Malt
beverage
and
south
dakota
farm
wine
license
to
county
fair
foods
of
watertown
corporation,
doing
business
as
what
county
fair
foods
of
watertown
corporation
at
14,
2nd
street
northeast.
So.
E
B
B
I
will
make
note
I
don't
know
if
it
got
changed
on
the
one
for
the
park
side.
My
understanding
is
that
it's
actually
the
east
half
of
that
lot.
That
was
identified
so
the
initial
application
had
the
full,
but
it
is
just
going
to
be
the
east
half
so
that
correction
and
and
they're,
aware
of
it
too,
it
just
didn't
make
it
on
there
for
the
agenda.
B
A
F
Our
youth
consumption
rates
and
the
increases
that
we're
seeing
recently
with
2020
data.
We
are
seeing
an
increase
not
only
in
adult
dui
arrests,
but
also
an
adult
consuming
alcohol,
as
well
as
underage
consumption
violations,
and
so,
as
we
are
starting
to
see
more
and
more
of
these
applications
come
to
council.
G
G
G
G
G
Our
community
has
a
big
problem
already.
The
police
department
is
overtaxed
trying
to
cover
everything
that
they
need
to
cover
and
if
we
allow
additional
malt
beverage
beer
wine
licenses
for
on
off
sale,
I
I
think
we're
heading
for
trouble,
and
I
know
that
people
say
well:
it's
just
beer,
it's
just
malt
liquor,
but
actually
alcohol
itself
is
one
of
the
hardest
things
on
a
human's
body
that
there
is.
It
affects
every
part
of
the
body,
not
just
specific
organs.
G
Other
drugs
attack
just
specific
areas
where
alcohol
affects
every
cell
in
the
body
and
honestly,
a
12
ounce,
beer,
a
5
ounce,
glass
of
wine
or
one
mixed
drink
all
have
about
the
same
alcohol
content
in
them.
So
each
one
of
those
will
raise
a
person's
blood
alcohol
content
by
about
point
zero,
two
percent,
so
somebody
has
four
beers
and
that's
on
an
average
but
average
human
being
between
160
pounds
to
180
pounds.
G
H
Well,
I
I
don't
know
thanks
for
that
other
information,
these
these
guys
with
a
lot
more
brains
have
than
I
do.
I
don't
know
all
that
technical
stuff,
what
it
does
to
your
body
and
does
to
your
does
to
your
children,
and
I
know
what
it
does
to
me.
But
what
I'm
trying
to
get
at
is
I'm
here
for
the
businesses
in
town.
H
If
you
notice
downtown,
which
mayor
congratulations,
you
and
the
rest
of
these
guys
have
done
a
wonderful
job
downtown.
Putting
all
this
putting
all
this
together
and
I
think
county
fair
is
going
to
benefit
greatly
whether
they
have
alcohol
or
not.
I
don't
know
why
they're
looking
for
this
in
their
in
their
store,
but
it's
just
going
to
open
floodgates
but
downtown.
It
seems
to
me
like
it's.
H
If
you
look
at
all
the
places
that
are
open,
downtown,
they're,
all
specialty
shops,
like
I
own
dakota
butcher,
it's
a
specialty
shop,
we
survived
the
covid
like
a
lot
of
the
ones
did,
but
there's
a
lot
of
them
that
didn't
the
other
ones
that
survived
covenant
survive
very
well
in
in
these
type
of
communities.
Are
the
the
big
box
stores
because
they,
the
walmarts
this
the
runnings,
the?
H
H
So
I
guess
what
I'm
thinking
is
it
whether
or
not
the
the
beer
gets
at
every
gas
station
in
town?
It
won't
affect
my
business
so
much,
but
since
the
time
I've
been
in
this
community,
I've
learned
and
I've
met
all
my
competitors
that
own
these
liquor
stores.
These
are
family-owned
liquor
stores.
As
far
as
I
know,
these
are
liquor
stores
that
you
don't
have
in
other
communities
like
a
rapid
city.
H
H
It's
serious!
