My
name
is
amy
rambo
and
I
am
the
president
of
watertown
love,
I'm
a
very
passionate
member
of
this
community.
I
welcome
discussion
that
leads
to
understanding
before
the
council
meeting
last
month.
I
send
each
of
you
each
member,
an
email
with
my
contact
information.
I
ask
that
you
use
this
contact
information.
E
E
E
E
E
E
Some
city
council
members
have
spoke
how
they
want
to
do
something.
Then,
let's
please
do
something
form
a
human
rights
committee
for
the
rights
of
all
citizens
take
a
stand
and,
let's
protect
our
co-workers,
our
friends,
our
family,
our
children
and
our
neighbors
make
sure
that
the
city
is
looking
out
for
each
and
every
citizen.
E
Please
note
that
the
human
rights
commission
that
would
be
formed
by
mayor
kieran
is
not
the
same
as
a
national
human
rights
campaign.
I
know
that
there
seemed
to
be
some
confusion
in
august,
when
I
was
at
the
meeting,
then
no
citizen
should
have
to
fight
so
hard
for
equal
representation
and
rights.
No
one
wants
a
bigger
piece
of
pie.
They
just
want
an
equal
slice.
E
E
The
committee
was
created
for
the
purpose
of
developing
favorable
public
climate
to
foster
acceptance
and
meaningful.
Meaningful
integration
of
people
with
physical
and
mental
disabilities
within
the
community.
Members
include
those
with
disabilities,
parents
and
those
who
have
an
interest
in
our
challenges
faced
by
people
with
disabilities.
E
Members
include
people
from
all
religious
backgrounds,
abilities
the
lgbtq
community,
economic
backgrounds,
cultures
and
those
with
that
have
interests
and
challenges
faced
by
people
within
marginalized
communities
within
the
city
of
the
watertown.
Obviously,
this
could
be
added
to
and
tweaked
a
little.
E
E

A

G
G
We
did
check
the
state
bid
that
the
state
has
online
and
they
have
a
bid
through
lamb
motors
for
roughly
that
same
price,
but
it
doesn't
include
a
couple
of
the
options
that
we
put
in
our
vehicles,
so
the
actual
state
bid
is
just
a
little
higher
than
watertown
fort
chrysler.
So
we
recommend
going
with
watertown
fort
chrysler
bed.
G
Chief,
when
would
we
take
possession
of
these
actually
just
to
clarify
something?
This
is
for
2021.
These
are
cip
items
that
were
approved
in
the
cip,
so
we
will
be
ordering
them
soon
because
we
have
to
get
in
the
the
build
assembly
line
for
these
vehicles,
and
we
expect
to
receive
them
sometime
in
february
march
frame
is
when
we'll
get
them,
but
if
we
wait
until
january
in
order,
we
could
get
them
at
the
end
of
next
year.
G
G
Just
you
know,
frankly,
producing
vehicles
is,
are
we
december
february?
Is
that
a
pretty
pretty
straightforward
number
on
there?
We
were
told
if
we
could
have
our
order
in
by
october
1st,
we
would
be
the
first
batch
and
should
get
them
in
february.
We
just
now
received
our
last
car
from
this
year
that
we
ordered
right
before
the
first
of
the
year.
We
just
got
it
in-house
last
week
and
we
just
got
it
outfitted
and
it
should
be
on
the
street
yet
this
week.
G
G
G
D
This
is
glenn.
I
just
want
to
apologize
and
thank
you
I
I
was
one
that
suggested
pulling
this
off
the
consent
agenda,
just
because
the
dollar
amount,
and
especially
in
total
for
the
three
you've
answered.
I
I
question
only
one
bid
you've
answered
that,
and
I
also
was
going
to
ask
about
state
pool
options
and
you've
answered
that.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
but
you've
answered
my
questions.
C
G
C
C
C
H
Yes,
absolutely
thank
you
mayor
bob
indries
is
the
owner
and
has
petitioned
to
annex
and
zone
this
property.
That's
generally
located
south
of
highway
212
east
of
23rd
street
southeast.
This
property
is
approximately
eight.
It's
8.35
acres
upon
annexation
is
being
proposed
to
be
zoned
the
c3
highway
commercial
district.
H
The
petitioner
has
also
submitted
a
preliminary
plan
and
a
plat
that'll
be
subsequently
brought
forth
to
the
planning
commission
and
the
city
council
following
the
annexation
zoning.
If
it
were
approved,
the
comprehensive
land
use
plan
does
not
include
this
area,
but
the
proposed
c3
highway
commercial
district
is
consistent
with
the
land.
That's
adjacent
to
this
property.
H
As
far
as
the
zoning
is
concerned,
the
area
that
is
proposed
to
be
annexed
and
zoned
includes
the
extension
of
10th
avenue
southeast
from
26th
street
to
23rd
street,
and
the
planning
commission
recommended
approval
for
both
these
actions,
the
annexation
and
the
zoning
at
their
august
20th
meeting
unanimously
by
vote
of
seven
to
zero.
I
do
have
a
map
I'll
pull
up
here
for
reference.
H
I
That
is
correct
and
then,
but
as
far
as
how,
if
it's
appropriate
for
the
adjacent
land
uses,
there
is
c3
to
the
north
as
well
and
then
to
the
south
and
then
to
the
west
and
east.
So
it's
surrounded
with
c3
highly
commercial,
which
is
what
they're
proposing,
but
then
you'll
see
there
on
the
south
around
the
boundaries
of
it.
There
is
industrial,
the
i1
light
industrial
zoning
as
well,
and
then
just
to
clarify
too.
This
preliminary
plan
for
the
area
was
approved
by
the
planning
commission
at
the
september
10th
meeting
unanimously.
H
All
the
red
on
the
map
I
have
pulled
up,
your
mirror
would
be
c3
zoning
there's
a
small
portion
of
c2
zoning
here,
that's
more
in
a
pink
shaded
area,
but
all
this
red
is
c3.
Zoning
and
you'll
see
the
hatched
area
is
proposed
to
be
annexed
and
zoned,
a
portion
of
that,
of
course,
being
10th
avenue.
As
discussed.
A
A
C
B
A
You
all
right
item
two
is
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
20-35,
establishing
the
zoning
designation
of
c3
highway
commercial
district,
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
anyone
here
that
would
like
to
speak
about
this
issue?
If
so,
please
come
forward
or
say
if
you're
online
permission
to
speak.
A
J
J
A
A
Thank
you!
Man,
oh
we'll,
we'll
just
continue
after
that
right
now
we're
looking
at
the
andre's
property,
henry's
third
edition
rezoning
and
is
there
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
about
that?
Please
come
forward
and
see
no
one,
I'm
going
to
close
the
public
hearing
for
that
item
and
I
need
a
motion
for
action.
A
H
A
D
B
A
You
all
right,
thank
you.
So
item
b
on
the
regular
agenda
is
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
20-33
amending
the
zoning
map
of
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota
for
a
portion
of
country
club
estates,
edition
from
r1
single-family,
residential
district
and
p-u-d
planned
unit
development
to
cl
lake,
commercial
district
and
r1
single-family
residential
district.
A
H
H
Within
this
property,
it's
approximately
7.42
acres
are
being
considered
here
for
rezoning
and
the
comprehensive
land
use
plan
does
not
reflect
the
current
designation
of
a
pud
that
is
currently
existing.
It
does
show
as
future
residential
development.
This
property
is
currently
undeveloped
and
prairie
winds.
