SCHEDULED MEETING –

OCTOBER 4, 2021 AT 5:30 P.M.

Members Present: Evans, Jantzer,

Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Ross,

Sipma

Members Absent: None

Mayor Sipma presiding and led the

City Council in the Pledge of

Allegiance.

Lisa Clute, Executive Officer of First

District Health Unit, provided an

update to the Council regarding

COVID-19. She said, there are

currently 302 active cases in Ward

County, whereas last year at this

time, there were 185. The 14-day

positivity rate is 8.3%. The

spreadsheet she presented, also included

daily statistics from the other

counties they serve. Focusing on

Ward county, she said, they have

given 25,919 vaccinations across all

age ranges however, it does not include

statistics from the Air Force

Base. She pointed out that the most

concerning number of cases in the

region are among 0-9-year olds.

She said, there are 157 hospitalized

in the state with 24 in the ICU. She

cautioned though, the numbers don’t

accurately reflect the number of

out-of-state people in the hospital.

She then explained that North Dakota

has had 46,338 COVID cases of

which, 40,790 were unvaccinated individuals

and 5,619 were what is

called breakthrough cases. The vaccine

is preventing deaths and some

hospitalizations but the Delta variant

came along after the original vaccine

and has caused many breakthrough

cases. She then provided an update

on vaccination status. Individuals

who received the Pfizer vaccine, and

are 65 or older or have one or more

underlying health condition, can get

a booster dose six months after receiving

the second shot. The FDA

will be looking at possible recommendations

for a booster with

Moderna. They will also meet with

the FDA later this month on possible

vaccinations available for 5-11-year

olds. She said, they are encouraging

pregnant women to get vaccinated.

North Dakota has had 13 pregnant

women hospitalized with COVID and

all of them were unvaccinated.

She reported for Trinity that hospitalizations

have gone up. They currently

have 30 COVID patients, which is

up from their typical 20-25 range.

Half a dozen of those are in the ICU

and are on ventilators. There has

been rationing of monoclonal treatments

since they know they will not

have enough for everyone that is

eligible. The state has authorized

additional ventilators for Trinity to

increase their capabilities. The

Governor held a press conference

last Friday pleading with people to

get the vaccination and continue

mitigation strategies.

The Mayor described some of his

meetings and activities over the past

month. He also said, there were

numerous other meetings, phone

calls, e-mails, and individual contact

concerning City business.

Mayor Proclaimed Oct. 3-9 as Fire

Prevention Week

Mayor Proclaimed Oct. 15 as White

Cane Safety Day

The City Manager provided a written

update describing events and activities

for various departments. He also

introduced Jennifer Eckman, the

new Airport Director and said it was

her first day on the job.

The City Attorney submitted a

written report.

Mr. Stewart said, in an attempt to try

and be business friendly, staff went

ahead and put the X-Golf Alcohol

License transfer on the agenda hoping

that all inspections would be

completed and it would be ready for

approval. Unfortunately, that wasn’t

able to be completed. There’s still

one more inspection that’s needed

by City staff to verify the appropriateness

of that transfer. And so

that’s why this has been requested

to be pulled from the agenda. He

stated that if possible, staff will try to

put it on the agenda for the next special

Council meeting next Monday if

it’s ready for that agenda.

A vote was taken on the motion by

Olson, seconded by Evans and carried

by the following roll call vote:

ayes: Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Pitner,

Podrygula, Sipma; nays: Ross.

The City Council held a public hearing

on the Renaissance Zone, which

expires on November 7, 2021. The

State of North Dakota allows the

City to renew its program eligibility

through a resolution for a period not

to exceed 5 years. As a condition of

program approval, the development

plan must be updated and adopted

by the City of Minot and State of ND.

Brian Billingsley, Community &

Economic Development Director,

gave a presentation on the Renaissance

Zone Development Plan and

program extension.

No one appeared on behalf of the

public hearing.

Pitner moved Jantzer seconded and

was carried unanimously to close

the public hearing, approve the City

of Minot Renaissance Zone

Development Plan and authorize

staff to submit the development plan

to the North Dakota Department of

Community Services; adopt resolution

no. 3741 supporting a 5-year

time extension to all active Minot

Renaissance Zone blocks in order to

continue accepting new applications

for benefits.

Olson moved Pitner seconded and

was carried unanimously to approve

the use of remaining grant funds,

approve the amendment to the

Grant Funding Agreement between

the City of Minot and Souris Basin

Planning Council and authorize the

Mayor to sign the amendment.

Stephen Joersz, Traffic Engineer, introduced

Mike Bittner to present the

Broadway Corridor Study to the

Council.

Mr. Bittner explained the importance

of the study considering a third of

Minot’s population and about half of

its’ businesses are within half a mile

of the corridor. He explained that 18

months of hard work went into the

study as well as a great deal of community

involvement. They had a

variety of different ways to get information,

including six focus groups,

specifically with different entities, primarily

property owners, understanding

that some of these improvements

could have some direct impacts

to those directly on the corridor.

They also used social media,

postcards, newsletters, billboards

and virtual open houses. He then

described their findings.

Following the presentation, Jantzer

moved Pitner seconded and was

carried unanimously to accept and

file the Broadway Corridor Study.

