City Council

March 1, 2021 Regular City Council Meeting MINOT CITY COUNCIL – SCHEDULED MEETING – MARCH 1, 2021 AT 5:30 P.M. ROLL CALL Members Present: Evans, Jantzer, Olson (phone), Pitner, Podrygula, Ross, Sipma Members Absent: None PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Mayor Sipma presiding and led the City Council in the Pledge of Allegiance. COVID UPDATE Lisa Clute, Director of First District Health Unit, said vaccinations are going well. Including all providers, Ward County has completed vaccinations for 69.3% of individuals 75 and older and 56.7% of individuals between 65 and 75, based on 2019 census data. They continue to promote the availability of vaccinations and encourage those eligible to call to schedule an appointment. There have been 15,221 doses of the vaccine given in Ward County, not including the Air Force Base in which information is confidential. In Ward County, 16.7% of residents received at least one dose of the vaccine and 9.8% have received two doses. Ms. Clute said, they anticipate vaccinating educators and childcare workers the next week. She then announced that Johnson & Johnson has received emergency authorization for their vaccine. The state of North Dakota is estimated to receive 6,900 doses, which will likely be distributed to pharmacies. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine only requires one dose so it is easier for pharmacies who can’t easily track patients for second doses. Ms. Clute continued by providing the statistics for COVID cases. She said, the daily positivity rate is 5.3%. The 14-day positivity rate for Ward County is 3.3% and there are 124 active cases. The goal is for the 14-day positivity rate to remain below 5% so they are still watching the numbers and remain cautious. She said, the pandemic is not over and the possible spread of the UK variant of the virus is unknown. It can only be detected with PCR tests, whereas rapid tests are used in most situations. She encouraged the public to continue mitigation strategies and to keep an eye on the First District Health Unit website and social media.

(MCVB). Motion seconded by Alderman Ross. Alderman Ross asked about the timing and eligibility of certain events. The City Attorney said, a subcommittee reviews the event before it takes place. Visit Minot then works with the event and the City reimburses expenses after the event occurs. Stefanie Schoenrock, MCVB Executive Director, explained that they work with the event ahead of time. The Pro Forma provided describes the required number of hotel rooms, the percentage of attendance from out-of-town and it must be a new or expanded event to be considered for funding. Visit Minot will work with events to provide guidance and ensure the requirements are met before funding could be considered. Alderman Ross requested clarification on a new rodeo the State Fair has applied for, and whether it would be eligible since it has not yet taken place. Ms. Schoenrock said yes, as long as the event is new or expanded and has not happened yet, they could be eligible for funds. They then discussed the module developed by Tourism Economics, which will be used to determine the economic impact of an event. It takes into account hotel rooms and the amount of money participants will pay but it doesn’t account for some of the multipliers and in-kind services. It considers direct spending.

Motion seconded by Alderwoman Olson. Alderman Podrygula emphasized the importance of gaining input from all staff, the City Council, and the public regarding the new City Hall. He said that it has been viewed as a staff issue in the past whereas he wants to see a broad-based effort for the building, which represents the entire community.  March 1, 2021 Regular City Council Meeting The City Engineer assured, there would be several opportunities for input. There are a few check-in points built into the process as well as plans for a community open house. Alderman Ross asked about the current tenants and the condition of the building. Mr. Meyer responded by saying, the building is in good shape but staff is doing some basic cleaning. They met with the tenants to discuss security and other issues and the tenants seem happy with the City’s presence. They will discuss construction impacts in the future as well as continue regular communication. Alderman Podrygula asked for a timeline for the project, to which Mr. Meyer said, it is early in the process but they will work to determine the space needs this spring and should be able to work on designs during the summer so that construction documents would be available for a public bid this fall. They envision about one year of construction so it would be reasonable to assume occupancy around the new year of 2023.
