resolution in support of the application. The resolution does not guarantee anything other than providing
proof of the applicants support to the application. Once the resolution is provided to GMRPTC then

AGENDA ITEM: Community Center Cost Reimbursement Declaration
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: City Council adopted resolution 2020-03 establishing
procedures relating to compliance with reimbursement bond regulations under Internal Revenue Code.
The resolution provides a blanket approval to reimburse project costs prior to bond issues. For each
project that is moved forward with a potential bond issue, council can just consider approving a
declaration of intent to reimburse itself for the project once bond proceeds are received.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Staff request council’s consideration to declare intent to
reimburse itself for community center costs once bond proceeds are received. The declaration would
allow the preliminary costs such as design to be reimbursed by the bond proceeds.

MEMORANDUM
TO:Lori Bartlett, Finance Director
FROM: Mary Ippel, Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP
DATE:September 1, 2021
REIMBURSEMENT RESOLUTION
RE:
Enclosed is a resolution for consideration by the City Council at an upcoming council
meeting. The Resolution authorizes you to make periodic Declarations of intent to reimburse
expenditures from Bonds (the form is in Exhibit A to the Resolution). The general requirements
of the tax regulations relating to reimbursing expenditures are as follows:
1. the Declaration must be made no later than sixty days after payment of project
costs;
2. the Declaration must contain (a) a reasonable description of the project and (b) the
maximum principal amount of bonds expected to be issued for the project. You will need to fill
in a description for the project in paragraph 2 and a dollar amount in paragraph 3 on Exhibit A;
and
3.the bonds must be issued within the later of (a) 18 months after the payment, or
(b) the date the project is placed in service, but not more than three years after the payment.
A Declaration is not required for preliminary and engineering costs as long as those costs
do not exceed twenty percent of the bonds.
a)Preliminary expenditures include architectural, engineering surveying, soil
testing, and similar costs that are incurred prior to commencement of
construction, rehabilitation or acquisition of a project. Preliminary costs do not
include land acquisition,site preparation, and similar costs incident to the
commencement of construction. Preliminary expenditures, however, cannot
exceed 20% of the issue price of the related reimbursement bond issue.
b)Costs in an amount not exceeding the lesser of $100,000 or 5% of the proceeds of
the issue are considered 'de minimis'."
If you have any questions, please call me.

MEETING DATE: September 7, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Public Hearing - Vacation of Alley on Block 7 (between lot 9 and 10)
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Consider the vacation of the north-south alley on Block 7, Townsite of
St. Joseph
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council initiated the vacation of the north-south alley on
Block 7 between Lots 9 and 10 of Townsite of St. Joseph and set the public hearing at their August 2,
2021 meeting to be held on September 7, 2021.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Council directed staff to process the vacation for the alleyway on
Block 7 between lots 9 and 10 of Townsite of St. Joseph. The alleyway is bordered to the west and east
by two properties. Staff reached out to the two adjacent owners to inform them of the proposal. To-date
staff has only heard from the property owner to the east (211 Minnesota St W Kathryn Krebsbach) who
was not in support of vacating the alleyway. Staff also sent and posted public hearing notices to property
owners within 350’ and to-date no comments have been received. During the public forum at the city
council meeting on August 2, 2021, two properties commented as follows:
rd
Tim Borresch, 11 3 Ave NW, commented that he is not in favor of closing the alleyway that runs north
ndrd
and south between 2and 3Avenue. He feels that his concerns have not been heard by the Council and
that closing the alley is a waste of taxpayer money. He feels the alley provides good access for pedestrian
and vehicle traffic in the area. Borresch added he is frustrated with the approach the City has taken to
projects like this.
Stephen May, 211 Minnesota St W, spoke against closing the entry to block seven. He stated that the area
will become more dangerous if there is not an easy exit on the south side as people park on that alley
when they are at the ballfield. He mentioned other safety hazards that will be created by closing that part
of the alley, such as renters having to move in and out of the various rental properties using the busier
Minnesota Street instead of that alleyway. He added that snow removal will be a challenge and drifting of
snow built up in the alley would be an issue. He would like the Council to reconsider.
If the vacation is approved by the Council, staff recommends that the two adjacent property owners (211
MN ST W and 215 MN ST W) secure and record an agreed upon private easement to guarantee continued
access rights to both properties.
Drainage and Utility Easement:
The city will need to retain a drainage and utility easement due to the sanitary sewer line. The easement
will be the same length and width as the existing alleyway and is shown in the attached exhibit.

