City Council

April 1, 2019 Regular City Council Meeting MINOT CITY COUNCIL – SCHEDULED MEETING – APRIL 1, 2019 AT 5:30 P.M. ROLL CALL Members Present: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky Members Absent: None PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Sipma presiding and led the City Council in the Pledge of Allegiance. PERSONAL APPEARANCES Kalyn Dewitt-Vadell, of 1228 9th Street NW came forward to talk about recycling. She said, it is not only good for the planet but it is good for North Dakota and for Minot specifically. She said, North Dakota emits 55 million tons of carbon dioxide annually which contributes to climate change that directly affects Minot and surrounding areas. It includes fires, drought, flooding, extreme storms and other extreme weather events. As the fourth largest city in North Dakota, we must hold ourselves responsible for some of it. Products that are produced from recycled materials, have a 75% lower carbon footprint than virgin materials and use 90% less water and 85% less energy. She explained that, based on the numbers presented on February 19th that projected the annual tonnage of recycling for the 15-year period, we could save about 90,000 tons of carbon dioxide by recycling. This is equivalent to planting 300-900 acres of managed forest depending on the types and age of the trees. She continued by saying, recycling would reduce the landfill, which is a source of air, land, and water pollution. She said, she does not believe the calculations presented on February 19th accounted for the inevitable increase in value of recyclables. The global recycling market is expected to increase by 7.5% compounded per year for the next six years and North America is expected to see a 7.8% increase. She mentioned some things she would like to see in future recycling discussions, including the monthly per household cost of the recycling programs, how much the recycling program would reduce the costs of the landfill operations, how much would a recycling program extend the life of the landfill, and explore the idea of further processing recycled materials. She concluded by saying, she would like the conversation to continue and said, we can’t expect other cities to take care of the problem since we are contributing to it. Alderman Jantzer requested Ms. Dewitt-Vadell provide the Council with the sources of her information, to which she agreed. Dustin Evanoff of 3324 8th Street NE, came forward in support of recycling in Minot. He gave an example by saying, Denver, another city he has lived in, offers recycling and the city is cleaner and people are happier. He said he understands it costs money but that we need to think about our future and the generations to come. He said, the people in Minot need to be educated on the benefits of recycling and he believes residents should be given the option.

CITY MANAGER’S REPORT The City Manager began by listing upcoming meeting dates including a Legislative Forum April 6th, which could potentially be cancelled as the sessions wind down, April 9th the Board of Equalization, April 15th City Council meeting, April 16th Chamber Board Meeting, April 19th City offices will be closed for Good Friday, April 25th is the Visit Minot Annual Meeting, April 26th Magic Fund Meeting, April 30th Planning Commission, May 2nd Preliminary Budget Workshop, May 3-4 City-wide Clean Up Days, and May 8th Town Hall Meeting. He then described the legislative impacts that have occurred throughout the session. HB 1066, the Prairie Dog Bill was a major win for Minot. He said, it adds $4-6 million each biennium and provides a permanent HUB City formula. The money is intended for infrastructure expenses. He also mentioned SB 2275, the low interest revolving loan bill, which would have doubled our bonding capacity for Flood Control and saved tens of millions of dollars. Officials and staff continue to work on the bill. Other notable bills include HB 1471, relating to permit fees in the extraterritorial zone. The City was opposed to the bill, however it passed. SB 2304, the bill on local enforcement ticket caps was passed as the City had hoped. HB 1200 passed, preventing political subdivisions from regulating auxiliary containers such as plastic bags. He listed the bills they are still watching including SB 2020, the State Water Commission Appropriations bill. It currently includes $65 million for Flood Control but Minot requested $100 million. Officials and staff continue to work this bill but it looks like we will fall short of our request. HB 1286 changes the State Forfeiture laws, which the City was opposed to but the Minot Police Department supports the latest amendments to the bill. Finally, HB 1435 appears to be moving forward which will progress funds for the Statewide Interoperable Radio Network, known as SIRN. Minot will then need to work on our local share for the project. Mr. Barry discussed a couple areas of community engagement, the first of which is a preliminary budget workshop scheduled for May 2nd. The goal of the workshop is to have an open dialog with the Council about budget priorities, long term flood protection and major capital projects. He announced the implementation of Town Hall meetings, with the first being held May 8th. His expectation is to discuss legislative impacts and the preliminary budget, as well as hold an open discussion with residents of Minot. He also explained that staff is working to memorialize a community engagement strategy in order to provide consistent communication and expectations, improve community understanding, and add value with coordination and collaboration. The next step is to reach out to a focus group to meet 2-3 times over the next six weeks to provide input and guidance on the strategy. The final document will be presented to the Council for adoption. The City Manager gave a brief update about the NDR Gathering Space by saying, they are currently negotiating counteroffers with all of the property owners. He then welcomed Brian Billingsley to the City of Minot team. He described Mr. Billingsley’s experience in Planning & Zoning, Building & Inspections, as well as Economic Development. Mr. Billingsley came forward to thank the City for the opportunity. He mentioned some of his experience working in Caldwell, where he implemented a gathering space and worked in greenbelt planning. He said, he has met with staff and is excited to work in Minot.  