
even
felt
that
it
was
a
safety
concern.
The
board
did
hear
that
recommendation
and
did
agree
with
the
Facilities
Committee
to
move
it
on
to
the
council.
For
the
revised
ordinance,
we
felt
that
it
should
be
in
ordinance
form,
so
there
is
a
little
bit
of
enforceability
versus
a
par
correct
board
motion
or
just
a
just
a
board
policy.
I
C
Sure
I
can
just
touch
on
it
briefly.
We
do
end
up
policing
that
quite
heavily
on
the
4th
of
July
and
there's
a
lot
of
fireworks
going
on,
and
it
just
gets
to
be
kind
of
a
free-for-all
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
enjoying
the
park
between
the
campers
and
the
people
along
the
beach
and
those
putting
their
boats
in
and
out
it
just
isn't
a
safe
situation,
so
I
support
taking
them
out
of
the
least
Okutama
city
park
anyway.
Thank
you
all.
A
Yes,
thanks
Mary
I'll
just
add
that
I
have
two
things.
One.
The
authority
to
prohibit
fireworks
at
City
Park
does
rest
with
the
park
board.
So
that's
already
been
done
really.
What
this
is
is
formalizing
it
into
ordinance
where
the
police
would
have
a
mechanism
to
write
a
citation.
If,
if
there
was
violators
of
that
rule,.
D
A
The
Park
Board
laid
down,
and
then
the
second
thing
I
just
wanted
to
point
out-
is
that
we
just
took
the
opportunity
here
that,
since
we
were
amending
this
ordinance
to
add
that
memorial
park
is
also
subject
to
the
governance
of
the
County
Commission
as
to
whether
or
not
people
can
shoot
fireworks
at
Memorial
Park.
All.
C
A
Yes,
that's
correct
right,
yeah!
It's
only.
This
was
only
address.
Yeah
public
parks
was
just
a
catch-all
term
because
we
included
Memorial
Park
and
there's
also
the
regulation
that
already
existed
as
it
relates
to
say
any
short
part,
but
you're
correct.
This
ordinance
does
not
apply
to
Jackson
Park.
The
park
board
has
not
made
the
decision
to
end
fireworks
at
Jackson,
Park
or
forsberg
Park.
F
As
I
recall
as
your
as
your
board
and
your
committee,
we're
looking
at
this,
you
reached
out
to
a
number
of
other
communities
that
had
somewhat
in
the
Upper
Midwest
at
somewhat
similar
situations,
and
we
were
kind
of
an
anomaly
out
there
as
I
recall
that
that
did
allow
fireworks
in
in
a
city
park.
Did
you
want
to
do
you
want
to
address
or
make
a
comment
about
that?
Terry.
I
F
B
Item
II
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
20-16,
establishing
the
zoning
designation
of
i1
light
industrial
district
for
the
area
of
land
to
be
known
upon
annexation
as
the
ala
ma
first
edition,
and
there's
no
action
on
this
item
either.
This
is
a
first
reading,
but
I'll
ask
the
public
works
director
city,
engineer,
Heath,
Vaughn
eye
to
explain
it.
Please.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
Mary.
The
owner
of
this
property
is
Michael
Alamo,
the
owner
of
big
shots,
fireworks
on
the
east
side
of
town
along
highway
212,
and
this
property
is
currently
outside
the
city
limits,
with
Ben
petition
petition
to
annex
and
zoned
within
the
city
limits.
That
petition
to
annex
is
part
of
a
water
service
and
voluntary
annexation.
D
And
so
we
did
a
lot
of
leg
work
with
the
Planning
Commission
committee
in
the
planning
commissioners
and
made
those
modifications
to
our
zoning
ordinance
to
allow
for
this
type
of
use,
specifically
at
this
location,
along
with
a
small
handful
of
other
locations
throughout
the
community
and
before
the
council
tonight
is
first
reading
for
the
reads
on
this
property,
as
the
mayor
mentioned
is
to
be
zoned.
I
want
light.
Industrial
and
I
can
pull
up
the
map
for
this
reference
as
well.
Bear
with
me
a
second.
D
So
the
property
being
annexed
and
zoned
is
indicated
here
in
the
hatched
area
on
this
exhibit
again
we're
adjacent
to
highway.
212
just
out
east
of
i29
and
urban
planner
brandy
anton
has
also
processed
this
case
through
the
Planning
Commission,
and
that
passed
unanimously.
Recommendation
for
approval
from
the
Planning
Commission
we'd
be
glad
to
help
answer
any
questions.
B
E
Thank
You
mayor
so
essentially
what's
happening
here
is
the
fact
that
we
are
removing
the
35
five-mile
residency
requirement
for
some
employees.
However,
we
are
looking
at
continuing
on
with
a
15-mile
requirement
for
the
airport
staff,
Fire
and
Rescue
staff,
IT
staff,
police
department,
solid
waste
street
division
and
then
wastewater,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
cold
and
dry.
We
have
talked
with
all
of
the
department
heads
which
provided
us
with
the
recommendations
of
how
they
felt
in
regards
to
having
a
requirement
or
not,
and
those
are
the
folks
that
got
back
to
us.
B
C
E
F
B
I
had
brought
this
up
a
couple
of
years
ago,
just
because
folks
have
wanted
to
live
further
away
in
order
to
have
farm,
live
on
a
farm
or
live
on
property
that
they've
owned
and
not
be
constrained,
and
it's
harder
and
harder
to
hire.
People-
and
this
is
one
deterrent
to
getting
candidates,
is
when
you
require
them
to
live
close
in.
B
So
this
has
been
brought
up
over
time
numerous
times,
and
the
sticking
point
has
been
that
call
out
and
and
that
it
puts
an
unfair
burden
on
the
employees
that
live
close
in
when
some
of
them
live
farther
away.
The
ones
that
are
close
in
get
all
the
duties
or
it
just
takes
longer
for
someone
to
arrive
so
the
way
that
we
handled
this
was
by
letting
the
department's
Department
has
decide
for
themselves
whether
that
was
critical
to
the
operation
of
their
department,
so
that
they
could
tailor
it.
B
And
so
now
we
have
a
happy
medium.
There's
always
been
a
split
on
this.
Some
people
didn't
want
to
allow
people
to
live
anywhere
and
others
were
ok
with
it,
and
this
is
a
compromise
and
we
do
recently
have
an
employee
that
we
hired
that
lives
farther
and
so
just
a
little
bit
farther,
and
we
did
this
before
we
made
it
35.
B
It
was
not
quite
35
when
we
hired
somebody
that
lived
35
miles
away,
and
so
we
increased
it
to
that
and
that's
you
know
I
agree,
that's
probably
not
the
right
way
to
do
it.
We
should
decide
whether
it's
important
enough
to
keep
it
or
to
let
it
go,
and
so
there
are
certain
situations
where
it
is
important
to
keep
and
we'll
be
retaining
that
in
those
situations.
F
B
D
H
You
Muir
I'll
just
say
something
for
the
people
who
are
out
there
like
me,
who
are
kind
of
just
wondering
about
it.
Why
we
are
allowing
city
employees
to
not
live
in
side,
the
city
you
know
inside
the
city
that
they're
actually
working
for
I,
find
it
a
little
odd
I.
Don't
find
it
odd
enough
to
oppose
it
or
anything
like
that.
H
I
I
appreciate
your
explanation
quite
a
bit
actually
as
far
as
trying
to
find
employees
I
just
am
thankful
that
we
have
not
had
any
complaint
about
an
employee
who
has
not
provided
good
service
because
they
don't
live
in
the
city.
So,
barring
a
problem,
I
don't
see
any
reason
to
oppose
this.
It's
just
just
another
tool
to
try
to
hire
some
more
people
right.
B
And
we
do
have
the
ability
through
disciplinary
action
if
it
becomes
a
problem.
If
someone
is
consistently
late
to
work
because
they
you
know
have
so
far
to
drive,
that's
that's
a
different
kind
of
an
issue
that
can
be
dealt
with
and
we
aren't
having
that
issue
by
the
way.
So
thank
you
for
that.
Anyone
else,
councilman
Radomski.
Oh
sorry,
just.
