To the United States of America. For those one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

00:00:43,970	Next up, we have a approval of the agenda. Any additions or changes to the agenda? Seeing none. What are the wishes? I move to approve the agenda. Second. We have a motion and a second to approve the agenda. Questions? Comments. Otherwise, miss. Please call. Roll. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.

00:01:14,370	Yes. Next up, we have public comment. Anybody in the audience wishing to talk to anybody on the agenda? Anybody talk anything on the agenda? Going once, twice. Seeing nobody. We’ll move on next to the administrative report. Uh, Doctor Bitz, you wanted. Yeah.

00:01:38,070	I’d like to introduce, uh, Mitch Bitz from the Mandan Fire Department. He’s our the fire chief, and he’s going to talk about, uh, the upcoming or the future of the Mandan Fire Department and the response times. To schools. Um, we’ve had some issues. Uh, not issues, but. Well, we’ve had issues where we’ve had to call 911.

00:01:58,170	Um, and when you call 911 and you’re waiting, it feels like forever. I know the fire department is doing their best they can, but, uh, he’s going to talk a little bit about that and about response times, and I’ll turn it over to him. Thank you. Doctor. Uh, President Horn and members of the board.

00:02:16,330	Um, thank you for inviting us out this evening and allowing us the opportunity just to take a few minutes of your time. Um, as mentioned, there are everything we do in the fire department is based on response times. And, um, across our entire community, we evaluate constantly what our times are.

00:02:34,630	Um, our goal is to get to 90% of our calls within four minutes or less. It’s a it’s a pretty high goal to hit, but we feel like, um, it’s obtainable for most of our city.

00:02:48,370	Uh, right now, currently, as our fire department is sitting today where we, um, do not meet that time is up in the northwest part of town. Um, but as in, I’ll go. I got a short slide presentation here, but just keep in mind that, yes, we have an immediate problem in the northwest part of town, but as we bolster the response in that specific, uh, section of our town, we also build redundancies into station one

00:03:05,600	and station two capacity as well, to respond to all the schools and the entire city at large. So I’ll just go ahead and kick off our slide.

00:03:20,370	Um, you know, we really looked at after the last couple of years, um, truck lead times are, you know, used to be 8 or 9 months for a build time. Now they’re, um, 4 to 5 years in some cases. So it’s really forced our hand to look at, um, long term planning and budgeting. And the price continues to go up just like everything else.

00:03:35,430	So we really looked at a long term plan. And what does that look like? Um, and really what we need is we need a third fire station up in the northwest part of town to serve the Red trail area.

00:03:51,530	And if we’re going to do that, we also looked at building an emergency operations center or a command center, along with station three, something that all of our county and city facilities, not all of them, but majority, uh, are located in the downtown area, which is in between two rivers. Um, they’re both controlled with large structures. The Missouri River is controlled by the Garrison Dam and the lower Heart River or Heart River is controlled by the levee system.

00:04:11,630	Both are man made structures. They’re very well built. Um, but flooding is a potential. So we looked at what does a successful build look like if we’re building a station up on the hill. And so we’d put a fire station with a, uh, emergency operations center or command center in that station.

00:04:28,270	Um, we’re in early conversations with Morton County right now to look at Co emergency management, along with our fire station up there. And then, of course, we need trucks for that station. And we have to replace, uh, one of our other trucks in our fleet. And we need some updates on our current stations.

00:04:46,370	So the bottom line, what’s the bottom line up front is in 2027 or 2028, the starring sports complex is going to be paid off once that tax is paid off. That three quarter percent sales tax that’s currently in place. Our ask is to reallocate that existing sales tax.

00:05:05,730	And, uh, redirect it toward the fire department long term improvement plan. So that’s the bottom line up front. Um, you know, our mission vision values, we take these very serious. And just like you guys, we don’t make willy nilly decisions. All of our decisions are data driven. Uh, most of it relates to that response. Something like Doctor Bitz had mentioned.

