Description
City Council Meeting - 07-06-2021
A
Everyone
we've
got
a
little
bit
of
a
strange
arrangement
today
for
the
first
time,
actually,
the
second
time
in
the
history
of
watertown.
Perhaps
at
the
city's
founding,
we
technically
do
not
have
a
legal
governing
body
up
front
right
now.
We
none
of
us
have
been
sworn
in.
Watertown
changed
our
form
of
city
governance.
So
technically
we
all
have
new
city,
council
members
and
a
new
mayor
and
a
new
city
manager.
So
in
order
to
call
an
official
meeting,
we
first
need
to
be
sworn
in,
so
this
is
not
a
call
to
order.
A
B
Okay,
let's
pray,
dearly
father
as
we
pray
right
now
and
seek
you.
The
first
thing
that
I
want
to
do
is
just
to
give
you
thanks
father.
We
want
to
give
you
thanks
for
the
many
freedoms
that
we
have
here
in
this
country,
god,
and
that
is
represented
in
the
fact
that
we
had
the
recent
election
here
in
watertown
for
mayor.
So
god
we
want
to.
We
want
to
say
thank
you
for
that.
B
We
know
there
are
places
where
that
is
not
the
case
where
people
are
not
free
to
vote,
and
so
god
thank
you
for
the
goodness
that
you
have
bestowed
upon
us
as
a
nation
father.
We
want
to
pray
and
ask
that
you
would
be
leading
and
guiding
mayor
sarah
karen
in
her
new
season
of
life
and
god
you
know,
I
certainly
don't
know
what
all
her
plans
are
or
where
she
is
going.
B
B
B
Yes,
for
mayor
holine,
we
pray,
we
pray
for
each
city
council,
member,
again
father
that
everything
that
they
do,
that
they
work
well
together
as
a
team
that
their
decisions
would
only
strengthen
and
build
up
the
city
of
watertown.
So
father.
We
just
want
to
pray
that
through
the
meeting
tonight
and
through
city
council
and
through
the
mayor
that
you
would
be
glorified
in
all
that
they
do.
We
love
you
and
we
thank
you
and
it's
in
jesus
name,
that
we
pray,
amen.
A
A
A
C
A
C
C
A
Out
of
order,
thank
you
very
much
matt.
Now
we
need
to
swear
in
the
city
council
people,
I
will
say
all
of
their
names
and
the
words
they
are
representing
and
have
them
stand,
as
I
call
them
representing
ward,
a
michael
danforth
representing
ward
b
colin
paulson,
representing
ward
c
dan
shutty,
representing
ward
d,
bruce
bueller,
representing
ward
e
glenn
vilhauer
and
representing
watertown
in
the
at-large
council
position.
Randy
tupper
matt.
Please
do
the
honors.
C
B
A
A
D
B
D
B
D
B
D
D
A
All
right
with
that
said,
we
have
our
first
order
of
business,
which
is
we,
as
a
council
have
to
elect
a
deputy
mayor.
The
deputy
mayor
will
have
a
lot
of
powers
under
this
new
form
of
government
whenever
the
mayor
does
not
wish
to
or
cannot
preside
over
a
meeting.
The
deputy
mayor
will
take
that
responsibility
and,
as
mayor,
I
believe
it
is
my
job
as
chair
to
be
impartial
and
not
engage
in
debate
actively
so
at
moments.
A
A
D
A
I
will
take
liberty
of
the
chair
to
address
a
let's
say,
a
personal
issue
of
someone
in
the
audience.
At
this
point.
I
know
that
this
person
might
wish
to
get
on
the
road
to
go
back
home,
but
I
want
to
represent
someone
who
has
given
a
lot
to
the
city
of
watertown.
We
want
to
recom.
We
want
to
acknowledge
these
people.
We
have
thousands
of
people
who
commit
hours
and
countless
energy
to
the
community,
making
this
a
better
place
and
we
have
the
chance
to
honor
one
of
them
tonight.
A
A
That
is
just
what
we
are
acknowledging
her
service
as
tonight,
but
we
all
know
that
judy
puts
in
a
lot
of
hours
for
other
things
as
well,
but
tonight
we
want
to
recognize
her
for
the
work
that
she
has
done
on
the
library
board
and
for
the
city
of
watertown
and
for
the
entire
state.
So
I
think
it
would
be
appropriate
if
dede,
if
you
and
I
and
amanda
judy,
if
you
could
come
forward-
and
we
would
like
to
represent
you
with
a
plaque
on
behalf
of
our
gratitude
for
the
city
of.
A
D
I've
got
just
a
clarification.
I
I
caught
the
the
commissioner's
meeting
this
morning.
Item
b
is
approval
of
a
fireworks
permit.
I
see
we're
approving
it.
The
commissioners
also
produced
because
of
the
of
where
it
is
in
relation
to
the
county
and
the
city,
or
why
are
we
both
needing
to
approve
the
fireworks
permit.
B
A
Yep
is
that
satisf
satisfactory
all
right
with
that
said,
the
motion
is
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye,
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
motion
carried
at
this
point.
We
are
open
for
public
comments.
Anyone
who
wishes
to
come
and
speak
on
an
item
that
is
not
on
the
agenda
has
a
chance
to
speak
at
this
point.
Are
there
any
people
who
would
like
to
speak
to
the
council.
A
B
Sorry,
okay,
it's
on
my
name
is
michelle
shetty.
I
work
at
watertown
chiropractic
and
the
reason
I
came
up
is
I've
been
waiting
for
this
for
a
long
time,
and
I
should
have
done
it
earlier,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
walk
on
that
road
or
ride
bikes,
and
I
have
always
wanted
to
know
if
there
is
any
way
to
fix
the
bridge.
So
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
on
the
outside
of
the
bridge
to
expand
it
just
a
little
first.
B
Sorry,
sorry
to
interrupt
it's
highway,
212
we're
right
next,
we're
between
tractor
supply
and
goodwill,
but
there's
that
bridge
there
and
I've
walked
it
myself,
and
it
is
terrifying.
I
mean
when
the
traffic
is
really
going,
and
I
was
just
wondering
I
don't
know
I've
never
done
this
before
or
but
I've
thought
about
it
a
long
time
if
there's
a
way
to
extend
it
just
enough
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
sidewalk
on
the
side
of
the
bridge.
B
I'm
sure
that's
quite
an
undertaking,
but
I
just
wanted
to
at
least
bring
it
up
for
safety
of
the
people
that
walk
on
that
bridge
and
then
the
other
thing
was
when
we
moved
there
in
2008
it
was
october
and
they
told
us
within
five
years.
We'd
have
a
stop
sign
or
a
stop
light.
Excuse
me
and
there's
days
where
I
myself
and
quite
a
few
other
people
sit
there
for
a
very
long
time
waiting
and
just
waiting
for
both
sides
of
traffic
to
give
us
a
chance
to
get
out
under
the
highway.
B
And
it's
not
just
worried
about
myself,
but
there's
a
lot
of
trucks
that
go
there
too,
and
they
just
sit
there
and
wait.
I'm
it's
not
constant,
but
it's
like
usually
that
five
o'clock
time
or
the
morning
time
when
people
are
coming
and
going
to
and
from
work.
So
I
just
wanted
to
bring
those
two
things
up.
B
A
C
C
A
Thank
you
very
much
with
that
said
we
will
move
on
for
the
approval
of
the
agenda.
I
want
to
clarify
a
couple
different
things
item.
I
will
actually
be
two
different
bids.
If
you
notice
an
item
I
it
actually
has
two
different
bids
in
there,
so
we
will
separate
them
for
the
vote
item
j.
We
need
to
change
the
language.
A
The
language
will
now
read:
approval
of
a
bid
award
for
the
snow
removal
equipment,
storage,
building
project
number
1927
to
gray
construction
in
the
amount
of
three
million
two
hundred
and
twenty
four
thousand
dollars
contingent
upon
faa
review
and
the
city's
receipt
of
a
grant
offer.
That
is
how
it
will
read.
G
H
G
A
A
A
Very
well
any
other
recusals
with
that
said,
I
need
a
motion
for
the
approval
of
the
agenda
moved
by
councilman
buehler
seconded
by
councilman
shutty,
all
those
in
favor
say
aye
aye
opposed,
saying,
motion
carried
with.
That
said,
we
will
start
off
our
regular
agenda
with
item
a
a
discussion
on
robert's
rules
of
order
and
city
council
proceedings.
A
This
is
done
partly
because
we
are
moving
into
a
new
form
of
government
and
we
are
starting
fresh
with
a
new
council
and
a
new
mayor,
and
it's
always
good
to
refresh
the
rules
by
which
we
operate
our
governing
body.
We
are
fortunate
enough
to
have
depending
upon
how
he
wants
to
go
in
this,
be
introduced
as
a
expert
on
robert's
rules
or,
as
he
would
classify
himself
a
rules
nerd,
but
either
way.
We
are
fortunate
to
have
an
expert
who
has
given
presentations
in
the
past.
I
My
name
is
mark
roby,
I'm
retired.
I
live
at
346,
north
lake
drive,
so
my
council
member
is
glenn
vilhauer
and
now
randy
tupper.
So
I
live
out
on
the
north
side
of
the
lake
delighted
to
be
here.
The
last
time
I
was
here
was
in
2019
and
reid,
skipped
it
and
so
he's
back
for
a
refresher,
bruce
and
glenn.
I
hope
you
stay
awake,
we'll
try
to
move
through
this
fairly
quickly.
I
I
could
say
I
stated
a
holiday
inn
which
makes
me
an
expert
on
robert's
rules,
but
that
would
be
incorrect.
I'm
not
an
expert.
I
probably
tend
to
the
nerd
category.
I
did
take
a
three-hour
class,
so
in
college,
from
a
from
an
expert,
a
professor
that
has
seven
editions
of
his
manuscript
out
on
robert's
rules
of
order.
So
when
I
get
into
trouble,
I
can
still
reach
out
to
him
and
he
can
fill
me
in
and
his
name
is
up
there.
It's
professor
john
erickson
retired
member
of
the
drake
university
faculty.
