From YouTube: Public Works, Finance & Safety Meeting 1-21-2020
Description
Watertown, SD Public Works, Finance, & Safety Meeting
A
Good
afternoon
I'd
like
to
call
to
order
the
Public,
Works,
Finance
and
Safety
Committee
meeting
of
January
21st
2020
and
before
we
get
going
on
anything
I
would
like
to
introduce
the
new
assistant
to
the
mayor
and
city
attorney
Christine
Dooley.
If
you
want
to
wave
and
stand
up,
Christine
is
here.
She
came
from
another
business
in
Watertown
and
she's
been
a
resident
of
Watertown
since
1995.
She
has
over
20
years
of
experience,
working
in
behavioral
health
crisis
response
and
other
healthcare
settings
serving
Watertown
and
surrounding
communities,
and
this
is
very
unique.
A
Christine
was
the
co-founder
and
an
active
volunteer
of
the
local
nonprofit
supporting
individuals
and
families
impacted
by
chronic
kidney
disease,
the
Lake
area
kidney
endowment-
and
we
were
very
impressed
by
her
work
on
that
in
her
interview,
and
it's
part
of
the
reason
that
she's
here
chosen
from
a
very
good
selection
of
well-qualified
candidates
and
we're
excited
that
she
has
agreed
to
come
work
here.
So
it's
wet
so.
A
Now
we
have
Chris
Kristin
and
Christine
the
first
floor
city
hall.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
approval
of
the
consent
agenda.
I
have
a
motion
by
Hoyer
and
a
second
by
Bueller
I.
Think
any
discussion.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
as
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion,
carries
item.
C
is
public
input
there?
Anyone
here
who
would
like
to
speak?
A
Seeing
none
we'll
move
on
item
D,
is
approval
of
the
agenda.
We
have
a
motion
by
ville
Hauer
and
a
second
by
Roby
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item
II
as
the
regular
agenda
and
item
one.
Is
the
council
consideration
of
change
order?
A
Number
one
final,
with
donek
Inc
for
the
gents
tat
addition
Street
construction
project
number
1903
for
an
increase
of
thirty
six
thousand
six
hundred
eighteen
dollars,
91
cents
for
a
final
amount
here
somewhere,
bringing
the
total
contract
price
to
$399,
$748
and
sixty
six
cents,
I
have
motion
by
law
and
the
second
by
ho
lien
and
Heath.
Will
you
please
tell
us
about
this?
Absolutely.
B
Thank
you,
mayor.
Apologize
for
the
oversight
on
our
part
will
have
that
new
contract
amount
in
those
titles
here
forth,
but
we
skipped
it
on
these
next
three
items
so
bear
with
us
on
that.
We'll
make
that
correction
here
for
future
items,
but
you
are
correct.
This
is
the
first
and
final
change
order
for
this
project.
This
relates
to
the
gen
stat
addition
Street
reconstruction
project
that
occurred
throughout
the
summer
of
2019,
and
we
are
now
at
a
place
with
this
contract.
B
Finally,
to
close
it
out
and
pay
the
final
application,
it
does
amount
to
an
increase
in
the
change
order
to
the
tune
of
a
little
over
$36,000.
I
can
touch
on
a
couple
of
those
components
individually
that
ran
that
number
up
higher
than
what
was
anticipated.
One
of
them
was
the
base
course
it
was
used
in
the
project
and
the
other
one
was
the
asphalt
concrete,
paving
that
went
down
on
the
project
as
well.
B
The
need
for
the
increase
on
the
base
course
I
was
primarily
driven
by
the
wet
conditions
that
were
encountered
through
this
project,
as
you'll
find
not
only
with
this
project,
but
the
next
two
that
will
touch
on
and
as
everybody's
full.
Well
aware,
our
construction
season
this
last
year
was
very
a
very
wet
one.
B
The
36,000
sounds
like
a
lot,
but
in
relation
to
the
to
the
original
363
thousand
dollar
contract
you're
about
to
edit
ten
percent
overall
change
order,
which
isn't
unheard
of
in
the
construction
industry.
