Mayor Sipma presiding and led the
City Council in the Pledge of Allegi-
ance
Lisa Clute, Director of First District
Health Unit, provided a COVID up-
date. She said the numbers for
Ward county are trending in the right
direction. The number of active
cases is under 400; deaths in Ward
county is at 144 and the cases per
10,000 have gone down. The 14-day
positivity rate is still in the red zone
at 12.4% and the goal is below 5%
but it is improving. She encouraged
people to continue mitigation efforts.
There has been an increase in mask
wearing since the City’s mandate
and the Governor’s Executive Ord-
ers. They continue to monitor hospi-
tal and funeral home capacity daily
and at this time there is no need for
additional resources. They hope to
see hospitalizations reduced. She
discussed vaccinations and
responded to questions from the
Council.
The Mayor 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. ?
The Mayor then reminded the com-
munity to shop local, not only in
downtown but also bars, restaurants
and hotels throughout Minot. He
suggested purchasing gift cards to
help struggling businesses during
this difficult time.
Evans pointed out that the Mayor’s
role is not a full-time position and
recognized Mayor Sipma for his
leadership and dedication. She said,
he was given emergency powers
which he has diligently and thought-
fully used during the pandemic.
Jantzer moved Ross seconded and
was carried unanimously to confirm
the following Mayoral appointments:
Visit Minot (CVB): Amanda Shap-
pell, Josh Galloway; MAGIC Fund
Screening Committee: Travis
Mowbray; Civil Service Commission:
Pam Karpenko
Acting City Manager, David Lake-
field, said there are only a few dates
to mention in December; the City
Council meeting December 21st and
City offices will be closed December
24th, 25th and January 1st.
He presented highlights from ongo-
ing NDR projects. Zombie homes
continue to be taken care of leaving
only nine remaining. He said, the
Resilient Homebuyer program has
surpassed the goal of forgivable
mortgage loans and they expect to
have about 30 closings by the end of
the year. The project has been a
great success to help LMI house-
holds buy single family homes out-
side flood zone. Buyouts remain on
schedule and are on track to acquire
properties on a timely basis to keep
pace with flood projects’ schedules.
Phase MI-1 of the Flood Control pro-
ject opened the intersection of
Fourth Avenue and Third Street
Northeast to traffic. The temporary
signal at Sixth Avenue and Third
Street Northeast has been removed.
Fourth Avenue is now open to traffic
and roadway work is winding down
for this construction season. The
project’s completion is planned for
2021. Broadway Pump Station pump
verification of operation complete,
which is a major milestone as this
shows in the event of a flood the
new pumps would work to evacuate
rain water and snow melt from the
dry side of the flood protection. The
MI-4A Maple Diversion South Utility
Relocations Flood Protection Project
started in August for relocation of
municipal utilities in advance of flood
protection features proposed as part
of phase MI-4A Maple Diversion
Project. A majority of the buried utili-
ties west of 6th St SW along
Western Ave and 4th Ave SW have
been installed, and the remainder of
the utility relocations (mainly east of
6th St SW) are to be completed in
2021. Western Avenue and 4th Ave-
nue SW near Burdick Expressway
are now open to traffic but roadways
are temporarily surfaced with gravel
for the winter season and will be
paved next construction season. He
warned that the railway crossing
connecting Burdick Expressway to
4th Avenue SW has also been reo-
pened with temporary concrete bar-
riers for added safety, but the area is
a quiet zone and trains will not be
sounding their horns.
Mr. Lakefield reported on future pro-
jects and how staff is preparing for
them. Engineering is working with all
departments to coordinate the pro-
jects included in the 2021-2025 CIP.
They are also drafting and designing
projects in Street Improvements,
Street Sealing, Patching Curb &
Gutter, and Concrete Maintenance.
In addition, staff has spent hundreds
of hours on new Asset Management
Software.
He announced that the Zoning Ordi-
nance updates are now open for
public comment. He provided links
on the City website for the public to
submit comments.
Mr. Lakefield continued with an up-
dated financial projection. He said
that sales tax collections are better
than anticipated when the pandemic
started and the revenue picture is
also better than expected. Though
optimistic, staff continues to manage
budgets aggressively. He provided
an updated chart demonstrating the
difference between the 2020 budget
and forecasted revenue, which indi-
cated the actual variance is not as
bad as they anticipated. Earlier in
the year, projects were delayed to
reduce expenditures but there are
discussions to potentially add those
projects back into their plans. He
also provided the graph of sales tax
collections over the past few years,
which has always been variable.
He concluded his report by saying
City Employee COVID impacts have
greatly improved since the previous
month. They are still utilizing remote
working when necessary but there
are less employees out sick or under
quarantine.
Pitner thanked Mr. Lakefield for fil-
ling in as Acting City Manager over
the past several months.
Mr. Lakefield said Mr. Stewart is be-
ing set up with a computer in antici-
pation of his start date and is excited
to get started.