C
B
A
salary
off
a
taxpayer
money
also
right
and-
and
they
do
often
shop
here-
we're
kind
of
a
regional
hub
and
we
do
draw
shoppers
from
farther
away
and
people
who
drive
to
town
to
work
will
fill
up
their
tank
and
pick
up
groceries
before
they
go
home.
So
there
it's,
it's,
not
a
huge
difference.
I,
don't
think
councilmen
feel
horror,
I.
F
Know
this
has
been
an
issue
with
it
with
the
county
as
well,
and
they've
addressed
this
that
at
least
once
or
a
couple
times
and
I'm,
not
quite
sure
where
the
county
shakes
out
it
is
but
but
do
we
have
a
sense,
I
guess
I'll
draw
addresses
you
join,
not
that
we
blindly
followed
other
communities
do
out
there,
but
do
we
have
a
sense
of
what
other
larger
communities
do
relative
to
a
requirement
like
this?
You
have
any
sense
of
that.
E
Minimal
I'll
be
honest
with
you
and
you
have
minimal,
but
I
would
say
that
you
know
a
lot
of
communities.
Don't
really
have
much
of
guidance
unless
it
is
somebody
who
is
on
call
or
an
emergency
responder.
Just
due
to
the
fact
that
there's
we're
so
rural
and
to
the
mayor's
point,
you
know
there's
those
farms
that
are
40
miles
away
instead
of
35,
so
I
think
it's
just
making
sure
that
we
can
accommodate
as
well
versus
and
bringing
in
those
those
better
employees.
G
Just
going
to
toss
out
in
a
world
where
we
already
are
quite
capable
of
teleworking
and
working
from
home,
a
lot
of
I,
don't
like
to
praise
soft
skills,
but
a
lot
of
skills
that
are
done
on
a
computer
things
like
that
they
can
be
pretty
much
executed
from
anywhere.
So
in
a
worst
case,
blizzard
scenario,
this
individual
and
many
of
our
departments
likely
could
still
do
their
job
from
home.
G
I'm
not
too
concerned
about
it.
I've
commuted
before
for
work.
A
good
distance
I
know
that
that
drove
me
to
eat
at
local
establishments
and
shop
at
local
stores
for
food,
whether
that
be
a
gas
station
or
something
it
goes
up.
So
you'll
see
more
of
that
and
again
likely
if
they
have
groceries,
they'd,
probably
grab
them
here
if
it's
a
better
price
in
the
home,
but
ultimately
the
only
big
sales
tax,
different
or
just
tax
difference
in
general
is
gonna,
be
seen,
maybe
in
their
property
taxes.
G
But
aside
from
that,
I,
don't
think
that's
a
huge
concern
and
again
truthfully.
You
just
want
the
best
qualified
person
for
the
job,
and
if
it's
something
that's
not
affected
by
you
needing
to
be
to
work
in
an
emergency
time
period,
then
I
don't
think.
There's
a
huge
altercation
or
potential
problems
that
to
come
out
of
this.
So
I
think
it's
a
fairly
progressive
view
of
how
we
can
look
at
hiring.
Thank.
A
A
Is
removing
this
proposal
would
remove
from
ordinance
the
residency
requirement
entirely,
but
it's
clarifying
in
our
personnel
policy
still
that
there
is
a
residency
requirement
for
those
will
be
listed
on.
The
resolution
will
address
an
exodus
just
for
operationally.
There
will
no
longer
be
an
ordinance
addressing
this,
but
it'll
be
in
the
personnel
policy,
which,
of
course,
is
a
little
more
flexible,
easier
to
change.
If
something
were
to
come
up
or
if
the
council
or
the
city
decides,
they
want
to
go
a
different
direction.
Thank.
B
You
thank
you
for
pointing
that
out
all
right,
then
we're
gonna
move
right
into
the
next
item,
which
is
C
G
approval
of
resolution,
20-25
amending
the
personnel
policy
and
procedure
manual
to
remove
the
35-mile
residency
requirement
and
clarify
the
categories
of
employees
subject
to
the
15-mile
residency
requirement.
We
will
need
action
on
this.
One
tonight
have
a
motion
by
Pauline
and
a
second
by
Robertson
way
to
get
in
there.
Dan.
E
C
E
Much
like
Matt
talked
about
prior.
This
is
essentially
just
removing
it
from
the
ordinance
and
putting
it
into
the
personnel
policy
manual
affecting
those
that
we
listed
prior
in
regards
to
the
15-mile
residency
requirement.
Everybody
else
would
be
excluded
from
that
and
wouldn't
have
a
residency
requirement
when
we
do
offer
letters.
G
E
G
E
It
would
depend
on
if
you
were
a
union
employee
or
not,
if
you're
a
union
employee.
What
would
happen
is
you
would
essentially
get
a
expectation
agreement
stating
that
you
know
you've
been
late,
X
amount
of
times
it's
unacceptable.
We
need
to
see
improvement
within
30
days.
If
you
are
a
non-union
employee,
you
could
just
jump
right
into
an
oral
written
warning.
If
need
be,
so
we
do
have
those
options.
It
just
depends
on
where
you
land
on
the
Union
and
non-union
spectra.
E
E
B
A
B
In
my
personal
supervisory
experience,
I've
had
violators
of
the
tardiness
concept
that
lived
a
couple
blocks
from
City
Hall
and
you
know,
I've
had
to
deal
with
it
and
I've
had
successful
techniques
where
no
one
had
to
lose
their
job
or
anything,
but
they
changed
their
ways
just
depending
on
how
the
supervisor
would
deal
with
the
situation
and
to
my
knowledge,
we're
not
having
any
issues
with
that.
The
department
has
we
deal
with
it.
Yes,
councilman
Hoyer,
right.
G
Themselves
getting
to
where
they
need
to
go,
but
I
think
it's
just
looking
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
have
abuses
kind
of
period,
just
because
I
think
there's
some
concerns,
sometimes
that
people
in
higher
positions
may
abuse
those
tarty
lack
of
tardiness
restriction
and
then
their
workers
underneath
them
might
have
feelings
about
it.
I
don't
know
what
our
current
climate
is
on.
G
B
F
I've
got
a
question:
procedurally,
okay,
assuming
we
pass
this
resolution.
When
does
this
take
effect?
I
guess
my
specific
question
or
my
underlying
question
is:
can
we
pass
this
resolution
before
we
before
we
revoke
or
repeal
the
origins
we
just
had
the
first
reading
on
that?
So
are
we
doing
this
in
the
right
order?
I'll
defer
to
whatever
your
judgment?
Isn't
that,
but
the
questions
came
to
mind.
A
So
technically
I
would
go
into
effect.
Twenty
days
after
publication,
the
ordinance
will
take
up
the
repeal.
The
ordinance
will
take
effect
after
that,
from
a
practical
perspective,
there'll
be
a
little
bit
of
a
gap
there,
but
I
don't
think
it's
gonna
have
any
practical
effect
on
on
hiring
or
or
anything
a
lot
of
disciplinary
actions
or
anything
like
that.
We.
A
Yeah
I
mean
if
that
yeah
there's
that
that's
a
concern
if,
if
out
of
an
abundance
of
caution,
if
that's
the
approach
we
wanted
to
take,
we
could
either
postpone
action
on
this
until
the
next
meeting,
so
they're
published
simultaneously
after
the
passage
or
we
can
delay
publication
of
the
resolution.
I'm.
F
B
E
We
can't
mayor
this
Kristen.
Sorry,
oh,
go
ahead:
Kristen
yeah
the
finance
office.
We
can
make
a
note
that
we
would
publish
this
resolution
and
the
ordinance
on
the
same
Saturday
so
that
they're
both
same
they're
both
together,
because
there's
no
there's
no
rule.
That
said,
you
have
a
certain
amount
of
days
to
publish
it.
It's
just
that
it
has.
It
doesn't
take
effect
until
the
20
days
after
its
published
so
well.
A
I
would
just
add.
Actually
then,
if
that's
the
concern
here,
then
we
should
postpone
action
on
this,
because
it's
possible
that
the
ordinance
doesn't
pass.
If
there's
you
know
the
next
reading,
the
ordinance
hasn't
passed
yet.
So,
if
that's
a
concern
of
the
council,
then
we
should
just
postpone
action
on
the
resolution
and
and
consider
it
at
the
same
meeting,
because
if
the
ordinance
doesn't
pass,
you
shouldn't
pass
the
resolution.
