Public Comments:
Nick Blonigen, 821 Morningside Loop: He has lived in the neighborhood for the past five years. Blonigen
noted two major water issues in the Morningside Acres Development. The source of the water issues is
the drainage easement that runs through Morningside Acres from Hillstreet neighborhood. This collects
water from a large swath of areas including the Hill Street neighborhood. The storm runoff is funneled into
a small area just east of 3rd Avenue Southwest and then runs down 200 feet of unmaintained drainage
easement; that includes mature trees and brush. Then it goes into 60 feet of maintained drainage
easement made up of crushed granite. Finally, it goes to two storm drains and one single pipe that
services all of that storm runoff from above Morningside Acres and connects to the rest of the storm
drains for the streets below.
According to Blonigen, both the maintained portion of the easement and the unmaintained portions of the
drainage easement have failed. This has caused major flooding issues in the Morningside Acres
neighborhood and are putting homes and basements at risk of flooding. Approximately 1 and a half years
ago a major storm had caused a washout event - a new driveway deposited dirt and debris into the
drainage easement. This event rerouted water in the easement to areas that were full of debris, leaves
trees, etc. This resulted in water flowing where it shouldn’t and debris from the neighborhood above
collecting in the easement and eroding the soil. The result was inches of mud collecting in rocks-
preventing water from flowing through the rocks – instead of over it. This destroyed the landscape fabric,
eroded the soil in the area and resulted in the collection bowl sinking several inches below the actual
collection drain inlets. It deposited mud up to six inches in places in his yard, which he had to clean up. It
also permanently damaged the drainage easement and resulted in major flooding events after each
heavy rainfall after that event. The City was contacted immediately after the first washout event – no
action has been taken. At this point, property owners have run out of options to fix the failed drainage
easement. He urges the City to investigate the problem, develop a plan to fix the issue and prevent this
from happening. He would like further discussion on the specific concerns the neighborhood has.
Emily Grote, 823 Morningside Loop: Ms. Grote stated that she and her husband purchased this home in
April 2021. Grote discussed the retaining wall that runs between the homes at 823, 825 and 827
Morningside Loop. Her property is at the end of this retaining wall and the water rushes like a water fall.
The water has nowhere to go due to improper drainage at the base of the retaining wall. This backs up
into her foundation and yard causing the sump pump to run every 20 to 30 seconds. They have visible
cracking in the foundation from water buildup in the problem areas. The volume of water coming off of the
retaining wall also impacts the storm drain that Nicholas Blonigen discussed. When the storm drain backs
up and the waterfall continues to spill over, the water from them both meet in the middle of her yard. This
causes an immense amount of water to come up under the patio and run to the deck door. They have
spent a large amount of money to addressing sediment, a sinking patio, collapsed concrete and regrading
around their home. Grote is asking the City to address the large amount of water coming off of the
retaining wall. She would like the City to research why this is occurring and where the water is coming
from. She suggested that it is coming from Hill Street due to their lack of drainage. She wants the City to
work to divert it to other places and investigate proper drainage around the retaining wall to mitigate
flooding. They would like to work with the City to create a more positive and safe living experience. She
and her husband have lived in St. Joseph for six years and love the community and want to stay in their
home.

Michael Murphy, 136 9th Ave SE: President of the Cloverdale Townhome Association and a member of
the St. Joseph Historical Society. He wanted to ask three questions of the Council.
1. Can solar panels be put on the roofs of their townhouses?
2. Is there a building that the St. Joseph Historical Society can use for meetings, etc.?
3. Their neighborhood has a problem with squirrels. Is it legal to shoot a pellet gun in the City of St.
Joseph?

Public Hearing, Proposed Property Tax Abatement – Community Center Bonds: Finance Director, Lori
Bartlett explained that the abatement is for the issuance of the community center bonds. Staff has been
working with Tammy Omdal, Northland Securities, and Mary Ippel, Taft Attorneys, on financing the
community center. Part of the process to issue GO Tax Abatement bonds is to conduct a public hearing
with the parcels identified. Staff intends to issue the bonds in two parts; one part with 2022A street
improvement bonds for the $6 million local option sales tax portion, and one part in later 2023 when the
capital campaign and final project design costs are known. The GO Tax Abatement bonds hearing
proposed will cover both bond issues versus expending costs for two separate hearings. The GO Tax
Abatement bonds can go up to $13 million per voter authority, so the hearing will cover up to $13 million.
Schultz opened the public hearing.
As no one wished to speak, Schultz closed the public hearing.
Loso moved to Approve Resolution 2022-036 Approving Property Tax Abatements; seconded by
Kluesner.

Engineer Reports:
a. Morningside Acres Drainage Study: City Engineer Randy Sabart reviewed a proposal for a drainage
study and topographic survey in the Morningside Acres neighborhood for Lots 5-8, Block 1. This would
review potential for flood mitigation corrections in the area and address many of the issues that the
residents made in the public comments section of the Council meeting.
This study is the first step in addressing the public interest in the drainage. Sabart noted the time
sensitivity and would do his best to accelerate it’s completion.
Loso moved to Approve the Professional Services Contract between the City and SEH for the 2022
Morningside Acres Drainage Study; seconded by Kluesner and passed unanimously.
b. MnDOT Master Partnership Contract: Sabart provided an overview of the MnDOT Master Partnership
Contract. Every several years, MnDOT re-executes this agreement with State-Aid cities. It’s most
commonly referenced on our State-Aid Construction contracts where MnDOT verification material testing
is required. This agreement, though it has other “partnership” potentials (particularly in emergency
events), is necessary in order for the State to perform the required lab testing and to invoice the City.
Loso moved to Approve Resolution 2022-037 executing the Master Partnership Contract with
MnDOT; seconded by Beniek and passed unanimously.
Mayor Reports:
• Schultz applauded the work of the Police Department, Public Works and Staff that helped make
Joetown Rocks a success.
• It was shared that the Coalition of Greater Minnesota Cities Summer Conference in 2023 will be
held in Thief River Falls.
Adjourn: Beniek made a motion to adjourn at 7:02PM; seconded by Kluesner and passed