Golf
llc
is
planning
on
developing
the
property
upon
rezoning
I'll
note
that
the
cl
lake
commercial
district
was
developed
strategically
to
allow
for
mixed-use
development
in
phil,
adjacent
to
residentially,
zoned
properties,
near
lake
compesca
and
lake
pelican.
H
That's
why
the
applicant
has
chosen
to
exercise
that
potential
zoning
district
for
this
area.
There
are
certain
limitations
with
that
cl
district
they're
outlining
the
zoning
ordinance.
It
was
recently
adopted
relating
to
the
exterior
walls
facing
the
are
any
r1
districts
and
how
they're
required
to
be
finished
with
certain
specific
materials,
there's
also
other
restrictions,
regulations
regarding
the
setbacks
and
the
amount
of
grass
or
buffer
area
on
the
edges
of
any
cl,
lots
that
are
zone
cl
and
other
items.
To
note.
H
Looking
at
my
summary
here,
if
the
rezone
is
approved,
there
will
be
a
subsequent
vacation
and
re-plat
of
the
of
this
edition,
and
the
planning
commission
recommended
approval
at
the
august
20th
meeting
on
a
split
vote
of
five
to
two
and
again
staff
is
on
line
with
us
today
and
either
there.
I
would
be
glad
to
help
answer
any
questions
council
might
have.
J
J
J
J
There
were
very
few
places
where
fish
could
reproduce
spawn
in
our
lake
and
his
suggestion
was
to
go
to
these
lowlands
around
the
lake
and
find
ways
for
fish
to
move
back
and
forth
from
the
orleans
into
the
lake,
and
so
the
fingerlings
would
be
able
to
hide
in
those
low
ends
until
they
grew
a
bit
and
moved
into
the
lake.
Well,
if
we
begin
a
program
of
filling
the
low
ends,
what
we
call
the
jewel
of
watertown
lake
kampesca
will
no
longer
have
an
opportunity
to
really
grow
the
fishery
game,
fish
and
park
stocks.
J
J
So
in
conclusion,
really
we
are
opposed
to
this
to
the
filling
of
this
particular
zone
area
and
all
of
the
lake,
and
we
we
would
oppose
it,
and
we
would
ask
that
the
city
would
advise
us
when
applications
have
been
made
to
fill
any
of
the
lowlands
inside
the
100-year
flood.
We're
not
concerned-
and
our
point
is
not
to
deal
with
outside
that
zone.
J
A
J
Those
are
some
of
the
mechanics
we
think
really
need
to
come
forward
here.
If
we're
going
to
be
able
to
protect
our
lake-
and
you
know,
that's
why
we
spent
65
000
for
that
master
plan
or
or
whatever
it
was,
and
all
the
people
that
participated
in
it.
So
that's
our
position
and
we
only
come
here
because
we're
concerned
about
the
lake
and
we
appreciate
your
time.
D
F
H
J
D
K
K
Hello,
my
name
is
vince
foley
and
to
my
right
is
charlie
mack.
We
are
the
proponents
and
petitioners
of
of
this
of
this
project,
and
we
want
to
speak
here
on
behalf
of
the
those
items
that
support
the
concept
of
this.
This
rezoning,
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
you
know
is
important
to
us,
is
that
you
know
we.
We
submitted
this
through
the
planning
commission
and
they
they
had
an
affirmative
vote.
K
Second,
I
do
want
to
also
address
the
point
of
why
the
city,
the
the
cl
zoning,
makes
sense
in
this
particular
situation.
The
purpose
governing
documents
are
always
a
change
changing
process,
and
you
made
the
determination
as
the
council
that
the
cl
district
made
sense
for
what
we
wanted.
We,
as
a
community
wanted
to
accomplish
for
the.
K
The
lake
and
and
the
community,
this
particular
stretch,
if
you
look
from
a
higher
elevation
than
just
simply
looking
at
the
map,
it's
it's
a
main
section
line
that
goes
all
the
way
through
to
lake
pelican,
it
a
main
thoroughfare
that
that
serves
not
only
compescu
but
could
serve
people
that
might
want
to
be
down
in
the
the
pelican
area.
Number
one
number,
two,
that
stretch
of
property
of
south
lake
drive,
is
congested.
K
A
second
point
along
those
lines,
as
it
relates
to
the
the
particular
issues
that
mr
blow
addressed
and
the
the
concern
about
the
fisheries
I'm
an
outdoorsman.
I
wish
compesca
had
more
fish
than
it
does,
but
this
isn't
the
this
parcel.
Isn't
that
solution?
All
you
have
to
do
is
look
across
south
lake
drive
and
there's
no
place
to
put
any
sort
of
of
piping
to
turn
this
into
a
fisheries
pond.
Now
I
haven't
been
approached
by
anybody
for
for
that
to
be
a
fisheries
pond.
K
So
it's
one
thing
to
say
this
is
this:
is
a
nice
idea
that
we
should
do
a
fisheries
pond
to
a
stocking
pond?
That
is
important
to
look
at
the
practicalities,
I
think
of
of
the
site,
to
think
about
whether
or
not
that's
viable,
but
also
having
lived
painfully
through
the
the
issue
of
the
1997
flood
and
everything
that
followed
with
the
mahoney
creek
dam
process.
K
I
think
it's
important
that
when
we
talk
about
flood
control,
we
actually
think
about
what
we're
talking
about
in
this
particular
portion
of
the
hundred
year.
Flood
plain
this
this
portion
is
that
excess
in
a
big
flood
event
that
would
absorb
that
flow,
and
then
the
balance
of
the
flows
goes
down
the
river.
Until
the
hydraulic
pressure
is
equalized,
then
it
balloons
back
out
or
pushes
back
out
in
an
ameliorated
amount
of
water,
and
so
we're
not
talking
about
an
impingement
upon
the
floodway.
K
H
K
K
Okay,
so
so
then,
if
you
think
about
what-
and
let
me
back
up
for
a
moment-
we're
talking
about
a
zoning
project,
but
let's
let's,
let's
understand
that-
we've
been
front
with
what
we
were
considering
it.
It
all
needs
to
be
approved
through
the
planning
process.
It
still
might
run
a
fall
of
the
planning
process,
but
this
rezoning
we
wanted
to
be
upfront
with
what
we
were
thinking
about,
so
that
it
wasn't
a
matter
of
hide
the
ball,
and
so
we
fit
this
into
the
cl
district.
K
And
so
what
we're
appearing
today
is
on
that
rezoning.
But
I'm
I'm
responding
to
the
issue
of
the
the
flood
amounts,
and
so,
if
you
take
and
consider
that
that
area
of
the
green
space
or
that
area
of
the
of
the
lot
it
that
funny
shaped
lot,
that
would
be
part
of
the
50
percent.
That
is
not
turned
into
detention
pond,
and
then
you
subtract
the
actual
volume
that
the
pond
would
take
for
storage.
You
end
up
with
that
788
000
cubic
feet
figure.
Did
you
get
it.
K
K
K
K
Okay,
okay,
all
right!
Thank
you!
So
if
you
think,
then
about
what
impact
that
has
on
the
flood
a
storage
unit
like
the
area
that
we're
talking
about
absorbs
water
waits
to
hydraulic
pressure,
equalizes
then
puts
water
out,
so
even
in
a
in
a
flood
event,
it
wouldn't
quite
be
adding
to
the
top
of
the
flows,
but
just
for
the
sake
of
argument,
let's
talk
about
adding
it
to
the
top
of
the
flow.
