Street Improvement Project, Steve Moore. Thank you. Uh tonight we have Tom Crobridge, the city engineer, and Cody Christensen from Bolton and Link, and they're here to discuss uh the upcoming project uh this summer, which is 40th Avenue
South improvements. So, it's along that uh corridor. Uh but I also will address specifically the intersection at 14th Street and 40th Avenue by SU Rangers. So, we had a town hall meeting at hosted by the city at Ryersonson and we had a
pretty good turnout. So, um this is their update and we're also updating the city council at the same time on this project. So, yeah. So, today the council will be officially receiving the report and ordering the plans and specifications
for the project. Our goal is to be receiving bids in April and awarding them probably at the very beginning of May and the project would get constructed this year. And so understanding that with the school district property at 14th Street and
40th there being a key part of this project, uh we really wanted to also be presenting to the school board and trying to bring any comments or feedback back to our our council as well just to make sure that we're not proceeding on a
project that you're not going to be comfortable with. So, um, so yeah, so this corridor, uh, 40th Avenue South was first, uh, paved in 2005, so just over 20 years ago now. And prior to that, it
had been a gravel road, uh, rural section gravel road, speed limit of 55. At the time we built it, we needed to maintain the rural drainage system. So, it's it's a pretty wide open road. you can really see very clearly around it
except right at 14th there's a little more because there had been a historic there's a there was a house there all the time and everything but that openness helps lead to one of the problems we've got the the road out there does have some speeding issues and it's not really favorable for
pedestrians uh largely because of that. Um, and what our goal with this project is is to improve the safety while also balancing the need to maintain reasonable traffic flow and you know and but reducing speed
and and that's not contradictory. We can have good traffic flow and not a high speed. Some people don't see it that way, but that's, you know, our intent is to make it predictable for traffic and and uh and reliable and at the same time
really improve the safety for pedestrians. So, so we hired Bolton and Mink to help us analyze the corridor. Our overall project that we were planning was a simple mill and overlay and prior to the last year the road actually had a pretty
good safety record. We really don't have a lot of accidents on there and so last year we really hope was more of an aberration but it did call attention to specifically some of the pedestrian concerns that people do have out there.
And so this slide uh kind of summarizes what we were looking at on the project. And so the pedestrian crossings are we've done a decent job with the type of road that it is because it's a minor arterial roadway. But with the way everything is
developed along the corridor, there are a lot of pedestrians that need to cross and because of the speed concerns that we've had and we also in analyzing this have learned that the intersection of 14th Street, the stop signs there aren't obeyed very well. and things like that
really do make it a lot harder for pedestrians to feel comfortable crossing the road. >> We had a question. Do you want them now or would you like them at the end or >> I guess we can probably take them now. >> Go ahead. >> I was just wondering when you said they're not obeyed a lot. Is it the 14th Street stop sign or is it the
>> Yeah, it's Yeah, it's the 14th. So the the traffic on 40th doesn't like to stop, but I think actually at that intersection of 14th and 40th, I think all directions people were not respecting the stop sign. So yeah.
Okay. So we had to try to solicit public input on this. We did some social media sharing of the information we had. Um, we created a project website and then we had that meeting at SG Reinardson. Uh, worked with Steve to get that publicized
and and it was a very cold day so we didn't get as much people there as we would have liked but we still actually had pretty good attendance and it was it was wellreceived. We had good comments uh from the people that were there and I
think that also helped to spread the word about the website and the presentation we gave at that. Uh there was a uh there was a slideshow video that people could watch. And so out of the people that had visited the website
as of a week ago, there had been 166 people that viewed the video or at least part of the video anyway. and and the the video of what we really wanted people to see that for was to really try to understand why we're leading the way
we are with the project. And I'll get to that in a little bit here. U but we've had 40 responses and and feedback based on the uh on the outreach that we've done so far and so we're pretty happy with that.
