The
next
item
is
approval
of
the
agenda,
and
I
would
like
to
move
item
c
to
come
just
before
item
f,
so
that
we're
talking
about
the
same
things
at
the
same
time.
So
with
that
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
agenda
motion
have
a
motion
by
rademski.
Second,
second,
by
hoyer
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
H
D
All
right
we're
on
to
the
regular
agenda
and
item
a
is
approval
of
the
bid
award
for
the
animal
care
building,
bramall
park,
zoo
project
number
2029
to
crest
home
builders
inc
in
the
amount
of
one
million
four
hundred
seven
thousand
eight
hundred.
Seventy
seven
dollars
have
a
motion
by
lollam
second
and
a
second
by
hoyer,
and
I
will
ask
our
park
and
rec
director
terry
kelly
to
tell
us
about
this.
D
A
Thank
you
mayor.
Thank
you,
council
I'll,
lead
into
it
july,
9th
we
open
beds,
and
I
think
we
can
all
take
a
breath
breath
of
fresh
air
that
we've
finally
gotten
to
this
point.
If
we
remember
the
almost
a
year,
this
was
an
item
that
we
were
all
nervous
about
and
we
made
it
happen.
So
we
did
open
bids
on
july
9th
we
did
assign
a
project
manager
within
the
city
which
is
justin
peterson,
our
assistant
city
engineer.
A
I
Thank
you
just
kind
of
we
we
had
three
bidders
and
crest.
One
was
a
little
bit.
The
engineers
estimate
was
right
at
the
1.6
million
dollar
mark
and
the
bid
came
in
really
really
well
and
so
we're
at
one
point
a
little
over
1.4
million
with
the
base
bid
and
four
alternates.
I
The
ultimate
number
one
is
on
the
west
side.
The
the
base
bin
was
a
steel
finish
and
number
one
is
more
of
an
exterior
finish,
so
that.
I
It's
a
little
bit
more
protective
on
that
side
where
there's
gonna
be
traffic.
The
ultimate
number
two
is
the
public
restroom
area,
which
was
kind
of
a
a
good
plus,
and
we
have
a
good
view
on
that.
One
there's
some
alternate
number
three
and
ultimate
number
four.
I
In
the
base
bid,
there
were
areas
that
were
gravel
and
those
two
become
concrete,
paving
those
on
the
west
side
again,
where
there's
gonna
be
quite
a
bit
of
traffic
from
the
staff
they're,
the
so
the
base
bid
there's
1.4
about
1.4
million
dollars.
I
Some
additional
costs
for
the
project
include
architectural
service
from
tsp
totaling
about
almost
86
thousand
dollars,
there's
some
soil
testing
about
five
thousand
dollars
and
then
there's
some
security
and
fencing,
and
I
t
stuff
that
holds
up
to
be
about
91
000
and
all
told
the
total
project
cost
sitting
about
1.59
million
just
under
the
1.7
million
budget.
A
D
Okay,
very
good,
and
I'm
just
going
to
add
in
there.
I
think
the
community
knows
this,
but
we're
able
to
build
the
animal
care
building
because
of
a
very
generous
1
million
dollar
donation
from
an
anonymous
donor
just
for
this
purpose
and
that
money
is
currently
in
the
city
coffers.
So
we
thank
our
donor
for
making
this
possible
for
us.
A
J
A
A
Quiet,
I
will.
I
will
lean
on
the
engineering
staff
for
that
answer
and
and
before
gus
jumps
in
but
councilman
roby
we've
seen
this
with
with
you
know,
a
foundation
field
wrestling
complex
western
distance.
A
They
seem
the
square
footage
prices,
it
seems
high,
but
it
seems
standard
that
those
are
the
price
per
square
foot
where
we
are
paying
for
outdoor
restrooms
even
mckinley
park
restroom.
I
believe
you
know
we
are
right
around
70
000
for
that,
but
that
seems
to
be
the
market
value
and
justin.
You
know
you've
been
a
lot
of
projects
involved
with
restrooms.
Maybe
you
can
add
in.
I
Yeah,
the
the
the
engineers
estimate
was
right
around
70
000,
so
it
was
pretty
close
to
what
we'd
expect.
H
D
Item
b
is
approval
of
the
construction
change
order;
number
two
final,
with
bituminous
paving
for
the
2018
seal
coating
project
number
1815
for
a
decrease
of
8781.70
motion
motion
by
holleen
and
a
second
by
redempsky,
and
I
will
ask
the
public
works
director,
heath
von
nai,
to
tell
us
about
this.
One.
L
L
Some
some
work
that
we
had
required
them
to
do
on
doing
a
re-application
of
the
chip
seal
on
a
certain
number
of
blocks
in
the
downtown
area,
a
good
majority
of
that
chip
seal
did
perform
well
and
then,
however,
during
the
end
of
their
application
of
that,
rework
as
some
adverse
weather
had
hit
hit
the
project
and
and
also
caused
some
issues
that
they
again
had
to
work
through
and
address.
So
that's,
what's
caused
the
time
delay
on
getting
this
project
closed
out.
L
I
can
say
that
bituminous
paving
was
has
been
very
amicable
to
work
with
and
correcting
what
they
can
on
the
project.
They
did
clean
the
storm
sewer
systems
in
relation
to
that
storm
event.
That
happened.
Some
of
the
oil
had
washed
down
the
storm
sewer
system
and
needed
to
be
mitigated
and
cleaned
up
they've.
They
made
one
attempt
at
that.
We,
through
our
internal
resources,
inspected
that
actually
televised
the
inside
of
that
storm
sewer
system
with
the
wastewater
divisions,
equipment
and
had
to
have
make
a
second
pass
at
that
work,
and
so
they
did.
L
They
brought
in
third-party
resources
to
factor
out
with
a
high-pressure
jetting
system
as
much
of
that
material
as
they
could
so
the
storm
sewer
system
we
felt
got
cleaned
up
and
is
back
into
orderly
condition
so
that
that
component
was
taken
care
of
the
chip
sealed
performance
itself.
We
feel
is
fine.
The
street
superintendent
rob
bainen
myself,
the
assistant
city
engineers.
Two
of
them
now
have
all
looked
at
this
and
part
of
this
with
bituminous
paving,
and
we
feel
that
it's
performing
as
well
as
it
should
for
for
this
application.
L
We
did
talk
heavily
and
extensively
with
bituminous
paving
about
that
issue,
and
we
actually
had
their
crews
and
our
internal
street
crews
try
to
mitigate
that
as
well
to
no
avail.
We
tried
some
acid-base
citric
based
acid
type
of
remover.
That's
usually
works
well
in
in
scrubbing
off
a
material
like
this.
We
use
the
the
steel
brushes
on
the
street
sweeper
to
try
to
physically
brush
it
off.
L
The
contractor
had
some
other
attempts
at
trying
to
get
it
off.
What
it
boiled
down
to
was
is
that
we
feel
over
time
when
something
like
this
does
happen
over
time
times.
The
best
remedy
for
a
situation
like
this
to
allow
that
to
wear
off
and
we
weren't
finding
it
means
it
was
working
effectively
to
get
the
contractor
to
remove
that.
So
what
the
change
order
before
the
council
tonight
is
an
actual
decrease
of
8781.70,
and
that
was
just
one.
L
One
final
bow
out
from
the
contractor
to
offer
that
funds
back
to
us
just
for
the
trouble
and
the
the
work
we've
had
to
go
through
to
mitigate
the
items
that
they
have
throughout
the
project.
So
that's
why
it's
a
net
decrease
in
the
change
order
and
justin's
online,
and
here
I
can
help
answer
any
questions.
L
That
is
the
amount
of
retainage
left
that
would
otherwise
be
paid
out
to
the
contractor.
H
Okay
and
then,
with
that
being
the
case,
the
ones
that
did
fail
are
we
just?
Did
they
reach
a
certain
point
where
we're
just
like
this
is
going
to
be
the
best
it's
going
to.
A
L
H
K
Heath,
how
did
they
go
about?
How
much
residue
was
in
the
storm
sewers
and
how
did
they
go
about
remedying
that.
L
Yeah
in
the
storm
sewer,
there
was
quite
a
bit
of
of
tar
material
in
there
and
they
had
a
vactor
truck
out
there
and
those
vacker
trucks
they're.
Those
really
noisy
trucks
that
have
you
know
this.
L
What
they
are
is
like
a
big
vacuum
and
they
had
that
down
in
the
catch
basins
to
suck
all
the
tar
and
muck
up
out
of
the
catch
basin
itself,
but
then
they
also
run
a
jetter
hose
down
the
storm
sewer
pipe,
and
so
when
that
hose
is
down
there,
it
sends
high
pressure
water
out
through
that
hose
and
then
extracts
the
material
as
as
it
comes
off
the
walls
of
the
pipe
and
that
vacuum
part
of
the
truck
is,
is
sucking
all
that
material
up
as
well,
so
high
pressure,
water
and
and
factoring
the
system
is
essentially
what
they
had
to
do.
K
Okay,
was
that
material
solid
surface
at
that
point,
or
was
it
still
semi-liquid.
L
L
You
know
not
not
that
we
traced
and
found
as
far
as
the
outflow
of
the
storm
sewer
system,
we
didn't
have
any
reports
of
that
or
any
indications
that
it
went
that
far
through
the
system.
Okay,.
H
D
All
right,
anyone
oppose
signify
or
say
name
motion,
carries
we're
going
to
skip
to
item
d
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
the
joint
powers
agreement
with
watertown
municipal
utilities
and
the
south
dakota
department
of
transportation
sddot
for
work
associated
with
the
highway
212
phase,
2
construction
reconstruction
project
and
all
applicable
documents
associated
with
the
highway
212
phase.
2
reconstruction
project.
D
L
Yes,
thank
you.
Mayor
says
the
council
may
recall
we
entered
into
a
similar
agreement
back
with
phase
1
of
the
highway
212
reconstruction
project.
This
this
agreement
before
the
council
tonight
is
essentially
the
has
the
same
effect
for
the
upcoming
excuse
me
for
the
upcoming
phase.
2
reconstruction
of
highway
212..
L
They
do
the
d.o.t
is
anticipating
bidding
out
and
constructing
some
storm
sewer
improvements
in
2021,
but
the
brunt
of
the
improvements
with
this
agreement
are
related
to
the
full
212
reconstruction.
That's
going
to
begin
in
2022
construction
season,
so
some
of
the
main
highlights
on
here
is
that
the
city
is
responsible
for
any
storm
sewer
upgrades
on
our
system.
Excuse
me.
L
In
relation
to
tying
into
the
improvements
that
they'll
be
making
with
their
system
on
the
storm
sewer,
the
other
component
here
that
that
this
agreement
is
related
to
is
the
realignment
of
the
14th
street,
the
north
leg
of
the
14th
street
intersection.
L
As
you
recall,
that's
where
we
will
be
relocating
the
d.o.t
will
be
relocating
the
13th
street
traffic
signal
to
14th
and
with
that
traffic
signal.
Relocation
they're
also
performing
a
realignment
of
the
north
leg
of
that
intersection.
So
it
lines
up
more
evenly
with
the
south
leg
that
leads
down
to
the
high
v
access.
L
That's
that's
another
large
part
of
this
agreement
and
then
we're
doing
a
little
bit
of
horse
trading
here
where
we're
going
to
provide
manhole
covers
for
the
sanitary
sewer
manholes
at
no
cost
to
the
dot,
while
the
d.o.t
will
be
installing
fencing
at
the
roby
creek
outfall
at
no
cost
to
the
city
that'll
be
similar.
Decorative
fencing
is
what
we
used
along
phase
one
of
the
project,
I
believe,
there's
an
outfall
or
detention
area
near
taco
john's.
L
If
you
drive
by
that
area,
you'll
see
some
black
a
little
more
decorative
fencing
that
went
in
there,
and
so
this
this
fencing
will
be
south
of
11th
street
and
out
in
front
of
the
montgomery's
furniture
area.
There's
a
large
run
of
chain
like
fence.
That's
there
now
today
and
they'll
be
upgrading
that,
with
this
project,
the
the
agreement
also
notes
the
intent
of
the
dot
installing
cul-de-sacs
at
fifth
avenue
and
sixth
avenue,
eliminating
those
two
streets
connection
with
highway
212.
L
L
D
L
I
Yeah
these
these
numbers
are
based
on
estimates.
I
I'm
not
certain
if
they
they'd
change
after
the
bid,
but
the
the
comparison
was
done,
based
on
estimates
and
decided.
J
L
L
We
would
not
have
had
these
budget
numbers
when
we
put
together
the
recent
2021
budget,
but,
yes,
you
can
bet,
they
will
be-
and
I
believe
kristin's
online
here
with
us
tonight
too,
but
these
that's
something
I'll
be
getting
with
her
on
and
making
sure
we
can
account
for
accordingly.
J
And
another
question
is,
I
know:
we've
talked
about
17th
street
and
19th
street
intersections
as
well.
I
think
that
was
still
kind
of
up
in
the
air,
as
I
recall
from
our
last
conversation
on
that
there's
no
reference
to
either
one
of
those
intersections
in
this
agreement
is
that
I
mean
by
design
or
intentional,
or
is
there
something
more
coming
yet
or
where
are
we
at
with
that?.
L
As
far
as
17th
goes,
the
dot
is
not
anticipating
any
any
modifications
to
that.
Okay,
that
part
of
the
highway
212
route
and
then
the
same
as
19th
street
they're,
anticipating
just
building
that
back
as
it
as
it
is.
If
you
recall
here
about
a
month
ago,
we
we
spoke
to
you
about
potentially
repaving
19th
street
with
their
project
in
conjunction
with
their
project.
They've
since
replied
to
us
initially
thought
that'd
be
good
idea.
L
They
could
work
that
in,
but
now
after
looking
at
their
scheduling
for
phase
two,
they
think
it's
going
to
be
a
little
too
tight
to
incorporate
any
paving
of
19th
with
their
work.
So
what
will
happen?
There
is
once
they
complete
the
storm
sewer
improvements
under
19th
street
next
year,
they'll
patch,
that
back
in
with
asphalt
meeting
our
patching
specifications
that
we'd
like
to
see
for
urban
streets.
J
Okay
and
then
just
a
comment,
I
know
it's
a
d.o.t
project
but-
and
I
raised
this
point
once
before
over
the
weekend-
somebody
asked
me
well
that
project's
going
forward
next
year
right,
I
said
no,
it's
been
delayed
to
2022.
That
word
is
not
getting
out
there
adequately,
so,
whatever
we
could
do
as
a
city
to
help
promote
to
help
get
that
word
out,
because
there's
still
a
lot
of
people
think
it's
going
to
happen
next
year.
L
Yeah
and
you're
right,
they
will
see
some
activity
and
that
activity
will
primarily
be
on
the
easterly
end
and
the
westerly
end
of
the
project
for
the
storm
sewer
improvements
that
they're
going
to
install
and
yeah.
If
the
public
doesn't
have
that
notice,
they're,
probably
going
to
wonder
when
the
rest
of
the
works
going
to
happen
when
they
see
that
bit
going
on.
So
we
can
do
what
we
can
on
our
end
councilman
bill
howard
to
help
with
that.
K
Heath
to
that
point,
maybe
we
can
put
out
what
they
are
actually
going
to
be
doing
next
year.
You
know,
I
think,
to
glenn's
point:
I've
had
people
ask
us
they're,
I
think
they're
envisioning,
the
entire
roadway
being
tore
up,
and
that's
not
what's
going
to
happen.
