At the October 10, 2011 Regular City
Council meeting, information was
provided to the Council on the North
Dakota Public Employees Retirement
System (NDPERS) regarding the
retirement funds. The 2011 Legislature
• authorized NDPERS to increase
' employer/employee contributions 1%
each on January 1, 2012 and January 1,
2013. At the October 2011 meeting the
employee relations committee
recommended to the Council the post-tax
deduction election of the 1% employee
contribution and the pre-tax deduction
election of the 1% employer contribution
for 2012 and 2013 of which the Council
subsequently approved. The employee
portion of the increase was approved by
motion but the employer portion was
inadvertently omitted in the motion.
Knutson moved to approve the pre-tax
deduction election of the 1% employer
contribution as previously recommended.
Blake seconded the motion, upon roll call
vote, all voted aye. Motion carried.
Mayor Stenvold informed the Council
that the land rent contract between the
City of Park River and Larry Toews Farm
will expire at the end of 2012. There are
others interested in renting the 21.4 acres
located by the city lagoon. Stenvold
asked the Council what action they
wished to pursue regarding the land
rental. Lundquist moved to advertise the
21.4 acres for rent on bids. Blake
seconded the motion and upon roll call
vote, all voted aye. Motion passed.
Mayor Stenvold presented the council
with a letter from Lake Agassiz Water
Councilman Byron, chairman of the
Advisory Committee of the Joint Water
Boardv u13dated-4e, City :GouaQil on the
meeting between the City of Park River,
Walsh Rural Water District (WRWD), and
the City of Minto. The meeting was held
to review the cost of water production
under the agreement. The year to date
production costs will come up short
approximately $.55 per 1,000 gallons.
This is due partially to an incorrect CT
electric meter installed when the plant
was renovated. This was corrected in
January, however, the 2012 cost/I,000
gallons was set prior to that time. The
production cost shortage will be
reconciled from the joint reserve fund in
February 2013. The committee reviewed
the proposed 2013 operating budget for
the water treatment plant and
recommended a wholesale rate increase
of $.08 per 1,000 gallons of water, which
including the $.10 per 1,000 gallons going
to the reserve account, will bring the rate
to $2.24 per 1,000 gallons with the
January 2013 billing. As recommended
by the Advisory Committee, Byron moved
to approve a resolution to raise the
wholesale water rate $.08 per 1,000
gallon to $2.24/1,000 gallons beginning
January 1,2013. Knutson seconded, and
upon roll call vote, all voted aye. Motion
carried.
Lundquist moved to make a donation
of $250.00 to the state tournament bound
Park River girl's volleyball team from the
Park River Municipal Utilities. Lorton
seconded, and upon roll call, all voted
aye. Motion carried.
Mayor Stenvold informed the Council
that the EDAturned down the City of Park
River's grant application. The City of Park
River may reapply after December 1,
2012. The grant would have been used
to make improvements to the road going
to the Walsh Grain Terminal. The Council
decided to have the Street Committee
meet with Mike Gratton, Manager of
Walsh Grain, City Attorney S Currie, S
Rehovsky of First United Bank, Public
Works Director D. Larson, and Business
Manager T. Larson and discuss
alternative options.
City Attorney S. Currie presented the
Council information on the North Star
