Description
City Council Meeting 12-19-22 (cont.)
A
And
folks,
yeah
I'm
not
sure
where
a
city
manager
went,
but
let's
get
continue
here
now
we're
back
to
our
agenda
as
we
had
it
previously
presented
to
us.
Eight
D
second
reading
of
ordinance,
22-26,
supplemental
Appropriations,
automatic
supplements,
federal
and
state
grants
and
budget
line
item
transfers.
With
that
I'll
turn
to
our
finance
officer,
Christian
bobzin,
okay,.
B
This
will
supplement
the
2022
budget.
This
will
be
done
through
the
ordinance,
as
well
as
the
automatic
supplements
is
what
we
do
with
our
federal
and
state
grants
and
then
also
the
budget
line
transfers.
We
did
discuss
this
during
the
first
reading,
so
I
won't
go
into
specifics.
But
there
again
no
changes
from
the
first
reading
and
if
there
are
questions,
I
can
answer
them.
Thank
you.
A
I
would
just
I
would
just
make
one
comment,
because
I
did
have
someone
ask
me
about
the
big
number
of
17
million,
but
as
I,
but
as
I.
Look
at
this.
That
includes
transfers
to
other
funds
which
aren't
necessarily
expenditures
at
or
additional
expenditures
that
we're
budgeting.
So
I
just
want
to
make
that
that
point
made.
If
there's
no
further
discussion,
look
for
Council
action,
all
in
favor,
aye,
aye,
opposed
same
sign
motion
approved
eight
e
resolution,
22-53
to
dissolve
TIF
district
number,
one
comprising
Hatton
Industrial
Park
after
full
payment
of
all
obligation.
B
Thank
you
again
before
the
council
tonight
as
resolution
2253.
This
will
dissolve
tip
number
one.
As
stated,
this
plan
was
approved
in
June
of
2004,
with
the
inner
fund
loan
approved
in
October
of
2004..
It
was
a
2.4
million
dollar
loan
at
seven
percent
interest
all
has
been
paid
off,
it
was
set
to
pay
off.
It
had
to
be
paid
off,
essentially
in
2024,
so
it
did
pre.
It
did
pay
off
earlier
than
we
needed
it
to
otherwise.
What
happens
now
with
this
Tiff
is
once
it
dissolves.
B
C
B
A
E
A
Okay,
any
further
discussion,
Now
look
for
Council
action,
all
in
favor,
aye
aye
opposed
same
sign
motion.
It
carries
another
one.
Very
similar
now
is
8f
resolution.
22-54
dissolved,
Tiff
District
number
six
comprising
resident
Industrial
Park
after
full
payment
of
all
obligations
and
again
finance
officer,
Bob
Zen.
Do
you
want
to
take
this
away?
Yep.
B
Thank
you
so,
as
stated
resolution
2254,
this
plan
was
approved
by
the
council
in
October
of
2008,
with
the
inner
fund
loan
December
of
2009.
This
was
an
800
000
loan
at
seven
percent
interest.
This
one
too,
was
actually
set
to
have
to
be
paid
off
by
2029.
So
we're
well
ahead
of
schedule
on
this
one.
There
again
once
I
get
approval
for
this.
The
remaining
cash
balance
will
be
sent
back
to
the
county
to
be
distributed
evenly.
If
there's
any
specific
questions,
I
can
try
to
answer
them.
Okay,.
F
B
A
G
Thank
you,
Deputy
Mayor.
This
is
the
annual
fee
resolution
on
the
finance
department,
requests
that
all
of
the
other
departments
review
their
current
fees
and
bring
forward
any
changes
that
are
necessary
to
meet
projected
revenues.
This
is
what
you
have
before
you.
We've
made
the
changes
and
Incorporated
that
into
the
new
fee
resolution.
We
do
have
several
department
heads
here
and
division
managers.
If
you
have
specific
questions,
we
can
try
to
answer
those
otherwise
I'll
stand
by
for
questions.