00:05:25,500	Um, you know, this slide here, it’s it’s no secret. And you guys are experiencing the same thing as our continuing our community continues to grow. Uh, the calls for service also continue to grow. And we’ve had a 62% increase in calls for service over the last ten years.

00:05:45,970	Um, even though we’re we’re starting, we’re very we’re starting to be very intentional with which calls we go on. Um, we’re not going to every nine on one call in the city anymore. We’re starting to only we’re trying to prioritize to life threats or like, uh, structure fires and more, more significant calls. Um, but 20% of our calls are overlapping at the same time.

00:06:01,500	So what that means is station one and station two are both out on an assignment at the same time. So if there would be that third emergency, whether it be a minor call or a severe call, there’d be nobody immediately available to respond.

00:06:18,330	So again, as I mentioned, if we build station three and staff it, not only does it fix the response in that area, but it also allows personnel to be available for the rest of the city. Um, currently, as I mentioned, we have, you know, two fire stations, station one in the downtown Collins and first Street Northwest.

00:06:34,270	And uh, station two down in Lakewood, which is right off of 40th Avenue. And those stations serve us well. But you can see the gap in the circle upper station. And the proposed station three is, um, with the goal of getting 90% of our calls within four minutes or less. We realize we can’t build our church for Easter Sunday.

00:06:50,270	There’s still some small gaps on the far northwest part of town, up in the developers area, and then down in the southeast part or south southeast. I’m sorry, uh, but we feel like station three is a responsible way position would would be positioned responsibly to help fill that gap immediately.

00:07:14,470	Today, just to kind of help illustrate what we’re looking at. We did take some, uh, travel times up to the Red Trail Elementary School. Um, currently from our station one, which is the primary response today. The drive time alone is about 11 minutes.

00:07:30,900	And that’s not allowing for any time for somebody to call 911 or dispatch to process that call, or for our personnel to get into the truck and actually drive up there. So it’s a minimum of 11 minutes of drive time. So if station one is on a call, as I mentioned earlier, 20% of the time calls are stacked up on top of each other.

00:07:47,970	That means station two would have to respond. And now that again goes from 11 minutes to a minimum of 13 minutes, and we leave the southeast part of town, uh, uncovered at that point. So and the question is, is does response times matter? And of course they do.

00:08:04,500	Um, this is kind of a busy slide here, but the there’s two, two, uh, kind of heavy hitters that are brain damage occurs with within about four minutes in the event of a cardiac arrest or a choking or something like that. So the earlier we can intervene in that situation, the higher the outcome is for survivability.

00:08:22,600	Um, fire growth is really, really changing. And I’d love to come back when you guys are, uh, board sometime and give a presentation on fire dynamics. But fire hasn’t changed. But what we’re burning in fires has changed significantly. Um, you know, the the old furniture was built solid wood, solid oak material.

00:08:38,600	It could withstand fire. And when it did burn, it wasn’t very poisonous. Nowadays, um, the chairs were all sitting. I’m not sitting, but you guys are sitting. Um, it’s all hydro, chemical or petroleum? Chemical based. So it it cannot take fire very well. And when it does burn, it’s extremely toxic.

00:08:57,430	Um, so the gases that are off gassing in modern fires are, um, much more poisonous than what they used to be. So, uh, just again, driving home the point that, um, it fire is as safe as our society is becoming.

00:09:12,370	Um, it’s not as safe as we’d like to think it is when a fire does occur. So. So the question is, will my taxes go up? Um, no, this is not a new tax. Again, our our our ask of the voters on June 6th is if they would support, uh, continuing the existing three quarter percent sales tax once the sports complex is paid off.

00:09:30,970	Um, and as noted on the slide, that facility is going to be paid off about 14 years earlier than anticipated. So that kind of speaks to, um, our economy as a whole and Bismarck and Mandan, and we don’t see that growth going anywhere.