So, the the open house had 25 people that attended it and I believe eight people there gave us comment cards. Um, so that's a pretty good pretty good uh ratio of the people that were there. The biggest concern everybody has out there
is pedestrian safety, which makes sense when you're next to an elementary school like that. Uh, it was very good feedback and information. You know, several of the people that were there were from the school and uh some of them were crossing guards and they they were able to really
give us what their impressions were and tell us what they thought about what we were proposing to do. Uh the roundabout at 14th Street, and I'll get more into that, but that's what we've been proposing as as one of our really the
best alternative that we've got to address some of the issues that we've seen along the corridor. And we expected that to generate a bit of concern or people not really being all that confident in it. You know, a roundabout
is great for vehicle traffic. I think everybody understands that better now than they did 20 years ago. Um, but even we have some concerns with pedestrians because yeah, the idea of people going into roundabout is they don't want to stop. But, you know, the the main
benefit to a roundabout is it does slow people down a lot right at that intersection and it simplifies what they're looking for. And because of that, we do think with appropriate treatments that it will also be a good
intersection for pedestrians as well. So then we also had the the website and we advertised that and we had a a pretty good number of views on that and the feedback we were getting again the real
strong emphasis 63% of the people that commented were commenting about the need for pedestrian and student safety in particular at 14th Street but also at some of the other intersections both on 40th and on 14th Street
And then there were a lot of people that were concerned about uh the potential for speed reduction measures. Um and that is something in the report that we've done so far we really hadn't talked much about that. But we do believe that you know having a
consistent 30 mph speed limit on that corridor will be beneficial and is something that we think with the improvements we're making it'll be appropriate to do it. The concern we've always had with, you know, if you put up a sign, we could we could sign whatever
speed limit we want on there. People are going to drive what they're comfortable with. And the road, the way it is built today, it's pretty comfortable for people to drive 40, at least from 14th Street to 20th Street. And we could sign it for 30 and I don't think it would change it unless we did other changes to
the road with it. And that is what we're proposing to do. We're we're going to do some things that we think will help make people want to drive a little slower. It'll take away some of the comfort of driving faster. So, the feedback we had, so all total
between the comment cards at the meeting in person and then the the online we had 40 comments. And again, the vast majority of those comments were concerning pedestrian safety. And then there was also a significant uh concern
for people about getting the speed to be reduced. And then out of that online, 18% supported a roundabout, 50% preferred an allway stop condition or a signal, and then 32% had no preference. So, we do
think that although a lot of people did watch the video, we're not sure they watched the whole video. I think only about a third of the people got all the way through the video and it was about halfway through. If you haven't seen it yet, I encourage you to look at it. Uh we we had a video record for a couple of
days of that intersection and less than half of the traffic was coming to a full stop at it and there was a significant >> on the later slide. Yeah. And there's a significant number of people that it looked like they didn't even hardly slow down when they went through it. So those
types of numbers are very concerning to us. So actually come. Oh no, that's all right. Yeah. So So the safe system approach is uh you know where we try to combine all of the tools at our disposal to try to
address problems like this. So we can't engineer a complete solution to everything. We can design whatever we want. People are still, you know, some people are still going to drive the way they're going to drive. So there's an enforcement issue, there's an education issue. You know, roundabouts work very
well, but some people still are not sure what they're supposed to do. And so that's that's a a chance for more education. And with pedestrian issues, elementary age students are they're the ones that are the most challenging because they're
they're just old enough to start walking maybe and they're trying to do some of that by themselves, but they don't always understand the rules of traffic and and how some of that works as well. And they don't recognize sometimes when things are a risk and when they aren't. And so that's a good another example of
a potential for education. And so but that's the safe system approach is really trying to look at all of the things more than just engineering. So so the corridor improvements that we're looking at um the pedestrian improvements that we're
talking about uh which have been very well received I think you know if anything people want more of the flashing beacons if if we can we're proposing to do at least uh at least two flashing beacons along here. Uh, one
would be across from what's currently the it's right at the parent drop off between 11th Street and 14th Street and then the other one would be at 16th Street. There are some other crossings where people do cross and people have been
asking about the potential for improvements at those as well. One problem we always have is we can put signs up and try to make really nice enhanced crossings, but if 95 99% of the time cars are driving by and they don't see pedestrians, they start to tune some
of those things out as well. So, our goal is to go for making these improvements at the the principal crossings, the ones that will see the most activity, and hope that that starts to get both the drivers and the pedestrians
uh to use that, pay attention, and understand what that means. And then hopefully that works well for the other crossings as well. Um and and if we don't do it at the project right now and we find later on, maybe two years down the road, you know what, this crossing
really needs some additional treatment, we can do that. I mean, something like that isn't that hard for us to do. So, some of the key solutions we've got, we have a question, Keith, a couple quick questions on this the slide prior.