I
I
The
mayor
would
restate
the
motion,
your
motion,
if
you
make
it
and
then
he
would
then
ask
for
discussion
and
odds,
are
that
he
will
turn
to
the
person
who
made
the
motion
to
discuss
first
and
I've
recommended
to
the
mayor
that
he
goes
in
an
alternating
concept.
Pro
con
pro
con
on
each
motion,
a
misconception
on
the
second,
I
think
is
needed
to
be
called
out,
and
that
is
when
you
second
emotion
doesn't
mean
you
approve
of
it.
I
So
then,
once
the
motion
has
been
made
in
second
and
you
begin
discussion,
the
mayor
will
call
on
the
person
who
made
the
motion
first
to
make
the
remarks
in
regards
to
the
motion,
as
mentioned
he
should
alternate
pro
or
con,
and
then
it
is
highly
recommended,
and
most
organizations
that
are
efficient
only
allow
somebody
to
speak
out
of
motion
a
second
or
third
or
fourth
time
once
everyone
else
has
had
their
crack
at
the
motion.
So
I
think
you
would
look
to
read
to
do
that.
I
It's
also
appropriate
for
the
chair
to
ask
you
to
ask
the
members
to
address
the
chair
when
you
want
to
speak
on
a
motion,
so,
for
example,
if
randy
you
make
a
motion
or
you
want
to
speak
on
that,
you
say
mayor
I'd
like
to
speak
and
then
you'd
be
receive
acknowledgement
from
the
mayor,
the
chair,
and
then
you
could
begin
talking
on
that.
We
may
have
some
comments
on
that
later,
so
to
finesse
that
a
little
bit
more,
but
it's
appropriate
for
just
as
the
mayor
acknowledges
the
motion
maker.
He
acknowledges
the
second.
I
He
should
then
acknowledge
you
as
a
speaker
same
applies.
If
you
were
to
ask
a
question
of
the
people
sitting
here
at
the
table,
the
appropriate
way
to
be
glenn.
You
wanted
to
ask
me
a
question
about
this.
You'd
say
mayor.
I
have
a
question
and
then
the
mayor
would
then
give
you
the
floor
to
ask
the
question:
if
you
follow
that
procedure,
the
professionalism
and
the
expediency
of
the
meeting,
the
speed
of
the
meeting
will
improve.
I
So
if
you've
got
a
second
motion,
then
you
need
to
wait
your
turn
to
deal
with
that
first
motion
and
as
I've
listed
up
there,
those
are
the
the
types
of
motions
amendments
you
can
make.
The
two
I
want
to
talk
about.
There
are
substitute
motion
and
then
a
hostile
amendment.
A
substitute
motion
would
be
something
like
this.
I
So
we've
got
a
on
the
floor,
a
motion
to
allow
fireworks
on
july
4th
and
what
you
could
do
with
the
substitute
motion-
and
this
is
appropriate,
is
you
could
move
to
substitute
oppose
july
4th
fireworks
as
a
substitute
motion
to
the
main
motion
and
then
that
would
be
seconded
and
then
you'd
discuss
that
substitute
motion
and
then
you'd
go
back
to
the
primary
motion.
So
that's
what
a
substitute
motion
does
it
substitutes
something
for
the
original
main
motion
and
it's
very
appropriate
to
handle
it
in
that
fashion?
I
A
hostile
motion
needs
to
be
germaine
to
the
original
intent
of
the
main
motion.
So
here's
an
example
of
that,
let's
say:
you're
debating
a
motion
to
have
a
street
dance.
A
rock
and
roll
street
dance
well
bruce
being
of
the
gen
generation
that
he
is
makes
a
a
hostile
amendment
to
that
motion
and
he
wants
to
substitute
the
lawrence
welk
band
for
the
who,
on
the
rock
and
roll
street
dance.
I
Okay,
the
next
thing
is
how
to
close
debate
and
that's
where
we
use
the
term
call
the
previous
question.
So
you
make
a
motion
to
the
chair
chair.
I
called
the
previous
question
a
couple
things
on
this.
It
does
require
a
second.
It
is
not
debatable
and
if
approved,
it
ends
the
debate
on
the
question
and
then
you
go
back
and
vote
on
the
motion
at
hand
if
it's
called
on
an
amendment
and
it
ends
the
discussion
and
votes
on
the
amendment,
it
returns
then
back
to
the
main
motion.
I
So
you
can
use
this
on
any
motion
or
substitute
or
subsidiary
motion
that
you'd
want
what's
neat
about
this
one
or
what's
required,
since
it's
not
debatable
is
it
requires
a
two-thirds
vote
of
the
members
to
approve
ending
the
previous
question
ending
debate.
So
that
means
five
of
seven
of
you
have
to
approve
that.
I
So
that's
why
why
it's
it's
not
debatable,
because
it
has
a
two-thirds
majority
vote,
because
what
you're
basically
doing
is
denying
me
a
chance
to
speak
on
a
motion.
If
I
have
want
to
do
that
when
you
call
the
previous
question,
but
it's
not
debatable
okay,
then
we
move
to
the
vote
and
you
just
did
that
a
couple
times.
The
mayor
will
restate
the
motion
with
any
amendments.
I
He
then
calls
for
those
in
favor
of
a
or
I
or
yes
and
then
calls
for
those
opposed,
nay
or
no
okay,
and
that's
changed
by
the
way.
Under
the
old
last
presentation,
the
mayor
could
only
vote
on
a
tie,
as
you
know,
as
a
member
of
the
home
ruled
charter
commission,
the
mayor
will
be
a
full
voting
member
this
time
around.
So
that's
an
important
change
this
time.
I
So
then
we
get
to
how
to
interrupt,
which
is
a
key
part
of
having
a
proper
council
meetings,
how
to
interrupt
and
how
to
do
it
appropriately.
Well,
there's
three
ways
to
do
that:
there's
a
point
of
information
which
is
a
question
to
the
mayor,
who's,
the
chair
concerning
the
content.
Now,
what
are
we
talking
about
mayor
mayor
point
of
information?
What
what's
the
motion?
What
are
we
talking
about?
That's
the
point
of
information
and
the
mayor
answers.
It
then
there's
a
point
of
parliamentary
inquiry
a
little
deeper.
I
I
I
I
The
chair
would
then
turn
to
the
member
one
of
you
and
say
state
your
point,
and
you
would
then
say
my
point
is
x.
You
don't
start
debating
it,
you
just
simply
state
what
your
point
is
and
the
chair
would
then
rule
on
your
point
of
order
and
for
example,
he
could
say
the
order
is
well
taken
and
then
make
a
decision
or
he
could
say
it's
not
well
taken
whatever
the
chair's
decision
on
a
point
of
order
can
be
appealed
by
any
of
you.
I
So
if
he
says
colin,
your
point
is
not
well
taken
mike.
You
can
jump
in
and
say
I
challenge
that
let's
have
a
vote
and
then
you
can.
You
can
debate
that
and
vote
that
and
again,
when
you
have
the
debate,
though
you
only
get
to
vote
or
talk
once
on
a
point
of
order,
that's
to
speed
through
the
process,
because
you
don't
want
to
drag
that
on
at
the
conclusion
of
that
debate,
the
chair
is
going
to
restate
his
reasons
and
the
chair
will
then
say
to
the
membership.
I
I
I
So
here's
the
basic
misconception:
we've
now
covered
the
hard
part
of
the
presentation
how
to
run
a
meeting,
and
that
is
why
do
we
have
to
use
this
parliamentary
procedure?
Why
do
we
have
to
use
robert's
rules
of
order
and
the
real
essence
of
it
is
because
the
procedure,
because
we
don't
understand
it-
becomes
a
scapegoat.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
the
oath.
You
just
swore
includes
what
we
do
here
as
a
city
and
what's
in
our
ordinances
and
in
our
ordinances,
we
follow
robert's
rules
of
order.
I
So
by
not
following
and
not
understanding,
robert's
rules,
you
violate
your
oath,
that's
why
you
want
to
do
it
so
members
in
various
organizations,
groan
and
complain
about
it,
but
the
real
key
is
those
that
know
how
to
use
robert's
rules
of
order
understands
the
power
it
provides
and
then
therefore
can
abuse
it,
and
that's
the
real
essence
of
where
it
gets
dangerous
and
I'll
give
you
an
example
that
in
the
next
section,
so
how
do
we
correct
actions?
We've
done
something,
and
now
we
need
to
correct
it.
I
There's
two
motions
to
do
that:
number
one
is
reconsider
and
the
other
one
is
to
rescind
because
you're
going
to
have
to
correct
actions.
Believe
it
or
not.
You
aren't
perfect,
so
you'll
probably
make
a
mistake
or
two
along
the
way,
and
these
are
the
two
motions
you
use
to
correct
those
actions
to
reconsider
a
motion.
I
You
must
be
on
the
prevailing
side
so
as
you're
counting
the
votes
and
you
want
to
reconsider
because
you
know
it's
going
down,
you
need
to
be
on
the
prevailing
side
of
that
motion
in
order
to
declare
it
as
a
to
reconsider
it
takes
this
takes
precedence
over
your
agenda.
If
you
make
a
motion
to
reconsider,
so
you
have
to
set
the
agenda
aside
to
reconsider,
you
should
do
so
immediately
and
it
can
only
be
reconsidered
once
and
you
need
to
make
it
before
the
end
of
the
meeting.
I
Really
you
ought
to
do
it
as
soon
as
the
motion
is
done.
The
votes
taken.
The
motion
to
reconsider
is
debatable
and
doesn't
become
an
excuse
to
re-debate
the
motion.
It
becomes
why
we
should
reconsider
it.
If
it
passes,
then
you
re-debate.
The
motion
does
that
make
sense,
so
you
want
to
debate
the
motion.
Why
should
we
reconsider?
We
just
spent
four
hours
on
it?
What
more
are
we
going
to
learn?
I
That's
what
you
talk
about
in
the
motion
to
reconsider
it's
a
majority
vote
and
you
cannot
reconsider
votes
on
adopted,
bylaws
ordinances
and
those
kind
of
things
on
the
m
and
we'll
take
questions
at
the
end.
