that
is
on

I
suggest
you
please
wait
until
the
agenda
item
comes

Is
there
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
online
just

request
permission
to
speak.
If
so,.
A
A
And
you
want
to
post
signify
by
saying,
nay
motion
carries
item.
Six
is
the
regular
agenda,
a
is
approval
of
a
quote
award
for
the
third
avenue
northeast
culverts
replacement,
project
number
1929
to
ll
and
sun's
excavating
inc
in
the
amount
of
thirty
four
thousand
seven
hundred
one
dollars:
seventy
five
cents.
C
Absolutely
thank
you
mayor
for
the
introduction
there
with
the
item.
This
is
related
to
the
flood
mitigation
efforts
from
the
2019
events
that
we
that
the
community
observed
in
2019,
as
we
all
recall,
from
2019
there's
a
lot
of
early
year
early
in
the
years,
a
lot
of
spring
runoff
and
flooding
events
that
happen
and
then
high
water
conditions
throughout
most
of
the
year
in
2019,
with
that
came
some
fema
funding
to
help
mitigate
some
of
the
flooding
damages.
This
project
is
one
of
the
projects
that
were
deemed
eligible
for
that
fema
funding.
C
I
believe
to
the
tune
of
up
to
thirty
thousand,
just
over
thirty
thousand
dollars
and
we've
put
out
requests
for,
quotes
to
perform
the
work.
It's
essentially
to
replace
the
the
three
culverts
that
exist
on
third
avenue
northeast
this
location.
If
I
get
my
gis
pulled
up
here,
is
northeast
of
the
dakota
commons
area.
If
you're
familiar
with
that
subdivision
and.
C
C
So
here
on
my
gis
map,
we
have
19th
street
running
north
and
south,
where
my
cursor
is,
then
we
have
third
avenue
northeast
running
east
and
west.
This
is
the
dakota
commons
subdivision,
and
the
culverts
in
question
here
for
this
project
are
located
right
here,
where
our
city
track
our
drainage
track
that
we've
purchased
some
time
ago
to
help
manage
and
control
some
of
the
runoff
from
this
area
of
town.
C
These
have
been
in
a
little
bit
of
disrepair
from
previous
years
observations,
but
the
events
of
19
kind
of
put
them
over
the
edge
as
far
as
needing
to
be
replaced.
So
this
contract
will
replace
the
three
existing
culverts
with
three
uniform,
reinforced,
concrete
pipes,
rcp
pipes
and
after
putting
it
out
for
quotes.
The
parent,
low,
contractor,
ll
and
suns
excavating
has
submitted
a
favorable
bid
to
us,
and
the
staff
is
recommending
proceeding
to
work
with
them
on
the
project.
C
A
A
All
those
opposed
signify
by
saying
nay,
motion
carries
okay.
Item
b
is
approval
of
the
professional
services
agreement
with
infrastructure
management
services
for
work
associated
with
the
pavement
management
system,
update
project
number
2107
in
the
amount
of
one
hundred
twenty
thousand
four
hundred
twenty
six
dollars
authorizing
the
mayor
to
sign
all
applicable
documents,
emotion,
I
didn't
catch
who
that
was
lollum
and
second
by
helene
and
I'll
again
ask
public
works
director,
heath
von.
I
to
tell
us
about
this.
C
C
We
entered
into
a
contract
with
ims
that
was
partially
funded
by
the
state
through
the
deal
one
of
the
d.o.t
programs
and
that
they
help
administer
what
that
project
in
2017
did
is
established
a
city-wide
pavement
management
program
and
an
assessment
of
all
the
city
streets
within
the
city
limits.
C
In
a
nutshell,
what
the
assessment
does
is
provide
a
pavement
condition
index
and
then
also
recommendations
for
roadway,
repair
and
treatment
for
different
types
of
roadway
classifications,
and
it
prioritizes
those
list
of
road
repairs
for
us
in
an
excel
spreadsheet
fashion
and
has
been
a
steering
document.
The
last
four
years
now
for
the
projects
that
the
street
department
and
the
engineering
department
have
worked
together
on
in
selecting
where
we're
performing
our
melon
overlay,
our
street
reconstruction
projects
and
things
of
that
nature.
C
So
it's
customary
once
you
establish
a
payment
management
program
like
this,
that
you
update
the
data
about
every
four
or
five
years,
and
that's
what
this
contract
will
do.
It's
circling
back
with
the
same
consultant,
ims
they've,
given
us
the
proposed
services
outlined
in
their
agreement
here
that
they
would
perform
to
update
our
pavement
condition
indices
for
all
the
the
streets
throughout
town.
