The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
public
comment,
and
this
is
the
time
reserved
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
until
that
agenda
item
is
taken
up
by
the
council.
A
A
All
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye
was
the
post
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item.
Seven
is
the
regular
agenda,
starting
with
a
approval
of
the
proposed
resolution
of
necessity,
number
21-04
for
the
assessment
of
the
10th
avenue
north
sidewalk
project
number
2000
2007-a
now
look
for
motion
to
approval
by
was
that
holding
and
a
second
by
bueller,
and
I
will
ask
the
public
works
director,
slash
city,
engineer,
heath
von
nai
to
introduce
this
topic.
Please.
G
G
Those
with
sidewalk
in
in
good
condition,
those
with
sidewalk
that
we're
relocating
due
to
the
widening
of
our
road
and
things
of
that
nature,
will
not
be
assessed
and
will
be
part
of
the
construction
project.
But
there
are
a
good
number
of
sidewalks
that
don't
meet
the
ada
standards
or
that
do
not
exist
along
this
route
that
we
will
be
assessing
or
proposing
to
assess
through
this
resolution,
of
necessity
for
those
sidewalk
installations.
G
A
couple
of
stats
I'll
provide
a
council
here
briefly,
is
that
there
are
roughly
23,
I
think,
properties
along
this
route.
That
would
be
formally
assessed
for
the
sidewalk
costs
and
if
you
also
recall,
we've
implemented
a
an
update
to
our
sidewalk
cost
share
program
where
that's
helped,
reduce
the
cost.
The
end
result
of
the
cost
to
these
homeowners,
pretty
what
I
would
say
fairly
substantially
to
help
aid
in
those
costs.
G
G
This
resolution,
of
necessity
doesn't
call
out
each
address
specifically,
but
does
reference
those
properties
that
are
generally
receiving
benefit
by
the
sidewalk
installation
as
deemed
necessary,
and
it
also
doesn't
spill
out
each
lots
specific
cost.
That
would
be
at
the
time
of
finalization
of
the
assessment.
A
Okay,
thank
you,
keith,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
up
the
public
hearing
at
this
time
and
if
there's
anyone
here
who
would
like
to
speak,
I
would
ask
you
to
please
come
forward
and
state
your
name
into
the
record
using
the
microphone.
Is
there
anyone
here
that
would
like
to
speak
about
the
sidewalk
assessment
project.
A
C
Thank
you,
mayor
heath.
Just
can
the
property
owners
put
in
their
own
sidewalk
if
they,
if
they
wish
to
do
that
in
this
project,.
G
E
I
would
think
if
they
wanted
to
do
that
and
then
and
then
we
just
simply
would
not
include
them
in
the
work
that
was
going
to
be
done
and
they
would
not
end
up
on
the
assessment
role,
which
is
the
the
tail
end
of
this
process
once
the
work
is
complete.
E
I
you
know
at
this.
If
the
council
approves
this
resolution
and
there's
a
property
on
the
resolution,
they're
included
in
this
resolution
or
the
legal
description
here
and
they
decide
they'd
like
to
do
it
later
on
their
own,
we
may
have
to
come
back
and
amend
the
resolution
to
take
them
out
of
the
resolution,
but
there
is
a
way.
Yes,
it
just
may
complicate
matters.
C
A
Right
we'd
want
to
make
sure
that
they
aren't
putting
it
at
a
different
grade
or
a
different
alignment
than
the
sidewalk
that
we're
putting
in
and
with
the
project,
we'll
be
bidding
it
out
and
we'll
have
the
economy
of
scale.
It
should
be
cheaper
to
do
it
via
the
project
plus
they
have
the
ability
to
spread
the
cost
over
up
to
10
years
on
their
taxes.
If
they
do
it
through
the
assessment,
any
other
questions
or
comments,
councilman
bill,
howard.
D
I'll
be
voting
again,
societics
previously
expressed
a
concern,
I'm
in
favor
of
our
sidewalk
ordinance
in
general,
but
because
of
no
requirement
a
similar
requirement
of
anyone
on
the
south
side
of
the
street.
I
I
question
it.
As
of
I
want
a
point
of
fairness
to
those
in
the
north
side.
In
my
opinion,
being
penalized
I'll,
be
voting
against
this.
A
I
E
J
E
J
E
J
A
G
G
This
resolution,
of
necessity
again
initiates
the
assessment
process
for
those
costs
that
are
specific
to
each
individual
property
owner
along
10th
avenue
that
will
be
receiving
new
individual
service
lines.
I
will
refer
to
marcy
briefly
on
the
number
of
land
owners
that
that
would
affect,
and
again
a
very
approximate
cost
per
land
owner.
G
So
with
the
resolution
necessity,
if
passed
tonight
again,
that
work
would
be
included
in
our
project
and
in
the
work
that
we
bid
and
be
then
oversought
by
the
the
consultant
cdi
or
city
staff
and
and
carried
out
through
completion.
And
then
the
final
assessment
costs
would
be
filed
at
the
completion
of
the
project
and
brought
back
to
council
for
action
at
that
point
in
time
for
each
individual
property
owner
that
received
benefit
to
a
new
sanitary
sewer
service
installation.
C
H
I
have
an
approximation,
I
didn't
actually
calculate
that
tonight,
but
I
believe
it's
around
12.
12
of
the.
C
A
And
so
this
being
around
two
thousand
dollars
is
a
really
good
deal
for.
A
H
A
Okay,
councilman.
H
So
the
at
a
previous
action
by
the
council,
we
have
chosen
to
assess
only
the
private
sewer
service
so
from
their
property
to
the
main.
That's
in
the
street,
the
main
work
and
the
manholes
any
other
necessary
ad
additions
are
covered
by
the
city.
A
So
you're
saving
eight
nine
thousand
dollars
per
homeowner
on
the
average.
So
that's
a
good
deal
for
them.
Okay,
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
at
this
time.
If
there's
anyone
here
who
would
like
to
speak
about
this,
please
come
forward
if
you're
online,
just
state
your
name
and
say
request
permission
to
speak.
E
Juanita
lance
I
live
on
the
corner
of
10th
avenue
and
81.
There.
K
A
G
Yeah,
so
the
the
sewer
service
line
work
will
be
bid
with
our
project
and,
depending
on
the
contractor,
that
gets
the
general
contract.
They'll
have
a
series
of
subcontractors
working
underneath
them,
and
so
I
would
only
assume
it'd
be
an
assumption
on
my
part
to
think
that
whoever's
doing
the
sewer
main
is
likely
going
to
do
the
sewer
service
lines
as
well.
G
A
K
A
G
Madam
mayor,
yes,
you
can
make
one
point
of
clarity
to
the
questions
there.
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
just
based
on
the
comments,
I
didn't
want
any
misunderstanding
left.
The
estimates
we
provided
today
are
where
we
feel
the
cost
will
come
in
just
based
on
our
engineering
estimates
we
in
relation
to
whether
those
would
be
lower
than
somebody
doing
them
individually.
G
We
think
that,
yes,
that
that's
likely
could
be
the
case
based
on
economy
of
scale,
but
what
we're
not
saying
is
that
we
think
the
bid
will
necessarily
come
in
lower
than
these
estimates.
Oh
right,
that's
not
that's
not
the
message
I
wanted
to
be
heard
tonight.
A
A
L
Thanks
mayor,
I
think
maybe
that
answered
my
question.
What
heath
just
said
that
I
was
going
to
ask
if
we've
already
bid
that
or
is
juanita
lamp
might
have
better
news
and
certainly
if
she
tried
to
do
it
herself.
So
that
was
going
to
be
my
question,
so
I
think
heath
answered
it.
J
G
H
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Item
c
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-01,
an
ordinance
repealing
section,
19.0108
and
amending
section
19.0132
of
the
revised
ordinances
of
the
city
of
watertown,
clarifying
the
permissibility
of
u-turns.
There's
no
action
here,
it's
just
the
first
reading,
so
I'll
ask
the
city
attorney
matt
roby,
to
explain
it.
E
Thank
you,
mayor
I'll,
just
give
a
brief
overview,
and
then
I
see
assistant
chief
assistant
police,
chief,
tim
toomey's
on
the
line
as
well,
but
it
was
actually
assistant
chief
to
me
that
brought
this
to
my
attention,
our
attention
and
we
had
a
little
group
that
got
together
and
took
a
look
at
it
and
basically,
what
it
boils
down
to
is.
E
We
had
conflicting
ordinances,
one
of
our
ordinances
said:
u-turns
are
not
allowed
period
and
another
ordinance
contemplated
that
u-turns
would
be
allowed,
but
wouldn't
be
allowed
at
stop
and
go
intersection.
So
what
we
did
here
is
eliminate
that
contradiction,
and
the
proposed
of
the
city
here
regarding
u-turns
would
be
that
they
would
be
permitted
only
at
intersections
that
are
not
regulated
by
electronic
signals
or
stop
signs.
A
P
O
Forever,
since
I've
been
a
new
officer
for
20
years
now,
we've
always
understood
it
to
be
allowed
at
uncontrolled
intersections.
They
that
doesn't
mean
they
give
up.
They
have
to
give
up
the
right
of
way
for
any
normal
traffic
through
the
intersections.
This
is
actually
a
little
more
restrictive
than
most
other
cities,
but
it's
the
easiest
way
to
cl,
to
enforce
it
and
to
clean
up
our
ordinances.
So
this
is
what.
E
We
came
up
with
and
we
recommend-
and
I
believe
assistant
chief
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
I
think
you
know
if
you're
approaching
an
uncontrolled
intersection
and
you
whip
a
ue
and
you
happen
to
cut
off
another
vehicle
or
do
something
to
that
effect.
There's
other
remedies
for
that
reckless
driving
careless
driving.
So
you
know
really.
You
would
still
need
to
do
that
u-turn
in.
F
E
Safe
manner
and
a
safe
and
responsible
and
manner
that
doesn't
interfere
with
other
other
drivers,
and
so
typically
that
would
be
at
a
time
where
there's
no
other
cars
at
the
intersection
or
near
the
intersection.
A
Item
d
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-02,
establishing
the
zoning
designation
of
i2
heavy
industrial
district
for
a
portion
of
watertown
crop
nutrients,
llc
property
located
at
17742,
453rd
avenue,
watertown
south
dakota-
and
this
is
also
a
first
reading.
So
no
action
heath
want
to
tell
us
about
this.
Please.
G
G
All
this
property
down
into
this
blue
outlined
area
is
under
the
same
ownership
and
it's
essentially
a
housekeeping
item
to
pull
the
rest
of
this
property
into
the
city
which
the
annexation
will
be
at
the
second
reading
of
this
zoning,
but
then
of
course,
appropriately
zone
it
similarly
to
the
northern
part
of
the
property
as
an
i2
zoning
district
and
really
it's
a
straightforward.
G
There
are
some
subsequent
actions
needed
by
the
board
of
adjustment
to
continue
to
help
clean
this
this
up
as
far
as
conditional
uses
and
such
and
those
will
be
managed
accordingly
upon
the
timelines
for
those
applications.
But
before
the
council
tonight
is
simply
the
first
reading
for
the
rezone
to
zone.
This
area
highlighted
in
blue
as
an
i2
zoning
district
to
be
subsequently
annexed
into
the
city
and
urban
planner
brandon
is
online
and
her.
I
would
be
glad
to
help
answer
any
questions.
A
Right
so
this
was
supposed
to
have
been
annexed
before
the
building
permits
were
granted
on
the
main
part
of
the
property,
and
it
just
didn't
happen
for
some
reason
that
nobody
knows,
but
we
caught
caught
it
somehow
and
discovered
that
it
hadn't
been
with
inquiries
wanting
to
make
things
right
on
the
property.
Any
questions
councilman
gahar.
D
I
know
this
is
a
rather
contentious
item
on
the
recent
planning
commission.
I
think
also
board
of
adjustment
meeting
that
same
night.
Can
you
tell
me
heath
that
the
the
half
a
dozen
six
seven
or
so
homeowners
immediately
adjacent
to
the
east
are,
are
those
already
annexed
in
and
zoned
or
are
they
still
outside
of
city
limits?.
G
G
Okay,
so
those
are
residents
outside
the
formal
city
limits,
but
yet
obviously
immediately
adjacent
to
this
use
and
have
we
staff
have
been
in
discussions
with
them
about
their
concerns
of
this
use
and
and
continue
to
we'll
continue
to
have
those
discussions
at
the
boa
level
as
well.
C
Mayor
I
did
look
at
and
I
had
a
discussion
with
brandy
earlier
today
in
regards
to
the
the
section
in
here
about
salvage
and
wind
turbine
blades
for
storage,
and
I
don't
brandy,
do
you
want
to
address
that
just
momentarily
for
everybody?
C
B
So
it
that's
where,
when
heath
says
this
is
a
housekeeping
item,
we're
just
making
sure
that
the
entire
property
will
now
be
within
city
limits.
The
i2
heavy
industrial
district
is
consistent
with
the
comp
plan,
and
so
then,
but
those
the
wind
turbine,
blade
storage.
You
can
see
there
on
the
map
that
heath
has
pulled
up,
there's
kind
of
a
grated
pad
just
to
the
north.
B
That
is
where
they'll
be
storing
those
blades
and
they
do
have
an
agreement
with
the
company
that
is
managing
that
so
that
it
doesn't
become
a
perpetual
storage
area
that
they
are
having
to
they'll
pay
a
monthly
fee
for
as
long
as
the
blades
are
sitting
there,
so
it'll
be
most
likely.
They're
they'll
be
motivated
to
get
those
out
of
the
or
off
of
the
property.
You
know
so
they're
not
continuously
being
charged,
but
that
will
be
a
deeper
conversation
for
the
board
of
adjustment
meeting
on
february
4th.
L
Thanks
mayor
randy,
I
watched
that
session
too
with
the
board
of
adjustment
and
is
anything
going
to
be
done
as
a
sight
barrier
to
that
new
property.
That's
being
added
there,
because
right
now
they
were
concerned
about
the
wind
turbine
blades.
But
there
will
be
other
things
back
there,
or
is
that
just
going
to
be
up
to
the
house
owners
there
or
where
will
that
come
into
play
because
they
were
concerned
about
that
that
they
look
out
their
window
and
there's
this
stuff.
B
Right
and
they
did,
they
are
relocating
those
blades
up
to
that
pad
area
shown.
But
then
that
will
all
be
something
that
the
board
of
adjustment
can
consider
with
the
conditional
use
action
and
see
if
there
can
be
some
buffering
considered.
B
Okay
and-
and
I
did-
I
had
further
correspondence
with
the
adjacent
land
owners
there
and
I
do
have
a
neighborhood
meeting
set
up
with
them
later
this
week,
so
that
we
can
try
to
discuss
a
little
further
before
the
board
of
adjustment
meeting
very
good.
G
G
So
the
council's
approval
of
the
i2
would
not
inherently
allow
those
uses.
That's
why
they
have
to
go
back
to
the
board
of
adjustment
to
formally
get
conditional
use
approvals
at
the
boa
level,
and
those
conditional
use
approvals,
as
brandees
indicated,
will
likely
include
everything
from
the
fertilizer
manufacturing.
That's
gone
on
for
quite
some
time,
and
this
potential
new
use
of
those
wind
turbine
blade
off
loading
and
loading
for
recycling
purposes.
Of
those.