H
Thank
you,
Deputy
Mayor
question
on
the
golf
course
as
far
as
cart
fees.
So
it
has
it
per
writer.
What
are
ten
dollars
or
whatever
it
may
be,
and
I
believe
people
were
charged
this
summer
if
they
weren't
golfing,
if
they
were
just
riding
along,
they
were
getting
charged
to
ride
along.
So
just
curious,
if
that's
correct
and
was
just
yeah,
I
was
looking
for
some
insight
on
that.
I
Rhodic
Parks
and
Rec
forestry
director.
Thank
you.
Yes,
that
is
correct.
Essentially
the
reasoning
behind
that
is
every
time
a
cart
goes
out.
There's
certain
expense
to
that,
and
also
we
are
limited
on
the
number
of
carts
that
we
lease.
So
typically,
if
we
have
additional
cards
come
out
and
we
end
up
short,
then
somebody
does
not
have
a
cart
to
use
for
actual
golfing.
So
remember.
H
So
yeah
on
that
you're
saying
that
would
keep
what
people
might
take
individual
cards
and
not
pair
up
potentially
correct.
Oh
okay,
because
I
know
some
cases
that
they
had,
let's
say
a
final
spouse
wanting
to
come
along
or
something
like
that
and
the
spouse
doesn't
Golf
and
they
got
to
be
charged
for
riding
along
and
I.
Just
didn't
know
if
that
was
the
best
poly
or
best
fee.
For
that.
G
A
Further
conversations
or
questions
I
I
do
have
one
I
want
to
point
out
one
thing:
it
says
the
airport
division
fees
are
for
information
purposes
only
as
the
board
responsible
for
establishing
appropriate
fees.
Yes,
so
no
I
mean
that
still
always
comes
to
us
as
a
recommendation
from
the
airport
board
for
approval.
So
is
that
necessarily
a
fair
statement
that
they
set
their
own
fees.
J
J
J
J
A
G
D
A
D
I
kind
of
have
the
same
question
because
I
know
we
had
this
same
discussion
last
year
and
I
think
that's.
Why
we're
all
kind
of
confused
right
now,
but
because
I
know
last
year
the
fees
for
like
the
quad
or
our
Aquatic
Center
and
our
our
Wellness
Center
got
brought
in
to
discussion
and
it
was
set
by
the
board
or
the
parks
and
rec
board,
not
us.
A
D
G
Just
well
are
you
asking
about
a
specific
fee?
No,
because
because
Dusty
can
certainly
speak
to
those,
he
worked
with
his
staff,
pretty
pretty
heavily
on
those
but
process
wise.
The
process
is
a
little
wonky
right
now,
because
we're
in
between
an
existing
board
and
a
potential
new
board,
and
we
had
to
get
fees
set
for
2023.
I
I
We
are
trying
to
get
it
to
the
point,
so
you
would
encourage
your
you
know:
participants
to
get
an
annual
membership-
that's
typically
less
expensive
than
in
doing
it
monthly.
So
the
annual
membership
has
stayed
the
same.
The
monthly
fees
have
increased
slightly
just
trying
to
we're.
Not
we
weren't
planning
on
doing
it
all
at
once.
We're
just
going
to
do
that
incrementally
until
we
get
those
at
least
evened
out.
K
Business
doesn't
work
that
way.
You
look
at
what
your
costs
and
projections
are
on
an
annual
basis
and
you
implement
charges
accordingly,
and
that
is
hopefully
where
we're
going,
because
people
can
accept
a
couple
percent
increase
and
look
at
it
the
next
year
in
a
couple
of
prints
that
that's
easier
than
having
a
steady
price
and
then
getting
a
10
or
15
percent
increase
three
years
from
now
or
four
years
from
now,
so
I
hope
our
our
process
now
in
setting
these
fees
is
to
look
at
costs.
G
To
that
point,
Danforth
you
saw
last
year
we
brought
some
pretty
significant
changes
to
the
planning,
Associated
fees.
Because
of
that-
and
so
that
is
the
goal-
is
to
look
every
year
and
and
do
minimal.
