all
those

say
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
with
that.
We'll
move
on
to
the
regular
agenda,
but
because
there
are
some
people
here
in
the
audience
who
would
like
to
testify
on
an
item
that
is
at
the
very
end
of
the
agenda.
A
With
that,
the
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
an
application
for
a
transfer
of
ownership
and
location
of
a
retail

A
B
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
actually
the
application
for
transfer
of
ownership.
Everything
was
noticed
for
this
hearing
and
the
application
is
in
really
no
comments.
I
do
know
that
the
applicants
are
in
the
audience.
So
if
there's
any
questions
from
the
council,
they
could
direct
them
to
the
owners.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
any
further
public
comments
seeing
none
the
chair
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
entertain
a
motion
from
the
council
moved
by
councilman
tupper
seconded
by
councilman
paulson,
for
the
approval
of
the
transfer
of
ownership
license
and
for
approval
of
item
a
so
with
that
we'll
open
it
up
for
council
questions
and
deliberations,
councilman
tupper,
you
made
the
motion.
It
is
appropriate
if
you
want
to
make
a
comment.
E
A
B
Thank
you
mayor
the
same
thing
on
this,
except
for
this
is
actually
a
new
license
other
than
that
the
notice
was
put
in
the
paper
for
the
hearing.
We
are
still
waiting
on
one
clarification.
It
does
have
the
correct
zoning,
there's
one
more
thing
that
we're
checking,
but
as
of
right
now
everything
looks
good.
So
if
we
do
find
out
that
it
doesn't,
I
would
let
the
council
know,
but
as
of
right
now,
we
think
everything's
good
to
go
with
this
one
as
well.
Thank
you.
F
A
My
councilman
paulson
seconded
by
councilman
vilhauer
councilman
paul
sent
any
comments
on
that
any
further
council
council
questions
or
comments,
seeing
none,
we'll
close
the
public,
we'll
close
council
deliberations
and
we'll
vote
on
approval,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
all
right,
hi
any
opposed
motion
carries
now.
We
will
move
on
to
items
m,
n
and
o.
G
G
G
What
that
did
is
it
gave
the
mayor
some
latitude
to
administer
certain
special
rules
related
to
coven
implications
and
how
to
manage
certain
situations
due
to
covid
within
the
realm
of
that
resolution,
20-15,
which
is
currently
still
active.
The
mayor
had
issued
some
downtown
reserve
parking
stalls
for
curbside
pickup
for
restaurant
services
in
the
downtown
district.
G
Under
this
ordinance,
it's
it's
less
specific
to
covid,
but
is
more
specific
to
general
purposes
for
loading
and
unloading
of
passengers
or
merchandise,
materials
or
vehicles
used
in
repair
of
such
a
place
of
business
or
for
parking
business.
Motor
vehicles
of
the
proprietor
of
that
said
place
of
business,
so,
whether
it's
through
the
context
of
the
current
ordinance
or
through
the
context
of
resolution
20-15,
which
gives
us
that
covid
related
latitude
cities
bring
the
city
staff,
are
bringing
this
forward
recommending
approval
for
a
limited
duration
of
12
months.
A
D
Yes,
I
do.
I
just
got
a
couple
questions
for
city
engineer
von
nye
when
they
apply
for
this.
Is
there
a
fee
and
is
it
I
mean
how
restrictive
is
it
and
at
this
time,
should
we
eliminate
the
covet
part
and
just
or
should
we
look
down
the
road
to
reset
an
ordinance
to
just
clean
this
up
a
little
bit
so
we're
not
trying
to
decide
which
which
side
we're
going
to
to
the
coved
part
of
it
or.
G
G
As
far
as
other
regulations,
we
do
ask
that
their
signing
doesn't
obstruct
the
ada
required
accessibility
for
the
sidewalk
we
require
they
keep
a
certain
width
there
for
a
pedestrian
pathway
and
other
than
that.
Both
of
these
current
permits
that
that
have
been
utilized
recently
do
have
their
own
custom-made
signing.
If
you
will
now
the
second
part
of
your
question,
I
guess
that
does
bring
up
a
larger
discussion
of
you
know
how
extensive
the
council
wants
to
get
with
allowing
on-street
parking
in
reserve
stalls
on
street
in
the
downtown
district.
G
G
I
don't
want
to
call
a
scapegoat.
A
good
reason,
due
to
the
covet
pandemic,
still
being
active
that
these
be
renewed.
I
think
that
that
gives
these
businesses
an
opportunity
to
continue
to
help
them
to
survive
and
thrive
on
the
curbside
pickup
functionality
that
they
currently
have
and
they've
had
through
2020
and
with
covid
again
on
the
uptick.
I
think
it's
a
good
reason
to
renew
these.
D
And
that's
one
of
the
reasons
I
asked
is
because
I
see
there's
down
the
road
there's
another
one,
that's
asking
for
one
that
isn't
a
restaurant
correct,
which
I
see
no
problem
with,
but
then
again
then,
where
do
we
draw
the
line?
Because
I
also
have
a
downtown
business
person.
That's
asked
me
if
they
can
apply
for
one.
C
I
guess
I'm
not
necessarily
against
these.
I
think
I
think
they're
good
for
the
businesses,
but
we
hear
over
and
over
and
over
from
downtown
business
owners
that
there's
not
enough
parking
and
now
we're
giving
two
spots
to
any
business
that
asks
specifically
for
those
businesses
which,
like
I
said,
I'm
not
against
that.
But
I,
if
we're
going
to
start
doing
this,
I
guess
downtown
business
owners.
C
Can't
can't
really
complain
that
there's
no
parking,
if,
if
this
is
the
route
we're
going,
so
I
just-
I
guess,
I'm
just
putting
it
on
record
that
there's
no
opposition
here
tonight
it
looks
like
so.
If,
if
we're
going
to
go
down
this
route
and
approve
these
year
after
year,
I
guess
I
don't
want
to
hear
from
downtown
business
owners
that
there's
no
parking
downtown,
because
I
don't
mind
walking
around
the
corner.
C
H
Thank
you,
mayor,
I'd
just
like
to
share.
You
know
this.
This
topic
garnered
quite
a
bit
of
discussion
amongst
city
staff
and
in
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
right
thing
to
do
is.
We
ultimately
recommended
approval
of
these
because
of
the
situation
that
garnered
them
in
the
first
place.
We
we
know
that
these
both
gather
and
mavericks
are
still
dealing
with
the
effects
of
covid
and,
as
it
continues
to
rise,
that
that
may
continue
to
be
an
issue.
More
people
are
using
the
carryout
option.
H
So
if,
if
someone
is
parked
there
who's
not
utilizing
one
of
those
businesses,
we
will
not
send
the
city
pd
out
to
tow
that
to
tow
that
vehicle.
So
it's
a
little
bit
of
an
honor
system
and
being
respectful
for
for
what
is
there,
so
those
spaces
are
available
to
the
public.
But,
given
the
the
current
situation,
we
felt
it
was
important
to
recommend
approval.
H
E
Just
a
little
bit
of
background,
I
a
couple
years
ago,
had
a
downtown
business
owner
asked
my
very
same
question,
and
I
ran
it
by
the
mayor
at
that
time
and
was
told
really
that
between
them
between
the
mayor
realizing,
the
council
of
the
ultimate
decision
between
the
mayor
and
the
police
department
was
not
in
favor
of
granting
it,
and
I
relayed
that
back
to
the
business
owner
which,
if
these
are
approved,
I'll,
have
to
go.
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
business
owner
and
encourage
them
to.
I
What
we
see
as
a
professional
planner
and
also
on
the
planning
commission,
is
that
you're,
seeing
trends
in
ways
that
communities
use
their
main
street
and
uptown
downtown
differently
than
they
historically
have
done
in
the
past.
And
so
I
would
say
that
if
the
planning
commission
was
to
talk
about
this,
if
you're
looking
for
some
guidance,
one
thing
that
I
would
look
at
doing
is
that
you
would
only
allow
the
specific
reservation
to
certain
types
of
businesses
that
actually
have
the
the
need
to
allow.
