Application for Abatement or Refund of Taxes #4638 for Property Located at 905 1st Street North Denied:
City Assessor Michael Splonskowski said regarding the occurrence in the prior year, the value should be the same as the current year’s value. He said the Assessor’s Office analysis showed there were many comparable sales for this property and the value is well-supported and equalized between the comparable properties. There are some condition issues with the basement of the property, he stated; however, the overall condition of the property is considered average. Based on that, he said, the Assessor’s Department is recommending there be no change in value for this abatement.
Commissioner Piepkorn moved, based upon Mr. Splonskowski's recommendation, that the application for abatement or refund of taxes #4638 for property located at 905 1st Street North requesting a reduction in value for 2025 be denied.

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

Bid Award to PCI Municipal Services, LLC for Downtown Fargo Parking Operator Approved:
Planning Director Nicole Crutchfield said the current parking operator was initially contracted in 2014 following a Request for Proposal (RFP) process. That contract has been amended numerous times to reflect other parking scope changes over the years, she said; however, a new, comprehensive parking contract for parking operations was needed to reflect all of the updated conditions in Downtown Fargo. She said in April 2025, the City kicked off a comprehensive study of parking in Downtown, which included inventory and utilization of both on- and off-street parking facilities, evaluating parking service delivery models and parking governance structure including recommendations for efficiency and improvement for the parking system holistically. She said an RFP for parking management services and evaluation, and developing operation and maintenance guidance for parking facilities was also developed. On September 26, 2025, she said, an Informational Meeting was held for the City Commission where findings of the study were presented and direction of the draft RFP were shared and discussed. On October 27, 2025 the City Commission received and filed the Parking Study and authorized staff to publish the RFP, she said. The evaluation criteria identified in the RFP consisted of qualification and experience, professional services provided and a budget template, she said. On December 11, 2025, the City received five proposals and an Evaluation Committee comprised of representatives from City departments involved in municipal parking interviewed all five proposals and shortlisted the candidates to three proposals, she stated. Of the three, she said, another round of interviews was conducted and the Evaluation Committee selected PCI Municipal Services, LLC to operate Fargo's parking program based on it being the best proposal to meet all of the evaluation criteria in the RFP. She said she is seeking City Commission approval to accept the Evaluation Committee recommendation to begin contract negotiations and a transition plan, and it is expected staff will come back to the City Commission with a contract in about 30 to 45 days.
Warren Ackley and Randy Thorson spoke.
Assistant Planning Director Mark Williams said five submissions were received from across the country, including one from the incumbent. According to the score sheets, he said, PCI Municipal Services is the top recommended candidate and the incumbent placed third in the scoring. What stood out about PCI is their exclusive focus on municipal services, he stated. Unlike many firms, they do not handle private operations, he said and they bring more than 35 years of nationwide experience. He said while PCI is a mid-sized firm similar to Interstate, it was discovered that while the City is one of Interstate's largest clients and perhaps outgrew some of their services, PCI offers a wider range of tools and nationwide resources that he was not even aware of that were available until this RFP process.
Ms. Crutchfield said as the process moves into the next steps, the Committee will engage in stakeholder meetings and more detailed contractual negotiations. She said she recognizes that this contract focuses primarily on operations and for clarity on other parking agreements, the contract with Mercantile expires in about two years, and the P3 agreement with the NP Garage currently operates as a 30-day revolving agreement.
Commissioner Piepkorn said this shift is very important, as it represents the gradual maturation of the City’s Downtown parking strategy. He said having sat in on several of the interviews, what he liked best was the move toward a truly integrated system. He said the City is finally combining on-street parking, flat lots and ramp parking into one cohesive effort, which is essential for the City’s growth. Looking ahead, when this comes back to the City Commission for a final decision, he said, he would like to see specific revenue estimates and projections. He said if PCI is awarded the bid, what exactly are they projecting for the City’s future returns. He said he also wants to address the new ramp next to Old Broadway. Even though it is still under construction, he stated, it is a great facility; however, the City needs to do more to ensure people actually start using it once the construction is complete. He said he views this new partnership as the next level for the City’s parking management and one of the most exciting factors is the level of technology this group utilizes, which is exactly what the City needs for the future. He said he is looking forward to seeing this move forward.
Commissioner Strand said he has had several business owners reach out to him regarding parking issues, specifically those with businesses on Broadway. He said they are reporting that contractors working on nearby buildings are parking their work vehicles in prime spots for days on end and it seems the current fines are so low that the workers would rather pay the penalty than move their vehicles. He said he wants to know how much enforcement is actually being conducted Downtown.
Mr. Williams said there is a decent level of enforcement in the Downtown area; however, there have been some challenges over the last couple of years regarding parking enforcement equipment. He said he agrees that contractor parking is an issue that needs to be addressed and another thing that gets people upset is when dumpsters show up on parking spots and are parked there for a long period of time. These are things he will be working on and something that will be examined as part of the broader strategy as this new contract is put together.
Commissioner Kolpack said after reviewing the information, the RFP process was fully vetted with the staff that replaced the Parking Commission and was transparent along the way.
In response to a question from Commissioner Kolpack asking about operations versus next staff-sensitive involvement with community stakeholders and the transparency that’s going to happen when it comes back to the City Commission for final approval, Ms. Crutchfield said having worked for the City since 2007, she has had the privilege of working under several administrations and watching this City significantly evolve. She said when she first started, the City was operating asphalt parking lots filled with potholes and using a handwritten system and there was virtually no enforcement. Since then, she said, the City has transitioned alongside the renaissance of Downtown and now the City manages more than $100 million in assets and buildings, which requires a dedicated Facilities Director and a collaborative effort across eight different departments to handle day-to-day operations as well as the City’s involvement in three separate condo associations. Despite the technical complexity, she said, there is still an absolute need for public engagement and community outreach. The veteran business owners Downtown have survived a lot of transitions, she stated, and parking is a vital part of that formula. The Planning Department, alongside the Downtown Community Partnership and the Business Improvement District, continue to work on strategy development with the Downtown Task Force and the community at large, she stated. Looking ahead, she said, she anticipates more informational meetings and focus groups due to the fact that there are difficult decisions on the horizon. Regarding the financial operations, she said, the City has significant debt management responsibilities for these facilities. For instance, she stated, the two-hour free parking was originally removed to feed into the debt management program for the ramp. She said when she saw that was not working as intended, the City worked with Kilbourne to adjust that and changes are coming in the days ahead. She said daily operations are complex and she believes PCI will act as a staff lead in these discussions, working in tandem with the other departments. A key factor that distinguished PCI during the selection process is they focus purely on municipal operations, she said, unlike other vendors, they do not have competing private investment priorities. She said she is eager to dedicate as much time as the City Commission and the public will give to navigate these difficult strategic discussions moving forward.
Commissioner Piepkorn moved the bid for a Downtown Fargo Parking Operator be awarded to PCI Municipal Services, LLC.

