A convention center could soon be in Williston. A subsidiary of Chicagobased developer The Prime Group Inc. said Monday it plans to build a $150 million convention and business center in Williston, giving city officials a massive project to consider as they head into budget hearings at the end of the week. The project is estimated at 600,000 square feet, including a convention hall, 16-story hotel, indoor and outdoor exhibit areas, retail stores, a restaurant, office space and parking, said John Breugelmans, a principal with BR Investments, LLC. If the city commission approves the plan, constructionvcould begin in Sand Creek Town Centre by next year. “We like to hook up with the oil industry and make sure their needs are served,” Breugelmans told media at The Bakken Club. “The oil boom has not gone to its full flourishing yet.” The Prime Group would spend $110 million on the project, but needs city or

Williston firefighters to help fill the boot

Williston firefighters will be out on the streets of Williston Wednesday asking motorists to help “Fill The Boot” for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. Firefighters will be at the intersections of 11th Street and University and 6th Avenue West and 11th Street. The firefighters invite the Williston community to come out and support their efforts. Every dollar that passing motorists pitch into the firefighters’ boots, helps the Williston Fire Department provide medical treatment and support services to individuals and their families living with neuromuscular diseases in North Dakota and northwestern Minnesota. All the money raised is donated to the greater North Dakota chapter of the MDA. Thanks to the support and generosity of the citizens of Williston, contributions send area children to MDA summer camp and help support 350 local families affected by neuromuscular diseases. Forty kids from North Dakota, northwestern Minnesota and South Dakota attended MDA’s summer camp in June of 2014. This is the 60th anniversary of the partnership MDA has with firefighters across the country, during which time they have raised over $570 million.

Nancy Scarff, 64, Bismarck, died Aug. 15, 2014, at Sanford Health, Bismarck. A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 21, at McCabe United Methodist Church, Bismarck, with the Rev. Jenny Hallenbeck and the Rev. Ray Baker officiating. There will be no visitation, as cremation has taken place. Nancy was born Oct. 13, 1949, in Glendive, Mont., the daughter of Mark and Janet (Butler) Scarff. The family moved to Bismarck in the mid-1950s. Early in high school, the family moved to Edina, Minn., and she graduated from Edina High School. Nancy attended the University of North Dakota and graduated with a degree in social work. Nancy then continued her education at Saint Paul
School of Theology, receiving a master’s degree in divinity. She served as director of camping for the United Scarff Methodist Church in N.D. She was the associate pastor of the United Methodist Church in Williston and Jamestown. Following her work in ministry, she took care of her parents. For eight years, she assisted her mother in the Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center for lunch and dinner. Nancy made many friends at Missouri Slope Lutheran Care Center during her years of visiting her mother. She enjoyed bringing the caregivers pansies
from her garden over the years. She was an avid bird watcher and loved feeding the squirrels. She so appreciated her long-time friendship with the Rev. Ray Baker. Nancy was so thankful for her camping experiences she had as a child with her parents and brothers. Nancy is survived by her brothers, David Scarff and Mark (Annie Tappe) Scarff; sister-in-law, Cathy Scarff; nephews, Mark (Amanda Richards) Scarff, Dennis Scarff, Dana Fox and Cetan Campbell; and grandnieces, Ashton Whitehead, Kieran Scarff and Kate Scarff. She was preceded in death by her parents; and grandnephew, Joshua Ine Scarff. Go to www.eastgatefuneral.com to share memories of Nancy and sign the online guestbook.
ARC: Ahead of schedule paying back bonds From Page A1
large group of kids playing basketball in the summer. The ARC has a 200-meter indoor running track, a golf simulator and 13,000 square feet of indoor turf and fitness area. These are all tools that the park district did not have before, and that means there is a lot more opportunity for programming. While the park district wants to make more programming, it will balance the usage the building between everyday members and programs. “Members are important,”
Krueger said. One way he hopes to keep the balance is using the ARC during times when business is slow. Two concerns when the building was being constructed was staffing and the expected expenses. Krueger said staffing has not been an issue. He gave the staff a lot of credit being able to adapt to changes and said his staff can make changes on the fly. For part of last week, the ARC was closed for cleaning. “This is done so the building looks brand new 20
years from now,” Krueger said. Another major concern early on was the price of the new recreation center. Currently the ARC is ahead of schedule on paying back its bonds. To pay off the building, the park district gets a onecent sales tax. Half of that goes to pay off the building. In 22 months, the park district has collected $15.6 million in tax revenue. WPRD originally planned to pay off the bonds for the ARC in 20 years. Kruger said conservatively they can pay it off in 14 years.
Fargo moves on in energy competition FARGO (AP) — The city of Fargo has advanced in a national competition among cities to reduce America's energy consumption. Fifty-two cities have been selected to continue for the Georgetown University En-
ergy Prize, which provides a $5 million award for the winning city. Communities with a population between 5,000 and 250,000 are eligible to compete for the prize. That includes about 8,900 cities.
Fargo City Commissioner Mike Williams says the contest provides a good opportunity for the community to "mobilize innovative people and utilize community expertise and resources."

The commission’s decision clears all hurdles for the 65-acre Smoky Butte landfill, operated by the Smoky Butte Environmental LLC, a division of Section 18, LLC. The landfill will accept oil and natural gas exploration and production wastes, “special waste” and small volume industrial waste. Most of this waste is coming from Divide County drilling operations, according to the company. The quantity of waste anticipated is about 20 truckloads per day, between 150,000 and 250,000 tons annually, although the landfill is permitted to accept 500,000 tons of waste, annually. The company believes the facility will reduce truck traffic on Divide County roads. The Journal, Crosby
Citizens to report bad drivers After detailed discussions with the N.D. Highway Patrol, Dunn County Sheriff Clay Coker and Killdeer Police Department have implemented a program encouraging citizens to report bad drivers. Assistant State’s Attorney Pat Meriman said anyone who sees anyone driving in an unsafe manner should call 911, and State Radio will dispatch an officer to attempt to intervene. Meriman said calls should be made as soon after the incident as possible. A law enforcement officer will be dispatched to try to intercept the offending vehicle. Meriman said callers should attempt to provide information about things like gender, age ethnicity, hair color and clothing. Dunn County Herald, Killdeer

