00:00:15,530	Welcome. Today is Cinco de Mayo and for our friends in Bismarck, that is May the 5th, 2026. It is 5:30 p.m. and we are in the Bosh Froehlich Meeting Room in Mandan City Hall. Mr. Neubauer, could you please take the role? Commissioner Braun, here. Sjoberg here. Heinsohn. Here. Mayor Froelich.

00:00:37,370	I’m here. At this time. We will have Tristan Kozak with the Mandan Progress Organization lead us in the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands. One nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

00:01:07,830	All right. We’ll start out with announcements. And first one up is Fire Chief Mitch Bitz with notice of fire department sales tax initiative, public information meetings. Good evening, Mayor and commissioners. Thank you for the opportunity to remind our residents of our public input Information meeting on May 18th at 6 p.m.

00:01:32,070	down at Fort Lincoln Elementary School. Um, during that time, we’re going to do a small presentation and just kind of lay out, um, some of our, uh, thought process and the need for, uh, station three and, uh, the facts that related to the sales tax that’s going to be on the June 2026 ballot to continue that existing sales

00:01:50,000	tax from the starting sports complex, to reallocate that to the fire department. So, um, invite the public to come out and interact with us and ask questions and, um, just stop in and say hi if they’re able. Okay. Thank you. Mitch.

00:02:10,330	Um, could you also comment on last night’s fire in Bismarck and the Mandan Department’s response? How that works? Yep. Absolutely. Mayor. Commissioner. So, uh, unfortunately, our neighbors in Bismarck did have a significant, uh, structure fire last night. Um, large, uh, multifamily residential unit. And those are very taxing. Uh, um, from a from a labor standpoint.

00:02:33,730	And our force is so we have a very strong working relationship with Bismarck Fire Department, and they called for some of our equipment. We have a mobile air trailer, which is part of a regional response team, and that’s exactly what it’s designed for, um, is to take out to large incidents like that, um, help fill air bottles on scene rather than

00:02:48,930	having to transport bottles back and forth to the station. And then we also sent a crew over a little bit later just to assist with, uh, personnel. Um, again, there’s very labor intensive operations, and Bismarck has helped us out many times, and we work very well together. So it’s reciprocal.

00:03:04,830	Um, gesture. We have received a few phone calls just to mention, um, asking where people can donate. The City of Bismarck website, uh, does have some information on it. The North Dakota Lions Emergency Relief group is kind of leading the charge on that or the crisis.

00:03:27,900	Crisis care, chaplaincy crisis, crisis care, chaplaincy, uh, Salvation Army or American Red cross are also good places to donate. So that answers your questions. Yes. Thank you. Mitch. Now we will have construction updates. Jarek Mayor and Commissioners, pull up my presentation here. Um, I’ve got a few projects that I was going to plan on going through today.

00:03:53,270	Um, we’ve got a lot of projects that are kind of starting up officially, uh, around town. Um, first, uh, as always, is the Memorial Highway project, um, got, uh, graphic up on screen just to kind of remind everybody that this is a two phase project with two different contractors.

00:04:13,670	And, um, you know, while they are coordinated and communicated as one project, there might be some nuances in between the two. Um, the east half should be wrapping up this year, and the west half should be wrapping up next year. Um, the east half phase one water sanitary and storm mains are complete on Memorial Highway. The only underground work left to do are lateral connections.

00:04:31,830	Um, paving is happening from two directions. You can see on the picture here, uh, coming from the east, moving west, and then right here, it’s coming from the west, moving east. Um, there is intersection work on at 46th, and I do have here. I’ll go forward a little bit.

00:04:52,070	Uh, we’ll, we will have changing traffic patterns associated with some of the continued work at 46. Um, this is one that will be starting tomorrow morning. Um, the north to westbound movement at 46th will be, um, restricted.

00:05:13,000	So there will anybody trying to go westbound on Memorial Highway will have to take a left at 19th before they get, before they get up to Memorial Highway. Um, phase two still, uh, still doing work at the Main Street intersection. And we’re expecting kind of a traffic pattern shift away from what it’s at right now to occur next week.

