I
I'll
I'll
take
the
blame
for
moving
h
I
and
k.
I
don't
trust,
I
mean
it's
not
that
I
don't
trust
what
the
staff
has
done.
The
recommendation
is
coming
forth,
it's
just
their
large
dollar
amounts
involved
and
I
guess
I
would
like
to
have
us-
have
a
chance
to
individually
discuss
the
items
and
take
a
vote
on
them.
A
A
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
public
comments.
This
is
the
time
reserve
for
anyone
who
would
like
to
make
a
public
comment
to
step
forward
and
do
so.
We
do
have
a
sign
up
sheet
for
in-person
comments
and
a
policy
for
all.
If
anyone
wishes
to
speak,
please
come
forward
or
say
permission
to
speak.
If
you're
online
see
no
one
will
move
on
to
approval
of
the
agenda,
a
motion
by
holine
and
a
second
by
bueller
any
discussion,
yes
councilman.
Why.
C
A
A
A
Have
a
motion

rademski,
and
I
will
go

just
let
people
know
this
is
our
an
annual
event
and
we
we
hold
the
wine
walk
every
year,
downtown
and
kicks
off
our
thursday
night
lives,
and
if
anyone
has
any
questions,
we'll
be
glad
to
answer
those,
but
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
at
this
time.
Is
there
anyone
here
that
would
like
to
speak
about
this?
A
See
no
one,
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
council.
Do
you
have
any

of
alcoholic
beverage
licenses
for
the
period
of

2021
to

2022.
A
B
A
A
G
H
It's
about
six
slides
just
to
show
some
photos
so
that
you
all
have
an
understanding
of
what
we're
what
we're
looking
at
doing
so
prior
to
2009,
we
had
a
civilian
dispatch
supervisor.
It
was
a
dispatcher
who
worked
as
a
dispatcher,
but
then
also
did
some
supervisory
duties
when
that
person
retired
in
2009.
We
chose
not
to
refill
the
position.
H
Instead,
we
pushed
that
managerial
responsibility
onto
a
police
captain,
and
I
was
actually
that
police
captain
back
in
2009,
so
I
have
some
of
the
historical
knowledge
of
what
was
involved
and
then,
ironically,
it
was
also
that
police
captain
who
was
still
doing
that
job
up
until
a
couple
of
weeks
ago.
So
I
have
the
current
perspective.
Also,
quite
a
bit
has
changed
since
2009
and
that
we
have
we
went
from
nine
communication
officers
to
12
full-time
plus
two
part-time.
H
The
technology
has
changed
quite
a
bit.
That
was
our
old
building.
This
is
our
new
building.
It's
it's
entirely
possible
that
we
continue
doing
what
we
had
been
doing.
It's
it's
feasible
to
do
that.
It's
just
that!
It's
taking
up
more
and
more
of
that
police
captain's
job
nowadays
than
what
it
was
in
2009,
because
the
job
is
more
technically
demanding
and
it's
also
we've
expanded
to
six
counties.
H
What
we're
here
today
is
to
ask
permission
for
you
or
from
you
to
have
a
civilian
911
manager
position.
So
what
what
that
would
be
is
to
take
it
off
the
hands
of
the
police
department
and
put
it
over
to
our
911
center
budget.
Instead,
we
are
the
third
largest
public
safety
answering
point
or
psap
in
the
state
by
population
we're
one
of
only
five
that
provides
service
to
more
than
two
counties.
H
So
in
other
words,
65
of
our
revenue
comes
from
911
telephone
surcharge
money
and
that
telephone
surcharge
money
is
designed
and
meant
to
provide
for
911
services,
not
for
non-emergency
or
non
911
services.
So
our
dispatch
center
does
do
quite
a
bit
more
than
9-1-1
services.
We
also
provide
dispatching
services
for
the
watertown
police
department
for
those
non-emergency
or
non-911
calls,
and
in
fact
we
take
48
000
calls
for
service
a
year
in
the
dispatch
center,
and
only
13
000
of
them
are
9-1-1
calls.
H
H
Even
if
we
didn't
have
9-1-1
services
being
provided
out
of
the
dispatch
center,
we
would
still
need
to
have
a
dispatch
center,
because
there
are.
You
know
in
fact
that
73
percent
of
our
call
volume
is
non
911,
so
we
would
still
need
to
have
a
you
know:
a
dispatch
center
there.
It
wouldn't
be
a
911
dispatch
center,
but
it
would
be
a
dispatch
center
to
take
traffic
stops,
burglaries,
thefts,
those
things
that
don't
come
in
over
9-1-1,
so
there's
still
a
need
for
that.
There.
H
What
would
the
new
person
do?
Basically,
the
new
person
that
we're
looking
to
hire
would
fill
the
same
role
that
the
police
captain
was
was
doing
or
is
currently
doing.
So
it's
all
that
working
with
the
other
counties,
acting
as
a
liaison
between
the
911
center
and
the
30
or
so
different
fire
departments,
and
a
dozen
or
so
different
law
enforcement
agencies
and
overall,
just
managing
the
operations
of
the
911
center.
H
So
they
would
stay
busy
it
would.
This
move
would
benefit
the
911
center
in
that
they
would
have
somebody
that
could
focus
100
of
the
time
on
the
911
center.
That
would
also
benefit
the
police
department,
because
what
chief
doom
you'll
talk
about
here
in
a
little
bit
is
is
what
we're
able
to
do
with
that.
Freeing
up
that
that
current
captain
position
that's
currently
managing
a
911
center,
we
can
do
a
lot
more
police,
related
community
oriented
things
on
the
police
side
of
our
department,
I'll.
H
Let
chief
toomey
here
talk
about,
or
do
you
want
me?
I
think
maybe
it
makes
sense
to
go
through.
I'm
going
to
show
you
a
couple
of
pictures
here.
This
is
our
existing
9-1-1
center
and
I'm
not
sure
if
mitch,
if
you've
got
this
screen
grabbed
on
here
or
not
so
that
anybody
else
can
see
that
it
was
just
a
quick
photo
of
our
911
center
that
wall.
H
That's
in
the
background
here,
this
wall
right
here
was
originally
constructed
as
just
a
temporary
wall
that
that
kind
of
hides
our
shell
space
that
was
designed
in
2011,
we
moved
into
the
building.
That
is
a
space
that
was
there
for
dispatch
center
expansion.
So
we
need.
If
we
get
this
position,
we
need
to
have
a
place
for
that
person
to
have
an
office,
so
we're
going
to
use
part
of
that
space
as
an
office.
This
is
just
that
shell
space
right
now,
where
it's
currently
being
used
as
the
photo
studio
for
new.
E
H
H
We've
got
a
quote
from
a
local
contractor
in
town
that
that
says
the
top
dollar
of
that
would
be
sixty
two
thousand
dollars
to
do
that
renovation
or
that
construction,
and
that
was
an
estimate
that
was
airing
on
the
side
of
being
greater
than
anything
we
could
come
up
with.
In
addition
to
that,
we've
got
about
five
thousand
dollars
in
furniture
again
estimated
out
just
for
the
the
desk
and
the
tables
and
such
like
that.
H
That's
the
the
pay
grade
that
the
city
uses,
which
translates
into
about
60
000
a
year.
So,
but
that's
really
about
eighty
six
thousand
dollars
a
year
by
the
time
the
benefits
come
into
play,
so
half
of
that
plus
the
construction
plus
the
furniture
we
would
be
paying
for
out
of
out
of
the
911
center
funds
that
we
have
and
then
carrying
that
forward.
We'd
be
able
to
do
this
through
2027
before
the
council
would
have
to
address
the
issue
of
keeping
this
person
on
the
payroll
or
not
beyond
into
2028..
H
H
In
addition
to
that,
there's
cares
act,
money
that
was
put
into
the
911
center
budget,
which
is
580
000,
however
kristen's
more
updated
numbers
than
what
I
had
shows
that
at
648
000
that
entered
into
their
last
year
and
then
there's
also
137
000
in
cash
carried
over
from
previous
years,
so
right
around
the
neighborhood
of
a
million
dollars.
That's
that's
available
to
us
to
fund
this
position
and
that's
how
we
would
fund
it
through.
You
can
see
at
the
bottom.
H
G
Bring
up
the
truck
thanks
ryan,
it's
important
to
note
that
we've
wanted
to
do
this
for
quite
some
time,
even
early
on
when
lee
first
became
chief.
We
talked
about
this
it
just
this
is
the
most
opportune
time
to
do
it,
because
those
funds
that
ryan
spoke
of
are
only
available
for
9-1-1
purposes.
We
can't
use
them
for
anything
else,
other
than
9-1-1
purposes,
correct.
Yes,
so
if
you
look
at
our
old
org
chart
it's
pretty
flat,
so
you
have
three
captains
or
four
captains.
G
Excuse
me:
three
captains,
the
assistant
chief
and
lee,
so
out
of
those
captains,
really
the
only
the
assistant
chief
was
taking
care
of
the
lion's
share
of
the
operations
in
the
police
department.
So
I
had
all
the
law
enforcement
officers,
including
patrol
and
cid
reporting
to
me.
Obviously,
I
had
sergeants
as
first
reporters,
but
I
had
to
fill
out
all
their
evaluations
and,
and
so
the
assistant
chief
was
probably
the
busiest
person
in
the
per
in
the
department,
not
just
because
I
was
doing
it,
but
that's
just
how
it
was
structured.
G
The
911
captain
oversaw
the
dispatcher,
so
they
had
the
13
this.
He
had.
The
13
this
dispatchers
reporting
to
him
so
he
was
in
charge
of
those
supervisory
roles,
but
then
you
look
at
like
the
captain
of
patrol
services
up
there
and
you
can
see
that
they
didn't
have
anybody.