Watford grows by 1,131 acres The city council in Watford City annexed a record amount of property at its Aug. 4 meeting. Seven applications seeking to annex a combined total of 1,131.79 acres were approved for annexation into the city. “This is by far the most annexations we’ve ever seen at one meeting,” Watford City Mayor Brent Sanford said. “It doesn’t usually happen like this. That’s a lot of acres.” The Homestead subdivision was the largest parcel of land that was approved for annexation, totalling 780 acres. McKenzie County Farmer, Watford City
Makeshift home removed Ray police officer James Sawyer reported on the removal of a makeshift home in an undeveloped grove. “There was a guy that had basically built a fort back there,” Sawyer told the commission, including a log cabin wall, table, and two couches. He apparently had been cutting down trees with a saw and was “building a house.” The structure was hidden behind a camouflage tarp that made it very difficult to spot. Contained inside were a bow and arrow and a BB gun. The man also had a tree stand. Sawyer said the man could face a charge for trespassing. The officer confiscated the equipment and weapons, which effectively removed him from the property. Tioga Tribune
Oil waste landfill approved Divide County commissioners have decided to forego a special election after the state’s approval of a special oil waste landfill to be located in Alexandria Township. This would have been the final opportunity to thwart the building of the landfill, according to state rules, if there had been widespread opposition.
Coal mine moves forward The newest mine south of Beulah is one step closer to becoming operational now that it’s received further approval from the Mercer County Commission. The approval for surface coal mining operations known as Coyote Creek came at a recent commission meeting as one of many applications required by either county or state entities. Engineering/Environmental Manager Donn Steffen briefed the commissioners on the latest permit, which was directly for surface coal mining. Steffen stated that another permit had been under review by the Public Service Commission since last year, and he expected it would be there until late September or early October. “The dragline is 100 percent mobilized,” Steffen said. “Construction will begin very soon on the shop and office complex. There are eight surface owners in this area.” A third permit area would likely come before the county commission around January. That specific area would lead from the 8,000 acre site to the Coyote Station facility. Beulah Beacon
Four-lane highway opened The first cluster of trucks, cars and pickups were escorted down the freshlypaved, westbound lanes of the U.S. 85 four-lane stretch between Watford City and Alexander Aug. 8. Dignitaries gathered for the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of the phase one portion of the U.S. 85 four-lane project. This 14-mile stretch of divided four-lane highway cost nearly $62 million, according to DOT Director Grant Levi. The three main objectives for this project are to enhance traffic, the quality of life and road safety. “With over 12,000 vehicles a day traveling on this section of road, this expansion will greatly enhance the movement of traffic in the area,” Levi said. Phase two of the U.S. 85 project is currently under way, and contracts for phase three were recently awarded. These phases will complete four-laning of U.S. 85 from north of Alexander to Williston, including replacement of the Lewis & Clark Bridge over the Missouri River near Williston.

Today in History Today is Tuesday, August 19, the 231st day of 2014. There are 134 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On August 19, A.D. 14, Caesar Augustus, Rome’s first emperor, died at age 76 after a reign lasting four decades; he was succeeded by his stepson Tiberius. On this date: In 1812, the USS Constitution defeated the British frigate HMS Guerriere off Nova Scotia during the War of 1812, earning the nickname “Old Ironsides.” In 1814, during the War of 1812, British forces landed at Benedict, Maryland, with the objective of capturing Washington, D.C. In 1918, “Yip! Yip! Yaphank,” a musical revue by Irving Berlin featuring Army recruits from Camp Upton in Yaphank, New York, opened on Broadway. In 1934, a plebiscite in Germany approved the vesting of sole executive power in Adolf Hitler. In 1936, the first of a series of show trials orchestrated by Soviet leader Josef Stalin began in Moscow as 16 defendants faced charges of conspiring against the government (all were convicted and executed). In 1942, during World War II, about 6,000 Canadian and British soldiers launched a disastrous raid against the Germans at Dieppe, France, suffering more than 50-percent casualties. In 1955, severe flooding in the northeastern U.S. claimed some 200 lives.

Masks help us hide what we most fear Robin Williams surprised and saddened the world last week when he took his own life. Shocked us too! Wasn’t he a comedian? Wasn’t he funny? Why would someone who laughed so much, made the rest of us laugh, and seemed to be so full of life choose to end it so suddenly? The truth is we saw him through his mask. We all have those masks. We wear them most of the time. “How ‘ya doin’?” folks ask on the street. “Fine!” we mumble. Sometimes it’s hard to say, because it is simply not true. But it makes it easier when we are talking from under our mask. Among other things masks help us stretch the truth. Death and suffering, after all, are pretty inexplicable. We don’t really understand them. So much of life’s journey involves that struggle to fathom the John-aunfathomable. Dreams Some of us reach for religion, which is a source of strength for so many of John Andrist us. It helps me, I think. Is it the solution? That’s for each of us to decide. C.S. Lewis was a well-known author and philosopher in the last century, who was born in Ireland and taught at Oxford. He became a renowned writer, using logic and philosophy to support the tenets of his Christian faith. He is also known throughout the world as the author of “The Chronicles of Narnia” fantasy series, which have been adapted into various films for the big and small screens. In the movie “Shadowlands,” actor Anthony Hopkins portrays Lewis, who married relatively late in life, then lost the woman he loved to cancer four years later. In one moving scene from the movie the woman’s son asks Hopkins, “I don’t know why she had to get sick.” Hopkins replies, “No, nor me, but you can’t hold on to things. You have to let them go.” And I guess that’s the crux of the whole discussion. If I could have held on I would still have Elaine with me. I would never have let her go, no matter how much she suffered, even though I remember well my sigh of relief when the heavy breathing ceased six years ago. Some of these thoughts were rekindled by an essay I read last week, written by a man who was in the process of dealing with a special friend, who he couldn’t let go, even in the advanced stages of pancreatic cancer. So we press on, sometimes hanging by fingernails. If religion is anything, it is a reminder that death is the way things were meant to be. That doesn’t make accepting it any easier, but being able to put trust in a belief system that promises a future that will continue in peace and comfort after the last breath is a hope that most of us share. I’ve said goodbye to Elaine. I’ve bid farewell to three brothers. Three of the men who have been among the most important friends in my life are gone. And I had dinner last week with another very special friend in the midst of her second round of chemo treatment. She, too, keeps smiling through her mask, bless her heart. I can’t bear the thought that these special people have or will disappear into some kind of void. If God is real it will not be so. If he isn’t, it doesn’t matter. I just have to believe, control freak that I am, that somewhere he is waiting for me, always has been, and there will one day be a lasting reunion for all of us . . . and you will also be there. Robin Williams, too. Is it alright now if I put my mask back on? While you are at it, put yours on, too!
Letter to the Editor
State leaders should know better I think it’s now official. Three out of four kids are smarter than the ND Industrial Commission. They recognize a “special place” when they see one. In the July 30 McKenzie County Farmer, this question was asked: “What is the most awesome thing that you have ever seen?” Answers: (13 yr. old) “It would be the snow in the Badlands. It was so pretty.” (10 yr. old) “I’d say it was the Theodore Roosevelt National Park. I was able to climb buttes and see buffalo.” (10 yr. old) “It was a bunch of prairie dogs in Medora. They live in caves underground.” Did the fourth say, “Oh, definitely the thousands of flares… or maybe the destruction to get to one million barrels a day?” No. She answered, “Disneyland.” By feverishly approving drilling permits in their devotion to out-of-state oil companies instead of state residents, the Industrial Commission is creating what will be the future for these sensible young people. I wonder if they will thank the NDIC for the inherited mess. What made the NDIC’s three native North Dakotans, who should know better, sell their souls to selfserving out-of-staters and forget the values of honesty, hard work, independence and independent thinking, and loyalty to our home state? As for being independent, should the governor who belongs to the less-government/less-federal-spending Republican Party be asking for 75 perecent FEMA funding for damages from June flooding? Then should Harold Hamm apply for food stamps? Maybe rich North Dakota should only be permitted to borrow from the federal government...but only until the state loosens the purse strings to take care of its own. Shelly Ventsch New Town