A
H
You
Mary
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge.
I
can't
remember
what
mr.
Paulsen
called
in
about
either
FRG
on
the
agenda,
but
they're
kind
of
conjoined,
but
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
we
heard
his
phone
call
understood
his
concerns.
I
can
understand
where
you're
coming
from,
but
doing
away
with
the
ordinance
putting
it
in
personal.
H
The
manual
is
probably
where
it
needed
to
go
anyway
and
where
it
should
have
gone,
to
allow
more
clarification
to
allow
the
managers
of
their
departments
to
deal
with
it
themselves.
It's
probably
a
better
place
for
it
and
it'll
allow
better
ability
to
amend
it
or
address
it
going
forward.
So
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
to
mr.
Paulsen,
who
called
in
and
said
something
earlier
that
we
heard
it.
H
H
A
B
H
B
B
C
G
E
C
B
E
C
E
E
E
B
Okay
action
is
postponed
item.
H
is
review
of
the
continued
necessity
of
resolution
number
20-15
declaring
an
emergency
concerning
the
pandemic
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus,
kovat,
19
and
providing
for
responsive
measures
related
to
the
operations
of
the
city
and
protection
of
Public
Health
and.
B
A
A
Provided
for
recommendations
to
be
following
CDC
guidelines
and
recommendations
provided
for
arrangements
for
board
members,
city
staff
and
media
etc
for
the
participation
in
public
meetings,
and
did
provide
the
mayor
with
some
authority
to
implement
additional
procedures
or
measures
as
necessary
if
something
were
to
come
up
on
an
emergency
basis.
And
so
it
was
discussed
that
we
would
be
considering
this
resolution
at
every
meeting
of
the
council
until
until
it's
no
longer
needed
and
so
motions
to
a
man
can
certainly
be
made
or
a
motion
to
discontinue
it.
I
Ok,
Thank
You
mayor
and
our
last
Park
and
Rec
board
meeting
the
board
did
do
a
3-tier
opening
scenario
after
the
board
meeting,
our
tier
one
was
outdoor
space
that
really
we
could
operate
under
social
distancing
guidelines
on
top
of
what
was
already
opened.
At
that
point,
we
did
open
the
disc
golf
courses,
the
tennis
courts,
the
pickleball
courts
and
the
dog
park,
and
that
was
kind
of
phase
one
of
our
openings
that
we
felt
safely.
We
could
accommodate
the
citizens
of
the
community
to
utilize
those
facilities.
I
The
second
tier
of
that
was,
we
looked
at
our
brick
and
mortar
facilities
and
determined
you
know
what
we
could
do
with
what
we
refer
to
as
a
soft
opening.
Obviously,
we
cannot
open
with
no
restriction.
They
go
back
to
where
we
were
before
the
pandemic
and
those
two
highlighted
facilities
were
the
prey
Lakes
wellness
center
and
the
bramble
Park
Zoo.
I
They
did
recommend
at
that
meeting
to
the
council
for
tonight's
meeting
to
go
ahead
and
allow
a
soft
opening
number
one
at
the
Prairie
Lakes
Wellness
Center,
and
what
that
would
consist
of
soft
opening
would
be
that
we
would
open
up
the
first
and
second
floor
of
our
cardio
equipment,
certain
weight
equipment,
inner
acceleration
room
along
with
the
walking
track
to
our
members
and
yes
to
utilize.
With
the
guidelines
of
social
distancing,
we
would
not
open
the
pool,
we
would
not
open
the
gymnasiums
nor
the
locker
rooms.
I
We
would
provide
a
restroom
facility
in
the
North
concourse,
one
of
the
large
gyms
simply
so.
There
is
a
restaurant
facility
available.
That
was
a
recommendation
on
that
facility.
As
far
as
Bramha
Park
Zoo,
the
recommendation
would
be
to
open
the
outdoor
exhibits,
leave
the
Discovery
Center
closed
other
than
the
restrooms
for
our
patrons
or
our
visitors,
and
also
keep
the
barn
closed.
So
that
is
what's
before
you
tonight,
with
the
recommendation
from
the
board,
as
well
as
staff,
do
soft
openings
in
those
two
facilities,
the
balance
of
the
facilities.
I
B
Right,
thank
you
so
right
now
what
the
resolution
says
is
that
all
city
operated
buildings
shall
be
closed
to
the
public
and
if
the
council
is
interested
in
moving
forward
with
allowing
some
of
the
buildings
to
open
up
even
fully
or
partially,
they
could
do
that
just
by
adding
in
the
words
except
for
and
for
instance,
the
prairie
lakes
wellness
center
and
the
bramble
Park
Zoo.
And
you
don't
need
to
incorporate
all
the
detail
of
how
those
are
managed
in
the
resolution
itself.
G
I
No,
thank
you
Michael.
As
far
as
the
zoo,
those
determinations
were
really
made
on
on
staff
ability
to
sanitize.
You
know
the
barn
such
a
you
know.
It's
based
really
on
a
hands-on
touch,
feel
experience
that
environment
and
really
without
being
able
to
do
that,
touch
and
feel
and
interact.
It
really
takes
away
the
point
of
that
barn
and
we
simply
do
not
have
the
staff
to
follow
around
and
do
the
proper
sanitation
on
that.
You
know,
and
that
goes
back
to
the
discovery
center
there's.
I
So
many
hands-on
exhibits
that
that
part
of
that
experience
is
touch,
feel
and
simply
it's
the
case
of
short
of
the
restrooms.
We
just
do
do
not
feel
we
have
the
staff
or
we're
really
complying
with
CDC
if
we
worry
or
if
we
chose
to
open
those
I
think
we'd
be
going
against
everything.
The
CDC
stands
for
as
far
as
their
guidelines
for
recreational
facilities.
I,
don't
know.
If
that
helps
Michael.
G
It
kind
of
does
I
mean
I,
don't
know
if
we're
putting
air
filters
on
people
or
something
at
the
gym,
since
it's
an
airborne
illness
I.
This
is
more
of
a
personal
thing.
Terry,
it's
just
hard
to
understand
in
many
situations
how
we
can
keep
our
recreational
facilities
completely.
Sanitized
I
mean
do
we
have
a
mechanism,
that's
following
our
patrons
around
when
they
use
the
gym
to
make
sure
they're,
sanitizing
equipment,
I
mean
ultimately
I.
Think
you
put
the
responsibility
on
the
people.
I
think
that's
a
completely
appropriate
and
it
comes
down
to
them.
I
You
know,
after
every
machine,
but
we
would
not
approach
the
board
or
the
council
if
we
didn't
feel
that
we
could
not
sustain
sanitization.
You
know
with
with
our
ability
to
weigh
from
down
with
the
staff,
so
we're
really
doing
a
true
soft
opening
of
saying,
hey
as
a
staff.
We
do
feel
that
this
is
a
safe
environment.
We
can
put
you
on
a
machine.
We
can
put
you
on
a
walking
track.
We
can
follow
you
around.
We
we
can
sanitize
after
the
use
where
the
staff
do
that.
You
know.
I
In
retrospect,
we
we
don't
have
the
staff
to
do
that
in
gymnasiums.
The
staff
do
that
in
swimming
pools,
and
that's
why
we
are
approaching
you
tonight,
just
a
soft
open
to
basically
cardio
equipment
and
the
walking
trail
and
straight
face
talking
into
Council
and
the
board.
We
are
confident
that
we
can
provide
that
safe
environment.
H
You
mayor
TK
I'm
going
to
ask
this
because
I
have
at
least
I
have
one
constituent
in
mind.
Who
will
ask
me
why
not
the
pool
and
so
I
would
like
maybe
a
further
explanation
as
to
why
not
the
pool
I
guess
I'm
just
wondering
because
once
you're
in
the
pool
there's
so
many
chemicals
in
there,
it's
gonna
kill
pretty
much
anything
so
I'm
just
wondering
why
not
the
pool
Thank
You
Kenny.
I
Cool,
no,
you
know
what
great
question
we
I've
done:
plenty
of
research
in
it's
a
daily
research,
because
you
know
we
want
to
open
the
pools.
It's
one.