So
the
next
two
projects
will
touch
on
kind
of
trim
the
same
way
as
this
one
does,
but
we'd
be
glad
to
help
answer
any
questions
you
might
have
any.
D
Thought
I
guess
you've
probably
answered
my
question.
I
know:
we've
done
a
lot
of
work
with
tonics
in
the
past
and
have
had
good
results
with
them.
I
I
guess
when
we,
when
you
see
three
of
them
right
in
a
row
over
$100,000
in
public
and
three
but
you're
saying
it
is
it
is
reasonable
or
not
unexpected
and
you're
comfortable
with
what
the
change
order.
B
Yeah
you
know,
I
I
would
also
state
that
we
would
strive
not
to
see
this
amount
of
change
orders
on
naver
projects,
but
it
is
of
the
ordinary
to
see
a
six
to
eight
up
to
10%
increase
in
fluctuations
on
quantities.
The
couple
that
I
listed
that
yes,
particularly
the
base
course
had
to
do
with
our
plans
quantity,
differing
from
actual
field
quantities.
B
As
far
as
the
depth
of
pavement
that
we
removed
from
some
of
the
roads,
and
then
we
had
to
account
for
that
a
new
material
that
the
contractor
hauled
in
in
order
to
end
up
with
a
four-inch
new
asphalt
mat.
So
some
of
those
discrepancies
is
something
that
we're
wrenching
down
on
our
design
end.
This
year,
we've
taken
a
few
more
cores
on
our
projects
ahead
of
time
this
this
winter.
Actually
we
just
got
done
coring
our
streets,
so
that
we
know
with
more
frequency.
B
We
know
exactly
what
we've
got
for
conditions
out
there
today
that
we're
gonna
be
estimating
to
be
removed.
So
we're
put
measures
in
place
to
kind
of
try
to
wrench
this
down
a
little
bit
more
accurate
than
what
it
was
this
last
year,
but
also
these
wet
conditions
really
were
kind
of
an
unknown
factor.
That
kind
of
threw
a
wrench
in
things
as
well,
where
we
did
have
two
over
big
and
excavate
other
excessive
areas
that
we
didn't
plan
on
doing
because
of
the
wet
conditions.

Tell
us
about
this.
One
Thank.
B
B
Unfortunately,
they
were,
there
were
a
number
of
them
that
were
in
need,
I,
believe
we
still
have
a
couple
remaining
that
we'll
put
on
future
projects,
but
we
did
what
we
could
with
the
budget
that
we
had
for
this
area
of
town
and
again
this.
This
change
order
came
in
a
couple
of
primary
numbers.
To
note
again
would
be
the
base
course
again
and
the
I
believe
the
asphalt
ran
a
little
bit
over
on
this
one
as
well,
but
bass
course
was
a
big
one.
We
had
about
an
8%
over
on
on
bass
course.
B
So
again,
relatively
speaking
in
the
original
contract
amount,
not
huge,
but
a
$12,000
total
and
cost
for
bass
course
alone.
So
again,
I
think
a
lot
of
that
is
due
to
the
wet
conditions
that
were
encountered
in
this
subdivision
and
the
additional
work
that
was
needed
to
build
from
a
sound
base
before
we
put
pavement
down
so
glad
to
help
answer
your
questions.
All.
A
Unfortunately,
not
that
we
don't
have
a
good
contractor,
but
it's
nice
to
have
competition
item
number
three
is
council
consideration
of
change
order
number
one
final,
with
donek
Inc
for
the
Park
View
Drive
Street
reconstruction
project
number
1905
for
an
increase
of
twenty
six
thousand
forty
five
dollars,
fifty
five
cents
for
a
total
project,
cost
of
two
hundred
twenty

Ninety
four
cents
I
have
a
motion
in
a
second
by
holing,
all
right,
Heath,
Thank,.