Where in Constitution is the CIA absolved of its multitude of crimes? At long last, after all these years, we have a defining question to We The People on our rule of law from libertarian Jacob G. Hornberger, founder and president of The Future of Freedom Foundation: “Why Not Simply Abolish the CIA?” (fff. org, Aug. 1). He asks: “Did any CIA agent get indicted for torturing people? No. “Did any CIA agent get indicted for destroying the videotapes that showed the torture? No. “Did any CIA agent get indicted for murdering prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq? No.” As I’ve often reported, the list of the agency’s wrongdoings is long, continuous and deeply documented in such books as “Legacy of Ashes: The History of the CIA” by Tim Weiner, and “Globalizing Torture: CIA Secret Detention And Extraordinary Rendition” by Amrit Singh and published by The Open Society Foundations. And right now, many Americans are waiting for the public release of an extensive, carefully validated four-year report from the Senate Intelligence Committee on the history of CIA torture and its other crimes against our rule of law and the international rule of law. But I was not surprised to see that the release of this report had been delayed indefinitely. How come? Susan Crabtree of the Washington Examiner explains: “Senate Democrats engaged in a tug-of-war with the White House over heavy redactions to its long-delayed torture report remain furious that President Obama allowed the CIA to censor the document” (“Democrats steamed that White House let the CIA censor a torture report,” Crabtree, Washington Examiner, Aug. 7). Who asked the most secretive president in our history to exercise that authority? Crabtree writes: “In a letter dated April 7, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, asked Obama to allow the White House to ‘take the lead’ in determining what would be redacted from a declassified study it planned to publicly release.” The champion of the Senate’s torture report expected sudden candor from Obama of all people? Feinstein got a curveball. “We tortured some folks,” the president said in an Aug. 1 White House press confer-
ence. But, according to The Guardian, “he believed intelligence officials responsible for torturing detainees were working during a period of extraordinary stress and fear” (“Obama Sweet Land admits CIA ‘tortured of Liberty some folks’ but stands Nat by Brennan Hentoff over spying,” Paul Lewis, The Guardian, Aug. 1). Have pity on the CIA? Feinstein finally realized that allowing the White House and the CIA to look over the report before it reached the public had caused her to receive “a heavily redacted executive summary of the report.” Furthermore, she “warned that she would need additional time to understand the justification for the obscured passages. Reviewing the redactions could take days, if not weeks” (“Senate’s torture report delayed indefinitely,” Susan Crabtree, Washington Examiner, Aug. 5). “Obscured” is a euphemism for censored. Crabtree also notes significantly that “Republicans on the Intelligence Committee refused to participate in the investigation,” which illuminated much of the torture of the George W. Bush-Dick Cheney years. And, revealingly, before deciding to delay the report indefinitely once the CIA had edited it, Feinstein “indicated the CIA was most sensitive about two categories of information in files related to the interrogation program: ‘the true names of non-supervisory CIA personnel and the names of specific countries in which the CIA operated detention sites’” (“U.S. braces for torture report blowback,” Josh Gerstein, politico.com, May 15). Aren’t We The People also entitled to know the true names of high-level CIA personnel who tortured at will, as well as the presidents and members of the Judiciary Committee who gave them the authority to? Nonetheless, a number of dogged reporters have been digging into the classified report to tell us some of
what’s being held back so that we’ll know why. Here’s one from Alex Kane of AlterNet: “CIA went beyond legal memo. In 2002, the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel drafted a report authorizing CIA torture, saying that the use of waterboarding, sleep deprivation and stress positions were perfectly legal. It was written by Deputy Assistant Attorney General John Yoo” (who is still a University of California law school professor and frequent writer-lecturer) ... “But even that memo attempting to legalize torture wasn’t enough for the CIA ... McClatchy reported that the CIA went beyond what it was authorized to do by the Bush administration. “In a phone interview with AlterNet, (Jason) Leopold (of Al Jazeera America) said this revelation casts a harsh light on the Obama administration’s arguments that those who relied on Department of Justice legal advice shouldn’t be prosecuted. “It literally demolishes any rationale that Obama and (Attorney General Eric) Holder had for not investigating, for not bringing criminal charges, or even launching a criminal inquiry against people who were responsible for implementing this,’ said Leopold” (“5 Explosive Revelations Leaked From Senate Report Exposing CIA Torture,” Alex Kane, AlterNet, April 15). How about bringing an impeachment inquiry of commander in chief Barack Obama? He was -- and is -- deeply involved in hiding these crimes against our rule of law and our disintegrating Constitution. Kane’s report in AlterNet ends with this: “McClatchy’s reporters also revealed that the CIA lied about the number of prisoners it had in its custody in black sites around the world ... In addition, the CIA held 26 people that did not meet the legal standard for detaining someone.” Come on! Only 26? The numbers could run into the thousands. Will we ever find out from these kidnappers and their commanders all the way up? (Nat Hentoff is a nationally renowned authority on the First Amendment and the Bill of Rights. He is a member of the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, and the Cato Institute, where he is a senior fellow.)

