Resident Comments:
Brandon Krieger spoke about various City issues.
Resolution Directing the Issuance of $22,855,000.00 Refunding Improvement Bonds, Series 2022A and Prescribing the Terms and Covenants Therefor; and Resolution Selling, Establishing Terms and Directing Issuance of Definitive Improvement Warrants on the Funds of Certain Improvement Districts and Providing for and Appropriating Special Assessments for the Support and Maintenance of Said Funds Adopted:
Assistant City Administrator Michael Redlinger said representatives from Baker Tilly will discuss the bond sale that occurred this morning on refunding improvement bonds, which will be repaying the City’s Capital Improvement Fund.
Brad Elmer, Baker Tilly, said it was a successful bond sale and the City sold $22.855 million in refunding improvement bonds to finance a variety of utility, street, alley and street lighting projects. He said seven bids were received and the winning bid was from Baird with a true interest cost of 2.45 percent. Over recent months, he said, rates have been ticking up and as recently as last week, he was estimating the rate would be around 2.65, so he feels good about the 2.45 rate.
Terri Heaton, Baker Tilly, said Moody's report was very favorable for the City and affirmed Fargo’s AA rating and stable outlook. She said Moody’s comments included jobs with Amazon, record level building permits, construction of the FM Diversion Project, a significant sales tax increase, a strong budget to actuals for all City funds, its revenue raising flexibility and healthy operations. She said all of this is a very good pat on the back for the City’s leadership.
Commissioner Piepkorn moved the Resolutions titled “Resolution Directing the Issuance of $22,855,000.00 Refunding Improvement Bonds, Series 2022A and Prescribing the Terms and Covenants Thereof” and “Resolution Selling, Establishing Terms and Directing Issuance of Definitive Improvement Warrants on the Funds of Certain Improvement Districts and Providing for and Appropriating Special Assessments for the Support and Maintenance of Said Funds” and referred to as Attachments “A” and “B” be adopted and attached hereto.
Second by Preston. On the vote being taken on the adoption of the Resolutions Commissioners Piepkorn, Preston, Gehrig, Strand and Mahoney voted aye.
No Commissioner being absent and none voting nay, the Resolutions were adopted.
Update on Homelessness:
Jan Eliassen, Director of Harm Reduction Programs at Fargo Cass Public Health, said there have been many things done in the community to improve the issue of homelessness including new programs and housing supports rooted in evidence-based models. COVID-19 has caused considerable challenges with the shelter system, she said, and she collaborates and communicates with all the shelters to try to make sure anyone seeking shelter has it. She said when the winter temperatures become incredibly dangerous, the shelters have to figure out a place for people to be and bringing them indoors creates a risky environment for the spread of COVID-19. She has tried to keep numbers down in the Gladys Ray Shelter, she said, and ideally, there could be shelter at Gladys Ray for 25 people a night; however, in the last 60 days, the average has been 33 or more on any given night. She said that has caused challenges in terms of trying to stop the spread of COVID-19, which has caused a considerable amount of stress for individuals seeking shelter due to the fact that shelters just by nature are a high-risk setting. She said while she continues to collaborate with other shelters facing the same things, they are all trying to make sure there is enough space for people who need a place to be and to make sure there is enough space to provide isolation or quarantine opportunities. At the Downtown Engagement Center, she said, there has been an average of 20 people staying for an extended period of time, which has proven difficult due to staffing issues. The numbers have dropped considerably for now, she said, and she is hopeful the Center can ride out the rest of the pandemic with lower numbers; however, she never knows what is going to come next. The Gladys Ray Shelter is continuously understaffed, she said, and within the Harm Reduction Division of Public Health, it is hard to find staff. She said that is the story for most industries; however, even before the pandemic, it was a struggle to find direct service staff. In general, she said, she does not think there has been an increase in the number of people who are homeless; it is just more the challenge of providing a safe space for them. Some of the other things putting pressure on the shelter system is when the jail was having challenges related to COVID-19, they were releasing people and hospitals are discharging sooner or are less likely to admit.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking who are the homeless, Ms. Eliassen said she tries to come up with the best picture she can of the homeless, including single unaccompanied males or females and family members. There are an estimated 1,000 homeless people in the community on any given night, she said, which does not include those precariously housed, those who are couch surfing or going wherever they can. She said it is hard to know exact numbers; however, due to the pandemic and other factors, many people are in dire straits.
In response to a question from Commissioner Preston asking about the timing of the annual State of Homelessness Reports, Ms. Eliassen said she did participate in the report, which should be out in a couple of months and will have information from every region in the State by county and city.
