FLOORING AND LIGHTING – APPROVED

Commission to replace the Auditorium flooring and lighting. Motion seconded by Alderman Jantzer.
Alderman Sipma stated, he appreciates the initial intent of the Community Facilities fund and supports many of the projects
that were submitted but his vote reflects the needs of the budget going forward.
Alderman Podrygula agreed and said he wants to support these expenditures but would like to see the rest of the 2018 budget.
Alderman Jantzer responded to questioning about the budget by saying, the City Manager has warned the budget will be
difficult going forward. He said, the Community Facilities fund was put in place after it was voted for right before the 2011
flood. There have been requests not to distribute the funds but there have also been requests to continue with the wishes of
the voters. He reminded the Council, Mr. Bakkes came forward at the Community Development meeting to suggest that if
any changes are made to the fund, they should be done in the future but not this year.
The Mayor echoed previous comments by saying, the fund was set up to provide things to do and improve quality of life in
Minot. It was not intended to supplement the general fund to pay for city projects that should be included in the budget. He
suggested the fund be closed out in the spirit it was created and the funds be redirected to NAWS, once we know what the
costs will be.
Alderman Olson, Chairman of the Community Development Committee said the committee discussed meeting again to
decide if the funds should be reallocated in the future.

space.

APPROVED

University toward replacement seating at MSU Dome subject to the condition requiring the entity to raise 50% of the
awarded funds by December 31, 2018. Motion seconded by Alderman Straight.
Alderman Wolsky addressed concerns he heard from the public about over the City allocating funds to MSU. He pointed
out, MSU would never have needed a facility as large as the Dome if it was not intended to be used as a community facility.
Alderman Straight also spoke in support of the project by stating, MSU Dome attracts events which bring tax dollars to the
city. The seats in the facility have outlasted their life expectancy and MSU is unable to use State funding to pay for
replacements. He said, it is a good use of

Alderman Straight stated, the need for a recycling facility must be addressed at some point but, he has heard concerns from
the community against allocating community development funds. He asked what would be done with the money if the
motion to award the funds should fail. Mr. Lakefield responded by saying, the funds would stay in the account until they are
allocated in another way.

August 7, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting
The Finance Director also clarified the dollar amount that would be available to the project after accounting for
administrative costs of the fund.
Alderman Podrygula explained his hesitation awarding funds to the recycling facility when it does not meet the intent of a
community facility. He said, it does need funding and doesn’t know where else it could come from.
The Council discussed the need to reevaluate the sales tax structure.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Olson, seconded by Alderman Jantzer and carried by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Wolsky; nays: Sipma, Straight.