BEETLE BAILEY
ALLEY OOP
My son is seeing the paranormal Dear Annie: My 5-year-old son has been claiming to see the paranormal. I’m sure part of it is just his imagination. But sometimes he describes in great detail people and even pets who have died. He mainly claims to see a cousin he never met, but whom he can describe accurately. Sometimes, he will sit up in bed and start talking to a wall, saying he is talking to his cousin. Now he says he can see someone else. He isn’t sure who it is, but it frightens him. My son won’t even walk past the bedroom door without me or another adult with him and the bedroom light on. We don’t let him watch scary movies or anything like that. Is it possible that he is really seeing these things? I’ve mentioned it to a few different ministers who just laughed it off and said there is no such thing as the paranormal. Any advice would be appreciated. -- A Fan of Your Work Dear Fan: The fact that your son doesn’t watch scary movies does not mean he hasn’t been exposed to ads for them or comments from friends. Nonetheless, our concern is not that your son is making it up. Sometimes manifestations of the paranormal can indicate a medical problem. Please take him to his doctor
for a complete checkup, including a neurological exam. Dear Annie: A couple in our social circle have Annie’s developed Mailbox a disgusting habit in recent years, and no one knows how to approach them about it. These people blow their noses at the dinner table every time they sit down and then return their dirty tissues to their pockets and carry on eating. This is not just a gentle dab at the end of the nose. It’s a fullblown empty-the-sinus kind of thing. These people are well educated with good jobs. I’m sure they would be devastated if we said something, but it has reached the point where we no longer accept dinner invitations if we know they will be there, because this nose blowing turns our stomachs. We can’t understand how no one in their family has mentioned it to them. Is this a social faux pas, or are we too picky? -- Disgusted
should be done in the privacy of the bathroom. Should it happen again in your presence, simply say, “My goodness, Horace! Your allergies must be getting worse. You’d make all of us more comfortable if you used the powder room to take care of that.” The two of them may be mildly miffed, but making people sick at the dinner table is not appropriate.
Dear Disgusted: It is definitely a social faux pas to blow one’s nose at the dinner table. One can wipe a sniffle, but blasting more than that
Dear Annie: I would like to contribute to the responses to “Frustrated with Noise,” who complained about young children in church. When my sons were small, they were a wild bunch running down the aisles of our synagogue. Our rabbi never reprimanded them. If a baby cried during services, the rabbi would always ask the parents not to remove the child. One day he explained: He was a Holocaust survivor. The first year after he was liberated from the concentration camp, there were no children at services. They had all been murdered. After a year or so, people started to have children again. Babies were born. At the first service with children in attendance, there was the sound of babies crying. It was such a joyful sound that our rabbi never again wanted to preside over a service without the sound of children. -- Agoura Hills, Calif.

A business of your own, no matter how small in the beginning, will give you an outlet for your creative talent that will prove very lucrative.

You will gain respect, support and an invitation to work collectively toward a worthy cause. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- A business acquaintance will need a helping hand. The assistance you offer will be appreciated and rewarded, but make sure you take time out to nurture your own needs, as well.

By expanding your expertise, you can make great strides toward your future goals. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Don’t be nonchalant about your achievements. Speak up and make sure that your accomplishments are noticed. Self-promotion is necessary to let others know what you have to offer. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- It’s best to deal with personal matters on your own. Don’t let misunderstandings fester. Be the first to offer a compromise. Professionalism will speak volumes about your ability to lead. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- You can get a lot accomplished if you tackle your tasks head-on. Find a quiet place conducive to finishing what you start. Collaborative efforts will not be in your best interest.

PEANUTS
SOUP TO NUTS
By Phillip Adler Confucius said, “Men’s natures are alike; it is their habits that carry them far apart.” That certainly applies to bridge players -- although claiming that all players’ natures are alike would be stretching the truth. This week we are exploring some common habits of players that can cost points. Look at the North and East hands. Against four hearts, West leads the club six. How should East plan the defense? South opened with a weak two-bid, showing a respectable six-card suit and 5-10 high-card points. One can be a tad liberal when nonvulnerable. North understandably took a shot at game. He knew that they might lose the first four tricks in the black suits, but maybe the contract was laydown, or perhaps West might lead a diamond, letting South run for home with hearts headed by the kingqueen. The adage that does not work on this deal is “return your partner’s suit.” That is much more likely to be right in no-trump than in a suit. Here, if East returns a club, West wins the trick but is endplayed. He cannot do better than to exit with a diamond to dummy’s jack. But South continues with the heart ace and another trump to take one spade, five hearts and four diamonds. East can see three probable winners in the heart king, club ace and club king. (West would not have been likely to lead from jack-high clubs.) The fourth trick has to come from spades. If West holds that ace, there is no hurry, but if he has the king, there isn’t a moment to lose. At trick two, East must shift to the spade seven (top of nothing). Then the contract will fail.

Walks hurt Twins in loss to Royals BY MIKE COOK ASSOCIATED PRESS
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Trevor May was better Monday night, but it wasn’t enough for the Minnesota Twins. In his second career start — and third overall appearance — May pitched into the fifth inning before control problems resurfaced and the Twins lost 6-4 to the Kansas City Royals. Erik Kratz homered twice after replacing an ailing Salvador Perez, and Jason Vargas pitched seven strong innings to help the first-place Royals take three of four in the series. They
have won 13 of 15 and 21 of 26 to open a two-game lead over idle Detroit in the AL Central. Oswaldo Arcia and Trevor Plouffe homered for Minnesota. May (0-2) allowed seven hits and three earned runs in 4 2-3 innings. He walked four and struck out one. In his first nine major league innings, he’s walked 13 batters and struck out three. “Going into this outing I really wanted to focus on one pitch at a time. I felt like I did it much better this time than the last couple times. It’s all about taking a step
forward, keeping it simple and getting back to the basics,” said May, who was 8-6 with a 2.93 ERA at Triple-A Rochester. May made his debut on Aug. 9, and it was a rough one. He walked seven in two innings and gave up four runs. In 2 1-3 innings of relief last Tuesday in Houston, he gave up two earned runs and walked a pair. “He was executing pitches. He kept the Royals’ hitters off balance for the most part. It was the walks that hurt him tonight,” said Twins bench coach Terry Steinbach, who took over after manager Ron Garden-
hire was ejected in the first inning. After breezing through four innings of his home debut, May walked the bases loaded in the fifth. Perez followed with a tworun bloop single and Billy Butler added an RBI single to give the Royals a 3-0 lead. “The difference between a walk or an out sometimes is making one pitch. I wasn’t able to make a couple there and then I paid for it,” May said. “If you get yourself in trouble, the other team’s job is to make you pay for it and they did.” That was enough for Vargas, who has dominated the Twins this season. He
retired 10 in a row from the second through sixth while his offense built him a cushion. Vargas (10-5) allowed one run on four hits and struck out three, but had his scoreless innings streak snapped at 17 when Arcia hit a solo homer in the seventh. Trevor Plouffe hit a threerun shot off Aaron Crow in the ninth inning, but Greg Holland came on for his 38th save in 40 tries. When Perez left, Kratz came in as a pinch hitter and drove a pitch just over the wall in left field for a 4-0 lead. He added a solo shot to center in the ninth for his first multihomer game.
Coyotes are young and inexperienced
BY JOSEPH WHITE AP SPORTS WRITER
LANDOVER, Md. (AP) — If the Cleveland Browns pick a quarterback based solely on numbers, there’s not much either Johnny Manziel or Brian Hoyer did to show he deserves the job. If the choice is based on maturity, the hot-shot rookie’s obscene gesture lost him some ground to the nondescript sixth-year veteran. Manziel raised his middle finger toward the opponents’ bench as he returned to the huddle late in the third quarter of Monday night’s 24-23 loss to the Washington Redskins. Truth be told, it was one of the few times a Browns QB actually found his intended target. “It does not sit well,” Cleveland coach Mike Pettine said. “It’s disappointing, because what we talk about is being poised and being focused. ... That’s a big part of all football players, especially the quarterback.” Manziel called the moment a “lapse of judgment” and suggested it was brought about by another game of unprintable verbal grief from another team’s players and fans. He was openly mocked by Brian Orakpo in the first quarter when the Redskins linebacker raised both hands and performed the 2012 Heisman Trophy winner’s “money” gesture after a sack by Ryan Kerrigan. “I get words exchanged throughout the entirety of the game, every game, week after week, and I should’ve been smarter,” Manziel said. “It was a ‘Monday Night Football’ game, and cameras were probably solid on me, and I just need to be smarter about that. “It’s there, and it’s present every game, and I just need to let it slide off my back and go to the next play.” Meanwhile, Pettine needs to pick a starting quarterback. The performances were so unspectacular that the coach suggested he might audible from his previously stated plan of announcing his regular-season starter on Tuesday. “All the options are still on the table,” Pettine said. Hoyer started Monday night and completed 2 of 6 passes for 16 yards. His self-assessment: “It probably couldn’t have been any worse. It’s disappointing. It was embarrassing.” Manziel, the No. 22 pick in the NFL draft, was 7 for 16 for 65 yards and a touchdown. Of his series early in the game, he said: “I really tried to force everything and not let it fly like I should have. I need to get better at that and throw the dang ball.” Those stats, as mediocre as they are, were padded by series against the Redskins’ backups. In the first quarter — when Washington’s starters were in the game — Manziel was 2 for 7 for 29 yards, and Hoyer was 0 for 2.