You
know
the
funnest
times
we
have
in
the
summer
with
the
Aquatic
Center
the
pools,
but
at
the
same
time
you
know
we
we
step
back
and
look
at
this
scientifically
and
and
you're
completely
right
consequent
wholly
in
that
the
water
is
truly
not
the
issue
and
in
anticipation
of
these
questions,
I
do
have
some
some
CDC
research
here
and
CDC
does
and
I'll
kind
of
quote
here.
I
This
is
from
CDC
gov
in
relation
to
recreational
facilities.
They're
ballpoint
is
consider,
closing
pools
and
hot
tubs
or
limiting
access
to
pools
for
essential
activities
only
such
as
water
therapy,
while
proper
operation,
maintenance
and
disinfection
should
kill,
Kovan,
19
and
pools
and
hot
tubs
they
may
become
crowded
and
could
easily
exceed
recommended
guidance
for
gatherings.
It
can
also
be
challenging
to
keep
surfaces
clean
and
disinfected
so
that
that
was
number
one.
As
far
as
you
see
number
two
I
pulled
up
today.
I
There
is
no
evidence
that
covin
19
can
be
spread
to
humans
through
the
water
through
proper
maintenance
and
disinfection,
but
although
the
gathering
of
people
can
sustain
more
things
by
utilizing
with
things
such
as
locker
rooms
and
restrooms,
around
pool
areas
in
the
last
one
I
would
share
is
from
USA
Swimming,
who
is
kind
of
a
national
guidance
to
pools.
It
says
if
you
choose
a
swim,
leave
the
facility
a
student's
reasonably
possible
after
a
practice,
wash
your
hands
use
hand
sanitizer
after
leaving
the
pool,
do
not
use
locker
rooms
or
changing
areas.
I
Please
shower
at
home
and
wear
your
suit
to
it
from
home.
So
you
know
there's
nothing
from
the
CDC
that
essentially
spells
out
locker
rooms,
but
everything
I've
read
over
the
last
week
and
especially
today,
really
states
stay
away
from
the
locker
rooms,
stay
away
from
the
restrooms
around
the
pool.
So
to
your
answer,
the
water,
the
way
the
research
looks
is
safe,
but
there's
so
many
intangibles
that
come
with
that
water,
the
deck
area,
the
handrails,
the
locker
rooms.
I
You
know
coming
and
going
you
get
it's
just
it's
an
overwhelming
thing
to
try
and
maintain
that
CDC
guidelines,
so
I
just
feel
from
our
staff
capability
right
now,
working
completely
off
a
full-time
staff.
We
just
not
have
the
mechanism
to
ensure
that
we
are
providing
a
safe
environment
which
is
primarily
on
the
focus
of
getting
in
the
pool
and
getting
out
of
it
safely.
C
I
What
we're
looking
at
that
councilman
is
those
really
need
to
wait
until
we
get
CDC
restrictions
on
groups
of
ten
or
more
the
social
distancing
within
one
of
those
things.
I
just
read
to
the
council
on
the
do's
and
don'ts
of
recreational
facilities,
which
can
be
found
on
cdc.gov,
one
of
their
doses
do
not
participate
in
organized
activities
or
sports.
So.
C
I
Far
as
complexes
it's
just
difficult
when
you've
got
when
you
get,
you
know
a
share
piece
of
equipment
with
whether
that's
a
helmet,
a
ball,
a
bat,
a
dugout.
Those
are
things
that
we
can
simply
just
you
know
whether
it's
obviously
we
can't
come
and
sanitize
and
I,
don't
think
even
people
that
are
utilizing
to
keep
up
with
it.
I
know
you
know
talking
with
Gary
young
and
David
Evers,
who
are
our
members
of
local
associations,
have
presented
me
with
us,
a
softball
of
South
Dakota,
which
is
kind
of
the
governing
body.
I
They
do
have
a
plan
in
place.
Most
of
these
will
they're
hoping
for
June
1,
but
they
do
have
a
plan
where
everybody
has
to
have
their
own
helmet.
Maybe
dugouts
aren't
used
and
you
stand
along
the
fence
and
six
foot
increments,
but
there's
still
that
shared
piece
of
equipment,
mainly
the
ball,
so
we're
kind
of
on
a
waiting
game
on
that
councilman.
It's
you
know.
C
A
C
I
What
myself,
as
the
staff
and
the
board
and
the
counts
got
to
look
at
is
a
perception
of
that.
Is
you
drive
by
the
complex?
You
see
five
six
people
out
there
very
well
be
cohabitants,
maybe
you
and
your
kids,
but
also
it
kind
of
to
me,
it
says,
spreads
the
message
of
hey.
Look.
You
know,
cook
complex
is
open,
I've
seen
people
there.
Let's,
let's
bring
our
team
out
for
a
practice.
You
know.
Obviously
we
don't
go
there
and
check
IDs
or
even
the
same
household.
I
It
would
probably
open
up
that
invite
where
we
can't
control.
You
know
who's
out
there,
how
many
people
we
don't
know
if,
if
Adam
one
of
them
and
it's
just
kids
or
if
we
don't
know
if
it's
the
next-door
neighbors
and
their
kids,
so
it's
just
very
difficult
to
to
make
that
judgment.
It's
it's
easier
to
know
that
hey.
If
it's
closed,
it's
closed
and
we're
running
that
safety
and
I
will
express
to
the
council
and
anybody
you
know
watching
you
know
this
is.
This
is
what
we
do.
I
This
is
very
difficult
in
the
park:
correct,
Department
to
not
open
these
things
up
and
I.
Don't
want
to
portray
that
this
is
anything
that
we're
enjoying
you
know
we
want
to
open
them
up,
but
for
everything
we
read
and
the
CDC
guidelines
weren't
facing
we
straight
face,
look
at
it
and
say
you
know
this
facility.
We
can
provide
a
safe
environment
and
this
one
we
can't
and
I
think
right
now
the
ball
fields
fall
in
that
category.
I
We
just
simply
cannot
come
up
with
enough
rules
enough
safety
hard
to
ensure
the
safety
of
our
citizens
and
I
know
the
softball
leagues.
The
everybody
wants
to
know
that
answer
and
USA
softball
is
doing
a
great
job
of
coming
up
with
some
alternatives
that
I
can
see.
You
know
possibly
next
week
in
two
weeks
by
June
one
that
would
be
a
realistic
expectation,
but,
as
we
sit
here
today,
I
don't
see
how
we
can
meet
that
I.
I
C
I
Where
I've
been
trying
to
promote
our
neighborhood
parks?
For
that
you
know,
if
you
only
got
three
four
kids
and
and
they're
all
cohabitants,
you
know:
we've
got
eleven
neighborhood
ball
field
parks
that
have
ball
fields
in
them.
You
know,
if
you're
not
worried
about
hitting
a
300
foot,
you
know
adding
practice,
there's
plenty
opportunity
in
your
diamond
balls
and
your
Nelsons
and
you're
just
belmonts
all
over
town.
I
C
F
But
you
know
there
are
people
out
there
watching
and
waiting,
and
we
will
be
reviewing
this
on
a
regular
basis,
also
like
to
comment
that
when
we
discussed
this
last
week
relative
to
our
ordinance
that
we
let
sunset
that
I
had
expressed
a
viewpoint
from
the
health
care
community
as
part
of
the
unified
command
team
that
they
were
concerned
about
loosening
restrictions
too
much
I.
Think
so
far.
Things
have
gone
fairly
well
from
what
I'm,
observing
and
hearing
around
the
community.
I
Yeah
and
I
and
I
appreciate
that,
because
that's
that's
completely
where
we're
where
we're
sitting
is,
you
know
when
I
talked
about
a
little
bit,
that
you
know
we
as
a
staff.
You
know
this
is
what
we
do
in
this.
What
we
look
forward
to
is
providing
these
opportunities
and
and
it's
difficult
but
I,
agree.
We
do
not
want
to
move
too
quick
on
this.
I
We've
worked
hard
to
do
these
slow
soft
openings
and
you
know
son,
you
open
up
a
complex
or
you
open
up
a
pool
and
everything
we've
worked
for
it
might
go
backwards,
and
it's
not
from
that.