They
would
take
into
account
the
work
that
we've
done
the
last
three
four
years
and
any
additional
deterioration
that
has
occurred.
C
The
last
three
or
four
years
to
reassess,
establish
and
update
the
pavement
condition
indices
and
then
update
that
project.
Priority
list
that
I
spoke
about
and
again,
which
is
a
very
good
steering
document,
that's
utilized
by
staff
and
determining
where
our
cip
monies
go
in
relation
to
street
rehab.
C
I
will
note
there
are
a
handful
of
additional
services
that
are
outlined
in
this
contract.
The
base
contract
is
I'll
just
share
my
screen
here.
While
I
talk
through
these
quick,
so
everybody
knows
the.
C
The
original
contract
to
establish
the
payment
management
program
back
in
2017
was
roughly
eighty
thousand
dollars
and
again,
a
good
portion
of
that
was
paid
for
by
state
state
funding
that
we
received
so
a
57
000
updates
not
too
bad
of
a
cost
for
the
amount
of
work
to
plug
in
and
update
the
system.
C
Additional
services
that
they've
proposed
include
that
spreadsheet
is
easy
street
assessment,
an
esa,
that's
the
spreadsheet
of
the
recommended
street
improvements
in
a
ranking
or
a
prioritization
type
list,
and
what
they're
proposing
is
that
they
can
link
that
up
to
our
gis
system,
our
mapping
system
and
give
a
an
all
the
more
robust
user
friendly
platform
for
staff
to
utilize.
This
information
from
that's
to
a
cost
of
nine
thousand
dollars,
they're,
also
proposing
a
deflection
testing
for
collectors
and
arterials.
C
What
we
don't
want
to
do
is
get
into
spending
a
lot
of
money
like,
for
instance,
on
a
mill
and
overlay
on
a
collector
or
arterial,
when,
in
fact,
that
the
structural
soundness
of
the
road
is
not
adequate
and
our
melon
overlay
just
ends
up
going
to
pieces
in
a
premature
fashion
in
a
lot
less
years
than
we
would
hope
to
get
out
of
it.
So
that's
what
that
deflection
testing
does
that
they
would
they
proposed
for
us
to
do
on
our
collectors
and
arterials
again
that's
to
the
tune
of
just
under
16
000..
C
They
would
also
provide
some
gis
cleanup
services,
some
miscellaneous
gis,
along
with
the
coordination
and
syncing
of
that
spreadsheet,
but
also
the
getting
the
street
network
pavement
management
system
plugged
into
the
gis
mapping
which
is
currently
on
there
now.
But
this
would
help
just
clean
it
up
make
sure
everything's
accurate.
C
They
provide
a
functional
classification
review
of
our
street
networks
and
they
would
also
provide
right
away
asset
data
collection
for
pavement
markings
and
signs.
Now.
This
is
one
I'd
like
to
talk
just
a
moment
in
detail
on
with
the
council,
if
just
to
share
the
logic
here,
staff
feels
that
there
would
be
a
benefit
to
adding
these
two
components
to
our
asset
data
management,
and
you
know
we
could
utilize
the
pavement
markings
layer
on
our
gis
map
and
a
pretty
systematic
way
for
maintaining
those.
C
This
information
comes
in
handy
whenever
there's
milling
overlay
type
projects
or
any
work
that
occurs,
and
we
want
to
put
the
striping
back
in
exactly
how
it
was.
We've
got
a
record
of
that.
It's
all
right
there
on
our
gis
mapping,
there's
that
use
for
that
and
then
the
signs
as
well
to
have
a
signed
database
throughout
the
town.
What
rob
does
now
on
the
the
sign
signal
technician?
C
Is
they
do
tag
each
sign,
there's
an
inventory
of
each
sign
in
its
location,
but
this
would
help
put
it
into
a
mapping
perspective
to
know
and
address
all
the
signs
throughout
the
network.
It
would
identify
their
location
and
then
have
at
our
fingertips
the
maintenance,
the
replacement
of
them
with
a
database
like
this.
Now
this
one
is
a
little
spinnier.
It
does
come
to
the
tune
of
a
little
over
thirty
four
thousand
dollars.
C
So
all
these
additional
services
total
63
grand
over
and
above
the
base
cost
of
57..
So
the
contract
before
the
council
tonight
is
for
the
full
120
0426.
C
It
was
budgeted
through
last
year's
budgeting
cycle
for
2021
to
the
tune
of
121
thousand,
so
we
are
within
budget,
but
I
was
just
going
to
offer
up
that
if
the
council
were
interested
in
whittling
back,
these
costs
a
little
bit
as
a
cost-saving
measure,
one
of
the
first
ones.