I
Maybe
it
has
to
do
with
food
or
something
along
those
lines
where
people
covet
has
taught
us
that
there's
different
ways
of
doing
business
in
different
ways
of
having
different
business
models
and
some
of
these
business
models
made
made
it
available
to
these
businesses,
made
them
successful
and
able
to
keep
their
head
above
water,
and
once
people
start
doing
that
again,
it's
a
small
town.
I
was
in
chicago
a
few
weeks
ago.
You
know
it's
like
you,
walk
a
block
or
two
and
and
there's
no
place
to
park
at
all.
I
But
you
still
have
ways
to
access
and
there
are
still
some
businesses
that
have
parking
in
front
of
their
place
for
a
limited
time.
So
I
don't
think
it's
a
bad
idea.
I
think
you
do
have
to
you
know,
exercise
some
some
some
caution,
but
I
think
it
might
be
a
better
idea
just
to
take
a
look
at
it
as
a
mass
and
have
a
have.
C
Would
agree
with
the
councilman
buehler
that
being
that
it's
written
with
the
under
the
the
covid
scenario
would
keep
it
at
least
some
could
potentially
keep
it
under
wraps.
You
know,
as
far
as
getting
out
of
control
I
would.
I
would
hope
that
it
falls
in
the
category
of
just
to
work
through
the
season
that
we're
in
and
then
of
course
revisit
it
someday
with
the
planning
commission
or
whoever
else.
C
E
I
guess
I
would
I
would
like
to
follow
up.
I
mean
I
appreciate
todd,
kaza's
comments.
I'd
like
to
see
our
staff
and
the
planning
commission
get
together
staff
get
together
in
this
and
make
some
recommendations
of
planning
commission
let
them
come
to
us.
Then
after
they've
had
a
chance
to
review
it
with
a
little
more
guidance
rather
than
just
carte
blanche
approving
these.
So
I'm
not
sure
what
that
means
relative
to
the
three
applications
before
us
tonight,
but
that
would
be
my
recommendation
going
forward
for
future
applications.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
You
will
note
if
you
go
to
item
o,
which
is
a
new
application
attached
to
that
is,
is
the
staff
recommendation
and
notes
which
references
resolution
2015
and
does
allow
for
the
following?
So
any
person
firm
or
corporation
desiring
to
have
any
curb
space
in
front
of
his
place
of
business
reserved
or
set
aside
for
loading
or
unloading,
passengers
or
merchandise
may
apply,
so
we
do
have
some
loose
rules
in
place.
I
appreciate
todd's
comments.
H
C
Yeah
and
thank
you
amanda
now.
Actually
that
would
actually
open
up
the
floodgates
in
theory
wanted
with,
like
you
know,
just
other
businesses
wanting
parking
for
loading
up
your
merchandise
or
whatever
else
it
may
be.
I
was
originally
I'm
looking
at.
You
know:
m
n,
looking
at
it
for
the
for
the
food
you
know
for
the,
and
that
was
kind
of
with
the
covet
thing
but
yeah
I
am.
I
guess
there
is
some
concern
on
what
this
would
open
up
all
up
and
down
camp
potentially.
A
Seeing
none
the
motion
is
to
approve
revocable,
curb
space
for
gather
coffee
on
kemp
avenue,
all
those
in
favor
of
that
motion,
please
say
aye
hi,
any
oppose,
say,
nay,
kristen.
Would
you
call
the
role?
I
don't
think
we
need
to,
though
I
mean
no
motion
carries
so
with
that.
The
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
item
n.
An
approval
for
a
revocable
curb
space
reservation
permit
for
mavericks
at
the
gas
on
kemp
avenue
for
one
year,
we'll
open
up
public
hearing
by
going
to
our
finance
officer.
Chris,
no
sorry
public
works
coordinator,
heath
von.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
This
similar
situation
here
mavericks
had
obtained
a
parking
stall,
a
reserve
parking
stall
permit
last
year
in
2020.
During
you
know,
the
coveted
pandemic
was
in
full
swing
and
restaurants
were
trying
to
get
back
up
and
running.
Running
theirs,
too,
has
admit
its
12
month.
Duration
and
they're,
seeking
a
renewal
as
well
and
a
similar
situation
staff's,
facilitating
the
application
and
again
with
this
one,
would
be
a
revocable,
but
also
only
good
for
12
month.
Duration,
we'll
stand
by
for
any
questions.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Is
there
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
testify
on
this
item,
seeing
none,
we
will
close
public
hearing
and
we
will
open
it
up
for
a
motion
from
the
council
for
approval
of
revocable
curb
space
moved
by
councilman
danforth
seconded
by
councilman
tupper
councilman
danforth.
Do
you
have
any
comments
on
that.
J
Probably
a
dung
question
there
right,
but
you
know
colin
and
glenn.
I
I
agree
with
you
guys
wholeheartedly.
I
really
do,
and
you
know
if
we
weren't
seeing
a
resurgence
of
this
covet
thing
right
now.
I'd
probably
feel
different
right
now,
but
as
we're
seeing
that
I'm
seeing
I'm
noticing
more
and
more
people
wearing
masks
again,
and
I
think
that
that's
the
kind
of
service
we
have
to
afford
these
businesses
to
have
right
now,
once
we
get
past
that,
I
think
there
has
to
be
some
real
thought
into
it.
J
I
because
I
think
in
general,
once
we're
past
covid,
I
would
I
think
that
have
to
be
a
pretty
stringent
definition
of
of
where
they're
issued
or
we're
going
to
have
problems.
We
are
going
to
have
issues
where
everybody
and
every
business
is
going
to
have
a
couple
of
them,
and
you
know
it's
just
going
to
have
signs
downtown
and
that's
what
we're
going
to
have
is
a
bunch
of
reserve
parking
spots.
So
I
do
agree.
I'm
okay
with
passing
any
one
of
these
right.
Now,
I've
seen
a
lot
of
non-uh
non-food
industry.
J
C
I'm
just
going
to
say
this,
and
this
is
more
probably
directed
at
oh,
even
though
we're
on
in
their
same
license-
and
I
know
mr
buller's
here
so
I'm
not
I'm
not
trying
to
offend
anyone,
but
I
think
my
direction
that
I
would
give
amanda
to
to
look
at
is
probably
how
many
people
are
they
serving
and
that's
again,
that's
really
hard
to
define
because
a
business
is
a
business,
but
if
we
already
have
limited
parking
downtown.
So
if
we're
just
going
to
give
two
to
every
business,
they're
going
to
be
gone,
really,
quick!
C

Thank
you
any
further
questions
or
comments,
seeing
none.
The
motion
is
to
approve
the
curb
space
for
mavericks,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
hi.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
moving
on
to
item.
Oh
approval
of
a
revocable
curb
space
reservation,
permit
for
mark
buller
on
behalf
of
needlework
sewing
center
and
pit
master
supply
on
camp
avenue
for
one
year,
we'll
open
it
up
for
public
hearing.
By
going
to
our
public
works
coordinator,
heath
von
nai.
G
G
They
have,
however,
felt
the
need
to
apply
for
reserved
on-street
parking
stalls
for
their
business.
This
particular
business
does
have
a
frequent
amount
of
loading
and
unloading
of
some
heavy
equipment
in
in
in
merchandise
if
you
will
related
to
their
place
of
business.
So
this
one,
if
I
could
share
my
screen
here
again,
quick
as
I've
underlined
in
our
staff
summary,
you
know,
probably
does
fall
under
the
context
of
the
normal
ordinance
of
chapter
19
for
the
use
of
loading
or
unloading,
passengers
or
merchandise.
G
That's
explicitly
what
the
applicant
has
indicated,
the
need
for
their
stahls
is
for,
and
so
again
staff's
recommending
approval
of
this.
This
this
application
aside,
I
will
make
a
quick,
sidebar
comment.