They
weren't
supervising
anybody.
So
essentially
they
were
a
manager,
they
didn't
have
any
leadership
qualities,
they
didn't
have
any
opportunities.
Well,
they
had
opportunities,
but
nobody
to
directly
report
to
them.
G
So
what
we're
going
to
do
with
this
new
captain
position?
Technically,
it's
a
new
captain
position
is
change.
The
structure
the
traditionally
across
the
country,
the
chief
of
police,
is
responsible
for
the
external
environment.
The
assistant
chief
is
responsible
for
the
internal
environment,
so
the
assistant
chief
oversees
the
day-to-day
operations,
the
chief,
is
responsible
for
the
budget
for
public
relations,
for
the
vision
for
the
mission
and
overall,
the
whole
police
department.
So
we
have
this
new
chart
where
we're
going
to
break
it
back
down
to
where
it
was
about
10.
What,
when.
H
G
We
used
to
have
destruction,
we
had
a
captain
over
patrol,
we
had
a
captain
over
the
cid
and
then
we
had
a
administrative
captain.
So
that's
what
we
did.
We
took
all
the
roles
that
each
one
of
the
captains
had
and
now
we
spread
them
out
a
little
bit
more
fairly.
I
guess
you
could
say
this
gives
every
captain
the
chance
to
mentor
coach
and
be
a
leader
within
their
division.
It
gives
us
the
ability
to
be
more
efficient
because
we
have
a
better
reporting
chain
of
command
for
anybody
that
was
in
the
military.
G
It
was
the
sergeants
to
me
and
then
to
the
chief.
There
was
no
middle
people,
so
there
was
no
solving
any
issues
at
the
lowest
level.
Having
that
extra
layer
in
there
gives
our
officers
the
ability
to
solve
the
problems
or
at
the
lowest
level.
So
freeing
up
this
captain
is
going
to
be
huge
for
our
department.
It's
going
to
increase
our
efficiency
and
it's
going
to
make
us
more
productive.
G
A
C
C
H
Yeah,
what
what
that
person
does?
Well,
first
of
all,
let's,
let's
I'll,
shed
some
light
on
on
that
about
the
people
on
duty
at
any
given
time
each
of
the
day
parts
those
dispatchers
work
in
eight-hour
days,
so
that's
divided
up
into
a
morning
shift
afternoon
and
an
overnight
shift.
So
there
are
four
people
on
each
of
those
shifts,
but
of
course,
because
they
need
days
off.
That
means
there
are
three
people
scheduled
to
work
at
any
given
time.
H
If
you
were
to
go
over
there
right
now,
you'd
see
three
people
sitting
in
the
chairs
there.
So
it's
not
so
much
the
day-to-day
supervision
that
I
do.
We
we
do
have
what
we
call
lead
communications
officers.
They
are
one
person
from
each
of
those
shifts
serves
as
a
low-level
supervisor
or
a
front-line
supervisor
for
each
of
the
shifts
so
they're
able
to
handle
some
of
that
day-to-day
supervision.
H
It's
more
of
the
managerial
function
that
that
I
do
and
that's
the
the
the
contract
issues
with
the
counties,
the
sometimes
it's
collecting
payment
from
the
counties.
It's
the
liaison
activities
out
going
and
introducing
ourselves
and
meeting
with
the
local
fire
departments
and
and
managing
that
part
of
the
responsibilities
too.
In
addition
to
that,
that's
something
that
I
haven't
touched
on
here.
Yet
is
I'm
the
county's
911
coordinator,
which
is
the
what
we
call
the
msag
or
the
master
street
addressing
guide
every
time.
H
Somebody
need
builds
a
new
house
that
house
needs
to
be
addressed
properly
so
that
it's
locatable
for
emergency
services
and
I'm
not
the
one
that
that
comes
up
with
the
address.
That's
first
district,
we
contract
with
them,
but
I
do
need
to
update
that
master
street
addressing
guide
so
that
it
maps
properly.
H
I
dealt
with
one
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
where
somebody
built
a
house
out
east
of
casey's
on
19th
street,
and
I
think
it
was
first
avenue
south
was
the
first
avenue
north,
maybe
but
it
the
road
prior
to
that
stopped
in
the
2100
block.
Now
they've
done
construction
and
added
two
more
blocks
on
there.
Somebody
builds
a
house,
they
go
to
their
local
phone
company
and
they
want
to
have
a
phone
put
there
and
the
phone
company
says:
oh,
that
address
doesn't
exist.
H
Somebody
has
to
go
in
and
extend
the
range
of
that
of
that
block
so
that
it
catches
and
sort
of
maps
correctly
for
us.
So
there's
a
lot
of
job
functions
like
that
that
are
not
directly
supervising
the
dispatchers,
but
it's
it's
the
the
technical
stuff
in
the
background
that,
in
addition,
just
the
upkeep
and
maintenance
of
the
equipment
over
there
and
we've
got
a
great
I.t
staff
that
helps
with
that.
But
their
knowledge
is
limited
on
their
radio
side
of
things
and
the
the
911
telephone
side
of
things.
H
So
I
would
venture
to
guess
it's
about
two
or
three
times
a
month
that
my
phone
rings
in
the
middle
of
the
night,
and
I
got
to
come
in
and
basically
put
some
duct
tape
on
something.
Until
the
you
know
the
we
can
call
somebody
in
the
morning
to
put
a
more
permanent
fix
on
it.
It's
usually
fixing
a
work
or
finding
a
workaround
that
keeps
us
operational
until
the
following
morning.
So
I
don't
know
if
that
shed
some
light
on
what
you're
asking
about.
G
G
G
I
would
be
completely
lost
if
I
was
in
there
and
now
we're
taking
a
cop
in
there
to
manage
pretty
much
a
civilian
position,
we're
the
only
peace
app
in
the
state
of
south
dakota
that
that
has
a
police
officer
managing
their
9-1-1
center.
So
I
mean
it's:
it's
definitely
an
improvement
into
efficiency
on
both
sides.
9-1-1
and
police.
H
C
I
remember
at
one
point
they
weren't
giving
100
of
those.
It
was
less
than
that.
That's
that,
but
that
was
those
numbers
were
going
up.
Is
it
100
that
now
comes
our
way?
Yes,
then
the
following
question
is
the
monies
we
get
from
them
and
versus
our
expenses
are
on
the
center.
That
gap
was
widening.
If
I
remember
over
the
years,
is
that
still
the
trend
and
what
will
the
trend
be
going
forward.
H
Getting
better
in
that,
when
you
remember,
I
think
when,
when
you
were
involved
with
with
it
last,
it
was
75
cents
per
telephone
line
that
they
were
being
taxed
or
that's
the
surcharge
of
75
cents
per
line.
They
have
since
changed
it
to
a
dollar
and
a
quarter
per
line
per
month,
so
that
helped
us
offset
some
of
that
that
funding
gap
that
you
were
talking
about,
but
it's
still
there.
The
911
center
still
does
not
operate
without
some
assistance
from
the
city
and
to
the
tune
of
about
300
000
every
year.
H
H
D
Both
you
guys
have
said
this,
but
I
guess
I
want
to
ask
of
of
chris
and
not
that
I'm
questioning
what
you're
telling
and
telling
us,
but
kristin
the
the
the
580
or
600
and
whatever
thousand
of
cares,
act,
money
that
is
specifically
designated
for
911.
Otherwise
we're
not
taking
away
from
the
general
fund
the
care
zak
money
that
came
into
our
general
fund.
B
So
when
I
brought
in
the
cares
act
funding
because
the
e-911
department
was
what
we
used
to
capture
some
of
that
funding
to
get
reimbursed
from
the
state,
the
e911
salaries
that
I
used,
I
did
place
into
to
this
fund,
specifically
so
that
648
000
was
used
from
e91
to
receive
the
reimbursement.
So
that's
where
I
put
it
not
into
the
general
fund.
B
Yes-
and
I
don't
know
if
ryan
mentioned
it,
but
the
197
000
has
not
been
secured,
but
if
it
is
then
with
the
rest
of
the
layout
for
up
until
the
2028
budget,
I
think
it's
a
very
good
projection
and
I
do
agree
that
we
can
get
to
about
the
2027
without
having
to
seek
additional
funds
from
either
the
general
or
the
capital
improvement
fund,
and
a
lot
could
change.
As
ryan
stated.
The
surcharge
right
now
is
at
a
dollar
25
who
says
that
it
won't
increase
lately
but
yeah.
F
B
B
G
A
Hopefully,
you
get
a
contractor
right
away.
Yes,
thanks
guys.
Thank
you
right.
Item
d
is
approval
of
resolution
number
21-15,
requesting
the
south
dakota
department
of
transportation
to
select
banner
associates
inc
to
perform
the
2021
bridge
inspection
services
for
the
city
of
watertown
I'll
motion,
my
why,
in
a
second
by
holleen
and
I'll,
ask
the
public
works
director
city,
engineer,
heath
von
nai
to
tell
us
about
this?
Please.
J
Absolutely
thank
you
mayor.
This
is
a
fairly
routine
measure
here
before
the
council
tonight
in
relation
to
our
annual
bridge
inspections
that
we
carry
out.
We
have
a
series
of
10
structures
within
the
city
that
we're
responsible
for
those
10
structures
are
on
the
south,
dakota
dot's
list
for
inspections.
J
We
do
rotate
them
on
an
every
other
year
basis,
so
we
perform
five
structure
inspections
per
year.
If
you
recall,
we
had
a
a
resolution
on
the
council
agenda
a
couple
meetings
ago
that
I
pulled.
