MAYOR’S REPORT
Page | 5
April 2, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting
In the Mayor’s absence, President Jantzer presented the Life Saving Award to Bob Johnson, a retired fire fighter, for
recognition of his action that saved a life. President Jantzer read a letter that was submitted by the family after Mr. Johnson
saved their three year old daughter from drowning.
Alderman Olson then read a proclamation declaring April, 2018 as Fair Housing Month and announcing an essay writing
contest for 9th and 10th grade students.
CITY MANAGER’S REPORT
Acting City Manager, David Lakefield began by listing upcoming meeting dates. The City Council Workshop will take place
April 4th from 12-5 in the Auditorium. Election packets are due to the Finance Director’s Office by 4:00 April 9th for anyone
who intends to run for office. The Board of Equalization will meet April 10th. A meeting on the FEMA Risk Map comments
will be April 23rd. The Planning Commission meeting is April 30th and Committee of the Whole meets May 1st and 2nd. The
next regular City Council meeting is May 7th.
He continued by saying, the Flood Control Groundbreaking Ceremony took place on March 28th and was attended by local
and state officials.
Mr. Lakefield mentioned the upcoming Council Workshop. He said, the intent is to allow for discussion on the vision,
engagement and priorities of the Council as a group. They will discuss best practices and methods for personnel
management, will look towards the 2019 budget to identify top priorities, and HR will present data to illustrate how our
benefits, retention, workforce and morale measure up to our neighboring cities.
He gave an update on the parking structures by saying, Cypress may be voluntarily turning over operations. The City would
be the sole operator and staff is working on the transition of management. He said, City staff met with the Parking Authority,
however, the structures do not fall within their jurisdiction. He also said, there have been some issues involving water
infiltration and leaks. Staff is working on finalizing plans for a condition assessment of the structures.
He moved on to explain the Governor’s Dashboard Data Objective, which highlights an emphasis to infill within the city and
control urban sprawl. The initiative also intends to focus on using data to drive decision making and applying a long range
vision for the future.
Mr. Lakefield then gave an update on NDR projects. He said, the bid opening for the demolition contract will be April 10th.
The relocation of Home Sweet Home, which will be discussed later in the agenda, will be advertised in April. The Gap
Financing Program launched and there are eight applicants in the pipeline. The RFP for Downtown Multi-Family Affordable
Housing will be opened in June and Park South has begun phase 2 of their project renovating 20 units. We are also awaiting
the submission of a proposal from the Family Shelter Advisory Group.
He described what to look for in the upcoming IEDC Report. He said, they will create a comprehensive, coordinated toolbox
of incentive and financing programs laid out in a clear manner. The goal is to have one source of overall leadership for all
activities related to economic development and growth. We want to be able to plan ahead for the future, which the five year
capital improvement plan and budget are designed to do. We may look into combining Parks District and Recreation
Department consolidate resources and physical assets as an economic growth engine. The largest component will involve
moving away from property tax subsidies from sales tax. He explained the reallocation of sales tax from the first and second
pennies. Currently, in the first penny, 50% is toward Flood Control, 25% on Improvements, 15% on Economic Development
and 10% toward Tax Relief. The second penny currently has 40% toward Infrastructure, 30% for Tax Relief and 30% for
Community Facilities. In 2019, Community Facilities will not exist as it currently is and instead a funding will be
transitioned toward NAWS. The second penny will be reduced proportionately to include 40% for NAWS, 24% for
Infrastructure, 18% for Flood Control and 18% for Tax Relief. By reallocating toward NAWS, it puts pressure on how much
of that sales tax is available to offset property taxes.
He addressed Hub City Funding by saying, he and other members of staff, as well as the Mayor, traveled to Bismarck to meet
with Senator Wardner and the Energy Development and Transmission Committee. Mr. Barry presented a recap of the
Page | 6
April 2, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting
testimony that was provided earlier. They are working on changes to the funding formula for Hub Cities that will hopefully
benefit the City of Minot and set some certainty for what to expect for budgets in the future.