I
should
have
stated
that
at
the
beginning,
the
motion
to
rescind
is
technically
at
the
same
meeting,
but
almost
always
at
the
next
meeting,
and
really
it
picks
up
where
reconsider
leaves
off
kind
of
shows
you
how
roberts
has
a
very
logical
progression,
so
reconsider
didn't
work
now,
let's
recon
rescind
the
motion
at
the
next
meeting.
I
I
I
Okay,
the
let's
talk
about
the
misused,
abused
motions
and
my
pet
peeve
is
the
motion
to
lay
on
a
table
every
organization
I've
been
to
abuses
this
so
you're,
not
new,
written
columns
about
this
council.
Not
you
guys,
your
predecessors
abusing
the
motion.
Here's
an
example
from
2007
and
I'd
be
happy
to
provide
that
to
you.
I
think
reid
has
a
copy
of
that.
I
Okay,
changing
the
order
of
government,
which
we
just
did
as
a
city
is
not
routine
business,
so
you
wouldn't
want
to
use,
lay
the
table
on
there,
a
routine
order.
Business
might
be,
and
I've
got
some
examples.
For
example,
let's
say
you're
expecting
an
expert
to
show
up
to
talk
about
a
building
project
or
a
potential
project
and
their
plane
is
late.
I
I
I
I
Another
use
is
if
you
have
to
go
to
the
restroom
and
we're
about
to
go
into
a
vote.
I'd
like
to
put
this
on
the
table
until
I
return.
So
those
are
you
know
it's
routine
business,
it's
very
low
level.
Business
is
when
you
use
the
lay
on
the
table,
and
yet
many
people
use
it
to
kill
debate
on
motions
because
they
know
it's
not
debatable.
I'm
hoping
the
mayor
will
call
you
out
of
order
when
you're,
using
it
inappropriately.
I
As
mr
erickson,
professor
erickson,
would
say,
he'd
say:
don't
ever
use
lay
on
the
table.
It's
a
worthless
motion,
so
don't
ever
use,
it
is
his
advice.
So
what
do
you
want
to
do
when
you
do
need
to
postpone
business?
Well,
there's
two
ways
to
do
that.
One
is
to
postpone
indefinitely
see.
There
is
a
solution
to
all
these
problems
and
robert's
rules.
You
just
got
to
know
the
motion
to
postpone
indefinitely
is
seldom
use.
I
It's
just
used
against
the
main
motion,
so
one
upside
is
that
it's
a
way
to
get
a
straw
vote
on
a
main
motion.
So,
for
example,
let's
say
we're
going
to
vote
on,
paving
north
lake
drive
and
I
want
to
know
how
the
vote's
going
to
come
out.
So
I
say
I'd
like
to
postpone
this
indefinitely
because
I
want
south
lake
drive
postponed.
So
by
using
the
motion
to
postpone
indefinitely,
you
can
get
a
straw
vote
as
to
how
your
membership
feels
and
that's
an
appropriate
use.
I
I
I
think
the
better
way
to
defer
action
on
something
is
to
postpone
to
a
certain
time,
and
it's
usually
at
the
end
of
the
next
meeting
or
sooner
so.
It
creates
two
general
orders.
One
is
a
general
order
where
it
doesn't
interrupt
business
and
then,
where
I
do
interrupt
we're
in
the
middle
of
something-
and
I
want
to
postpone
this
debate
to
another
meeting.
I
A
Thank
you,
mr
roby.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
council?
Thank
you
very
much.
The
chair
will
take
some
liberty
to
just
say
part
of
the
reason
why
I
asked
mr
roby
to
come
forward
is
I
feel
like
at
the
beginning
of
a
new
form
of
government
at
the
beginning
of
my
tenure,
an
entirely
new
council.
It
is
wise
to
set
the
rules
at
the
start,
rather
than
trying
to
set
them
after
the
first
meeting.
So
a
couple
different
things
with
robert's
rules,
I'm
a
firm
believer
in
them.
A
They,
the
rules,
are
there
to
facilitate,
not
limit
debate.
It
is
to
allow
the
minority
to
speak,
to
protect
their
right
to
be
heard,
but
also
protects
the
right
of
the
majority
to
have
the
majority
wins
a
couple
different
things
that
I
will
run
our
meetings.
As
for
the
watertown
city
council,
I
will
allow
the
motion
maker
to
be
the
first
speaker
on
that,
but
I
know
a
lot
of
times.
A
The
motion
maker
is
not
particularly
passionate
about
the
subject,
so
I
will
not
presume
that
the
person
who
makes
the
motion
will
want
to
speak
first.
On
that,
I
will
I'll
look
at
the
person
who
makes
the
motion,
and
unless
something
is
said,
I
will
basically
open
it
up
to
the
council
with
that
said,
most
of
our
items
for
those
of
you
who
are
on
this
council
and
who
have
watched
it
know
that
an
agenda
item
will
first
go
to
a
staff
member
to
explain
it.
We
will.
We
will
continue
with
that.
A
Then
I
will
open
it
up
for
public
hearing
for
public
hearing.
I
believe
that
we
should
have
the
proponents
first
then
the
opponents
when
it
comes
to
council
deliberation.
I
do
agree
that
pro
and
con
should
be
switched
back
and
forth.
But
again
I
do
not
know
exactly
sure.
I
am
not
sure
if
you
are
pro
or
a
con
on
any
subject,
so
I
kind
of
need
you
to
police
yourself
on
that.
A
If
you
know
that
you're
going
to
be
a
con-
and
you
want
to
speak
second
I'll-
just
ask
you
to
like
hold
up
two
fingers
or
something
like
that,
as
opposed
to
just
one
and
then
I'll
know
that
I
will
try
to
facilitate
the
debate
back
and
forth
and
just
as
far
as
how
I
will
run
the
meetings
for
the
public
for
anyone
watching
and
for
ourselves.
I
will
address
all
staff
and
council
members
by
their
title
and
full
name.
A
But
it's
also
to
protect
us
if
we
get
a
contentious
issue
in
the
public
that
it
protects
all
of
us
that
they
can't
go
after
just
one
council
person
because
it
allow
it
forces
them
to
go
through
the
chair
to
a
council
person
to
ask
a
question,
or
vice
versa.
So
these
are
just
some
of
the
reasons
why
I
asked
mr
roby
to
come
and
speak
and
some
of
my
expectations,
councilman
danforth.
Thank
you.
J
D
Thank
you
mayor.
I
got
a
question
for
from
mr
roby.
We
look
at
city
attorney
roby
as
our
polymer
to
parliamentarian.
You
referred
that
early
on
in
your
presentation.
Okay,
let's
say
that
we
have
a
disagreement
as
far
as
parliamentary
procedure.
We
feel
we're
right.
Mr
roby
is
wrong.
Does
he
does
his
opinion?
Carry
the
day
in
a
situation
like
that.
I
I
And
then
you
have
the
opportunity
to
if,
under
the
three
options,
if
it's
an
opinion,
it's
done,
if
it's
not,
then
you
have
the
opportunity
to
debate
that
and
overrule
it.
Okay,
thank
you
and
mr
mayor.
If
I
might
one
way
to
do,
the
alternating
is
simply
to
ask:
is
there
any
after
the
first
speaker
speaks?
Is
there
any
con?
I
I
know
most
of
your
debates.
Are
you
they're
pretty
well
they're,
not
hot
issues.
The
pro
and
con
becomes
important,
I
think
in
a
bigger
issue
like
home
home
rule
charter
changes
or
budgetary
issues,
those
kind
of
things,
so
you
can
just
simply
ask
for
pro
and
con,
and
that
might
facilitate
it
too.
So
just
a
thought.
A
C
C
Because
you
know,
if
you
think
of
the
legislature,
they
move
things
to
the
41st
day
right.
Well,
it's
pretty
easy
to
figure
out
when
the
session
ends
it
starts
over
again.
Next
january,
you
can
bring
up
the
same
legislation
that
got
killed
last
year
if
you
want
to
in
this
case
what
constitutes
a
session.
So
if
something
gets
killed,
whether
it's
a
motion
to
postpone
indefinitely
can
let's
say
the
mayor:
if
they're
interested
in
the
mayor
or
two
council
members,
can
they
put
it
on
an
agenda
the
following
month?
I
And
that's
what
would
drive
the
motion
or
the
issue
coming
back
would
be
it
be
agendized
and
then,
in
the
case
of
a
motion
that
has
been
postponed
indefinitely
or
postponed
to
a
certain
time,
it
would
be
noted
that
it's
coming
back
for
consideration
again
by
the
council,
the
table
more
than
likely
is
going
to
be
handled
at
the
same
meeting
if
done
appropriately.
So
those
two
would
be,
and
then,
if
it's
a
motion
is
defeated,
you
could
use
a
re
rescind
or
reconsider,
but
there's
also
rules
that
would
suggest
you're,
not
gonna.
I
You
know,
if
we're
gonna
are
we
gonna
debate
this
issue
for
the
fifth
time
in
the
fifth
meeting
in
a
row
right
and
that,
and
that
I
think,
is
when
the
chair
would
probably
not
put
it
on
the
agenda
and
require
a
special
vote
of
the
council
to
overrule
the
chair.
I
mean
if
it's
just
being
brought
up
every
time,
so.
C
Yeah
at
some
point
it
becomes
futile.
I
mean
yeah
if
the
council
is
going
to
keep
defeating
an
item.
There's
no
reason
to
continue
to
ask
them
to
keep
doing
that.
But
the
question
was
okay.
If
something
is
defeated,
how
long
must
the
advocate
wait
to
ask
the
question
again
but
we'll
see
what
happens
the
next
time
it
happens.
Yeah
I.
I
A
A
We'll
now
move
on
to
item
agenda
b,
if
you
will
notice,
this
is
actually
a
two-part
agenda
item,
but
we
will
dispense
with
item
number
one
first
and
that
is
the
approval
of
resolution
number
21-27,
initiating
annexation
of
attractive
land
contiguous
to
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota,
to
be
known
as
harmony.
Hill
third
edition
need
a
motion
to
approve
moved
by
councilman
buehler.
H
H
H
H
You
can
see
once
it's
annexed,
it's
contiguous
and
would
be
part
of
what's
already
part
of
the
city
limits
and
again
the
subsequent
zoning
action
would
become
ag
and,
of
course,
that
matches
the
surrounding
zoning
as
well.