Council Agenda Item 4d
______
MEETING DATE: July 18, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: 2nd Quarter & June 2022 Financial Reports
SUBMITTED BY: Finance
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council adopted the 2022 budget on December 6, 2021.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Quarterly and monthly reconciled cash/investment and budget to
actual position are provided for Council review. The numbers presented are the cash balances as of June
30, 2022.
CASH POSITION:
- The market rate of return (ROR) is approximately 1.77% with an average maturity of 39 months.
The City tiers the maturity dates within the boundaries of the Investment Policy. The tiered
maturity dates have helped the City maintain a higher rate of return than the current market over
time. In addition, one of the goals is to invest locally. The City’s more immediate cash flow
needs are held at local financial institutions and the State money market fund (PMA 4M). Our
local financial institutions are paying 0.75% and 0.55% on money market accounts. The City is
placing funds holds cash in the local money market accounts for readily available cash flow if
needed. In July, both local banks agreed to increase the money market rates to 1% and 0.8%,
respectively. This is closer to the brokered money market rates.
- In June 2022, the Federal Open Market Committee [FOMC] increased the targeted federal fund
rate to 1.5-1.75% and anticipates future increases. In addition, the FOMC plans to reduce the size
of the Federal Reserve’s balance sheet. As of the June meeting, the Committee strongly
committed to returning inflation to its 2% objective. In the first quarter job gains have been
robust, unemployment rate remained low. Inflation remains elevated, reflecting supply and
demand imbalances related to the pandemic, higher energy prices, and broader price pressures.
The invasion of Ukraine is causing human and economic hardship. Also creating upward pressure
and weighing on the global economy. The FOMC is assessing the appropriate stance on
monetary policy and will continue to monitor the implications of incoming information for the
economic outlook. The next FOMC meeting is scheduled July 26-27. As of the time of this
agenda summary, inflation was just announced to have increased to 9.1%. Markets are predicting
at least a 40% chance the FOMC will increase the targeted federal fund rate in July.
- Interest earnings for 2022 amounts to $63,732 and a reduction in market value of $516,517. The
City’s policy is to hold investments until maturity. GASB 72 requires the City to mark
investments at the current market value as of the close of each month. In doing so, earnings will
show fluctuations. The investment holdings will produce earnings; however, it is unknown what
the market valuation adjustment impact will be on the City’s portfolio. The City of St. Joseph is
not alone in the decrease in market valuations. The area cities have all reported market value
downturn adjustments. With long-term rates trending higher and FOMC pushing up the federal
fund rate, current investment valuations will show lower values. There is no gain or loss on the
investments until they are actually sold. The market fluctuation reported is merely following
GASB 72’s requirement to mark values at the current market value.
- Overall, the cash and investments balance decreased $752,163 from the beginning of the year.
There remain some bond proceeds from the 2020 -2022 projects that will complete in 2022. The
2021 street project started back up in the spring. Some payments have been drawn on this project.
The first part of the tax/assessment settlement (70%) was received in June. The remaining 30%
was received on 7/1. The first have Local Government Aid will be received around 7/20. The
second half ARPA grant funds were received on 7/1. These July receipts will reflect in the 3rd
quarter reports. The first half bond interest payments were made in the second quarter.
FUNDS REPORT:
- The General fund spent 46% of the 2022 expenditure budget and received 25% of the revenue
budget. Other than these revenues and expenditures, the remaining are mainly operational in
nature. The largest expenditures were wages and benefits. The budget includes capital savings
on the five-year capital equipment plan. The expenditures may not be spent in 2022.
- The Enterprise Funds represents 4-month utility billing revenue collected while expenses
represent six months. Overall, 23% of expenses have been incurred (less depreciation); 27% of
the revenue budget has been received. Revenues and expenses are general in nature. The
budgeted expenses include future project and maintenance expenses. Funds are designated each
year to help offset the larger costs.
Water fund analysis (fund 601/501) – The enclosed spreadsheet shows an analysis of the water fund,
including the Water fund (601) and the Water Access fund (WAC-501). The City collected WAC fees
from 6 single-family homes, 7 Rivers Bend 4 townhomes, Bad Habit expansion and continued payments
from the Bayou Blues project for the first half of 2022. Water fund activity represents 15% expensed,
22% of the budget received at the end of June (excluding depreciation).
Sewer fund analysis (fund 602/502) – The enclosed spreadsheet shows an analysis of the sewer fund,
including the Sewer fund (602) and the Sewer Access fund (SAC-502). As with water, SAC proceeds
came from the same projects through June 2022. Sewer expenses are at 20% of the budget (excluding
depreciation), while revenues are at 30% of the budget.
½ ¢ Sales Tax (fund 200): The sales tax fund has a cash balance of $889,052 on June 30th. The City
budgeted collecting $470,000 in sales tax revenue in 2022. The first few months remittance were
received in July. The State sales tax revenue reports are missing data. St. Cloud is working with the State
to correct. In the meantime, St. Cloud is remitting sales taxes based on the 2021 allocation formula. The
July remittance totaled $164,387.80 for sales taxes through April 2022. The first $900K collected by the
St. Cloud Area goes to regionally agreed upon projects. Collections for each city started in Feb.
Current projects using local option sales tax funding are the bond payments towards Field Street ($50K
remains), $6M committed for community center, and $300K allocated to the East Park phase I project.
Other potential projects are completing phase 2 of the East Park development, pedestrian crossing along
CSAH 75, amphitheater and aquatics center. The City was awarded a grant from the State for the East
Park phase I project.
The Sales Tax Summary report shows all revenues recorded and projects expensed from Fund 200. The
projects are split to show the projects completed, the projects in progress, and the projects reviewed, but
not moved forward at this time. After the anticipated revenue collections through 2038, $4M remains
uncommitted. The available annual sales tax revenue after bonded commitments is $458,030.
Visitor’s Bureau: The CVB is very active and successfully marketing the City and providing
opportunities for people to visit St. Joseph. The City collects roughly $14,000 in lodging taxes annually.
The pandemic caused lower taxes collected. Lodging taxes have improved and closer to normal for 2022.
The EDA approved matching a State grant for CVB website updates. Recently, many of the CVB
businesses participated in the travel blogging event held in St. Cloud in June. Bloggers were able to take
a bus to visit St. Joseph businesses. The CVB has an unspent balance of $15,934.
CIP REPORTS:
- General capital equipment purchases include two laptops, squad to replace 702 including
necessary equipment upgrades to the squad (the City is accepting bids to sell the old 702), and
upgrade to emergency sirens. The police dept also purchased an ID maker to badge all city
employees.
- The Park Board incurred engineering costs for East Park planning.
- The Fire department purchased duty boots for a firefighter and replaced fire hoses. The fire hoses
were partially paid for with a DNR grant of $2,447. The fire dept ordered the new pumper/tanker
truck (expected Jan 2023) and the rescue van replacement (expected Oct 2022). The old rescue
van is currently on bid to sell.
- The Water fund spent funds on the WTP2 plate settler replacement project, and WTP1 & WTP2
VFD replacements. Work continues on the WTP1 chemical room. Updates being made with the
Wellhead Protection Plan and ongoing well maintenance continues. A utility locator was added
in 2022.