A
So
this
is
the
the
project
that
we
have
to
design
the
renovations
and
the
was
on
the
agenda
for
the
last
council
meeting
and
was
postponed
to
this
meeting
to
give
the
council
time
to
do
a
little
more
homework
and
find
out
some
more
information.
A
I
know
several
of
the
council
members
did
meet
with
and
talk
to
our
consultant
and
some
of
them
did
a
tour
of
the
building,
and
I
did
ask
a
couple
times
if
there
were
any
questions
that
I
could
help
answer,
and
I
didn't
get
a
single
question
from
any
of
the
council
members.
So
I
think
that's
a
good
sign
and
I
I
guess
I
would
like
to
hear
if
anyone
that
was
feeling
insecure
about
it,
got
their
questions
answered
or
if
they're
still
outstanding,
questions
counsel.
C
I
think
the
the
question
at
hand
is
whether
or
not
we
want
to
continue
forward
with
tsp
in
the
contract.
That's
you
know
I
could.
I
can
give
you
just
a
real
I'll,
try
to
be
brief
because
it
looks
like
we
might
have
a
long
night,
but
glenn,
and
I
both
we've
had
discussions
with
tsp,
just
to
kind
of
substantiate
some
of
the
recommendations
that
they
have.
One
of
the
bigger
ones
in
question
was
hvac
and
then
the
sprinkling
issue
and
some
of
the
higher
higher
dollar
components
to
the
to
the
redesign.
E
L
C
Been
real
helpful
with
us
and
answering
questions,
but
we've
we
felt
it
was
prudent
for
us
to
to
get.
You
know,
make
sure
that
we
asked
the
questions
and
to
find
out
if
these
things
were
necessary
and
and
how
they
had
to
be
set
up.
Timing,
wise,
but
and
and
there's
there
probably
still
are.
But
one
thing
we
did
ask
also
is
that
we
get
sort
of
a
10
000
foot
view
instead
of
a
30
000
foot
view
of
some
of
the
itemized
costs,
and
so
we've
had
discussions
about
that.
C
And
so
we
do
have
some
decisions
to
make
further
down
the
road.
As
to
you
know
what
direction
we
want
to
go
with
some
of
these
expenditures,
if,
if
on
the
timing,
and
if
whether
or
not
we
want
to
do
them
or
if
we
want
to
phase
some
of
this
project,
but
you
know
so
just
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
I
think
we
we've
kind
of
we've
done
our
best
to
vet
this
and
glenn.
I
don't
know
if
you
have
yeah
I'll.
D
Just
I'll
just
echo
what
what
what
bruce
has
said
tonight
we're
not
here
to
make
a
decision
on
some
of
the
the
components
I
mean
the
hvac
system,
for
example,
that
that's
not
our
charge
tonight
our
charges,
whether
or
not
we
want
to
continue
to
work
with
with
tsp,
and
I
would
I
would
say
definitely
I
we
do.
D
I
do
make
a
comment,
though,
for
for
the
public's
sake,
I
think
we
got
the
cart
before
the
horse
in
one
regard
here,
when
the
public
heard
that
we
were
buying
the
wells
fargo
building
for
1.3
million
dollars
as
a
city
hall,
I
think
they
thought
hey,
we
got
it.
We
got
a
really
good
deal
and
we're
gonna
move
into
a
new
building
and
for
city
hall
and
we're
done
well.
I
think
we
all
knew
going
in
there
was
gonna
have
to
be
renovate
some
renovation
done.
D
Unfortunately,
we
did
not
get
any
kind
of
estimates
ahead
of
time
to
present
for
our
review
and
for
the
public's,
you
know
response
as
far
as
what
those
renovation
costs
may
be.
We
should
have.
We
should
have
packaged
the
two
together.
The
renovation,
along
with
the
discussion
about
buying
the
building,
so
the
public
was
fully
aware
of
going
in
that
was
going
to
be
more
than
just
the
building
cost.
Well,
that's
water
to
the
bridge.
At
this
point
we
still
have
a
good
deal
with
the
building.
D
I
think,
when
it's
all
said
and
done
even
with
the
renovation
we're
going
to
have
a
facility,
that's
going
to
suit
our
needs
and
coming
in
significantly
less
than
what
we
are
anticipating
spending
to
the
tune
of
millions
of
dollars
less
than
what
we
were
potentially
looking
at
spending
on
a
on
a
different
facility.
So,
like
I
say,
we
probably
got
the
cart
for
the
horse
in
some
regard,
but
I'm
all
in
favor
of
moving
forward
with
this
project,
and
that
includes
working
with
tsp
as
our
architects.
C
Yeah
just
a
quick
comment.
I
I
also
I
think
this
has
been
a
gift
to
the
community.
I
really
do
it's
going
to
save
us
a
a
whole
bunch
of
money
and
we'll
have
a
really
good
structure
to
to
go
for
to
work
from
for
years
years
and
years.
I
think,
but
I
I
personally
think
that
we
should
continue
down
this
road
with
tsp.
That
would
be
my
vote
tonight.
A
All
right,
thank
you
and
just
for
your
information.
We
do
have
tad
holt
online.
If
any
of
the
council
members
have
any
questions
from
tsp
they're
here
and
if
you
have
any
questions
for
them.
K
Thank
you
mayor
on
this
one
just
because
we
approve
this.
Does
this
contract
with
tsp
does
not
mean
that
we
are
fully
moving
forward.
I
just
want
the
public
to
be
fully
aware
that
this
is
with
with
this
is
our
contract
with
tsp
to
come
design,
and
you
know
to
glenn
and
bruce's
point
that
we
we
you
know.
Maybe
we
phase
this.
Maybe
it's
you
know
done
over
time,
or
maybe
it's
done
all
at
once.
K
C
True
and
mayor,
I
will
just
one
more
I'm
sorry.
This
is
one
other
thing
too.
I
think
that
the
fee
that
they're
charging
the
the
percentage
for
construction
costs,
I
think,
is
reasonable,
especially
with
a
renovation.
You
know
you
could
expect
it
to
be
a
little
less
typically
with
new
construction,
but
in
this
case
with
you,
know,
demolition,
and
you
know
some
of
the
things
they
have
to
do
prior
to
construction.
I
I
think
it's
probably
a
pretty
fair
cost.
A
A
Q
So
in
my
head,
I'm
just
calling
it
mpi
or
multi-purpose
ice,
but
with
a
project
as
large
and
complex
as
this
there's
a
row
of
dominoes
that
have
to
fall
into
place
to
make
it
happen,
and
everyone
has
always
been
waiting
for
one
of
the
large
dominoes
to
fall.
That's
corporate
sponsorship,
location
city
bonding
and
we've
waited
a
long
time.
Q
So
when
word
got
out
that
the
council
is
actively
pursuing
a
resolution
to
the
ice
after
so
many
years,
I
want
to
commend
several
of
the
user
groups,
the
citizens
of
watertown
who
contacted
me
and
wanted
to
step
up
and
do
their
part.
They
know
it's
not
the
largest
domino,
but
they
have
an
exciting
proposal
that
they
want
to
bring
forward
to
the
council
to
tell
about
their
efforts
and
what
they're
willing
to
do
to
make
this
happen.
Q
Like
I
said
it's,
not
the
it's,
not
the
largest
domino,
but
it's
a
very
big
domino
that
can
get
this
going
and
keep
the
momentum
going
to
find
resolutions.
So
I
want
them
to
come
forward,
give
their
proposal
and
the
reason
why
I
wanted
it
on
the
agenda
is
because
this
way,
if
the
council
members
have
any
questions
for
them,
they
can
ask
them
if
it
was
just
in
opening
comments
or
at
the
end
they
couldn't
have.
So.
Q
Q
R
Now
are
we
on
okay,
eric
scott
with
the
watertown
hockey
association
and
I'll?
Try
to
keep
this
brief.
I
can
get
a
little
bit
windy
and
so
I'm
going
to
try
to
stick
to
the
script
and
just
read
this
letter
that
that's
being
passed
around
that
has
been
signed
by
all
of
the
board
members
of
the
hockey
association
and
outlines
our
commitment
to
help
get
this
done
for
the
community.
R
Wha
is
fully
in
support
of
this
effort
by
the
city
and
is
committed
to
supporting
the
construction
of
such
facility.
We
understand
that
this
is
a
huge
investment
by
the
community
and
we
wish
to
do
our
part.
Wha
deploys
a
hard-working
and
ambitious
group
of
passionate
parent
volunteers
to
pull
off
every
hockey
season.
Each
hockey
season,
our
volunteers
work
thousands
of
hours
to
ensure
our
youth
can
enjoy
a
great
experience
and
have
fun
learning
those
valuable
life.
R
R
R
Each
year,
wha
hosts
over
150
games
for
out-of-town
visitors,
we
host
at
least
five
tournaments
per
year,
with
eight
teams
per
tournament,
a
number
which
could
be
doubled
or
maybe
even
tripled,
with
a
second
sheet
of
ice.
It
is
estimated
that
the
economic
impact
for
the
community
today
is
in
the
millions
of
dollars.
R
R
R
We
are
committed
to
raising
a
minimum
of
two
million
dollars
to
aid
in
the
construction
of
this
new
two-sheet
facility.
This
commitment
consists
of
in-kind
donations
and
cash.
We
have
a
good
portion
of
cash
on
hand
and
we
have
obtained
several
pledges,
including
including
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
matching
funds
from
one
donor.
R
We
are
prepared
to
hire
a
professional
fundraiser
to
help
us
maximize
the
amount
of
money
possible
for
this
effort.
With
the
goal
to
raise
three
million
dollars
or
more
in
total-
and
you
know
marcy
and
I
have
visited
and
different
members
with
watertown
figure
skating
club
and
obviously
this
is
going
to
be
a
community-wide
effort
and
and
an
effort
by
the
user
groups
working
together,
and
so
that's
where
you
know
marcy
they've
got
a
commitment.
This
is
kind
of
the
commitment
from
wha.
N
N
We
are
here
this
evening
to
let
you
know
that
the
watertown
figure
skate
club
is
committed
to
working
with
the
city
of
watertown,
the
watertown
hockey
association
and
this
community
to
do
our
part
in
seeing
a
project
that
we
have
talked
about
for
so
many
years.
A
reality
wfsc
is
stepping
up
to
the
plate
as
well,
and
we
are
showing
our
commitment
to
the
construction
of
the
new
ice
arena
by
pledging
seven
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
in
kind
and
monetary
donations.
N
N
N
Our
program
is
growing
fast
and
our
families
are
committed
and
willing.
Recently
we
held
a:
u
s:
figure
skate
test
session
which
brought
75
skater
families
to
watertown
these
families,
traveled
from
within
south
dakota
minnesota
and
north
dakota.
They
were
staying
in
our
hotels,
eating
at
our
restaurants,
shopping
in
our
retail
stores
and
fueling
with
fuel
as
they
headed
out
of
town.
N
We
estimate
this
event
brought
well
over
ten
thousand
dollars
to
the
community
for
the
one
day
event.
This
event
could
have
been
larger
if
we
had
a
bigger
facility,
as
we
actually
had
to
turn
skaters
away
due
to
a
full
schedule
and
lack
of
available
ice,
should
we
get
a
larger
facility.
We
are
committed
to
doing
more
of
these
types
of
events,
as
well
as
regional
competitions,
sectionals
and
ice
shows.
N
These
events
would
be
much
larger
and
would
bring
larger
amounts
of
people
from
a
tri-state
region
to
watertown,
and
with
that
more
revenue
into
our
community
figure
skating
does
not
have
a
season,
so
to
speak,
so
we
are
able
to
host
these
events
year-round
with
a
larger
rank.
The
economic
impact
to
our
community
through
additional
events
could
be
even
more
substantial
than
it
is
presently.
N
N
N
A
I
just
wow.
This
is
what
we
needed
the
community
needed
to
see
that
you
were
committed
to
seeing
this
through,
because
there's
not
a
person
on
the
council
that
doesn't
want
it
to
happen.
Everybody
wants
it
to
happen.
We
just
got
to
figure
out
how
to
do
it
and
be
able
to
afford
it,
so
this
will
go
a
long
way
to
helping
with
that.
So,
thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Q
I
I
think
that
there's
other
people
here
to
watch
it,
but
I
don't
think
that
they
want
to
testify,
but
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
with
both
groups
when
I
talked
with
them,
I
wanted
to
show
like
proof
of
concept,
because
it's
been
around
for
so
long.
I
wanted,
and
everyone
knows
that
the
community
is
kind
of
behind
it,
but
I
wanted
to
see
what
we
could
find
out.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
both
groups
within
two
days
of
me
talking
to
them
both
groups
came
in
with
donors
of
over
six
figures.
A
Q
Okay,
so
this
isn't
just
some
dream
or
pie
in
the
sky
that
this
could
happen.
It
was
happening
and
actually
I
had
to
play
mia
culpa
and
I
had
to
call
them
both
up
and
say
what
you
have
to
stop
you're
doing
too
good,
because
what
was
happening
was
I
didn't
want
to
double
hit
donors.
I
wanted
to
come
back
and
make
sure
we
had
a
plan
because,
at
least
for
me,
both
groups
definitely
showed
proof
of
concept
that
the
community
was
behind
it.
Q
They
were
going
to
be
able
to
raise
the
money,
and
I
just
wanted
to
say:
okay
wait
a
minute.
You
proved
it
to
me.
Come
to
the
council,
show
that
and
let's
you
know,
maybe
hire
someone
to
do
it
right
plan
out
a
strategy,
because
that's
how
like
mavericks
or
the
goss
did
it
and
you
have
to
do
it
right.
So
they
definitely
proved
it
to
me.
But
thank
you
for
allowing
me
that,
because
it
might
stave
off
some
questions.
A
L
Thanks
mayor,
I
just
want
to
thank
eric
and
marcy
for
their
presentation,
but
one
of
the
things
they
didn't
mention
is
that
with
two
sheets
of
ice,
the
kids
that
practice
from
nine
o'clock
until
11
o'clock
are
typically
younger,
kids
and
they're
kind
of
a
forgotten
thing
here,
because
they
they
can
only
get
on
the
ice
when
they
can
get
on
and
that's
late
time,
and
so
it
definitely
has
a
bearing
on
their
education
also.
So
this
is
just
another
win
for
the
the
second
sheet
of
ice
and
water
tone.
K
Thank
you
mayor.
Thanks
to
both
you
and
your,
both
your
respective
organizations
for
coming
up.
It's
not
an
easy
one.
The
multi-use
ice
facility
has
been
in
discussion
for
years,
probably
since
I
was
in
high
school,
which
is
getting
to
be
a
few
years
longer
than
I
care
to
admit
most
sometimes,
but
our
current
facility
is
limping
along
at
best.
I
don't
have
to
tell
you
that
I
mean
we
are
constantly
running
into
issues
with
compressors
and
ice
issues
and
things
of
that
nature.
K
Our
community
is
clamoring
for
flat
floor
space
as
well.
You
know
the
the
other
question
we
get
asked
is:
what
do
you
do
with
the
current
ice
arena?
You
know.
Frankly,
the
old
armory
is
the
number
one
utilized
facility
that
we
have
and
it's
it's
only
utilized
for
flat
floor
space.
So
you
know
that
argument
about
what
you
do
with
the
mace
as
it
sits
right
now.
I
think
we
can
answer
that
one
pretty
pretty
quickly
as
well,
and
I
know
eric
you
have
kids
that
are
in
you
know,
other
sports.
