Comments and Questions From
Citizens: Jon Markusen & Chris
Midgarden appeared to ask if the City
would consider a cost share mill & overly
project for a portion of Sandwood Place.
The portion would either be 22 x 900'
stretch starting where the pavement ends
to Hillcrest Country Club for about
$15,000 or 22 x 1600' starting at County
Road 12 to Hillcrest Country Club for
about $26,000. The cost share would be
between the residents of Sandwood,
Hillcrest Country Club and the City. The
project was referred to the Streets &
Utility Committee and their findings will be
presented at the June 11th Council
meeting. Midgarden left at 7:44.
Marcus Lewis, CEO, and Waylon Lietz
of First Care Health Center appeared to
present their request for a conditional use
permit. FCHC is planning an addition on
the north side of the hospital and need to
move the equipment garage. They are
asking to move the garage to their parking
lot located at the corner of Vivian Street
West & Code Avenue North. A petition
with the required number of signatures
was submitted to Thompson. Knutson
moved, and Lundquist seconded to
approve the conditional use permit to
move the garage to the parking lot located
at Vivian Street West & Code Avenue
South. Upon roll call vote, all present
voted aye. M/C.
Lundquist moved, and Lorton
seconded to approve the first reading of
Ordinance 8 Offenses; 1. In General, 2.
Against Property, 3. Against Public Order,
Health Safety and Sensibilities. Laaveg
informed the Council this ordinance helps
by charging shoplifting offenders in
Municipal Court and imposing finesrather
than incarcerating offenders which is high
and not cost effective. Jurgens stated
incarceration costs $75 per day to jail
offenders and this ordinance would
eliminate incarceration. In addition,
female offenders must be transported to
Grand Forks for incarceration and incur
additional fees. Currently the District
Attorney will not prosecute if the value is
under $200 to $250. Laaveg stated this
ordinance also addresses disorderly
conduct. (Copies of entire ordinance may
be viewed at the Auditor's office.) Upon
roll call vote, all present voted aye. M/C.
Sean & Bobbi Cantellay applied for a
food and beverage specialty license for
beer & wine only. They are purchasing
the building at 414 Briggs Ave S and plan
on opening "The Grouse & Gopher" cafe
and would like to serve wine & beer with
the meals. Laaveg informed Council the
City Ordinance requires that a 30-day
residency requirement must be met to
qualify for any alcoholic beverage license.
She recommends approving the license
request contingent on Cantellay fulfilling
the 30-day residency requirement.
Knutson moved, and Anderson seconded
to approve the food & beverage alcoholic
beverage license request from Sean &
Bobbi Cantellay contingent that Cantellay
meets the 30-day residency requirement.

off. Larson stated Bossert's curb will be
repaired when the frost 'comes out of the
ground & that 3rd St West has been
leveled off and the barricades have been
removed. Anderson inquired if the Texas
crossing in the big park will be repaired
and opened. Larson has contacted Don
Greicar to open the area to see what
repair needs to be done and estimates
approximately eight yards of concrete will
be needed to fix the crossing.