You
know
cost
of
living
adjustments
across
the
board,
rather
than
large
large
jumps
as
Dusty's
still
relatively
new.
In
the
position
we
may
see
some
additional
changes
next
year
within
park
and
rec
as
we
look
at
different
divisions
within
that
department,
but
that
that
is
the
goal
is
to
be
consistent.
G
B
That
I
like
to
go
really
the
hope
that
we're
getting
now
that
we're
a
budget
to
in
November
is
that
we've
had
that
opportunity
to
really
look
at
the
budget,
also
because
a
lot
of
these
fees
should
be
what
we
budgeted
for
the
revenues
from
that
year.
So
some
of
this-
hopefully,
as
we
kind
of
start
to
get
a
new
frame
of
budgeting
and
fee
approval,
it
flows
more
easily.
We've
done
our
budget
approval
in
November
and
the
fees
are
kind
of
already
been
discussed
throughout
the
budget
process.
B
A
G
As
in
the
past,
we
are
not
taking
the
terrorism
Risk
insurance
and
there
is
a
new
form
of
coverage
called
the
war
liability
that
we
are
also
not
recommending
that
we
take.
So
the
recommended
action
is
to
to
approve
the
quote
from
Old
Republic
Aerospace
and
issue
a
special
check
in
the
amount
of
5582
dollars.
A
A
A
B
We
do
last
year
we
actually
did
have
two
carriers
that
did
quote
it,
but
we
continued
to
stick
with
the
Old
Republic,
who
we've
had.
They
seem
to
be
the
ones
who
have
had
our
liability
for
quite
some
time
now.
So
it
is
it's
a
pretty
specific
coverage
so
usually,
when
we
put
it
out,
we
don't
get
too
many
quotes.
Okay.
K
B
K
K
That,
to
me
just
looks
like
crime
that
ultimately
people
get
charged
for
terrorism-
and
you
know,
is
that
something
that
we
need
to
at
least
make
sure
that,
when
we're
denying
that
coverage
that
we're
at
least
understanding
what
terrorism
is,
because
that
we
do
see
a
lot
of
that,
we
there's
umpteen
different
things
that
occur,
that
we
just
think
somebody
did
whatever
they
did
and
get
there
born
and
raised
here,
and
it
can
be
terrorism,
it's
just
crying
and
they
get
charged
with
terrorism.
So.
B
B
What
it
specifically
and
I
think
it's
the
big
thing
is
is
it
has
to
be
like
a
national
like
a
federal
form
of
terrorism,
where
the
federal
government
has
to
deem
it
that
and
I
just
I,
don't
think
there's
a
lot
of
airports
around
that
that
do
the
terrorism
I
think
it's
just
because
of
that
it's
the
top
level
I'm,
not
so
much
on
the
lower
end
and
the
war
liability
is
kind
of
a
brand
new
one
that
we've
never
been
offered
before.
But
I
do
think.
B
A
Any
further
discussion
Now
look
for
Council
action.
All
in
favor
of
the
liability
insurance
renewal,
say:
aye
aye
oppose
same
sign:
motion
carried
moving
on
M
resolution,
22-57
contingency
transfer,
general
fund
and
Airport
fund
manager.
Mack.
Do
you
want
to
kick
that
one
off
or
finance
officer,
Bob
Zane.
G
Thank
you.
We
can.
We
can
tag
team
it
if,
if
necessary.
What's
before,
you
is
a
contingency
transfer
from
the
general
fund
and
the
airport
fund
for
two
different
items
from
the
the
general
fund-
and
these
are
items
that
you're
going
to
take
action
on
here.
The
next
couple
of
items
related
to
some
leases.
It
would
transfer
money
to
the
general
fund
to
cover
the
lease
payments
for
2022.,
the
airport
fund.
G
G
Normally
we
wouldn't
recommend
repairing
a
piece
of
equipment
of
that
age,
but
the
plan
has
been
to
for
a
new
one
to
come
to
the
airport
in
2023
and
to
take
the
old
one
and
transfer
it
to
the
street
division.
