He said stormwater management needs have been reviewed with city officials, along with the rate structure, and generating enough dollars in the utility fees for the proposed utility.
As an example he said the city hall building’s fee would be $10 per month.
The fee would be $3 to $4 per month for the typical single family residential property.

More meetings will be held with the higher rate payers.

STANLEY, N.D. (AP) — A Seattle man who robbed a bank in North Dakota has been sentenced to serve 22 years in prison.
Forty-four-year-old Jeremy Maines earlier reached a plea deal with prosecutors on several felony charges related to the April 2017 robbery of American Bank Center in Stanley. Authorities said Maines brandished a pistol and threatened to shoot four female employees. He was arrested after a car and foot chase with police.
The Minot Daily News reports Maines was sentenced Thursday to 20 years in prison with eight years suspended for the robbery, and an additional 10 years for terrorizing.
He was given credit for about 1 ½ years already spent in custody and will be eligible for parole after serving 85 percent of his sentence.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Attorneys for Dakotas-based Sanford Health and Bismarck’s Mid Dakota Clinic will make a last-ditch effort next month to merge.
The two agreed to merge last year but a federal judge blocked the move. The judge ruled in favor of the Federal Trade Commission and the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office, which argued that the merger could result in antitrust law violations.
The health care providers appealed. The Bismarck Tribune reports that arguments are scheduled before a three-judge panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Nov. 13 in St. Paul, Minnesota.
A decision typically takes a few months. Court documents indicate that Sanford and Mid Dakota will abandon their plan if the injunction blocking the merger is upheld.
WILLISTON, N.D. (AP) — A Williston man is jailed and accused of threatening to kill a co-worker and his family.
A judge has ordered 50-year-old Charles Cage held on $50,000 on three felony terrorizing charges. Authorities say Cage argued with a colleague at work Wednesday, went out to his vehicle, returned and acted as if he had a weapon tucked in his waistband. KEYZ reports officials say he grabbed the co-worker by the neck and threatened to kill him, his wife and 7-year-old daughter.
Cage was arrested at his home later Wednesday. It was not immediately clear if Cage has hired an attorney.

VALLEY CITY (VCSU.com) – The Valley City State men’s basketball team ran into a hot-shooting Minot State team Thursday night as the Vikings fell 97-64 in an exhibition contest.
Minot State, an NCAA Division II school, shot 79 percent in the first half and 67 percent in the game en route to the victory. The game was an exhibition contest for both teams.
The Vikings held their own early against the Beavers. Valley City State held an 18-15 lead after seven minutes of play. From there, Minot State blistered the nets and outscored the Vikings 36-15 to close the first half with a 51-33 lead.
Valley City State finished the game shooting 38 percent overall (20-53), 28 percent on 3’s (5-18) and 68 percent on free throws (19-28).
Minot State’s hot shooting night culminated in a 66 percent performance overall (40-60), 53 percent from 3-point range (8-15) and 64 percent at the line (9-14).

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Ralph Engelstad and his family have been the biggest donors to the University of North Dakota hockey program since the Las Vegas casino owner played for the team decades ago, including building a $110 million arena on campus that’s one of the top facilities in the country.
Now the school is bringing the hockey team to them, in Las Vegas.
The independent group that runs the Ralph Engelstad Arena in Grand Forks won a successful bid to host the annual U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame game this Saturday, with North Dakota playing longtime rival and fellow hockey powerhouse Minnesota.
Engelstad, who died in 2002, was a goaltender for North Dakota from 1948-1950 and later owned the Imperial Palace casino in Las Vegas. His daughter is now a trustee for the Engelstad Family Foundation, a nonprofit that has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to causes focusing on education, health care and childhood issues.
“They’ve always come to us,” said Jody Hodgson, director of the Ralph Engelstad Arena. “We thought, ‘Let’s take something to Vegas.'”
The event benefits the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame Museum in Eveleth, Minnesota. The U.S. Olympic team has played in the event, but the annual game has usually featured college teams since the inaugural event in 1974. North Dakota was awarded the game in 2016, as well as 2020 and 2022, which Hodgson said is due in no small part to the program’s ability to finance it.
The game can be seen on CSi 75 Midco Sports Network Saturday evening at 9-p.m., Central Time.

Werts was just 1-for-3 passing, but the completing was a 57-yard scoring strike to Darion Anderson early in the second quarter.
Wesley Fields had scoring runs of 10 and 18 yards in the Eagles’ fifth straight win.
Cleveland is off to its first 0-5 start since 2003, LeBron James’ rookie season.

Wilson’s suspension stands
UNDATED (AP) — NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman has upheld the 20-game suspension that was given to Washington Capitals forward Tom Wilson for an illegal check to an opponent’s head in a preseason game.
Bettman determined that the initial ruling by the Department of Player Safety on Oct. 3 “was supported by clear and convincing evidence.” The union handled Wilson’s appeal last week and felt his hit didn’t merit a suspension since it didn’t break a rule.
Wilson’s fourth ban in less than 13 months is costing him nearly a quarter of the 82-game regular season
