Description
Public Works, Finance & Safety Committee Meeting - 11-02-2020
A
C
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Next
is
the
public
input
time,
and
this
is
the
time
for
anyone
to
say
whatever
they
would
like.
If
anyone
is
here
to
speak
online
or
in
person,
please
signify
by
saying
permission
to
speak.
A
Hearing,
no
one
will
move
on
to
approval
of
the
agenda
and
before
we
do
that
sorry
I
was
too
slow.
I
would
need
to
remove
item
c,
which
is
on
the
city
council
agenda,
so
rather
than
repeat
that
we'll
just
leave
it
off
here.
So
is
there
a
motion
to
approve,
as
amended,
motion
by
vilhauer
second
by
helene,
any
discussion
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
and
those
opposed
signify
by
saying
hey
roll
call
vote
please
kristin.
C
D
B
A
Carry
thank
you
item
a
is
approval
of
a
professional
services
agreement,
amendment
for
the
design
and
bidding
services
associated
with
the
10th
avenue
north
reconstruction
project
number
2007,
with
civil
design
inc
in
the
amount
of
twenty
five
thousand
seven
hundred
dollars.
Bringing
the
revised
contract
amount
to
one
hundred
four
thousand
four
hundred
forty
dollars.
A
G
G
G
I'll
summarize
those
those
cost
increase
here,
real
quickly
for
the
council
for
the
public
works
committee's
knowledge,
one
of
them
includes
the
street,
with
modifications
staff
had
directed
the
consultant
to
move
forward
with
a
45-foot
street
design,
which
is
what
they
surveyed
and
initially
put
together.
We
feel
that
was
appropriate
direction
to
give
them
based
on
the
existing
street
section
that's
out
on
10th
avenue
west
of
the
hospital
outside
of
the
boundary
of
where
we'll
be
reconstructing.
G
However,
after
commencing
with
public
open
house
discussions,
as
we
all
know
that
that
width
became
a
concern
for
the
residents
along
this
route
and
through
discussions,
we
ended
up
revising
that
design
down
to
a
38
foot
wide
street
section.
So
there
are
costs
incurred
by
the
consultant
to
redesign
that
45
width
street
section
to
a
38
and
then
the
other
major
components
that
this
change
order
also
covers
are
some
unforeseen
changes
in
costs
that
include
some
storm
sewer
design.
Through
the
scoping
and
preliminary
design
phase.
G
G
Oh
yes,
also,
additional
sanitary
sewer
improvements
and
the
design
of
those
that
were
also
brought
up
through
the
scoping
and
preliminary
design
phase.
Where
we
realized
it
would
be,
it
would
behoove
the
city
to
extend
a
couple
of
our
sewer
mains
and
modify
and
improve
some
of
the
sewer
service
connections
to
some
of
these
residents
before
we
build
back
the
street
surfacing
on
10th
avenue,
so
those
components-
the
redesigned
from
45
to
38
feet
some
additional
time
for
some.
G
This
also
includes
up
to
one
additional
public
open
house
meeting
for
the
consultant
to
attend,
if
necessary,
some
additional
landowner
meetings
for
easement
negotiations,
which
we've
determined
were
necessary
based
on
preliminary
designs
and
work
limits
and
then
also
the
storm
sewer
and
sanitary
sewer.
I
believe
the
consultant
jason
peterson
is
online
here
with
us
from
cdi
tonight.
If
you
have
any
specific
questions
that
I
can't
help
answering,
I'm
sure
he'd
be
glad
to.
D
Maybe
it's
a
base
of
maybe
it's
the
date
of
the
letter,
but
I'm
kind
of
confused
the
I'm
reading
the
sentence.
The
following
summarize
the
additional
time
that
we
anticipate
we'll
be
required
to
complete
the
redesign
to
meet
the
affected
and
to
me
with
the
effect
landers
I
mean
that's
a
in
a
sense,
in
effect,
already
been
done.
Correct.
G
Yeah,
so
some
of
the
costs
that
are
laid
out
in
here
are
costs
that
they've
already
incurred,
because
they
already
did
that
work,
you're,
absolutely
right,
councilman
bill
howard
and
then
there
are
some
additional
landowner
meetings
with
those
easement
negotiations
that
we
will
have
to
have
and
that
we're
relying
on
our
consultant
to
help
us.
