MINNEWAUKAN CITY COUNCIL
November 8, 2005
A regular meeting of the Minnewaukan City Council was held November 8, 2005 at 6 p.m. at the Minnewaukan Senior Citizens Community Center. Present were Curt Yri, Richard Peterson, Mark Motis, Claudette Carlson and Cyndy Lund.
Also present were city maintenance man Verdeen Backstrom, city auditor Laura Weed, librarian Cathy Burkhardsmeier, Cathy Nord and Steve Huffman.
Peterson moved that the minutes of the October 11 meeting be approved. Lund seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Motis to void check 8106. Carlson seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
Nord asked if the city could remove the tractor from the fire hall, stating that there is a state law requiring that the second ambulance be placed in a heated building. The council felt that the tractor was of vital importance to the city and should be kept in the fire hall. Lund questioned the reason for a second ambulance. Nord asked if the city could donate land for a new building. A suggestion was made that the fire department look into renting a heated garage to store the truck.
A motion was made by Carlson and seconded by Lund to accept the ND Department of Commerce grant in the amount of $1,500. The grant money will be used to produce Minnewaukan brochures. The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Lund and seconded by Motis to accept the RC&D grant in the amount of $500. The grant money will be used for WDAZ advertising and Web site updates. The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Motis and seconded by Lund to sponsor a Minnewaukan promotion by WDAZ in the amount of $157 for 48 spots over the next six months. The motion carried unanimously.
The council has agreed to keep the current rate of coverage from the North Dakota Bond Bank in the amount of $125,000.
A motion was made by Peterson to send a bill to Steve Chase for the lost property tax revenue on parcel #45-2-11101-6, south ? lots 1-4 E2 of lot 5, block 5. Chase purchased these lots from the city in 2000 but did not file the deed until 2005. The council agreed that when the payment is received, the city will forward the money to the county for distribution.
A motion was made by Lund to clarify that V. Backstrom accrues sick leave at the rate of one day per month and can accrue up to 60 days. This motion is retroactive back to 1985 as previously approved by the council on May 5, 1986. Motis seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
A motion was made by Peterson to give Shane Monda a 30-day extension to remove the fuel tank located on his property. Monda explained that removing the tank at the present time would create a hardship for his business.
Carlson seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
Carlson asked that the council review the possibility of a home rule charter at the December meeting. The reason for implementing the home rule charter is so the city could collect additional sales tax. The council agreed.
The weed board has asked if the city has any space to rent for chemical storage. A possibility would be to rent some space on the former railroad property near the elevator. Motis questioned how much chemical would be stored there.
The council asked that a letter be sent to the Foxes asking them to remove disabled vehicles from the city street.
A report was made to the council regarding RV’s that may be dumping raw sewage onto the ground. The ordinance will be sent to the property owners.