Um, is that a a median on 40th right by by the school and then right before 10th Street? >> Yes. >> Yes. >> Slow traffic and encourage that. >> Yep. Yeah. And so that's part of by narrowing the available lane that people can drive in, it will slow them down.
>> Okay. And then um I see there's a crosswalk going across 40th on 10th Street, but um currently that crosswalk leads to a a shallow ditch. There's no sidewalk without >> on the other side. It's covered by >> the shared use.
>> And then my last quick question, there's a bus stop on Hornbachers. Would there be a a pull out for that or would it just still stop on the road where it does currently? >> It would. Our uh Matt bus actually prefers to have to not have a pull out
because they they they have a hard time getting back into traffic. That's that's another example of state law saying this is you have to yield to the bus, but the drivers a lot of times either they don't know it or they just don't care and they don't want to let the bus in in front. And so they they would prefer to stop in
a lane that they're going to continue on in. Okay. And so yeah, that's good to know. >> Appreciate that. Thank you. Yeah. And the other thing that I didn't mention, you can see the green on there. The green is a place where there's actually currently right turn lanes that we're proposing to remove.
And that's an example. 20 years ago, we looked, oh, it's a minor arterial. Let's just make sure cars can easily get through and we'll give right turn lanes where we know people are going to be turning in. But right turns don't slow traffic down a whole lot. They slow it down a little. You're not necessarily
horribly comfortable. So you you drive according to that, but right turning vehicles usually can turn and they get out of your way. And so traffic still flows pretty well. and as so because of that we're proposing to remove those and that makes it a lot better for
pedestrians because sometimes that right turning car screens a pedestrian from the view of a traffic of the car that's going straight through and that might be some of the reasons that cars aren't yielding to pedestrians as much and less of a walkway as well. >> Yes. Um and then I see it's cut off here
but is this 14th would be a roundabout here or is that on >> that's that's what that's what we're recommending. Okay. So, thank you. >> Yes. Yeah. >> And yeah, and that's we've got that on a on slides that are coming up. So, >> okay. So, some of the different things that get considered. So, there's a rap
rectangular rapid flashing beacons and those have a random flashing pattern. They only activate when the pedestrian pushes the button to cross. So, rather than flashing all the time and getting ignored, if you see that to start flash, you know, you know someone just arrived
and is planning to cross. And so that's it's a very good mechanism to use and it has very good uh reliability. The traffic when they see that up to 98% stops for that. >> Yes. Um one other question. I I do like
the idea that and also I was just thinking now the is it the Buckeye the thing over a street by Concordia where they is that better or worse than this? you know that they have their place. I would say as an engineer who knows how
that's supposed to work, that's some I have to think about it when I come up to it. So, we're we're a little uncomfortable with that one. And the nice thing, these are about $15,000 and are very effective on and for the traffic on this road, which is a fraction of what's on Eighth
Street, >> you know, we we feel this is a much better solution here. But yeah, those those other solutions might be $200,000 instead of 10 10,000. So, >> appreciate that. Thank you. >> So, and then uh Okay, go ahead.
>> What happened to speed bumps? >> So, speed bumps can be done in certain places. This is a minor arterial roadway. It's a state aid roadway. If we put speed bumps in there, that
would not be desirable. We do think that by narrowing the road and getting rid of some of those turn lanes and doing some of these other improvements that that will help a lot and we will monitor it and and see how that works. Another
thing that will eventually be justified is a traffic signal at 20th Street. It still doesn't meet the conditions where you'd want to put that in. And similar to stop signs, if it's if people don't see cross traffic at an all-way stop,
they tend to go through it, right? It's traffic signals can kind of be the same thing where people don't like them or they don't respect them properly if they don't see a reason for it to be there. And so there has to be more traffic. As you know, we're seeing a lot more
development start to happen east of 20 20th Street. And so I don't expect it to be too much longer before that's warranted. And then that'll be another factor I think that'll make traffic shift a little bit or how they drive accordingly. So,
okay. So, uh pedestrian refuge islands are also a nice thing because again they reduce the length of the distance a pedestrian has to cross. They also mean you only have to really look one direction because you cars can only come from one direction as you're doing it.