K
That
would
I'm
sure,
use
it
and
anyone
that
does
soccer
I'm
sure
that
falls
into
it
as
well.
You
know
eric
touched
on
it
that
it
is.
It
brings
in
lots
of
money
and
marcy.
K
I
I
know
these
people
that
come
to
town,
that
for
figure
skating
and
hockey,
both
I
spend
money
because
I'm
one
of
those
people
you
know
is
it
is
one
of
those
items
that
you
don't
go
for
one
day
I
mean,
and
if
you
do
go
you
you
know
you
go
out
to
eat
a
couple
times
you
you
have
to
get
gas,
you
have
to
get
other
items
and
if
you
have
kids
like
mine,
that's
they
got
to
eat
every
two
hours
it
seems
like.
K
So
so
I
want
to
thank
you
guys
both
for
coming
the
figure
skating
events.
You
know
we
we're
underutilized
for
that
plain
simple
in
hockey,
there's
there's
constant,
but
the
thing
that
we
have
to
realize
as
a
community:
it's
not
just
ice
hockey,
it's
not
just
figure
skating.
K
K
You
know
one
side
most
likely
would
be
utilized
for
I
would
assume,
between
10
and
a
half
and
11
months,
based
on
the
information
that
we've
been
provided
from
an
ice
committee
which
means
that
11
months
out
of
the
year
you
can,
you
can
host
some
sort
of
ice
event.
The
other
side
is
is
getting
utilized
for
concerts
or
craft
shows,
or
you
know.
Other
events
where
you
know
car
shows
that
you
bring
in
a
different
different
style
and
different
group
of
people.
O
K
Other
event,
as
well
as
parking
that
goes
with
it,
so
parking
lot
is
sometimes
just
as
good
as
anything
else.
You
know.
So
we
we
have
to
look
at
this
as
not
just
a
ice
facility.
I
think
that's
to
reid's
point
as
well.
It's
a
multi-use
ice
facility,
yeah,
there's
ice
in
it,
but
we
have
to
have
to
look
at
the
big
picture
of
it
and
utilize
it.
You
know
year
round.
K
It's
the
only
way
that
gets
done,
the
the
naysayers
that
are
out
there
say
that
we
can't
compete
with
your
rapid
city
and
sioux
falls.
I'm
sure
you
guys
hear
the
same
thing
that
that's
not
true,
you
know
hockey
especially,
is
done
on
a
rotation
basis.
They
look
at
the
overall
community,
it's
how
many
hotel
rooms,
how
many
you
know!
What's
the
traffic?
What's
the
you
know,
what's
the
food
situation,
can
you
get
people
in
and
out?
K
You
know
that
all
spurs
economic
development
across
our
entire
community-
and
it's
not
you-
know
the
million
dollars.
I
believe,
brookings
put
out
a
couple
years
ago.
There
was
an
economic
impact
from
from
the
larsen
ice
facility
over
one
year
and
they
don't
even
have
a
minor
league
team
anymore,
so
they
are
utilized
by
their
college
by
the
locals.
There's
you
know,
there's
open
skate,
there's
figure
skate,
there's
hockey,
they
also
have
concerts
and
other
events
that
are
constantly
being
utilized.
So
that's
how
it
has
to
be
envisioned.
K
A
Q
I
guess
I
would
have
a
question
I
know
the
answer,
but
for
the
council
I
want
to
be
open
and
transparent.
So
would
you
explain
that
some
of
these
donations
would
come
in
the
form
of
in-kind.
N
Yes,
ours,
like
I
said,
is
a
mixture
of
in-kind.
We
have
connections
with
locker
room
installation.
We
also
have
some,
you
know
fairly
substantial
financial
commitments,
so
it
would
be
a
combination.
We
also
could
get
creative
in
doing
some
other
things
within
the
building
that
need
that.
Maybe
you
would
hire
out
that
we
could
help
complement
so
really.
In
the
end,
we
want
to
do
whatever
it
is,
whatever
it
takes
to
get
this
new
complex,
built,
excellent.
R
Yeah,
I
just
echo
marcy's
sentiment:
it's
some
in-kind
donation,
saving.
You
know
being
able
to
pull
some
things
out
of
the
budget.
Dasher
boards,
things
like
that
finishing
out,
locker
rooms,
and
you
know
on
the
back
end
too.
My
my
theory
is
that
that
may
provide
the
the
city
and
the
community,
the
city
council,
wanting
to
be
prudent
about
spending
our
funds
with
some
back
end
assurances.
If
those
things,
if
we
don't
raise
the
money
or
if
we
don't
do
those
things,
then
we
don't
have
a
facility
we
can
use.
R
S
S
I
don't
know
how
many
people
are
aware
of
this,
but
we
actually
lost
a
family
of
this
community
because
of
hockey
and
the
couple
that
left
watertown
with
their
children.
They
were
making
good
money
and
they
just
didn't
feel
that
we
had
adequate
facility
here
for
hockey
when
companies
are
looking
to
move
to
a
community,
they
look
and
see
what
you
know,
not
just
what
the
labor
force
is,
but
they
also
look
to
see.
S
S
E
S
Keep
hearing
you
know
for
the
last
20
years.
I
mean
that
thing's
been
running
on
borrowed
time
for
as
long
as
I
can
remember-
and
you
know
if
we
have
to
bond
for
this
and
wrap
it
with
something
else,
but
have
we
ever
done
a
survey
or
a
study?
You
know
with
the
rest
of
the
general
community
to
see
where
they're
at
with
this
I
mean,
who
knows,
maybe,
for
the
last
10
years,
they've
been
ready.
The
community's
been
ready
to
bond
for
this,
but
we
just
never
knew
about
it.
S
K
Councilman
lollum
just
to
councilman
rodamski's
point
there
actually
kwat
had
that
on
their
that
survey
up
on
facebook,
which
you
know
you
take
that
with
a
grain
of
assault.
But
you
know
they
had
over
3000
respondents,
and
that
was,
I
believe,
70
70
plus
percent,
that
were
in
favor
of
it
and
versus
the
30
against
okay.
E
A
E
And
jason's
comments,
I
respect
the
question.
I
I
think
part
of
the
answer
is:
it
came
through
loud
and
clear
in
h2o,
2020.
E
A
P
But
good
mayor,
thank
you.
Kyle
lala,
my
mom
was
on
the
implementation
and
steering
committee
for
the
age
2020
and
and
like
councilman
roby
just
indicated,
the
the
proof
is
in
the
document
that
was
approved
overwhelmingly
by
the
by
the
voters
of
of
the
community,
with,
I
believe,
70
to
73
percent
of
the
respondents
approving
the
bond
that
was
already
addressed
for
the
quality
of
life
multi-purpose
facility,
wellness
center
multi-purpose
facility,
softball
complex
and
ice
arena.
So
you
know
that
voice
has
already
been
heard.
P
You
couple
that
with
what
the
radio
station
had
on
their
website
as
far
as
as
their
survey
as
well,
I
think
that
was
predicated
on
a
location
more
so
than
it
was
the
actual
need
for
it
and
then
to
councilman.
P
If
you
track
the
sales
numbers
based
on
the
tournaments,
that
they've
had
for
the
well
one
season
at
the
softball
complex,
the
premier,
softball
complex,
and
what
the
basketball
tournaments
have
done
with
with
the
collegiate
basketball
tournament.
That
was
here
which
absolutely
just
canceled
from
the
wellness
center,
the
swim
meets
and
the
tournaments
is
there.
So
the
the
the
community
has
already
already
spoken
in
this
regard,
and
you
know
the
the
ice
was
the
third
part
of
that
stool
right,
the
third
leg
of
that
stool.
P
You
wouldn't
be
talking
these
big
dollars
because
if
they
built
that
for
5
million
or
3
million
or
4
million
20
over
the
top
of
that,
that's
another
million
too
so
you'd
be
looking
at
6
versus
the
15
that
was
proposed
today
or
the
number
that's
floated
around
in
the
community
versus
the
8
to
10
than
it
was
a
number
of
years
ago.
So
as
far
as
the
h2o20
visioning
group
is
concerned,
that
that
that
piece
has
already
been
approved
by
the
voters
and
bonded.
P
So
I
appreciate
your
time
and
commitment
and
continuing
to
bring
this
up.
It's
it's
difficult
to
navigate
those
waters
when
you're
looking
at
taxpayer
funds.
But
if
you
look
at
the
economic
driver
for
it
and
the
fact
that
the
the
community
has
already
overwhelmingly
approved
it,
you
know
that
goes
back
into
that
quality
of
life
bond,
so
so
kudos
to
you
for
for
continuing
to
to
to
keep
the
pedal
down,
because,
like
mr
rademski
said,
I
mean
when
you're
attracting
businesses
and
we've
got
four
months
of
winter.
P
We
still
have
things
and
facilities
for
the
the
the
employees,
their
families
and
things
to
do.
We've
got
a
great
school
system.
You've
got
a
walking
path
and,
and-
and
things
like
that,
that
are
open
year
round
pretty
much
when
we,
when
we
snow
snowplow,
those
and
you've
got
other
things
to
do
so
so
appreciate
your
time
and
commitment
to
that
councilman,
helene
and
everybody
else,
and
congratulations
to
you
guys
for
for
showing
your
commitment
to
it
too.
So
thank.
R
Yeah
eric
scout
again
and
I'm
wearing
my
my
builder
and
my
real
estate,
professional
hat,
I
can.
I
can
verify
that
we
have
a
lot
of
people
looking
from
minnesota
and
I
think
kyle
would
tell
you
the
same
thing.
People
are
moving
here,
a
lot
of
people
again
from
minnesota
because
of
proximity,
because
we
have
lakes,
because
it's
a
similar
climate
they're
looking
at
watertown
very
closely
and
and
as
we
all
know,
hockey
is
a
religion
in
minnesota.
R
Q
Mayor,
I
do
have
a
little
bit
more
information
to
reveal
to
the
council
tonight
and
to
the
public.
I
did
want
to
say
some
of
the
things
like
it's
it's
long
overdue
to
find
a
resolution
to
this.
I
think
everyone
wants
one
and
then
the
comments
have
been
made,
how,
unlike
other
large
budget
items
for
the
city,
this
one
brings
in
money.
Now
I
don't
want
to
say
I
actually
am
in
favor
of
the
other
large
budget
items.
Q
I
just
I
just
want
ice
or
a
resolution
on
multi-purpose
ice
to
take
precedence
because
it
has
been
on
the
minds
of
the
community
for
the
longest
and
it
is
also
very
large
and
complicated.
So
I
wanted
to
take
precedence,
but
the
information
I
would
like
to
reveal
tonight
is:
I
have
already
been
contacted
by
a
junior
professional
team
that
wants
to
come
to
watertown
and
play
hockey
here
now.
Q
A
junior
professional
team
for
those
who
don't
know
are
mostly
like
college
age,
kids,
who
are
trying
to
gain
skills
and
maybe
bulk
up
actually
in
order
to
try
to
make
it
into
the
nhl.
This
is
similar
to
what
is
taking
place
in
aberdeen
used
to
be
in
brookings
down
in
sioux
falls,
and
it's
a
lot
of
fun
for
the
community,
because
it
gives
you
a
team
to
follow
a
place
to
go
on
winter
nights.
So
this
junior
team
wants
to
come
in
and
just
rough
estimates
for
each
game
night.
Q
I
I
took
a
boston
college
study
from
the
town
of
lewiston
maine
and
they
estimated
that
hockey
in
that
town
brought
or
the
junior
team
brought
in
20
million
dollars
over
10
years,
so
2
million
dollars
a
year.
Now
I
extrapolated
those
numbers
to
watertown,
I
scaled
those
down
drastically
considerably
and
I
basically
just
took
the
studies
across
the
industry-
are
that
a
person
who
goes
to
a
junior
league
hockey
game
will
spend
about
60
a
night
in
tickets.
Q
Food
drinks
and
I
did
600
people
a
night
20
games
a
year,
and
I
got
to
about
750
000
dollars
that
this
would
bring
into
the
economy
of
watertown
every
year
and
then
also
the
junior
team
itself,
because
they
have
to
come
into
town
and
they
pay
fees
to
the
city.
They
pay
fees
to
the
families
that
they
live
with,
and
then
they
also
spend
money
in
the
community.
The
estimates
are
that
the
junior
team
itself
would
spend
half
a
million
dollars
every
year
that
it's
here.
Q
I
am
already
telling
this
junior
team
that
we
can't
take
them
because
we
don't
have
room.
I
can't
tell
the
junior
team
that
that
they
will
get
precedence
over
the
children
of
watertown,
so
this
is
just
something
more
that
if
we
do
this
there
is
the
economic
intangibles
and
economic
impact
to
the
community,
and
that's
just
another
reason
why
I
think
now
is
the
time
I
just
want
to
stress
it.
Q
J
Guys
once
again
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
stepping
up.
I
mean
that
is
something
we
talk
about
all
the
time
of
wanting
to
see,
and
that
is
a
huge
investment
of
course,
as
we
go
ahead.
Looking
at
this
complex
problem
set
just
know
that
does
involve
things
like
if
we
bring
in
a
junior
team.
J
So
again,
thank
you
for
stepping
up
and
showing
up
with
it.
This
won't
get
done
overnight,
of
course,
but
there's
still
a
lot
of
planning
that
needs
to
go
into
it.
So
thank
you.
K
Actually
to
councilman
hoyter's
point:
typically,
the
junior
league
team
would
actually
practice
during
the
day
when
it's
not
figure
skating
time
or
they.
T
K
A
K
J
Along
those
lines-
or
maybe
it's
a
conversation
for
another
day-
I
don't
know,
but
since
he
had
an
answer
with
that,
did
you
guys
talk
about
then
to
the
public's
use
of
the
facility
for
open,
skate
and
stuff
and
how
that
would
impact?
I
know
there
would
probably
be
some
questions
on
that.
K
One
of
the
things
that
we
as
an
ice
committee
has
talked
about
is,
is
it
can't
be
simply
for
everyone
else?
I
mean
our
our
actual
citizens
need
to
use
it
as
well,
and
I
think
the
user
groups-
and
I
would
assume
that
the
you
know,
a
junior
league
team
would
look
at
the
same
thing.
That
open
skate
is
something
that
we
used
to
have
five
days
a
week,
now
we're
down
to
two
and
it's
for
an
hour
at
a
time
depending
on
your
age
group.
K
D
K
A
A
We
actually
voted
on
the
wellness
center
and
it
it
not
to
take
anything
away
from
the
ice
arena
that
was
in
our
vision
plan
to
do
the
ice
arena.
The
bonds
that
were
voted
on
were
for
the
wellness
center
and
I'll
just
read
it.
Anybody
can
find
this.
It's
a
public
document,
watertown
city
council
adopted
resolution
1409
march
17
2014
authorizing
the
city
to
perform
all
acts
necessary
to
complete
the
construction
of
a
multi-use
facility
within
and
for
the
city
of
watertown.
This
resolution
was
referred
to
the
voters
by
petition
resolution.
A
All
right.
Moving
on
to
item
g
approval
of
creation
of
city
council
subcommittee
to
formulate
recommendations
regarding
mayoral
job
expectations
under
the
impending
city
manager,
form
of
government
and
to
report
such
recommendations
back
to
the
full
council-
and
this
was
put
on
at
the
request
of
the
council
president
vice
president.