The City Attorney submitted a writ-
ten report.
The Council held a public hearing to
consider a request to rezone Lot 1 &
2 of Mellum’s First Addition from C1,
to R1, and to amend the Future
Land Use Map of the Comprehen-
sive Plan from “Neighborhood Com-
mercial” to “Low Density Residen-
tial.” No one appeared on behalf of

Pitner moved Jantzer seconded and

sider the Renaissance Zone appli-
cation fromTITA, LLC, represented
by Gabriel Holt, for conditional ap-
proval of a five-year property tax ex-
emption, including improvements on
the property located at 619 N.
Broadway. Evans explained that she
voted in opposition of the application
at the last meeting where there was
a 3-3 split vote. She has since con-
sulted with the applicant and wants
to reconsider her vote.
Evans moved Jantzer seconded and
after discussion was carried to ap-
prove the Renaissance Zone appli-
cation from TITA, LLC, represented
by Gabriel Holt, for conditional ap-
proval of a five-year property tax ex-
emption, including improvements on
the property located at 619 N.
Broadway.
Podrygula said, the memo lists op-
tions for the Council to consider;
send it back to the Renaissance
Zone Review Board for more infor-
mation or deny the application with
“cause.” He asked for an explanation
for what “cause” would be.
The City Attorney said, she was not
the author of the memo but general-
ly the City Council has the ability to
approve or reject an application. If
the specific statute or procedures re-
quires “for cause” finding then the
discussion to deny something would
have to include a reason.
Mr. Billingsley stated, at the previous
meeting he explained the seven cri-
teria that must be met for an appli-
cation to be approved. If evidence
was presented that found the appli-
cant did not meet the criteria, that
would be considered “cause” for the
application to be denied. Upon ques-
tioning by Podrygula, Mr. Billingsley
listed the criteria again: The project
is consistent with the Renaissance
Zone Development Plan, The pro-
ject is consistent with the City of
Minot Comprehensive Plan, The
proposed uses are consistent with
city zoning, The project conforms to
all city ordinances, The property has
not been the beneficiary of a previ-
ous Renaissance Zone project,
Rehabilitation costs exceed 50% of
the current true and full value and At
least 80% of the investment is clas-
sified as capital improvements.
Podrygula asked if the approval is
just ministerial and the Council has
to approve the application. Mr. Bil-
lingsley responded by saying, yes, in
his opinion, since the application
meets the criteria set out, there is no
reason not to approve the applica-
tion. He continued by saying, the
Council has the ability to change the
rules but he does not believe they
should do so in the middle of an ap-
plication.
Podrygula said he is troubled that
the Council doesn’t have a choice.
Evans said they need to revise the
2016 Renaissance Zone Develop-
ment Plan which is now outdated.
There have been additional blocks
added to the Renaissance Zone that
require different criteria. She said
the Renaissance Zone Review
Board will be discussing the
Development Plan at their January
meeting.
Pitner, who abstained from voting on
the application, thanked the Council
for reconsidering the motion. He
said, they have the right to deny an
application but not if it meets the cri-
teria provided. He also mentioned
that the citizen who raised concerns
in an email to the Council was in at-
tendance at the meetings where the
application was discussed and did
not voice those concerns to the
Renaissance Zone Board.
Ross asked why the item was not in-
cluded in the Consent Agenda since
they have no choice but to approve
it. He said it is concerning that it was
brought to Council for consideration
but they have to approve it. Mr. Bil-
lingsley explained that North Dakota
requires a public hearing for a
Renaissance Zone application, at
which time the public can present
evidence as to why they believe it
does not meet the criteria.
Podrygula mentioned concerns that
the application was not thoroughly
discussed at the Renaissance Zone
meetings. He said, the property is in
a visible location and aesthetics are
concerning. He spoke with the appli-
cant regarding specifics about the
project but said the Committee
should look diligently at projects on
Broadway. He then mentioned a
possible moratorium on applications
until the Plan is reviewed.
Mayor Sipma asked when the pro-
perty was last developed, to which
Mr. Billingsley said he would have to
research the information. Mayor Sip-
ma continued by saying, he doesn’t
believe it has been developed since
the 1980’s and the Renaissance
Zone is meant to induce investment.
He said, he supported the applica-
tion at the last meeting and will con-
tinue to support the project.
Evans also mentioned the restricted
covenant on the property and com-
mended the applicant for their
landscaping proposal.
A vote was taken on the motion by
Evans, seconded by Jantzer and
carried by the following roll call vote:
ayes: Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Po-
drygula, Ross, Sipma; nays: none;
abstain: Pitner
Pitner moved Jantzer seconded and
was carried unanimously to approve
a contract with SRF to update the
Railroad Quiet Zone Study and up-
date existing FRA certifications;
place and pass ordinance 5556 on
first reading to amend the 2020 an-
nual budget to increase the sales tax
improvement and engineering plans,
designs, and reviews expenditures
using sales tax improvement cash
reserves.
