The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
approval
of
the
consent
agenda
and
I
have
a
couple
of
changes
to
make:
we're
going
to
pull
item
f
and
we're
going
to
move
item.
I,
which
is
the
approval
of
a
temporary
construction
easement
to
the
regular
agenda
to
the
end,
and
also
would
like
to
make
the
note
that
item
g,
the
authorization
for
the
mayor
to
sign
a
letter
to
the
u.s
army
corps
of
engineers,
indicating
the
intent
of
the
city
to
sponsor
a
flood
control
study.
A
A
Okay
kristen
did
you
get
that
councilman
y
and
hoyer
are
recusing
from
items
d
and
e?
Yes,
thank
you
all
right.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
the
public
comment
period
and
we
do
have
a
policy
with
some
rules
that
apply
to
the
public
comment
period.
Is
there
anyone
here
that
would
like
to
speak?
This
is
your
chance
if
you're
online
just
say,
request
permission
to
speak.
A
G
Colin
paulson
watertown
resident-
I
just
want
to
to
say
thank
you
to
the
street
department.
I
know
they're
short-manned
a
lot
and
not
really
my.
I
guess
my
place
right
here,
but
they
really
deserve
a
lot
of
credit.
I
saw
rob
out
there
and
a
blade
today
and
even
though
they're
dumb
ape
guys,
it
sounded
like
they're
doing
a
great
job
for
the
city,
and
I
know
you
guys
all
know
that.
But
I
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
at
the
public
content
so.
A
A
F
came
off
totally
and
I
moved
on
to
the
regular
any
other
questions
or
comments
all
right,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Anyone
post
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
okay.
The
regular
agenda
is
item
seven
and
a
is
the
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-04
amending
the
zoning
map
of
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota,
for
a
portion
of
property
located
on
the
northwest
corner
of
highway
81
and
16th
avenue
northeast
from
c2
local
commercial
district
to
our
three
multi-family
residential
district.
A
I
I
They've
submitted
this
petition
to
rezone
a
portion
of
their
land
from
c2
local
commercial
district
to
our
three
multifamily
residential
district
for
the
purpose
of
constructing
an
apartment
complex.
The
property
is
located
in
the
northwest
corner
of
highway
81
and
16th
avenue
northeast
and
is
currently
vacant
land.
I
I
A
A
F
A
I
D
B
D
A
I
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
another
rezone
in
another
area
of
town,
where
the
landowner
is
seeking
to
rezone
a
series
of
lots
that
are
currently
zoned,
r2a
single-family
attached
residential
to
the
c3
highway
commercial
district,
zoning
district
for
the
purpose
of
future
commercial
redevelopment
in
this
area.
I
Again,
this
of
course
went
through
the
planning
commission,
as
normally
would
for
a
rezone.
They
did
recommend
approval
to
the
city
council
on
a
5-0
vote
after
february
18th
2021
meeting
again
with
the
second
reading
being
tonight.
There
is
the
public
hearing
and
the
action
from
the
council,
and
I
will
again
pull
up
a
map
for
reference
and
share
that
information
on
the
screen
and
then
stand
by
for
any
questions,
and
I
forgot
to
mention
community
development
manager.
Stacy
bungard
is
also
online
with
us
tonight
too,
for
questions.
I
That
is
correct,
so
you
can
see
here.
We
have
8th
avenue
southeast
3rd
street
southeast
and
the
properties
in
question
here,
as
highlighted,
would
be
rezoned
from
r2a,
which
is
the
goldish
yellow
color.
On
the
map
to
a
c3
district.
You
can
see
everything
around
it
here
is
currently
c3
in
the
red
zoning
designation
on
this
map,
and
I
believe
the
applicant
is
in
the
audience
here
with
us
tonight
too.
If
anybody
has
any
specific
questions
for
mr
landsberger
he's
here
to
help
answer
him
as
well.
A
A
A
A
C
I
don't
really
have
a
question
mike.
I
did
have
a
chance
to
drive
by
that.
I
see
that
you
have
demoed.
One
of
the
buildings
is
the
other
one,
correct
yeah,
so
I
think
it's
a
good
addition
for
that
neighborhood.
It
sounds
like
you
know.
It's
just
kind
of
working
its
way
through,
so
I
know
the
properties
that
are
to
the
west
of
it
that
have
residential
houses
on
there.
I
would
assume
at
some
point
if
they
come
available,
you'll
be
looking
at
that
too.
D
F
A
I
I
We
felt,
valuable
and
prudent
to
have
in
in
this
location
and
would
do
so
through
a
formal
assessment
similar
to
what
we're
doing
on
the
10th
avenue
reconstruction
project.
So
with
that,
the
proper
notices
have
been
sent
to
the
property
owners
on
the
north
side
of
third
avenue
marcie
luna
engineer
1
is
with
us
here
tonight.
She's
helped
spearhead
a
lot
of
those
communications
and
following
the
state
statutes
regarding
assessments
for
sidewalk
improvements
and
her
or
I
can
stand
by
for
any
questions
you
might
have.
F
A
B
We
had
one
person
with
feedback
from
the
initial
letter
and
it
was
actually
a
commercial
area
in
the
it
would
be
on
the
east
side
of
the
limits
he
did
have
some
concerns
at
the
time.
I
asked
him
to
write
heath
bonney
our
city
engineer
letter
with
his
concerns.
Did
he
do
that?
I
never
heard
if
he
actually
sent
anything.
I
B
B
F
F
B
D
A
H
A
B
F
E
A
B
Thank
you
mayor
before
you
is
an
application
for
a
new
wine
insider
license
I'll
actually
cover
two
they're,
also
applying
for
the
malt
beverage
and
south
dakota
farm
wine.
Everything
is
in
order.
Both
licenses
they've
went
through
the
board
of
adjustment
for
approval,
so
it's
just
seeking
council
approval.
J
B
A
B
Essentially,
anybody
who
is
in
a
new
location
that
has
never
been
approved
for
an
alcohol
license,
it's
our
requirement
that
they
go
through
the
board
of
adjustment.
There's
some
rules
about
your
location
next,
to
whether
it
be
a
church,
a
school,
a
daycare.
So
then
the
board
of
adjustment
essentially
looks
at
all
those
and
deems
that
the
location.
A
See
nothing
I'll
look
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
Anyone
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item
e
is
application
for
a
new
retail
on
off
sale.
Malt
beverage
and
south
dakota
farm
wine
license
to
austin
petrick,
doing
business
as
labview
sports
bar
and
grill
at
14,
14,
9th
avenue,
southeast
sweet
c
and
d
motion
by
helene
and
a
second
by
law
albertson
before.
A
That's
right
and
same
thing,
kristen
anything
else
to
add
about
this.
Nothing
different
with
this
one
mayor
all
right.
Thank
you
I'll
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing.
If
there's
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
about
this,
please
come
forward
or
state.
Your
name
see
no
one
I'll
close
the
public
hearing,
counsel
any
questions
or
comments
all
right,
I'll
look
for
action,
then
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
A
Anyone
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay,
motion
carries
all
right.
Item
f
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-07
zoning
text,
amendment
to
chapter
21.1002,
residential,
heightened
placement
regulations
for
accessory
structures
of
the
revised
ordinances
of
the
city
of
watertown.
There's
no
action,
so
don't
jump
to
the
microphone
heath.
You
want
to
tell
us
about
this
one.
Please.
I
Absolutely
thank
you
mayor.
This
is
first
reading
for
zoning
text
amendment.
This
one
is
specifically
accomplishing
two
things
related
to
accessory
structures.
I've
pulled
up
the
the
the
case
summary
here:
the
notes
on
the
console
packet
just
for
the
audience's
information.