G
A
A
F
G
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
This
is
one
of
our
active
subdivisions
that
recently
completed
the
installation
of
public
improvements
per
their
development
agreements
that
were
executed
some
time
back.
This
relates
to
26th
street
north
of
travs
along
highway
212.
There
I'll
pull
up
a
map
and
share
my
screen
here
for.
G
Reference,
so
the
area
in
red
is,
is
essentially
what's
being
issued
a
certificate
of
completion,
and
if
the
the
public
works
committee
would
recall,
this
is
the
first
step
in
the
project
closeout.
What
this
does
is
initiates
the
one-year
warranty
on
these
public
improvements
that
were
installed
in
this
area.
G
The
public
improvements
for
this
particular
project
in
this
particular
area
include,
of
course,
the
street
curb
and
gutter,
and
then
also
some
storm
sewer
improvements
and
some
sanitary
and
sewer
improvements,
all
of
which
have
been
inspected
by
engineering.
Our
public
works
staff
to
be
complete
and
upon
approval.
We
will
start
the
clock
for
the
one-year
warranty
period
and
be
back
in
one
year
for
a
resolution
of
acceptance.
G
G
G
Make
sure
that
all
the
the
pertinence
is
to
the
water
and
wastewater
system,
like
the
valves
and
manholes
haven't,
had
any
differential
settlement
with
the
road
and
cause
issues
with
the
plows
really
a
whole
realm
of
things
that
we
look
at
just
to
make
sure
that
the
street
is
still
in
good
condition
and
all
the
other
public
improvements
are
in
good,
operable
condition.
G
We
we
do
have
some
latitude
in
that
inspection,
that
you
know,
there's
a
difference
between
a
hairline
crack
and
concrete
versus
a
crack.
That's
gapped
and
faulted.
G
Now,
if
any
of
those
components
were
to
fail,
we
still
bring
forth
the
resolution
of
acceptance
for
everything
that
passes
and
the
developer
is
required
to
repair
what
failed
and
then,
according
to
our
current
ordinance,
they're
then
required
to
give
us
an
additional
one-year
warranty
on
those
warranty
corrected
items
and
that's
how
that
would.
We
would
proceed
with
from
there.
A
All
right
we're
the
sidewalk
corners
of
the
ramps,
part
of
the
development
agreement.
G
B
Yes,
I
actually
did
not
get
a
chance
to
check
that
development
agreement
for
the
lamps.
I
can
do
that
and
get
back
to
you,
though,.
A
B
A
A
G
G
Have
another
sidewalk
issue
like
we've,
been
facing
recently
at
council
meetings,
yeah
so
to
the
mayor's
point
to
your
point:
councilman
helene.
If,
if
the
development
agreement
allows
the
developer
to
pass
the
sidewalk
responsibility
onto
the
lot
purchasers
and
the
builders
which
is
a
common
reality,
that
we
see
in
a
lot
of
our
subdivisions
as
far
as
residential
subdivisions
are
concerned,.
A
G
April
20..
Well,
I
do
apologize
not
having
this
on
the
list
if
it
is
part
of
that
development
agreement,
that's
something
that
marcy
and
I
and
justin
just
spoke
about
here
in
the
last
couple
weeks,
as
as
we've
been
transforming
into
these
processes
and
making
sure
his
developments
are
closed
out
properly.
That
was
one
point
that
we
just
talked
about
not
just
having
the
construction
plans
out
in
the
field
for
inspection,
but
also
the
development
agreement,
because
for
some
reason
or
another,
sometimes
they
don't
match
uniformly
between
the
two
documents.
G
B
You
mayor,
I
would
be
very
interested
in
pursuing
that
course
of
action,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
us
up
on
the
council.
I
think
almost
all
of
us
don't
want
to
push
problems
down
to
future
meetings
or
future
councils,
and
it
seems
to
me
that
that
is
what
we
might
be
doing.
If
we
don't
address
this
right
now,.
D
G
G
A
C
I
think
I
heard
somebody
say
it
in
there,
but
I
mean
I
mean
I
would
suggest
perhaps
a
postponement
action
rather
than
a
rejection,
but
that's
up
to
the
council,
of
course,.
B
F
F
I
know,
but
to
get
some
to
get
a
understanding
from
the
developers
on
that.
