City Council Meeting - 02-16-2021

B

A
B
Roby,
thank
you
mayor
several
meetings
ago.
I
made
an
issue
at
least
one
for
discussion
on
the
uncollectible
ambulance
accounts
receivable,
which
is
item
4b,
just
I
I
talked
with
kristen
earlier
today.
I
I'd
like
to
see
like
a
five-year
analysis
of
that,
because
those
numbers
are
adding
up
and
and
what
we're
seeing
is
those
that
get
submitted
to
the
accounts
collections,
people
we
might
get
some
of
that
back,
but
also
there's
the
ones
that
get
written
off
that
we
never
see
so
those
numbers.
I
guess
they've
caught
my
attention.
B
A
A
All
right
item
five
is
the
public
comments,
and
this
is
the
time
reserved
for
anyone
who
would
like
to
make
a
public
comment
to
step
forward
and
do
so.
Please
state
your
name
into
the
microphone
for
the
record
before
making
a
comment
and
if
your
comment
is
related
to
an
agenda
item.
Please
wait
until
that
agenda
item
is
taken
up
by
the
council
and
please
limit
your
comments
to
three
minutes.
Is
there
anyone
who
would
like
to
speak.
A
A
And
you
want
to
post
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item.
Seven
is
the
regular
agenda,
a
is
application
for
a
new
retail
on
off
sale,
malt
beverage
and
south
dakota
farm
wine
license
to
watertown
lodging
ventures
llc
doing
business
as
holiday
inn
express
at
2803,
8th
avenue
southeast
have
a
motion
by
lallam
in
a
second
by
holine
and
I'll.
Ask
finance
officer,
kristen
bobzing,
to
explain
this
to
us.
C
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
actually
a
and
b
I
I'll
kind
of
cover
them
together.
Both
of
these
are
for
the
holiday
inn
express
out
on
8th
avenue,
southeast
pretty
straightforward
application.
I
will
say
to
you
that
this
location
was
approved
by
the
board
of
adjustment.
So
if
there's
any
further
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
A
A
Anyone
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
item
b
is
application
for
a
new
retail
on
off
sale
wine
and
cider
license
to
watertown
lodging
ventures
llc
doing
business
as
holiday
inn
express
at
2803,
8th
avenue
southeast
have
a
motion
by
holleen
is
second
by
lollam
and
kristen
already
talked
about
this
one.
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
B
A
C
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
the
transfer
of
ownership
and
location
that
we
actually
was
postponed
at
the
last
meeting
being
brought
back
everybody.
I
think
everything's
been
taken
care
of
at
this
point.
This
would
be
the
third
license
for
that
location.
I
think,
if
you
remember,
I
had
discussed
how
this
location
is
now
broke
into
three
different
suites,
so
that
they
could
have
the
video
lottery
with
those.
If
there's
any
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
A
A
A
All
right
item
d
is
application
for
a
special
event:
retail
license
to
shooters
from
4
pm
friday
february
19
2021
until
4
o'clock
p.m,
friday
march
5th
2021
to
be
held
at
crossing
plaza,
the
old
shopko
709th
avenue
southeast
a
motion
by
vilhauer
and
a
second
by
lawlum,
and
I
will
ask
finance
officer,
kristen
bobsien,
to
tell
us
about
this.
One.
C
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
actually
the
first
time
we
will
be
using
one
of
our
new
special
event.
Retail
licenses,
this
will
be
shooters
will
be
the
one
holding
the
event
it
will
be
for
the
15
day,
time
frame
other
than
that
there's
really
not
much
else.
This
one
is
a
little
bit
different
too.
With
use
of
this
license,
the
location
did
not
have
to
go
through
any
board
of
adjustment,
or
anything
like
that.
So
there's
any
questions
I
can
try
to
answer
them
or
matt
can
also
help
us
out.
A
B
C
B
C
You
know
no,
if
it
was
direct
communication,
this
actually
went
through
the
ordinance
process.
It
was
actually
a
change
to
ordinance.
20-44
and
matt
can
probably
touch
a
little
bit
more
on
that.
I
can't
quite
remember
when
it
was
brought
forward,
but
I
don't
know
if
anything
was
exactly
communicated
to
them
like
a
letter
sent
out,
but
it
did
go
through
the
the
process
of
the
council
meetings.
E
Mayor,
yes,
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
it
just
make
sure
everybody's
just
clear
on
what
we
did
there.
