He said there have been many complaints since last fall about the property, including multiple tenants and squatter activity.

Application Filed by B2 LLC d/b/a Sign Badgers for a Five-Year Property Tax Exemption Approved (610 University Drive North):
A Hearing had been set for March 16, 2026 on an application filed by B2 LLC d/b/a Sign Badgers for a property tax exemption for a project to be located at 610 University Drive North, which the applicant will use for a commercial sign design and fabrication shop, notice of which had been duly published in the official newspaper for the City of Fargo.
At the March 16, 2026 Regular Meeting, the Hearing was continued to this day and hour.
No written protests have been filed for the attention of the Board.
The Board determined that no person is present at this Hearing to protest or offer objection thereto.
Strategic Planning and Research Director Jim Gilmour said Sign Badgers will operate a commercial sign design and fabrication shop in the building previously occupied by Fargo Brewing. The company is currently in a leased space in West Fargo, he stated and is looking at making improvements to the Fargo Brewing building, moving their operation there and adding employees. It is a primary sector business, he stated and the type of products Sign Badgers makes are items such as room numbers, restroom signs and a wide variety of signs that are sold throughout the country and it is an important business for the metro area. In addition to the jobs, he said, Sign Badgers is making use of a building that has been vacant for some time and is in a challenging location due to the railroad tracks. Sign Badgers also receives a discount through North Dakota Workforce Safety and Insurance, he stated, due to its excellent record with safety.
Dawson Schefter, Sign Badgers, said he has spent his adult life and career in Fargo as an entrepreneur in the advertising and communication businesses. Sign Badgers was an acquisition about a year ago, he said, and it currently operates in West Fargo. The business is committing to three jobs in growth over the next handful of years, he said; however, he does have an active pipeline for mergers and acquisitions and there is an opportunity for more exponential growth. Sign Badgers makes signs and graphics, much like the nameplates sitting on the dais, he said; however, the business offers a wide spectrum of products. He said Sign Badgers is a successful business with a great team looking to expand.
In response to a question from Commissioner Kolpack asking what the businesses’ current employment numbers are and where does he hope the numbers go, Mr. Schefter said there are approximately 14 team members now and he would like to get to 17.
In response to a question from Commissioner Turnberg asking if he was able to move forward with this project without the tax incentive, Mr. Schefter said it would be very difficult.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking if it is one new employee in five years or three, Mr. Gilmour said it is one employee in the first year and then another two within three years. He said he asked Mr. Schefter to be conservative on the employee numbers due to the fact that it will be monitored and it is better to be conservative and overachieve rather than run into trouble by not meeting the goals of the agreement.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking what are the wage levels for new positions, Mr. Schefter said the company pays an aggressive wage in order to attract and retain the talent needed to make this level of products. He said his team members are compensated very well and the current payroll is around $600,000.00 for 14 people.
In response to a question from Commissioner Strand asking what is the annual tax break requested, Mr. Gilmour said $34,000.00 a year for five years.
Commissioner Piepkorn moved the application filed by B2 LLC d/b/a Sign Badgers for a property tax exemption pursuant to Chapter 40-57.1, NDCC be approved.

Second by Kolpack. On call of the roll Commissioners Piepkorn, Kolpack and Mahoney voted aye.
Commissioners Strand and Turnberg voted nay.
The motion was declared carried.

