Informational: The committee considered was a possible change to diagonal parking on the south side of the Law Enforcement Center on 6th Street SE from 2nd Ave SE to 3rd Ave SE.
Police Chief Scott Edinger said the change would allow more parking spaces of about 13 to 15, for the LEC and courthouse.
He presented a conceptional drawing for the plan which would make the street in that block to one way traffic from west to east.
The committee took no action.
Considered was removing the discarded garbage carts from city property by offering all the carts and parts to another government agency or advertising the carts for sale.
The committee recommends, offering the carts for sale to another entity.
The committee recommends the bid received for One (1) New Tandem Axle Truck (Cab & Chassis), Street Department, to Nelson International in the amount of $62,916.
Considered the bid received for One (1) New Gravel Body and Hoist (Tandem Axle Truck Mounted), Street Department, to Northern Body in the amount of $18,615. Assistant City Attorney Abby Gerioux said one of the bids was minus a bid bond.
The committee recommends moving the item to the City Council without recommendation, pending research to waive the irregularity.
Considered was the bid received for the As-Is Direct Sale of 2008 GMC, 6 CY Dump Truck with Slide In Snow Hauling Box (Street Department). No bid bond was attached, and the bid was rejected, and directed the city to re-advertise for bids.
Considered was the bid received for One (1) New Tandem Axle Truck (Cab & Chassis), Water Department.
Two bids were non-conforming. The committee recommends, moving the item to the City Council meeting after review for further action.
Considered the bid received for the As-Is Direct Sale of 2002 Sterling, Tandem Axle Truck(Cab & Chassis), Water Department. No bid bond was included, so the committee recommends the bid be rejected, and re-advertised.
The city will look at the request for bids process, and communicate better to bidders on the bid process.
Another late submitted bid on another item was recommended not to be opened.
Discussion was held relative to the trailer house at 154 of Sunnyside Trailer Park which was destroyed by fire on February 12, 2018, and that the owner has not removed the structure. The 30 day notice is up on Friday, May 25, 2018.
City Building Inspector, Tom Blackmore provided a photo and said the structure is unsafe and poses a health hazard.
Patty Stephan, owner of Sunnyside Trailer Park said, the State Health Department informed her it has not had contact with the mobile home owner, with the responsibility going to her, for removal and that the owner has not relinquished the property, saying he lives on the property in his car. Council Member Brubakken said the owner has received the 30-day notice for removal.
The committee recommends removing the structure and the city absorb the costs up-front, then bill the home owner, and then if action is not taken, bill the property owner for the costs of removal.
The meeting was shown live on CSi 67, followed by replays.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — An organization representing North Dakota’s more than 50 counties says further budget cuts to the judicial branch would critically affect the state’s juvenile court system.
The Bismarck Tribune reports that lawmakers heard last month from the North Dakota Association of Counties about the negative impact state budget cuts would have on juvenile offenders.
The state trimmed 20 percent of juvenile court staff last year. About 75 percent of the judicial budget is wages.
Lawmakers passed several justice reforms last year, including bills for substance abuse and behavioral health. But those bills didn’t include juveniles.
Association attorney Aaron Birst told the interim Justice Reinvestment Committee last month the juvenile court can’t face more cuts if the state is “truly serious about trying to people help so they don’t become an adult offender.”