You
know
we've
always
had
these
special
event
licenses.
All
we've
done
now
is
create
the
ability
for
hard
alcohol
sales
at
a
special
event,
and
so,
but
I
don't
disagree
there
should
be.
It
should
be
a
notice
to
the
to
the
owners
of
the
bars,
but
we
didn't
create
anything
new
here.
F
F
A
B
A
B
A
Anyone
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
item
e
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-03,
supplemental
appropriations
and
budget
line
item
transfers.
I
know
there's
no
motion
on
this.
It's
just
it's
a
first
reading,
so
finance
officer,
kristen
bobzien,
want
to
tell
us
about
it.
Please.
C
Thank
you
mayor
before
the
council
tonight
is
a
first
reading
of
a
supplemental
supplement
to
the
budget
and
then
there's
also
a
budget
line.
Item
transfer.
That's
attached
as
well
I'll.
First
go
over
the
ordinance
a
few
of
these
things.
Kind
of.
As
you
know,
we
process
the
budget
late
in
the
fall
and
things
happen,
and
things
come
up
and
change.
C
They
had
a
furnace
go
out
in
their
building,
so
the
8500
is
to
supplement
fixing
the
furnace
and
then
they
also
had
a
mower
that
I
think
it
was
kind
of
kind
of
got
lost
in
translation
during
the
budget
process,
but
instead
of
just
one,
they
needed
two
mowers
out
there.
So
that's
what
the
12
000
is
for
and
then
the
very
last
thing
is
something
that
kind
of
came
from
the
park
board
is
my
understanding
and
terry
is
online.
C
If
there's
any
clarification,
that's
needed,
but
this
would
be
to
actually
pour
some
foundation
strips
for
the
monuments
to
sit
on,
helps
with
the
maintenance
aspect
out
there.
That's
for
the
cemetery
and
then
the
for
the
golf
course
the
mower,
the
68
000.
That
was
actually
that
bid
that
we
just
approved
the
purchase
of
so
that
funding
is
going
to
come
from
the
golf
course
and
the
park
and
rec
fund
and
then
at
the
softball
complex.
C
C
This
ties
into
the
budget
line
item
transfers
that
I'll
be
going
over
next
10th
avenue
north.
The
supplement
of
the
420
000
will
be
to
cover
the
estimated
cost
of
10th
avenue.
I
think
we're
estimating
that
between
2.5
and
2.6
million
dollars,
the
420
000,
we
will
have
an
unassigned
fund
balance
just
from
a
few
projects
not
being
completed
last
year
and
also
not
going
to
be
carried
over
into
2021.
C
G
No
adam,
these
are
actually
the
foundation
fields,
it
was
actually
a
question
you
you
brought
up
in
the
budget
hearings
and
looking
back
there
was
miscommunication
between
the
parts,
division
and
softball.
They
never
got
in
there.
So
you're
aware
of
the
need.
These
are
foundation
field.
The
four
replacements
there.
C
What
we
needed
to
do
is
we
needed
to
take
the
funds
from
the
top
budget
items
and
move
it
to
the
10th
avenue
north
project.
So
what
you
see
is
each
one
of
those
budget
items
will
have
their
funding
taken
and
given
to
the
10th
avenue
north
project
to
hopefully
cover
all
of
those
costs
right
now.
I
think
the
last
estimate
that
heath
had
was
between
the
2.5
and
the
2.6
million
dollars
for
that
project.
H
Not
for
you
chris,
I
guess
I'll
direct
that
heath.
What
does
this
mean
relative
to
your
budget
now
for
meals,
seal
coat,
cracking
crack,
seeing
the
miller
milling
overlay?
What
does
that
mean?
Are
we
essentially
won't
be
doing
much
of
that
this
this
year,
or
what
does
it
mean
to
your
to
your
department.
F
Yes,
great
question:
councilman
bill
howard
I'll
share
my
screen
here,
just
so
that
I
don't
know
if
everybody's
looking
at
these
numbers
on
their
own
accord,
but
for
the
public's
knowledge.
This
is
a
list
of
the
currently
budgeted
2021
cip
projects
that
we
had
earmarked
going
through
the
budget
process
last
year.
F
We
knew
that
with
the
third
avenue
bridge
replacement
third
avenue
reconstruction
project,
along
with
the
10th
avenue
project
falling
on
the
same
year,
that
we
were
going
to
need
a
good
brunt
of
these
funds
to
be
pulled
from
these
maintenance,
pavement
maintenance
or
rehab
efforts.