00:09:46,000	Um, we’ve got nice slow, steady growth in both Bismarck and Mandan, and we really expect that to continue. Um, our timeline, as I mentioned, we’d go to a vote in June of 2026 here. We’d hope to open that station and sometime in 2028. Um, and then once we get that done, then we would move on to some of the other improvements that are mentioned.

00:10:06,630	And there’s a note on this slide that says land for station four. We don’t plan to build station four. Right now we’re simply looking to secure land at today’s dollars. At some point in the future, we know we’re going to need it. As a city continues to grow south.

00:10:20,870	So it only makes sense for us to secure land at today’s dollars if we can. Um, so yeah, just kind of wrapping it up here because I almost up against my ten minute mark. Um, and I gotta, gotta stick to my stick to my goals.

00:10:37,700	Uh, so we’re our ask of the voters is to reallocate the three quarters cent sales tax. Um, in June. I covered a lot of ground. I spoke really fast, and that’s a lot of information. Do you have any questions that I might be able to answer? I have one.

00:10:55,730	Um, how long does that tax stay in effect, then? Uh, President Horn, uh, members of the board. So that tax would be in effect at the maximum is 20 years, or when it’s until it’s paid off, whichever one sooner. Um, we we feel very confident that it’ll be paid off before the 20 years. Thank you. Any other questions for Dr. Bitz? Okay. Thank you guys.

00:11:23,600	I’m assuming you’re hitting all the different areas in your presentation, trying to get the word out. Yeah. So, um, it’s a great question. Thank you for asking. We’re trying to get out in front of as many people as we can.

00:11:37,270	So if there’s anybody in the audience or any of you that would, you know, like to have us come speak. Uh, I guess the, the thing we’re trying to do is share facts, right? And encourage people to vote. Um, that’s what makes our country and our community so great.

00:11:51,870	Um, whether you support it or not, get out and vote, I guess is the biggest question or biggest, uh, biggest ask. And yeah, if anybody wants to hear more information, please contact us. And we’d love to love to share some information. One quick question. Also, I guess, um, staffing wise, are you going to be able to have it fully staffed when you get this one? If it does get built.

00:12:06,230	Uh, thank you for asking that. That’s a good question as well. Um, so our staffing, uh, model, thanks to, uh, we had a federal grant right now that, um, really bolstered our staffing in anticipation for continued growth.

00:12:23,630	Um, so currently, station one and station two by the end of the summer will be staffed with a minimum of three firefighters at all times. Uh, so. And then we’ve got a staffing model built out, and we feel like we are very close, if not all the way there to sustainability on a long term plan. Um, again, it’s we’re a couple of years out.

00:12:42,170	So, you know, things change, but we feel confident that our staffing model will be able to staff station three as well at that time. So. So if this wouldn’t pass, would your whole project just be done then.

00:13:02,630	And there wouldn’t be a service up there? Or do you have another backup plan on this? So, uh, currently, I mean, we would keep responding like we are today. Um, just fully understanding that our response there’s only there’s without strategically placing resources in that neighborhood, there’s only so much we can do. Um, and we would continue to do that and try and look for alternatives or, uh, um, yeah, we’d keep doing what we’re doing, I guess. Sorry.

00:13:22,000	So with your response times two, does that affect homeowners insurance? Yeah. Um, so currently the ISO, there’s a, there’s an organization that rates your city, um, your fire suppression capabilities or your city on a scale of 1 to 10.

00:13:41,530	Um, one is the best fire department you can have in ten is if there’s, uh, virtually no fire department at all. Currently, Mandan is rated a three. Um, no. It’s very difficult to get a straight answer about what it takes to get to that next level.

00:13:56,500	Um, it’s kind of like a credit score, because if you knew exactly what goes into your credit score, everybody would just go out and do those ten things to get their credit, and they wouldn’t worry about anything else. Um, it’s no different with this. So, uh, we don’t know exactly because it’s all encompassing. It it goes to our water reservoir capacity, water main sizes.

00:14:13,330	Um, our training hours, our truck gallons minute. Uh, and then also our station locations and response times. That’s a long answer to say yes, it absolutely matters. But we’re not able to get a specific answer to quantify exactly how much it matters to to really calculate a cost benefit to the detailed penny.