So,
if
they're
doing
storm
sewer
improvements
or
something
along
those
lines,
we
just
put
that
out
there.
This
is
going
to
be
down
in
2021
and
the
big
process
will
go
in
2022,
but
we
are
at
the
mercy
of
the
d.o.t
as
well
on
that.
L
I
anticipate
that
that
will
go
back
pretty
much
how
it
is
today.
Aside
from
you
know,
the
widening
effect
that
you'll
see
on
212,
but
the
same
stop
controlled
situation
that
exists
there
now
today
I'll
defer
to
justin
justin.
If
you
have
any
more
detail
on
that
one
to
chime
in
on
17th,
do
you
know
of
anything
different
that
they
propose
now
to
date.
L
B
Just
an
additional
comment:
you
know
we
do
have
an
issue
there
with
the
turn
lane
and
the
the
entrance
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
Being
so
close,
they're
offset
some
and
what
you
get
is
those
head-to-head
potentials
and
I've
seen
them.
I've
been
in
them
where
neither
party
can
turn
so
that
issue
won't
go
away.
D
They
they
might
be
altering
driveway
locations.
Have
we
seen
plans
because
it's
a
driveway
on
the
north
side?
It's
a
road
on
the
south
side,
right
yeah,
so
there's
a
possibility,
if
that
they're
aware
of
that,
and
they
have
the
authority
to
regulate
where
those
driveways
come
out.
So
they
might
realign
that
a
little
bit.
Would
you.
B
Add
would
you
ask
that
question
because
that
shift,
I
think,
would
help
a
lot.
What
you
get
is
all
that
athletic
traffic
coming
out
of
there
and
the
one
across
the
street
and
slight
to
the
east
is
the
the
runnings
entrance
and
those
are
the
ones
that
that,
if
they
did
move
that,
that
might
go
a
long
way
to
help
that.
L
D
K
K
You
know-
and
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
try
to
turn
to
the
east
out
of
that
parking
lot
as
well.
So
you
know
that
I
think
it's
a
bottleneck
that
happens
there
between
two
businesses
that
are
going
different
directions.
D
I
C
D
Okay,
all
right
item
e
is
approval
of
a
professional
services
agreement
for
on-call
engineering
services,
with
infrastructure
design
group
inc
in
the
amount
of
up
to
fifty
thousand
dollars
to
be
performed
on
a
task
order
basis
throughout
the
2020
fiscal
year
and
authorizing
the
mayor
to
sign
all
applicable
documents
have
a
motion
by
lollum
in
a
second
by
bill,
hauer
and
heath.
Will
you
explain
this?
Please.
L
Yes,
mayor,
thank
you
again.
If
the
council
recalls
last
year,
we
actually
entered
into
a
similar
agreement
with
infrastructure
design
group,
a
local
consulting
firm
here
in
watertown,
where
we
wanted
to
have
a
professional
services
contract
with
them
on
a
task
order
basis
for
engineering
services.
We're
at
that
point
needing
that
again.
This
year
we've
had
a
lot
of
staff
turnover
in
engineering
office
recently,
and
we
currently
have
two
vacant
engineering
technician
positions,
one
of
those
positions
are
is
filled
and
the
new
employee
will
be
starting
in
the
middle
of
august.
L
The
second
one
is
being
advertised
as
we
speak
to
get
that
filled
in
the
meantime,
we
do
have
a
need
for
some
surveying
and
work
of
that
nature.
That
idg
is
able
to
provide
us,
and
so
that's
what
this
agreement
in
part
is
for
to
help
with
some
immediate
needs,
and
then
any
upcoming
needs
here
throughout
the
rest
of
the
year
for
engineering
services
or
surveying.
K
L
K
L
I
I
was
looking
that
up.
I
think
it
was
right
around
15,
20
000,
I
think
about
15
000
last
year.
L
H
D
H
L
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
this.
I
will
first
point
out
the
fact
that
it
is
a
quote
for
the
council's
information.
The
south
dakota
bid
laws
were
recently
amended
here
this
year
and
went
into
effect
on
july.
First,
the
ability
for
municipalities
to
quote
up
to
a
larger
amount
of
work
up
to
one
hundred
thousand
dollars,
or
just
under
that
at
ninety
nine
thousand
nine.
Ninety
nine.
L
So
we
proceeded
with
this
project,
knowing
where
our
estimate
was
on
putting
out
requests
for
quotes
from
contractors
and
the
assistant
city
engineer,
worked
and
and
disseminated
this
information
to
a
good
handful
of
contractors.
We
did,
however,
only
receive
one
quote
back,
but
it
was
a
good
one
in
comparison
with
the
engineer's
estimate.
That
quote
was
received
by
deutsche
excavating
llc
and
in
the
amount
of
just
shy
of
75
000.
L
The
engineer's
estimate
was
about
100,
000
and
so
staff
is
making
recommendation
for
approval
of
this,
and
this
work
relates
to
the
the
self-named
cherry
creek
drainage
issues.
That's
not
technically
called
cherry
creek,
but
that's
what
we've
been
calling
it,
because
it's
related
to
drainage
issues
that
are
coming
off
of
cherry
drive
in
that
neighborhood
of
town,
and
so
this
eastwood's
drainage
improvements
project
will
be
re-grading.
L
That
area
where
it
immediately
discharges
off
cherry
drive
and
flows
to
the
west,
and
then
a
little
bit
of
regrading
will
occur
down
around
the
bend
where
it
curves
to
the
south
and
then
flows
south
from
there
in
the
city's
drainage
property.
L
I
would
want
to
point
out
that
you
know
this.
This
grating
project
is
anticipated
to
help
with
the
conveyance
of
water
through
there.
What
exists
there
today
is
been
some
excavated.
A
length
of
it
has
been
excavated,
where
I
think
it
was
attempted
to
provide
some
positive
drainage
through
that
area,
but
the
excavation
ceased
more
or
less
and
kind
of
created
a
trough
effect
where
there's
standing
water
for
a
certain
depth
for
a
certain
length
in
this
drainage
area.
L
I'd
also
remind
the
council
that
we
are
working
in
a
jurisdictional
wetland
that
we've
already
received
permits
from
the
corps
of
engineers
to
proceed
with
this
work
and
the
finished
product.
We
hope
helps
accomplish
some
more
positive
grading
and
drainage
through
this
area.
But
I
will
advise
too
that
it
is
a
drainage
area
and
it's
very
likely
that,
especially
in
wet
years,
we
could
still
see
some
reed
growth
and
cattail
growth,
depending
on
the
availability
and
access
to
the
area
due
to
moisture
constraints
with
the
mowing
equipment
and
things
of
that
nature.
L
So
we
do
think
it's
a
step
in
the
right
direction
to
help
remedy.
What's
there
now
and
are
looking
forward
to
moving
forward
with
the
project
at
the
contractors
availability
which,
to
my
understanding,
is,
after
september,
1st,
with
a
completion
date
of
october
2nd,
I
believe
it
was
so
we
should
have
it
all
wrapped
up
here.
Yet
this
fall.
K
L
Yeah
that's
correct.
It's
likely.
Most
of
that
would
take
come
next
spring
and
through
next
summer.
We
actually
thank
you
for
mentioning
that
councilman.
We
actually
have
a
pretty
well
designed
and
laid
out
seating
plan,
vegetative
plan
to
put
back
in
this
area
that
one
of
our
consultants
from
quite
some
time
ago,
actually
put
together
for
us.
K
L
J
L
D
D
A
Wanted
to
add
that
we
must
have
this
remote
meeting
thing
down,
pat,
because
as
fast
as
I
write
down
a
question
somebody
there
asks
it
so
we're
doing
really
well
on
that
very
good.
D
All
right
item
f
is
approval
of
a
professional
services
agreement
for
services
associated
with
the
2020
eastwood
strainway
project
number
1523,
with
austin
engineering
inc
in
the
amount
of
two
thousand
four
hundred.
Ninety
five
dollars
authorizing
the
mayor
to
sign
all
applicable
documents
don.
Would
you
like
to
make
a
motion.
B
So
so
moved
I.
L
Thanks
mayor,
so
this
is
obviously
in
connection
with
the
the
previous
action
item.
This
relates
to
the
engineering
services
that
we
are
wanting
to
procure
from
austin
engineering.
Austin
helped
us
out.
They
were.
They
were
great
in
partnering
with
us.
They
were
representing
the
landowner
to
the
north,
the
developer,
to
the
north
at
the
time,
and
that
worked
through
some
design
iterations
with
us
and
how
that
would
tie
into
the
property
to
the
north.
L
We
then
subsequently
worked
with
them
on
our
submittals
to
the
corps
of
engineers
and
the
documents
that
austin
produced
were
what
is
what
was
provided
to
the
corps
of
engineers
for
our
permitting.
L
So
this
this
agreement
helps
wrap
up
some
of
the
payment
due
from
those
design
services,
but
then
goes
further
into
the
construction
phase
where
they
will
assist
with
our
staking
of
the
project.
They'll
provide
the
the
digital
files
to
the
the
contractor,
providing
the
grading
and
also
produce
some
record
drawings
for
the
city
when
the
work
is
completed
and
do
a
final
survey
or
the
work.
All
for
what
I
thought
was
a
very
reasonable
amount,
and
is
why
it's
before
the
council,
with
staff
recommendation
to
approve.
A
D
All
those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
g
is
approval
of
a
professional
services
agreement
for
services
associated
with
the
watertown
downtown,
plaza
project
project
number
2030
with
confluence
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred.
Seventy
three
thousand
eight
hundred
dollars
authorizing
the
mayor
to
sign
all
applicable
documents,
a
motion
by
hoyer.
J
D
L
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
I
will
share
my
screen
here.
L
And
in
the
council
packet
there
is
a
diagram
that
is
part
of
the
proposal
from
confluence,
so
this
project
relates
to
the
the
downtown
park
or
what
might
otherwise
become
known
as
foundation
park,
or
something
yet
to
be
named
formally
as
councils
full
well
aware,
we've
received
donated
monies
from
the
watertown
community
foundation
to
help
fund
this
project.
L
The
watertown
development
company
has
been
working
with
confluence
on
a
conceptual
basis
to
provide
a
concept
of
what
this
downtown
park
might
look
like,
and
now
we're
to
the
point
where
the
watertown
development
company
is
more
or
less
wanting
to
pass
the
project
off
to
city
engineering
staff
and
to
work
with
the
design
consultant
to
wrap
up
the
design
phase
of
this
project,
and
that's
what
this
contract
before
the
council
tonight
entails
are
the
contractual
services
for
the
design
of
the
downtown
park.
This
contract
is
with
confluence.
L
They
do
have
a
team
that
they
work
with
and
we'll
be
working
with
throughout
the
the
design
of
this
project,
but
our
contract
will
be
solely
with
confluence
and
we've
reviewed
the
numbers
and
everything
appears
to
be
in
line-
and
I
know
john
jacobson
from
confluence
is
actually
online
with
us
here
this
evening
and
I'll.
Let
you
speak
to
the
contract.
If
you'd
like
to
john.
G
Thank
you,
heath
and
thank
you,
council
for
giving
us
a
few
minutes
here
tonight
to
talk
about
this
project.
G
I
guess
the
you
know:
we've
had
a
few
preliminary
meetings
with
city
staff
and
a
few
council
representatives,
and
the
one
thing
that
I
want
to
state
about
this
proposed
agreement
is
that
the
conceptual
plan
that
he
showed
you
is
just
that
it
needs
to
be
vetted
in
more
detail
based
on,
wants
and
needs
from
the
city
and
stakeholder
groups.
So,
depending
upon
certain
decisions
that
are
made
and
those
types
of
things,
I
foresee
the
the
overall
design
of
the
of
the
plaza
park
space
changing
over
time
to
become
more
personalized
than
accommodating.
G
G
That
includes
infrastructure
design
group,
which
would
be
the
civil
engineer
and
do
all
the
surveying
work,
mettler,
sick
miller
engineering,
who
would
be
the
electrical
engineering
company,
a
firm
out
of
missouri
called
hydro
dramatics,
which
will
help
us
with
the
water
feature,
design
and
then
rise.
Structural
associates
will
help
us
with
structural
engineering,
oriented
task
items
like
the
proposed
stage
and
pavilion
structure
and
then,
lastly,
co-op
architecture
who
will
be
assisting
us
with
the
stage
and
shelter
structure
as
well.
G
So
that's
where
this
agreement
ends
and
then
the
potential
future
costs
as
far
as
coordinating
if
the
city
decides
to
accept
bids
and
selects
a
contractor,
any
construction
administration
costs
will
have
to
be
discussed
at
that
time
and
it's
something.
Typically,
we
like
to
reserve
for
the
future
just
depending
upon
how
much
of
the
ca
the
city,
engineering
staff
feels
that
it
would
like
to
do
and
what
other
sort
of
responsibilities
that
we're
going
to
have.
So
we
feel
good
about
this
proposal
and
we
look
forward
to
progressing
on
this
project.
J
Just
what
I
clarify
john
or
heath,
I
think
you
said
it
plainly,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
it's
understood.
The
engineering
firms
that
you
referenced
in
the
design
phase
here
those
fees
are
included
as
part
of
the
of
the
fee
that
we
are
acting
on
tonight.
Correct.
F
Thank
you
mayor.
This
isn't
really
a
question,
but
a
comment
would
that
be
appropriate
at
this
time.
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
the
work
that
they've
done
for
the
downtown
plaza
project.
As
most
everyone
up
here
knows,
I've
not
been
a
proponent
of
it.
My
opposition
to
it
has
softened
over
time
in
part
due
to
the
very
good
work
done
like
in
this
presentation
and
and
the
mayor
public
works
director
everyone.
I
want
to
applaud
you
for
that.
F
D
All
right,
thank
you.
I
think
it
warrants
being
said
that
we
have.
The
council
has
approved
the
urban
renewal
plan
and
the
urban
renewal
assessment
and
the
money
that's
collected
from
the
assessment
every
year
will
go
completely
toward
this
park
project
and
if
we
don't
start
construction
by
the
end
of
2021,
we
have
to
give
the
money
back
for
the
assessment.
D
A
D
L
Thank
you
mayor.
Yes,
I
asked
that
this
beyond
for
old
business
and
discussion,
I
wanted
to
circle
back
with
the
council
and
provide
a
little
bit
of
an
update
on
public
open
house.
It
was
held
last
tuesday
evening
in
relation
to
this
project.
This
is
the
10th
avenue
reconstruct
that's
being
proposed
for
next
year.
We're
currently
in
the
design
phase
of
this
project
had
a
roughly
50
percent
design
being
complete,
and
we
had
a
good
open
house,
a
good
representation
of
the
the
homeowners
and
landowners
adjacent
to
this
route.
L
This
project
extends
from
4th
street
northwest
easterly
all
the
way
over
to
highway
81..
So
it's
roughly
about
3
200
feet
about
9
blocks
of
reconstruction,
that's
being
proposed
and
we
were
able
to
share
some
of
the
preliminary
design
plans
with
the
homeowners.
At
this
meeting
we
had
last
week,
there
were
a
few
questions.
I
was
going
to
circle
back
with
the
council
on
that
I
had
some
follow-up
information
to
provide.
One
of
those
questions
was
the
sidewalk
assessment
process
and
what
the
homeowners
would
be
responsible
to
replace.
L
One
of
the
specific
questions
was
related
to.