00:05:29,400	And then we will have utility and main line paving following this, this kind of Main Street work and this, that, uh, that project once again will be completed in 2027. First street reconstruction. We had our pre-construction meeting on April 24th. Um, they had a phasing plan submitted and they did door to door engagement with property owners.

00:05:49,870	On April 24th, uh, they developed a project newsletter and distributed the distributed that during the door to door engagement. Um, last week, everybody saw traffic control go up and removal start this week. The contractor is starting to work on water main installation and then upcoming will they’ll be working on sanitary and storm utilities. Uh, they’ll do grading and base work.

00:06:11,270	And then curb and street on the, uh, phases one and two. As you can see here, uh, shown in red and blue in the picture. And then, uh, just to let everybody know, we do have a project website for this project where we will try to keep the most up to date information at, uh, the Collins

00:06:26,870	Avenue reservoir, uh, retaining wall work is continuing there. Uh, right now, that is that is most of what’s happening. Retaining wall work, site cleanup, kind of prepping for the site restoration. Um, still like to show off pictures here and there on that one. Um, kind of a big, big adjustment there.

00:06:50,100	Uh, kind of a new a new, uh, new project here. We did complete our municipal concrete contract and awarded that to Sare Construction. They will be working at about 60 locations in the downtown area starting tomorrow.

00:07:09,500	So there should be increased activity in the downtown area related to concrete work. And, um, that that work should wrap up once again before, uh, January 4th or July 4th. Eighth Avenue northwest and 27th Street will be talked about more in the coming months. We have our first public input meeting for this on April, May 14th, from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

00:07:33,970	at Mandan High School. Uh, right now we have kind of a preliminary special assessment boundary drawn up will be showing that at the public input meeting, we’ll be talking about the federal funding, the scope of work, and um, uh, what what folks might want to see with that project and what we have planned.

00:07:53,070	Um, and then we do have kind of a, a hodgepodge of neighborhood projects still going on. Uh, Sid 235. This is the lowest Trader and Culver’s project. Uh, we have checklist items that are being, um, finished on that project. So you will see some activity, but that should be wrapping up very soon.

00:08:14,470	Um, water and Sewer District 65, near New Lewis and Clark. They are doing the sanitary sewer lining on that project right now. And then milling and paving would follow after school is out. So later, later in May, um, Street Improvement District 241 near Red Trail Elementary.

00:08:35,430	We have a pre-construction meeting this Thursday where the schedule will be established, and we’ll have a lot, a lot better information at that time. And then, um, Sid 242 near Roosevelt, we are in final design with that and and proper phase one. We are still working through final design on that one. Um, and then a reminder, we do have a lot of project websites.

00:08:53,930	Um, at our city of Mandan projects web page, landing page, and people can hopefully get a really good updated, up to date information on the projects that they’re interested in. There. Any questions? Any questions for Jarek? Uh, Mayor and Jarek, the downtown area with the replacement concrete.

00:09:20,030	How many locations are approximately being replaced on that? Can you touch on that piece to? Um, we have 60 locations. I think this was kind of a the the locations were identified through kind of a team effort here at City Hall. There was a lot of different departments that walked the downtown area.

00:09:41,000	I should enter the the replacement for some of the the faulty concrete from a couple years ago or whatever for those. Oh, that one area. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Uh, I don’t have that on here. That that was the Midtown, uh, East project. It was a project that was completed in 2020.

00:10:04,400	Um, there were some, uh, concrete panels that, uh, were flaking and there was a petrographic analysis report that, uh, determined, um, uh, improper curing and finishing to be the cause of that. So the contractor a couple years ago tried to do kind of a skim coat on top of those failed panels, and that failed. So then now they are back doing full replacement on the panels that failed from five years ago. Six years ago.

00:10:29,600	So it is all, um, at the contractor’s expense. There is no adjustment to special assessments associated with this. This is just addressing, um, addressing work that was considered substandard at the time. And it’s just circumstantial that it has taken so long for it to finally get resolved.

