Valley City (CSi) The Valley City Commission met in Special Session Wednesday afternoon at City Hall to review proposed settlement conditions from Scott Sandvik’s attorney and make recommendations to city staff. All members were present. The attorney, Jennifer Braun, requested not to be present at the meeting.
In June this year Sandvik’s bar, My Bar, was found in violation of the city’s liquor ordinance, and the establishment was served a 30 day suspension.
An Administrative Hearing was set before the City for August 29, 2016.
Sandvik’s attorney requested the opportunity to present to the City Commission prior to the hearing date, a proposal for a resolution.
At the City Commission meeting on Wednesday, City Administrator Schelkoph said the attorney’s proposal included reducing the suspension from 30 days to two days.
City Attorney Myrhe said city officials have conferred relative to the settlement, which is being brought to the City Commission for direction for action.
Commissioner Pedersen said, a two day suspension was “light.”
Myhre said seeing the offense occurred past the one year period, from the prior offense, the case is considered a first time offense.
Commissioners discussed the number of days for the suspension this time.
Sandvik’s settlement stated that he will not be under the influence of alcohol, along with his employees while on duty at the bar. Myhre said that had occurred in the past.
The City Commission on Wednesday reached a consensus, to suspend the license for 12 days, at one day per month, over a period of 12 months, and inform Valley City Police on the days when the suspension is being served. Also for Sandvik not to consume alcohol while on duty at the bar.
In addition the agreement calls for Sandvik to have a chemical dependency evaluation and follow through on the recommendation.
The City Commission passed a motion relative to the consensus of the Commissioners.
Myhre said he will contact Ms. Braun with the city’s “last best offer.”
Sandvik is a candidate in the September 15, 2016, Mayoral race, along with Dave Carlsrud and Janice Clark Klein.
The meeting was shown live on CSi Cable 68.

FARGO, N.D. (AP) — A settlement has been reached in a lawsuit brought by a transgender employee at a Fargo hospital who says she was discriminated in the workplace.
Faye Seidler, who was born as a male and identifies herself as a female, filed the complaint against Sanford Medical Center. She says she was not treated fairly and was wrongly denied access to the women’s locker room.
Sanford’s attorneys said in court documents that the hospital made a good-faith effort to address Seidler’s complaints and were working on the locker room issue when she quit. She resigned from her job as a technician in March 2015.
Seidler’s attorney, Joshua Newville, says the agreement resolves the matter “to the mutual satisfaction of the parties.” He would not disclose terms of the settlement.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Cigarette maker RJ Reynolds Tobacco Co. is helping fund an effort to snuff out a measure seeking to increase North Dakota’s tobacco tax.
Campaign finance reports filed with the state show the tobacco company has donated more than $194,000 to fight the tobacco tax increase that will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot.
The Raise It For Health North Dakota coalition wants to raise the state’s 44-cent cigarette tax another $1.76 per pack, to $2.20. Tax on other tobacco products, including liquid nicotine for electronic cigarettes, would increase 28 percent to 56 percent.
North Dakota ranks 47th among states in tax paid by smokers.
Campaign finance reports show backers of the measure have raised $540.
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota farmers have made significant progress with the small grains harvest despite a week of rainy weather.
The Agriculture Department says in its weekly crop report that up to 4 inches of rain was reported in the eastern part of the state. Some white mold problems have developed in some areas of northern North Dakota.
The spring wheat harvest is nearing the halfway point. That’s well ahead of the average pace. The oat and barley harvests also are well ahead of average, at more than half complete.
Pasture and range conditions are rated 56 percent good to excellent. Stock water supplies are 77 percent adequate to surplus.
HELENA, Mont. (AP) — The Western Governors’ Association plans five workshops to discuss forest and rangeland management practices and develop a compromise that could include more logging while also preserving forest and rangeland for tourism and recreation.
Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, chairman of the WGA, said Tuesday the first workshop will be held Sept. 20-21 in Missoula. The dates for workshops in Idaho and South Dakota, as well as the details on two others have not been announced.
Pyramid Mountain Lumber chief operating officer Loren Rose and Jim Stone, chairman of the Blackfoot Challenge conservation group, say people on all sides will need to collaborate to reach a compromise.
The WGA hopes to make a management recommendation to Congress.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager says voters should pay attention to links between Donald Trump’s staff and Russian political interests. The Associated Press has learned that Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, helped a pro-Russian governing party in Ukraine secretly route at least $2.2 million to two Washington lobbying firms in 2012. Manafort did not report the payments to U.S. authorities. Clinton campaign chief Robby Mook stopped short of calling for a federal investigation, saying he’ll leave the law to the “experts.”
ALBANY, La. (AP) — The number of Louisiana residents staying in shelters is falling as floodwater drains from the worst-hit parishes in the state. State officials say 6,000 people remain in shelters, down from more than 11,000 earlier in the week. More than 40,000 homes were damaged and at least 30,000 people and 1,400 pets were rescued as the storm hit parishes across south Louisiana with heavy rains and severe flooding. Eleven deaths have been attributed to the storm.
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (AP) — The fire chief in California’s San Bernardino County says, “There will be a lot of families that come home to nothing.” Mark Hartwig spoke after a morning flight over the fire-ravaged area — a scene he described as “devastating.” The blaze east of Los Angeles has expanded to nearly 47 square miles as it advances on thousands of homes. An undetermined number have already been destroyed.
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Authorities say a North Carolina man killed his two young daughters, their sister and their mother before he fled to Virginia — where he was arrested last night in the victims’ car. They say the killings took place just weeks after Dibon Toone was forced to get psychiatric help because of a suicide attempt. Authorities found the bodies of Garlette Howard and her three young daughters Tuesday evening. Police say they may have been dead for several days.
CHICAGO (AP) — An autopsy shows that the 18-year-old who was shot and killed last month by a Chicago police officer during a chase was hit on the right side of his back. The autopsy released Wdnesday by the Cook County Medical Examiner’s also determined that Paul O’Neal didn’t have any drugs in his system when he was shot July 28 in a chase that was partially captured by police body cameras and dashcams. O’Neal careened down the street in a stolen car as officers fired repeatedly at the vehicle before it crashed into a police cruiser and O’Neal ran.