ARPA Grant/Fund 390:
Included in the quarter financial report is a summary of the Fund 390 and ARPA grant dollars. Fund 390
receives a portion of the LGA state aid (as budgeted) and residual debt service relief funds. Fund 390 is
used to fund projects not included in the general levy capital plans such as Klinefelter Park restrooms,
walking trail repairs, compensation and fire studies, Public Works building remodel and buyout of the last
police squad lease. The Fund 390 balance is $766,515 on June 30th.
Fund 104 is the fund where the ARPA grant dollars are being tracked. The June 30th balance was
$248,587. As stated earlier, the second half grant proceeds were received on 7/1 in the amount of
$401,666.86. This amount is not reflected in the current reports. The council agreed to the following
projects to be funded with ARPA grant dollars: main server replacement, finance software conversion,
fire rescue van, cellular meter read conversion and technology upgrades in city facilities.
Bonded Debt: Included in the financial report is the bonded debt summary through June 30th with the
anticipated 2022A bond issue. The 2022A bond issue is scheduled for August 1st. The orange highlights
are anticipated upcoming debt issues. The blue highlights represent debts that will be paid in full by the
end of the year. The St. Cloud debts are expected to decrease at the end of 2023 once Foley connects to
St. Cloud wastewater. Until the connection is made, no changes are made on the debts. The loan
documents for Foley are being finalized. Once bond proceeds are received this fall, St. Joseph will
receive a payment to purchase the wastewater treatment capacity. The first half interest payments were
made in May/June.

Council Agenda Item 5
MEETING DATE: July 18th, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Kennedy Community School Safe-Routes-To-School Plan
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development and Engineering
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
St. Cloud APO staff have drafted a Safe-Routes-To-School (SRTS) Plan with input from Stearns County,
Kennedy Community School, city staff, MnDOT, CentraCare and others. It should be noted that city staff
only attended one meeting for this plan with most of the plan already being drafted.
Intent of the plan is to identify deficiencies and safety improvements in order to increase and encourage a
safe walk and bike to school environment. To do this the SRTS Plan looked at 6 E’s which include:
• Equity – prioritizing positive outcomes for ALL students with higher focus on folks who face
disproportionate barriers to walking, biking, or rolling to school
• Engagement – working with students/parent/community on suggested improvements
• Engineering – provide equity-based changes to the built environment through community
engagement
• Education – provide students/community members with skills/knowledge about
walking/biking/rolling to school
• Encouragement – foster a culture of walking/biking/rolling through incentive
programs/events/activities
• Evaluation – measuring how the SRTS initiatives are implemented and what their impacts
The city (and County) are most heavily involved in the Engineering E since these items directly impact
street infrastructure and public right-of-way. This section can be found within pages 23-31 of the plan and
is the section staff would like Council input on.
Having an adopted SRTS plan can help increase the city’s or other project partners ability to obtain grants
for the various implementation strategies identified in the plan. The St. Cloud APO will be bringing the
Plan forth to the St. Cloud School Board for approval and adoption.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: The city does not have any costs tied to the drafting of the Plan. Eventual
implementation of the Engineering recommendations would have impact (TBD) through street
reconstruction and/or grant matches.

The Vision
Walking, biking, and rolling to school is safe, comfortable, and fun for all students at
Kennedy Community School.
THE 6 E’S
Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs rely on six core strategies, called the “Six Es”, to work towards their vision.
EQUITY – THE OVERARCHING E
Prioritizing positive outcomes for students from lower-income households; Black, Indigenous, and other students
of color; students with disabilities; and other students who face disproportionate barriers to walking, biking, and
rolling to school.
ENGAGEM ENT
Working with students, families, school staff, and community members and organizations, especially those from
priority Equity groups, to create and implement Safe Routes to School initiatives.
ENGINEERING
Developing Equity-focused changes to the built environment, designed and prioritized through community
Engagement.
EDUCATION
Providing students and other community members, especially those from priority Equity groups, with skills and
knowledge about walking, biking, and rolling.
ENCOURAGEMENT
Normalizing a culture of walking, biking, and rolling through incentive programs, events, and activities that center
priority Equity groups.
EVALUATION
Measuring how Safe Routes to School initiatives are implemented (process evaluation) and w hat their impacts are
(outcome evaluation), especially how initiatives Engage with and support priority Equity groups.