If
a
homeowner
has
a
small
area
of
sidewalk,
that's
non-conforming
or
not
in
good
condition,
if
they
would
just
be
assessed
the
charges
for
those
that
portion
of
their
sidewalk,
I've
confirmed
in
discussions
with
the
mayor
and
some
of
the
practices
that
we've
done
in
the
past.
That,
yes,
in
fact,
that's
exactly
how
we
would
anticipate
proceeding
in
those
situations
and
only
assessing
the
homeowner
for
the
slab
or
the
two
slabs
of
sidewalk
that
are
causing
a
trip,
hazard
or
non-conformities
with
the
ada
requirements.
L
So
that
point
I
wanted
to
clarify
tonight
to
the
council.
The
other
point
I
misspoke
on
based
on
some
some
research
that
we
have
done
in
the
engineering
office
regarding
the
irrigation
and
whether
that
would
be
covered
under
the
city's
portion
of
the
project
or
whether
that
would
be
the
homeowner's
responsibility.
At
the
meeting.
I
stated
that
it
would
likely
be
the
homeowner's
responsibility
to
pay
for
any
irrigation
repairs,
but
and
for
doing
further
research
again
with
the
mayor
outside
of
the
meeting
and
looking
back
on
other
projects.
L
L
Aside
from
those
two
notes,
I
wanted
to
mention
that
we
are
having
upcoming
one-on-one
meetings
with
the
property
owners,
starting,
I
believe,
as
soon
as
this
thursday
is
what
we're
trying
to
get
scheduled
and
we're
we're
staff,
and
our
consultant
are
anticipating
scheduling
a
full
day
for
three
consecutive
weeks,
one
day
this
week,
another
day
next
week
and
then
a
third
day
the
third
week,
and
we
hope
to
have
time
to
sit
down
and
visit
with
each
and
every
homeowner
talk
in
detail
about,
what's
being
impacted
on
their
property,
specifically
we're
hoping
to
have
the
sidewalk
inspections
done
by
those
meetings.
F
Thank
you
mayor
and
thank
you
heath
for
mentioning
that
parking
issue.
I've,
like
everyone
else
up
here.
I've
heard
from
quite
a
few
homeowners
going
to
be
impacted
by
that.
I
can
see
the
need
for
revamping
that
thoroughfare,
because
the
numbers
that
you
have
provided
for
us
show
that
it
is
one
of
the
busiest
in
all
of
watertown
and
because
it
is
one
of
the
busiest.
I
question
why
we
would
even
have
parking
on
that
thoroughfare.
F
I
can
see
the
need
for
the
turning
lane
and
for
the
better
road,
but
to
have
parking
at
on
top
of
that
seems
like
I.
I
would
not
want
kids
coming
out
of
the
car
on
that
road
going
to
highland
park
or
something
like
that,
and
it
would
also
perhaps
alleviate
some
of
the
homeowners
concerns
about
taking
maybe
a
little
bit
less
of
their
land.
So
I
would
encourage
you
to
at
least
consider
that
alteration.
D
L
Yes,
absolutely
so
to
both
those
points,
we
do
have
66
feet
of
right-of-way
that
exists
out
there
today
and
from
the
start,
we've
we've
instructed
our
consultant
to
do
what
they
can
to
design
these
improvements
completely
within
the
existing
right-of-way
to
avoid
having
to
procure
any
land
from
anybody,
and
so
the
design
is
put
together
today
does
just
that
it
has
everything
included
with
this
new
street
with
all
falling
within
the
current
right-of-way.
So
that's
a
good
thing
that
we're
minimizing
the
impact
on
the
property
owners
that
way
the
street
section
for
a
collector.
L
That's
what
10th
avenue
is
classified,
as
is
a
collector
route.
There's
there's
three
classifications,
an
arterial,
a
collector
and
a
local
generally
speaking
that
they
do
dive
down
into
further
classifications
from
there.
But,
generally
speaking,
there's
those
three
10th
avenue
is
we
found
to
be
the
sixth
highest
traveled
roadway
in
our
community
on
a
vehicle
per
day,
traffic
volume
basis?
L
And
if
you
think
in
comparison
of
what
else
might
be
out
there,
you
have
19th
street
east.
You
have
14th
avenue
north
there's
portions
of
first
avenue
north
and
willow,
creek,
drive
portions
of
20th
avenue
south
along
the
bypass
route
between
highway,
20
and
81,
and
then
portions
of
4th
avenue
southwest
that
rate
higher
than
10th.
L
But
then
10th
falls
sixth
in
line
with
traffic
volumes,
and
so,
when
you
have
a
collector
with
traffic
volumes,
just
shy
of
5000
vehicles
per
day
that
falls
into
a
certain
design
category
in
our
engineering
design,
standards
that
requires
a
minimum
of
41
feet
street
width.
L
So
we've
worked
through
those
through
that
information
and
and
through
those
iterations
of
how
wide
to
make
this
we've
landed
on
a
45-foot
street
with
for
a
couple
different
reasons:
one
because
it
accommodates
a
parking
lane
on
the
south
two
through
lanes
and
a
center
turn
lane
and
at
that
45
foot.
Street
width
accommodates
that
rather
nicely,
and
that
is
also
makes
it
a
congruent
street
width
from
what
exists
west
of
the
hospital
all
the
way
through
east
then
to
highway
81..
L
So
if,
if
the
parking
is
not
a
desired
feature
from
the
residents,
that
is
definitely
something
that
you
know
we
can
have.
As
a
negotiating
talking
point
on
whether
that's
needed
or
not,
we
as
staff
thought
that
it
there
were
several
homeowners
on
the
south
side
who
have
very
limited
driveway.
Space
might
very
well
like
to
see
parking
come
back
for
not
only
their
own
private
use,
but
also
for
when
guests
come
and
go
to
their
residence
and
actually
the
green
book.
L
This
is
it's
known
as
the
green
book,
the
generic
term
of
it
it's
a
geometric
design
of
highways
and
streets
put
out
by
ashtoe
the
american
association
of
state,
highway
transportation
officials
and
in
here
this
also
is
what
steers
these
regulations
on,
how
roads
are
designed
and
it
does
seem
a
little
counter-intuitive,
but
they
also
do
recommend
on-street
parking
when
you
have
a
collector
going
through
a
residential
district
and
that
actually
I'll
be
honest,
caught
me
a
little
bit
off
guard
when
I
read
that
in
that
manual,
because
it
does
seem
counterintuitive,
but
when
you
think
about
it
from
the
way
they
pers
the
perspective,
they
relate
it
in
this
manual
is
that
when
you
have
a
collector
route
going
through
a
residential
area,
it's
important
that
you
still
account
for
the
uses
that
this
collector
is
going
through.
L
Those
uses
being
residential
you're,
going
to
have
guests
and
family
members
and
visitors
coming
and
going
at
these
residents
and
having
that
on
street
parking,
helps
accommodate
the
use
in
that
zoning
district,
such
as
single-family
residential
in
this
case.
So
that
doesn't
mean
that
it's
a
hard
fast
requirement.
It
is
a
recommendation,
and-
and
that's
where
I
think
some
of
these
one-on-one
meetings
with
the
landowners
will
help
us
discern
who
really
wants
that
on-street
parking
brought
back,
who
really
doesn't
and
what
and
how
we
could
accommodate
those
those
desires.
H
H
Of
course
we
got
our
designation
as
a
tree
city,
usa
in
2019,
for
our
management
of
our
forestry,
but
I
would
just
hope
that
in
those
one-on-one
conversations
we
talk
about
what
the
options
are
going
to
be
for
those
folks
to
restore
that
tree
cover
in
whatever
way
we
can,
whether
that
be
us
planting
something
a
little
more
mature
if
that's
possible,
or
just
where
we're
going
to
be
with
it.
It's
always
hard
when
we're
going
through
these
old
neighborhoods
and
taking
out
some
of
those
older,
larger
growth.
K
L
Yeah,
we
could
absolutely
look
at
the
adjustment
of
that
alignment,
that
roadway
alignment
and
how
that
would
how
that
would
fit
into
that
right
away
section.
The
best.
K
Because
I
know
there's
people
up
there
and
I've
had
a
few
of
them
that
reached
out
to
me
with
that.
Being
my
ward,
you
know
as
far
as
trying
to
keep
some
of
those
trees.
I
know
you
did
touch
on
that
at
that
community
meeting,
that
about
half
of
those
roughly
are
ash
trees
and
are
going
to,
unfortunately
have
to
go
either
way
you
know,
but
if
it's
not
a
requirement
or
not
a
request,
that's
made
that
we
have
parking
on
that.
K
If
there's
a
way
that
we
could,
you
know
attempt
to
save
as
many
of
those
trees
as
possible
to
keep
the
acidic
aesthetically
pleasing.
You
know
that
road
actually
looks
pretty
good
for
being
a
very
busy
road
yeah
I
mean
the
trees
that
are.
There
have
been
there
a
long
time
and
they're
they're
hard
to
go
through
that.
You
know,
and
that
would
be
a
way
that
I
think
the
at
least
the
community
up.
L
K
The
other
question
I
would
have
on
that
is:
are
we
going
to
identify
those
trees
right
away,
which
ones
are
going
to
be
ash?
That
would
have
to
go
no
matter
what
I
mean.
I
think
that
would
frankly,
that
would
appease
at
least
me
you
know
and
knowing
which
ones
are
going
to
come
down.
No
matter
what
and
then,
if
that
is
done,
when
would
they
start
to
remove
those
trees?
Is
that
going
to
be
something
that
they
do
when
they
start
the
construction
phase?
K
L
As
far
as
identification,
we
have
identified
the
ash
trees.
We
haven't
identified
every
tree
individually,
but
we
did
go
through
and
identify
the
number
of
ash
trees
and
you
are
correct.
There's
about
half
of
them.
There's
60
some
trees
that
are
affected
and
are
likely
going
to
have
to
come
out
about
half
of
those
30.
Some
are
ash
trees.
L
So,
if
you
can
envision,
you
know,
the
net
effect
is
there's
about
30
trees
having
to
come
out
that
wouldn't
have
to
if
it
weren't
for
this
project,
the
other
30
are
going
to
have
to
regardless,
because
they're
ash
trees
and
the
emerald
ash
borer
effect.
That's
going
to
be
hitting
you
know,
communities
all
around
us
here
in
a
in
a
short
manner
of
time.
So
as
far
as
our
tree
management
program,
those
ash
would
be
coming
out
regardless.
L
Yes,
good
question:
there
too,
we
talked
with
parker,
x
and
forestry
on
that
and
they
we
felt
it
probably
simplest
just
to
include
this
in
the
construction
of
the
project,
and
you
know:
they've
got
a
limited
resources,
limited
staff
limited
equipment,
so
we
anticipate
just
including
that
tree
removal
with
the
project,
and
then
that
would
be
one
of
the
first
items
obviously
come
spring
of
21.
Whenever
the
construction
starts
that
they
would,
the
contractors
subcontractor
would
come
through
and
take
those
trees
out
at
that
point
in
time.
L
C
Thank
you
mayor,
just
one
question
regarding
sidewalks
again,
the
if
you
have
a
sidewalk
and
I
don't
know
how
many
sidewalks
up
there
would
be
short
of
the
the
standard
width
which
I
think
is
five
feet.
If
someone
has
a
four
foot
wide
sidewalk,
would
that
require
them
to
replace
that.
D
J
Heath,
I
know
there's
at
least
one
question
tonight
and
I've
had
a
couple
of
people
approach
me
since
that
meeting,
I
think,
with
as
far
as
safe
safety
issues
up
there.
I
think
there's
a
perception
that,
with
the
widening,
adding
the
turning
lanes,
etc,
they're
actually
looking
at
moving
traffic
through
there
faster
and
or
you
know-
maybe
I
guess
fast
with
the
right
word
I
want
to
use
so
I
I
guess
speak
that
a
little
bit
as
far
as
you
know,
because
there
were,
there
are
some
concerns
about
safety.
J
I
think
there
was
a
a
daycare
center
along
that
stretch
that
specifically
was
referenced
the
other
night.
You
want
to
speak
to
that
a
little
bit
heath.
L
Yeah
absolutely
councilman
bill
howard,
so
the
the
goal
in
our
design
wouldn't
necessarily
to
be
to
increase
the
speed
at
which
the
traffic
flows
through
this
street
section,
but
more,
focusing
on
the
community's
use
of
this
public
right-of-way
and
optimizing
that
use
in
a
safe,
efficient
and
functional
manner.
L
And
so,
when
you
look
at
any
any
two-lane
street
such
as
this
one,
some
of
the
components
on
here
that
would
trigger
a
left
turn
lane,
for
example
that
causes
the
widening
all
the
more
but
there's
52
points
of
access
in
these
nine
blocks.
Those
include
driveways
street
intersections
and
intersections
with
alleys.
L
If
you
think
about
that
that
that's
that's
quite
a
few
points
of
potential
turning
movement
conflicts
in
a
nine
stretch,
nine
block
stretch
of
roadway
so
hence
hence
the
logic
behind
the
this
inter
turn
line,
the
other
part
of
that
is
it
being
an
emergency
route
to
the
hospital.
L
But
you
know
that's
also
consideration
that
we've
been
giving
this
this
project,
so
the
goal
would
be
something
I
touched
on.
The
public
open
house
too,
was
the
lane
widths
out
there
today
are
effectively
about
14
feet,
which
is
a
pretty
wide
lane
width.
Now
it's
not
striped
to
be
two
lanes,
but
that's
effectively.
What
you
have
is
two
lanes
that
are
pretty
wide
with
the
new
project.
L
They
recognize
that
they
got
a
lane
next
to
them
that
somebody
you
might
be
going
around
because
they're
turning
in
that
left
center
turn
lane,
and
in
this
case,
as
it's
designed
right
now,
you
got
parked
cars
to
the
right,
and
so
both
of
those
components
in
a
striped
narrower
street
lane
tend
to
be
a
traffic
calming
measure,
and
I
would
hope
that
you
know
in
the
studies.
I
think
prove
that
those
don't
actually
necessarily
promote
faster
draw
traffic.
L
J
So
so
so
the
design
up
there,
what
wouldn't,
inherently
or
by
default,
cause
traffic
or
cause
to
be
a
more
more
of
a
safety
hazard
up
there.
If
anything,
I'm
hearing
it
could
be
less
or
more
safe
up
there.
L
Yeah
all
these
design
components
that
we're
considering
definitely
are
adding
safety
to
the
street
section,
whether
it
be
to
protect
those
left,
turn
movements,
whether
it
be
for
use
and
use
of
the
public
right
away
in
its
most
functional
sense,
to
allow
parking
for
residential
areas
and
things
of
that
nature.
L
Some
of
those
things
were
brought
up
at
the
meeting
too.
That
we'll
continue
to
look
into
are
you
know?
Maybe
there's
crosswalks
warranted
at
some
of
these
intersections
to
help
draw
attention
to
the
heavier
pedestrian
traffic
routes
that
you
know
you
don't
want
kids
stepping
out
from
a
parked
car,
and
you
want
to
have
either
a
ped
crossing
formal
crossing
with
lights
and
everything,
or
even
as
something
as
simple
as
a
striped
crosswalk
on
the
roadway.
J
I'd
just
like
to
make
a
comment
that
commend
heath
for
the
way.
He
feel
that
I
think
it
was
about
45
minutes
worth
of
questions
the
other
night
and
not
all
of
them
were
real
pleasant
ones
to
be
addressing,
and
I
want
to
commend
the
manner
in
which
you
address
the
the
concerns
and
ask
the
questions
he.