So
we've
been
kind
of
the
staff
have
been
planning
to
utilize
these
in
that
capacity
and
you're,
absolutely
right.
So
in
21
we
will
not
be
having
a
crack
seal
fog
shield
project
we'll
be
postponing
that
into
22
and
then
performing
it
annually.
F
Thereafter,
like
we
normally
do
the
same
as
the
mill
and
overlay
project
for
almost
a
million
dollars
worth
of
funding.
We'd
be
foregoing
that
project
in
2021
and
then
we
also
had
a
half
a
million
designated
for
neighborhood
street
improvements
and
then
150
000
for
miscellaneous
strange
improvements.
These
funds,
together,
of
course,
help
accomplish
the
overall
funding.
That's
needed
to
complete
10th
avenue,
north
full,
reconstruct
and
kristen's
right
is
roughly
a
two
and
a
half
2.6
million
dollar
project
that
we're
looking
at
doing.
F
That
is
advertised
for
bid
right
now,
and
I
believe,
opens
here
the
19th.
I
remember
right
so
we'll
be
opening
those
bids
soon
and
we'll
see
what
kind
of
pricing
we
get
on.
Those
rest
assured,
though
I
mean
skipping
a
year,
isn't
detrimental
to
the
payment
network
throughout
the
city.
It's
not
ideal
to
do
that
very
often,
but
skipping
a
year
is
not
going
to
set
us
back
dramatically.
I
H
F
If
that
were
to
happen
here
at
early
on
in
the
spring,
depending
on
what
projects
we
have
bid
out
and
are
under
contract,
for
you
know,
we
could
have
some
flexibility
to
utilize
current
year
funds.
If
those
funds
already
spoken
for,
because
we've
entered
into
contracts,
we
definitely
have
to
work
with
kristin
and
then
the
council
to
look
at
any
kind
of
supplemental
funding
that
we
may
need
to
address
situations
like
that.
F
A
C
Thank
you
mayor.
Each
year
we
are
required
to
submit
to
the
council
of
summary
activities
and
then
also
the
preliminary
financials
so
before
the
council
there's
a
brief
summary
of
activities.
As
we
know,
the
urban
renewal
board
does
not
exist
anymore,
so
all
of
the
activities
have
that
are
listed
on
here
have
been
completed
by
the
city
council.
It
goes
over
that
really
the
biggest
two
things
that
happened
this
year
is
that
the
the
urban
renewal
assessment
rule
was
not
approved
by
the
city
council.
C
A
A
A
J
That
is
correct,
so
we
have
a
separate
account
set
up
at
rely
bank
for
this,
and
actually
we've
approved
three
loans
so
far
out
of
those
funds,
so
yep
and
kind
of
when
the
funds
were
over
are
when
you
guys
voted
to
turn
them
over.
I
think
I
said
I'd
provide
a
report
whenever
you
guys
wanted
how
that
was
happening.
J
A
E
Thank
you,
sir.
This
tax
increment
financing
district
was
approved
by
the
plan
commission
on
february
4th.
It's
a
proposed
11
million
dollar
16
000
square
foot,
mixed
use,
commercial
and
housing
development.
It
would
be
at
the
northwest
corner
of
west
camp
and
first
avenue
kitty
corner
from
the
high
rise.
E
E
As
you'll
recall,
the
city
was
entertaining
some
some
financing
options
for
for
tiffs
and
we
currently
have
a
an
rfp
out
to
the
local
banks
to
to
see
if
there's
an
appetite
for
for
financing
this
particular
tax,
increment
district
and
so
depending
on
the
outcome
of
that
there'll
be
a
one
way
or
another
there'll
be
a
development
agreement.
That'll
come
forward
in
the
future,
but
I
imagine
chris
is
still
in
the
room
and
can
answer
any
additional
questions
about
this
district.
H
Chris,
I
guess
I'll
ask
the
questions.
I
typically
ask
every
time
all
these
tips
come
forward,
so
bear
with
me
for
being
repetitious
if
it
seems
that
way,
but
it's
more
for
the
the
the
public's
information
that
this
does
meet
the
bet
the
but
four
tests.
In
other
words,
if
this
wouldn't
have
happened,
but
for
I
mean
the
development
wouldn't
happen,
but
for
the
creation
of
this
tif,
I
I
see
that
spelled
out
in
the
in
the
document,
so
that
is
satisfied.