So
we
we
had
intended
to
continue
to
use
that
piece
of
equipment
and
it
it
will
be
valuable
for
the
street
division
and
it
runs
the
big
broom
that
keeps
the
ice
off
the
Runway.
So
that's
pretty
important,
so
we
would
recommend
approval
of
these
contingency
transfers.
A
J
Yes,
thank
you
Mr
chairman.
This
is
the
approval
of
the
purchase
and
the
lease
financing
for
a
new
cat,
930m
wheel,
loader
the
purchase
would
be
carried
out
via
Source
well
bid,
so
it
is
considered
a
competitive
bid
process
in
order
for
the
procurement
of
the
piece
of
equipment.
The
financing
of
this
piece
of
equipment
is
a
little
bit
unique
in
the
sense
we
haven't.
J
We
haven't
done
any
kind
of
a
lease
option
in
the
city
for
a
little
while
I
believe
Kristen
had
some
history
with
one
of
our
fire
trucks
back
in
2008
or
nine.
Was
that
right,
Kristen
seven-
and
this
is
something
similar
to
that
where
we're
working
with
tax
exempt
leasing
Corporation
for
a
seven
year
lease
term.
Those
annual
payments
would
be
just
over
fifty
one
thousand
dollars
per
year
for
those
seven
years,
which
totals
a
total
cost
of
357
066.57.
J
With
all
that
math
being
said,
this
is
an
option
that
the
street
superintendent,
Robin
and
I
have
been
talking
about
with
the
city
manager
and
the
finance
officer
for
quite
some
time
now.
This
lease
option
helps
free
up.
You
know
cash
on
hand
available
for
other
capital
projects
or
other
Capital
needs,
but
also
helps
get
the
new
equipment
in
the
hands
of
The
Operators
that
need
it
out
in
the
field
and
on
the
streets.
J
So
it
we
wouldn't
always
propose
an
option
like
this
does,
because
in
the
long
run
it
does
cost
the
city
money
for
that
lease
option.
We
are
paying
just
over
five
percent
interest
rate
on
that
lease
payment,
the
buyout
up
front
today.
If
we
were
to
go
purchase,
that
machine
would
be
just
over
309
thousand
dollars
and
you'll
see.
J
Just
given
the
high
amount
of
other
Capital
needs
that
we
have
throughout
the
city
right
now,
so
this
isn't
necessarily
a
long-term
option
or
solution
that
we
necessarily
always
bring
forward
for
new
equipment
from
here
forward,
but
is
definitely
one
that
we
thought
was
worth
exercising
right
now
today,
given
all
the
capital
needs
that
we
have
throughout
the
city
with
that
Rob
anastry
superintendents
here
today,
of
course,
Kristen
and
her
knowledge
in
the
finance
and
auditing
side
of
this
and
then
manager
Mack.
We've
all
worked
closely
together
on
this
we'll
stand
by
for
questions.
A
C
C
E
F
E
D
Council
Paulson,
thank
you.
You
know
I
I'm,
not
necessarily
in
favor
of
leasing,
long
term
but
I
do
know
that
our
street
department
is
been
wanting
new
equipment
for
a
few
years
and
it
keeps
getting
pushed
back
because
of
the
thought
process
of
street
department
facility,
and
you
know
at
this
time.
I
do
I
I
agree
with
your
thought
process
of
bringing
this
forward.
So
a
couple
Shetty.
H
K
H
So
if
it
at
first
I
was
like
well,
why
aren't
we
just
purchasing
this,
but
thinking
the
financial
correct
currently
and
that
helps
over
a
seven
year
period,
I
mean
we're
paying
fifty
thousand
I
get
her
forty,
eight
thousand,
but
per
year
you
break
it
out.
It's
it's
going
to
help
us
in
a
in
our
financial
status
for
other
projects
and
other
things
that
we
work
through
in
the
next
five
to
seven
years.