And that's that's very convenient. Uh and you can do that with the rectangular rapid flashing beacon. So that's what we're proposing at the parent drop off spot um west of 14th. And so you you can combine them both and that should work
very well. A good example where we have one of these is uh on Village Green Boulevard. Uh that's that's a good connection to a park on Village Green Boulevard. We've done that where we've got a refuge island and a beacon. Uh then the road diet is another thing
that we're talking about doing. So if we can get rid of some of those right turn lanes that uh with the analysis that we have of it, they they really won't impact traffic negatively by taking them out and they'll make the pedestrian experience much better.
And then we'll also do some shared use path improvements. Uh the most important one will be on 14th Street. And you know the example there back when we were doing this we had to maintain the rural drainage and ditches take up a lot of space. So we didn't have enough right
ofway to put a sidewalk on the east side of 14th Street. And so we'll be able to fill in that ditch now because we no longer have all that rural drainage coming through. We've built a different system that takes that away. So we can do that with this project. And so
that'll that will also help out in this neighborhood. Can you talk about that on the 14th the green there says removing part of the parent drop off path. Is that what that is? And then making >> Yeah. And >> can you explain that one a little more?
>> Yeah, I should do that. So, what we're hoping to do and that's something uh Steve was working on on trying to analyze and make sure how that works within for you guys as well. But what we would like to do, and I think in when we
get into talking about the intersection of 14th, that's also where a roundabout I think will work really well, is we would like to have the parent drop off be one way completely. So you'd come in on 40th and go out only on 14th.
And we think coming in after where it comes in on 40th probably you can have a lane for the ones that are right turning in and a lane for the ones that are left turning in. So they're not conflicting with each other either and go pretty efficiently by getting rid of the right
turn lane. Then the left turners will know they can go in when someone's turning right in because there there's a gap where they can make that turn. So we think that would function well. that takes that takes a little more modeling. And so that's another another thing that Bolton and Mink will be looking at. But
if we did that, then there's a bit of work and specifically at 14th Street there to change how that is. We also wanted to line that up with the church driveway across the street because that also complicates it there. You got people turning left and it it it gets
confusing sometimes when you have those offset intersections. So that's that's what we're hoping to do there. It's not a guarantee yet. We've got to kind of work that out and and and make sure that that's something that works for the school district. So
>> to my colleagueu's point about speed bumps, did did I hear you say that because it's state aid, it's not allowed by the state? >> It's so so it's a minor arterial roadway. It's intended to be good for traffic. And I know our our fire
department has real issues if we try to do speed bumps that are effective. We we can look at some things. One thing we actually were considering like if we if we chose not to do the roundabout at 14th Street, one thing we were going to
look at to see is could we actually have a raised intersection, just lift the whole intersection up a little bit as well. And it's so we're still there's still a few things we're looking at. We think a roundabout is going to be the the simplest best solution for it, but we're still looking at some of the other
options. So, yeah. >> Also, another question. >> I just being a roundabout person that goes around one twice a day from Fargo to Morehead over Veterans. >> When I'm coming on to onto Maine, I
think that's what it is. I'm looking to my left to see if there's cars coming around. There's people crossing because there's crosswalks there and is very like challenging as a driver to maneuver that as you're looking for traffic and also trying to get into that roundabout
taking a right-hand turn. So, I can understand why people are concerned about that because it's very hard to challenge as a driver and then as a child trying to understand how to cross it. It's just you're looking to your left when you're doing a roundabout when you're taking a right-hand turn. You're
not looking and you're trying to look at people crossing, but it seems really challenging. >> Yeah, >> that's my thought. >> Yeah. And we'll we'll be able to talk more in depth on on that and those that particular concern when we uh we got that's coming up pretty quick here. So,
>> yeah. So, a lot of people right off the bat, even last year, were saying we should put in a traffic signal at 14th Street, and they that would solve the problem. And data really doesn't show that. Uh, nationwide
intersections, if if you don't have specific traffic volumes, especially on the cross street as well, a traffic signal is not warranted. And they tend to have more crashes than if you put in an unwarranted one. They have more
crashes. And the crashes are usually worse because if someone runs a red light now, you have a high-speed crash. Uh you know, because the other person, well, you were going to stop. You had to stop. And and so they so there there's real concerns about that. The other