K
Now
anybody
that
was
around
in
97
knows
that
three
and
a
half
gallons
wouldn't
amount
to
much
keep
in
mind.
That's
not
how
a
flood
works.
Normally,
you
don't
just
take
storage
out
and
put
it
on
top
the
hydraulic
pressure
equalizes,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
remain
consistent.
Also,
it
stuck
in
my
mind
because
I
remember
in
97,
when
we
were
dealing
with
the
aftermath
in
the
meeting
upstairs
rick
schlechter
said
something
to
the
effect
of
well.
The
peak
flows,
this
building
above
ground
it.
K
It
actually
turns
out
to
be
pretty
darn
close
if
you
think
about
the
cubic
feet.
So
this
is
the
the
effect
of
the
flood
at
the
peak
flow,
and
so,
if
I
had
three
gallon
three
and
a
half
gallons
of
milk
lined
up
that's
what
we'd
be
adding,
but
even
today
I
couldn't
figure
out
how
to
make
the
picture
from
my
camera
work.
K
Just
ten
percent
of
what
we're
talking
about
here.
So
the
concept
that
we're
we're
somehow
having
adverse
effect
on
on
the
on
the
flood.
Any
flood
that
might
happen
is
is
is
small
number
one
number
two,
your
zoning
ordinances
strongly
support
the
idea
that
we
need
something
around
the
lake
and-
and
we
come
together
with
a
an
idea
and
a
project
and
a
cooperative
effort
to
to
try
to
to
do
that.
The
the
demand
is
there
and
and
I'll.
L
Thanks
vince,
that
was
impressive.
I
hadn't
got
to
see
all
those
details
laid
out
like
that,
yet
I
knew
you
had
that
prepared,
but
yeah,
so
vince
is
taking
care
of
the
legal
side,
the
zoning
side,
putting
together
this
presentation
that
you
saw
here.
I've
been
working
on
the
back
end
working
with
contractors
to
find
out
if
this
is
economically
feasible
but,
more
importantly,
talking
to
the
adjacent
landowners
along
south
lake
drive.
L
As
of
today.
The
project
that
we
are
talking
about
has
been
very
it
created.
A
lot
of
excitement
for
those
south
lake
drive
landowners,
so
the
ones
that
we
would
probably
want
to
be
the
most
concerned
about
what
they
thought
about
the
project
are
actually
the
same
landowners
that
are
asking
to
purchase
these
units.
L
L
We
know
that
there
is
a
strong
demand
for
storage
on
south
lake
drive.
We
think
that
the
piece
of
property
that
vince-
and
I
are
working
on
that
prairie
winds
is
working
with
vince
on
is
a
perfect
location.
It's
not
directly
on
south
lake
drive
it's
about
two
to
three
blocks
south
on
a
gravel
road,
the
design
of
the
property.
The
way
we
have
these
buildings
laid
out,
we
think,
is
going
to
look
very
nice.
We've
got
trees
planned
for
around
the
outside.
We've
got
siding.
L
We've
got
all
of
the
high-end
type
of
finishes
that
one
would
want
to
see
along
south
lake
drive,
so
we
think
we've
done
our
part
to
present
a
plan
to
meet
the
desires
of
those
south
lake.
Pro
south
lake
drive
property
landowners,
and
so
I
guess
I'm
here
to
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
specific
to
that.
A
A
C
D
They're
up
here,
charlie
referencing,
what
you
said
about
the
the
design
and
the
layout
of
the
storage
units?
What
so
you're
saying
the
the
adjoining
or
the
adjacent
land
owners?
I
I
I
have
been
in
contact
with
one.
In
fact
he
spoke
at
the
planning
commission
meeting
in
opposition,
but
in
general
you're,
getting
a
pretty
good,
pretty
good,
feel
from
the
homeowners
or
landowners
out
there.
L
L
L
People
that
own
the
lakeside
property
are
purchasing
the
lot
across
the
street
and
then
they're
building
a
manshed
or
a
a
building
that
just
barely
conforms
to
the
city's
requirements.
So
essentially,
it's
a
3,
000
square
foot
garage
and
I
think
the
city
requires
something
like
300
square
feet
of
living
space,
and
so
they
they've
shoehorned
this
in
and
you
end
up
with
a
lot
of
these
buildings
built
along
and
if
you
look
you'll,
see
and
possibly
one
of
the
people
you're
talking
about
that
expressed.
L
K
Well,
I
can
address
that
and
that's
one
of
the
particular
reasons
we
picked.
The
cl
district
is
because
of
the
those
new
requirements
because
charlie
lives
on
south
lake
drive.
My
mother
has
a
cabin
on
on
south
lake
drive,
and
so
the
the
screening
is
important,
and
so
it's
it
has
to
be
a
coniferous
deciduous
mix,
and
I
mean
that
would
be
our
intention
at
this
point
and
if
something
more
is
required.
K
Yes,
I
a
couple
other
things
that
I'd
address
in
the
way
of
the
look
and
the
appearance
is.
There's
I've
made
a
personal
commitment
that
there
will
be
a
physical
barrier
that
will
prevent
vehicles
from
traveling
west
off
the
property
down
to
the
west,
the
the
particular
landowner
that
we
spoke
about.
K
I
promised
him
that
that
that's
a
personal
obligation,
another
thing
that
we
did
we
technically
didn't
have
to
do,
but
we
oriented
the
western
the
buildings
on
the
west
so
that
the
doors
pointed
in
and
so
that
it
would
just
be
the
back
side
of
the
buildings
that
have
to
conform
to
the
cl
residential,
siding
and
architectural
feature
language
and
which
is
it
has
to
have
a
nice
appearance.
These
aren't
these
aren't
metal
sheds.
K
D
K
That's
that's
not
an
access,
that's
just
a
platted
lot
and
the
the
plat
we
will
seek
is
to
make
that
strip
with
the
three
remaining
lots,
all
one
lot,
but
are
one
and
for
whatever
the
future
holds
there
and
and
again
to
that
neighboring
landowner.
I've
made
a
commitment
that
nothing
is
going
to
be
built
there.
So.
C
Councilman
buehler,
thank
you.
Man,
hey
fellas,
just
a
couple
questions
for
you.
The
screening
part
of
this
you're,
looking
at
probably
the
north
and
the
west
part,
is
that,
where
you're
thinking
about
screening,
yes
and
and
then
there's
been
some
discussion,
I
think
about
detention
ponds.
Is
that
still
in
the
in
the
thought
process
to
develop
some
detention
ponds
for
the
hydrology
part
of
this
and
then
one
other
question,
and
that
is
how
much
fill
are
you
looking
at?
Did
you
say
you
were
intending
to
put
in
there
where
those
storage
sheds
would.
K
K
Frankly,
I
wanted
to
have
a
pond
that
my
grandkids
could
fish
in,
but
the
that
still
would
have
to
be
approved
by
the
planning
and
zoning
under
the
planning,
whether
it's
an
acceptable
concept,
it
still
will
have
the
volume
the
the
free
board
above
the
high
water
mark
or
whatever.
That
measurement
is
that
we
have
to
use,
as
the
base
still
addresses
all
of
this
stormwater
detention.
K
That
was
just
the
figure
that
I
used
to
illustrate
the
figure
it's
going
to
be
for
4.5,
probably,
but
it.
