City directs staff to align ETJ fees with county and draft policy on right-of-way acquisitions
Summary
Minot City Council voted unanimously to direct staff to prepare an ETJ fee schedule aligned with county fees and to draft policy language on ETJ right-of-way acquisitions or dedications. City planners were present to answer questions.
City Council members directed staff to prepare two policy items related to the city’s extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ): an ETJ fee schedule aligned to Ward County fees, and policy language addressing ETJ right-of-way acquisitions or dedications. City Council Member Paul Pitner moved the fee-schedule motion, seconded by Mike Blessum; the motion carried with no recorded nays. Pitner later moved the motion on right-of-way policy language, seconded by Rob Fuller; that motion likewise carried unanimously.
City of Minot Principal Planner Doug Diedrichsen and Central Dakota MPO Executive Director John Van Dyke were present to answer questions about the ETJ and planning implications. The minutes record the two staff members as available for questions but do not include technical detail about proposed fee amounts or policy language; the motions direct staff to return with specific proposals at a subsequent meeting.