This
is
located
in
in
chapter
21.
I
It's
section
21.1002,
the
first
main
item
that
this
addresses
is
increasing
the
maximum
height
for
an
accessory
structure,
greater
than
200
square
feet
from
18
feet
up
to
20
feet,
and
then
the
second
main
function
that
this
amendment
is
performing
is
that
it's
also
increasing
the
maximum
sidewall
height
for
an
unattached
garage
from
10
feet,
2
inches
up
to
12
feet
now.
Obviously,
both
of
these
amendments
help
to
accommodate
a
larger
accessory
structure.
I
Staff's
been
working
with
the
planning
commission
on
this,
something
that
we
felt
was
amicable
to
for
a
solution
to
help
meet
the
community's
needs,
but
also
we
didn't
want
to
also
have
such
large
dimensions
for
accessory
structures
that
it
became
a
nuisance
or
an
issue
for
other
residents
in
the
neighborhoods.
So
and
keeping
all
that
in
check.
The
planning
commission
unanimously
recommended
approval
at
the
march
4th
2021
meeting,
7-0
and
again
stacy
bungard's
online
with
us
and
her.
I
can
stand
by
for
any
questions.
D
B
K
I
Yes,
no
great
great
question,
councilman
albertson
and
just
for
clarity,
I'm
glad
you
asked
that,
because
the
door
height
would
still
be
limited
to
typically
the
sidewall
height
in
this
case
12
feet.
So
the
second
change
here
is
really
what's
going
to
drive
some
of
the
the
door
height
changes
that
20
feet.
Increase
from
18
is
the
overall
structure
height.
So,
of
course
you
have
your
your
pitch.
I
A
All
right,
thank
you.
Anyone
else,
okay,
we'll
move
on!
The
next
item
is
the
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-08
amending
the
zoning
map
of
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota
for
a
portion
of
river
ridge
estates,
edition
from
a1
agricultural
district
to
r1
single
family
residential
district,
again
a
first
reading.
So
no
action
and
heath
won't
tell
us
about
this.
Please.
I
I
C
I
You
know
they
did
recently
update
their
preliminary
plan
and
it,
of
course
included
this.
This
area,
that's
mark
21,
is
actually
becoming
a
city
park
land
and
then
the
subsequent
areas
around
here
would
continue
to
be
developed.
Under
that
preliminary
plan,
I
can't
speak.
Maybe
stacey
could
to
what
phase
is
next
after
this
one,
but
I
don't
know
stacy.
Do
you
know
that
off
the
top
of
your
head.
I
A
A
I
I
A
I
In
yes,
let
me
scroll
down
to
the
development
agreement,
the
standard
development
agreement,
I'm
trying
to
recall
off
the
top.
My
head.
There
were
some
sidewalk
components
in
here
for
the
easterly
lots
where
the
planning
commission
had
deemed
that
we
wanted
some
front
yard,
sidewalk
street
side,
sidewalk
built
along
the
east
side
of
lewis
and
clark
trail.
I
believe
those
are
outlined
in
this
development
agreement.
I
Some
of
these,
some
of
the
language
of
the
development
agreement
simply
reiterates
what
our
common
development
agreements
always
say
and
even
though
they're
already
built
it,
it
is
outlining.
You
know
the
fact
that
palisades
lane
and
lewis
and
clark
trail
need
to
be
constructed
as
approved,
and
then
there
are
some
some
drainage
improvements
in
here,
along
with
a
drainage
swale,
that's
going
to
be
installed
through
some
grading
efforts
with
this
phase.
What
that
drainage,
swale
will
do
is
help
address
some
existing.
I
That's
in
part
due
to
the
the
city's
buyout
of
the
willow,
creek
drainage
land
that
we
own
and
recuperate
that
cost
now,
since
we
purchased
that
years
ago.
So
those
are
some
of
the
things
that
are
memorialized
in
this
development
agreement,
stacy
or
jacob
could
certainly
chime
in.
If
I'm
forgetting
something
of
substance.
Here
that
should
be
noted.
F
Heath
in
the
sidewalk
section,
in
section
eight,
it
says
that
there's
gonna
be
five
foot
wide
sidewalks,
going
into
lots
one
and
two
on
block
four.
The
rest
of
it
goes
to
their
successors
is.
Can
you
explain
the
language
on
that?
To
me
just
is
that
whoever
decides
to
build
on
any
of
these
lots
will
be
responsible
for
the
sidewalks
and
then,
if
we
are
going
that
route
who's
tracking
that
and
how
are
we
enforcing
it?.
I
Yes,
great
question
so
lot
one
and
two
in
block
four:
these
are
the
only
two
lots
that
are
going
to
be
east
of
lewis
and
clark
trail.
So
this
alignment
I
apologize.
I
don't
have
an
overall
view
of
how
lewis
and
clark
trail,
but
it
continues
south
here
and
the
planning
commission's
intent
during
the
preliminary
plan
phase.
I
The
concept
plan
phase
and
preliminary
plan
was
that
they
deemed
it
appropriate
for
the
developer
to
continue
use
of
the
backyard
common
green
space
pathways,
which
they
will
be
constructing
in
this
phase,
but
they
did
make
it
a
requirement
that
along
lewis
and
clark
trail,
we
we
do
install
sidewalk
in
the
front
yards
for
these
lots.
Only
so
that's
why
these
are
the
only
two
lots
that
are
specifically
called
out
for
that
requirement.
F
Heath
I
apologize
a
little
bit.
I
I
know
that
we
talked
about
this
when
this
was
first
coming
up
with
this,
because
it
was
a
pud
there's
a
lot
of
history
on
this
lot,
just
because
they
are
doing
a
kind
of
less
conventional
method
of
walking
transportation.
I'll
call
it,
but
I
guess
I'm
asking
into
it
a
little
bit,
because
I
still
don't
love
the
inconsistency
with
our
sidewalk
policy.
F
I
know
that
would
kind
of
compromise
here,
since
this
is
the
outside
right
away
kind
of
for
walking,
but
I
still
can't
help
it
go
at
some
point.
Are
there
going
to
be
kids
that
live
in
this
thing
and
then
what
do
they
do
for
halloween?
Are
they
walking
in
the
streets?
What
are
they
doing,
or
maybe
we're
just
assuming
nobody
walks
and
everybody
drives
a
car.
I
Yeah,
I
know
those
are
great
concerns
and
you
know
I
know
that
those
discussions
were
had
through
that
concept
plan
phase
and
it
is
a
it's
a
different
mindset
for
a
subdivision
like
this.
You
know,
of
course,
we're
used
to
the
need
and
the
convenience
for
that
sidewalk
to
be
in
the
front
yards,
because
that's
the
path
that
you
typically
will
see
the
neighborhood
pedestrians,
whether
they're
from
the
neighborhood
or
not.
That's
where
you
typically
would
see
that
pedestrian
traffic.
I
F
Right
and
that'll
all
run
along
that
I'm
tracking
it,
but
I
guess
the
big
thing
is
the
council
and
future
councils
will
have
to
kind
of
ask
themselves.
Are
we
just
thinking
a
little
too
short-sighted
in
the
sense
that
we're
assuming
what
we're
never
going
to
expand
to
the
east?
We
might
not
expand
to
the
north,
because,
yes,
this
makes
a
lot
of
sense
when
it's
just
kind
of
in
its
own
little
world.
F
I
know
that
it
actually
connects
with
the
trail
system
out
there
too,
and
they
have
good
access
to
that.
But
I've
lived
in
communities
that
use
these
back
walkways
as
well.
They're
great
they're,
really
lovely,
I
think
they'll
get
great
use
out
of
it
same
time.
They
also
had
sidewalks.