What
I
was
using
for
volume
was
straight
sides
which
of
course,
wouldn't
wouldn't
be
the
case,
but
I
mean
that's
why
we
use
that
figure
just
to
just
to
present
a
conservative
figure,
as
opposed
to
being
overly
optimistic.
C
Mayor,
I
would
like
to
make
one
comment
if
I
could
sure
just
you
know,
in
kind
of
studying
this
and
visiting
with
folks
in
the
in
planning
here,
you
know,
I
I
think
the
commercial
development
of
this
would
require.
I
mean
you
can
put
commercial
buildings
actually
in
the
flood
area.
You
can
position
them
and
they
can
they're.
Actually,
you
can
they're
built
so
that
if
it
floods
it
floods
and
that's
just
the
materials
have
to
be
correct.
The
power
there's
a
number
of
things
that
have
to
be
considered
to
do
that
versus.
C
M
M
A
little
bit
of
a
destruction
leads
to
a
great
destruction.
Sooner
or
later.
That's
how
we've
gotten
partially
into
the
problem
that
we
have
at
the
lake.
Now
we've
gone
along
and
we
just
fill
and
fill
and
fill
and
fill,
and
then
we
turn
around
and
we
look
at
the
people
that
live
up
north
of
lake
compesca
and
we
want
to
take
six
thousand
acres
away
from
them
to
build
a
dam
to
protect
what
we're
not
willing
to
protect
in
our
own
backyard.
M
And
if
you
participate
in
this
and
that's
really
what
this
is.
It's
a
participation
on
your
part,
because
the
development
as
it's
currently
planted
as
a
residential
development
probably
does
not
make
economic
sense,
because
they'd
have
to
build
a
fairly
long
road
through
there,
and
the
cost
of
residential
land
is
cheaper
than
commercial
land.
M
So
what
they're
asking
you
to
do
is
pretty
much
eliminate
the
need
for
them
to
build
a
road,
so
they
would
only
have
to
come
in
from
a
small
part
of
54th
street
and
they
would
have
one
very
large
commercial
lot
in
an
area
that
should
be
residential,
but
they
would
have
one
commercial
lot
where
they
would
be
able
to
have
very
intensive
development
and
make
a
very
substantial
profit
off
of
that
on
a
residential
one.
They
would
not
be
able
to
make
that
kind
of
a
profit.
So
what
you're
doing
by
rezoning?
M
This
is
making
that
land
more
valuable
you're,
making
it
more
likely
that
they
would
come
in
with
four
and
a
half
feet
of
fill
now.
This
is
this
is
a
storage
development.
This
is
not
something
that,
like
is
you
know
a
new
clubhouse
or
something
like
that.
That
would
be
essential
to
a
golf
course.
They
don't
even
want
it
for
the
golf
course
they
want
the
profits
from
it.
So
what
they,
what
they
want.
M
I
mean
you
can
take
this
whole
development
and
move
it
a
half
a
mile
up
the
road
on
a
hill,
that's
not
in
a
flood
zone
and
and
serve
the
same
need,
but
instead
because
that's
where
the
land
is
that
they
own
down
low,
that's
where
they
want
to
develop
what
the
lake
compescu
water
district
did
in
its
letter
to
you
was
encourage
you
not
to
use
zoning
as
an
incentive
to
fill
the
land
around
lake
compesca.
That's
what
this
is.
You
change
the
zoning.
M
M
M
We
purchased
that
land
specifically
to
prevent
it
from
being
filled
and
developed.
The
city
did
also
purchased
the
third
avenue
pond,
so
the
city
also
has
a
history
of
trying
to
protect
that
flood
plain
and
the
lake
district
is
encouraging.
You
in
this
particular
instance
to
not
provide
the
incentive
for
them
to
fill
this
flood
area.
Thank
you.
F
Speak
mike
lawrence,
I
kind
of
came
about
this.
It
working
close
at
stony
point
and
seeing
the
development
in
that
area.
It's
a
highly
commercialized
area,
it's
a
place
where
a
lot
of
people
want
to
be
some
of
the
smallest
lots
and
smallest
houses
go
for
the
most
amount
of
money
in
that
area
between
the
two
golf
courses
as
they
as
they
said.
You
know
there
is
an
issue
same
issue
we
have
with
the
condos.
F
Where
do
we
put
our
stuff
we're
going
to
be
moving
out
of
a
house
on
lake
compesca?
Where
do
I
put
my
golf
cart?
Where
do
I
put
my
a
lot
or
things
that
my
boats
and
things
like
that?
Those
are
those
are
some
of
the
questions
that
come
up
to
me
personally
and
that's
why
I
kind
of
I
am
leaning
towards
this
as
far
as
filling
in
the
flood
zone.
One
thing
I
found
kind
of
interesting
in
this
argument:
is
it
if
it's
zoned
now
you
can
fill
it?
F
F
I
mean
you
know
that
the
water
goes
down
into
watertown.
If
you're
going
to
be
telling
the
lake
people
that
they
can't
fill
around
on
their
property
that
they
own,
then
you
have
to
take
that
into
town.
We,
you
know,
because,
when
you're
filling
in
town
in
the
hundred
year
flood
zone,
that's
going
to
back
it
up
into
lake
pesk
into
my
house,
which
is
in
the
flood
zone,
so
you're
picking
winners
and
losers.
F
Here,
how
can
you
tell
people
out
by
the
lake
that
they
can't
do
it
where,
in
the
same
watershed
downstream
you
allow
it
at
an
even
bigger
rate?
I
mean
there's
more
land.
Obviously
in
watertown
that
are
is
in
the
hundred
year,
flood
zone
than
there
is
in
in
around
the
lake.
So
that's
something
that
I
find
a
little
odd
is.
F
Kind
of
interesting
is
you're
choosing
to
take
who
you're
you're,
picking
who
you're
taking
property
rights
from
without
any
sort
of
compensation
you
know
and
when
it
gets
into
well,
they
can
make
money
at
this
right
now
we're
getting
contacted
in
our
development
by
people
from
sioux
falls
and
brookings
and
and
other
places
that
don't
have
this
type
of
development.
They
don't
have
people
standing
up
and
saying
I'm
going
to
build
this
and
I'm
going
to
build
this.
You
know
the
soo
steel
project
is
on
hold.
F
You
know
you
look
at
bob
drake,
you
look
at
these
guys.
You
look
at
all
the
other
development,
that's
going
on
in
watertown,
that's
money
coming
in!
And
yes,
this
isn't
always
about
money,
but
it's
also
about
property
rights.
And
it's
you
it's
your
decision
to
pick
who
you
take
your
property
rights
from,
but
that
would
be
something
that
I
would
say
you
would
have
to
do
across
the
board.
F
If
you're
not
going
to
allow
the
100
year
flood
zone
to
be
filled
at
the
lake,
then
anywhere
around
the
river,
it
shouldn't
be
filled
anywhere
in
town.
It
shouldn't
be
filled
because
that's
where
the
water
goes.
So
that's
those
are
my
my
comments
on
it.
I
just
think
that
when
you
get
people
that
want
to
develop-
and
there
is
a
want
from
them,
like
you
said,
23
people
that
are
on
south
lake
drive
have
a
need
for
this.
F
If
it
doesn't
come
down
to
well
they're
just
doing
it
for
profit,
obviously
nobody's
going
to
get
into
a
development
like
this.