If
I
could
mayor
you
know
the
the
administration,
these
is
difficult
as
as
amanda
as
the
city
manager
indicated,
we
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
this
offline
among
staff
from
a
city
right
away
standpoint.
G
Yes,
if
we
have
every
business
downtown
with
their
own
private
parking
stalls,
that
creates
a
little
bit
of
a
logistical
headache
if
you
will
that
we'd
have
to
work
through
and
manage
so
that
being
said
in
my
three
years
here
and
tell
covid,
we
never
saw
these
applications
come
forward,
so
those
restaurant
ones
that
we
issued
due
to
kovid.
I
felt
just
again
as
a
city
engineer,
looking
at
it
from
a
right
away,
management
standpoint,
that's
manageable!
We
can
make
that
work.
G
It's
due
to
covet
this
one
here
in
particular
because
of
the
nature
of
the
merchandise.
I
I
just
for
my
interpretation
of
chapter
19.
I
would
say
it
fits
that
bill
as
well,
so,
if
you're
looking
for
any
objectiveness
to
it,
that's
how
I've
analyzed
it
from
my
end
and
that's
my
feedback
for
you
we'll
stand
by
for
any
questions.
A
K
So
it's
it's
kind
of
a
an
existence
issue
for
us
to
be
able
to
exist
in
a
often
referred
to
as
lack
of
parking
or
parking
problem
area
and
also
with
the
the
pellet
smokers.
We
have
40
pound
bags
of
pellets
going
out
frequently
our
volume
is
not
going
to
justify.
Like
you
know,
there
aren't
as
many
people
going
to
pick
up
40
pound
bags
of
pellets
as
there
are
16
ounce
cups
of
coffee.
Nor
you
know
a
person
can
walk
a
block
and
pick
up
a
16
ounce
cup
of
coffee.
K
But
do
you
want
to
carry
a
40
pound
bag
of
pellets,
a
block?
Probably
not?
If
you
can't
get
into
my
store
you're
going
to
keep
driving
so
it
does,
it
does
become
an
existence
issue
and
if
you
know,
we
want
to
exist
and
we've
heavily
invested
in
downtown
watertown,
or
at
least
my
particular
address.
We
have
tried
to
make
it
really
nice
from
the
what
it
used
to
be.
K
A
K
L
L
We've
talked
about
this
with
previous
administrations
and
we
haven't
had
this
issue
in
the
last
three
years,
but
I
would
also
remind
the
council
that
the
resurgence
of
downtown
and
adding
all
upwards
of
100
rental
units
and
having
no
vacant
storefronts
anymore,
really
for
the
greater
for
the
greater
part
of
it,
has
been
part
of
the
reason
that
we're
having
these
parking
issues.
So
you
know
please
take
that
into
account.
The
second
thing
is,
is
you
know
the
downtown
district
is
a
bid
district
right,
it's
an
overlay
district.
L
So
if
you're
looking
at
at
doing
rules
which
obviously
the
council
has
the
authority
to
do
all
the
rules
that
they
want,
there's
a
multitude
of
different
overlay
districts
that
carry
different
rules
and
regulations
than
other
parts
of
our
community.
I
mean
highway.
212
they're,
an
overlay
district
and
they've
got
their
own
set
of
rules
and
what
you
can
put
on
facades
and
what
you
can't
put
on
facade.
L
L
But
when
you're
talking
about
individual
businesses
downtown,
there
are
a
lot
a
number
of
downtown
businesses
that
have
been
there
a
long
time
and
there's
a
lot
of
downtown
businesses
that
are
new
to
downtown,
but
we're
all
dealing
with
the
same
population
increase
or
growth
that
we've
all
experienced
in
the
last
probably
18
to
24
months.
So
please
keep
that
in
mind
when
you're,
looking
at
promulgating
rules
and
and
putting
ordinances
in
place,
because
it's
not
a
one
size
fits
all
kind
of
demographic
downtown.
A
C
Would
thank
you
I
want
to
apologize
to
mr
buller.
I
didn't
know
all
the
facts
before
I
made
my
statement
and
I
also
want
to
rescind
my
previous
comments
on
lementine
2
based
on
customer
usage.
I
think
those
comments
that
were
just
made
were
very,
very
well
taken
and
I
should
have
known
more
facts
before
I
commented,
but
I
think
we
just
have
to
figure
out
parking
downtown
again.
D
K
Yes,
I
probably
would
okay,
I'm
actually
also
kind
of
in
fear
of
what's
going
to
happen
as
we
lose
115
spots
across
the
street,
the
pressure
is
going
to
get
greater
yeah
and
my
signs
probably
might
not
mean
much
at
that
point.
So
you
know
if
there
are
25
or
30
still
over
there.
I
think
we'd
be
in
a
lot
better
spot.
C
You
know
I
do
appreciate
your
concern,
mr
buller,
because
of
the
like,
you
say,
the
the
clientele
and
and
what
it
takes.
I
think
it
is
going
to
be
one
of
these
challenges
again
down
the
road
here
and
how
to
how
to
maneuver
through
this
sorry,
the
pudding
maneuvering
through
this
parking
scenario.
But
you
know
I
managed
diamond
vogel
paints
for
for
18
years
downtown
the
other
paint
store,
downtown
and
yeah
hauling.
You
know
3
400
pounds
of
product
to
people's
vehicles.
C
We
had
two
wheelers
and
we
had
to
just
wheel
it
down
the
street
and
get
in
their
vehicles.
It
just
is
what
it
is.
However,
that's
different
than
what
you're
talking
about
with
some
of
the
maybe
the
the
the
age
of
certain
folks
and
and
everything
and
having
the
the
park
downtown
and
that
that
coming
into
play
it
does
it
changes
things,
so
we
absolutely
as
a
as
a
council.
I
have
to
think
all
these
things
through.
So
I
really
do
appreciate
the
input
tonight
to
to
give
us
some
some
better
insight.
A
A
A
The
first
is
approval
of
resolution,
number
21-35,
initiating
annexation
of
attractive
land
contiguous
to
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota,
to
be
known
as
prairie
haven
edition
and
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-37,
establishing
the
zoning
designation
of
a1
agricultural
district
for
the
area
of
land
to
be
known
upon
annexation
as
prairie
haven
edition,
we'll
open
up
for
public
hearing.
By
going
to
our
public
works
coordinator,
heath
von
nai.
G
Thank
you
mayor.
I
do
have
a
map
here
for
reference
and
this
being
the
second
reading.
Of
course
this
has
been
before
council,
but
this
area,
that's
hatched
in
white,
is
out
along
golf
course,
road,
just
south
of
the
derby
down
subdivision
on
the
west
side
of
the
airport.
You
can
see
some
remnants
of
the
runway
here
and
the
in
the
shading
of
this
of
this
map
and
again
the
white
hatched
area
is
what's
being
proposed
to
be
annexed
and
zoned
egg
a1.
G
It
is
contiguous
to
the
city,
it
would
be
contiguous
to
the
egg
zoning
of
the
airport,
so
it
meets
all
zoning
requirements.
In
that
respect,
of
course,
the
egg
zoning
in
this
particular
manner
is
a
placeholder
zoning
until
the
developer
would
propose
a
rezone
to
support
the
subdivision
of
this
land
after
it's
annexed
with
that
we'll
stand
by
for
questions.
Community
development
manager,
stacey
bungard,
is
here
with
me
today
as
well.
A
A
A
A
Motion
made
by
councilman
tupper
seconded
by
councilman
buehler
councilman
tupper
any
comments
on
that
any
further
comments
or
questions
from
the
council
seeing
none.
The
motion
is
approval
of
the
ordinance
number
21-37,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
moving
on
to
item
d,
approval
of
resolution,
number
21-39,
adopting
the
boundaries
and
approving
the
project
plan
of
tax
increment
financing
district
number
17
within
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota
for
affordable
housing.
