Combined Public Notice
Notice of Finding of No Signifi-
cant Impact and Notice of Intent
to Request Release of Funds
August 13, 2020
City of Minot, North Dakota
P.O. Box 5006
Minot, North Dakota, 58702-5006
701-857-1553
These notices shall satisfy two
separate but related procedural re-
quirements for activities to be under-
taken by the City of Minot.
REQUEST FOR THE RELEASE
OF FUNDS
On or about August 31, 2020, the
City of Minot will submit a request to
the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (HUD) Region
VIII for the release of Community
Development Block Grant National
Disaster Resilience (CDBG-NDR)
funds, under Title I of the Housing
and Community Development Act of
1974, as amended, to undertake a
project known as City of Minot
CDBG-NDR Program: Center for
Technical Education (CTE) Project,
for the purpose of creating an edu-
cational center in downtown Minot.
The total project cost is $3,540,000,
the entirety of which would be HUD
CDBG-NDR funds. The proposed
CTE Project would involve the
voluntary acquisition of the property
at 120 Burdick Expressway E, Minot,
ND 58702, an approximate
0.94-acre lot, and the renovation of
the existing on-site building. The ex-
isting two-story structure was con-
structed in 1957 and is 13,094
square feet. The building is utilized
as a mixed-use establishment, in-
cluding retail, office and professional
uses. The property also contains a
surface parking lot. The proposed
rehabilitation would involve con-
verting the existing space into la-
boratory and classroom space, a
computer center, administrative of-
fices and study areas. Exterior work
to the structure would be limited to
installation or repair of windows. In
addition, the surface parking lot
would be repaved. Minot State
University and Dakota College at
Bottineau would provide program-
ming and management for the CTE.
The CTE would offer one- and
two-year certificate programs, cus-
tomized technical training for local
businesses, associate degree pro-
grams, and ultimately college
transfer programs.
FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT
The City of Minot has determined
that the project will have no signifi-
cant impact on the human environ-
ment. Therefore, an Environmental
Impact Statement under the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1969
(NEPA) is not required. Additional
project information is contained in
the Environmental Review Record
(ERR) on file at the City of Minot,
515 2nd Avenue SW, Minot, North
Dakota, 58702-5006, and may be
examined or copied weekdays 9:00
A.M. to 5:00 P.M.
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Any individual, group, or agency
may submit written comments on
the ERR to the City of Minot, P.O.
Box 5006, Minot, North Dakota,
58702-5006. All comments received
by August 28, 2020 will be con-
sidered by the City of Minot prior to
authorizing submission of a request
for release of funds. Comments
should specify which Notice they are
addressing.
ENVIRONMENTAL

Region VIII that Mr. Shaun Sipma in
his capacity as Mayor consents to
accept the jurisdiction of the Federal
Courts if an action is brought to en-
force responsibilities in relation to
the environmental review process
and that these responsibilities have
been satisfied. HUD Region VIII’s
approval of the certification satisfies
its responsibilities under NEPA and
related laws and authorities, and al-
lows the City of Minot to use Pro-
gram funds.
OBJECTIONS TO RELEASE OF
FUNDS

tions to its release of funds and the
City of Minot’s certification for a
period of 15 days following the anti-
cipated submission date or its actual

or failed to make a decision or find-
ing required by HUD regulations at

pient or other participants in the
development process have commit-
ted funds, incurred costs or under-
taken activities not authorized by 24
CFR Part 58 before the approval of

VIII; or (d) another Federal agency,
acting pursuant to 40 CFR Part
1504, has submitted a written finding
that the project is unsatisfactory
from the standpoint of environmental
quality. Objections must be
prepared and submitted in accor-
dance with the required procedures