C
Yeah,
so
the
correct
action
would
be
either
to
postpone
it
to
a
date
certain
if
there
was
any
sort
of
idea
that
we'd
have
a
date
certain
or
to
just
reject
it.
B
I
just
feel
like
no
matter
what,
if
we
postpone
it
we're
playing
a
guessing
game
of
when
these
would
go
in.
I
think
it
just
makes
more
sense
to
just
outright
say,
nay
to
it
for
now,
and
then
it's
not
saying
we
won't
ever
accept
it.
Just
we
got
to
make
some
corrections
and
then
we'll
come
back.
Postponing
just
seems
like
a
guess
and
we're
just
gonna
see
it
again.
A
D
B
A
G
G
One
of
the
efforts
reasons
why
sharing
that
information
with
wmu
is
that
they
are
one
of
our
many
sources
of
funding
for
the
upper
big
sioux
watershed
project
and
roger
was
updating
them
on
projects
and
where,
where
their
money
goes
and
the
efforts
that
their
money
helps
us
accomplish,
so
roger
did
such
a
great
job.
We
thought
we'd
invite
him
to
the
public
works
committee
and
present
here
as
well,
so
without
any
further
ado
roger,
if
you
could
take
it
over
and
give
the
presentation.
E
B
E
E
So
this
is
the
area
that
we
try
to
do
clean
water
practices,
anything
that
we
can
think
of
to
slow
the
water
down
to
drop
out
sediments
to
use
up
nutrients
within
the
watershed
boundary
area,
anything
that
we
can
come
up
with
and
that
we
can
cost
share
producers
into
voluntarily
participating
into
doing
these.
These
programs,
one
thing
with
the
utility
department.
E
E
I
don't
know
the
exact
number,
but
I
think
in
the
neighborhood
of
seven
million
gallons
a
day
of
water
for
to
for
those
city
of
watertown.
That's
the.
I
think,
that's
around
their
maximum
capacity,
not
100
sure,
but
that's
a
lot
of
water
that
comes
out
of
a
puddle.
That's
only
36
feet,
deep
of
course,
the
the
sands
and
gravels
of
the
watershed
area,
everything
flows
down
through
the
system.
E
E
And
go
to
this
one.
This
is
kind
of
what
we're
looking
at
for
19
and
20
have
not
been
good
years
for
us
and
I
don't
think
they've
been
good
years
for
anybody
else
as
well.
We've
been
dealing
with
flood
issues,
construction
nearly
impossible
in
farm
fields,
producers
they're
just
not
interested
until
the
markets
stabilize
and
oh
and
the
fields
are
just
muddy.
E
So
we've
been
pretty
much
focusing
on
water
damage
and
mitigation
efforts
over
the
last
couple
years,
but
there
again.
This
is
why
our
segments
are
in
three
year
periods.
You
never
get
or
seldom
get.
You
know
two
years
in
a
row
where
it's
adequate
for
construction
in
the
fields
and
the
the
things
that
we
want
to
do
so
the
last
couple
years.
We
have
not
accomplished
much
dollar-wise,
but
we
have
been
yeah.
We
have
been
coming
up
with
you
know.
The
proposed
projects
are
starting
to
stack
up
proposed
projects
for
2021.
E
As
you
can
see,
the
cost
share
those
funds
come
from
the
epa
and
the
city
and
the
utilities
the
ownership
every
owner
has
to
kick
in
at
least
25
of
each
project
and
then,
of
course,
there's
a
total
cost.
E
So
if
everything
goes
according
to
plan,
which
we
are
desperately
hoping
that
they
will,
we
will
be
able
to
spend
upwards
of
three
hundred
thousand
dollars
next
year.
In
all
of
these,
these
projects
that
we
have
lined
up
granted
things
don't
always
go
as
planned.
It
may
take
a
little
longer
to
do
this,
but
these
are
the
projects
in
the
watershed
area
that
that
we
are
shooting
for,
let's
see,
to
give
a
little
more
perspective,
these
are
all
the
sediment
traps
that
we
have
done
in
in
the
past.
E
E
There's
a
lot
of
maintenance
after
a
flood
year.
To
these
specific
dugouts,
they
they
do
tend
to
fill
up
quickly
in
a
flood
year
like
last
year
was
and
they'll,
hopefully
need
to
be
cleaned
out
again
to
catch
all
that
sediment.