Learning on the fly The Williston High School boys tennis team has 27 players out for the 2014 season, but only one with varsity experience. Williston opens the season Friday at home against Bismarck Legacy.
Williston boys tennis returns only one player from last season BY MARK JONES WILLISTON HERALD
Young and inexperienced is the best way to describe the Williston High School boys tennis team for the 2014 season. “We are very young and very inexperienced,” said Williston boys tennis coach Wade Stueve. The Coyotes lost their top five players from last season, who helped the Coyotes qualify for state as a team. Junior Tyler Hermanson is Williston’s lone returner from last season. He played in the No. 6 spot last season, and will be in the No. 4 or No. 5 spot this season.
Freshman Thomas Sogard played sparingly in the No. 7 spot at the end of last season. Sophomore Brooks Hodenfield will play in the No. 1 spot for Williston this season. Hodenfield played in the middle of the junior varsity roster in the 2013 season. “He put in a lot of time in the offseason,” Stueve said of his No. 1 player. “He went to a lot of camps, and that’s a credit to him.” For Hodenfield to make that big of a leap up the ladder in a tennis program is rare. “It’s almost unheard of,” Stueve said. “But we lost five
kids from last season.” Sophomore Robert Krom will play in the No. 3 spot for Williston, while junior Jace Paryzek will be in the No. 6 position. “We have no seniors,” Stueve said. “But we have 27 kids, so we are going to be very young and very inexperienced.” With the addition of Bismarck Legacy to the West Region this year, the balance of power has shifted a bit. Due to school boundaries, Bismarck Legacy gains all of Bismarck Century’s players, except for the No. 1 player. “It’s a shift in power,”
Stueve said. Legacy will contend with Minot for the West Region title. Legacy will also make up for the loss of Dickinson. The Midgets will not field a team this season due to dwindling numbers. “Dickinson has been hurting for numbers the last two or three years,” the Williston coach said. The Coyotes won’t have to wait long to get a shot at Bismarck Legacy. The two teams will square off Friday afternoon at the Davidson Tennis Complex. “We want to try and improve as the season goes
along,” Stueve said. “We want to work on getting first serves in and putting balls away.” 2014 Williston High School tennis schedule 8/22 vs. Bismarck Legacy, 2 p.m. 8/23 at Minot tournament 8/26 vs. Minot 8/29 vs. Bismarck Century 9/2 at Dickinson 9/5 at West Fargo 9/5 at Jamestown 9/6 at Mandan 9/11 at Jamestown 9/12 at Wahpeton 9/12 at Fargo North 9/12 at Fargo Davies 9/13 at Fargo tournament 9/16 at Minot, 4 p.m. 9/19 vs. Bismarck, 4 p.m. 9/22 at Bismarck tournament 9/25 at West Region meet at Minot 9/26 at west Region meet at Minot 9/27 at West Region meet at Minot 10/2 at state tournament at Bismarck 10/3 at state tournament at Bismarck 10/4 at state tournament at Bismarck
Bar set high for other Vikings rookie Barr Nadal won’t defend U.S. Open title because of wrist BY DAVE CAMPBELL AP PRO FOOTBALL WRITER
EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) — The crowd at Minnesota’s preseason games has given Teddy Bridgewater quite the welcome. Anthony Barr is the one more likely to hear those cheers from Vikings fans throughout his rookie year. The quarterback was always going to be the featured offseason acquisition for this team, considering the passing problems of the last four years, and the smiling soft-spoken kid coming off a high-profile career at Louisville has been met with great anticipation from the masses. Further proof: those “Teddy! Teddy! Teddy!” chants throughout his time on the field during the first two exhibitions. In those same games, though, Barr’s play was just as obvious. The outside linebacker has a sack and a half, a quarterback pressure and a forced fumble so far. “Doing all right. Getting better. Made some mistakes,” Barr said. He won’t make a name for himself with measured comments like those, but
the ninth overall pick in the draft -- 23 spots ahead of Bridgewater -- is poised to make a big impact on coach Mike Zimmer’s scheme. The converted fullback from UCLA, who played only two seasons on defense in college, has the combination of size and speed to be a productive player if he can quickly adapt to the pace of the NFL game. Barr, so far, has shown he can. “Anthony has so many good things going for him. He is extremely smart. He hardly makes the same mistake twice. He takes unbelievable notes, and he is a great athlete,” Zimmer said recently, before going on to praise the way Barr has handled his criticism: “He does not get shaken up, and he does not go in his shell.” Barr, at 6-foot-5 and 255 pounds, has the prototypical pass-rusher body, and the Vikings have been trying to take advantage of that. He’s the starter in the base alignment at the strong side spot and stays on the field for the nickel package. Barr, however, has been moved to defensive end at times in those passing
situations with the nickel group as the Vikings work on varying his role with the goal of making it more effective and less predictable. The sack Barr recorded for a 9-yard loss at the end of the first half against Arizona on Saturday came during a play that started with him in a three-point stance. “It’s fun, yeah,” Barr said. “It gives me a different look.” Already, opposing tackles have begun to shift back a bit to give them a better chance of blocking Barr. “He’s got great instinct. He’s a great kid, he works hard, he’s humble and he wants to be great,” Greenway said. “So the sky’s the limit for him.” Barr’s progress has also eliminated one position of concern on a defense that still has several. Jasper Brinkley and Audie Cole are continuing to compete for the middle linebacker job, and Zimmer said on Monday “it’s close.” Then there’s strong safety, with Chris Crocker, Kurt Coleman, Robert Blanton, Andrew Sendejo and Jamarca Sanford all remaining in the mix.