We
had
initially
selected
idg
off
of
the
dot's
pre-approved
bridge
inspection
list
infrastructure
design
group
no
longer
employs
their
structural
engineer,
she's
gone
on
to
work
with
another
civil
engineering
company
and
in
the
process
of
needing
to
get
this
inspection
backfilled
by
another
consultant
staff
has
recommended
going
with
banner
associates
for
this
year's
structure
inspections.
J
I
do
have
a
map
here
for
reference
to
show
you
those
10
structures
located
throughout
the
community.
The
five
circled
in
red
are
the
ones
that
would
be
have
an
inspection
performed
on
them
this
year
and
I'd
stand
by
for
any
questions.
I
would
note
that
our
consultant,
the
representative
from
banner,
is
online
with
us.
If
we
have
any
questions
here,
I
can
help
address
them.
I
A
A
Is
approval
of
resolution
number
21-19
relating
to
the
improvement
of
the
wastewater
collection
and
treatment
facilities
authorizing
and
directing
the
issuance
and
sale
of
a
revenue
bond
to
pay
the
cost
of
said
improvements
defining
the
terms
and
manner
of
payment
of
the
bond
and
security
there
of
and
approving
the
form
of
loan
agreement
authorizing
the
mayor
to
sign
all
applicable
documents,
promotion
by
holine
in
a
second
by
rademski,
and
I
will
ask
public,
works
director
city
engineer,
heath
von.
I
to
tell
us
about
this.
Please.
J
Yes,
thank
you
mayor
this.
This
particular
item
has
been
a
joint
effort
amongst
the
city,
finance
officer,
kristen,
bob
zeen
and
the
assistant
city,
engineer,
justin,
peterson
and,
of
course,
the
wastewater
superintendent
mike
berger
and
myself.
If
the
council
could
recall,
we've
gone
through
a
few
measures
related
to
the
primary
clarifier
number
two
replacement.
J
We
initially
noted
the
need
for
that
replacement,
based
on
an
analysis
that
hdr
engineering
performed
for
us.
We
subsequently
applied
to
have
that
that
facility
placed
on
the
state
water
plan,
which
was
approved,
and
subsequently
the
south
dakota
dnr,
approved
the
primary
clarify
number
two
project
to
receive
a
20-year
loan
for
two
and
a
half
million
at
an
interest
rate
of
two
percent.
J
J
So
councilman
rademski,
that's
a
good
question.
I
believe
the
current
structure
was
built
in
the
60s.
I
want
to
say,
but
that's
just
off
the
top
of
my
head
mayor.
I
don't
know
if
you
recall
any
more
detail
than
that,
but
I
believe
it's
in
the
60s.
You
know
so
you
figure
a
structure
like
this.
A
30
to
40
year
life
span
is,
is
not
uncommon
to
see.
J
There
are
certain
components
of
this
structure
that
are
reusable
like
the
roof
that
I
believe
we're
planning
to
utilize
on
the
new
structure.
But
the
concrete
has
degraded
to
a
point
where
it's
structurally
incapable
of
simply
repairing
it.
It
needs
to
be
replaced,
but
I'd
say
that
30
to
40-year
timeline.
J
Yes,
councilman
bill:
how
are
you
talking
under
the
financial
impact
section
of
the
right
of
the
council
summary?
Yes,
I
would.
I
would
agree
with
your
statement
there.
That
would
be
more
accurate
way
to
represent
that
four
quarterly
payments:
okay
at
37
992.,
that's
how
you
interpret
that
as
well.
Correct
kristin,.
B
C
I
A
J
In
a
nutshell,
that's
what
this
is
accomplishing.
What
this
means
is
that
there
will
be
a
dollar
30
surcharge
held
out
of
our
current
rate
that
we're
collecting
right
now.
We
are
not
adding
an
additional
dollar
30
to
the
current
rate,
but
holding
a
dollar
30
out
of
the
current
rate
and
specifically
earmarked
for
the
primary
clarifier
number
two
project
funding
obligations.
C
A
A
B
Thank
you
mayor.
It
is
the
time
of
year
where
I
ask
the
departments
to
basically
put
forth
any
funds
from
the
previous
year
that
were
not
spent
on
the
capital
project
side
and
those
can
funds
can
be
carried
over
to
the
following
year.
That's
actually
spelled
out
in
homeworld
charter
that
it's
allowed.
There
are
a
few
stipulations.
B
I'm
probably
not
going
to
go
through
every
one
of
these.
As
I
said,
these
were
requests
from
the
departments
that
knew
they
needed
it
to
be
carried
over
and
I
verified
the
amount
that
was
available
to
carry
over.
If
there's
specific
questions,
I
can
answer
them
otherwise,
yeah.
This
is
the
capital
carryover.
Thank.
A
I
You
mayor
early
in
february,
a
subcommittee
of
the
council
began
to
meet
and
I
believe
there
was
a
total
of
four
meetings
held,
just
kind
of
kicking
around
thoughts
and
ideas
regarding
the
upcoming
transition
to
the
council
manager,
form
of
government
and
kind
of
taking
a
look
at
the
home
rule
charter
and
what
it
spells
out
for
the
duties
of
the
city
manager,
as
well
as
the
mayor.
Taking
a
look
at
the
state
statute
and
what
statutes
provide
in
in
that.
In
that
regard.
I
Of
course,
and
taking
a
look
there
to
see
what
the
provisions
there
provide
and
so
just
taking
a
look
to
see,
if
there's
anything
that
needed
to
be
done,
any
any
holes
that
needed
to
be
filled,
any
tweaks
that
needed
to
be
made
perhaps
to
to
make
the
transition
smooth
and
to
maybe
just
make
some
matter
of
course,
amendments
to
to
our
ordinance.
So
what
you
have
in
front
of
you
here
is
a
resolution
that
it
was
kind
of
the
culmination
of
those
discussions.
D
We
we
took
a
little
bit
different
tact
on
this
and
and
fell.
Maybe
let's
just
look
at
some
areas
that
need
some
clarification
rather
than
trying
to
come
up
with
that
grocery
list
of
respective
duties
and
that's
where
we
ended
up
with
the
resolution
that
we
got
before
us.
So
with
that,
I
guess
I'll
turn
over
to
the
rest
of
the
committee
members
or
the
rest
of
the
council
in
general
for
specific
questions
or
comments.
They've
got.
L
Thank
you
mayor
I'd
like
to
point
out
the
work
done
by
the
committee,
which
was
councilman
bill
hour,
councilman
albertson,
councilman,
buehler,
councilwoman
manty
and
myself
with
matt
roby,
our
city
attorney
and
jalene
pifley,
our
hr
director
sitting
in
on
every
meeting.
I
think
we
met
four
times
and
we
had
a
lot
of
good
discussion
at
my
request.
L
Matt
has
included
the
minutes
and
the
the
background
information
of
all
of
those
meetings
minutes
were
taken.
Notes
were
taken
with
the
idea
that
this
would
provide
legislative
intent
for
councils
in
the
future.
So
in
the
future,
if
anyone
ever
had
a
question
regarding
what
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
might,
the
demarcation
of
duties
should
be,
they
can
look
back
upon
the
notes
that
are
now
included
in
the
official
minutes
of
the
council
for
tonight,
and
they
can
at
least
read
and
see
what
we
talked
about
at
that
time.
L
There
might
be
some
more
suggestions
forthcoming,
but
as
of
right
now,
this
is
the
I'd
say,
the
just
a
clear
separation,
the
idea
of
just
setting
forth
the
expectations
of
both
jobs,
the
limitations
of
both
jobs
as
to
what
we
thought,
the
home
rule
charter
meant
and
the
people
of
watertown
wanted
when
they
voted
upon
it.
So
we,
as
a
committee,
I
think
I
could
speak
for
all
of
us-
would
urge
the
council's
favorable
approval.
L
I
do
have
what
is
called
a
friendly
amendment,
which
is
meaning
that
the
committee
has
been
briefed
upon
this,
and
we
are
all
in
agreement
that
this
is
something
that
should
be
added
to
the
resolution
and
mayor.
I
can
make
that
at
a
time
that
you
would
like.
I
can
wait
after
further
council
discussion
or
make
it
now.
L
D
Just
a
comment
to
what
councilman
colleen
just
proposed
because
we're
using
some
terminologies
that
is
not
familiar
to,
maybe
even
us
as
a
council
or
the
public,
and
that's
the
deputy
mayor,
that
is
in
the
position
that's
coming
into
place
with
the
city
manager
and
the
deputy
mayor
is
elected
by
us
as
a
council,
so
we'll
be
doing
that
here
in
a
few
months.
Whoever
is
on
the
council.
So
that's
what
how
the
deputy
mayor's
position
is
is
selected.
F
D
A
A
D
One
final
comment:
from
my
perspective:
I
think
we
look
at
this.
Our
committee
looks
at
this
as
being
an
a
beginning,
ongoing
pro
process
and
not
something
that
we've
done
now
to
never
do
again,
because
we
got
to
kind
of
live
into
our
our
new
form
of
governance
here.
So
it's
gonna
be
something
that
we
will
like
it's
like
it
points
out
here
we
will,
we
will
be
reviewing
on
an
ongoing
basis,
so
it's
an
ongoing
situation,
not
an
end.
You
know
in
and
of
itself
right
now.
L
Come
here,
yes,
I
have
one
other
discussion
point
it's
relating
to
the
resolution,
but
it
is
a
possible
amendment,
so
I
don't
want
to
offer
it
before
every
council
member
has
the
option
of
speaking
upon
the
resolution
itself.
So
I
don't
want
to
interrupt
anyone,
but
neither
do
I
want
you
to
call
a
vote
before
it's
time.
So
if
I
see
anyone
with
their
hand
raised
or
michael,
I
think
might
have
his
hand
raised-
I
don't
want
to
speak
before
he
has
a
chance.
F
I
just
wanted
to
say
thanks
to
everyone,
of
course,
for
doing
the
work
you
did
on
it.