They
did
both
it's
just
one
of
those
things
where
I
just
hope:
we're
not
shooting
ourselves
in
the
foot
30
years,
50
years
down
the
line
like
some
of
our
neighborhoods
that
are
even
interior
to
the
town.
F
Now
that
have
no
sidewalk
sections
as
soon
as
you
get
north
of
what
is
at
10th
avenue,
they
just
kind
of
disappear
over
there
by
kind
of
say,
martin's
highland
park
area.
So
I
understand,
there's
different
thought
processes
on
it
and
I'm
not
trying
to
put
you
on
the
spot,
but
I
do
think
it's
something
we
do
have
to
think
about
as
a
community.
F
I
E
E
E
With
the
recent
phases
we
have
agreed
to
do
that
it
wasn't
something
that
the
city
required
before,
but
that
was
part
of
our
discussion
this
time
and-
and
we
understand
and
are
perfectly
fine
with
that
for
all
the
phases
moving
forward.
I
believe
that's
part
of
our
developer
agreement
is
a
maintenance
agreement
for
that
purpose.
A
One
of
the
things
about
sidewalks
in
the
back
is
that
in
a
lot
of
cases
like
in
this
case,
up
until
now,
the
snow
hasn't
been
removed.
So
it's
only
a
seasonal
sidewalk
and
if
there's
a
lot
of
snow,
it's
pretty
hard.
Even
if
you
remove
the
snow
from
the
trail,
it's
pretty
hard
for
the
the
users
to
get
to
the
trail
unless
they
remove
the
snow
in
a
path
in
their
backyard.
A
F
E
You
know
there
there
are
certain
situations
where
short
distances.
You
know
I
can
see
where
you
know.
I've
lived
in
neighborhoods
like
this,
where
we
have
the
rear
trail
system,
and
you
know
there
are
occasionally
times
where
it's
it's
just
a
shorter
distance
to
walk
across
in
the
front.
But
you
know
we
every
single
lot
in
the
development
has
a
connection
to
the
common
space
and
the
trail
system.
E
You
know,
there's
not
a
pavement
connection
to
their
house
because
we,
you
know
we'd
like
to
maintain
the
greenery
and
the
green
space
and
not
everyone
wants
a
you
know,
a
path
from
the
back
of
their
house
to
the
trail
system.
But
you
know
there
are
some
people
that
do
install
some
connections
in
the
rear
yard.
You
know.
E
A
In
the
street
I
think
it's
in
the
street
I
mean,
I
know
in
there's
other
another
subdivision
that
doesn't
have
sidewalks,
that
my
mother
lived
in
and
their
homeowner
association
paid
someone
to
remove
the
snow
from
the
grass
in
a
path
parallel
to
the
street,
so
that
the
residents
wouldn't
have
to
walk
in
the
street
when
they
walked
their
dogs
or
went
from
one
house
to
the
other.
So
you
know
that
our
climate
makes
this
kind
of
a
system
challenging,
but
this
winter
would
have
been
just
fine.
We
didn't,
I
mean
some
winters.
It's.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
and
say
with
my
colleague
to
the
right.
I
don't
think
you're
beating
a
dead
horse.
I
think
these
are
valid
concerns
because
of
the
winter
and
how
do
you?
How
do
you
get
to
the
back
lots
and
where
are
people
going
to
walk
their
dogs?
I
think
is
valid
concern,
plus
all
the
sidewalk
questions
that
we
have
had
here
for
the
last
year.
H
E
F
K
B
F
J
A
J
J
J
So
next
just
a
reminder
of
our
mission
and
our
goals.
Our
mission
is
connecting
people
to
the
joy
of
reading
information
and
lifelong
learning,
and
we
have
outlined
five
main
goals
in
our
2019-24
strategic
plan
and
it's
actually
one
of
our
bright
spots
this
year,
meaning
2020
because
it
was
such
a
challenging
year.
J
So
I'm
going
to
continue
with
my
challenges
in
bright
spots
theme
like
so
many
in
our
community
and
around
the
world.
Covet
19
has
incredible
incredibly
challenging,
but
I'm
so
proud
of
the
resiliency
and
the
creativity
of
our
staff
to
transform
library
services
and
improve
in
all
areas
of
library
service.
So
on
the
bottom
left
there
I
talk
about
our
new
and
or
improved
services,
and
they
have
and
they
kind
of
meet
all
of
those
areas.
J
We
have
offered
virtual
recorded
and
passive
programs.
We
added
a
mobile
printing
service.
Additional
online
resources
to
help
me
meet
information
needs
during
the
pandemic,
especially
for
students,
one
of
which
was
a
resource
called
america's
news.
That
includes
an
image
edition
of
the
watertown
public
opinion,
which
has
proved
incredibly
popular.
J
We
also
imagined
our
library's
physical
spaces
and
that
enabled
us
to
expand
collections
in
children's
and
young
adult
to
expand
a
nice
reading
area
in
our
adult
sections,
as
well
as
develop
a
dynamic
indoor
play
space
at
play
and
learning
space
for
children.
That's
right
next
to
all
of
our
wonderful
print
resources,
meaning
our
books
and
our
kits
and
things
of
that
nature.
J
Only
one
of
them
did
our
library
have
a
response
of
no
for
the
rest
of
the
12
questions.
We
all
responded
yes
and
they
ranged
from.
Did
you
close
to
the
public
for
any
certain
amount
of
time?
Did
you
offer
curbside
services?
Yes,
we
did.
Did
you
offer
virtual
or
recorded
programs?
Yes,
we
did.
Did
you
offer
expanded
wi-fi
into
your
parking
lot?
Yes,
we
did.
Did
you
offer
online
registration
for
library
cards?
J
So
I
think
that
during
covid,
once
again,
our
staff
was
so
resilient
and
creative
to
meet
the
needs
of
the
community
during
that
time.
And
so,
if
you
look
on
our
slide,
we've
got
more
of
the
bright
spots
and
I
do
want
to
mention
them.
Even
though
we
are
going
to
get
to
the
data
in
the
top
right
hand,
corner
we
have
our
assistant
city,
librarian,
maria
gruner,
and
our
young
adult
library,
specialist,
jamie
formanec.
This
year
they
won
an
award
for
their
presentation
during
the
poster
session
of
sdla
about
discord
and
virtual
programming.
J
We
also
have
kind
of
an
outreach
committee
and
on
that
committee,
is
our
children's
library,
specialist,
sarah
overvob
josh
volkert,
our
special
services,
library,
specialist,
our
maintenance
worker
lamp's
hand,
lance
hampton
and
our
catalog
are
paul
herting
and
they
did
a
number
of
things
around
the
community
this
year,
including
the
display
where
we're
all
in
orange,
for
rooster
rush,
and
we
got
third
place
for
that
display.
And
then
we
also
were
involved
in
the
lighted
parade
again
and
for
the
first
time
we
were
on
display,
wonder
wonderland.
J
We
also
had
the
privilege
to
have
sarah
overvolg
design,
a
number
of
logos
for
some
of
the
programs
and
services
at
the
library
she
designed
the
kindness
box,
the
library
of
things
and
explore
america,
which
is
a
program
that
she
put
together
for
kinder
school-aged
children
grades,
one
to
four,
and
we
actually
use
a
software
that
the
state
now
uses.
It's
called
read
squared
for
all
of
our
online
reading
programs
and
they
serve
the
country
and
they
incorporated
that
explore
america
program
into
their
software
for
libraries
around
the
country
to
use.
J
We
also
had
a
lovely
new
education
animal
named
charlie,
who
is
a
bearded
dragon
if
you're
a
fan
of
bearded
dragons
come
and
see
charlie,
we'll,
let
you
a
pet
him.