00:10:48,100	Approximately how many properties do you recall? I don’t remember off the top of my head, I want to say 3030 ish properties. Yeah, okay. Thank you. Yep. Any other questions for Jarek? If not, thank you. Jarek. We will move on to item number three. Touch a truck Tristan. Well, um, thanks for letting me do the pledge, I guess.

00:11:17,030	And, uh, thanks for having me. Uh, a pleasure to get you guys, uh, up to speed on everything that’s, uh, sort of planned for touch a truck. Um, touch a truck is really an exciting event for the MPO, because it is sort of. That summer kickoff.

00:11:35,970	Um, I think, uh, we get to really notice the days are longer. Um, the sun feels nice on our face, and you don’t have to wear coat anymore. And so, um, this year is really going to be quite exciting. We have 54 trucks that are participating. It is a record, I believe we actually have 12 new participants this year.

00:11:57,000	Um, so a a huge jump in, um, in participants on Main Street. It’ll be absolutely packed. Uh, one of the other things that we’ve done this year is we reintroduced the touch of truck coloring book. Um, this is going to be given out to a thousand of the kiddos that come down to Main Street.

00:12:18,930	Uh, and we have all of these, uh, custom pages designed and whatnot, showcasing different machines that will be on Main Street. And, uh, whatnot. So then kids can take that home and they have an opportunity to have that educational piece. Um, after they, you know, have enjoyed their time on Main Street.

00:12:38,270	So really, really excited to to get that out to the kids. Uh, couple notes in terms of logistics, Main Street will close at 7 a.m. on Saturday, May 16th. And then we will have the street reopened at 3 p.m.. We are expecting probably about 7000 attendees, give or take. Obviously, weather can play a huge factor into that.

00:12:59,970	So, uh, if you have any questions, let me know. But if you guys are looking for posters that you’d like to hang up at your business, you’re welcome to reach out to the Mandan Progress Organization. And we will provide some posters for you guys to hang up to. Spread the word and get everybody down on Main Street.

00:13:18,700	So any questions? 10 to 2. That is from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, May 16th. Food trucks. There will be food trucks. Uh, I believe we have ten vendors. Uh, plenty of, uh, all of your favorites. Anything from burgers, donuts, ice cream, whatever, you name it.

00:13:39,600	And then we’ll also have a selection of craft vendors, uh, for, for people to, to browse through and some other activities, which we’re excited about is bringing inflatables back. Um, for the kids. We’ll have an obstacle course, bouncy house, all that stuff. And then we’re also bringing an airsoft, uh, shooting range that’s going to take place at the backside of Heritage Park. Um, that the kids can, I suppose, practice.

00:14:03,600	They’re aiming if they want to, but not use it on, on any people. Just use it on some, some targets. So, um, yeah, should be very, very exciting and very, very, uh, packed. So if you have time, come down to come down to Main Street.

00:14:24,370	Mayor Tristan, uh, is the event primarily financed through sponsorships and registration fees? Yep. So the touch track is completely free to attend. We’re able to do that by securing sponsorships. It is 100%, uh, sponsorship funded. I am happy to report the MPO, uh, had a lot of generous sponsors to help us meet our goal this year.

00:14:44,470	So definitely take the opportunity to check out on the posters, the banners throughout the park and the website to see who are all the people who want this stuff to be free for the community. But yes, completely 100% sponsorship funded. I think in our city, the business community and many others are very supportive of those events.

00:15:01,200	Without them, you know, be difficult to to have the events to the extent we like to have them. Of course. Yeah. And, um, can’t put them on with, without, uh, without those partners. So we’re very appreciative to everybody. Thank you.

00:15:20,970	Tristan, could you just give us a quick, quick update on how the parade registration is going? Uh, parade registration is starting to catch up to where we were, um, at this point in years past, uh, we have continued to push parade registrations. I believe we’re just at about 50 as of right now.

00:15:39,670	Um, which puts us I, I believe extremely, extremely close to where we were before, what we were learning from a lot of registrants is because of the America 250, um, call to enhance the experience. A lot of people kind of went to the drawing board and they said, how are we going to do things a little bit different? And so that added some preparation into their timelines.