I
would
probably
point
to
would
be
the
pavement
marking
and
sign
database
by
foregoing
that
with
all
that
being
said,
there
might
be
a
few
questions
on
this
I'll,
be
glad
to
help
answer
any
questions
and
robs
on
the
line
justin
as
well.
A
Thank
you,
heath.
I
did
have
a
question
about
the
functional
classification
review.
What
does
that
entail.
C
Yes,
great
question
and
justin:
are
you
online
or
is
the
consult?
I
believe
the
consultant
is
online
with
us
too,
if
they
could
help
elaborate
a
little
bit
on
some
of
these
services.
That'd
be
great.
E
Appreciate
you
allowing
me
to
join
in
answer
to
your
question.
What
the
functional
classification
review
does
is
plots
the
gis
against
the
usage
and
make
sure
it's
all
correct,
so
it
puts
out
your
different
pavement
classifications
from
arterial
down
to
residential
and
make
sure
we're
looking
at
the
correct
data.
As
far
as
classification
is
concerned,.
A
Okay,
so,
but
I'm
still
not
sure
what
what
kind
of
a
report
would
we
get
out
of
that.
E
Not
so
much
as
a
report
as
an
integration
of
of
more
precise
data
into
the
the
final
deliverables,
it's
very
important
to
know
number
one,
the
usage
of
a
road
and
number
two,
the
wayne,
the
the
number
of
lanes,
because
there
are
different
treatments
that
are
prescribed
and
different
survey
methods.
Actually,
so
we
just
go
through
line
by
line
on
your
existing
gis
and
make
sure
that
they're
all
categorized
correctly.
As
far
as
classification.
A
Sure,
okay,
so
I
could
see
where
that
would
be
important
in
would
it
affect
the
prioritization.
E
Exactly
yeah
you're
always
going
to
prioritize
your
more
heavily
traveled
roads,
which
we
call
arterials
and
collectors
they're.
Typically,
four
lanes
not
always
sometimes
they're
divided,
but
that
is
a
prioritization
in
the
analysis.
B
Thanks
mayor,
I
just
have
a
question
for
somebody:
are
these
one-time
costs
like
when,
when
we've
paid
them
this
year
now
we
pay
this
hundred
twenty
one
thousand
is
that
are
there
recurring
costs
that
come
with
this
or
what
what's
the
status
on
that.
C
Yeah,
thank
you
councilman
albertson.
To
that
point,
I
would
say
that
you
know
that
this
payment
management
program
is
is
moldable.
It's
it's
what
we
want
to
make
it
for
our
community!
That's
why
when
we
set
it
up
four
years
ago
we
got
what
we
did
just
to
get
our
to
hit
the
ground
running
and
to
get
a
system
in
place.
Now
this
year,
as
you're,
seeing
I'm
proposing
what
what
the
consultants
propose
to
us
and
what
I'm
recommending
are
some
add-ons
to
that.
C
So
these
are
coming
at
an
additional
cost,
but
conventionally,
once
you
get
that
program
set
up,
you
would
have
a
recurring
fee
for
the
update
costs.
That
again
would
happen
about
every
four
to
five
years
or
so
so
right
now
the
update
costs
are
57
000
for
the
base
updates
about
every
four
to
five
years,
and
you
know,
depending
on
how
our
payment
management
system
is
progressing,
that
could
be
stretched
a
little
bit
just
from
a
professional
standpoint.
I
wouldn't
recommend
going
much
longer
than
that,
because
your
data
tends
to
become
obsolete.
F
A
couple
of
questions
for
for
you,
heath
one,
I
think
you've
probably
already
answered,
and
you
and
I
have
had
some
conversations
behind
the
scenes.
I
I
assume
you
found
the
study
from
back
in
2015
as
being
useful.
I
mean
I,
I
know
there's
times
that
by
necessity
something
else
jumps
ahead
of
what's
in
the
queue,
but
in
general
this
is
useful
information
and
usable
information.
C
F
C
And
I
don't
know
jeff
if
you
want
to
speak
to
that
as
far
as
your
guys's
use
of
existing
data,
like
that,
like
transportation
master
plans
and
how
that
would
be
considered
in
your
work
here.
For
us.
E
Sure
I
would
need
to
look
at
the
transportation
plan,
but
typically
the
d.o.t
transportation
plan
will
cover
all
of
the
streets
in
and
around
the
city
that
they
have
ownership
of,
whereas
the
city
plan
is
more
the
city-owned
streets
that
they're
responsible
for
the
dollar
dollar
for
dollar
maintenance
of
is
that
kind
of
what
you're
asking.