Alderman Straight said, he is concerned about NDR. He has heard from many residents who are frustrated about the progress
of NDR projects and want to know how we are moving forward. He requested a timeline to share with residents to alleviate
concerns we are wasting dollars.
CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT
The City Attorney submitted a written report.

RESOLUTION NO. 3587 - FOR A CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT TO ALLOW A TRANSITIONAL LIVING
FACILITY FOR UP TO 16 PEOPLE ON SUMMIT PARK ADDITION, LOT 13 & S10’ LOT 14, BLOCK 6
Alderman Sipma moved the City Council approve an application by Power of the Purse Inc., represented by Kristen Boen to
adopt resolution no. 3587 for a Conditional Use Permit to allow a transitional living facility for up to 16 people including
staff on Summit Park Addition, Lot 13 & S10’ Lot 14, Block 6 subject to the following conditions:
1. The maximum number of occupants shall not exceed sixteen (16) persons, including staff members.
2. There shall be no more than five (5) vehicles parked on the premises at any time, not including on-street parking. All
vehicles must be licensed and in operable condition.
3. A floor plan will need to be prepared but it does not have to be prepared by a licensed design professional.
4. Fire sprinklers are not required, as long as the IFC R3 occupancy type applies. However, a change in use to a higher
occupancy classification will require fire suppression sprinklers.
5. A Code Review is required anytime a change of occupancy is made to an existing building. That change must
correspond with meeting current building codes as per that occupancy. If fire suppression is not required, the
following fire resistive assemblies are required:
a. Walls separating sleeping units in the same building- one (1) hour
b. Horizontal assemblies serving as sleeping unit separations- one (1) hour
c. Corridors serving sleeping units- one (1) hour
6. Permits required for construction.
Page | 7
April 2, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting
a. Any changes to the structure, egress of the occupants, proposed room dimensions, ceiling heights, etc. would
have to be reviewed by the Building Division with a floor plan and submitted construction documents and will
require appropriate building or remodel permits.
7. Smoke detectors required. Interconnected smoke detectors required in each sleeping room, outside each sleeping
room, and each story of the building.
8. Carbon Monoxide detection required within the building.
9. Egress windows with minimum 48- inch escape clearance from floor are required in all sleeping rooms in the
basement.
10. ADA Compliance may be required. Further review of the interior floor plan and scope of construction is required
before this can be analyzed.
11. Licensing
a. The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) shall serve as the license from the City of Minot to operate this facility
under the terms of the permit.
b. Upon issuance of this permit, the applicant shall be deemed the permitee or permit holder and agrees to the
terms of this permit and to follow all ordinances and regulations of the City of Minot and all county, state, and
federal laws and regulations.
c. The permit shall be non-transferable and shall expire if the transitional home ceases operation. A change in
occupancy shall be cause for an amended or new CUP.
d. The CUP can be revoked at any time by the City Council following a show-cause hearing.
12. Residents of the property must abide by the following restrictions: no sex offenders, no persons with violent
criminal history, no persons requiring “personal care” such as daily personal assistance to function normally, no
residents under 18, no weapons are permitted on the property, and no unprescribed or illegal drugs or alcohol are
permitted on the property.
13. The residents of the property must maintain the yard and have no unnecessary litter.
Motion seconded by Alderman Olson.
Alderman Straight referenced an email from Rebecca Porter in which she stated, there is an option for the City Council to call
the Conditional Use Permit into question after it is approved.
The City Attorney clarified by saying, the ordinance does not outline a specific process to revoke a Conditional Use Permit
but the City Council has the authority to grant it and therefore can revoke it. Failure to comply with the conditions set in the
CUP could result in criminal penalties. She continued by saying, the process would likely start at the Planning Commission
and would likely include testimony presented to the Commission and City Council and the Council would have to decide
whether the evidence supports that a violation occurred.
Alderman Olson moved the City Council amend the motion by adding an additional condition stating, the residents of the
property must maintain the yard and have no unnecessary litter. Motion seconded by Alderman Sipma.