In response to a question from Commissioner Preston asking about activity at the Downtown Engagement Center, Ms. Eliassen said the Center could provide a number of different services, somewhat like a one-stop shop that provides opportunities for the homeless to get connected to things such as health services; however, it is limited in terms of how many services it can offer due to staff shortages. In the future, she said, it is her hope it would house a number of different service providers and have the space for different engagement activities so community members could be a part of the solution. She said for example, people could come in and assist with art, music, just about anything so homeless people have connections within the community that are healthy and meaningful.
Fee Increase Schedule for the Inspections Department Approved Effective March 1, 2022:
Inspections Director Shawn Ouradnik said he is proposing a fee increase schedule for the Inspections Department for the next 5 years for residential and commercial permits. He said the total increase for residential fees would be 42 percent in the base rate and 16 percent for fees above $1,000.00 over the next five years. For commercial permits, he said, the base rate will increase by 37.5 percent and 16 percent for permits over $1,000.00 over the next 5 years. After 5 years, he said, Inspections will re-evaluate the fees and fee increase schedule. He said this gives contractors and homeowners a chance to evaluate budgets and plan submittals of projects accordingly as well as being transparent with the increases for the next few years. Demolition permits would increase minimally for residential and commercial, he said, and moving permits would be increased to have a more uniform and constant fee to decrease confusion. Plan review fees would have a slight increase, he said; however, this would not impact the majority of commercial plans as most incur plan review fees greater than $50.00. Other fees would also increase, he said, including a $75.00 fee for each reinspection after the first reinspection. In researching the fee changes, he said, he compared fees with other major cities in North Dakota and Minnesota. All of the Minnesota cities had additional fees attached to permits such as a state surcharge and other city-specific fees that bumped up the initial fees, he said. Fargo has not increased its fees since 2018, he said, and by using the 5-year schedule, customers will be able to plan accordingly.
In response to a question from Commissioner Gehrig asking if the reason the rates are increasing is to keep up with other communities, Mr. Ouradnik said it is and it gives the City a chance to raise the fees gradually over five years, then fees can be re-evaluated, depending on the market.
Commissioner Gehrig said he does not like raising fees just because it has not happened in a while.
Commissioner Strand said it appears it is not a budgetary need to increase fees.
In response to a question from Commissioner Preston asking if there are multiple fees on projects, Mr. Ouradnik said there are. He said for example, a commercial project pays a permit fee, a plan review fee, electrical fees to the State and other fees for HVAC and plumbing.
Commissioner Preston said she is concerned that at the same time the City is embarking on a Housing Rehabilitation Program for the core neighborhoods, it is piling on more building fees.
Mr. Ouradnik said all fees are based on the valuation of a project and as an example, for a $100,000.00 project, the permit fee would go from $35.00 to $50.00 over five years, which is not a terribly large increase. He said he wants to stay ahead of it so the City is not popping from $35.00 to $50.00 all at once.
Commissioner Piepkorn said Inspections is in his portfolio and he is much more in favor of gradual increases instead of all at once.
Commissioner Piepkorn moved the fee increase schedule for the Inspections Department be approved, as presented, effective March 1, 2022.
Second by Preston. On call of the roll Commissioners Piepkorn, Preston and Mahoney voted aye.
Commissioners Gehrig and Strand voted nay.
The motion was declared carried.
Recommendation to Sell City-Owned Property at 1 – 2nd Street South Referred to the Community Development Committee:
Director of Strategic Planning Jim Gilmour said the City Commission directed preparation of a Riverfront Renewal Plan in October 2020, which was completed and adopted by the City Commission in April 2021. He said the Plan included actions to sell several City-owned properties for redevelopment. A Request for Proposals and selection criteria for the three properties was approved by the City Commission in September and October 2021 and proposals were due in November, he said. Three proposals were submitted for the 1 - 2nd Street South property, he said, which were reviewed by the Economic Development Incentives Committee and the Renaissance Zone Authority. Of the eight members of these Committees voting at a January 25th meeting, he said, five of the members voted to recommend selection of the proposal from EPIC Companies, which is a mixed-use building that will be part of a complex including two previously approved new buildings. The 7-story building will have 30 condominiums, 37 apartments, 15,000 square feet of commercial space and interior parking, he said, and the building will cost $28 million. The offer for the property is $1,188,000.00 with construction to begin in the fall of 2022, he said, with planned completion in late 2023.
In response to a question from Commissioner Piepkorn asking about proceeds from the property sale going to the Diversion Authority, Mr. Gilmour said one of the conditions of the Diversion Authority agreement is when any property acquired with Diversion Authority money in the name of the City or the County, money from the sale of any of those properties would go back to the Diversion Authority, less any administrative costs.
