PUBLIC HEARING- TO ALLOW AN APPLICANT FOR A TAXI LICENSE TO APPEAL THE DECISION MADE BY THE POLICE CHIEF TO DENY THE APPLICATION – APPROVED Page | 5  April 3, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting The City Council held a public hearing to allow Erin Colgan, an applicant for a taxi license, to appeal the decision made by the Police Chief to deny the application based on the background examination. No one appeared on behalf of the applicant. Chief Olson was called upon and explained, Erin Colgan applied for a taxi license and by ordinance underwent a background check. There were two pending cases from Williams County in which he was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, including heroin. The application was therefore denied based on Section 30-53 (b) of the Code of Ordinances. The applicant is entitled to appeal the decision according to Section 30-58 and is before the Council for that reason. Whereupon Alderman Shomento moved the public hearing be closed and the City Council deny the application. Motion seconded by Alderman Hedberg and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Frantsvog, Hedberg, Jantzer, Kossan, Lehner, Olson, Pankow, Podrygula, Schuler, Shomento, Sipma, Straight, Withus; nays: none. PERSONAL APPEARANCES Lisa Tankersly, of 9 23rd Ave NW came before the Council to request an update from the City after the opioid roundtable information was provided from Fargo. She said she has a list of people who are interested in putting together a blue ribbon council. The Mayor responded by saying, he met with Norm McCloud and the City Manager and they discussed having a panel in Minot. They are laying the groundwork now and after the June election, the Mayor will assign a diverse group of members to work on the issue. He thanked Ms. Tankersly for work she has done and the input she has provided. Paul Peterson and Adam GoShea came forward representing R & J’s Towing Company. They said they have been serving the Minot area for thirteen years and would like the opportunity to bid on a towing contract with the Police Department and the City. The Mayor took their contact information for the City Manager and said staff would find out the current contract limits and be in touch with them about the process. MAYOR’S REPORT The Mayor listed his recent meetings by saying, he provided testimony on HB1020, attended the Prairie Warrior auction, took part in meetings regarding the technical education aspect of the NDR funds, met with Norm McCloud on the opioid issue, discussed with CDM Smith about the NDR funding for a potential new City Hall and spoke with Senator Hoeven regarding federal participation and the flood plan. He also worked with the State Water Commission to ensure a constant presence on flood control. He, along with the City Manager, Alderman Podrygula, Alderman Schuler, and Alderman Kossan helped with Meals on Wheels on March 30th. He said, the cost of one year of meals is equivalent to the cost of just one day in a hospital. He then welcomed Boy Scout Troop 416, who were in attendance working on their citizenship in the community badge. He also said he awarded Steve Schoenrock with a Mayor’s coin for outstanding police officer for this year. CITY MANAGER’S REPORT The City Manager listed upcoming meetings, including two sessions on the FEMA Floodplain on April 12th, Liaison Committee April 5th, a public meeting on Fire Station No. 5 on April 6th, the Board of Equalization will meet on April 11th, and the standing committees will meet at their regular dates and times. He then announced, the election packets are due April 10th in order for citizens to get their name on the June 13th ballot. He added, 17 packets have been picked and so far none have been returned. Mr. Barry said, City staff has continued focus efforts on HB1361 and HB1020. He elaborated on the expansion of communication for City staff and the community. He outlined some advancements, including hiring a Communications Intern, expanding the social media reach, developing a monthly newsletter, improving the A/V capabilities of Council Chambers and developing a community engagement plan. He stated, there will be a new memo template implemented in the next couple months which should streamline agendas, maintain a standard of information, allow for better readability and be Page | 6  April 3, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting more informative to the public. He stated, a Budget Workshop will be held on May 16th and 23rd from 4:30-6:00 pm and he invited potential Council members and the public to attend. The information is still being compiled but the purpose of the workshop is to provide a better understanding of the City’s overall finances and to understand future challenges and options. He encouraged Council members to submit questions or topics they would like included. He further explained the Floodplain 101 meetings by stating, there are two identical meetings in order to provide flexibility for scheduling. The course is headed by FEMA and NFIP representatives and will include information on the FEMA risk maps. He mentioned the Community Rating System and said, the City will move to a level 8 on May 1st which provides a 10% discount on NFIP premiums. The City Manager gave an update on the flood forecast by saying, it has increased slightly but the risk is still minimal. The City can handle up to 10,000 cfs and the current predictions indicate a 10% chance the flow will exceed 5,300 cfs. He also said, during a conference call with Senator Hoeven, they discussed local and state efforts and the strategy for advancing future flood control projects. He gave updates on the National Disaster Resilience Program. He stated the Program Manager position will be filled soon as there were two qualified individuals interviewed. The consulting contract will be rebid in accordance with a HUD requirement. He gave details on the possibilities for the Trinity buildings downtown but said they are likely not suitable for current needs. The Trinity parking lot could potentially be used as the Gathering Space because the lot meets most of the criteria and would not require the removal of any buildings. He gave a brief update on Construction projects for the season including, Broadway Bridge, 83 Bypass, Burdick Expressway, 16th St/31st Ave, and Downtown Infrastructure: Phase 3. He also said he met with the project manager from Cypress regarding the parking ramps and are working with Shaw Lundquist on punch list items. They discussed, there needs to be active progress on the structures or the crane needs to be removed. The company submitted plans for the roof but they provided only 20% which the City rejected. They have until April 21st to provide 100% design of the Renaissance ramp or the crane will be removed. Mr. Barry explained, there will be improved development procedures to oversee the development process. The development review team will meet with developers every Thursday at 9:00 a.m. to discuss and resolve any issues before work is submitted. The final topic he discussed was regarding the July 3, 2017 City Council meeting. He asked, because of the holiday, if the Council would like to reschedule that meeting for the following Monday, July 10th. Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council reschedule the July 3, 2017 regularly scheduled City Council meeting for July 10, 2017. Motion seconded by Alderman Straight and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Frantsvog, Hedberg, Jantzer, Kossan, Lehner, Olson, Pankow, Podrygula, Schuler, Shomento, Sipma, Straight, Withus; nays: none. Alderman Straight had a few questions after the City Manager’s report. He asked if the bond attorney could be present at the budget workshop, to which Mr. Barry responded by saying, the firm is located in Minneapolis but staff will look into it. He also requested the NDR discussion with CDM Smith be open to the public and posted on the City website to get more community involvement. He asked if the Council Chambers could be made more handicap accessible so no one is discouraged from running for Council based on necessity. Finally, he requested the City Manager provide information in his next report regarding the income from the parking fees in the downtown structures. CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT The City Attorney stated, in addition to her written report, there was an update regarding the Auer item. Our attorneys Randy Bakke and Shawn Grinolds, of Bakke, Grinolds and Wiederholt, previously requested court costs on behalf of the City. District court awarded $7,248 to the City.