We
don't
want
to
open
it
simply
trying
to
fry
that
safe
environment,
and
you
know
we
are
looking
at
programs
you're,
looking
everything
else
right
as
much
possible
as
we
can
to
the
community
of
Watertown
and
right
now,
I,
just
don't
think
I
think
that
be
moving
too
quickly.
To
be
honest,
so
I
appreciate
those
comments.
C
Tk
I
got
one
more
just
a
quick
question:
what
if
we
opened
up
the
gym
and
not
have
any
contact
type
sports?
You
know
how
ye
you
know,
someone
be
able
to
go
in
there
and
just
shoot.
You
know.
Maybe
they
have
to
bring
their
own
ball
or
some
on
those
lines.
I,
don't
I,
don't
know
if
that's
feasible
or
not,
and
just
one
another
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
people.
It's
a
lot
of
users
now
that
it's
warmer
and
people
can
go
to
area
parks
and
things
of
that
nature.
I
Oh
absolutely
I
mean
absolutely
and
Councilman
Lau
and
that's
our
Phase
two,
which
we
hope
is
a
quick
phase
deal.
You
know
we're
not
talking
two
months
away
from
Phase
two.
We
hope
we
get
through
this
soft
opening
kind
of
say:
hey:
what
can
our
staff
handle
as
far
as
sanitation,
that
kind
of
thing
and
I
think
that's
a
great
step
to
as
the
gyms?
You
know,
families,
single
use
equipment
and
we're
gonna
get
there.
You
know
and
I
and
I
want
to
get
there
and
I
do
think.
I
You're
gonna
see
that
probably
real
quick
Adam,
as
far
as
you
know,
hey
an
example.
You
and
your
kids
going
in
the
street
around
you
know,
use
the
same
basketball,
bring
your
own
we're
not
going
to
provide
that
and
when,
when
you're
done,
you
know,
we
feel
that
we
can
sanitize
it
a
little
bit
that
was
hands-on
touching
and
the
next
family
can
do
it
and
with
the
amount
of
space
we
have
square
footage,
we
can
get
a
lot
of
people
in
there
that
are
that
are
doing
it
amongst
our
cohabitants
or
households.
I
Things
like
that.
Just
at
this
point
you
know
we're
operating
a
full-time
staff.
We
have
not
brought
back
any
part-time
short
of
our
our
cleaning
crew,
which
is
about
four
to
six
people,
never
left
us
just
to
keep
up
on
sanitizing.
Those
will
stay
with
us,
but
the
rest,
you
know,
we've
got
aquatics
directors
are
now
working
front
desk
and
maintenance
and
fitness
directors
that
are
working
front
desk
and
cleaning.
So
that's
gonna
be
one
of
our
challenges
when
we
can
bring
that
part-time
staff
back
to
ensure
we
can
sanitize
correctly.
I
C
You
need
to
come
back
to
us
for
that,
or
is
that
something
as
a
staff
you
can
make
a
you
know
kind
of
a
call
at
this.
You
know
we.
We
feel
that
we
can
take
care
of
the
you
know
the
small
gym
or
maybe
a
base
gym
open
up
in
those
little
bits.
I
mean
I.
Don't
want
you
to
have
to
come
back
to
us.
If
you
you
come
back
and
you
know
say
we
open
the
Wellness
Center,
but
you
know
you
figure
out.
I
can
I
can
get
out
there.
C
H
I
I
And
I
think
I'll,
probably
Ludo
to
our
city
attorney
to
clarify
based
on
what
counsel
action
takes
place
tonight
and
what
leeway
we
have
is
a
staff
because
you're
right
it
would
be.
If
we
say
you
know,
on
Thursday,
hey,
we
got
no
staff.
You
know
we
can
mop
up
after
in
the
gym
and
giving
that
ability
to
slowly
expand
those
services,
but
I
probably
would
rely
on
our
attorney
Matt
Roby
to
clarify
how
that
that
motion
would
have
to
be
made.
Matt.
A
Yes,
Mara,
you
could
you
know
if
you
wanted
to
modify
the
resolution,
you
could
essentially
turn
over
the
authority
for
Park
and
Rec
operated
facilities
to
the
art
department
or
hand
or
the
park
board.
I
guess
I
would
defer
back
in
Terry
if
you
wanted
the
park
board
to
be
involved
still
on
those
decisions,
but
but
yeah.
The
emotion
from
a
council
level
could
be
to
accept
buildings
that
are
operated
by
the
parking,
Rec
Department
and
let
them
make
there
are
their
decisions
as
things
change
without
having
to
come
back
to
the
council.
C
Now
would
that
have
to
be
on
a
case-by-case
basis
or
like
a
blanket
like
safe.
We
said
tonight
we
wanted
the
Wellness
Center
no
zoo
to
open,
but
the
you
know
we
we
give
it
to
the
park
board
to
decide
which
areas
of
that
is
or
do
we
say
just
the
park
in
general
because
essentially
we're
talking
about
three
different
phases
or
like
a
one,
two
and
or
2a
and
2b,
and
then
three
so.
A
Yeah
I
mean
you
could
just
it
seems
like
it's
probably
simplest
to
just
defer
to
the
park
board
and
to
make
the
decisions
as
it
relates
to
Park
and
Rec
operated
facilities.
Or
you
could
you
know
you
could
approved
just
those
two
facilities
and
then
and
then
defer
to
the
park
board
for
how
much
of
those
facilities
to
open
or
defer
to
terry
kelly,
how
much
of
those
facilities
open
but
yeah.
You
could
there's
a
couple
different
ways.
You
could
do
it.
I
Cement
can
I
jump
in
on
you
know.
With
that
I'll
call
governing
authority.
You
know
the
park
board
only
meets
once
a
month.
You
know
the
last
Tuesday
where
the
council
does
mean
you
know
the
first
and
third
Monday
that
almost
makes
it
more
difficult
as
far
as
timing,
if
we,
if
we
want
to
pull
the
trigger
on
a
on
a
quick
decision,
you
know,
and
obviously
the
brick
and
mortar
ordinance
right
now
falls
under
the
council
since
that
resolution
was
made.
So
you
know
our
next
meeting
is
scheduled:
May
26,
for
example.
I
A
Yeah
I
see
that
I
mean
I.
Wonder,
though,
that
if,
if
all
of
a
sudden,
you
opened
up
a
part
of
the
facility
that
the
board
hadn't
recommended
now
you'd
be
doing
something
contrary
to
what
the
board
recommended,
and
so
it
might
just
take
a
special
meeting
or
it
could
be
a
special
meeting
where
they
defer
back
to
the
council.
I
mean
who
wants
to
take
responsibility
here.
I
guess
is
the
end
of
the
the
end
of
the
day.
However,
you
guys
want
to
craft.
It
is
appropriate.
A
C
We
frankly,
we
can
make
that
same
argument
that
we
can
say
well,
the
Park
Board
said
X
and
and
Y
and
we're
gonna
say
X
Y
Z.
So
it
doesn't
matter
to
me
I'm
just
trying
to
figure
out
if
there's
a
way
that
you
know
Teri's
crew,
that's
there.
They
know
they
can
take
care
of
that
without
having
to
wait-
and
maybe
we
do
have
to
call
a
special
meeting
for
that.
But
it
would
be
just
just
trying
to
figure
out
some
logistics
with
you
know
how
to
do
it.
I
Well
and
I
appreciate
that
in
because,
because
that's
our
intent
is
we
want
to
continue
with
the
opening.
You
know
we
want
to
fire
away
based
on
council
action,
to
get
the
doors
open
and
see
what
we
can
handle.
We
don't
even
know
at
this
point
the
traffic
flow
you
know
we
may
have
to
go
back
and
say
to
many
people.
You
know
we've
got
to
come
up
with
a
quick
way
to
adhere
to
social
distancing.
I
You
know
we're
only
gonna,
let
a
hundred
and
at
a
time-
and
you
know
we
base
it
on
numbers
from
historical
data.
This
is
this
time
of
year.
We
typically
don't
exceed
50
to
60
because
of
the
weather.
That
kind
of
thing,
but
you
know
if
we
get
all
sent
300
people
that
door.
You
know
we
have
an
issue
there
that
we've
got
to
come
up
with
plans,
but
our,
but
our
intent
is
to
continually
move
forward.
