PERSONAL APPEARANCES
Scott Burlingame, representing Independence, Inc. and a group of Independent Living Ambassadors, came forward to talk
about the efforts to make Minot accessible specifically efforts around snow removal. He thanked the City Manager and
Police Chief for meeting with him to discuss the current laws and enforcement mechanisms relating to snow removal. He
reminded citizens, the law says that within 24 hours following a winter weather event all alleys, sidewalks, ramps,
intersections and parking spaces must be cleared of snow. He said, this does not happen and oftentimes snow is dumped in
those places making it difficult to get around. He said he plans to raise public awareness around the issue and let businesses
know what the laws are.
Mayor Sipma commended Mr. Burlingame for bringing this to the attention of the residents of Minot. He mentioned an idea
for an Adopt-A-Sidewalk program to help maintain the sidewalks now owned by the City. He said, he hopes to continue to
make the community more accessible.
Patti Eisenzimmer, of Afton Township, came forward to discuss the surcharge for building permits in the extraterritorial
zone. She distributed information to the Council about the research she has done regarding building permit fees in other
cities. She asked why it was implemented and what can be done to justify it. She said, she does not believe they should pay
higher fees because they do not benefit from City services like water, sewer, garbage or street sweepers.
The City Manager explained that when her request was brought to their attention, he assembled staff to find out the history
behind the fee structure. He said, in 1986, Resolution no. 555 established the building permit fees. The intent behind the
100% surcharge was to discourage rural development which would have a detrimental effect on City growth and to cover the
increased costs incurred from doing inspections in the two-mile zone. He continued by saying, the Building Department is
subsidized by property tax so the increased fee for the two-mile is to pass along the costs that would otherwise be absorbed
by the City tax payers.
Ms. Eisenzimmer said, in the County, the fee is $4.50 per $1,000 of construction value, in the City, it is $5.00 per $1,000 of
construction value but in the extraterritorial zone it is $10.00 per $1,000 of construction value. She asked if that is fair and if
the fees were set up in 1986, if it is still relevant today.
Mayor Sipma said the Planning Department and City staff can look into the issue further.

FRAMEWORK TO IMPLEMENT IEDC FINDINGS – APPROVED
Alderman Olson moved the City Council establish an organizational structure to lead coordinated efforts to assess IEDC
Action Step recommendations and undertake those recommendations with Council approval deemed necessary for a
coordinated, overall economic development strategy. Motion seconded by Alderman Pitner.
Mayor Sipma explained that this was previously brought before the Council but was held in order to further discuss the
structure with the community stakeholders. They came to an understanding that the technical teams will conduct a majority
of the work developing the plans. Tim Mihalek will act as the Project Manager, to oversee the technical teams and report
back to the stakeholders. Mayor Sipma said, he believes they have address a majority of the concerns raised by stakeholders
when it was first brought to the Council.
Alderman Wolsky said he has issues with the Steering Committee serving as decision makers who set policy and provide
direction to the interagency team and said he would like to see the City Council in that role. Economic Development is a
contentious issue among residents and he wants the process to be transparent and inclusive for the whole community. He also
emphasized the need to create an entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Mayor Sipma responded by saying, the technical teams are smaller groups intended to discuss issues openly. It is difficult to
start discussions with large audiences and it would slow things down to have too many involved from the beginning. He
said, the recommendations will come forward for approval after those groups have worked out the details. He also said, the
members of the Steering Committee have not been set yet.
Alderman Straight commented that he is working with a technical team that is developing an incubator concept in town
which will likely address the entrepreneur aspect.

for and should be meeting again soon. He also said, the Mayor’s Committee on Addiction will meet again soon to reassess
and figure out how to move forward.

October 1, 2018 Regular City Council Meeting
Alderman Wolsky brought up the MADC Board and said they meet October 11th. He will continue to offer a Council related
push on the IEDC issue. He also mentioned the Renaissance Zone Board by saying, they have been rewriting the
development plan and hope to create better incentives for development and improvement. Lastly, the Zoning Ordinance
Steering Committee will be scheduling regular meetings to revise the Zoning Code.
Alderman Pitner described some updates from the Recreation Commission. He said, the Auditorium floor has been
completed and some lighting replaced. They are also planning to install a sand volleyball court near the Dreamcatchers field
to potentially start a volleyball league. The tennis court resurfacing is also taking place.
OTHER BUSINESS
Alderman Wolsky brought up an issue regarding a special event permit for Atypical Brewery and Barrelworks. He said, they
were granted conditional approval for a retail beer and wine license, pending the inspections by the Fire Marshal and
Building Official. Their premises is not ready for a certificate of occupancy yet and therefore has not received the
inspections for final approval of their license. They would like to transfer their license for an event October 6th but the Police
Chief denied it because they do not yet have a license to transfer. Due to an oversight, they were granted an event permit for
the same location in August and he would like them to be granted another permit for this event.
Mayor Sipma explained, according to State Century Code and City ordinance, the premises has not yet been defined and
cannot be issued a license. He said, another establishment can use their license in order to issue the permit for this event.
The Police Chief added, the inspections should take place prior to going to the City Council for approval but they have been
granted conditional approval in order to expedite the process. The license has not yet been issued for Aytpical Brewery so he
cannot approve an event permit. He suggested to the owners that they operate under another license for this event.
Upon questioning by Alderman Straight, the Police Chief said there were no issues reported during their last event.
Alderman Wolsky said they have a Brewery and Tap Room license from the State and requested some clarity why that
license could not grant them an event permit. He asked if there was another option besides using a license from an existing
license holder
Chief Olson stated, they need to pass the inspection in order to obtain a license and he cannot expedite an inspection if the
property is not ready.
Alderman Wolsky suggested reviewing the ordinance to make it more business oriented. Mayor Sipma reminded, there was
an ad hoc committee that discussed making changes but most issues need to be addressed on the state level. He suggested
they assemble a group to speak with legislators.
ADJOURNMENT
There being no further business, Alderman Olson moved the City Council meeting be adjourned. Motion seconded by
Alderman Straight and carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 8:09 pm.