I
think
it
was
a
really
good
precedent,
maybe
to
set
with
the
amount
of
minute
taking.
I
know
that
take
creates
a
lot
of
work,
but
maybe
that
is
something
in
the
future
that
we
do
want
to
do
on
some
of
our
little
boards
just
for
increased
transparency
and
everything.
F
F
The
only
other
thing
I
kind
of
had
is
page.
I
think
it's
page
three
of
all
this
so
page,
two
really
of
the
resolution
here
where
we
say
on
one.
The
council
expects
the
mayor
and
city
manager
to
closely
adhere
to
the
demarked
responsibilities
under
charter
and
statute
and
specifically
expects
the
mayor
to
avoid
all
administrative
tasks.
I
guess
my
only
concern
with
that
is
that
it's
just
a
little
redundant
if
we've
already
listed
it
in
the
charter.
F
I
I
think
it
found
that
many
of
the
questions
were
already
answered,
and
so
I
think
that
that
statement
there
while
it
does
sound
redundant,
I
think
it
maybe
just
expresses
the
conclusion
of
the
group
that
you
know
it
is
it
is
there
we
expect
it
to
be
followed.
So
I
guess
yes
in
the
sense
it
is
redundant,
but
it
does
just
come
out
of
the
again
just
the
realization
of
the
group
that
that
maybe
what
we
were
looking
to
spell
out
is
already
spelled
out.
L
I
have
a
topic
of
discussion
for
the
entire
council
a
possible
amendment,
but
in
our
committee
discussions
we
could
not
come
up
with
a
clear
answer
on
several
issues
that
we
thought
were
important
enough.
That
would
nonetheless
require
full
council
conversation
to
see
if
the
full
council
had
better
ideas
than
just
the
committee
did
or
possibly.
If
there
was
further,
you
know
consensus
as
to
what
we
should
be
doing
going
forward.
L
L
I
would
really
like
to
see-
and
I
think
I
speak
for
everyone
in
this
room-
a
very
smooth
transition
to
the
city
manager
form
of
government.
We
only
have
one
chance
to
do
it
right.
The
first
time
we
have
to
start
off
on
the
on
the
right
step,
the
first
step.
So
in
this
resolution
you
will
see
that
the
mayoral
job
description
committee,
which
changes
its
name
to
the
mayoral
and
city
manager,
job
description.
I
think
it's.
L
What
it's
called
was
going
to
be
an
ongoing
committee
for
at
least
three
years
with
the
initial
meetings
starting
in
july
of
2022.
That
is
also
in
number
four
of
the
resolved
on
page
two,
there
was
some
question
as
to
the
question
as
to
when
this
would
start
and
the
timing
of
it.
I
will
refer
to
the
mayoral
job
description
committee,
notes,
part
two,
meaning
our
second
meeting
somewhere
in
there.
I
will.
I
highlighted
this.
L
No
consensus
on
the
timing
was
found
for
this
ongoing
committee,
but
the
idea
received
unanimous
consent,
so
the
entire
committee
was
unanimous
in
supporting
that
this
should
be
an
ongoing
committee
to
make
sure
that
there
is
a
smooth,
constant
transition
into
the
new
new
form
of
government,
but
we
did.
We
never
did
nail
down
completely
when
it
would
start
and
how
often
it
would
meet.
L
Regarding
the
roles
of
the
mayor
and
city
manager,
this
committee
will
meet
again
in
july
of
2022
and
then
annually
thereafter
for
three
years,
so
it
basically
just
adds
one
meeting
to
january
of
2022
at
the
six
month
mark
after
the
transition
to
the
form
of
new
government
for
an
early
review,
and
then
we'll
have
another
one.
So
it
basically
just
adds
one
meeting
now.
Hopefully,
this
results
in
nothing.
Hopefully
we
have
an
incredibly
smooth
transition
of
government
and
the
me
and
the
committee
meets
and
says:
hey
everything's
going
great.
L
L
N
Just
two
things:
one
was
more
of
just
a
bookkeeping
or
semantics
issue
or
whatever.
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
this
isn't
a
job
description
committee,
job
descriptions,
connote
that
it's
a
position
that
can
be
hired
or
fired.
The
mayor
is
an
elected
official
so
and
that's
what
we
call
it
all
long
reads
on
that,
but
what
we
changed
it
to
was.
N
I
had
always
thought
that
this
could
be
a
committee
that
could
be
convened
at
any
time
if
there
was
a
surgeonly,
urgent
or
emergency
situation,
but
but
if
we
want
to
put
it
in
there
as
six
months
and
then
every
year
thereafter,
I
don't
think
that
puts
an
undue
burden
on
people.
I
think
that
that's
probably
a
pretty
reasonable
thing
to
do,
given
that
this
is
a
major
change,
so
I
would
support
that
edition.
F
I
guess
my
only
concern
with
it
is
that
to
me,
coming
from
a
fast-moving
organization
previously,
is
that
it
takes
about
six
months
to
just
kind
of
get
in
the
pocket
in
your
job,
because
there's
gonna
be
some
learning
going
on
potentially
with
whoever
gets
hired
in
this,
and
then
also
you
know,
we
don't
know
who
all
the
players
are
going
to
be
in
those
two
positions
yet
so
I
fear
that
six
months
might
be
a
little
too
premature
and
some
of
these
issues
can
kind
of
resolve.
Just
by
watching.
F
If
we
saw
red
flag,
I
think
we
could
just
as
easily
convene
this
off
a
choice.
The
annual
thing,
of
course,
is
written
in,
but
realistically
I
bet
kind
of
mentioned
it,
even
though
she
supported
it.
The
other
way
that
you
know
we
can
just
call
it
if
we
need
to
if
we
feel
like
something's
really
concerning
the
other
part,
is
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I'm
reading
it
right.
I
think
in
the
original
way
it's
written
it
doesn't
have
that
the
deputy
mayor
appoints
the
members.
F
I'd
think
I'd
be
more
comfortable.
If
we
did
that
as
a
group,
just
because
does
and
somebody
councilman
vilhauer,
I
think
you
really
looked
into
this
well
with
the
deputy
mayor
position.
Does
that
have
the
power
already
within
it
to
a
point
and
then
yeah,
if
it's
there
due
to
that
then
great,
but
otherwise
I
kind
of
feel
like.
Maybe
we
should
be
appointing
as
a
council
in
that
scenario,.
F
Sure
I
mean
it's
just
really
that
the
deputy
mayor
position
is
it
when
councilman
hollen
read
his
verbage
on
that
it
just
had
the
appointing
on
it.
So
that's
and
it
previously
didn't.
I
guess
so.
That's
my
kind
of
confusion
with
it.
I
know
we
kind
of
talked
about
it.
Maybe
I
just
missed
that
little
detail.
I
I
guess
you
know
the
language
I
have
written
down
from
the
first
amendment
was
appointed
and
as
far
as
any
formal
authority
that
the
deputy
mayor
may
have,
I
mean
we're
we're
kind
of
creating
this
out
of
thin
air
here.
So
it's
not
there's
nothing
to
turn
to
to
ask
what
authority
they
might
have
or
not
have
as
it
relates
to
this
committee
that
is
being
created
kind
of,
as
we
speak
so
again
to
what
the
mayor
just
said
that
that
language
was
just
added
in.
A
I
Yeah
correct
it
would
it
would
be
really
no
different
than
the
committee
that
maybe
has
been
meeting
here.
Of
course,
it'll
be
less
people,
because
the
council
will
have
less
members
and
so
it'll
be
a
group
of
three
people
instead
of
five,
and
if
they
identify
an
issue,
that's
cropped
up,
then
they
could
bring
forward
a
proposal
to
the
council
for
full
council
consideration,
whether
that
be
an
ordinance
amendment,
or
you
know,
of
course,
a
home
rule.
Charter
commitment
amendment
creates
a
whole
new
set
of
set
of
requirements,
but
yeah
it
would.
F
Sure
that
makes
sense
talking
about
it.
I
guess
I
would
just
refer
back
to
then
that
I
don't
think
the
six
months
is
necessary.
I
think
annual
is
plenty
and
it
gives
everyone
a
fair
shot
to
kind
of
get
used
to
their
position,
and
you
know
we're
monitoring
the
whole
time.
So,
if
anything's
glaring,
I'm
sure
that
we
could
just
do
that
on
our
own.
N
Yeah,
no,
it
is
it
is.
I
was
just
going
to
hopefully
help
michael
understand,
I
mean
or
get
a
comfort
level
with
that.
You
know
the
deputy
mayor
is
elected
by
the
entire
council,
so
the
thought
process
was
that
he
had
the
trust
of
the
council
he
or
she,
and
that
that
that
person
was
going
to
do
what's
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city
and
of
the
you
know,
council.
N
F
C
Thank
you.
I
would
agree
with
the
six
month.
First
swing
at
that.
In
the
best
case
scenario,
it's
a
five
minute
meeting.
Things
are
going
well
and
it's
over
in
five
minutes,
but
that's
one.
The
second
point
is
our
city
manager
is
going
to
have
a
review
at
six
months
and
I
think
it
makes
sense
to
line
up
with
that.
So
I
think
that's
an
easy
one.
D
I
don't
think
we
as
a
commit.
We,
as
a
committee,
have
these
very
same
discussions
and
you're
seeing
you're
seeing
a
an
annual
mention
here,
but
I
don't
think
any
of
us
necessarily
witness
that
I
guess
we
wanted
to
get
more
feedback
from
the
rest
of
council
and
I
think,
we're
hearing
that
there
probably
is
a
desire
to
have
a
review
sooner
rather
than
the
then
later.
So
I
guess
I
would
support
it
as
well
as
a
committee
member.
A
A
A
Them
thank
you
here.