Alderman Sipma asked for clarification on enforcement of the proposed condition. The City Attorney stated, if there were a
revocation hearing before the City Council, the City Council would be the fact finder on whether or not there was a violation.
The Principle Planner came forward to clarify an error in the agenda which said the CUP is to allow 16 people plus staff
when actually, it is 16 total, including staff. Upon questioning by Alderman Podrygula, Mr. Lang stated, four non-related
people are allowed to live in a single family home but group homes are treated differently. The amount agreed upon between
the applicant and the City is 16.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the amendment by Alderman Olson, seconded by Alderman Sipma and carried by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.
Alderman Podrygula said, there have been concerns from the neighborhood that the sponsors of the application have not been
open about its intended use but his assumption is that it is for people recovering from addiction. He raised the concern that
16 people in one home seems like too many but he the Engineering and Fire Departments have assured him that it meets
applicable codes. He then encouraged the applicant to carefully staff the facility with professionals who can provide a
therapeutic atmosphere for the residents.

April 2, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting
Alderman Wolsky, an adjacent property owner, said the neighbors are apprehensive about the application. He said however,
there is a need for such a facility in Minot and we need to find ways to deliver the needs to the community. He suggested
Power of the Purse continue to communicate to the other residents.
Alderman Straight commented on the need for Power of the Purse to maintain confidentiality and said that Minot needs to be
receptive to those who are struggling. We will need more of these facilities in the future and he hopes this can pose as an
example of how to reinvent recovery.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Sipma, seconded by Alderman Olson, as amended and
carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.
ORDINANCE NO. 5278 - AMEND THE MINOT ZONING ORDINANCE, CHAPTER 19, AGRICULTURAL
DISTRICT, SECTION 19-4, CONDITIONAL USES, PERTAINING TO CAMPGROUNDS AND ALSO TO AMEND
CHAPTER 2, DEFINITIONS TO ADD A DEFINITION FOR “CAMPGROUND” – FIRST READING –
APPROVED
Alderman Sipma moved the City Council place ordinance no. 5278 on first reading to amend the Minot Zoning Ordinance,
Chapter 19, Agricultural District, Section 19-4, Conditional Uses, pertaining to campgrounds and also to amend Chapter 2,
Definitions to add a definition for “campground.” Motion seconded by Alderman Olson.
Alderman Wolsky moved the City Council amend the proposed ordinance to set the minimum site requirement for a
campground or recreational vehicle campground within any AG district at ninety thousand (90,000) square feet. Motion
seconded by Alderman Podrygula.
Alderman Wolsky said, there may be a lot of areas in the valley that meet the conditions to have two acres for an RV pad.
Mr. Lang explained, the only zone that permits a campground is AG, which has a minimum requirement of 20 acres. A lot of
that size could fit about 250 recreational vehicles so the Steering Committee proposed to reduce the requirement. They also
added a definition for “campground.”
The Council discussed the possibility of using areas in the valley a campgrounds in the future by rezoning to AG.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the amendment Alderman Wolsky, seconded by Alderman Podrygula and carried by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.

Steve Wagner, President of Expedition League, Inc. said he is excited to be in Minot as the Souris Valley Sabre Dogs
summer collegiate baseball league at Corbett Field. There are eight teams in the league and their first game will be June 1st.
He said he is pleased to be a contributing part of the community.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Wolsky, seconded by Alderman Straight and carried by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.
HOME SWEET HOME STRUCTURE RELOCATION BID – APPROVED
Alderman Sipma moved the City Council authorize staff to issue bid for relocation of Home Sweet Home structure across the
street. Motion seconded by Alderman Straight.
Alderman Wolsky suggested the June 1st deadline seemed like an unreasonable expectation to complete the move and asked
if it would cause the bids to be inflated to meet that date.
Mr. Lakefield said, they weren’t able to close on the property until March, which shortened the amount of time available for
the relocation. It is unknown whether the deadline equates to additional costs but the structure needs to be moved before the
Flood Control project begins or there will be additional costs for delaying that project. He also said, the City has extra lots
that could accommodate the house until the foundation is built.
