MINOT CITY COUNCIL –
SCHEDULED MEETING –
FEBRUARY 3, 2020 AT 5:30 P.M.
Members Present: Jantzer, Olson,
Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight,
Wolsky
Members Absent: None
Mayor Sipma presiding and led the
City Council in the Pledge of Allegi-
ance. Sipma described some of his
meetings and activities over the past
month. He also said, there were
numerous meetings, phone calls,
e-mails, and individual contact con-
cerning City business. He then rem-
inded the public that the State of the
City Address will be held February
6th at Magic City Campus Arvel
Graving Theater. The open house
begins at 4:45 followed by the State
of the City Address at 5:30 and a so-
cial afterwards. The Mayor Pro-
claimed February 13, 2020 Giving
Hearts Day. Jantzer moved Olson
seconded and was carried unani-
mously to confirm the following May-
oral appointments: Visit Minot:
Jesse Zwak & Gabriel Mejia The
City Manager began by listing impor-
tant upcoming dates. He recapped
NDR updates, beginning with City
Hall Relocation. The City Council
directed staff to hire an architect to
develop reports on the “M” Building
and Wells Fargo Building. Staff hired
JLG to develop the reports and pro-
vide the information to Council be-
fore the physical tours take place on
March 9th. A special Council meet-
ing will be held at 4:30 to begin a
tour of each building. He cautioned
that the “M” building does not
currently have power so there is no
lighting, heat, or ADA accessible
elevators. The recommendation will
then be considered at the March
16th City Council meeting. The City
has moved on to the third option for
the Downtown Gathering Space.
The landowner has expressed in-
terest in selling so the environmental
review process is underway. A spe-
cial City Council meeting is
scheduled for February 24th to dis-
cuss NDR programs and financial
status which may lead to modifica-
tions to some activities. Mr. Barry
described the Minot Complete Count
Committee and Census 2020. They
have adopted the slogan “More
Means More,” which encapsulates
the idea that more people counted in
the census means more federal
funding, more opportunities for busi-
ness, and more jobs for our
residents. The City Manager
described the process the Interim
Taxation Committee has undergone
over the past Legislative Session
and how they plan to move forward.
A Special Assessment Revenue Re-
placement Study took place in an at-
tempt to find alternatives for special
assessments. The City of Minot
does not heavily depend on special
assessments because most situa-
tions require the developer to cover
the costs for development. However,
the City would like to preserve local
control and allow the tool to remain
as a financial option. The cleaning
and repair of the Parking Structures
is done, as well as lighting replace-
ment and roofing. Due to the fact the
structures have been without a roof
since they were constructed, the
Central Ramp needs EFIS repairs,
which will be added to the City’s
claim. The next improvements in-
clude installation of security cam-
eras bird control. Litigation involving
the Parking Structures began in
March 2018 on breach of contract
claims. Attorneys are working
through discovery and a suit is ten-
tatively scheduled for September,
2020. Mr. Barry shared statistics
from the recent Free Dump Week,
which experienced a record amount
of waste collection. During the
nine-day event, the City saw a 40%
increase in tickets at the scale and a
47% increase in tonnage. The next
free dump week will be with the
spring cleanup in May. The City
Manager invited members of the
community to participate in Citizens
Academy through the Police Depart-
ment. Sessions include patrol opera-
tions, crime scene response unit,
special operations, and use of
force/weapons familiarization. Ci-
tizens Academy will take place
Tuesday nights at 6:00 pm May 5-26
and those interested can contact
Master Police Officer Aaron Moss.