00:14:37,370	Any other questions? Okay. Thank you guys. Thanks. I did go over the ten minutes. But doctor because they asked questions. So I was forced to answer. So. Okay. Thank you guys. Next up we’ve got, uh, title six tribal consultation with standing Rock. Doctor Retterath. Yes.

00:14:58,330	If you’ll remember, because of our location, we have to consult with standing Rock twice a year. Uh, in the fall, we typically do on our federal fundings around, like, title one funding to and four. And then in the spring, we just consulted on title six funding.

00:15:15,430	So Travis Albers and myself and Wade Meschke went down along with Bismarck and met with their Health and Wellness Committee. And we just review. If you remember, we use our title six money primarily for Travis Albers position. Um, working with our Native American youth and families. And so we met with the tribal leadership and just talk through the work that we’re doing.

00:15:35,730	And, and really the impressive numbers we’ve seen in our Native American graduation rates. And, um, those engagements and had some really good conversations. So you will see the, um, they signed off on our consultation. And this is something I have to submit with our federal funding for us to receive our title six funds. Okay. Any questions on that? Alright.

00:15:56,970	Next up we got feather tie in ceremony Saturday, May 23rd at 10:00 at Dakota Community Bank auditorium. Doctor. Retterath. Yes. I believe this is the fourth or fifth year we’ve done this. Traditionally, we have done this in conjunction with Bismarck, and this year we’re choosing to do a standalone one with Mandan students.

00:16:14,530	Specifically. We’ve got enough momentum with this and feel like we’ll have more graduates participate. Now, with our nice auditorium in here. So, um, we invite any school board member to come. It’s at 10 a.m. on May 23rd. Um, Travis has done a nice job of organizing it.

00:16:31,900	Uh, Nola, taking a live from standing Rock is going to be one of our speakers, as well as, uh, Sheila, white mountain is going to actually do the ceremony. He works out at United Tribes and has done that for several years for us. So it’s always it’s one of my favorite events.

00:16:45,100	We’ll have some time with the families afterwards, so please join us if you can. Okay. Do you need people to notify you if they’re going to be able to attend or. Nope. Just just come. Next up we have State Superintendent Levi Bachmeier visit to Mandan High School May 5th, 1030 to 1230. Doctor Bitz? Yeah. Uh, Superintendent Bachmeier will be here tomorrow.

00:17:06,330	Um, and he’s going to spend some time. I think his first stop is going to be in a government classroom. He’s going to spend about a half hour in that, um, he’s going to get a tour of the school, and then we’re going to sit down in

00:17:18,000	the PLC room and talk education with him. I’m excited for his visit. I know several of you have said you’re going to make it. Um, actually, it was just that a meeting with him today. And, uh, somebody asked what was the best visit he’s had, and they said, well, it’s coming tomorrow.

00:17:32,170	So, you know, we look forward to his visit. I think it’ll be a nice time. He’s got a hard stop at 1230, um, when he’s gonna leave. So we’ll see how much time we get to visit with him. But excited to host him tomorrow and hopefully, as many of you as can attend, we’ll be there.

00:17:49,530	Uh, next up, retirement recognition dinner venue 25 May six Doctor Bitz. Yeah. Um, it’s that time of year where we recognize our employees for years of service and also for those honor, those that are retiring. Um, I think several of you have responded to Amy already, and and chosen your meal.

00:18:07,370	Um, it’s going to be at venue 25 on Wednesday evening at 6:00. Yeah. Except with the consent agenda on the consent agenda, we have review and consider approval of the previous board minutes from May 20th or April 20th, 2026, except the Health Insurance Committee minutes from April 30th, 2026. What are the wishes? I’ll move approval. Second.

00:18:35,430	You have a motion and a second. Any questions? Ms. Rebenitsch, please call roll. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes yes. Yes. We have nothing under unfinished business. Go to New Business Review and consider a motion to accept an offer from the Morton County Council. Purchase Custer Elementary School building. Doctor Bitz.

