PERSONAL APPEARANCES
Bob Adkins, Senior Executive Pastor of Open Gate Church, located at 400 Main Street N., came forward to discuss their
eminent domain case between the church and the City of Minot. He explained the background of the property and how they
waited three years after the flood before rebuilding. He said, they were two weeks away from moving back into the facility
when they got the news the property would be included in the acquisitions for flood control. They have been unable to
secure a property in the price range of the City’s offer and have asked the City’s Attorney to set up a meeting to share their
concerns. He said, they are not angry with the City and many members of their congregation have had similar situations
processed fairly. He would like to resolve the issue outside of the court but feels they have not been given an adequate
opportunity.
Pastor Adkins continued by describing some issues they have with the calculation of their offer. He said, there were
discrepancies in square footage of the property. There was damage done to the parking lot, landscaping and outside of the
building when the dike was installed but the cost of the repairs were denied. He also listed problems with the calculation of
depreciation on their property. He said, when he contacted Swanson & Warcup, the attorneys handling the buyouts and
acquisitions for the City, they responded with the same offer they originally presented.
The Mayor called upon Chris Owen, the Federal Compliance Officer to set up a meeting between Swanson & Warcup, Pastor
Adkins, his attorney, and City staff.
Ellen Morrison, of 1422 4th St SW, came forward to say she would like someone to review the eight foot fence near her
house. She said, she is unable to see to the north when backing out of her driveway and it is hazardous for anyone passing
by. She is asking that it be reviewed to avoid an accident with children playing on their bikes.

CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
The City Manager began by listing important upcoming dates throughout the month of October, including, the Downtown
ribbon cutting October 9th, a meeting with Maj. Gen. Kaiser October 11th, a Water Coalition meeting in Bismarck, October
12th, bid openings for the flood protection project October 25th and 30th, and the standing Committee meetings October 30th,
31st, and November 1st.
He described a meeting that took place with members of FEMA, USACE, and USGS, as well as state and local
representatives, to talk about the RISKMap project. He said a good dialog has begun regarding the development of the maps.
The agencies are willing and eager to listen and address the concerns the City and the County have brought forward. A list of
concerns will be compiled by November 10th and FEMA will take additional time to review those comments, likely adding to
the review time and delaying implementation of the maps.
He said the Developer’s Forum was well attended. Staff is currently working to map out processes, policies and ordinances
to look for improvements. Adjustments are being made to allow for better expectations, enhance efficiency, and to be
consistent but also flexible. He shared news regarding public transit by stating, the City was granted $490,000 from NDDOT
to replace two vehicles. They were also awarded $579,120 for Operations and Maintenance for 2018. He then listed some
statistics on ridership improvements that have occurred since implementing the new route system. Daily hours increased
33%; Route miles increased 69%; average rides per month is at 6,618; Total ridership for May-August was up 22.5% and
adult ridership for May-August was up 47.8%. He continued by discussing the landfill expansion. He said, 320 acres of
land have been purchased for $4 million, which adds over 60 years to the landfill. The Airport will provide a
recommendation for the car rental concessions at the next committee meeting. The Perimeter and North Apron projects are
proceeding on schedule.
Mr. Barry gave an update on the construction projects by saying, the Downtown Infrastructure project hit substantial
completion about one month ahead of schedule. There are minor punch list items to be completed but a ribbon cutting will
be held Monday, October 9th. The Broadway Bridge has had the final beams placed and concrete on the bridge deck will be
poured soon. The contractor is still pushing to have enough of the bridge finished by November 1 for use by drivers. The