Discussion Regarding a New PILOT Policy for Commercial Redevelopment Continued to a Later Date:
Director of Strategic Planning and Research Jim Gilmour said the new Growth Plan encourages more infill development; however, growth on the fringe of the City continues to be the most common location for new housing and commercial development. A new policy would be an affirmative step to encourage infill growth as recommended by the Growth Plan, he stated and the Economic Development Incentives Committee recommends approval of a new policy. He said the purpose of the new policy is to establish the City's position relating to the use of PILOTs for encouraging redevelopment of commercial areas with high vacancies and/or economically obsolete buildings. The fundamental purpose is to encourage developers to redevelop commercial or apartment buildings that are on previously developed sites, and any new development project characteristics should include higher value and higher density buildings, opportunities for economic development, mixed use developments with shared parking, desirable land uses consistent with the Land Development Code and improved design and public amenities. He said the City has received inquiries; however, this policy is not tied to one specific project. The incentive would limit property tax exemptions to 10 years up to 100%, he stated and would require a "but-for" test to ensure the project would not happen without the aid. He said that while there are no current applications, the policy would fill a gap for projects that do not fit into existing categories such as Downtown, Core Neighborhoods or Low-Income Housing.
In response to a question from Mayor Mahoney asking if a specific project from Roers is being approved tonight, Mr. Gilmour said this vote is not to approve any specific application, though Roers has expressed interest. He said many underutilized or vacant buildings along Main Avenue, 13th Avenue South and South University Drive could benefit from this incentive.
Commissioner Piepkorn suggested the City Commission continue the matter to a later date due to the fact that there are a lot of moving parts regarding tax incentives and the Land Development Code. He said the policy needs to be more complementary to those ongoing changes and since the original proposal in November, many circumstances had shifted making a delay necessary to clarify the broader strategy.
Commissioner Kolpack said she supports the concept of the proposed policy which addresses vacant buildings and a devaluing tax base in an era of inflation and uncertainty. However, she agreed with the need for a continuation to better understand the incentive policies being drafted by Cass County and the School Board, particularly since projects such as the one from Roers would impact West Fargo Public Schools.
Commissioner Strand said he also supports a delay and suggested waiting until after the upcoming election and after the City Commission holds an Informational Meeting to discuss incentive policies as a group. He said commercial redevelopment is absolutely needed given the changing landscape of empty properties; however, this specific moment is not the right time to vote on changes.
Commissioner Piepkorn moved the discussion regarding a new PILOT policy for commercial redevelopment be continued to a later date.

Second by Kolpack. On call of the roll Commissioners Piepkorn, Kolpack, Strand, Turnberg and Mahoney voted aye.
No Commissioner being absent and none voting nay, the motion was declared carried.

2026 Push Cart Program and Survey Results Received and Filed: Appropriate Staff Directed to Work with the City Attorney to Develop Ordinance Amendments to Address Program Operation Issues:
Director of Planning and Development Nicole Crutchfield said Fargo Municipal Code Chapter 18-0315 outlines push cart permitting and authorizes the Planning Director to issue annual permits including allowing one-year extensions. Given the public concerns and the difficulty of enforcement, she stated, specifically regarding food vending on public sidewalks in the Downtown area, staff members across multiple departments have been discussing changes to the program. In January a listening session was held, she stated, hosted by Downtown Liaison Commissioner John Strand and Downtown Community Partnership Executive Director Rocky Schneider. A public survey was issued in February to gain information about the public's perception of the program and given the positive support received in the survey, she said, she is no longer proposing to eliminate the program and instead suggests the City continue the 2026 program as it is for the remainder of the year. Meanwhile, she said, she would like to work with the City Attorney to make modifications to the program by amending the Ordinance to increase spacing standards between carts and brick-and-mortar businesses, more robust enforcement measures, expectations for cleanliness, stronger enforcement tools and other program improvements to address common concerns and complaints.
In response to a question from Mayor Mahoney asking if there have been complaints about people not following the rules and how can the City address that, Ms. Crutchfield said there have been complaints and it has been very difficult to fine those not following the rules; however, she recently worked with the Prosecutor’s office and the Police Department to have a ticket endorsed by a judge, which resulted in a fine. She said the City also faces issues with illegal operators setting up without a permit and as imagined, it is confusing at 2:00 a.m. to determine who is permitted and who is not. She said that there is now better communication between the Prosecutor’s office and the District judge and due to that, enforcement can be improved.
Commissioner Strand moved the push cart program and survey results be received and filed and appropriate staff be directed to work with the City Attorney to develop Ordinance amendments to address program operation issues.

Second by Kolpack. On call of the roll Commissioners Strand, Kolpack, Piepkorn, Turnberg and Mahoney voted aye.
No Commissioner being absent and none voting nay, the motion was declared carried.

