Presentation of the Purchasing Card Rebate Check from PFM Payment Solutions:
Director of Finance Kent Costin said the City of Fargo has been operating a purchasing card program for five years. He said the initial program goals have been achieved and the City will continue to look at ways to expand the use of this system in the future. He said the annual purchasing card rebate is significant in size of rebate earned, volume of business and the cooperation of all City personnel who use this system.

PFM Payment Solutions Representative William Sullivan said there are more than 680 public entities in the program, with the City of Fargo being the largest governmental body to receive a rebate check this size.

PFM Payment Solutions Representatives William Sullivan and Kelly Smaldone presented the 2016/2017 purchasing card rebate check from PFM in the amount of $284,522.00 to Mayor Mahoney.

Appointment of a Representative of Cass County to the Tax Exempt Review Committee Approved:
The Board received a communication from Mayor Mahoney regarding recently enacted State legislation requiring the City to notify the County and affected School Districts before granting property tax incentives for more than five years under N.D.D.D. 40-5701.03 (New Industry PILOT) or N.D.C.C. 40-58-20.2 (Tax Increment Financing). He said the County and affected School District(s) may exercise the option to decline participation in the incentive or negotiate terms of the incentive with the City. The County and School District(s) must also be included in creating and approving a Renaissance Zone Development Plan under N.D.C.C. 40-63-01, he said, and letters of support from the County and affected School District(s) are required. He said the Tax Exempt Review Committee currently includes representatives of the Fargo and West Fargo School Districts as non-voting ex-officio members, and based on the recently enacted legislation, he recommends the Committee also include a representative appointed by the Cass County Commission as a non-voting ex-officio member.

Commissioner Piepkorn said he and other City representatives recently attended a County Commission meeting and they were very receptive. He said the City and County have much in common and he hopes for more outreach like that. He said there are things to work on together since the Legislature changed the tax incentives.

Commissioner Piepkorn moved the appointment of a representative of Cass County, appointed by the Cass County Commission, as a non-voting ex-officio member of the Tax Exempt Review Committee be approved.

Second by Gehrig. On call of the roll Commissioners Piepkorn, Gehrig, Strand, Grindberg and Mahoney voted aye.

Commissioner Piepkorn moved to approve the reappointment of Kember Anderson to the Fargo-Moorhead Convention and Visitors Bureau for a three-year term ending September 1, 2020.

Second by Gehrig. On call of the roll Commissioners Piepkorn, Gehrig, Strand, Grindberg and Mahoney voted aye.
No Commissioner being absent and none voting nay, the motion was declared carried.

Contract Extension Agreement with Erik R. Johnson and Associates, Ltd. Approved:
The Board received a communication from City Administrator Bruce Grubb stating the current agreement for City Attorney and Prosecution Services is due to expire on December 31, 2017. He said the current agreement covered a five-year term from 2012-2017. Two options available would be to continue with a Request for Proposals (RFP) or to extend the current agreement with Erik R. Johnson and Associates, Ltd., he said. RFP examples from other municipal governments were researched, he said, and a review of the legal services provided to the City was conducted. He shared a summary of services and budgets and he said, based on a thorough review and the ongoing legal issues facing the City, staff recommends the extension of the contract for City Attorney and City Prosecution Services with Erik R. Johnson and Associates, Ltd. at this time. He said it is further recommended that, over the term of the contract extension, staff work with the City Attorney to prepare a transition plan for future legal services.

Commissioner Gehrig said the City has hiring processes and this contract is not a small amount. He said nothing against the current City Attorney; however, he does not feel a contract should be extended for four or five million dollars without an open process where other businesses can come forward and say what they can do for the City. He said the likelihood is that Mr. Johnson’s law firm would put their name in the hat along with others and have a leg up with their experience and institutional knowledge. Nothing would be lost in the process, he said, it would either find something better or prove we have the best choice.

Commissioner Piepkorn said the spreadsheet outlining all the legal issues in all the different departments shows it is a challenge to be on top of all those topics. If that were all broken down and put out on an RFP, he said, the cost would be substantial, possibly twice as much.

Commissioner Strand said if there were issues with legal support, he would advocate for an RFP; however, he sees great depth of institutional knowledge and 20 years of history. He said he typically agrees with RFPs and RFQs when possible; however, with legal services, and sometimes architects and other professional services, he is OK with continuing on if it is working and it is a good investment.

Mayor Mahoney said an RFP invites different people to bid; however, in this community the only other firm to bid in this particular process may be another attorney who represents both West Fargo and Moorhead. He said the City of Fargo is Mr. Johnson’s client, and along with his team, has served the City very well. He said there could be yearly performance type evaluations and if Commissioners have concerns they can be brought forward.

Mr. Johnson said it is an honor and a privilege to be the City Attorney for the City of Fargo and to represent the Board and the staff. He said he would appreciate an extension of the contract.

Commissioner Strand moved the Contract Extension Agreement for City and City Prosecution Services with Erik R. Johnson and Associates, Ltd. for years 2018 through 2022 be approved.

Second by Grindberg. On call of the roll Commissioners Strand, Grindberg, Piepkorn and Mahoney voted aye.
Commissioner Gehrig voted nay.
The motion was declared carried.