ORGANIZATION OF THIS REPORT
This report is designed to support and be accessible to multiple groups of people involved with Safe Routes to
School in Saint Joseph, including students, caregivers, teachers, school administrators, public works staff, elected
officials, and county and state employees. To help make the body of this report relevant to all readers—while also
documenting all of the participation, analysis, and deliberation that went into development of th e plan—some
content has been moved to the Appendices.

Equity in SRTS
Particular groups and communities in the U.S. have
disproportionate access to resources such as high -
quality jobs, schools, parks, healthcare, food, and bike
and pedestrian infrastructure. Meanwhile, other
groups of people have limited access to these
resources, negatively impacting their health and
wellbeing. These differences are not random—they
are the results of government policy in the past and
present, which has worked to the benefit of some and
to the disadvantage of others, often along race,
income, and gender lines. These group-based
differences are forms of inequity.
Equity in Safe Routes to School is impacted by
transportation system inequities—such as limited
access to high-quality walking and biking
infrastructure or the presence of highways in lower-
income and Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
(BIPOC) neighborhoods—as well as inequities in
related systems. For example, racial wealth inequities
and racial discrimination in housing mean that BIPOC
students may live further away from schools than their
white peers from higher-income families.
Safe Routes to School works to address these
inequities by prioritizing programs, infrastructure, and
policy improvements that help individuals and groups
with less access to resources, in particular those who
don’t have safe, convenient, and fun routes to school.
By looking at demographic data, examining existing
transportation services and policies, and speaking with
members of the community, the Saint Joseph Safe
Routes to School team worked to develop
recommendations that support equity in walking and
biking to school.

STUDENT DEMOGRAPHICS:
• Kennedy Community School’s enrolled
population of 688 students is spread across Pre-
Kindergarten through eighth grades. Figure 3
shows that the school attendance boundary
covers most of the City of Saint Joseph and
portions of the townships of Avon, Collegeville,
Saint Joseph, and Saint Wendel.
• As shown in Figure 4, populations identified as
BIPOC around the school range from 13.4% to
50.7%, according to the 2020 U.S. Decennial
Census. The school’s half-mile buffer is contained
in one block group with a BIPOC population of
13.4%. The block group south of I-94 has a lower
BIPOC population at 2%, while the block group
southeast of the school south of the Sauk River
has a BIPOC population of 50.7%.
• Approximately 9.4% of households immediately
surrounding Kennedy Community School are
considered low-income according to the U.S.
Census Bureau’s 2015-2019 ACS Five Year
Estimates, as shown in Figure 5. West of I-94 has
a low-income household poverty rate of 1.7%,
and south of the Sauk River sits at about 5%.
Almost half of the student population (42.6%) was
eligible for free or reduced-price meals.

Kennedy Hill Community School Community in Context
SITE CIRCULATION
Land Use: Low-density single-family homes are the
predominant land use within a half-mile buffer zone
around the Kennedy Community School. Existing
single-family residential areas exist north and east of
the school. However, a good section of land, as
shown in Figure 7, is currently undeveloped. The
homes located east of College Avenue S and south
of 290th Street are within Saint Joseph Township
boundaries. West of the school is the Woodcrest of
Country Manor assisted living facility and the
Woodcrest patio homes, a 55+ senior community.
Along the Sauk River, a planned park known as East
Park is to the south. The park could potentially
contain 95 acres and offer a variety of amenities.
Active Transportation Users: Sidewalk within the
school campus boundaries connects to an adjacent
facility along Jade Road. From there, the sidewalk
connects to a shared use path along College Avenue
S (Stearns County Road 121) where it continues
north and eventually turns into a sidewalk once the
facility enters Saint Joseph’s downtown area, as
shown in Figure 8.
School Buses: The bus loading zone is located on
the north side of the school for arrival and dismissal,
as shown in Figure 9. Parents pick up and drop off
students in two lanes on the west side of the school.
Vehicles: Major vehicular corridors around the
school include Jade Road immediately in front of the
school and College Avenue S to the north. While in
close proximity to the southern section of the school
campus, I-94 does not have a direct access to the
school.

Introduction to
Infrastructure
Physical changes to the streetscape are
essential to making walking, biking, and
rolling to school safer and more
comfortable
An in-person walking and biking audit helped to
inform specific recommendations to address the key
identified barriers to walking and bicycling in Saint
Joseph. Discussion with the Safe Routes to School
Team and conversations with school and district
staff, caregivers, students, community members,
and city and county staff led to additional
recommendations. Recommendations were
prioritized based on community and stakeholder
input, traffic and roadway conditions, proximity to
schools, and proximity to and use by equity priority
populations.
This plan does not represent a comprehensive list of
every project that could improve conditions for
walking and bicycling in the neighborhood. Instead,
it calls attention to key conflict points and potential
improvements. Recommendations range from
simple striping changes and signing to more
significant changes to the streets, intersections, and
school infrastructure.
Engineering recommendations are described on the
following pages. Recommendations are planning-
level concepts and will require additional study to
confirm feasibility and to finalize project
prioritization.

EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE
Surrounding Kennedy Community School is a variety
of active transportation facilities. A shared use path
is parallel to College Avenue S from just south of
Iverson Street W to Jade Road. There is also a shared
use path from Woodcrest of Country Manor assisted
living facility to College Avenue S. A sidewalk is
located along Jade Road from College Avenue S to
the southern school entrance. There are various
sidewalks leading to different entrances around the
school. The recent developments to the north and
east of the school do not have any active
transportation facilities present.
Pavement Condition
Shared use paths and sidewalks require regularly
scheduled maintenance to remain usable. Potential
maintenance includes, but is not limited to,
repainting, seal coating, crack sealing, resurfacing,
reconstruction, and vegetation removal. The Saint
Cloud Area Planning Organization hired The Parks &
Trails Council of Minnesota to measure pavement
condition shared use paths in 2020.
Figure 15 shows that most of the shared use paths
in this area are in smooth to very smooth condition,
with sections of College Avenue Sin fair condition.
There is no data for sidewalk conditions at this time.
Roadway Design
Active transportation facilities should be designed
with functional classification, average annual daily
traffic (AADT), speed limits, number of lanes, and
land use context in mind. These characteristics help
determine which active transportation facilities are
warranted and how they should be designed.
The functional classification system of roadways is
the process of grouping streets into classes based
on their characteristics and how they intend to
function. For example, College Avenue S is a
collector route linking to arterials such as Stearns
County Road 75 and I-94 and also joins local
roadways such as Jade Road.
Figure 12. Example of shared use path along College
Avenue S.
Figure 14. Example of shared use path along Lanigan
Way.
Figure 13. Example of sidewalk along Jade Road.
19 | Minnesota Safe Routes to School
Figure 15. Kennedy Community School – Pavement Condition
20 | Minnesota Safe Routes to School
AADT measures the total number of vehicles using a
roadway daily and can indicate a need for active
transportation facilities along roads. High AADTs can
create barriers for students crossing busy streets or
create unsafe on-road bicycling conditions. Based on
MnDOT's most recent count data from 2017, Figure
19 reveals that College Avenue S has an AADT range
from 2,100 south of Jade Road and 2,300 north of
Jade Road. Local roads such as Jade Road do not
have available count data.
College Avenue S has a posted speed limit of 40 mph
in the half of mile buffer. Jade Road in the school
zone has a posted speed limit of 25 mph when
children are present. Other local roadways have
speed limits of 30 mph.
A marked crosswalk can benefit pedestrians by
directing them to cross at locations where
appropriate traffic control exists, including traffic
signals or stop signs. Crosswalks do not slow traffic
or reduce pedestrian crashes, but they can alter
drivers' behaviors. There are four locations where
crosswalks exist within the half mile buffer around
Kennedy Community School, as shown in Figure 20.
The first crosswalk location is crossing Jade Road
parallel to College Avenue S and is a zebra crosswalk
design. There is a stop sign controlling access onto
College Avenue S and an advanced stop bar
accompanied by a pedestrian crossing sign. At the
intersection of College Avenue S and Lanigan Way
SE/SW, there are two standard crosswalks; each are
parallel lines. The traffic on College Avenue S is
unsignalized, while traffic onto College Avenue S has
stop signs to the north and south. The last
crosswalk, at the entrance to Woodcrest of Country
Manor, is a standard crosswalk.

33 | Minnesota Safe Routes to School
Introduction to
Programs
Programs are opportunities to increase
awareness, understanding, and
excitement around walking, biking, and
rolling to school.
Programs are focused on educating students,
families, and the broader community about walking
and biking, as well as on building a culture that
supports and normalizes walking and biking to
school and other destinations. Because programs
are low-cost and can often be implemented quickly
by an individual school or the school district, they
represent an important Safe Routes to School
strategy that complements longer-term strategies,
including infrastructure improvements and policy
changes.

EXISTING PROGRAMS
Kennedy Community School and Saint Cloud School District 742 have been actively working towards providing
safe and inviting spaces around school campuses for students. This foundation of encouraging student travel
safety provides a valuable baseline for expanding programs to encourage more students to walk and bike.
PROGRAMS ALREADY ACTIVE AT KENNEDY COMMUNITY SCHOOL:
• District 742 Safe Routes to School Strategic Action Plan.

PARENT WORKSHOP
Since parents are usually the ones deciding whether
their children walk or bike to school, a workshop
designed for them can provide the tools, resources,
and support needed to begin walking or biking for
transportation. Topics could include starting a
walking school bus, carpool matching, launching a
safety campaign, community discussions on how to
be responsible drivers or organizing an event, such
as Walk and Bike to School Day.
When, where, and how will this be implemented?
Ongoing Discussion.
Why is this relevant and recommended?
Helping parents feel comfortable allowing their
children to walk or bike to school without an adult.
How will this address transportation inequities?
This informational workshop would answer
questions, address concerns, and provide
information and resources to parents to help them
decide whether to permit their children to transport
themselves to school or not.
How will this be evaluated?
A parent survey and, feedback from school leaders.
Who needs to be involved to make this happen?
School and district staff, PTSA/parents, local
government and law enforcement, Bicycle Alliance of
Minnesota, advocates/volunteers, League Cycling
Instructors (League of American Bicyclists).
What is the timeline for implementation?
Short term (1-2 years).
WALK! BIKE! FUN!
Pedestrian and Bike Safety Curriculum is a two-part
curriculum designed specifically for Minnesota’s
schools. It is structured to meet Minnesota
education standards and is an important part of the
Safe Routes to School Program in Minnesota. Walk!
Bike! Fun! helps students ages 5 to 13 learn traffic
rules and regulations, the potential hazards to
traveling, and handling skills needed to bike and
walk effectively, appropriately, and safely through
their community.
When, where, and how will this be implemented?
Ongoing Discussion.
Why is this relevant and recommended?
Encouraging students to become excited about
walking and biking to school.
How will this address transportation inequities?
Safety curriculums can promote excitement for
active transportation by providing the skills and
confidence to travel independently. Students can not
be expected to transport themselves to school if
they are not taught how to do so safely.
How will this be evaluated?
A parent and student survey as well as feedback
from school leaders.
Who needs to be involved to make this happen?
School and district staff, PTSA/parents, local
government, Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota,
advocates/volunteers.
What is the timeline for implementation?
Short term (1-2 years).