E
Oh
okay,
I'm
sorry,
I
understand
yeah,
that's
that's
kind
of
the
core
of
this
plan,
because
what
we'll
do
is
basically
drive
all
of
the
streets
rank
them
from
zero
to
a
hundred.
What
we
call
a
payment
condition
index
store
score
which
is
done
to
national
standards,
and
then
we
prioritize
that
the
overarching
problem,
heath
and
his
crew
know
exactly
what
they
need
to
do
on
the
roads.
E
C
To
your
point,
councilman
vilhauer
this
this
work
here
that
ims
is
doing,
does
dive
a
lot
deeper
than
our
transportation
master
plan
would,
but
what
we
as
staff
would
do
is
just
make
sure
that
the
two
documents
are
talking
the
same
language,
making
sure
that
they're
not
providing
contradictory.
F
Information-
I
guess
my
underlying
question
ultimately
then-
is
that
we're
not
paying
for
a
duplication
of
effort
well
or
should
another
related
question
that
is,
or
should
we
be
waiting
for
the
the
final
results
for
the
mat
of
the
transportation
master
plan
before
we
undergo
any
more
testing,
so
sounds
like
they're
they're
pretty
well
independent.
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
the
timing
is
right,
that
we're
not
duplicating
costs
here.
C
B
Thank
you,
heath
kind
of
a
lay
person
question
here.
If
you're
working
on
a
project
and
you're
engineering,
a
street
or
intersection,
what
have
you
and
some
of
the
supplemental
information
you've
got
is
add-ons
if
you
don't
have
that
information.
You're
gonna
have
to
send
somebody
out
there
to
take
pictures
of
it
to
see
what
it
really
is,
or
how
do
you
handle
that.
C
True
true
yeah,
the
more
we
can
build
our
gis
database,
the
better
we
are
served,
I
feel
in
the
community,
because
staff
is
all
the
more
proficient
with
what
they're
trying
to
carry
out
having
that
information
at
our
fingertips
is
usually
saves
us
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
and
effort,
as
you
know,
as
we
reference
it
in
these
meetings
off
and
on
there's
a
lot
of
good,
valuable
information
there.
C
So
the
more
we
can
build
that
over
time,
the
more
robust
that
gis
information
becomes,
the
more
efficient
we
become
become
and
then
the
services
we
perform.
So
this
is
just
one
way
of
plugging
in
more
information
to
those
maps
and
really
the
sky's
the
limit.
When
it
comes
to
gis,
you
can
really
expand
and
continue
to
expand
year
after
year
on
the
data
that
you've
got
in
those
maps.
A
We
would
never
get
to
the
point
of
designing
a
road
without
boots
on
the
ground
in
survey
for
that
purpose,
and
the
the
ims
study
is
really
looking
at
the
condition
of
the
asphalt
and
the
subgrade
and
the
physical
characteristics
of
the
roadway
itself,
whereas
our
transportation
master
plan
is
looking
at
traffic
counts
and
volumes
of
cars
moving
and
where
do
the
cars
drive?
Where
do
the
trucks
go?
What
kind
of
road
do
we
need
and
the
its
future
roads
as
well?
D
Heath
question
for
you
with
us
continuing
to
likely
repeat
studies
like
this,
so
we
have
our
first
set
of
data.
We
take
this
next
set.
If
we
choose
to
acquire
it
and
then
I
would
assume
about
five
years
later,
we'd
potentially
do
this
again
does
having
this
extra
data
help
us
to
potentially
start
to
predict
trends
that
we
might
be
seeing
in
some
of
our
roads,
maybe
areas
of
town
that
might
be
more
troublesome
and
then
maybe
we
can
get
ahead
of
problems
before
they
can
develop
into
further
issues.
C
Yeah
I
if
I
could
refer
to
jeff
on
that
question
as
well,
just
from
his
perspective
from
the
pavement
management
system
database
use
over
time
jeff
if
you're
comfortable
feeling
that.
E
Oh
sure
sure
the
the
biggest
benefit
for
every
study-
it's
it's
critical
to
determine
at
what
rate
the
pavement
deteriorates
and
that's
different
for
every
for
every
market.
In
other
words,
the
street
network
and
watertown
is
going
to
behave
completely
differently
than
the
street
network
in
arlington
texas.
E
So
we
have
to
determine
how
fast
it
deteriorates
and
we
build
curves
to
show
that
deterioration
for
every
type
of
pavement
that
you
have
now.