April 1, 2019 Regular City Council Meeting Mr. Barry congratulated the Police Department by announcing several recent promotions that took place. Jason Bambenek was promoted from Senior Officer to Sergeant. Matt McLeod was promoted from Sergeant to Lieutenant and Jason Sundbakken was promoted from Lieutenant to Captain. The City Manager then announced Citizens Academy, where citizens of Minot can learn about the Police and Fire Departments. Police Academy will take place May 7-28 and Fire Academy on June 1st. He invited the public to sign up on the City website. Mr. Barry then took an opportunity to say farewell to the staff of the Recreation/Auditorium. The Mayor stated, he is excited for the transition and thanked staff for all their years of service to the City. He said, he believes that by working together, both programs will be able to grow. He then provided a Mayor’s coin to each member of the department in attendance and to the Park District employees who worked diligently on the transition. Ron Merritt, of the Parks Department thanked the Committee for eight months of hard work and he said he is excited for the future. After the City Manager concluded his presentation, Alderman Wolsky asked when street sweeping would start for the season. Mr. Barry responded by saying, Public Works has the sweepers ready to go but they always need to be cautious of a late April snow. Alderman Straight asked about state funding for buyouts and acquisitions of property for flood control. Mr. Barry said, it would depend on the state funding approved during the legislative session and he would have more information after the session concludes. Alderman Straight then asked about Hub City dollars and what they would be used toward. Mr. Barry responded by saying, that will require Council’s guidance. Funding cannot be used for operation expenses and would likely be used for capital investments. The CIP will be used to prioritize funding. Alderman Straight commented that he would like quality of life improvements to be part of the conversation since the community facilities fund has been discontinued. Alderman Pitner asked about coordination with the County and if they receive Hub City funding. Mr. Barry said, the County does not receive nearly as much Hub City funding as Minot does but there is collaboration in some areas. CITY ATTORNEY’S REPORT The City Attorney submitted a written report.

ACCEPTANCE OF BID AND PURCHASE OF POLICE PATROL VEHICLES – APPROVED Alderman Podrygula moved the City Council accept the bid by Nelson Auto Center, Fergus Falls, MN for the purchase of five (5) 2020 Ford Interceptor Utility Vehicles. Motion seconded by Alderman Straight. Alderman Podrygula asked if staff had refined the procurement policies to give preference to local businesses. The City Manager responded by saying, they have not. He said, after consultation with the City Attorney, they had concerns that it would be difficult to comply with State procurement components if they made those changes. They discussed with the Mayor and decided to keep the ordinance intact by awarding to the lowest responsible bidder. He said, it is unfortunate that in this situation, the local bidder is so close to the lowest bid but that is how government procurement works. He mentioned however, that the local bidder will get to service the vehicles. Alderman Podrygula continued by saying, the total purchase for five vehicles will be about $168,000 and the out of state bid is only 2.2% higher than the local bidder. He said he would support the local business in this case, but it would not be fair to  April 1, 2019 Regular City Council Meeting award the bid without first notifying bidders of a preference for local bids. He said if they are serious about supporting local business, they may need to look more carefully at the process. Mayor Sipma commented that it could be a topic to discuss at the town hall meetings. Alderman Wolsky said, he recently reviewed a book about Minot in the 1950’s and noticed the amount of wealth generated locally at the time. It was not as easy to spend dollars away from Minot but times have changed dramatically. He said there is value in continuing the conversation locally, and on a state level. Alderman Pitner said, personally, he tries to buy local but when it comes to taxpayer dollars he prefers to go with the lowest bid price. Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Podrygula, seconded by Alderman Straight and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none. ORDINANCE NO. 5369 - AMEND THE 2019 ANNUAL BUDGET – POLICE PATROL VEHICLES – FIRST READING – APPROVED Alderman Podrygula moved the City Council place ordinance no. 5369 on first reading to amend the 2019 annual budget to increase police capital purchases revenue and expenditures and decrease the police general fund revenue to cover the cost overage of the purchase of five police patrol vehicles.