H
H
H
I
guess,
as
we
look
at
the
next
one
I
mean
we
we've
been
utilizing
tiffs
quite
readily.
I
mean
it's
at
some
point.
We're
going
to
use
up.
It
may
be
quite
a
ways
or
many
tips
down
the
road,
but
that
is
an
amount
that
we
do
need
to
be
cognizant
of
as
far
as
where
we
are
as
far
as
the
allowable
tiffs
that
we
can
have.
J
Yeah,
that's
a
good
point
and
we're
always
cognizant
of
that.
As
we're
entertaining
projects,
I
think
to
one
of
our
advantages:
a
lot
of
the
land
that
we're
picking
out
is
assess
very
low.
So
when
you
start
taking
some
ag,
land
or
some
downtown
property
hasn't
been
assessed
very
high.
We're
able
to
get
a
lot
of
traction
out
of
that
number,
we're
restricted
to
so,
but
yeah
for
sure.
That's
one
of
the
things
we
look
at
right
away
and
we
start
piecing
this
together.
A
A
one
approval
of
resolution,
adopting
the
boundaries
and
approving
the
project
plan
of
tax,
increment
financing
district
number
15
within
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota
and
two
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
the
development
agreement
between
the
city
of
watertown
and
the
plains.
Apartments
llc
for
tax
increment
district
number
15.
matt.
Should
I
take
two
separate
motions,
or
can
I
wrap
them
together?
A
E
Thanks
mayor,
this
is
tax,
increment
financing,
district
number
15..
It
was
approved
by
the
plan
commission.
The
last
plan
commit
february
4th.
The
developer
here
is
the
plains
department's
llc.
It's
a
group
out
of
predominantly
out
of
fargo.
I
believe
this
is
a
little
bit
different
than
some
of
the
other
tips
we've
had
as
I
believe
this
is
the
first
one
that
we
will
be
considering
that
is
classified
as
affordable
housing.
It
is
not,
it
is
not
there's
no
commercial
or
retail
component
of
it.
It
is
three.
E
The
plan
is
for
three
72
unit
apartment
complexes.
It
looks
to
be
in
the
ballpark
of
a
20
million
dollar
project.
That'll
generate
roughly
5.9
million
dollars
in
increment
over
the
life
of
the
tif.
The
actual
eligible
project
costs
here
are
actually
8.5
million
roughly,
and
so
the
development
agreement
essentially
says
that
we're
paying
them
8.5
but
more
fairly,
certain
that
they
won't
actually
get
paid
that
amount
they'll
get
essentially
let
us
get
paid
for
20
years,
all
the
increment
and
then
the
tif
district
will
end
at
that
time.
D
I
don't
know
if
we
have
any
clarification
in
the
document
ours,
it's
page
255
of
285.
It
talks
about
the
2020
state
median
income.
In
order
for
this
to
be
affordable
housing.
I
understand
that
it's
supposed
to
be
based
off
the
80
rate
correct.
So
when
I
pulled
up
the
hud
for
2020-
and
I
just
want
somebody-
maybe
to
explain
it
to
me
here-
but
the
low
80
income
limits
were
for
a
four
person.
Family
is
60.
D
J
Yet
so
there's
two
separate
things
so
you've
got
the
income
limits,
but
then
there's
also
a
separate
document.
I
believe
that's
attached
to
this
plan
at
the
end
that
shows
the
rent
limit,
so
an
affordable
housing
tip
for
multi-family
they're,
not
worried
about
the
income
limits,
there's
more
to
rent
limit
restriction
and
I
believe
those
were
included
in
this
plan.
If.
D
Matt,
while
you're
doing
that
too,
can
you
address
it
with
the
affordable
housing
definition
as
outlined
for
the
tiff,
that's
kind
of
where
I'm
getting
thrown
off
with
it?
Just
because,
as
the
monthly
rental
rate,
housing
units
in
the
district
will
be
at
or
below
the
calculated
rent
for
the
state's
80
area,
median
income.
J
Yeah
and
matt
just
in
case,
so
this
is
so
we
submit
these
plans
to
the
department
of
revenue
for
pre
pre-classification,
and
then
they
come
back
and
say
no,
it
can
be
this
or
that
so
so
we
just
follow
their
rules
which
they
put
out
here.
So
I
mean
as
far
as
defining
where
they
get
those
I'm
not
certain
other
than
they
say
you
have
to
follow
these
guidelines,
which
we
attach
to
the
plan.