If
you
want-
and
it's
really
funny,
we
have
a
lot
of
kids
and
adults
who
are
big
fans
of
charlie,
and
then
we
have
people
on
the
other
side
who
would
just
rather
him
just
hang
out
on
in
his
own
little
space
and
then
finally
I'll
mention
the
kindness
box,
which
was
also
put
together
by
our
outreach
committee,
and
that
is
a
box.
J
J
We've
had
some
growth
in
our
library
holdings.
Overall,
we
can
see
that
growth
in
e-books
and
we
had
just
a
little
bit
less
in
our
physical
books,
but
that's
okay.
We
needed
some
reading
to
go
on
in
the
collection.
That's
not
a
a
big
deal,
but
we
had
increases
in
both
the
e-books.
We
have
access
to
through
the
south
dakota
titles
to
go
collection,
which
is
a
consortium
of
libraries
around
the
state
and
then
ebooks
that
we
purchase
and
then
a
total
growth
in
the
total
of
those
two
combined.
J
Our
physical
video
also
grew
our
digital
video
remained
the
same
and
then
our
other
grew
quite
a
bit,
and
I
think
I
skimmed
over
the
library
of
things
didn't
I,
and
one
of
our
bright
spots
for
2020,
was
the
introduction
or
of
the
library
of
things,
which
is
a
collection
of
a
number
of
different
things
that
libraries
around
the
country
have
been
growing
over
the
last
couple
of
years.
So
we
kicked
our
off
our
collection
with
our
ukuleles
and
then
we
added
lawn
games.
J
We
added,
let
me
see
we
added
these
really
cool
nature
pack,
backpacks
for
kids
and
adults.
We
have
south
dakota
state
park
passes,
we
have
a
pass
to
the
bramble
park
zoo
and
then
we
also
have
our
wi-fi
hotspots
that
we
received
through
a
karzak
grant
funding.
So
we
can
see
there
was
a
big
jump
in
that
collection,
even
though
it's
still
one
of
our
smaller
collections,
we
have
had
a
lot
of
patrons
enjoying
those,
and
we
have
some
recent
additions
to
those
that
include
baking,
pans
and
steel
tongue.
J
J
So
if
we
move
to
our
electric
collections,
they're
about
the
same
for
our
electronic
collections,
excuse
me
for
both
ourselves
and
for
the
state.
The
big
addition
to
us
is,
as
I
mentioned
before,
america's
news,
which
contains
3000
plus
newspapers
from
around
the
us,
as
well
as
an
image
edition
of
the
public
opinion.
J
J
Here's
a
bright
spot.
If
we
move
on
to
our
electronic
materials,
we
saw
continued
growth
in
2020,
so
we
were
up
five
percent
from
last
year
and
22
from
2018..
So
we've
been
seeing
continued
growth
of
this
over
the
last
five
six
years.
I
think
we
will
continue
to
see
this
growth.
It's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
request
for
more
money
for
electronic
materials.
J
Again
on
the
same
line
as
our
electronic
collections,
our
database
usage
has
continued
to
grow
as
well.
So
overall
it
was
about
five
percent
increase
from
last
year,
and
specifically,
we
had
a
14
increase
of
the
database
usage
that
our
databases,
our
library
purchases
I've
mentioned
a
few
times
now.
J
I
know
I
use
it
quite
a
bit
so
when
we
get
to
our
total
collection
use,
we
are
looking
about
24
less
than
we
had
in
the
previous
year,
and
then
they
always
ask
what
percentage
your
of
your
collection
is.
Children's
materials,
and
so
this
year
it
was
about
29
of
our
usage
was
children,
materials
and
that's
down
from
32
percent
the
year
before.
J
When
libraries
were
first
closing
and
we're
all
reacting
to
the
pandemic,
there
is
a
lot
of
questions
about
what
does
it
mean
to
have
a
library
program
online,
and
so
they
eventually
gave
us
some
guidance
about
what
we
could.
We
would
be
able
to
count
on
what
we
wouldn't
be
able
to
count
so
for
the
purposes
of
imls,
only
live
and
virtual
programming
was
going
to
be,
counting
is
going
to
be
counted
and
when
I
say
virtual
in
this
case,
it
actually
means
that
you
are
streaming
the
video
or
hosting
the
program
on
discord.
J
But
we
did
add
in
all
of
the
types
of
programs
like
I
said,
we
did
also
have
the
recorded
and
the
passive
programs
and
our
passive
programs
were
for
children
included
a
lot
of
craft
or
activity
kits,
and
they
were
incredibly
popular.
We
gave
out
about
3
500
of
them
in
2020.,
so
this
is
going
to
be
one
of
the
things
that
we
continue
to
evaluate
what
type
of
investment
are
we
going
to
make
in
activities
like
this,
that
are
that
enrich
the
public,
especially
working
families,
for
example?
J
This,
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
me
on
the
video,
but
this
is
the
craft
kit
for
this
week.
It
is
a
four
leaf,
clover
lacing
craft.
So
this
is
an
activity
that
encourages
fine
motor
skills
in
young
children.
It's
already
prepped
and
ready
to
go
for
all
the
busy
parents
out
there
that
have
no
time
to
make
this.
They
have
been
incredibly
popular
and
we've
also
been
distributing
them
to
local
child
care
centers.
J
We
had
great
news
for
our
adult
and
young
adult
program.
Most
of
most
of
those
programs
fell
into
the
live
or
live
virtual
category,
and
I
mentioned
both
maria
and
jamie
earlier
won
an
award
for
their
use
of
discord.
There
was
a
lot
of
interest
in
it
and
it
was
there.
I
don't.
Has
anybody
use
discord
thanks,
michael
from
an
administrator's
perspective,
there's
a
lot
of
ways
that
you
can
secure
it
and
make
it
safe
for
your
audience.
J
There
are
a
lot
of
different
permissions
and
rules
you
can
enable,
and
that
was
really
important
for
our
team
community.
When
we
have
online
team
programs,
we
know
for
sure
that,
as
only
teens
that
are
in
that
room
and
are
interacting
with
other
teens,
so
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
were
taken
into
account
before
using
that,
but
it
was
used
for
book
clubs,
game
nights.
We
had
the
one
book
south
dakota
author
visit
through
discord,
and
then
we
also
had
a
few
live
events.
J
Typically,
we
would
have
our
crocheting
group,
our
coloring
group,
our
gaming
group
for
teens,
so
we
were
able
to
do
some
of
those
things
before
the
pandemic
hit,
and
then
we
also
held
a
few
outdoor
events.
One
of
them
was
a
really
cool
archery
event
that
we
partnered
with
the
south
dakota
game,
fish
and
parks
on,
and
then
we
also
had
virtual
reality
gaming,
and
we
did
that
indoors
because
we
could
have
social
distancing
in
place.
J
J
We
did
have
a
few
recorded
programs
for
adults
and
some
activity
or
craft
kits
as
well.
We
had
crochet
kits,
we
had
tackle
crafting
kits,
we
had,
I
did
a
recycled
book
tree
that
was
fun,
and
then
we
had
a
number
of
recorded
programs
that
aligned
to
those
kits
as
well
as
how
to
use
library
resources,
and
then
we
had
one
that
was
a
a
recorded
tour
of
lake
compesca,
so
that
was
shared
around
some
other
watertown
facebook
and
things
like
that.
J
J
Our
summer
reading
program
is
probably
the
biggest
most
successful
program
that
we
offer
and
we
could
not
even
offer
a
microcosm
of
what
we
usually
do.
So
we
know
these
numbers
are
going
to
go
up.
We
know
they're
we're
going
to
get
back
to
where
we
were
before
it's
just
kind
of
it's
just
kind
of
sad
to
see,
especially
when
you've
been
developing
so
many
things
we
did
have
a
bright
spot,
though,
with
our
one-to-one
programs,
we
saw
105
increase
there,
because
now
our
special
services
deliveries
and
our
child
care
service
delivery.
