CITY MANAGER REPORT The City Manager began by listing important upcoming dates. The State of the City is February 6th, a Public Input meeting on MREFPP February 10th, Offices will be closed February 17th for President’s Day, City Council meeting February 18th, the ARBI Conference February 18th-20th, and MADC Annual Meeting February 25th. He recapped NDR updates, beginning with City Hall Relocation. The City Council directed staff to hire an architect to develop reports on the “M” Building and Wells Fargo Building. Staff hired JLG to develop the reports and provide the information to Council before the physical tours take place on March 9th. A special Council meeting will be held at 4:30 to begin a tour of each building. He cautioned that the “M” building does not currently have power so there is no lighting, heat, or ADA accessible elevators. The recommendation will then be considered at the March 16th City Council meeting. The City has moved on to the third option for the Downtown Gathering Space. The landowner has expressed interest in selling so the environmental review process is underway. A special City Council meeting is scheduled for February 24th to discuss NDR programs and financial status which may lead to modifications to some activities. Mr. Barry continued by describing the Minot Complete Count Committee and Census 2020. They have adopted the slogan “More Means More,” which encapsulates the idea that more people counted in the census means more federal funding, more opportunities for business, and more jobs for our residents. The committee has done a great job applying for grants and advertising will begin March 1st with many activities to follow. The City Manager described the process the Interim Taxation Committee has undergone over the past Legislative Session and how they plan to move forward. A Special Assessment Revenue Replacement Study took place in an attempt to find alternatives for special assessments. The City of Minot does not heavily depend on special assessments because most situations require the developer to cover the costs for development. However, the City would like to preserve local control and allow the tool to remain as a financial option. The cleaning and repair of the Parking Structures is done, as well as lighting replacement and roofing. Due to the fact the structures have been without a roof since they were constructed, the Central Ramp needs EFIS repairs, which will be added to the City’s claim. The next improvements include installation of security cameras bird control. Litigation involving the Parking Structures began in March 2018 on breach of contract claims. Attorneys are working through discovery and a suit is tentatively scheduled for September, 2020. Mr. Barry shared statistics from the recent Free Dump Week, which experienced a record amount of waste collection. During the nine-day event, the City saw a 40% increase in tickets at the scale and a 47% increase in tonnage. The next free dump week will be with the spring cleanup in May. The City Manager invited members of the community to participate in Citizens Academy through the Police Department. Sessions include patrol operations, crime scene response unit, special operations, and use of force/weapons familiarization. Citizens Academy will take place Tuesday nights at 6:00 pm May 5-26 and those interested can contact Master Police Officer Aaron Moss.  February 3, 2020 Regular City Council Meeting He then recognized Master Officer Aaron Moss for receiving the Local Superhero Award from the Minotauros as part of their annual Superhero Night. Officer Moss was nominated and selected for his commitment to crime prevention. The City Manager and Mayor then congratulated Barb McPeak, PSAP Manager and Police Chief Jason Olson for their retirement from the Police Department. The Mayor conducted a swearing-in ceremony for the new Chief of Police, John Klug, followed by a pinning ceremony. The City Manager concluded with a video promoting the State of the City event. Following the City Manager’s report, Alderman Straight requested staff provide information on the NDR budget and benchmark activities prior to the special Council meeting. The City Manager confirmed.

Motion seconded by Alderman Wolsky and carried unanimously. Alderman Wolsky called attention to an apparent policy change that is included with the line item adjustment which discontinues the use of a separate street improvement fund and sidewalk fund. Mr. Lakefield said, due to limitations with current software abilities, some items were segregated into their own funds to enable us to better track those items. Street and sidewalk improvements are typically general fund activities but have been tracked separately. In anticipation of the updated software coming online, staff is cleaning up the chart of accounts and rectifying those issues. He said they intend to track the funds manually in the interim.

He requested staff bring forward some actionable items on the following projects: The first project he requested is the Anne Street Bridge reconstruction which he suggested be moved up from 2022. He said it could be logistically beneficial to be done in a phased approach aligning with Flood Protection. He then requested $29,000 be allocated to consider updating the quiet zone study through downtown. Lastly, he suggested they consider identifying funding for a corridor study on 1st Avenue NE from Third Street to Main Street to the Amtrak Depot. The area is largely owned by the railroad but planning should begin in conjunction with Flood Protection. He also said he noticed the elevator off the Third Street viaduct is now for sale. He said it is estimated the plans would cost about $200,000. Alderman Podrygula commented on the objective criteria used to rank projects and said there are other projects that don’t fit the criteria but still merit discussion. He said, perhaps they could discuss projects like the Sunset Blvd extension during a City Council Retreat. There are many improvements that could be done around the city that they may not all be aware of.

