5.New Business
A.River East Development Area
1.Resolution No. 3560 (Property Transfer Salvation Army Building)
Mr. Molnar presented Resolution No. 3560 (Property Transfer Salvation Army
Building). This will be the last winter of the former Salvation Army Building at 501
S. Main being used for weather amnesty. As the property is no longer needed for
that purpose, it is the staff’s opinion that the property be transferred to the
Redevelopment Commission for possible redevelopment of the site. Weather
amnesty will continue at the site under the existing agreement with Hope
Ministries until Spring 2023.
Upon a motion by Commissioner Sallie, seconded by Vice-President Inks, the
motion carried unanimously, the Commission approved Resolution No. 3560
(Property Transfer Salvation Army Building) submitted on Thursday, October

B.River East Development Area
1.Change Order (Seitz Park Phase I)
Ms. Boyles Presented Change Order (Seitz Park Phase I). This request will
provide funding for a change order (#7) for the Seitz Park, Phase I project. The
general contractor, Ziolkowski Construction, has requested a change order for
$990K due to escalation and delay costs related to access to the Seitz Park
project area. As a result of ND Hydro project delays, Ziolkowski was not able to
access the site to begin work on Divisions C, D and E until June of this year, a
date and time that exceeded their final completion date of 5/26/2022. Ms. Boyles