You
can't
just
everybody
in
town
we
take.
We
take
pride
in
in
all
of
our
stores
that
I
that
I,
that
I
own
and
I
work
at
making
sure
you
check
ids,
making
sure
you
make
sure
there's
kids,
not
drinking
or
or
even
smoking,
you
you
just
you
got
to
do
what
you
can
in
these
in
these
businesses
to
make
sure
that
only
the
people
that
qualify
are
old
enough
for
or
even
with
sound,
mind
are
the
ones
that
are
they're
buying
the
product.
H
H
I
almost
said
the
sea
work,
but
I
didn't,
but
what
I'm?
What
I'm
getting
at
is
we're
doing
a
good
job
in
watertown
of
of
caring
about
the
little
guy.
Caring
about
these
liquor
store
guys
caring
about
the
the
guys
that
are
doing
it
for
a
living,
not
this
county,
fair.
Are
they
gonna
survive
without
beer
and
wine?
Well
they've
been
doing
it
for
100
years.
I
don't
know
a
long
time.
You
guys
you
do
you
do
a
good
store,
so
you're
going
to
survive
it
walmart.
H
H
Well,
the
two!
Well:
okay,
let's,
let's
so
what
we're
experiencing
now
and
there's
some
guys
back
there
on
liquor
stores
can
tell
you
the,
but
the
way
I
understand
it.
I
I'm
not!
Even
in
my
liquor
store,
I
I
don't
do
it.
I
don't
even
drink,
no
I'm
lying,
but
but
the
point
I'm
the
the
point
I'm
trying
to
make
is
where
these
two
distributors
cannot
fill
all
our
orders.
Every
time.
There's
a
hot
item
coming
out.
H
They
can't
they
can't
fill
our
orders.
They'd
have
to
put
more
trucks
on
they're
still
going
to
only
produce
the
same
amount
of
product,
so
that's
going
to
limit
them
amount
of
places
where
the
new
product
is
going
to
go.
Oh
and
I'm
thinking
they're
going
to
probably
take
them
to
the
biggest
volume
stores.
First
of
all,
so
the
little
liquor
stores
are
going
to
get
they're
not
going
to
get
that
product
that
they're
short-handed.
A
H
H
I
Name's
john
may,
and
obviously
it
can't
really
state
much
more
than
what
randy
had
said
on
things.
Obviously,
there's
a
lot
of
different
rules
that
apply
to
a
liquor,
beer
or
wine
store
versus
many
other
retail
types.
Things
such
as
the
distributor
thing
how
many
people
you
can
actually
buy
products
from,
I
think
his
point
there
was
like
porters,
can
only
sell
you
miller,
lite,
it's
not
like,
I
can
go
to
sioux,
falls
dakota
beverage
and
buy
miller
lite
from
them.
I
I
I
Obviously,
we've
asked
other
community
members
that
are
in
the
business
to
do
certain
things
to
make
sure
that
they
can
be
part
of
the
business
like
whether
it's
a
separate
door
access
things
like
that.
I
see
that
as
not
like
it
is
kind
of
like
just
a
small
requirement.
I
guess
I
do
kind
of
see
it
as
being
a
small
requirement
or
small
request
by
our
community
in
general
to
help
protect
jobs.
I
I
None
of
that
stuff,
but
here
is
an
opportunity
for
a
community
to
say
well,
at
least
if
you
abide
by
you
know
not
abide
by,
but
if
we
ask
you
to
do
just
small
modifications
to
help
protect
job
availability,
I
would
see
that
that
being
just,
I
don't
think
I'm
I
like
these
guys
sitting
back
here.
I
really
do,
and
I
just
don't
think
being
in
the
grocery
store
aspect-
is
what
our
community
really
wants.
J
Hello,
brian
brand
right
here,
I
guess
during
covid
I
was
shocked
at
the
amount
of
online
shopping
that
started
happening
and
everybody's
sitting
in
the
council
chambers
today
wants
to
see
everybody
shopping,
local,
I'm
afraid
if
walmart
and
target
get
a
hold
of
this
and
and
they're
they're
next
in
line
clearly
we're
not
going
to
have
local
from
what
I've
observed.
