Members Present: Evans, Jantzer,

Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Ross, Sip-

ma

Members Absent: None

Mayor Sipma presiding and led the

City Council in the Pledge of Allegi-

ance

Mayor Sipma described some of his

meetings and activities over the past

month. He also said, there were

numerous phone calls, e-mails, and

individual contact concerning City

business.

He then addressed an issue that

took place during the Magic City

Equality flag raising. He said, the is-

sue regarding the size of the flag

was immediately identified and was

taken down right away and replaced

with a flag of the correct size.

Interim City Manager, David Lake-

field, began his report by listing up-

coming meetings. The Chamber

Board meeting September 15th,

NDLC Virtual Annual Business

meeting September 15th, MAGIC

Fund September 18th, City Council

September 21st, Chamber Annual

Meeting September 23rd, NDLC Vir-

tual Annual Meeting September

24th-26th, Souris River Joint Board

October 1st, and City Council Oc-

tober 5th.

He continued with updates on NDR

projects including Blu on Broadway,

which has the foundation laid and is

laying steel in the basement. The

TIF is underway with street and utili-

ty improvements on 1st Street. The

City Hall project is undergoing an

appraisal the following week and

they are preparing for negotiations.

The Center for Technical Education

is awaiting the release of funds from

HUD and anticipating the approval

of the environmental review later in

the month.

He discussed additional projects tak-

ing place around the city including

the 31st Ave SE roundabout. He

said, the crews finished pouring con-

crete the previous week but they will

continue with curb and gutter. They

hope to have all pavement laid by

the end of the month. The 10th Ave

SE and 31st intersection is now

open however, 31st Avenue to 37th

Avenue is closed. The storm sewer

installation is complete on 10th Ave-

nue SE and roads are being built.

They will continue to install storm

sewer to the west on 32nd and 34th

and expect completion of the project

by the end of October.

Phase MI-1 of Flood Control contin-

ues with staining on the dry side of

the floodwall and the base course of

asphalt pavement on 4th Avenue is

nearly complete. Phase MI-2/3 has

reached substantial completion. The

closure structure needs to be

stained and punch list items contin-

ue to be addressed.

He briefly discussed the Census by

saying, Minot has a 67% response

rate compared to a state response

rate of 64.2% and a national rate of

65.3%.

He provided some financial updates

and said he is optimistic of budget

savings at this point. The General

Fund revenue is tracking slightly

above budget, General Fund ex-

pense is tracking 5% below budget,

and sales tax revenues are tracking

as budgeted.

Mr. Lakefield provided additional in-

formation about the software up-

grade which is conducting end-user

training the following day. He said,

the financial modules of the program

will go live October 1st.

He said the bond sale, which was

Olson moved Evans seconded and

after discussion carried unanimously

to place and pass ordinance 5525

on first reading amending section

5-1 of the City of Minot Code of Or-

dinances by adding a definition for

“movie theater” and enacting a new

subsection, subsection (18) to sec-

tion 5-16 of chapter 5, article II

(licenses), to be titled “movie

theater.”

Olson said that during the first read-

ing of the ordinance, she mentioned

her preference for the movie theater

to consider no alcohol during

G-rated movies or that a specific

family time be designated. She also

encouraged the public to share their

feelings on the issue with the movie

theater.

Podrygula said he discussed res-

trictions with the City Attorney, in-

cluding limiting alcohol to certain

areas of the theater. After their dis-

cussion he realized that a specific

area for consumption is too similar

to a bar and has brought up compli-

cations in the past.

City Attorney Hendershot elaborated

by saying, the City Council could

add restrictions. She said this ordi-

nance is similar to a Supper Club

license which requires verification of

gross annual food sales. The Movie

Theater license limits patrons to one

drink at a time to restrict sharing.

The Police Department can also do

compliance checks consistent with

state law.

Evans said, this ordinance allows

flexibility to adapt to customer’s

desires. As a Council, they have au-

thority over specific businesses who

apply for the license.

Pitner shared that he has no

grievances over the change.

Currently, restaurants serve alcohol

while families are present so this

doesn’t seem out of line.

Podrygula said, he is not keen on

the spread of alcohol, however, as

an economic issue, if this will keep

theaters in business, it seems fine.

He encouraged the owners to act

respectfully and responsibly.

Olson moved the City Council pass

ordinance no. 5525 on first reading.

Motion seconded by Evans and car-

ried by the following roll call vote:

ayes: Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Pitner,

Podrygula, Ross, Sipma; nays:

none.

Pitner moved Ross seconded and

after discussion was carried unani-

mously to approve the request from

American Multi-Cinema, Inc dba

AMC Dakota Square 9, for a Movie

Theater License operating at 2400

10th Street SW, Suite 604.

Evans called upon Kevin Jensen,

General Manager of AMC Dakota

Square 9, to explain his experience

serving alcohol in theaters and

AMC’s operating procedures.

Mr. Jensen described his experience

working at theaters in Detroit and

said they never ran into any alcohol

related issues. AMC has strict re-

quirements for bartenders and

managers which will ensure compli-

ance with state law. They also have

a company policy of only allowing

two drinks per customer per day,

signified using wristbands.