Reigning champion Rafael Nadal pulled out of the U.S. Open because of an injury for the second time in three years Monday, leaving Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer as the men to beat at the year’s last Grand Slam tournament. Nadal announced his withdrawal, blamed on a bad right wrist, one week before play begins at Flushing Meadows. “I am sure you understand that it is a very tough moment for me since it is a tournament I love and where I have great memories from fans, the night matches, so many things,” a posting on Nadal’s Facebook page read. “Not much more I can do right now, other than accept the situation and, as always in my case, work hard in order to be able to compete at the highest level once I am back.” The second-ranked Nadal plays left-handed, but he uses a two-handed backhand.
The 14-time major champion was hurt July 29 while practicing on his home island of Mallorca ahead of the North American hardcourt circuit. The next day, Nadal announced he needed to wear a cast on his wrist for two to three weeks and would be sitting out tournaments in Toronto and Cincinnati. The 28-year-old Spaniard also said at that time he expected to return for the U.S. Open. Instead, he’s the fourth man in the Open era, which began in 1968, to decline to try to defend his U.S. Open title. The others were Ken Rosewall in 1971, Pete Sampras in 2003 and Juan Martin del Potro in 2010. Del Potro also is out of this year’s U.S. Open after wrist surgery in March. Nadal is 44-8 with four titles in 2014, including his record ninth French Open trophy in June. He has not competed since losing in the fourth round of Wimbledon on July 1.

Sports physical season is well underway for fall sports. Many student athletes and their parents are using the occasion to make an annual appointment with their provider.
state assistance to finance the $40 million convention hall, Breugelmans said. Architecture-firm Populous is attached to the project and would design the abstract structure. “Williston is all about energy. You want something that comes out of the ground. It will be an iconic building that will be known,” Breugelmans said of the hall, where the preliminary designs reflect the unearthing of oil in the Bakken Formation. “That’s what Williston has to be— ahead of the curve.” Wyoming-based Granite Peak Development, which owns the 15-acre property in the southwest portion of city limits, has a contract with interested parties contingent on an agreement with the city of Williston, said Terry Metzler, the North Dakota operations manager of Granite Peak. City officials have discussed the need for a convention hall before, and approved a hospitality tax that could help afford one. The city has continued to hold conventions in the so-called epicenter of the boom and officials have openly recognized the limitations of current infrastructure and quality of life developments. Conventions held for western North Dakota have been rerouted to the Fargo Civic Center, Bismarck Civic Center or Alerus Center in Grand Forks. In light of this dilemma, The Prime Group pitched its project to Mayor Howard Klug and city officials Monday morning. “I hope he liked it,” Breugelmans spoke of the mayor. “We are really in a positive route here in getting this program on the road.” City officials expressed interest in a convention hall, but a recent AE2S study showed economic struggles. The city will have a total of
$1.04 billion in project costs by 2020, with a financial gap of $474 million. “The beauty of the project would be that it generates money,” said Tom Rolfstad, executive director of Williston Economic Development. Klug, the president of the Williston Convention and Visitors Bureau, has become aware that the convention and business center would create spin-off opportunities and contribute to the city’s sales and real-estate tax structures. “If we don’t do something like this, we’re going to fall behind,” he said. Rolfstad compared the need of this project with the 234,000 square foot Williston Area Recreation Center. The Williston Parks and Recreation District has been paying off a bond with sales tax and revenue generated from the structure. “It looked like a big project Now that’s it’s there, it’s a marvel for the community,” Rolfstad said before acknowledging how important it will be to have the city board consider this project a top priority amid existing budget constraints. “We’ll have to play our the hand to see what the outcome is.” Klug has organized a committee to review the project, as commissioner ready themselves for budgetary hearings that start on Friday. “I’m excited about the possibility of something of this magnitude coming into our area,” said Scott Meske, president at the Williston Area Chamber of Commerce. “I know there’s a lot of details to be done and it’s really a matter of putting this into the mix as a priority. The economy in the Williston area is strong enough to support something of this size and vision. We are in the middle of the Bakken basin. We are not on the edge.”

Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) Director of Public Works, David Tuan presented information on the bid opening for the Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF). Bids were opened for the WRRF on Thursday, July 17th. The contract was divided into four parts: General Construction, HVAC & Plumbing, Electrical & Controls, and Combined. A total of six contractors submitted bids, with the low bid combination being as follows: • Contract 1: General Construction - Rice Lake Construction, Inc. - $84,166,000 • Contract 2: Heating & HVAC - Williams Plumbing & Heating - $5,744,400 • Contract 3: Electrical & Controls - Colstrip Electric, Inc. - $12,817,500 Total: $102,727,900 • Contract 4: Combined ? Rice Lake Construction, Inc. - $103,768,000 The low bid combination for this project is approximately 8% higher than the engineerʼs estimate of $95,000,000, which may be attributed to the increasing cost of materials and labor.

Ordinance 998 - Modifying Section 25.H and Creating the Downtown Parking District Second Reading Rachel Ressler from Planning and Zoning presented information on Ordinance 998. Ordinance 998 lowers parking requirements for the Downtown, defines the 2014 Downtown Parking District, and removes Parking Lot District No. 5 from the Zoning Ordinance, leaving Parking Lot District No. 5 solely as an assessment district through the Auditorʼs office. A fee resolution sets fees for an option to pay in lieu of providing parking spaces in the Downtown. After the Downtown Plan was finalized in March of 2014, the City Commission appointed a Parking Committee to start implementation on one aspect of the plan, which was to create a parking solution to the cityʼs parking concerns. The Parking Committee has been working on several key projects, including implementing timed parking and enforcement of timed parking, hiring a consultant to do a parking study, including looking at the possibility of a parking garage, and creating an ordinance that creates parking requirements that incentivize development downtown. This ordinance is the result of that work. The ordinance parking requirements for downtown are: • 1 space per 500 square feet of office space • 0 spaces for retail • 1 space for 1 bedroom, efficiency, and studio apartments • 1.5 spaces for 2 bedroom apartments • 2 spaces for 3 bedroom apartments In addition, it creates an option and process for development projects to pay in lieu of providing spaces for a project. That process involves an application received by the Planning Department, which brings the application to the Parking Authority, which makes a recommendation to the Planning and Zoning Commission, which makes the final decision on the projectʼs ability to pay in lieu. Applicants are required to show: • A good faith effort to provide on-site parking; • That lot size and shape prevent a project from being built with all required parking; • The planned parking location of all tenants within the building; • Lack of project feasibility without reduction in parking requirements. This money will go to the Parking Authority, to be used for maintenance of public parking and creation of new public parking. The fee will be collected by the Building Department at the time the Building permit is issued, as are Park Dedication fees. The fees are set by a separate resolution in order to allow the fees to change over time, as conditions downtown change. Currently, for a redevelopment project, the fees are set at $3,000 per space and for a new-build project, $15,000 per space. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommend that the City Commission approve the second reading of Ordinance 998 and the fee resolution.

