2. Park Request to Form Sales Tax Committee
Bruce Kaiser, Vice President of the Williston Park Board, thanked the Board for the opportunity to speak
with them.
Kaiser states that the Park District is in need of improvements. The goal is to continue to improve the
quality of life for citizens of Williston, Williams County and the surrounding area. The Park Board is
requesting the commission Board form a sales tax committee to investigate, research and offer a place on
the 2010 June Ballot for the public to vote on a one-percent sales tax for the City of Williston. The funds
generated from this sales tax will be used for the park for general operations, capital improvements,
equipment reserve fund and a potential grant program. The Park District is asking that the one-percent
sales tax be implemented if the ballot item would be passed by the public “after” the Williston School
Districts one-percent comes off the books.
Koeser asked Kautzman to explain the process the Park District must go through to get the sales tax
funds. Kautzman stated that the State law requires the Park District to get sales dollars, as does the
School Districts through the City. There are State Statues that control this along with that the State Tax
Department doesn’t want to deal with multiple entities. This way the Park District needs to approach the
Board to request putting this issue on the ballot for the public to vote on.
Kautzman asked if the Park District is talking about the June ballot because the Charter Committee will
need time to put this together and would the Park District be opposed to waiting until the November
ballot, Kaiser said no.
City Commission Meeting 10 January 26, 2010
Bekkedahl stated that the original school sales tax was scheduled for a 15-year maximum levy but if they
accrue enough funds before that the City can discontinue that tax and if the public votes can go to the Park
District. Bekkedahl goes on to say that because of the increase of monies from the increase and from the
original projections paying it off in 2010, 2011 or 2012 would be ahead of the original 15-year plan
timeframe for that tax to expire.
Sue Evans states that she spoke with a representative of American State Bank and it is not projected to be
paid off until late 2011 or early 2012.
Glen Granrud suggested that the Board not grant the sales tax to the Park District. Granrud states that the
one-percent sales tax equals $2.2 million a year and they are asking for a 10-year levy which could
amount to approximately $30 million. Granrud states that the Park Board is asking for oil impact money
which he feels would be better than the sales tax money.
Darin Krueger, Director of Parks and Recreation, wants to clarify the oil impact tax that they are pursuing
but it has to go through legislation next year and they will be dealing with the 17 other Parks and
Recreation Districts county wide.
Klug asked if the one-percent sales tax passes what are the projections on how it will affect the residential
property owners of Williston, Kaiser states that at this time they are still forming a Citizen’s of Williston
Committee to design the program and he doesn’t have all the numbers, but at the present time they are
projecting if the one-percent passes they will no longer have to do the full mill levy that is currently being
done which is at 8% of the tax dollars of Williston. This will eliminate at least 5% of that, the reason they
cannot eliminate them all is research has shown that State laws on the mills needed to keep for retirement
and insurance. Kaiser stated that he would like to do away with the 8%.
Koeser asked if the committee is appointed and it goes to the vote of the people is the Park District
willing in the ballot language to talk about reducing mills, Kaiser said yes. Kaiser states that if they get
the sales tax it would give the Park District approximately $1 million a year more than what they have
now. Kaiser says they would be able to “play catch-up”. If you look at the Parks and Rec and
infrastructure of Williston it “sucks”. There has been no money for any improvements and they have only
been able to maintain what they have.
Kaiser commented that Community Builders is going to be building a new park and will look at the Park
District to maintain it.
Krueger said one of the proposals is to cut the general mills, which is 24 that amounts to $670,000 which
they would give back to the property tax and that number could even go higher. If the sales tax goes
through they could get the recreation center, outdoor pool and golf course free to the children of
Williston.
Klug asked as a Park Board member and business man is he comfortable on a sales tax fee to run the
program other than a mill levy that he know it will be, Kaiser said at this point and in the future
“certainly”. Kaiser said sales may drop but they are not going to drop to a point where it had in the past
and they could do business on the sales tax figures from five years ago, comfortably.
Rolfstad stated when the school had levied their tax to rebuild the schools, legislation said they couldn’t
do that anymore and are there other towns using that money for parks, Kaiser said he believes Dickinson
City Commission Meeting 11 January 26, 2010
is. Their facility is supported by sales tax dollars and mineral wells.
Granrud states that $670,000 in property tax with a current number of $2.2 million is over $1.5 million a
year which the Park District could do a lot of maintenance for that but they are also asking for grant
money and talking about a 10-year span and feels this isn’t the right way to do it.
Krueger explained the grant program and one of the things they are talking about is a community grant
fund. The Park District wants to help other areas to help with improvements such as play grounds and
match funds similar to the STAR Fund.
Evens commented that it appears it will turn into a free daycare and if the facility is free to the children
and asks if there are staffing issues, Krueger said there is plenty of staff for all the facilities.
Koeser stated he wanted to understand the process; Kautzman said their first step would be to appoint a
Charter Committee and the Committee would establish the charter that the tax would operate under and
work on the ballot language that would move forward to implement that. Koeser asked if the
Commission would have to approve the ballot language, Kautzman said the Charter and ballot language
would come back to the Commission and put it in front of the public.
Lawson asked if the Committee would put everything together and then come back to the Commission
again to be put on the ballot; Koeser said that is his understanding.
Koeser asked who will make up the Committee; Kautzman said the Committee will be appointed with a
combination of Park Board personnel, himself and outside citizens as was done with the School Districts.
MOTION BY BEKKEDAHL, 2ND BY BOGAR, to grant the Park District’s request to form a Sales
Tax Charter Review Committee and bring back information to the Commission as necessary and
allow the Mayor to appoint that Committee at the next meeting of the Commission.