L
Well,
thank
you.
We
appreciate
that
and
as
staff
you
know
we're
all
we're
all
in
this
together,
we
want
to
see
what's
what's
good
for
the
community,
you
know
there's
no
agenda
here
by
any
means.
It's
it's
offering
up.
What
we
feel
is
the
safest
option
for
a
roadway
of
the
stature
of
this
amount
of
traffic
volume
and
what
makes
sense
for
watertown
and
that's
where
these
one-on-one
meetings
with
the
homeowners
will
come
into
play
as
well
and
be
be
valued
in
that
respect.
A
Okay,
yes,
once
again,
I
am
checking
things
off
as
heath
is
speaking
about
the
traffic
calming
whatever.
I
guess.
You've
addressed
all
those
things,
but
I
would
suggest
that
if
you
want
an
example
of
places
where
the
sidewalk
and
driveway
depths
have
been
reduced
because
of
the
length
of
the
street
and
while
I'd
like
fourth
avenue
to
be
wider
in
a
perfect
world,
if
we
didn't
have
the
off
street
parking
or
on
street
parking
excuse
me,
you
can
see
that
almost
every
single
driveway,
if
a
car
pulled
into
it,
would
back
out
onto
the
sidewalk.
A
So
that
needs
to
be
kept
in
mind
too,
because
I
know
it's
mentioned
that
some
of
those
driveways
will
be
shortened,
and
I
think
it
actually
helps
having
the
off
street
parking
for
safety
for
people
coming
and
going
unless
they
hang
their
door
out.
15
minutes,
but
anyway,
just
take
a
look
at
that
and
take
that
in
consideration
and
picture
what
it
would
be
like
if
there
was
no
parking
and
the
driveways
were
shortened
to
the
point
where
the
cars
would
touch
or
hang
off
of
the
sidewalk.
A
B
B
L
Yeah,
thank
you
for
that
councilman
albertson.
So
when
you
talk
about
curbside
sidewalk,
the
the
biggest
there's
two
main
factors
that
that
come
to
mind
on
on
why
they're
not
recommended
or
or
we
don't
like
to
utilize
them,
at
least
in
our
climate,
the
main
one
being
for
safety
reasons.
Like
you
indicated
councilman,
you
are
putting
the
pedestrians
right
next
to
the
flow
of
traffic,
which
creates
inherent
and
obvious
safety
concerns,
and
then
the
other
one
is
more
operational
with
snow
removal.
L
We
do,
of
course,
have
some
of
those
sidewalks
like
that
in
town,
they're
not
convenient
when
the
street
division
has
to
go
back
through
and
plow
snow
off
the
sidewalks
that
they
put
there
because
it
came
off
the
streets.
Of
course,
it's
no
homeowner
likes
to
do
that
either.
If
we're
plowing
snow
off
onto
these
areas,
they
don't
like
to
come
out
and
have
to
remove
that
from
their
sidewalks
as
well.
So
we
try
to
avoid
it
for
both
of
those
reasons,
one
for
pedestrian
safety
and
then
the
other
one
for
snow
removal.
A
Question
on
the
sidewalk
issue
again
just
a
couple
of
comments:
if
by
standard,
if
we
find
sidewalk
up
there,
that
is
good
and
acceptable
and
deemed
we
don't
have
to
replace
that.
That's
all
four
foot
sidewalk
up
there
correct.
A
L
So
in
those
in
that
situation,
councilman
rademski,
what
we're
hoping
to
do
is
what
we're
planning
to
do
is
replace
all
the
sidewalk
and
that
sidewalk
that
is
three
or
four
feet.
That's
in
good
condition
would
not
be
assessed
back
to
the
homeowner,
but
we
did
want
one
uniform
five
foot
width
for
that
entire
run,
that
entire
stretch
again
for
pedestrian
safety
and
pedestrian,
maximizing
the
usability
of
that
sidewalk
to
match
our
new
design
standards.
A
K
To
you
know
hear
about
them
through
other
sources.
D
D
H
B
E
D
A
K
D
D
Right
before
item
h
on
the
regular
agenda
and
then
I'm
going
to
move
item
g
from
the
regular
agenda
onto
consent.
Since
that's
an
annual
action,
it's
not
controversial
and
the
price
has
not
gone
up
from
last
year
and
with
those
changes
is
there
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
councilman
hoyer.
H
Real
quick
comment
on
b:
there's
just
a
typo
in
it,
so
it's
a
paragraph
four.
I
believe
paragraph
four
just
correct
the
third
reference
to
lgbtq
currently
reads:
lgbtq,
so
just
correcting
the
language
there.
D
H
D
All
right,
the
next
item
is
public
comments,
and
this
is
the
time
set
aside
for
anyone
who
would
like
to
make
a
public
comment
to
step
forward
and
do
so.
Please
state
your
name
into
the
microphone
for
the
record
before
making
your
comment
and
if
your
comment
is
related
to
an
agenda
item,
please
wait
for
that
agenda
item
to
be
taken
up
by
the
council.
Is
there
anyone
who
cares
to.
D
D
D
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay,
motion
carries
okay
item.
Eight
is
the
regular
agenda;
a
is
application
for
a
transfer
of
ownership,
of
a
retail
on
off
sale,
malt
beverage
and
south
dakota
wine
license
farm
wine
license
and
video
lottery
license
from
jen
core
inc,
doing
business
as
gamespot
casino,
717,
south
broadway
to
red
door,
llc
doing
business
as
the
red
door
at
the
same
location.
A
Transfer
so
the
location
and
everything
is
the
same,
simply
a
transfer
of
ownership.
If
there's
any
specific
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
Otherwise,
motion
to
approve.
D
D
D
J
E
A
E
Of
going
and
doing
a
background
check,
we
no
longer
do
that,
but
on
their
application,
when
they
do
a
transfer.
A
Of
ownership,
or
if
it
is
a
new
license,
they
are
asked
a
couple
questions
one
is:
have
you
ever
committed
a
felony,
so
essentially
that
we're
assuming
that
they're
answering
that
honestly.
J
Okay,
that
refreshes
my
memory
now
so
thanks,
kristen.
D
Was
the
post
signified
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
item
b?
Is
annexation
and
zoning
of
the
south
88
feet
of
the
west
100
feet
of
lot,
4
cook,
cold
subdivision
and
it's
got
two
parts:
approval
of
resolution,
number
20-31,
initiating
annexation
of
attractive
land
contiguous
to
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota
and
I'll.
Do
that
one
first,
their
motion
promotion
by
holine
and
a
second
by
vilhauer
and
I'll?
Ask
public
works
director
city,
engineer,
heath
von
nai
to
explain
this
to
us.
Please.
L
Yeah.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
This
is
a
petition
to
annex
into
the
city
for
a
parcel
of
land.
That's
adjacent
to
the
current
city
limits.
The
owners,
larry,
maxwell
and
emily
borkas
are
have
petitioned
us
to
annex
approximately
0.2
acres.
This
land
is
adjacent
to
the
back
of
their
lot.
That
exist
along
golf
course.
Road
and
is,
would
subsequently
be
recommended
to
be
rezoned
or
zoned
r1
upon
annexation,
which
would
be
the
subsequent
action.
If
this
is
approved.
L
This
was
approved
recommended
for
approval
by
the
planning
commission
unanimously
on
july
9th,
at
their
meeting
on
a
vote
of
to
7-0
and
the
urban
planner
brandy,
hatton
or
myself
are
here
to
help
answer
any
questions.
I
can
pull
up
a
map
for
reference
here
that
I'll
share
my
screen
with,
so
everybody
has
that
information
as
well.
L
So
the
portion
of
of
annexation
and
zoning
here
is
immediately
south
of
the
lot
that
exists
as
a
single-family
residential
unit
along
golf
course.
Road
zoning
in
this
area
is
all
r1
and
is
again
what
we
would
subsequently
zone
this
portion
too.
L
E
E
D
B
D
D
D
J
D
L
L
The
planning
commission
discussed
and
initiated
an
ordinance
amendment
that
would
update
the
public
notice
requirement
to
for
certain
actions
such
as
conditional
uses,
variances
and
zoning
amendments.
L
They
took
this
discussion
up
their
june
4th
meeting,
and
this
proposed
amendment
includes
language
that
will
provide
notice
to
land
owners,
either
adjacent
to
or
within
250
feet,
which
includes
the
width
of
right
away,
whichever
those
two
situations
provides
greater
notice,
whether
they're
adjacent
or
within
250
feet
from
the
legal
lot
of
record
petitioning
for
such
a
change,
notices
will
be
sent
by
first
class.
Mail
is
another
component,
and
let
me
see
a
couple
more
highlights
here.
L
We
also
talked
about
you
know,
making
sure
that
we're
logging,
those
communications
and
tracking
those
the
first
class
mailings
to
those
adjacent
or
properties
within
250
feet.
So
we
have
a
record
of
that
and.
L
The
other
components
are
assigned
being
placed
on
property
specific
to
applications
for
conditional
use.
That's
something
that's
actually
required
by
south
dakota
codified
laws
and
something
that
we
haven't
consistently
been
performing
and
want
to
just
make
sure
it's
clarified
in
the
ordinance.
It
is
a
requirement
we
will
be
creating
those
signs
making
those
signs
and
providing
them
for
the
applicants
for
those
conditional
uses,
along
with
providing
them
guidance
on
where
they
should
be
located
on
their
property.
So
they
don't
conflict
with
any
of
our
assigned
placement
regulations.
L
D
D
K
L
L
L
H
L
Yes,
exactly
right,
that's
the
premise
behind
the
sign
posting
a
lot
of
communities
use
those
sign
posting
requirements
in
a
similar
fashion.
This
is
what
we'll
be
implementing
here.
D
D
Does
the
post
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item
d?
Is
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
20-27
amending
the
zoning
map
of
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota
for
a
portion
of
stony
point
from
our
one
single
family,
residential
district
c2,
local
commercial
district
and
a1
agricultural
district
to
cl
lake
commercial
district.
J
L
L
The
rezone
request
is
mostly
consistent
with
city
watertown's,
2020,
comprehensive
land
use
plan
that
which
shows
this
area
to
be
developed
with
mixed
uses,
residential
and
commercial.
The
lake
compescu
master
plan
that
was
approved
by
the
planning,
commission
and
city
council
in
2019
also
shows
the
area
being
proposed
to
be
rezoned
as
mixed
use.
L
However,
and
that's
where
the
term
mostly
consistent
with
comes
into
play,
the
comp
plan
and
lake
pesca
master
plan
do
show
open
space
buffer
from
the
existing
residential
districts
to
to
the
west
and
south
from
the
mixed
uses
and
the
the
applicant
is
proposing
through
the
the
rezone
here
and
the
subsequent
use
of
that
rezoned
area.
To
still
inherently
have
a
buffer
remain
because
of
the
wetlands
that
exist
on
the
west
side
of
this
rezone
and
they're
they're
accounting.
L
For
that
those
wetlands
to
remain,
and
this
and
effectively
act
as
that
green
space
or
that
buffer.
That
the
comp
plan
and
lake
pesca
master
plan
outline
the
cl
lake
commercial
district
was
strategically
and
intentionally
developed
to
allow
for
mixed-use
development,
infill,
that's
adjacent
to
the
residentially
zoned
properties,
near
lake
compesca
and
lake
pelican.
L
As
as
we're
mostly
aware,
lake
compesca
is
largely
developed
as
r1
single-family
residential
and
one
of
the
points
behind
that
plan
was
to
make
the
communities
fulfill
the
community's
desire
for
more
commercial
development,
which
is
difficult
to
achieve
when
it's
fully
developed
and
zoned.
The
way
it
is
is
r1.
L
L
They
must
also
provide
visual
relief
when
the
walls
exceed
50,
foot
or
more
in
a
length,
and
shale
also
have
15
foot
of
grass
on
side
yards
the
side
yard
setbacks
are
much
greater
for
cl
than
for
cl
zone
properties.
They
require
30
to
35
feet,
depending
on
the
building
height
more
than
the
9
feet.
That's
required
residentially
in
other
residentially
zoned
areas,
and
this,
of
course,
is
to
help
provide
for
an
appropriate
buffer
between
those
budding
residential
uses
and
these
mixed
residential
slash
commercial
uses.
L
The
planning
commission
recommended
approval
on
july
9th
2020
at
a
vote
of
six
to
one
it's
before
the
council.
With
with
that
recommendation
from
the
planning
commission
on
second
reading
tonight,
I
believe
the
one
descending
vote
from
the
planning
commission
was
related
to
an
amendment
that
was
proposed
on
excluding
a
certain
stretch
of
land
on
the
south
side
from
the
rezone
that
was
adjacent
to
an
existing
residence.
L
D
D
H
All
right,
my
name
is
mike
lawrence,
I'm
I
work
with
bob
drake,
I'm
obviously
for
this.
This
plan,
like
you
guys,
said
it's
on
it's
in
all
of
our
planning.
It's
a
it's!
It's
wanted
by
the
community.
The
cl
designer
district
was
designed
to
be
put
in
with
residential.
If
you
take
a
look
at
his
map
up
there,
the
actual
places-
I
guess
I
have
this
map
too,
can
you
bring
up
my
map.
H
So
when
you
take
out
the
wetlands
and
the
setbacks,
this
is
your
buildable
area.
You
go
from
27
acres
to
about
10.86,
which
1.22
of
those
acres
are
already
commercially
zoned
yeah.
Oh
yep!
You
bet
sorry.
H
If
you
take
a
look
at
the
adjacent
land
owners,
I
mean
there's
a
there's.
Obviously,
if,
if
you're
developing
at
the
lake
there's
going
to
be
adjacent
landowners,
it's
there's
just
no
way
around
it.
There's
no
place
to
develop
with
it.
The
thing
about
this
is:
we
have
a
road
on
on
most
of
the
of
the
area,
so
we
actually
touch
adjacent
landowners
in
two
spots.
One
of
them
is,
actually
you
know.
Rather
it
does
touch
there.
It's
rather
small,
it's
a
small,
it's
a
it's!
H
A
lineal
footage
is
a
lot
considerably
less
than
this.
So
that's
one
thing
to
take
into
account:
we
do
have
the
limits
of
the
wetlands.
We
talked
with
gfmp.
We
offered
them
an
easement
on
them;
they
they
refused
it.
They
assured
me
that
rhett
russell
assured
me
that
those
wetlands
are
safe
and
he
I
asked
for
a
letter
or
something
like
that,
and
he
said
their
their
organization.
Writes
letters
when
things
go
wrong
not
not
to
clarify,
so
I
tried
we
tried
everything
we
could
do
to
try
to
get
that
taken
care
of.
H
One
thing
also
I
want
to
take
in
and
mention
is
you
know
this
was
zoned
r1
bob
was
in
front
of
this
very
council
sitting
in
this,
probably
this
very
chair
seven
years
ago,
with
a
plan
to
do
27
large
lot,
r1
homes
that
lot
that
that
failed,
bob
wouldn't
be
here.
If
it
went
through
a
lot
of
people
say
you
know
it
should
just
be
r1.
Well,
he
tried
that
in
in
almost
the
biggest
latch
you
could
possibly
put
up
there.
You
know
if
it's
28
acre
parcel
and
he
has
27
lots
on
there.
H
You
know
minus
the
wetlands.
It's
it
was
a.
It
was
a
pretty
good
plan.
I
thought
back
then,
but
he's
worked
through
this
whole
thing.