August 7, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting
He gave an update on construction projects by saying, the Broadway Bridge has slipped about a month behind schedule. The
downtown project is on schedule, as well as the 83 Bypass and Burdick Expressway.
The City Manager said, he attended the ND State Fair and emphasized the economic benefits of holding the event in Minot.
He stated, the traffic plan staff coordinated around the construction worked well and there was good communication with
staff from the State Fair Center. He mentioned some opportunities for the City to participate in to make a bigger presence at
the State Fair and parade in the future.
He described the success of National Night Out which promotes public safety and recognizes the agencies involved with
protecting the community.
Mr. Barry gave some updates on flood control by stating, the 16th Street closure training took place in July, and the bids for
the first three phases of the project will be awarded in September and begin in the fall.
Punch list items are being finalized on the Downtown Parking Structures. The Central Ramp crane infills are being installed
and warrantee work is being completed on both ramps. He also said the Renaissance crane removal schedule should be in
place this week. Staff continues to work with Cypress on finding a resolution toward development of the parking ramps.
He reviewed the progress of the National Disaster Resilience projects.
The City Manager gave some updates on the implementation of automation, by saying, it was discovered that about 250
properties were receiving trash collection but were not being charged. Those residents will provide an additional $50,000 per
year in revenue. There have been roughly 340 residents who have requested different sized carts and those swaps will take
place in the following few weeks. He reviewed some of the feedback from customers and said the sanitation department is
communicating issues and finding resolutions. He also mentioned the valet service and said there have been more than 125
customers who signed up for the program which is more than all other ND cities combined. He said it appears there may be
some abuse of the service and said staff is monitoring to ensure those with the greatest need receive the service.
He stated, August 14-19 will be fare free week for bus service. The purpose is to promote City Transit, build awareness and
boost usage.
He mentioned the Assessor’s Office is conducting their annual reviews which are taking place in the areas of Radio City,
Jefferson School, North Hill, Roosevelt School and Cook Drive. They also review recently sold properties and inspections of
new construction.
Alderman Wolsky mentioned the Renaissance Ramp is leaking water through the roof. The City Manager responded by
saying, the contractor is currently working on the problem.
Alderman Straight suggested inviting Governor Burgum to spend some time with the City during the next State Fair when he
is in town. The Mayor said, he handed him a letter during a State Water Commission meeting, inviting him to tour Minot’s
downtown and the flooded areas. The Governor’s schedule must have filled up, but the Mayor said he would follow up with
him to schedule another time.
ORDINANCE NO. 5218 - REZONING CENTERFIELD ADDITION, LOTS 1 & 2 – FIRST READING –
APPROVED
Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council place ordinance no. 5218 on first reading changing the zone from C2 (General
Commercial) to R1 (Single Family Residential) District on Centerfield Addition, Lots 1 & 2. Motion seconded by Alderman
Sipma and carried unanimously.
The property is located at 3631 County Road 19 S.
Findings of Fact:
Page | 10
August 7, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting
1. The applicant owns 13.9 acres and requested approval last month to subdivide it into two separate but abutting lots
in a subdivision that will be known as Centerfield Addition. At that time, City staff found the property to be zoned
commercial, not residential.
2. Although the property is currently zoned C2, General Commercial, the predominant land use in this area is rural
residential and the Future Land Use Plan reflects these conditions with a designation of “Low Density Residential.”
3. The applicant has requested rezoning from C2 to R1 to bring the zoning into conformance with the existing and
proposed use for rural residential.
Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council pass ordinance no. 5218 on first reading. Motion seconded by Alderman Sipma
and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.
RESOLUTION NO. 3567 - AMEND THE FUTURE LAND USE MAP DESIGNATION FROM OFFICE BUSINESS
PARK TO VERY LOW DENSITY RESIDENTIAL ON SECTION 36-156-83, UNPLATTED SE1/4SE1/4; AND
GREENLAND 2ND ADDITION, LOT 2 – APPROVED
Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council adopt resolution no. 3567 to amend the Future Land Use Map designation from
Office Business Park to Very Low Density Residential on Section 36-156-83, Unplatted SE1/4SE1/4; and Greenland 2nd
Addition, Lot 2.
Findings of Fact:
1. The applicant owns a parcel of land approximately 40 acres in size and is in the process of subdividing property to
transfer to a family member. The applicant’s intent is for all of this land to someday be developed into rural
residential home sites.
2. The majority of the property is currently zoned AG, while the existing house and associated outbuildings as well as
the two residential lots proposed in Greenland 3rd which will be zoned RA, Agricultural Residential. The applicant
foresees any further rezoning of the property to be limited to RA zoning in the future.
3. Rezoning to RA requires an amendment to the Future Land Use Map of the Comprehensive Development Plan from
its existing designation of “Office Business Park” to a designation compatible with rural residential land use. The
proper land use designation is therefore, “Very Low Density Residential.”

COST SHARE AGREEMENT WITH WARD COUNTY FLOOD MAPPING INFORMATION SYSTEM PILOT
PROGRAM
Alderman Podrygula moved the City Council enter into a cost share agreement with Ward County and place $7,500 into the
preliminary 2018 budget for consideration and advancement of the mapping system concept pilot program. Motion seconded
by Alderman Wolsky.
Alderman Sipma asked if there would be a cost benefit to property owners who are required to obtain a letter of map revision
(LOMA) and if this system would circumvent process.
Scott Louser responded by saying, to get a LOMA the property owner would need to hire a surveyor to obtain an elevation
certificate. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Minot and Ward County have sufficient data to combine with
GIS data to offer the property owner a document in lieu of an elevation certificate. It would be preapproved by FEMA and
signed by an authorized staff member from the City which would save the cost of an elevation certificate. The website would
also provide property owners with the relevant data to decide whether they should get an elevation certificate.
Upon further questioning by Alderman Sipma, Mr. Louser said, the state of North Carolina uses this program and NFIP and
FEMA accept the data as sufficient in place of the letter of map revision. He continued by saying, the National Flood