As
long
as
we
can
meet
the
CDC
guidelines
that
are
out
there,
we're
gonna
continually
open
up.
I
You
know
aspects
of
that
facility.
You
know
just
like
your
question
as
far
as
the
gymnasiums,
the
sooner
we
can
do,
that
the
better
we
all
are.
You
know
we're
excited
for
that,
but
I
I
will
sit
here
with
my
position,
saying:
I
am
going
to
protect
the
CDC
guidelines
and
in
our
staff
and
our
users
as
well,
and
not
in
that
to
write
a
an
unsafe
environment,
because
we
all
want
that
now.
If
that
makes
sense.
So
let.
I
They're,
looking
maybe
for
staff
recommendations
at
our
last
meeting,
they
suggest
a
once-a-week
Facilities
Committee.
Just
you
know
no
formal
action,
but
just
those
discussions
of
hey
here's.
What
I
feel
we
can
move
forward
on
here's.
What
I
think
we
can't-
and
that
goes
through
Softball
Complex-
is
to
outdoor
aquatic
centers
and
then
once
we
get
that
we
may
have
to
do
a
special
meeting
to.
C
A
C
I
C
I
I
If
you
want
to
go
over
your,
you
know,
groups
of
ten
or
more,
which
would
allow
us
about
220
people,
but
then
we
felt
that
as
a
staff
and
we've
only
got
about
112
pieces
of
equipment,
so
that
would
be
our
maximum
and
if
we
start
saying
that
you
know
even
day
one
whatever
that
day
would
be,
you
know
we
will
come
up
with
with
an
alternative
plan
and
that
plan
would
be
to
do
a
reservation
system
to
our
software.
That
says,
okay
from
5:00
a.m.
to
6:30
a.m.
I
you
know,
go
online
and
sign
up
for
that
time.
6:30
to
8:00,
you
know,
I
would
have
increments
to
ensure
we.
We
can
meet
the
social
distancing
right
now
we
base
it
on
the
last
three
years
of
historical
numbers
and
typically
within
a
given
hour,
we
don't
exceed
50
people
in
the
facility.
You
know
now,
if
this
is
January
2nd.
You
know
that
number
climb
is
about
two
to
three
hundred,
but
based
on
this
time
of
year,
we
feel
we
have
the
piece
of
equipment
to
adhere
the
CDC
guidelines
and
we're
hoping
morning.
I
We
don't
have
to
get
to
that
point.
If
we
do,
we
we've
already
had
these
conversations
staff,
that's
how
we
are
going
to
handle
that
and
it
would
be
by
signing
up
for
a
time.
You
know
we
don't
want
to
do
it
alphabetically,
because
if
you
know,
if
you
fall
in
our
Jason,
you
know-
and
we
say:
ok,
you're
5
to
6
p.m.
but
you
work
at
that
time
in
the
early
time,
with
7
a.m.
that
doesn't
really
work
for
the
alphabetized.
So.
I
C
I
And
you
know
that's
one
of
the
silver
linings
is
you
know
if
this
was
January
of
February?
It
would
be
a
much
harder
thing
to
regulate,
but
our
typical
made
June
numbers.
We,
we
were
very
confident,
you
know
short
of
people
missing
the
place.
We
may
have
a
influx
of
people
the
first
couple
days,
but
we'll
probably
see
that
level
off
be
able
to
maintain
the
guidelines
and
the
sanitation
that
were
that
we're
expecting.
What's.
I
That
that
is
actually
we
didn't
up
pulling
April
1.
We
pull
twice
a
month
most
in
the
1st
and
the
15th
April
one
was
pulled
and
we
have
not
pulled
a
payment
since
that,
and
we
have
identified
discussed
with
our
members
that
we
will
not
pull
a
draw
until
they
receive
the
equal
number
of
days
of
service
that
we
were
closed.
So
in
that
case,
we're
looking
at
and
I
don't
have
the
math
and
from
me,
but
potentially
the
June
15th
payment
would
be
the
first
payment
that
would
be
pulled
so.
C
B
I
Person
accurate-
and
you
know
we
do
have
a
handful
that
pay
initially
up
front
for
their
annual
membership.
What
what
we've
determined
on
that
is
that
we
will
extend
the
membership
by
the
number
of
days
closed
example.
If
you
were
set
to
expire,
July
1st
and
we
are
closed
60
days,
you
won't
expire
until
September,
1st,
ok,.
G
Would
just
kind
of
toss
back
to
what
Matt
had
kind
of
mentioned,
but
I
really
do
think
and
Terry
has
done
an
awesome
job
of
citing
how
much
he's
actually
read
the
guidelines,
he's
very
well-versed
in
it
and
he's
demonstrated
that
multiple
times
but
giving
us
the
blanket.
These
are
open.
I
think
the
part
board
can
easily
dictate
this
in
a
way
that
makes
sense.
I
mean
Terry's,
demonstrating
great
caution
already
with
the
incremental
nosov.
G
This
I
think
that
there's
legitimate
cause
that
we
couldn't
trust
this
to
those
people
to
operate
I
mean
the
staff
is
going
to
know
better
than
anyone
what
their
capabilities
are
then
just
continuing
to
remind
folks
if
you
are
at
risk,
if
you
feel
ill,
please
do
the
public
some
good
stay
home.
Take
care
of
yourself,
bye,
I
I
think
they
have
a
pretty
good
handle
on
this
I.
Don't
think
it
needs
to
come
before
us
every
time
they
want
to
do.
C
I
C
I
That
step
that,
if
you're
under
18
you're
more
than
welcome,
but
you
need
to
be
accompanied
by
by
a
parent
or
guardian
and
if
you're
under
eight
grade,
you
know
we
don't
allow
them
to
be
on
the
cardio
equipment
or
upstairs
they
will
only
have
access
to
the
walking
track
and
that's
a
lot
to
control
the
numbers
and
that
make
it
a
collective
social
situation.
I
mean
if
we
have
high
school
age
or
junior
high
that
do
want
to
work
out.
I
We
more
than
welcome
them,
but
they
do
need
to
be
with
a
parent,
and
we
do
have
this
ready
to
roll
out
all
these
different
guidelines.
Things
like
that.
Obviously,
waiting
on
council
action
before
you
make
that
presentation
to
the
public,
but
you
are
right:
councilman
Albertson
there
there
will
be
age
restrictions
to
prevent
it
to
be
just
a
social
environment.
That
facility
is
open
for
the
purpose
of
physical
activity.
C
You
don't
happen
to
be
at
that
event,
that
day
for
those
couple
of
days
and
then
do
something
that
would
go
against
the
I'm
still
worried
about
the
medical
field
in
this
situation
that
we're
in
because
it's
so
traumatic
for
them.
Potentially
that
I,
like
the
idea
that
we
opened
the
two
areas
tonight
with
your
you
came
here
and
told
us
what
you
think
you're
going
to
do,
which
is
great.
We
support
that.
C
C
F
C
Just
I
want
to
I
would
concur
with
what
Dan
said
and
I
think
the
ramifications
of
these
decisions
are
pretty
important,
and
it's
not
that
I,
don't
trust
the
folks
on
the
park
and
Rec
board.
You
know
I'm
on
there
I'm
the
liaison
and
I'm
a
voting
member
of
that
board
and
I
think
they're
doing
a
bang-up
job
and
I
think
Terry's
done
an
excellent
job
in
working
with
this
whole
situation.
I
C
C
I
I
The
zoo
would
need
approximate
because
we
wouldn't
need
to
do
some
preventive
maintenance
items,
some
plexiglass
surfaces
to
close
up
some
coin
mechanisms,
so
that
may
take
a
little
longer
to
roll
out,
but
we
could
open
the
Wellness
Center
very
quickly
based
on
what
the
council
action
is
this
evening.
So
all.
F
Terry
I
made
the
motion,
but
now
I
want
to
ask
you:
are
you
comfortable
that
we've,
given
you
quite
a
bit
of
authority
now
over
court
over
the
course
or
you,
or
that
you,
your
staff
and
the
board
quite
a
bit
of
authority
over
the
course,
the
next
two
weeks
now
before
we
as
a
council
mean?
Are
you
comfortable
with
that?
With
that
authority.