We
worked
with
neighbors.
We
we
straighten
the
roads.
We
paid
for
engineering
we've
fixed
we're
working
on
fixing
drainage
with
our
plans
we've
we've
we've
waited
for
the
cl
district.
We,
you
know
we're
fitting
in
a
box
that
you
guys
just
built,
you
know,
and
that
box
I
mean
fifty
percent
of
the
most
expensive
land
on
the
in
our
community
square.
H
Foot
price
is
automatically
taken
off
of
that,
so
I
mean
you're
looking
at.
Let's
say
this
is
a
1.2
1.4
million
dollar
750
000
of
that
is
just
chopped
off
right.
To
begin
with,
I
mean:
that's,
that's
that's
a
lot.
That's
that's!
A
pretty
big
investment,
we're
just
asking
to
stay
and
and
stay
within
the
box
that
you
guys
just
built.
H
Let
me
see
here.
We
went
step
by
step.
We
if
we
thought
we
needed
a
variance.
We
worked
on
changing
the
ordinance
so
that
we
weren't
getting
a
variance
and
we
weren't
asking
for
special
favors
we've
worked
through
and
this
process
almost
tirelessly
like
I
said
it,
we
have
commercial
c2
on
there.
If
you
look
at
the
residential,
we
tried
that
didn't
work
and
as
far
as
the
egg,
it's
a
it's
a
non-conforming
egg
lot.
At
this
point,
and
with
that
I
guess
I
would
take
any
questions.
K
Mike
on
those
a
couple
of
comments,
we've
heard
is
being
putting
commercial
right
next
to
a
residential
house.
I
would
assume
there's
going
to
be
a
buffer
zone
through
there,
where
you're
going
to
can
transition
from
some
commercial,
some
residential,
some
condos
things
of
that.
H
There's
there's
definitely
mixed
use
and
we
we
don't
know
even
what
the
plan
is,
we're
going
that
comes
later
right
now
we're
looking
at
the
zoning.
I
can't
design
this
until
I
know
what
zone
it's
in.
I
can't
go
with
the
prelim
plan.
We,
the
city,
has
rules
that
we
have
to
follow.
We
have
to
you,
know,
do
the
traffic
counts
and
all
that
stuff
I
mean
to
to
go
to
that
next
step
and
start
planning
buildings.
H
L
Madam
here
yes
to
councilman
lollam's
point,
I
would.
I
would
point
out
too,
that
the
cl
zoning
district
hassles
has
several
components
built
into
it
that
help
with
that
transitioning
effect,
and
that's
something
that
the
planning
commission,
committee
and
staff
looked
at
and
focused
on
and
emphasized
when
we
put
the
cl
district
together,
we
knew
that
this,
this
district
being
used
as
an
infill
district,
is
going
to
be
adjacent
to
r1
zones.
So
we
were
intentional
about
putting
some
of
those
design
criteria
into
that
zone.
L
H
And-
and
I
mean
I
was
up
here
for
the
the
done
rezone
and
and
said
you
guys-
don't
have
the
right
tool
in
the
box.
Well,
you
made
the
right
tool,
I
mean
and
we're
using
it,
and
that
tool
was
designed
for
the
lake.
Specifically,
it
was
not
designed
to
be
put
in
with
houses.
You
know
to
to
give
the
50
restriction,
plus
your
your
large
setbacks,
there's
a
lot
of
restrictions
on
this
zone.
H
What
you
can
and
can't
do
with
it
in
fact
we're
looking
at
a
lot
of
our
other
projects
and
it's
it's
50
is
a
lot
of
land
to
give
up
when
you
just
plus
your
setbacks.
You
know
I
mean
so
you're
looking
at
a
pretty
large
amount
of
land
that
you're
going
to
be
giving
up
on
any
project
that
you
do.
If
you
look
at
a
storage
yard
and
you
have
to
double
the
size
of
the
the
lot
just
because
of
the
size
of
the
building
it
it's
it's
a
lot.
That's
that's
a
large
number.
E
My
name
is
lisa
johnson.
I
live
at
848,
south
lake
drive
on
here
on
the
right
side
map.
We
have
a
full
view
of
what
is
proposed.
My
husband,
chad
and
I
live
here
as
homeowners.
We
are
directly
impacted
by
the
cl
rezone
and
we
feel
strongly
that
it
should
not
be
passed
when
we
moved
here
in
2012.
We
knew
we
didn't
want
to
live
in
town.
We
chose
out
here
for
the
best
of
the
country
and
the
city.
E
E
E
E
We
live
here,
full-time,
not
just
on
the
weekends
our
house
isn't
on
the
lake.
That's
how
we
wanted
it.
We
use
all
the
public
access
points
and
we
don't
have
any
issues
getting
onto
the
lake.
If
nothing
else.
I
encourage
the
council
to
get
in
writing
from
the
game
state
game,
fish
and
parks
that
that
area
cannot
be
used.
E
E
E
So
this
is
taken
from
our
bedroom
window
and
you
can
see
the
neighbors
behind
us
and
here's
the
road,
and
this
is
where
did
the
development
will
be
at
right
here.
This
is
our
view
of
the
lake,
that's
just
what
it
was
when
we
bought
it
from
dennis.
We
have
lot
three
and
there's
the
wildlife
habitat
again,
another
view
that
we
have,
and
then
this
last
one
is
from
our
garage,
and
it
does
show
the
house
that
we
could
never
see.
That
was
on
the
point
that
was
just
built
here
a
few
years
ago.
E
D
D
C
C
C
C
A
D
C
I'm
sure,
if
you,
if
you
look
at
the
property
and
what's
being
rezoned
here,
if
you
look
clear
to
the
south,
that
was
some
ag
property
that
couldn't
be
rezoned
or
couldn't
be
used
at
the
current
time.
Anyway,
if
you
look
at
the
requirements
of
the
cl
zone,
you
have
a
lot
of
fifty
percent
of
it
has
to
be
set
inside
is
is
basically
open
spaces
and
by
doing
it
all
together,
we
can
take
that
wetland
and
preserve
it
and
keep
it
as
an
open
space.
D
I
Good
evening,
casey
dubois
6205
prairie
hills
avenue,
I'm
immediately
adjacent
to
the
pink
up
there,
which
I
think
is
referred
to
as
parcel
number
two,
and
I
want
to
specifically
speak
about
the
rezoning
of
parcel
number
two,
because
it
is
what
it
is
surrounds
my
property
on
three
sides
on
the
north
and
on
the
east
and
a
little
bit
on
the
west
as
well.
I
just
don't
believe
it's
appropriate
to
surround
an
existing
residential
property
with
a
new
commercial
zone.
I
This
road
rezoning
has
a
strong
potential
to
leave
a
negative
impact
on
the
value
of
my
property.
Over
time.
I
was
at
the
last
planning
committee
mission
meeting
and
you
know
whenever
there's
a
new
commercial
development
j
occurring
adjacent
to
an
existing
residential
development,
there's
going
to
be
conflict.
I
This
is
a
case
where
that's
really
happening
and
the
impacting
impact
of
the
on
the
existing
properties
now
and
in
the
future
should
be
strongly
considered.
As
you
make
your
difficult
decisions,
I
oppose
the
rezoning
parcel
2,
which
is
basically
the
wetlands
because
of
the
potential
negative
impact
on
my
peaceful
enjoyment
of
the
property
and
the
future
value
of
my
property,
and
because
this
rezoning
is
not
essential
to
further
development
of
stony
point.
As
this
lot
is
predominantly
wetlands,
the
developer
himself
has
said
it
will
likely
never
be
developed.
I
It
is
illogical,
then,
to
me
that
the
parcel
would
be
rezoned
to
be
commercial.
I
asked
the
council
to
consider
these
impacts
to
the
ceramic
properties.
As
you
make
your
decision,
council
alum,
you
made
a
comment
about
trying
to
space
the
commercial
elements
from
the
residential
elements.
I
And
so
it's
those
kind
of
things
that
are
most
concerning
as
we
go
forward
based
on
how
that
part
of
the
project
is
zoned.
So
again
urge
you
to
leave
parcel
2
out
of
the
rezoning.
A
Hi
there
I'm
tara
forsberg
jacobson,
and
I
am
speaking
as
a
mixed,
I'm
neither
for
it
and
I'm
neither
against
it.
So
I
am
the
landowner
that
kind
of
has
the
most
at
stake.
I'm
the
the
largest
homeowner
with
the
most
buffering
land,
and
I
am
so
honored
to
be
able
to
live
up
there.
I've
spoken
with
many
of
you
about
this
and
and
told
you
this
that
it
is
just
is
the
most
incredible
land
on
the
lake
and
I'm
so
honored
to
live
there.
It's
the
best
sunsets.
A
You
know
I
have
a
lot
of
history
up
there
with
my
family
and
I
just
it's
just
such
an
amazing
property.
So
I've
spoken
with
many
of
you
and
I
just
I
know
that
this
is
heavy
on
all
of
your
shoulders
and
I
appreciate
what
you're
doing,
but
please
tread
lightly.
This
is
we
have
one
chance
to
do
this
right.
A
I
I
like
what
you're
talking
about
it
having
this
mixed.
You
know
it's
there's
so
many
people
that
are
speaking
for
this
and
yet
they're
speaking
that
many
people
are
against
this,
and
so
it's
very
much
on
your
shoulders
to
keep
this
correct
as
a
mixed
property.
You
know
keep
that
the
nature
there
keep
the
enjoyment
that
wants
to
be
there
it's.
This
is
tough,
and
I
I
commend
you
for
making
this
vote,
and
I
just
want
it
on
record
that
I
neither
oppose
or
promote
this.
K
I
Colin
paulson,
I'm
neither
four
are
against
it.
I
just
wanted
to
kind
of
speak
up
a
little
bit,
one
of
the
the
most.
I
Of
the
only
spots,
that's
undeveloped
on
this
whole
lake,
but
I
do
get
the
concerns
of
all
these
citizens
that
live
near.
K
We're
always
going
to
have
concerns,
and
I
think
the
previous.
I
I
K
H
I'll
just
toss
out
on
this,
I
really
appreciate
that
the
developers
waited
long
enough
for
the
lake
commercial
district
to
be
developed.
A
lot
of
work
went
into
that
and
its
purpose,
more
than
anything,
is
to
try
and
protect
those
r1
properties
so
that
when
we
do
develop
the
lake
we're
doing
it
with
respect
to
everything
around
it
now
the
question
came
up
about
why
the
wetlands
are
included
in
that
zoning
as
part
of
that
giving
up
extra
land
to
preserve
it.
That
comes
with
it.
H
So
it
has
to
be
included
in
it
for
them
to
meet
that
requirement.
Wetlands
are
really
a
prime
opportunity
for
it
just
because
to
eliminate
wetlands,
you
have
to
replace
them
with
a
lot
more
wetlands,
which
is
really
cost
prohibitive
for
any
developers,
so
them
having
the
opportunity
to
just
preserve
those
and
keep
that
as
part
of
the
natural
habitat,
I
mean
that's
a
positive
opportunity
for
them.
H
I
I
would
agree
that
there's
a
very,
very
slim
chance
that
those
would
ever
be
changed
in
development,
just
because
it's
again
very
cost
prohibitive
to
touch
them,
and
you
go
through
a
lot
of
red
tape.
As
soon
as
you
start
playing
with
wetlands,
but
again,
the
lake
commercial
district
was
developed
to
make
sure
that
these
buildings
that
go
up
are
visually
appealing
they're.
H
You
know
they're
they're,
not
cheap
they're
they're
done
well,
and
they
are
aesthetically
pleasing
to
the
surrounding
area.
When
it
comes
to
traffic
and
headlights.
One
of
the
things
I
kind
of
would
question
with.
It
is
just
that
this
is
a
natural
like
drive
around
the
lake
area.
Anyway,
with
south
lake
drive
being
there,
I
know
that
there's
a
lovely
restaurant
located
up
in
one
of
those
c2s
that
a
lot
of
us
frequent
post
golf
or
just
on
a
good
weekend.
H
So
I
know
that
there's
already
traffic
going
through
here,
I
don't
know
how
significant
it's
going
to
be
impacted
by
some
extra
development.
It
could
be
quite
a
bit
substantially.
I
mean
there's
no
way
to
guess
that,
hopefully,
of
course,
they
would
see
business
on
top
of
that
too,
though,
when
it
talks
about
property
value,
yes,
being
next
to
a
hotel,
could
affect
you,
but
at
the
same
time
as
amenities
go
in
next
to
you
as
well,
that's
going
to
increase
your
value.
H
It
sometimes
your
views
are
going
to
change
a
little
bit,
but
you
just
do
the
best
with
what
you
got
and
there's
some
people
willing
to
take
a
very
large
risk
attempting
this
and
they
are
going
through
every
hurdle
that
we
put
out
there
for
him.
So
for
me,
I'm
gonna
be
going
yes
on
this,
just
because
we
have
to
take
those
chances
sometimes
and
go
after
some
of
this
stuff,
because
they
don't
come
around
every
day.
H
B
Please
bob
you've
heard
the
you've
heard
the
comments
from
the
two
people
that
have
expressed
some
concern
about
that
number.
One,
there's
nothing!
You
can
do
about
the
johnsons,
losing
the
aesthetic
beauty
of
looking
over
the
lake
and
what
they
thought
they
had,
but
the
headlight
issue
is
there
anything
that
you
could
do
to
help.
B
That
certainly
would
be
something
that
would
be
really
sickening.
If
that's
the
right
word
to
look
at
headlights
starting
at
you
know
what
dark
and
going
on
until
morning.
Is
there
anything
you
could
do
about
that
and
number
two,
the
house
that's
going
to
be
200
yards,
you
talked
about
a
berm.
Is
there
anything
you
could
do
to
kind
of
break
that
down
so
the
landowner
the
house
owner
doesn't
have
just
that
view
right
into
your
area
there,
and
so
I'll
just
sit
back
and
wait
for
your
answer.
C
Technically
this
would
be,
this
would
be
north
towards
the
lake,
and
so,
if
you're
looking
at
at
this
parcel,
the
actual
buildable
area
comes
down
in
here
we're
looking
at
adding
a
berm
and
possibly
you
know,
rocks
trees
whatever
we
can
do
to
protect
the
house.
That's
here
when
this
road
originally
had
gone
around,
had
curved
and
came
back
and
that's
when
casey
was
saying
that
the
headlights
were
coming
into
his
house
casey's
a
little
lower
than
the
houses
that
are
over
here.
C
There's
a
huge
ridge
over
on
this
side
and
there's
so
from
a
light
standpoint.
You're
coming
down
this
road
and
can
lights
get
up
there?
I
would
suppose
you
know,
I
don't
know
how
you
would
stop
that.
I
mean
I'm
willing
to
plant
some
trees
over
there
if
that
would
help.
But
that's
you
know
on
her
property
as
far
as
her
view,
I'm
sitting
where
she's
setting
miss
johnson
sets
up
here
so
when
she
or
let
me
see
if
I
can
get
the
right
spot
right.
C
There
sorry,
like
I
said,
she's
up
on
a
hill,
so
she
has
a
big
view
when
you
come
in
on
those
lights,
you're
actually
coming
in
at
a
lower
level.
Now
does
lights,
obviously
don't
go
straight,
they
go.
They
go
up
some,
and
so
I
don't
know
how
you
would
I
don't
know
what
else
you
could
do
on
that
end
other
than
maybe
plant
some
trees.
