Description
City Council Meeting - 11/21/22
A
B
Us
pray
dearly,
father,
We,
Gather
tonight
with
hearts
full
of
gratitude
and
the
season
of
Thanksgiving.
We
have
so
much
to
be
grateful
for
in
this
wonderful
city
and
state
and
country
in
the
world
that
you've
given
us,
we
know
it
all
comes
from.
You
now
help
us
realize
that
this
is
a.
Let's
live
a
life
of
attitude
of
gratitude,
a
radness
making
this
a
one-time
thing
every
year.
Now
we
ask
you,
give
us
a
wisdom
to
make
decisions,
pleasing
to
you
as
we
meet
tonight
and
all
God's
people
said
amen.
A
D
A
Is
established
with
that,
the
chair
will
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
the
consent
agenda
with
one
change
we
are
going
to
pull
item
M
off
of
consent
and
off
of
consideration
for
tonight.
Item
m
is
being
pulled
off
of
the
agenda
completely
tonight
motion
to
agree
motion
for
approval
of
consent
by
councilman
Bueller,
second,
by
councilman
Tupper.
Any
discussion
on
that
councilman.
B
A
And
just
for
clarification
for
those
watching
item
M
was
also
taken
up
by
the
airport
board,
and
there
was
just
a
few
questions
that
we
wanted
to
push
back
to
the
airport
board
and
rather
than
take
up
action
tonight
and
defer
it,
we
figured
it
was
a
better
idea
to
just
let
them
take
it
back
up
at
their
next
meeting
and
then
bring
it
back
again
to
the
council,
so
nothing
to
be
worried
about
there.
It's
just
some
logo
opportunities,
and
we
just
had
a
question
about
that.
A
A
See
no
one
come
forward.
I'll
close
the
public
comments
section
chair
will
entertain
a
motion
to
approve
tonight's
agenda
motion
made
by
councilman
Shetty,
councilman,
villauer
and
seconded
by
councilman
Bueller
any
conversation
on
that
hearing.
None.
The
most
motion
is
to
approve
the
agenda.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
motion
carries
item
a
is
a
2022
Bridge
inspection
report
to
council
and
I
just
city
engineer:
Justin
Peterson.
Would
you
please
kick
this
off
for
us?
Thank.
E
F
The
dot
and
gets
80
percent
of
that
funded
by
the
state.
With
the
20
funding
coming
from
the
city,
the
definition
of
a
structure
per
the
National
Bridge
inspection
standards
is
any
structure
or
bridge
over
20
feet
in
length,
and
so
that's
what
constitutes
any
of
your
Bridges
out.
There.
Bridges
are
generally
inspected
every
24
months
and
some
box
culverts
can
be
inspected
upwards
of
every
48
months,
depending
on
you
know
the
overall
condition
of
that
structure
and
and
some
other
criteria
that
that
is
evaluated.
F
F
F
So
there's
a
view
of
each
structure,
three
of
them
being
Bridges,
two
of
them
being
boxed
culverts.
The
two
box
culverts
listed
there
are
on
the
bypass
15
184
181,
the
top
picture
in
the
center
there
located
on
Broadway
that
dead
ends
to
the
South
and
that's
actually,
the
oldest
structure
that
we
inspected
this
past
year
and
then
the
other
two
structures
in
the
bottom
15
202,
190
and
15
205
177
are
structures
on
one
on
the
20th
Avenue
South
Street,
and
one
on
Willow
Creek
Drive
as
well
as
you
can
see.
F
Overall,
these
five
structures,
four
of
the
five
have
been
built
in
2008
or
later
so
generally
speaking,
are
in
generally
good
condition.
The
other
structure
built
in
1962
on
Broadway
that
one
was
rehabbed
in
2016,
and
so
overall
you
know
with
the
rehab
work
that
was
done.
Our
findings,
generally
speaking,
you
know,
didn't
see
anything
alarming.
So
the
big
takeaway
out
of
the
five
Bridge
inspections
this
past
fall
were
that
all
five
of
them
are
in
generally
good
condition.
We
didn't
see
any
major
red
flags,
we
didn't
have
any
post
requirements
for
load
restriction.
F
It
starts
with
Gathering
the
initial
data
and
bringing
that
out
into
the
field,
and
our
field
work
consists
of
looking
at
not
just
the
bridge,
but
we
start
looking
at
the
approaches,
we
look
for
signage
approach,
guardrail
conditions,
look
for
any!
You
know
safety
deficiencies
with
the
approaches
leading
to
the
structure.
Then
we
actually
start
looking
at
the
bridge
deck
barrier
rail,
then
we
do
what's
called
deck.
Delamination
survey
checking
for
any
bad
areas
of
the
concrete
deck
that
may
need
to
repair
in
the
future.
F
Then
we
kind
of
start
working
our
way,
underneath
the
structure
looking
at
the
underside
of
the
deck
and
then
looking
at
What's
called
the
substructure,
so
any
of
the
abutments,
the
peers
that
help
support
that
that
structure,
we're
looking
at
those
components
as
well.
Finally,
looking
at
the
channel
and
channel
protection
looking
at
any
scour
or
erosion,
that's
occurring,
maybe
some
previous
flood
events
that
may
need
some
mitigation.