F
F
F
This
particular
parcel
is
expected
to
there's
expected
to
generate,
let's
see
here,
72
homes,
on
this
parcel-
and
I
see
the
developer
is
in
the
audience
tonight
if
they
wanted
to
add
any
additional
additional
color
to
the
commentary
regarding
this
development.
I
would
the
mayor
may
ask
them
to
come
up
if
he
so
chooses.
A
M
A
E
F
Mayor
councilman,
I
I
do
not
see
any
any
hurdles
so
just
to
expand
a
little
bit.
I
really
don't
see
it
any
any
different
than
any
of
the
other
tips
we've
approved.
Frankly,
it
just
so
happens
that
he
also
this
developer,
also
owns
a
building
center,
but
at
the
end
of
the
day
I
don't
see
the
the
functional
difference
between
the
previous
tiffs
in
this
tif.
E
Follow-Up,
just
I
want
to
make
a
comment.
I
had
occasion
to
sit
down
as
well
as
a
few
of
us
actually
with
the
developer
earlier
on
and
very
excited
about
what
this
could
bring
to
the
community
relative
to
affordable
housing.
So
I
I
applaud
you
for
taking
this
step
forward
and
and
good
luck
going
forward
with
it.
M
M
Let's
put
in
this
literature
for
some
reason
I've
been
avoiding
the
word
affordable.
I
prefer
to
call
it
workforce,
housing
and
my
goal
on
this
is
for
mostly
younger
people
that
are
in
the
just
beginning
or-
and
you
know,
obviously,
we've
got
a
situation
now
with
a
lot
of
rental
property
available,
but
I
think
I
want
to
address
the
fact
that
for
similar
fee
you
can
get
into
a
house
and
so
younger
family
getting
started.
M
That's
the
toughest
thing
and
we've
got
some
plans
in
here
that
help
with
down
payment,
and
things
like
that
too.
So
I
think
that
this
is
going
to
be
a
one,
a
needed
workforce,
housing
thing
and
I'm
not
really
tied
to
that
word:
affordable.
Quite
honestly,
it's
affordable
to
you
and
affordable.
Somebody
else
is
not
the
same.
E
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
you
don't
want
to
call
it
affordable,
that's
what
state
state
law
does
I
mean
this
was
specifically
brought
into
play
in
the
28
2018
legislative
session.
So
it's
not
as
though
we're
we're
inventing
something
new
here
or
trying
to
force
it
into
some
other
other
hole
in
the
tif
tiff.
M
No,
I
think,
there's
been
along
with
watertown.
I've
been
many
meetings
and
boards
and
obviously
being
on
the
council,
and
those
discussions
came
up
and
affordable
was
always
something
that
was
too
vague,
but
the
workforce
seemed
to
be
the
more
commonplace
discussion,
and
I
know
that
that's
been
some
of
the
state
comments
too
on
that
is
trying
to
work
for
that
effort.
E
D
M
A
F
If
I
may
just
add
one
piece
that
I
forgot
to
mention,
there
will
be
another
action
forthcoming
on
a
development
agreement
related
to
this
tiff.
At
this
time
the
developer
is,
is
seeking
some
program
funding
from
the
south
dakota
housing
development
authority-
and
you
know
if
that
goes
through.
That'll
that'll
mean
one
version
of
the
development
agreement.
If,
if
it
doesn't
go
through,
it
might
mean
another
version
of
the
development
agreement.
So
once
that
gets
flushed
out,
you'll
have
the
development
agreement
up
for
your
consideration.
A
Thank
you
very
much
with
that.
The
motion
is
for
the
approval
of
resolution.
21-39,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion
carries
moving
on
to
item
e,
a
second
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-13,
an
ordinance
amendment
to
chapter
5.03,
summary
of
district
regulations
of
the
revised
ordinances
of
the
city
of
watertown,
to
clarify
and
establish
street
cut
procedures
and
limitations.
G
Absolutely
thank
you
mayor.
This
is
again
an
item.
That's
familiar
to
the
council.
It's
been
through
first
reading
and
we
attempted
a
second
reading.
I
think
once
if
not
twice,
but
I
think
we've
got
it
down
now,
where
we've
circled
back
and
addressed
some
of
the
the
great
comments
through
the
discussion
that
we
had
regarding
our
street
cut
ordinance,
and
that's
really
what
this
amendment
is
doing
overall,
is
we've
got
an
existing
street
cut
ordinance
that
requires
contractors
to
get
a
permit
from
the
city
engineering
office
before
cutting
into
our
streets.
G
It
requires
their
responsibility
in
reconstructing
those
cuts
back
to
their
pre-existing
condition
or
or
better,
and
what
this
ordinance
amendment
does
is.
The
main
component
was
to
put
a
moratorium
on
cutting
into
any
new
streets
that
were
five
years
of
age
or
newer.
We
have,
in
the
recent
past,
seen,
unfortunately,
some
trench
cuts
and
cuts
made
in
our
asphalt
and
concrete
streets
that
are
fairly
new
and
it's
not
uncommon
for
communities
to
put
a
moratorium
on
cutting
into
their
new
streets.
G
Now
with
that
being
said,
there
is
an
exception
to
that
rule
where
they
can
apply
to
the
city
engineer
for
variance
to
that.
To
that
rule,
if
there's
no
other
means
or
method
or
way
to
get
done,
what
they
need
done,
if
there's
a
emergency
water
main
break
that
needs
to
be
repaired,
for
example,
we're
obviously
going
to
accommodate
that
and
work
with
the
utilities
or
their
contractor
to
make
that
work
happen.
G
G
A
A
E
I'll
direct
this
to
our
public
works
director
or
city
manager.
You
folks
are
probably
getting
tired
of
me
asking
this
question
about
a
stretch
along
south
lake
drive
some
cuts
that
have
been
made.
That's
that
was
a
new
road
I
think
three
years
ago,
maybe-
and
that
has
been
cut
into
so
many
times
since
that
time.
The
there's
four
cuts
out
there
right
now
with
would
this
have
prevented
those
cuts
from
happening
or
would
there
have
been
a
variance
approved
for
those.
G
Great
question:
councilman
philhauer,
I
I
believe
from
my
knowledge
of
at
least
a
couple
of
those
cuts
that
we
would
likely
have
issued
a
variance
to
allow
development
to
occur.
One
of
the
larger
cuts
is
related
to
some
development
to
serve
some
sanitary
sewer
to
a
property.
That's
going
to
be
developing,
so
in
that
situation
the
cut
would
likely
receive
the
variance.
I
can't
necessarily
speak
to
some
of
the
others,
but
there
have
been
recent
instances.
G
Thankfully,
our
utility
partners
over
at
watertown
municipal
utilities,
notified
the
engineering
office
of
this
because
they
receive
all
the
one
call
locate
requests
and
they
let
us
know
that
they
were
proposing
to
cut
into
our
new
concrete
alley.
When
we
found
that
out,
we
immediately
got
a
hold
of
that
utility
that
third
party
company
and
talked
to
them
and
and
facilitated
a
way
to
avoid
having
to
cut
into
that
concrete.
They
ended
up
boring
in
their
utility
line.
C
G
G
It's
it's.
It's
it's
pretty
united
to
throw
a
hard
number
at
it.
Councilman
bealer
know
if
I'd
venture
to
even
guess,
but
less
than
a
dozen
that
are
not
obtaining
a
permit,
I
would
say,
and
for
those
that
didn't
obtain
one
we
follow
up
with
them,
they're
pretty
reactive
and
responsive
to
come
in
and
get
one.
Thank
you.
C
I
want
to
address
kind
of
what
councilman
vilhar
said
too.
I
think
what
this
ordinance
would
also
do
in
the
case
of
those
three,
those
cuts
on
south
lake
drive
is
you're,
going
to
get
a
bigger
patch,
so
hopefully
you're
getting
a
better
patch
associated
with
those.
So
even
if
they're
allowed
you're
still,
I'm
you're
still
going
to
be
held
to
the
patch
requirements
in
this
ordinance.