I
think,
if
you
audited
liquor
stores
in
town
here
and
seen
if
they
lose
half
their
beer
and
wine
sales
they're
not
going
to
be
around
we're
not
going
we're.
J
I
I
hate
to
see
us
almost
take
out
some
local
business.
I
I
mean
as
much
as
I
love
county,
fair
as
a
store,
I'm
not
sure,
that's
the
place
for
this.
Personally,
I
really
do
feel
like
we're
going
to
see
some
liquor
stores
go
away
and
then,
at
that
point,
if
they
can't
compete,
they
may
all
go
away
and
we
might
might
have
to
allow
walmart
to
sell
hard
liquor
at
some
point,
then
I
think
that
would
be
a
travesty,
but
thank
you.
A
A
D
Michael
hoyer,
just
speaking
as
a
citizen
and
somebody
with
an
on
sale
off
sale
license
as
well,
so
I'm
sitting
here
today
as
a
councilman
or
not
as
a
councilman
excuse
me,
but
as
a
citizen
of
watertown
and
as
a
business
owner.
I
first
want
to
thank
all
you
guys
just
for
getting
together
on
this.
These
were
items
that
were
going
to
come
forward
at
the
last
meeting,
but
things
got
kind
of
backed
up
with
the
election
going
on.
So
it's
just
first
step
towards
the
customer
service
stuff
that
we've
been
talking
about.
D
D
Historically,
businesses
have
had
to
obtain
bar
tavern
conditional
uses
for
on
sale
and
offset
all
these
products,
and,
as
of
recent,
that
was
still
true,
but
has
now
changed.
Offsell
beer
and
wine
no
longer
need
to
get
enough
or
that
conditional
use
is.
It
was
deemed
inappropriate
within
the
definition
of
a
bar
or
tavern.
You
guys
are
familiar
with
that.
D
In
the
instance,
we're
looking
at
today
that
bar
tavern,
conditional
use
was
actually
unanimously
passed
by
the
board
of
adjustment.
County
fairs
met
all
the
criteria
for
this
to
be
deemed
an
appropriate
use
of
that
land.
Every
box
has
been
checked
and
no
issue
has
been
found
when
the
police
we
talked
about
this
with
bar
tavern.
D
You
know
we
asked.
Are
there
going
to
be
issues
with
it?
There
was
no
opinion
on
the
issues
and
they
said
that
just
doing
the
normal
standard
checks
wasn't
going
to
be
taxing
or
a
big
issue,
so
that
wasn't
the
issue
anymore.
So
why
do
we
say?
No,
when
all
the
requirements
have
been
met,
are
we
protecting
others,
individual
financial
interests
over
a
free
market?
I'm
just
curious
what
we're
doing
at
that
point.
When
we
get
to
all
the
boxes
are
checked
and
they've
done
everything
they're
supposed
to
do.
D
D
D
You
know
liquor
stores
in
this
scenario
that
we've
created
with
that
bar
tavern
you'll
still
continue
to
have
the
sole
right
to
sell
hard
alcohol
beverages.
We're
not
looking
at
doing
that
in
a
grocery
store.
This
is
just
simple
convenience
for
a
lot
of
folks,
especially
our
tourism
industry
that
comes
to
town.
D
This
helps
keep
our
local
small
liquor
stores
whole
and
gives
them
that
extra
space
in
the
market
that
we're
not
opening
up
to
a
bunch
of
big
box
stores,
so
we're
still
trying
to
respect
all
those
rights
as
well,
because
we
don't
want
to
see
anyone
go
under.
We
want
to
see
everyone
succeed
and
we
want
to
see
tides
rise
and
all
boats
go
with
it.
D
So,
with
this
request,
we're
just
simply
looking
at
beer
and
wine,
we
as
community
already
sell
off
sale
in
our
casinos,
many
of
which
are
attached
to
gas
stations
and,
quite
frankly,
many
people,
people
look
at
us
pretty.