F
Here's
just
a
general
overview
of
what
a
fully
completed
Bridge
inspection
report
looks
like
this
is
just
a
few
photos
of
what
the
inspection
report
makeup.
Is
it's
not
the
entirety
of
the
report
by
any
means,
but
generally
we
have
about
a
15
to
20
Page
document
that
goes
to
the
city
of
Watertown,
for
all
of
the
bridge,
inspections
and
their
structures.
F
Along
with
the
verbiage
of
the
report
is
the
photo
documentation
that
goes
along
with
any
of
the
defects
as
long
along
with
all
of
the
pieces
of
the
structure
that
are
also
in
good
condition.
Just
to
give
you
a
general
synopsis
of
what
we
found
in
the
field
and
then
on.
The
right
side
is
a
channel
profile,
showing,
if
there's
any
irregularities
in
that
channel,
to
see
if
there
may
have
been
a
recent
scour
event.
F
Finally,
what
we
do
is
try
to
summarize
everything
and
take
all
the
important
pieces
out
of
that
report
and
provide
our
recommendations
to
the
city
of
Watertown,
and
so
this
is
basically
a
snapshot
of
that
and
that's
what
was
provided
in
your
Council
packet
tonight
as
well
generally.
This
shows
what
are
recommendations
for
any
repairs
are
on
the
structure.
Obviously
you
know
where,
where
it's
located,
what
it,
what
stream
it
crosses
and
if
there
was
any
prior
load
posting
on
the
structure
as
well
as
you
can
see
very
minimal
repair
recommendations.
F
So,
overall,
these
structures
don't
have
a
lot
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
on
a
mainly
signage
and
a
couple
other
minor
items
to
address,
and
so,
along
with
that,
then
you
know
before
I
met
with
you
guys
tonight.
We
also
met
with
the
engineering
department
and
went
through
these
in
more
more
detail
and
talked
about
the
necessary
repairs
that
were
recommended
and
other
than
that
we
just
provided
any
other
support
that
may
be
necessary
from
the
engineering
staff.
A
All
right,
thank
you
very
much.
I
just
wanted
to
explain
something
for
the
public
is
city
manager.
Mack
is
present
tonight,
she's
just
online
home
with
a
sick,
kid
and
so
she's
double
doing
double
duty
tonight.
So
she
is
present
for
questions.
So
thank
you
very
much.
Mr
brazek
do
I
am
I
pronouncing
that
right,
brosic,
brosic,
sorry
about
that
and
I
will
ask
the
council
if
they
have
any
questions.
B
F
Great
question:
overburden
just
the
amount
of
fill
that
would
be
placed
over
the
structure,
so
one
of
the
requirements
for
a
box
Culvert
whether
or
not
it
gets
inspected,
every
24
or
48
months.
One
of
those
criteria
is
is
overburden
or
the
amount
of
fill
that's
over.
The
Box
Culvert
as
it
relates
to
live
load
impact
on
that
structure.
Okay,
so
thank
you.
D
Kind
of
on
the
same
boat
as
as
Glenn
is
in
regards
to
not
being
a
an
engineer
here,
but
just
when
we
is
there
a
decision
point
to
whether
you
use
a
a
bridge
versus
a
box,
Culvert
and
I
know
we
have
both.
So
what's
what's
the
10
000
foot
explanation
on
that
one
and
then
how
what's
the
typical
life
expectancy
of
each
of
these.
F
F
I'll,
try
not
to
get
into
the
weeds
too
much
with
this,
but
so
the
the
difference
between
a
box
Culvert
and
a
bridge.
A
lot
of
a
lot
of
that
really
comes
down
to
performing
a
necessary
hydraulic
analysis
of
that
specific
location
and
taking
many
site
factors
into
consideration.
A
box
Culvert
versus
a
bridge
in
layman's
terms,
generally
speaking
of
box
Culvert
likely
won't
take
as
much
flow
through
that
structure.
F
A
C
A
A
A
C
You
mayor,
C
and
D
on
the
agenda
actually
kind
of
go
together.
This
one
is
for
the
on
off
sale
malt
beverage.
With
this,
the
affidavit
was
in
notice
of
hearing
was
given
and
all
the
fees
have
been
paid.
So
everything
is
in
order
with
this
one
as
well.
So
if
there's
any
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
I'll
close
the
public
hearing
open
it
up
for
Council
action.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve
the
application
motion
made
by
councilman
Paulson
seconded
by
councilman
Shetty
any
conversation
on
this
Council
hearing.
None.
The
motion
is
to
approve
the
application.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say:
aye
aye
Indiana
motion
carries
item.
D
is
an
application
for
a
transfer
of
ownership
of
retail
liquor
license
and
video
Lottery
license
from
Lone
Pine,
Bar
and
Grill
to
TBN
LLC,
finance
officer,
Bob
Zin.
Please
tell
us
more.
C
A
A
The
motion
is
to
approve
the
application.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye
any
opposed,
say,
motion,
carries
item
e
is
the
2023
budget
appropriation.
We
have
two
different
items
under
here:
an
approval
of
ordinance
22-224
for
the
2023
City
budget
appropriation.