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

Appeal of a Historic Preservation Commission Decision for a Certificate of Appropriateness and Variance of Special Development Standards at 1123 6th Street South Approved:
Planning Director Nicole Crutchfield said the appeal involves a property at 1123 6th Street South in the Hawthorne neighborhood. The owners received a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) in September 2025 and began a $250,000.00 investment to nearly double the square footage of their home, she said. However, during a final inspection in January, it was discovered that the addition’s roof height is approximately five to eight inches taller than the original structure, she said. While this height is perfectly legal under the standard building and land development codes, she stated, it violates the strict standards of the Historic Overlay. She said the owner was caught between conflicting requirements: the building code’s egress and safety standards necessitated certain heights, while the historic standards forbade them. Due to the fact that the HPC denied a variance for this height difference on February 7th, the case is now before the City Commission and the Commission is hearing this as a de novo case, meaning the Commission can make their own determination regardless of the HPC's previous action. From a staff perspective, she said, Planning supports this investment as it modernizes a home for a growing family in a core neighborhood, which aligns with the Growth Plan. There was some admitted miscommunication between the Planning Department and Inspections that contributed to this situation, she stated and both departments are working to provide better service stability moving forward.
Commissioner Turnberg said she is confused by how this reached this point. She said if there was a lack of communication between departments, she apologizes to the homeowner and this a wonderful investment in the core neighborhood.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking what kind of teeth actually exists in the Historic Preservation Ordinance and if the Commission were to deny this, what is the remedy and would the Commission really force the homeowners to tear down a new roof for a matter of a few inches, Ms. Crutchfield said the City could fine the homeowners $1,000.00 a day in Municipal Court; however, that is difficult to implement. She said she is surprised the HPC is fighting over this and she has not seen them fight this hard to save buildings that are actually at risk of being demolished. It seems odd to penalize a homeowner for a high-quality addition, she said.
Commissioner Kolpack said it feels like the builder and homeowner got caught in a trap through no fault of their own. She said the City needs to find a way forward, get this done and then tweak the Code so this does not happen to anyone else. She said it would be better if departments communicated earlier so a homeowner is not told “no” after the building is already standing. She said she is happy to see the homeowner investing in the neighborhood and this looks like a fantastic addition for their family.
Ms. Crutchfield said this will be the heart of discussions as the Land Development Code (LDC) moves into the review stage. She said starting in March, Planning will hold Code Connect meetings to dive into these details regarding Historic Preservation and core neighborhoods. Her hope is that these conflicting standards will be ratified and simplified in the new code, she stated.
Commissioner Kolpack moved the appeal of a Historic Preservation Commission Decision for a Certificate of Appropriateness and Variance of Special Development Standards at 1123 6th Street South be approved.