J
Our
deliveries
are
included
in
that
number,
as
well
as
all
of
our
curbside
stat
statistics
were
included
that
so
that
was
the
there
were
3
335
patrons
who
came
to
the
library
curb
side
and
were
and
checked
out
materials,
and
we
are
continuing
to
do
that
service
right
now.
We
have
about
maybe
10
a
week
who
are
choosing
to
do
that,
and
that's
not
a
strain
on
our
staff
to
continue
at
all.
J
We
saw
a
decrease
in
our
number
of
computers,
but
it's
a
we
kind
of
had
some
older
laptops
that
were
decommissioned.
If
you
will
and
then
we
have
a
number,
we
had
about
four
computers
that
we
were
going
to
be
adding
and
then
kovid
kind
of
put
the
brakes
on
those.
Our
number
of
internet
sessions
in
the
library
went
down,
but
then
we
did
have
an
increase
in
our
annual
wireless
sessions
by
about
four
percent,
so
we
had
some
some
good
news
there
other
bad
news.
J
J
Even
after
we
reopened
a
lot
of
libraries,
weren't
open
or
if
they
were
open,
they
were
not
interlibrary
loaning
any
materials.
There
are
still
libraries
around
the
country
that
are
not
open
to
the
public,
and
so
there's
less
lending
that's
happening,
and
I
think
we'll
just
have
to
see
how
that
progresses
and
we'll
continue
to
right.
Now
we
are
loaning
and
we'll
continue
to
do
so.
J
Our
special
services
was
probably
the
first
area
of
our
services
that
was
impacted
by
covid,
because
a
number
of
well
really
all
of
the
senior
care
facilities,
closed
their
doors
and
locked
down,
and
so
the
result
there
was.
We
had
a
36
decrease
in
deliveries
and
a
34
decrease
in
the
items
that
were
delivered.
J
It
also
impacted
our
child
care
delivery
service.
There
were
about
five
months
when
there
was
kind
of
a
hiatus,
and
although
some
of
the
care
centers
did
choose
to
get
items
through
our
curbside
service,
we
have
a
couple
of
them
that
we're
still
utilizing
that.
So
that's
a
really
quick
rundown
of
a
lot
of
data,
but
that's
everything
I
had.
If
you
wanted
to
see
more
data
comparison,
there's
a
page
245
in
your
agenda
packet.
J
J
You
can
also
find
the
public
libraries
data
data
digest.
Excuse
me,
the
state
library
has
this
a
breakdown
of
all
of
the
libraries
in
the
state
and
the
services
they
offer.
They
have
about
six
or
seven
years
on
their
website.
I'm
happy
to
email
out
some
links
with
this
information
as
well
as
the
imls.
J
You
can
spend
a
lot
of
time
there
mining
data,
and
I
did
a
little
bit
of
that
for
you
and
I'll
send
that
along
as
well.
The
latest
data
they
have
is
from
2018
and
you
can
compare
all
the
libraries
in
the
state
all
the
libraries
similar
size.
There
are
lots
of
different
ways
you
can,
like
I
said
mine
that
data,
so
I
can
share
that
with
you
as
well.
J
J
J
Coming
up
is
our
friends
of
the
library
book
sale
has
been
moved
to
september,
it'll,
be
the
10th
11th
and
12th
and
it'll
be
at
the
codington
county
extension
building
for
the
first
time,
they're
really
excited
about
using
that
and
speaking
of
excitement,
we're
excited
about
adding
to
our
library
of
things
with
our
bike
lending
program
and
we
have
to
say
huge.
Thank
you
to
the
watertown
area
community
foundation,
as
well
as
the
xl
energy.
Sorry,
I
keep
wanting
to
say
the
xcel
energy
center
and
it's
xcel
energy.
J
Apparently
I
just
want
to
go
to
a
hockey
game,
but
also
dustin
lindner
at
the
bike
shop
here
in
town
and
tk,
of
course,
and
the
city
of
watertown's
park.
Recreation
and
forestry
department,
this
program
is
going
to
now
enable
patrons
to
come
and
check
out
a
key
and
a
bike
helmet
at
the
library
and
go
get
a
bike
to
ride
at
city
park.
J
That
starts
around
the
police
station
and
hopefully
they
can
get
off
on
the
trail
and
just
enjoy
the
nature
and
the
beautiful
trails
we
have
here
in
town
and
then
here
I
have
some
pictures
about
some
of
our
events
that
we
did
manage
to
have
through
the
year.
Some
of
them
were
when
we
were
still
doing
live
in
person,
programs
with
story
time
and
our
knitting
and
crochet
group
and
our
team
gaming.
J
Others
are
ways
that
we've
modified
things
on
the
far
left.
We
have
a
little
one
enjoying
one
of
our
new
enhancements
to
our
play
space.
We
have
a
little
rainbow
walk.
I
invite
you
all
to
come
down
and
join
the
rainbow
walk
here.
We
have
our
children's
librarian
specialist,
I'm
sorry
there.
We
can
see
it.
J
Fish
and
parks
brought
all
this
equipment
and
we
were
able
to
bring
people
in
who
are
interested
in
it,
and
we
found
out
that
one
of
our
library
staff
was
kind
of
an
archery
shark.
I
don't
know
if
that's
a
term,
but
that's
what
she
was
really
really
good.
I
who
knew
I
found
out
that
I
was
really
bad
at
archery,
so
that's
about
all
I
have
so.
If
you
have
any
questions,
please
let
me
know.
Hopefully
I
have
some
answers
for
you.
If
I
don't,
I
can
always
email
something.
F
I
don't
know
that
it's
necessarily
a
question,
but
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
guys
for
everything
that
you
did
throughout
the
whole
pandemic.
I
mean
talk
about
having
to
pivot
and
just
adapt
and
make
it
work.
You
guys
did
a
great
job
with
all
of
it.
With
everything
considered,
I
know
a
great
home
for
that
craft.
If
you
end
up
leaving
that
behind.
F
Otherwise,
I
just
want
to
encourage
people
take
advantage
of
our
library.
It
is
so
extensive.
There
are
so
many
assets
available,
and
this
is
one
of
those
great
public
amenities
that
cost
almost
next
to
nothing,
and
you
can
do
so
many
things
at
the
library
movie
rentals.
If
that's
your
your
thing
books.
Of
course,
the
online
stuff
is
really
easy.
You
have
access
to
things
like
lynda.com,
so
if
you
guys
want
to
learn
how
to
use
discord,
you
could
do
that.
You
can
also
learn
photoshop
and
all
sorts
of
other
things
for
free.
J
I
understand
what
you're
asking
and,
to
be
honest,
I
a
number
of
libraries
lost
staff
through
this
staff
were
furloughed
and
we
kept
going
and
we
kept
offering
services
and
even
though
it
wasn't
the
same
level
because
of
restrictions
to
the
pandemic,
we
found
ways
to
adapt
and
keep
going.
I
think
other
communities
have
done
the
same
thing,
but
I
think
it's
really
up
to
the
leadership
in
this
room.
Who
said
we
are
going
to
keep
going.
J
There
are
a
lot
of
decisions
that
needed
to
be
made
in
this
room.
You
all
know,
I
don't
don't
mean
to
preach
to
the
choir
that
that
salvaged,
not
just
our
department
but
other
departments
as
well,
and
it
was
wonderful
news
to
hear
from
sarah
last
meeting
that
things
weren't
as
bad
as
we
thought
they
were
going
to
be.
