MAYOR’S REPORT The Mayor listed his recent meetings and events including, a conference call with HUD, meetings with Senator Hoeven and Congressman Cramer on tax reform and flood protection, the downtown ribbon cutting, served as emcee for the Lynn Aas French Legion of Honor Medal, participated in Dancing with the Special Stars, met with representatives from Open Gate Church, read to second graders at Hoeven Elementary School, toured downtown with representatives from the EDA, met with representatives from the Port of North Dakota, held the Mayor’s Committee on Addiction and met with representatives the state and from First District Health Unit about addiction issues. CITY MANAGER’S REPORT Page | 5  November 6, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting The City Manager listed some upcoming important dates including the Souris River Joint Board meeting and the Burdick Expressway ribbon cutting on November 9th. He reminded those in attendance that City offices will be closed November 10th in observance of Veterans Day and November 23rd for Thanksgiving. A meeting will take place November 15th with the local state legislators to discuss Hub City priorities and the City of Minot will host a meeting on Energy Development and Transmission Legislative Committee, November 29th and 30th. There will be two full days of training on International Economic Development fundamentals on November 16th and 17th. He then concluded by listing the standing meetings: Planning Commission November 27th, Committee of the Whole November 28th and 29th and City Council December 4th. Mr. Barry moved on to describe flood control updates by saying, Phase 1 of flood control will be rebid on November 29th. Due to recent legislative requirements, it was decided to reject the first round of bids because a mechanical bid was not submitted. However, the initial bids came in about $13 million under the engineer’s estimate so staff is hopeful they will see that trend continue. Phases 2 and 3 were awarded to Wagner Construction for $35.9 million which is significantly under the engineer’s estimate of $41.9 million. Earlier in the day, the City Engineer sent the Council the FEMA Risk Map comments that staff has been working on, along with Ackerman Estvold and other County representatives. Mr. Barry welcomed any additional comments and said, they want to make sure they get the information back to FEMA so they can continue the process of revising the FEMA Risk Maps. He then described a project called the High Water Mark Initiative which is a collaboration between the City of Minot, FEMA, VISTA Volunteers and the Minot Area Council of the Arts. Their goal is to increase awareness of flood risk and mitigation actions while promoting public participation in flood control efforts. The project will place signs in high visibility areas denoting the highest points of the 2011 flood. They plan to launch an unveiling event June 22, 2018. The City Manager gave updates on ongoing construction projects starting with the Broadway Bridge Replacement. He said, they expect the roadway to be open to drivers by the 20th of November. The 18th Ave Sewer Replacement is behind schedule and is currently operating under liquidated damages. The paving has been done however, they were not able to get all lifts of asphalt onto the street, so it will be continued next year. The Burdick Expressway Reconstruction will be completed this week and will be opened after the ribbon cutting this week. Next spring they will finish with some landscaping. He reminded everyone, the Downtown project is complete. It was the largest reconstruction effort in the City’s history and took three years to complete. He continued by explaining different updates from City Departments. The Engineering Department recently used a Dynatest Inspection Van to collect data on the city streets to determine their condition. The data will be used to more specifically and analytically decide where to invest money based on functional and structural condition. He gave some NDR project updates by saying, there will be public input meetings December 5th and 14th to discuss the Gathering Space. Staff has been working on developing criteria to select the site for the project and will use comments from the community and the Council to help make a decision. The crane was removed from the downtown parking structures and the City’s portion of the project is being closed out. He announced that Cypress has hired a VP of Marketing and Communications to oversee the Minot projects and three additional positions to manage and maintain the parking ramps and the Y Commons building. They will be making improvements to the structures by purchasing a sweeper, improving cleanliness, purchasing a camera system, and improving signage. There may also be changes to the parking rates in the future. He then explained some information about the Fixed Base Operator lease agreement at the Airport. Minot Aero Center currently has a lease to provide services such as fuel sales, aircraft maintenance, and flight instruction. The lease may be transferred to a new owner which could warrant some changes to the original agreement. It is expected that approval of the lease assignment will be brought to the City Council in December. In addition, the Master Plan for the Airport is being updated and there will be an opportunity for input from Airport stakeholders and the general public on December 6th. Mr. Barry continued by discussing legislative outreach. He said that he and the Finance Director have attended Hub City Funding meetings in Williston and Dickinson and there will be a meeting hosted by Minot, November 29th and 30th. He listed the messages the City wants to convey including: Minot is a Hub City, we have been impacted by oil and gas activities, we have increased fees, rates, and taxes to deal with oil and gas impacts, the flood is not the reason the city grew, and Minot is only asking for our fair share. He announced that the City of Minot will hold its inaugural State of the City Address sometime in February of next year. The presentation will formally inform the community of all of the activities taking place in the City, including Page | 6  November 6, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting accomplishments, plans and challenges going forward. The event will consist of an open house portion to meet with City staff to learn about city programs, projects and services. The State of the City Address will be led by the Mayor and then a social hour will take place after the event. He mentioned that he is planning to hold an Executive Retreat of Department Heads and key staff to have a collaborative, team based discussion