I'll
get
these
numbers
right
number
two:
the
approval
of
2023
Enterprise
funds,
budget
appropriation,
I
believe
they
can
both
be
taken
in
one
action
and
we
will
hear
about
them
both
from
our
finance
officer,
Kristen,
bobzin,.
C
C
The
second
part
is
for
the
Enterprise
fund,
so
those
have
a
little
bit
separate
requirement
in
terms
of
the
approval
of
those
so
they're
kind
of
two
separate,
but
it's
all
kind
of
locking
down
that
2023
budget.
There
is
no
changes
from
the
first
reading.
So
if
there's
any
other
questions,
I
can
answer
them.
B
Thank
you,
I,
don't
have
a
question
on
the
2023
budget.
I've
got
a
question
of
either
city
manager,
Mac
or
our
financial
officer,
Bob
zine.
Since
we've
gone
since
we've
taken
advantage
of
the
longer
time
to
do
our
budgets.
How
is
that
working
for
our
staff
compared
to
what
we
had
to
go
through
in
years
past,
I,
think
I
know
the
answer.
I
guess
I'd
like
to
to
hear
from
your
perspective.
C
C
Back
I
think
to
do
now
is
we
have
a
longer
amount
of
data
when
it
comes
to
our
Revenue
side
and
also
kind
of
the
expenditures
it
gives
us
about
two
to
three
more
months
of
our
operating,
to
be
able
to
really
see
what
the
trend
is
in
both
those
sides,
so
I
think
it
makes
the
budget
a
little
bit
easier
in
terms
of
just
being
able
to
watch
what
is
increasing
the
inflation.
Any
of
those
situations
that
come
up
so
I
think
pushing
it
back,
has
really
really
helped
in
terms
of
the
Departments.
C
B
H
H
You
know,
so
you
really
didn't
have
a
whole
lot
of
time
to
to
Really
digest
everything,
but
the
biggest
thing
I
wanted
to
talk
about
is
I
want
to
thank
each
and
every
employee
of
the
city
of
Watertown
that
was
involved
in
it.
It's
just
not
the
finance
department
or
the
city
manager.
It's
all
the
department
heads
I
got
to
work
hard
on
their
budget.
Excuse
me
all
year,
big
kudos
to
all
them
for,
for
all
the
hard
work
and
dedication
they
put
into
it.
A
The
motion
is
to
approve
the
2023
budget
appropriation
and
Enterprise
funds
budget
appropriation
for
the
city
of
Watertown.
All
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say,
nay,
motion,
carries
item.
F
is
a
first
reading
of
ordinance,
22-25
amending
the
zoning
map
of
the
city
of
Watertown
for
a
portion
of
Williston
annexation.
First
edition
from
R1
single-family
residential
district
to
C3,
Highway
commercial
District,
we'll
go
to
Brandy
Hatton,
our
Urban
development
manager,
community.
I
I
So
this
is
the
concept
plan
for
this
development
that
was
approved
by
plan
Commission
on
September,
8th
and
then,
if
you
recall
it
did
come
in
front
of
city
council
when
it
was
annexon's
Zone,
it
was
originally
brought
in
as
our
one
single
family
residential,
and
that
was
just
because
it
was
under
35
Acres.
We
couldn't
bring
it
in
as
a
one
which
is
use,
usually
our
placeholder
District.
I
So
now
what
you
have
before
you
is
the
rezone
to
go
from
R1
to
C3
for
just
this
lot
down
here
in
the
south
east
corner
of
the
whole
subdivision.
This
is
their
first
phase
that
they
will
be
accompanying
with
a
plat
and
development
agreement
for
the
extension
of
Eighth
Avenue
Southwest.
That
will
come
at
the
second
reading,
but
this
is
just
the
first
reading
of
the
rezone
going
from
R1,
which
was
not
in
conformance
with
their
concept
plan
to
C3
Highway
commercial,
which
now
will
be
in
conformance
and
will
be
what
they
end
up.
A
J
I
I
B
I
The
concept
plan
was
being
approved.
There
was
people
that
either
had
been
in
touch
before
the
meeting
or
were
at
the
public
hearings
that
were
in
opposition
to
it,
and
that
is
you
know
the
immediate
neighbors,
where
that's
always
a
concern
of
just
wanting
to
learn
more
about
traffic
pattern
and
then
obviously
just
a
higher
density
in
the
area.
So
there
was
and
that
what
their
comments
were
addressed
then,
during
the
concept
plan,
approval
with
the
plan
Commission.
K
I
For
this
reason,
nope,
they
just
had
the
question
of
why
the
property
wasn't
initially
zoned
to
be
in
conformance
with
the
concept
plan,
and
that
is
well
on
because
of
our
Subaru
water
consent,
decree
agreement
and
so
trying
to
get
that
annexed
and
brought
in
so
that
can
all
be
taken
care
of
with
Watertown
Municipal
Utilities
and
that
agreement.
So
that's
really
it's
it's
an
administrative
plot
right
away.
They
cannot.
I
D
I'm
going
to
figure
out
an
acronym
for
you
so
that
we
it's
the
community
development
manager.