August 7, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting
Insurance Program expires two weeks after congress reconvenes. Congress will probably reauthorize the current program for
the short term, subject to any future congressional changes.
Alderman Olson stated, she voted against the item during the Committee discussion because Ward County has its own taxing
authority and believes if they want to fund this, they should fund it in its entirety. All of the residents of Minot are also in
Ward County. She also said, she has been contacted by insurance representatives who shared concerns there would not be
much benefit to Minot residents because a majority of homes have basements whereas in North Carolina, they do not.
Alderman Wolsky clarified, Ward County did not request the cost share. He was in attendance at the meeting and
volunteered to bring the motion before City Council. It was not something they sought out but he believed it was an
opportunity to show collaboration.
Upon questioning by Alderman Straight, Alderman Wolsky said, his offer appeared to make the County Commission’s
decision a little easier.
Alderman Olson also mentioned, State Water Commission staff indicated they are looking at a similar program based out of
Minnesota. She said she is not opposed to the program but is opposed to this motion.
Upon questioning by Alderman Podrygula, Alderman Sipma stated, considering his experience as an insurance agent, there
are areas where this program could be beneficial, particularly to areas where the flood map touches a property but does not
extend to the house.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Podrygula, seconded by Alderman Wolsky and carried by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: Olson.

Motion seconded by Alderman Wolsky.
The City Manager stated, the schedule was modified to change the August 29th Committee of the Whole meeting to the
Auditorium in room 201 to provide a larger room for discussion.
Alderman Jantzer then explained the budget process by saying, this year, the President’s message will be distributed on the

8. Cookies for You for a special event permit on August 5, 2017 at 117 Main St. S.
Motion seconded by Alderman Straight.
Alderman Wolsky commented, the application for a Special Event Permit does not list a timeframe requirement and he
believes adding the requirement will prevent confusion for applicants. He said a permit was denied last month which resulted
in a last minute cancellation of an event and he wants measures to be taken to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.

PRESENTATION OF THE FY2018 PRELIMINARY BUDGET
The City Manager explained that it was a particularly difficult year to compose the budget. He began by describing the
economic trends that have impacted the Minot economy including the changes in oil, agriculture, and sales tax revenue.
There were also drastic changes in population, debt, governmental and enterprise assets and the growth of the community.
He said, the mill levy has been reduced by about 5% over the same time period. He used a graph to demonstrate how those
changes resulted in a large void between revenues and expenses.
Mr. Barry then showed a flow chart outlining the steps that have taken place to create the budget. Throughout the budget
process, staff used the principals and goals as outlined by the Mayor and Council President. He said, staff worked hard to
constrain the CIP by delaying capital projects which has lowered the CIP by $1.7M and will limit the amount of new debt in
2018. He explained, there were 19.5 full time positions eliminated through attrition and reassignment and did not result in
anyone losing their job. Benefits were unable to be reduced, in large part because of unfunded liability of the pension. There
were some major decreases in operations and maintenance but they were offset by numerous increases which result in a net

decrease of about $400,000. Departments across all City operations were analyzed and cuts were made in nearly every area
which decreased the proposed budget by $4,978,690. Those cuts include needs that were identified by staff but are not
advancing because we do not have the revenue to do so.
He continued by saying, the water rates, storm sewer rates, and sanitation rates will stay the same. The sewer rates however,
will increase by about $3 per month. Mr. Barry then broke down the mill levy to demonstrate the changes that were made
during the composition of this budget. He said, the mill levy approved last year was 79 and the mill levy requested this year
is 108 which equals an increase of 29.5 mills. He explained, the budget has actually remained flat when compared to the
previous year. When property tax values go down the mill levy goes up proportionately based on average values so
subtracting 6 mills would equal a 0 net change. He then showed how sales tax reserves can no longer be used to backfill the
budget like it had been done in the past, which would have made a difference of 16.16 mills. The Emergency Fund needs to
be replenished which equals 4.95 mills and there are 2.08 mills required to budget for the unfunded liability of the pension.
After accounting for those differences, there is very little increase to the actual budget. He added, the revenue side needs to
be modified because we no longer have the luxury of using sales tax to subsidize the budget.
The City Manager then showed how property taxes are divided among the four taxing entities. The average property owner
pays about $2,100/ year in property tax, and of that amount, $677 is allocated to the City. The proposed budget would
increase that amount by $213 which is about $17 per month or about a 10% increase in the bill, provided the other entities do
not adjust their mill levy.
Mr. Barry then distributed the preliminary budget and encouraged the Council to review the information from the Budget
Workshops and meet with staff to answer any questions. There will be a detailed presentation during the question and
answer session at the Committee of the Whole meeting.