to provide a better approach to City operations. He thanked the City Council for supporting his professional development by sending him to the International City/County Manager’s Association Conference. He said it was a tremendous networking opportunity and he learned that Minot is doing a lot of things well such as flood control, resiliency, and downtown revitalization. He said there are also some opportunities where the City can improve operationally. The City of Minot was featured in a video that was shown at the conference over 800 times in conference rooms and hotels throughout the conference. He then showed the video to those in attendance and said it is available on the website. The City Manager recognized Krista Mattice who was promoted to Sergeant in the Police Department. He also recognized Stephanie Zifchock who is in the process of taking over as the Crimes Against Women Investigator and Lacey Bjertness who was promoted to Senior Dispatcher. Upon questioning by Alderman Straight, the City Manager said staff will continue to communicate with businesses who are affected by the delay in construction for the 18th Ave Sewer Project. He also responded to questioning about the parking structures by saying, there was a lease payment due to the City by Cypress Development on October 15th which was not received so the City immediately issued a notice of default and demand for cure. The City was informed that Cypress intends to provide that payment with interest on Wednesday November 8th. He continued by explaining, the roofs of the structures will be discussed during their meeting but at this point in time the contract allows until 2022 to complete the structures. The cost to put a temporary roof over each structure would be about $350,000- $400,000 each. There are issues concerning who would pay for those coverings and who would be responsible for their installation and removal but they agree that leaving the structures undermines the integrity of the building. Alderman Straight then announced there will be a public meeting of the Animal Ordinance Committee on November 14th at 7:00 pm at the Auditorium in order to accommodate members of the community who are unable to make it to the committee’s usual 3:30 meeting. There will be a speaker discussing the reasons to end legislation in Minot regarding particular dogs with salient points outlining the effectiveness of regulating certain breeds of dogs. The meeting will provide education on both sides of the issue to inform the public and the Council. The committee will also have their regular meeting the following day at 3:30 pm in the Council Chambers. CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT The City Attorney submitted a written report.

Motion seconded by Alderman Sipma and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none. WATER TREATMENT PLANT CHEMICALS AWARD OF BID – RE-BID QUICKLIME – FAILED Alderman Wolsky moved the City Council reject the bids for Quicklime for the Water Treatment Plant, rebid the product and direct the Public Works Director and City Attorney to include a clause providing preferred consideration for local business. Motion seconded by Alderman Straight. Alderman Wolsky continued by saying, after receiving letters from Lhoist addressing the concerns of the Council he believes the best option is to rebid the product. Alderman Straight recognized that Lhoist is also using a local contractor, H&H Trucking, to haul the quicklime from the railcars which is why he supports the motion. Upon questioning by Alderman Sipma, the City Manager said the bid can be recrafted but must be in line with the City’s ordinances. He cautioned the Council to be conscientious of setting a precedent that the City makes local vendors a priority. He also said earning that reputation could hinder the City’s ability to purchase from outside vendors. Alderman Jantzer said he does not support the motion and although he wants to support local business, they were not the low bid. If the company who provided the low bid is able to give a reasonable expectation that they are able to supply the product, they should get the award. Upon questioning about the current contract and the time necessary to secure a new bid, the Public Works Director said the current contract expires the end of December and if the Council were to approve rebidding the product, he would suggest a Special Council meeting to award the new contract. The Council discussed the need for a deeper conversation on how to better define the terms for a responsive bidder and to examine a policy to buy local. Mike Eliason, from Lhoist North America came forward with additional comments. He said, their company is looking at bringing lime to Minot by rail and using a local hauler. The current lime provider hauls its product from Rapid City, South Dakota so, in his opinion, their local impact is similar to the existing supplier. Lhoist would be able to provide the highest quality lime the Water Treatment Plant has had since 2010. He also said, his company will continue to support local business just as the exiting supplier does. They will ship their product by rail using BNSF, who employs about 300 people in Minot and by using their service will benefit their business. He continued by saying, there will be 3-4 railcars in Minot at all times, which would increase the inventory from one week’s worth to one month’s and eliminate concern about irregularities in rail service. Lhoist takes care of its customers by providing high quality, competitive products, which are on-time, every day. Page | 11  November 6, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting He addressed concerns about Port Services by saying, if they are not available in the future their first solution would be to lease space at the same location and employ a third party local contractor to transload. If that is not available, BNSF has a large switch yard next door. They work closely with Burlington Northern and would find another option. Duane Hiller, of DR Transport clarified, his company puts money into Minot through its employees. He emphasized that his company is always on time when they provide product to the City. He urged the Council to keep business local to keep the money in Minot. Upon questioning by Alderman Podrygula, the Public Works Director said, the difference between the two bids is 14%. Alderman Podrygula stated, Lhoist has responded directly and addressed their concerns satisfactorily. He also said, he is willing to buy locally but not at the expense of a 14% difference. In the future he said, he would support buying locally but does not believe it is fair to change the rules in the middle of the game.