You
know
I
mean
so
I'm
hoping
that
we
won't
have
negative
repercussions
like
that,
because
our
staff
kept
busy
the
entire
time
we
kept
working
the
entire
time.
J
At
some
points
we
had
folks
working
from
home
other
times.
We
have
we've
had
everybody
in
the
building
really
since
july,
and
the
move
that
you
all
took
in
january
for
that
relief
payment
was
definitely
appreciated
by
the
city
staff.
It
has
been
stressful
and
we
appreciate
very
much
that
it
was
recognized.
K
Mayor
I'm
the
liaison
for
that
group,
and
I
have
really
appreciated
all
of
the
different
ideas
and
things
that
they
have
been
trying
to
do
to
keep
our
library
open,
trying
to
keep
it
safe
for
the
people
working
there
and
also
safe
for
the
community
and
yet
being
able
to
make
all
these
books
and
different
resources
available.
So
I
think
that
we
probably
don't
realize
how
much
effort
it
takes
to
do
things
a
lot
differently
than
the
normal.
So
but
dede,
I
have
a
question.
K
K
J
Yeah,
we'll
definitely
be
monitoring
it
from
what
I've
read
so
far.
Every
state
should
really
receive
at
least
two
million
dollars
and
then
it'll
scale
depending
on
population,
so
I'm
guessing.
That
would
be
the
amount
that
south
dakota
would
receive,
and
I
don't
know
who
is
making
the
decisions
in
terms
of
the
criteria,
but
our
state,
librarian,
daria
bossman,
has
been
very
active
throughout
this
whole
time
to
communicate
with
the
libraries
what
opportunities
were
available
like
the
cares
act,
grant
funding
that
we
got
for
the
hot
spots
and
coming
soon
the
tablets.
A
Okay,
the
next
item
on
the
agenda:
councilman
hoyer,
picking
up
a
little
packet
from
the
library
to
keep
someone
busy
item
k
is
consent
to
assignment
of
the
watertown
development
company's
interest
in
the
tax
increment
revenue
generated
by
tif
district
number
12
to
the
first
premier
bank,
a
motion
by
vilhauer
and
a
second
by
holine,
and
I
will
ask
the
city
attorney
matt
roby,
to
tell
us
about
this.
One.
A
C
The
original
approval
of
that
had
to
be
essentially
redone
because
of
a
legal
description
issue,
but
besides
that,
the
both
both
approvals
contemplated
that
the
wdc
would
be
the
assignee
that
they
would
receive
those
increment
payments
because
they
assisted
with
funding
that
tax
increment
district
on
the
front
end,
and
now
they
have
secured
financing
for
for
their
funding
commitment
with
first
premier
bank,
and
so
what
this
action
here
does.
Essentially
just
is
the
city
consenting
to
wdc,
assigning
it
interests
over
to
first
premier
bank
for
collateral.
C
A
Anyone
else
all
right
hello
for
action,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye
aye.
Then
you
want
to
post
signify
by
saying
nay
motion
carries
item.
L
is
approval
of
the
a
review
of
the
continued
necessity
of
resolution
number
20-15
declaring
an
emergency
concerning
the
pandemic
outbreak
of
the
novel,
coronavirus,
coveted
19
and
providing
for
responsive
measures
related
to
the
operations
of
the
city
and
the
protection
of
public
health,
and
we
put
this
on
the
agenda
every
meeting
just
to
review
and
see
if
we
anyone
desires
to
make
any
changes
to
it.
A
Only
the
the
mask
part
of
it,
where
we're
requiring
people
to
wear
a
mask
when
they're
less
than
six
feet
away
from
someone
with
whom
they
don't
reside.
That
part
ends,
but
the
rest
of
the
resolution
correct
me.
If
I'm
wrong
matt,
I
think
we
have
to
take
action
for
the
rest
of
it
to
end.
Is
that
true.
A
Okay
and
we'll
move
on
item
which
was
item
I
on
the
consent
agenda
is
next
and
that
is
approval
of
a
temporary
construction
easement
for
the
installation
of
culverts
for
the
future
construction
of
28th
street
northeast
located
in
the
lakes
of
willow,
creek
first
edition
to
be
installed
by
j
j
earthworks
llc
have
a
motion
by
holine
in
a
second
by
lollum
and
I'll.
Ask
the
public
works
director
city
engineer,
heath
von.
I
too
tell
us
about
it.
Please.
I
I
The
work
that
they're
wanting
to
perform
is
actually
on
city
property,
on
the
north
side
of
will
creek
drive,
and
that
is
what
necessitates
the
need
for
a
temporary
construction
easement,
at
least
from
a
staff
standpoint.
That's
what
we
felt
was
appropriate
of
an
appropriate
conduit
for
them
in
order
to
them
to
proceed
with
this
construction.
I
The
development,
the
subdivision
improvements
in
general
when
you
talk
about
the
roads,
the
water,
the
sewer,
the
storm
sewer,
these
culverts
and
the
rest
of
the
subdivision
improvements.
Those
have
been
reviewed
on
a
preliminary
plan
level
and
approved
through
a
preliminary
plan
process
and
they've
subsequently
been
reviewed
specifically
for
this
work
on
a
construction
plan
level
and
the
engineering
office
is
comfortable
with
proceeding
with
the
construction
of
these
culverts,
based
on
a
review
of
the
construction
plans
related
to
this
work.
A
G
Well,
currently,
the
water
level
level
is
low
enough
that
we
wouldn't
have
to
de-water
it.
We
don't
think
anyway.
Is
it
dry
once
it
is
pretty
dry
out
there
right
now,
with
this
recent
snow
and
precipitation,
there
might
be
some
flow
that
we
have
to
deal
with
a
little
extra,
though
I
guess
we
weren't
anticipating,
but
we
yeah,
we'll
we'll
make
sure
erosion
control
is
in
place,
whether
that
be
a
floating
soap
fence.
A
Okay-
and
I
know
you
know
this-
but
for
the
council's
edification-
that
when
a
developer
is
disturbing
land,
they
have
to
submit
what's
called
a
notice
of
intent
to
the
department
of
environment
and
natural
resources,
and
the
denr
requires
the
city
to
make
sure
that
their
erosion
controls
are
adequate.
But
it's
the
state
that
gives
them
the
permit
and
with
the
application,
is
a
promise
by
the
the
permit
holder
that
they
will
do
additional
measures,
if
necessary,
to
prevent
erosion
and
sedimentation
downstream.
A
G
G
I
I
the
lakes
at
willow.
Creek
is
generally
this
larger
subdivision
here
on
the
north
side
of
willow,
creek
drive,
the
specific
location
is
right
here
on
city
property.
You
can
see
the
what
was
the
prior
right-of-way
alignment.
It
was
proposed
from
the
previous
subdivision
owner.
It's
a
it's
similar
right
away:
alignment
that's
being
proposed
with
the
new
subdivision
in
that
the
culverts
would
have
to
be
installed
through
this
portion
of
the
of
the
waterway,
which
is
on
city
property.
F
I'm
sure
there's
probably
a
good
answer
for
it,
but
is
there
a
reason
it
has
to
go
at
a
curve
like
this
through
that
area,
as
it's
just
the
best
land
that
kind
of
do
this.
I
know
that
there's
water
and
everything,
but
I
don't
know
I
get
a
little
nervous
putting
stuff
in
between
bodies
of
water,
but
just
instead
of
doing
a
straight
shot
somewhere.
I
kind
of
like
our
grittedness
in
our
community,
but
I'm
just
curious
what
the
history
is
on
this,
that
not.
G
F
G
I
So,
and
just
to
expand
on
that
for
clarity
in
the
in
the
process
here,
the
developer,
its
staff's
assumption
is
that
they
will
be
coming
forth
for
a
full
permit
to
construct
for
this
entire
phase
of
subdivision
improvements,
and
that,
then,
would
require
the
the
development
agreement
would
be
executed
at
that
time.
