No one appeared in opposition. Whereupon Alderman Jantzer moved the public hearing be closed and the item be approved. Motion seconded by Alderman Lehner and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Berg, Frantsvog, Hedberg, Jantzer, Kossan, Lehner, Olson, Pankow, Podrygula, Shomento, Sipma, Straight, Withus; nays: Schuler PUBLIC HEARING – COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT- SUNSET RIDGE LOW INCOME HOUSING LAND PURCHASE – APPROVED The City Council held a public hearing to obtain citizen views and to respond to proposals and questions related to the performance of the City of Minot in carrying out its community development responsibilities for Sunset Ridge low income housing land purchase. Doug Pfau, Property Supervisor at IMM and President of MCAA (Magic City Apartment Association), came before the Council to provide some information on current housing in Minot. Mr. Pfau named a few low income properties which are unoccupied and stated, the city of Minot does not need any more low income housing. He said the vacancy rate is 10% based on a survey of 6100 units. He also said if all 9200 units reported, the rate would be even higher. The Acting City Manager stated, a Community Development Block Grant- Disaster Recovery project has commissioned a study to research the vacancy rate in Minot. The study is not complete yet, but so far the rate is at 17%. She continued by saying, just because housing is available it does not mean it is affordable. Mr. Pfau added, the concept of affordable is debatable and rent has gone down since its peak during the oil boom. Alderman Podrygula asked Mr. Pfau if he was implying they should be careful of publicly financing housing given vacancies, and if they should scrutinize developers for overcharging on construction. Mr. Pfau replied, he just wanted the Council to be aware of the facts. Matt Watne, a realtor, stated the city has been overbuilt with apartments and overbuilt with low income housing. He said, now that rent has gone down, the units are unoccupied and it would not be a wise use of taxpayer money to build more housing. Whereupon Alderman Frantsvog moved the public hearing be closed. Motion seconded by Alderman Hedberg and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Berg, Frantsvog, Hedberg, Jantzer, Kossan, Lehner, Olson, Pankow, Podrygula, Schuler, Shomento, Sipma, Straight, Withus; nays: none PERSONAL APPEARANCES Katie Haarsager, with Enbridge, came forward in an introductory purpose as the Community Relations Advisor. She provided a pamphlet to familiarize new Council Members with Enbridge and welcomed them to contact her with any questions they may have. Sara Bloom, of 511 S Main St, came before the Council to ask that they consider an ordinance to allow up to 3 hens per household. She provided facts from her research, including, 93 out of 100 of the largest cities in the U.S. allow hens and Minot allowed hens until 1984. She listed several examples from large cities proving they have had very few complaint calls regarding chickens. She addressed the health concerns by stating, the instances of chickens affecting health and safety are low and she would not allow them with her kids if it was unsafe. She shared information showing that backyard hens provide Page | 7  October 3, 2016 more nutritious eggs and their feces help fertilize gardens. Alderman Straight mentioned he appreciates her passion for the issue. Jeff Dunn, of 708 30th Ave NW, spoke in support of backyard chickens. He stated, he owned chickens until 2004, unaware they were banned from city limits. He said, he never had any issues with noise and they made great pets. He encouraged the Council to approve the ordinance. Samantha Bice, of 813 18th Ave SE #403, spoke in support of the chicken ordinance. She said she was a former owner of 6 hens. She came forth with similar data as Mrs. Bloom, and added, hens are low maintenance, act as a pest control for bugs, help eat table scraps to decrease the amount of garbage to the landfill and stated, her family depended on chickens for food during financial hardships. She mentioned from experience, they do not produce much noise, no smell if you keep their area clean, which can be a requirement in the ordinance, and if you store food properly there are no vermin problems. Linda Olson, of 2 11th Ave NW, came forward with information stating, other animals, which are not regulated by the City, are more likely to spread salmonella than chickens. She said hens are a bargain waste disposal, diverting seven pounds of food residuals from the landfill in one month. She also noted, the city is already overrun by geese, turkey and pheasants without predator problems. Sherry Heilmann of 204 21st ST NW, stated for record, she spoke with her neighbors and they are not opposed to chickens. Bobby Roberts, City of Minot Animal Control Officer, stated there must have been a reason for the change in the ordinance in 1984. He then gave an example of a possible outcome by stating, San Antonio is overrun with loose chickens. He expressed concerns over how it would be handled when an owner accidentally raised a rooster. He has had experience picking up illegal chickens within City limits and said it is not easy to catch them. He also stated, people do not always follow laws, but the possibility of cockfighting would increase if the doors are open to chickens. Jamie Allen of Minot, stated, if an owner gets a rooster, farms will adopt them. Alderman Olson moved the City Council direct the City Attorney to draft an ordinance similar to that of Billings, Montana which allows up to three hens, specifies the dimensions of the coop, establishes a timeframe for the hens to be outdoors, and requires daily maintenance of the area. Motion seconded by Alderman Straight. Several Alderman made suggestions for the ordinance including, a plan of action for the hens after their egg laying lifespan has expired in order to prevent slaughter, requiring the neighbors to agree to allow the hens, establishing a permit cost, and providing a progression of discipline for disobeying the ordinance. Alderman Lehner stated, he appreciates the information but has not had anyone contact him in favor of chickens. Alderman Podrygula explained, he will vote to move the issue forward in order to give the idea his full consideration but at this point would not vote to approve the ordinance. Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Olson, seconded by Alderman Straight, and failed by the following roll call vote: ayes: Kossan, Olson, Podrygula, Schuler, Sipma, and Straight. nays: Berg, Frantsvog, Hedberg, Jantzer, Lehner, Pankow, Shomento, Withus. Sherry McGlaughlin and Tommy Shaw came before the Council to discuss issues that delayed the opening of their business, The Spot. They explained, they wanted to open a family friendly pool hall and gaming center so they purchased the Cenex building on Central Ave. They said when they discussed the building with the Fire Marshal, it was determined the capacity would be under 300 and the building would not require sprinklers. They were also told, the plumber would be responsible for securing a building permit for the bathrooms and they could use whatever material the architect decided. Since then, they stated, there has been several instances of miscommunication regarding what is required for them to open. They came to the Council to plead for direction as far as how to proceed in order to open as soon as possible. Mayor Barney said he toured the facility with the City Engineer and Acting City Manager and is sympathetic to their cause. He understands the need to open quickly in order to gain the business from pool leagues in Minot. He then asked if they received the letter from the City Attorney which was sent that day. Page | 8  October 3, 2016 Ms. McGlaughlin stated, they had received the letter but have not had time to properly review it since it was short notice. The City Engineer stated, safety and legality are the main concerns. After looking at the code study provided by the architect, staff determined, as an interim condition in order to temporarily open, they could separate the pool hall space by installing a fire rated wall between the arcade and pool area which would put them under the square footage threshold and delay the requirement for a fire suppression system. They would also be required to add lighting to find the exits in case of a fire and construct a one hour fire rated second exit at the set of doors on the east side. There are other improvements that also need to be made in the future including building a vestibule per energy code requirements. These options are all listed in the letter from the City Attorney. Mayor Barney recapped the three options the owners of the property need to correct in order to open. He then addressed the communication issues that have transpired and let the public know, there have been discussions with city staff to streamline the process of applying for permits so there is a clear set of guidelines when citizens come to Public Works. He asked Ms. McGlaughlin if they were amenable to the options laid out in the letter, to which she replied, she would need to find the costs of each option. At this point the options supplied would be more expensive than installing sprinklers which they were initially told they did not need to do to open. Ms. McGlaughlin and Mr. Shaw asked if there was any type of variance that could be granted so they could open before the fire suppression system was installed. The City Attorney stated, Minot’s Code of Ordinances adopted the International Building Code in which only the Building Official can grant a certificate of occupancy. This governing body does not have the authority to grant a variance. The City Engineer added, they have been trying to find other ways in the building code to make something work. Now they have the code study with information to make those kind of calls, they can more accurately determine what needs to be done to proceed. Mayor Barney asked for suggestions to help the business move forward. Citizens made recommendations including a fire watch, which would provide 24-hour surveillance until the issues are resolved, or temporarily opening only during league events. The Mayor concluded the discussion by advising the owners of The Spot, they can meet with staff after the Council meeting to set up a time to discuss options the following day. MAYOR’S REPORT The Mayor stated, since last month’s City Council meeting, he has visited with First District Health regarding the hepatitis C problem. He sent letters to Trinity and has a meeting scheduled for October 18th. He said, he has had a lot of contact from citizens about the issue and will keep the public posted with any updates. The Mayor stated, he has appointed a committee to come up with better ways to address the noxious weed concerns. He said, there were other issues brought up last month concerning the safety of street crossings at Longfellow and John Hoeven schools. Staff came up with reasonable solutions and are working with Dr. Vollmer to resolve the problems. He concluded his report by saying, he attended the Task Force 21 Nuclear Triad in Washington D.C. to discuss the safety and protection of the nation and the impact to the City. He also met with Governor Dalrymple to go over cost share plans for the flood project.

She stated, there was a State Water Policy Group meeting on September 21st. The recommended cost share is 65% State and 35% City of Minot but the goal is to try for split 70/30. She gave brief updates on all of the construction projects. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Project will have two lanes of traffic open on October 10th. An update sheet was distributed on the Downtown Infrastructure project which outlines a six week timeline. The bid opening for the exterior of the parking structures will be October 18th and will be awarded at the October 21st, Special City Council Meeting. She said, plans for the roof were submitted by the developer but they were rejected by staff and new plans will be drawn up. The 37th Ave Road Expansion is on schedule but due to the rain this week, substantial completion is tentatively set for October 21st. The Ramstad Access Road is continuing work and Hillcrest Drive is expected to be completed the end of October. Upon questioning by Alderman Podrygula, Ms. Hemphill explained, the Special City Council meeting will take place at noon, October 21st to consider the report of the Special Assessment Commission which needed adequate time to send notifications.

He encouraged everyone to attend the next Water Commission meeting on October 12th to possibly decrease Minot’s cost share even more. Alderman Straight moved City Council support forming a committee to study current sales tax structure and study if more can be added to flood protection. Motion seconded by Alderman Hedberg. Alderman Straight explained, he would like to open a dialog about how the City spends tax dollars. He assured, this will not be a discussion about raising taxes for the citizens and will not be at the expense of economic development. He recognized Ms. Hoffart and Chamber of Commerce President, Mr. MacMartin as possible committee members and stated he wants to convey a better business climate in Minot. He also addressed the need for flood protection in areas near Eastwood Park. Alderman Podrygula shared his support for Alderman Straight’s ideas and his passion. He added, the Council should be cognizant of investments especially when funding from the federal government might not be available. He encouraged formation of the committee. Mayor Barney commented, it is good to occasionally reassess priorities of the community and he added, the Comprehensive flood plan reaches from border to border of Minot. The Souris River Joint board has made it clear it is a basin wide plan not just for Minot but for the entire state of North Dakota. He assured, the eastern part of the community has not been forgotten, and it is just not included in the first four phases. Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Straight, seconded by Alderman Hedberg and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Berg, Frantsvog, Hedberg, Jantzer, Kossan, Lehner, Olson, Pankow, Podrygula, Schuler, Shomento, Sipma, Straight, Withus; nays: none. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Alderman Lehner moved the City Council meeting be adjourned. Motion seconded by Alderman Withus and carried unanimously.
