Legislative Update – Dorwart gave an overview of numerous Senate and House bills and how each affects the City of Glendive. Dorwart thanked Betsey Hedrick a couple of times for all of her hard work on SB367; a TSEP funding bill. The bill eventually failed which will cost the City about $625,000 in funding. Dorwart also mentioned SB278 which originated out of Glendive and increases the minimum amount for hiring an Engineering firm from $20,000 to $50,000 without needing a RFP.

Mayor Jimison asked for public comment. No one came forward.
NEW BUSINESS
Approve waiver for Daniel Thomason for Ordinance 5-5-1 for shooting pigeons on BNSF property- L. Baker moved to approve waiver for Daniel Thomason for Ordinance 5-5-1 for shooting pigeons on BNSF property; second by Hedrick. Reichert stated the number of pigeons is determined by food supply and habitat. Killing the pigeons will help in a couple of areas, but that is it. They will come back and in larger numbers. Places like The Jordan and the elevator make great habitat for the pigeons and until the City addresses the building issue, the pigeons will come back. Hedrick added she thinks the City should let the guy shoot the pigeons, but identify the problem. Shooting the pigeons might not be a fix, but use it as a vehicle to fix the problem. The motion passed 5-2, with Council members Anderson and Reichert voting no.
Approve adoption of updated Flood Plain Regulations – L. Baker moved to approve adoption of updated Flood Plain Regulations; second by Hedrick. Rice explained the Flood Plain Regulations are state & federally mandated so there isn’t a lot of wiggle room. Rice and Sanderson both think this is the best way to go. The motion passed.
Approve adoption of updated Development Standards – Coon moved to approve adoption of updated Development Standards; second by Anderson. Rice explained that Development Standards are entirely city specific standards. Rice and Leath have looked at this numerous times in the past year. Rice & Coon both stated these Standards cover a lot of gray areas and give the City much needed control over things that are falling through the cracks. The motion carried.
Approve adoption of updated Sub-Division Standards – Hedrick moved to approve adoption of updated Sub-Division Standards; second by L. Baker. Rice added the Sub regulations the City is current under now are from 2010. The motion passed.
Accept proposal for Engineering & Surveying from Interstate Engineering for $26,750.00 – Coon moved to accept proposal for Engineering & Surveying from Interstate Engineering for $26,750.00 in the following steps: Task 1 at $3750 & then Tasks 2&3 once SB278 is ratified. The motion passed.
Ambulance Service Donation – MidRivers Coop. – Mayor Jimison mentioned the $350.00 donation the City received from MidRivers.
Accounts Payable Claims: $24,951.48 – Anderson moved to approve accounts payable claims in the amount of $24,951.48; second by Mitchell and the motion passed.
Payroll for April: $237,901.23 – L. Baker moved to approve payroll for April in the amount of $237,901.23; second by Coon and the motion passed.
DEPARTMENT HEAD COMMENTS
Police – Chief Mitchell reported that Assistant Chief Feist went through the Patrol Officer position applications (they received three more applications this week) and scheduled the written and physical testing for May 23rd. One of the vehicles has broken down so the PD is down one vehicle.