E
E
And
I
want
to
start
out
with
a
small
dam
complex,
that's
on
the
books
currently
in
the
the
design
phase,
we've
hired
an
engineer
to
take
a
look
at
this.
E
E
E
E
Even
an
ag
waste
system
further
up
anything
that
escapes
those
systems
comes
down
through
here
and
there's
these
little
check
dams
to
help
slow.
The
water
down,
enhances
the
wetlands
upstream
of
them
the
nutrients
slow
down
in
those
locations
and
it's
utilized
and
anything
that
makes
it
past.
There
comes
further
down
the
system
into
this
small
dam
area
where
we
have
a
permanent
pool,
and
yet
it
allows
flood
waters
to
pass
through,
which
also
reduces
the
nutrient
load
to
the
big
sioux
river
right
over
here.
E
This
one
there's
some
pretty
decent
relief
in
this
area.
The
landowner
is
looking
for
a
pool
of
water
to
run
an
irrigation
system.
Out
of
I
think
we
can
get
that
there
that
one
also
has
been
in
engineering
and
we're
waiting
for
landowner
to
say
go
ahead
with
it.
E
Let's
see
another
project
we're
looking
at
is
a
clean
water
diversion
if
you
guys
are
familiar
with
feedlots
at
all.
You
can
tell
by
the
brown
colors
that
this
one
is
a
mess
springtime.
E
So
we're
looking
at
this
to
try
to
find
a
way
to
divert
the
clean
water
around
the
site
and
to
do
some
liache
collection
in
the
system,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
where
this
one
is
going
to
go,
but
we've
kind
of
just
started
a
discovery,
design
process
to
see
what
the
producers
are
willing
to
to
accept
and
what
the
potential
cost
would
be
to
actually
do
a
a
full-blown
ag
waste
system
or
just
clean
water
diversion.
E
In
the
crp
realm
or
the
conservation
reserve
program
through
the
nrcs,
there
are
certain
situations
within
the
watershed
that
the
producer
isn't
going
to
run
animals
on
it
any
longer,
but
they
want
some
sort
of
return
on
their
investment,
so
they
have
rental
programs
and
incentive
programs
to
like
this.
E
This
is
a
10
acre,
one
that
we
just
did.
This
takes
some
acreage
out
of
row
crop
production
which
basically
becomes
a
buffer
and
a
filter
for
that
field.
E
E
Grass,
waterways
are
also
a
big
thing
that
we
do
and
it's
basically
all
field
erosion,
reconstructing
field
erosion
directly
by
putting
in
up
to
a
30
foot
wide
strip
of
grass
through
those
channels.
You
know
the
guy
lost
his
combine
in
there
last
year,
we're
gonna
smooth
it
out
this
year,
plant
grass
have
an
easement
on
it
so
that
he
can't
plow
it
back
up
again
and
that
functions
as
a
filter
for
the
row
crops
and
the
highly
erodible
soils.
E
Not
all
projects
go
through
just
to
briefly
touch
on
this
one.
This
was
an
80-acre
parcel.
That
was
a
proposed
wetland
bank,
as
we
were
jumping
through
all
the
hoops
and
trying
to
get
the
core
of
engineers
involved
in
online
with
it.
It
did
fall
through
the
core
said
that
this
was
not
appropriate
for
this
site.
We
were
going
to
enhance
the
wetlands
construct
more
wetlands
and
use
it
as
a
mitigation
bank.
E
The
theory
behind
that
was
to
take
these
small
anchorages
that
otherwise
would
get
intensive
animal
agriculture
or
or
row
crops
on
them
and
make
it
worth
the
while
of
the
landowner
to
actually
get
a
return
on
their
investment
for
these
small
parcels
through
a
wetland
bank.
If
they
can
sell
credits
that
makes
it
not
just
wasteland
anymore
and
then
they'll
value
those
wetlands
more.
Well,
that's
the
theory.
This
one
fell
through.
It's
really
sad.
E
And
they
would
give
us,
maybe
one
credit
when
our
initial
calculations
were
45
credits,
that's
our
we
can.
If
you
would
like
to
ask
questions
later
offline,
I
can
give
you
the
name
of
the
core
of
engineers,
guy
that
has
pretty
much
taken
over
the
program
and
is
making
life
difficult
for
not
only
us,
but
everybody
in
the
system.
E
So
those
are
the
proposed
projects
that
we
have
for
next
year,
some
of
the
good
some
of
the
bad.