00:19:03,170	Yeah. If you remember, in our last meeting, we went into executive session to talk about the sale of Custer and our asking price and how that would look.

00:19:20,900	Um, after that meeting, uh, President Wolf and I, um, went up and we met with the Council on the Aging of Representatives from the Council on the aging. Um, and we shared and I should have put that in the packet. I, I but I have a letter in front of you. I thought about it too late. Um, you had three things that you were concerned about in that executive session.

00:19:34,730	Um, you were concerned about a legal review. Um, is it legal for us to sell that it to them without going to, uh, without advertising it to the public? Um, you also talked about you’d like it to be a neighborhood playground or have a spot on that site for a neighborhood playground.

00:19:52,730	And then you also talked about that you would like an asking price of 300,000. Um, President Wolf and I went up. We shared this letter with them. Um, had a nice conversation with the representatives.

00:20:12,070	Um, and they came back with a letter that is in your packet, and I should have included them both there, but, um, basically their letter, um, said that they did have their, uh, the state’s attorney say that, yes, it is legal for us to sell it to them because they’re political subdivision and a taxing authority. Um, we do have that that legal opinion that. Yes, that is okay.

00:20:32,000	They are fine with us putting a playground on the bottom half of that site for the neighborhood. And they agreed to our full asking price of 300,000. Uh, Mr. Wolff said anything that I missed in that. Yeah. Um, on that southern half of it, we’re actually going to retain the property, right? Yes. So that would be ours.

00:20:51,070	So, um, according to the agreement here, it looks like four feet off of the parking lot and everything south of that is what we would retain. I see some head shaking in there. That’s what it looks like they’re agreeing with in regard to it. So we’re maintaining about half of that block, even with that sale in regard to it.

00:21:09,100	So it’s the building and the parking lot, um, really is what we’re looking at selling in this case, not the entire lot. Correct. Thank you. And I should mention that we have had, uh, Doctor Retterath met with Cole Higlin, uh, from the Park district.

00:21:26,470	They haven’t had a board meeting, but they are very open to working with us to put a playground there. Um, again, he hasn’t talked to his board. Nothing’s done until it’s done. But I think there’s some positive conversations going on there. Um, I can answer any questions you have about this. I think we’re just responsible for the zoning to edition out.

00:21:49,900	Right? We. That would be our responsibility. We we visited with when we met with the Council on the aging that we would go to the city, um, get the property divided, um, get it plotted. And then I think they were looking at a closing date of August 3rd.

00:22:11,100	So we’ve got a little time, but I would assume we could hit that August 3rd closing date. Any other questions for doctor? There was a summer, um, open house at Custer. Is that going to? Yeah, that’s that’s going to be. Yeah. No problem at all. I think we’re July 3rd.

00:22:30,170	Yes, we’re doing one at the same time that we’re doing the typical high school walkthroughs on July 3rd. So no, it won’t change any of our timeline. As far as staff getting. They’re having time to get their things out for that open house. Those sorts of things. We’ll still be able to do those.

00:22:46,530	And then the Council on the aging did ask if they could have a walk through the building and have their architects have some access to it. And yeah, we’ll certainly make those things happen as well. I have a question. Are they replacing a building? Where where are they presently? They are up in at Liberty Heights.

00:23:11,100	If you’d like, I could have one of them come up and speak because I don’t want to answer for them. No. And we would. And we’re still looking at providing a playground on the. Yes. On the south half of that. We when we talked with Parks and Rec about that, we didn’t make anything like for sure.

00:23:32,870	We talked about everything from meeting them, the land, and they would put on the playground to doing some sort of 5050 split. So I think I don’t want to speak for the board.

00:23:47,530	Obviously Cole has to bring it to his board, but I think they were open to a wide variety of approaches to that land and what we choose to do with it. Within Parks and Rec. I just it would be playground equipment is expensive, I guess. I don’t see the school district being responsible for a playground in the city.