I
You
know
I'm
comfortable,
bringing
it
forth
honestly,
I
I
think
these
are
decisions
that
you
know,
I
have
no
problem
making
the
incision
but
I
think
they
truly
are
joint
decisions.
You
know
and
I
would
communicate
anything
prior
with
what,
with
our
board
our
Facilities
Committee
our
president
of
the
board,
the
mayor's
office,
our
camp
Council,
the
Azon,
you
know
mr.
Bueller,
those
type
of
things.
It
would
be
a
consensus
decision.
It
wouldn't
be
me
just
thinking
it's
it's
ready
to
move
forward.
I
C
I
You
know,
typically,
when
we
look
at
that,
you
know
and
that
same
question
Adam
was
asked.
You
know,
tennis
typically
may
be
a
match
of
four
people.
You
know
if
you
play
doubles,
we
can
really
that's
a
sport
that
cohabit
in
the
same
household
family.
That's
easy
to
identify
that!
That's!
What's
going
on!
You
know
you
get
to
softball
and
there's
teams
of
15,
13,
kids,
there's
two
coaches:
there's
the
parents,
there's
the
dugouts
there's!
I
You
know
even
that
dog
park
which
we
open.
The
only
thing
we're
dealing
with
there
is
a
gate
that
we
have
asked
people
through
signage
to.
Please
wear
gloves
when
you
do
open
and
close
that
gate
with
a
with
a
complex
like
your
foundations,
your
cooks,
your
premiere,
the
areas
of
contamination
are
great
and
you're,
no
see
groups
of
10
to
12,
having
a
team
practice
and
really
what
we
know.
We
know
what's
going
on
there.
It's
it's
different
households,
just
sharing
the
same
equipment
and
I
would
be
doing
my
job
if
I.
I
If
I
closed,
close
and
I
to
that
scenario,
you
know
we're
all
in
this
together
we're
trying
we're
trying
to
adhere
that
to
the
guidelines.
You
know,
I
have
no
promise
that
for
you
and
your
kids
or
anybody
else
and
the
whole
family
goes
on
against
balls
around,
but
it
just
seems
to
open
up
that
environment
that
you
know
and
we've
seen
it.
You
know
I've
come
around
before
I
Drive
by
disc
golf
courses,
I
Drive
by
playgrounds
and
there.
A
I
Those
people
that
just
simply
do
not
adhere
to
our
recommendations
and
we
have
a
you
know.
This
is
a
softball
mecca
of
South
Dakota
and
it
really
the
Midwest
and
we
have
teams
itching
to
get
on
those
complexes
in
the
minute
those
doors
open
and
they
start
seeing
traffic
I
think
it's
going
to
be
a
snowball
effect.
This
can
be
hard.
You
know
for
me
because,
right
now,
within
the
board,
it's
not
really
enforceable.
I
You
know
that
that
we're
doing
citations-
we're
really
relying
on
on
personal
conduct
to
adhere
to
those
but
I
got
to
do
everything
I
can
to
ensure
that
we
don't
offer
an
open,
invite.
You
know
to
do
that.
Do
that
kind
of
activity,
so
you
know,
is
there
really
a
large
difference?
No,
it's
one
piece
of
equipment,
it's
one
ball,
but
the
potential
for
exploiting
the
record
I'd
lines
is
so
much
greater
at
a
complex
than
a
tennis
court.
Well,.
C
A
I
I
Is
to
really
facilitate
your
decisions.
You
know
me
closing.
The
complex
is
a
recommendation
for
myself
saying
we
don't
have
the
staff
to
control
if
it
gets
out
of
hand.
Things
like
that,
but
I
truly
work
for
the
city
and
carry
out
the
request
from
both
our
board
and
the
council.
You
know
if
the
council
deems
that
they
want
to
move
in
that
direction.
We
will
do
everything
possible
to
ensure
a
safe
environment
and
we'll
go
that
way.
Now.
I,
don't
know
if
that
helps
you.
B
Want
to
kind
of
keep
this
moving
along.
We
have
a
motion
and
a
second
and
I'm
going
to
look
for
action
here.
So
the
motion
was
to
change
the
wording
on
the
resolution
to
allow
the
zoo
and
the
prairie
lakes
Wellness
Center
to
be
open
under
the
discretion
of
the
park
board
and
staff,
and
so
now
I'll
ask
for
roll
call
vote.

Yes,
sorry
Chris
just
gave
me
confirmation.
This
is
actually
it's,
probably
because
it's
so
long
ago,
but
this
is
actually
the
agreement
with
the
state
that
we
need
to
sign
to
be
able
to
get
reimbursed
for
the
flood
for
FEMA
Oh
from
Oh
very
from
2019.
So
that's
essentially
what
what
this
is.
Sorry,
okay,.
B
B
E
C
E
C
C
C
B
C
B
That
wasn't
a
vote
and
it
was
it's
not
a
budget
item
and
it's
something
that
mayor
before
me
started
and
and
he
did
all
the
requests
for
donations
from
individuals
and
when
the
time
came
for
me
to
start
doing
that.
That's
when
I
had
discussed
it
with
the
council
and
I
was
uncomfortable
and
proceeding.
B
The
council
directed
me
to
talk
to
the
unified
command,
but
they
I
got.
Nobody
telling
me
I
need
to
push
through
it
and
none
of
the
council
members
willing
to
really
step
forward
and
ask
for
money
for
me
and
I
was
uncomfortable.
Doing
that
and
then
I
did
take
it
to
the
unified
command.
It
wasn't
unanimous
on
the
unified
command,
but
was
the
the
majority
of
the
unified
commanders
felt?
B
It
was
appropriate
to
cancel
at
the
time
when
the
planning
was
going
on
because
the
landowner
was
uncomfortable
and
not
really
wanting
to
invite
thousands
of
people
to
their
property.
For
this
event
and
I
was
uncomfortable,
asking
for
money
to
support
it
and
I
was
also
uncomfortable,
asking
the
public
to
pay
for
it,
because
I'm
not
wanting
to
ask
individuals
to
pay
for
it
like
I,
have
in
the
past,
and
so
it
really
wasn't
a
council.
B
There
wasn't
a
council
vote,
it
wasn't
an
agenda
item,
but
I
didn't
get
any
pushback
from
anybody,
except
for
one
person
on
the
unified
command
team.
That
thought
we
should
wait
until
late
June
or
at
least
mid
June
and
the
landowner
said
no
nope,
there's
already
contracts,
hanging,
entertainment,
vendors,
procurement
of
equipment,
and
that
was
a
no-go
there.
So
it's
it's
not
that
fireworks
can't
happen.
B
It's
that
it's
an
inappropriate
thing
to
invite
thousands
of
people
to
come
on
to
somebody's
private
property
and
for
me
to
go
back
to
my
sponsors
and
say:
will
you
pay
for
this
I?
Don't
off
their
employees
or
their
struggling
right
now
and
I
just
did
not
want
to
do
that.
This
fireworks
event
is
huge
and
we
mark
it
for
it
months
and
months
in
advance,
all
over
many
states
away,
not
just
around
Watertown.
B
We
get
thousands
of
people
coming
from
outside
our
community
and
from
out
of
state
coming
to
see
the
fireworks
event
and
we
decided
not
to
move
forward
with
the
marketing
not
to
move
forward
with
the
procurement
of
vendors
and
entertainment
and
not
to
move
forward
with
solicitation
directly
as
it
has
been
done
in
the
past.
But
if
this
community
wants
to
have
fireworks
and
someone
wants
to
pay
for
that
by
all
means
step
forward,
and
if
someone
wants
to
plan
a
different
event,
we
could
probably
do
it.
B
I
went
to
the
loose
fireworks
event
and
I
drove
all
around
and
look.
People
were
very
cooperative
and
staying
in
their
vehicles
and
keeping
to
themselves,
and
it
was
lots
and
lots
of
people
enjoyed
that
event,
and
we
could
do
something
like
that,
but
the
cost
of
it
will,
if
you
want
to
bring
it
forward,
to
have
the
city
pay
for
that
event.
Out
of
our
dwindling
tax
dollars
this
year,
you
can
make
that
motion
I
personally,
it
would
not
favor
that,
because
I
know
we're
already
cutting
projects
and
we're.
B
C
B
Not
yes,
I'd
be
great.