COMMUNITY ENCOURAGEMENT
Community encouragement is aimed at ensuring
compliance with traffic and parking laws in school
zones. Encouragement activities help reduce
common poor driving behavior, such as speeding,
failing to yield to pedestrians, turning illegally,
parking illegally, and other violations.
Encouragement actions include School Zone
Speeding Administration and Crosswalk Stings.
Other implementation actions can be led by the
school administration, such as parking lot –‘citations
When, where, and how will this be implemented?
Ongoing Discussion.
Why is this relevant and recommended?
Parents should feel safe allowing their children to
walk or bike to school by ensuring compliance and
encouraging the safety of intersections and
crossings and the speed of traffic along the route.
Driver behavior was also mentioned in the survey's
comment section multiple times.
How will this address transportation inequities?
Law enforcement patrolling nearby roadways might
facilitate awareness of irresponsible driver behavior
in the community.
How will this be evaluated?
A parent survey and feedback from PTSA leaders.
Who needs to be involved to make this happen?
School and district staff, local government and law
enforcement, PTSA/parents, advocates/volunteers.
What is the timeline for implementation?
Medium-term (2-4 years).
BIKE MECHANIC TRAINING
Learning bike repair skills encourages students and
families to bicycle to school and empowers students
to take charge of their own transportation. Bicycle
mechanic training can be made available to students
as a one-time 'basics' lesson or as a multi-session
course. This training can be offered after school or
on weekends for interested students, and can be
combined with an earn-a-bike program, bike rodeo,
or bicycle safety/skills trainings.
When, where, and how will this be implemented?
Ongoing Discussion.
Why is this relevant and recommended?
This program is aimed at middle school-aged
students to encourage hands-on training.
How will this address transportation inequities?
Understanding basic bicycle maintenance and repair
is a lifelong skill that gives students the knowledge,
confidence, and independence to venture further.
How will this be evaluated?
The number of attendees.
Who needs to be involved to make this happen?
School and district staff, parents, Bicycle Alliance of
Minnesota, advocates/volunteers, League Cycling
Instructors (League of American Bicyclists), local bike
shop/business.
What is the timeline for implementation?
Medium-term (2-4 years).

WALK/BIKE TO SCHOOL DAYS
National Walk to School Day and Bike to School Day attract millions of students and families to try walking, biking,
and rolling to school every October and May. In addition, Minnesota celebrates Winter Walk to School Day in
February. Additional education, encouragement, and enforcement programming can be used to promote the
event, increase awareness, and expand participation. Walk/bike to school days can also take place more
frequently if there’s interest and capacity.
When, where, and how will this be implemented?
Ongoing Discussion.
Why is this relevant and recommended?
Walking or biking to school is healthy for students.
How will this address transportation inequities?
For parents to allow their children to transport themselves to and from school, education and engagement
programs must first be in place. The school can provide encouragement programs such as Walk and Bike to
School Days to increase walking and biking while empowering the youth.
How will this be evaluated?
A parent and student survey, feedback from PTSA leaders, and tallies of participating students.
Who needs to be involved to make this happen? School and district staff, local government and law
enforcement, PTSA/parents, advocates/volunteers.
What is the timeline for implementation?
Long term (4+ years).

Action Steps
This plan and planning process provide
two critical ingredients for creating a
more equitable transportation system in
Saint Joseph: a prioritized set of
infrastructure and program
recommendations, and a network of
caregivers, school staff, local
government employees, and community
members committed to improving
walking and biking.

FOR ALL COMMUNITY MEMBERS
A more equitable transportation system that
prioritizes safe, comfortable, and fun opportunities
to walk, bike, and roll benefits everyone. While this
plan is focused on addressing connections to
schools, many improvements will benefit people
with no relationship to the schools because we all
share the same streets, sidewalks, and trails.
Likewise, many needed changes, such as reducing
speed limits and normalizing walking and biking,
extend far beyond the school system.
Your number one role as a community member is to
advocate for changes that make walking, biking, and
rolling safer, more comfortable, and more fun.
Speak to elected officials, show up to community
meetings, talk about walking and biking at school
events and with school administrators, and organize
and vote for candidates who support walking, biking,
and public transit.
I AM A STUDENT OR CAREGIVER
Students and their families can have incredible
influence when advocating for change in their school
and broader community. For example, students and
caregivers can support and lead SRTS initiatives
including:
• Advocating for policy change and funding at City
Hall.
• Developing campaigns to generate enthusiasm
and improve social conditions for SRTS.
• Volunteering time to lead a Walking School Bus
or organize a bike drive.
• Fundraising for SRTS programs and small
infrastructure projects.
I AM A SCHOOL DISTRICT EMPLOYEE
School district staff bring an important perspective
and voice to advocating for a more equitable
transportation system. By describing challenges and
opportunities they see confronting their students
and petitioning local elected officials for
improvements, school district employees can
support policy and infrastructure improvements that
benefit their students and the broader community.
Staff are also ideally positioned to implement the
recommendations in this plan, whether it be a
classroom-level curriculum or school district-wide
policy around walking and biking.
I WORK FOR THE CITY OR COUNTY
As members of the governments that own, regulate,
and maintain the roads, city and county staff can be
instrumental in re-orienting transportation policies
and infrastructure around walking and biking to
schools and other destinations. City and county staff
can leverage their expertise to identify, advocate for,
and implement changes that contribute toward a
more equitable transportation system. Key policies
that staff can support include:
• Reducing lane widths and vehicular speed limits.
• Eliminating minimum parking requirements.
• Revising land use regulations to promote denser
and more integrated land uses that promote
walkable and bikeable trips.
• Prioritizing municipal maintenance and snow
clearing of all pedestrian and bike facilities.
• Requiring complete streets infrastructure as part
of all road resurfacing and reconstruction
projects.
City staff can also use this report to support Safe
Routes to School funding applications to programs
such as MnDOT SRTS grants, Federal SRTS grants,
and the Statewide Health Improvement Program
(SHIP).