So
I'll
leave
it
to
you
guys.
Q
Thank
you
mayor
as
the
public
and
the
council
will
know.
At
the
last
meeting,
we
formed
a
committee
to
define
and
delineate
the
role
of
the
mayor
going
forward
in
the
new
form
of
government
with
the
city
manager
and
after
the
formation
of
that
committee,
we
ran
into
some
difficulties
regarding
the
makeup
and
the
personnel
on
it
and
in
finding
trying
to
find
a
resolution.
Q
Q
Several
members
of
that
committee
actually
reached
out
to
me
and
said
the
mechanism
for
doing
this
was
actually
spelled
out
in
the
process
and
when
the
people
of
watertown
voted,
it
was
actually
spelled
out
in
the
proposal
brought
forward
to
the
home
rule
charter.
So
I
thought
that
the
best
resolution
was
to
go
back
to
what
the
people
of
watertown
voted
on
and
that
was
spelled
out
in
the
home
rule
charter
presentation
and
what
they
voted
on.
So
with
that
said,
I
think
the
best
explanation
would
come
from
someone
on
the
home
rule
charter.
Q
Now
many
people
reached
out
to
me
and
as
far
as
I
know,
they
talked
and
the
person
who
came
forward
was
the
president
of
that
committee.
Kyle
olam,
reached
out
to
me
and
he's
willing
to
just
talk
about
how
this
was
already
spelled
out.
So
the
motion
tonight
will
be
to
basically
supersede
the
previous
committee
with
a
new
committee
form
tonight
under
the
guideline
of
the
home
rule
charter.
A
City
attorney
can
probably
share
it.
So
if
you.
P
Thank
you
kyle
lallam,
I
am
that
was
that
was
the
chairperson
for
the
homeworld
charter
review
committee
or
commission
that
was
formulated
in
2019.
So
if
we
could
pull
up
the
actual
home
rule
charter
document,
that
is
on
the
city's
website,.
P
So
and
the
reason
that
I'm
here
is
my
coach
here,
my
vice
chair,
byron,
khalis,
who
had
agreed
to
serve
on
your
guys's
task
force,
is
a
volunteer
and
driving
the
arrows
to
aberdeen
for
basketball
tonight,
so
he's
unable
to
attend.
So
I
am
here
in
his
stead
so
and
part
of
the
reason
is
that
I'm
that
I'm
here
is,
I
I've
been
contacted
myself
as
of
late
into.
P
Why
well
I'll,
just
read
the
statement
that
I
got
an
email
to
the
council
with
some
follow-up
here
so
now,
if
you
could
just
bear
with
me
for
a
second
and
if
you
could
pull
up
page
page
three
on
that
document
heath.
Are
you
driving
the
bus
on
that?
Thank
you.
P
P
So
here's
the
email
in
the
in
the
attachments
which
one
of
these
is
the
attachment
that
I
sent
to
all
the
council
members
yesterday.
I
said
council
good
afternoon
and
happy
martin
luther
king
day.
I've
had
a
number
of
residents
reach
out
to
me
inquiring
about
the
city
manager,
mayor
positions
as
of
late,
and
they
have
voiced
concerns
as
to
why
the
mayor
would
reference
the
need
for
office
space
for
a
new
city
manager
as
part
of
the
justification
for
purchasing
the
wells.
P
Fargo
building
the
comments,
mostly
surrounded
by
public
presentations,
where
they
were
led
to
believe
that
the
mayor
would
be
a
part-time
position.
I
reminded
them
that
our
presentation
did
indicate
a
part-time
position
and
salary
adjustment
to
that
effect,
but
the
ultimate
decision
lied
both
in
the
duties
both
for
the
duties
and
compensation,
allied
strictly
in
the
hands
of
the
current
city
council
members.
P
If
you
have
access
to
my
facebook
page,
I
did
record
the
presentation
at
the
watertown
event:
center's
heritage
theater
on
june
6
2019.
It
is
under
my
pictures
and
videos
if
you
so
choose
to
explore
further.
You
could
fast
forward
to
about
the
14
minute
mark
to
get
to
one
of
the
slides
that
I
referenced
in
or
the
attachment
that
I
sent
to
the
council
members
attached
to
some
information
for
your
consider
consideration
regarding
the
mayor
and
city
manager
positions.
As
I
see
it
is
on
the
agenda
for
tomorrow's
meeting.
P
One
is
a
new
survey
completed
by
the
icman
just
for
a
refresher
for
the
council
and
for
the
citizens
of
watertown.
The
icma
is
the
international
city
county
managers
association,
and
that
was
some
some
a
group
that
we
relied
heavily
on.
As
this
home
rule
charter
review,
commission
moved
forward
for
their
expertise,
insight
and
contacts
through
city
manager,
forms
of
government.
P
I
have
highlighted
a
few
sections
in
each
of
the
documents
to
bring
attention
to
what
the
voters
of
watertown
overwhelmingly
approved
at
the
ballot
box.
I've
also
included
three
shots
of
the
powerpoint
presentation
I
made
to
public
at
the
public
educational
s
sessions.
Excuse
me
regarding
the
2018
salary
for
council
on
part-time
mayors
in
south
dakota
operating
under
the
city
manager
form
of
government.
This
information,
in
addition
to
what
was
verbally
stated
multiple
times
during
public
presentation,
indicated
that,
based
on
our
surrounding
communities
with
similar
populations,
the
mayor
position
was
part-time.
P
They
are
not
as
there's
not
a
single
week.
Mayor
city
manager
run
government
in
south
dakota
that
has
a
full-time
mayor.
The
reasoning
behind
that
is
spelled
out
and
highlighted
in
the
sections
at
that
I
have
attached.
I
hope
this
offers
a
reminder
and
some
insight
into
what
the
community
thought
they
were
voting
on
versus
what
is
being
mentioned.
Currently,
I
appreciate
your
time
and
commitment
to
our
community
and
thanks
for
all
you
do
so.
What
I
did
was
was
I
pulled
out.
P
I
went
and
I'd
given
byron
my
entire
packet
when
he
was
selected
to
serve
on
your
subcommittee,
and
so
I
went
back
in
and
I
pulled
out
your
charter.
So
if
you
look
at
section
2.03
mayor
right
there
and
you
go
down
to
the
thereafter,
the
mayor
shall
have
all
the
powers
and
duties
of
as
a
city
council
member,
including
this
the
power
to
vote.
In
addition,
the
mayor
shall
preside
it.
P
The
meetings
of
city
council
represent
the
city
in
intergovernmental
relationships,
a
point
with
the
advice
and
consent
of
city
council,
the
members
to
citizens,
advisory
boards,
committees
and
commissions
present
the
annual
state
of
the
city
message
and
perform
other
duties
as
specified
by
city
council.
So
there
it
is.
The
mayor
shall
also
be
recognized
as
a
head
of
government
for
all
purposes
and
by
the
governor
for
purposes
of
military
law.
P
So
the
mayor
under
that
form
of
government
would
be
if
we
had
a
flooding
event
where
mayor
kieran
was
was,
you
know,
obviously
instrumental
in
helping
us
navigate
that
they
would
be.
That
position
would
be
that
point
of
contact.
They
would
also
be
the
point
of
contact
for
other
mayors
throughout
the
community
or
throughout
the
state
and
region.
P
If
that's
what
they
decided
to
do,
and
then
you
fast
forward
heath
to
page
six
on
this
document
and
at
the
bottom
it
says
article
3,
the
city
manager
and
it
talks
about
section
3.01,
the
appointment,
qualifications
and
compensation
again.
The
city
council,
by
an
affirmative
vote
of
the
majority
of
city
council
members,
shall
appoint
a
city
manager
and
fix
manager's
compensation
in
the
period
following
the
adoption
of
the
change
of
form
of
government
and
prior
to
the
succeeding
municipal
election.
P
The
existing
council
may
hire
an
individual
whose
appointment
as
city
manager
will
become
effective
upon
the
commencement
of
the
following
city
council
election
because
in
the
home
rule
charter,
your
document,
your
governing
document,
you've
got
a
continuation
of
of
of
elected
term
clause.
That's
in
there,
meaning
that
if
the
voters
of
watertown
wanted
to
have
a
special
election
to
move
to
to
expedite
the
city,
manager,
role
and-
and
all
of
you
would
be
up
for
re-election
at
that
point-
that's
what
it
did.
But
we
had
a
continuation
of
of
office
clause.
P
That's
in
the
document
and
that's
where
it's
at
so
again,
it's
kind
of
spelled
out
in
there
and
then,
if
you
go
to
section
page,
seven,
heath,
section,
3.05
powers
and
duties
of
the
city
manager,
that's
where
it
starts
to
talk
about
the
duties
of
that
individual
right.
That
position.
It's
all
about
the
position
and
that's
why
you
hire
that
individual
based
on
their
experience,
education
and
knowledge
of
that
of
running
a
municipal
form
of
government.
P
Just
remember
that
the
voters
of
this
of
of
watertown
approve
this
because
of
the
efficiencies
that
we
gain
by
hiring
a
professional
trained
city
manager.
So
it's
all
about
the
efficiencies,
and
this
was
a
transformative
vote
for
our
community,
because
the
residents
of
watertown
and
the
council
members
have
never
operated
under
this
form
of
government.
So
it
it's
it's
not
about
it's
all
about
what
that
position
looks
like
going
forward
right.
P
All
members
of
the
governing
body
all
are
and
will
be
elected
based
on
your
goals,
including
all
you
as
council
members
and
anybody
running
for
mayor,
because
that
form
of
government
change
within
the
home
rule
charter
triggers
an
election
for
all
council
members.
At
that
point,
and
that's
why
we
staggered
the
three
council
awards,
because
we
wanted
to
maintain
that
ward
position,
but
we
staggered
it
to
the
first.
P
The
three
three
would
have
a
two-year
term
and
then,
after
that,
it
would
go
to
four-year
terms.
That's
another
reason
that
we
wanted
to
raise
the
threshold
for
council
attendance
from
50
percent
to
85
percent,
because
the
governing
body,
which
is
the
council
and
mayor
going
forward,
need
to
be
in
tune
for
what
the
community
wants,
because
you've
hired
a
city
manager
to
do
the
day-to-day
operations
and
implement
the
policy,
vision
and
goals
of
the
elected
officials.
P
So
hopefully
the
elected
officials,
you
know
be
the
one
of
the
rationales
behind
having
that
threshold
raised
to
85
percent,
was
so
that
the
elected
officials
were
in
tune
with
what
the
voters
and
their
constituents
wanted.
So
so
that
was
one
of
the
other
things,
so
I
mean
in
my
in
my
real
estate
business.
I
understand
the
you
know
the
confidential
contractual
negotiations,
especially
when
you're
talking
about
buying
an
existing
building
like
the
wells
fargo.
So
that
wasn't
my
position
to
tell
anybody
that
reached
out
to
me
what
that
was.
P
I
get
that
I
also
in
in
the
development
construction
side
of
my
business.
I
see
a
tremendous
cost
savings
and
I
think
that
the
city
got
a
tremendous
purchase
and
buy
on
that
wells,
fargo
building,
but
to
utilize,
the
city
manager
not
having
an
office
as
part
of
a
justification
for
that
I
think,
was
cause
for
alarm,
and
that
is
why
people
reached
out
to
me
and
I'm
assuming
that
they
reached
out
to
you
as
well,
because
that's
not
what
we
said.
We
that
we
indicated
that
the
it
strictly
lied
in
the
council
decision.
P
However,
we
did
put
forward
presentations
and
slide
shows
in
there
in
one
of
those
slide
shows,
and
I
will
leave
this
for
you.
I
know
that
the
council
all
has
this
form
of
government
survey
that
icma
put
out,
but
one
of
the
one
of
the
slides
that
we
put
up
there
when
we
were
talking
about
part-time
or
pay
scale
for
council
and
part-time
mayors
was
that
aberdeen
we
looked
at
eight
communities,
aberdeen,
brookings,
mitchell,
spearfish,
vermillion
and
yankton.
P
I'm
sorry
I'll
put
that
back
up,
so
you
can
see
that
yeah,
where
the
highest
paid
mayor
a
part-time
mayor
under
that
at
that
time,
in
2018
was
mitchell
and
their
their
compensation
was
thirty,
four
thousand
one.
Thirteen
again
that
was
their
council's
decision
to
make
to,
to
put
it
into
context.
We
interviewed
brookings
city
manager
and
and.
L
P
Part-Time
mayor
and
their
mayor
made
9
600
in
2018,
so
so
here's
the
survey
that
I
referenced
and
that
I
mailed
out
to
you.
It
was
a
survey
that
actually
came
out
right
after
the
vote
of
the
city
of
watertown
when
they
elected
to
change
their
form
of
government.
P
So
just
a
couple
of
high
points
that
are
in
there
that
I'll
that
I'll
put
out-
and
obviously
it's
it's
here,
so
the
chief
elected
official.
That
would
be
the
mayor
position
and
this
as
far
as
this
document
is
concerned,
the
vast
majority
of
chief
elected
positions
are
part-time
and
receive
an
annual
salary
or
stipend
local
governments
rarely
place
term
limits
on
their
chief
elected
officials,
but
those
that
do
most
often
limited
in
two
terms.
So
we
had
that
discussion
as
well.
We
looked
at
the
I'm
sorry.
P
I
move
that
there
you
go,
we
we
we
had
that
discussion.
So
does
your
municipality
in
this
survey?
Have
a
mayor
or
council
president
or
both,
and
so
you
can
see
the
highlighted
documents
there.
Full-Time
or
part-time
83.3
percent
of
the
chief
elected
officials
in
in
your
governing
body
is
a
part-time
position.
Is
the
chief
elected
official,
a
member
of
council?
Yes,
because
they've
got
full
voting
rights?
P
Is
your
chief
election
of
elected
officials
voted?
Are
voters
elected
directly,
75
percent
of
the
respondents
to
that
survey
said
yes,
and
then
how
long
are
the
terms
in
their
four-year
terms,
which
is
exactly
what
the
voters
of
watertown
mirrored
in
that
regard
so
another
page
to
bring
highlight
to
how
many
council
positions
are
there?
Excuse
me,
I'm
sorry.
P
A
Thank
you,
you're
welcome
all
right,
councilman,
holin
and
lalum.
Is
there
anything
more
that
you
wanted
to
say
we
don't
have
a
motion,
but.
A
Q
We
have
something
to
debate,
so
the
motion
that
I
would
like
to
make
is
to
form
a
subcommittee
comprised
of
city
council
members,
with
the
full
consultation
of
our
hr
director,
julaine
pifley,
to
meet
to
discuss
and
bring
back
recommendations
regarding
mayoral
job
expectations
in
the
incoming
city
manager
form
of
government.
So
this
subcommittee
would
be
comprised
of
city
council
members
because
that's
what
was
spelled
out
in
the
home
rule
charter
commission
when
it
was
voted
on
by
the
city
of
water
or
by
the
citizens
of
watertown.
Q
So
I
think
this
would
be
the
best
way,
and
I
want
to
stress
that
this
subcommittee
would
also
invite
and
welcome
all
input
from
citizens
who
wanted
to
come
forward
and
speak,
because
that
is
also
an
incredibly
important
component
to
this
as
to
what
they
want
to
see
in
a
mayor
and
that
now
we
could
do
this
as
a
full
city
council,
because
that's
what
was
spelled
out
in
the
city
in
the
home
rule
charter.