If
someone
wants
to
step
forward
and
plan
that
event,
the
the
event
that
we
did
at
the
Redlands
Center
requires
months
and
months
of
planning
and
the
planning
team
was
uncomfortable,
moving
forward
with
that
and
there's
a
very
few
people
that
do
a
ton
of
work
on
that
and
had
to
have
started
already
on
that
and
that's
why
the
decision
was
made
to
Mott
not
move
forward
with
that
event.
But
that's
not
to
say
we
can't
do
any
firework
event
in
Watertown.
B
Outside
and
the
marketing
stuff
by
the
CVB
and
then
the
Redland
center
director
does
a
ton
of
work
on
that
and
the
three
of
us
do
the
we're
the
core
ones
that
do
the
work
to
make.
That
event
happen,
but
there's
a
whole
team
of
people
that
last
year
at
this
time
had
already
met
several
times
and
the
transit
the
school
district,
the
police
fire
Public
Works
lose
fireworks
the
Terrax
there's
people
aren't
like
twelve
people
on
the
committee.
B
That
would
have
already
met
numerous
times
to
talk
about
the
logistics
of
making
that
event
happen,
and
that
that
would
just
be
really
inappropriate
this
year
with
the
uncertainty
of
what
we're
gonna
be
going
through.
At
that
time,
we
might
still
be
needing
to
be
socially
distant
and
I
would
say
there
is
a
very,
very
good
likely
chance
that
at
the
beginning
of
July,
we
will
still
be
asking
people
to
maintain
a
social
distance.
So
you
can
do
some.
H
G
I
would
just
say
kind
of
to
Adams
point
a
little
bit
with
this,
and
here's
to
mer
I
mean
we
did
the
event,
this
Saturday
on
extremely
extremely
short
notice,
and
it
still
ended
up
being
a
positive
event.
I
just
I
feel
like
if
we
put
it
out
there
to
the
public,
give
them
an
option
for
how
they
maybe
could
contribute.
We
could
at
least
still
achieve
a
fireworks
display,
and
maybe
a
partnership
with
one
of
the
local
radio
stations
to
still
do
something.
G
B
G
B
B
Completely
and
I
didn't
want
people
to
compare
a
dud
of
an
event
this
year
with
only
a
thousand
people
there
compared
to
previously
I
mean
that
event
is
not
happening,
so
we'll
postpone
we'll
do
another
one
later,
but
this
year,
whatever
we
do,
is
going
to
be
different
and
I'm
open
to
suggestions
on
that
and
I
really
would
need
someone
to
offer
to
plan
it.
I.
B
B
C
B
B
B
Okay.
The
next
item,
then,
is
announcements
that
I
do
have
a
couple
of
announcements.
Our
own
president
of
Lake,
Area,
Technical,
College,
Mike
Carney,
has
been
nominated
for
the
Hall
of
Fame
South
Dakota
Hall
of
Fame.
So
that's
really
fantastic
and
well
deserved.
Congratulations,
Mike,
Kurt
knee
on
that,
and
there
was
supposed
to
be
tonight
a
teacher,
Watertown
middle
school
teacher
appreciation
parade.
It's
been
postponed
until
Wednesday,
May,
6
from
6
to
7:30
p.m.
B
National
travel
and
tourism
week
and
I
have
a
proclamation
to
read
where,
as
in
2019,
Watertown
saw
a
record
number
of
visitors
and
experienced
its
10th
straight
year
of
growth,
whereas
both
overnight
and
regional
visitors
contributed
to
3.3
million
dollars
in
gross
receipts.
Tax
and
general
fund
tax
contribution.
G
C
F
Things
I
think
every
year
that
I've
been
since
I've,
been
the
council
I've
gotten
in
a
soapbox
about
this
time
of
the
year.
Concerning
golf
carts,
two
things.
First
of
all
golf
golf
carts
are
not
meant
to
be
driven
on
the
bike
paths,
so
keep
that
in
mind,
and
secondly,
yesterday
morning
damn
they
were
going
by
your
place
up
and
down
South
Lake
Drive.
Three
three
look
like
teens,
probably
in
a
golf
cart,
weaving
all
over
the
road.
Those
are
not
toys.
People
that
drive
please
drive
responsibly
safely.
F
So
we
don't
see
an
accident
happen
with
those
golf
carts
and
on
a
brighter
note,
huge
shout
out
to
the
Watertown
of
fire-rescue.
Our
three-year-old
grandson
had
his
birthday
on
Saturday
and
got
a
drive
by
with
a
firetruck
and
just
a
really
excited
him.
So
thanks
so
much
for
that
program,
I
was
told.
There's
been
220
as
of
Saturday
morning
drive-bys,
since
that
program
started
so
huge.
Thank
you
to
the
Watertown
Fire
Rescue
people
all.
H
You
mayor,
you
had
referenced
it
a
little
bit
earlier,
but
I
wanted
to
do
an
official.
Thank
you
to
lose
fireworks
and
the
ridership
family
and
all
of
their
employees
for
putting
that
on.
I
was
also
out
there.
It
was
a
wonderful
event.
It
was
great
to
see
the
fireworks
and
you
could
just
tell
a
sense
of
community
pride,
and
so
thank
you
to
lose
fireworks
Dan
radish
at
and
everyone
involved
in
that.
Thank
you
right.
B
And
I
want
to
say
congratulations
to
the
community
of
Watertown
for
really
handling
the
the
social
distance
thing.
Yeah.
That
event
was
so
people
were
so
well
behaved.
There
was
no
problem
whatsoever,
so
that
was
really
great.
We've
demonstrated
we
can
do
this.
I
cannot
see
if
other
council
members
have
made
this
day.
I
got.
C
Few
people
that
put
that
on
kind
of
l'olam
spirit
of
that,
but
Alicia,
Helene
and
Tom
are
like
we're
up
in
the
plane.
Shooting
photos
of
the
community.
Teri
Kelly
and
his
crew
were
out
had
lights
on
at
the
stadium,
softball
fields,
Tim
to
me
and
Don
rolling
from
the
PD
and
the
fire
department's
got
their
people
involved.
It
was
a
pretty
neat
scene,
seeing
the
fire,
trucks
and
police
cars
out
and
then
Craig
boyens
from
the
school
district.
C
It
was
a
pretty
pretty
neat
event
across
the
state
and
all
the
mayor
talked
about
it
or
not
to
be
here.
The
I
talked
about
on
I,
believe
press
conference
last
week,
kind
of
a
nice
thing
to
see
people
I'll
turn
their
lights
on
flashers
out
I
know,
I
went
up
to
CNN's
Hill
and
their
watch.
People
asked
that
the
church
cross
the
street
with
their
lights
on.
C
D
Again,
that's
for
the
wastewater
rates
and
for
the
solid
waste
or
the
garbage
rates
that
we
collect
for
the
community
services
that
we
provide
we're
kind
of
at
a
point
here
where
we're
going
to
start
looking
at
a
lot
of
policy
based
decisions
and
how
we're
going
to
design
and
propose
to
the
entire
council
what
the
new
rates
should
be.
So
since
we're
we
have
the
poly
a
policy
based
decision
making
and
discussions
going
on.
D
C
D
D
He
comes
to
with
a
master's
degree
in
engineering
is
a
licensed
civil
engineer
with
about
16
years
of
engineering
experience
and
both
the
public
and
private
sectors,
and
so
was
recently
employed
with
the
city
of
Sioux
Falls,
and
he
worked
and
focused
on
the
capital
projects
division
down
there
in
the
engineering
department.
He
also
has
a
project
management,
professional
certification
from
the
project
management
institute.
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
plugging
in
skills
in
and
continuing
on
with
the
engineering
work
that
we
do.
B
G
B
B
Any
volunteers
to
serve
on
the
rate
Study
Committee,
please
let
me
know
otherwise,
I'll-
have
to
appoint
you
drag
you
into
it.
Alright,
we
are
there
any
other
announcements
before
I
close
out.
Ok,
we
do
have
just
a
really
quick
need
to
go
into
executive
session
pursuant
to
SDC
l1
25,
and
so
we
do
not
expect
to
take
any
action
upon
coming
out,
but
the
council
will
have
to
disconnect
from
this
meeting
and
join
into
the
executive
session
meeting
in
order
to
make
that
happen.
