Jason Stordahl, Public Works Director.
DETERMINATION OF A QUORUM:
The Council President Determined a Quorum was present.
1. Operations Update from American Crystal Sugar – Ryan Wall & Chris Patullo
Mr. Ryan Wall informed the Council Doug Emerson, the environmental affairs manager and Mark Nelson,
the Vice-Chair of the Board of Directors and who also farmed in the district were also in attendance. He
then told the Council he was the current Vice President of Administration for American Crystal Sugar, he
was the former factory manager of the East Grand Forks location, he had been with the company for 20
years and worked in four of the factory locations. Mr. Chris Patullo introduced himself as the Director of
Operations, he ran the East Grand Forks and Drayton factories, he had been with the company for 22
years, and worked at all the factories except for the Moorhead factory. Mr. Doug Emerson introduced
himself as the environmental affairs manager for American Crystal Sugar and he had been with the
company for 15 years in this position.
Mr. Wall said he wanted to give an update about last year’s crop and harvest, how operations went through
the campaign process, what the planting outlook was for this spring, and some of the projects they have
completed in East Grand Forks and what might be done in the future. He continued saying they were able
to get into the fields early in 2024, they gained about 8 growing days, and that resulted in a record crop
because they were able to harvest 13.2 million tons of beets harvested from 412,000 acres. He stated they
started pre-harvest on August 13th, full harvest started October 3rd, and reminded the Council pre-harvest
allowed them to start up the factories. He reviewed how the record harvest and sugar content reflected
the changes in the agricultural practices and seed varieties. He said it was a good crop and a great harvest.
Work Session April 8, 2025
Mr. Wall told the Council because of the record harvest they had to increase their slicing rates, they were
capped on the amount of tons they were able to slice at each factory, they were looking at 280 days of
campaign this year, and there was about 40 days left so they would be finishing up around May 20th which
was one of the longest campaigns they ever had. He stated how in the past they had struggled with staffing
but currently that was not the case. He said they had a high performing workforce, they were almost fully
staffed, the company as a whole had about 1700 employees, and this week they were only short about 30
positions, which was a great spot for them to be in because about two years ago that number was closer to
200 open positions. He explained they had some challenges with storage of beets, so their average sugar
content was at 18.3%.
Mr. Wall continued with the planting outlook, they were expecting planting to start around April 15th, so
they were expecting an early plant date, and another good crop. He said they were expecting 400,000
acres were going to be planted, and they had an allocation of acres that could be planted which was set by
the USDA. He added in the last 20 years they had not filled that allocation because of improved farming
practices, and they were able to raise more tons per acre, reducing the overall number of acres needed to
be planted which was why they were planning for the 400,000 acres to be planted.
Mr. Wall moved on to projects and last year in East Grand Forks they installed a new pond aeration system
for storm water treatment. He stated before this pond was covered and the contents were slowly fed into
a treatment system, but with a multi-million dollar system they were able to treat the water as it entered
the pond system. He said the other projects listed were steam economy projects, they were a very heavy
energy user, and they continued to invest to increase efficiency while reducing steam demand. He added
they would need to be replacing the pond cover because it has become compromised, a temporary cover
was added, and the cover would be replaced over the summer. He said they were also looking at a wet
hopper extension and explained that was where the Transystems trucks were unloaded. He added the
State approved the increase to load weights on a portion of Highway 2 coming to the East Grand Forks
factory. He stated the trucks would be able to haul 122,000 pounds instead of 97,000 pounds so this would
mean less trucks and they would need to modify their receiving station which was another investment and
allowed them to reduce the number of trucks on the road and their footprint.
Mr. Wall said the last slide of information was about the economic impact that the company had on the
region. He said NDSU had completed studies over the years, the last one was completed about two years
ago, and showed the company had over a $6 billion economic impact on North Dakota and Minnesota.
He said it was not just their revenues and sales but included the impact to local businesses all over the
valley, in North Dakota it made up about 1.6% of the State’s economy, and about .5% of Minnesota’s
economy. He added between the three companies located in Minnesota and North Dakota, they produce
50% of all the beet sugar made in the United States, and a quarter of the sugar made in the United States
was produced in North Dakota and Minnesota. He told the Council the company did make an effort to
give back to the communities of 5 cents for every ton of beets harvested. He asked for questions.