If
there's
no
incentive
to
do
it,
I
always
pat
these
guys
on
the
back,
because
they're
coming
up
with
a
plan
they're
taking
the
risk
they're
putting
it
out
there,
they're
they're,
making
a
project
out
here,
that's
going
to
increase
property
values,
it's
going
to
increase
the
aesthetics
of
the
lake,
because
people
are
going
to
be
able
to
put
things
away
overall,
I
think
it's
a
good
project.
F
N
Hello,
brian
brand
right
vince
touched
on
something
that
I
was
thinking
about
when
I,
when
I
sat
in
my
chair
tonight,
when
we
fill
three
four
feet,
the
difference
it
makes
on
a
large
project
on
a
large
body
of
water
like
it's
so
meniscus,
it's
just
it's
it's
so
tiny.
I
don't
think
it's
worth
bringing
up
another
thing
that
bruce
brought
up
building
a
commercial
property
in
the
flood
zone.
N
N
Actually.
I
live
on
the
west
side
of
the
lake
and
off
the
point.
This
spring
there
was
40
to
50
boats,
quite
a
few
nights
on
compasca.
They
weren't
there
for
the
heck
of
it.
They
caught
a
lot
of
fish
all
summer
long
there
was
four
or
five
boats
out
early
in
the
morning,
so
the
fishing's
done
pretty
well.
This
is
not
going
to
kill
that
by
no
stretch
of
the
imagination,
the
stony
point
project
that's
going
to
put
a
lot
of
people
on
the
water.
N
C
Eric
scott
and
I
just
say
as
another
developer
in
town,
I'm
a
little
bit.
I
get
a
little
bit
concerned
when
we
talk
about
using
zoning
designations
as
a
way
for
the
city
to
block
development
of
certain
types
of
things
or
to
you
know,
it
just
seems
like
a
little
bit
of
a
manipulation
and
could
be
it
could
be
over
years
used.
That's
concerning.
G
G
G
So
that's
what
we
do
so
having
storage,
I
think,
is
a
is
a
big
need,
especially
there
on
south
lake
drive.
You
know,
I
did
talk
to
one
contractor.
That
said
boy,
you
know
if
they
would
go
through
with
these
or
these
residential
lots
and
they
would
develop
and
put
houses
in
here
they
can
make
a
lot
more
money.
You
know
they.
Why
don't
they
do
that
and
then
I
talked
to
some
folks
and
it
sounds
like
it's.
G
Not
it's
not
just
about
the
money,
it's
about
what
what
the
need
is
there
and
what's
going
to
support
that
area
and
that's
not
more
houses.
That's
that's
storage
for
the
people
that
already
live
there
and
people
that
are
on
south
lake
drive.
So
I
would
hope
that
you'd
encourage
rezoning
this
for
these
folks.
I
think
it'd
be
a
great
thing.
Thanks.
N
N
I
I
said
numerous
times
like
when
the
city
has
time.
Why
can't
we
be
running
some
trucks
and
just
dumping
dirt
in
there
and
that's
a
pretty
nice
park,
and
now,
with
the
memorial
there,
it's
it's
a
little
bit
of
an
eyesore
when
there's
water
sitting
in
all
the
camp
spots,
so
I
would
hope
that
the
city's
continues
plans
to
continue
to
fill
there.
A
C
J
D
O
O
A
No,
it's
disconnected,
but
it
wetlands
that
are
disconnected
are
not
regulated
by
the
core
of
engineers,
doesn't
mean
they
don't
perform
a
function
that
wetlands
perform,
which
is
filtering
out
the
water,
and
you
know
so.
If
you
reduce
the
volume
below
the
base,
flood
elevation,
then
you're
reducing
the
capacity
to
filter
water.
That's
I
mean
you,
you
don't
have
to
do
any
calculations
to
understand
that
there's
a
loss
and
there
has
been
historically
a
loss
at
lake
compesca
from
the
very
first
construction
of
a
railroad
and
there's
not
much
left.
Actually.
A
G
A
Right,
the
that's
right
that
wouldn't
be
an
argument.
What
what
the
council
should
be
considering
is
this
an
appropriate
place
for
a
commercial
zone
at
the
lake,
an
appropriate
place
for
the
cl
zone,
and
that's
really
the
question
at
hand
and
whether
the
fill
goes
in
or
not.
The
fill
could
go
in
if
it's
cl
the
fill
could
go
in
if
it's
r1
the
fill
could
go
in
if
it's
pud
that
really
doesn't
matter
it
wouldn't
be
as
cost
effective.
I
think
was
the
point
of
that.
A
If
you
left
the
zoning
alone,
it
probably
won't
happen
just
because
it
won't
be
profitable.
So
by
leaving
it
alone,
you
know
it.
Yes,
they
have
a
building
right
and
they
retain
that
building
right,
but
there's
not
a
lot
in
it
because
it's
been
challenging
to
build
in
a
place
like
that.
So
I
think
that
was
the
point
that
was
being
made.
D
Oh
excuse
me
a
question
I
know
we've
had
I
mean
before
we
approve
the
cl
lake
district
designation.
There
were
areas
that
were
identified
as
being
possible
areas
for,
for
that
designation.
We
also
had
a
lake
and
pesca
master
plan
done.
We
had
a
comprehensive
land
use
plan
done.
Where
was
this?
How
did
this
area
shake
out?
In
those
particular
studies?.
A
I
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
So
when
we
adopted
the
lake
commercial
district,
we
did
include
this
area
within
the
boundary
map,
and
then
we
were
working
on
the
comprehensive
land
use
update
at
that
time
too.
So
they
did
touch
on.
They
referenced
the
lake
commercial
district
and
said
that
this
would
be
an
appropriate
area
for
commercial
when
it's
redeveloped
at
lake
compesco.
I
A
A
A
I
So
you'll
see
here
this
is
the
area
we're
looking
at,
which
the
purpose
and
I'll
go
up
to
that.
The
purpose
of
the
lake
commercial
district
was
to
establish
appropriate
locations
within
the
boundary
map
for
late
commercial
activity,
that's
conducive
to
to
the
lake,
and
so
that's
where
the
need
for
storage
is
out
there.
So
that's
the
need
that
the
applicants
are
trying
to
fill.
I
believe.
I
Right,
well,
it's
one
that
it's
one
that
is
it's
applicable
to
come
forward
for
a
rezone
areas
that
are
outside
of
the
boundary
map,
can't
ask
for
the
rezone
at
all,
but
we're
just
saying
because
of
the
proximity
to
the
lake,
that
if
there
wasn't
a
need
for
commercial
development
that
somebody
wanted
to
propose
that
they
could
ask
it.
Within
this
boundary
map.
I
And
on
there
it's
actually
on
both
of
the
zoning
maps.
There's
inconsistencies
so
what
they
showed,
the
the
current
zoning,
which
is
the
r1
so
on
one
map,
they're
showing
the
r1
single
family
as
being
there
and
then
on
the
other
one
they're
showing
the
pud
plan
development.
That's
actually
there
today!
I
A
I
I
A
A
H
Yeah
and
it
may
or,
if
I
may,
I
think,
that's
just
to
reiterate
or
reinforce
what
brandi
was
explaining
there-
that
blue
map
that
she
showed
with
the
boundary
that
was
that
showed
the
eligible
property
that
could
be
zoned
cl
and
in
those
discussions
that
happened
subsequent
to
the
lake
compescu
master
plan
you're
exactly
right.
There
there's
a
lot
of
land
around
the
lake.