AMEND VOLUNTARY ACQUISITION POLICY ON FORECLOSED PROPERTIES – APPROVED Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council approve amending CDBG-DR/NDR Voluntary Acquisition Policy to add setting purchase price standards for blight properties which have been foreclosed. Motion seconded by Alderman Olson. Alderman Wolsky said he understands the need to update one aspect of the policy but their approval represents approval of the overall policy. He said, the section relates to foreclosed properties but the entire policy is about acquisition of real estate, including the Gathering Space and City Hall. He said, he attempted to make some changes last fall regarding the use of appraisals to acquire properties for the Gathering Space project but may not have had the most up to date version of the policy. He requested a copy that included tracked changes from previous amendments to the policy. Alderman Wolsky moved the City Council table the item until an accurate version of the policy is provided. Motion seconded by Alderman Podrygula. Mayor Sipma reminded, there is no discussion on a motion to table. Alderman Wolsky withdrew his motion and Alderman Podrygula withdrew his second. Mr. Zakian stated, this change is specific to CDBG-DR/NDR relating to properties that meet blight standards and have been foreclosed upon. The policy would ensure that we make a fair offer based on the cost of acquiring the property which is always below the current market value. He also pointed out that time is of the essence because we have been made aware of a property available for purchase. Upon questioning by Alderman Pitner, Mr. Zakian said, the blighted property would be demolished and then the vacant lot would be available for purchase through sealed bid. Any new construction must adhere to elevation standards or it could be purchased through the neighbor next door program. Mr. Zakian then addressed Alderman Wolsky’s concerns by saying the policy is on the website and includes the effective date and date approved by Council. Alderman Straight asked about the funding source, to which Mr. Zakian replied by saying, there was $800,000 in Allocation #1 for spot blight. He explained that acquisitions are driven by national objective and Allocation #1 allows spot blight as the national objective. He further explained that the property in mind was not included in the City’s initial assessment but since this process has taken place, agencies are aware of the City’s program and will alert the City when properties meet the  February 3, 2020 Regular City Council Meeting requirements. The City was notified that this property was available and it is hopeful they can cast a wider net to find homes like this. Alderman Straight asked why the address was not included. Mr. Zakian said, it is an active negotiation so until an offer is made, the City does not want to release the information for another buyer. Alderman Wolsky moved the City Council table the item. Motion failed due to lack of a second. Alderman Podrygula stated, because time is of the essence, he does not want to delay the policy however, he requested staff provide the updated information. Whereupon a vote was taken on the motion by Alderman Jantzer, seconded by Alderman Olson and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight; nays: Wolsky. AUTHORIZE CDBG-NDR SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT FOR URGENT NEED – APPROVED Alderman Jantzer moved the City Council authorize a Substantial Amendment to the CDBG-NDR Action Plan to add the National Objective of Urgent Need to the Involuntary Acquisition Activity. Motion seconded by Alderman Olson. Alderman Wolsky asked why this amendment would take place before the discussion at the Special City Council meeting. Mr. Zakian responded by saying, one of the basic requirements of HUD rules is that all activities in an Action Plan except Planning and Administration must have one or more National Objectives which are Urgent Need, Low/Moderate Income (LMI), and Blight (includes Spot Blight). To be able to use NDR funds outside Buyout Area 4, it is necessary to amend the Action Plan to add Urgent Need as a National Objective. In anticipation of the discussion during the special Council meeting, amending the Action Plan will allow for more flexibility and offers more options to consider. Alderman Straight expressed his frustration with BNSF and the idea that NDR programs may be eliminated because the railroad is forcing more acquisitions. Mayor Sipma mentioned that the community’s needs have changed since the application was submitted and it is worthwhile to have the discussions. Whereupon a vote was taken on the above motion by Alderman Jantzer, seconded by Alderman Olson and carried by the following roll call vote: ayes: Jantzer, Olson, Pitner, Podrygula, Sipma, Straight; nays: Wolsky.

Upon questioning by the Council, Mr. Meyer elaborated on the appeal process and potential options. RECEIVING PUBLIC TESTIMONY Mayor Sipma recited Section 2-31 A (5) of the Minot Code of Ordinances, which describes debate limitation. “Debate limitation. No member of the city council shall speak more than twice at the same meeting on any question, except by leave of the presiding officer. No speaker shall address the city council for a period longer than five (5) minutes without permission given by the presiding officer. Otherwise it shall be the duty of the presiding officer to call the speaker to order upon the expiration of the time limit. This rule may be suspended at any time by a majority vote of the city council.” He said, there have been discussions with staff relating to concerns over lengthy and profane public comment. He asked the Council if there were any objections to adhering more closely to the time restraints going forward. After discussion, the Council agreed that as long as the presiding officer, most likely the Mayor, uses discretion to allow debate, they would not object to adhering to the ordinance. They emphasized the need for consistency and transparency and mentioned the use of a timer to notify the speaker when the time limit was approaching.