APPROVAL OF FTE AND JOB DESCRIPTION FOR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SPECIALIST AND AUTHORIZATION TO BEGIN HIRING PROCESS – APPROVED Alderman Pitner moved the City Council approve the newly developed job description for the Economic Development Specialist and authorize the Human Resource Department to begin the hiring process for the position which will result in an additional FTE to staffing levels. Motion seconded by Alderman Wolsky. Alderman Wolsky reminded that adding a full-time position means there will be ongoing costs. He mentioned however, the IEDC findings have led to this conclusion and he believes the city has been under resourced. Alderman Podrygula commented that the City has handed over the focus on Recreation but is now committing to undertaking economic development. He acknowledged that some people disagree and favor the free market and limited government involvement with business activities. He said, he believes the City needs to invest more in our economic future. Alderman Straight said, the pressure is on and there are many members of the public who believe we should not be involved. The City now has to show how we can work along with community partners while being economically responsible. He said he is supportive but also concerned. Alderman Pitner stated, this is the time to get involved with economic development but we need to be cautious of when to get involved and when to stay out. The position is much more diverse than just the City being involved in economic development but also how to get the public and private sectors involved as well. Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Pitner, seconded by Alderman Wolsky and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none. 31ST AVE SE RECONSTRUCTION - DECISION DOCUMENT (4331) – APPROVED Alderman Olson moved the City Council concur with the 31st Ave SE Reconstruction Project concepts as currently proposed, elect to proceed with Alternative B – Concrete 3-Lane Construction, elect to proceed with Option 1 – Roundabout at 31st Ave & 13th St SE, and authorize the Mayor to complete and sign the Decision Document.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN ADOPTION (4365) – APPROVED Alderman Straight moved the City Council adopt the 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Plan. Motion seconded by Alderman Jantzer. Upon questioning by Alderman Wolsky, the City Manager explained that in the past a list of projects was included in the budget but it did not provide much detail. The CIP that was presented includes extensive detail including criteria for the rating, ranking and prioritization of projects to better inform budget decisions. It is intended to be a dynamic document that  April 1, 2019 Regular City Council Meeting will be updated on an annual basis. It will be used to model how much work can be done based on available resources. We will ensure the projects worked on are the highest priorities as identified by staff and confirmed by the Council. Staff is asking the Council to adopt the plan to firm up the rating, ranking and cost estimates of the projects so staff can identify what can be forecasted in the preliminary budget. He emphasized that the Council is not approving or authorizing the expenditure of funds for any of the projects at this point. They are giving a general acknowledgment of the capital projects and authorizing staff to plug the information into models. It will be revisited during the budget process. Mr. Barry further responded by saying, the Council has the final say on which projects move forward and those conversations will take place during the budget discussions. This document will give them all of the information they need in order to make those decisions based on long term expenses like operations and maintenance. Alderman Podrygula said that he read the entire 154-page document and it is a major improvement from the past. He thanked staff for all of their work and said he understands the deeper discussions will take place later. He also suggested the staff work on a “human capital plan” to analyze the benefits, training, staff resources and investment required for the City’s largest asset, its staff. Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Straight, seconded by Alderman Jantzer and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none.

Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Pitner, seconded by Alderman Olson and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none. ORDINANCE NO. 5372 - CHAPTER 5 (ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES) REVISIONS – FIRST READING – APPROVED Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council place ordinance no. 5372 on first reading amending Chapter 5 of the City of Minot Code of Ordinances. Motion seconded by Alderman Olson and carried unanimously. Alderman Straight said, he appreciates the communication that took place between the staff and the license holders. He would like to go a step further and provide businesses with application information for outdoor seating. Alderman Wolsky expressed concerns about the fee structure. He said, it seems unfair to charge license holders for 18 months for a license while also taking away the option to split payments. He asked if a six-month payment would be possible for the first year, to get on the same track as the State license renewals. The City Attorney responded by saying, the 18-month payment would only be required for the first year but it would be annually after 2020. Staff is able to change that to six months for the first year if that is what the Council decides. Mayor Sipma suggested they gather input from the license holders and if necessary, make the change before the second reading of the ordinance. Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council pass ordinance no. 5372 on first reading. Motion seconded by Alderman Olson and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight, Wolsky; nays: none. ONCE PER WEEK VS. TWICE PER WEEK GARBAGE COLLECTION Jason Sorenson, Assistant Director of Public Works, provided a report comparing once per week vs. twice per week garbage collection.  April 1, 2019 Regular City Council Meeting Alderman Wolsky clarified that by requesting this report from staff, he was not suggesting he supports the idea. He questioned Mr. Sorenson on whether operations are optimized during the Thursday/Friday collection since the number of carts out for collection decreases on those days. Mr. Sorenson explained how the routes are balanced using service verification software so that the routes are roughly the same amount of time and carts. When considering whether the City is over servicing collection, it depends who you ask. He said, Public Works receives numerous phone calls from residents requesting more service but there are others who only use their cart once per week. Alderman Jantzer asked how many residents have chosen larger containers. Mr. Sorenson said, there are about 9,800 65- gallon carts and about 1,200 have upgraded to the 95-gallon. Alderman Straight asked if they have considered implementing recycling at the landfill or partnering with Kalix. He said before making a decision on whether to conduct one- or two-day service, he would like to see more creativity considering opportunities for recycling. Alderman Podrygula asked if the second set of cans for recycling has been budgeted yet. Mr. Sorenson responded by saying, it would cost about $500,000 but it has not been included in the budget. Upon questioning by Alderman Pitner, Mr. Sorenson said, the bill for waste collection is on average $16.22 per month but includes collection, access to compost, spring/fall cleanup days, and household hazardous waste collection. He explained that if they reduce collection to once per week, it would equate to a savings of about 12% but about a 50% reduction in service. Alderman Wolsky said, to incentivize recycling and capture the most valuable products, we may need to reduce the unlimited garbage service because there is less incentive to participate in recycling. He said to be mindful of how these processes can impact behavior. Alderman Olson shared concerns brought to her from residents requesting the City continue twice per week collection. Alderman Pitner brought up the rate report provided by Public Works and said that most individuals don’t realize the other services that are included within the fee such as compost and hazardous waste. He said it would be fitting for the budget conversation to further discuss adjustments to the rates. Mayor Sipma commented that when automation was instituted, he believes it should have been with a single-size can. He said looking forward, there will be more conversations regarding whether to have one- or two-day collection and whether to include recycling in the conversation. We have heard from many people saying they will not pay for or participate in recycling, but it comes down to education and the need to have a high participation rate to be successful. It will be a greater community decision and the conversation will continue. DISCUSSION ITEM- BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT Alderman Wolsky explained that it came up during a meeting of the Zoning Ordinance Steering Committee to reappoint a Board of Adjustment. He brought the issue up in order to let the Council know it may be something to consider but at this time, staff has not had the opportunity to research the topic. Alderman Jantzer commented that he remembers the previous system and believes it is worthwhile to consider. Citizens felt like they were not being heard by the Planning Commission and it created an appeal process which gives the perception they are getting a fair hearing. He said, he would be in favor of reinstating. Alderman Podrygula said, the goal of the Committee is to make the process more flexible and give City staff more autonomy. It would be a way to exercise more common sense and allow citizens a chance to be heard. ADJOURNMENT There being no further business, Alderman Pitner moved the City Council meeting be adjourned. Motion seconded by Alderman Jantzer and carried unanimously. Meeting adjourned at 7:08 pm.