C
J
It
seems
like
it'd,
be
simpler
and
really
more
justified
doing
that
in
regards
to
what
we
have.
We
don't
want
them
to
to
go
without
their
fee
and
it
needs
to
be
a
big
enough
one,
and
I
just
think
to
me:
it's
either
pass
fail.
Just
have
a
a
fee
for
non-compliance
for
any
of
them.
Where
you
you
do
work
without
a
permit.
D
C
H
Thank
you
mayor
if
I
recall
the
discussion,
because
it
has
been
a
while,
since
we've
talked
about
this,
the
reason
that
we
went
this
route
versus
a
flat
500,
for
example,
is
that
all
of
our
fees
probably
need
to
be
reviewed
and
and
probably
could
use
some
adjustment,
and
we
we
didn't
want
to
limit
ourselves
by
saying
the
fee
is
300,
but
if
you
raise
the
permit
fee,
you
know
to
100
bucks
you're
coming
coming
out
on
the
on
the
wrong
side
of
that.
So
that
was
that
was
the
discussion.
F
Thank
you
mayor,
just
add
a
little
bit
to
that.
So
in
our
ordinance
right
now
so
state
backing
up
a
second
state
law
gives
us
the
ability
to
essentially
classify
our
ordinances
as
class
2
misdemeanors,
which
carry
a
penalty
of
up
to
500
or
30
days
in
jail
that
that
number
used
to
be
200
and
I'm
not
sure
what
year
it
was
raised.
F
F
If
the
council
still
chooses
in
every
ordinance
and
then
b
the
so
the
reason
that
that
quadruple
language
is
put
in
there
is
because
it
equals
right
now
equals
200,
and
so
if
we
were
to
assess
a
penalty
to
somebody
and
they
refused
to
pay
the
only
recourse
we
have
is
to
go
to
court
and
then
in
court.
I
can
only
ask
for
up
to
200
right
now.
F
A
F
And
so
to
add
on
to
that
real,
quick,
the
quad,
the
quad
reason
quadruple
was
used.
Is
that
in
the
event
we
do
change
that
we
don't
have
to
come
back
and
change
this
ordinance.
It
would
just
be
quadruple
whatever
the
fee
is.
So
if
the
fee
goes
up
to
100
bucks,
then
the
penalty
is
400
bucks.
If
he
goes
up
to
125
at
the
fees
125,
the
penalty
is
500.
A
Thank
you
any
further
comments
or
questions
from
the
council
seeing
none.
The
motion
is
to
approve
the
ordinance
number
21-13.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed
motion
carries
item.
F
is
first
reading
of
ordinance
number
21-38
amending
the
zoning
map
of
the
city
of
watertown,
south
dakota
for
a
portion
of
block,
8
and
9
of
the
platte
of
valley.
View
third
edition
from
our
one
single
family,
residential
district
to
r2
single
family
attached
residential
district,
we'll
begin
councilman
paulson.
I
will
be
recusing
myself.
C
G
G
G
G
G
So
these
lots
that
are
currently
zoned
r2
will
be
extended,
a
few
feet
to
accommodate
for
twin
home
type
of
structure
design,
and
then
this
hatched
area
here
as
well
again,
will
be
rezoned
to
r2,
and
the
resubdivision
of
these
lots
would
be
on
the
plat
again
at
second
reading
of
the
rezone
again
stacy's
here
with
me
tonight.
We'd
stand
by
for
any
questions.
A
B
Thank
you
mayor.
This
looks
a
little
bit
different
than
in
years
past.
Normally,
the
property
tax
levy
is
actually
part
of
our
budget
ordinance
and,
as
we
have
changed,
our
budget
timeline
that
won't
be
approved
until
november,
but
this
requirement
is
still
has
to
be
done
prior
to
october,
1st
by
state
law.
So
what
this
is
doing
is
this
is
going
to
set
the
property
tax
levy
for
the
general
fund
at
three
million
nine
hundred
thirty
one
thousand
four
hundred
dollars
for
property
taxes
payable
in
2022..
A
B
H
B
Is
correct
in
the
property
tax
levies
in
terms
of
what
the
council
can
do,
this
would
be
the
max
that
you
could
take.
You
could
take
less
if
you
wanted
to,
but
this
is
the
max
any
time
you
want
to
increase
taxes
other
than
the
cpi,
plus
growth
would
take
that
just
a
couple
different
ways.
Thank
you.
A
Seeing
none
we'll
move
on
to
agenda
item
h.
We
have
a
slight
change
here
in
the
amount
that
is
going
to
be
requested.
So
instead
of
7
800,
it
will
read
eight
dollars,
so
the
motion
will
be
to
approve
a
request
from
the
watertown
senior
activity
center
for
a
contribution
in
the
amount
of
six
thousand.
Seventy
eight
dollars
for
temporary
wall
panels
for
the
new
community
center,
we'll
begin
the
public
hearing
by
going
to
our
city
manager,
amanda
mack,.
H
Thank
you
mayor.
This
item
comes
to
the
agenda
request
of
council
member
tupper
and
danforth
the
last
time.
The
seniors
activity
center
was
in
front
of
us.
They
had
commented
that
the
temporary
wall
panels
were
no
longer
going
to
be
a
part
of
the
construction
with
craig
properties,
and
they
are
coming
to
us
to
ask
for
those
dollars
for
the
temporary
wall
panels.
A
Thank
you.
Is
there
anyone
else
who
would
like
to
testify
on
this
saying
none
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
and
open
it
up.
First
for
council
action
for
an
approval
of
the
contribution
made
by
councilman,
danforth
and
seconded
by
councilman
buehler
councilman
danforth.
Would
you
like
to
open
up
comments?
I
would.
J
For
a
long
time,
the
the
senior
center
has
been
in
city
property
and
we've
had
certain
obligations
that
have
went
with
that
when
they're
going
to
this
new
building,
because
this
is
building
related,
is
why
I
supported
this.
I
made
a
comment
when
they
were
here
last
that
that
I
would,
I
could
see
consideration
of
this.
I
think
it's
it's
a
good
move
from
our
standpoint,
but
I
do
want
to
just
make
the
comment
that
this
in
no
way
makes
any
kind
of
an
ongoing
commitment
on
our
part.
J
D
Yeah,
we're
I'll
have
to
agree
with
everything
that
mike
just
said,
but
also
just
give
you
a
little
explanation
why
the
way
less
amount
than
what
they
originally
asked
for
original
was
just
an
estimate.
We
had
to
get
something
on
the
agenda.
They
did
finally
get
the
actual
bill
the
other
day.
So,
thank
god,
it
came
in
quite
a
bit
less,
and
I
agree
that
that
they
will.
D
You
know
when
they
take
ownership
or
not
ownership,
but
the
the
property
that
they're
going
into
with
the
lease
with
craig
properties,
which
is
only
one
dollar
a
year
for
99
years.
That
will
relieve
the
city
of
a
lot
of
responsibilities
of
the
old
building
and
also
gonna
make
way
for
some
new
construction
downtown.
So
I
totally
do
support
this.
E
C
C
A
Any
further
comments
seeing
none
the
motion
is
to
approve
a
contribution
of
six
thousand.
Seventy
eight
dollars
to
the
watertown
senior
activity
center,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
any
opposed
motion
carries
item.
I
is
authorization
for
the
city
manager
to
sign
the
financial
assistant,
assistance
agreement
and
assurances
of
compliance
with
title
vi
of
the
civil
rights
act
to
register
the
city
of
watertown,
with
the
american
rescue
plan
act
and
receive
funding
as
allocated
by
the
state
of
south
dakota.
H
Sure
I'll
try.
This
action
tonight
allows
us
to
start
the
process
to
request
the
3.7
million
that
will
be
allocated
to
the
city
of
watertown
from
the
coved
money.
If
you
will,
from
the
federal
government,
we've
not
determined
any
uses
for
those
dollars,
yet
I
imagine
that'll
be
part
of
our
budget
discussion.