These
culverts
could
be
part
of
that
development
agreement,
because
they're
essentially
going
to
be
accepted
with
the
rest
of
the
public
infrastructure.
As
it's
installed
and
completed,
we
would
perform
all
the
inspection
and
close
out
processes.
I
G
Absolutely
thank
you,
heath,
and
I
also
want
to
point
out
that
there
is
going
to
be
the
standard
warranty
period.
This
is
it's
probably
going
to
be
a
little
bit
longer
than
normal,
actually
because
we're
doing
this
ahead
of
the
street
or
construction,
not
reconstruction,
but
so
once
this
is
all
deeded
to
the
city,
then
that
warranty
period
will
still
be
in
effect
for
one
year
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
that
is
correct.
Right,
mayor.
A
And
I
would
assume
that
the
public
improvements
will
be
requested
to
be
taken
over
by
the
city
at
the
time
of
planning
when
you
you've
got
everything
approved
and
construction
drawings.
Normally
our
normal
process
would
be.
You
do
a
preliminary
plan
that
was
approved
two
years
ago
or
so
is
that
correct?
Yes,
and
then
you
do
a
plat
and
concurrent
with
the
plat.
A
You
do
the
construction,
drawing
approval
and
begin
the
do
a
development
agreement
which
goes
with
the
plat
and
they
make
some
obligations
in
there
to
do
it
in
certain
terms,
we're
not
doing
any
of
that
we're
kind
of
jumping
out
of
order
a
little
bit.
But
it's
I
get
your
point
with
the
water
and
the
water
level
is
unpredictable.
It's
low
now
you're
trying
to
take
advantage
of
that,
but
it
what
it
does
is
if
they
haven't
signed
a
development
agreement,
yet
they
normally
have
two
years
to
get
everything
built
if
they
signed
it.
A
F
G
F
Well,
I
guess
I
just
kind
of
want
to
see
what
the
water
water's
looking
like
around
that
we've,
just
we've
developed
in
this
part
of
town
before
and
kind
of
had
some
buyer's
remorse,
I'm
not
necessarily
against
it.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
kind
of
image
wise
we're
understanding
where
we're
building
and
what
measures
are
being
taken
to
mitigate
this,
just
because,
with
all
the
water
that's
up
there
and
as
we're
looking
at
it
makes
me
feel
like
this
is
a
traditionally
wet
area.
I
Yeah
so
michael
great
questions,
councilman
hoyer,
this
is
the
floodplain
representation
on
our
mapping.
I
I
won't
zoom
in
because
it'll
raise
havoc
here,
but
specifically
we're
talking
right
here
again
with
the
culvert
installation.
The
red
here
would
be
the
the
hundred
year
flood
plain
area.
The
blue
would
be
the
500
year
event
as
far
as
inundation
goes
in
in
a
major
event.
I
Again
this
this
alignment
in
orange
that
you
see
that's
the
old
alignment,
the
new
one's
fairly
close,
so
you
could
use
it
as
a
as
a
comparable
alignment
for
the
new
right-of-way
and-
and
that's
that's
generally
speaking,
how
how
that
road
will
be
installed,
and
I
will
pull
up
this
pdf
excuse
me.
It
was
actually.
A
G
I
believe,
from
last
time
I
looked
at
it.
The
road
will
be
elevated
to
be
out
of
the
flood
plain,
mostly
because
we
during
a
hundred
year
event,
we
can't
a
road
blockage
and
if
I
think
that
was
discussed
with
the
fire
department
actually,
while
I
was
still
with
the
city,
if
I
and
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong
heath,
but
I
that
was
all
part
of
the
discussion
previously.
I
Yeah
you're,
correct,
colin
and
colin
from
austin
engineering,
colin
de
young,
I
believe,
is
also
in
line
with
us.
If
I
remember,
if
I
heard
accurately
the
designed
by
austin
engineering
as
we
get
into
the
specific
construction
plans
for
this
first
phase,
this
is
a
map
that
kind
of
shows
the
first
phase
of
construction,
which
is
generally
this
yellow
shaded
area.
I
When
we
reveal
those
construction
plans,
that's
when
we
would
look
at
specifically
what
level
grown
inundation
during
a
major
storm
event
to
what
degree
that
would
occur
and
we'd
check
all
that
off.
According
to
the
engineering
design
standards
and
the
tolerances
that
are
allowed
for
road
inundation
in
a
major
storm
event.
I
So
you
can
see
there
will
be
a
great
number
of
lots
here
that
are
that
would
be
in
in
the
flood
plain,
which
is
okay.
As
long
as
you
know,
the
appropriate
amount
of
fill
and
construction
methods
are
followed,
and
we
of
course
review
all
those
in
detail
as
well
to
make
sure
that
those
rules
are
followed.
F
G
I
I
would
point
out
too
to
that:
no,
if
the
council
were
to
prove
this
temporary
construction,
easement
staff
have
a
couple
of
things
that
we
still
need
checked
off
on
with
the
construction
plans
related
to
these
culverts.
There's
there's
some
minor
comments,
but
still
some
comments
we
need
addressed
and
then
the
corps
of
engineers
check
off
as
well.
I
A
I
A
G
A
A
A
A
So
taking
material
from
one
location
to
another
location
is
considered
mining
by
the
state
definition.
So
we
applied
for
a
mining
license
and
received
it.
We
never
did
use
it
for
that
purpose
or
any
purpose.
We
didn't
do
any
mining
there
and
the
permit
is
expiring.
So
renewing
the
permit
will
just
give
us
that
option
in
the
future.
If
we
ever
wanted
to
use
that
material
and
there's
no
intention
that
we
would
do
any
of
the
mining
type
activities
that
are
bothersome
like
crushing
and
you
know
making
noise
and
mess.
A
A
I
A
D
A
A
K
A
Anyone
opposed
signify
by
saying,
nay,
motion
carries
and
then
another
item
that
I
would
like
to
bring
up
is
old
business.
I
think
that
the
city
engineer
mentioned
that
our
assistant
city
engineer,
justin
peterson,
was
going
to
take
the
exam
to
for
certification
as
a
floodplain
manager,
and
he
passed
so
he's
now.
A
certified
floodplain
manager
so
way
to
go
justin
he's
online,
so
you
can.
You
can
clap
for
him.
I
A
B
Excuse
me,
I'm
still
here
again,
congratulations
to
justin
and
I
do
like
this
new
setup
where
I
can
see
more
of
who
is
talking
in
the
council
chambers.
I
received
a
text
message
from
bonnie
blind
today
in
regards
to
21st
street
southwest.
That's
the
gravel
road
or
the
unpaved
road
up
by
evolution,
power,
sports
and
we've
talked
about
it
a
lot
and
she
just
wanted
to
know
where
we
were
at
with
it
and
what
if
any
actions
were
being
taken-
and
I
told
her
I
would
bring
it
up
under
old
business.
I
Certainly
mayor,
we
have
been
in
recent
communications
with
well
I'll
back
up
one
step,
you
know:
we've,
we
do
have
the
gravel
roads
committee
that
hasn't
reconvened
yet
in
the
recent
past,
but
we
aim
to
do
so
here
in
the
near
future.
That's
still
on
our
radar
to
keep
that
discussion.
Moving
with
the
gravel
roads
committee,
which
included
a
couple
few
of
the
council
members
and
some
city
staff.
I
Aside
from
that
discussion,
we've
recently
had
discussions
with
potential
development
along
21st
street.
In
this
location,
that's
of
concern,
property
owners
on
the
west
would
like
to
expand,
and
and
in
order
to
issue,
building
permit
the
necessity
for
this
road
to
be
paved
and
built
out
was
discussed
with
them.