Cdm
is
what
I'm
going
to
call
you
at
this
point.
The
it
really
isn't
about
the
commercial
part
as
much
as
that
intersection
coming
off
of
the
highway
and
and
I
had
oh
gosh
I.
Think
when
I
was
previously
on
the
council.
I
had
talked
about
and
asked
for
consideration
of
some
type
of
a
street
light
at
that
corner.
That's
a
terribly
dark
corner,
it's
hard
to
find
that
corner.
D
I
A
A
C
C
So.
Within
that
resolution
there
is,
let's
see
it
looks
like
in
section
one
of
the
resolution.
The
residential
fee
is
going
up,
50
cents,
the
landfill
user
charge
is
going
up
two
dollars
and
then
the
that's
the
yard
waste
white
goods
is
going
up,
50
cents,
so
really
not
a
lot
of
significant
changes
there.
We
did
use
ae2s
to
take
a
look
at
our
rates.
C
That's
one
thing
that
we've
kind
of
talked
about
over
the
years,
instead
of
remaining
flat
or
not
really
knowing
what
we're
trying
to
get
at
we've
hired
them
as
our
consultant
to
look
at
those
future
Capital
needs
what
our
operating
looks
like
and
then
making
sure
that
we
have
enough
in
our
reserves
for
any
projects
coming
up.
So
if
there's
any
questions
on
this,
we
can
try
to
answer
them.
Thank
you.
L
A
C
I'll
step
in
on
that
one,
the
resolution
from
the
previous
year
was
also
effective,
February
1st.
Sometimes
it
comes
down
to
just
the
timing.
So
once
we
get
this
approved,
it's
got
its
20-day
wait
period
and
then
we
also
Municipal
Utilities
is
the
ones
who
who
does
our
billing
for
us
and
they
usually
need
a
little
bit
of
extra
time
to
get
their
rate
model
adjusted
so,
but
this
does
follow.
Last
year's
was
also
a
February
1st.
So
sometimes
it's
more
of
the
timing.
A
Hearing
none
the
motion
is
to
approve
the
resolution,
all
those
in
favor,
please
say
aye
aye,
any
opposed,
say
a
motion
carries
item.
H
is
an
approval
of
resolution,
number
22-48
amending
the
rate
schedule
for
the
Wastewater
utility
services
for
the
city
of
Watertown
and
setting
an
effective
date
of
February
1st
2023.
finance
officer,
Bob
ziem.
Please
tell
us
more.
C
Okay,
thank
you
mayor
this
one
resolution
2248
is
going
to
amend
the
Wastewater
utility
fees,
also
effective,
February,
1st
2023.
As
with
the
solid
waste
side,
we
did
use
ae2s
to
also
help
establish
those
rates.
There
is
a
significant
increase
within
some
of
these,
and
that
is
due
to
the
large
Wastewater
projects
that
are
coming
forward,
which
we
have
already
kind
of
discussed
previously.
So
with
that
I
will
just
step
through
a
few
of
the
the
changes.
C
This
resolution
is
pretty
it's
a
little
bit
bigger
because
it
has
quite
a
bit
of
the
debt
breakdown,
which
is
a
requirement
of
all
those
srf
loans,
so
I'll,
just
kind
of
run
through
when
we
look
at
the
residential
rate
increase
we're
going
to
go
from
27
and
30
cents
a
month
to
32.30.
That's
a
five
dollar
increase.
C
The
commercial
is
also
going
to
increase
five
dollars
and
then
we
kind
of
break
down
that
excess
fees.
Once
you
get
past,
and
those
two
are
just
nodding
at
me
saying:
yes,
so
that's
going
to
go
up
22
cents
and
then
probably
the
other
big
change
will
be
on
the
commercial
sewer
that
is
going
to
see
a
rate
increase
of
seven
dollars
a
month
self
and
with
that,
like
I,
said
part
of
this
isn't
just
to
take
on
the
debt
requirement.
L
Annoy
I
think
she
covered
it.
Well,
we
have
one
slide
up
here
and
it'll
show
you
here
where
watertown's
current
fee
is
at
27.30
and
with
the
five
dollar
increase
going
to
32.30,
you
see
we
go,
we
pass
Aberdeen,
so
we're
we're
really
really
at
the
low
end
of
the
market
as
far
as
our
rates
and
almost
all
these
other
communities
are
also
taking
on
rather
large
capital
projects.

those

for

engineer.
Peterson
will
explain
this
to
us.
Thank.
E
You
mayor
these
are
a
series
of
I
guess:
smaller
changes
that
were
discovered
during
construction.
One
of
the
largest
items
is
the
addition
of
the
taxiway
which
towards
basically
right
at
the
right
before
his
bed.
So
it's
basically
last
minute
the
FFA
FAA
agreed
to
fund
a
portion
of
the
the
entrance
by
the
SRE,
but
they
had
to
be
attached
to
a
taxiway.
So
this
is
something
that
that's
was
kind
of
planned
all
along
to
get
FAA
funding.
E
There's
an
addition
of
about
100
linear
feet
of
that
taxiway
and
then
the
the
time
extension
had
to
do
with
there's
great
construction
is
also
working
on
the
terminal
project
and
to
speed
up
the
terminal
project.