The
urban
planner
brandy,
hampton
and
community
development
manager,
stacy
bungard,
are
both
online
with
us
and
we'll
stand
by
for
questions.
A
A
A
K
We
have
plans
to
to
start
the
roadways
that'll
make
the
further
development
of
the
property
and
the
project
come
to
fruition,
hopefully
starting
in
late
fall
when
the
senior
living
community
we
have
planned
is
able
to
get
in
the
ground
and
with
foundations
and
footings.
So
this
is
a
seminal
piece
for
us.
We're
really
excited
about
the
amount
of
cooperation,
good
advice
and
counsel
that
the
city
design
review
team
has
given
us.
So
we're
we're
happy
this
day
has
come
thanks
much.
A
A
A
Seeing
none,
we
will
close
council
deliberations
and
go
to
council
action
with
that.
The
motion
is
to
approve
item
b1,
not
b2.
Yet
this
is
two
separate
items.
So
the
motion
is
to
approve
item
b1
of
the
agenda,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
motion
carried
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
item
b2.
A
A
A
Oh
yeah,
one
mayor,
sorry,
thank
you.
Yes,
sorry.
Thank
you
very
much.
We
do
need
a
motion
to
approve
the
and
I
will
read
it
off
too
item
b2
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-29,
establishing
the
zoning
designation
of
a1
agricultural
district
for
the
area
of
land,
known
land
to
be
known
upon
annexation
as
harmony
hill
3rd
edition.
Thank
you.
We
do
need
a
motion
to
approve.
A
Actually
I
did
have,
I
will
go
with
the
voice.
I
like
the
voice
better,
so
councilman
tupper
makes
the
motion
to
approve.
Do
we
have
a
second
I'll
say?
Councilman
tupper
I
mean
councilman
paulson.
Thank
you
very
much
with
that.
The
motion
is
to
approve
item
b2,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
motion
carried.
Thank
you
very
much
with
that.
H
H
I
just
wanted
to
pull
this
entire
area
out
for
context
again.
Here
we
are
along
highway,
81
and
then
20th
avenue
south
is
at
the
top
of
the
screen,
with
the
roundabout
there
off
the
northeast
corner
of
this
property
and
then
I'll
zoom
in
to
the
properties.
The
portion
of
this
property
in
question
here
this
evening,
that
is
being
petitioned
to
be
rezoned.
H
You'll
see
this
area
here
so
just
off
the
screen
is
that
a
multicultural
center
building
that
exists
today
along
highway
81.?
These
are
the
boundaries
of
what
we're
proposing
for
rezone,
again
same
applicant
same
related
project.
What
we're
now
doing
is
drilling
down
into
the
rezone
of
the
areas
of
the
property
for
the
specific
uses
that
they
want
to
pursue
in
the
near
future
to
accommodate
the
phasing
of
their
development.
So
this
pinkish
purple,
probably
more
purplish
color,
is
proposed
to
be
pud.
Zoning,
that's
a
planned
unit,
development
zoning.
H
H
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
do
need
to
actually
take
a
motion
on
this
item,
so
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
item
c
so
moved
by
councilman
danforth
seconded
by
councilman
shutty.
With
that
we'll
open
the
public
hearing
are.
Is
there
anyone
online
or
present,
who
would
like
to
speak
on
item
c,
the
zoning
designation
for
the
harmony
hill
project
sister
younger?
I
know
that
you've
spoken
before
if
you're.
Okay,
with
your
previous
comments,
that's
okay
with
us.
A
E
E
A
H
So
there's
a
handful
of
things
that
we
look
at
at
the
concept
planning
level,
one
of
those
being
the
roads,
and
I
assume
councilman
paulson's
question
is
related
to
the
the
curvilinear
approach
that
they've
taken
with
this
design.
Is
that
correct,
councilman
and
that
was
questioned
and
vetted
through
the
design
review
at
the
concept
plan
level?
H
We
questioned
some
of
the
same
things
and
we
we
talked
about
the
the
utilities
and
curvilinear
roads
and
how
you
end
up
adding
more
fixtures.
The
utilities
like
like
bins
in
the
water
mains,
for
example,
which
is
not
always
a
desirable
effect
of
a
of
a
curvilinear
road,
but
we
did
come
to
the
conclusion
that,
for
the
most
part,
the
designer
was
trying
to
accommodate
the
the
curver
linear
design
in
coral
correlation
with
the
contours
of
this
area,
and
we
felt
that
what
they
were
providing
was
appropriate.
H
H
H
A
K
K
Where
you
see
where
the
pud
is.
As
you
go
up
toward
the
monitor
monastery,
it's
really
a
pretty
good.
You
know
pick
up
as
far
as
the
the
altitude
is,
so
we
want
it
to
be
very
respectful
there
there's
some
natural
water
flow
and
might
be
out
there
today,
actually,
and
so
we
wanted
to
instead
of
trying
to
make
water
go
where
it
doesn't
want
to
go.
Could
we
work
with
that?
K
K
A
A
A
H
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
this.
This
is
in
relation
to
our
10th
avenue
north
reconstruction
project.
As
you
recall,
we've
done
a
number
of
assessments
for
sidewalk
work
up
there
on
that
project,
for
the
homeowners
ability
to
be
assessed
and
pay
for
sidewalk
costs
over
a
number
of
years,
rather
than
up
front
out
of
their
pocket
cost
and
a
similar
situation
arose
where
a
water
service
line
was
in
need
of
repair.
H
It
was
found
to
be
leaking
and,
of
course,
in
those
circumstances
we
require
that
the
homeowner
repair,
this
portion
of
the
service
line
that
they're
responsible
for
in
that
request
we
made
to
that
homeowner.
They
then
asked
of
us
to
bring
an
assessment
on
to
them
to
help
them
finance
that
cost
over
a
number
of
years.
A
D
H
D
E
H
Yes,
so
any
assessment
that
is
performed
through
the
city
has
to
be
done
through
through
the
city
government,
the
city
council,
and
so
when
there
are
other
utility
needs
that
need
to
be
assessed,
such
as
whether
it
be
water,
gas
or
electric.
Even
though
they're
managed
by
watertown
municipal
utilities,
those
assessments
would
have
to
be
channeled
back
through
the
city
and
approved
by
city
council
to
be
placed
on
the
assessment
rules,
and
so
that's
what
we've
done
in
this
circumstance
not
to
get
too
far
off
track
with
details.
H
But
the
municipal
utilities
did
pay
for
a
portion
of
this
water
service
line
because
of
its
its
location
and
this
type
of
line
that
existed.
But
there
was
a
portion
that
their
stance
was.
It
was
the
homeowners
to
repair
and
replace,
and
so
we
took
that
information
from
them
and
have
processed
it
accordingly,
so
there's
definitely
been
coordination
with
them.
On
the
extent
of
the
work,
that's
the
homeowners
responsibility
versus
what
municipal
utilities
was
covering
under
their
project.
K
H
It's,
I
would
say
more
common
to
see
a
blanket
assessment
with
multiple
property
owners,
like
we've
done
for
the
sidewalks,
for
example,
but
to
process
one
individual,
one
staff
didn't
see
any
issues
with
that.
It
does
create
a
little
bit
of
paperwork
to
process
that
and
given
the
amount
of
financial
burden
this
would
create.
We
felt
it
was
more
than
accommodating
to
go
ahead
and
help
the
resident
in
this
manner
to
bring
it
forward
as
an
assessment.
H
B
H
Yes,
there
is
councilman
buehler,
the
there
are
a
few
trade-offs
when
looking
at
incorporating
this
with
the
city's
work.
You
know
the
city
has
some
economy
of
scale,
but
the
city
also
tends
to
pay
a
little
more
further
contracted
work
than
the
private
sector
does
and,
of
course,
that's
all
circumstantial
and
depends
on
the
project.
But
in
this
case
these
prices
were
competitive
and
made
sense
for
the
homeowner
to
go
this
route,
so
they
felt
it
to
be
agreeable.
A
Thank
you
any
further
questions
or
comments,
seeing
none.
We
will
close
that
aspect
and
move
to
voting.
The
motion
is
the
approval
of
the
resolution
of
necessity.
21-32
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
motion
carried,
we'll
move
on
to
agenda
item
e
the
first
reading.
This
is
a
first
reading,
so
we
don't
need
a
motion,
number
21-13,
an
ordinance
amendment
to
chapter
5-5.03,
summary
of
district
regulations,
of
the
revised
ordinances
of
the
city
of
watertown,
to
clarify
and
establish
street
cut
procedures
and
limitations.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
a
ordinance
amendment.
That's
been
in
the
works
for
quite
some
time.
It
actually
stems
back
to
as
long
as
when
councilman
paulson
was
our
assistant
city
engineer,
and
he
actually
initiated
the
draft
of
this
ordinance
amendment.
Since
then,
the
current
assistant
city
engineer,
justin
peterson,
has
worked
on
it
and
put
the
finishing
touches
on
it,
and
we've
now
got
it
brought
forward
to
the
council
for
your
consideration.
H
There's
there's
a
few
different
types
of
permits
that
we
issue
for
work
in
the
right
of
way,
such
as
storing
of
materials
cutting
into
the
street,
cutting
in
a
new
driveway,
there's
a
whole
gamut
of
different
things
that
we
regulate
within
the
right-of-way.
This
one
is
specifically
relating
to
those
physical
cuts
within
the
street
section
primarily
due
to
utility
work
that
can
be
for
repairing
a
water
main.
It
could
be
for
putting
in
a
new
sewer,
connect,
sewer
service
connection
to
our
sewer
mains.
H
It
could
be
to
fix
a
storm
sewer
pipe
that
runs
through
this
underneath
the
city
street
and
then
under
any
of
those
circumstances.
What
we've
dealt
with
in
the
past
is
we're
finding
that
we
don't
have
any
ordinance
language
that
prevents
that
street
cut
from
happening
when
we
have
a
fairly
new
street.
H
So
what
this
ordinance
does
is
it
puts
a
moratorium
on
street
cuts
for
a
brand
new
pavement
and
that
moratorium
is
to
last
for
five
years
and
it's
it's
not
uncommon
for
communities
to
have
a
moratorium
like
this
on
new
streets
and
the
the
time
limit.