Subject:Letter of Intent

To:St. Joe City Council
From: Bad Habit Brewing/Aaron Rieland
Re: Warehouse lease expiration/expansion
Dear Council Members:
We have appreciated the opportunity to lease the warehouse building from the City over the
last several years. Now that the building has been sold, Bad Habit Brewing (BH) is evaluating
various options to best suit these storage needs going forward. This memo is aimed at
disclosing those plans to the Council in the hopes of obtaining your approval in regards to BH
temporary storage needs while the plan is implemented. Details provided below, and as
always, we appreciate your time and history of thoughtful consideration.
The Proposal
BH is seeking approval to place storage pods on the existing BH property for purposes of
transferring the bulk of the items currently residing in the warehouse owned by the City. We
envision this will be near the old bank drive thru area on the Bo Dids side of the building.
This is a temporary solution until we are able to add an expansion to the existing BH footprint
that will allow for our storage needs to be met onsite.
BH Building Expansion
The building expansion is designed to capture two needs; the primary need is simply to add
additional space for our equipment and also the storage aspect noted above. The secondary
aspect is an expansion of the customer facing space, in particular a private event area that
could be used for groom’s dinners, company excursions, birthday parties and similarly sized
events. Bids have already been obtained from Rice and other BCI on this process. However,
we estimate it could take 2-3 months to finalize those given the length of time required by the
contractors to accommodate changes requested and also to ensure BH obtains the best pricing
possible. The purpose of this memo is not intended to solicit approval from the Council on
these plans, but more to provide context on plan status. We have reviewed other storage
options outside of St. Joe and found them to be prohibitively expensive in addition to vastly
impractical from a time and process standpoint. As a result, we are seeking this shorter-term
storage approval path until the buildout is complete and storage can be met onsite. We believe
this longer term solution will further add to the appeal of downtown St. Joe and are extremely
excited to bring this next step forward.
BH Ownership
The main ownership of BH has approved this expansion and has obtained soft approval from
the bank on the financing side (formal approval to be obtained upon appraisal and
signed/designed plan).
Respectfully,
Aaron Rieland

Council Agenda Item 8
MEETING DATE:September 7, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Fire Pumper/Tanker Request
SUBMITTED BY: Fire Department/Administration
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The Fire Board (3-1)
th
recommended approval of the fire pumper/tanker combination truck at their last meeting on August. 9,
2021.
Councilmember Loso voted against the purchase due to questioning the need for this truck at this
time. The area city administrators have discussed working together to have a fire study completed to
review each of our cities. A proposal has been presented to the administrators. The purpose of the study is
to identify short and long-term collaborative and individual opportunities for each department located in
the five cities of St. Joseph, Waite Park, Sartell, Sauk Rapids, and St. Augusta. Loso recommended this
study be completed prior to the purchase of a pumper/tanker truck. A meeting between the five area city
administrators and fire chiefs is planned to be held within the next month.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council reviewed the request to purchase the
pumper/tanker combination at their city council meeting on August 16, 2021 where they directed staff to
bring back information on how often the pumper and tanker trucks are used, how often the pumper and
tanker break down, and what is the coverage area to be served by the pumper/tanker truck. The city
council then met in a work session on August 24, 2021 and discussed this information and requested the
Fire Chief present the purchase request at a City Council meeting.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Fire Board recommended accepting a quote from Rosenbauer
(formerly General Safety Fire) not to exceed $800,000 for a second pumper/tanker truck versus replacing
the ladder truck as was scheduled in 2021. The ladder truck capital budget reserve of $100,000 would be
reallocated to the new pumper. The ladder truck is able to meet the current needs in the fire district and is
in working order. With mutual aid, the service area is met with the ladder truck. As the service area
grows and the heights of buildings change, a new ladder may be needed.
The second pumper/tanker was recommended after review of the 2019 Insurance Services Office, Inc.
(ISO’s) Public Protection Classification Program (PPC) Summary Report. St. Joseph’s ISO rating is five
and is an analysis of St. Joseph’s fire suppression capabilities. Many insurers use an ISO rating to decide
what coverages to offer and/or prices to charge for residential or commercial property insurance. One of
the metrics is looking at water supply and the flow when a hydrant is not available. Our current pumper
can bring 1,000 gallons and the current tanker can bring 3,000 gallons of water to the scene, and we can
pump 1,250 gallons a minute, which would mean we could be out of water in just over three minutes.
With adding a new pumper/tanker, the flow could double if used as a pumper when hydrants are available
or if used as a tanker, we would bring an additional 3,000 gallons of water to a scene which is almost
double of what we currently bring. Currently, with the equipment we have we can only haul 25 members
out of a possible 30-member roster so by adding this truck it will also allow us to safely haul all the
members to emergency calls and drills without using personal vehicles. Mutual aid is available, but it
generally takes 30 minutes for aid to be on scene, which could result in complete loss of structures. In
addition, the cold MN winters tend to freeze up water lines on the trucks. Having the second truck will
provide more surety the firefighters can adequately respond to a fire.
Below is a summary of the current fire fleet with the budgeted replacement year in the 5-year capital plan.
The ladder truck replacement was pushed back five years and the new truck would have a useful life of 20
years. The tanker was rehabilitated a couple years ago to extend the life of the truck. The grass rig had a
major repair to replace the rear end a couple years ago and is due to replace. The City approved applying
for a FEMA 80/20 grant to help offset the cost to replace. This is the third FEMA application. If denied,
reserves may be needed to replace in 2022.