drygula seconded and after discus-
sion carried unanimously to post-
pone the supper club license appli-
cation from AMC Dakota Square un-
til August 17th or sooner and direct
the City Attorney to revise the Minot
Code of ordinances to be consistent
with state law while also achieving
the desired result for the applicant.
Podrygula stated, he has no prob-
lem granting the license but does
not believe it fits within the current
definition of a supper club. He would
prefer to include the language for a
theater. Olson agreed and said the
license should recognize the estab-
lishment as a theater and not a
supper club. The City Attorney said,
she envisions the language includ-
ing reference to a movie theater type
license with a restaurant component
so they could still allow minors on
the premises. There would be a food
sale obligation for gross sales to at
least be equal to the gross sale of
alcohol. Mayor Sipma commented
that this situation was not brought up
during the discussions in 2016 revis-
ing the alcohol ordinance. He also
said, it is already done responsibly
around the country. Jantzer said he
hopes they can accommodate the
request and wondered what time
frame the applicant had in mind.
Evans clarified that her motion is
meant to address the issue at the
next meeting, August 17th but if a
special Council meeting takes place
sooner, the first reading of the ordi-
nance can be done then. Olson
moved Jantzer seconded and was
carried unanimously to concur with
negotiated purchase with property
owner for flood buyout acquisition on
1416 First Avenue SE for $160,000.
Olson moved Evans seconded and
was carried unanimously to approve
and authorize the Mayor and Fi-
nance Director to execute the
Developer Agreement with Beyond
Shelter, Inc. for construction of
54-unit senior citizen LMI rental
housing. Ross moved Pitner
seconded to place an ordinance on
first reading implementing term lim-
its for the city council members in-
cluding the date of June 9, 2020 in
Sec. 2-17.1 subsection (d). Olson
shared the concerns she mentioned
during their previous discussion re-
lated to research showing that term
limits impede women and minorities
from running for office. She also
said, term limits take away choice
and they should allow voters to
determine term limits. Evans moved
Olson seconded to postpone action
on term limits indefinitely. Ross said
he does not support postponing and
believes they should take some ac-
tion even if they vote it down. Pitner
agreed and said they can discuss
the issue and vote for it or against it.
He also said he interpreted Olson’s
research differently. He said, imple-
menting term limits doesn’t lead to
more women or minorities running
for elected positions but isn’t the
only factor. It would need to be cou-
pled with campaigning and recruit-
ment. He said, the Council would
have to invite people to encourage
them to run and support them in the
process. Evans said this seems like
a solution in search of a problem.
There are no entrenched bodies on
the Council and the change in
government structure was done in
order to get a better group of candi-
dates. If voters were concerned
about term limits, they wouldn’t have
voted in an incumbent. She said, un-
til there is evidence the current sys-
tem isn’t working, there’s no need to
change it. Democracy seems to be
working just fine. Podrygula agreed
and said the Make Minot movement
has succeeded. He said he believes
term limits take away the rights of
voters. He personally has been
elected five times and was not elect-
ed three times. They need to give
the voters the opportunity to bring a
Council member back if that’s what
they want. Mayor Sipma said it is a
double-edged sword. Discussions
taking place across the country
about career politicians doesn’t ap-
ply in Minot. Make Minot improved
the at-large voting system but if en-
gagement stops, the issue can be
brought back. He said, he does not
agree that it should be postponed in-
definitely. Evans withdrew her mo-
tion. Olson as the second, agreed.
Ross stated, he supports term limits.
He said he believes it is the respon-
sibility of the Council to recruit new
members to fill their shoes. They do
not want a Council of career politi-
cians or a group of “good ole boys”
as it’s called in social media. Make
Minot worked to promote involve-
ment in city government and he en-
courages people to participate. Term
limits send a message that they are
willing to step aside. Olson brought
up a group that already exists to ac-
complish that, called Women Lead,
Women Run, which encourages
women run or be involved a cam-
paign. Jantzer commented, there is
nothing requiring a Council member
to run for reelection. He said it is
restrictive to impose term limits and
there is no guarantee someone
better will step up to run. A vote was
taken on the motion by Ross,
seconded by Pitner and failed by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Pitner,
Ross; nays: Evans, Jantzer, Olson,
Podrygula, Sipma. Finance
Director/Acting City Manager, David
Lakefield, presented the 2021 prel-
iminary budget. He said it is bal-
anced and resulted in a zero rate in-
crease to the mill levy. He explained
that there has been a slight increase
in valuations of about 2%. The
overall 2020 budget was $273.3 mil-
lion and the 2021 budget is $143.5
million. He explained some of the