Olson moved Evans seconded and

was carried unanimously to approve

the salvage agreement with Ted

Mertz for an oil tank including oil in

the tank on property acquired by the

located at 215 14th Street NE,

Minot, ND.

Pitner moved Jantzer seconded and

was carried unanimously to approve

the Construction Engineering

Amendment with Houston Engineer-

ing for the Sundre Water Line Boost-

er Station and Reservoir for a not to

exceed amount of $9,006.26.

Olson moved Pitner seconded and

was carried unanimously to approve

the construction engineering con-

tract amendment with Houston En-

gineering for SWIF D for a not to

exceed amount of $98,000; place

and pass ordinance 5528 on first

reading for the engineering amend-

ment.

Olson moved Evans seconded and

carried unanimously to approve the

contract amendment with

Ackerman-Estvold for Storm Sewer

District 123, 10th Street SW.

The City Council held a public hear-

ing to consider an additional 18

blocks be included in the Renais-

sance Zone as recommended by the

Renaissance Zone Review Board.

No one appeared on behalf of the

request.

Pitner moved Jantzer seconded and

was carried unanimously to close

the public hearing and add Blocks

1D through 18D to the Minot Renais-

sance Zone for new development

and rehabilitation purposes.

The City Council held a public hear-

ing on the proposed 2021 budget.

City Council President, Lisa Olson,

read her letter to the Council and the

public.

Cindy Sessions, a Minot resident,

asked for the Fire Chief’s opinion on

delaying the northwest Fire Station.

She expressed concerns regarding

all of the new construction in that

area and how it would affect

response times.

Mayor Sipma explained that half of

the construction would be funded

this year and half next year. If the

economic climate improves and

sales tax collections increase, there

is enough flexibility in the budget to

fully fund the Fire Station this year.

He also mentioned that Minot is

currently rated an ISO 2 which is the

second-best rating possible. Before

Station 4 was built and staffing prin-

ciples improved, Minot was an ISO 4

rating.

Mr. Lakefield said, economic uncer-

tainty led to the delay. Hub City

funding is dependent on oil revenue

so as revenues declined at the be-

ginning of the year they were con-

cerned about starting a project while

being unable to fully fund it to com-

pletion. It is partially funded and if

the circumstances change, they will

be able to move the project forward

sooner.

There being no further comments,

Pitner moved Ross seconded and

after discussion carried unanimously

to close the public hearing and place

and pass ordinance 5529 on first

reading to adopt the 2021 annual

budget.

Pitner reminded that the community

can help move projects forward by

shopping locally and contributing

sales tax dollars.

Mayor Sipma pointed out that of the

$143 million total budget only about

$25 million is made up by property

taxes. There have been years of

planning and building reserves for

NAWS, Flood Control and the NDR

grant that make up a bulk of the

budget. He also mentioned that

sales tax estimates were conserva-

tive but if the numbers improve, pro-

jects can be addressed sooner.

Donita Magnuson, Simeon Wad-

dington, Steve Hamilton, Josiah

Roise, Russell Shower, Eli Wad-

dington, Wendy Walker, Mr. Walker,

Nancy Bommelman Bruce, Elijah

Roise, Cindy Sessions, Trent Wad-

dington, and Adam Wilbur came for-

ward to express their anger over the

Mayor’s participation in flying the

LGBTQ+ flag in front of City Hall.

Helen Otto, of 4921 County Road 19

S, came forward regarding zoning of

her property. She said she is unable

to refinance her home because zon-

ing of the property changed from

Residential to Light Industrial when it

switched hands from the County to

the City. She said she had spoken to

Principal Planner, Lance Lang but

he has retired so she wanted to

know the status of the rezoning.

Mayor Sipma explained that many

changes took place in 2012 that are

now being addressed. He asked Mr.

Billingsley to provide an update.

Mr. Billingsley, Community &

Economic Development Director,

stated, a public hearing is scheduled

for the next Planning Commission

meeting, which is early October. The

issue will then go to Council during

the second October meeting and will

take two readings for the zoning to

be changed.

Mr. Lakefield pointed out that when

the issued was identified, it affected

multiple properties which will all be

addressed at once.

Assistant Public Works Director, Ja-

son Sorenson, presented additional

information to the Council regarding

the potential recycling program. He

provided diagrams of the existing fa-

cility and future expansion and

posed options to consider concern-

ing the entrance of the landfill. He

shared concept drawings as well as

construction estimates and potential

timeline.

The Council discussed potential

funding sources, the availability of

reserves and the traffic layout if the

entrance was relocated.

Evans moved Podrygula seconded

and after discussion carried unani-

mously to authorize the Assistant

Public Works Director to negotiate a

scope and fee schedule with CPS

Engineering and return to City Coun-

cil no later than December 31, 2020

with a contract for the design and

plan of a recycling transfer facility

and a new landfill entrance along

with any budget amendments need-

ed to transfer funds from reserves to

appropriate accounts.

Mayor Sipma asked about a re-

quirement for an RFQ. Mr. Sorenson

stated, CPS Engineering was al-

ready chosen through an RFQ pro-

cess and currently has a Task Order

Agreement. The motion allows him

to negotiate a scope and fee of the

new project which will be brought

back to Council for approval.

There being no further business,

Ross moved Pitner seconded and

carried unanimously to adjourn the

meeting at 7:57 pm