DATA GATHERING TOOL
Multiple tools were administered while gathering the Kennedy Community School Safe Routes to
School Plan data. Each instrument focused on collecting data for the six E’s (evaluation, education,
encouragement, equity, engagement, and engineering). This process used quantitative and qualitative
data to formulate informed program and infrastructure recommendations.
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT AND POLICY ASSESSMENT
Kennedy Community School administration completed the School Environment and Policy
Assessment in 2021. The assessment asked various questions such as; current polic ies and practices
around walking and biking to school, arrival and dismissal procedures, and the school zone. The
results can be found in Appendix A.
STUDENT TRAVEL TALLY
Teachers in the classroom conduct the student travel tally on 2 -3 consecutive school days during a
specified week. Teachers record the number of students arriving/leaving school that day using each
type of travel mode. A total of 10 classrooms were recorded, with 236 students participating. The
results can be found in Appendix B.
WALKING AND BIKING AUDIT
A walking and bicycling audit were conducted around Kennedy Community School in fall 2021. This
process involved gathering data about environmental conditions (social, built, and natural) that affect
walking and bicycling. One objective of the audit is to document factors that help or hinder safe
walking and bicycling. These factors include but are not limited to street lighting, sidewalk width,
condition, traffic volume, bike lanes, topography, and presence of dogs, trash, and debris.
SCHOOL ZONE HAZARD OBSERVATIONAL ASSESSMENT
The School Zone Hazard Observational Assessment was conducted by in -person observation by
multiple community volunteers at AM arrival and PM dismissal in fall 2021. This is a way to track
hazards that decrease safety around schools. The tool separately tracks different travel modes and
corresponding behaviors (i.e. distractions, illegal parking/pick up, unsafe crossing, or helmet usa ge).

Council Agenda Item 6
MEETING DATE: July 18, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Moratorium Regarding THC Legislation
SUBMITTED BY: Administration
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: On July 1, 2022, a new Minnesota law was passed that allows
people 21+ to buy and consume food and beverages with no more than 5 milligrams of hemp-derived
THC per serving and no more than 50 milligrams per package.
Staff is recommending the council consider adopting an interim ordinance to establish a moratorium to
study the matter further. The city has the authority to be more restrictive than state law, but not less
restrictive. Should the council want to consider developing additional regulations, zoning code
amendments and other possible regulatory changes would need to be further explored with the city
attorney’s office to fully understand the scope of the city’s authority.

League of MN Cities Memo
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Adopt Ordinance 2022-007 imposing a moratorium on the sale
of hemp-derived THC in the City of St. Joseph.
ORDINANCE NO. 2022-007
AN ORDINANCE PROVIDING A MORATORIUM ON THE SALE OF HEMP
DERIVED THC (TETRAHYDROCANNABINOLS) FOOD AND BEVERAGES
IN THE CITY OF ST JOSEPH MINNESOTA.
1. Purpose: This Ordinance establishes a moratorium on the sale of hemp derived THC
(tetrahydrocannabinols) food and beverages in order to allow the city time to study the
issue and consider licensing, rules and regulations, and sale management controls for the
sale of hemp derived THC food and beverages.
2. Restrictions: For a period of one year from the effective date of this Ordinance, no sale of
hemp derived THC (tetrahydrocannabinols) food and beverages is allowed in the City of
St. Joseph, Minnesota. The City Council reserves the right to extend this moratorium for
such additional periods as are necessary to complete the study as allowed by state law.
This ordinance becomes effective upon publication.
Passed by the City Council of St. Joseph, Minnesota the 18th day of July, 2022.