October 2, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting
Burdick Expressway project is on schedule with only two blocks left to finish and it should be done by the end of October.
The Sundre Water Line Replacement is about 50% complete with replacing the 2 million gallon tank. It will connect with the
NAWS pipeline to increase line capacity from 5,700 gallons per minute to 9,000 and must be completed by June 1st to avoid
any conflicts with the flood protection project. The 18th Ave Sewer project is behind schedule and is currently being charged
liquidated damages. The newly submitted schedule set the completion for mid-October. The Auditorium is replacing the
original seating which is expected to finish mid-October. Grass is being replaced by turf on two fields at the softball complex
which will allow for a longer fast pitch season.
The City Manager then described the progress of the NDR projects. The team is reviewing the one proposal received for the
bid of the multi-family housing project. EAPC is finalizing the plan books for the resilient neighborhoods and is planning to
present to the next Committee of the Whole meeting. The Planning Department has identified three potential sites for the
downtown gathering space and will present them to the Committee of the Whole to select the most beneficial and cost
effective. MSU, Dakota College and Minot Public Schools are preparing a white paper of proposed framework for training
programs for the Center for Technical Education. The RFP for the family shelter is currently being advertised and has a
submission deadline of December 15th. The Acquisition program closed on one property in August, had seven relocation
claims and one demolition.
He said, staff is continuing to review documentation on the parking structures. He received proposals from Cypress which are
being evaluated and once all parties are consulted they will come to the Council to determine how to proceed. They are
continuing to close out the City’s portion of the project to release the retainage and the contractors. They hope the crane will
be removed in the next 30 days. He mentioned, he has a meeting with Steve Larson, of Cypress, next week.
In other updates, the City Manager said, there is a Legislative Committee studying the ND oil and gas tax revenue allocations
to HUB Cities and HUB City school districts. They are holding discussions to determine specific and permanent funding
strategy for the allocation. A meeting will be held in Minot in November which gives the City the opportunity to tell our
story about the impact the oil and gas industry has had on Minot.
Upon questioning by Alderman Wolsky about the FEMA maps, the City Manager said, it is highly likely the adoption of the
map will be delayed. The FEMA administrators are willing to review the City’s concerns and will need additional time to do
so.
Alderman Straight asked about the affordable housing project for NDR and how the City will proceed since there was only
one proposal. Mr. Barry explained, the team will discuss with the community to find out how to improve the request for
proposals. They will identify what obstacles prevented firms from applying and will adjust the RFP and re-issue it.
CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT
The City Attorney submitted a written report.
Alderman Wolsky asked about the cease and desist letter sent to Earth Recycling and wondered if the City Council should be
notified of such an action. The City Attorney replied by saying, in July, the Planning Department sent notification to Earth
Recycling that they were violating the zoning code and they needed to rectify the situation. She explained, there is a process
all departments follow.
The Mayor requested the Planning Department include Alderman Wolsky and Alderman Straight when they send similar
notifications.
Alderman Wolsky also requested the City Attorney include a list of active civil cases in her monthly report in order for him
to keep them all straight.