B
So
instead
of
the
removal
averaging,
what
we
thought
to
be
8
inches
of
concrete
ended
up
being
6
inches.
So
there's
a
two
inch
discrepancy
there
again.
These
are
things
that
we're
trying
to
front
with
the
with
the
coring,
the
more
frequent
corn
that
we're
going
to
be
doing
in
the
projects.
Looking
ahead.
That
gives
us
a
better
idea
on
estimating
our
quantities
trying
to
tighten
this
up
a
little
bit
so
that
we
can
avoid
some
of
these
errors.
B
I
think
we've
kind
of
been
taking
our
quantities,
calculating
the
the
volumes
and
the
areas
and
just
kind
of
locking
in
those
numbers
without
giving
any
leeway
or
flexibility
to
them
and
a
lot
of
times
you'll
see
either
in
the
in
the
cost
estimates
or
in
the
quantities
some
kind
of
a
fudge
factor,
if
you
will
so
you've,
got
some
cushion
there
for
overruns
like
this.
So
that's
something
we
need
to
look
at
and
figure
out
the
best
way
to
account
for
that
and
our
bids
going
forward.
B
I've
seen
other
communities
implement
force
accounts
and
have
contingency
funds
set
aside
and
the
use
of
force
accounts
that
way
not
necessarily
proposing.
We
do
anything
that
extensive,
but
I
just
think
we
need.
We
can
be
doing
a
little
bit
tighter
job
on
the
estimates,
but
then
also
how
to
account
for
these
overruns
by
giving
us
some
contingency
in
the
bids.
Upfront.
F
F
B
A
G
G
Sometimes
you
get
a
little
suspect,
especially
there's
a
pattern
with
some
of
these
folks
in
the
bed
and
then
all
of
a
sudden
we've
got
these
cost
overruns
that
come
on
these
projects
and
I
can
just
say
from
my
experience,
I
haven't
seen
where
we've
had
any
big
issues
with
anybody
ever
and
of
course,
in
this
case,
we
didn't
have
a
lot
of
options
either,
but
it
is
something
to
consider
you
know
moving
forward.
If
you
see
these
kind
of
patterns
come
about
Thanks.

motion
carries
item
number
four:
is
council
consideration
of
a
professional

agreement
for
services
related
to
monthly
updates,
support
and
technical
assistance
for
the
geographic
information
system,
GIS
with
first
district
in
the
amount
of
$20,000
and
I
believe
this
is
the
same
as
last
year
and
what
he
tell
us
about
this,
oh
I,
need
a.
Let
me
get
a
motion,
a
motion
by
column
and
I.
Second,
my
hole
lean.
Okay,
thank.
B
You
so
this
is
our
annual
agreement
with
first
districts,
one
of
several
that
we
actually
execute
with
first
district.
This
one
is
specific
to
the
assistance
they
give
us
in
the
planning
and
zoning
and
building
services
and
GIS
realms
of
the
city.
Functionality
has
a
lot
to
do
with
our
mapping
and
data
needs
and
helping
prep
for
Planning,
Commission
and
City
Council
meetings
and
providing
data
in
relation
to
applications
that
we've
received
in
relations
to
Platts
and
ownership.
Parcels
and
preliminary
plans
being
mapped
on
our
GIS
maps.
B
Also
to
note
on
here
that
the
city's
Public,
Works
and
IT
departments
have
been
recently
working
with
first
District
very
closely
Ryan
as
our
contact
over
there
in
relation
to
the
GIS
services
that
they
provide
us
and
we're
also
looking
at
updating
and
expanding
and
upgrading
our
ESRI
GIS
software
applications.
They've
been
great
to
work
with.
These
updates
will
increase
the
uses
of
our
GIS
database,
not
only
for
engineering
but
citywide.
B
It
puts
a
lot
of
helpful,
valuable
information
right
at
city,
staff's
fingertips
and
even
the
general
public's
fingertips
and
we're
continually
expanding
on
the
layers
that
we
use
in
GIS
and
the
information
that
we
summarized
in
our
database
and
how
its
presented
on
these
maps
and
anyway,
I
just
want
to
express
that
too,
that
that's
a
component
that
they've
been
helping
with
the
song
under
the
realm
of
this
contract
and
the
services
they
provide
within
this
contract.