In
the
first
study
we
don't
really
have
any
data
to
work
with
historical,
so
we're
making
very
educated
guesses
based
on
the
data
that
we
have
for
your
neighbors
and
when
we
work
with
quite
a
few
agencies
in
in
south
dakota,
when
we
come
in
the
second
time,
we
can
then
vet
those
curves
and
and
get
extremely
precise,
with
the
deterioration
of
the
different
types
of
roads
in
watertown.
E
That's
that's
the
biggest
benefit.
The
second
thing
is
over
five
years.
You
have
a
lot
of
changes.
You
have
changes
to
your
budget.
Heath
and
his
crew
are
performing
rehabs
to
streets.
We
may
have
inflation
on
materials
cost
so
every
every
four
five
six
years.
It's
just
a
good
idea
to
come
in
and
update
all
of
the
data
and
move
forward
fresh.
D
Yeah,
I
think
so
the
biggest
thing
is
just
making
sure
that
all
this
data
speaks
to
itself
a
little
bit
so
that
they
relate
to
each
other.
I
think
the
metrics
that
we
get
from
that
are
going
to
be
really
helpful,
just
understanding
what
roads
built
when
maybe
prematurely
failed
and
things
that
we
can
maybe
look
out
and
just
finesse
and
massage
our
process
to
be
more
efficient.
Maybe
with
how
we
go
about
it.
Perhaps
there's.
D
B
B
B
C
No
great
question:
if
I
could
defer
to
street
superintendent
rob
bannon
he's
on
the
line
with
us.
That
is
information
that
I
would
anticipate.
He
would
utilize
the
most
with
his
sign
and
signal
technicians
and
this
pavement
marking
crews
rob.
Could
you
chime
in
on
that
a
little
bit
the
benefit
of
having
a
a
comprehensive,
accurate
database
of
those
systems.
G
Yeah
thanks
heath.
Can
you
guys
hear
me.
C
G
Okay,
yeah
to
have
that
information
handy
at
our
fingertips
is
really
good
for
for
any
of
the
projects
we
have
going
on
or
any
of
the
mill
and
overlay
that
we
do.
Street
markings
is
really
important
to
be
able
to
put
back
the
same
stuff.
G
Currently
we
do.
We
do
a
lot
of
times
when
we
have
projects
coming
through
we'll
go
in
the
gis
and
try
to
get
as
accurate
information
as
we
can
on
those,
but
I
think
that
the
information
that
these
guys
would
provide
would
be
more
detailed
for
street
markings
and
then
signage,
of
course,
it'll
be
a
top-notch
database
to
keep
track
of
our
signage
and
what
we
have
out
there
at
our
fingertips
as
well.
We
do
have
a
database
of
information
on
our
signage
right
now,
but
it's
it's
not
top
notch.
G
A
B
Up
sure,
go
ahead,
rob
on
that
one.
There
are
you
just
you
just
have
like,
like
a
spreadsheet
type
deal
an
excel
spreadsheet
for
your
signs
and
things
of
that
it.
G
B
G
Our
signage
right
now
we
have
stickers
on
the
back
of
our
signs
that
we
keep
track
of
for
a
signed
number,
and
then
we
keep
a
database
of
of
what
it
is
if
it's
a
stop
sign
at
a
specific
location,
but
a
lot
of
that
information
is
is
based
like
if
you
have
a
stop
sign
at
an
intersection,
that's
easy
to
to
document.
But
if
you
have
a
no
parking
sign
somewhere
that
type
of
thing
where
it's
50
feet
from
a
corner,
you
don't
have
an
accurate
location
of
it.
G
That
type
of
stuff
would
be
what
I'd
be
looking
for:
more
accurate
information
of
locations
and
things
like
that
and
dates
they
were
put
up.
We
do
keep
that
information,
but
it's
a
work
in
progress.
A
Thank
you.
I
have
a
question
for
jeff.
This
is
mayor
karen,
the
right-of-way
asset
data
collection
for
the
pavement
markings
and
science
database.
Would
that
be
tied
into
the
gis
as
well?
So
if
we
wanted,
for
instance,
to
know
all
the
signs
installed
in
the
year
2003,
we
could
sort
it
and
show
it
graphically,
or
is
it
disconnected.
E
Now
the
deliverable
for
that
is
actually
a
personal
geodatabase
that
will
sync
with
your
gis
and
provide
imagery.
So
as
we're
collecting
street
data,
we
have
the
ability
to
mount
four
high-speed
digital
cameras
in
that
collection
vehicle,
so
we're
taking
imagery
of
all
of
your
pavements
as
we're
driving.