00:15:56,830	But we’re definitely seeing, uh, people pick up and, and get themselves registered for the parade. Okay. And the fireworks. Fireworks are doing great. Uh, we have all the agreements in place for that. Um, sponsorships have been going good.

00:16:12,800	Of course, we’re still, you know, looking for a couple more people to help us cover all of the costs. But the show will be free to attend. It will take place on July 3rd, north of the Mandan Middle School. And the plot of land there. And we’re in the process of planning other activities and festivities to occur up there.

00:16:28,270	Um, so that it’s a kind of a cool, um, shall we say, um, not tailgating, but just, you know, hang out picnic area. Um, and a serves as a fantastic kickoff to the 4th of July. Okay. Thank you. Tristan. Of course. And we’ll move to item number four, public works, open house, May 21st. Mr. O’Keefe.

00:16:53,300	Good evening. Mayor. Commissioner, I just wanted to remind everyone. May 21st is Mandan Public Works open house. It’ll be from 3 to 6:00. This event is part of a National Public Works Week which runs from May 17th through the 23rd. This year’s theme is rooted in service, powered by community. It’s a great reminder too.

00:17:13,700	Great reminder of the role Public Works plays every day in support and and strengthen our community. We’ve received some great donations already from local partners and vendors. We truly appreciate that. I’ll help us make this a great event and fun.

00:17:32,070	We’ll have hamburger hot dogs along with an assortment of local vendors and firms that we coordinate with regularly. A good chance to see what we do down at public works and kind of, uh, check out the shop. If you haven’t been down, it’ll be a be a good time.

00:17:48,970	We’ll have the burgers, hot dogs, and we’ll have some hands on experience, a couple rides going, probably a sweeper, a truck going. Um, so we look forward to a strong turnout and chance to connect with the community in a different way than we normally do on the day to day. Okay. And again, that is May 21st from. 3 to 6 p.m.. 3 to 6 p.m.. Okay. Thank you. We’ll move on to item number five. Community cleanup carry.

00:18:15,570	Good evening, mayor and commissioners. Um, it is May, so it is Community cleanup month. Um, we have about 17 routes. Of those, three are left to be claimed to be cleaned up. Our first route was cleaned up this past weekend by NIST.

00:18:36,570	Um, we’ve have over 100 volunteers at this point, which is normal for us. We’ve had lots of door prizes donated by Bismarck and Mandan businesses, and we’re just looking for those last three routes to be claimed. And that can be done at City of Mandan. Com litter cleanup. Okay. Thank you. We will move on to item number six, Arbor Day recognition. Mr. Neubauer.

00:19:00,370	Mayor Froehlich and commissioners, I just want to show a couple pictures from last, last Friday’s Arbor Day celebration in Eichhorn Park. Um, big thank you to Jason, Adam and Allison from our grounds maintenance crew. And also the Lakewood Elementary, fifth grade, who did a fine job of planting two trees, one hackberry and one Ohio buckeye.

00:19:26,030	Um, so fun fact, if I recall correctly, that when the first tree cities were announced and, uh, cities were signing up for those 50 years ago, there were only 42 tree cities across the United States.

00:19:45,730	And I believe there are only 16 of us who are entering our 50th year of being a Tree City, USA. So big shout out to you all as commissioners and big shout out to commissioners 50 years ago who at that time consisted of Mayor Malcom Brown, who was our mayor for four years and also a city attorney for the city of Mandan for many years, along with the

00:20:06,370	commissioners at that time, which were Edward Bosh Froehlich, whose namesake room we’re in tonight, along with Carolyn Luckett, Joe Eckhoff and B.J. Silber Nagel. So big shout out to those folks who had the foresight 50 years ago to, declare Mandan as a Tree City, USA. So very good. Thank you.

00:20:32,200	We will now move on to public comment. Are there any comment cards or none? Okay, we will move on to the approval of the agenda. Commissioners. So move to approve the May 5th, 2026 agenda for this evening. Second motion by Commissioner Rohr, second by Commissioner Heinsohn on any discussion. Hearing none. Roll call please. Commissioners. Rohr. Yes. Sjoberg. Yes. Heinsohn. Yes. Braun. Yes. Mayor Froelich.