He expressed his excitement for the mutually beneficial opportunities in Minot including oil assets, utility lines, and the college campus. He said, he looks forward to the Magic Sky initiative and bringing unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) to the forefront of Minot businesses. Upon questioning by the Council, Mr. Dunlevy stated, one of their members would be moving to Minot. They would also produce a minimum of 15 jobs with the company. He explained the capabilities of the drone technology, which is manufactured in Norway, is able to fly in subzero temperatures and includes sensors for optical gas monitoring. Upon concerns the company would be able to reach the financial benchmarks outlined in the application, Ms. Hoffart stated their attorney is currently drafting an agreement with a deadline of December 1st, to protect against any financial shortfalls. Mr. Dunlevy stated, the company with follow the money and Minot has a lot of opportunities. He said, he is willing to contractually guarantee, operations will stay in Minot.

DENY STORM SEWER DISTRICT 122 REVISED ENGINEERS REPORT (4197) – FAILED Alderman Frantsvog moved the City Council deny the Storm Sewer District 122 project. Motion seconded by Alderman Lehner. Ryan Ackerman, of 1112 Sunrise Court, came before the Council in support of the recommendation from the committee and to add another perspective on the process of storm sewer districts. He stated, some have said this project is a solution in search of a problem but he believes there is a need for the work on storm sewer district 122. He said, he appreciates the Council’s willingness to listen to residents but stated, if the number one priority on the Storm Sewer list is no longer considered necessary then the list is no longer beneficial and a new process is needed to assess projects. He brought attention to the storm sewer fees included in all resident’s water bills, of which a portion set aside specifically to pay for infrastructure improvements like this one. If the Council no longer finds it necessary to commit to fixing issues, then the fee should be reevaluated. Alderman Olson stated, she was the lone vote against the denial in committee and still believes the project needs to move forward. Alderman Podrygula said, after watching the presentation during the Finance Committee meeting, he believes there is a legitimate concern. He was impressed by the footage of the flooding in the area and stated, if three firms over 15 years came to the same conclusion that there are drainage issues, there is no reason to put the improvements off any longer. Alderman Kossan asked how much was already invested into the engineering costs for the project, to which the City Engineer stated, over $200,000. Alderman Kossan said he would prefer to do the project now, rather than incurring more costs for the same project in the future. Whereupon a vote was taken on the motion by Alderman Frantsvog, seconded by Alderman Lehner and failed by the following roll call vote: ayes: Frantsvog, Hedberg, Lehner, Pankow, Sipma, Withus. nays: Jantzer, Kossan, Olson, Podrygula, Schuler, Shomento, Straight.