2. Early Call Golf Tax Increment District
Kautzman asked if the Commission would be comfortable with doing an early call on the Tax Increment
District. Kautzman states once January incremental monies were given to the City there will be sufficient
funds to do an early call. Kautzman spoke with the bonds people and they suggested doing a May 1st
bond call. If the Commission is comfortable with this Kautzman will communicate with the bond
attorney for the paperwork and he will present it to the Commission at a future meeting.
Koeser asked Kautzman to explain what an early call means. Kautzman states certain bond issues the
City has have dates of where an early meeting can be called to pay the rest of the funds off and principal
owed for all the bonds sold and in this case there will be roughly $279,000 of principal that would be paid
off early. If the early call isn’t done than the payoff for the principal wouldn’t be until 2017 of $41,000
plus interest.

MOTION BY LAWSON, 2ND BY BEKKEDAHL, to table this issue for further review.
MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY
Meiers states there are a number of projects that have been budgeted for this year that he will need
assistance with for the engineering design and construction. He asked for proposald from engineers and
local engineers such as Interstate, KLJ and AmeriTech-Ackerman-Estvold. Meiers states he asked for
budget purposes on their estimates. The following projects are ready to rebid.
32nd Street – Will be overlaid and is estimated to cost $82,500 for the design engineering. KLJ
was retained for this project and to do Gaukler’s work on-site and the overlay. Meiers recommends
continuing to work with KLJ on this project.
11th Avenue West & 24th Street West Water, Sewer, & Street – This project was bid last year but
not awarded. Meiers recommends using Ackerman-Estvold.
Bekkedahl asked Meiers which number needs to be considered or both the design and estimated
engineering, Meiers states both numbers.
Waste Water Treatment Plant Study – Advanced Engineering has done most of the City’s water
and sewer and this will be the next big facility project. Meiers recommends Advanced Engineering.
Municipal Landfill Leachate Control System – Meiers states Wench Associates gave a reasonable
price and Meiers recommends using their expertise for this project.
East Industrial Lift Station Improvements – Meiers feels this one should be put on hold at this
time.
Larson-Stang Alley, 16th Street West and 3rd Avenue West, 13th Street West Highland Drive –
These are the street construction project that have been budgeted. Meiers recommendation is to utilize
Interstate Engineering for 16th Street West and 3rd Avenue West, 13th Street West Highland Drive and
Akerman-Estvold-AmeriTech for the Larson-Stang Alley. These will be special assessed and a protest
hearing and notice will be sent out.

Marburger stated Meiers has reviewed the agreement and the scope of services and estimated hours and
found everything to be appropriate. Marburger states there are a couple of items that needed to be
changed and KLJ is addressing those issues but the document wasn’t ready in time for the meeting.
Marburger recapped the agreement. Meiers recommendation is to authorize the Mayor to sign the

comfortable with that process, Furuseth said he is.
MOTION BY BOGAR, 2ND BY BEKKEDAHL, to approve the engineering agreement after the

Lawson informed Marburger of the last Commission meeting of the concerns of Great Lakes Airlines and
if he has had a chance to contact them, Marburger said he has contacted them and the Director of
Maintenance will be here Wednesday night. He will try and reach Doug Voss, Chairman of the Board
and major stockholder in Florida. Marburger is checking Voss’s schedule to see if it is possible for him to
come to Williston but Marburger’s concern is finding him a hotel room. Klug suggested contacting the
hotels and feels they would be willing to work with him in finding a room since this is such an important
issue.

11. Unfinished Business
1. Proposed Brigham Oil Lease
Bekkedahl stated there is language that fits the State Statues but the question is how to proceed with this
in response to their original bid from Brigham Land Management, which they have inquired about. The
Minerals Committee met last Thursday morning and again Tuesday morning to review the proposal. The
request to lease to Brigham Land Management is as follows: T.154 North-Range 101 West – Section 11:
NE/4, Section 11: SE/4, Section 11: NW/4, Section 11: SW/4, All Airport Property, and Section 10:
NE/4NE/4 Williams County, North Dakota. This is due to recommendations of the State Oil and Gas
Leasing Office that this is how the State does all their bidding is by quarters and if the City of Williston
agrees to this lease proposal it will have to be done by individual leases by quarters not sections.
Bekkedahl read a section off the handout given to the Commissioners informing them that it does comply
with State Statues 38-09-18. The original offer was for $450 per acre lease bonus 3/16 royalty with a
three year term, but the new lease option is $750 per acre lease bonus and 1/5 royalty and three year term.
It is the recommendation of the Committee to accept Brigham Land Management’s proposal.
Koeser asked Bekkedahl what the range he thinks is there, Bekkedahl commented it is believed to be
about 560 acres in the Airport Section 11 and 40 acres in Section 10 for a total of approximately 600
acres. The title search will be done by Brigham Land Management.
MOTION BY BEKKEDAHL, 2ND BY LAWSON, the City execute an Oil and Gas Lease with
Brigham Oil and Gas for Township 154 North-Range 101 West and separate Leases on Section 11:
NE/4, Section 11: SE/4, Section 11: NW/4, Section 11: SW/4, and Section 10: NE/4NE/4
encompassing approximately 600 acres between all the leases.
Klug asked why these aren’t being put up for bid and what is the rational behind not doing that.
Bekkedahl states part of that rational is this is a very generous offer for what is occurring out there now
and there are places where they are getting $1000 an acre but those are the exceptions.
Sue Evens asked if this was a cost free lease. Bekkedahl said this is at no expense to the City and the City
would gain 20% of the production sales regardless of the cost of the well would be.

make the changes. Gooch-Egge said he will have to reapply for the tax abatement which is State required.
Rolfstad asked if the overall cost of the project would be higher, LaFave said yes much higher. LaFave