thing you can get, unfortunately, is people trying to beat the red light. And so you can actually have higher speeds as people go through that intersection. So, you know, it's there's real strong safety reasons not to do a traffic
signal at that intersection. And then the question is, well, why not an allway stop? We have an allway stop there now. And we could do that if we can't get enough support for trying to do a roundabout. uh you know an all-way stop is it's something that can be done,
but we do have some major concerns. And again, if you haven't seen it, it's this slide here. When you get to that slide in the presentation, it shows you'll see cars go in all directions through that intersection without stopping. And it's it's just really disappointing to see
that. U but yeah, less than 50% were compliant. And we looked at this two different times. We had video from August and video again from December >> and September. >> And yeah, and September. Yeah. So, yeah. So, we we it's it's consistent that
people are not obeying that stop sign. And then the other thing with an always stop is you can get some very poor queuing, the traffic backing up, and yeah, specifically with parent drop off type situations. Obviously, that's that's going to be the peak traffic
through here. And so, so then we looked at a roundabout and we recognized that, you know, elementary students crossing at a roundabout definitely can be a concern during the school day. The school would have crossing guards. Um, and there's, as I
talked earlier about the different, you know, that safe systems approach. We'd be very happy to work with the district and, you know, have our traffic engineer could come and talk to students or we can create handouts that can be used. You know, it's a good opportunity to be
able to teach young kids how to use a roundabout and how that would work. And when even with the re rectangular rapid flashing beacons, you know, and now one thing that you'll notice with this is so there should be enough space between
the crosswalk and the actual circle of the roundabout that a car could fit in there. So really what should happen is as a car is approaching, you should be able to focus first, is there a pedestrian? So you're looking for a pedestrian. If there's not
a pedestrian, you proceed up to the signal and now you're looking or not the signal, but the circle. Now you're looking just to your left to see if there's a car and you get in it. Usually where we've had more concern actually with the pedestrians at a roundabout is
on the exit. when someone is exiting the roundabout and again there's enough room they can exit and see but that's that's the part where the maybe the drivers have kind of forgotten to be looking for for the pedestrians. Um but there's still there's enough room
that a car can get out of that circle, wait for a pedestrian if necessary and go. So, you're still looking and actually once you're in the circle, that's the only thing you have to look at is where you leave when you leave. Is is there going to be a pedestrian there? Because that really is going to be the
first conflict that you could have. So, it it should work, but I do recognize that drivers don't always do what we expect them to do. So, and that that's where a lot of the concern comes from. Couple questions. >> How many students do we have are walking
that direction typically in a day? Do we know to and from any idea? >> We've never tracked that information. I could I mean I could estimate but I don't have data on that. >> Okay. I'm just trying to think of a roundabout where it's kind of a high pedestrian area and I can't think of
one. It's usually more out in the open kind of area. So that's a little concern for me too. And then thinking of like over by Dies where there's one further way down once cars start coming like on 14th get school out. And if you're on 40th, how do you ever get out into that
loop when there's just constant traffic coming from 14th? Like you're going to be waiting a long time for all those cars that are either leaving or, you know, coming in to get out of there. And you know, with a properly designed roundabout, this this lab, you know, so
this is going to be more of a mini roundabout and but it's it'll still So the minis that I can think of, I know I actually live in Detroit Lakes and they built a couple there. They were really tight on rightaway. So, those are very small. >> This would be bigger than that because
we do have pretty good rightaway out here. >> And so, we'll have more space than that, which allows us to give the the chicanees as you're coming into the roundabout, which helps to slow the vehicles down that are coming into it.
And they're really a roundabout. One of the nice things about them is because people have slowed down and even the ones driving in it have slowed down. Usually, you're not driving bumperto-bumper through a roundabout. So, there's there's a good chance to do that zipper merging to get in. And it it
should work well that way. It's what drives what makes that harder is driver impatience that try not to let someone in. But if they're if you're just taking your turn going in, it actually works very very well. And so Keith,
>> I was just going to say given as a as a driver in that area, um I would prefer the roundabout because I've seen the queueing happen and it can really slow the flow. So I think to your point, if people are using the roundabout properly and to Dave's point, hopefully they
would able to maneuver that in an efficient way, a safe way um for everybody. And I I also appreciate that because it looked like the crosswalk was a little bit back from what I was seeing. So I appreciate that commented too. >> Okay.