But
for
the
sake
of
time
and
efficiency.
Q
I
think
it
would
be
better
to
do
a
subcommittee
and
then
the
subcommittee
recom
brings
it
back
to
a
full
council
discussion
with
their
recommendation,
and
then
we
can
discuss
at
that
point.
You
know:
do
we
want
to
do
this,
or
do
we
want
to
do
that?
That's
my
motion
is
to
form
a
subcommittee
comprised
of
city
council
members
with
the
full
consultation
of
our
hr
director,
jillaine
pifley.
A
Q
I
would
welcome
volunteers,
I
we
could
also
just
comprise
it
of
the
people
who
were
previously
on
the
last.
One
might
be
easiest
which
would
be
were.
A
J
Q
I'm
just
saying,
but
the
duties
are
way
more
important
than
the
time
put
in,
because
we
only
have
one
chance
to
do
this
revision
or
change
of
government
right
and
during
the
homeworld
commission
hearings.
They
heard,
and
I
have
studied
that
this
form
of
government
can
implode
when
there's
confusion
as
to
who
has
responsibilities
and
ultimate
authority
over
certain
issues.
That's
all
we're
trying
to
do
is
demarcate,
who
has
ultimate
say
in
say
or
in
in
issues
regarding
the
city.
Is
it
the
city
manager
or
is
it
the
mayor?
Q
Because
and
that's
all
we're
trying
to
do
is
I
liken
it
to
the
line.
Good
fences
make
good
neighbors
the
best
way
that
we
can
service
the
community
of
watertown
by
making
a
seamless
transition
of
government
is
to
specifically
spell
out
what
powers
the
mayor
has
and
what
powers
the
city
manager
has.
I
don't
care
how
much
the
mayor
works.
The
mayor
can
work
24
7
for
all.
A
And
I
I
mean
I
personally-
I
I'm
all
for
making
sure
that
the
public
understands.
So
we
don't
get
somebody
running
for
mayor
that
thinks
that
they
can
come
in
and
tell
employees
what
to
work
on
and
and
make
certain
projects
a
priority
for
certain
departments
or
anything
like
that,
because
that
would
strictly
be
off
limits.
But
I
think
the
charter
is
a
good
guide
for,
for
whatever
it
is,
and
I
I
don't
think
that
you
should
cap
the
hours.
It
doesn't
sound
like
you
want
to
cap
the
hours,
and
it
certainly
could
be.
A
Somebody
with
a
full-time
job
can
definitely
run
for
mayor
and
be
the
mayor,
and
somebody
can
spend
10
hours
a
week
or
5
hours
a
week
or
50
hours
a
week.
That's
all
up
to
the
individual
running.
What
they
can't
do
is
just
decide
that
they're
going
to
tell
the
park
and
wreck
director
how
to
do
his
job
or
anything
like
that,
and
so
I
mean
I
I'm,
but
I've
been
kind
of
confused.
That's
why
I
didn't
put
this
on
the
agenda.
I
like
let
the
council
members
put
it
on
the
agenda.
A
C
You
know,
I
think
this
is
you
know
in
my
discussions.
I've
had
with
other
communities
that
have
mayors
and
this
form
of
government
with
city
manager,
I
think
they
oftentimes
have,
it
seems
they've
run
into
problems
where
they
don't
have
definitive
powers
on
both
sides
of
that
fence.
I
think
for
for
us.
C
I
think
it's
going
to
be
important
for
the
council,
especially
for
the
council,
to
know
what
those
duties
and
activities
are
also
for
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
themselves,
both
to
know
what
what
direction
they
can
go,
what
the
guidelines
are
for
them.
I
think
that's
important
and-
and
I
you
would
mention
too,
for
people
that
are
maybe
entertaining
the
idea
of
becoming
the
mayor.
So
you
know,
and-
and
maybe
maybe
the
decision
of
the
committee
is
that
hey-
we
got
everything,
we
need
that's
good,
but
it
might
not
be.
C
C
K
What
that
task
force
or
what
this
subcommittee
comes
up
with
is
simply
clarification.
It's
about
the
job,
it's
not
about
the
person,
it's
really
more.
What
are
the
expectations
from
the
city
council's
expectations?
For
that
mayor's
position
going
to
be?
You
know
there
might
be
something
that
comes
out
of
there,
that
frankly,
we
never
would
have
thought
of,
and
I
think
our
community
as
we
go
forward.
K
K
A
D
Just
a
couple
of
comments,
I
followed
every
one
of
the
home
rule
charter
review
committee
meetings
as
well
as
kyle
lom's
presentations.
I
sat
in
through
all
those
just
a
couple
of
comments.
I
I
don't
think
this
group
can
it
can.
I
think
it's
a
good
idea.
D
I
don't
think
we
can
do
any
harm,
because
I
think
there
is
some
concern
out
there
in
the
community
as
far
as
what
what
the
expectations
are
as
of
as
far
as
the
mayor
as
well
as
city
manager,
you're
right,
michael,
I
think
our
homeworld
charter
is
a
very
good
starting
point
to
look
at
what
what
we
as
a
voters
voted
on,
because
I
think
a
lot
of
us
are
getting
hung
up
and
the
public
maybe
too
are
getting
hung
up
on
that
part-time
versus
full-time
designation.
D
That
is
not
what
we
voted
on
when
we,
when
we
went
to
the
ballot
box
back
in
2019,
part-time
full-time
has
not
used
it
all
on
the
ballot,
so
I
think
we're
getting
hung
up
on
that,
but
by
the
same
token,
I
don't
think
it
would
hurt
for
a
group
of
us
to
to
get
together
that
have
been
that
have
been
following
this
process
very
closely
just
to
review
what
what
we
think
the
the
expectation
should
be
as
far
as
our
mayor
as
well
as
we
as
a
council
because,
like
I
say,
we
are
hearing
concerns
from
the
public
or
questions
from
the
public
as
far
as
what
this
is
going
to
look
like
going
forward,
and
we
want
to
get
this
right-
the
first
time
around-
there's
no
doubt
about
that.
D
Q
Just
wanted
to
make
one
point
clear
is
nothing
that
the
subcommittee
determines
is
final
say
it
just
is
brought
back
to
the
full
council
and
everyone
in
the
council
and
anyone
in
the
community
who
hears
the
council's.
The
committee's
recommendation
can
come
and
testify
at
that
point,
if
not
at
one
of
the
meetings.
So
this
isn't
the
final
say
this
is
a
recommendation,
hopefully
to
just
provide
for
a
better
transition
into
a
different
form
of
government
that
the
people
of
watertown
overwhelmingly
voted
to
support.
A
Oh
okay,
I
have
little
strips
of
paper.
If
you
would
like
to
be
on
this
committee,
we've
got
six
so
far,
I'll
just
name
them
off.
We've
got
albertson.
A
A
I
think
we're
trying
names
foyer,
I
spelled
your
name
wrong
and
there's
one
I'm
missing
one
philhar,
sorry
glenn
anybody
else
wanting
to
serve
on
this
committee.
Q
Q
A
A
E
I
I
know
but
I'll
I'll
come
and
make
implement.
Q
Q
Yeah
and
definitely
michael
we'd
welcome
your
input.
Thank
you
for
being
chivalrous
and
honorable
there.
I
would
also
request
if
anyone
on
the
committee
wants
to
be
the
chair
by
all
means
say
something
I
would
do
it,
but
I
don't
need
to.
E
A
All
those
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
okay.
Item
h
is
update
and
discussion
on
the
design
of
the
downtown
plaza
in
consideration
for
the
future
use
of
the
senior
building,
and
this
is
just
an
update.
There's
no
action
I'll
ask
the
public
works
director,
heath
von
I
to
kick
it
off
for
us.
G
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
Some
general
context
here
to
the
discussion
tonight
is
that,
as
you
know,
we
formed
a
subcommittee
for
the
design
of
the
what
we've
been
referring
to
as
the
downtown
park
that
design
those
committee
meetings
have
progressed.
Now,
where
we
held
an
initial
kickoff
meeting
with
the
entire
committee,
which
includes
downtown
business
owners,
watertown
development,
company
city
staff
developers
and
business
owners
of
the
like.
G
And
then
the
committee
met
again
for
a
second
time
here
just
last
week
to
discuss
the
public
input
and
the
findings
and
the
progress
of
the
design
where
we're
at
now
today.
Is
that
we're
kind
of
at
a
juncture
in
the
road
where
the
city
needs
to
start
making
some
decisions
regarding
our
city
property
and
what
that
should
look
like
in
the
future.
G
Moving
forward
with
the
park
design,
the
park
design
can
can
begin
to
utilize
or
not
utilize
portions
of
city
property,
depending
on
how
we
want
to
manage
that
property
or
what
we
want
to
do
with
it.
The
property
specifically
in
question
is
the
building
location
of
the
current
senior
center
and
and
how
that
should
be
incorporated
or
not
incorporated
into
any
reconstruct
or
demo.
In
relation
to
the
park's
design.
I'd
note
online.
We
have
john
jacobson
with
confluence
he's
our
our
project
lead
from
our
consultant
side
of
things
and
justin
peterson.
G
The
assistant
city
engineers
been
helping
with
that
project
management
on
the
city
side
and
then
also
here
tonight.
Chris
hill
can
actually
ask
to
have
this
conversation
with
us
to
try
to
help
start
the
conversation
on
what
to
do
with
the
city,
property
and,
of
course,
jan's
here
as
well,
not
only
to
draw
the
name
this
evening,
but
to
participate
in
this
discussion
so
I'll
hand
it
over
to
chris.
If,
if
that's
okay
with
you
mayor
and
absolutely
discuss
further.
O
Thanks
mayor
thanks
heath
for
the
background,
during
some
of
these
conversations,
I
was
becoming
pretty
clear
that
you
know
this
is
moving
forward
and
we
want
to
team
this
up
and,
I
believe,
developer.
Jesse.
Craig
is
on
the
phone
too,
where
we
go
back
to
the
original
idea
of
building
a
new
senior
center
and
generations
and
then
revamping
the
old
senior
center
to
go
with
the
new
apartment.
Building,
that's
going
to
be
built
where
the
palace
apartment
is
so.
O
After
our
last
call,
it
felt
like
we
were
kind
of
at
a
tipping
point
of
you
know
we're
on
three
different
calls,
and
it
was
the
same
conversation
over
and
over
that
we
needed
to
make
some
decisions
moving
forward,
or
at
least
have
some
discussion
with
some
quick
decisions,
because
I
believe
the
timing
of
the
palace
coming
down
is
february
1st
and
in
order
to
kind
of
keep
everything
rolling
along
and
keep
these
visions
and
projects
happening.
O
A
decision
needs
to
be
made
shortly
on
what
to
happen.
What's
going
to
happen
with
the
current
senior
center
building
overwhelmingly
in
the
responses,
removing
of
the
senior
center
building
was
favored,
since
it
would
be
a
hindrance
to
the
park
design
and
also
too
back
to
the
original
idea
of
what
we
proposed
a
year
ago
to
have
happen
on
that
site
and
also
as
a
building
that
will
no
longer
be
needed
with
a
new
senior
center
being
built.
O
It
just
would
be
a
nice
new
design
and
concept
there.
So
I'll,
certainly
let
jan
weigh
in
I
know
when
we
first
talked
about
the
sitting
up
stairs,
we
looked
over
and
we
saw
the
palace
and
we
said
well
that
needs
to
go
for
a
park
to
be
successful
since
then,
it's
kind
of
snowballed
into
you
know
the
generations
projects
which
provided
a
new
senior
center,
which
opened
up
the
possibility
for
the
old
senior
center
to
be
removed
and
incorporated
in
a
brand
new
development.
O
I
also
want
to
say
too
that
it
seems
this
is
just
more
of
a
pitch
for
watertown
in
general,
we
have
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on.
If
you
haven't
noticed,
I
mean
we
are.
Our
vision
is,
is
becoming
reality
with
what
we
set
out
with
downtown
and
and
to
me
this
is
one
of
the
highlights
that
the
shrek
pointed
out
h2o20
pointed
out
much
like
the
ice
arena.
O
I
I
O
I
don't
think
we'll
see
this
type
of
activity
for
quite
a
while,
so
you
know
we're
we're
getting
close
to
once
all
projects
are
announced
and
completed
right
around
50
million
or
over
and
just
downtown
capital
from
investors
and
developers
into
downtown
watertown,
and
I've
always
said
if
we're
at
this
time,
where
let's
use
this
time
to
do
some
things
right
to
team
up
with
the
partners
and
make
that
investment
to
make
it
the
best
thing.
O
We
don't
want
to
have
anything
where
it
comes
back
and
five
years
later
like
oh,
I
wish
we
would
have
did
that
and
it's
too
late.
So
I
think
the
options
out
there
have
been
vetted
through
the
steering
committee
and
other
public
input,
so
just
want
to
throw
that
out
there
and
also
open
up
to
john
and
or
jesse
on
the
line.
F
Thank
you
chris.
This
is
john
jacobson
with
confluence,
and
I
just
want
to
reiterate
kind
of
the
the
the
foundation
that
chris
laid
out
and
jan
laid
out
for
everybody
and
and
with
he's
introduction
that
was
kind
of
a
good
mile
marker
of
where
we're
at
right.
Now.
I
think
the
important
thing
to
note
is
we've
gone
through
a
good
process
to
get
public
input
to
make
this
space
very
unique
towards
watertown
and
the
goals
that
you
want
to
accomplish
as
a
community,
and
so
where
we're
at
in
the
process.
F
Is
it's
it's
time
for
us
to
begin
kind
of
what
we
call
design
development
and
that
is
put
more
detail
into
the
plan,
start
working
on
some
of
the
materials
that
are
going
to
it's
going
to
be
constructed
out
of
putting
together
our
up-to-date
cost
estimates
and
those
kind
of
things
just
like
you
would
do
with
a
building
project.
So
with
that,
then
the
senior
center
site
is
just
one
of
the
the
pieces
that
needs
to
fall
into
place
for
us
to
continue
our
job
in
the
fact
that
we
just
need
to
know.
F
F
A
second
option
is
the
city
decides
that
they
that
you
would
just
like
to
incorporate
the
the
building
parcel
into
the
plaza
and
we
remove
it
and
construct
some
different
public
improvements
there
as
part
of
the
plaza
project
or
third,
it
gets
incorporated
into
jesse's
adjacent
redevelopment
project
to
help
accommodate
some
public
space,
as
chris
mentioned,
like
restrooms
and
those
types
of
things.
F
So
we're
kind
of
just
at
that
point
where
we
need
the
council's
input
and
direction
on
how
they
would
like
us
to
proceed
so
just
want
to
kind
of
set
that
up
for
everybody.
I'm
happy
to
answer
more
questions
in
detail
in
anything
that
you
would
like
to
know.
O
O
O
So
I
think
at
a
minimum
for
the
next
council
meeting
we
kind
of
want
to
get
a
good
feeling
of
you
know
we
willing
to
commit
to
the
original
plan
of
at
least
allowing
the
senior
setting
building
to
be
incorporated
into
the
ruins
project,
and
then
probably
shortly
after
that
decide
to
what
level
of
public
space
the
city
would
want,
based
on
some
of
the
feedback
and
plans
that
john
has
come
up
with
from
there.
O
A
E
Thank
you
mayor.
