behalf of the City. Motion seconded

by Alderwoman Olson and carried

by the following roll call vote: ayes:

Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Po-

drygula, Ross, Sipma; nays: none.

Alderman Ross moved the City

Council approve the request to

amend 2022 annual budget to in-

crease fire control operational sup-

plies for physical fitness equipment

to be used by the firefighters with a

donation from Scheels. Motion

seconded by Alderwoman Olson

and carried by the following roll call

vote: ayes: Evans, Jantzer, Olson,

Pitner, Podrygula, Ross, Sipma;

nays: none.

Alderman Ross moved the City

Council approve the contract of

boarding the City of Minot’s inmates

with Ward County and authorize the

Mayor and Finance Director to sign

the contract. Motion seconded by

Alderwoman Olson and carried by

the following roll call vote: ayes:

Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Po-

drygula, Ross, Sipma; nays: none.

Mayor Sipma stated that SRJB is

giving the option to repair the south

side of the bridge for $1.6 million.

City of Minot would be responsible

for the north side of the bridge. Dan

Jonasson thought that it would be

one million +/- for the north side

construction. Alderwoman Olson

asked when the last time the bridge

was in use. Dan Jonasson stated

that it was last accessed over 2

years ago and was originally closed

with the MI-1 flood project. Alderman

Ross wanted to confirm with Dan

that the bridge reconstruction on the

north side would not have to be

completed at the same time as the

south side. Dan just established that

the SRJB is just looking for the com-

mitment to the bridge before they

repair the south side. SRJB funding

is 65% State Water Commission

and 35% City flood dollars. Mayor

Sipma and Dan Jonasson said the

City of Minot would have to work

with BNSF on a new lease agree-

ment.

Alderwoman Evans made a motion

for the City of Minot to retain access

to the Anne Street Bridge and add it

back to the CIP. The motion was

seconded by Alderman Podrygula.

Alderman Pitner inquired about the

process with BNSF and permitting.

Dan Jonasson said he could start

some discussion in the monthly

meetings he has with BNSF. Alder-

man Ross asked if any discussions

with BNSF had happened and Dan

could not think of any at this time.

Mayor Sipma reiterated that he has

spoken with BNSF about possible

cost share and they are not interest-

ed.

Mayor Sipma opened discussion to

public. Josh Wolsky with the Down-

town Business Professional Associ-

ation, had a presentation. He dis-

cussed the history of the bridge, how

it benefits the downtown district and

school district. Josh spoke of the

possibility to connect it to a green

space if the City of Minot is able to

acquire certain land. He also men-

tioned different ideas of funding of

the bridge and possible revenue for

downtown businesses with the

pedestrian access to the north side

of Minot.

Logan Vettel spoke of the history of

Anne Street Bridge, his personal

reasons for wanting the bridge to

remain, and what the bridge means

to the community. Shawn Antani

also spoke to the council about the

benefits to maintaining the bridge for

pedestrians. Ryan Ackerman stated

how personally he would love to

keep the bridge but professionally he

is unsure if the BNSF would permit

this. He spoke about the SRJB can-

not say that 1st Ave will be

developed fully with MREFPP. The

railroads have indicated no willing-

ness to sell right of way or lad west

of Main Street and South of the

BNSF mainline. Ryan feels this is

out of the scope of the flood plan. He

also noted that the more we spend,

the longer it takes to complete, and

at whose expense. Alderman Pitner

asked Ryan Ackerman if he could

confirm if the downtown flood pro-

tection would be flood walls or

levees. Ryan stated the area would

be protected primarily with levees.

Shannon Straight spoke about

greater access with the bridge for

the north side of Minot and down-

town, how it is a connection in Minot.

Shannon Straight brought up the

loss of one bridge with MI-5 near the

Ben’s Tavern area.

Mayor Sipma said that through

conversations with BNSF there is no

interest in a design of a new bridge.

The City Manager, Harold Stewart,

brought up the fact that the council is

facing 2 values in conflict

efficiency/effectiveness

vsaccountability/responsibility. He

wanted the council to know that the

City Council has brought significant

attention to downtown with past pro-

ject and ongoing projects. There

was discussion by the council

members of being stewards of tax-

payer dollars. Alderman Pitner

spoke about changes in the com-

munity with the school bond appro-

val and the public survey results.

Mayor Sipma expressed the fact that

the longer we draw out the flood

plans the higher the flood insurance

costs are going.

Whereupon a vote was taken on the

above motion by Alderwoman

Evans, seconded by Alderman Po-

drygula and carried by the following

roll call vote: ayes: Evans, Pitner,

Podrygula, Ross; nays: Jantzer, Ol-

son, Sipma.