J
And
that's
why
affordable
housing
is
a
terrible
term
to
use,
so
I've
always
thought
we
should
change
your
name,
because
affordable
is
relative
to
different
situations.
So,
just
yes,
but
so
in
their
plan
they
have
to
follow
these
ren
samps
report
every
year,
their
rent
roll
for
the
first
five
years
of
their
project.
D
J
J
A
Okay-
and
there
is
a
development
agreement
along
with
this,
and-
and
I
just
want
to
clarify
her
public
knowledge-
that
this
will
create
an
increment
and
the
city
will
pay
the
developer
an
amount
but
not
more
than
the
increment.
The
actual
increment
is
that
true
matt
or
it's
it's
correct.
This
is
a
little
bit.
E
This
is
the
other
way
this
one's
a
little
bit
unique.
Is
that
typically,
the
tips
we've
done
up
until
now,
the
except
for
tiff10
we've
more
or
less
the
the
eligible
project
costs
have
been
closely
aligned
with
the
estimated
tiff
increment
that
will
be
generated,
or
here
the
estimated
increment
is
quite
a
bit
less
than
the
actual
project
costs
the
eligible
project
costs.
E
Nope,
the
other
yeah,
the
other,
the
other.
You
know
similarity
here
to
another
one
of
our
tips
to
the
terrex
tip.
This
is
a
pay
pay-as-you-go
there's,
no
financing
provided
by
the
public
other
than
the
tip.
So
after
20
years,
whatever
dollar
amount
we
just
passed
through
pursuant
to
this
tif
district
will
be
it
after
20
years.
It
just
ends
and
the
developers
are
under
understand
that.
D
This
got
answered
with
glenn's
question:
it's
just.
I
guess
I'm
not
used
to
seeing
it
just
because
the
other
ones
haven't
been
this
before
and
I
don't
mean
to
be
so
nitpicky
with
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
there's
really
a
warm
and
fuzzy,
because
most
folks
don't
have
a
warm
and
fuzzy
on
a
tiff
anyway,
even
as
many
times
as
we
get
educated
on
them,
they're
just
loads
of
fun,
but
in
the
language
on
252
of
285,
where
it
says
tif
district
number
15
is
expected
to
be
classified
as
affordable
housing.
D
Therefore,
this
classification
is
exempt
from
the
provisions
of
sdlc
or
sdcl
10-12-44-1
that
require
the
county
auditor
to
impose
an
additional
school
levy
on
real
property
within
the
district,
any
incremental
value
and
affordable
housing
development.
Tif
district
is
not
considered
in
the
state
aid
to
education
formula.
D
When
you
pull
that
up,
it
talks
about
basically
raising
additional
revenue
to
make
up,
for
it.
Is
that
just
understanding
that
we
don't
do
that
that
we
will
not
do
that
additional
levy?
I
just
want
to
make
sure
I
understood
that
language
right
and
I
think,
that's
kind
of
what
you
said,
but
I
just
again
want
to
warn
fuzzy.
E
E
It's
only
in
the
instances
of
a
local
tiff,
which
is
essentially
means
that
we
approve
a
tip
that
does
not
fall
into
any
statutory
classification
that
the
the
county
treasurer
is
directed
to
apply
that
additional
property
tax
to
make
up
that
revenue.
So
hopefully
that
is
enough
of
a
warm
fuzzy.
I
don't
know
chris
can
talk
to
it.
J
A
J
D
F
Madam
mayor
make
one
quick
comment.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
staff
for
their
time
on
this,
including
chris
and
his
staff
tracy.
They
do
a
lot
of
the
front
end
work
on
these
tiffs.
Then
they
come
through
the
planning
and
zoning
office
and
then,
of
course,
matt's
assistant,
but
brandi
and
stacey
are
both
online
tonight
with
us
and
they
put
a
lot
of
effort
into
these
in
helping
review
things,
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
them
for
their
efforts
as
well.
F
A
F
F
That's
what
starts
the
one-year
warranty
time,
clock
and
we've
since,
since
that
year
has
passed
now,
engineering
staff
have
gone
out
and
re-inspected
all
the
public
improvements
which
includes
sanitary
sewer,
storm
sewer
and
street
improvements,
along
with
the
necessary
curb
ramps
for
the
sidewalk
and
then
necessary.
Sidewalk
improvements
for
the
developed
lots
in
this
area.