Assistant Police Chief Travis Stefonowicz Appointed Interim Police Chief:
City Administrator Michael Redlinger said with the retirement of Police Chief David Zibolski, the process to select the next Fargo Police Chief will begin in the coming weeks. He said traditionally, the City has named an Interim Police Chief to lead the Department while the selection process is ongoing. To provide for leadership and continuity of operations, he said, he is recommending Assistant Police Chief Travis Stefonowicz be named as the Interim Police Chief. He said Mr. Stefonowicz has been a member of the Fargo Police Department for 25 years and has served as a Police Officer, Sergeant and Lieutenant in various assignments and in 2021 he was promoted to Assistant Police Chief.
In response to a question from Mayor Mahoney asking what happens when the Interim Chief is out of town, Mr. Stefonowicz said he has an extremely qualified team and if he were to leave town or if something came up, any member of the Executive Team would be allocated to take over. He said it is part of the Department’s policy that it is specifically identified who is in charge in the Chief’s absence. Depending on who is available for a specific situation, he stated, that person is clearly identified so the entire Department knows as will the Mayor and Commissioners.
In response to a question from Mayor Mahoney asking if it would be better to have one specific person assigned, Mr. Stefonowicz said the current situation probably works best just in case someone has a family engagement and happens to also be out of town, this policy allows him to identify someone else. He said he has a fully capable team that is more than willing to help out wherever needed.
Commissioner Kolpack moved Assistant Police Chief Travis Stefonowicz be appointed Interim Police Chief.

Second by Strand. On call of the roll Commissioners Kolpack, Strand, Piepkorn, Turnberg and Mahoney voted aye.
No Commissioner being absent and none voting nay, the motion was declared carried.

Police Chief Search Process Update:
City Administrator Michael Redlinger said there was a previous discussion on a proposed timeline for the hiring of the next Police Chief and after that, he received feedback and what he clearly heard was the City should try to defer as much of the process as possible until after the election. With the help of Human Resources, he said, a proposed schedule of events has been created. Following tonight's Interim Police Chief appointment, a job description will be finalized and made available to the Commission, he stated, the job will be posted on May 11th and will close on June 19th. A survey will be distributed to all civilian and sworn staff at the Police Department to compile internal feedback and major activities will begin around July 13th. Depending on the desire of the Commission at that time, he stated, an appointment could be made as early as late August. If an outside candidate is pursued, this would require a full background and conditional offer phase and the process would likely wrap up in October.
In response to a question from Commissioner Turnberg asking how the Selection Committee will be determined, Mr. Redlinger said that process will be discussed over the next couple of months; however, he is reviewing what was done for the Fire Chief in 2025 and the Police Chief in 2020. There will also be opportunities for the public to meet the candidates, he said.
Commissioner Kolpack said she wants to reiterate how important community engagement and transparency are for community policing. The more the community is involved, the more successful the final selection will be, she said.

Financial Operations Overview of the Resource and Recovery Center:
Commissioner Piepkorn said in late 2025 the City Commission approved the relocation of the Resource and Recovery Center to 2001 1st Avenue North, contingent upon funding being in place. He said he is requesting a financial overview of the funding for the relocation.
Assistant City Administrator Brenda Derrig said the Engagement Center budget has been streamlined to find efficiencies over the last three years and moving forward, it is anticipated there will be additional efficiencies with the one-floor design, which will produce further cost savings. She said she would be remiss if she did not note that there has been an uptick in issues at the Downtown Library on Saturdays when the current location of the Resource and Recovery Center is closed and due to this, additional security has been added at the Library. Regarding the sequence for the lease and the fit-up of the new Resource and Recovery Center, the City has a lease with the owner and the annual lease payment is $240,185.50. As part of the lease, she stated, the owner contracted for the fit-up and donations go directly to the FM Area Foundation, which reimburses the work once the appropriate documentation is provided. As of today, she said, the funds placed in the Foundation total $548,000.00 and she has received emails regarding additional commitments that are forthcoming. The Mayor is continuing to have conversations with community members, she said and other discussions are ongoing regarding additional opportunities. Expenses to date are $60,000.00, the total fit-up cost is $1.6 million and more than $100,000.00 worth of in-kind work has been contributed so far. She said more than 35 nonprofits are partnering with the City on this work and it really exemplifies a community project.
Commissioner Piepkorn thanked Ms. Derrig for the report, stating the report was exactly what he wanted to see.

Liaison Commissioner Assignment Updates:
The Commissioners gave reports on the Boards and Committees on which they serve.

Public Comments:
None.

The meeting adjourned at 5:57 o’clock p.m.