Strangely,
for
the
amount
of
casinos
we
have
either
we
just
love,
gambling
or
folks-
have
had
to
jump
through
hurdles
to
be
able
to
do
this
same
thing,
we're
just
trying
to
simplify
and
do
like
many
other
communities
in
our
state.
D
We
do
off-sale
liquor
stores,
we
do
it
at
bars,
so
I
mean
realistically,
I
don't
see
what
the
bach
is
at
this.
As
for
the
consumption
of
alcohol,
I
mean
ultimately
guys
that's
individual
choice
and
freedom.
We've
applied
that
to
so
many
things
in
the
last
year.
This
is
another
one
of
those
simple
things
parents
need
to
take
on
and
I'm
a
parent.
A
lot
of
you
are
too,
but
we
need
to
take
on
that
individual
education
aspect
for
our
children,
schools
do
it.
We
can
get
in
there
too.
D
So
looking
at
a
grocery
store
or
some
other
place
to
do
it,
that's
not
their
job.
That's
our
job
and
that's
our
education
system
that
handles
that.
I'd
also
point
out.
Establishments
like
grocery
stores
are
significantly
harder
to
illegally
purchase
alcohol,
alcohol
from
they're,
incredibly
public.
It's
not
just
one
person
at
the
front.
We
don't
have
people
illegally
going
in
and
buying
cigarettes.
They
scan
ids
it's
hard.
D
Our
local
liquor
stores
do
a
great
job
too.
They
know
what's
at
stake
if
they
screw
that
up
and
somebody
gets
through
with
an
illegal
purchase.
It's
pretty
rare
with
how
many
we
have
so
a
good
job
to
everyone
for
that.
But
I
would
just
say
I'd
point
out
too:
we
exceed
the
on
sale,
wicker,
not
the
off
sale,
but
2020.
The
entire
country
saw
that
increase
in
consumption.
That
was
pandemic
related
a
lot
of
people
were
going
through
a
lot
of
things.
So
again,
I
don't
think
that
really
applies
here.
D
I
just
feel
it's
time
that
we
modernize
and
we're
looking
at
recreational
marijuana.
You
can
buy
cbd
everywhere.
We
already
do
tobacco
everywhere.
It
just
seems
strange
that
there's
no
law
that
prohibits
this,
but
for
some
reason
in
the
past,
it's
not
the
boa
doing
it,
but
the
council
has
drawn
a
weird
line
with
it.
If
we
don't
want
folks
to
do
it,
write
an
ordinance
that
says
that
so
that's
not
even
open
to
interpretation,
so
I
just
encourage
you
guys
vote
on
what's
in
front
of
you.
A
K
K
C
You
guys
had
have
been
thrown
around
a
lot
today
and
see
you
don't
have
any
physical
damage.
So
I'm
glad
for
that.
But
no
we've
talked
about
the
police
department
a
lot
today,
so
I
just
wondered:
if
you
could
comment,
we
get
all
the
reports
from
all
the
liquor
store
checks
and
I
don't
feel
like
there's
an
epidemic
of
people
failing
those,
but
maybe
I'm
wrong.
Could
you
let
me
know
if
what
that's
like.
K
Yeah,
their
statistics
were
correct.
We
are
seeing
increase
in
in
dui's,
even
as
recent
as
yesterday
I
looked
at
the
stats
and
even
for
this
year
or
were
higher.
Our
prevention
strategies
are
vast,
so,
but
we
are
watching
that
and
she
did
allude
to
the
underage
consumption
and
in
2020
we
did
see
an
uptick
in
that
after
we
were
seeing
a
slight
decrease.
L
E
I
guess
I've
got
a
it's
a
question
to
direct
a
map
and
maybe
a
rhetorical
question,
because
I
know
the
answer
today.
We
are
being
asked
to
vote
or
decide
on
the
suitability
of
an
applicant
for
an
ordinance
that
we
have
passed
that
has
gone
through
the
the
process
over
the
last
three
months
that
starting
with
a
presentation
at
a
planning
commission
meeting
action
at
the
planning
commission
level.