It's
been
a
while,
since
we
discussed
some
of
these
options,
I
just
want
to
confirm
again
the
building.
That's
there,
there's
not
a
lot
of
use
for
that.
It's
old
it's
a
little
under
under
maintained.
Maybe
I
I
just
I
I've
always
been
under
the
impression
that
there's
not
a
lot
of
value
in
that
building.
Is
that
still
a
fair
assessment.
A
D
I've
got
a
few
questions
for
who
may
be
able
to
throw
them
out.
I
guess
the
the
bigger
question,
in
my
mind,
is
not
being
part
of
the
design
team
or
whatever
you're,
calling
yourselves
what
you
know.
We've
kicked
around
a
two
million
dollar
ballpark
estimate
for
cost.
Is
that
still
in
the
realm
of
of
what
the
expectations
are?
After
looking
at
some
of
the
preliminary
designs.
F
F
That
said,
if,
depending
upon
the
ultimate
direction
for
the
decision,
that's
made
on
the
senior
center
site,
the
demolition
of
that
building
and
the
construction
of
public
bathrooms
in
lieu
of
that
building
were
not
part
of
the
original
budget.
So,
depending
upon
the
ultimate
direction
of
things,
you
know
we
might
have
to
make
some
adjustments
to
keep
it
at
a
2.1
million
dollar
project.
O
O
That's
for
the
that's
for
the
one
that
came
back
from
feedback
from
the
committee,
which
is
10
000
square
feet.
If
you
go
back
to
the
original
plan,
it
was
like
1200
square
feet
of
public
space
to
be
used
for
warming
house
and
bathrooms.
That
would
be
in
the
ruins
project
in
exchange
for
the
senior
center
location.
D
Jesse's
option
number
four
and
I
realize
that
the
public
doesn't
know
what
I'm
referring
to
council
members
had
a
chance
at
lisa
review
this
a
little
bit.
What
would
jesse
be
tearing
down
the
senior
said?
Would
he
be
responsible
for
demolition.
T
Yeah
jesse
craig
here,
quick
development.
Yes,
I
would
be
responsible
for
for
taking
down
the
senior
center.
That
would
be
my
cost
of
being
hurt,
as
well
as
putting
the
bathrooms
in
and
the
store
fronts
and
things
like
that
for
the
warming
space.
D
Okay,
thanks
jesse
in
the
options
that
were
laid
out
was
there
were
several
references
made
to
storage
space.
Okay,
what
kind
or
how
big
of
a
factor
is
storage
space
needs.
In
the
conversation
relative
to
the
senior
building.
F
So,
from
a
plaza
programming
standpoint
councilman,
we
feel
like
the
type
of
activities
that
are
going
to
occur
in
this
space
in
order
to
kind
of
keep
it
flexible
is
going
to
need
a
variety
of
elements
to
kind
of
come
in
and
out
of
it.
So
thinking
of
you
know,
winter
decorations,
holiday
type,
decorations,
summer
type,
temporary
play
items
and
activities
and
those
kind
of
things.
So
some
storage
adjacent
to
the
space
is
certainly
very
helpful
from
an
operations
and
programming
standpoint,
but
not
necessary.
D
Okay,
thank
you,
john
one,
last
question
that
I'll
give
up
the
floor.
I
guess
I'm
going
to
refer
this
one
to
matt.
Let's
say
that
we
were
to
look
at
option
number
four,
which
would
be
and
I'll
just
read
the
first
sentence,
or
so
in
exchange
for
jesse,
craig
buying
and
removing
the
palace
apartments
and
building
a
new
senior
center
in
the
city
will
d
the
current
senior
citizens
center
and
land
and
vacate
indeed
to
be
used?
Okay,
so
we're
gonna
be
in
effect
beating
that
over
to
jesse,
I
guess
legality
or
procedurally.
E
T
This
is
jesse
craig,
so
what
we're
running
into
is
that,
in
order
for
us
to
keep
our
timeline
with
the
park,
we
need
to
kind
of
know
by
february
1st,
whether
I'm
going
to
be
able
to
receive
the
senior
center
and
vacate
the
alley,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
it's.
T
If
you
can
imagine
how
long
john
and
the
steering
committee
has
been
working
on
the
park
thus
far,
I
need
enough
time
to
be
able
to
design
once
a
decision
is
made
on
on
on
this
to
design
and
engineer
and
bid
out
for
the
construction
of
the
ruins
project.
And
if
I
don't
get
that
decision
in
a
timely
manner
by
like
february
1
for
the
basic
decision,
I'm
going
to
fall
behind
the
park,
the
park
can
be
built
and
and
put
together
pretty
quickly
compared
to
a
60
unit
apartment,
complex.
T
T
Apartments
was
to
get
rid
of
all
the
sex
offenders
and
bud
bugs
and
all
that
things
to
to
make
sure
that
a
park
was
going
to
occur,
and
then
I
then,
in
turn,
worked
with
the
senior
center
extensively
to
get
them
to
agree
to
look
at
a
new
space
and
then
bought
the
property
for
the
generations
on
first
project,
and
then
now
can
you
know
in
the
midst
of
building
a
new
senior
center
for
them,
which
again
they'll
receive
that
you
know
close
to
twelve
thousand
square
foot
building
free
of
charge?
T
I
guess
it's
a
dollar
a
year
for
99
years,
so
this
was
just
the
last
part
of
that
intricate
dance.
If
you
will
of
moving
all
this
real
estate
around
and
building
these
projects.
T
E
T
T
And
what
what's
come
about
from
the
steering
committee
and
john
can
can
kind
of
maybe
weigh
in
on
this.
It
just
seems
like
the
the
steering
committee
and
the
public
input
was
that
they
needed
not
needed,
but
would
would
prefer
to
have
more
public
space
and
you
know
being
involved
in
those
steering
committee
conversations.
T
You
know.
One
of
the
things
that
came
about
was
that
you
know
if
there's
not
space,
for
people
to
go
in
and
get
warm
or
do
things
throughout
the
year.
That's
gonna
be
a
pretty
desolate
park
in
the
winter,
so
1200
square
feet.
Yes,
it
takes
care
of
bathrooms
and
a
warming
house
for
ice
skate
rental,
but
I
think
if
a
person
looks
at
the
other
uses
that
that
park
can
be
used
for
unless
there's
adequate
part,
you
know
public
space
for
other
events,
other
things
to
happen.
T
A
T
Yeah
for
me,
I
you
know,
I
build
apartments
and
and
commercial
space,
and
things
like
that
for
me
to
be
involved
in
and
trying
to
orchestrate
events
along
with
renting
out
public
space
or
things
of
that
nature.
It
just
it
wouldn't
work
out
very
well.
I
could
see
a
lot
of
confusion
with
that.
T
You
know
whether
it's
on
the
foundation
or
the
city
or
wdc
that
would
operate
that
park
and
line
up
the
events
for
it.
If
they
had
control
of
that
public
space,
I
think
it
would
just
flow
a
lot
better,
but
that's
just
my
input.
I
think
john
could
probably
weigh
in
on
that
a
little
bit
more
because
he's.
F
Thanks
jesse,
you
know,
I
think
it's
it's
much
like
the
overall
problem
is
much
just
like
the
direction
that
we
need
to
take
on
the
overall
resolution
for
the
senior
center
site.
I
think
that
there's
a
number
of
options
which
the
council
can
proceed
to
go
and
to
us
as
your
consultant,
the
base
our
base
recommendation
would
be
to
work
with
jesse
and
the
adjacent
redevelopment
to
at
a
minimum
provide
space
for
bathrooms.
F
In
some
sort
of
you
know,
storage
area
from
a
programming
standpoint,
and
that's
where
I
think
the
the
discussion
about
the
multi-use
facility
and
the
ice
discussion.
It
was
really
important.
Prior
to
this,
from
a
programming
standpoint,
in
the
plaza,
we
received
a
number
of
comments
that
a
lot
of
members
of
the
community
wanted
to
get
that
resolved
so
that
they
knew
that
refrigerated
ice
was
going
to
go
somewhere
else
other
than
this
space,
because
if
you
remember
refrigerated
ice
was
not
part
of
our
budget
for
this
project
as
well.
F
So
I
say
that
just
because
kind
of
to
bring
you
full
circle
in
the
fact
that
we've
received
a
lot
of
input,
so
at
a
base
level,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
have
restrooms
and
some
storage
if
there
was
to
be
additional
space
incorporated
into
the
redevelopment
project
that
could
be
ran
by
a
community
facilitator,
whether
that's
the
foundation
or
whoever
that
provided
rentable
space
for
artists
or
being
able
to
rent
it
for
different
shops,
be
able
to
rent
it
for
get-togethers
having
some
indoor
play
and
those
kind
of
things.
F
Those
are
all
uses
that
are
just
going
to
make
the
plaza
space
that
much
more
successful
over
time
as
a
destination.
And
so
we
would
really
have
to
work
with
jesse.
In
that
case,
over
the
course
of
the
development
of
his
plans
and
see
what
kind
of
square
footage
could
be
accommodated.
But
it's
not
necessary.
It's
just
an
extra
the
bathrooms
and
some
storage
space
from
my
perspective
are
what's
necessary
and
that's,
as
chris
mentioned.
That's.
J
I
would
just
kind
of
tie
it
back
a
little
bit.
I
think
this
is
a
lot
of
where,
for
some
of
us
we've
gone
with,
it
never
was
an
either
or
with
the
ice
arena,
because
if
we
do
that
really
well-
and
we
do
that
correctly
with
refrigerated
ice
that
meets
that
need
seeing
us
do
refrigerated
ice
in
the
outdoor
park
is
pretty
challenging.
Just
because
that
cost,
as
you
guys.
E
J
Is
just
nuts,
but
that
being
the
case,
I
mean
looking
at
that
space
and
if
we
approach
it,
I
know
it's
mentioned
in
here.
The
indoor
play
thing
I
mean
that's
something
you
almost
might
be
able
to
court
for
a
donor
on
to
help
assist
with
that,
because
watertown
doesn't
have
anything
like
that
either
where
those
of
us
with
young
children
look
for
things
to
do
in
the
winter
and
a
essentially
free
to
the
public
indoor
play
area
for
your
kids
would
be
a
heck
of
a
thing.
J
I
know
the
rec
center
works
for
some
people,
but
for
some
of
us
that
don't
make
over
30
000
it's
a
little
harder
to
facilitate
that,
but
it
definitely
opens
up
some
consideration.
I
know
that
I
stand
still
fine
with
handing
off
the
senior
center
just
because
there
isn't
a
great
plan
for
it
right
now
anyway.
This
facilitates
us
potentially
having
a
really
good
grilled
option
here.
O
Yeah
and
dab
to
mr
hoyer's
comments.
I
think
the
economic
impact
of
taking
a
non-tax
producing
property
and
putting
on
a
a
10
plus
million
dollar
property
over
time
will
obviously
give
back
to
what
you
know.
What
these
projects
are
supposed
to
do
long
term
is
create
taxable
value
more
tax
base.
So,
on
top
of
all
the
things
we
just
mentioned,
I
mean
that
to
me
is
one
of
the
biggest
ones
is
you're
taking
city
property
and
turn
it
into
a
tax
paying
project.
So.
A
I
More
of
a
comment
than
anything
and
chris
kind
of
answered
it
right
as
I
was
ready
to
ask
it,
but
I'll
make
the
comment
anyway.
I
too
had
always
thought
that
the
senior
center
would
become
part,
would
go
to
jesse
and
become
part
of
his
project
so
that
in
turn
his
project
would
become
part
of
our
project
and
you
know
kind
of
on
and
on.
But
I
agree,
we
don't
have
a
real
good
plan
for
the
senior
center.
I
We
are
starting
to
put
together
a
very
good
plan
for
the
park,
and
so,
if
we
can,
my
feeling
is.
If
we
can
facilitate
this
one
step
sooner
than
later,
then
we
can
continue
on
the
process
of
the
rest
of
the
planning,
but
I'm
hearing
from
jesse
that
this
has
to
happen
soon,
so
that
he
doesn't
miss
his
february
first
deadline
for
getting
his
project
organized.
I
So
I
personally
don't
know
what
we
would
do
with
that
senior
citizen
center
and,
as
chris
said,
that
was
my
point
too,
was
that,
let's
put
it
into
something
more
productive,
it's
a
building,
that's
outlived
its
usefulness,
and
now
we
have
an
opportunity
to
take
that
property
and
do
something
with
it.
That
is
really
going
to
be
a
benefit
to
downtown
and,
as
chris
said,
put
it
back
on
the
tax
rolls.
Q
Thank
you
mayor,
just
as
a
point
of
personal
preference,
I
always
thought
instead
of
I
always
thought
it
was
not
called
downtown
park.
I
always
thought
it
was
watertown
community
foundation
plaza
so
foundation
plaza.
I
I
like
the
name
better
than
downtown
park.
Q
Q
I
was
an
opponent
to
certain
aspects
of
it
like
the
downtown
tax,
but
that's
overdone
with
let's
focus
upon
what
we
can
do
for
watertown
so
making
this
facility
this
foundation
plaza
and
then
the
ruins
next
to
it,
a
better
is
what
we
really
need
to
do
for
watertown,
just
if
you're
gonna
do
it
do
it
right.
We
hear
it
all
the
time
in
this
community
and
I
really
do
believe
that
so
things
like
this
get
me
excited
for
it.
I
mean.
Q
Q
Q
I
really
do
believe
I'm
a
stickler
for
letting
the
public
have
input.
This
was
brought
to
us.
The
public
really
doesn't
know
about
it,
and
if
we
need
to
make
a
decision
before
february
1st,
I
really
do
believe
the
public
should
at
least
have
an
opportunity
to
weigh
in
on
this
and
mention
it
now.
That's
my
personal
belief
if
the
rest
of
the
council
doesn't
follow,
you
know
agree
with
that.
That's
fine,
but.
O
O
A
K
K
O
On
that
day
would
be
nice
for
timing,
but
I
think
you're
right,
that's
why
we
had
his
discussion
tonight,
because
that,
on
the
call
on
last
thursday,
it
just
felt
like
it
was
just
becoming
stagnant,
not
going
anywhere.
So
I
called
heath.
I
said
we
need
to
get
this
discussion
going
and
that's
why
we
asked
for
discussion
tonight
for
follow-up
on
the
first.
F
And
chris
is
a
follow-up
comment:
we
had
620
versus
individual
responses
to
the
public
survey.
G
Madame
I
was
remiss
in
mentioning
that
terry
kelly
park,
rec
director,
is
also
in
line
with
us
today.
He's
also
been
involved
with
these
committee
meetings.
So
from
a
park
operational
standpoint
I
believe,
has
been
able
to
provide
input
and
then
from
a
staffing
standpoint.
I
would
just
echo
what
what
john
went
into
detail
with,
I
think
having
those
restrooms
and
some
storage
capacity
at
this
facility
would
be
at
a
minimum.
What
we'd
want
to
target
to
do
now,
whether
we
feel
there's
other
meeting
space,
that's
needed.
G
I
don't
believe
that
the
survey
john
necessarily
was
specific
in
identifying
what
we're
doing
with
this
other
public
parcel
I.e
the
senior
center.
I
think
that
it
showed
renditions
of
where
the
building
would
go,
but
I
don't
think
it
necessarily
got
specific
on
you
know
the
city
and
doing
anything
in
a
public
private
partnership
or
anything
like
that.