They
we
asked
them
and
they
agreed
to
pull
their
Crews
off
this.
The
SRE
project
to
work
on
the
terminal
project
to
maintain
that
that
schedule-
and
this
is
just
giving
them
those
days
back-
I
guess
so.
It's
120
000
change
order
and
the
city
is
responsible
for
just
under
17
000,
16
716.35.

300
to
cover

premium
for

Just
a
couple
of
things:
it's
an
increase
of
twenty
five
thousand
seven
hundred
dollars
over
last
year's
premium,
largely
due
to
an
increase
in

item
k
is
an
approval
of
a
sub-recipient
agreement
with
the
South
Dakota
Department
of
Public
Safety
Office
of
Emergency
Management
for
the
May
12th
storm
damage,

the
Watertown
Regional
Airport,
we'll
go
to
our
city,
engineer,
Justin

for

information.
E
H
C
C
What
that's
going
to
look
like
it
was
an
8T
hanger
and
there's
conversations
about
that
being
a
little
bit
different
configuration,
but
everything
now
has
been
turned
into
insurance
and
FEMA,
and
so
this
is
just
kind
of
that
last
step
in
the
process
and
then
we'll
go
out
to
bid
like
we
would
on
any
other
project
and
then
replace
what
we
deem
needs
to
be
replaced.
Essentially
so.
H
C
M
K
A
J
E
Because
of
that,
that's
why
there's
a
resolution
of
intent
and
then
in
future
meeting
there
will
be
the
the
actual
agreement.
The
the
ground
lease
will
will
be
is
for
39
606
square
feet
at
18
cents
per
square
foot,
and
so
there
will
be
an
annual
payment
of
just
over
seven
thousand
dollars
and
that
will
increase
two
percent
every
year
on
October
1st.
H
D
E
C
Think
it's
a
little
bit
similar,
so
the
FAA
kind
of
puts
a
certain
cap
on
things,
whether
it's
the
ground
lease
and
then
like
your
your
terminal
space.
They
they
kind
of
give
a
threshold.
I
do
think.
Wow
I
feel
like
it
was
a
couple
years
ago.
We
actually
did
increase
that
fee
which
we
do
have,
but
we
still
have
to
stay
within
that
FAA.
Now,
I
can't
speak
to
if
we've
increased
it
or
if
the
FAA
has
but
I
do
know
a
couple
years
back.
We
did
increase
that
fee
for
the
ground
lease.
A
A
B
Thank
you.
Thank
you
mayor.
This
is
actually
kind
of
a
piece
of
old
business
for
those
that
have
been
following
Council
matters
over
the
course
the
last
year
and
a
half
or
so
back
when
the
the
previous
Council
actually
to
the
10-member
council
that
we
had
back
in
the
early
2021,
put
put
a
resolution
in
place
based
upon
concerns
at
that
time.
As
we're
as
we
are
transitioning
into
smaller
Council
city
manager
week,
you
know
weak
mayor
Etc,
whatever
you
want
to
call
it.
Concerns
about
that.
B
So
this
is
a
second
iteration,
because
it
said
that
we
were
to
look
at
it
after
a
six-month
period
as
well
as
a
12-month
period.
Well,
we're
a
little
bit
past
12
month
period
and
I'll.
Take
the
blame
for
the
delay
in
getting
this
done,
but
we're
at
that
second
iteration
of
this
now
so
the
committee
that
was
put
in
place
this
time
around
was
myself
councilman,
Shetty
and
councilman
Tupper,
and
we
met
a
couple
different
times
ourselves.
B
We
met
with
city
manager
Mack
the
three
of
us
councilman
Tupper
myself
met
with
the
mayor,
and
then
we
also
took
it
upon
ourselves.
We
visited
with
something
that
we
didn't
do
last
time
we
visit
with
what
about
a
half
a
dozen
staff
members
or
department
heads
to
get
their
take
on
it
because
they
they
also
are
aware
of
what
the
the
city
manager
and
the
mayor
is
doing.
B
You
know
overall,
like
I,
say
a
transition
is
going
well,
but
this
is
still
something.
That's
still
a
working
process
we're
only
a
little
a
year
past
the
transition,
so
so
we
feel
like
it
still
needs
to
be
periodically
reviewed
and
also
especially
if
there
would
have
to
be
a
change
in
city
manager
or
mayor
at
some
point
in
the
in
the
excuse
me
in
the
future.
B
So
that's
that
was
one
point
we
we
want
to
emphasize
that
communication
is
critical
to
really
any
form
of
government,
but
really
to
this
one
as
well
and
those
lines
communication.
You
know
we've
got
spilled
out
here
between
mayor
and
city
manager,
mayor
the
council,
member
city
manager,
staff
and
Council.
So
just
one
of
those
things
that
the
the
more
we
communicate
you
know
between
all
of
our
the
parties
involved
here,
the
better
it
is
for
everyone.
B
One
of
the
points
that
we
we
want
to
still
point
out
is
that,
as
we
are
going
through,
the
review
of
the
home
or
the
as
a
home,
Rule
Charter,
Review
Committee
was
doing
their
work
several
years
ago
and
we
as
a
public,
voted
on
their
recommended
changes.