H
A
F
I've
been
a
huge
supporter
of
the
leasing,
I
I
think
it's
actually
I've
seen
more
and
more
City
entities
in
County
entities
that
are
going
into
the
leasing
program,
I,
don't
know
about
the
seven
year,
part
or
five.
What
is
it
seven
years?
Okay,
seven!
You
know
a
lot
of
them.
I'm
seeing
are
doing
on
a
three-year
rotation
and
keeping
their
equipment
newer,
but
I'm
all
for
the
leasing
part
I,
think
it
it.
It
keeps
your
equivalent
a
little
bit
pressure.
How
long
would
you
if
you
were
to
purchase
this?
E
F
J
Yeah
I,
just
I,
was
going
to
state
that
for
clarity
we
will
own
this
at
the
end
of
this
lease.
There's
a
zero
dollar
buyout
at
the
end
of
the
seventh
payment,
and
then
I
also
wanted
to
add
just
for
the
commentary.
I
didn't
want
my
opening
remarks
to
be
misconstrued.
As
far
as
the
financial
status
of
the
city,
we
are
financially
solid.
J
I
want
to
emphasize
that
this
particular
option
from
a
staff
standpoint
in
public
works
anyway,
is
really
related
specifically
to
the
street
facility,
and
knowing
the
capital
needs
to
accomplish.
The
street
facility
being
built
is
really
what
drove
us
into
exploring
this
option
so
that
these
dollars,
wouldn't
have
to
be
expended
up
front,
can
otherwise
be
used
for
that
facility.
A
In
their
comments,
I
I've
got
a
I've,
got
a
couple
comments:
I
guess
it's
the
accountant
in
me.
Coming
out
now,
whenever
I
see,
interest
rates
spelled
out
in
a
lease
I'm,
always
very
skeptical
of
that,
but
I
did
double
check
the
calculation
and
the
5.09
percent
is
correct,
so
give
it
give
it
a
thumbs
up
there
and
I
also
want
to
thank
our
staff.
A
I
think
I
got
about
four
of
you
involved
in
some
emails
that
I
sent
out
this
morning
to
me
from
an
accounting
standpoint
made
me
look
more
from
a
tax
standpoint.
This
was
strange
that
we're
actually
Leasing
and
buying
a
piece
of
equipment
with
the
same
motion
on
the
same
piece
of
equipment.
I
was
assured
that
this
is,
it
is
being
done.
It
is
okay.
Department
of
legislative
audit
has
has
blessed
these
arrangements
as
well.
A
So
I
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
addressing
my
concerns
this
morning,
because
you're
all
very,
very
good
in
getting
back
to
me.
So
thank
you
for
that.
With
that
look
for
Council
action,
all
in
favor,
I,
I,
post
same
sign.
Motion
carried
last
item
on
the
agenda
is:
oh,
very
similar,
we're
now
looking
at
a
street
sweeper.
So
why
don't
we
take
that
away?
If
you
want
to
take
that
away,
Public
Works,
Director,
Van,
I.
J
Yes,
thank
you.
Mr
chairman
same
situation,
different
piece
of
equipment,
we're
looking
to
replace
one
of
our
older
street
sweepers
Mr
Bannon
can
speak
to
the
age
of
the
old
one
we're
cycling
out,
but
this
purchase
would
be
off
of
a
Minnesota
state
bid
as
opposed
to
the
source
well
bid
on
the
previous
piece
of
equipment,
but
again,
as
a
government
agency,
we're
able
to
buy
off
other
government
government
agency
bids
and
meet
the
competitive
purchasing
requirements
of
the
South
Dakota
procurement
laws
for
municipalities,
the
numbers
on
this
piece
of
equipment.
J
J
Again
it's
about
a
fifty
thousand
dollar
difference
where
to
buy
it
to
get
out
the
door
tomorrow
would
be
300
and
just
under
351
000.,
and
then
your
total
buyout
again
is
405.
So
again,
roughly
that
50
000
difference
Seven
Grand
a
year
for
this
lease
option,
a
similar
warranty
applies
actually
I'll.