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

Arts and Culture Commission Governance and Operational Changes Approved:
Planning Director Nicole Crutchfield said the Arts and Culture Commission (ACC) proposal stems from a January 5, 2026 City Commission motion requiring a final report on the transition within two months. She said the shift in operations is driven by the fact that public art program funding was not allocated for 2025 or 2026, alongside a strategic pivot by the Planning Department to prioritize the Land Development Code (LDC) and Housing and Urban Development (HUD) program development. This recommendation is the result of four working sessions held by the ACC throughout 2024 and 2025 to re-evaluate its priorities and goals in light of these fiscal and departmental changes, she stated. The ACC was established in 2014 as a primary recommendation of the GO2030 Comprehensive Plan, she stated, following extensive public engagement and a Task Force comprised of local arts and business leaders. Since its inception, she said, the ACC has overseen the adoption of the City’s first Public Arts Master Plan in 2018 and facilitated major creative placemaking projects such as The Fargo Project: World Garden Commons, which successfully leveraged more than $1 million in grant funding from organizations such as the National Endowment for the Arts and the Kresge Foundation to integrate public art with flood mitigation. These efforts lead to some to high-profile installations, she said, such as the new water tower mural and the 64th Avenue South bridge. The long-term impact of this work is detailed in the "Ripples of Impact" 10-year report, she said. Moving forward, while neither the Planning Department nor the City’s General Fund currently supports public art development, she said, the operational model anticipates potential future opportunities over a 10-year horizon. These may include collaborations with Visit FM for the new Convention Center, integration into future public infrastructure projects or new grant opportunities through State and Federal agencies, she stated. To maintain readiness without incurring costs, she said, staff suggests keeping the existing Ordinance and bylaws as-is and placing all Board activity and work plans on permanent hold. The Planning Department has already removed routine meetings from its schedule, she said and no budget items exist for the ACC in 2026. Any future work or program development would require explicit pre-approval from the City Commission through the standard budget or work plan process, she said. The recommendation is to confirm these governance and operational changes as presented, she stated, following the broader review of Boards and Commissions initiated on January 5th. This approach preserves the structural framework established over the last 10 years while ensuring that no financial or administrative resources are expended during this period of inactivity, she said. By maintaining the current Ordinance, she said, the City retains the flexibility to reactivate arts programming should funding or infrastructure opportunities arise in the future without the need to recreate the governance structure from scratch.
Christopher Coen spoke.
Commissioner Kolpack said it was important to bring this forward now that the ACC’s primary work has concluded and the recommendations are theirs and she fully supports and endorses them. She said this transition is similar to how the Historic Preservation Commission or the Economic Development Incentives Committee are managed, who meet on an as-needed basis. The original goal of this request was to find operational efficiencies, she stated, while keeping the City focused on its core mission and this proposal achieves both.
Commissioner Turnberg said the Native American Commission has successfully rallied to create their own independent group that meets on Monday nights and ensure their work continues without being a formal arm of the City, yet they know they can reach out to the City anytime they have something to bring forward. She said she would suggest the Commission disband the formal ACC; however, she encourages the arts community to continue meeting independently, as many already do. She said it does not necessarily have to be an official City entity and when a specific agenda item arises that requires the City Commission’s attention, the City Commission can put those items on the meeting agenda at any time.
Commissioner Kolpack said in response to the idea of a completely independent group, she wants to clarify the specific role of the ACC. The City frequently hears from grantors and grantees who present projects specifically tailored for the City, she said. Having this group available on-call, much like the Historic Preservation Commission, allows them to do work on behalf of the City whenever requested, she stated. Beyond being on-call, she said, there are numerous construction and infrastructure projects where the City can interject and incorporate public art into the final design concepts and this is very much the work of the City.
In response to a question from Mayor Mahoney asking if the cost of having a meeting is essentially just the use of this facility and is there a significant financial burden to maintaining the ACC as-needed, Ms. Crutchfield said the real difference is operational. She said she does not see any foreseeable work in the near future; therefore, from a staff energy perspective, the load is basically zero. She said if she were to receive a call from the National Endowment for the Arts saying they had a million dollars for the City, then she would be contacting the ACC members, otherwise, the ACC would not meet until there are actual work items to address. If the City did receive a grant, she said, the City could charge administrative costs back to the grant.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking what is the role of the Arts Partnership going forward under this proposal, Ms. Crutchfield said she is not proposing any changes to that relationship and that would be a discussion for the 2027 budget process. She said currently there is a $90,000.00 line item in the City budget for the Arts Partnership, which exists outside the ACC. She said it is a grant program administered completely by the Arts Partnership and City staff does not touch that money. She said it has been a budget line item for about 50 years; however, it is separate from the Planning Department’s work. She said as administrators of the public art program, Planning has very little involvement with the Arts Partnership unless there is a community event with shared duties.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking about the history of the ACC and what did the City do before that if there were grants, Ms. Crutchfield said the City would likely have worked directly with the Arts Partnership.
Commissioner Strand said he has lived and breathed the arts world in Fargo for decades and he does not think anything is more valuable to a community than its culture. However, he said, he feels like the City Commission is kicking the can down the road and putting life into nothing. He said to call it an ad hoc committee and say the City will call them when the City needs them is an insult. Art is more valuable than that, he stated and the City should either go full bore and run a proper commission like other boards or acknowledge the City is not doing it right and let it go. He said this proposal feels like pablum designed not to offend people. He said his position is that unless there is a compelling reason to bring people to the table to fight for the arts, the City should not waste their time.
Mayor Mahoney said the ACC has worked hard to find a viable solution and this structure is really no different from other groups the City utilizes. He said the City does not call them together constantly; however, they are there when they are needed. Over the years, Planning staff have had various questions about how to handle specific arts initiatives, and rather than leaving those decisions to a small group, they have been deliberated by artists and community members. These individuals serve in an advisory capacity on a variety of things, he stated, including potential grants. He said this proposal is a reasonable compromise to remain an advisory body that convenes when staff requires their expertise. This process has been a wake-up call for many of the City’s boards, he said and he believes this is the right solution.
Commissioner Kolpack moved that the Arts and Culture Commission Governance and Operational Changes be approved, as presented.