00:24:04,270	Yeah, and they were very open to the idea of, you know, there’s basketball courts and there’s swings already there about them looking at doing something. There was some talk about some community garden partnership, you know, there with some grant things. So I think there’s a lot of possibilities with, with that land in a partnership with Parks and Rec that I think would be very reasonable for both sides. Okay.

00:24:23,000	And our the purchase price is 300,000 and that’s a half a block city block. Uh, me personally, I think that’s that we’re not asking enough, but. That was the direction that we got from our executive session. So that’s what Mr. Wolff and I took.

00:24:43,100	To the I just wanted to be on record to say, I don’t think we’re asking enough, considering what. What’s there, I guess, but that’s just my opinion. Uh, Mr. Acting President, uh, to move the ball here and to get us into that, I’ll move that. We accept the terms of the agreement. We have a motion. Second. We have a motion, a second, any further discussion? Hearing none. Miss rabbinic, please call.

00:25:16,170	Roll. Yes. Okay. Yes. Yes. No. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Rick, before you, Mr.. Before you go on, can I make a comment? Um, I just want to apologize for being late to the meeting.

00:25:45,730	I got hung up on a different meeting, and then coming through the eastern part of Mandan, I was backed up quite a way. So I apologize to the committee for being late. It wasn’t my intention. And also, congratulations on the building. I think it’ll be a good use. So thank you. Okay, next up we got review and consider request release from certified staff members from a signed teaching contract.

00:26:03,900	We have a couple of them here. So we’ve got Daniel Peterson, fourth grade at Roosevelt. Vonda Dahl, instructional coach at Lewis and Clark Anna Kennedy special education at Lakewood and Kristi Frye, a counselor at Mandan Middle School, doctor Retterath. Yes.

00:26:22,070	So I’m going to kind of go through them one by one just so, because there’s one that we have a little bit of a different recommendation on from the others. But for Daniel Peterson, you’ll find his letter, um, in your packet. There. Uh, we are recommending that we, um, accept his resignation. Pending replacement is found in liquidated damages are paid.

00:26:42,070	Um, that would be our same recommendation for Anna Kennedy and Kristi Frye as well. On their. If we want to do those as potentially as one motion. Okay. And then for Vonda Dahl, um, we are recommending release of contract and waiving liquidated damages. Typically when someone has an opportunity for a career advancement that we’re not able to provide them.

00:27:04,800	We have traditionally allowed release them for their contract, and we have liquidated damages. And she is having the opportunity to serve as a principal next year. Any questions regarding that? You want two motions, right? Probably two. We should probably do the three, um, as one and then Vonda separately. Okay. So as far as, uh, Mr.

00:27:31,530	Peterson, uh, Miss Kennedy and Miss Frye, one of the wishes of the board. I can try to do this really quick so I I’ll move that we accept them with, um, replacements until they have replacements and liquidated damages are paid, then we can release them from their contract. Okay. That what we need is.

00:28:00,570	Yes. And that would be consistent to what we’ve done so far this year. Is is releasing, pending, finding replacement and paying of liquidated damages. And maybe thank them for their service to the school district. And thank you for your services and good luck on your next adventures.

00:28:16,330	I got a motion here a second second. We have a motion a second. Any discussion? Mr. chairman, please call roll. Yes, yes. Yes yes. Yes yes yes. Yes okay. In regards to, uh, Miss Dahl, what are the wishes of the board? I will move to release her from her contract with, uh, liquidated damages.

00:28:49,070	Waived? Waived? And thank her for her services. And good luck on her next adventures. Also. I second. A motion and a second. Any discussion? Hearing none. Ms. Rebenitsch, please call the roll. Yes, yes. Yes. No. Yes. Schmidt. Yes. Yes. Yes. Next up, we review and considering a request to hire the following certified staff.

00:29:23,530	Lexi Ketterling counselor at Lewis and Clark and Alison Betz, Agricultural and Mandan High School. Yes.