The
feeling,
along
all
the
way
along
was
that
at
some
point
the
mayor's
position
really
should
end
up
being
a
part-time
position
and
I
think
what
we're
seeing
is
probably
getting
better
and
I
guess:
I'll.
B
You
know
mayor
Hawaiian
jump
in
whenever
you
feel
a
need
to
it.
It
definitely
is
not
a
part-time
position
at
this
point.
Yet
we've
got
the
luxury
of
having
a
mayor
that
has
got
the
time
to
to
devote
to
what
needs
to
be
done
as
the
mayor,
but
there's
still
a
hope
that,
as
people
become
more
familiar
with
how
we
are
operating,
that
we
can
look
at
still
taking
some
of
the
load
off
the
mayor's
plate.
B
That
is
still
going
that
direction
and
and
delegate
that
or
you
know,
have
that
go
to
the
city,
manager
and
or
other
staff
of
City
staff.
So
that
is
still
a
concern
and
especially
I.
Think
of
the
situation
where
mayor
Helene
will
not
be
our
mayor
forever
or
his
situation
may
change
that
that
at
some
point
we
may
have
a
mayor
that
does
not
have
the
time
to
devote
to
the
jobs
that
that
I
think
needs
to
continue
to
be
a
concern
of
ours.
B
That
we
are
still
placing
an
awful
lot
of
Burden
upon
the
the
duties
that
our
mayor
is
performing.
So
I
think
that's
something
to
to
keep
in
mind.
And
the
last
comment
is
that
we
all
have
to
realize
that
the
ultimate
goal
of
everybody
concerned
is
to
operate
in
a
manner
that
best
serves
the
needs.
The
city
of
Watertown.
B
This
change
in
governance,
I
think
we
all
agree
was
a
was
a
good
move
that
the
voters
voted
on
a
few
years
ago.
Still
a
work
in
process.
I've.
Had
the
question
posed
to
me
now.
You
know
the
resolution
that
we
adopted
back
in
early
2021
says
that
this
is
now
to
be
done
every
year.
I
I,
don't
know
if
that's
if,
if
it's
to
be
still
should
be
done
in
the
same
manner
that
it
has
been
done.
B
B
So
I
think
it's
something
that
we
we
need
to
consider
as
a
council,
as
we
still
get
familiar
with
what
our
roles
are
as
a
council
that
we
may
want
to
consider
doing
something
somewhat
differently,
but
anyway,
that
that's
where
we,
what
we
came
up
with
our
review
most
recently
in
accordance
with
what
the
resolution
that
was
adopted
by
the
previous
Council
early
in
2021,
with
that
I'll
turn
to
the
other
Evers
on
the
committee.
At
this
point
and
open
up
for
discussion
with
the
full
Council.
H
First,
off
I
was
kind
of
honored
to
be
asked
to
to
sit
on
this
because
it
is
a
large
undertaking
of
changing
a
government
and
and
I
feel
that
everybody
that
I
visited
with
on
this,
including
my
counterparts
on
the
committee.
We
all
come
to
an
agreement
that
you
know
things
are
running
pretty
smooth
in
Watertown
right
now.
We've
got
a
lot
of
challenges,
I
think
everybody's
kind
of
staying
in
there
staying
in
their
Lane
and
doing
their
job.
H
And
yes,
mayor
Lane,
is
doing
way
more
than
what
I
think
the
committee
expected
of
him.
I
always
say
he's
the
guy
that
walks
around
the
Big
W
on
his
shirt,
so
he's
kind
of
our
cheerleader
for
Watertown,
and
we
do
have
to
be
very,
very
careful
with
that,
because
someday
he
won't
be
here
in
in
our
next
mayor-
might
not
see
it
the
same
ways.
H
So
I
think
we
really
need
to
determine
a
little
bit
of
that
that
responsibilities
of
what
we
really
expect
from
our
part-time
mayor,
but
other
than
that
like
I,
say
everybody
that
I
visited
with
even
the
people
before
this
review
came
up.
The
people
I
talked
to
on
the
street
I
mean
they're
very,
very
happy
with
the
change
in
city
government
Watertown
and
only
see
a
positive
from
it.
So
that's
my
take
of
it.
A
N
The
first
six
months,
seven,
eight
months
to
now
the
now
going
in
our
second
year,
there
seems
to
be
this.
Transition
is
what
is
working,
is
moving
forward
and
we're
seeing
the
positives
work,
where
we're
seeing
an
environment
for
the
I'd
like
to
think
for
the
employees
and
and
other
directors
to
do
their
to
do
their
job
effectively
and
efficiently.
B
A
Yeah
I
would
definitely
agree
and
I
want
to
thank
the
committee,
both
this
one
and
also
the
previous
iteration
that
had
councilman,
Bueller
and
Danforth
on
it.
That
I
believed
in
the
creation
of
this
committee
for
the
review,
because
I
think
this
is
arguably
one
of
the
top
things
that
we
have
to
get
done
right
in
the
first
couple
years
of
this
transition.
So
I
was
it's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
city
manager.