Yep
all
right,
we've
had
quite
a
bit
of
discussion.
Any
last-minute
comments
on
the
amendment,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
aye,
anyone
to
post
signify
or
say,
nay,
motion
carries
and
we
still
have
the
resolution.
Does
anybody
want
to
bring
anything
else
up
about
the
resolution
in
general?
I
Well,
I
would,
I
would
just
note,
then,
that
you
know
the
last.
Those
last
three
pieces
of
the
of
the
resolution
mentioned
that
ordinance
changes,
and
so
those
will
be
forthcoming
at
the
the
plan.
Right
now
is
to
have
that
the
first
reading
and
then
the
first
meeting
of
may
to
come
forward
with
those
those
ordinance
changes
for
for
council
consideration.
D
This
is
a
follow-up
to
what
matt
just
said.
Just
so,
people
aren't
thinking
that
there's
gonna
be
some
some
significant
or
massive
ordinance
changes.
This
is
just
gonna
be
clean
up
throughout
our
our
ordinances
to
to
properly
utilize
the
term
mayor
and
city
manager.
It's
nothing
that's
going
to
significantly
change,
but
it's
something
that
does
need
to
be
done,
though.
C
A
A
I
Thanks
mary,
I
can
tee
it
up
and
then
bruce
or
anybody
else
can
chime
in
on
kind
of
what
the
thinking
is
here.
But
as
everybody
knows,
the
council
has
approved
a
memorandum
of
understanding
relating
to
the
multi-purpose
ice
facility,
and
recently
we,
the
the
city,
contacted
tiger
group.
Dick
strasberg,
a
principal
with
tegra
group,
had
a
discussion
with
him
he's
an
individual
who
we've
contracted
with
in
the
past
on
the
prairie
lakes
wellness
center
to
basically
act,
as
a
representative
of
you
know,
in
the
case
the
wellness
center.
I
I
M
You
know,
as
matt
had
mentioned,
we'd
used
tegra
the
tiger
group
out
of
minneapolis
on
that
project.
The
wellness
center
we
felt
like
they
did
a
really
good
job
for
us.
We
did
have
an
opportunity
to
bring
dick
strasberg
the
representative,
one
of
the
principals
from
that
group
into
watertown
for
discussion
and
questions,
and
you
know
so.
Everybody
had
an
opportunity
to
to
sort
of
see
what
they
had
to
offer.
M
I
think,
in
the
long
run
this
the
whole
idea
behind
this
is
to
protect
the
city
as
an
owner,
and
you
know,
we've
got.
We've
got
different
facets
of
ownership
here
with
the
wdc
with
the
city
down
the
road
owning
this,
but
we
we
also
want
to
protect
everyone
that
could
be
involved
in
the
owners
from
any
negative
issues.
M
I
I
just
think
they'll
do
a
great
job
and-
and
we
did
set
a
cap
for
them
to
to
start
as
matt
mentioned
and
at
some
point,
if
we
decide
to
enlist
more
of
their
services
down
the
road
we'd,
have
that
opportunity
to
bring
them
forward
to
see
where
what
other
areas
they
might
be
able
to
help
us
with,
but
it
I
think
I
personally
think
it's.
It's
really
good
to
have
somebody
on
board
like
that.
A
Thank
you,
and
I
I
agree
with
you
completely
councilman
buehler,
and
I
it
really
did
give
me
a
an
extra
level
of
confidence
moving
forward
that
you
know
we're
not
experts
on
this
sort
of
thing,
but
we're
hiring
somebody
who
will
be
looking
out
for
our
interests
as
a
community.
So
I
think
that's
really
good
anyone
else.
L
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
wanted
to
for
people
watching
this.
Listening
to
this,
I
wanted
to
explain
a
little
bit.
What
teger
group
did
they
consist
of
lawyers,
architects
developers,
all
sorts
of
people
across
the
spectrum,
so
they
can
bring
all
sorts
of
expertise.
So
in
the
beginning
they
will
be
offering
legal
expertise
just
to
look
over
the
contract,
because
it
is
a
four-way
contract
and
then
they
will
also
be
watching
out
for
the
taxpayers
to
make
sure
that
the
you
know
equip
or
the
steel
ordered
is
coming
in
at
a
reasonable
cost.
L
According
to
the
market,
there's
no
overcharges
things
like
that,
so
it
protects
the
taxpayers
and
it
also
protects
the
people
of
watertown
when
they
say,
if
you're
going
to
do
it,
do
it
right
and
that's
the
other
thing
that
an
owner's
rep
does
for
us
make
sure
that
we're
doing
it
right
because
he
can
have
input
over
the
entire
architecture
and
make
sure
that
the
facility
is
the
one
that
we
want.
I
also
just
wanted
to
point
out
one
more
thing
which
is:
I
have
talked
to
all
four
parties
involved
now
granted.
L
This
was
before
the
new
watertown
development
company
gentleman
is
going
to
come
tonight,
but
I
talked
with
michelle
kokach
and
she
and
I
discussed
that
wdc
agrees
with
the
idea
of
an
owner's
rep
jesse,
craig
of
the
craig
llc
and
j
j
earthworks,
we're
all
in
agreement
that
this
is
a
good
idea.
So
just
wanted
to
make
that
clear.
A
O
P
E
C
C
C
C
P
P
P
Is
our
ambulance
service
a
little
bit
our
fire
service
in
general
aircraft,
rescue
services,
fire
prevention,
a
little
bit
the
south
dakota
all
hazards
team,
as
well
as
some
of
our
wfr
2020,
highlights
now
just
a
little
bit
of
what
we
do
and
where
we
cover.
I
think
most
of
you
that
have
been
upon
the
council
for
a
long
time.
You
pretty
much
know
that
we
serve
nine
townships,
which
represents
about
327
miles
of
the
continental
county.
We
also
took
on
an
ems
mou
this
year.
P
I
think
most
you
guys
were
in
2020
that
took
a
little
time
to
get
done,
but
we
finally
were
able
to
procure
that
those
agreements
with
those
townships
we
serve
14,
townships
and
four
villages.
So
that's
pretty
much
the
greater
part
of
of
counting
to
county
in
general,
a
little
bit
about
our
ambulance
service
stats
last
year
was
obviously
a
record
year
for
us
again.
P
As
far
as
numbers
go,
we
have
five
advanced
life
support
ambulances
that
we
we
maintain
each
day
in
general,
our
our
staff
trains
about
a
thousand
to
fifteen
hundred
annual
hours
a
year
for
just
to
be
paramedics,
they're
very
professional,
in
what
they
do
and
they
and
they
do
a
really
nice
job
of
keeping
up
their
certifications
in
2020.
We
responded
to
2873
calls
up
4.2
percent
from
the
calendar
year.
P
P
P
Chart
as
well
as
cardiac
and
trauma
trauma
can
be
just
a
fall
from
a
senior
that
fell
down
in
his
home
and
we
have
to
go
help
do
a
lift,
assist
or
maybe
even
do
a
patient
exam
where
we
actually
take
those
folks
to
the
hospital,
but,
as
you
can
see
in
general,
quite
a
few
other
types
of
calls.
Our
behavioral
health
calls
are
continuing
to
rise
on
an
everyday
basis
when
it
comes
to
these
types
of
calls.
Mental
health
is
something.
That's
is
a
big
thing
in
our
community.
P
P
P
We
take
life
safety
incident.
Stabilization
property
preservation
is
a
huge
focal
point
when
we
go
on
scene
and
we
do
everything
we
possibly
can
to
save
whatever
we
can
for
those
victims,
because
they
are
very
traumatic
of
what
they've
just
to
have.
You
know
this
recently
had
two
major
fires
in
our
community
that
were
horrible
for
those
families.
So
we
do
everything
we
can
to
preserve
those
items
for
them.
P
P
We
send
a
truck
to
higher
level
of
care
of
medical
emergencies
such
as
respiratory
distress,
cardiac
arrest,
cardiac
calls
trauma,
so
when
an
ambulance
goes
by
and
sometimes
you
see,
an
engine,
company
fall
behind
with
them,
they're
actually
going
on
scene
and
we're
finding
that
we
have
better
outcomes
if
we
get
four
advanced
life
support,
paramedic
firefighters,
on
the
ground
to
help
with
those
patients,
their
outcomes
at
the
hospital
improve
drastically.
If
we
get
more
boots
on
the
ground
at
those
scenes.
O
Just
one
comment
about
that:
it's
important
to
realize
that
when
that
big
fire
truck
goes
down
the
road
it's
it
can
be
still
available
for
another
call
and
we'll
sometimes
dispatch
that
right
from
that
emergency
medical
scene
to
a
fire
scene
and
they
have
all
their
equipment
and
staffing
with
them.
So
that's
why
they're
they're
mobile
and
able
to
assist
with
ems
so.
P
And
here's
just
kind
of
a
breakdown
of
2016
through
2020,
as
you
guys
can
see,
we've
had
an
increase.
Almost
500
calls
in
the
last
five
years
from
16
to
20
represents
about
19
percent
and
our
fire
calls
have
jumped
up.
You
know
in
that
40
plus
percent
range
as
well,
so
in
general,
each
year
we
continue
to
answer
more
and
more
calls.
People
ask
me:
why
do
we
answer
more
ems
calls
or
any
or
fire
calls?
P
I
think
people
are.
Obviously
our
communities
get
a
little
bit
older,
so
we
have
more
senior
calls
but
education
wise.
I
think
people
know
that
we
are
bringing
an
emergency
room
on
wheels
to
the
scene
when
you
call
an
ambulance
and
we
get
on
scene.
We
treat
you
and
we
make
you
better
a
lot
of
times
before
we
get
to
the
hospital.
So
I
think
from
a
standpoint
of
education.