H
A
Thank
you
any
further
public
any
further
testimony
cnn,
we'll
close
the
public
hearing
and
open
it
up
for
first
council
action
for
the
authorization
for
the
city
manager
to
sign
the
agreement
moved
by
councilman
vilhauer
by
councilman
paulson
councilman
bill
howard.
Would
you
like
to
begin
comments?
I.
E
H
H
We
know
that
economic
development
purposes
qualify,
so
that
could
be
a
myriad
of
things.
We're
not
getting
a
lot
of
direction
from
from
the
state
they're
telling
us
apply
for
your
money
and
then,
if
you
do
it
wrong,
the
feds
will
tell
you
so
that
that's
what
we
know
and
kristin
can
probably
give
more
information.
H
B
Thank
you
mayor.
The
only
thing
that
I'll
kind
of
point
out
that's
a
little
bit
different
with
this
plan
than
the
the
kovid
dollars
the
covet
dollars
were
based
on
a
reimbursement
process
by
us
doing
this
and
getting
set
up
with
the
state.
Essentially,
what
will
happen
is
we'll
get
our
money
in
two
parts
with
the
requirement
to
spend
it
by
it
is
december
31st
2024.
B
You
have
to
have
at
least
started
your
project
and
all
the
money
has
to
be
spent
by
2026.
if
it
is
not
spent.
During
that
time,
you
will
be
returning
it
to
the
federal
government,
so
those
are
really
the
difference
between
a
reimbursement,
plan
and
kind
of
a
front
loaded
plan.
So
this
will
get
us
started.
I
can
apply,
I
can
get
the
money
in
and
then
we
can
start
to
determine
those
projects.
C
A
Any
further
comments
or
questions
seeing
none
the
motion
is
authorization
for
the
city
manager
to
sign
the
agreement.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye.
Any
opposed
motion

moving
on
to

j
authorization
for
the
city
manager
to
sign
a
proposal
and
software
service
agreement
with
open
gov
for
community
development
software.
We
have
a
special
guest
star
in
the
audience
tonight
who
will
begin
the
public
hearing.
Our
information
technologies,
director
spencer
tonight.
N
N
Alrighty
so
today
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
community
development
and
engineering
software
project.
First,
I'm
gonna
go
through
the
process
that
we
did
to
to
work
through
this.
This
process
started
a
long
time
ago,
but
you
know
throughout
different.
You
know:
staff
changes
and
whatnot
is.
We
have
finally
made
some
headwind
last
year
here,
so
the
process
was
we
formed
a
task
force
for
a
software
selection.
N
Then
we
identified
our
weaknesses.
You
know
really
wanted
to
focus
in
on
where
we
think
a
software
could
help
us
and
obviously
establish
the
goals
for
that
we
demoed
multiple
softwares,
I
think
10,
I
don't
know
a
lot
and
then
we
brought
it
in
front
of
the
public
works,
finance
and
safety
committee
on
april
19th,
where
a
couple
of
you
guys
were
on
the
on
the
council
at
that
time,
and
it
was
a
lot
of
interest
was-
was
talked
about
there.
N
We
followed
that
up
with
several
reference
checks
between
the
two
top
software
choices
that
we
had
and
we
ultimately
made
a
selection,
and
then
we
took
a
public
stakeholder
meeting
where
we
brought
in
contractors
and
developers
and
did
a
demo
with
them,
showing
them
the
front
end
of
the
website,
which
also
I
went
pretty
well.
A
lot
of
there
was
questions,
but
nothing
that
negative
towards
the
software
really
came
out
of
that.
And
then
I
worked
to
negotiate
a
the
best
trade
possible.
N
So,
as
I
mentioned
before,
we
kind
of
tried
to
focus
on
what
are
the
weaknesses.
What
are
things
that
we
can
figure
out
and
when
we
talked
about
these,
these
are
all
things
that
came
up
during
the
permit
application
process
of
potential
issues
that
we
had
internally,
and
I
don't
mean
to
speak
for
for
anyone
in
public
works,
but
ultimately,
what
these
kind
of
boil
down
to
are
just
a
couple
main
issues,
and
I
think
one
of
the
big
ones
was
just
like
email
overload.
N
Our
process
was
just
very
email
driven
and
to
the
point:
when
you
got
you
know
it
maybe
works
pretty.
Okay,
if
you've
got
a
couple,
people
doing
reviews
and
a
couple
permits
on
the
on
the
docket
at
once,
but
when
you
start
expanding
that
it
really
just
becomes
like
chaos
and
very
hard
to
manage
so
yeah
long
story
short.
This
is
some
of
the
inefficiencies
we
found
through
the
process.
N
N
Well,
if
you
have,
if
you
have
negatives,
you
want
to
have
a
goal
to
fix
those.
So
really
I
boiled
this
down.
You
know
I.
We
wrote
down
a
big
old
list
of
things
that
that
of
goals
that
we
had
and
it
really
can
be
boiled
down
to.
We
want
to
provide
better
customer
service
and-
and
you
can
do
that
in
two
different
ways-
there's
kind
of
the
external
process
which
makes
that
you
know
the
customer
makes
it
easier
for
them
to
apply
for
a
permit.
N
But
it's
it's
also
the
internal
process
of
how
we
can
process
through
those
those
permit
requests.
So
I
really
just
try
to
to
dial
those
down
and
at
a
very
high
level
on
the
external
process.
The
portal
has
got
to
be
extremely
easy
to
use.
Very,
very
you
know,
streamlined
and
easy
for
the
applicant
and
then
also
take
online
payment.
Those
are
some
of
the
goals
we
had
and
our
internal
process.
We
wanted
to
have
a
software
that
handled
most
of
the
engineering
and
community
development
functions
in
one
software.
N
We
need
that
data
to
be
accessible,
whether
you're
in
the
office
or
on
the
field,
so
being
able
to
do
it.
Mobile
was
a
was
a
request
and
we
needed
to
be
able
to
do.
We
need
to
be
able
to
find
our
our
data
easily
and
make
reports
out
of
it
and
we
needed
a
software
that
was
stable.
That's
been
a
real
problem
in
the
last
couple
years
here
with
our
old
access
database
and
it
needed
to
integrate
with
a
plan
review
software
and
gis
in
our
case
bluebeam
and
esri
arcgis.
N
N
N
N
To
going
to
feel
a
little
redundant
because,
obviously
our
goals
and
on
our
efficiency
gains
are
a
little
bit
the
same,
but
you
know.
We
really
think
that
this
is
going
to
help
us
have
easier
access
to
records,
we're
going
to
eliminate
a
lot
of
duplicate
data
entry
that
we
do
right
now.
It's
going
to
allow
us
to
have
access
in
the
field
eliminate
that
travel
time
in
between,
like
inspections
having
to
drive
back
to
the
office
to
go
check
where
your
next
inspection
is,
for
instance,
is
something
that
might
happen
today.
N
One
of
the
questions
that
came
out
of
the
public
works,
finance
and
safety
committee
meeting
was
the
overlay
districts
and
can
can
an
applicant
be
notified
if
they're
in
a
flood
zone
when
they
are
right
when
they're
applying.
So
that's
going
to
prevent
those
surprises.
At
the
end,
it's
going
to
pop
up
right
away:
hey
you're
in
a
historic
district
or
you're
in
a
flood
zone.
So
you
got
to
fill
out
this
extra
piece
of
paperwork
or
whatever
clear
and
transparent
communication,
meaning
it's
all
on
the
portal
there.
N
It's
each
side
is
seeing
the
same
data.
You
know
it's
just
everyone's
got
their
information
up
there
defined
workflows,
I
kind
of
talked
about
really
again.
Just
every
every
application
has
a
specific
workflow
and
it
will
just
kind
of
flow
through
there
and
then
licensed
contractors
being
able
to
be
tracked.
It
will
be
another
another
benefit
or
efficiency
gain.