Council Agenda Item
MEETING DATE:September 7, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: 2022 Preliminary Budget/Levy
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The EDA, and Fire Board
submitted their budget proposals and are included in the preliminary city budget.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Councilmembers were given the opportunity to discuss their budget
priorities at regular meetings and workshops since February. Updates were added to the agenda as
recommendations were received.
th
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The draft budget presented to the city council at the August 24
council workshop. The budgeted reflected a tax rate increase of 4.5%. The taxable market value is
estimated to increase 4.8% (per Stearns County Assessor) and the annexed commercial/industrial
properties are paying 6.59% higher in the tax rate per the OAA agreement. The estimated effect on an
urban $150,000 home is a tax increase of $59.97 (before any adjustments in the home owners taxable
market value).
To reiterate previous budget discussions, the following items impacted the 2022 budget:
Staffing Changes:
Add full time police clerk (hired fall 2021)
Add full time mechanic (hire in July 2022)
Add planning intern back into the budget summer 2022
Operations:
Union contracts: LELS and AFSCME contracts are settled through 12/31/22. The third-year
contract agreed to a 2% general wage increase.
Professional services: based on historical costs, anticipated projects and notification of fee
increases, the professional services budget increased.
Membership Dues/Community Support reviewed by city council. One membership due request
was left off the last summary. The Coalition of Greater MN Cities (CGMC) requests
participation in the Environmental Action Fund at a participation amount of $1,836. The city
council declined participation in the past. This amount is currently not included in the general
levy. See the attached dues request

Partnership Agreement
St. Cloud Area Family Y and City of St. Joseph
Background: The City of St. Joseph (City) and St. Cloud Area Family YMCA (SCAFY) will partner to
provide a community center/YMCA for the Greater St. Joseph Area. The goal of this partnership is to
provide a multigenerational facility for all community members to access for recreation and potential of
aquatics, health living, youth development, social responsibility and social capital for all.
This memorandum outlines a model of financial contribution, ownership of assets,
management/operations, design and construction, and future capital improvements for the building
between the City and SCAFY. The partnership initiated herein will build a community asset and establish
a financially stable model for programming and operations. A final agreement, to be developed before
construction is commenced, will give details to this memorandum of understanding.
Capital Dollars: The City will provide funding from the voter approved local option sales tax towards
construction of the building and private fundraising for other necessary improvements.
The SCAFY will obtain capital dollars for FFE.
Land and Building Lease: The City will remain owners of the land and lease to the SCAFY for a 20-year
term with an automatic 20 year extension at $1 per year. The SCAFY will have the first option to renew
following the second term. The City will provide footprint space for future expansion of the facility to
serve the community as determined by the parties.
Building Ownership: The building will be owned by the City. As owner of the building, the City will be
responsible for the maintenance of the exterior facility, upkeep of the grounds including landscape and
parking lot maintenance, repair and replacement. The City will be responsible for water/sewer
expenses as long as proper conservation methods are in place. In addition, the City will be responsible
for major capital repairs related to the building’s structure/mechanicals/aquatic mechanics.
SCAFY will be responsible for all regular and routine maintenance (i.e., cleaning; replacement of
consumable materials such as lights, batteries, filters; and basic repairs and maintenance) and will keep
the building in good repair and clean and presentable. All capital replacements (i.e., fitness equipment,
youth play equipment) inside the facility (excluding structural/mechanical/aquatic mechanics) will be
the responsibility of the SCAFY.
The City will provide capital improvements or repairs over the term of the first two terms of the lease as
necessary to keep the building in good repair and accommodate the original intent of the building.
Over time, it is expected that the SCAFY will create a capital reserve to be used for an expansion of the
building. The City, at an appropriate time, will consider funding an expansion using local option sales tax
as the source of capital funds.
Management/Operations: The SCAFY will be responsible for all management/operations of the facility
with annual operation financial contribution to ensure annual profitability to reinvest into the
community. The City will provide financial contributions as determined by the City Council in its sole
discretion to help attain profitable operations. The SCAFY will be responsible for employing and
managing all staff necessary to conduct the operations of the community center and shall obtain and
maintain worker’s compensation coverage as required by law and employer’s liability coverage in an
1
amount acceptable to the City. The SCAFY shall be responsible for any claims brought by its employees
or arising out of the negligence or intentional acts of its employees shall defend and indemnify the City
from such claims. The City will insure the building against damage or destruction in an amount sufficient
to replace the building. The City shall obtain and maintain general liability insurance covering the
premises and shall name SCAFY as an additional insured on this policy. The SCAFY will obtain and
maintain general liability insurance covering its operations on the premises and shall name the City as
an additional insured on this policy.