We're
glad
to
help
answer
any
questions.
Anybody
has.
This
is
the
same
amount
that
we
paid
in
2019.

is
council
consideration
of
a
professional
services
agreement
for
services
related
to
the
development
and
hosting
of
the
city
county
geographic
information
system,
GIS
website,
with
first
district
in
the
amount
of
4,500
dollars,
I
have
a
motion
by
Colleen
and
a
second
male
all
right,
Heath
Thank.
B
You
mayor,
this
is
closely
related
to
the
last
item,
but
it
is
completely
separate
in
the
that
this
relates
to
the
web,
hosting
that
first
district
does
I
think.
Maybe
several
you,
council,
members
and
I
don't
want
several
members
of
the
public
use
the
online.
The
first
District
online
mapping,
functionality
that
they
provide
I
know
Adam
frequents
it
with
with
some
of
the
work
he's
done
and
that's
what
this
contract
is
essentially
for.
B
It's
our
share
our
cost
share
and
those
services
being
provided
to
not
only
us
but
the
county,
Watertown
municipal
utilities
and
the
Watertown
Development
Company
and
all
those
agencies,
as
you
can
see,
in
the
request
for
counsel
action,
do
split
those
costs
we
pay
the
Bronto
bomb
at
$4,500,
Coddington
County
shares
3100
Nestle
utilities
is
1,500,
and
water
telling
development
company
pays
its
900
dollars
towards
these
annual
expenses.
This
mapping
is
a
little
bit
different
than
the
ESRI
GIS
mapping
that
we
use
internally.
It
is
web-based
it
looks.
B
A
Right
Thank,
You,
Heath,
I
I
would
like
to
add.
This
is
a
tremendous
public
service
that
we
help
to
provide.
Anybody
can
use
this
our
GIS
on
the
previous
one,
that's
ours
only
and
its
in-house.
This
is
a
anybody,
can
get
it
on
their
smartphone
and
it's
a
GIS
system
free
to
the
public
and
if
anyone
needs
help
using
that
I'm
sure
first
district
would
explain
it,
but
I
use
it
everywhere
when
I'm
out
and
about
on
my
phone,
its
geographic
information
right
at
our
fingertips.
G
It
is
it's
great
for
planning.
If
there's
it's
incredible,
you
know
it's
been
off
for
quite
a
while.
It's
been
around
for
many
many
years
now,
but
it's
a
great
tool
how
you
can
layer
in
all
the
different.
You
know
the
school
districts
and
you
know
the
substrata
and
the
ground
and
I
mean
you
can
go
from
the
underground
up
with
this
stuff
and
it's
it's
pretty
amazing,
powerful
tool,
and
it
would
be
nice,
maybe
for
everyone
to
be
familiarized
with
what
the
features
are
for
that
right.
A
I
think
that's
a
great
idea.
This
is
Google
Maps,
which
everybody's
familiar
with
you
can
use
on
your
phone
with
data.
So
there's
you
can
figure
out.
You
know
who
owns
the
property
and
information
about
the
streets
and
the
sewers
and
the
flood
plain.
It's
all
your
fingertips,
so
I
think
that's
a
good
idea.
Bruce
anything
else,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
E
D
I'm
under
recuse
I,
just
like
to
put
a
plug
in
for
first
District
in
general,
we
are
so
lucky.
First
district
encompasses
the
big
area
geographically
in
the
eastern
part
of
the
state,
but
we
are
so
fortunate
to
have
them
headquartered
right
here
in
Watertown
that
I
hope
we
don't
take
advantage
of
them,
but
I
think
we
do
at
times,
but
they're
more
than
willing
to
to
help
us
out
ever.
We
can
so
very
good
service
that
we
get
from
them.