Some
of
the
ugly.
E
Not
only
do
we
work
with
producers
within
the
watershed
area,
and
you
know
that
I
forgot
to
mention
that
the
two
thousand
feet
of
shoreline
that
we
helped
repair
just
this
year
and
then
we've
got
about
that
much
more
to
go,
but
we
interact
with
our
clean
water
message
with
over
seven
thousand
people
annually
through
education
events.
E
Second
graders,
sixth
graders
camp
chants,
the
service
clubs.
You
know
I
do
the
talk
show
circuit
in
town
here
every
once
in
a
while
go
talk
to
everybody,
homeschool
macro
invertebrate
demonstrations.
If
you
want
a
fun
time,
let
me
come
talk
to
you
about
bugs
it's
really
a
blast.
E
In
closing
you
know
the
city
of
watertown
has
been
our
our
main
sponsor
since
the
the
beginning
of
this,
and
I
can't
stress
enough
how
much
I
appreciate
the
people
of
watertown
being
able
to
support
us
as
strongly
as
they
do.
I
don't
think
seldom
have.
I
ever
been
told
no
for
anything
that
I've
ever
asked
for,
and
I
really
appreciate
that
with
that
heath
I'll
give
it
back
to
you
thanks.
A
G
And
I
have
nothing
further
to
add
to
that
mayor
other
than
it's.
I
think
it's
great
to
share
this
information
to
give
people
an
idea
what
it
is
roger
works
on
and
focuses
on
the
breadth
of
projects
that
we're
trying
to
accomplish
all
for
the
sake
of
the
water
quality
in
the
upper
big
shoe
watershed
region.
So.
D
Yes,
first
of
all,
thanks
for
the
presentation
roger
the
second
time,
I've
sat
through
it
now
on
the
very
informative
each
time.
So
thank
you
for
that.
I
do
have
a
question
for
you,
though.
Obviously
the
producers
that
that
you
work
with
the
projects
you've
lined
up
those
are
the
ones
that
want
to
do
things
right.
D
What
what
who,
if
anybody,
monitors
what
goes
on
out
there
in
the
watershed
when
they're
just
blatant,
you
know
pollution,
runoff,
etc.
What
who,
who
gets
involved
in
that?
If
anybody.
E
D
E
D
E
Yes
and
the
projects
that
we
do
cost
here,
I
do
have
some
teeth
involved
with
that.
If,
after
five
years
on
a
20-year
contract,
the
the
thing
is
destroyed
or
or
something
happens
to
it
or
disregarded,
I
do
have
the
ability
to
go
back
and
request
a
prorated
amount
of
our
money
back,
but
as
far
as
enforcement.
F
Thanks
mayor
roger,
I
have
a
question
in
a
dry
year.
You've
mentioned
a
lot
of
crpa
areas
there,
but
when
it's
dry
would
that
be
land
that
would
typically
be
turned
over
then
to
the
farmers,
let's
say,
and
they
could
go
in
and
cut
the
cut.
The
acres
cut
the
whatever's
on
it
and
or
graze
it
if
it
is
really
dry
or
what
happen.
What's
the
no
on
that.
E
It
depends
greatly
on
which
part
of
the
program
they're
involved
with
if
it's
a
crp,
the
nrcs
rules,
trump
anything
else,
and
sometimes
they
will
open
that
up
to
grazing
and
and
hayne.
E
If
it's
like
a
right,
a
seasonal
riparian
area
management
program
that
we
can
administer,
then
there
are
conditions
where
they
can
go
in
and
take
the
hay,
oh
as
long
as
they
leave
six
to
eight
inches
of
stubble,
but
nothing,
no
animals
between
june
and
september,
and
anything
that
occurs
has
to
be
after
the
15th
of
july.
So
there's
rules
that
they
have
to
abide
by,
but
they
can
use
it
if
they,
if
there's
an
emergency
or
if
the
right
year
comes
along.
E
F
Thanks
mayor,
I
I
just
have
a
question
and
maybe
you're
going
to
cover
it
someplace
along
the
line,
but
I'm
thinking
about
safety
in
terms
of
masks
and
what's
happening
with
our
new
program.
I
haven't
seen
anything-
and
I
I
just
continue
to
have
people
say
that
the
city
isn't
doing
anything
about
this
covid
issue,
so
hopefully
maybe
you're
going
to
say
something
about
it
later,
if
so
I'll
just
back
out,
but
I
don't
want
it
to
not
go
talked
about
tonight.