The
property
owners
to
the
east
on
the
east
side
of
this
roadway
are
all
have
also
been
brought
into
those
discussions,
and
that's
essentially
where
it's
at
the
the
ball
is
necessarily
in
their
court
to.
K
I
I
wouldn't
say
that
councilman
albertson,
I
know
one
of
the
one
of
your
constituents
or
one
of
the
owners
in
that
area
have
contacted
councilman
albertson
as
well.
Staff
is
also
working
with
the
property
owners
and
would
be
glad
to
continue
to
follow
up
with
them
and
try
to
get
something
scheduled
at
their
convenience.
K
Because
the
one
owner
is
supposed
and
not
supposedly,
is
going
to
be
returning
back
from
winter
wintering
down
in
arizona
and
is
willing
and
wanting
to
meet
or
did
anyway.
So
I
didn't
know
if
you
were
waiting
for
me
to
set
that
up,
because
I
have
had
contact
with
him
and
he
was
supposed
to
been
here
now,
but
he's
not
here
yet,
and
so
I
don't
know
where
that
is.
But
if
it's
something
that
I
should
help
with,
let
me
know.
I
K
B
B
What
it
takes
like
right
now
today,
it's
awful
so
he's
talked
about
what
it
takes
to
maintain
that
road
right
now
too,
so
I
think
the
faster
we
could
get
all
this
moving
would
probably
be
for
both
the
gentleman
that
dan
to
express
his
concern
to
dan
and
then
the
folks
down
there
that
live
there
and
drive
that
every
day
have
expressed
to
me.
So
it
sounds
like
we're
circling
around
into
something
that
may
be
a
solution.
H
H
Councilman
lollum,
villauer,
roby
and
bruce
buehler
has
been
sitting
in
as
the
parks
and
rec
liaison,
and
I
am
happy
to
report
that
we
will
be
bringing
a
proposal
forward
in
the
very
near
future.
The
mayor
has
graciously
spent
a
lot
of
time.
The
last
couple
weeks,
talking
with
us,
we're
hammering
out
a
hammering
out
a
plan
that
I
think
all
of
us
are
behind,
and
I
have
asked
the
mayor
and
the
mayor
has
agreed
to
that.
H
It's
been
long
overdue
for
the
city
of
watertown.
There's
some
explanation:
that's
going
to
be
behind
it
because
there's
going
to
be
a
lot
of
people
who
have
questions,
and
we
will
want
to
invite
all
of
the
public
there,
because
the
council,
the
committee,
has
been
hard
at
work
for
a
long
time
for
several
months,
and
part
of
that
is,
is
because
we
needed
to
know
that
we
had
an
answer
for
pretty
much
any
conceivable
question
that
we
could
think
would
be
asked
like.
Why
isn't
it
here?
Why
did
you
do
it
this
way?
H
Why
are
you
financing
it
this
way?
And
so
we
have
answers
for
those,
and
we
have
a
proposal
that
I'm
excited
about.
The
entire
committee
is
uni
unanimously
in
support
of
and
the
mayor,
and
I
have
talked
about
it
and
I
think
we
are
in
support
of
it
as
well
and
it'll,
be
great
news
for
watertown
date
to
be
determined
just
to
make
sure
that
we
want
a
few
people
that
are
going
to
be
integral
to
the
construction,
the
maintenance,
the
ongoing
operations
of
the
ice
arena.
H
We
want
them
to
be
here
at
the
unveiling
as
well,
because
if
it's,
the
one
thing
that
we've
heard
from
the
public
is
not
only
do
it,
but
do
it
right
and
part
of
that
is
to
know
that
we
have
a
plan
not
only
for
the
construction
but
for
the
ongoing
maintenance
and
operations
of
it
as
well.
So
it'll
be
great
news
for
watertown.
Hopefully
we
invite
everyone
to
pay
attention.
Come
forward,
bring
your
questions.
H
D
I've
got
a
report
from
our
municipal
utility
manager,
steve
laner,
there's
a
special
board
meeting
that
they
had
last
friday
and
I
was
not
able
to
attend,
but
he
did
pass
on
an
email
to
me
that
he,
I
think,
he'd
appreciate.
If
I
share
to
the
community,
our
utilities
buys
our
electric
power
from
missouri
missouri
river
energy
services
and
they
had
a
significant
rebate
that
they
sent
to
back
to
their
customers,
of
which
we
are
one
of
them.
D
Obviously,
here
last
year
that
the
board
decided
or
discussed
what
to
do
with
that
rebate,
watertown
sheriff
I'm
understanding.
The
information
correctly
was
about
a
million
five
hundred,
and
fifty
thousand
was
what
watertown
or
our
utility
department
got
back
from
mres,
and
what
the
board
decided
at
their
special
meeting
last
friday
was
that
they
would
grant
a
credit
of
120
dollars
for
our
residential
and
small
commercial
electric
customers.
D
F
A
Right,
thank
you
any
other
liaison
member
reports.
Okay,
announcements
are
next
and
I
have
one
announcement.
The
veteran
vietnam
veterans
association,
chapter
1054
will
be
inducted
into
the
south
dakota
hall
of
fame,
and
there
will
be
a
special
ceremony
for
that
on
the
middle
of
april
at
latc,
so
be
looking
for
that.
I
don't
know
if
you're
aware,
but
watertown
south
dakota
has
one
of
the
most
active
and
wonderful
vietnam,
vet
associations
in
the
country
right
here
and
they're
they're
being
inducted
into
the
south
dakota
hall
of
fame,
so
very
proud
about
that.
D
C
C
I
know
there's
a
few
that
I
popped
up
in
in
my
area,
which
is
not
what
you
want
to
see,
but
unfortunately,
hopefully
that
well
fortunately
means
hopefully
spring
is
on
its
way
in,
although
snow
twice
in
a
week,
it's
not
going
to
make
that
any
better.
But
you
know,
if
you
do
see,
potholes
make
sure
you
let
the
street
department
know
and
and
or
go
on
the
website
so
that
they
can
at
least
fill
them
with
gravel
and
try
to
mitigate
some
tire
issues
right.
A
C
F
I
would
just
toss
that
too,
while
we're
mentioning
the
potholes,
if
you
notice
and
councilman
y
kind
of
tipped
me
off
to
this
too,
but
you
can
actually
also
in
the
same
way
really
same
location
on
the
website.
You
can
report
any
like
street
lights
that
their
lights
are
out.
I
know
that
he's
bumped
into
a
bunch
he's
mentioned
while
out
delivering
his
services,
but
yeah.
A
I
Announcement
mayor,
I
was
just-
and
I
probably
should
have
done
this
under
new
business,
but
the
item
we
removed
tonight
related
to
the
airport
grant
funding.
I
was
just
going
to
give
the
council
a
heads
up
on
that
that
that
was
vetted
through
the
airport
board
last
week.
What
it
is
is
another,
roughly
million
dollars
of
coronaviru
coronavirus
response
and
relief.
Supplemental
appropriations
act,
money
that
is
coming
to
the
airport.
I
The
reason
we
pulled
it
off
tonight
and
why
I
wanted
to
mention
it
is
we
will
be
bringing
something
forward
here
in
the
near
future.
We
decided
to
redact
it
tonight
and
talk
more
in
depth
with
the
finance
officer,
the
airport
manager
myself
and
the
mayor
there's
other
options.
We
could
utilize
this
money
towards.
This
was
specifically
written
tonight
to
go
only
towards
operations
and
maintenance,
but
there
are
some
potential
for
some
capital
improvements.
We
could
also
spend
it
on
too,
but
it
has
to
be
through
a
different
form.