Council member Helms asked since they had a record crop and sugar content, if they were having storage
issues. Mr. Wall said they marketed their sugar with another cooperative, they had to be more diligent to
get the products moved out to customers, they had not increased storage, so sales and delivery had to be
faster. Mayor Olstad thanked them for being good community partners to the City of East Grand Forks,
they had met quarterly to talk about what was upcoming, and he appreciated the efforts they were making.
Council President Larson thanked them for the update and how there was a long lasting, mutually
beneficial relationship, and looked forward going down that same path. There were no further questions.

Work Session April 8, 2025
2. Review of the Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Safety Action Plan – Stephanie Halford & Cody
Christianson
Ms. Halford told the Council that Mr. Cody Christianson would be presenting instead of Mr. Weber. She
introduced herself as the director of the Grand Forks-East Grand Forks Metropolitan Planning
Organization (MPO). Mr. Christianson introduced himself as the project manager from Bolten and Menk.
He stated a lot of work had been happening and that he would be reviewing upcoming engagements,
implementation, project prioritization, and next steps. He reminded the Council this project has started in
March of 2024 and they were just a few months away from wrapping up the project. He stated there
would be more public engagements that would be taking place in the next few months, they would be
meeting with the community advisory groups as they had throughout the process for additional input, they
were giving presentations this month to all of the agencies involved, and there would be another council
workshop at the beginning of May to go more in-depth about the implementation process. He added there
would also be a public open house in May to present the draft plan and implementation process.
Mr. Christianson continued with the elements of the action plan that were required by the federal grant
including the leadership coordination and policy and process recommendations. He said they would focus
on the projects that were identified, getting safety countermeasures identified, and putting the
implementation plan together. He said they would be looking for specific infrastructure solutions in the
high injury areas of the network, the matrix identified those areas, and how they could be improved. He
added they would work closely with the steering committee as well as planning and engineering
departments from both cities to identify specific projects in areas and possibly be more proactive than
reactive in certain areas. He stated the high injury network was more reactive data driven piece, but they
had also done a lot of engagement to identify locations to make sure the areas made sense.
Mr. Christianson explained the scoring criteria for project prioritization to help get the most out of the
funds spent on the projects. He said engagement input was considered in the scoring process along with
the equity areas. He said the high impact low-cost projects would rise to the top. He moved on to the
drafts of the project prioritizations for both cities and both Department of Transportation projects. He
listed the East Grand Forks segment projects that included adding a shared use path on the Louie Murray
Bridge to connect the greenway, Bygland Road all the way out to the Middle School, the curve on
Highway 2 east of the city, and the intersection of 14th Street. He then reviewed the segment projects in
Grand Forks. He stated the intersection project areas in East Grand Forks include a possible round-a-bout
at the River Road, 17th Street, and 12th Avenue intersection and the north end of Central Avenue and 23rd
Street. He continued with the intersection projects in Grand Forks.
Mr. Christianson said they were working on finalizing the prioritization, they were looking forward to the
council workshop at the beginning of May, and the public engagement events that would be taking place
in May. He asked if there were any questions. Council President Larson said he was interested in seeing
what the plan was for the Louie Murray Bridge to make that connection and thanked them for the update.
This item will be brought back to a future meeting.
3. Review of Bid Results for the 2025 City Project No. 3 Lift Station No. 13 Rehabilitation –

replacement of fire engines, he worked with Mr. Huttunen and Mr. Galstad on the MOU, and
recommended the Council approve it. He asked for questions. Council President Larson thanked him for
getting this put together. There were no questions.
This item will be referred to a City Council Meeting for action.
5. Discuss Tri-City Council Meeting with Crookston & Thief River Falls – Brian Larson
Council President Larson reminded the Council this event would be taking place on April 29th starting at
6pm on a Tuesday, they would try to figure out how to carpool up to Thief River Falls, a meal would be
provided with the meeting to follow, and asked if there were items they would like to see included on the
agenda. Council Vice-President Riopelle said they could email agenda items to staff. Council member