You
know
that
in
and
we
would
do
that
for
her
if
she
wanted
that
as
far
as
straightening
the
road
that
took
care
of
the
questions
over
there.
C
C
I
mean
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
make
it
as
aesthetically
pleasing
as
we
can
we're
trying
to
keep
with
the
same
mode
that
dennis
has
down
below
when
we
finish
the
pond
and
reworking
the
pond.
They'll
have
rocks
and
trees
and
we're
going
to
try
to
make
it
as,
like,
I
say,
as
aesthetically,
pleasing
as
we
can,
but
on
the
light
side
of
things
like
we're
willing
to
plant
the
trees.
If
you
want
some
trees,
or
you
know
that
in
but
it's
hard
to
block
something
when
you're
clear
up
on
a
hill.
So.
D
C
I
would
mention
that
when
we
were
talking
about
the
hotel,
the
hotel
would
be
clear
up
here
into
this
parcel
along
the
the
bank,
which
would
be
probably
quite
a
bit
farther
than
what
casey
had
said.
J
I've
got
a
question
I
asked
the
same
question
two
weeks
ago,
but
I
just
want
to
ask
ask
it
again
when
this
came
before
us
a
few
years
ago.
At
that
time,
this
this
project
had
been
studied
to
death.
Everybody
and
their
dog
had
had
a
study
that
was
presented
to
us
as
far
as
ramifications
or
implications
the
lake,
the
area
et
cetera,
I'm
not
hearing
much
of
that
this
time.
J
So
I
guess
I'll,
ask
you,
know
where's,
you
know:
lake
pesca
water
project,
district,
the
isaac,
walton
league,
d-e-n-r,
game
fish
and
parks
was
referenced.
The
ikes
the
army
corps
of
engineers,
where
are
those
groups
adam
they've,
been
in
the
process
through
all
this,
and
I
just
haven't
heard
much
from
any
or
any
reference
made
to
those
groups
this
time
around
compared
to
a
few
years
ago,.
D
Those
agencies
have
all
been
contacted
and
asked
to
make
a
ruling
before
the
council
acts
and
last
time
they
were
going
to
have
them
rule
after
the
council
took
action,
so
the
council
was
kind
of
put
out.
You
know
first,
and
so
I
know
that
made
the
council
nervous,
but
at
this
time
they
they
have
been
following
every
requirement
that
we
have,
including
the
highly
controversial
request
to
not
have
to
comply
with
the
stormwater
rigs
last
time.
J
I
guess
as
long
as
that's
the
florida
just
just
a
comment,
you
know
if
I
were
the
johnsons.
If
I
were
mr
deboer,
I
would
have
the
very
same
concerns
that
they
would
have
if
this
were
being
put
in
my
in
my
backyard,
and
I
expressed
that
in
an
email
to
the
johnson
that
I
hate
being
put
in
this
position.
J
But
I
guess
I
feel
our
job
as
a
member
of
the
council
is
to
look
out
what
we
feel
is
best
for
on
the
best
interest
of
the
community,
and
this
is
something
that
I
feel
will
benefit
the
community.
Unfortunately,
there
are
going
to
be
some
parties
that
may
be
harmed
by
this,
but
but
also
a
comment
that
I
I
pay
a
lot
of
attention
to
the
process.
That's
been
involved
the
ciel
lake
district
and
that
took
us.
J
J
Also,
I
sat
through
or
watched
the
planning
commission
or
sat
through
the
planning
commission
discussion
on
this,
and
I
respect
respect
those
people,
the
the
due
diligence
they
put
into
their
decision.
I
feel
I've.
I've
gotta
take
that
into
consideration
how
I
vote
when
it
comes
for
us
to
council.
So
having
said
that,
I
I
feel
I've.
I've
got
no
basis
not
to
support
this,
even
though
there
are
gonna
be
some
individual
landowners
that
may
be
harmed
by
this.
D
D
K
You
know
I've
heard
some
of
these
concerns.
I've
talked
to
several
of
you
folks
out
there.
You
know
to
glenn's
point.
We
put
a
lot
of
emphasis
on
our
planning
and
zoning
boards
and
to
do
the
right
thing
and
and
to
come
up
with
these.
You
know,
city
staff
as
well
as
many
many
people
were
involved
in
in
coming
up
with
the
commercial
lake
district.
K
You
know
it's
it's
a
long
endeavor.
I
feel
for
everyone
out
there
that
you
know
has
their
their
property
impacted
either
way.
You
know
to
tara's
point.
You
know
she.
She
butts
up
right
next
to
it
right
next
to
lake.
You
know,
I
think,
when
you,
when
you're
dealing
with
this,
and
especially
the
scale
that
it'll
be
done,
you
know
it
has
to
be
done
correctly.
I
I
don't
believe
in
my
heart
that
the
developers
are
going
to
do
anything.
K
That's
going
to
you
know,
harm
their
property
intentionally
or
anyone
else's
for
that
matter,
because
they,
frankly,
if
you
do
it
wrong,
you
don't
sell
them.
So
I
mean
they're.
The
the
public
will
react
to
how
how
well
it
is
done
and
if
it's
done
correctly
one
way
or
another.
So
you
know
I
I
feel
for
everyone
involved
in
this,
but
it's
a
long
process
that's
been
drug
out
and
I
think
all
the
hoops
have
been
hit
and
I
think
that
the
you
know
developers
are
doing
things
the
correct
way.
K
D
Else-
and
I
I
have
to
say
the
when
we
just
did
our
late
compesca
master
plan,
we
asked
the
consultant
to
advise
us.
Where
else
can
we
put
commercial
development
because
there's
a
big
demand
for
it
and
they
found
a
grand
total
of
zero
other
places
other
than
where
it
exists
right
now?
That
would
be
that
they
would
recommend
for
commercial
development.
This
is
immediately
adjacent
to
commercial
development,
so
they're
not
a
lot
of
places
like
that.
D
L
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
This
area
of
town
is
dakota.
Commons
llc
is
the
owner
of
this
area
and
they
have
petitioned
to
annex
and
zone
approximately
21
and
a
half
acres.
This
is
part
of
the
dakota
commons
subdivision
out
on
the
east
side
of
town,
it's
south
of
3rd
avenue,
east
and
east
of
19th
street
north.
L
The
portion
of
dakota
commons
that
is
currently
annexed
and
zoned
is
also
pud,
and
this
is
the
next
logical
phase
of
development.
For
this
subdivision.
L
L
But
if
you
recall,
we
did
recently
amend
our
pud
zoning
regulations,
and
so
a
subsequent
detailed
preliminary
plan
would
come
forth
to
staff
and
planning
commission
and
that
would
then
solidify
the
lot.
Layouts
the
street
alignments
and
things
of
that
nature
had
a
subsequent
through
subsequent
reviews.
L
So
here's
out
on
the
east
side
of
town,
this
line
right
here
represents
19th
street
running
north
and
south.
This
pink
area
is
what's
currently
annexed
and
zoned
as
a
pud
in
the
dakota
commons
subdivision.
This
hatched
area
is
what
we're
talking
about
for
for
action,
the
first
reading
tonight
and
second
reading
at
the
subsequent
council
meeting.
C
Yes,
thank
you,
mayor
heath.
I'm
going
to
ask
you
the
question:
how
is
this
going
to
differ
as
far
as
the
layout
goes
lot
sizes?
If
there's
cul-de-sacs
number
of
lots
street
widths,
any
of
those
kind
of
issues
is
there?
Is
this
going
to
be
different
than
what
we've
done
so
far
with
the
code
of
commons.
L
Yet
at
this
point
I
know
that
there
have
been
some
discussions
about,
you
know
sidewalks
and
whether
they
should
be
out
in
the
front
yards
as
most
are
aware
that
that
requirement
was
waived
in
the
pud,
the
past
pud
phases
of
the
subdivision,
where
they
have
sidewalks
meandering
in
the
backyards,
which
is
a
unique
design
component
that
this
particular
developer
likes
to
utilize
and
is
utilized
in
other
communities.
L
E
Yep,
thank
you,
heath,
and
he
touched
on
what
I
was
wanting
to
make
clear
to
you
guys
is
that
they
are
wanting
to
propose
the
same
development
that
they've
been
doing
for
the
past
20
years.
The
main
thing,
though,
is
that
so
they
they
propose
lesser
street
widths
and
no
sidewalks
adjacent
to
the
streets.
They
do
the
recreational
trail
in
the
rear
yards,
which
does
make
dakota
commons
desirable
for
some
people
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
feel
that
it
does
have.
L
Brandy,
if
I
may
interject
another
question,
the
preliminary
plan
that
we
review
is
staffed
we'll
subsequently
go
to
the
planning
commission.
Is
that
correct
for
formal
approval.
E
D
Yep,
right
and-
and
that
is
a
change
from
it
used
to
be-
the
pud
plan
was
approved
before
the
zoning
was
granted
and
that's
been
changed.
So
now
it's
just
the
zoning
they'll
work
out
with
the
between
the
staff
and
the
plant
commission,
the
layout
of
the
streets
and
the
drainage,
and
and
all
of
that
there
are
things
that
have
changed
since
the
other
preliminary
plan
was
approved.
That
need
to
be
revisited
this
time
around.
But
all
of
this
is
just
talking
about
the
the
pud
zoning.
A
With
these
sidewalks
not
being
in
the
front
of
the
properties,
I
was
up
there
earlier
this
summer
and
there
were
probably
six
or
seven
rummage
sales
going
on
and
there
was
a
ton
of
people
up
there.
A
ton
of
cars
parked
there
and
there
were
people
coming
out
from
behind
cars
and
the
only
place
they
had
to
walk
was
down
the
street.
A
B
Comment,
I
guess.
E
B
I
would
just
like
to
piggyback
off
of
jason's
comments,
and
this
is
the
drama
I've
beaten
many
times
in
the
past,
but
we
are
unbelievably
inconsistent
in
how
we
handle
sidewalks,
unbelievably
inconsistent
I'll
make
the
comment
again.
If
you
drive
up
my
neighborhood,
we
have
ada
access
and
no
sidewalks,
and
it
just
looks
funny
if
nothing
else
and
but
we
put
them
in
there,
because
the
federal
money's
dictating
we
have
to
do
that.
So
I
would
just
say,
as
you
guys
are
working
this
project.
B
I
hope
we
can
work
towards
some
consistent
standards
and
what
we
do
with
sidewalks.
I
don't
know
where
we're
if
I'm
going
to
push
a
stroller
down
the
street,
but
that's
the
only
option
I
think
I
have
here
unless
I
go
out
to
a
path
on
the
edge
of
the
property.
But
what
do
you
do
if
you
go
down
between
houses?
D
Thank
you
back
in
the
early
2000s
when
the
preliminary
plan
was
approved,
the
thought
was
that
sidewalks
were
used
for
recreation,
so
we'll
put
them
in
the
back
and
there'll
be
grassy
areas
and
people
can
use
it
for
recreation.
They
weren't
thought
of
as
part
of
our
transportation
network
to
get
from
point
a
to
point
b
for
practical
purposes,
and
if,
if
the
council
disagrees
with
that
thinking,
this
would
be
the
time
to
say
it,
because
you
may
not
get
to
weigh
in
councilman
roby.
B
Quick
follow-up:
this
this
is
a
pud
right,
so
it
has
its
own
set
of
rules
so
to
speak
so
that
it
does
does
allow
for
some.
If
I
could
say
non-conformity,
it
does,
but
I
just
think
I
just
want
to
make
a
general
comment.
We
we
need
to
get
some
consistency
on
this
and
it
comes
back
to
a
fairness
issue.
We've
talked
about
who
gets
assessed,
who
doesn't
get
assessed.
I
just
think
we
gotta
work
towards
some
consistency.
L
If
I
could
to
councilman
roby's
point
you're
exactly
right,
the
pud
is
an
opportunity
for
the
developer
to
be
inconsistent.
If
we
were
to
look
at
it
that
way
that
that's
kind
of
what
the
pud
is
designed
to
do
in
more
ways
than
one,
not
just
the
sidewalk
discussion,
but
street
widths
slot
sizes
lock
configurations
things
of
that
nature.
L
So
you
know
that's
definitely
something
that
if
the
council
were
concerned
about
wanting
to
require
sidewalks
to
be
street
side
through
the
rest
of
the
subdivision,
that
is
something
we'd
want
to
know
whether
it's
tonight
or
you
provide
us
feedback
outside
of
this
meeting
or,
however
appropriate,
because
the
way
the
the
ordinance
is
written
now
it
will
go
back
to
the
planning
commission,
but
not
back
to
the
council,
also
on
the
same
tune.
I
think
that
we've
got
the
sidewalk
regulations
that
we
need
and
have
started
down
a
path
of
consistently
applying
them.
L
We've
been
talking
about
construction
projects
and
things
of
that
nature,
but
for
new
construction
is
pretty
systematic
that
we
require
a
five-foot
sidewalk
detached
with
a
boulevard
and
we're
making
sure
that
the
the
new
subdivisions
are
built
out
in
that
manner.
So
rest
assured,
I
think,
we're
in
the
right
direction
on
in
in
some
measures
as
far
as
sidewalk
management
for
the
city.
H
It
works
really
well
when
you
do
both
seeing
that
they
don't
have
it
out
front.
Yes,
that
is
actually
very
concerning
as
a
public
safety
issue,
but
I
guess
you
look
at
it
in
this
situation.
One
they're
covered
by
what
they
are
with
the
pud
two.
H
I
hope
they
would
just
because
again
that's
a
means
of
walking.
I
don't
think
kids
are
probably
walking
to
school
from
this
neighborhood.
That's
not
an
excuse
for
it.
H
C
You
I
can
give
a
little
quick
history
on
this
development.
C
C
They
did
come
to
us
originally
with
much
narrower
streets
drive
over
curbs.
They
wanted
more
lots
in
the
cul-de-sac,
smaller
diameter
cul-de-sac
roads.
So
there
was
a
like
say.
There
was
a
lot
of
discussion,
a
lot
of
study
on
this,
and
we
did
look
at
brookings
because
the
developer,
I
believe,
is
from
brookings
and
they
have
one
of
those
by
the
golf
course
down
in
brookings,
so
that
we
had
an
opportunity
to
see
how
that
worked
out.
I
believe
we
talked
to
residents,
but
I
do
have
a
concern.
C
You
know
I'm
sure
they're
going
to
try
to
get
back,
probably
to
that
type
of
a
layout
that
they
originally
proposed.
We
held
to
our
guns,
and
it
was
some
months
later
before
these
folks
came
back
and
said
we're
going
to
develop
this,
but
I
do,
I
would
be
concerned
about
sidewalks
with
development
to
the
east.
C
I
don't
know
that
we
can
allow.
You
know
just
say
that
the
greenway
and
the
recreational
trail
that
we've
got
right
now
would
be
applicable
to
those
lots
to
the
east.
I
mean
that's
not
going
to
suffice
for
that,
so
I
do
think
the
way
it
looks
to
me.
This
is
laid
out.
That
probably
is
going
to
be
a
candidate
for
sidewalks.
D
The
next
item
is
f
approval
of
resolution
number
20-34,
the
vacation
of
a
portion
of
public
right-of-way
for
ally,
abutting,
the
east
side
of
the
county,
fair
banquet
hall,
have
a
motion
by
lollum
and
a
second
by
holine
and
there's
no
just
a
clarification.
No
public
hearing
at
all
required
for
a
vacation.
D
So
I
think
we
should
have
one
if
there's
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak,
I
would
certainly
allow
it
and
but
before
we
go
there,
I
will
ask
city
attorney.