City Manager, Harold Stewart, explained

that an issue had come up

which requires some direction from

Council. Before discussion, he provided

a brief synopsis of what is involved

with regards to animal services

and animal control. He explained

that staff has recently received

several public records requests

regarding the Minot Pound

and through the process of responding

to the requests has discovered

there is no current contract relating

to the services. The last record of a

contract was in the 1990’s. Staff

recommends a contract for Animal

Services be secured and needs

direction from the Council as to expectations

of what should be included

in the contract and bid process.

?He then provided a summary of the

types of facilities and partnerships

common in other municipalities. He

described the typical considerations

and challenges when it comes to animal

control. He said, Minot’s current

situation involves a longstanding

partnership with Minot Vet Clinic

who owns and operates what is referred

to as the Minot Pound. The

cost of pound services has ranged

from $30,000 to $45,000 annually

over the last few years and the City

has invested $107,000 to $137,000

per year in Animal Control Officers.

He suggested the Council discuss

and give direction to staff whether or

not to secure a contract for service,

provide details regarding the service

level expectations, and list what considerations

should be included in the

contract.

The Council members agreed that a

written contract should be in place

for animal services.

Pitner asked about the timeframe for

an RFP, to which Mr. Stewart said,

staff could begin drafting an RFP

over the next couple months. They

would issue it for a minimum of six

weeks, then once that’s done it

would go through the approval process.

He said it could take between

three to five months.

The Council mentioned the impending

retirement of the vet at Minot Vet

Clinic and discussed the need to

have a thoughtful methodical process

in place before that time. They

heard from several organizations

concerned about the issue of animal

services so believe it is important to

move forward with an RFP in the

near future.

Chief Klug stated, he met with Minot

Vet Clinic leading up to this conversation

and they indicated they are

willing to negotiate a contract. He

said, the services are already budgeted

in the approved 2022 budget so

he would appreciate more time to issue

an RFP.

Olson moved the Jantzer seconded

and after discussion was carried to

direct staff to negotiate a contract

with Minot Vet Clinic for a 12-month

period to be approved by City Council.

Upon questioning whether the RFP

was included in the motion, Olson

stated, that could be a separate motion

since Evans had some ideas

she may want to include with it.

Mr. Stewart stated, even though the

motion only includes negotiating a

12-month contract, staff will make it

a priority to begin the RFP process.

He said he would make an effort to

engage potential partners in the

conversation so there’s group participation

and will then bring it back to

Council.

A vote was taken on the motion by

Olson, seconded by Jantzer and

carried by the following roll call vote:

ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula,

Ross, Sipma; nays: Evans.

Ross gave a shout out to the Minot

Y’s Men PBR Bull Riding event that

took place over the weekend. He

welcomed them back to Minot and

thanked them for their hard work and

for supporting the mission to raise

money for kids for Triangle Y Camp.

Mayor Sipma said, there is a special

session of the Legislature coming up

in the not too distant future. Details

regarding federal funding for capital

improvement projects are being

released and staff is drawing up

ideas for submissions.

There being no further business,

Pitner moved Ross seconded and

carried unanimously to adjourn the

meeting at 7:28 pm

Renewable Resource Cost

Recovery (2022)

Rates

NOTICE OF OPPORTUNITY FOR

HEARING

October 6, 2021

On September 21, 2021, Northern

States Power Company (NSP) filed

a request for approval of its 2022

Renewable Energy Rider (RER).

The purpose of this rider is to recover,

from NSP North Dakota electric

customers, costs of renewable energy

generation not presently reflected

in retail rates. In this filing, NSP

would recover costs of two previously

approved projects.

The 2022 RER rate would be applied

to all energy billed to each customer

effective January 1, 2022. The

RER rate would increase from

$0.000797 per kWh to $0.001856

per kWh. As a result of the RER rate

change, a residential electrical customer

consuming 750 kWh per

month would experience a bill increase

of $0.79 per month. The issues

to be considered in this

proceeding are:

1. Whether the investments and associated

costs for the resources

qualify for recovery,

2. Whether the incurred costs are

reasonable and prudent,

3. Whether the rate adjustments are

consistent with the terms of NSP’s

tariff, and

4. Whether NSP’s proposed tariff

changes should be approved?

Those interested are invited to comment

on the application in writing.

Persons desiring a hearing must file

a written request identifying their interest

in the proceeding and the reasons

for requesting a hearing. Comments

and requests for hearing must

be received by November 20, 2021.

If deemed appropriate, the Commission

can determine the matter

without a hearing.

and a true-up amount from the

1. Whether the proposed rate adjustment

complies with OTP’s tariff,

the Commission Hearing Room,

12th Floor, State Capitol, Bismarck,

North Dakota 58505.

On August 25, 2021, Basin Electric

Power Cooperative (Basin Electric)

filed with the Commission a request

for a waiver of the requirement that

a functioning light-mitigation technology

system be installed at its

PrairieWinds ND1 wind-powered

electric generation facility located

south of Minot. Light-mitigating technology

system means aircraft detection

lighting system, lighting intensity

dimming solution technology, or a

comparable solution capable of

reducing the impact of nighttime

lighting while maintaining night conspicuity

sufficient to assist aircraft in

with the facilities.

Basin Electric’s request for waiver is

based on safety and security issues

around intercontinental ballistic missile