E
E
E
E
E
Unfortunately,
that
seems
to
be
a
trend
that
just
isn't
going
to
stop.
So
it's
very
important
to
know
where
there
should
be
a
stop
sign
and
there
isn't
and
if
a
stop
sign
is
knocked
down
or
unreadable
or
obstructed.
It's
it's
critical
on
some
of
these
databases
to
maintain
that
just
from
a
public
safety
aspect.
D
A
And
we
currently
have
some
of
that
already
on
our
gis,
where
I
mean,
if
you
could
pull
it
up,
where
we
have
the
you
can
get
a
view
of
the
actual
pavement
at
where
whatever
your
location
is,
of
course,
it's
a
snapshot
in
time
when
that
picture
was
taken.
A
D
E
A
A
C
Yes,
thank
you
mayor.
So
last
week,
my
days
blended
together
pretty
well
last
week.
I
think
it
was
thursday.
A
C
A
C
If
that
is,
you
know,
obviously,
if
that
is
such
a
desire
of
the
of
the
council
as
a
whole,
I
did
want
to
share
a
couple
quick
talking
points
on
the
heels
of
municipal
utilities
action.
What
was
what
had
happened?
There
is,
if
you
recall,
utilities
had
asked
for
us
to
pay
a
1
6
portion
of
the
utility
billing
costs.
C
Those
utility
billing
costs
were
estimated
to
be
just
over
a
million
dollars
annually,
so
that
equated
to
about
185
thousand
dollar
request
from
utilities
for
us
to
plug
this
into
the
utility
bill
after
analyzing,
that
that
ended
up
being
a
good
chunk
of
our
800
000
to
a
million
dollar
revenue
of
the
stormwater
utility.
Specifically,
so
we
didn't
feel
it
was
necessarily
fair
or
appropriate
to
hit
that
one
utility
that
heavily
of
an
expense
right
off
the
bat
when
implementing
it.
C
So
what
our
counter
proposal
was
at
the
end
of
december
was
to
pay
a
proportional
share
of
the
utility
billing
costs.
The
annual
million
dollars
based
on
revenues
for
each
utility,
so
the
electric,
the
water,
the
gas,
the
waste
water,
the
solid
waste
and
the
storm
water
would
all
pay
a
proportional
share
of
that
million
dollars
depended
upon
the
revenue
and
it'd
all
be
based
on
the
revenues
that
each
one
generated.
C
C
I
wanted
to
just
point
that
out
as
a
recap
for
the
council
on
where
we
were
with
those
billing
fees
and
what
we
had
last
presented
to
the
utility
board.
I
also
just
wanted
to
make
a
couple
quick
notes
of
clarity,
just
to
try
to
clear
up
any
misinformation
that
might
be
out
there
now,
the
stormwater
utility,
if
it's
established,
isn't
solely
for
the
purposes
of
storm
sewer
pipes
and
maintenance,
there's
a
little
bit
of
a
misnomer
out
there.
C
That's
just
strictly
for
inlets
and
storm
sewer
pipes
when,
in
fact,
a
storm
water
utility,
if
it
is
implemented,
would
benefit
the
city's
entire
collective
stormwater
system,
which
includes
several
surface
conveyance
channels
that
we
have,
one
of
which
we
just
worked
on
up
in
the
cherry
cherry
drive
area.
C
It
also
does
benefit
the
storm
sewer,
pipe
and
inlets
and
and
the
hard
infrastructure
that's
in
the
ground
that
conveys
stormwater.
That
is
definitely
one
of
the
receiving
one
of
the
components
that
received
benefits
this
utility,
but
just
wanted
to
again
impress
upon
not
only
the
council
but
the
general
public
for
their
knowledge,
that
a
stormwater
utility
being
established
is
to
benefit
the
collective
system
as
a
whole,
so
anywhere,
there's
rooftops
driveways
sidewalks
parking
lots
where
the
rain
now
hits
and
runs
off
quicker
and
carries
sediment
or
debris
or
or
other
things
with
it.
C
That's
what
a
city's
stormwater
utility
helps
to
address
and
manage
from
year
in
and
year
out,
so
I
just
want
to
share
that
information
for
public
record
and
then
move
on
to
you
know.
What's
our
next
steps
here,
the
after
talking
internally,
briefly
about
this
we've
kind
of
always
known,
you
know,
our
other
alternative
is
to
assess
this
stormwater
utility
fee
onto
the
property
taxes,
and
that
is
another
option,
that's
utilized
by
several
communities
throughout
south
dakota
and
is
a
viable
option
for
watertown
to
to
do
so.