N
N
So
our
budget
for
this
project
again
open
open,
gov,
six,
it's
32
ninety
cents
per
year
for
years,
two,
three
four
and
five
and
seventy
thousand
three
hundred
sixty
five
and
seventy
nine
cents
for
the
first
year.
That's
because
of
the
implementation
cost.
This
project
was
budgeted
for
and
the
money
is
in
the
I
t
department's
43602
budget
line.
N
A
F
In
regards
to
the
in
the
annual
payments
for
those
who
remember
the
boys
and
girls
club
discussion,
there
is
a
non-appropriation
clause
in
the
contract,
meaning
for
those
who
don't
know
dear
dad,
meaning
essential.
You
know.
Essentially,
we
can't
bind
future
councils,
and
so
should
next
year's
council
or
council
thereafter
decide
not
to
budget
the
dollars
necessary
to
fulfill
payment
under
this
contract.
It
gives
us
the
ability
to
cancel
the
contract.
G
You
mayor,
I
just
like
to
spend
thanks
spencer
tonight
for
his
work
director
of
I.t
and
then
stacey
bungard
and
the
community
development
staff.
We
work
closely
with
the
building
official
city
planner
the
assistant
city
engineer,
and
put
a
lot
of
work
into
this
project.
I
appreciated
spencer's
assistance
in
particular
in
his
presentation
tonight,
he's
been
kind
of
a
third
party
objective.
Look
at
this.
We
in
the
in
engineering
community
development
know
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
spencer's
been
great
at
bouncing
ideas
off
of
looking
at
it
objectively
from
an
I.t
standpoint.
G
Have
you
gone
online
yet,
with
your
permitting?
Have
you
have
you
gone
online?
Yet
with
your
permitting?
Have
you
gone
digital
yet
and
of
course,
our
answer
that
has
been
no
and
then
I
just
get
asked.
Why
not-
and
I
think
has
just
been
like
spencer
said
it's
just
taken
time
to
find
the
right
solution
to
meet
our
needs.
We
think
we've
got
that
it
does
cost
money
and
to
that
point
I'll
make
one.
Last
point:
we're
looking
at
helping
subsidize
or
offset
these
fees
by
looking
at
our
building.
G
Permit
fees,
that's
nothing
that
we've
brought
to
you
tonight
that
we've
got
a
solution
to,
but
it's
something
we're
looking
at.
We
are
on
the
low
end
of
the
list
when
it
comes
to
our
building
permit
fees.
I
approach
that,
subject
with
that
public
meeting
that
we
had
with
the
builders
and
developers
I'm
still
alive
today.
I
did
not
get
tired
and
feathered.
A
J
Yes,
I
have
a
question
and
a
comment:
spencer.
Is
this
a
a
product
that
we
bought,
or
was
this
something
that
was
put
together
and
formulated,
put
together
for
us
based
on
our
definition
of
needs?
That's
my
question.
My
comment
is:
is
this
is
a
really
good
move?
The
the
years
that
I
spent
with
the
plan
commission
board
of
adjustments
are
so
many
times
that
it
was
just
so
cumbersome
and,
and
things
sometimes
would
fall
into
the
holes
black
holes
out
there.
I
just
think
this
is
a
great
move
on
our
part.
N
C
C
A
Thank
you
any
further
comments
or
questions
chair
would
just
like
to
say
this
is
fantastic
for
watertown
long
needed
could
be
really
great
for
addressing
a
concern
for
concerns
that
we
as
elected
officials
and
I'm
sure
staff
here
all
the
time.
So
thank
you
for
doing
all
the
work.
I
think
this
is
really
good
for
the
community.
Thank
you
with
that.
F
Thank
you
mayor.
So
in
february,
specifically
at
the
february
16th
2020
excuse
me,
2021
council
meeting
the
council
approved
tax
increment
district
number
11
for
a
planned
project.
It's
a
downtown
another
mixed
use,
downtown
development
known
as
the
marketplace,
and
it's
essentially
where
that
old
laser
tag
facility
is
kind
of
the
l-shape
right
there.
If
you're
not
familiar
with
it,
there
should
be
a
a
area
map
in
the
tif
plan
to
familiarize
yourself,
if
necessary,
but
anyway,
so
that
was
approved
in
february
and
the
developers
were,
you
know,
exploring
their
financing
options
etc.
F
Essentially
it's
a
a
loan
from
a
local
bank
which
it
takes
the
form
of
a
bond
to
finance
this
tax
increment
district.
So
we
sent
out
rfps.
We
received
one
proposal
from
american
bank
and
trust
that
proposal
is
attached
to
the
agenda
item
and
we
were
just
kind
of
waiting
for
the
go
ahead
from
the
developer
as
to
whether
this
project
was
going
to
move
forward,
and
it
sounds
like
it
is
now.
F
So
what
this
action
item
would
do,
it
would
be
approve
the
issuance
of
this
bond,
which
again
is
just
it
takes.
Essentially
it's
just
a
loan
from
the
bank,
but
it
takes
the
legal
form
of
a
bond
to
obtain
this
two
million
dollar
fund.
Two
million
dollar
loan
from
american
bank
and
trust
that'll
again
take
the
form
of
a
bond
that
we
would
then
pass
on
to
the
developer,
to
use
for
tiff
eligible
project
costs.
F
So
what
that
may
mean
is
that
the
first
few
repayments,
the
first
few
payments
required
on
the
loan,
may
have
to
come
from
a
source
other
than
the
increment
revenue.
Now
that
source
can
be
the
city
funds
city
general
funds,
it
could
be
a
scenario
where
we
withhold
a
portion
of
that
two
million
dollars
to
make
those
first
few
payments.
F
A
B
E
F
Well,
we
we
would,
unless
the
council
the
sat
and
gives
the
direction
this
evening
to
withhold
an
s,
so
withhold
a
chunk
of
that
two
million
dollars
in
in
the
tif
fund
to
make
those
first
few
payments.
So
in
essence,
the
developer
would
be
getting
less
of
a
loan
okay
and
we
would
withhold
some
of
those
funds
to
make
the
payments
back
to
the
bank.
E
B
So
because
when
a
tif
is
approved,
it
essentially
doesn't
make
its
full
capacity
for
about
that
12
to
18
months.
So
the
one
option
would
be
a
portion.
Whatever
we
determine
the
amortization
schedule
would
say
for
the
principal
and
interest
payment
do
the
city
would
just
be
paid
that
revenue
from
the
bank.
We
would
hold
it
into
this
tif.
Every
tif
has
its
own
fund
so
that
revenue
then
would
just
come
to
us
like
the
property
tax
would,
and
we
essentially
will
be
making
all
the
payments
to
the
bank
regardless.
F
So
terex,
for
example,
was
a
seven
million
dollar
tif,
but
the
bonding
would
have
only
produced
about
four
to
five
million
dollars,
so
they
said
well,
we'll
just
finance
it
ourselves
and
expect
that
seven
million
dollars
to
accrue
over
over
20
years.
So
I
I
mean
I
don't
think
that
there's
any
reason
why
I
lost
my
train
of
thought.
B
F
B
So
the
biggest
thing
is:
there's
really
no
downfall
to
the
city.
What
this
does
is
it
kind
of
creates
a
protection
that
they're
again
we're
not
having
to
dip
into
either
the
general
fund
or
the
capital
improvement
fund
to
make
these
payments
and
tell
the
tif
revenues
there.
So
as
far
as
is
there
a
downside
for
us,
no,
the
real
downside
would
be
that
the
developer
would
be
shorted
that
little
bit
of
projected
revenue
that
they
were
going
to
receive.
E
F
Would
generate
over
roughly
three
million
dollars
the
payments
were
we
spit?
I
spit
all.
The
payments
with
the
banker
based
on
the
rates
at
that
time,
and
it
was
about,
is
gonna,
be
about
a
seventy
thousand
dollar
semi-annual
payment.
So
if
the
revenue
doesn't
kick
in
until
year,
two
to
three:
that's
how
I
got
that
number.