A
Right
we
do,
we
use
them
a
lot.
We
rely
on
them
heavily
all
right.
The
next
item
is
the
council
approval
of
the
community
rating
system,
CRS
annual
recertification
report
and
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign.
The
Associated
recertification
documents
have
a
motion,
my
hole
een
and
a
second
by
Albertson
and
the
last
Keith
to
introduce
this.
Please
Thank.
B
This
is
related
to
the
National
Flood
Insurance
Program
and
the
reduction
or
discounts
that
they
offer
on
flood
insurance
premiums
for
communities
that
participate
in
the
community
rating
system
and
with
that
ma'am
involvement
in
that
program
includes
our
responsibility
on
an
annual
basis
to
provide
an
annual
report
on
the
findings
of
how
we're
managing
our
floodplain
development
and
structures
and
how
they're
being
built
and
the
requirements
that
we
administer
upon
them.
So
with
that
I'd
pass
this
on
to
brandy
and
she's
I
believe
got
a
few
quick
slides
to
run
through.
H
Yes,
thank
you
Heath,
and
so
for
some
of
you
that
weren't
here
last
year,
I
did
give
this
presentation,
but
it
is
kind
of
nice.
It
gives
a
background
and
because
too
it
breaks
down
female
likes
to
use
a
lot
of
acronyms,
so
those
kind
of
get
broken
down,
because
you
guys,
if
you
didn't
read
that
it
was
community
rating
system,
you
might
question
what
CRS
is
so.
H
Basically,
you
start
out
here
with
just
the
breakdown
that
we're
involved
to
see
with
the
CRS
program,
and
then
that
is
through
the
ISO
and
the
NFIP.
The
ISO
is
the
Insurance
Services
office
and
then,
though,
they
are
the
ones
that
manage
FEMA's
CRS
contracts
and
then
the
NFIP
is
the
National
Flood
Insurance
Program,
which
we
participate
in
and
they're
up
on
the
slide,
you'll
see
what
their
purpose
is
and
then
FEMA
in
general
is
the
the
the
overarching
agency
and
that's
the
federal
emergency
management
agency
that
oversees
the
NFIP
and
the
CRS
program.
H
And
so
then,
what
like
Heath
had
said?
We've
been
in
the
program
since
May
1st
of
2017.
So
then
this
with
the
ANA
annual
recertification.
This
is
just
part
of
it
that
we
we
have
to
do
this
to
certify
that
we
are
upholding
the
activities
that
we're
getting
credit
for.
And
if
you
look
in
your
in
your
Paquette,
that's
where
we
have
all
of
the
credited
activities
that
we
are
doing.
That's
what
I
initial
and
then
certify
that
we
are
still
doing
that.
H
We
compile
all
that
information
as
well
as
many
other
activities
and
then
send
that
back
to
our
coordinator
and
also
to
reiterate,
we
are
a
Class
eight,
which
means
that
we
qualify
for
a
ten
percent
discount
in
the
premium
of
flood
insurance
policies,
and
so
it
also
gives
incentive
that
we'll
want
to
continue
to
implement
activities
that
we
can
gain
our
radar.
You
know
up
our
rating
and
get
more
of
a
discount,
so
the
community
responsibilities
for
participating
in
this
program
are
listed
here.
H
Our
progress
report
is
based
on
our
Cottington
county
pre-disaster
mitigation
plan
and
that
was
adopted
on
February,
2nd
of
2018,
and
that
is
good
for
until
2021,
and
so
basically
we
just
go
through
that
list
of
activity.
Or
what
do
we
call
it?
Just
actions
that
we
want
to
take
in
this
time
period
to
mitigate
anything
that
would
be
impacted
by
flooding,
and
so
some
of
our
action
items
that
we've
that
we've
implemented
or
had
progress
on
throughout
the
past
year
are
as
follows.
D
A
H
And
so
I
include
that
Venice
so
that
we
we
do
send
a
letter
each
year
committing
or
saying
that
we
are
committed
to
the
feasibility
analysis
and
I
can't
remember
what
that
percentage
is
that
we
would
fund.