The
limitation
on
this
restriction
varies
anywhere
from
two
to
up
to
five
years
is
what
you
commonly
see
other
communities?
Do
we
went
ahead
and
drafted
ours
and
put
a
five-year
moratorium,
so
there'd
be
no
cuts
into
our
streets
for
up
to
five
years.
H
B
D
Mr
vaughn,
I
just
have
a
question:
I'm
thinking
of
a
specific
project
going
on
right
now
on
south
lake
drive
by
the
gulf
court
by
prairie
winds
out
there,
I
believe,
there's
utility
work
need
to
be
done
to
get
to
the
development.
That's
going
on
to
the
south
side
of
south
lake
drive.
Will
this
be
an
example
where
they
would
have
had
to
come
now
before
the
board
of
justin,
for
a
variance
or
or
how,
in
a
situation?
H
Then
they
would
have
to
pursue
a
variance
request
through
the
city
engineer.
We
would
take
that
information
in
from
them
and
look
at
what
it
is
they're
wanting
to
accomplish.
We
would
look
at
any
alternative
means
they
could
use
to
accomplish
that
short
of
cutting
into
our
street
and
if,
if
it
were
determined
that
no
there's
no
way
they
can't
do
this
work
aside
from
cutting
into
the
street
it's
likely.
In
that
case,
the
city
engineer,
would
approve
that
particular
variance
request.
H
There's
an
overarching
component
to
this
question.
You've
posed
councilman
vilhauer
and
I
did
matt
chime
in
on
this
with
me,
but
we
do
have
means
that
we're
looking
forward
to
implementing
that.
Would
that
would
broaden
and
put
any
kind
of
variance
like
that
through
a
formalized
process
and
matt.
If
you
could
chime
in
on
that.
C
Thank
you
councilman.
We
touched
on
this
during
the
transition
ordinance
process,
and
yet
it's
yet
to
be
fleshed
out,
but
we
hope
to
have
a
first
draft
here
at
the
next
meeting
and
what
it'll
be
is
a
city
essentially
a
broad
administrative
appeals
process,
the
the
adoption
of
our
new
form
of
government,
because
it's
not,
we
basically
took
advantage
of
the
allowance
in
the
constitution
to
craft
our
own
unique
form
of
government
here.
But
with
that
comes
this
responsibility
to
have
this
administrative
appeals
process
and
basically
what
it
is.
C
Brookings
has
one,
for
example,
the
media
or
the
decision
maker.
In
that
case,
and
I
don't
know
how
often
they
use
it.
I
need
to
do
a
little
a
little
more
legwork
on
this,
but
the
decision
maker
ends
up
being
a
local
lawyer.
They
just
have
a
local
member
of
the
bar
come
and
listen
to
the
the
concern
and
then
render
a
judgment,
and
so
it
just
it
just
depends
on
what
tack
we
take
with
that.
C
E
E
I
think
it's
going
to
go
a
long
ways
for
saving
our
streets,
so
I
I
would
look.
I
would
ask
staff
to
look
into
what
that
that
requirement
may
be.
I
know
we
have
requirements
on
street
construction
and
then
is
a
five
foot
trench
enough
is
any
other
question.
I
have
and
then
possibly
illustrations
for
the
public
to
under
number
seven
just
to
kind
of
lay
out
or
show
exactly
what
they
mean
by
those
words.
A
H
Absolutely
no
problem,
I
do
have
some
follow-up
comments
I
would
make
in
regards
to
the
compaction
testing.
Some
communities
do
require
that
any
any
trenching
or
excavation
or
road
when
they
build
that
back
and
pave
it
in
they
require
you
can
you
can
really
get
into
pardon
the
pond
but
into
several
layers
of
testing
and
they,
which
then
accomplishes
a
few
things
one
for
the
community?
H
It
helps
ensure
that
that
roadway
patch
is
put
back
in
with
a
sufficient
amount
of
compaction
to
help
reduce
the
risk
of
it,
settling
and
failing
in
the
future,
and
that's
where
we
notice
those
dips
in
the
road
where
you
can
pretty
much
identify
them
by
the
trench
cut
that
has
occurred
in
the
past
one
way
to
help
prevent
that
is
by
requiring
compaction
testing
now
in
full
transparency.
The
flip
side
of
that
is
that
comes
at
a
cost.
H
H
But
I
will
say
that
we
are
looking
to
train
some
of
our
staff,
our
new
staff,
with
our
nuclear
test,
gauge
that
we
do
own
and
have
we
haven't
used
it
in
years.
But
we
do
have
a
gauge
in
instrumentation
that
is
used
for
density
testing.
We
just
lack
the
training
and
the
knowledge
of
the
operation
of
that
piece
of
equipment,
and
we
would
hope
to
perform
and
use
that
in
the
future
to
spot
check
development,
construction
and
things
like
that,
but
could
also
evolve
into
testing
density
on
street
cuts
as
well.
B
H
J
J
In
reading
this,
historically,
can
anybody
just
go
start
digging
in
our
streets?
If
I
want
to
put
in
a
water
connection
to
a
lot
that
I
sold,
do
I
just
go?
Do
that
or
or
do
I
have
to
come
to
the
city,
the
utility
somebody
and
get
permission,
it's
confusing
to
me
as
to
what
we're
actually
doing
here?
H
Like
to
answer
it,
yes,
absolutely
to
councilman
danforth's
question,
I
would
say
that
it
does
happen
where
people
do
cut
into
the
street
without
a
street
cup
permit.
It
is,
however,
currently
a
requirement
for
them
to
obtain
a
street
cut
permit
before
they
do
that.
So
that's
that's!
A
battle
we've
been
trying
to
address
and
we're
continuing
to
educate
contractors
of
the
need
to
obtain
a
street
cut
permit
prior
to
doing
the
work,
and
this
is
expanding
on
that
and
saying
for
a
new
street
by
ordinance.
H
Yeah
correct
so
in
that
situation,
what
what
should
be
happening
in
the
design
process
is
a
well
thought
out,
laid
out
lot
configuration
and
during
the
construction
that
the
developer
performs
when
they
put
in
the
sewer
and
the
water
and
then
the
streets
there
are
service
stubs
to
those
planted,
lots
that
are
there
at
the
property
line
ready
for
the
developer
to
connect
to
now.
We
all
know
that
as
development
as
particularly
commercial
and
industrial
areas
evolves
over
time,
people
come
in
that
they
don't
want
this
lot.
That
was
laid
out.
H
They
want
that
lot
and
half
the
one
next
to
it
or
half
of
the
lot
that
exists.
So
the
lock
configuration
tends
to
fluctuate,
as
you
get
buyers,
come
in
to
develop
these
lots
and
that's
what
causes
the
issue
that
you
point
out.
Where
now
they've
either
got
to
cut
into
the
street
to
abandon
a
service
stub
that
they're
not
going
to
use
or
they
need
to
dig
into
the
street
to
put
in
another
new
service
line,
because
they've
created
a
new
lot
that
didn't
have
a
service
line.
B
B
E
A
You
any
further
questions
or
comments
all
right.
Thank
you.
Moving
on
to
item
f,
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-31,
a
zoning
text
amendment
to
chapters
21.22
are
for
manufactured
homes,
residential
district
21.26,
c2,
local,
commercial

21.28,
c3,

cl
lake

and
21.32
i1
light
industrial
district
regarding
the
use
of
religious
institutions.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
a
zoning
text,
amendment
that
addresses,
what's
known
as
the
arlupa
laws
adopt
by
the
u.s
congress
back
in
2000.
It's
really
a
polishing
of
our
local
ordinances
to
make
sure
that
religious
uses
are
consistently
applied
throughout
the
zoning
districts
throughout
our
community,
and
there
was
a
little
bit
of
polishing
in
each
section
of
the
ordinance
in
order
to
bring
us
up
to
up
to
date
with
those
federal
requirements,
I
would
defer
to
stacy
bungard
a
community
development
manager
with
any
detailed
questions
on
this.
A
B
B
B
D
H
Because
I'm
getting
tired
I'll
add
a
point
of
clarity,
most
of
these
items
would
normally
be
on
the
public
works
committee
meeting
and
then
put
on
consent
for
council's
approval
at
that
level.
But
tonight's
meetings
went
a
little
differently
because
of
the
swearing
in
so
we're
glad
to
talk
about
them
in
detail
at
the
regular
council
meeting.
G
H
Anyway,
you'll
look
forward
to
a
lot
of
these
bid,
awards
being
discussed
at
the
public
works
committee.
Meeting.
This
one
in
particular,
is
a
bid
award
to
khc
construction,
and
this
is
related
to
the
primary
clarifier
2
project.
Out
of
the
wastewater
treatment
plant.
You
recall.
We
got
in
the
state's
water
plan
for
this
project
here,
9
12
months
ago
or
so,
and
that
got
us
on
the
eligibility
list
for
funding
through
the
srf
program.
E
B
Thank
you,
councilman
paulson
I'll
answer
that
so
with
this
it
would
have
to
still
meet
the
30
day,
you're,
awarding
the
bid.
The
closing
of
the
loan
will
take
place
on
june
july
15th,
so
it's
pretty
much
right
around
the
corner.
One
other
thing
that
I
would
like
to
mention
with
this
loan,
some
srf
loans
we
do
have
to
initiate
a
surcharge.
This
one
does
not
come
with
any
additional
surcharge
to
the
water
wastewater
users.
So
thank
you.
A
H
Yes,
councilman
vilhauer,
I
can't
I'd
have
to
refer
to
mike
whether
we
have
in
here
in
watertown.
I
know
I've
personally
worked
with
them
in
the
past
they're,
very
notable
contractor
when
it
comes
to
wastewater
type
of
infrastructure
installations.
Mike
do
we
have
experience
with
them
here
in
watertown.
A
Thank
you
any
further
questions
or
comments
see
none.
The
motion
is
the
approval
of
the
bid
award
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye,
aye
aye
opposed
a
motion
carried
moving
on
to
agenda
item
h,
an
approval
of
resolution
21-33
a
resolution
of
intent
to
enter
into
an
airline
transportation
system.