A
Mack
I
also
want
to
thank
the
staff
and
the
council,
because
without
buy-in
from
everyone
involved
it,
this
would
not
have
gone
as
smoothly
as
it
has.
I
mean.
City
manager
and
I
are
just
two
people
and
if
we
didn't
have
the
support
of
the
team
and
that's
both
the
team
up
here
and
then
the
team
in
City
Hall
and
in
all
of
the
city
departments
that
would
not
have
gone
as
smoothly
so
definitely
something
that
there's
a
lot
of
credit
to
go
around
and
it's
not
shared
solely
by
city
manager,
Mac
and
I.
A
No,
but
it
the
job
has
been
way
way.
More
than
actually
it's
been
way
more
than
full-time,
actually
for
the
first
year
and
a
half,
but
that's
been
all
right,
because
I
believe
and
I
think
that
the
counts
that
the
committee
has
seen
why
I've
done
it
is
because
you
can't
just
do
a
shock
transition
where
the
marriage
just
completely
disappears
and
stops
going
to
meetings
and
stops
caring,
and
that
shock
would
have
been
disruptive
to
the
city
and
that's
why
I've
been
hopefully
I.
H
One
more
comment
on
that
and,
as
we
all
sit
here
and
we
talk
about
changes
in
each
and
every
one
of
us
have
had
to
make
changes,
especially
the
people
who
had
been
on
the
council
before,
because
our
duties
have
changed
and
who
do
we
go
to?
Do
we
go
to
the
mayor
with
it?
Do
we
go
to
the
city
manager
with
it,
but
that's
also
a
large
part
of
the
community,
where
the
community
in
the
past
has
always
been
driven
to
go
right
to
the
mayor
with
things
and
I.
H
Think
the
the
correct,
if
I'm,
wrong,
I,
think
the
citizens
of
Watertown
are
slowly
grasping
out
where,
where
they
know
that
that
it's
not
just
the
mayor's
job
anymore,
it
is
the
city
manager's
job
to
take
out
in
the
daily
daily
part
of
the
city.
So
hopefully
we
can
continue
to
educate
to
the
community
that
this
is
the
right
way
to
go.
I,
don't
think,
that's
that's
any
questionnaire
with
them,
but
on
how
to
approach.
City
Hall
also
just
need
to
keep
working
on
that.
So
thank
you
very
much.
D
D
So
the
end
result,
I
think,
has
been
really
good,
and
hopefully
the
people
recognize
that,
but
I
do
have
a
question
for
for
Glenn
Glenn.
You
had
recommended
that
maybe
we
look
at
a
different
period
of
time
for
the
re
is
it
is
that
called
out
in
the
Homegrown
Charter?
Is
that
called
out
in
that
that
ordinance.
B
That
no,
not
in
neither
Mike
it's
it's
spelled
out
in
the
resolution,
21-22
that
we
adopt
in
April
of
2021.
That's
where
that
that
time,
that
that
calendar
or
that
scheduling
is
laid
out,
that's
just
a
resolution
that
was
passed.
That's
why
I'm
saying
if
we
want
to
deviate
from
that
and
do
something
differently.
That's
totally
our
prerogative
to
do
that,
but.
D
I
I
think
that
that's
going
to
be
that
almost
has
to
be
very
Dynamic
and
that
it's
going
to
change,
because
if,
if
you
would
have
had
findings
in
my
opinion,
that
warranted
us
looking
again
to
see
where
we're
at
six
months
from
now-
and
we
should
have
been-
the
recommendation
by
this
committee-
should
have
been.
We
look
at
it
six
months
from
now,
if
everything's
going
well
make
a
recommendation
that
probably
annually
just
take
a
little
bit
of
time
to
go
over
it,
but
that
could
change
as
you
referenced.
D
That
could
change
with
a
a
new
city
manager,
which
we
need
to
step
right
back
into
then
that
probably
that
six-month
review
scenario
to
make
sure
that
that's
working
that
so
I
think
the
committee
in
the
situation
needs
to
dictate.
When
we
do
these
reviews
and
that's
what
I
was
curious
as
to
what
it
is.
That's
that's
the
driver
here.
If
that
has
to
should
go
into
ordinance
or
whether
it
should
go
into
the
home
real
Charter
somewhere,
it
should
state
it.
D
A
A
B
A
H
A
A
I
would
agree
with
that
and
Byron
kalis
newly
elected
District
Five
state
representatives,
so
Watertown
is
well
represented
out
in
Pierre.
We
thank
you,
gentlemen.
Very
much
for
taking
on
that
Duty
I
did
reference
really
quick
in
item
M.
There
has
been
the
preliminary
steps
taken
to
have
a
council
strategic
planning
session,
we'll
probably
tackle
that
early
in
the
new
year,
just
to
try
to
figure
out
how
Council
can
be
part
of
a
lot
of
the
city
projects,
but
yet
not
interfering
in
them.
A
We're
still
trying
to
figure
out
that
ourselves
and
just
to
know
what
our
identity
is
going
to
be
and
I
know
that
we
can
always
say
we
can
do
it
like
other
cities,
but
everyone
has
heard
me
say
this
before
many
times:
I
don't
really
care
what
other
cities
do
I
only
care.