00:20:59,430	Yes. We’ll move on to the minutes. Consider approval of the April 21st, 2026 Board of City Commission meeting. Minutes. I’ll make a. Motion to approve the minutes of the April 21st, 2026 Board of City Commission. Many meeting minutes. Second motion by Commissioner Sjoberg, second by Commissioner Henson. Any discussion?

Roll call. Commissioners. Hansen. Yes.

00:22:01,430	Braun. Yes. Rohrer. Yes. Yes. Mayor Froelich. Yes. We’ll move on to public hearing. Consider a setback variance for lot six, block one. Nikola, second edition. Jordan. Good evening. Mayor. Commissioners. I’m here tonight to present a front setback variance for, as you said, lot six, block one of Nikolas second edition. Uh, this is a request by Mr.

00:22:25,530	Valdes, who is considering a variance from city code ordinance for the for the front and rear yard setbacks for this, um, property located in the middle of the screen. One of the issues we were having and struggling with is there in these Nikolas properties. There’s actually two lots.

00:22:44,600	There’s one in the front and one in the back. And, um, due to the nature of what has already been there, um, Mister Valance had to apply for a variance for this reason. Um, and it also, I know in the P and Z meeting, we talked about the location of the existing utilities.

00:23:06,230	And one of the other things that you look at when you’re pulling a trailer out and then bringing a new one in, is where those are located in relation to where your trailer would be, which is why we’ve brought the variance forward.

00:23:23,200	So, um, he’s looking at a few foot difference in, in, in where the trailer would sit from where the rest of it is. Uh, staff obviously has, um, no, no, uh, I guess no problem with this. Um, considering we have a lot of different things along this street. So.

00:23:46,000	And the other thing, this was brought, um, forward to PNC on April 27th, and it was recommended, uh, unanimous approval for this. There were also 13 letters sent to property owners about this. Um, would like to conduct a public hearing, and I can answer any questions you’d have. Any questions for Jordan before the hearing? If none. Thank you. Jordan. At this time, we will open the public hearing. We are accepting comments.

00:24:07,930	First call. Second call for comments. Third and final call. With that, the public hearing is closed. Commissioners. I’ll make a motion in favor. There’s two motions here, but I’ll go to the one in favor.

00:24:37,270	I move to approve the requested variance of the front yard setback in the residential mobile Home Subdivision district for lot six, block one, Nikolas second edition from a minimum of 15ft, minimum of 12ft. Second. We have a motion by Commissioner Rohr, a second by Commissioner Sjoberg. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Roll call. Commissioners. Braun. Yes. Roar. Yes. Coburg. Yes. Yes. Mayor Froelich. Yes. We’ll move on to item number two.

00:25:10,430	Or did we have another motion? Okay. Consider final plat for 1884 edition. Jordan. Good evening, Mayor and commissioners. Before you is the final plat for the 1884 edition.

00:25:33,830	Um, just a little bit on this with this was this preliminary plat was conditionally approved by the by the Commission on February 23rd, and we had a few things that we were looking at. Um, as far as access and different things that we were looking and asking for. Um, these have all been met. And before you is the final product of what is 1884 edition. Um, this plat consists of 15.3 acres of land. That’s divided in different sections.

00:26:01,670	Um, because of the existing conditions is probably why you see some of the things that may be irregular, but, um, we do have access and staff is satisfied with what is there for the final plat.

00:26:21,570	So this was also brought forward on the 27th of April to PNC with a unanimous approval for this plot. I can answer any questions, but would also like to have a public hearing on this. Thank you. Any questions for Jordan? If not, thank you. Jordan. At this time we will open the public hearing. First call for comments. Second call for comments. Third and final call for comments. With that, the public hearing is closed. Commissioners.

00:26:52,300	I move to approve the final plat for 1884 additions. Second. We have a motion by Commissioner Hinson. Second by Commissioner Sjoberg. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Roll call, please. Commissioners. Rohr. Yes. Sjoberg. Yes. Yes. Braun. Yes. Mayor Froelich. Yes.