>> Go ahead. >> I think a roundabout far as traffic is going to work very well. What could we have you thought about putting tunnels under the roads? >> Because we have one just down on 20th Street. >> Yeah.
>> And there's one on each street. >> Yeah. the traffic volumes are much higher and justified for that. So those the one at 8th Street which was built in 2009 so the 2009 prices were much better but
that was about a million dollars and the one that went under the railroad tracks a few years later was probably 1.4 million something like that. It's it's very expensive to do it. Um I I do
think another factor here is so as as a reminder. So you can see on the left side of the screen you we've got that flashing beacon. You can't see over at 16th Street, but that's really because of the way the roads are. The people in Johnson Farms would be coming there.
They could cross at that flashing beacon and be on the south side of 40th. We're going to have a sidewalk on 14th. if they don't want to cross the roundabout on the south side of 14th, they could go south and cross where we'll have uh I
think that crossing would be just south of the parent >> drop off. So, the traffic volume there should be quite a bit lower. I think people will have an option if they really don't want to cross at the roundabout, they will have options to cross at at alternate locations.
>> Yeah. >> And so hopefully that would also address that that question or concern. >> Yeah. the the downsides to underpasses as well. Just from a safety perspective, many kids, many adults don't feel comfortable walking down a tunnel regardless of how much light you put in
there. There's just a that's an additional safety concern a lot of people have with underpasses in general. Um, so >> I'm just afraid J talked about having crossing guards there for the when the school year is on, but when we're not in
school, then there's still that issue of people crossing at that spot. And I think you're going to see it more in the summer than you do in the winter where students and I'm talking coming into that roundabout, you're going to slow down. Yeah, you're you're right. When they see the yield
sign, they're not going to slow down. I I've watched it for years and years and years as a law enforcement officer. They don't slow down coming into that where that crosswalk is until they see the yield sign. And I I agree with you. The flow of the traffic is great. I I I was
against roundabouts. I seen one go down in South 75 and we never had a crash since down there >> that has killed somebody. >> Yeah. >> So, um I I'm just apprehensive of how this is going to work. How much does the
roundabout cost? Are we talking what $500,000 million? So, I mean, how much is this going to cost >> since we're I mean, we're reconstructing because otherwise it was a million overlay project. So, compared to an all-way stop condition,
>> yeah, we're adding at least 500,000. I don't know if I don't know if it'd be a million, but it'd be somewhere in that range. >> 5 to 750 probably for this size. >> Yeah. Okay. >> So, so yeah, there's definitely a cost impact to that. Y >> I I don't know. I just don't I'm I'm not
against it. I'm I'm I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job by any means, but I just think an culvert would work a lot better in my opinion as >> mean a tunnel. >> A tunnel. Yeah, it's a culvert. It's a
box culvert is what it is. >> Yeah. >> Um and we have it on 20th Street for a railroad. >> And how many people? >> Well, that's the railroad and 20th Street. though. And we we knew
>> the traffic on 20th Street, we expect that to keep growing. >> Mhm. >> And 40th, we expect to be when everything is fully developed, so another 20 years from now, it should peak out at close to 10,000 cars a day.
>> Yeah. If you put a fully stop down on 20th now, that would slow your traffic down coming into 14th Street, would it? Well, we'd we'd have even a worse compliance probably than we have here.
>> Companceian issues. >> Yeah. Well, the other thing is actually I'm not sure we could put a stop sign at that one because it's next to the railroad tracks. >> Okay. >> So, that that would complicate that as well. >> It have to be a white instead. Is that what I'm getting?
>> Yes. >> That just my thoughts on it. I I thank you guys for doing what you're doing. I just >> Yep. No, and that's I mean that's we're here again we we know there's going to be some apprehension about a roundabout and that's where we wanted to find out
you know is it a absolutely not over my dead body or is it I have concerns but I see there's things you can do you know because again we're hoping that by providing some of these other alternate improvements as well if people are uncomfortable at the roundabout that
they'll have other crossings that are actually just as good for Um, so if if it's not, you know, with a pedestrian, that's really the probably the biggest thing as a pedestrian is you don't want to go very far out of your way to avoid an uncomfortable situation, right? You're just going to, you know,
cuz it takes a long time to walk. So you don't, you know, even two 300 feet can be a lot. But our goal would be that whatever route you're going, you can find a route that's about the same travel time. And crossing 14th Street is way easier than crossing 40th cuz the
traffic on 14th is probably only about 30% of what we got on 40th Avenue. >> And so there's there's usually a lot more gaps there. >> So it looks like the crosswalk areas here in this diagram are different than
the on veterans because they're before you get into the round. And I think on the veterans one the crosswalk is like right there when you're going into the round. Is this different maybe that they're further back the crosses? >> Probably. I I I know that's what we're trying to do here. Yeah.