ORDINANCE NO. 5231 - CHANGE THE ZONE FROM AG (AGRICULTURAL) DISTRICT TO RA
(RESIDENTIAL AGRICULTURAL) DISTRICT ON OUTLOT 16, SECTION 6-154-82 – FIRST READING –
APPROVED
Alderman Olson moved the City Council place ordinance no. 5231 on first reading to change the zone from AG
(Agricultural) District to RA (Residential Agricultural) District on the proposed Outlot 16, Section 6-154-82. Motion
seconded by Alderman Wolsky.
Kathy Fimreite, of 2001 54th Ave SE, came forward to state her concerns for the record. She said, she lives at the property to
the west of the subject property and is concerned about the development that will occur after this zone change takes effect.
She described the issues with the road between them which is the only access to the back of her house and her garage. It is a
small gravel road not meant for heavy traffic. She also stated, there will be problems with drainage and snow removal. She
said she understands that progress is inevitable but believes that is development occurs there in the future, she will lose some
privacy and it will affect her property value.
The Mayor called upon the Planning Director to explain the process necessary for development to take place. Mr. Davis
stated, if anything were to be built, it would be years in the future. It would require a lot of planning concerning utilities and
ensuring access for emergency vehicles. He responded to questions by saying, the owner wants to subdivide the lot which
would no longer meet the size requirements to be zoned AG. There have been discussions about the 40’ of additional right of
way and possibility of shifting the location of the future road.
Upon further questioning, the City Engineer stated, when subdivision plans come through, staff will review the configuration
of the topography to figure out if the road can be moved.
Alderman Wolsky commented about Governor Burgum’s Main Street Initiative and the need to focus development on
downtown rather than expanding the City into the extraterritorial zone. He questioned whether the Council should continue
to support outward expansion. The Mayor reminded Alderman Wolsky, the item before them is not being brought into the
City.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Olson, seconded by Alderman Wolsky and carried by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Wolsky; nays: Straight
Alderman Olson moved the City Council pass ordinance no. 5231 on first reading. Motion seconded by Alderman Wolsky
and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Wolsky; nays: Straight.
SUBDIVISION OF OUTLOTS 11 & 12, SECTION 15-155-83 – APPROVED
Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council approve an application by Northridge Villas LLC represented by John Zimmerman
to subdivide a portion of Outlot 6, Section 15-155-83 into two lots to be known as Outlots 11 & 12, Section 15-155-83.
Motion seconded by Alderman Sipma.
Alderman Jantzer requested clarification on the conditions required for approval of the subdivision. Mr. Davis said, the
motion made during the Planning Commission meeting stated, to amend condition 1 using the language provided by
Northridge Villas and to retain condition 2 regarding Lot 12 with the access agreement.
The applicant, John Zimmerman, said the Planning Commission adopted the requested language regarding condition 1
related to the park dedication agreement. He explained the process that took place to satisfy concerns from the Council
regarding the ownership of the land for the greenway. When the purchase agreement for the land was being processed, they
found out there was not an accurate legal description so it was resurveyed to create these two Outlots. The property is
comprised of 17 ½ acres, of which a 16 ½ acre greenway will be donated to the Park District. The request to Planning
Commission was to simplify condition 1 based on the fact the Park dedication agreement will not be recorded. The intent
behind the motion made by Commissioner Karpenko was to condense the 2nd condition requiring the 15’ easement orbiting
Outlot 12 as the access point to the Outlot. Once the plat application is approved, the purchase agreement for the land can be
executed, which will allow the park dedication agreement to be finalized and the conditions will be met to approve the

October 2, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting
Upon questioning by Alderman Podrygula regarding other conditions, the City Engineer stated, the largest concern was that
the access easement was in place. It satisfies the condition he needs to record the plat. Other potential conditions would
provide clarity as to what could or could not be developed on the property but it would be up to the Council to make those
decisions. If the owner wants to do anything with the parcel in the future, they would need to work within the regulations
available.

ORDINANCE NO. 5236 – RESTRICTING HUNTING BY BOW OR CROSSBOW IN CITY LIMITS – FIRST
READING – APPROVED
Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council place a moratorium on bow hunting within the city limits until such a time a
recommendation from the Nuisance Animal Ad Hoc Committee is brought to the Council. Motion seconded by Alderman
Olson.
Alderman Jantzer explained, several years ago, and ordinance was brought to the Council to prohibit the use of a bow in city
limits but several archers pointed out that it is not uncommon to set up a target to practice in their backyards. Therefore, the
ordinance did not pass at that time. The current situation involves the nuisance animal discussion where there is potential for
someone to get injured. The motion will curtail any hunting until the committee comes up with a solution to regulate the
situation.

October 2, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting
Alderman Sipma agreed and said other communities have well thought out plans to regulate the number of city tags offered.
He said it is a reasonable request to wait until the committee has identified what the plan is and what is the threshold of
animals that go from “neighbors” to “nuisance”.
Alderman Olson suggested the Public Information Officer ensure the media and the public is well aware of the information.
The City Manager said, staff anticipated there would be an interest to disallow bow hunting at the cemetery due to safety
reasons, so an ordinance was provided to the Council. The motion on the floor goes further than that to prohibit hunting in
city limits so the ordinance can be amended for the first reading. There would be no enforcement mechanism to prevent
hunting until an ordinance is passed.
Upon further clarification, Alderman Jantzer withdrew his motion. Alderman Olson withdrew her second.
Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council place ordinance no. 5236 on first reading to amend Chapter 23 (Offenses –
Miscellaneous), Article IV (Weapons Offenses), Division II (Other Weapons), to add Section 23-68 of the Code of

Olson.

unanimously.