F
B
F
K
Yes,
I
can
do
that,
so
we
actually
do
have
it
drafted
for
the
new
venture.
Third,
I
actually
just
there's
two
entities
because
the
there
is
a
detention
pond
over
to
the
west
of
what,
where
you
can
see
on
keith's
screen
there
there
you
go
yeah,
so
that
area
is
owned
by
a
different
entity
and
then
my
place
llc
owns
where
my
place
is
located
and
there's
also
a
detention
pond.
So
I
just
need
to
get
those
finalized
and
then
I'll
get
bill.
Fulgard's
signature,
but
I've
been
in
contact
with.
A
You
want
to
post
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
j
is
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
professional
services
agreement
with
norbi
golf
course:
design
inc
for
design
services
related
to
the
rebid
and
updated
scope
of
the
2020
greens
replacement
project.
In
addition
to
the
2021
course
projects
in
the
amount
of
eleven
thousand
dollars.
A
G
G
A
small
background,
if
you
recall
last
late
summer,
we
did
reject
the
bids
that
we
received
on
the
on
the
green
renovation
project,
basically
at
a
cost.
What
we've
done
at
this
point
we've
reached
out
to
the
same
consultant
to
ask
him
to
revitalize
the
scope
to
to
both
a
smaller
scale,
but
again,
to
add
what
we're
looking
for
for
the
2021.
G
So
the
project
will
still
involve
the
three
greens,
both
blue
one
blue,
two
and
red
eight.
In
addition
to
a
lift
station
project
and
some
wetland
areas
and
some
standing
water
issues,
we
have
the
the
pricing
did,
go
down,
it's
not
reflective
on
on
your
sporting
documents,
but
I
have
been
working
with
brandy
and
justin
on
doing
some
internal
engineering.
G
As
far
as
the
the
standing
water
issues
we
were
facing
out
there
so
to
move
forward
with
the
re-bid
for
2020
and
to
add
a
little
bit
of
2021
work
and
change
of
scope.
We're
just
looking
for
your
approval
to
have
the
mayor
enter
into
this
professional
service
agreement
for
the
design,
both
the
rebit
of
2020
and
the
new
project
of
2021.
A
Hi-
and
you
want
to
post
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
thanks.
Terry
item
k
is
consideration
of
policy
regarding
council
meeting
public
decorum.
So
I
will
take
this
one
myself.
I
included
in
the
packet
a
proposed
policy
which
would
give
us
a
document
to
refer
to
if,
if
we
ever
need
to,
if
we
have
a
situation
where
people
too
many
people
show
up
for
the
time
allotment
or
we
have
inappropriate
conversation
going
on
in
during
the
public
comment
period.
So
I
circulated
the
policy
around
and
it
includes
most
of
the
people's
comments.
A
A
H
Just
maybe
a
comment,
a
question
as
far
as
requiring
people
to
sign
up,
that's
not
unusual
or
count
our
cotton
county
commissioners
do
the
same
thing
at
their
meetings.
Our
planning
commission
commissioners
do
that
at
their
meetings
requiring
someone
to
register
or
to
sign
up.
So
what
we're
asking
is
not
out
of
line
with
what
other
organizations
are
doing
in
the
community.
H
Is
it
our
intent
to
have
this
also
apply
to
the
planning
commission
to
the
airport
board?
To
you
know
the
other
other
groups
around
town
that
that
are
city
affiliate,
is
that
the
intent
is
well
for
those
groups.
I'm
just
asking.
I
guess
I
haven't
given
that
much
thought.
I'm
just
posing
the
question
now.
A
K
A
Like
the
sign
up
part,
that's
a
it's
an
extra
additional
hassle.
Really
I
mean
I
we
didn't
have
anybody
today,
but
I
would
have
had
to
remember
to
get
the
sign
up
sheet
and
have
it
handy
and
see
if
anybody
was
on
there
and
not
that
it's
a
big
deal.
I
could
certainly
do
that,
but
that
is
an
extra
step
that
we're
not
doing
right
now
and
what
what
happens?
A
If
you
forget,
I
guess
it's
a
delay
and
go
get
it
and
I
don't
know
how
I've
actually,
since
they've
been
doing
this,
I
haven't
even
really
noticed
the
plan
commission
transferring
up
to
the
chairman
and
the
chairman
hasn't
even
been
at
the
meetings
and
they
never
have
anybody.
I've
never
seen
anybody
come
to
the
public
comment
period,
but
heath
do
they
like
make
an
effort
to.
