Harold Steward began the discus-
sion letting the council and public
know the presentation is just infor-
mation at this point and the City
Council will be asked to take action
on this item possibly in May.
Brian Billingsley also reiterated that
a public hearing would be held in
May. He then provided the City
Council and public information on
the M Building located in Downtown
Minot. The building was built in 1962
but has been closed for 20 years.
The renovations for the M Building
are extensive but Epic hopes to in-
clude parking, an exercise room,
storage, apartments and condos,
along with commercial space. The M
Building would be considered a
blighted property and needing reha-
bilitation which makes it eligible for a
TIF.
Alderwoman Olson inquired about
the other taxing authorities such as
the Minot Public School District and
Ward County. Brian mentioned that
it is up to those entities on if they
want to participate or opt out. He
also mentioned that it would only
need the approval of the one school
district the building is located in.
David Lakefield mentioned that the
City of Minot’s bond company, PFM,
was looking into the EPIC TIF also.
Mayor Sipma asked about TIFS and
the usage of them in other communi-
ties in ND. Dave mentioned that the
process might be new to Minot but
EPIC has done others in communi-
ties located in ND.
Blake Nybakken, representing EPIC,
discussed the complete rehabilita-
tion of the building. He mentioned
that the building is currently as-
sessed at $500,000 which equals
out to $9,000/year in property taxes.
It will be a mixed use building for
commercial and residential space.
TIF agreements are a good way to
leverage private investment and it is
critical for this project to move for-
ward. The timeframe for the project
would be Fall of 2023 completion
and the apartments would be market
rate apartments.
Todd Berning, representing EPIC,
spoke on the interest the company
has with Minot because of 3 upcom-
ing projects. Three major things
have made it so Minot is a good in-
vestment including Trinity moving
forward with new development, the
school bond passing, and the Minot
Air Force Base.
Mayor Sipma discussed how a TIF
of 20 years could be deemed too
long but that is how long the building
has sat empty. Alderman Ross
asked Todd if EPIC could do this
without the TIF and the answer was
no because the demolition and as-
bestos abatement will cost over $3
million.
There were no personal appear-
ances.
Alderman Jantzer wanted to congra-
tulate MACEDC on winning the Dis-
tinguished Civilian Humanitarian
Award.
Finance Director, David Lakefield,
introduced Melody Shelkey as the
new City Treasurer. She is replacing
the current City Treasurer, Penny
Johnson, who is retiring.
Mayor Sipma discussed how with
melting snow and weather condi-
tions such as wind land around the
Landfill will need to be cleaned up
and encouraged residents to help
around their neighborhood with
clean up.
There being no further business,
Alderman Pitner moved the City
Council meeting be adjourned. Mo-
tion seconded by Alderman Ross
and carried unanimously. Meeting
adjourned at 6:33 pm.