C
Really,
the
question
before
that
I
want
to
to
maybe
get
a
green
light
on
from
the
public
works
committee.
Was
whether
you'd
like
us
to
proceed
in
that
fashion.
To
start,
you
know
researching
the
the
timeline
meeting,
the
deadlines
and
bringing
forth
the
next
action
items
for
the
council
that
they
would
have
to
take
in
order
to
accomplish
that
again.
C
D
I
guess
he
my
biggest
question
with
with
this
would
just
be
these
additional
funds.
Do
you
feel
they
would
assist
quite
a
bit
with
just
flood
mitigation
measures?
I
mean
it
sounds
like
a
lot
of
these
waterways
if
we're
maintaining
them
more
appropriately,
and
even
you
know
more
bank
work
on
them,
even
areas
that
maybe
traditionally
flood.
If
we
actually
built
up
the
wall
a
little
bit
on
the
sides,
maybe
it
would
assist
with
that.
C
Sometimes
that
is
a
result
of
lack
of
maintenance
if
you
notice,
I
refer
to
these
a
couple
times,
but
rob's
done
a
great
job
with
his
street
crews
up
in
the
northeast
part
of
town
and
then
locations
throughout
town,
the
ones
that
stand
out
to
me
on
the
northeast
side
of
town,
where
you
can
see
the
piles
of
sediment
along
some
of
the
surface
drainage
ways
that
they've
mocked
out
of
those
channels,
that's
accumulated
over
the
last
five
ten,
maybe
over
ten
years
in
some
cases,
and
if
those
aren't
kept
up
year
in
and
year
out
or
on
an
occasional
basis.
C
So
those
efforts
absolutely
are
benefited
by
these
types
of
funds
and
the
other
important
thing
that
this
program
like
this
does
it
frees
up
funding
for
other
things.
You
know
there's
a
lot
of
things
on
the
wish
list
or
the
want
list
or
the
needs
list
here
in
the
community
and
by
having
another
source
of
revenue
like
this
specific
for
storm
water
management.
It
simply
helps
free
up
some
of
those
funds
to
go
towards
other
efforts
as
well.
F
Just
a
few
questions
and
comments.
First
of
all,
I
want
to
thank
heath
for
primarily
heath
as
a
kind
of
spirit
spearheader
of
this
going
back.
What
the
last
year
and
a
half
almost
two
years
now,
and
especially
in
negotiation
with
the
utility
department,
there's
been
a
back
and
forth
discussion
going
back.
F
I
remember
sitting
at
a
meeting
back
in,
I
think
december
of
2019,
and
he
gave
heath
gave
an
outstanding
presentation
at
our
december
meeting,
but
it
was
unfortunate
that
we
didn't
have
any
kind
of
chance
for
any
kind
of
input
at
the
meeting
last
week.
The
feeling
was
that
there's
enough
enough
chance
in
our
part
for
discussion,
and
it
was
cut
off
that
we
had
no
chance
for
input
whatsoever.
F
Yet,
even
if
the
mayor
tried
to
interject
and
have
some
conversation,
it
was
we
were
cut
off
and
voted
down
five,
nothing.
So
I
don't
think
the
the
ultimate
vote
was
probably
a
big
surprise.
I
think
we
were
somewhat
frustrated
and
I
think
the
term
that
was
used
in
the
paper
is
terribly
disappointed
in
the
way
the
process
worked
itself
out
on
last
thursday,
but
anyway,
that
that
being
as
it
is
now
moving
forward
from
there.
F
F
As
far
as
the
the
the
advisability
and
feasibility
of
implementing
this
fee,
I
think
we'd
all
agree
that
it
was
something
that
we
didn't
want
to
pursue
and
to
the
point
that
we
had
a
draft
of
an
ordinance
in
front
of
us
some
time
back
and
I'm
assuming
that
will
be
coming
again
now
on
an
ordinance
as
far
as
far
our
consideration,
the
public,
having
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
that,
I
think
we
got
hung
up.
F
That
ordinance
was
again
how
we
were
going
to
collect
it
so,
but
anyway,
that
will
be
coming
back
before
us.
If
we
do
in
fact
move
forward
with
this,
I'm
seeing
nodding
heads
here,
so
we
will
see
that
at
some
point
near
future,
then,
if
we,
if
we
want
to
go,
continue
to
go
down
this
road,
I
guess
you've
sort
of
answered
a
question.
F
I
guess
I'll
ask
kristen
or
matt
if
they
have
any
better
insight
as
far
as
what
the
timing
is,
if
we
do
need
to
get
on
the
property
tax
rolls
what
the
timing
is
for
for
getting
that
done.