The Guardians Foundation Michael Shaw, the Executive Director of the Guardians Foundation thanked the community for their acceptance. Over the last 10 months they raised awareness and enough funds to open up a program to house veterans that are coming into the area that are looking for work. They have been able to create $1.6 million in annual wages back to the community with the veterans they have housed and have been placed at work. Mr. Shaw said they have raised over $90,000 to create their programs here that they have reinvested back into the community. Mr. Shaw is asking to be able to physically stand in the street for one day. This is an annual one-time event where they physically stand in the right of way for a few hours. They have lots of experience in this technique and safety is always a priority. Commissioner Cymbaluk asked if they were done doing the baskets. Mr. Shaw said they would like to not have to do the baskets anymore, maybe just once or twice a year. Doing the baskets is something that wears the community out.

This is a standard NDDOT Cost Participation for NDDOT SOIA projects. The city gains now access to the water plants intake from walkways under the existing Lewis & Clark Bridge. While the current plans call for the removal of the existing bridge, the pier from which the walkway is suspended would remain in place. David Tuan, the Western Area Water Supply Project, and NDDOT are developing a separate project to maintain access to the intake structure. The CPM calls for the city to pay for any costs incurred under the NDDOT Bridge Project associated with this walkway and access to the intake structure. As currently proposed, the NDDOT Bridge Project does not call for any expenditures by the city.

At the last City Commission meeting, Mr. Tracy asked to convene the Building Board of appeals to review a decision that he made. After review of the ordinance, it has been determined that they do not have enough members on the board. They are required to have five and have two alternatives, and currently they only have four members. They need to appoint a few new members to the board. It was suggested that Mr. Tracy present the commission with some names of people who were qualified. They need to appoint one permanent member and two alternatives. Mr. Tracy came up with five names - Mark Schneider (local architect), Luke Rasmussen (Project Manager for Miller Insulation and President of the Board for the Williston Builders Association), Mike McLean (architect for JLG), Mark Coduss (local general contractor) and John Biggs (local architect). All of these gentlemen are willing to serve on the board. Commissioner Cymbaluk recommended appointing Mark Schneider for the permanent position on the Board of Appeals Committee.

The project does still qualify for the Renaissance Zone and did want to note they are in favor of the project even in the revised format. (2) Preliminary plat to be known as Erickson Subdivision (dedication to new high school), NW1/4 except Sublots 1, 2, 5, 6, T154N R101W, City of Williston - Orville Erickson/Mill Moonen, AE2S Principal Planner, Donald Kress presented the preliminary plat to be known as Erickson Subdivision (dedication to new high school), NW1/4 except Sublots 1, 2, 5, 6, T154N R101W, City of Williston. This is adjacent to the west of Harvest Hills Subdivision Between 32nd and 37th Street west. The applicant, Orville Erickson, requests a subdivision of 142.02 acres of the NW1/4 of Section 9, T154N, R101W, to create two lots. This property is within the extra-territorial jurisdiction of the city. Lot 1 has been deeded to Williston Public School District No. 1 for the development of a new high school. Lot 1 is proposed to be annexed to the city of Williston. A hearing will be held at the August 12, 2014 City Commission meeting to consider the annexation. That annexation has been advertised. No development is proposed on Lot 2 and it will remain within the extra-territorial jurisdiction at this time. The project site will take access from 37th Street W, and a dedication for the extension of the existing 37th Street W is included in the plat. However, the development of the school itself cannot proceed until a second means of access has been provided. Development of the school will require the extension of utilities from the adjacent Harvest Hills Subdivision to this property and the construction of a sewer lift station in the southwest corner of Lot 1. Tonight, they are just separating the two pieces of property so the high school project can go forward. MOTION BY BEKKEDAHL, SECONDED BY BROSTUEN, to approve the preliminary plat of the Erickson Family Subdivision, to create two lots, one of which will be developed as a public high school, contingent on addressing all staff comments.