City Manager, Harold Stewart, stat-

ed that contractors have made signi-

ficant progress and their compliance

time would be extended to the Fri-

day prior to the next regular city

council meeting.

Alderwoman Olson moved the City

Council approve the removal of pay-

roll and human capital management

phase from the ERP Project agree-

ment with Tyler Technologies, Inc.

Motion was seconded by Alderman

Jantzer.

Alderwoman Evans asked the City

Manager what alternatives were in

place. It was mentioned that for now

the old software would work but the

City of Minot will not be able to up-

date the software past December

31, 2022. The project will need to go

to RFP again.

Alderman Podrygula inquired about

if Tyler was going to refund City of

Minot in full including staff time

spent. The City Manager replied that

the city would only get reimbursed

for software/equipment costs and

not for staff/payroll time. Alderman

Podrygula then spoke on the idea of

legal recourse to try to obtain full re-

fund. Kelly Hendershot stated that

she was involved in discussions with

Tyler and that the City of Minot tried

to get the cost refunded for staff time

but in the end, we would only get the

cost for products/software back.

Alderman Podrygula would like to

see future contracts have more at-

tention to the needs of the City of

Minot. Harold responded with exam-

ples of new contracts that are more

beneficial to the City of Minot and in-

clude penalties.

A vote was taken on the above mo-

tion by Alderwoman Olson, second-

ed by Alderman Jantzer and carried

by the following roll call vote: ayes:

Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Po-

drygula, Ross, Sipma; nays: none.

Lance Meyer, City Engineer, intro-

duced Andy Mielke with SRF con-

sulting to do a presentation on Rail-

road Quiet Zones. Quiet zones are

where no routine horn sounds but

emergency horns are allowed. The

study is based on the risk analysis

using the DOT Accident Prediction

Model. He discussed how there are

4 options for improvements. City of

Minot has 8 CP RR crossing that

were considered with 3 recommen-

dations to upgrades. The 3 include:

3rd St SE needing 4 quadrant gates

for $402,000, Central Ave E needing

medians for $103,000, and 3rd

St/Amtrak Depot needing gates and

median for $390,000 for a total pro-

ject cost of $895,000.

Mayor Sipma mentioned the access

cutoff for businesses on Central

Ave. Alderman Podrygula asked the

speaker Andy Mielke to discuss the

volume of fixed horn vs train horn.

Andy mentioned that a fixed horn is

roughly 90-100 decibels and a train

horn is 110 decibels. Reusing Maple

Street equipment was discussed but

the city was told that it is usually not

allowed. Alderwoman Evans in-

quired about how each improvement

plan was figured out and Andy men-

tioned that every crossing was

looked at individually and the risk

was assessed at each place.

Alderman Jantzer motioned the City

Council receive and file the report

and place the Quiet Zone on the up-

coming CIP. The motion was

seconded by Alderman Podrygula.

Leonard Niess, owner of Niess Im-

pressions spoke about the access to

his loading dock being blocked. His

building has no way of getting pro-

duct or equipment out. Niess Im-

pressions is located at 101 Central

Ave. Lance Meyer reiterated that the

railroad has blocked off the access

to his loading dock currently and that

there is no Quiet Zone work on Main

Street and 1st Street NE. Leonard

Niess believes that the Quiet Zone

study might be what triggered the

railroad to cut off access to his alley-

way loading dock area.

Alderman Pitner asked Lance about

the timeline for this and Lance

responded that this could be funded

as early as 2023 on the CIP. Alder-

man Jantzer stated that he wanted

the City of Minot to find a way to

help and/or work with Niess Impres-

sions so that the business can gain

access back to the loading dock.

A vote was taken on the above mo-

tion by Alderman Jantzer, seconded

by Alderman Podrygula and carried

by the following roll call vote: ayes:

Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Po-

drygula, Ross, Sipma; nays: none.

Alderman Jantzer moved the City

Council approved the plans and

specs for bid of building relocation

on MI-5B and allow authorization to

bid. The motion was seconded by

Alderman Ross.

Alderman Podrygula asked Dan Jo-

nasson if this building would be the

only storage for the flood wall stop

logs. Dan replied that this building

would hold a majority of the logs but

the Water Treatment Plant stores

their stop logs on site and there are

a few lift stations that also store on

site. Dan also mentioned that is

more cost effective since the equip-

ment is already at Public Works to

move the stop logs.

A vote was taken on the above mo-

tion by Alderwoman Olson, second-

ed by Alderman Jantzer and carried

by the following roll call vote: ayes:

Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Po-

drygula, Ross, Sipma; nays: none.