Lease
agreement
with
skywest
airlines
incorporated
need
a
motion
to
approve
moved
by
councilman,
buehler
second
seconded
by
councilman
tupper,
with
that
we
will
give
director
von
ai
a
break
and
go
to
city
attorney
roby.
C
As
as,
hopefully,
everybody's
heard
by
now,
skywest
airlines,
our
previous
eas
airline
provider,
has
decided
to
at
least
for
now.
As
far
as
we
know,
and
if
anybody
has
any
other
information
they
can
chime
in
on
that,
but
remain
an
airline
provider
here
in
watertown.
So
we
will
be
entering
into
a
new
lease
with
them
for
space
at
the
terminal
statute
requires
that
we
approve
this
resolution
of
intent
to
enter
into
leases
with
private
parties.
So
this
is
the
first
step
in
entering
into
a
new
lease
with
skywest.
J
Matt
I'll
ask
you
this
question,
but
having
us
with
us
having
our
essential
air
service
provider
here,
I'm
excited
to
see
that
we
got
two
airlines,
but
does
this
hinder
us
in
any
way
in
our
funding
from
the
eas
system?
Having
a
second
airline
here,
and
you
know,
how
do
they
look
at
it?
They
look
at
total
boardings.
Doesn't
matter
how
many
airlines
we
have
here,
or
do
they
only
look
at
boardings
that
relates
to
the
eas
contracted?
D
D
A
Okay,
any
further
questions
or
comments
with
that.
The
emotion
is
the
approval
of
resolution
21-33,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
with
that.
We'll
move
on
to
agenda
item.
I
I'm
going
to
ask
for
a
little
latitude.
Unless
our
parliamentarian
wants
to
correct
me.
I
will
read
this
entire
thing.
We
will
do
two
votes,
but
I
will
take
one
motion.
A
H
H
So
this
helps
put
the
the
project
together
as
as
a
whole
and
accomplishes
all
these
other
necessary
auxiliary
items
around
the
terminal.
A
and
b
are
combined,
as
you
mentioned,
with
j
j
earthworks
and
are.
We
are
recommending
approval
of
the
bid
award
to
j
j
earthworks
and
the
amount
of
just
shy
six
million
dollars
for
bid
schedules
a
and
b
the
separate
one
which
you
should
talk
about
that
now
or
wait
till
you
take
action
on
that.
H
Okay,
the
the
separate
one
bid
schedule
c
is
awarded
to
jbt
aerotech,
that
is,
for
the
boarding
bridge
the
the
pedestrian
bridge,
to
get
folks
from
the
terminal
on
to
the
plane
as
you're
all
aware.
Right
now
that
we
currently
have
to
go
outside
onto
the
tarmac
and
climb
the
ladder
to
get
into
the
plane,
it's
not
a
ladder,
but
the
boring
bridge
obviously
creates
some
a
lot
of
efficiencies
and
accommodations
to
our
traveling
public,
and
that
is
what
bids
schedule
c
is
accomplishing
now
that
being
a
unique
piece
of
infrastructure.
H
H
One
more
point
of
discussion,
I'd
like
to
have
with
this
that
we
talked
about
at
the
airport
board
meeting
on
friday
relates
to
the
project
as
a
whole
and
where
we're
at
financially
and
I'd
like
to
share
this
with
the
council.
If
you
feel
it's
appropriate
mayor
before
you
take
action
on
any
one
of
these
bids,.
H
H
So
all
these
combined
we've
got
a
really
good
picture
now,
where
we're
at
financially
and
our
consultants
have
done
a
great
job
at
laying
that
out
for
us
helping
us
understand
the
eligibility
components,
because
this
is
an
faa
project,
it's
federally
funded
to
a
certain
degree.
It's
state
funded
to
another
degree,
and
then
it's
local
funded
to
a
smaller
degree.
Yet
so
there's
a
lot
of
dynamics
that
come
into
play
for
each
one
of
these
bid
awards.
H
H
Our
consultants
again,
who
are
very
sharp
with
this
kind
of
stuff,
have
pressed
back
into
them
and
said:
no.
We
think
it
is,
and
here's
why
and
they've,
given
them
clear
justifications,
so
they're
fairly,
confident
that
that
5.4,
that
were
estimated
at
city
contributions
will
be
whittled
down
to
the
five
million
that
we
have
budgeted.
H
That
was
point
one
that
I
wanted
to
make.
The
second
point
is
the
grant
awards
that
we've
been
given
for
this
phase
of
work:
totaled
8.1
million.
As
you
recall,
the
terminal
itself
that
we
bid
last
year
is
under
construction.
That
came
in
very
competitively
and
we
were
actually
in
favor
to
the
tune
of,
I
think,
a
million
dollars
roughly
and
so
those
two
things
combined
and
then
enter
kovid
and
cost
escalating.
H
Now
that
two
million
dollars
it's
important
to
note,
we've
got
options
on
how
to
make
that
those
ends
meet
and
if
we
were
to
award
these
bids
tonight
worst
case
scenario
is
we
have
two
million
dollars
of
federal
funding
that
we
need
to
work
out
and
we
got
four
hundred
thousand
dollars
of
city
share
that
we
need
to
work
out.
That's
worst
case
scenario.
H
Again,
the
good
news
is
they've
said:
let
us
go
to
work
for
you,
we'll
see
what
we
can
find,
which
is
fairly
promising
in
the
world
of
faa
things,
that
they
come
back
with
that
kind
of
response,
so
we're
optimistic
that
they
can
that
there's
potential
there
to
bring
something
back
for
us
now
again,
worst
case
scenario:
they
come
back
and
say
sorry,
we
can't
get
you
any
more
federal
funds
for
this.
Our
other
option
to
make
ends
meet
to
get
this
project
done
to
the
extent
we
need
it.
H
We
feel
it
needs
to
be.
Is
that
we
fund
that
two
million
dollars
over
the
next
two
years
with
our
entitlement
funds,
as
most
of
the
council
may
be
aware,
some
of
you
may
not
be
aware
each
year
we're
given
a
million
dollars
in
entitlement
funds
as
an
eas
operator
as
long
as
we
meet
our
minimum
employment
requirements
to
get
that
funding
and
we've
consistently
met
at
the
last
several
years.
So
we
have
no
reason
to
think
we
won't
get
that
million
dollars
in
2022
and
again
in
2023.
H
H
H
H
We
feel
that
that
5.4
million
that
we're
currently
penciled
in
to
be
owing
by
the
city
will
come
down.
We
think
that
that
eligibility
discussion
with
the
faa
could
prove
to
be
very
positive
for
us
and
again
we're
relying
on
our
consultants
heavily
there
and
the
two
million
shortfall
in
federal
funding.
We're
confident
you
know
again.
H
I
don't
want
to
make
any
false
promises
here,
but
we
have
some
confidence
that
the
faa
will
come
back
with
some
additional
funding
for
us
and
if
they
don't,
we
feel
there's
still
a
means
here
to
accomplish
what
we
feel
we
need
to
by
spending
our
entitlement
monies
over
the
next
two
years.
The
airport
board
did
find
this
agreeable
and
they
voted
unanimously
to
recommend
this
for
approval
to
the
city
council
to
go
ahead
and
award
these
bids.
They
were
okay,
again
worst
case
scenario.
A
L
Thank
you
mayor.
The
only
thing
I'll
add
is
you
know.
With
the
engineering
estimates
we
came
in
about
a
million
and
a
half
lower
than
the
engineering
estimates,
so
I
guess
there
is
light
on
the
end
of
the
tunnel,
even
through
covid.
Here
we
did
get
some
amazing
prices
post
cobit
per
our
engineering
estimates
I'll
just
leave
it
at
that.
Thank
you.
B
L
L
F
B
J
In
a
worst
case
scenario,
I
don't
know
whether
this
is
a
christian
or
todd
or
heath
question,
but
if
the
two
million
dollars
is
something
that
we
would
then
be
required
to
use
our
entitlement
funds
for
the
next
couple
of
years
towards
would
the
city
have
to
fund
those
costs
up
front
and
basically
take
the
eas
dollars
as
a
reimbursement
back
into
it
to
re?
So
we
would
have
to
pre-fund
it
then,
as
the
million
dollars
comes
in
each
year,
bring
that
back
into
our
coffers.
Is
that
correct.
H
B
K
B
K
B
L
The
million-dollar
entitlements
can
be
released
as
early
as
november,
but
typically
as
late
as
june,
so
essentially
the
420
days
would
run
through
that
time
frame
for
our
first
million
dollars.
It
takes
roughly
45
to
60
days
to
get
reimbursed
for
these
projects.
Kristen
and
her
staff
does
a
great
job
sending
in
reimbursements
monthly.
L
L
We
can
request
up
to
97,
so
that
would
alleviate
some
of
the
burden
of
carrying
money.
Essentially,
the
2023
entitlement
carry
for
the
million
dollars
would
potentially
go
until
june
of
23,
but
could
be
as
early
as
november
of
22
to
carry
that
second
million
dollars.
The
first
million
should
be
covered
next
year,
pretty
easily.
B
L
L
D
H
That's
that's
great
consideration:
councilman
vilhar!
I
don't
believe
that
it
necessarily
compromises
that
at
all,
I
don't
think
that
the
faa
necessarily
takes
that
into
consideration
as
a
strike
against
us.
I
think
that
they
know
that
if
they
simply
can't
come
up
with
anything
that
that
were
covered,
but
I
do
believe
that
they're
going
to
try
to
get
us
some
amount
of
money
based
on
the
responses
we
we've
received
from
them.
Okay,
thank
you.
L
L
This
has
just
gotten
released
the
faqs
page
just
got
released
about
a
week
and
a
half
ago
to
the
airports
from
the
faa.
The
faa
is
still
sorting
through
this,
but
one
of
the
faq's
states
multi-yearing
on
a
current
year,
project,
2020
or
2021
could
be
based
at
the
hundred
percent
eligibility
level.
So
even
if
we
had
to
multi-year,
we
may
come
out
at
a
hundred
percent
for
those
multi-year
programs.
So
just
something
to
keep
in
mind.
We
are
actively
pursuing
this.
L
A
Thank
you
very
much
see
no
further
questions
or
comments,
we'll
move
to.