Let
Rob
speak
to
the
warranty
on
this
one
and
then
the
age
of
the
old
unit
that
we're
trading
on.
If
you
could
Rob.
E
Yeah,
thank
you
Heath,
this
same
type
of
thing
we
do
when
we
look
at
these
types
of
machines,
I
generally
purchase
an
extended
warranty.
Try
we
try
to
get
five-year
bumper
to
bumper
on
all
of
our
purchases
seems
especially
with
brooms.
They.
They
are
higher
maintenance,
which
I've
told
you
guys
before
they're
like
having
an
old
scorpion
snowmobile
where
you
work
on
them
all
the
time
so,
but
but
the
same
thing
it
is.
We
generally
shoot
for
that
five
year,
bumper
bumper.
A
E
Of
these
we
we
actually
had
one
that
was
out
of
the
ordinary
we
back
in
18.
You
guys
approved
us
to
get
a
a
new
broom
Bearer
and
we
were
getting
rid
of
an
O3
Broom
Bear
with
72
000
miles
Sweeping
in
town,
and
it
had
13
000
hours,
but
generally
you're,
looking
at
six
to
seven
thousand
hours,
they're
pretty
wore
out
that
one
was
just
the
city
stuck
way
too
much
into
it.
In
my
mind,
that
was
well.
E
So
right
and
you'll
see
on
the
the
two
machines
that
we're
looking
at
trading
in
one
is
an
06
shorts,
which
is
our
backup
and
right
now
we
haven't
been
using
it.
It's
just
been
our
backup,
but
the
repairs
we've
had
to
do
on
our
other
brooms.
It
just
wasn't:
I
couldn't
justify
sticking
so
much
money
into
our
backup
to
keep
it
going.
A
A
L
Today
was
the
due
date
for
the
EAS
bids,
we'll
do
it
for
a
new
contract
that
comes
up
in
I,
think
Junior's,
light
won't
get
a
either
Denver
will
stay
or
we'll
see
what
we
get
forbid
part
says
to
the
dot.
We
should
get
an
email,
hopefully
tomorrow,
Amanda
and
the
mayor
should
get
an
email
on
who
bid.
A
Even
is
that
we're
only
catching
about
16
percent
of
passengers
in
our
catchment
area,
but
the
airport
board,
so
rather
than
taking
the
negative
out
of
that
I.
Think
the
airport
board
looks
at
that
as
being
definitely
a
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
improve
our
bordership
out
here,
compared
to
where
we've
tailed
off
a
little
bit
in
recent
months.
So
with
that
Rob
I'll
have.
If
you
want
to
make
any
comments,
what
I
just
said
or
city
manager,
Mack.
L
The
tail
off
is
basically
gas
prices
and
ticket
prices
are
quite
a
bit
more
than
they
were
back
in
2019.
We're
still
trying
to
get
gas
prices
down
to
catch
up
and
then
trying
to
think
of
the
other
in
plainments.
We're
hoping
to
get
15
000
this
year
be
a
little
bit
low
last
week
didn't
help.
If
we
would
have
had
our
sweeper,
we
would
have
lost
any
Employments
I'm
just
saying,
but
it
was
kind
of
down
and
out.
A
Yeah
I
think
we're
there's
really
a
battle
out
there
with
with
pilot
shortage
and
what
that's
doing
to
available
pilots
and
the
the
salaries
that
they're
gonna
that
they're
demanding
and
that
that
all
trickles
down
to
us
here
in
Watertown
as
well.
So
it's
more
than
just
you
know
one
location
or
one
city.
It's
an
ongoing
problem
within
the
industry
that
we're
battling
right
now,
but
but
we
think
the
airport
board
looks
at
it
as
being
a
great
opportunity
for
us
to
pick
up
from
where
we
are
we've.
A
F
L
L
A
G
G
Sure
so
last
week
we
had
our
first
real
snow
of
the
year
and
it's
early
in
the
season,
so
we're
getting
the
Kinks
worked
out,
but
I
did
send
all
of
you
in
the
update
that
went
out
on
Friday
just
some.