>> And especially the east west ones are set back even further so that >> the school buses when they come through they're there waiting in the roundabout. >> They're not blocking the crosswalk. >> Okay, that makes sense. And then the Washington. I've seen people drive
straight over that one's like right off. >> Yeah. Yeah. And that from talking to the engineer who designed that one. They had both roundabouts were in the same contract and they finished the one at Washington and Yeah. and Willow by M&H
there. They finished that one first and they very quickly realized Oops. And so when they did the second one, they made the circle about another inch, inch and a half higher. And it's you still have cars will drive over that but not quite as many because they feel it more. So
yeah, >> I've seen a uh it's a parody but of a situation where there's um a tray of bricks and they're foam bricks, but people don't know they're foam bricks. So maybe we could have that and then have a basket on the other side so they
could pick up a brick, go into the intersection and then place the foam brick on the other side. Yeah. Know if there's any other roundabouts this close to a school that and how that is worked. >> I think we have some at the end of the presentation. There's there's about nine
>> in uh Morehead West Fargo area >> next to schools. >> Good. Yeah. So, okay. So with the roundabout, again, the concern is pedestrians crossing outside of school periods because again, the school period
that there would be crossing guards and you know, and that's where we're having the rectangular rapid flashing beacons. And we also do think that by designing this roundabout properly, we can make it comfortable for pedestrians as well. And
but but we our our goal again is to give people options. So, so they can go with what they're comfortable with. So, and and again, it's like yes, with a roundabout, traffic is hoping not to stop, but you know, at a stop sign,
their goal is to stop as little as they can. And so, they tend to if they stop, it's a rolling stop a lot of times. And sometimes, unfortunately, they aren't even stopping at all. Um, and you know that red stop sign a lot of times
pedestrians can feel safer than they should feel maybe because the driver if the drivers aren't respecting it but the pedestrian is assuming that they will you can have bad results from that as well. So with a roundabout, it's a little bit both the driver and the pedest pedestrian have to be on their
guard and aware and paying attention. And hopefully by having everybody not entirely comfortable with what they're driving through or trying to cross that it makes it safer. And then as you'd asked about local roundabout examples, so there's several
of them listed here and around both their elementary schools and and So, and and then there's other places in the in Minnesota that have this as well. But yeah, this is a good example having this many locally that already have
them, too. So, >> go ahead. >> Um, how many of these ones I mean, I can see the pedestrians, right? But do they have the same pedestrian traffic that we do? There's a few of them in West Fargo that are kind of in the same have a
neighborhood directly adjacent to them. Um there's also a couple um I think Ozgood and Aurora. Um they're like on veterans and so their school boundaries are on either side so they don't really have to go
through the roundabout as a pedestrian. Uh but there are three or four that do have that neighborhood connection that you know would go through a roundabout. >> Yeah. Like a lot of them here there's not really a development on all sides of roads. So they're kind of staying on one
side like dogs. You don't really cross over the road. You stay on. >> Yeah. >> There's no perfect example. That's exactly what we have at 40th and 14th. >> That's close. Yeah. >> Yeah. Yeah. And I know at at Dodd's our plan there was again peds would be
crossing. We we we've got it all set up for whenever it develops to the south that they would have a ped crossing that lines up with one of the driveways in and out of that parent drop off area. They wouldn't be going crossing at the roundabout. That's that was kind of what
we planned at that time. So >> okay question I think >> and then you had said that the timeline with the bid and the the bid would be awarded and then construction would happen and complete this year we think.
>> Yeah it should it you know the project it's mostly maron overlay project for the construction of the roundabout that would be the most substantial part and okay road would be closed for it. Mhm. >> So, >> okay. Thank you. >> Yeah.