First,
the
approval
of
the
bid
to
j
j
earthworks.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
motion
carries
second
motion.
Is
the
approval
of
the
bid
award
to
jbt
aerotech
corporation,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
any
oppose,
say,
nay,
motion
carries
with
that.
We
move
on
to
item
j
and
remember
we
changed
the
wording
on
this
one
director
von.
A
I
will
explain
a
little
bit
why
item
j
approval
of
a
bid
award
for
the
snow
removal
equipment,
storage,
building
project
number
19227
to
gray
construction
in
the
amount
of
three
million

twenty
four
thousand
dollars
contingent
upon

and
the
city's
receipt
of

public
works
director
von
nai.
Please
take
it
away.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
Of
course,
this
is
the
other
component.
We
we
talked
about
in
our
previous
discussion
related
airport
terminal
project
as
a
whole.
This
particular
contract
relates
to
the
actual
physical
relocation
of
the
existing.
I'm
sorry,
this
is
to
construct
the
new
replacement
sre
building
and
that
would
be
located
on
the
airport
property.
H
It
would
replace
our
current
structure
with
a
brand
new
facility
and
again
this
was
designed
with
meat
and
hunt
and
helms
associates
and
other
sub
consultants
that
they
utilize
and
we've
gone
through
the
bidding
process
for
this
as
well,
we
did
have
some
unique
dynamics
came
into
play
with
the
bid
award
on
this
particular
project.
I
believe
ws
construction
is
online
with
us
this
evening.
They
were,
they
commented
earlier
in
the
public
comments
section.
They
may
want
to
speak
to
this
bid
award.
H
They
were
the
apparent
low
bidder
for
this
contract
and
review
of
the
bid
documents,
their
consultants
comb
through
and
find
detail
to
make
sure
everything
meets
the
contractual
requirements
of
each
and
every
bid.
We
did
find
that
there
was
a
disqualifier
in
their
bid.
They
did
not
provide
a
certain
document.
A
piece
of
documentation
that
was
required
of
all
bidders
and
that
then
triggers
us
to
have
to
look
at
the
next
low
bidder.
The
next
little
bitter
is
the
one
that's
being
recommended
tonight
for
award,
which
would
be
great
construction.
H
The
good
news
for
the
city
is
that
that
the
difference
between
bids
was
not
substantial
in
relation
to
the
overall
cost
of
the
project.
It
was
about
a
thirty
thousand
dollar
increase
in
bid
on
over
four
million
dollar
project,
so
the
the
the
recommendation
from
the
consultants
and
the
staff
would
be
to
award
to
great
construction
due
to
that
disqualifier
in
the
bid
documents
that
were
received
from
ws
construction
and
with
that
again
hamilton
associates
is
online
and
airport
manager,
todd,
syrey
and
we'll
stand
by
for
questions.
C
A
A
A
G
G
G
G
So
it's
a
little
bit
troubling
we're
kind
of
scratching
our
heads
a
little
bit.
We
were
the
apparent
low,
so
that
happens
sometimes
sometimes
we're
going
to
be
the
guy
in
second
place,
that's
off
by
30
grand
we
get
it
it.
Just
it's
cause
for
pause
in
our
industry.
When
we
see
this
type
of
thing
occur,.
G
So
I'd
just
like
that
to
be
considered
by
the
council,
I'd
like
it
to
be
part
of
the
record
and
that
ws
was
the
apparent
low,
except
for
the
fact
that
people
are
considering
a
disqualifying
event
when
they
could
in
fact
be
deciding
something
just
the
opposite:
they're
choosing
to
make
it
material.
At
this
point
and
again
we
find
the
language
ambiguous
at
best,
despite
our
best
efforts
to
submit
everything
that
was
required.
A
A
H
Yes,
absolutely
mayor:
no,
we
we
greatly
appreciate
ws
construction's
bid.
You
know,
anytime,
we
get
competitive
bids
in
in
the
city
for
projects,
that's
obviously
a
benefit
to
the
city.
We
hope
that
any
action
tonight
doesn't
deter
them
from
having
interest
in
the
future
working
here
in
watertown,
and
I
really
sincerely
express
that
from
the
engineering
staff
standpoint
in
relation
to
the
anomaly
or
the
disqualifier
there's
a
section
of
the
of
the
bid
documents,
20.02
20.02.
H
As
as
eric
cited
from
ws
construction,
he
is
correct
that
two
out
of
the
three
bidders
did
not
provide
that
documentation.
It
turns
out
that
the
second
low
bidder,
great
construction,
is
the
only
firm
that
did
comply
with
that
bid
document
requirement.
We
have
discussed
this
with
the
city
attorney.
Of
course,
anytime.
We
get
any
contractual
matters
like
this
to
bounce
it
off
from
a
legal
perspective.
H
C
Thank
you
mayor.
I
would
just
reiterate
the
language
I
do
have
it
in
front
of
me.
I
could
put
it
up
on
the
screen
if
anybody's
interested
regarding
the
qualification
of
bidders
that
that
heath
had
mentioned
that
director
van
I
had
mentioned,
there's
also
language
subsequent
to
that
that
discusses
the
irregular
proposals,
which
would
this
this
would
fall
under
subsection
c.
A
J
J
G
It
is
mentioned
in
the
869
document,
869
page
document
on
page
142,
section
20-02.
I
cannot
dispute
that.
It
is
there.
However,
it
is
not
a
part
of
the
section
labeled
instruction
to
bidders.
It
is
not
in
the
section
labeled
notice
to
bidders-
and
it
just
wasn't
mentioned
specifically
upon
my
ask
for
clarification
the
day
before.
J
J
A
B
A
H
Yeah,
that's
great
consideration
for
any
given
bid.
I
would,
I
would
say
councilman
danforth,
and
it
varies
on
a
per
bid
basis.
It
would
depend
on
the
complexity
of
the
bid
and
the
nature
of
the
work
being
done,
and
our
level
of
assurance
that
we're
wanting
to
receive
from
that
bidder
that
they
are
indeed
qualified
to
do
the
work
in
this
circumstances.
C
In
on
that,
as
well,
councilman
danforth-
and
you
know
where
I
think
that
would
come
into
play
heavily
is-
is,
if
I
formed
matt
roby
construction
company
have
never
done
a
lick
of
construction.
Work
in
my
life
complied
with
everything
in
the
bid.
Specs
happened
to
be
the
apparent
low
bidder,
and
the
council
saw
my
statement
of
qualifications
and
it
was
nil.
J
C
Right
you're
right,
so
we
want
to
so,
even
if,
if
we,
if
we
again,
this
is
just
a
hypothetical
if
we
were
to
receive
a
series
of
bids
on
a
specific
project
and
there
was
a
bidder
that
was
an
apparent
low
bidder.
But
then
we
saw
their
their
qualifications
weren't
anywhere
near
what
we
need
for
the
project.
C
The
council
could
find,
in
the
bid
in
the
action
to
approve
the
bid
to
prove
the
award
of
the
contract
that
the
apparent
low
bidder
was
not
a
responsible
bidder
which
the
statute
allows
the
the
council
to
make
that
determination
in
the
bid
award.
So
you
could
use
that
statement
of
qualifications
to
determine
that
the
low
bidder
is
not
responsible
because
of
the
lack
of
experience
on
that
particular
type
of
project.
E
E
H
E
H
H
Is
that
your
question
councilman
paulson,
I
would
say
that
that
is
a
common
practice
to
see
statement
of
qualifications
being
required
again,
circumstantially
based
on
the
kind
of
work
being
done
and
the
community's
level
of
comfort
with
needing
to
know
who
they're
getting
to
do
that
work,
whether
it's
common
for
airport
related
projects.
I
couldn't
necessarily
speak
to
that,
but
it
is
generally
speaking
commonly
used
in
those
circumstances
where
it's
a
specialty
type
project
or
there's
a
lot
of
rules
and
regulations
that
need
to
be
followed.
H
F
F
F
E
F
Not
in
my
experience,
but
I
believe
our
office
has
seen
experiences
of
that
with
other
types
of
projects,
non-airport
related
I'd
reference
like
water
and
sewer
type
projects
using
srf
or
rural
development
funding,
but
I
can't
I
I
don't.
I
haven't
personally
been
involved
with
any
project.
That's
experienced
that
okay.
A
E
D
A
E
E
H
It
is
a
good
consideration,
I
think,
we've
vetted
through
that
with
staff
and
our
consultants
and
the
airport
board
and
deemed
that
this
was
the
path
to
go
down.
We
all
deemed
appropriate
to
make
that
representation
of
council
and
to
recommend
that
for
for
your
action
to
award
this
bid
as
proposed,
and
with
that,
I
guess
I'll
I'll
yield.
My
comments.

comments

H
This
relocation
is
an
important
part
of
this
project
to
help
us
with
the
continued
operations
through
this
coming
winter
and
because
it's
under
the
bid
laws
the
bid
limits
of
a
hundred
thousand
dollars
the
airport
manager,
todd
syrey,
did
go
out
and
procure
quotes
for
this
work
and
great
construction
was
the
lowest
quote
presented
to
him
and
we're
proposing
to
the

The
approval
of
that
quote
award
for

transportation
system,
lease
agreement

corporation,
doing

I
will
need
a
motion
for
approval,
so
moved
councilman
paulson
moves.
C
Thank
you
mayor
at
the
previous
meeting,
the
council
approved
a
resolution
like
we.
We
have
just
done
this
evening
for
sky
west.
At
the
previous
meeting,
we
approved
a
similar
resolution
indicating
that
tonight
you'll
be
considering
the
lease
for
keyline
key
lime,
air
corp
to
occupy
space
at
our
airport
terminal
and
the
lease
is
basically
our
template
lease
that
we've
that
we've
used
for
the
last
few
eas
contracts.
C
Some
key
details
here
of
this
particular
document.
The
dates
will
run
from
july
1st
2021
to
may
31st,
2023
ben
rare
connector,
keyline
mayor,
doing
businesses,
denver
connection
they'll,
be
leasing,
288
square
feet
of
exclusive
space
at
10,
a
square
foot
and
350
square
feet
of
shared
space
at
seven
dollars
per
square
foot.
A
A
J
We
have
a
new,
obviously
a
new
facility.