Do
you
want
to
tell
us
a
comment
about
that?.
B
I
was
just
going
to
say
you
know.
If
it
was
noticed,
we
could
still
have
the
public
hearing
just
because
of
the
work
done
on
the
agenda.
Yeah.
D
B
D
L
Thank
you
mayor.
The
the
petitioners
are
chris
gamber
of
gt
brothers,
llc
mayor
sarah,
karen
on
behalf
of
the
city
council
and
jandy
berger
of
the
watertown
community
foundation.
Those
are
the
adjacent
land
owners
that
are
necessary
to
sign
a
petition
for
the
vacation
of
a
portion
of
public
right-of-way,
as
is
customary
in
any
case
for
any
right-of-way
vacation.
L
L
So
here
we
are
in
the
downtown
area
for
context
where
we're
at
this
is
2nd
street
northeast
city
hall
is
located
right
here.
You've
got
county
fair
grocery
store
right
here.
Here
is
the
banquet
hall
also
part
of
the
the
county,
fair
property
owners.
L
This
banquet
hall
is
being
proposed
to
be
redeveloped
into
new
infield
development
within
the
downtown
area.
In
order
to
accommodate
that
development
is
what
has
sparked
the
interest
in
this
vacate
of
this
portion
of
the
alley.
This
would
be
the
northerly
northerly
half
of
this
north-south
alley.
That
would
that's
being
requested
to
be
vacated.
L
I
Revisiting
this
once
again,
the
reason
why
we're.
I
State
your
name
for
the
record,
please
sorry,
jesse,
craig
craig
development.
Thank
you,
sorry
about
that.
Looking
at
vacay
in
the
alley
and
then
also
requesting
that
I
have
the
the
city's
10
feet
conveyed
to
me
to
complete
the
project
for
the
concession
area
for
the
gamber
family
on
the
park
side
on
the
east
side
of
the
of
the
project.
I
A
I
Chris
shilkin
water
television
company,
so
as
we're
looking
at
this
site,
I
know
in
past
discussion
talked
about
the
city
potentially
giving
their
their
half,
and
I
know
jesse's
been
working
with
the
telecommunication
folks
and
bert
from
watertown,
mississippi
utilities,
and
it
sounds
like
most
of
those
are
figured
out.
I
I
know
visiting
with
some
there's
been
concern
over
the
park.
However,
I
think
john
was
john.
Here
was
john
via
zoom,
or
was
he
up
here
in
person?
Okay,
so
of
course
the
park
design
is
not
started
yet.
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
know
in
our
conversation
was
john
was
excited
to
work
in
conjunction
with
jesse's
proposed
two
projects,
this
one
and
then
the
other
one
where
the
palace
site
is
at.
L
Man
mayor,
if
I
could
expand
on
a
couple
of
comments,
sure
so
the
vacate
tonight,
what
the
council
would
be
acting
on
is
a
conventional
vacation
of
this
right-of-way.
So
the
westerly
half
the
westerly
10
feet
would
go
back
to
the
westerly
property
owner.
L
The
easterly
10
feet
would
be
retained
by
the
city
because
we're
the
worthy
easterly
adjacent
property
owner
now
the
subsequent
deeding
of
our
10
feet
to
the
developer
is
something
that
would
come
in
a
subsequent
action
outside
of
tonight's
action
and
it's
my
understanding
that
the
developer,
regardless
of
whether
this
10
feet
of
the
cities
gets
deeded
back
to
them,
is
still
under
the
still
wanting
to
proceed
with
the
vacate
request,
regardless
of
that
determination.
D
I
appreciate
knowing
that
up
front
before
they
take
action,
so
in
an
effort
to
be
transparent,
that
that's
your
intention,
but
that's
not
the
action
that
will
be
taken
tonight.
Okay
is
one
last
call.
Anyone
else
want
to
speak
in
the
public
hearing
before
I
close
it
see
no
one.
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
entertain
council
discussion,
councilman
buehler.
K
What
we're
looking
at
proposing
is
vacating
this
alley
here,
if
that
part
goes
into
the
east
of
it,
whether
we
own
that
half
of
it
or
not,
is
probably
irrelevant.
At
that
point,
I
mean
we're
not
going
to
be
able
to
move
snow
through
that
alley.
If,
if
we
vacate
a
portion
of
it
anyway-
and
it
sounds
like
the
adjoining
property
owners
are
both
are
in
favor
and
obviously
we're
the
third
party
in
that,
so
I
mean
it
makes
sense.
I
Just
a
comment
I
know
visiting
with
jesse
as
well
and
other
prospects
here
on
the
park
and
things
and
to
not
hold
up
the
project.
How
soon
shortly
would
we
know
if
the
city
is
willing
to
deed
their
half?
I
know
it's
not
an
agenda
item
tonight,
so
don't
want
to
muddy
the
waters
there,
but
I
know
with
excavation
starting
kind
of
delayed
for
this
to
figure
out
what's
happening.
D
It's
certainly
an
item
that
would
be
eligible
to
be
discussed
in
executive
session
and
we
have
several
executive
session
items
to
tackle.
D
D
Okay,
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
5b,
which
is
the
ratification
of
lgbtq
plus
liaison
appointments
and
I'll
just
start
by
saying
I
put
that
on
the
consent
agenda,
as
I
put
all
liaison
appointments
there
there
they
go
on
the
consent
agenda
normally,
but
I'm
happy
to
discuss
this
outside.
These
are
my
appointments
and
I'm
asking
for
the
council
to
ratify
them.
D
Ensuring
that
all
citizens
are
protected
from
discrimination
is
important
to
the
city
of
watertown,
a
demonstrated
commitment
to
equality
through
laws
and
policies
that
protect
everyone,
including
lgbtq
people,
sends
a
clear
message
that
all
residents,
visitors,
workers
and
businesses
are
welcome
and
valued
inclusive
non-discrimination
policies
will
give
watertown
a
competitive
edge
census.
Data
shows
that
lgbtq
people
live
in
virtually
every
city
in
the
country.
City
of
watertown
seeks
to
provide
inclusive
city
services
and
programs
to
its
citizens.
D
Liaisons
are
being
appointed
to
help
accomplish
that
goal.
The
individuals
to
be
appointed
have
volunteered
to
serve
as
liaison
between
the
lgbtq
plus
community
and
the
mayor's
office,
or
the
police
department,
and
the
liaison
to
the
mayor's
office
is
responsible
for
looking
at
city
policies
and
services
through
an
lgbtq
lens
and
speaking
up
when
a
policy
or
service
might
exclude
lgbtq
people.
D
D
A
D
B
Was
put
on
kind
of
at
the
last
minute,
so
I
I
actually
think
that
we
should
we're
kind
of
hurrying
some
things
through
lately.
B
F
Mayor
and
I
appreciate
you
pulling
that
from
consent,
I
know
that
the
mayor
has
power
to
appoint
someone
as
liaison,
but
to
create
a
position.
A
point
and
put
on
a
consent
seemed
a
little
bit
too
much
all
in
one
fell
swoop.
I
think
that
it
neat,
I
think
it
needed
discussion
among
the
full
council,
and
I
think
that
that
discussion
started
at
the
last
council
meeting
on
a
much
larger
issue
during
the
human
rights
commission.
F
That
conversation
is
still
ongoing
and
since
that
is
a
much
larger
issue
and
the
goals
of
the
human
rights
commission
or
human
relations
commission
or
as
you're
restating
it.
The
goals
of
that
and
the
construction
of
that
are
almost
identical
to
the
creation
of
this
liaison
position,
which
is
to
provide
a
sounding
board
to
make
things
easier.
F
Things
like
that,
so
at
the
very
best,
if
we
go
move
forward
with
the
larger
issue,
this
would
make
this
redundant
or
duplicate
or
it
would
duplicate
efforts,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
we
should
re
resolve
the
larger
issue
of
the
human
rights
commission,
which
we
will
be
doing
in
future
meetings.
I
think
we
should
resolve
that
before
we
move
on
to
issues
like
that.
So
I
make
a
motion
to
table
this.
D
Lallam,
okay,
who
would
like
to
weigh
in
on
this?
I
I'll
just
start
by
saying:
there's.
J
D
Oh
okay,
is
that
what
you're
gonna
say:
matt
yeah
I
was
just
gonna.
H
I
A
G
B
A
B
Mayor,
I
I
believe,
the
intention
behind
the
motion
to
table
unless
the
motion
maker
corrects
this.
But
if
it's
a
motion
to
table
effectively,
it's
on
the
table
indefinitely
until
there's
a
motion
to
pick
it
up
off
the
table.
D
F
I
being
a
little
bit
of
a
rules
nerd,
I
went
back
and
checked
my
robert's
rules
and
I
would
say
that
was
the
intention.
There
is
some
originally
when
robert's
rules
was
written.
There
was
some
open
interpretation,
but
for
the
last
hundred
years
or
so
the
motion
to
table
puts
it
on
the
table
until
a
motion
to
take
it
off
the
table
brings
it
back,
and
so
someone
would
have
to
make
the
motion
to
take
it
off
the
table.
B
You
know
I,
I
don't
think
that
this
is
a
formally
created
position
in
any
way,
and
so
I
don't
know
that.
Well,
I
guess
I'm
not
really
sure
what
the
title
liaison
really
bestows
on
her
or
or
doesn't
so
if,
if
she's
been
doing
whatever
she's
been
doing
unless
there's
something
I'm
not
aware
of
where
the
position
was
formally
created,
I
don't
think
that
what
she's
doing
ceases
in
any
way.
D
Okay,
she's
a
friendly
ear
and
I'm
sure
she
would
continue
to
act
as
a
friendly
ear,
even
if
it
wasn't
ratified-
and
I
hope
the
public
understands
that
she's
willing-
and
I
think
brett
is
too
whether
or
not
he
has
a
formal
appointment
brett.
Do
you
want
to
please
come
to
the
microphone.
B
Well,
technically,
the
mayor,
the
mayor
is
the
chairperson
of
the
meeting,
and
so
this
item
has
effectively
been
tabled
that
that
is
concluded,
but
as
far
as
whether
or
not
the
mayor
would
like
to
give
somebody
the
podium.
That's
certainly
her
call.
M
Thank
you
mayor.
I'm
sorry!
If
some
of
you
felt
blindsided
by
this,
this
was
not
supposed
to
be
some
trick
under
the
books
or
anything
to
council
member
helene's
point
these
liaison
appointments
are
distinctly
different
from
the
human
rights
commission
that
we
are
talking
about,
and
I
would
ask
you
guys
to
defer
to
someone
who
has
lgbtq
to
trust
in
what
I
feel
in
the
community
as
to
why
these
appointments
are
important.
M
If
I
had
someone
come
and
assault
me
based
on
my
lgbtq
identity,
I
would
want
to
know
that
there
is
a
police
officer
in
the
police
department
that
not
only
affirms
my
sexual
orientation,
but
would
help
me
do
that,
and
what
this
appointment
would
do
is
put
her
information
on
the
public
website
for
lgbtq
members
to
come
and
speak
to
them.
It's
the
same
thing
with
the
appointment
of
the
mayor's
office.
M
M
You
all
know
there
are
multiple
facets
of
government
other
than
that
that
relate
to
lgbtq
issues,
and
so
that
would
be
is
for
someone
from
the
lgbtq
community
again
to
know
that
someone
in
city
government
supports
them
and
would
validate
them
and
would
understand
what
they're
talking
about
to
allow
them
to
come
to
someone,
so
that
I
can
relay
that
message
best
to
either
the
city
council
or
the
mayor
or
whoever
would
best
address
that
issue.
M
These
are
harmless
appointments,
and
all
these
do
is
show
someone
that
is
lgbtq
in
this
community
that
the
city
is
going
to
listen
to
them
and
not
just
regarding
the
things
that
we're
about
to
talk
about,
but
in
other
facets
of
the
city
as
well,
and
that's
why
I
would
urge
someone
to
bring
this
back
from
the
table
and
actually
pass
these
liaison
appointments,
because
they
do
have
importance
in
our
community
and
are
significant,
are
not
just
redundant
of
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
next.
F
Thank
you
mayor.
I
would
like
to
register
my
protest
on
that.
A
motion
to
table
ends
debate
specifically
said
in
robert's
rules,
so
to
allow
someone
to
talk
on
emotion
and
debate
it
after
the
motion
was
tabled
is
improper
according
to
the
rules
and
furthermore,
I
will
say
that
that
just
proved
my
point
that
we
have
a
larger
discussion
to
go
forward
with
on
the
human
relations
commission
a
much
larger
discussion
that
will
encompass
this
one.
D
Okay,
thank
you
and
I'll
just
say
for
the
record
that
the
what
we're
about
to
discuss
the
ordinance
the
human
rights
is
not
encompassing
the
liaison.
That's
a
completely
separate
thing:
councilman
hoyer!
I.
H
Just
have
a
quick
question
for
matt:
if
he
doesn't
mind
in
the
future,
if
we
do
table
something-
and
there
is
somebody
in
the
room
who
would
have
something
to
say
about
it,
can
they
bring
up
like
an
old
business
or
announcements
or
just
wait
till
the
next
meeting
for
public
comment
is
that
an
appropriate
venue
to
discuss
that.
B
Right
again,
you
know
the
mayor
regularly
allows
people
to
speak
on
agenda
items.
There's
a
public
comment
period,
there's
old
business,
new
business
that
at
the
end
of
the
day
the
mayor
is
the
chairperson
of
the
meeting
can
allow
people
to
speak
at
her
discretion,
and
so
it
could
have
you
know
it
could
have
potentially
waited
for
old
business.
H
Okay,
I
was
just
curious
with
it
since
we
tabled
it
if
it
plays
a
little
differently.
I
know
some
things.
We've
ended
up
like
a
talk
on
a
subject
before
and
then
we've
allowed
someone
to
speak
at
the
end
kind
of
like
as
a
closing
comment,
kind
of
thing
or
reaction
to
it.
So
I
just
was
looking
for
a
little
clarification
from
city
attorney,
so
thank
you.
D
D
D
It's
the
lgbtq
part
of
it
that
makes
it
controversial,
but
it's
not
just
for
lgbtq
it's
for
any
marginalized
section
of
our
community,
which
feels
that
they
have
had
their
rights
infringed
upon
and
the
the
federal
laws
exist,
and
someone
can
always
sue
someone
else
if
they
feel
aggrieved
by
some
behavior.
That
has
happened
to
them.
If
they
feel
like
in
an
employment
situation,
they
were
passed
over
because
they're
native
american,
they
can
sue
if
they
want
they're
gonna
have
to
hire
a
lawyer
and
they
can
go
to
court.
D
This
doesn't
make
those
powers
any
stronger.
What
it
does
is
it
creates
this
body
of
citizens
who
will
act
as
a
sounding
board
to
hear
the
complaint
from
the
person
and
tell
them
whether
or
not
they
think
it's
a
valid
complaint
and
there's
very
little.
D
That
they
can
do
if
there
is
a
problem
other
than
perhaps
mitigate
it
through
this
process
that
we're
establishing
here,
which
is
a
talking
back
and
forth
between
the
aggrieved
person
and
the
the
person
that
they're
aggrieved
of
the
behavior,
so
that
they
can
possibly
work
it
out
and
not
have
to
go
to
court
and
that's
the
whole
intention
here
and
I
didn't
want
to
rile
people
up.