Obviously,
nothing
will
be
collected
this
year.
But
what
is
the
timing
for
getting
it
on
the
rolls
for
next
pro
next
year's
property
tax
payments?
Any
better
idea
on
that.
F
A
B
I
think
yeah
I
can
chime
in
there
the
the
option
of
putting
on
the
property
tax
rolls
is
essentially
the
same
process
that
kristen
follows
every
year,
including
the
dollar
amount
that
we
would
send
over
to
the
county
in
the
appropriations
ordinance
and
and
then
sending
it
over.
Just
like
we
send
over
our
property
tax
by,
I
believe
it's
october
1st
every
year,
and
so
it's
actually
not
you
know
the
our
ordinance
that
we
would
approve
would
spell
that
out.
B
We
would
follow
that
same
process
and
then
we
would
simply
send
it
over
every
year.
Of
course,
the
the
list
would
change
slightly
every
year
as
property
uses.
Perhaps
change
and
annexations
occur,
so
the
list
may
grow,
but
it's
just
simply
sent
over
every
year.
After
that
ordinance
is
approved.
It
doesn't
have
to
go
through
that
formal
assessment,
quote-unquote
assessment
process
every
year,
so
that
would
be
the
process.
So
as
far
as
timing
goes,
if
we
approve
something
here
in
the
near
term,
it
could
still
be
sent
over
for
collection
in
2022.
A
B
Thank
you,
mayor,
just
a
question
heath.
I
know
that
you
addressed
how
every
house,
in
some
way
or
another,
is
going
to
contribute
to
the
storm
water
flows.
But
it
seems
to
me
with
my
non-engineering
brain
that
some
houses
based
upon
where
they're
at
or
how
they're
constructed
might
direct
might
contribute
more
directly
immediately
and
possibly
more
than
some
other
some
other
houses,
just
possibly
based
on
size
of
the
yard
or
the
housing
development
that
they're
in
would
it
be
even
feasible
to
have
like
certain
grades.
As
far
as
the
cost
on
these
houses.
C
Yeah,
no,
that's
a
fair
question.
Councilman
and
I
guess
the
simplest
response
to
that
is
that
we
as
a
internally
had
directed
our
consultant
to
try
to
keep
the
system
as
simple
as
possible.
We
didn't
want
to
get
into
calculating
areas
of
percentage
of
imperviousness
for
every
residential
lot
in
town.
Some
communities
do
go
to
that
level
of
detail
and
and
they
hone
in
on
the
exact
area
of
the
rooftop
and
the
driveway
and
the
sidewalk
and
but
for
watertown's
purposes
we're
trying
to
keep
it
as
simple
to
administer
as
possible.
C
Just
given
our
our
staffing
levels
that
we
have,
if
we,
if
we
add
more
tiered
components
into
it,
which
is
certainly
possible.
My
only
concern
my
main
concern
with.
That
would
be
the
time
it
would
take
to
manage
and
administer
the
program
year
in
and
year
out,
and
you
would
have
to
appoint
staff
and
have
enough
staff
available
to
address
any
fluctuations
in
those
exact
calculations
on
a
per
lot
basis.
For
all
the
residential
lots
in
town.
C
You
can
imagine
that
could
get
pretty
cumbersome
over
in
a
pretty
quick
hurry
with
as
many
residential
lots
as
we
have
so
what
we
had
opted
to
do
or
tried
to
do
with
a
consultant.
This
far
is
just
to
put
it
as
out
there
as
simple
as
possible,
with
a
flat
rate
per
residence
and
not
have
to
get
involved
to
the
level
of
detail
and
calculating
the
amount
of
impact
on
a
per
lot
basis
for
residential
purposes.
A
The
largest
number
of
individual
bills
will
go
to
single-family
dwellings
and
that's
also
the
lowest
cost
and
we'd
have
to
raise
up
the
fee
considerably
to
add
another
staff
member
to
handle
not
just
figuring
it
out,
but
handling
all
the
objections
to
it
like.
Well,
I
don't
have
that
much
square
feet
of
impervious
surface.
A
All
right
any
new
business,
all
right,
we
will
be
going
into
executive
session
this
evening
in
order
to
discuss
and
consult
with
legal
counsel
on
a
personnel
matter.
We
do
not
expect
to
take
action
upon
coming
out.
So
I'll
look
for
a
motion
go
into
executive
session
pursuant
to
sdcl
1-25-2,
have
a
motion
by
hoyer
and
a
second
by
helene,
any
discussion,
all
those
in
favor
signify
by
saying
aye.