H
Obviously
a
lot
of
it
is
residential
and
when
we
created
that
cl
zoning
district
recently
that
discussion,
part
of
that
discussion
was
you
know
the
vision
that
some
of
these
areas
could
be
rezoned
to
cl.
You
would
have
redevelopment
of
currently
zoned
and
developed
property.
Any
one
of
these
residential
lots,
for
example,
could
sell
off
to
a
commercial
developer,
and
then
they
would
use
the
cl
zoning
district
to
exercise
what
we
created
through
that
cl
zoning
opportunity,
and
I
think
that,
of
course,
it's
important.
H
I
don't
know
if
this
map
would
have
looked
differently
in
the
in
the
capacity
master
plan
had
we
had
the
cl
district
finalized
at
the
time
of
this
master
plan,
that's
kind
of
what
I'm
getting
at,
we
maybe
would
have.
The
consultants,
maybe
would
have
recommended
more
of
that
redevelopment
around
this
around
the
lake,
knowing
the
exact
details
of
our
cl
zoning
district
that
we
adopted,
but
that's
a
hypothetical
on
my
part.
True.
D
Know
maybe
this
isn't
particularly
germane
to
the
the
zoning
issue,
but
I
want
to
touch
on
something
that
mr
foley
referred
to
about
54th
street
being
being
a
section
line
and
that
road
going
going
through
up
to
212.
heath,
you're
kind
of
our
traffic
control
person.
Aren't
you
and
or
traffic
flow
person
in
the
community?
Did
you
have
any
comments
about
that
relative
to
this
conversation.
D
H
A
Oh,
I
think
that
is
a
really
important
point.
Glenn
and
I
think
that's
the
strongest
point
that
they
have
going
for
them
is
that
this
is
shown
on
our
major
street
plan
as
a
future
minor
collector
route.
Even
though
it's
a
gravel
road
today,
that's
because
it
isn't
developed
someday,
it
probably
will
be
developed
and
the
gravel
road
gets
paved
as
people
develop.
A
That's
how
it's
been
going
on
in
the
past,
but
it
does
show
on
our
major
street
plan,
which
is
part
of
our
comprehensive
plan
as
a
major
route
is
one
of
the
few
that
goes
to
lake
kempeska
from
212,
and
so
that's.
That
is
a
very
good
point,
but
it's
also,
if
you,
if
you
take
a
tub
and
you
it
doesn't,
have
an
outlet
and
you
fill
it
partially.
A
Where
does
the
extra
water
go?
And
I
know
this
is
not
the
question
for
the
zoning,
but
it's
something
to
consider,
because
the
road
is
probably
the
first
place
where
that
water
will
go.
Is
that
gravel
road
is
probably
the
low
lowest
other
than
this
low
land
and
the
golf
course
itself
the
any
extra
flooding
that
will
be
caused
by
filling
the
available
flood
capacity
flows
onto
the
adjacent
lowest
land,
which
is
the
golf
course
and
the
gravel
road?
So
the
road
could
be
raised
golf
course,
maybe
not
so
much.
A
It's
a
lot
harder
to
keep
it
clean
than
it
is
to
clean
it
up
after
it
gets
dirty
and
the
the
low-lying
areas
around
the
lake
do
serve
a
function,
all
the
dirty
water
flows
into
them
and
soaks
into
the
ground,
water
and
re-feeds
into
the
lake.
That
way,
and
if
this
area
is
totally
filled
to
the
point
where
it's
not
low
anymore,
that
water
flows
dirty
somewhere
else.
It
isn't
soaking
into
the
ground
here,
and
this
is
the
age-old
argument
for
not
filling
wetlands,
because
wetlands
do
clean
the
water
up.
A
A
C
A
B
Thank
you
mayor
before
the
council
is
the
second
reading
of
the
2021
budget
appropriation
ordinance.
I
did
go
over
some
of
the
slight
changes
from
the
budget
hearing
to
the
first
reading.
Nothing
else
has
changed
from
the
first
reading.
This
is
exactly
what
you
saw.
What
this
will
do
after
this
has
passed.
This
will
pretty
much
set
the
2021
budget
and
then
I
will
also
certify
the
property
tax
number
on
to
the
county
auditor.
So
if
there's
any
questions,
I
can
answer
them.
Otherwise,
that's
it.
D
A
comment
we're
looking
at
a
you
know,
sizeable
deficit
that
we're
budging
in
our
general
fund
for
for
2021,
and
I
guess
we're
making
no
bones
about
it-
that
we're
looking
at
cares
act
funding
to
help
shore
up
that
that
shortfall,
something
that
we
can't
rely
upon
on
an
ongoing
basis.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
comment
that
if
these
numbers
continue,
we
got
a
serious
problem
after
next
year.
A
C
B
C
C
C
C
B
D
F
F
A
H
Yes,
absolutely
the
the
zoning
ordinance
definitions
do
explicitly
call
out
what
a
caretaker
is
and
it's
a
either
an
owner
occupy
occupancy
of
that
shop
or
an
employee,
an
active
working
employee
of
the
business
that
owns
that
shop.
That
is
considered
a
caretaker
and
I'm
paraphrasing
off
memory
here,
but
brandi.
If
you
could
chime
in,
if
there's
anything
further
to
that
definition,
that
that's
notable.
I
A
A
O
A
D

A
C
C
B
C
A
O
Thank
you,
mayor
watertown
motor
company
llc
seeks
to
lease
5625
square
feet
of
land
at
the
airport
to
construct
their
75
by
75
foot
private
hangar
at
the
current
rate
of
16
cents
per
square
foot,
which
would
come
out
900
a
year
initially
with
a
2
percent
inflationary
clause,
just
as
a
refresher
of
what
we're
doing
here.
Statute
requires
us
to
when,
when
the
city
leases
land
to
private
parties,
we
have
to
do
this
resolution
of
intent
to
enter
into
a
lease,
and
the
resolution
of
intent
also
sets
the
public
hearing.
O
So
this
is
a
ground
lease
similar
to
many
ground
leases
we've
approved
in
the
last
couple
years.
I
I
shouldn't
say
many,
I
guess
four
or
five,
but
essentially
it's
it's
gonna
be
owned
by
this
llc,
but
it's
scott
driscoll,
I
believe
he's
the
entity
has
purchased
a
plane
and
they're
going
to
be
storing
their
their
private
plane
there.
Okay,
thanks.
A
O
No,
the
least
the
least
does
require
them
to
construct
a
hanger.
I
I
suppose
in
theory
a
hangar
could
could
double
as
a
garage
of
some
sort,
but
but
typically
I
don't
think
that's
been
an
issue,
but
but
typically
I
mean
there
is.
There
is
incidental
storage,
I
suppose
that
occurs
there,
but
they
all
of
them
so
far
have
been
storing
their
private
planes
there.
So.
A
C
C
B
C
C
A
H
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
We
don't
see
very
many
of
these.
We
as
far
as
requests
for
sanitary
sewer
service
connections
outside
the
city
limits
once
in
a
while.
They
come
up
and
wastewater
superintendent
mike
berger
shares
the
costs
and
and
people
kind
of
turn,
the
other
direction,
because
it
becomes
a
little
bit
cost
prohibitive.
For
for
most
folks
and
in
most
situations,
this
one,
however,
the
applicant
or
the
the
county
resident
did
want
to
pursue
approval
from
the
council.
