by Kinley Slauter on behalf of TRMF.
The certificate of liability insurance was
included with the application. Tczap
made the motion to approve Animal
Rides Permit 05-2017. Second by
Joyce. Joyce, aye; Tczap, aye; Bran-
num, aye; Slauter abstained. Motion
carried.
Bonnie Streitz requested permission
to hold her annual craft show on the
front MCC lawn June 24. Streitz stated
that craft shows with 10 or less vendors
don't have to file sales tax. Kuntz will
check on that. Corneil would like Stre-
itz to file a craft show permit with the
City Auditor. Joyce made the motion for
Streitz to hold her craft show on the
MCC lawn contingent on sales tax in-
formation from Kuntz being followed.
Second by Brannum. Motion carried
unanimously.
Corneil recommended Bonnie Stre-
itz, Pool Manager, receive a 50
cent/hour raise to 17.50/hour. Admis-
sion and lesson rates will be un-
changed. Tczap made the motion to
raise Streitz's pay to 17.50/hour. Sec-
ond by Joyce. Motion carried unani-
mously.
A Transient Merchant application
from Tyler & Karl Roller aka Kettle Corn
Vending was reviewed. A letter from the
property owner where the vendor was
planning on setting up was also re-
viewed. Tczap made the motion to de-
cline the application because of the
property owner's refusal. Second by
Joyce. Motion carried unanimously.
There was further discussion regarding
raising the application fee or possibly
only allowing vendors to come in when
there is a special community event such
as Cowboy Christmas. After further dis-
cussion, Kuntz recommended that the
CVB and Chamber be contacted to
bring feedback to the July meeting.
Randy Hatzenbuhler with TRMF ad-
dressed the Council regarding the
Foundation's desire to move the
Nabor's man camp from Williston to
Medora. They are looking to acquire
340-400 rooms to replace the
Bunkhouse and add additional em-
ployee housing. Randy introduced the
Project Manager, Jack Markort. This is
still an unsecured project. They are
asking for conditional approval from the
City and it still needs to be approved by
the TRMF Board. Conditional approval
would allow them to submit a Zoning
Application for the June 20 meeting.
They will also be asking for a property
tax exemption. Kuntz stated the City
has never taken the option of property
tax exemptions to the vote of the people
as is required. PILT would be another
option. Kuntz will research this further.
Corneil stated his concerns regarding
lagoon capacity. Njos added that since
the facilities study was done a few
years ago, things have been repaired
and improved. They are being man-
aged well now, but he recommends that
a specialist come in and look at the fa-
cility to find out the capacity. Corneil
added that the project is a great idea,
but he is concerned about the city in-
frastructure. A clear answer regarding
the net increase of room capacity was
not presented. There was discussion
about Slauter having a conflict of inter-
est. Kuntz stated it is a conflict for him
to vote on both Council and Zoning, but
he could bring discussion to the table.
Council recommends this be viewed as
2 separate projects; the Bunkhouse
project and the housing next to the Life
Skills Center. This would require 2 sep-
arate zoning applications. Tczap made
the motion to offer a vote of confidence
to move forward with the TRMF lodg-
ing/housing project contingent on la-
goon capacity and infrastructure needs.
Second by Brannum. Discussion; Jim
Bridger and Ben Brannum understand
they are conflicted to vote on the Zoning
Board regarding this project. Corneil
added that he does not think employees
of TRMF should be allowed to vote.
Tczap added that if someone abstains
they must state a reason. Corneil re-
quested that Kuntz and Njos attend the
June 20 Zoning Board meeting. A zon-
ing denial can be appealed to City
Council. Joyce, aye; Tczap, aye; Bran-
num, aye; Slauter, abstained. Motion
carried.
Per NDCC 40-13-02, Slauter made
the motion to confirm the bond of the
City Auditor. Second by Tczap. Motion
carried unanimously.
Under Misc. Business, a letter of in-
tent to participate in the Multi Hazard
Mitigation Plan from Billings County
Emergency Manager Pat Rummel was
reviewed. If the grant is not approved
for this plan the County and City will not
participate. Brannum made the motion
to enter into the Multi Hazard Mitigation
Plan agreement with Billings County.
Second by Joyce. Motion carried unan-
imously. Slauter asked Kuntz where the
City is with the damage that was done
to the playground. Kuntz has estimates
and should have a long form complaint
by next week. Slauter also asked if the
railroad should have given the City an
official notice when they had the tracks
shut down for repairs. Steffen will try to
reach our regional rep. to see if there
could be better protocol in the future.
Joyce made the motion to approve
the financials. Second by Brannum.
Motion carried unanimously.