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

Immigration-Related Enforcement and Use of Force Overview:
Police Chief David Zibolski said that while the U.S. Constitution grants the Federal government exclusive authority over immigration, the Fargo Police Department recently completed specific training on the subject. He said the Fargo Police Department is not a 287(g) agency, meaning its officers are not deputized to enforce federal immigration law. He distinguished between criminal violations, such as unlawful entry or illegal re-entry, and civil violations, such as overstaying a visa. He said the Fargo Police Department only engages in matters involving actual or alleged violations of State or City laws. If an officer has reasonable suspicion of a criminal federal immigration violation during a lawful contact, he said, they may detain an individual for a reasonable period to verify their status with Federal officials; however, officers do not detain individuals for civil violations. He said that use-of-force policies are governed by constitutional case law and are applied only to protect lives, regardless of the underlying offense.
Christopher Coen spoke.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking about a recent Police release that included photos of protesters who allegedly blocked traffic in front of ICE agents, asking if this was an unusual use of media and surveillance technology, Chief Zibolski said the Department routinely releases photos to identify individuals suspected of infractions or crimes. He said that while previous protest organizers worked collaboratively with Police to ensure safety, the group in question refused to engage with the Police Department, leading to the identification effort. He said 65% of public perception is driven by media reports and he urged caution regarding social media accuracy.
Commissioner Turnberg said she wants to express her gratitude to all those who serve, including local officers, Federal officers and ICE agents. She said she recently spoke with a close friend, who is a New American, and asked them if they felt nervous given the current climate. She said her friend laughed at the suggestion, and their perspective was why on earth would they be nervous? She said someone can be the kindest person in the world; however, if they rob a bank, they are still going to be charged with armed robbery. She thanked the Police for the work they do protecting the community and she said she will continue to offer her full support to the Police and ICE.