I
think
our
community
understands
the
importance
of
our
ems
service
that
we
have
in
our
city.
P
Fire
prevention
stats
and
highlights
a
little
bit.
Obviously,
the
pandemic
put
a
lot
of
implications
on
what
we
could
do
from
a
cdc
standpoint,
but
in
general
we
still
were
able
to
get
out
and
get
out.
250
smoke
detectors.
Chip
primus
leads
that
fire
prevention
division
for
us
and
does
a
fantastic
job
for
us.
Generally.
P
P
P
P
We
have
a
staff
member
out
there
for
all
commercial
airlines,
obviously
when
they
come
in
for
our
flights
each
day,
but
that
stated
they
have
to
all
have
a
live
fire
burn
every
year
with
a
federal
aviation
certification
and
they
train
anywhere
from,
like
I
said,
900
plus
hours
a
year,
each
staff
member
has
x
amount
of
hours
that
the
faa
requires
us
to
do
matter.
Of
fact,
our
department
is
modeled
by
other
departments
across
the
the
midwest
when
the
faa
auditor
comes
in
actually
does
inspections.
P
Our
south
dakota
task
force
one.
We
are
part
of
four
teams
in
the
state:
aberdeen
watertown,
rapid
city
and
sioux
falls
respectively
on
an
annual
we
probably
have
50,
plus
team
members
trained
annually.
In
all
four
cities
we
have
hazmat.
We
have
high
angle
rescue,
we
have
confined
space,
we
have
structural
collapse,
we
also
trench
rescue.
P
P
P
We
also
received
some
grants
more
than
120
000
dollars
worth,
and
some
of
those
grants
were
for
our
portable
medical
grade
oxygen
cylinder.
That's
this
right
here!
This
basically
allows
us
to
fill
all
our
ambulances
up
with
medical
grade
oxygen
without
having
to
go
through
companies
in
town
to
actually
have
an
invoice
of
a
couple
thousand
dollars
a
year.
So
this
saves
us
quite
a
bit
of
money,
the
mobile
radios.
That
was
a
really
good
thing.
P
Last
year
we
came
before
you
myself,
and
I
think
even
chief
toomey
came
before
you
and
asked
to
apply
for
the
cares
act.
Funds
to
allow
us
to
be
able
to
get
more
portable
radios,
we're
up
against
kind
of
a
time
constraint
here
coming
up
in
2023,
the
p25
compliancy
is
really
important
and
not
only
does
watertown
fire
rescue
getting
more
compliant
waterhouse
police
department
is
as
well
we've
been
able
to
get
on
board
a
little
bit
quicker,
and
I
know
that
we're
doing
much
better.
O
P
We
partnered
with
watertown
park
and
rec
last
year
and
created
these
fire
hydrant
parties,
and
they
were
an
overwhelming
success
to
the
point
where
I
believe
we're
going
to
be
doing
more
of
those
mayor.
I
think
this
year
we
talked
about
that
in
the
last
department
of
meetings,
so
I
know
that
the
pool
is
going
to
be
opening,
but
we're
still
going
to
do
a
couple
of
these
as
well,
because
I
think
they
were
just
a
fun
thing
for
everybody.
P
O
Okay,
the
first
one
nfpa
1710,
strive
to
meet
that
that's
where
we
we
want
a
certain
number
of
staff
and
and
on
on
scene
of
every
fire,
and
our
goal
is
to
to
get
to
that
point.
Each
each
firefighter
has
a
job
and
we
want
14
staff
on
that
scene,
scene
on
most
fires,
sometimes
15,
and
that
that
includes
when
we
get
a
fire
call.
O
That's
that's
all
of
our
staff
and
we
still
don't
meet
that
so
we're
we're
able
to
to
put
out
more
fire
at
a
safer,
safer
to
our
firefighters,
and
it's
it's
very
important
for
us
to
to
continue
to
work
towards
that
goal.
Number
two
is
improve.
The
ability
of
providing
services
the
east
fire
station
will
will
make
us
more
uniform
across
our
whole
service
area
by
providing
a
quicker
response
times.
O
O
O
We
store
them
in
in
the
storage
area
when
we're
off-duty
they're
not
allowed
to
come
into
the
living
quarters
with
with
gear
on.
So
we
don't
also
like
to
carry
them
in
our
vehicles,
our
cabs
and
things
like
that
when,
when
we're
going
to
and
from
fire
scenes,
so
you
know,
we've
made
vast
improvements
on
that
and
physical
fitness
and
mental
health
also
very
mental
health,
along
with
the
the
police
and
fire
all
public
safety.
O
O
D
O
That
is
correct.
Probably
we
are
not
going
to
get
to
one
and
our
goal
is
not
to
get
to
one,
but
we
want.
We
barely
made
a
two,
and
so
we
want
to.
I
mean
we
made
a
tube
by
by
less
than
one
percent,
so
we
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
fall
backwards
on
on
that.
So
we
look
at
all
areas
where
we
can
gain
those
those
points
and
keep
our
points
current.
We
don't
lose
any
of
that.
We
do
have
a
good
question.
P
P
P
Okay,
this
is
kind
of
something
doug
talked
about
earlier.
This
is
nfpa
1710.
We've
shared
this
presentation
slide
before
to
you.
What
this
basically
means
in
a
nutshell,
everybody
is.
We
need
a
fire
truck
on
the
scene
in
four
minutes.
This
is
a
national
standard,
everybody
within
four
minutes.
Ninety
percent
of
all
the
incidents
we
go
to
in
watertown.
P
P
We
cannot
make
rescue
with
four
people
in
a
building,
but
I'm
here
to
tell
you
our
firefighters
will
they
will
do
whatever
they
can
to
do
what
they
have
to
do
to
save
that
person
or
that
family
member's
pet
or
whatever
it
may
be
a
possession?
They
will
make
entry
even
with
the
lightest
amount
of
people
that
we
have
on
scene.
So
this
is
still
a
big
component
that
we'll
continue
to
try
to
strive
for
as
we
move
forward
in
in
the
coming
days,
months
and
years.
P
O
P
And
just
briefly
on
a
business
plan
objectively
when
it
comes
to
station
three,
it
is
2023
is
when
we
still
have
it
in
our
a
long-term
capital
outlay
site
plan.
Obviously
we're
working
with
engineering
and
they're
doing
a
fantastic
job
working
with
us
to
help
find
a
site
for
us
capabilities
of
it
are
mostly
about
what
kind
of
fire
station
is
it
going
to
be?
Is
it
a
fire
ems
station
or
is
it
an
ems
station
only
so
those
are
the
kind
of
things
we're
still
researching
design
and
flow.
P
Is
it
a
eight
to
ten
thousand
square
foot
building
three
apparatus
bays,
you
know,
speaking
from
the
the
design,
the
construction
is
it
about
three
million
dollars
or
less
is
kind
of
where
we're
at
right.
Now
the
operating
maintenance
costs
are
around
fifty
thousand
dollars.
Staffing
plan
is
still
in
that
six
to
nine
number
that
we'll
be
talking
about
as
we
get
into
a
business
plan.
With
that
staffing
plan
funding
when
it
comes
to
staffing,
we're
talking
about
the
safer
grant,
the
staffing
for
adequate
fire
emergency
response
same
thing
goes
with
the
fire.
P
Cops
cops
grant.
That's
where
you
get
the
funding
for
the
staffing
for
for
those
folks.
If
we
ask
for
six
to
nine
people,
if
we
meet
nfpa
1720,
there's
a
high
likelihood
that
we'd
receive
that
grant.
So
that's
something
we'll
talk
about
at
a
later
date.
Community
benefits,
obviously
response
times
and
just
getting
the
same.
P
The
people
that
will
live
downtown
in
this
area
within
four
to
six
minutes
of
their
fire
station.
They
get
a
great
fire
response,
but
also
when
it
comes
to
the
fact
that
if
you
don't
get
somebody
there
within
five
minutes
or
less,
if
somebody's
in
cardiac
arrest,
you
have
a
50
chance
of
survivability.
P
P
P
Obviously,
we
talked
about
those
and
the
call
volume
estimates
coverage
areas
are
the
next
slide
here,
and
this
is
kind
of
what
we
do.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we
understand
when
we
do
a
station
three,
where
we,
where
are
these
calls
coming
from
remember
this,
is
our
2873
ambulance
calls
from
2020
of
those
1542
would
have
been
at
station,
one
53
percent
of
our
calls
of
those
at
station
two.
This
is
a
factual
number.
There
was
506.
P
and
station
three
if
we
would
use
the
geographical
location
that
we've
identified
with
11th
street.
All
the
way
up
to
14th
avenue,
cutting
across
up
to
81.
That
would
be
our
primary
station
3
area
in
the
southeast
and
northeast
part
of
the
city,
and
that
would
cover
about
825
ambulance
calls
or
28
of
all.
Our
ambulance
calls.
So
that
kind
of
gives
you
a
breakdown,
and
we
try
to
do
this
each
year.
So
we
can
continue
to
forecast,
as
we
continue
to
move
on
with
our
projections.
P
A
L
A
A
A
Okay,
coming
back
from
our
break,
we're
on
item
k,
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-11
establishing
the
zoning
designations
of
our
one
single-family
residential
district
r2
single-family
attached
residential
district
and
r-3
multi-family
residential
district
for
the
area
of
land
to
be
known
upon
annexation
as
the
valley
view
3rd
edition
and
there's
no
action
on
this.
Just
a
first
reading
but
I'll
ask
the
public
works
director
city,
engineer,
heath
von.
I
to
tell
us
about
it.
J
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
mayor.
As
you
indicate,
this
is
first
reading,
so
no
action
tonight,
but
the
subsequent
second
reading
and
the
annexation
action
will
be
at
the
next
council
meeting
but
for
informational
purposes.