major differences between the previ-
ous year’s budget compared to
2021. He said, they changed how
they account for projects like NAWS,
and Flood Control so the funding no
longer flows through the City budget.
There are also fewer infrastructure
and water and sewer projects
scheduled for 2021. He then
described some changes that took
place as a result of the new software
system. He pointed out that they bol-
stered the street improvement budg-
et. He said, the 2021 budget also in-
cludes three new positions, an Intel-
ligence Analyst in the Police Depart-
ment, converting a part-time Fire
Marshall to a Fire Inspector, and a
Project Manager/Field Design em-
ployee in Public Works. He then dis-
cussed revenue projections. He said
sales tax collections greatly im-
proved in June which means we are
trending less than 3% behind what
was budgeted for the year. He men-
tioned they are also anticipating a
spike in state sales tax for big ticket
items like boats and recreational
vehicles. He said, they continue to
monitor the price of oil but the good
news with Hub City funding is that
Minot is one of the first entities to re-
ceive collections. Mr. Lakefield
described the changes to the budget
format since the new software sys-
tem was used to develop the 2021
budget. The chart of accounts was
updated to conform with GFOA. The
changes allow for additional detail
and improved analytics. He then
demonstrated on a spreadsheet the
different ways to drill down into ac-
counts to track different budgeted
amounts. Following his presentation,
Mayor Sipma thanked staff for all of
their hard work on the new software
system especially during the COVID
pandemic and the revisions to reve-
nue projections. He then reiterated
that property tax is only one small
component of the budget and the
other funding sources play such an
important role. Upon questioning by
Evans, Mr. Lakefield went into furth-
er detail about the 47% decrease of
the overall budget from the previous
year. He explained that 2021 does
not have the magnitude of projects
that were funded in 2020. There
were two projects, the Fire Station
and City Hall Retaining Wall, that
were delayed in anticipation of re-
duced revenue, however, the 2021
budget includes portions of the fund-
ing needed. If things rebound, there
is flexibility to accelerate the projects
without pitting them against each
other. Mayor Sipma encouraged the
Council to reach out to staff for
questions prior to the budget Q&A
session August 17th. He also invited
the public to prepare questions for
the public hearing and first reading
of the budget in September. Mr.
Lakefield provided a couple other
updates. He said, they held a bond
rating call that day which discussed
special assessment districts, Flood
Control financing, and refunding
bonds for Airport debt. They will
have the ratings in a couple weeks.
He then said the Governor’s propo-
sal to use federal COVID-19 relief
dollars to reimburse funding for Pol-
ice Department payroll was ap-
proved by the Emergency Commis-
sion. It has not been finalized yet but
could be an additional $3-4 million.
He concluded by saying, they con-
tinue to evaluate the approach to
COVID-19 and are closely following
guidance from the state to mitigate
factors. The Assistant Director of
Public Works presented an update
on the Superfund Site and its poten-
tial reuse. He provided the history of
the site which was a landfill from
1961-1971. In 1985, there were
complaints about odors and gas
bubbles and it was subsequently ad-
ded to the EPA National Priorities
List in 1989. The Statement of Work,
Remedial Investigation, and Feasi-
bility Study led to a signed Record of
Decision in 1993 and remedial ac-
tion was constructed in 1996. It was
removed from National Priorities List
in 1997 and undergoes annual moni-
toring and EPA review every 5
years. He explained that superfund
reuse has been discussed since
2013 but progress has been slow
and sporadic. Restrictions on reuse
preclude any activities that could
damage the landfill cap. Minot Park
District is interested in building an
18-hole disc golf course, mountain
bike trails, and cross-country trails,
however, it is in violation the current
Record of Decision, which is to
minimize any and all access to the
site. To move forward, the EPA at-
torney will take a motion through
Federal Court setting out what the
City wants to do and the EPA’s opin-
ion on whether or not the remedy
will remain protective. He said, there
are several documents that must be
in place before this can happen. The
EPA is currently working on a draft
Explanation of Significant Difference
(ESD) and drafting an agreement to
satisfy the Consent Decree State-
ment of Work. They plan to have the
ESD signed by September 30th.
The Park District is also working on
a MOU with the City. Mayor Sipma
said he is highly supportive of any
opportunity to move forward with
reuse of the superfund site. He em-
phasized that it is an easy win to
promote quality of life and would be
a good use of the land. Mayor Sip-
ma moved Evans seconded and
was carried unanimously to adopt
resolution no. 3665 granting support
for City staff to work diligently with
the EPA and move forward to reuse
the Minot Superfund Site. There be-
ing no further business, Olson
moved Jantzer seconded and car-
ried unanimously to adjourn the
meeting at 7:03 pm