Is
that
correct,
john.
F
Yes,
heath
you're
correct
what
the
the
main
insight
into
that
space
through
the
development
of
the
project
just
dealt
with
different
options
for
using
that
space,
whether
it
was
to
remain
whether
it
was
to
become
part
of
the
plaza
or
whether
it
was
to
become
part
of
jesse's
redevelopment
project
and
the
you
know,
the
bulk
of
the
preferred
options
and
feedback
that
we
received
was
to
have
it
be
integrated
into
the
redevelopment
project.
So
you're
right.
F
But
there
was
not
a
specific
question
asked
as
to
how
should
we
deal
with
that
city-owned
parcel.
G
T
G
I
was
just
gonna
say
I
only
mentioned
that
mayor
just
emphasized,
councilman
holiness
concern
for
having
that
public
input
in
a
clear
manner
expressly
related
to
this.
L
Thanks
mayor,
I
just
realized
that
sitting
here
listening
to
talking
about
this
foundation,
plaza,
which
I
think
is
really
exciting
for
watertown-
I
think
it's
a.
I
think
it's
got
some
huge
potential.
One
of
the
things
I'm
wondering
is
has
terry
kelly,
the
park
and
rec.
Have
they
been
involved
with
this
john,
because
I
can
kind
of
sense
some
park
and
wreck
facility
type
things
that
are
going
to
be
involved
here
when
you
start
talking
about
some
of
these
things
so.
F
I
thank
you
councilman
at
the
at
the
risk
of
talking
speaking
for
terry
he's
been
part
of
our
steering
committee
and
has
been
very
involved
in
all
the
discussion.
Councilmen
to
the
point
where
I
think
at
a
few
moments
he's
felt,
like
maybe
he's
talked
too
much
and
his
his
input
has
been
really
important
and
has
been
really
good
for
us
to
hear
and
for
the
steering
committee
to
hear
and
the
public
to
hear
as
we've
been
going
through
the
process
so
he's
been
very
integrated
and
supportive
of
it.
T
I
think
you
always
have
to
talk
to
matt
roby
on
that
to
make
sure
that
there's
some
language
in
that
agreement
that
I'm
going
to
be
working
closely
with
john
jacobson
from
confluence,
to
make
sure
that
you
know
he
and
I
or
mainly
him,
is
reporting
back
to
the
city
commission
and
that
he's
you
know
achieving
everything
that
he
wants
to
or
needs
to
in
regards
to
that
part
to
make
it
the
best
that
it
can
be.
I'm
not
interested.
T
You
know
the
reason
I
took
on
the
palace
and
the
reason
that
I
took
on
building
a
new
senior
center
and
things
like
that
was
for
the
overall
success
and
revitalization
of
downtown
watertown.
I
think
I've
I've
stepped
up
and
done
everything
that
I
committed
my
you
know
that
I
said
I
would
and
I'm
going
to
continue
to
do
that.
But
that
said,
I
think,
just
like
every
one
of
our
developer
agreements.
T
You
know
the
initial
kind
of
structure
of
that,
be
it
a
lease
and
you
know,
who's
taking
care
of
the
exterior
interior
things
of
that
nature.
But
I
think
I've
worked
really
well
with
matt
roby
in
the
past
and
been
very
successful
in
those
agreements
on
other
projects,
and
I
don't
see
that
changing
on
this
one.
K
For
the
sake
of
time
on
this
one,
I
think
matt
can
actually
go
through
and
you
know
maybe
put
a
couple
different
options
for
us
and
then
we
can
discuss
that
at
that
february.
First
meeting
you
know
and
then
we
can
get
a
definitive
answer.
Yep
yeah.
O
K
K
T
A
Okay
is
the
sewer
that
you've
been
talking
back
and
forth
about?
Is
that
that's
in
the
road
not
in
the
alley
right.
A
J
A
A
G
A
point
of
clarity
from
mr
craig
in
reference
to
the
alley
to
be
vacated
two
questions
here.
One
jesse
are
you
referring
specifically
to
the
north
south
alley
on
the
west
side
of
your
property,
or
are
you
also
referring.
E
T
That
goes
all
the
way
for
the
county
fair
or
was
it
family,
fair,
county.
T
Yeah
county
third
grocery
store,
so
they
need
to
be
able
to
get
their
semis
in
and
out
of
there.
So
this
is
just
the
north
or
the
yeah,
the
north
south
alley
that
runs
along
the
palace.
G
Okay,
great,
thank
you
for
that,
and
then
second
question
was:
are:
are
those
two
actions
mutually
exclusive
in
your
mind?
Would
you
take
the
alley
if,
if
the
council
were
not
in
favor
of
the
senior
center,
for
example,
or
do
you
need
them
both
to
make
progress
with
your
project.
T
G
F
A
Item,
I
is
review
of
the
continued
necessity
of
resolution
number
20-15
declaring
an
emergency
concerning
the
pandemic
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus,
covet
19
and
providing
for
responsive
measures
related
to
the
operations
of
the
city
and
protection
of
public
health,
and
so
we
have
this
on
our
agenda
at
every
council
meeting
and
bring
it
up
and
just
for
the
council
to
review
in
case
they
want
to
make
any
changes
to
it.
I
see
councilman
albertson
has
his
hand
up
dan.
Did
you
want
to
say
something.
L
I
did
thank
you
mayor.
I
think
we
all
got
the
letter
from
one
of
our
people
that
used
the
wellness
center
on
a
regular
basis,
and
then
it
was
in
paper
of
course
about
it.
So
is
there
something
that
we
should
be
doing
with
the
wellness
center
in
the
sense
of
helping
them
to
enforce
a
mandate
of
just
like
dr
sherman
had
said
in
his
letter
to
the
news
in
the
newspaper.
L
A
Right
well
and
wherever
you
go,
there
are
people
who
knowingly
don't
wear
a
mask,
even
though
they're
closer
than
six
feet
apart
and
they're
indoors-
and
I
mean
I
I
didn't-
want
to
put
the
staff
in
the
position
of
trying
to
be
the
police
because
people
get
become
belligerent
and
but
I
I
want
the
council
input
on
this
I'd.
I've
asked
terry
to
put
up
more
signs
at
the
wellness
center
and
and
terry
I'd.
Like
your
input
on
this
as
well.
A
I
know
that
extra
signs
were
produced
and
placed
up
there,
and
I
I
asked
a
citizen
if
there's
been
any
change
and
they
said
no-
and
I
think
you
know
there
are
just
people
that
don't
feel
they
the
need
to
comply
with
the
resolution,
and
I
don't
know
what
to
do
about
that.
But
terry.
What's
what
are
you
seeing
at
the
wellness
center.
M
Yeah
I
I
would
agree
with
that
statement.
Maybe
five
percent
more
usage,
since
we
increased
our
signage.
What
we're
seeing
is
you
know
people
now
they
re
they
read
into
the
fine
print.
They
basically
know
that
the
way
we
have
it
written,
it's
not
a
mandate.
You
know
we
ask.
We
encourage
our
staff's
at
a
much
better
job
at
the
front
desk.
If
the
question
is
asked
you
know,
do
I
need
to
wear
a
mask?
M
We've
trained
the
staff
to
say
if
you
are
able
to
wear
a
mask?
Yes,
we
expect
you
to
wear
a
mask,
but
they
have
learned
kind
of.
If
they
don't,
we
don't
have
the
teeth.
We
feel
to
do
anything
beyond
just
recommend
that
they
do
so.
My
conversations,
you
know
as
councilman
elberson
alluded
to
earlier,
is
you
know
if
that's
what
the
council
wants
to
do,
that's
the
direction.
Obviously
myself
and
staff
will
follow,
but
right
now
we
feel
handcuffed.
M
We
agree
that
the
usage
is
probably
25
of
what
it
should
be.
If
you're
walking
on
a
track
or
doing
light,
cardio
workout
a
mask
should
be,
in
my
opinion,
mandated
reward.
I
understand
heavy
cardio
you're
running
some
of
your
big
workouts.
You
know
it
is
difficult
to
breathe
and
maybe
there's
an
option
for
that.
But
people
have
just
got
to
the
point
where
they
know.
M
J
M
You
know
we
have
certain
areas,
you
know
our
pool
require,
you
know.
Obviously
bathing
suits.
We
require
shoes
in
certain
areas,
so
yeah
I
mean
we
do
have
some
some
kind
of
background
in
in
recommended
requirements
on
on
clothing,.
J
E
J
J
M
Right
and
I
guess
what
I'll
say
is
you
know
we
have
done
since,
since
the
onset
and
all
our
facilities
we
have
followed.
You
know
both
the
task
force,
our
board
and
the
council
on
directive,
so
I'm
kind
of
relying
on
you
as
the
the
sounding
authority
to
give
me
that
direction,
how
you
want
us
to
proceed
and
we're
happy
to
enforcer
or
how
you
want
to
see
fit
to
move
forward.
M
We
just
never
felt
as
a
staff
that
that
was
really
our
place
to
make
those
decisions
for
the
city
we've
kind
of
just
followed
suit,
on
what
you've
done
in
other
facilities
and
businesses.
Sure.
J
And
that's
a
lot
to
put
on
you
guys,
terry.
I
mean
my
family
quit
going
to
the
wellness
center
because
nobody
was
complying.
We
quit
using
the
hot
tub,
because
people
ignored
the
limit.
You
guys
posted
on
that.
So
I
mean
yeah.
This
personally
turned
me
away.
I
I
know
the
doctor
also
supposed
that
he
was
not
using
the
facility
anymore
either.
So
I
mean
it
does
turn
away
business.
J
I
know
some
folks
just
ignore
it,
but
I
mean
ultimately
it's
going
to
be
the
other
council
members
here
too,
that
are
basically
gonna.
Tell
you
your
left
and
right
limit,
I
suppose
on
it.
But
to
me
I
would
just
view
it
as
they're
coming
in
the
front
door
if
they're
not
wearing
the
mask,
at
least
when
they
check
in
before
they
get
to
a
reasonable
exercise,
location
where
it
would
make
any
sense
that
it
would
come
off.
I
mean
that
that's
a
pretty
simple
enforcement
measure.
M
M
You're
gonna,
you're
gonna,
see
signage,
you
know
prop,
you
know
we
didn't
make
it
look
like
a
pet
crew
t-shirt
by
any
means.
It
doesn't
look
like
a
billboard,
but
they're
very
well
placed
you
cannot
come
to
the
front
desk.
If
we
raised
a
question
to
say
you
didn't
see
a
sign
put
it
that
way.
So,
but
that's
been
about
a
week
now.
I
think
councilman.
D
Do
we
make
do
we
make
masks
available
for
people
that
I
mean
I
gotta
say
too
there's
quite
often
I'll.
I
still
can't
get
used
to
leaving
my
car
with
my
mouse,
so
I
got
to
go
back.
You
know
I
mean.
Do
we
make
maps
available
for
people
that
that
would
wear,
but
just
don't
have
them
or
forgot
them.
M
We
we
have
the
disposable
mess,
that's
the
city,
you
know,
they're,
not
they're,
not
the
behind
the
ear
behind
the
head,
they're,
basically,
almost
a
stick
on
along
the
cheek
line
we
received
them
from
you
know.
The
mayor
could
probably
help
me
out
where
we
got
them
from,
but
we've
had
put
it
this
way.
I
think
maybe
three
boxes
and
we
still
got
two
in
the
third.
A
A
It
will
take.
Is
a
city
employee
walking
around
with
a
box
of
masks
going?
Oh,
did
you
forget
your
mask?
Here's
a
free
one
if
you'd
like
that
might
help,
and
I
mean
I
know
that
the
staff
are
all
wearing
them.
I
I
just
don't
I
don't
get
it.
I
would
never
go
in
a
business.
That
said,
please
wear
a
mask
and
not
wear
a
mask.
I
I'm
not
seeing
the
lack
of
compliance
as
much
in
the
stores
anymore.
A
It
seems
like
pretty
much.
Everybody
is
wearing
a
mask
now,
even
though
our
numbers
are
down
a
little
bit.
Everybody
knows
there's
that
other
strain
of
virus,
which
is
even
more
contagious
when
it
comes
it's
going
to
be
fast
and
furious,
and
maybe
that's
why?
But
it
is
kind
of
frustrating
to
see
folks
continue
to
ignore
the
resolution
which
says,
if
you're
within
six
feet
of
someone
with
whom
you
do
not
reside.
You
wear
a
mask.
M
You
know
I
honestly
couldn't
answer
that
bruce
good
question.
I
I
haven't
been
into
one
and
I'm
not
aware
of
no
one's
came
to
me
with
any
other
comparisons.
Maybe
someone
on
the
council
may
may
have
a
better
answer.
C
A
I
don't
know-
and
I
think
it
is
because
it
is
hard
to
exercise
vigorously
with
a
mask
on
and
so
you're
going
to
have
the
people
that
are
running
or
swimming
that
are
not
wearing
masks,
and
so
the
other
folks
see
people
without
a
mask,
and
so
they
just
don't
wear
one.
But
I
don't
think
we
have
this
problem
at
the
library.
I
don't
think
we
I
don't
terry,
do
we
have
it
at
other
park
facilities.
M
No
by
far
the
you
know
everywhere
else
we
post
we
have
probably
pretty
close
to
100
compliance.
You
know
whether
that's
the
field
house
or
you
know
any
of
our
facilities.
The
wellness
center
is
by
far
the
the
biggest
concern
we
have
with
the
mask
and
I
think
to
round
out
the
conversation
is.
I
think
we've
got
to
a
point
that
we
have
people
that
that
respect
and
and
want
to
utilize
the
mask.
We
have
people
that
just
don't
think
they
need
to
wear
them
and
those
are
the
ones
that
you
know.
M
I
would
look
to
the
council
to
give
me
that
directive,
and
I
know
dr
sherman
did
say
I
believe
it
was
in
the
sioux-
falls
that
their
policy
is.
You
know
when
you
get
upstairs.
You
know,
there's
no
question.
You
are
to
wear
a
mask
where
the
downstairs
more
of
you
know
more
of
your
higher
end,
cardio
your
more
intense
workouts,
and
then
you
got.
You
know
the
basketball
courts
that
raise
a
question.
You
know
you
can't
do
six
feet,
but
it's
not
prolonged
contact
either,
but
there's
so
many
different
variables
in
our
wellness
center.
M
With
you
know,
some
are
low
impact
walking.
Some
are
high
impact
on
the
treadmill.
You've
got
basketball,
you
know
obviously
difficult
to
swim
with
a
mask
on,
but
even
if
we
can
mandate
that
they
wear
a
mask
until
they
get
to
a
place
that
guarantees
six
feet
apart,
you
know
I'm
just
looking
for
something
to
give
to
the
staff.
M
A
And
it
is
what
you
expect.
I
mean
I've.
I've
been
in
a
member
at
clubs
where,
if
you
walked
in
with
shoes
and
you
weren't
carrying
shoes
to
wear
at
the
gym,
they
would
stop
you
and
ask
you
what
you
know.
Where
are
your
gym
shoes?
Well,
I
was
just
gonna
wear
my
sneakers
nope,
no
you're,
not
you
turn
around
and
we
don't
do
that
here.
We
let
you
walk
with
your
muddy
shoes,
on
our
nice
gym
floor
and
on
our
track
and
most
people
don't.
A
But
some
people
do
and
we
don't
stop
them.