community needs assessments and successful operations as a guide in decision making. The City and
the SCAFY will jointly prepare the plans and specifications for the building. The City Council and the
SCAFY Board of Directors will jointly have the authority to approve the preliminary design, the final
design, and the project budget.
Building Construction: The City and SCAFY Board and staff will take on the oversight/lead role in
overseeing the construction of the building in compliance with applicable laws. Substantial deviation
from the final design or project budget will require approval from the City and SCAFY Board approval.
The City will be provided complete access to the process and records for the purposes of oversight.
Naming rights: The YMCA and the City of St. Joseph will be the primary names on the building (within
national Y standards) with other naming opportunities available within the building.
Partnerships: The SCAFY will be allowed to create partnerships with other non-profits, schools, public
entities, and private businesses for programs, services, or sublease opportunities that align with the
mission of the SCAFY and the vision of the building’s use identified by the SCAFY Board and the City.

CouncilAgenda Item 11
MEETING DATE:September7, 2021
AGENDA ITEM: Parklet
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development
STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council declare the pilot parklet as surplus
property and requests input and direction from the City Council on future parklets.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: In 2020, the City Council approved the pilot parklet for the 2021
season. On August 16, 2021, the City Council directed staff to remove of the parklet just before Labor
Day.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:The pilot parklet was a CSB/SJU student project lead by Matt
Lindstrom and funded by the Statewide Health Improvement Program (SHIP) through Stearns County
Public Health and the Eugene McCarthy Center for Public Policy and Civic Engagement. The parklet,
installed from late April 2021 to September 3, 2021, was donated to the City by CSB/SJU.
To help evaluate the parklet, staff reached out to several businesses in early summer, which was presented
to the City Council in June (shown in exhibit B). Both positive and negative comments were voiced by
businesses. The St. Joseph Convention and Visitor’s Bureau (CVB) has expressed support for parklets.
They see them as fun, engaging ways to help encourage folks to socialize, and visit our city. However,
design and placement are key.
th
An online survey was launched on August 12to gain further input on the pilot parklet. Full survey
responses as of 09/01/21 are attached in Exhibit A.
Highlights of the survey include:
230 total responses as of 09/01/21
74% of respondents live within 5 miles of parklet
59% of respondents stated they did not use the parklet
40% of respondents stated they would definitely use the parklet next summer
41% of respondents stated they would definitely not use the parklet next summer
8% stated they would maybe use it
6% stated they would maybe not use it
54% of respondents think the city should set up a permitting process to allow businesses to have
parklets provided they meet safety/design standards (36% do not support, and 10% are
unsure)
78% of respondents preferred either one of these two parklet images:
Public Works Director Ryan Wensmann has inspected the parklet and recommends discontinuing since
construction appears to not meet safety requirements. The League of MN Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT)
does not exclude any liability exposures the City has, but if St. Joseph would continue the parklet, loss
control would do an inspection to make sure it is safe.
In evaluating future applicability of parklets staff recommends conducting additional research and
obtaining input from:
Planning Commission
Economic Development Board
CVB (full Board input)
When weighing how to determine future applicability of parklets some preliminary ideas could include:
Conduct another parklet pilot. Choose a different location and team up with a group like the CVB
to create a different parklet design option. Run the pilot next summer, and get a business to
support the parklet in front of their establishment
Allow businesses to have a parklet via a permit process. Requirements of a permit could be
Council approval, limitation on quantity, design standards, etc
Do not allow any further parklets
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: None
ATTACHMENTS: Exhibit A – Survey Results
Exhibit B – Business comments
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Declare parklet surplus property to be disposed of. Provide
further input and direction on future parklets. Consider obtaining input from the Planning Commission,
CVB, and Economic Development Authority (EDA).