But
so
we
would
go
forward
with
the
feasibility
analysis
if
we
would
get
funding
for
that,
and
that
would
be
before
anything
would
be
designed
or
anything.
So
then
that
would
come
after
that,
but
and
then
yeah
just
the
the
benefits
of
being
in
this
era.
Crs
participation.
H
A
Like
to
add
that
most
of
the
work
that
we
do
is
required
by
federal
law
that
we
do
it
and
the
CRS
program
acknowledges
that
we're
doing
the
work
and
actually
documenting
it
and
keeping
records
at
our
fingertips,
which
is
a
good
idea.
You
don't
have
to
keep
really
great
records,
but
if
you
want
to
be
in
CRS,
you
do
so
that
helps
us
to
councilman
Villar.
We.
D
H
Know,
I
haven't
I,
haven't
looked
into
old,
not
too
much.
I
have
a
little
bit,
but
there
are
just
there's
activities
that
they
have
that
you
can
apply
for
and
the
mayor,
may
you
probably
would
know
more
means
that
she's,
the
one
that
got
us
into
the
initial
program
and
then
went
back
with
what
we
were
doing
but
I'm
I'm
sure
there
are
low-hanging
fruit
that
we
could
implement.
I
try.
A
To
grab
up
as
much
low-hanging
fruit
as
possible,
but
there
are
other
things
that
we
could
do
that
wouldn't
cost
much
it
just
is
a
matter
of
focusing
on
getting
credit
for
what
we're
doing
so.
Some
of
the
things
are
very
easy,
like
acquire
books
and
put
them
in
your
library.
I
mean
that's.
How
hard
is
that?
It's
not
very
hard
and
documentation
was
a
big
deal.
We
were
doing
a
pretty
good
job
of
documentation.
A
A
So,
yes,
we
could
probably,
with
a
little
bit
of
work,
get
to
a
7
getting
beyond
that.
I
think
we're
gonna
have
to
add
staff
and
I.
Don't
think
we're
to
that
point,
but
probably
the
the
hardest
thing
for
us
to
do
is
to
have
a
person
like
brandy,
who's
on
the
staff
trained
and
up
on
it
and
keeping
track
of
everything
and
as
long
as
you've
gotten
to
that
point,
and
you
can
keep
that
momentum
going.
A
G
I
I
Excuse
me
so,
last
year,
as
you'll
recall,
we
entered
into
a
new
three-year
agreement
with
all
three
of
our
unions
in
the
city,
the
fire
and
police
and
the
association
of
federal
state
County.
Municipal
Employees
asked
me
with
the
fire
and
police
department.
We
had
what
was
called
a
wage
reopen
in
anticipation
of
the
wage,
the
compensation
and
classification
study
that
we
just
recently
completed.
I
We
agreed
to
reopen
discussions
on
these
contracts
once
the
completion
of
that
study
was
finalized,
and
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
is
the
basically
the
implementation
in
the
bargain
for
agreement
as
a
resulted
from
those
conversations
with
the
Union.
So
there's
a
quick
rundown
of
what
the
document
in
front
of
you
states
there's
a
few
things
that
are
that
are
in
the
document
they're
just
language
cleanups.
I
The
in
addition
to
that
the
implementation
would
result
from
that
is
each
individual
in
the
union
would
be
placed
on
the
the
new
wage
matrix
at
the
step
closest
to
the
salary
they
currently
make
without
taking
a
decrease.
The
additional
piece
to
that
is
anybody
that
was
placed
on
the
scale
and
the
resulting
wage
increase
was
less
than
2%
they
all
received.
They
all
will
receive
a
one-time
lump
sum
payment
in
2020
that
will
give
them
the
equivalent
of
a
2%
increase,
year-over-year
19
to
20
in.