I
think
it
was
two
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
dollars.
I
estimated
that
we
would
have
to
that.
We
would
be
short
before
the
increment
would
kick
in
to
repay
to
make
the
payments.
F
Yeah,
I
did,
I
did
speak
to
the
developer
and
let
them
know
that
this
could
be
a
point
of
discussion
and
they
you
know.
Obviously
they
would
prefer
that
the
that
they
receive
the
full
two
million
dollars
and
that
we
don't
withhold
a
portion
to
make
those
payments,
but
they
also
said
that
it
wouldn't
be
a
deal
breaker.
If
we
decided
to
withhold
money
to
make
the
payments-
and
you
know
they-
you
know
they
encouraged-
maybe
a
happy
medium
of
some
sort.
Okay,.
E
And
then
one
last
question:
if
I
may,
or
early
on,
we
had
a
conversation
when
chris
shilkin
was
still
on
board.
There
was
some
talk
about
wdc
being
involved
as
possibly
a
a
funding
source
or
actually
a
conduit
that
might
have
made
arbitrage
some
interest
and
make
some
money
out
of
the
deal,
apparently
that,
but
we
never
approve
that
and
that
never
came
for
us,
I'm
so
I'm
guessing
wdc
is
not
a
player
in
this
conversation.
Any
longer
is
that
a
fair
statement.
F
You
know,
I
don't
recall
the
conversation,
the
arbitrage
conversation
in
in
this
context,
but
I
do
recall
us
discussing
having
wdc
be
an
intermediary
between
the
city
and
the
developer,
but
really
you
know,
as
I
talked
to
our
bond
council,
about
it
at
the
end
of
the
day,
that
was
real.
That
was
merely
for
kind
of
protecting
the
city,
whereas
if
there's
some
sort
of
non-payment
or
something
like
that,
the
wdc
would
then
be
the
ones
required
to
go
out
and
and
fight
our
battle
essentially.
E
F
Yeah
well,
the
council
could
choose
to
do
that
and
just
basically
lop
off
that
last
part
of
the
motion
that
would
authorize
the
council,
the
mayor
and
the
excuse
me,
the
manager
and
the
finance
officer
to
execute
the
development
agreement,
because
that's
really
where
that
would
get
memorialized
and
the
only.
I
guess.
The
only
comment
I
would
make
is
that
it
would.
It
would
push
back
their
potential
construction
timeline.
A
F
Finance
officer
is
suggesting
to
me
that
we
would
withhold
the
first
two
years
of
payments
and
I
just
recalled
when
I
lost
my
train
of
thought
other
what
I
was
going
to
say.
So,
here's
in
relation
to
that
when
we
went
out
and
sought
a
quote
on
bonds
from
colliers
or
our
kind
of
our
traditional
company
that
we
use
for
bonding.
F
C
F
E
A
J
F
That
would
if
we
had
to
push
the
actual
dollars
in
excuse
me.
If
we
had
to
push
out
the
date
for
which
the
dollars
could
get
into
their
hands,
it
could
potentially
delay
when
they
decide
to
start
the
demolition
of
that
building.
But
I
don't
know
that
should
be
true
for
sure.
I
just
know
that
that's
a
possibility,
possibility,
yeah
and.
J
I
just
did-
and
I
do
have
a
comment-
and
that
is
you
know
at
some
point
in
time:
it's
difficult
for
us
on
our
own
to
fund
these
things
in
these
tips
and
such
and
we've
got
to
be
careful
of
that
because
that's
probably
going
to
become
you
know
again.
You're
setting
the
precedence
become
more
and
more
prevalent,
so
we
need
to
be
cognizant
of
that.
You
know
from
our
ability
to
fund
these
things
with
everything
else
that
we've
got
going
on
so.
F
Actually
going
to
mention
something
similar
to
what
councilman
danforth
just
said,
I
think
that
you
know
if
we
see
some
more
tiffs
come
forward
here.
I
I
I
would
expect
that
there
might
be
further
requests
for
the
city
to
consider
this
tiff
bonding
and
if
done
correctly,
you
know
like
you
like,
we
are
withholding
those
payments
and
then,
at
the
end
of
the
term,
the
end
of
the
tip
term,
any
any
outstanding
amount
is,
is
paid
back.
If
done
correctly,
it
should
be
a
net
zero
to
the
city.
F
The
only
the
only
other
risk,
then
is,
is
whether
our
bond,
our
bond
professionals,
you
know,
advise
that
there
might
be
some
sort
of
a
risk
to
our
our
bond
rating,
but
we
have
not
been
told
that
that
I'm
aware
of
so
so
anyway,
if
you
have
any
other
questions
about
this
process,
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
them.
Offline
too.
B
I
think
it
should
be
because
normally
if
the
construction
would
be
about
a
year,
the
assessment
then
would
take
place
following,
and
we
should,
by
year,
three
start
to
see
those
revenues
come
in.
If
it's,
if
there's
a
small
gap,
I
think
between
either
a
general
fund
or
a
capital
improvement
fund
support
of
it
with
the
fact
that
we
would
get
it
back.
I
think
two
years
is
a
solid
amount.
E
B
A
Thank
you
any
further
comments
or
questions
on
the
amendment.
Seeing
none.
We
will
vote
on
the
amendment
all
those
in
favor
of
amending
this,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed.
It
is
thereby
amended.
We
are
back
to
discussion
upon
approval
of
resolution
21-41
as
amended
any
further
questions
or
comments,
seeing
none
all
those
in
favor
of
approving
resolution
21-41
as
amended.
Please
say:
aye
aye.
F
F
The
you
know,
thinking
back
to
the
conversation
with
the
airport
board,
there
was
the
general
thought
was
that
we
don't
want
to
strap
down
the
operator
with
too
many
expenses
from
the
get-go.
We
want
to
get
them
up
and
running.
It's
everybody's
benefit
for
there
to
be
an
operational
restaurant
at
the
airport.
So,
that's
perhaps
why
it's
only
that
ten
dollars
per
square
foot
of
exclusive
space
in
the
lease
and
the
term
is
three
years
renewable
for
three
additional
three-year
terms.
A
G
A
mayor
if
I
could
quickly
briefly
make
announcement
likely
at
the
next
meeting,
we
might
have
some
items
for
council
regarding
the
arpa
funding
something
I've
talked
briefly
with
manager,
mack
about
and
wastewater
solid
waste
superintendent
mike
berger
and
I
have
met
recently
with
one
of
our
consultants
and
with
the
windfall
money
coming
from
the
feds
through
the
state.
There
is
a
lot
of
potential
for
principal
forgiveness
and
grant
funding
for
water
and
wastewater
projects.
So,
aside
from
the
allocation,
the
city
is
getting
directly
in
in
additional
arpa
funds.
G
There's
a
pool
of
money
out
there
at
the
state
level
that
we'll
be
seeking
and
putting
some
information
together
for
to
try
to
facilitate
some
additional
wastewater
and
other
projects
that
could
fall
in
line
with
receiving
that
funding.
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
brief
heads
up
on
that,
because
we're
doing
some
leg
work
with
our
consultants
to
bring
some
more
information
forward.
H
On
that,
on
the
vein
of
items
that
are
coming
for
the
next
agenda,
I
do
want
to
remind
everyone
of
the
schedule
that
we
have
in
place
as
it
relates
to
the
ice
arena.
So
at
the
september
20th
meeting
we
will
have
a
public
hearing
and
consideration
of
a
bond
for
that
project.
We
will
also
potentially
have
a
purchase
agreement
with
j
j
land.
H
Are
they
are
working
really
hard
to
put
together
some
some
good
options
for
us
to
consider?
I
believe,
we're
still
on
par
to
place
a
steel
order
by
the
end
of
october,
beginning
of
november.
So
it's
exciting
and
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
a
heads
up
that
that
was
coming
at
the
next
meeting.
I've
been
trying
all
day
to
get
an
email
out
and
it
didn't
work.
So
here
we
go.