That's
coming,
I'm
not
sure
when
that
time
frame
is,
but
how
do
these
leases
and
the
one
that
we
had
talked
about
earlier?
How
does
that
correlate
with
the
current
facility
versus
the
new
facility
when
we're
talking
about
not
necessarily
the
cost,
but
the
spaces
that
they're
does
this
change
when,
when
the
new
facility
comes
on
board
or
what
happens.
C
Councilman,
what
I
anticipate
happening
there
is
once
the
new
facility
is,
is
up
and
running
well
prior
to
that,
once
just
prior
to
us.
Opening
up
a
new
facility
we'll
identify
the
airport
manager,
along
with
our
consultants,
will
identify
the
new
space
that
will
be
allocated
to
assuming
both
the
airlines
are
still
operating
at
that
time
will
identify
this
the
space
that
will
be
allocated.
C
A
Seeing
none
there
is
the
motion
is
the
approval
of
the
lease
agreement
with
key
lime,
air
doing
business
as
a
denver
air
connection,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
A
motion.
Carries
final
item
on
the
agenda
for
tonight.
Is
item
m
authorization
for
the
city
manager
manager
to
execute
a
quit
claim
deed,
to
provide
clear
title
to
certain
abandoned
railroad,
right-of-way
owned
by
dpc,
proper,
say,
properties
llc.
A
C
Thank
you
mayor
for
those
that
may
recall
that
we
have
been
on
the
council
at
that
time.
We
went
through
this
a
similar
scenario,
not
that
within
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
I
suppose
so.
The
story
goes
is
that,
back
in
the
year,
2000
the
railroad
deeded,
certain
railroad
right-of-way
to
the
city
under
the
under
the
false
assumption
that
they
owned
the
property.
At
the
time.
C
Through
a
series
of
events,
it
turns
out
the
railroads
never
owned
the
property
they
operated
in
an
easement,
the
state
of
south
dakota
owned
the
property
still
so.
What
happened
here
is
recently
dpc
properties
and
this
property.
To
give
you
an
idea,
is
just
it's
adjacent
to
fourth
avenue
off
of
oakwood
drive,
there's
some
new
storage
units
that
have
just
recently
gone
up
there,
recently
dpc
property
purchased
from
the
state,
this
property
and
then
a
title
search
determined
that
a
warranty
had
purported
to
convey
the
property
to
the
city
back
in
the
year
2000.
C
A
C
Properties
in
order
to
provide
them
clear
title,
it's
kind
of
an
anomaly
again.
It
happened
recently
with
a
terrex
property
adjacent
to
the
ram
coda
out
there.
When,
oh,
I
think
it
was.
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
the
company
when
neil
tapio's
company
bought
that
building
from
terrex
out
there
within
the
last
couple
years.
A
A
J
To
me,
a
checklist
seems
of
exactly
what
is
required
is
very
appropriate
when
you
start
talking
about
it,
eight
nine
hundred
page
document,
it
seems
like
we
just
let's
be
honest
if
they
were
truly
qualified,
the
city
just
lost
thirty
thousand
bucks
and
I'd
like
to
know
how
do
we
prevent
that
in
the
future?
Are
there
ways
to
prevent
that
and
if,
if
a
requirement,
procedurally,
is
that
we're
going
to
have
a
checklist
that
affords
the
the
people
that
are
betting,
a
a
better
or
clearer
description
what's
required?
J
A
A
A
E
E
E
K
Had
all
three
bidders
not
provided
that
information.
I
think
the
conversation
would
be
different,
but
we
did
have
a
qualified
bettor
who
completed
all
of
the
documentation
in
the
appropriate
fashion,
and
so
I
think
we
made
the
right
decision
here
in
awarding
that,
but
that
doesn't
mean
that
we
can't
tighten
up
the
processes
and
make
sure
that
people
understand
what
the
expectations
are,
but
we
did
have
someone
who
who
met
that
requirement.
K
A
Chair
would
like
to
comment
on
this.
I
would
like
to
stress
that
the
staff
did
everything
right
in
this.
They
followed
our
rules.
They
came
up
with
a
bid.
We
satisfied
the
problem
we
solved
it.
I
want
to
commend
the
staff
for
doing
so.
At
the
same
time,
this
provides
a
wonderful
opportunity
to
highlight
the
new
form
of
government
that
we
are
entering
into
where
the
city
council
we
as
the
elected
officials.
It
is
our
job
to
express
to
staff
if
we
want
to
start
doing
something
different.
A
If
we
want
that
checklist,
this
is
something
that
we
need
to
inform
them
of,
and
then
they
will
satisfy
that
because
we
haven't
required
them
to
have
a
checklist
they've
had
their
rules,
they've,
followed
them,
everything's
been
great
and
there's
been.
Everything
has
been
done
correctly
if
we,
as
a
council,
wish
to
direct
them
to
do
it.
A
E
You
mayor,
I
just
wanted
to
bring
up
this
letter
from
owen
companies.
I'm
sure
we
all
received.
It
is
my
guess,
because
it
was
just
addressed
to
the
council
specifically
mayor
holine
here,
but
it
was
dated
july
1st
and
I
bring
it
up
as
old
business
because
it's
been
brought
before
staff
and
council
before
it.
A
A
I
would
ask
councilman
paulson:
I
don't
want
to
gavel
you
down,
but
this
letter
was
not
something
that
was
ever
taken
up
as
official
business,
so
I
would
ask
you
not
to
address
the
content
of
the
letter.
Yes,
absolutely!
That's
fine,
if
I,
but
I
will
not
gavel
you
down
if
you
want
to
speak
on
something
nope.
E
A
Very
fair,
the
just
for
the
public.
We
as
council
members,
a
lot
of
us
get
specific
letters
sent
to
individuals,
and
sometimes
someone
in
the
public
sends
a
mass
letter
to
or
mass
email
to,
every
one
of
us,
and
in
this
case
we
all
of
us,
I
believe,
received
a
letter.
But
this
wasn't
the
only
one
that
I
know
that
we
received
this
week
and
councilman
paulson
was
just
asking.
It
was
a
legitimate
question
for
debate.
A
However,
since
there
is
not
an
official
agenda
item,
I'm
going
to
ask
all
of
us
to
hold
off
on
this
because
to
speak
about
every
email
or
letter
that
we
get
from
someone
in
the
public
would
create
a
lot
of
problems
going
forward.
And
that's
why
I
would
say:
let's
please
not
do
that:
I'm
not
ruling
anyone
out
of
order,
but
just
explaining
to
everyone.
This
is
why
I
would
suggest
that
any
further
old
business
the
chair
will
ask
for
a
little
bit
of
latitude
on
this.
A
I
was
debating
to
make
this
an
announcement
or
under
old
business.
I
think
it's
appropriate
under
both,
but
a
little
bit
more
under
old
business,
because
I
want
to
stress
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
receiving
have
been
a
lot
of
allegations
and
a
lot
of
rumors
to
all
of
us
up
here
about
several
items
that
will
be
facing
the
city
of
watertown
and
I'm
talking
big
budget
items,
I'm
not
going
to
specify
any
one,
because
it
applies
to
many.
A
I
want
to
stress
to
everyone
that
rumors
are
just
that
they
are
unfounded
and
until
you
actually
ask
a
council
member
point
blank
or
ask
us
as
a
deliberative
body
it
I
just
want
to
remind
you
anything
you
hear
is
rumor.
Any
allegation
is
not
only
rumor
and
unfounded.
It's
possibly
counterproductive
to
what
we
are
trying
to
accomplish
as
a
city.
A
If
you
want
to
attack
what
you
think
a
council
member
may
or
may
not
think
about
a
budget
item
or
an
item
going
forward,
is
you
run
the
risk
of
annoying
them
just
as
much
as
pressuring
them
into
voting
for
something?
So
I
would
say
we
are
very
new
to
this
process.
We.
This
is
our
first
night
in
a
new
form
of
government.
A
We
as
council
members,
even
though
a
lot
of
us
have
been
here
before
we
are
all
still
new
to
feeling
our
way
around,
and
this
is,
as
I
spoke
about
previously,
the
council
is
going
to
set
the
vision
the
staff
is
going
to
implement
it.
Anything
that
you
have
heard
in
the
public
or
talked
about
in
the
rumor
is,
if
it's
already
on
something
that
we
haven't
have
have
inherited
as
a
topic
is
just
that
that
was
inherited
from
a
previous
council,
even
though
some
of
us
were
here.
That
was
a
previous
council.
A
This
council
cannot
be
held
accountable
to
that,
but
all
of
these
projects
are
still
going
forward.
They
were
already
voted,
for.
There
is
no
agenda
item
that
is
taking
them
away
or
derailing
them
or
cutting
funding,
or
anything
like
that.
So
please
stop
the
rumors,
but
just
please
do
seek
answers.
I
I
encourage
seeking
answers,
but
not
spreading
misinformation
or
incomplete
information.
I
think
would
be
the
proper
words
so
that
under
old
business,
the
inherited
items,
as
far
as
I
know,
are
all
still
moving
forward,
and
until
you
hear
otherwise,
I
would
ask
to
remem.
D
I've
got
kind
of
a
strange
report
from
the
utility
board
meeting
last
week.
Our
superintendent
laner
from
the
utilities
department
attended.
I
think
it's
a
midwest
energies,
consumers,
association
meeting
in
yankton
recently
and
the
topic
of
zebra
mussels
was
discussed.
As
we
all
know,
we've
got
zebra
mussels
in
lake
campesca
and
a
couple
possible
options
were
thrown
out.
That
are
being
this,
that
are
being,
you
know,
investigated
as
far
as
possible
possible
benefits
to
kill
these
things
off.
D
One
is
the
use
of
ultraviolet
lights
that
one
kills
the
larva
and,
secondly,
renders
the
adults
sterile,
so
they
can't
reproduce.
That
was
one
item
that
was
thrown
out
as
a
possibility.
Another
is
that
apparently,
fish
hatcheries
are
now
breeding
a
type
of
sunfish
that
eats
these
things.
So
anyway,
I
thought
it
was
interesting,
reported
utility
board
meeting
but
does
have
merits,
or
you
know
the
burton
into
watertown.