H
H
This
particular
sewer
main
they'd,
be
tying
into,
has
a
frontage
assessment
that
would
be
charged
to
the
property
owner
and
then
another
stipulation
in
our
policy
is
that
an
annual
fee
in
lieu
of
property
taxes
be
assessed
to
those
outside
the
city
limits
theory,
being
that
since
they're
not
annexed
and
we're
not
recouping
any
property
taxes
from
them
that
we
assess
an
annual
fee
that
would
be
approximate
to
the
taxes
we
would
have
otherwise
collected
from
them.
Had
they
been
in
the
city.
H
The
aforementioned
hookup
fee
totals
a
thousand
twenty
nine
dollars.
That
includes
an
eight
hundred
dollar
frontage
assessment
for
the
sewer
main
that
exists
and
a
a
tapping
fee
of
230
dollars.
Roughly
all
that
being
said,
wastewater
staff,
I
believe
mike
and
craig,
are
both
here
tonight.
They
can
speak
to
in
more
detail
to
the
inspection
that
was
made,
but
they
did
make
an
inspection
on
the
property.
H
There
is
concern
over
the
high
ground
water
conditions
at
this
location,
and
you
know
the
potential
to
have
an
ongoing
inflow
from
sump
pump
sources
from
this
property
or
any
of
the
properties
adjacent
to
it.
For
that
matter,
there
there
was
a
a
presence
of
sumps
being
pumped
and
then
in
the
history
of
that
sump
pump
activity
at
this
property.
It
seems
to
be
pretty
pretty
pretty
predominantly
existent
due
to
the
high
ground
water
conditions
at
this
location.
H
H
P
P
So
I
guess,
there's
a
there's
a
some
sort
of
a
groundwater
issue
going
up
there
and
I
guess,
as
heath
mansion,
there
are
a
couple
of
other
residences
directly
to
the
north,
this
this
property
as
well.
So
I
guess
we
do
see
that
over
time,
it's
something
that
has
to
be
monitored
to
ensure
that
it
didn't
affect
our
sanitary
sewer
system.
As
you're
aware,
we
spend
a
significant
amount
of
our
resources
identifying
and
eliminating
clear
water
discharging
to
the
sewer.
So
we
are
concerned
about
the
water
issues
up
here
in
this
area.
A
A
P
P
H
I'm
also
turning
on
the
city
limits
layer,
madam
mayor,
just
for
context
too.
These
yellow
indicates
the
city
limits
that
currently
exist.
So
in
some
of
these
cases
had
they
been
contiguous
to
the
city
limits.
You
know
I
could
see
making
a
recommendation
for
approval
but
requiring
them
to
annex
being
appropriate.
Of
course,
these
residences
are
far
enough
out
that
that
really
isn't
an
option.
In
this
particular
case.
P
A
P
H
And
I
think
councilman
roby,
I
understand
where
your
question
is
coming
from,
you
know,
is
there
any
benefit
to
the
sewer
system
or
to
the
sewer
operations?
You
know
either
from
a
revenue
side,
or
you
know
in
particular
instances
where
you
have
infrastructure
in
place.
That's
maybe
not
fully
utilized
or
things
of
that
nature.
I
would
say
in
this
particular
case
there
aren't
any
concerns
operationally
about
the
way
it's
currently
set
up
and
who
it
currently
feeds.
H
And
again
I
would
reiterate
if
this
were
right
up
immediately
adjacent
to
highway
212.
I
think
we
would
potentially
look
at
it
differently,
at
least
from
a
staffing
recommendation
where
you
could
require
an
annexation
order
to
to
obtain
the
connection
I've
seen
that
exercised
before
as
well
and
works.
Well,
that
way.
A
P
A

G

Only
in
the
last
two
three
years
with
the
high
water
content,
things
like
that
yup
prior
to
me,
I've
been
in
this
house
for
11
years.
I
haven't
had
this
problem
since
two
or
three
years
ago.
So
and
it's
more
or
less
a
thing
where
it's
a
hassle,
you
gotta
pump
it
out
two
three
times
a
day.
You
just
pump
it
on
the
lawn.
I
got
nice
grass,
but
it's
just
not
very
feasible
so
but
yeah
the
water
does
flow
towards
212..

Thank
you.
Thank
you
item
h
is
approval
of
2021
open
enrollment
agreements
for
employees
and
authorization
for
the
human
resources
director
to
sign
all
necessary
documents,
and
I
think
we
can
do
these
all
at
once.
Is
that
correct,
and
we
have
our
human
resource
director
jillaine
pifley
online,
to
talk
about
this
and
julian?
Do
you
want
to
take
it
all?
As
one
motion.
I
A
G
D
I
So,
essentially,
the
projection
came
to
us
from
marsh
mclennan.
They
were
projecting
a
13
increase,
specifically
with
colbit
and
just
kind
of
some
of
the
changes
that
they're
seeing.
However,
they
did
work
with
well
mark
blue
cross
blue
shield
and
it
wasn't
a
guaranteed
13
again
just
a
projection,
but
when
they
visited
with
them,
they
were
able
to
get
it
to
three
percent.
D
A
C
C
C
B
C
A
Right.
Thank
you
item.
I
is
review
of
the
continued
necessity
of
resolution
number
20-15
declaring
an
emergency
concerning
the
pandemic
outbreak
of
the
novel,
coronavirus,
covid19
and
providing
for
responsive
measures
related
to
the
operations
of
the
city
and
the
protection
of
public
health,
and
I
matt
has
talked
about
this
every
time.
A
A
Yes,
sir
sure,
so
if
we
let's
just
take
the
airport,
for
instance,
we
only
have
six
people
that
work
out
there
and
if
one
of
them
were
sick
and
three
more
were
exposed
to
that
person
and
had
all
of
them
quarantined
for
two
weeks,
we'd
be
really
hard-pressed
to
keep
the
airport
open
with
only
a
couple
employees.
So
this
is
the
reason
that
some
places
will
declare
certain
employees
as
essential
or
critical
or
matt.
Tell
me
the
word.
O
O
Yes,
so
the
kind
of
frontier
here
is,
you
know
if
you
declare
folks
essential
what
does
that
mean
for
their
eligibility
for
the
coveted
leave?
That's
that
was
put
together
and
passed
by
congress
in
march
and
from
best
I
can
tell
essentially
what
the
department
of
labor
federal
department
of
labor
has
said
is
that
the
definition
of
emergency
responder
has
been
broadly
interpreted.
To
essentially
mean
all.
O
Excuse
me
all
essential
workers,
and
so
I
think
what
the
city
would
do
if
they
chose,
would
be
to
declare
all
the
city,
employees
or
some
as
emergency
responders
under
the
ffcra,
which
would
no
longer
entitle
our
staff
to
the
benefits
of
that
program.
But
this
the
council
could
entertain
a
kind
of
hybrid
program
that
still
allowed
for
some
leave
and
would
also
take
into
account
that
certain
positions
in
our
city
can
fully
function
remotely,
if
necessary.
O
A
O
Well,
I
I
would
maybe
ask
the
hr
director
flightly
to
chime
in
a
little
bit,
but
I
think
right
now,
as
we've
been
operating,
we've
been
relying
on
the
ffcra
language.
When
somebody
has
close
contact,
we
say:
okay,
well,
you're,
entitled
to
two
weeks
of
additional
leave
according
to
this
accordionist
language.
O
So
if
we
all
of
a
sudden
disqualified
everybody
in
the
city
from
from
qualifying
for
that
leave,
then
we
would,
it
would
kind
of
it
would
throw
our
current
processes
for
a
loop,
and
so
I
would
I
would
caution
that
we
wouldn't
want
to
do
that
until
we
have
it
fully
thought
out
what
the
replacement
policy
for
the
city
of
watertown
is
going
to
be.
