There were no personal appear-

ances. Closed Loop Partners, an in-

vestment firm, represented by Bob

Anderson and Stephen Klemann

presented another recycling option

to the City of Minot. Bob Anderson

lead the presentation discussing the

circular economy consisting of con-

suming, collecting, processing, and

designing & manufacturing. They

were presenting the City of Minot

with the option of a localized MRF

(Materials Recovery Facility), which

is designed to empower communi-

ties and independent haulers.

Stephen Klemman discussed the

possibility of a tailored production fa-

cility for the City of Minot that would

process 4,000 – 5,000 tons per year.

He talked about how this would el-

iminate transferring, create local

jobs, Minot will maintain full control

of the program, and the facility can

be designed for expansion and

growth. He also stated that the

timeline should not be delayed by

changing to a localized MRF. Mayor

Sipma asked them about the market

for the deliverables and Bob was

able to say that now the markets are

favorable. He also wanted to know

about the prevention method for the

non-recyclable materials that will go

through the system. Bob and

Stephen were able to say that the

best Minot can do is educate the

public on what is expected in the re-

cycling. Residue costs can happen

but there is a low chance of damag-

ing the system with the materials the

system is made of. Alderwoman

Evans asked the representatives

from Closed Loop Partners about

the products that can be recycled

with this equipment. They respond-

ed by stating the City of Minot can

go up to 10 commodities with the

system that would best fit the City

now but there can be growth to that

system. Alderman Ross inquired if

Closed Loop Partners has worked

with a community the size of Minot.

They stated that the size of our com-

munity is the size they are looking to

get started into this process. Alder-

man Ross also wanted to know if the

City of Minot would be responsible

to create the relationships and Bob

just mentioned that this would be a

discussion for the City of Minot and

Closed Loop Partners to discuss.

Alderman Podrygula mentioned that

we have always been told we don’t

have the volume, market, and we

are too far from buyers. Bob

responded with saying that Closed

Loop Partners wants to break the

current model of how recycling has

been. It is important to keep the

process simple and cheap and elim-

inate some of the other process.

Alderwoman Olson was intrigued by

what was discussed tonight and en-

courage further conversations about

this. Jason Sorenson, Assistant

Public Works Director, stated that

this is newer to the industry and re-

latable to a city our size. Alderwom-

an Evans also expressed that she

would like to keep the Summer 2023

timeline. Mayor Sipma also men-

tioned that the City Council is look-

ing into doing community recognition

for teams and students this year.

Alderman Podrygula attended the

County Planning Commission meet-

ing, Minot Commission on Aging

meeting, an Area Resource Council

meeting, and an active shooter table

top discussion. Alderwoman Olson

had no committees to report on but

did attend a document review team

meeting for the new high school.

Alderwoman Evans attended the Li-

brary Board Meeting, County Plan-

ning Commission meeting, and a

Pavement Management meeting.

Mayor Sipma will report on his meet-

ing at the next meeting in the May-

oral Report but did mention that he

attended a Ward County Weed

Board meeting. Alderman Ross at-

tended a Land Ordinance meeting

and has a Zoning Committee meet-

ing coming up. Alderman Jantzer

had no committees to report on this

meeting Alderman Pitner attended

the Visit Minot Board meeting and

his Renaissance Board meeting was

canceled. There being no further

business, Alderman Ross moved the

City Council meeting be adjourned.

Motion seconded by Alderman

Pitner and carried unanimously.

Meeting adjourned at 6:49 pm.

Wheeler, and J Johns.

paid, accepting the bank statements,

and adding the Legion Post 91

Gaming Site Authorization as an

item of new business.

Fennewald/Clark MSP to approve

the March Regular and Special

meeting minute sets as provided.

The auditor asked for member direc-

tion regarding a separate savings

account held specifically named TIF

as the balance does not match fund

or is able to transact properly. All

members agreed to have the past

minutes researched to find out why

the Tif Savings would have been

opened and bring back to the next

regular meeting. Johns/Wheeler

MSP to approve the March Financial

Reports, Payroll totals, and claims to

be paid. The bomb threat that oc-

curred at the school was brought up

resulting in plans to set up a future

table-top discussion where all agen-

cies will be invited to better prepare

for such situations. All members

agreed that an attorney backup

would not be required in case of a

personal leave. Karsten Erdman,

representing Dollar General, was

phoned into the meeting as the busi-

ness is looking to establish commer-

cial location within the City just south

of Highway 2 and was made aware

of restrictions on the desired proper-

ty. Along with that, property owner

request was submitted to the

members for consideration of

release of covenants that exist on

the subject land. Suggestion was

made to hold a public hearing to

give the community an opportunity

to speak towards the development

of Dollar General in city limits.

Dickinson-Aye, Mr. Fennewald-Aye,

Ms. Wheeler-Aye, Ms. Johns-Aye.

Motion passed unanimously. Ac-

cording to the map, 70 signs and

seal machine detouring from having

to hire out services. Motion carried

with all ayes except for Mr. Clark.

The street sweeper also has been

out and running with some difficul-

ties being an older machine but is

cleaning the streets nicely. A cal-

lout for assistance to help a neigh-

boring city on a frozen sewer line

was reported resulting in publics

works responding, a drafted equip-

ment use agreement, and invoicing

for services. No members had

questions. In making attempt to

even out the number of member

seats up at a time for election, the

motion to accept Mr. Fennewald’s

June resignation does not allow for

his position to be listed on the up-

coming ballot as he would have had

to vacate his position 60 days prior

to the publication deadline.

Johns/Gantzer MSP to accept Mr.

Fennewald’s Ward 1 withdrawal of

cation for Devils Fire location was

ing Site Authorization renewal. Due

summary of the Ward County miti-

gation meeting that was held for ha-

zard planning in the community.