00:27:16,670	There are no bids tonight, so we will move on to the consent agenda. Are there any items on the consent agenda that you would like removed? Commissioners? If not, I would entertain a motion to approve. I’ll make a motion to approve the consent agenda as presented. Second motion by Commissioner Hinson. Second by Commissioner Rohrer. Any further discussion? Hearing none. Roll call. Commissioners. Sjoberg. Yes. Yes. Yes. Rohr. Yes.

00:27:50,200	Mayor Froelich. Yes. There is no old business, so we will move on to new business. Consider wastewater treatment plant. Project consultant selection. Jerrick. Mayor. Commissioners. Good evening.

00:28:17,830	Um, over the last month or so, uh, staff has been, um, reviewing proposals submitted for our wastewater treatment plant engineering design consultant, um, conducting interviews, and then, um, uh, rating those, uh, proposals and rating those firms. I’m going to go over, um, a little bit of the process that we took, which is called the qualification based selection. And, um, show you the results. Uh, first of all, the selection committee was made up of six, six people.

00:28:37,530	Um, Commissioner Sjoberg, appreciate you taking the time to participate in all this. I know it was a lot of very time consuming, and, uh, took a lot of effort. And then we have, uh, five staff members ranging from administration, operations, finance, engineering. And then, of course, Ryan, the plant superintendent.

00:28:57,270	Um, we did rate the proposals on five criteria, and those were knowledge of existing facility and operations, project approach and responsiveness, relevant experience, team qualifications, and then financial capabilities.

00:29:17,400	Prior to reviewing the proposals we did as a group assign weights to each of the criteria, and those are shown off to the right. Um, basically, uh, they were equal in weight except for a little bit less, uh, weight was given to, uh, knowledge of existing operations and a little bit more weight was given to relevant experience and expertise. Uh, we received three proposals from E to S, apex and HDR.

00:29:41,100	Each of these, uh, primary consultants did team with a few of, uh, selected, uh, kind of sub consultants or partners on the project. Um, we did carry a conduct interviews with all three of these, uh, uh, firms on April 16th and 17th.

00:30:07,730	Um, each interviewer rated each firm on a scale of 1 to 10, 20 for each criteria. Um, and then criteria scores were adjusted based on their assigned weights, which we went over before. Weighted scores were added up for a total weighted score. And then for each interviewer, consultants were ranked one, two and three. And then we had average weight average ranks calculated for each of the uh, consultants.

00:30:31,730	Um, I did want to highlight, uh, kind of how, uh, how close some of this was. Um, this is kind of just a, a graphic that shows how everybody was rated on a scale of 1 to 20.

00:30:51,500	Um, uh, 82 us being the blue, HDR being the orange and apex being the, being the green, um, kind of showing that all of the consultants were very highly regarded and very qualified to do this project, and we would have been in good hands no matter who was selected. We did kind of zoom it in right here.

00:31:05,030	This is on a scale of 10 to 20, just so you can see some of the some of the discrepancies there. But ultimately 82 S was the highest regarded consultant firm, and they were rated as the top consultant for four out of the six committee members. And, um, they particularly excelled with their existing knowledge of the operations.

00:31:25,100	The team that they put together for the project and their proposed project approach. Um, we met as a committee after all of these results were calculated and everybody felt very comfortable recommending 82 us as the selected consultant for this project.

00:31:48,070	And we were recommending their selection tonight and requesting authorization to start negotiating a contract with us. But I can try and answer any questions that you might have. And then Zach from E to S is also here. If you have any questions for him. Any questions for Eric. Mayor Jerry, this is the beginning of a probably a number of years process, isn’t it? How many? Mayor. Commissioner. Rohr.

00:32:07,930	Yeah, probably a three year process. For your project. Okay. I was going to ask you how long this is going to be. Yes. On the board anyway. Yep. It will be a long one. And, um, it’ll be it’ll be important to hit the ground running, too on this one. So.

00:32:25,970	With all the other major projects going on, there is not going to be any overlapping or everything will fill you working in, in concert with each other on it. Right now. Mayor. Commissioner. Rohr. Absolutely. We’re going to do our best to to make sure everything is cohesive and synergistic.
