The City Manager, Harold Stewart,

did a presentation on Business In-

centive Agreements. BIA’s are the

use of public funds to incentivize lo-

cal business ventures. He discussed

the requirements by state law of a

BIA, one being. A BIA should always

create jobs, term balances of public

investment and should ensure ac-

countability. The presentation ended

with the idea of what the minimum

standard should be for the City of

Minot in terms of years for the

agreement.

Alderwoman Evans asked for the

City Manager walk through a

10-year term vs. a 5-year minimum

term. Harold said that he is suppor-

tive of the BIA with the Intermodal

Port. This particular agreement has

a purchase option within the existing

lease with the amount of the sale al-

ready set. The agreement has some

guarantee and commitment of jobs

created bud does not have any out-

lined private sector funds. Harold

believed that a 5-year agreement is

a little light and a 10-year agreement

would provide more return on the

funds.

Alderman Jantzer proposed the

question son whether the agreement

had to be a 5-year or a 10-year?

Harold replied with the fact the

agreement cannot go below a 5-year

term but anything above that is

negotiable with MACEDC. The City

of Minot staff recommend a 10-year

agreement but MACEDC is looking

for a 5-year agreement.

Alderwoman Evans asked John

MacMartin if he could explain on

behalf of the MACEDC why 5 years

and why it would be beneficial for

the community. John spoke about

how the 5-year term would be more

comparable to other agreements.

MACEDC after the foreclosure and

bankruptcy. This is about the benefit

of moving products but with mother

nature and supply chain issues this

can make the business volatile.

Alderman Pitner wanting to find out

if John new if the current operator at

the port had weighed in on a 5-year

term vs a 10-year term. John

responded with the operator would

like a 5-year agreement because he

is weighing all his business costs.

Alderman

Podrygula inquired on if the agree-

ment terms could be altered if need-

ed after the agreement is in place.

John said that you can change the

agreement but with the agreement

both parties want to know what they

are getting into.

Alderman Pitner motioned for the

City Council approves a 10-year

agreement and the assignment in

the interest of the lease. The motion

was seconded by Alderwoman

Evans.

Alderman Pitner understands

MACEDC’s position but it is the

lowest standard and we can hold to

a higher standard as a council. Ald-

erwoman Evans spoke about how

the City Manager and staff have tak-

en the time to make the case on the

10-year agreement and that is why

she supports this motion.

Alderman Podrygula mentioned that

MACEDC has done great work but

there is also an obligation to the staff

recommendations. He stated that

city staff should speak with other ci-

ties to about common framework for

future Business Incentive Agree-

ments. Alderman Podrygula see the

significance of this project for the

state and the city and will support

the 10-year agreement.

Alderwoman Olson is torn between

the staff recommendations and the

MACEDC recommendations. She

thought 10-years seemed like a long

time for this particular agreement

and would support a 5-year term.

Alderman Jantzer also stated that

the state statue is there for a reason.

He thought all of these agreements

should be considered separately

and he was willing to accept a

5-year term for this particular agree-

ment. Alderman Ross recognized

that the staff has done their home-

work but this is an opportunity to

send a message that we are willing

to work with other business and he

was in support of the 5-year agree-

ment.

Mayor Sipma has sat on the MA-

CEDC board and has listened to

many discussions on 5-year vs

10-year. He mentioned two letters

John provided to the council two

State Commissioners that supported

the 5-year agreement. He said it is

hard to always measure by job

growth. The Mayor mentioned that

this is about creating relationships,

finding an operator, and that BNSF

wants this project in Minot. He was

in support of the 5-year term.

The City Attorney, Kelly Hendershot,

clarified that the second part of the

motion should be to approve the

lease amendment conditioned on

the assignment to LPND1. Alderman

Pitner and Alderwoman Olson

agreed. The motion carried by the

following roll call vote: ayes: Evans,

Pitner, Podrygula; nays: Jantzer, Ol-

son, Ross, Sipma. The Mayor an-

nounced the motion failed and

looked to the council for another mo-

tion.

Alderman Jantzer made a motion for

the City Council to approve a 5-year

agreement and approve the lease

amendment conditioned on the as-

signment to LPND1. Motion was

seconded by Alderwoman Olson

and carried by the following roll call

vote: ayes: Evans, Jantzer, Olson,

Pitner, Podrygula, Ross, Sipma;

nays: none.

Chief John Klug from the Minot Pol-

ice Department gave the City Coun-

cil an update on his staff in relations

to COVID. He also mentioned that

the K-9 Donation Project will be

opening and there would be more in-

formation to come. Mayor Sipma

asked John about how much adding

another K-9 is to the department.

Chief Klug responded with about

$36,000 in equipment and vehicle

and about $32,000 for theK-9 and

training. Alderman Podrygula

responded with appreciation for all

the hard work of the PD staff and the

update.

John MacMartin presented the

semi-annual MACEDC presentation.

He discussed how they are attract-

ing private sector jobs such as the

Intermodal Port. John spoke about

the Minot Air Force Base and Task

Force 21. The MACEDC is respond-

ing to RFP’s, they are giving new

businesses assistance, they are

supporting the Minot One Brand and

they have a new job training grant

program with Job Service of ND. For

the future and on-going planning,

MACEDC is working on their stra-

tegic plan, they are promoting the

City of Minot, they are working on

their key initiatives, and LOIS has a

presence online now for two years.

Lastly, John mentioned the

MACEDC’s new and current efforts

such as the CTE, Start-Up Minot,

BR&E they are interviewing 5

businesses a month, and MAGIC

Fund applications.

Alderwoman Evans inquired about if

you can track engagement with

LOIS. John said that Jaime is work-

ing on the input into LOIS and is try-

ing to extract reports. The reports on

LOIS are generic so the LOIS staff is

trying to improve on the reporting

process.

Alderman Podrygula thanked John

for the report because it was nice to

see the data shared and he is

pleased with the relationship

between MACEDC and the City of

Minot. Alderwoman Evans appreci-

ated the transparency and efforts of

the MACEDC.

Alderwoman Evans had nothing to

report.

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS

ADVANCED TRAFFIC

MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

CITY PROJECT 4670

The City of Minot, North Dakota, is

requesting “Proposals” from quali-

fied vendors to procure an Advanced

Traffic Management System

(ATMS) central software package.

Interested vendors must submit six

(6) bound copies and one digital

copy of their proposals by 4:00 pm,

March 4, 2022 to:

City of Minot Engineering

Department

1025 31st Street SE

Minot, ND 58701

Attn: Stephen Joersz,

Traffic Engineer

Proposals should be marked:

“Proposals Submittal for Advanced

Traffic Management System”

Provide the City of Minot with the fol-

lowing services and software: Ad-

vanced Traffic Management System

software, on-site technical support,

remote technical support, initial set-

up of ATMS system, ability for the

system to expand and to provide

service and maintenance agree-

ments.

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 Proposals is

available in the City Engineering

Department Office, City of Minot