First
reading
at
the
council
level,
second
reading,
which
allowed
a
public
hearing
and
all
the
way
through
that
process.
E
There
was
any
number
of
chances
for
those
concerned
about
this
to
weigh
in,
and
I
don't
know
about
the
rescue.
But
until
two
days
ago
I
had
heard
absolutely
nothing
from
anyone
on
this
versus
the
process
that
has
gone
through
for
the
last
three
months.
So
so
again,
I
want
to
ask
a
question
of
you
matt.
We
today
we
are
asked
to
to
vote
on
the
suitability
of
the
applicant
for
a
for
an
ordinance
that
has
been
passed
in
recent
in
the
recent
past.
Correct.
M
Actually,
councilman
villar,
what
was
approved
by
the
plan
commission
and
ultimately
by
the
council,
did
not
change
the
status
of
this
application.
All
all
it
did
was
remove
the
requirement
for
alcoholic
beverage
sales
establishments
to
off
sale
establishments
to
receive
that
conditional
use
okay.
So
for
as
far
back
as
I,
as
I
know,
we
have
been
allowed,
we
have
been.
The
council
has
been
allowed.
There's
been
nothing
in
our
ordinance
restricting
the
council
from
approving
alcoholic
beverage
sales
in
grocery
stores
or
gas
stations.
E
L
L
L
Where
will
you
have
beer
and
wine?
It
seems
like
kind
of
a
little
issue,
but
is
it
readily
acceptable?
So
people
walk
by
and
they
say
oh
let's
buy
this,
or
is
it
going
to
be
in
a
location
where
it's
not
handy
or
maybe
maybe
it's
not
a
good
question
then,
and
maybe
not
now,
but
I
am
curious
where
you
think
in
county
fair.
You
might
put
this.
N
We
will
have
it
directly
up
front
by
our
customer
service
counter.
Now,
I
think,
no
matter
where
you
put
it
in
any
store
unless
it's
behind
a
door,
it's
always
going
to
be
accessible
to
some
degree,
but
that
is
the
most
likely
spot
where
people
will
be
all
the
time,
because
we
staff
our
customer
service
counter
every
hour
of
the
day
that
we're
open
it
will
be
behind
doors.
N
N
It
would
be
right
now,
if,
for
all
of
you
familiar
with
our
store,
it
would
be
right
up
front
where
our
coke
and
pepsi
products
are
now
those
would
move
to
a
different
location,
so
it
would
be
in
the
direct
center
of
the
store.
Where
are
we?
You
know
like?
I
said
we
have
staff
up
there
every
hour.
We
are
open.
L

J
E

A
O
O

So,
for
those
reasons
I'm
I'm
concerned
at
this
point,
I
understand
the
argument
that
we
have
not
had
people
come
and
argue
against
this
until
now,
but
I
would
just
say
a
lot
of
times:
people
don't
understand
the
full
implications
of
what
we
are
discussing
until
it
comes
right
in
their
face,
and-
and
we
are
at
that-
we
are
at
that
point
right
now,
so
I
think,
hitting
the
pause
button,
letting
us
have
a
little
bit
of
time
to
consider.
This
is
probably
a
good
thing,
so
I'll
be
voting.
Now,
thanks.
A
A
M
A
O
C
A
B
Okay,
thank
you
mayor.
The
only
thing
to
add
is
I
did
notice
that
the
attachment
for
this
item
was
wrong
on
the
agenda.
So
that
is
what
I
actually
handed
out
to
the
press
and
to
the
council.
So
it
was,
it
was
turned
in
right.
It
just
wasn't
attached
to
the
agenda,
so
this
one
will
be
for
the
the
location
of
eight
second
street
northeast
and
that.

Okay,
I
understand
thank
you.
Okay,
moving
on
to
item
d,
approval
of
a
business
license
for
studio,
212
llc
as
a
liquor,
establishment,
I'll
ask
for
a
motion
and
then
I'll
have
the
finance
officer.
Kristen

Second,