I
C
Just
for
clarity,
they're
going
so
they're
adopting
the
wage
matrix
but
they're
just
jumping
in
as
close
to
their
current
wage
as
possible,
correct
I'm,
just
making
sure
I
understood
that
right,
okay,
I
guess
one
other
random
question.
I
know
it
doesn't
relate
to
directly
to
that
when
they're,
looking
at
their
compensatory
time
earned
when
they're
talking
about
traveling
for
extra
education
stuff,
did
we
learn
anything
about?
Do
they
get
a
per
diem
or
anything
when
they
do
that
or
they
just
pick
up
that
time
and
a
half
to
help
cover
those
expenses.
C
C
I
One
piece
of
clarification
as
well
as,
if
that
your
current
wage
is
below
the
scale
entirely,
then
you
come
up
to
that
step,
one
on
the
scale
so
for
some
of
the
newer
employees.
A
lot
of
the
effect
in
this
particular
bargaining
unit
is
for
the
newer
employees.
Their
starting
wage
will
substantially
increase,
which.
C
A
I
You
mayor
by
and
large,
very
similar
implementation
in
general,
so
with
the
police
department,
they
had
agreed
to
implement
the
new
wage
matrix
and
the
each
employee
and
the
Union
will
come
in
on
the
new
wage
matrix
at
the
the
grade
and
step
closest
to
their
current
wage
without
taking
a
decrease.
Similarly,
we
will
also
compensate
anybody
that
did
not
get
at
least
a
2%
increase
with
a
one-time
lump-sum
payment
in
2020.
I
So
essentially
anybody
in
the
police
union
that's
hired
after
January
1st
of
2020
1.20
that
will
not
receive
longevity
pay
with
their
during
their
10
years,
a
city
employee.
Now
the
kind
of
the
theory
behind
that
is
that,
with
a
new
adjustment
in
wages
for
starting
employees,
they
should
be
fairly
compensated
right
out
of
the
gate
and
don't
need
that
additional
piece
of
longevity
pay.
I
Additionally,
with
the
police
department,
we
agreed
to
increase
their
assignment
pay
in
the
year
2021
to
$65
per
month
for
police
training
officers,
90
dollars
per
month
for
school
resource
officers
and
15.
A
hundred
and
fifteen
dollars
per
month
for
detectives
along
those
lines
of
assignment
pay.
I
would
note
that
the
new,
the
new
matrix
actually
does
away
with
two
assignment
pays
in
the
police
union.
It
created
the
new
matrix
created
a
corporal
position
in
the
police
department,
or
previously
that
there'd
been
corporals,
but
they'd
have
been
paid
and
on
an
assignment
basis.
A
F
A
D
B
Merit
councilman
ville
our
we
did
just
recently
complete
digging
into
the
archives.
We
had
some
internal
assignments
from
the
the
gravel
roads
committee
that
had
worked
with
staff
on
trying
to
find
some
additional
information.
It
kind
of
stemmed
back
to
the
minutes
from
the
urban
renewal
district
board.
It
was
back
in
2012-2013
era
and
more
or
less
tried
to
find
any
written
memorialization
of
what
the
original
intent
was
in
the
downtown
alley
paving
initiative.
B
Unfortunately,
we
were
not
able
to
find
any
specifics
in
any
minutes.
I
think
Laurie
for
time,
she's
helped
quite
a
bit
in
doing
that.
Research.
Long
story
short
I
need
to
bring
those
findings
back
to
that
committee
and
get
a
meeting
set
up
for
us
to
pick
up
the
ball
and
continue
to
carry
it
and
whichever
direction
the
council
sees
fit
from
here,.
A
Any
other
old
business
is
there
any
new
business,
new
minion
new
business.
So
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
executive
session
pursuant
to
SDC
l1
25
2,
and
we
will
need
to
go
into
executive
session
to
discuss
personnel,
contractual
and
economic
development
matters,
and
we
do
not
expect
to
take
any
action
when
we
come
out
so
promotion
of
emotions
by
Roby
and
a
second
hélène,
any
discussion.
All
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
as
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay
motion,
carries.