Focus on New Laws: Some Edible
Cannabinoids Now Legal
July 5, 2022
Cities may want to consider regulating sellers of certain edibles and beverages infused with
the cannabis ingredient THC.
It is now legal to sell certain edibles and beverages infused with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),
the cannabis ingredient extracted from hemp. Cities may want to update regulations and
employee policies as a result of this new law.
The new law was passed by the Legislature as part of Chapter 98. Article 13 makes several
changes to Minnesota Statutes, section 151.72 regarding the sale of certain cannabinoid (CBD)
products. The changes took effect on July 1.
This new law was a surprise to many stakeholder groups and even to legislators, as many were
not aware of the full extent of the languageʼs authorizations. Many lawmakers were hoping to
pass a provision to reign in the selling of delta-8, a substance manufactured from hemp-
derived cannabidiol that has similar intoxicating effects as the more commonly known
cannabinoid delta-9.
Instead, the language authorized certain amounts of both delta-8 and delta-9 in edible CBD
products. This legislation was passed in the last days of session without broad discussion, with
the provision added into the health and human services policy omnibus bill. It has been a
source of frustration for both stakeholders and legislators, as the full impacts of the legislation
are realized.
The League is continuing to work with the involved stakeholders to better understand the new
law and provide guidance to cities on potential paths forward.
New de nitions added
The new law creates several new definitions, including the following:
Defining “certified hemp” to mean hemp plants that have been tested and found to meet the
requirements of Minnesota Statutes, chapter 18K.
Defining “edible cannabinoid product” to mean any product that is intended to be eaten or
consumed as a beverage by humans, contains a cannabinoid in combination with food
ingredients, and is not a drug.
Defining “nonintoxicating cannabinoid” to mean substances extracted from certified hemp
plants that do not produce intoxicating effects when consumed by any route of
administration.
Cannabinoids extracted f rom hemp
The new law amends the scope of sale of any product that contains cannabinoids extracted
from hemp and that is an edible cannabinoid product or is intended for human or animal
consumption.
Previous law authorized a product containing nonintoxicating cannabinoids to be sold, but the
authority to sell edible CBD products was unclear. The new law expands the authority to
include nonintoxicating cannabinoids, including edible cannabinoid products, provided they
do not contain more than 0.3% of any THC. An edible cannabinoid product also cannot exceed
more than five milligrams of any THC in a single serving, or more than a total of 50 milligrams
of any THC per package.
Requirements for edible cannabinoid
products
Along with testing and labeling requirements, an edible CBD must meet several requirements,
including that it:
Not bear the likeness or contain cartoon-like characteristics.
Not be modeled a er a brand of products primarily consumed or marketed to children.
Not be made by applying an extracted or concentrated hemp-derived cannabinoid to a
commercially available candy or snack food item.
May not contain an ingredient, other than a hemp-derived cannabinoid, that is not approved
by the federal Food and Drug Administration.
May not be packaged in a way that resembles any commercially available food product.
Must not be packaged in a container that could reasonably mislead any person to believe that
it contains anything other than an edible cannabinoid product.
An edible CBD product must be prepackaged in a container with certain requirements,
including being child-resistant and tamper-evident. Any CBD product intended for more than a
single use or containing multiple services must have indicators or separate wrapping for the
individual serving sizes.
The new law prohibits the sale of any product containing any CBD or THC extracted or
otherwise derived from hemp to be sold to any individual under the age of 21.
Regulation of edible cannabinoids
Regulation of the edible CBD products falls under the state Board of Pharmacy. The board has
the authority to issue cease-and-desist orders under Minnesota Statutes, section 151.06; to
embargo adulterated and misbranded drugs under Minnesota Statutes, section 151.38; and to
seek injunctive relief under Minnesota Statutes, section 214.11.
Guidance from the Board of Pharmacy indicates that retailers selling products that contain
cannabinoid to individuals under the age of 21 should be reported to local law enforcement
agencies.
Local regulation of edible cannabinoids
The new law does not specifically prohibit cities from regulating the sale of cannabinoid
products locally. Cities will need to work with their attorneys to determine what, if any, local
regulation would be right for their communities. Local regulations will most likely be through a
cityʼs zoning or licensing authority.
Employment impacts of edible
cannabinoids
It is important to consider both federal and state laws with respect to employee CBD use and
related impacts to the workplace.
Cities o en have positions requiring an employee to hold a commercial driverʼs license (CDL).
These positions are regulated by federal law and those regulations are supervised by the
Federal Department of Transportation (DOT).
Federal law preempts state law related to CBD use. In fact, in a December 2012 notice, the DOT
states it does not authorize the use of Schedule I drugs, including marijuana, for any reason. As
a result, cities should continue to follow their current drug testing procedures related to CDL
holders and to enforce prohibitions against any use of cannabis for CDL holders, regardless of
state law protections.
Additionally, public safety employees who carry a firearm cannot lawfully use cannabis under
federal law. Federal law prohibits cities from providing firearms or ammunition to an employee
it knows or has reason to know is using cannabis.
For non-sworn police officer positions and non-CDL drivers, the new law provides no
allowance for an employee to use, possess, or be impaired by cannabis while on duty. Dealing
with impaired behavior on the job site can be challenging, so League staff will continue to
research this new law and next steps for this groups of workers.
Law enforcement impacts of edible
cannabinoids
The new law and recent rulings by the Board of Pharmacy have changed Minnesotaʼs controlled
substances schedules related to certain types of THC products. The League is working with the
Minnesota Chiefs of Police Association to explore the public safety implications of the new law.

Council Agenda Item 7
MEETING DATE: July 18th, 2022
AGENDA ITEM: Transportation Plan update – sidewalks/trails
SUBMITTED BY: Community Development
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
Planning Commission reviewed the sidewalk/trail updates at their March 14th, 2022 meeting.
Park Board reviewed the sidewalk/trail updates at their March 28th, 2022 meeting.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: Council reviewed the sidewalk/trail updates at the March 3rd Work
Session.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Staff along with Park Board, Planning Commission, and Council have all reviewed the sidewalk/trail
connections depicted in the Transportation Plan. The original Transportation Plan was adopted in 2012 and
provides a framework (guide) for future roads/trails/sidewalks. The plan is meant to be somewhat flexible
as exact route of sidewalks/trails/roads can require further refined analysis.
Staff have added the following trail/sidewalk projects to the map:
• Connecting 2nd Ave NW to MN ST and other various infill connections within or near downtown
including prioritizing sidewalks on both sides of street in this area (where applicable).
• Adding the following as priority (these projects will likely be targets for grants):
o Trail on Northland Dr to CSAH 75
o Various infill sidewalk gap areas in or near downtown
o Baker St trail from 7th Ave SE to 20th Ave SE
o MN ST connection from 16th Ave to 20th Ave SE
o 20th AVE SE and CSAH 75 crossing/connection
o Trail along CO RD 121 to East Park
Updating the Plan helps the city reference specific projects when submitting applications for grants. Further
discussion will occur with Council/Planning Commission/Park Board late summer/early Fall on priority
projects so a consensus can be developed for trail/sidewalk grant applications. The next applicable grant is
through the Transportation Alternatives Program. This grant typically opens up in Oct with applications
due Jan. Staff will be working to get rough estimates on the various projects and present those estimates to
Council.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT: None

planning to extend their rail line to the North. A variance is needed due to the railway tracks
distance (setback) from wetlands on the property.
OTHER
• We have been notified from the DNR that before we can execute our grant agreement for East
Park we will need a Phase 1 Archeological study completed. However, after going through past
documents on the site a Phase 1 study was completed at the property in 2003. The study
showed nothing further was needed to be done. I have sent the results of the 2003
Archeological study to the State Historic Preservation Office and am awaiting a response. We
will need their sign off before the grant can be signed and executed with the DNR. Grant
agreement will come to the Council for approval.
• With the new CVB ordinance I will be helping get agendas, meeting notes, and packets pulled

• Permits and administrative work continue to take up a lot of my time.
• The Legislative-Citizen Commission on MN Resources is meeting on July 25th to discuss the 2023
proposals received and select 2023 proposals to call in for presentation. We should know
sometime after this meeting if our LCCMR grant application for East park was selected.
•I will be bringing forth Sidewalk/trail/pedestrian crossing projects and estimates to Council late