F
Let
the
chair
know
that
you
know
citizens
xyz
have
signed
up,
but
I
do
think
if
we
were
going
to
initiate
that
at
the
council
meetings
we
would
want
to
internally
figure
out
those
logistics.
Is
that
a
function
of
the
finance
office
staff
is
that
a
function
the
mayor
themselves
would
perform?
What
would
that
look
like
and
who's
going
to
facilitate
it?
Just
so
it
doesn't
get
left
forgotten
or
right.
A
mishap
like
that
occur.
A
A
I
If
you're
looking
for
an
official
motion
on
that,
I
would,
I
would
make
that
you
know
to
add
the
words
or
shorten
and
while
we're
at
it,
the
grammar
nerd
in
me
would
point
out
bullet
point
three
in
the
three
in
the
section
3.0
procedure
on
the
third
line.
It
should
be
what
comma,
if
any,
comma
action.
A
I
I
I
just
want
to
say
in
this
area,
in
this
era
of
social
media,
people
behave
so
much
better
when
they
have
to
write
down
their
name
and
it's.
I
know
it's
a
little
thing,
but
I've
witnessed
it
so
many
times
it
just
really
helps
the
person
behave,
and
I
think
it
just
would
help
all
of
watertown.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
I
would
commend
passage.
B
Counselor,
I
would
disagree
as
well.
I
think
you,
if
you
have
a
large
group
that
are
going
to
be
talking
anyway,
if
there's
15
10
to
15
people
that
are
signed
up,
you
can't
give
everyone
five
minutes
either
way
so
by
us.
Putting
in
that
allowing
it
to
be
shortened.
I
think
that'll
take
care
of
some
of
that,
nothing
against
bruce's
idea
at
all.
I
do
think
that
if
other
boards
and
groups
want
to
modify
this
to
their,
what
would
work
for
them.
I
think
that's
fine,
in
my
opinion,
as
well.
A
B
B
A
B
A
A
A
E
D
Think
the
flexibility
you
have
with
the
first
amendment
that
was
made
sufficiently
covers
the
three-minute
concern
I
mean
most
the
time
people
don't
even
utilize
the
whole
five
minutes,
it's
so
rare
that
we
even
hit
that
at
all.
If
we
do
the
sign
up
procedure-
and
we
see
that
there's
going
to
be
a
large
number,
I
think
there's
enough
flexibility
there
to
limit
it.
Otherwise
most
folks
get
done
saying
what
they
need
to
within
that
period.
I
I
And
I
know
it's
a
little
thing,
but
I
swear
it
makes
a
difference.
If
people
know
that
they
have
five
minutes
versus
three
because
they
go
three.
It's
like.
Oh
man.
I
don't
even
know
if
I
have
enough
time
to
say
what
I
have
to
say,
but
for
some
reason
five
is
okay
in
people's
minds.
So
I
would
say
just
keep
it
at
five.
A
J
I
E
C
E
C
I
B
A
A
A
Okay
and
then
item
l
is
review
of
the
continued
necessity
of
resolution
number
20-15
declaring
an
emergency
concerning
the
pandemic
outbreak
of
the
novel
coronavirus,
covet
19
and
providing
for
responsive
measures
related
to
the
operations
of
the
city
and
the
protection
of
public
health.
We
put
this
on
the
agenda
every
at
every
meeting
to
just
see.
If
anyone
wants
to
change
anything
as
it
is
now,
we
have
an
expiration
of
the
wording
about
wearing
masks
that
expires
march
31st
unless
any
further
action
is
taken.
A
A
Sure
so
a
pod
is
a
way
of
doing
a
mass
vaccination
of
a
lot
of
people.
The
rate
that
we're
receiving
vaccine
in
our
community
is
slow
enough
that
the
clinics
are
able
to
do
it
without
having
to
do
a
pod
they
as
long
as
it's
trickling
in
at
these
slow
numbers
that
it
is
trickling
in.
We
have
no
need
for
a
pod.
A
We
don't
know
for
sure
if
that's
going
to
happen,
but
if
we
want
to
get
everyone
vaccinated
by
summertime,
which
is
what
it's
sounding
like
the
goal
is,
we
will
probably
have
to
do
a
pod,
because
our
clinics,
healthcare
providers,
pharmacies,
they're
they're,
going
to
be
overwhelmed
if
we
get
a
big
batch
of
it.
