utes, second by Tczap. Passed unan-

City Engineer, Mike Njos, reviewed
his written Engineer's Report. Final
plans for the The 1st Street South proj-
ect will be completed May 14. Adver-
tisement for bid will be May 17, 24, & 31
with bid letting June 4 and notice of
award June 9. Underground utility re-
location and right-of-way and deed ne-
gotiations are scheduled to be
completed August 1. Construction is
scheduled to begin August 10 with an
October 17 completion date. City resi-
dent, Jane Muggli, stated that when the
utilities are moved she would like to see
them placed on the back of the prop-
erty, not on the street. Discussion. Njos
will meet with Muggli on this matter.
Njos asked if there are any objections
to using concrete instead of asphalt for
the streets. Prices are comparable and
the life cycle of concrete is much longer.
There was no objection. Ellison asked
Njos if he feels there is still time this
season to move forward on more proj-
ects that are under consideration with
the City's surge funding. Njos thinks the
City should move forward with the fire
hall driveway and possibly the flood
gates. It is too late to start on the 2nd
street south project this year.
City Attorney, Sandy Kuntz, reported
that things have been quiet from a pros-
ecution standpoint. Easements have
been completed on the new water stor-
age reservoir. The swimming pool con-
tract issue has been resolved with
Interstate Engineering.
The written police report was re-
viewed. Chief John Bey introduced
Seasonal Officer, Frank Lukowski.
Ellison read proposed changes for
security at alcohol-related dances and
concert events at the Medora Commu-
nity Center:
Up to 300 attendees: 1 officer
Over 300 attendees: 2 officers
First 4 hours: $250/officer
Over 4 hours: additional
$50/hour/officer
All security costs must be paid in
full prior to the event.
Due to lack of security manpower,
hours for alcohol serving and dancing
will be limited to 6:00 to midnight. Re-
quests for variance will be dealt with on
a case by case basis with MCC Secu-
rity.
It will be the responsibility of the al-
cohol vendor to ID attendees at the
door and provide some type of identifi-
cation that will differentiate individuals
that may or may not drink/possess al-
coholic beverages.
Adequate signage will be displayed
throughout the facility regarding pos-
session/consumption of alcohol within
the facility.
Applications for contracts must in-
clude the anticipated number of atten-
dees so security issues can be
addressed well prior to the event.
The time restriction would apply
even to approved applications. Bey
stated the City doesn't have enough se-
curity officers so he's been in contact
Superintendent, Wendy Ross, stated
she would like to see the NPS and City
partner on this project. The NPS will
stay in contact with Ellison regarding
the next step.
A letter from Interstate Engineering
was presented for review. The letter
proposes waiving the additional serv-
ices invoice for the swimming pool proj-
ect in the amount of $3,979.98. The
City would then move forward with this
project directly with Associated Pool
Builder. Joyce made the motion to ac-
cept the proposal letter. Second by
Brannum. Passed unanimously. Dell
Beach gave an update on the pool re-
pairs. Associated Pool Builders should
be done this week. The electrical and
propane is all that will be left to com-
plete then.
There was discussion regarding
moving forward with using surge fund-
ing to pave the driveway at the new fire
hall. Two contractors submitted bids al-
though this project will come in under
$100,000. Attorney Kuntz does not feel
the bids are comparing "apples to ap-
ples" nor is there enough information on
either bid to move forward. Njos and
Fire Chief Koester will confer and a spe-
cial meeting will be called to make a
final decision on this project.
Raffle Permit No. 02-2015, a request
from the Medora Chamber for a 4-
Wheeler raffle, was reviewed. Brannum
made the motion to approve Raffle Per-
mit 02-2015. Second by Joyce. Passed
unanimously.
Parade Permit No. 04-2015, a re-
quest from El Zagel Shrine to have a
parade on June 6 was reviewed. Chief
Bey stated that he approved the parade
route and has no concerns. Joyce
made the motion to approve Parade
Permit 04-2015. Second by Brannum.
Passed unanimously.
Site Authorization requested by Fort
Abraham Lincoln Foundation to have
Twenty-one conducted at the Little Mis-
souri was reviewed. Brannum moved
to approve theSite Authorization re-
quest. Second by Corneil. Passed
unanimously.
Dell Beach reported that bids for the
new front end loader were opened on
May 4. Bids were submitted from But-
ler and RDO. RDO had the lowest bid
of $117,945 and met all the specs.
Joyce made the motion to accept the
$117,945 bid proposal from RDO. Sec-
ond by Brannum. Passed unanimously.
The next item of business was to
designate an official newspaper per
NDCC 40-01-09. The current official
newspaper is the Dickinson Press.
Joyce has been asked by residents why
the City doesn't publish in the Billings
County Pioneer. Discussion. Corneil
made .the motion to designate The
Billings County Pioneer as the official
newspaper for the City of Medora as re-
flected in Resolution No. 1-2015.
Passed unanimously.

of high mobilization costs. Tl'iis year he
will hire Pace to vapor root the line. The
City public restrooms will open the week
of May 17. There have been cable tv
issues and a new line will need to be
run from the Schafer Center to Ellison's
property.
MCC Director, Scott Rask, reported
that the State Fire Marshall had been

City Auditdr, Carla Steffenl reported
the City received a $2,182.00 Confer-
ment of Benefits from the North Dakota
Insurance Reserve Fund. Steffen has
received correspondence from the
NDLC Executive Director regarding the
Housing Incentive fund program. Stef-
fen will check if this is funding that
Medora would qualify to receive. She
also reported on the Roosevelt-Custer
Regional Council meeting that she at-
tended in Dickinson. Steffen has been
working with CVB Director, Becky Hild
.and CVB President, Jim Bridger on up-
dating the CVB/City web page.
Ellison moved the National Park
Service up on the agenda. Several
park employees did a presentation on
"Preserving Medora's Skies". They are
wanting protection of the night sky and
would like Medora to become an "Inter-
national Dark Sky Community". It
would be a 5-7 year process with the
biggest change being to the street lights
currently in place. If City commitment
is shown, grant money could be avail-
able. Ellison recommended that the
City commit to the project. Dell Beach
said that to shield the approximate 135
street lights would produce a lot of heat.
Perhaps just the cap system could be
replaced. New street lights cost about
$5,000 each. Jane Muggle would like
no street lights installed as part of the
1st Street South project. Interim NPS