Alderwoman Olson moved the City

Council approve the Magic Fund re-

quest from Stevens Welding, ap-

prove the Development Agreement

with Stevens Welding, and authorize

the Mayor and Finance Director to

sign the necessary documents. The

motion was seconded by Alderman

Ross.

Alderwoman Evans wanted to know

how often the City Council approved

funds for entities outside of the City

of Minot. David Lakefield spoke on

this by saying there has not been a

lot of activity with the Magic Fund

but this qualifies since it is in the

Minot trade area.

A vote was taken on the above mo-

tion by Alderwoman Olson, second-

ed by Alderman Ross and carried by

the following roll call vote: ayes:

Evans, Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Po-

drygula, Ross, Sipma; nays: none.

There were no personal appear-

ances.

Alderman Podrygula wanted to clari-

fy that he was not questioning the

Mayor on the BNSF relationship with

the City of Minot. He just wanted to

know if MacBeth had the authority to

speak on the Anne Street Bridge

lease agreement.

Mayor Sipma responded that Mac-

Beth was the Regional Director of

Public Affairs for the BNSF. He

reiterated that the BNSF has had a

close partnership with the City of

Minot and its importance.

Alderman Pitner also expressed the

importance of the relationship

between the City of Minot and BNSF

REQUEST FOR QUALIFICATIONS

2022 PAVEMENT

MANAGEMENT PLAN CITY

PROJECT 4680

The City of Minot, North Dakota, is

requesting “Statements of Qual-

ifications” (SOQ) from consulting

firms to provide services for the

2022 Pavement Management Plan

project, which includes data collec-

tion for the entire City of Minot net-

work of paved City Streets. The data

shall be collected in accordance with

ASTM D6433, and be compatible

with MircoPAVER 7 software. In-

terested firms must submit five (5)

bound copies and one digital copy of

their qualifications by 4:00 pm,

February 18, 2022 to:

City of Minot Engineering Depart-

ment

1025 31st Street SE

Minot, ND 58701

Attn: Lance Meyer, City Engineer

Statements of Qualifications should

be marked: “Qualifications Submittal

for 2022 Pavement Management

Plan”

Provide the City of Minot with the fol-

lowing services: geo-referenced digi-

tal pavement data collection, pave-

ment evaluation of the City of Minot

network of paved streets for Interna-

tional Roughness Index and Pave-

ment Condition Index, update pave-

ment management software data-

base, linkage of pavement evalua-

tion data and digital images to ex-

isting Minot GIS system, database

import into MicroPAVER pavement

management software, Analysis of

Pavement condition scores and

development of condition reports,

and final presentation of report.

The City of Minot is a Title VI com-

munity and requires that all con-

tracts entered into with the City of

Minot comply with all Civil Rights Act

of 1964 Title VI assurances. The as-

surances prohibits discrimination on

the basis of race, color, and national

origin. Specifically, 42 USC 2000d

states that “No person in the United

States shall, on the ground of race,

color, or national origin, be excluded

from participation in, be denied the

benefits of, or be subjected to

discrimination under any program or

activity receiving Federal financial

assistance.” In addition to Title VI,

there are other Nondiscrimination

statutes which include: Section

162(a) of the Federal-Aid Highway

Act of 1973 (23 USC 324) (sex), Age

Discrimination Act of 1975 (age),

and Section 504 of the Rehabilita-

tion Act of 1973/ADA of 1990 (disa-

bility). Taken together, these re-

quirements define an over-arching

Title VI/Nondiscrimination and ADA

Program. Title VI and the additional

Nondiscrimination requirements are

applicable to programs receiving

federal financial assistance due to

the Civil Rights Restoration Act of

1987.

There are two Presidential Executive

Orders that place further emphasis

upon the Title VI protections of race

and national origin. Executive Order

12898 ensures nondiscrimination

against minority populations by

discouraging programs, policies, and

activities with disproportionately high

and adverse human health or en-

vironmental effects on minority and

low-income populations. Executive

Order 13166 directs recipients of

Federal financial assistance that to

ensure compliance with Title VI,

they must take reasonable steps to

ensure that limited English proficien-

cy persons have meaningful access

to their programs.

Detailed information for those in-

terested in submitting SOQs is avail-

able in the City Engineering Depart-

ment Office, City of Minot Public

Works Building, 1025 31st Street

SE, Minot, ND, Monday through Fri-

day between the hours of 8:00 a.m.

and 4:30 p.m. or telephone at (701)

857-4100. SOQs must be delivered

to the City Engineer by 4:00 pm on

February 18, 2022. The City of Minot

reserves the right to reject any and

all SOQs.