A
A
It
was
seen
as
being
a
political,
and
it
said
all
political
posts
are
being
shut
down
until
after
the
election,
and
so
I
actually
I
sent
that
on
to
the
person,
the
public
information
officer.
That
was
heading
up
the
social
media
posts
and
I
haven't
heard
back
on-
what's
happening
with
that,
but
I
do
believe
that
you're
not
seeing
it
on
social
media,
because
facebook
and
instagram
are
not
allowing
political
posts
to
be
shared
and
that's
seen
as
political,
but
the
city
is
promoting.
A
I
mean
I
joined
together
with
15
other
mayors
to
promote
it
and
the
the
philosophy
is
that
we
we
aren't
talking
about
mass
mandates,
that's
kind
of
a
almost
insubordination
when
you
have
your
governor
and
your
president
saying
they
are
against
that
for
the
communities
to
support
it.
However,
we
don't
feel
we
need
a
mandate
in
order
to
promote
mask
usage
and
that's
why
the
mayor's
wrote
the
letter
to
all
of
the
people
asking
to
please
cooperate
it.
We
we
know
that
masks
are
not
perfect;
they
they
don't
stop
the
disease.
A
There's,
there's
no
question
about
that.
Wearing
a
mask
does
not
prevent
you
from
getting
it,
nor
does
it
prevent
you
from
spreading
it.
However,
it
does
limit
the
exposure
both
to
you
and
from
you,
and
we
feel
that
there's
enough
evidence
that
that
results
in
a
reduction
in
the
spread
of
the
disease,
and
so
it's
it's.
What
we've
got
it's
our
it's,
it's
our
it's
our
tool
and
so
we're
asking
people
to
do
that,
but
not
just
that.
A
I
do
christine
just
sent
me.
Thank
you
christine
a
performance
measure
of
our
facebook
posts
that
we've
reached
22
371
people
with
the
social
media
posts
and
we've
had
1671
reactions,
either
comments
or
shares,
and
so
that's
actually
really
good.
The
it's
probably
the
local
stuff
that
we're
able
to
do
it's
just
not
the
the
the
other
part
of
it.
So
feeling
pretty
good
about
that.
A
Instagram,
okay,
so
this
is
a
I've
got
a
copy
of
our
facebook
post,
which
shows
six
different
photos
of
people
wearing
masks
and
22
371
people
reached
so
we're
getting
some
some
coverage,
just
maybe
not
as
we're
expected,
but
maybe
that
will
change
after
the
election's
over.
So
thank
you
christine.
D
Got
a
question
for
heath:
I
don't
want
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
you
gave
a
good
presentation
at
a
planning
commission
meeting
here
a
couple
meetings
ago
about
your
the
current
status
of
workforce
and
staffing
needs
in
building
services,
engineering
et
cetera.
You
want
to
give
us
a
brief,
brief
overview,
where
we
do
stand
as
far
as
positions
that
we
are
looking
at
needing
to
fail
in
the
near
future.
G
There
are
two
in
community
development
and
two
in
the
engineering
divisions
of
public
works,
both
of
which
those
divisions,
of
course,
are
housed
here
on
second
floor
of
city
hall
and
carry
out
a
lot
of
the
permitting
building
permitting
development
and
inspection
processes
for
the
city.
The
the
one
key
position
that
is
still
vacant
in
community
development
is
the
building
specialist.
G
G
The
permit
technician
hire
is
hired
on
to
handle
some
administrative
duties
along
with
some
minor
permitting
and
then
the
vacant
building
specialists
that
we're
still
seeking
will
do
a
kind
of
more
of
a
robust,
more
in-depth
code
review
of
the
larger
permits
that
we
issue
throughout
the
community,
so
that
one
is
still
vacant
and
then
on
the
engineering
side,
we
have
a
an
eit
engineering
training
position.
G
That's
posted
right
now
for
a
degreed
civil
engineer,
and
that
is
what
we
discussed,
adding
into
the
21
budget
and
as
suggested,
which
I
think
was
a
great
idea.
We
went
ahead
and
got
it
advertised
right
away
and,
as
of
now
have
not
received
any
applications
for
it,
so
we
do
suspect.