I
just
want
to
let
our
community
create
this
group
so
that
they
can
hear
fellow
citizens
complaints
and
help
them
work
it
through.
D
D
People
didn't
like
it,
so
I
hope
this
is
more
palatable,
but
I
would
like
to
invite
brett
reese
to
speak
right
away
before
anyone
else.
If,
if
he
wants
to
add
to
this,
he
has
been
helping
me
with
this,
and
I
appreciate
his
help.
He
he
has
a
perspective
and
life
experiences
that
help
him
to
see.
Clearly
what
needs
to
be
done.
M
Thank
you
again,
mayor,
first
of
all,
I'll
be
reaching
out
to
each
of
you
after
this
meeting
and
offering
to
set
up
a
meeting
whether
that
be
15
minutes
long.
However
long
it
takes
to
really.
I
understand
this
as
a
lengthy
policy
and
so
to
go
over
this
and
talk
about
those
issues
with
you
I'll
be
extending
that
offer.
M
But
I
think
this
ordinance
is
best
encompassed
by
section
7.1302,
specifically
number
five,
where
it
says
to
effectuate
this
policy
by
means
of
public
information
and
education,
mediation
and
conciliation
and
enforcement.
That's
really
what
this
ordinance
amendment
does.
First
of
all,
the
committee
that
would
be
created
is
in
charge
of
providing
more
information
education
about
different
members
of
our
community,
promoting
that
community
acceptance
that
we
all
talked
about.
We
want
to
promote
back
in
june
when
I
asked
about
the
flag
policy.
M
This
would
allow
a
group
to
be
in
charge
of
that
which
is
led
by
the
city,
so
that
you
know
we
have
a
more
welcoming
community
and
then
in
cases
where
we
don't
have
that
welcoming
community,
where
you
know,
people
are
discriminated
against
based
on
employment
or
public
accommodations.
M
The
first
step
of
this
ordinance,
which
I
think
works
well
in
a
small
community
like
ours,
we
like
to
handle
things
locally
and
that's
what
this
commission
would
allow
it's
that
mediation
and
that
conciliation
process
they
would
file
a
complaint
and
the
human
rights
commission
would
then
determine
whether
or
not
they
think
there
is
probable
cause
for
this
complaint.
So
any
complaints
that
are
unfounded,
those
probable
cause
hearings
are
confidential.
Nobody
would
be
hearing
about
that
and
all
proceedings
are
confidential.
M
If
the
commission
determines
that
there
is
probable
cause
for
this,
then
they
would
make
a
recommendation.
They
would
go
first
to
that
mediation,
conciliation
process
that
we
talked
about
a
representative
of
the
city,
I'm
guessing
it
would
be.
Our
city
attorney
would
meet
with
the
parties
and
try
to
find
an
agreement
with
them
so
that
no
court
action
is
necessary.
We
don't
have
to
get
caught
up
in
legal
fees.
M
M
None
of
them
had
to
go
to
court
and
parties
were
either
there
was
a
mediation
found
or
they
just
found.
The
complaint
didn't
have
any
enough
substance
to
it
and
then,
if
that
still
doesn't
work,
then
it's
kind
of
where
the
teeth
of
this
resolution
come
into
play
and
that's
enforcement,
which,
if
there's
no
enforcement
mechanism
to
this
commission,
it's
not
as
helpful
to
the
lgbtq
community
and
other
communities
either,
because
we
already
have
a
human
rights
commission
technically
under
the
mayor.
M
M
Then
it
goes
to
a
public
hearing
in
which
members
of
this
commission
would
hear
evidence
and
witness
testimony
to
determine
whether
or
not
there
was
actually
discrimination
and
then,
if
they
find
that
there
wasn't
it's
dismissed,
the
complaint
is
dismissed
and
if
they
find
that
there
is,
then
they
provide
a
recommendation
to
either
the
city
attorney
to
prosecute
under
city
ordinance,
or
they
ask
for
a
cease
and
desist
order.
Through
a
judge
and
at
any
point
the
parties
involved
can
transfer
this
to
an
actual
court
of
jurisdiction.
M
So
there
I
understand
there
might
be
concerns
about
the
the
mechanisms
here.
But
that's
why
this
policy
is
so
long
because
it
puts
in
a
lot
of
protections
to
help
both
the
accused
and
the
accusers.
And
this
is
well
thought
out
and
I
do
think
this
would
be
great
for
for
the
city
of
watertown
and
if
we
meet
again
to
talk
about
the
wording.
I
have
some
small
concerns
there
and
things
that
I
would
change.
But
conceptually.
D
I
would
like
input
on
this
and
feedback
on
specifically
what
it
is
that
upsets
or
bothers
people
specifically,
not
just
like
wipe
the
whole
thing
out,
because
I
think
it's
important
and
we
we
already
have
most
of
this
for
housing.
This
would
expand
it
to
include
housing,
employment
and
public
accommodations,
councilman,
hoyer.
H
If
you
read
through
it,
it's
not
just
lgbtq,
plus
I
mean
it's
all
encompassing.
I
do
think
it
needs.
Some
massaging
for
sure.
Really
big
ordinances
in
any
form
of
law
needs
some
massaging.
This
one
definitely
does,
but
I
do
think
its
purpose
is
important.
I
don't
think
we
should
just
dismiss
it
because
it's
going
to
be
complex,
but
I
would
just
say
that
we'd
be
willing
to
take
the
time
and
do
the
work
on
it
make
sure.
If
we
do
go
down
this
route,
we
do
it
right.
H
It
does
serve
a
purpose
and
it
does
help
the
community
overall,
if
we
so
pursue
it,
I
mean
we
don't
live
in
a
world
free
of
racism.
We
don't
live
in
a
community
free
of
discrimination,
it
does
exist,
but
you
know
not
all
of
us
go
through
it.
So
sometimes
we
think
it's
not
there,
but
yeah.
I
would
just
say,
have
an
open
mind
to
it
and
let's
give
it
a
fair
discussion
when
that
comes
so.
K
Matt,
have
you
reached
out
to
the
attorney
general's
office?
To
just
have
him
do
a
quick
overview
of
it
by
chance.
B
I
I
guess,
that's
not
how
that
process
works,
but
they
you
know
we
could
re.
We
can
request
an
attorney
general's
opinion,
which
is
usually
a
long
longer
process
that
they
don't
just
look
over
stuff
for
municipal
attorneys.
I
wish
that
was
the
case,
but
no,
I
have
not.
K
B
So
I
could,
I
could
speak
to
that.
So
you
know
there's
a
specific
state
statute
that
that
permits
the
adoption
by
municipalities
or
counties
of
human
relations
commissions,
and
you
know
the
actual
you
know
the
protected
classes
that
are
spelled
out
are
consistent
with
the
federal
civil
rights
act.
B
Now
recently,
the
supreme
court
in
june
issued
his
decision.
The
u.s
supreme
court
issued
a
decision
that
essentially
said
that
the
word
sex,
as
it
states
in
the
civil
rights
act,
encompasses
gender
identity
as
well
as
sexual
orientation,
and
so
with
that
ruling
the
state
law
can
be
cannot
be
more
restrictive
than
federal
civil
rights
law.
So
therefore,
our
state
law
automatically
has
become
more
expansive.
J
I
don't
know
if
what
we've
got
here
is
a
good
ordinance
and
it
is
ordinance,
not
a
resolution.
I
don't
know
if
what
we've
got
here
is
good,
bad
or
otherwise.
I
was
the
one
that
threw
this
idea
out
a
couple
of
months
ago
at
the
flag
discussion
concerning
taking
a
look
at
this.
J
I
was
thinking
that
we'd
be
putting
together
a
group
of
people
that
would
look
to
see
what
what
the
issues
are
within
the
community.
What
their
problems
are.
I
wasn't
envisioning
jumping
from
that
to
a
15
or
16
page
ordinance
in
one
fell
swoop,
and
that's
a
concern
that
I've
got
with
this.
D
We
have
the
fair
housing
ordinance
in
place
already,
which
protects
in
the
same
way
and
actually
has
a
committee
established
just
for
housing,
and
so
I
mean
that's
a
pretty
lengthy
ordinance
as
well,
and
I
mean
a
lot
of
this
just
exists
and
you
you
can't
get
rid
of
it.
Some
of
it
just
has
to
be
there,
and
I
mean
I
I
don't
like
having
it
be
big
and
cumbersome
and
difficult
to
understand.
D
I
would
like
it
to
be
as
streamlined
as
possible
and
and
to
that
end,
if
there's
any
confusion
at
all,
I
would
like
to
eliminate
that
and
by
you
know,
honing
down
our
language
in
any
way
that
we
can
so
I'm
fine
vetting
this
out.
There
is
a
committee,
that's
been
established,
they've
met
and
it's
it's
got
four
council
members
on
it
and
the
that
you
want
me
to
remind
you.
J
No,
I
mean,
I
know
who's
on
the
committee.
I
I
guess
my
point
is
we're
making
the
assumption
or
jumping
to
the
assumption
that
we
do
have
a
problem
within
the
community
and
that's
the
part
that
that
I'm
not
ready
to
necessarily
accept.
Maybe
there
is
maybe
there
isn't,
but
that
was
my
point
a
couple
of
months
ago
is
to
to
fight
try
to
figure
out
what
the
issues
are
within
the
community.
D
I
I
think
we
do
have
a
an
issue.
I'd,
let
brett
talk
about
that.
M
At
this
point,
I
probably
would
not
have
made
a
complaint
in
the
city
of
watertown,
just
from
my
perception
of
what
the
community
has
been,
and
so
it's
really
hard
to
study
this
issue
and
find
these
people,
because
that
would
one
require
them
to
come
out
which
a
lot
of
individuals
aren't
ready
to
do
yet,
and
then
second,
you
know
make
that
accusation.
So
it's
it's
a
very
nuanced
issue,
which
is
why
I'm
urging
the
council
to
err
on
the
side
of
protection
as
opposed
to
not
having
protection.
You
know.
M
Councilwoman
manty
mentioned
that
you
know
the
complaint
came
to
her
and
she
had
to
really
scramble
and
dig
deep
to
find
something
how
to
even
deal
with
this.
I
I
would
prefer
that
we
take
a
proactive
approach
and
say
so
that
the
next
time
this
does
happen-
and
you
know
by
promoting
this
ordinance-
you
know
that
maybe
could
inspire
more
people
to
come
forward
with
their
stories.
M
So
we
can
actually
say,
oh
well,
we
actually
do
have
something
in
place
for
you
that
might
encourage
more
people
to
come
out
and
again
make
these
kinds
of
claims
and
make
our
community
better.
I
just
I
don't
see,
pushing
this
off
and
not
doing
anything
as
helping
the
community
really
because
it
is
such
a
hard
issue
to
study
really
or
to
know
about,
because
of
the
implications
that
it
would
have.
J
I
guess
my
only
comment
that
brett
or
in
mayor
and
council
is
that
when
I
made
the
comments
couple
months
ago,
it
wasn't
only
the
sexual
orientation
issue
that
I
was
addressing
at
that
time.
I
also
pointed
out,
you
know
black
lives.
Matters
was
a
was
a
hot
topic
and
still
is
native
americans
in
our
in
our
community
or
in
our
area.
I
mean
it
was
broader
than
just
a
sexual
orientation
issue
that
I
felt
we
should
be
looking
at.
D
A
You
know
what
I
use
essentially
for
those
folks
is
my
ability
to
go
through
windows
and
doors
and
hoops
and
whatever,
by
finding
the
right
place,
the
right
government
agency
or
the
right
law
that
would
help
them
and
help
their
case.
They
don't
necessarily
have
the
ability
to
open
those
doors
or
to
find
that
information
or
go
through
that,
and
so
you
know
I
totally
support
and
I've
said
this
before
making
it
a
good
law,
and
if
that
takes
a
little
massaging,
that's
fine.
A
But
the
mayor
is
right
in
the
sense
that
this
is
just
this
is
making
our
community
much
more
aware.
It's
giving
options
for
people
who
might
be
in
a
marginalized
group,
and
I
can
tell
you
that
just
having
been
a
woman
and
growing
up
in
the
in
the
eras
that
I
did
with
my
career
things
like
that,
I
faced
discrimination
a
lot
of
times
and
I'm
what
people
would
consider
to
be
a
you
know:
middle-class
elderly
white
woman.
A
I
guess,
but
I
I
think
that
I
think
that
that
to
me
says
a
lot
that
the
fact
that
I've
helped
dealt
with
it
here
in
watertown.
I've
experienced
it
all
over
the
country,
not
just
in
watertown.
So
I
just
want
people
to
think
about
that
that
if
it's
certain
things
are
already
happening,
it's
not
a
far
leap
to
say
that
these
other
things
aren't
either,
whether
it
be
housing
or
careers
or
public
access
to
services
any
of
those
kind
of
things.
A
D
M
Yeah,
just
to
echo
my
sentiments
and
maybe
perhaps
provide
a
recent
example,
I'm
sure
you
all
heard
about
the
story
in
webster
and
subsequent
news
coverage
uncovered.
We
now
know
hate
crimes
in
south
dakota
do
not
encompass
sexual
orientation
or
gender
identity,
so
there
aren't
as
many
protections
already
in
state
law
that
some
lawmakers
may
think,
and
so
that's
a
case
where
something
happened
to
an
individual
and
they
weren't
able
to
find
recourse
under
that
statute.
Because
of
it
that's
the
kind
of
thing
I
want
to
prevent.
M
I
don't
want
someone
to
get
hurt
or
be
discriminated
against
and
then
have
to
come
and
find
out
that
there's
nothing
that
would
encompass
or
protect
them
under
that
in
an
easily
accessible
way
in
our
community.
In
a
way
that
isn't
cut,
you
know
having
to
go
through
the
court
system,
which
is
own
difficult
process.
D
Thank
you
all
right.
We're
going
to
move
on
last
item
on
the
regular
agenda
is
review
of
the
continued
necessity
of
resolution
number
20-15
declaring
an
emergency
during
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
we
review
this
at
every
council
meeting.
D
If
there's
an
update
to
be
given,
I
will
say:
we've
been
hanging
in
there
with
our
case
count.
I
think
we're
at
19
right
now
active
cases
in
cottington
county,
which
is
where
we've
been
for
weeks.
How
we
go
down
to
18,
then
we
go
up
to
20
and
we're
hovering
around
there
in
our
region
that
utilizes
our
health
care
facilities,
we
have
39
active
cases,
same
thing:
we've
we've
been
higher,
we've
been
lower,
we're
kind
of
been
hanging
in
there
for
the
last
few
weeks.
J
I've
got
a
question
I
see
the
the
the
local
unified
command
team
has
scheduled
a
meeting
for
next
monday,
anything
in
particular
driving
that
or
just
a
mid-summer
review
of
where
we're
at.
D
Partially
that
it's
partially,
some
of
the
the
medical
places
have
been
inundated
with
phone
calls
and
they're
wondering
if
it's
time
to
reenact
the
the
phone
tree.
J
J
D
D
4Pm
so
I
pre
I'm
planning
to
present
the
budget
the
same
way
that
it
was
presented
last
year
in
a
powerpoint
form
and
I
will
go
through
the
changes
and
the
department
heads
will
either
be
online
or
present.
If
you
have
any
questions
so
any
other
announcements,
all
right,
we
do
have
a
need
to
go
into
executive
session
pursuant
to
sdcl
1-25-2,
to
discuss
and
consult
with
legal
counsel
on
contractual
matters,
as
well
as
confidential.

economic
development