It's in a weird location. Not sure if it's part of the Local Blend or not. No real reason why it's located
there
Only if it has a roof for shade. It's a waste of 2 parking spaces otherwise. I hardly ever saw it being
used, and I don't want to sit in the sun.

Mr. Ryan Wensmann
Public Works Director
City of St. Joseph

St. Joseph, Minnesota 56374
Dear Mr. Wensmann:
®
Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH) is pleased to submit our proposal for Wellhead Protection Plan
(WHPP) Amendment Services for the City of St. Joseph (City). These services are designed to meet
Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) requirements for the amendment of your existing plan, while
providing the City of Saint Joseph with a tool to manage your groundwater resources. We have prepared
this Letter Proposal to present our project approach as well as describe the work tasks, cost estimate,
and proposed schedule to complete the WHPP Amendment. Services for the project would occur over an
approximate two (2) year period.
BACKGROUND
It is our understand that the MDH contacted the City in a letter dated February 24, 2021, notifying you to
begin the process of reviewing and amending your existing WHPP (SEH, July 2013) by October 28, 2021.
In addition, Katie Breth with the Minnesota Rural Water Association (MRWA) reached out via email on
July 2, 2021, indicating that they would be assisting the MDH and the City with the evaluation and
preparation of the WHPP Amendment. The initial step in the WHPP process is to attend the MDH
Scoping Meeting, where the MDH hydrologist (John Woodside) will establish the required information to
complete groundwater model development. Once the Scoping Meeting is held, the MDH will issue a
Scoping Decision No. 1 letter that officially begins the update and WHPP amendment process.
The WHPP is part of the Federal Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA), originally enacted in 1974 with the
requirement for states to develop WHPPs implemented in the late 1980s. Since then, the MDH has
developed an interactive program to assist municipalities with the protection of their drinking water
sources by completing an initial WHPP and amending the plan every ten years. Since the City completed
your previous WHPP in 2013, amendment of the WHPP is now being initiated in October 2021, two years
before implementation of the next new plan.

PROJECT APPOACH
In accordance with Minnesota Rules 4720, the WHPP is generally completed in two parts that will be
conducted over an approximate two (2) year period as follows:
Part I: Delineation of the Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA), Drinking Water Supply Management
Area (DWSMA) and Vulnerability Assessments.
Part II: Potential Contaminant Source Inventory (PCSI), Goals, and Management Strategy.
Details associated with the Part I and Part II tasks are described in the Scope of Services below. In
addition to the Part I and Part II, several formal and informal meetings are planned throughout the course
of the project with the City, MDH, and MRWA as part of pre-evaluation efforts, scoping meetings, and
discussions on results and management strategies. Public informational meetings and public hearings are
also required in the preparation and approval of the WHPP. Tasks associated with meetings and hearings
are included as part of the Project Management task described in the Work Tasks below.
Throughout the two (2) year process, the MDH will identify specific requirements for the City of St. Joseph
to be addressed in the WHPP. Because not all the requirements can be identified at this point, our
approach is to include a scope of services that provides for potential contingencies based on our prior
experience in preparing WHPPs and our knowledge of the groundwater conditions in the vicinity of St.
Joseph. Implementation of the tasks will ultimately be based on MDH requirements; if the MDH does not
require a certain task, those costs would not be incurred. This project approach allows flexibility in
meeting the needs of the project as it develops over the multi-year planning process.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
As described above, the project has been broken into three (3) primary tasks as follows: Project
Management, Part I, and Part II. Services included under each task are described in the following
Project Management tasks will include project coordination, correspondence, meetings, and public
hearings associated with the project. Throughout the project, the Project Manager will coordinate the
following:
Communication of project directives with project team members.
Preparation of internal work plans, identify tasks, assign staff, and establish schedules, deadlines,
and budgets.
Assigning internal quality control reviews for assurance of project completeness.
Review of monthly invoices and preparation of status reports of project progress, as necessary.
In addition, assigned staff will prepare and participate in project meetings with City, MDH, and/or MRWA
representatives including, but not limited to, the following:
Pre-evaluation meetings
Scoping Meetings No.1 and No. 2
Pre-delineation meetings
Public informational meetings
Potential Contamination Source Inventory (PCSI) Review
Draft Management Plan Review Meeting
Public hearings
Meetings with the City will be necessary on an occasional basis (up to 4 times per year) while the project
is active. These meetings can either take place at the city offices or held virtually and will serve as
progress reports on the technical activities.
Mr. Ryan Wensmann
August 17, 2021