Commissioner Piepkorn said when this area is completed it will be a campus of different types of housing and mixed-use buildings and will be a great gateway to the City.
Commissioner Strand said the City has three properties owned by the public and very seldom is there an opportunity to transition publicly-owned assets to the private sector and the City needs to get the greatest good for the people from these assets. He said these properties were reviewed by the Economic Development Incentives Committee and the Renaissance Zone Authority and their jobs are not the same when it comes to vetting proposals and looking at finances and numbers. He said the Community Development Committee (CDC) should discuss these proposals since that Committee looks at affordable housing, Downtown development and neighborhood redevelopment. He said it would be remiss to not bring the CDC to the table to hear its guidance about what it thinks is needed.
Commissioner Strand moved the Recommendation to Sell City-Owned Property at 1 – 2nd Street South be referred to the Community Development Committee for further review.
Second by Preston. On call of the roll Commissioners Strand, Preston and Mahoney voted aye.
Commissioners Gehrig and Piepkorn voted nay.
The motion was declared carried.
Appropriate Staff Directed to Draft a Renewal Plan, Development Agreement and Financing Plan for Redevelopment of the NP Avenue Parking Lot Site:
Director of Strategic Planning Jim Gilmour said the new Economic Development Incentives Policy describes the process for public-private partnerships that include Tax Increment Financing Districts. He said the first review is with the Economic Development Incentives Committee, which makes a recommendation to the City Commission, which decides if staff should proceed with the development of a Renewal Plan, financial review, and preparation of a Development Agreement and financing plan for publicly funded activities. The City owns a parking lot on NP Avenue, he said, and Global Development owns an adjacent parking lot. In discussions with Global Development, he said, it was agreed that the site is very suitable for a mixed-use development, with parking, housing and commercial space similar to the Roberts Commons and Mercantile projects. Kilbourne Group would also be a partner in this public-private partnership, he said. The proposed development would be a small hotel or event center on Broadway, commercial space at ground level on NP Avenue, a parking garage with up to 600 parking spaces and upper floors with 150 to 200 apartments, he said. The EDIC reviewed the concept and recommends City staff work on a Renewal Plan for this project, he said, and the work will need to include City financial adviser review, drafting a Development Agreement and development of options to finance public parking and public infrastructure.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking if there was an opportunity for anyone else in the public to bid on the property or submit a proposal, Mr. Gilmour said the City owns 60 percent of the site and he visited with Global Development to suggest the City and Global Development jointly do an RFP to see what kind of development proposals came forth. He said if the City owned the entire site, that would certainly be a good way to go; however, in this case, if the City made just its property available for development, there is not enough room to do both parking and development.
In response to a question from Commissioner Piepkorn asking how long the lot was vacant prior to the City purchasing it, Mr. Gilmour said it had been vacant for many years and was an NSP Power Plant at one time before it was owned by the railroad, who later sold portions of the lot to Global Development and the City.
Warren Ackley, Global Development, said they wanted to work with the Kilbourne Group due to what they have seen Kilbourne do in Fargo, including the Mercantile, Roberts Commons and Block 9. He said it is fantastic and much appreciated that Kilbourne Group did not debilitate the streets Downtown during construction of Block 9 and were able to keep Broadway open throughout construction. There will be some issues with NP Avenue during construction of this project, he said, and he thinks Kilbourne Group will do an outstanding job.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking if it is a statuary requirement with a public asset that the City get the best dollar it can, Mr. Gilmour said when it is a public-private partnership, similar to Block 9 where they City owned a portion of the site, there is a lot of flexibility in State law in terms of working with a private developer.
In response to a question from Commissioner Preston asking how many parking spaces would be available for the public to use, Mr. Gilmour said it would be about 600 parking spots, depending on Global Development’s needs. He said Walker Consultants is coming up with a parking number for the City for this area and the City does not want to build 400 spaces if the need is 600 and vice versa.
Commissioner Gehrig said he wants to reiterate that every ramp the City owns loses money and when the TIFs come off, the City will be losing hundreds of thousands of dollars every year per ramp and the more ramps that are built, the more in debt the City will be. He said when repairs need to be done to the ramps in 20 or 30 years, the City will go into debt even further.
Mr. Gilmour said he disagrees and once the ramps are paid for, they tend to generate more income, which covers the cost of repairs.
Commissioner Preston said parking ramps add value to the surrounding properties and whether they make a profit or not, they support the density of development that is going on around them and the City would not be able to have the development without the parking ramps.
Commissioner Piepkorn said it is important to have leaders with vision otherwise there would be a Downtown with a bunch of flat parking lots, which is what the City has had for many years. He said it takes vision, courage and risk to have a beautiful Downtown.