If
we
just
did
that
right
now,
we
would
have
to
come
up
with
a
new
plan
on
the
fly
and
I
don't
think
that
would
be
prudent.
I
Yeah,
I
would,
I
would
have
to
agree
mayor.
I
think
that
we
do
qualify
as
essential
workers.
However,
I
would
like
a
more
detailed
policy
in
place
in
order
for
us
to
kind
of
lay
out
what
we're
going
to
do
moving
forward,
because
what
we've
been
doing
is
just
essentially
following
the
doh
recommendations.
D
I
I
brought
up,
I'm
not
suggesting
that
we
try
to
do
it
tonight,
but
I
think
it
is
something
that
we
should
should
keep
in
mind
and
be
ready
to
review
on
next
next
meeting.
We
can
always
decide
at
that
point
if
we
want
to
adopt
it
or
not,
but
I'd
like
to
keep
our
options
open
and
be
ready
for
it.
If
need
be,.
A
G
A
A
Right,
you
mean
about
the
numbers
going
up
and
the
the
reason
I'm
wearing
a
mask
today.
The
the
numbers
of
covid
cases
are
going
up
to
the
point
where
the
medical
facilities
are
scrambling
it.
We
aren't
at
a
point
where
we're
testing
our
hospital
capacity
or
anything
like
that,
but
they
are
very,
very
busy
already
and
it
doesn't
look
like
the
numbers
are
going
to
suddenly
drop
they.
They
seem
to
be
on
a
trend
upward.
We
are
the
hot
spot
actually
in
the
state,
and
our
state
is
a
hot
spot
in
the
nation.
A
So
you
can
figure
that
out
what
that
means
and
nobody's
wearing
a
mask,
and
that's
the
I
don't
want
to
say
nobody,
but
people
aren't
wearing
masks
out
in
public
and
there's
a
discomfort
and
feeling
like
you're,
the
only
one
wearing
a
mask,
so
the
the
unified
commanders
had
decided.
You
know
what
what
should
we
do.
We
talked
about
doing
a
mask
mandate
and
there
wasn't
a
whole
lot
of
interest
in
doing
that.
A
We
want
people
to
wear
masks
because
we
do
believe
that
there
quite
possibly
is
a
benefit
to
wearing
a
mask
and
now
there's
some
question
about.
You
know
aerosols
and
it
floats
all
around
the
room.
If
you
can
contain
it.
If
I'm
covered
positive
right
now,
but
I
don't
know
it,
I
could
be
spreading
it
to
everybody
in
the
room.
That's
why
I'm
wearing
a
mask,
so
I
don't
have
to
call
you
tomorrow
and
say:
hey
I
just
felt
sick.
I
was
with
you
for
three
hours
last
night
you
better
watch
yourself.
A
I
can
at
least
say
I
was
wearing
a
mask.
So
that
is
what
we
can
do.
There's
not
a
lot
we
can
do
wearing
a
mask
is
something
simple
that
we
can
do
it's
not
hard
to
do.
We
don't
have
to
debate
whether
it
works
or
not.
We
can
just
go
well,
it
doesn't
hurt.
So
you
know
why
don't
we
try
it
and
aside
from
that,
a
mask
mandate
is
what
other
communities
have
chosen
and
we
didn't
think
the
outcome
would
be
fantastic
about.
That.
G
Yeah
as
well
as
why
we
were
talking
about
you
know,
attempting
or
having
people
be
essential
workers
and
things
of
that
nature.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they're
they're
realizing.
Why
we're
looking
at
that
possible
step
for
the
next
meeting
going
forward?
You
know
in
case
the
numbers
continue
to
increase
like
they
are.
I
mean
I
know
the
high
school
is
and
middle
school,
I
believe,
has
gone
all
virtual
this
next
week.
G
A
Right
and-
and
I
I
think
this
is
why
so
many
of
the
council
members
have
chosen
to
participate
electronically,
we
can,
and
so
they
are
and
and
that
will
help
spread
the
disease
we
we
do
feel
like
people
are
going
to
get
the
disease,
but
if
everybody
gets
it
at
the
same
time,
then
that
puts
us
in
a
predicament
for
keeping
our
services
going
and
we
want
to
keep
our
doors
open.
We
don't
want
to
have
to
close.
O
A
C
I
C
Q
Yeah,
I
was
just
thinking
about
what
you
were
saying
with
the
numbers
of
the
clinics
and
scrambling
and
things
like
that.
So
as
a
council
as
a
public
as
peop
people
here,
what
can
we
do
to
kind
of
alleviate
that
a
little
bit
is
there
action
that
can
be
taken
as
far
as
testing
supplies?
Should
we
be
asking
for
more
from
our
state
or
whatever?
I
guess
I'm
sitting
here
feeling
like?
Q
Is
there
something
we
can
do
to
be
proactive
as
we
were
talking
about
with
employees,
but
to
be
proactive
in
terms
of
being
able
to
keep
the
rapid
testing
going?
Keep
businesses
open,
prevent
people
from
having
to
quarantine
unnecessarily
for
two
weeks.
I
think
that's.
Some
of
the
problems
that
people
are
working
against
is
that
they
have
no
idea
whether
or
not
they
have
to
be
home
for
two
weeks
or
do
they
have
to
do
an
expensive
sanitization
of
their
work
for
workplace
things
like
that.
A
A
Making
triage,
I
guess,
on
how
to
decide
who
gets
testing
now
like
they
were
doing
at
first,
when
we
only
had
a
handful
of
tests
and
we're
kind
of
back
in
that
same
position
again,
where
the
medical
and
first
responders
can
get
a
test.
But
it's
a
it's
a
harder
thing
for
other
people
to
get
a
test
until
we
have
more
comfortable
levels
of
supply.
A
Q
I
guess
that's.
That
was
the
point
I
was
speaking
to
is
that
without
adequate
supplies,
we're
going
through
some
of
these
unnecessary
processes
of
well
you've
been
exposed.
So
you
need
to
be
home
for
two
weeks
whether
or
not
you're
sick.
You
know,
and-
and
so
I
guess
you
know
getting
more
testing
supplies,
I
don't
care
steal
some
from
florida
or
you
know
I'm
just
kidding,
but
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
feel
that
we're
being
proactive
about
helping
them,
get
that.
A
Right
and
I
appreciate
that,
I'm
sure
that
everyone
on
the
command
team
appreciates
it
too.
It's,
I
think,
they're
they're
doing
what
they
can
and
it
doesn't
hurt
to
request
from
our
lawmakers
that
we
have
more
access
to
better
testing
supplies.
It
wouldn't
hurt
to
ask
so
anyone
else
all
right.
We
will
be
going
to
into
executive
session
tonight
in
order
to
discuss
with
our
legal
counsel
on
contractual
matters
and
personnel
matters,
and,
let's
see
possibly,
we
have.
D
C
C
A
A
A
A
A
motion
by
vilhauer
and
a
second
by
bueller-
and
this
is
a
hard
to
fill
position
and
it's
been
open
for
a
long
time
and
normally
would
not
go
above
step
three.
We
can't
go
above
step,
three
without
counsel
authorization.
So
that's
why
we're
doing
this
and
hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
attract
a
candidate
with
this.
So
anybody
have
any
questions
or
comments.