And
I
don't
you
know,
that's
human
nature.
I
guess
but
jason
councilman
rademski.
S
Terry,
when
these
people
come
in
to
the
rec
center,
do
they
have
masks
on
and
then
after
they
get
like
by
the
front
desk.
Do
they
think?
Okay,
I'm
in
the
clear
now,
so
I
can
take
my
mask
off.
M
That
is
very
typical.
As
far
as
adults,
the
youth
have
gotten
to
a
point.
They
don't
they
don't
come
in
with
them.
Well,
they
do
come
in,
but
they're
not
wearing
them.
Most
adults
will
come
in
I
and
I'm
going
to
use
a
percentage
of
maybe
80
come
in
with
the
mask
on
will
get
to
their
destination.
You
know
whatever
piece
of
equipment
or
location
that
is
and
then
remove
it.
We
still
have.
You
know,
I'm
going
to
say
a
third
that
do
utilize
them
throughout
their
entire
visit.
S
M
You
know
if
that
was
our
directive.
There
wouldn't
be
any
that
wouldn't
be
hard.
You
know
we
based
it
off
of
you
know
the
previous.
You
know
we
kind
of.
I
want
to
be
read
into
the
council
official
resolution,
but
you
know
we
were
very
cautious
to
use
the
term
mandate,
so
we
were
basically
saying
if
you
are
able
to
wear
one.
M
You
are
to
wear
one
unless
you
can
maintain
six
feet
of
distance,
but
at
the
same
point
you
know
part
of
that
said,
but
we
are
not
the
enforcers,
so
it
became
very
difficult
to
balance
the
two
of
us,
knowing
what
we
should
be
doing
want
to
be
doing,
but
we
felt
we
couldn't,
and
I
think
that's
why
we're
having
this
discussion
now
is.
Maybe
what
you
just
said
is
to
to
give
us
that
ammunition
to
have
our
our
site
supervisors,
our
front
desk
staff
to
say,
hey,
I
know,
you're
not
wearing
a
mask.
S
L
It
was
interesting,
thank
you
mayor.
It
was
interesting,
the
other
night
I
went
to
a
basketball
game
and
they
have
a
they've
just
put
in
a
mandate
now
that,
if
you're
going
to
attend
school
activities,
you
have
to
wear
a
mask,
including
the
kids.
Well,
during
the
course
of
the
game,
of
course,
the
kids
were
yelling,
and
so
on
and
a
few
of
them,
the
mask
just
disappeared,
and
one
of
the
assistant
principals
of
the
high
school
went
over
to
those
kids
and
called
them
down
and
told
them
to
put
their
mask
on.
L
I
must
have
given
them
a
choice
because
most
of
them
put
them
on
one
young
fellow
came
down
and
left
the
arena,
so
I'm
I'm
thinking
that
the
reason
they're
doing
it
probably
at
the
wellness
center
is
because
nobody
is
saying
you
will
wear
it
or
else
not
be
here,
and
I'm
not
putting
that
on
you,
terry,
because
you
need
the
mandate.
I
know
that
so
I
it
makes
sense
to
me
that
we
don't
become
the
illness
center.
Like
dr
sherman
said,.
A
A
We
want
those
masks
to
be
used
so
and-
and
you
know
it's
it's
pretty
normal-
to
see
people
in
a
mass
now
we're
all
kind
of
getting
used
to
it.
It's
not
that
hard,
so
councilman
hoyer.
J
Well-
and
it's
just
a
challenging
thing
too
carrie,
terry-
I
I
know
you
know
that,
but
I
mean
there's
still
places
in
the
community.
I
mean
even
at
kid:
pickup
for
school
you'll
see
teachers
that
don't
have
theirs
on.
So
it's
one
of
those
things
where
I
don't
know.
If
it's
just
that,
we
think
it's
2021
now
and
we're
past
it
or
what
but
it's
hard
to
get
people
to
just
stay
vigilant
with
it.
J
I
know
we've
gotten
awful
used
to
it's
kind
of
nice
having
it
on
in
the
winter
because
it's
cold,
but
I
it's
one
of
those
things.
It's
just
really
hard
to
enforce
it
right
now,
because
we
don't
have
an
enforcement
mechanism,
but
I'd
say
just
keep
doing
the
best
you
can
with
it
and
keep
in
mind.
I
mean
you
go
to
any
of
our
big
box
stores.
They'll
tell
you
if
you're
not
wearing
it
and
offer
you
one.
So
I
mean
if
we
can
get
to
that
point.
M
Well,
and
if
yeah,
if
you
don't
change
the
resolution,
we
have
the
same
languages
as
from
the
last
meeting,
I
think
just
to
retraining
the
staff
have
multiple
masks
available,
simply
do
a
better
job
of
going
around
and
just
just
asking
the
question
saying:
hey:
are
you
not
able
to
wear
one
kind
of
retrain
the
thought
process?
I
think
right
now
they,
the
people
that
don't
want
to
wear
them,
know
that
they
don't
have
to
or
don't
feel
they
have
to,
and
I
think
we
can
change
that
dynamic.
M
Just
just
training
the
staff
and
some
you
know
a
nice
conversation
to
have
with
our
our
users
say:
hey.
You
know,
we
appreciate
if
you
wear
it
now,
if
you
change
the
the
resolution
tonight
and
and
make
it
a
mandate,
you
know
that
makes
a
lot
different
too.
So
I
will
just
follow
the
lead
and
still
answer
questions
but
kind
of
listen
on
what
direction
you
want
me
to
go.
I
Yeah
I
just
wanted
to
piggyback
this
conversation
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
good
points
being
made
to
one
of
I
think,
I'm
also
seeing
a
little
bit
the
bigger
stores.
You
know
they
offer
you
a
mask
they're
doing
some
of
those
things
like
that.
I
still
see
people
running
around
in
target
without
one,
but
the
other
thing
I
think,
is
happening
down
on
main
street.
I
Maybe,
like
michael
said,
it's
20
21,
but
they're
kind
of
coming
in
without
a
mask,
and
I
don't
understand
why
you
wouldn't
respect
the
business
owners
wishes
or
the
mandate,
and
so
I
guess
I
want
to
put
it
out
there
to
people
that
please
follow
the
wishes
of
the
business
owner
and
respect
our
mandate
and
if
you
don't
want
to
wear
a
mask,
don't
go
in
that
store.
You
know
we
don't
need
to
have
people
going
in
now
kind
of
almost
looking
for
hey.
I
I
don't
have
to
wear
a
mask,
so
don't
make
me
so
some
of
the
same
things
terry's
going
through.
I
don't
want
our
business
owners
to
have
to
feel
like
they
have
to
have
these
confrontations
with
people
saying
hey,
you
need
to
wear
a
mask,
I'd
like
to
put
it
out
there
for
people
to
just
wear
the
mask
and
follow
the
the
you
know,
wishes
of
the
business
owner
or
don't
go
into
that
business.
I
A
Right,
thank
you.
Okay.
Well,
terry,
just
continue
what
you're
doing
and
we'll
get
those
free
masks
out
there
and
you
can
offer
them
to
people
who
are
not
wearing
a
mask
in
case
they
forgot
their
mask
and
hopefully
they'll.
Remember
that
next
time
and
and
not
hearing
any
council
members
say
they
want
to
change
our
resolution.
C
I
do
have
you
know,
I
do
think,
that's
very
valid.
You
brought
up
the
point
and
if
it's
true
that
this,
via
their
the
viruses,
got
mutations
now
that
are
are
way
easier
to
it's
way
easier
to
get
the
virus.
I
think
you
know,
I
think
we
got
to
watch
this.
We
got
to
stay
ahead
of
this
thing
and
terry,
you
know
I
just
think.
Maybe
your
people
suggesting
more
often
maybe
taking
a
little
box
of
masks
around
and
saying
hey.
C
You
need
one,
you
know
if
they
don't
have
one
on,
but
I
think
you
know
if
these
kind
of
things
come
to
pass.
If
we
do
get
this
other
strain,
I
think
we're
gonna
we're
doing
this
in
other
community
buildings.
I
think
we've
gotta
follow
suit
there
as
well,
and
I
think
you
might
lose.
E
A
Right
and
dr
sherman
pointed
out
that
cbs
morning,
news
reported
this
morning
that
there's
been
a
one
thousand
percent
increase
in
pediatric
cases
in
south
dakota.
A
So,
if
you're
going
to
partake
in
the
high
risk
as
it
comes
to
covid
and
the
spread
of
covid,
maybe
wear
a
mask
cut
that
risk
a
little
bit
c2
hands
up,
councilman
albertson.
L
Thanks
mayor,
what
would
be
the
reason
we
couldn't
mandate
masks
at
the
wellness
center?
I
mean
they're,
not
mandating
it
for
the
city
of
watertown
you're
mandating
it
for
one
of
the
facilities
that
belongs
to
the
city
of
watertown,
and
people
could
argue,
of
course,
that
that
that
that's
their
facility
then,
but
it
you
know,
I'm
I'm
just
struggling.
L
If
we
don't
help
terry
out
a
week
from
today,
and
I
asked
terry
how's
it
going,
he
said:
well,
you
know
what
that
not
much
has
changed,
because
people
are
looking
at
him
and
his
employees
or
his
colleagues
there
and
saying
you
can't
make
me
do
that.
There's
no
mandate,
and
so
my
question
is
what
would
happen
if
we
did
mandate.
A
A
What's
the
difference
between
that
and
using
the
word
mandate
we're
just
playing
with
words
here?
That's
a
mandate!
That's
already
a
mandate,
we
just
don't
say
the
word
mandate,
because
that's
a
naughty
word,
but
but
all
people
in
watertown
shall
wear
a
mask
when
within
six
feet
of
someone
with
whom
they
do
not
reside.
A
Okay,
all
we
need
to
do
is
that's
already
there.
I
don't
think
passing
a
new
resolution
with
the
word
mandate
will
change
anything,
and
this
is
the
rule
of
law.
You
wear
a
mask
and
we
have
people
that
don't
so
I
don't
get
it,
but
I
think
that
we
can
make
the
peer
pressure
a
little
ease
it
a
little
bit
by
passing
out
the
masks
and
making
them
more
readily
available
to
people.
Maybe
they'll
start
doing
it.
J
A
J
That's
that's
kind
of
where
I
think
it's
hard
for
terry,
because
it
is
a
business
you
have
every
right.
I
would
assume
whoever
manages
that
building
to
establish
that
because
we
do
have
it
as
a
mandate.
There's
no
enforcement
mechanism
legally,
but
you
have
a
right
to
refuse
business
anyway.
Don't
you.
A
Yeah
we
do
it's
just
he's
asking.
What
do
you
want
him
to
do
like
what?
How
far
do
you
want
him
to
push
it,
and
I
think
we
can
start
by
just
upping
the
game
a
little
bit
and
see
if
we
get
better
compliance
and
if
not,
then,
two
weeks
from
now,
we
do
have
another
opportunity
to
change
the
resolution
if
you
want,
but
I
can
see
there
are
people
on
the
council
that
will
not
vote
to
be
any
firmer
if
they
aren't
even
following
our
own
resolution
right
now.
C
Oh
sorry,
that's
right.
I
do
have
a
bit
of
old
business.
I
did
just
to
let
bring
everybody
up
to
speed.
I
did
have
discussions
with
the
the
folks
that
installed
and
are
going
to
repair
the
air
handling
unit
at
the
wellness
center
above
the
pool
you
know
just
to
find
out.
You
know
what
why
this
happened.
You
know
was
it
installation
was
it
manufacturers?
Was
it
somebody
involved
in
the
maintenance
of
the
facility
and
what
it
kind
of
came
down
to?
C
Was
they
believe
that
there's
a
heat
exchanger
that
has
a
leak
internally?
So
there's
really
no
way
to
for
us
to
be
able
to
see
that
it's
inside
the
enclosure
on
the
roof
of
the
building
and
the
the
belief
is
that
moisture.
That's
entered
the
system
through
that
leak
has
ruined
other
components
in
the
system.
Those
are
the
ones
that
they
need
to
have
replaced.
C
One
way
we
could,
and
they
even
suggested
once
that
heat
exchange
was
removed
from
the
system
that
they
could.
Actually,
we
could
actually
cut
that
try
to
find
out,
but
I
suspect
in
in
my
opinion,
from
what
I've
heard
is
that
when
this,
whoever
did
the
manufacture
on
this
thing,
most
likely.
In
my
opinion,
this
thing
leaked
from
day
one
because
we
had
issues
from
year,
one
with
this
system
and
it
progressively
got
worse
and
worse,
and
I
would
assume
that's
because
you
got
more
moisture
and
more
moisture
into
the
system.
C
So
it
probably
was
some
sort
of
a
manufacturer's
defect.
We
can't
we
can't
say
for
sure,
but
folks
after
after
looking
into
this
and
asking
a
lot
of
questions,
I
I
don't
think
we
have
a
choice
right
now,
but
but
to
replace
the
system.
There
is
a
warranty.
C
The
one
thing
I
would
say
is:
maintenance
needs
to
be
more
cautious
about
making
sure
these
systems
function
properly,
and
I
will
say
in
the
process
of
looking
at
this.
There
is
actually
a
component
in
their
system
that
was
put
in
to
to
take
heat
from
the
system
and
reintroduce
it
back
into
the
pool
to
help
heat
the
pool
and-
and
we
found
that
that
has
never
been
used.
What
yeah
it's
it's
sat
there
idle
and
it's
not
it's
yeah,
it's
not
been
used.
C
So
that's
something
that
now
we're
going
there
they're
going
to
look
into
that
to
make
sure
that
that
gets
utilized,
I
mean
we
paid
for
it,
it's
in
it's
in
the
system
so
and
then
also
there
were
some
issues
with
temperature
control,
the
in
in
the
water
versus
the
the
air
inside
the
building,
and
I
think
they
had
some
recommendations
for
us
to
better
control
the
temperatures
to
make
it
more
comfortable
in
there
and
still
balance
out.
So
we
get
the
pressure
necessary
to
to
operate.
S
C
C
System
and
and
the
the
big
the
good
news
is
we
found
out
that
that
we
we
have
it,
we
can
use
it,
and
but
the
the
other
thing
is
the
warranty
issue
on
this.
You
know
we'll
have
a
full
year
warranty
on
this.
C
C
It's
components
like
the
compressor
is
gonna
have
to
be
replaced
that
heat
exchanger
there's
about
three
three
major
components,
and
I
can't
remember
what
the
hell
the
other
one
is,
but
we
have
to
replace
those
three
major
components.
Unfortunately,
and
that's
the
cost
to
do
that,
so
I
I
think
we
don't.
I
don't
think
we
have
choice,
we
just
gotta
get
it
done.
A
C
Say
they
would
you
know,
but
they
they
they
kind
of
said
you
guys
could
have
this
cut.
You
know,
and
I'm
sure
I
don't
know
exactly.
L
A
C
You
know
mayor,
I
would
suspect,
there's
a
pinhole
somewhere
and
perhaps
internally,
where
it
was
soldered
or
or
in
the
material
itself.
But
again
I
think
this
should
have
been
recognized
year,
one
and
investigated
year,
one
when
it
was
still
under
warranty
and
so
we've
suffered
and
we've
actually
had
people
leave
that
you
know
aren't
swimming
anymore
because
of
the
air
quality.
A
A
None
any
announcements,
councilman
vilhar.
It
should.