Commissioner Strand said in the new policy regarding TIFs and public-private partnerships, the process needs to involve discussions and typically, there will be a site that is difficult to develop and a need for public infrastructure or developer assistance to make the development financially feasible or physically possible.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking what is difficult with this site, Commissioner Piepkorn said one of the difficulties about building Downtown is the staging of the construction. He said when doing greenfield construction, everything can be stored on site; however, to build Downtown and to keep the streets open, everything has to be staged offsite and be delivered in the right order.
Mr. Gilmour said infrastructure on NP Avenue needs to be upgraded, so that is the other challenge.
Mr. Ackley said he has been Downtown for 42 years and the growth of Downtown has been remarkable to see and a big part of that growth are the parking ramps and apartments. He said this is a very exciting project, it is 50,000 square feet and without additional parking, redevelopment cannot happen.
Commissioner Piepkorn moved appropriate staff be directed to draft a Renewal Plan, Development Agreement and financing plan for redevelopment of the NP Avenue parking lot site.
Second by Preston. On call of the roll Commissioners Piepkorn, Preston and Mahoney voted aye.
Commissioners Gehrig and Strand voted nay.
The motion was declared carried.
Fargo Police Department Crime Report:
Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski said residents have been raising concerns about speeding and other traffic incidents and he shared a chart showing there were 2,079 traffic citations in 2021, up from 1,377 in 2020 and 2,105 in 2019. Exhibition driving tickets went from 25 in 2019 to 50 in 2021, he said; however, tickets for reckless driving, careless driving, drag racing and speeding in school zone violations were down from 2019. He noted that State law does not allow cameras to catch license plates on speeding vehicles. Some targeted enforcement was done after complaints in the Roosevelt, Rose Creek, Bennett and Southpointe neighborhoods, he stated, and officers plan to do those types of targeted enforcements again. The most speeding citations were in the 1200 to 1700 blocks of 10th Street North, he said, followed by the 2500 to 3600 blocks of 64th Avenue South and the 2100 to 4000 blocks of 25th Street South. He said violent and property crimes increased in Fargo in 2021, with violent crimes up from 534 in 2020 to 635 in 2021; however, the rate of clearing the cases was up from 30 percent in 2020 to 39 percent in 2021. He said unlike many other states, officers in North Dakota cannot make an arrest in many misdemeanor cases unless the officer actually sees it happening with the exceptions being driving while intoxicated, domestic and simple assaults where bodily injuries were not seen, huffing and protection order violations. Aggravated assaults were up from 378 to 531, he stated, and the clearing rate for that crime went from 36 percent to 47 percent. There were 7 murders in 2020, he said, and 6 murders in 2021 with two of the murders unsolved in 2020 and one unsolved in 2021. He said other data of 2020 vs. 2021 included: 94 sexual assaults vs. 87; 62 robberies vs. 104; 1,014 burglaries vs. 1,339; 26 arson vs. 33; and 487 motor vehicle thefts vs. 606. In total, he said, there were 2,061 offenses in 2020 vs. 2,613 in 2021. He said the State and Federal Bureau of Investigations statistics will be out in late summer or fall 2022 and at that time, comparisons can be made to similar sized cities.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking if arrests are not being made due to the fact that the Cass County Jail is full, Chief Zibolski said the pandemic has caused overcrowding issues at the jail, which was built to house two inmates per cell. Due to COVID-19, he said, only one inmate per cell is allowed, which has been problematic.
In response to a question from Commissioner Piepkorn asking about an incident at a local pawn shop, where there was video evidence of someone vandalizing cars, Chief Zibolski said that case has been referred to the State’s Attorney office for charges and it is State law that officers cannot in most cases make an arrest unless they see it happening.
Commissioner Piepkorn said once criminals find out that nothing will happen to them, people will take matters into their own hands and that is not a good recipe. He said if this is State law, perhaps the City Commission needs to help the Legislature clarify this law.
Quarterly Report on Hate Crimes:
Fargo Police Chief David Zibolski said he conducted an audit to determine if there have been any cases filed under the City's new Hate Crimes Ordinances in the 4th quarter of 2021, and there were three incident reports in which a bias motivation was initially listed under one of the three City of Fargo Hate Crime Ordinances: simple assault, criminal mischief or harassment. He said two incidents had the bias motivation removed from the case after further review and one was a harassment case, which lacked evidence and did not meet the elements of the offense required. One case, he said, involved an alleged assault in which there was no evidence to support the suspect had a bias motivation. He said the remaining case involved a victim being punched several times after the suspect repeatedly used anti-homosexual slurs. That case was charged out in Municipal Court for simple assault hate crime, he said, and is pending trial.