That'll
remain
a
challenge
to
fill
just
because
of
the
high
demand
for
engineers
and
and
engineering
technicians.
G
G
A
Okay,
we
will
be
going
into
executive
session,
but
first
I
asked
the
city
attorney
matt
roby,
to
give
a
reminder
about
the
rules
around
executive
session
just
for
both
the
the
staff
and
for
any
of
the
public
watching
so
matt.
Would
you
please
go
ahead
with
that.
C
Yeah,
you
bet
thanks
mayor,
just
want
to
touch
on
a
couple
of
a
couple
of
items
here,
just
as
again
as
a
refresher
for
the
purposes
for
which
we
can
go
into
executive
session
and
some
of
the
procedures
that
need
to
be
followed
pursuant
to
state
law.
The
items
the
the
reasons.
C
The
authorized
reasons
for
executive
sessions
that
relate
to
us
are
as
follows.
So
the
city
can
go
into
executive
session
to
discuss
personnel
matters
and
labor
relation
matters,
contract
negotiation
with
unions.
That
sort
of
thing
can
go
into
executive
session
to
consult
with
legal
counsel
on
pending
or
proposed
litigation
or
contractual
matters.
C
It
can
go
into
executive
session
to
consult
with
our
economic
development
arm,
the
watertown
development
company
or
other
individuals
who
may
be
assisting
with
economic
development
issues
to
discuss
confidential
financial
related
financial
information
related
to
those
to
those
projects,
and
fourth,
the
most
recently
added
exception
to
the
open
meetings.
Rule
for
executive
session
are
security
related
issues.
It
was
just
added
last
year
after
last
year's
legislative
session
and
that's
pretty
broad.
C
It
encompasses
quite
a
few
quite
a
few
areas,
for
example,
emergency
response,
security
audits,
public
sensitive
public
safety,
information,
computer
network
related
information,
that
sort
of
thing,
so
those
those
would
be
authorized
reasons
to
go
into
executive
session
now
to
go
into
executive
session,
as
you
notice
is
done.
When
we
do
so,
a
motion
needs
to
be
made.
There
needs
to
be
a
citation
to
the
statute.
C
It's
a
specific
reference
to
what's
going
to
be
discussed
to
the
broad
category
about,
what's
going
to
be
discussed,
of
course,
not
the
specif,
not
the
specifics
of
the
discussion,
so
there
needs
to
be
the
citation
and
the
mention
of
the
category
for
which
we're
going
to
executive
session
discussions
and
executive
session
need
to
be
limited
to
that
topic.
C
They
can't
bury
they
can't
veer
to
another
topic.
Even
another
topic
that
would
be
an
allowed
executive
session
item
cannot
be
discussed
if
it
wasn't
mentioned
in
the
motion,
there
needs
to
be
a
majority
vote
to
approve
that
to
go
into
executive
session,
then
a
couple
of
other
items
here.
Of
course,
no
action
can
be
taken
in
executive
session.
So
technically
you
can't
make
a
motion
to
go
out
of
executive
session.
C
The
chair
of
the
meeting
can
just
declare
the
group
out
of
executive
session
once
the
discussion
has
concluded
the
one
other
note
here.
Let's
see
if
action
is
taken
in
executive
session
illegally,
you'll
note
that
the
members
of
the
council,
that
are
participants
in
that
action
can
be
held
personally
liable
for
the
result
of
any
sort
of
action
that
might
have
been
taken
in
executive
session.
It
was
illegal,
they
could
also
be
held
criminally
liable.
C
Violations
of
open
meetings
law
are
a
class
two
misdemeanor
and
finally,
of
course,
the
executive
sessions
by
their
very
nature,
are
confidential
and
any
participants
in
the
executive
session
have
a
duty
of
confidentiality,
as
it
relates
to
the
information
that
was
discussed.
A
All
right,
thank
you,
matt.
I
think
it's
good
to
have
a
refresher
every
now
and
then,
and
with
that
we
will
have
an
executive
session
this
evening
in
order
to
discuss
and
consult
with
legal
counsel
on
contact
contractual
matters
as
well
as
confidential
financial
information
for
economic
development
purposes,
and
so
look
for
a
motion
to
go
in
pursuant
to
sdcl
1-25-2,
and
we
do
not
expect
to
take
any
action
upon
coming
out.
So
I
had
a
motion
from
hoyer.