Acting City Manager Lakefield ex-
plained some background from the
Municipal Prosecution memo by
saying, in 2019 the City Council
budgeted for Municipal Prosecution
services so the City Attorney and
Assistant City Attorney could focus
on providing legal advice to City
leadership, management, and staff.
The process has been successful
but Boppre Law Firm resigned their
services in October. The Attorney’s
Office advertised a request for pro-
posals to fill the vacancy but only re-
ceived one proposal. The Council
may choose to move forward with
the proposal but there are obstacles
to overcome regarding licensing the
individual in North Dakota.
Mr. Lakefield said, they have con-
sidered filling the position as a City
employee but one of the challenges
is space to put an additional employ-
ee. They believe they have identified
some space to work with at this
time. It seems to be the only viable
option, unless the Council wants to
re-bid.
Evans moved the City Council reject
the received proposal for Municipal
Prosecution Services and approve
the Job Description for Staff Attor-
ney I. Motion seconded by Pitner.
At the request of Podrygula, City At-
torney Hendershot provided some
additional background. She said,
most other cities across the state re-
tain law firms to provide legal ser-
vices. The City of Bismarck has one
full-time City Attorney, two Assistant
City Attorneys, a paralegal and two
administrative assistants. The City
of Fargo retains a firm as well as
three full-time City Attorneys, a
full-time prosecutor, and administra-
tive assistants. Other cities have one
firm with multiple attorneys providing
legal services. She continued by
saying, for the last two years, the
City of Minot has been using a con-
tract prosecutor to handle Municipal
prosecution and they have filled in
when necessary. The two Attorneys
in the office primarily focus on City
business and the administrative as-
sistants help the contract prosecu-
tors with filings. She said, prosecut-
ing at Municipal Court is a full-time
position so without retaining outside
services, one of the current City At-
torney would dedicate all of their
time to prosecuting.
Upon further questioning, City Attor-
ney Hendershot stated, they just
dealt with an attorney on COVID
leave, which left the other attorney
to handle all of the workload. They
have also had a couple maternity
leaves, so having backup is really
important.
Evans moved Pitner seconded and
was carried unanimously to place
and pass ordinance 5557 on first
reading to amend the 2021 annual
budget for the additional full-time po-
sition.
Personal Appearances: Aaron Moss,
representing the North Dakota
Fraternal Order of Police, Souris
Valley Regional Lodge #7, offered
gratitude for allowing Minot Police
Department to partner for the “Stuff
a Squad Car” event. They exceeded
collections of toys from the previous
year and were grateful the event
could continue even through the
pandemic. He thanked the City and
the community for all of their sup-
port. He also mentioned the upcom-
ing Cops & Kids event which has
been modified this year to maintain
social distance and other safety pre-
cautions.
Upon questioning by Evans, Officer
Moss explained that Cops & Kids
provides an opportunity for the
Lodge to partner with children to
shop for Christmas gifts. The tradi-
tional gathering, which usually at-
tracts about 200 participants, won’t
take place this year but children
have provided ‘wish list’ items for
volunteers to order and deliver
through a touchless process.
Mayor Sipma thanked Chief Klug
and all of the volunteers and said
their outreach programs are appre-
ciated.
Mayor Sipma stated, documents
were provided to the City Council,
including a ballot to vote in support
of the merger between MADC and
the Chamber or to reject the propo-
sal. The City of Minot is a member
of both organizations and as the
liaison to MADC he said, he could
answer any questions.
Jantzer moved Ross seconded and
after discussion was carried unani-
mously to accept the merger of
MADC into the Minot Area Chamber
of Commerce and submit the ballot.
Jantzer said, he has followed the
process throughout their discussions
and believes that both Boards and
staff have concluded it makes
sense. He urged the Council to sup-
port the merger.
Podrygula asked if the City has
representation on the Chamber of
Commerce Board and if there is any
opposition to the merger.
Jantzer said the City Manager has
served as an ex-officio member on
the Chamber of Commerce Board
and he is the ex-officio member for
Task Force 21.
Mayor Sipma responded regarding
opposition to the proposal by saying,
there was some concern that identity
would be lost. He explained that the
idea re-emerged through the IEDC
white papers but there was some
misunderstanding that the City
Council directed the merger, which
is not the case. He said,
Bismarck/Mandan recently merged
their two organizations and were
able to share their experience and
offer suggestions.
Ross pointed out that one Director
on the proposed Board would be ap-
pointed by the Minot City Council.
He asked if they would be ex-officio
or a voting member, to which the
Mayor responded by saying, a vot-
ing member.
Pitner said, the current contract
between the City and MADC expires
December 31st He asked if there
would be a new agreement.
Mr. Lakefield said, he is meeting
with the Acting Director later in the
week to discuss a new agreement. It
will be brought to Council for con-
sideration.
There being no further business,
Pitner moved Ross seconded and
carried unanimously to adjourn the
meeting at 7:23 pm