Approve Plans and Specifications 7. Authorize a Call for Bids 8. Set the bond term for 10 years per the finance director’s recommendation. Motion seconded by Alderman Podrygula. Alderman Straight stated, he understands the concerns from the residents who do not want to pay for the improvements but is not in favor of “kicking the can” for a project that will still be necessary in the future. He said, it should be taken care of now. Page | 11  April 3, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting Upon questioning by Alderman Sipma, the City Engineer stated, the resurfacing of the pavement from 9th St to Broadway would be bid alongside the project but would not be part of the special assessment. The City also systematically programmed improvements to take care of the streets in the area as part of the city-wide chip seal program. Alderman Pankow admitted, he has been back and forth on the issue and that is the reason he tried to get as many people involved as possible. He said, the most affected properties are the two businesses but they have expressed opinions they would not be in favor of a special assessment on potential customers. He also said, it is difficult for residents to agree to pay for something when they cannot physically see the benefit.

BURDICK EXPRESSWAY RECONSTRUCTION COST PARTICIPATION AND MAINTENANCE (CPM) AGREEMENT (4179) – APPROVED Alderman Schuler moved the City Council approve the Cost Participation and Maintenance Agreement for Burdick Expressway Reconstruction, and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement. Motion seconded by Alderman Jantzer. Alderman Straight stated, he understands the road is in need of these repairs but has concerns over the area where property is being purchased from MSU and how the sediment will encroach on the neighborhood to the north. He asked if the narrowest stretch of storm sewer flow will be provided with regular maintenance to ensure sediment does not fill in that portion of the loop. The City Engineer stated, the Public Works Department has a program that goes through the storm sewers systematically and has equipment to prevent any issues. Josh Wolsky, of 1340 South Main St, came forward as a member of Friends of the Souris. He said, the Souris River Joint Board received information that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers identified the dead loops as an area to be fixed. The dead loops were created in the 1970’s in order to channel the water through the city more quickly but did not solve the flood control issues. Mr. Wolsky said there is also a possibility of federal funding for ecological restoration. He concluded by saying, he believes the City is prioritizing roads over the surviving ecosystem.

ORDINANCE NO. 5186 – ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES- LIMITATION ON THE NUMBER OF LICENSES – FIRST READING – APPROVED Alderman Hedberg moved the City Council place ordinance no. 5186 on first reading amending Chapter 5 (Alcoholic Beverages), Article II (Licenses), Section 5-16 (Classes of Licenses; License Fees; License Restrictions; Limitation on the Number of Licenses), Subsection (2) (Retail Liquor) and Subsection (3) (Retail Beer and Wine). Motion seconded by Alderman Shomento and carried unanimously. Josh Wolsky, came before the Council to applaud the Committee for taking on the issues regarding licensing but, he said, the proposed ordinance does not solve the problem initially brought forward. He still believes there should be less regulation on liquor licensing and that City policies are getting in the way of businesses. He supports new job creation and economic development and listed several businesses that have shut down over the past couple years. He understands the argument that the City does not want to devalue licenses but said, there is risk in business and the current ordinance creates an ongoing false value. Alderman Straight appreciated the discussion that arose from having the debate and the input from license owners. The conversation began by proposing a fee to the license but it didn’t seem right to place a fee on alcohol when it is not attached to any other business. He said he is glad this will proceed until 2020. Alderman Hedberg stated, the ad hoc committee went back and forth over the issue and, although it isn’t perfect, the proposed changes allow for some flexibility by using the annual census. Whereupon Alderman Hedberg moved the City Council pass ordinance no. 5186 on first reading. Motion seconded by Alderman Shomento and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Frantsvog, Hedberg, Jantzer, Kossan, Lehner, Olson, Pankow, Podrygula, Schuler, Shomento, Sipma, Straight, Withus; nays: none.

The legal authority for closing this portion of the meeting is N.D.C.C 44-04-17.1, 19.1, and 19.2. The topic of this executive session is Granite Re – 8th Street NE Project: Pending Predictable Litigation – Attorney Consultation and Discussion of Potential Litigation Strategy and/or Guidance for Negotiation Strategy/Instructions. The Mayor stated, at this time, a motion would be needed in order to discuss the next topic in executive session rather than in an open meeting. Whereupon, Alderman Olson moved the City Council move to an executive session. Motion seconded by Alderman Sipma, and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Frantsvog, Hedberg, Jantzer, Kossan, Lehner, Olson, Pankow, Podrygula, Schuler, Shomento, Sipma, Straight, Withus; nays: none.