He then recognized Master Officer
Moss for receiving the Local Su-
perhero Award from the Minotauros
as part of their annual Superhero
Night. The City Manager and Mayor
then congratulated Barb McPeak,
PSAP Manager and Police Chief Ja-
son Olson for their retirement from
the Police Department. The Mayor
conducted a swearing-in ceremony
for the new Chief of Police, John
Klug, followed by a pinning
ceremony. The City Manager con-
cluded with a video promoting the
State of the City event. Following the
City Manager’s report, Straight re-
quested staff provide information on
the NDR budget and benchmark ac-
tivities prior to the special Council
meeting. The City Manager con-
firmed. The City Attorney submitted
a written report. Pitner moved
Jantzer seconded and carried unani-
mously to approve the minutes of the January 6, 2020 regular Council

cial Council meeting and the Janu-

Olson moved Pitner seconded and
after discussion was carried unani-
mously to adopt the 2020 – 2024
Capital Improvement Plan. Wolsky
said the City Engineer provided
some cost estimates for other pro-
jects he would like the Council to
consider. He requested staff bring
forward some actionable items on
the following projects: The first pro-
ject he requested is the Anne Street
Bridge reconstruction which he sug-
gested be moved up from 2022. He
said it could be logistically beneficial
to be done in a phased approach
aligning with Flood Protection. He
then requested $29,000 be allocated
to consider updating the quiet zone
study through downtown. Lastly, he
suggested they consider identifying
funding for a corridor study on 1st
Avenue NE from Third Street to
Main Street to the Amtrak Depot.
The area is largely owned by the
railroad but planning should begin in
conjunction with Flood Protection.
He also said he noticed the elevator
off the Third Street viaduct is now for
sale. He said it is estimated the
plans would cost about $200,000.
Podrygula commented on the ob-
jective criteria used to rank projects
and said there are other projects that
don’t fit the criteria but still merit dis-
cussion. He said, perhaps they
could discuss projects like the Sun-
set Blvd extension during a City
Council Retreat. There are many im-
provements that could be done
around the city that they may not all
be aware of. Straight agreed with
Wolsky regarding the Anne Street
Bridge and commented on the need
for pedestrian access to the down-
town Gathering Space and potential
middle school in downtown. Straight
moved Pitner seconded and was
carried unanimously to approve the
bids for construction/installation of
the City Hall Security Upgrades and
place and pass ordinance no. 5455

ject. Olson moved Jantzer seconded
and was carried unanimously to ap-
prove $200/month compensation to
Phil Schultz for bookkeeping duties
through the use of Parking Authority
cash reserves; place and pass ordi-
nance no. 5457 on first reading
amending the 2020 annual budget
for the bookkeeping services.
Jantzer moved Olson seconded and
after discussion was carried to
amend CDBG-DR/NDR Voluntary
Acquisition Policy to add setting pur-
chase price standards for blight pro-
perties which have been foreclosed.
Wolsky said he understands the
need to update one aspect of the
policy but their approval represents
approval of the overall policy. He
said, the section relates to fore-
closed properties but the entire poli-
cy is about acquisition of real estate,
including the Gathering Space and
City Hall. He said, he attempted to
make some changes last fall regard-
ing the use of appraisals to acquire
properties for the Gathering Space
project but may not have had the
most up to date version of the policy.
He requested a copy that included
tracked changes from previous
amendments to the policy. Wolsky
moved the City Council table the
item until an accurate version of the
policy is provided. Motion seconded
by Podrygula. Mayor Sipma remind-
ed, there is no discussion on a mo-
tion to table. Wolsky withdrew his
motion and Podrygula withdrew his
second. Mr. Zakian stated, this
change is specific to
CDBG-DR/NDR relating to proper-
ties that meet blight standards and
have been foreclosed upon. The pol-
icy would ensure that we make a fair
offer based on the cost of acquiring
the property which is always below
the current market value. He also
pointed out that time is of the
essence because we have been
made aware of a property available
for purchase. Upon questioning by
Pitner, Mr. Zakian said, the blighted
property would be demolished and
then the vacant lot would be avail-
able for purchase through sealed
bid. Any new construction must
adhere to elevation standards or it
could be purchased through the
neighbor next door program. Mr.
Zakian then addressed Wolsky’s
concerns by saying the policy is on
the website and includes the effec-
tive date and date approved by
Council. Straight asked about the
funding source, to which Mr. Zakian
replied by saying, there was
$800,000 in Allocation #1 for spot
blight. He explained that acquisitions
are driven by national objective and
Allocation #1 allows spot blight as
the national objective. He further ex-
plained that the property in mind
was not included in the City’s initial
assessment but since this process
has taken place, agencies are aware
of the City’s program and will alert
the City when properties meet the
requirements. The City was notified
that this property was available and
it is hopeful they can cast a wider
net to find homes like this. Straight
asked why the address was not in-
cluded. Mr. Zakian said, it is an ac-
tive negotiation so until an offer is
made, the City does not want to
release the information for another
buyer. Wolsky moved the City Coun-
cil table the item. Motion failed due
to lack of a second. Podrygula stat-
ed, because time is of the essence,
he does not want to delay the policy
however, he requested staff provide
the updated information. A vote was
taken on the motion by Jantzer,
seconded by Olson and carried by
the following roll call vote: ayes:
Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula,
Sipma, Straight; nays: Wolsky.