Official public notifications to Local Units of Government (LUGs) will be required several times during the
WHPP process. SEH will assist with correspondence and public postings as necessary at the beginning
of the project, at the completion of the Part I, prior to the public notice of the Part II, and, once approval is
received from the MDH, prior to the initiation of the new WHPP. Miscellaneous correspondence regarding
the project is also included as part of the Project Management. Correspondence associated with data
collection efforts will be included in the Part I and II tasks, as applicable.
As indicated in an email from the MDH dated July 1, 2021, the first step in the WHPP process is to hold a
Scoping No. 1 Meeting with the MDH and MRWA to discuss requirements for completing the Part I of the
plan. Participation in that meeting is included under Task 1. Following the meeting, the MDH will issue a
Scoping Decision Notice No. 1 letter formally listing all the required elements and tasks to be completed
as part of the Part I WHPP Amendment. SEH will complete all work tasks provided in the MDH Scoping
Decision Notice to obtain an approved Part I WHPP Amendment. SEH have identified the following tasks
listed below based on previous MDH scoping notices, MDH guidance, policy information, our experience,
and the existing WHPP (SEH, 2013).
1.0 Data Collection and Assembly
Existing technical information must be collected and assembled for presentation as follows:
1.1 Physical Environment (MR 4720.5400, subp. 2): Assemble new and existing data as
identified the Scoping Decision notice prepared by the MDH for the following:
1.1.1 Precipitation
1.1.2 Geology
1.1.3 Soils
1.1.4 Water Resources
1.2 Land Use (MR 4720.5400, subp. 3): Assemble new and existing data as identified in the
Scoping Decision notice prepared by the MDH for the following:
1.2.1 Land Use
1.2.2 Public Utility Services
1.3 Water Quantity (MR 4720.5400, subp. 4): Compile new and existing data as identified in the
Scoping Decision notice prepared by the MDH for the following:
1.3.1 Surface Water Quantity
1.3.2 Groundwater Quantity
1.4 Water Quality (MR 4720.5400, subp. 5): Compile new and existing data as identified in the
Scoping Decision notice prepared by the MDH for the following:
1.4.1 Surface Water Quality
1.4.2 Groundwater Quality
Mr. Ryan Wensmann

2.0 Delineate Wellhead Protection Area (WHPA)/Drinking Water Source Protection Area (DWSMA)
2.1 Method Scoping (MR 4720.5510): Assess available geologic and hydrogeologic data
regarding any changes to aquifer conditions including: time of travel, flow boundaries,
volume, groundwater flow field, aquifer transmissivity, pumping wells, pumping rates, well
capture zones, and surface water features.
2.2 Pre-Delineation Meeting: Prepare for a meeting with MDH and City to discuss delineation
criteria, conceptual model, and WHPA delineation method. Participation in meeting will be
completed as part of Task 1.
2.3 Delineation of the WHPA: Delineation must define WHPA boundaries for each well for: 1)
Groundwater time-of-travel of one, ten-, and twenty-years maps, and 2) Surface water
drainage map that may recharge the unconfined aquifer (conjunctive delineation). Steps in
the delineation are provided below.
2.3.1 Conceptual Model Update: U
groundwater model including preparation and approval of the Determination of Aquifer
Properties/Aquifer Test Plan (DAP/ATP) Form provided by the MDH to confirm and/or define
aquifer properties for groundwater model.
2.3.2a Existing Groundwater Model Update (Scoping Decision Notice No. 1 amendment will likely
require an update to the 2013 groundwater model): Update WHPA delineation via the existing
groundwater model established in multi-layer analytical element model (MLAEM), analytical
solution software (SEH, 2013) to satisfy pre-delineation meeting criteria to account for new
geologic information, pumping rates, or other conceptual model updates identified.
address any significant aquifer usage changes, updated software, or changes in MDH policy.
2.4 Delineate surface water recharge contribution area (Conjunctive Delineation)
2.5 Delineate the Drinking Water Supply Management Area (DWSMA): Completion of this task
will use boundary definitions contained in MR 4720.5100, subp.13.
3.0 Conduct Vulnerability Assessment
3.1 Vulnerability Assessment (MR 4720.5210): Conducted for each of the wells and aquifer in the