Here
on
the
first
meeting,
this
is
a
map
of
the
general
vicinity,
the
area
that
we're
talking
about
it's
related
to
valley
view
third
edition.
As
highlighted
in
this
black
border
for
context,
14th
avenue
is
right
off
the
page
down
here
and
2nd
street
northwest
running
north
south.
J
J
In
order
to
do
so,
they
need
to
commence
with
the
appropriate
annexation
and
zoning,
and
then
the
subsequent
construction
plan
reviewing
approval
and
planning
of
these
lots
so
we're
in
the
annexation
zoning
phase
for
for
phase
three
one
thing
I'll
note
on
here
that
randy
has
helped
point
out
on
this
map.
These
two
hatched
areas
are
proposed
to
be
zoned
differently
than
what
the
approved
preliminary
plan
shows.
The
approved
plan
showed
these
as
r1
zoning
and
the
zoning
being
presented.
J
That's
been
passed
by
the
planning
commission
is
having
these
two
areas
as
r2
zoning,
so
that
was
worth
pointing
out.
That
is
an
anomaly
from
the
approved
preliminary
plan,
I
would
say
from
a
staff
standpoint.
It
wasn't
significant
enough
to
have
concern,
and
the
planning
commission
also
agreed
with
that
as
well.
J
Any
time
there's
a
change
like
that
from
the
prelim
plan.
There
are
some
sensitivities
that
we
as
staff
look
at,
which
brandy's
done
some
research
on.
There
is
one
existing
residence
in
this
location
that
brandy
did
reach
out
to
to.
Let
them
know
that
this
area
next
to
them
is
proposed
to
be
zoned,
r2
and
not
r1,
and
they
didn't
have
any
concerns
with
the
zoning,
but
did
express
some
some
drainage
issue
and
concerns
that
they
that
they
posed
that
we
made
note
of
so
aside
from
that.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
I
have
a
question
about
this.
It
came
up
in
a
group.
Discussion
had
coffee
with
the
mayor
recently,
some
folks
were
asking
about
the
park
dedication
and
I
know
that
this
subdivision
did
have
a
park.
Dedication
component,
the
trail
which
has
been
there
for
years
and
years
kind
of
on
the
slope
and
got
a
little
pond
in
there.
A
That
was
part
of
the
park
dedication,
but
there
was
also
a
bike
path
component
to
it,
which
runs
due
north
and
south
along
the
western
boundary.
I
think,
can
you
verify
that
is
that
part
of
this,
and
if
it
is,
when
does
that
dedication
occur,
or
maybe
it
already
has?
I
don't
know,
but
I
think
that
the
development
agreement,
maybe
on
the
first
phase,
included
bringing
up
to
within
a
few
inches
of
the
final
grade
or
something
remember
that
heath.
J
Not
the
specifics,
I
don't,
of
course
pulling
up
the
prelim
plan
here.
It
is
noted,
as
you're
describing
mayor
a
proposed
pedestrian
trail
outlet,
a
running
along
the
westerly
side
of
the
subdivision.
I
would
refer
to
brandy
if
she
knows
any
further
details
about
the
development
agreement
terms
for
that
pedestrian
trail.
A
J
Q
A
Okay,
that's
good
enough.
I
know
there
was
intended
to
be
a
trail
that
connects
all
the
way
through
from
14th
avenue
north
into
river
ridge.
I
remember
how
it
ended
up
in
river
ridge,
probably
through
that
road
and
just
wondering
what
the
much
of
it
do
we
have
already,
and
when
will
we
get
the
rest.
J
C
A
A
C
C
Q
J
Q
J
Q
A
I'm
not
seeing
any
so
we'll
move
on.
Thank
you
to
item
l,
which
is
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-12,
a
zoning
text,
amendment
to
chapter
21.80,
addressing
city
identification,
slash,
welcome
signs,
number
dimensions
and
locations
of
individual
signs
and
maximum
total
sign
area
by
zoning
district,
and
this
is
another
first
reading,
no
action
but
I'll
ask
the
public
works
director
city,
engineer,
heath
von.
I
to
explain
it
please.
J
Q
Yeah-
and
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with-
I
mean
the
setback
of
it
and
then
obviously
wanting
it
to
be
a
statement
piece
that
is
cohesive
throughout
the
gateways
to
the
community
right,
and
it
would
be
something
that
would
have
to
be
approved
by
city
council
beings
that
it
would
be
going
on
municipally
owned
property.
So
it
would
be
something
that
we
that
would
not
be
egregious,
and
that
would
look
nice.
A
Q
A
Thank
you
item
m
is
introduction
of
watertown
development
company
wdc
executive
director
mark
vox
and
authorization
for
watertown
development
company
to
sign
an
application
for
a
local
infrastructure
improvement
project
grant
for
a
housing
project,
and
I
will
invite
michelle
kokachek
and
mark
vox
up
to
the
podium
and
mark
hasn't
really
started
yet
but
I'll.
Let
michelle
introduce
him
and
explain.
What's
going
on.
E
Great
mark
fox
honorable
mayor
members
of
the
council
pleasure
to
be
here
and
get
reacquainted
with
some
of
you
and
and
meet
others,
and
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
You've
done
a
fabulous
job
of
building
momentum
and
and
having
watertown,
be
the
place
to
be
in
south
dakota
and
I'm
really
excited
to
join
the
community.
My
wife
and
I
will
be
relocating.
So,
if
you
know
of
a
house
for
sale,
please
reach
out
we're
looking
for
one.
E
I've
been
in
economic
development
for
17
years
way
back
when
I
was
in
law
enforcement
for
seven
years
in
aberdeen,
then
did
some
fundraising
for
the
catholic
school
system.
It
was
congressman
thunes,
then
congressman
thune's
area,
director
northeast
area
director
when
he
was
in
the
house
representative.
So
I
spent
a
lot
of
time
since
1996
in
watertown
did
a
long
stint
with
goed
again
representing
northeast
south
dakota
went
to
fargo
for
a
period
of
time
most
recently
in
mitchell.
A
A
R
What
we
are
just
kind
of
looking
at
today-
and
I
don't
know
on
on
that
motion-
it
has
that
for
the
wdc
to
sign
it.
We
wouldn't
actually
need
council
approval
if
we
were
to
sign
it
if
the
application
that
we're
thinking
of
doing
for
a
local
infrastructure
improvement
grant,
if
we
did
it
in
the
name
of
the
city,
then
that
would
need
the
mayor's
approval
to
sign
it.
R
However,
we
feel
that,
with
this
housing
development
that
we're
kind
of
looking
at
we
had
a
developer,
bring
it
to
us
is
more
of
a
starter
home
type
development,
there's
generally,
not
as
much
appetite
for
that.
So
we
thought
well.
Why
not
try
to
pursue
this
grant
so
that
we
can
take
down
the
burden
of
some
of
those
costs
and
keep
those
keep
those
homes
affordable?
R
We
would
approach
it
from
more
of
a
job
retention
standpoint
by
taking
a
look
at
what
we
have
as
far
as
our
labor
force,
as
opposed
to
what
our
openings
are,
because
having
housing
at
that
level
is
something
that
that
is
important.
To
do
that,
I
know
we'll
be
hearing
more.
The
council
will
be
hearing
more
about
this
particular
project
in
the
coming
weeks.
R
R
You
know
it's
it's
something
where
we
kind
of
we've
we've
put
out
the
feelers,
and
you
know
the
state
has
said
generally
not,
but
we
can
maybe
take
take
a
look
at
it,
but
we're
still
gonna
we're
still
waiting
to
see
if
we
could
actually,
if
they'll,
allow
us
to
apply
or
not
and
if
they
would
we're
on
a
time
crunch,
because
the
next
round
is
due
april.
30Th,
oh
yeah,
but
I've
done
applications
in
shorter
time
frames.
But
and
we
would
be
working
with
first
district
on
that
to
submit
that.
Okay.
A
R
R
The
wdc
did
get
approved
for
one
for
the
municipal
utilities,
gas
tap
project
and
then
that
went
through
to
them
to
defray
the
cost.
That
was
the
municipal
utilities
responsibility
of
that
project.
So
then
it
covered
half
of
that.
So
that's
that's
what
we're
hoping
to
do,
but,
but
again
it's
it's
just
on.
R
You
know
when
they're
looking
at
at
the
returns
and
how
they,
how
they
measure
the
the
worthiness
of
the
application,
we're
just
we're
trying
to
go
for
that
job
retention
rather
than
creation,
because
it's
not
actually
going
to
create
new
jobs,
but
it
will
help
us
fill
the
ones.
We
have
right
and
recruit
more
workforce
attention.
C
C
A
I
I
I
needed
to
go
back
to
the
process
because
it
identified
it
identified
a
different
section
of
land,
so
we
went
back
through
the
process
through
the
plan.
Commission,
incidentally,
though,
it
may
have
been
a
bit
fortuitous
because,
as
most
folks
know,
the
stony
point
project
has
had
suffered
some
increased
costs
because
of
just
a
general
cost
of
materials
right
now,
and
so
because
we
were
going
back
through
the
process.
D
Two
questions
on
the
the
project
cost
one
is:
it
is
a
contingency,
normally
a
pride,
an
eligible
project
cost
I'm
just
asking
totally
out
of
ignorance,
because
I
went
back
and
I
looked
at
the
the
runes
tip.
There
was
nothing
for
a
contingency
in
there,
so
is
that
something
that
is
allowable
or
is
is
normally
done.
I
D
Okay,
the
agenda
pack
had
a
figure
significantly
less
than
it
was
three
million
six.
Seventy
nine,
eight
thirty
seven
so
did
that?
Did
those
numbers
change
or
was?