CARRIED: 4-0 K. Assessor L. Convention and Visitorʼs Bureau 10. Appointments and Consultations with Officers 11. Unfinished Business A. Public hearing for a plat and zone change for a subdivision to be known as Iron Point, commercial and industrial use located in SW1/2 of Section 20, T154N, R101W (NE corner of 140th Avenue NW and Highway 2), City of Williston Mayor Klug stated that this item is the continuation of a public hearing for a plat and zone change for a subdivision to be known as Iron Point, commercial and industrial use located in SW1/2 of Section 20, T154N, R101W (NE corner of 140th Avenue NW and Highway 2), City of Williston. Mayor Klug opened the public hearing. Rachel Ressler from Planning and Zoning presented information on this public hearing. Ms. Ressler stated that this is a plat, zone change, and future land use amendment. The zone change is from A: Agricultural to M-1: Light Industrial for 27.194 acres and from A: Agricultural to C-2: General Commercial for 24.62 acres. The Future Land Use Amendment is for 27.194 acres to go from Residential to Light Industrial. This property has been proposed for a commercial and light industrial development, to be located along Highway 2/85, west of Schlumberger and east of the Township Road 140th Avenue NW. The concept of the site includes commercial outlots along Highway 2/85, a larger big-box type commercial lot in the center of the site, and light industrial along the western and northern boundaries of the site. The use is appropriate for the area, which transitions from heavier industrial into more commercial and light industrial uses toward town. The highway commercial component, in particular, is in direct alignment with the Comprehensive Planʼs goal for a commercial gateway district into town. The applicants have submitted a preliminary plat, a zoning layout, and a concept plan for the site. The property will have its primary access through what is currently the Schlumberger access off of Highway 2/85. At the time, due to ownership of 140th Ave NW, there will be no access from the subdivision onto this road. It is a township road and as such shall not be accessed by city lots. On the north side of the subdivision, a platted 80 foot right of way (noted as B Street on the plat) will connect 140th Avenue NW to the access road that currently runs on the north side of the Schlumberger lot. There is an internal public right of way (noted as A Avenue on the plat), which connects the southern access off of Highway 2/85 to “B Street.” “B Street” will be platted but not constructed from “A Avenue” west to 140th Ave NW. “B Street” will be constructed and connected to the access road behind Schlumberger, which will allow a secondary access into the subdivision. The site is connected through interior public dedicated roads, from which each lot has access. Further reciprocal access easements between lots could be filed if necessary. The applicant has provided a full traffic study, which has been reviewed by the North Dakota Department of Transportation (NDDOT) and the cityʼs traffic consultant, SRF. The traffic study recommends signalizing the Highway 2/85 and “C Avenue” (Schlumberger access), as buildout occurs. The NDDOT will not allow that signal. The city would potentially advocate for a light, depending on the tenants of the lot. There is a rural water line along the south side of the property, which needs to remain in service. The plat also should show an easement for this line. The site can be served by water after connection into a 16” water line that runs just inside the highway right of way. Future water lines need to run through “B Street” and connect to the east. Sewer lines need to be extended along the highway to 140th Avenue NW, which is the developerʼs responsibility, as will be stated in the development agreement. The site should be served by on-site detention ponds. Any storm drainage should be directed away from the Schlumberger lot. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the preliminary plat of 71.378 acres in the SW1/4 of Section 20, T154N R101W, contingent on addressing all ad hoc comments, all staff comments, a development agreement being signed, city review of any CC&Rs for the property and proper park dedication. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of the zone change from A: Agricultural to M-1: Light Industrial for 27.194 acres and from A: Agricultural to C-2: General Commercial for 24.62 acres in the SW1/4 of Section 20, T154N R101W, contingent on addressing all ad hoc comments, all staff comments, a development agreement being signed, city review of any CC&Rs for the property, proper park dedication, and final plat recordation. The Planning and Zoning Commission recommends approval of a Future Land Use Amendment from Residential to Light Industrial for 27.194 acres in the SW1/4 of Section 20, T154N R101W, contingent on addressing all ad hoc comments, all staff comments, a development agreement being signed, city review of any CC&Rs for the property, proper park dedication, and final plat recordation. Mayor Klug stated that this was a public hearing and asked for public input. Becky Hogan, the Director of Planning Services for R and R Engineering introduced the applicant Chris Puchalla to tell the commission more about the project. Chris Puchalla said they had one area where they would like some guidance from the commission, and that is regarding 140th Avenue which has not been annexed into the city. They are not opposed to a non-protest agreement for future improvements to construct, they are however, concerned that if there is a non-protest to special assessment and there is no time frame or knowledge as to when the city may or may not take in 140th Avenue, that it would affect Lot E, D, C, B and A in terms of there being an open potential assessment against the ownership of those lots. This would impede potentially selling these lots. They have been supportive of not accessing 140th Avenue; they would just like some guidance with regard to the non-protest agreement. Mr. Puchalla said the only other item he would mention is the traffic and signalization. They would request that they address signalization relative to the traffic study and whether it is with a retail tenant or warrants being met so that there is some function within the development agreement so that signalization is addressed. Commissioner Bekkedahl asked if Avenue C was on a quarter section line. Mr. Hanson said he believed that to be true. Commissioner Bekkedahl then asked what the distances between that, the 4 mile corner intersection, and the next signal. Mr. Hanson
999. Public Notices
stated it would be about 3/4 of a mile. Mayor Klug asked who owns the storm water detention area. Mr. Puchalla stated there was a request to them to start an association to address this. They have not yet determined the ownership structure and plan to address it with staff as they work through development agreements and the final plat. This has to be done before the final plat records. Commissioner Bekkedahl said there is some reluctance on the part of cities to have separate lots solely for detention basins because the maintenance issues may someday become the cityʼs in those instances. Donald Kress said that the CC&Rs have covenants, conditions and restrictions that require that the detention basin is a separate lot owned by the Home Owners Association (HOA). The HOA has power to assess its members to pay for the maintenance of that. If the HOA should dissolve, the city would be able to step in and assess the property owners. This would be a special provision of the development agreement. Mr. Kress stated that this is the best protection they can get for the city. After calling three times for public input; none was heard and Mayor Klug closed the public hearing. There was discussion of having an easement platted but not developed so that in the future if it were to get developed there would be something in place. Janice Arson stated that she didnʼt understand why with the curve in the road they currently platted, it deters it from a straight shot through the development and for her that is a safety issue. Mrs. Arson said the way they have it platted now is a good way for traffic to flow and she likes the way they have it platted now. Commissioner Bekkedahl said his issue is not with the way its platted now but what will happen in 20-30 years from now. Commissioner Bekkedahl said he would at least like to look in to having an easement in place so the city could extend farther north if they needed to do so in the future. Commissioner Bekkedahl just wants to make sure they have options so that other generations that may have a different utilization come to the city and say they have to provide a street that was never placed because it will be expensive for the city to do at that point. He stated he doesnʼt disagree with what they have now and if they have plenty of other access points to the property then he is fine with that. Commissioner Brostuen said there was a request by the applicant to waive a non-protest, and he would like to touch on that again. Mr. Puchalla stated they were asking that the non-protest just cover the right to construct and that the owners have the right to engage in a process at that point because it will affect the ability to develop those lots but they donʼt want to impede the improvement of 140th Avenue. Commissioner Cymbaluk said that the problem is that you canʼt access it. Ms. Ressler stated that the no access easement would be there because they do not want them annexing 140th when it isnʼt a city road. At some point in the future if the city were to annex the road and develop it and wanted to allow access from those lots onto 140th at that time, at that time the no access easement could be dissolved. Commissioner Bekkedahl said that once the city paves a road without a special assessment district in place, the city cannot recover any of those costs. Even though it makes sense to allow access at that point, there has normally been a cost share to having that advantage. MOTION BY BROSTUEN, SECONDED BY BEKKEDAHL, to approve the preliminary plat of 71.378 acres in the SW1/4 of Section 20, T154N R101W, contingent on addressing all ad hoc comments, all staff comments, a development agreement being signed, city review of any CC&Rs for the property, proper park dedication, and including the no access change requested by the applicant subject to attorney review.

During review of the specs, they found that the minimum gross vehicle weight was below 51,000 pounds which does not meet their bid spec weight. Also, they were not able to provide a list of people who have actually been provided with this equipment. Due to this, they recommend going with the second low bidder which is M-B Companies, Inc. The City Attorney concurs with this. M-B Companies, Inc. bid in the amount of $339,923, the estimated cost was $400,000.