Page | 14
April 2, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting
At the request of Alderman Wolsky, Ryan Ackerman, Administrator for the Souris River Joint Board, responded to
comments on the costs to move the building. He explained that in order to seek a federal permit, they must comply with
federal laws. SHPO deemed the house a cultural resource and when they evaluated the cost reasonableness to spend
approximately $600,000 when comparing it to a $1 billion project, it seems reasonable. He said, if they continued to fight the
decision, it would delay the flood control project which would cost well over $600,000 in costs to the City and to residents.
Mr. Zakian came forward and stated, the notice for bids will be advertised later this week. He said they have taken into
account the various options including temporarily moving it to a site we own next to where the foundation will be built and
he does not anticipate additional costs from that. Based on an opinion letter issued by the EPA, licensed abatement checks
for asbestos are required which may increase the cost. He said, he does not anticipate they will need an abatement and plan
to pursue the aggressive time line.
Upon questioning by Alderman Sipma, Mr. Zakian said, the funding is coming from the CDBG-DR grant allocations the City
received and will be primarily funded by NDR funds. It is all federal funding. Any money generated from selling the
structure after the move will go back into the NDR activities.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Sipma, seconded by Alderman Straight and carried by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.
NDR SINGLE FAMILY HOME BUILDABLE LOT RFP RESPONSE REJECT BOTH PROPOSALS – APPROVED
Alderman Sipma moved the City Council concur with the Technical Review Committee's recommendation that neither of the
two responses to the NDR Single Family Home Buildable Lot RFP met all the requirements of the RFP and therefore there
are no responses to review or score. Motion seconded by Alderman Olson.
Upon questioning by Alderman Wolsky, Mr. Zakian offered an alternate motion.
Alderman Wolsky moved the City Council amend the motion to state, under the current market conditions in Minot and the
right of the City to not accept any of the proposals, it would not be appropriate to advance a project that constructs new single
family housing at this time and the City Council is therefore rejecting both proposals. Motion seconded by Alderman
Podrygula.
Alderman Straight asked about the deficiencies noted in Mr. Feist’s proposal. One of the insufficiencies was that utilities
were not completed at the time of the submission so he asked if Mr. Feist was able to provide a performance bond until the
utilities were installed. He compared the project to 16th Crossing who was given the option to provide a performance bond.
Mr. Zakian explained, the 16th Crossing project is different from the single family housing RFP. One of the proposals put
forward to 16th Crossing was to put up a performance bond predicated on him delivering a clear plan of action to deliver what
he had promised already, but hadn’t completed. He then explained the difference between statutory and regulatory
requirements. Statutory requirements were passed by Congress and signed by the President which leaves no room for
exceptions. Regulatory is interpreted by HUD. He said, under statutory rules of the grant the 16th Crossing project could
build the 178 townhomes and market them to anyone. The Sandy Allocation, under which the NDR funds are granted,
include more rigid rules imposed by Congress saying the projects must directly serve flood victims. It also outlines that when
you do a procurement you set out exactly what you expect to receive and cannot deviate from that. The RFP described
everything that had to be included but neither RFP met all of the requirements.
Mr. Lakefield said, as Mr. Zakian has pointed out the deficiencies in the proposals, he would feel more comfortable
approving a technical deficiency as the reasoning for rejecting the proposals rather than a subjective analysis of the real estate
market. The proposals can be brought back at a later time, once the deficiencies have been met and hopefully the market has
improved at that time.
Upon questioning by Alderman Straight, Mr. Feist said he is waiting for the second reading of the zone change, which will
take place after a development agreement has been completed with the City. He continued by saying the development has
homes on it but they redesigned the particular parcels to change the lot size and zoning in order to fit the requirements of the
Page | 15
April 2, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting
Resiliency Program. The lots are currently for sale and it gives the option to buy a lot and build their own home. He said,
denying the proposal takes an option away from the citizens of Minot.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the amendment by Alderman Wolsky, seconded by Alderman Podrygula and carried by the
following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Sipma, Wolsky; nays: Podrygula, Straight.