4.2 Final Part I WHPP Submittal: Any comments received on the Draft Part I WHPP from the City
or MDH will be incorporated into a Final Part I WHPP. Three hard copies and an electronic
copy of the Part I WHPP will be required for the MDH.
4.3 Additional Project Work Products
4.3.1 Model Input Sets
4.3.2 Supporting Data Files: Project-specific data files must be presented digitally, preferably
in an ARCVIEW or ARC/INFO format with model input in the form of: polygons; lines;
and point data. Metadata annotation must accompany these files for the following:
Description of feature being documented (e.g., stream location and elevation, bedrock
elevation); data source (e.g., USGS quad sheets, MGS bedrock geology GIS cover);
date of the source(s), and areas where the model input differs from referenced
source(s).
4.3.3 Wellhead Protection Area Delineations: The one, ten, and twenty-year time-of-travel
WHPA delineations must be delivered to meet a minimum of 20 streamline traces
(using x, y, z, time, line id, and well unique number data attributes) in an ASCII or an
ARCVIEW/ ARC/INFO compatible electronic file-format. Geographic coordinates for the
city well(s) must be those provided by the MDH.
5.0 Public Informational Meeting
Once the Part I is approved by the MDH, a public informational meeting must be held. Participation in the
public informational meeting will be provided as part of Task 1.
Similar to the initial steps of the Part I, the first step in the development of the Part II WHPP Amendment
process is to hold a Scoping No. 2 Meeting with the MDH and MRWA to discuss requirements for
completing the Part II of the plan. Participation in that meeting is included under Task 1. Following the
meeting, the MDH will issue a Scoping Decision Notice No. 2 letter formally listing all the required
elements and tasks to be completed as part of the Part II WHPP Amendment. SEH will complete all work
tasks provided in the MDH Scoping Decision Notice to obtain an approved Part II WHPP Amendment.
SEH has identified the following tasks listed below based off previous MDH scoping notices, MDH
guidance, policy information, our experience, and the existing WHPP (SEH, 2013).
The Part II WHPP Amendment will include development or update of the Potential Contaminant Source
Inventory (PCSI) as well as the management strategies to protect the aquifer for the delineated WHPA
established in the Part I WHPP Amendment. Although substantial efforts were made regarding the PCSI
in the current WHPP, the existing information does not address any changes to the DWSMA. Data
elements will include both non-point source elements as well as point source data elements. Given the
updated DWSMA will continue to have varying levels of
sources will include:
Low vulnerability areas: Identify/locating any groundwater wells or Class V injection wells.
Moderate vulnerability areas: Identify/locate low vulnerable sources and registered storage tanks.
High vulnerability areas: Identify/locate low and moderate vulnerable sources as well as all other
potential sources of contamination (septic systems, feedlots, gravel mines, hazardous waste
generators, etc.).

Class V Wells, Toxic Release Inventory (TRI), and Emergency Response Sites;
National Land Cover (NLC) dataset; National Agriculture Statistical Services.
- State Data Sources: Minnesota Pollution
ll Index, MPCA Incidents Report (Spills Database)
- Local County and City data sources (from all communities in the DWSMA): septic
systems and feedlots, storm and sanitary systems, oil and gas pipelines,
1.1.2 Obtain local County and City current and future land use, zoning, and planning data.
1.2 Map of oil and gas pipelines.
1.3 Maps of sewer systems (both storm and sanitary).
1.4 (Contingency Task) Create Digital Records: Data sources that are not available digitally, such
as Individual Septic Tank System (ISTS) will be researched and incorporated into a digital
database for inclusion into maps and figures.
2.0 Potential Contaminant Source Inventory (PCSI)
To prepare PCSI for MDH endorsement, compile and format data to meet the requirements outlined in
the Scoping Decision Notice No. 2 including the following:
2.1 Figures (illustration of the PCSI and Land Use results): DWSMA/WHPA, DWSMA
Vulnerability, Political Boundaries and Transportation Corridors, Transportation Routes,
Zoning, City Land Use, Future Land use, Water Resources, Utilities, PCSI Wells, PCSI
MPCA Listings
2.2 Tables (tabulated data of the PCSI and Land Use results): PCSI Data, Water Supply Wells
Included in WHPA, Water Supply Well Data, Land Cover within DWSMA (NLCD, 2011), Land
Use/Zoning within DWSMA, Future Zoning / Future Land Use within DWSMA, Other
Permitted High-Capacity Wells within 2 Miles of Water Supply Wells, Potential Contamination
Sources and Assigned Risk for the IWMZ, Potential Point Contamination Source Type and
Assigned Risk, Expected Land and Water Use Changes
2.3 Electronic PCSI Submittals for MDH Endorsement.
3.0 Development of Management Plan
The management plan identifies changes to the water supply system, changes to area land use,
problems and opportunities in managing contamination source, and outlines goals and objectives to
mitigating contamination risks. An action plan is developed to meet these goals and objectives, identifying
tasks to implement following the MDH approval of the plan. The management plan will need to be written
in a manner to ensure that the implementation tasks are both effective and feasible, given the available
staffing and resources. Tasks include:
3.1 Existing management strategies: Reviewed existing plan in reference to the next 10-years of
implementation as follows:
3.1.1 Identify items that can be retained
3.1.2 Identify items that must be changed to address modified conditions
3.1.3 Identify items that are new to replace management those that no longer apply.
3.1.4 Identify further opportunities to obtain grant funding from the MDH to implement
portions of the plan.