So
we're
doing
the
pod
planning
now
just
in
case
and
so
that
if
we
hear
okay
in
three
weeks,
you're
going
to
get
2
000
doses
that
would
overwhelm
our
clinics.
A
So
we
we've
got
two
weeks
to
get
that
going
and
we've
got
all
the
names
and
we
know
who's
doing
what
and
where
it's
going
to
be
and
how
we're
going
to
manage
everything.
So
that
planning
is
going
on
right
now.
There
is
no
pod
scheduled
at
this
time,
but
we
don't
have
knowledge
of
a
big
dose
of
vaccine
coming
to
us
either
so
we'll
just
hopefully
that
will
come
and
then
we'll
have
a
have
a
pod.
Any
questions
about
that.
A
Right,
it
may
not
happen
right
and
if
we
do
have
a
a
pod,
I
should
add
that
our
area
would
include
four
counties.
It
would
include
coddington,
clark,
hamlin
and
duel
counties,
so
there's
there's
a
whole
incident
command
team
set
up
working
on
this.
It's
a
different
command
team
than
the
covid
task
force.
This
command
team
includes
lots
and
lots
of
healthcare
providers.
A
D
A
Well,
we
don't.
This
is
not
federal
property,
but
any
federal
property.
Yes,
that
any
anyone
in
watertown,
that's
on
federal
property
would
have
to
comply
with
the
mask
mandate
that
does
apply
in
our
town
in
our
state
anywhere,
there's
federal
property.
So
I
don't
know
where
all
that
would
the
airport
the
airport?
Yes.
A
H
So
it's
a
good
input
from
our
hr
director
economic
development
director,
our
city
attorney
the
mayor,
weighed
in
with
some
helpful
comments
via
email,
so
we're
meeting
tomorrow
afternoon
with
the
goal
still
having
and
we
have
been
keeping
the
rest
of
council
up
to
date
too.
As
far
as
meeting
minutes,
if
you
want
to
call
that
that
councilman
holine
has
been
drafting
and
with
the
goal
of
having
some
sort
of
report
to
present
to
the
to
the
body
at
our
first
meeting
in
march,
going
very
well
good
good
dialogue.
H
H
A
I
Thank
you
mayor,
I'm
not
sure
if
I
should
jump
in
front
of
councilman
albertson,
who
would
unlikely
who
would
likely
ask
about
the
progress
on
a
possible
multi-purpose
ice
facility.
So
I
thought
I
would
just
take
the
lead
on
that
and
answer
the
question
that
I
believe
he
was
going
to
ask.
So
we
have.
We
are
continuing
to
make
progress
on
creating
the
501c3
charity
that
will
be
able
to
take
charitable
donations
to
the
project.
I
have
been
working
with
both
user
groups.
I
I
A
business
has
come
forward.
They
want
to
remain
anonymous
for
right
now,
but
a
business
has
come
forward
with
a
million
dollar
donation
for
the
project.
I
will
also
say
that
that
is
not
site
specific.
The
ice
committee
has
not
finalized
a
site,
yet
we
have
three
that
we
very
much
like.
We
just
need
to
finalize
some
situations
there,
but
we
are
a
million
dollars
closer
to
making
this
happen.
So
this
is
fantastic.
H
Not
really
a
liaison
member,
but
I
did
reach
out
to
our
utilities
director
today.
People
are
probably
aware
that
codington
clark
electric
has
had
today,
I'm
not
sure
what
their
plans
are
tomorrow
had
rolling
blackouts
surrounding
the
area
I
reached
out
to
our
utilities.
Director
asked
him:
where
do
we
stand
his
his
quick
reply?
Back
was
no
issues,
so
I
think
we
can
take
heart
that
you
know,
in
spite
of.
What's
we've
been
dealing
with
we're
in
good
shape
here
with
our
utilities
within
the
city.
G
What
they
do
is
they
build
beds
for
children
and
their
goal
is
nobody
in
my
town
sleeps
on
the
floor
and
what
they're
looking
for
is
more
volunteers
and
when
I
volunteered
for
this
there's
probably
I'd,
say
35
to
40
people
there
and
they
built
beds
that
day
in
the
metrics
facility
that
was
previously
owned
by
terrax
and
chad.
Ashendorf
is
the
co-chair
president
with
his
wife
samantha
and
he
can
be
reached
at
881
2675
and
they
are
looking
for
someone
that
could
possibly
donate
them
a
heated
shop.
