President of the Board
1.
Adoption of 10-Year Plan to End Homelessness in Williston, ND
Laurie Garbel, President of the Williston Basin Resource Coalition, briefed how the 10-year plan
to end long term homelessness was prepared. In 2007 grant funds became available from the
state in the way of technical assistance to write 10-year plans for all the major cities in the state.
Mrs. Garbel recapped fourteen agencies that provide services for homeless people in Williston
and many of these agencies provide the same kinds of services, though the criteria for accessing
the services may be very different among agencies. There are at least fourteen beds available for
homeless individuals every night.
Deanne Long with Community Action Partnership and Tracy Cox with Emergency Services and
Homeless Shelter operate three rooms every night and a majority of the time the rooms are full.
Since December 2006, the majority of the clients range from the age of 18 to 47, with 85% being
local residents. Individuals are allowed to stay up to 30 days. Most of the funding comes
through the Federal Government to the State in the form of Emergency Shelter Grant Program,
that pays just for the room. The staff funding comes through Community Action Grant Funds.
The group developed seven strategies and Mrs. Garbel highlighted a few of them. Strategy #3:
Increase the availability of permanent supportive housing was identified state wide among every
city that participated.
Kautzman pointed out that Housing Authority has a 12% vacancy rate, which is roughly 24
vacant apartments. Those utilizing the assistance of Community Action are given information
regarding other agencies that are available to them as well. Long addressed that sometimes the
available apartments are 2 or 3 bedroom and with governmental stipulations, a single individual
is not allowed to occupy.
Garbel added that not only is the group trying to use the resources here in Williston better, but
they are also trying to be proactive in what=s coming our way in Williston.
With Permanent Supportive Housing the individuals are placed in a housing situation and
provided the support, whether its for their mental illness or addiction. The current facility that=s
being built is a permanent supportive housing that has eight beds for those with mental illness.
Rolfstad questioned an article in the media where they were showing Veterans that were in
shelters. Garbel visited with Bob Evans of the Williams County Veterans Services Office and
Evans has been able to work with the situation and resolve it. Long added that the percentage is
lower in our area than the national.
MOTION BY UNDERHILL, 2ND BY LAWSON, to adopt the 10-Year Plan to End Long Term
Homelessness, designate the Williston Basin Resource Coalition (WBRC) as the facilitating
entity to implement the Plan upon adoption and designate a City Commissioner and the
Workforce Development Coordinator as liaisons to the WBRC to provide guidance and support
specifically with the implementation and maintenance of the Plan.

Mosquito Funding
President Koeser received a call from Bob Lavue with Senator Dorgan=s office stating $197,000
was given to this region for mosquito control. $50,000 of the $100,000 will go to the Williston
and the other $50,000 will fund the Trenton area, less the 5% administrative fee. The remaining
$97,000 will go to Williston, receiving approximately $147,000.
4.
Water Treatment Plant Funding
The state has come up with a plan to give the remaining two million to the City out of the
Resources Trust Fund, due to excess oil dollars going into there. Senator Dorgan put an ear mark
in the water bill to give the two million and the ear marks go cut by 1.5%, so it ended up being
one million nine hundred some thousand dollars that the City will be getting. The state will be
making up the 1.5% so the full two million will be received.

2008 Improvement Projects
Meiers ran through the various 2008 Improvement Projects. It will be the developers
requirement on the 24th Street west water extension to hook up to the line. The Kensington is
expanding in with an Alzheimer unit and they want to run a 6" water line to the back of that.
Instead of them paying the whole cost to run a 6" to that, Meiers felt this would be an ideal time
to change over to an 8" line. Allowing them to stub off of that and special assess that portion,
which is why it shows a zero cost. It would be done as a resolution necessity.
2nd Street Rehabilitation Project, which is a Federal Aid Project, has a number of valves that are
not operating. There=s about six valves that will be cut into those three blocks and simply patch
it back up, which will be all City cost.
Under District 08-2, there is a $7,500 cost to oversize the 12" mains, as well as, sewer and
special assess the balance. For the Storm Sewer Extension, Meiers added if cost wasn=t an issue
to bring it up to the intersection. The individuals along the Water, Sewer, & Street Improvement
January 22, 2008

District won=t really benefit a lot from the improvements, so as a result the cost of $55,000
would be a city expense.
Bekkedahl mentioned talking about this in the past where you have large drainage areas that
impact small lot owners and spreading the cost out city wide versus just those lot owners.
Koeser inquired if you leave it in where its City cost, the $610,000 would basically come from
sales tax dollars and Meiers agreed. Kautzman questioned why wouldn=t the Board consider
charging the property owners a portion of the storm sewer, which would break down to about
$1,000 to $1,200 per lot.
Meiers has petitions for non-protest waiver for the street improvements. The water and sewer
you can be done without a protest, but do you want to allow those being assessed for the storm
sewer to protest? The other option Meiers sees is to send out a letter to those involved that its in
the city=s interest as a necessity to put this sewer in or else to go back to them as a protest
hearing.
There are three options: one, not to do the project; two, that the city does it and pays with sales
tax dollars, and three, to set up a special assessment district. Another possibility would be to
assess 50% and the sales tax picks up the other 50%.
MOTION BY UNDERHILL, 2ND BY BEKKEDAHL, to assess 50% of the cost to the property
owners and the other 50% to come from sales tax dollars.

7th Avenue west, the stretch between Kum N Go and the wash houses has really broke up badly.
There is a frontage road platted but its not in yet. Proposed is a mill and overlay and the city
would pick up 50% with the remaining being assessed to the property owners.
The 19th Street West Project was started last year where Williston Tire and Murphy Motors. The
proposal is where the 3rd Avenue stretch is would be vacated to Murphy Motors and Bethel and
they would maintain that road. We would rebuild 19th from the frontage road up to 3rd and mill
and overlay the balance of that to 4th Avenue. The city will pick up 2/3rd of the cost to
reconstruct and 1/2 the cost of the mill and overlay.
The 12th Avenue West Project will be rebuilt and put it in as a curb and gutter. Once past the
first driveway into Sabin it would then be overlayed up to the city limits line or the railroad
tracks. The proposal is when rebuilding the roadway to replace with a 12" diameter pipe, this is
why the Water Replacement cost is shown at $50,000 city cost. The Street Reconstruction up to
Sabin=s first drive is 2/3rd city. Meiers is proposing to extend the curb and gutters along the
sides and just drain to the curb and gutter, continuing to drain that down to the ends. Then
rebuild the road between the existing roads and the new curb and gutter with a mill and base
overlay and not disturb the main road.