Some
information
on
how
snow
operations
worked,
but
also
the
the
snow
ordinance
as
it
is
written,
poses
some
real
challenges
to
our
operations
and
how
we
can
move
Vehicles
off
the
street.
So
we
can
get
them
cleared
in
a
timely
manner.
G
So
we'll
be
bringing
to
you
all
in
January
for
consideration
some
some
changes
to
that
ordinance.
It
gives
us
some
flexibility
to
be
able
to
call
a
snow
event
so,
for
example,
on
Tuesday,
when
we
got
all
the
ice,
we
didn't
get
two
inches
of
snow,
so
we
couldn't
call
a
snow
event
and
ticket
and
Tow,
which
makes
it
really
hard
to
move
the
ice
and
move
the
snow.
G
And
when
you
have
a
an
event
that
lasts
multiple
days
and
you
get
an
inch
one
day
and
a
half
inch
the
next
and
it
just
doesn't
help
operations
and
I.
Think
we
through
discussion,
the
the
ordinance,
was
written
back
in
the
70s
when
the
city
was
largely
a
box
and
very
gritted,
so
it
was
easy
to
do
Avenues
and
streets,
and-
and
that's
not
what
our
community
looks
like
now
and
so
hindsight
being
what
it
is.
G
We
should
have
talked
about
this
stuff
a
little
earlier,
but
here
we
are
so
let's,
let's
see
what
we
can
do
to
improve
our
operations,
but
I
do
want
to
give
a
a
very
special
thank
you
to
Heath
and
his
crew
Rob
at
this
at
the
street
Division
and
all
of
the
the
crew
down.
There
worked
around
the
clock
for
four
days:
Tim
and
the
PD
they
were
out
helping
as
well
Don
with
the
fire
department.
It
takes
an
entire
team
to
to
run
operations
like
that
and
sort
of
unprecedented
I.
G
Don't
know
that
we've
ever
closed
City
facilities
for
that
many
days
in
a
row,
but
it's
not
a
decision
that
is
made
lightly.
I
did
have
someone
ask
you
know:
why
did
you
the
wellness
center
can
be
open
well
in
relation
to
how
many
employees
we
have
at
the
wellness
center-
and
my
comment
was
well.
First,
it
is
about
safety
of
our
our
employees.
Second,
it's
about
safety
as
a
community,
but
thirdly,
it's
it's
about
the
safety
of
our
our
crew.
G
D
You
I
just
kind
of
want
to
piggyback
off
that
a
little
bit,
I
Heard,
really
great
things
about
our
street
department
throughout
the
storm
event.
You
know
that
just
the
comments
and
the
hours
they
were
working
and
how
are
they
were
working
and
to
deal
with
the
ice
and
the
snow
and
how
well
the
roads
were
being
cleared
off
and
sanded
and
salted,
and
but
then
you
know
it.
It
goes
without
saying.
D
Obviously,
I
want
to
give
credit
to
our
fire
department
and
our
our
Police
Department
as
well
and
and
Robson
over
here
from
the
airport,
dealing
with
what
you
guys
went
through
and
and
obviously
our
Parks
and
Rec
Department,
all
of
all
of
the
crews
out
there
dealing
with
this.
You
know
you
keep
our
the
public
safe
and
we
appreciate
all
of
you.
So
thank
you.
D
A
F
A
Don't
believe
we
have
a
need
for
executives.
Oh
one
other
announcement.
It
was
referenced
several
times
tonight,
but
our
next
meeting
is
Tuesday
January
3rd,
because
the
Monday
is
a
holiday
for
the
for
the
city,
don't
believe
we
have
a
need
for
executive
session.
So
with
that
look
for
a
motion
and
a
second
to
adjourn,
Bueller
Tupper,
all
in
favor,
aye
aye
whole
same
sign.
We
are
adjourned,
Merry,
Christmas,
Watertown
and
stay
warm.