evaluate the effectiveness of the selected WHP measures (MR 4720.5270).
3.2.5 Contingency Strategy for an Alternate Water Supply: Incorporate a contingency
strategy to address the disruption of the water supply due to mechanical failure or
contamination (MR 4720.5280). Water Supply Plans that have been approved by the
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will be considered equivalent to an
approved WHP contingency plan.
4.0 Reporting/Deliverables
The Part II WHPP Amendment is the document that summarizes the all data elements established in the
Scoping Decision Notice No. 2, the results of the PCSI, and the updated management plan. Results of
the PCSI will be mapped both on printouts and as GIS-compatible shape files. Steps to complete the final
Part II WHPP Amendment are as follows:
4.1 First Draft Part II WHPP: Provide a Draft Part II WHPP to City, MDH, and/or MRWA and
incorporate comments into a final Draft Part II WHPP.
4.2 Notification: Notify all LUGs that Draft Part II WHPP is going on public notice. SEH will assist
with correspondence as part of Task 1.

September 2, 2021 RE: City of St. Joseph, Minnesota
St. Joseph Catholic School Speed Study
SEH No. STJOE P-162936 14.00
Ms. Therese Haffner
City Administrator
City of St. Joseph
75 Callaway Street East
St. Joseph, MN 56374
Dear Ms. Haffner:
SEH appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal for providing engineering services for a school zone
speed study on Minnesota Street, adjacent to St. Joseph Catholic School. This letter serves as our understanding
of the project scope, schedule, and fee estimate.
PROJECT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The City has received concerns from members of the St. Joseph Catholic School community regarding the existing
safety and vehicular speed along this corridor, and that yielding compliance may be low for the pedestrian/student
activity crossing Minnesota Street. These concerns are most prominent during parent drop-off and pick-up times.
Minnesota Street bisects the downtown area and has a posted speed limit of 30 MPH. The street currently does
not have a signed School Zone or reduced School Speed Zone. Pedestrian crossing signs exist near the St.
at the marked crosswalk near the elementary school.
SCOPE OF WORK
The City of St. Joseph requested this proposal to review the project area and aid in collecting traffic data such as
speed and volume, establishing a school zone limit, providing options for signing a reduced school speed zone,
and recommending potential traffic calming devices for the area closest to the elementary school. The proposed
scope of work is summarized below.
Task 1: Project Management and Meetings ($800)
1-hour recommendation summary discussion with City staff.
General project management tasks, including routine communication with City staff.
Task 2: Data Collection and Observations ($2,700)
All data will be collected on a weekday (Tues-Thurs) when school is in session and on a regular school.
Using a radar device, 48 hours of speed and daily volume data will be collected at up to four (4) locations near
the school on Minnesota Street. Locations will be determined with City staff.
st
One (1) traffic camera to be set at Minnesota St & 1 Ave. Locations will be determined with City staff. Vehicle
volume and pedestrian/bicycle data will be processed for a total of 12 hours, capturing the AM drop-off and PM
pick-up activity.
Video observations at the intersection will be documented, including observed operating issues, driver
behavior, safety concerns, pedestrian crossing activity, mode conflicts, yielding behavior, etc.
