Miscellaneous Business
“Open Sign” Ordinance — The City
Council approved the language pro-
posed by Zoning to allow Open Signs
to be used all year. There was a first
reading of an Ordinance change to
V allow this at the March 2 meeting.
Zoning Member Terms — The City
Council approved the term end dates as
recommended for Enders (February
2025) and Lukowski (October 2024).
Sign Application Redesign — Slauter
presented a draft version of the Sign
Application redesign. The draft was well
received and the consensus was to
move forward. Ellison commented that
it seems to be a clean lay out, and he
complemented Slauter on the great job
he did to deliver the draft.
Building Permit and Zoning Applica—
tion Form Redesign — Njos suggested
that a Phase Number be added to the
Zoning Application to allow for progres-
sion on projects. Njos also suggested
changing the name from Building Per—
mit to Construction Approval Permit as
it seems more appropriate to our
process, he said the intent is to have a
Construction Approval Permit for every
non-sign Permit so there is a consistent
method to document the project, have
a document on site, and assure identi—
fied items are complied with. Slauter
suggested we look at the final design of
the forms at the next meeting.
Extraterritorial Zoning and Joint
Powers Agreement information — San—
dra Kuntz provided written documents
and gave explanations via phone. Kuntz
said the objective is to treat the Extra
Territorial area consistently and utilize
the good County and City processes
and documents in place. Kuntz is work-
ing with Pat Weir on the Joint Powers
Agreement which will enable a struc-
tured collaboration between County and
City authorities via a Joint Committee to
assure developers have a consistent
process to access Zoning direction in
the ETZ area. The County and City
Zoning Boards will still have the re-
sponsibility for final approvals. Slauter
suggested that there needs to be clarity
on where developers go first, and meet-
ings. scheduled in a manner that flows
for the applicants. Kuntz stated we don’t
want to lose the Historic aspects of the
City Ordinances but we do need to
blend the County and City aspects in
the ETZ and have consistency with De-
velopment Agreements, fees, etc. Sitter
asked what the timeline for completion
of the Joint Powers Agreement might
be, Kuntz said they want to have it
ready for an April agenda item. Slauter
and Kuntz requested input from every-
one to help make the process as com-
plete and clear as possible.
Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Li-
brary — Ellison advised that there will be
an opportunity for the community to
meet with the Library Team on Thurs—
day starting at 4:30pm at the Chateau

125 Students K 6
K—18,1st-16,2nd -18, 3rd- 23, 4th
12, 5th -23, 61h ~15, PK 21
2. Assessments We have com-
pleted two of our three winter assess-
ments. We are working on scheduling
make-up tests for NWEA tests: STAR
Reading 8. Math — Mrs. Cornell and
Mrs. McDowell have been administer-
ing theseassessments to qualify stu-
dents for the Title Math and Remedial
Reading services. Student Engagement
Survey — Mrs. Cornell, Mrs. Kessel, and
classroom teachers will be administer-
ing these surveys, online, next week.
This is a state mandated survey to ful-
fill some ESSA requirements. NWEA —
Mrs. Kessel, Mrs. Henson, Mr. McDow-
ell, the classroom teachers and I ad-
minister these assessments for grades
K — 12.
3. North Dakota State Assessment —
Mrs. Henson and I will be joining a vir-
tual training sponsored by DPI on Tues
day, February 9, to get updates and
training on the NDSA. The window to
administer these state mandated as-
sessments is March 15 — May 7. This
assessment was cancelled last spring
due to COVID, so we are missing the
data from the 2019-2020 school year.

cancelled again this year.
4. Spelling Bee Congratulations to
o u r
champion, 5th grader, Traetyn Rubke,
son of Jodi and Miles Gerbig and
Pete Rubke.
5. NDMTSS — North Dakota Multi-
tiered System of Support — Mrs. Meier
and I met with Sarah McFadden,
RESP’s Professional Development Co-
ordinator, to learn more about the
MTSS process. We both feel it would
be beneficial to our district if we form a
team and begin the 3-year
process starting with training this sum-
mer (June 7 — 9). The program will cost
approximately $3,000 a year. However,
it will stream-line many of the program
we are already doing and make them
more efficient and effective, if imple-
mented correctly. We are willing to put
in the time and effort to make this a suc-
cessful transformation and I’m positive
we can find teachers who will too.
6. Observations Evaluations
I continue to observe and meet with the
teachers. Mrs. Meier and l have devel-
oped an evaluation form for the Parae-
ducators. So, we will be observing and
evaluating them with input from the
teachers they work with. Teacher eval-
uations must be completed by April 15.
7. Title I School-wide — We are on
track to transition from a targeted pro-
gram to a school-wide program. We will
need to submit our Strategic Map in
June to complete our application. Our
School Improvement team is working
on the map now. MTSS will encompass
Title and School Improvement require-
ments. We won’t have to keep re-
peated the same work for different
mandates. It will be all included and
systematic.

high in-
spring '
Outdoor enthusiasts need to be
aware of ground conditions while
enjoying spring activities. ‘
As outdoor activity increases in
spring, so does the risk of wildfires.
An increase in human outdoor activ-
ity, combined with dead ground veg—
etation and high winds, make this
time of year highly susceptible to
wildfires.
Because of highly variable
weather patterns, North Dakota ex-
periences a distinct spring fire sea—
son every year. With that in mind,
it’s important to pay attention to the
fire danger index, and to follow the
appropriate measures.
Hunters and anglers are urged to
keep up with the daily rural fire dan—
ger index, issued by the National
Weather Service, to alert the public
to conditions that may be conducive
to accidental starting or spread of
fires.
In addition, county governments
have the authority to adopt penalties
for violations of county restrictions
related to burning bans. These re-
strictions apply regardless of the
daily fire danger index and remain in
place until each county’s commis—
, sionrgescinds the ban.
The fire,danger‘index can change
daily depending Bn‘ temperature,
wind and precipitation forecasts. If
the index reaches the extreme cate-
gory, open buming is prohibited; off-
road travel with a motorized vehicle
is prohibited, except for people en—
gaged in a trade, business or occu-
pation where it is required; and
smoking is restricted to inside of ve-
hicles, homes or in approved build-
ings and on hard surfaces.
Information on current fire dan-
ger indexes is available at
NDResponse.gov.
Food
assistance
program
available
BISMARCK — State School Su-
perintendent Kirsten Baesler and
Department of Human Services Ex—
ecutive Director Chris Jones have
announced a new food assistance
program for families whose chil-
dren have been eligible for free or
reduced-price school meals during
the current school year.
The Pandemic Electronic Bene-
fits Transfer (P-EBT) program pro-
vides Electronic Benefits Transfer
cards to eligible families. The cards
may be used to buy food. Families
of children who were eligible for
free or reduced-price meals at
school during the current school
year will be eligible. Families will
receive benefits for days that stu-
dents in the household are distance
learning at home, rather than being
in the school building.
Families do not need to apply
for the benefit. Schools are
presently gathering information
about which students qualify for
free or reduced—price school meals.
Eligible households will be receiv—
ing letters to notify them about the
P-EBT benefit, and they will be
mailed EBT cards in the coming
weeks. .
The benefit will equal $6.82 for
each day a student has been learn—
ing through distance instruction.
The amount is the current daily fed-
eral reimbursement that schools re-
ceive per student for providing a
free breakfast, lunch, and after—
school snack.