Appeal of the Board of Adjustment’s Denial of a Request for a Variance Withdrawn (3931 and 3949 37th Avenue South):
A Hearing had been set for September 11, 2017 on the appeal of an August 22, 2017 ruling of the Board of Adjustment denying the request for a variance for a proposed building to be constructed to a lower level elevation than would otherwise be required by the City’s Floodproofing Code, as referenced by Article 21-06 of the Fargo Municipal Code at 3931 and 3949 37th Avenue South.
At the September 11, 2017 Regular Meeting, the Hearing was continued to September 25, 2017.
At the September 25, 2017 Regular Meeting, the Hearing was continued to October 9, 2017.
At the October 9, 2017, the Hearing was continued to this day and hour; however, the applicant has requested the appeal be withdrawn.

Commissioner Grindberg moved the Appeal of the Board of Adjustment’s Denial of a Request for a Variance at 3931 and 3949 37th Avenue South be withdrawn.

Second by Piepkorn. On call of the roll Commissioners Grindberg, Piepkorn, Strand, Gehrig and Mahoney voted aye.
No Commissioner being absent and none voting nay, the motion was declared carried.

Renaissance Zone Project for Scoop N Dough Candy Company LLC for a Lease Project at 206 Roberts Alley North Approved:
A Hearing had been set for this day and hour to receive comments on a Renaissance Zone Project for Scoop N Dough Candy Company LLC for a business leasing property as part of a zone project at 206 Roberts Alley North.
No written protest or objection to the project has been received or filed in the City Auditor's Office.
The Board determined that no person is present to protest or offer objection to the Project.

Planner Derrick LaPoint said Renaissance Zone Law states “a business that purchases or leases property as part of a zone project is exempt from income tax for five taxable years beginning in the year of the investment or lease for income derived from the business locations within the zone.” The Fargo Renaissance Zone Development Plan further states “Tenant must be leasing space in a building that has been approved as a zone project to be eligible for consideration,” he said, and the Renaissance Zone Authority felt that lease projects such as the application from Scoop N Dough Candy Company LLC would generally be straightforward and could be advanced to the City Commission following staff review and would generally not require direct Authority action. Staff review found the applicant has met the aforementioned requirements, he said, and the project addresses the business retention and expansion goals stated in the Renaissance Zone Development Plan. He said the business will occupy a small retail space in the alley of approximately 550 square feet of commercial space and open by approximately April of 2018. The exemption would be a $50,000.00 income tax exemption over the five-year term, he said.

Owner Josh Ulrich said Scoop N Dough Candy Company LLC is a new company and will offer edible cookie dough, ice cream, caramel corn, popcorn and things of that nature. He said the market will be local and include low calorie, vegan and gluten free options.

Commissioner Strand moved the Renaissance Zone application filed by
Scoop N Dough Candy Company LLC for a lease project located at 206 Roberts Alley North be approved and the income tax exemptions be granted as recommended by staff the Renaissance Zone Authority policy.

Second by Piepkorn. On call of the roll Commissioners Strand, Piepkorn, Grindberg and Mahoney voted aye.
Commissioner Gehrig voted nay.
The motion was declared carried.

Resolution Authorizing Filing of Application with the North Dakota Department of Health for a Loan Under the Clean Water Act for the Fargo Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements Adopted (Project No. WW1701):
City Administrator Bruce Grubb said the Resolution is a requirement to submit a Clean Water State Revolving Loan Fund application to the North Dakota Department of Health. He said the specific project is a big one, an expansion of the Wastewater Treatment Plant, which has been included in the 20-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) since 2005. He said with recent regionalization efforts and for Fargo’s future, the time has come to proceed with the expansion.

Wastewater Utility Director Jim Hausauer gave a presentation outlining the CWSRLF Program, the loan application and terms. He explained the current and future treatment needs and the goals for the Wastewater Treatment Plant Expansion. He said a $140 million loan would provide a historic low 2% 30-year loan and the debt service on the CWSRLF loan has been programmed to be paid with wastewater infrastructure sales tax and user rate revenues. He said the current Wastewater Infrastructure Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contains funding for a WWTP Improvement Project involving an expansion to provide capacity for future growth and regionalization, as well as meet future regulatory requirements. The WWTP currently treats 12 million gallons per day, he said, and the current design capacity is 15 million, so even without the regionalization of West Fargo, there is a need to eventually expand. He said some benefits of the expansion will be improved odor control, elimination of use of chlorine for disinfection, improved efficient treatment for the Red River, future regulations, growth and new industry, and better handling of rain and flood events.

Commissioner Gehrig said the 2% loan rate is a fantastic deal, and the fact that the entire loan amount does not have to be taken is also good. He said this has been labeled in the CIP for a long time and that planning is impressive. The regionalization aspect has no ceiling, he said, and being able to double the capacity of the plant and not double the footprint is impressive.

Commissioner Gehrig offered the following Resolution and moved its adoption:
WHEREAS, Under the terms of the Clean Water Act, the United States of America has authorized the making of loans to authorized applicants to aid in the construction of specific public projects:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Fargo City Commission:
1. That James Hausauer be and is hereby authorized to execute and file an application on behalf of the City of Fargo, North Dakota with the North Dakota Department of Health for a loan to aid in the construction of the Fargo Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements.
2. That James Hausauer, Wastewater Utility Director, be and is hereby authorized and directed to furnish such information as the North Dakota Department of Health may reasonably request in connection with the application which is herein authorized to be filed, to sign all necessary documents, and, on behalf of city, to accept loan offer and receive payment of loan funds.
Second by Grindberg. On the vote being taken on the question of the adoption of the Resolution Commissioners Gehrig, Grindberg, Piepkorn, Strand and Mahoney voted aye.
No Commissioner being absent and none voting nay, the Resolution was adopted.

Commissioner Gehrig moved that the Board adjourn to 5:00 o’clock p.m., Monday, November 20, 2017.