ORDINANCE NO. 5236 – RESTRICTING HUNTING BY BOW OR CROSSBOW ON CITY OWNED LANDS WITHIN CITY LIMITS – SECOND READING – APPROVED Alderman Wolsky moved the City Council place ordinance no. 5236 on second reading establishing 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 Jantzer. Alderman Wolsky said, he provided a proposed change to the ordinance which states “No person shall hunt, by archery or crossbow, in City limits unless properly permitted, sanctioned by the City, and for the purposes of wildlife management.” The ad hoc committee wanted to leave an opportunity for hunting in the event it is to reduce the population for wildlife management purposes. The City Attorney said the proposed language has not been defined, such as, who would provide the permit, the City or the State of North Dakota? How is the hunting sanctioned, and through what process? And how is “wildlife management” Page | 19  November 6, 2017 Regular City Council Meeting defined? She said, without clarifying those terms, there would be issues in prosecuting violations. The ordinance can be updated once the committee figures out the conditions. Alderman Sipma brought up concerns that a moratorium of current bow hunting will have an effect on the exterior limits of Minot that have been annexed into city limits, specifically in coulees that are part of our city proper. Alderman Sipma moved the City Council amend the motion to indicate hunting shall be prohibited on City owned lands within city limits. Motion seconded by Alderman Podrygula. Nancy Jacobson, of 701 10th Ave SE stated that during the nuisance animal ad hoc meetings, a majority of the members agreed that the terrain in Minot is not safe for hunting. She stated she is against hunting in the city limits and believes it is dangerous and encourages poaching. Alderman Wolsky said the committee will continue its discussion and bring the recommendation back to the City Council. Alderman Jantzer reminded the Council, this issue came up in response to requests to hunt in the cemetery. Currently, there is no ordinance prohibiting bow hunting in the city so the amendment will take care of the cemetery issue while leaving in place the opportunity for the ad hoc committee to continue their discussions. Whereupon a vote was taken on the amendment by Alderman Sipma, seconded by Alderman Podrygula and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: Barney, Olson.

Alderman Wolsky said, in relation to the North Minot Sanitary Sewer project, and considering how extensive the upcoming Flood Protection project, NAWS project and the Wastewater Treatment Plant will be, he believes it is an opportune time to review business to make sure we are implementing best practices. The Mayor asked if the suggested funds will come from the FY2018 budget which was just passed. The City Manager recommended the Council give staff the opportunity to identify various consultants, narrow down a cost and bring a recommendation back to the Council for approval. He estimated a proposal would be ready near the beginning of next year and recommended the funds come from the FY2018 budget. He continued by saying, it will take considerable time to develop the scope of work, identify consultants and do the advertising required. Alderman Wolsky amended his motion to clarify that the budget amendment would be for the FY2018 budget. Alderman Podrygula amended his second. Alderman Olson said she is concerned that there was so much time spent on developing the budget and she is uncomfortable adding another $35,000 without any prior consideration. Alderman Jantzer stated, he is not adverse to the intent but is concerned over the order of business. He would like to identify costs first before approving a budget amendment. Alderman Sipma moved the motion be amended to exclude the authorization of $35,000 and direct the City Manager to put together a scope of work and cost estimate to bring back to the City Council for approval. Motion seconded by Alderman Jantzer. Alderman Straight commented that there are concerns from the public on how the City conducts business. The taxpayer’s perception is that the same contractors are continually used for projects and there are repeated issues. Whereupon a vote was taken on the amendment by Alderman Sipma, seconded by Alderman Jantzer and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none. A vote was then taken on the motion by Alderman Wolsky, seconded by Alderman Podrygula, as amended, and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Barney, Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.