What
Watertown
does,
let's
just
be
the
best
Watertown
we
are,
and
we
let
other
cities
worry
about
what
we're
doing
so
any
other
new
business
Mr
councilman
dealer.
If
I.
K
G
No
there's
a
delay,
so
it's
it's
a
little
bit
hard
to
hear
our
strategic
planning
groups
have
been
meeting.
They
have
outlined
kind
of
the
the
final
steps
of
the
work
that
they
want
to
engage
in
in
the
next
year.
We
have
our
telling
our
story,
group
The,
engaging
internal
and
external
stakeholders
and
then
the
establishing
best
practices.
I
did
pose
the
question
to
the
mayor
earlier
today.
G
If
we
wanted
to
maybe
hold
off
on
publicizing
any
of
that
until
the
council's
had
an
opportunity
to
go
through
your
strategic
planning
process,
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
work
that
those
groups
are
doing
is
in
alignment
with
the
the
bigger
vision
of
the
council,
we'd,
initially
planned
to
release
some
of
that
stuff
here
in
December,
but
I'll
visit
I'll
visit
with
the
mayor
and
we'll
strategize
a
little
bit
on
next
steps.
For
that.
B
Thank
you.
As
you
heard
me
say
several
times,
the
airport
board
met
last
Monday,
but
just
a
few
other
things
that
came
out
of
that,
because
I
think
people
are
probably
paying
attention
to
somewhat
or
are
aware
of
them
might
be
coming
up.
Essential
Air
Service
bids
have
gone
out
and
are
due
in
December
as
I
understand
it.
So
soon
they
will
be
received
and
analyzed
by
the
the
dot
and
it's
public
information
at
the
airport.
B
Pilot
wages
have
skyrocketed
as
a
result,
Airline
stealing
pilots
from
one
from
one
to
another.
So
hopefully
we
can
continue
to
get
keep
pilots
in
our
planes
are
servicing.
Watertown
boardings
are
Downs
on
what
they
remain
strong,
but
they
have.
They
have
tailed
off
somewhat.
This
fall
compared
to
the
past.
A
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilman
councilman
Paulson,
actually
before
councilman
Paulson
I,
just
wanted
to
say
I
have
also
been
talking
with
the
airport
board
and
with
Denver
air
connection.
Simply
because
we've
been
having
a
lot
of
questions
about
some
somewhat.
The
fares
and
I
assure
you
Denver
air
connection
is
not
raising
their
prices
just
because
they
want
to
it's
really
a
business
decision.
A
lot
of
it
is
forced
by
the
federal
regulations
upon
pilots
and
other
things,
and
also
the
rising
cost
of
pretty
much
everything.
A
So
it's
just
really
trying
to
stay
alive
and
give
Watertown
the
best
service
that
we
have.
So
we
understand
that
prices
fluctuate,
but
we
ask
people
to
be
aware
and
show
a
little
bit
of
Grace
in
to
Watertown
as
we're
trying
to
do
the
best
we
can
in
Denver.
Air
connection
has
been
a
good
partner
with
us,
so
councilman
Paulson.
A
Actually,
I
think
this
is
amusing.
I
just
got
a
text
from
a
friend
with
the
headline.
Denver
air
connection
reduces
airfares
for
Holiday
Travelers
out
of
Watertown,
so
by
all
means
everyone
book
your
flights,
so
fly
aty
any
other
or
moving
on
to
announcements.
I
guess
I
would
make
one
holiday
lighted
parade,
Watertown
six
o'clock
or
6
30.
6
30.
A
This
Friday
come
on
out
and
of
course,
next
week
we
have
shop
local
and
also
giving
Tuesday
both
huge
events
locally,
and
we
encourage
people
well
every
day
to
spend
their
money
here
in
Watertown,
but
those
days
in
particular
show
a
little
love
for
worthwhile
organizations
on
giving
day
and
Shop
local
any
other
announcements
mayor.
Yes,
city
manager,
Mack.
G
Thank
you.
I
do
have
a
few
just
a
reminder
that
the
mayor's
state
of
the
city
address
will
be
Monday
December
5th
at
4
30
pm
at
the
police
department
community
room.
We
will
also
unveil
the
city's
new
logo,
just
a
reminder
that
city
offices
are
closed,
Thanksgiving
and
the
day
after
Thanksgiving.
The
wellness
center
will
be
closed
on
Thanksgiving.
But
if
you're
looking
for
an
opportunity
to
get
out
and
and
exercise,
the
police
department
is
hosting
the
turkey
dash
at
10
o'clock
Thanksgiving
morning.
M
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
would
also
Express
those
comments.
Please
give
thanks
to
live
in
this
city,
this
state,
this
country
and
to
be
alive
right
now.
There's
a
lot
of
great
things
happening
here
and
in
your
life
so
hope,
so
any
other
announcements
there's
no
reason
to
go
into
executive
session
tonight.
With
that,
the
chair
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
motion
made
by
councilman
Tupper
second
by
councilman
Danforth
any
discussion
on
that
hearing.
None.
The
motion
is
to
adjourn
all
those
in
favor.