Mr. Zakian responded to questions by Alderman Wolsky regarding the length of time it took to review the proposals. Mr.
Zakian said, the proposals were more voluminous than expected in the RFP. The question arose whether or not the proposals
met the requirements as far as zoning and utilities. After the lengthy assessment, it was determined that neither proposal met
the requirements at the time of submission. He said he would find out how much has been invested in the project’s review.
Mr. Zakian the explained the design book that has been created, by saying, it can be used for development in any
neighborhood outside the flood inundation zone that fits resilient standards.
He also clarified the purpose of the project by saying, if a proposal had met all of the requirements of the RFP and was
accepted, any applicant eligible for the gap financing program could use the funding toward an existing home or could look
at working with the developer of the site selected and have the choice to use the design book and build a house on that site.
By accepting one of the proposals, the site would be deemed to fit resilient standards and would be an option for those
applicants to consider building a home.
Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Sipma, seconded by Alderman Olson, as amended and
carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Wolsky; nays: Straight.

April 2, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting
INFORMATIONAL – HUD LEVERAGE REQUIREMENTS UPDATE
Mr. Zakian gave some clarity on what’s required for leverage regarding the State and City match for NDR projects. HUD
has said that funds coming from the SRJB for Phases 1-3 of the flood control project counts as a match. That means there is
less pressure to put on the State to get more funds for acquisitions. The City had originally envisioned the bulk of matching
funds to come from acquisition funding not flood protection. It means we are not going to be out of compliance but we will
not be getting the money we hoped we would get when the application was written in 2015.
Alderman Wolsky asked about leverage from private partners, to which Mr. Zakian responded by saying, the Finance
Department bills partners monthly and so far is on track. There is a requirement that we regularly report our leverage which
is another inducement to monitor closely. He said, the money goes into the NDR fund as part of the grant agreement and
almost all of it is acquisition related.
Alderman Straight asked if the Gathering Space is included as leverage and would not count against the $6 million in NDR
funding for the project. Mr. Zakian responded by saying leverage has to be cash. The requirement for the NDR fund was
that you could only use leverage by identifying cash value and the City did not identify cash value for what it represented it
would provide to the two acres and therefore it does not fall under NDR requirements.
Alderman Straight continued by asking, if the Community Foundation contributes funding for the Gathering Space, if it
would count as leverage. Mr. Zakian stated, there are opportunities as long as investments by the Foundation that fit their
focuses can directly tie it to one of the activities in the Action Plan, it would count.
EXECUTIVE SESSION
President Jantzer stated the next item on the agenda would be an executive session. This executive session will be held for
attorney consultation, to discuss negotiating strategy, and to provide negotiating instructions regarding pending claims and
reasonably predictable litigation or adversarial administrative proceedings concerning the City of Minot’s contracts with 16th
Crossing CDBG-DR Development Agreement. Legal authority for closing this portion of the meeting is N.D.C.C. 44-04-
17.1, 19.1, and 19.2.
President Jantzer 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 Straight,
and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none
President Jantzer then stated the executive session will be recorded and all members of the governing body are reminded to
limit their discussion during the executive session to the announced topic. Any collective decision, collective commitment, or
other final action by the governing body must occur after it reconvenes in an open meeting, unless final action is specifically
required by law to be taken during the executive session. The prohibition on taking final action during the executive session
did not apply to providing guidance or instructions to our attorney or counsel.
President Jantzer asked the members of the public attending the meeting to leave the room. He stated, the Council anticipated
adjourning the executive session, and reconvening the open portion of the meeting at approximately 8:40 pm.
The executive session began at 8:25 pm and was attended by all members of the City Council, Acting City Manager David
Lakefield, City Clerk, City Attorney, Assistant City Attorney, Public Information Officer, City Engineer, and Public
Information Intern.
At 8:38 pm, Alderman Wolsky moved the City Council adjourn the executive session and return to the regular City Council