Jantzer moved Olson seconded and
after discussion was carried to au-
thorize a Substantial Amendment to
the CDBG-NDR Action Plan to add
the National Objective of Urgent
Need to the Involuntary Acquisition
Activity. Wolsky asked why this
amendment would take place before
the discussion at the Special City
Council meeting. Mr. Zakian
responded by saying, one of the
basic requirements of HUD rules is
that all activities in an Action Plan
except Planning and Administration
must have one or more National Ob-
jectives which are Urgent Need,
Low/Moderate Income (LMI), and
Blight (includes Spot Blight). To be
able to use NDR funds outside
Buyout Area 4, it is necessary to
amend the Action Plan to add Ur-
gent Need as a National Objective.
In anticipation of the discussion dur-
ing the special Council meeting,
amending the Action Plan will allow
for more flexibility and offers more
options to consider. Straight ex-
pressed his frustration with BNSF
and the idea that NDR programs
may be eliminated because the rail-
road is forcing more acquisitions.
Mayor Sipma mentioned that the
community’s needs have changed
since the application was submitted
and it is worthwhile to have the dis-
cussions. A vote was taken on the
above motion by Jantzer, seconded
by Olson and carried by the follow-
ing roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Ol-
son, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma,
Straight; nays: Wolsky. Ryan Acker-
man, Administrator for the Souris
River Joint Board, provided an up-
date on the MREFPP. He gave an
overview of current construction and
used videos to demonstrate the pro-
gress of each phase. He described
the design and permitting of current
and future phases as well as ac-
quisitions and funding sources. He
also gave details about manage-
ment of the Rafferty and Alameda
Reservoirs and provided an update
one the 2020 flood risk outlook. After
the presentation, Mr. Ackerman
responded to questions about pro-
ject details and financial strategies.
Public Works Director, Dan Jonas-
son provided an update on the
NAWS project. He began by saying,
litigation is finally done. He
described different aspects of the
overall project across the region in-
cluding cost shares and obligations
of the City of Minot. He used a map
to demonstrate different phases of
the project, including the status of
design and construction. Mr. Jonas-
son responded to questions regard-
ing funding as well as operations
and maintenance of the future water
treatment plants. The City Engineer
presented information regarding the
FEMA RiskMAP process and time-
line for new Flood Insurance Rate
Maps for the City of Minot. He ex-
plained the history of the flood
maps, including a timeline demon-
strating progress since 2000, when
the re-mapping process began. He
then described the appeal process,
should the City, Ward County or oth-
er communities decide to appeal the
preliminary FIRM. Upon questioning
by the Council, Mr. Meyer elaborat-
ed on the appeal process and poten-
tial options. Mayor Sipma recited
Section 2-31 A (5) of the Minot Code
of Ordinances, which describes de-
bate limitation. He said, there have
been discussions with staff relating
to concerns over lengthy and
profane public comment. He asked
the Council if there were any objec-
tions to adhering more closely to the
time restraints going forward. After
discussion, the Council agreed that
as long as the presiding officer, most
likely the Mayor, uses discretion to
allow debate, they would not object
to adhering to the ordinance. They
emphasized the need for consisten-
cy and transparency and mentioned
the use of a timer to notify the
speaker when the time limit was ap-
proaching. Wolsky moved Straight
seconded and after discussion car-
ried unanimously to approve a Retail
Beer and Wine license operated by
Prairie Sky Breads. Wolsky said the
establishment is ready to open and
he does not want their business to
be postponed waiting for a license.
At the request of Mayor Sipma, the
City Clerk confirmed that inspections
were conducted by the building offi-
cial and fire marshal and the appro-
vals were submitted earlier that day.
All City requirements have been met
in order to approve the license.
There being no further business,
Pitner moved Jantzer seconded and
was carried to adjourn the meeting