I
guess,
I'm
trying
to
reconcile
where
the
number
from
the
previous
agenda
packet?
How
that
rolls
forward
into
this?
If
someone
could
explain
that.
I
Yeah,
I
can
certainly
so
I
didn't
want
to.
I
didn't
bring
that
up
so
as
not
to
confuse
the
issue,
but
that
was
an
additional
tweak
that
was
that
was
made
so
a
long
story
here,
short
of
the
number
that
was
in
the
previous
tip
plan.
All
the
numbers
were
correct,
but
the
bottom
line
number
somehow
didn't
add
up
to
all
the
correct
numbers.
C
I
A
I
do
have
a
a
just,
a
statement
or
whatever
I.
I
don't
think
that
we
pick
these
estimated
costs
apart,
like
we
don't
take
it
line
by
line
and
they've
got
concrete,
reinforcing,
65
000
and
if
it
came
out
as
eighty
two
thousand
dollars
instead
of
sixty
five
thousand
we're
not
capped
at
sixty
five
thousand.
A
I
That's
correct,
you
know
communities.
Could
you
know
if
we
were
if
the
city
was
funding
this
out
of
our
out
of
our
tax
dollars?
For
example,
you
know
we
could
dig
into
the
weeds
and
ask
for
invoices
on
every
line
item
comparing
line
items
of
project
cost.
But
you
know
in
this
case,
particularly
it's
it's
what
we
call
as
a
pay-as-you-go
or
self-financed
tif.
So
and
historically,
you
know
all
three
years
I've
been
here,
we
have
not
not
dug
into
the
project
cost.
P
A
C
A
I
A
I
Correct
yeah
we're
just
yeah:
our
liability
is,
is
only
to
pass
through
what
we
receive.
There's
no
liability
to
pay
out
any
certain
amount
in
any
year.
We
pass
through
the
amount
we
receive
up
until
that
dollar
amount
that
was
approved,
and
then
the
tip
ends
that
the
earlier
of
that
dollar
amount
being
reached
or
20
years.
A
Okay,
thank
you.
Any
questions.
Council
members,
don't
look
like
it
all.
Those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
all
right-
and
you
want
to
post
signify
by
saying
they
motion-
carries
item
o.
Is
approval
of
development
agreement
for
tax
increment
financing
district
number
16,
which
is
the
ruins
and
I'll
ask
the
city
attorney
matt
roby,
to
tell
us
about
this.
One.
I
Thank
you
mayor.
On
march
1st,
the
council
approved
the
tax
increment
financing
district
plan
for
tip
district
16.,
but
we
did
not
have
a
development
agreement
at
that
time.
I
was
waiting
on
just
just
we're
just
waiting
to
make
sure
we
didn't
have
to
come
back
and
make
an
amendment
to
the
development
agreement
if
the
financing
situation
changed.
I
So
the
watertown
development
company
is
financing
the
tif
for
the
developer
and
they
have
obtained
financing
for
for
what
they
provided
the
developer
through
red
river
bank.
So
the
first
500
excuse
me
red
river
state
bank,
the
first
580
thousand
dollars
that
the
tif
generates
will
be
paid
out
directly
to
red
river
state
bank
and
then,
after
that,
the
remaining
amount
will
be
paid
out
to
the
watertown
development
company.
C
A
Okay,
and
that
is
it
for
the
those
items,
but
we
have
the
ones
that
I
moved
from
the
consent
agenda,
so
we'll
start
with
item
4h,
which
was
approval
for
the
street
division
and
park
rec
and
forestry
department
to
purchase
a
total
of
four
new
unused
dump
trucks
from
sanitation,
product
products.
Inc
in
sioux
falls
south
dakota
via
source
well
bid,
and
I
see
we
have
the
street
superintendent
in
the
room
and
we
have
the
park
director
online.
I
believe,
but.
K
Okay,
what
this
is
is
we
were
budgeted
to
get
three
different
trucks
for
the
street
department
and
park
and
rec
was
budgeted
to
get
one
truck
and
we
worked
together
to
basically
it
saved
us
some
time
and
I
helped
park
and
rec
out
on
on
equipment.
You
know
good
the
type
of
things
they
need
for
for
themselves
on
the
work
they
do
and
then,
of
course,
we
went
through
sanitation
products
for
all
this
through
source
well
bid.
K
A
K
K
E
S
A
A
He'll
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye,
all
right
and
you
want
to
post
signify
or
say,
nay,
motion
carries
okay
item.
I
is
approval
for
the
street
division
to
purchase
one
new
unused,
kubota
m5
tractor
for
fifty
two
thousand
nine
hundred
sixteen
dollars.
Sixty
three
cents
from
east
side
implement
via
source
well
bid
have
a
motion
by
why
in
a
second,
by
holding-
and
I
will
just
ask
the
street
superintendent
rob
bainen
to
tell
us
about
it.
Please.
K
This
is
basically
to
replace
one
of
our
old
tractors.
It's
a
1994
ford.
The
tractor
we're
looking
at
replacing
it
with
will
have
a
front
wheel,
assist
which
we
currently
don't
have
it'll
have
a
sealed,
enclosed
cab,
which
will
have
heat
in
there
we'll
be
using
that
tractor
for
more
things
than
we
were
previously
using
the
last
one
which
would,
in
the
spring
of
the
year
you
our
alleys
in
town,
get
quite
soft
and
we
have
issues.
We
can't
run
the
heavy
motor
grader
down
nose.
K
So
a
lot
of
times
we
pull
a
box
scraper
through
the
alleys
to
to
help
fill
the
holes
in
and
stuff
until
it
gets
firmed
up
enough
to
run
a
motor
grader
down,
and
currently
we
do
that
with
one
of
our
open
cab,
john
deere's
and
sometimes
as
ford,
but
that's
what
this
tractor
would
be
replacing
as
a
ford
for
doing
that,
plus
mowing
ditches
and
stuff
like
that
with
batwing
so
and
we're
budgeted.
Actually,
I
made
an
error
in
our
fam
financial
impact
you'll
see
on
your
council
packet.
K
A
Okay,
thank
you
rob
any
questions,
counsel,
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
I,
anyone
who
post
signify
saying
nay
motion,
carries
item
k
is
consideration
of
approval
and
award
for
the
cattail
crossing
golf
course.
Greens
replacement
bid
to
the
low
bidder
of
donek
inc
for
the
total
bid
amount
of
three
hundred
seventy
seven
thousand
five
hundred
dollars
and
to
authorize
the
mayor
to
sign
all
applicable
documents.
A
S
Yep,
thank
you
mayor
members
of
the
council.
As
the
mayor
stated.
What's
before
you
is
the
bed
we
opened
on
april
13th
for
the
gulf
greens
replacement
project.
If
you
recall,
we
did
take
bids
on
this
in
in
early
2020
and
they
were
over
budget
and
we
felt
the
beds
were
a
little
high.
So
the
council
did
reject
those.
S
S
We
have
a
start
date
of
july
26th
on
or
before,
and
we
want
to
do
that
because
we
need
a
12
week
grow
in
and
that
would
put
us
about
mid-june
2022
operational
and
opening.
We
basically
need
12
weeks
of
good
growing
weather,
so
we
hope
to
have
about
half
of
that
in
21
and
then
hit
the
other
half.
You
know
early
spring
early
summer
or
late
spring
early
summer
next
year.
So
and
we
do
have
a
plan
for
those
of
you
on
the
council.
Anybody
listening
you
know.
Part
of
these
is
eight
nine.
S
We
do
have
some
big
events
out
there.
Our
plan
is
to
reroute
the
oh,
be
the
red
course.
Instead
of
with
red
eight
being
closed,
we'd
actually
play
blue,
eight
and
blue
nine.
So
we
would
still
have
an
18
hole
championship
course
throughout
the
throughout
the
season.
So
but
yeah
late
july,
26
start
date
and
mid-june
weather
permitting.
A
N
A
C
A
Signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries.
Thank
you
kristen.
I
must
be
getting
tired.
Okay,
that
is
it
for
our
items.
We
have
resolution
20-15,
which
is
the
emergency
resolution
for
the
covid
pandemic,
which
we
usually
discuss
at
every
meeting
and
if
seeing
if
anybody
wants
to
make
a
change.
Basically
that
says
that
we'll
ask
people
to
follow
the
cdc
guidelines.
A
A
I
councilman
hollen
was
asking
if
I
wanted
to
talk
about
the
airport,
and
I
I
will
say
I
think
I
probably
is
worthwhile
to
say
that
there
was
an
order
awarding
the
essential
air
service
contract
to
key
lime,
air
and
the
city
had
recommended
sky
west
we've
had
such
great
success
and
wonderful
service
from
sky
west.
We
want
to
continue
with
that,
but
that's
not
how
it
went
so.
A
L
L
We
are
sad
to
see
her
go,
but
we
wish
her
the
best
in
the
meantime,
that
leaves
us
with
a
void
in
an
absolutely
vital
position
in
city
hall.
Perhaps
one
of
the
most
vital-
and
the
timing
of
this
is
one
that
I
have
this
request
to
make
applications
for
the
hr
director
will
close
on
may
3rd.
That
also
happens
to
be
the
date
that
we
will
hopefully
have
a
new
city
manager
chosen,
offer
him
or
her
the
job
and
hopefully
get
a
response
back
from
them
in
the
affirmative.
L
A
A
J
Met
mayor,
yes,
just
a
quick
announcement,
10th
avenue
north
construction
began
this
morning.
The
removal
is
on
phase
one,
which
is
on
the
west
half
of
the
project.
If
you
recall
those
asphalt
pavement
removals
have
begun
today.
So
all
the
traffic
control
is
up
just
advise
the
neighborhoods
and
citizens
to
you
know,
follow
those
detour
routes
and
such
they're
posted.