>> That'll be a big thing when school starts if it's not done right. >> Yes. >> It's does, how do I say this? Do residents of Morehead seem to go through
stops lines more than >> I will say I live on Fifth Street, the oneway going towards downtown. We have double stop signs in front of my house and I would say less than 25% of people actually stop. Uh my children weren't allowed to cross the street. There's a
park across the street. We're not across allowed across the street until they were 12 years old. Um, and that was because I realized they were three years away from getting their permit and that soon they would be driving on those roads that they were not allowed to
cross. Um, I have asked um uh the police sheriff uh to come over and just have coffee and just see just see how many cars just blow through those stop signs.
Uh, so I see it as a problem every day. Not only that, but also driving along the runway with those cars that don't stop. It's uh it's there will be a deadly crash at my intersection in front of my house. But um
is this common? Is this uncommon? Like what can we do educationwise for uh people that are adults and are not attending school any longer? It's a I that's a tough question. I I
would say I don't think people in this area are probably any worse than I mean I I think there's just some consistency nationwide. Some of it comes down to sometimes we oversign things and stop signs have been overused in the past. We
try hard not to do that here. And so we've got a pretty wellestablished policy. If someone wants to add stop signs, we try to have good control of that. And but it's because when they're not when they don't meet the criteria that you
would normally use for putting in stop signs, people tend to not respect them. And so so there there's always that concern. Uh, and I think you know this again this intersection of 14th Street doesn't actually that the traffic volume
on 14th Street really isn't high enough to justify making that an all hallway stop. And you know, I think we we made it that when we paved the road because we knew the elementary school was there and we an all hallway stop is good next to an elementary school and and you would have thought between that and the
school zone signs and the elementary school that's clearly visible and the playground equipment out front, you'd think all of those things would have an effect. Um but it's it's it's not it's not changing the driver behavior. So
>> people will not stop for children waiting to cross with stop signs unless there is an adult present and that is a fact. >> Yeah. I I have seen that at my house a a
bunch. Kids will stand at the sidewalk double stop signs and cars will try to beat the kids. Any other questions? >> Scott, >> I just want to say thank you for coming tonight and giving us a presentation. I
appreciate it. It's it's a lot of work. I understand. So, thank you. >> Yeah. >> Yes. Thank you again. Appreciate it very much. >> Okay. And like I said, I think you know that that website is still up. So, I encourage you if you haven't yet to look at it. Uh, and if you have any parents
that come to you with any questions about this, direct them to that as well. And you can certainly have them try calling me. You know, we we want to get their feedback. We want to do a project that has buyin from the public. I think,
you know, we recognize that there's some concerns about it, but we do think that when we can go through and carefully explain how we got to the point we're at, we do think that we can get most people to be at least comfortable with what we're trying to do or or willing to
willing to see it through. So, >> Sure. >> Okay. Thank you again. >> Yep. Thank you. Everyone to Indian Education American Indian Education Update. Dr. Jimmy Larson and Dr. Isaac Lindberg uh the
supervisor of our federal programs uh is here to kind of uh give an update on some of the things that happened this year with our programming. >> Welcome. >> Thank you. I'm going to uh turn it over pretty quickly here to Dolores. Um Matt
couldn't be here tonight, but he sends his his regrets. Um, so a few little updates for you before I turn it over to her, but um, you maybe recall this or or maybe this is unfamiliar to you, but there's been a pretty pretty large increase in um, Indian education program
funding in Minnesota over the last few years. Um, and so we've been able to increase our staff by quite a bit. Um, so that staff is is listed there in front of you. Um, it wasn't that long ago that we had one liaison for the entire school district. Uh, and now we
have a a large team, which is super cool. Um, Matt and and Dolores here have a a a leadership role within our team. Uh, so I'll turn it over to Dolores here shortly. Um, we have a very active parent committee, meets monthly. Um,
it's a fun group if you ever want to come and check that out. Uh, we have three funding streams that support uh, Indian education. We have some state funds that I mentioned that's about $300,000 or so. Title six is around $100,000. Um, and JOM supports some
really specific educational benefits for qualified students. Um, that's quite a bit less, but um, we applied for a grant uh, recently that we're hoping uh, maybe we'll be able to offer some language programming or courses as well. So, uh,
hopefully we'll have an update for you on that soon. But I'll turn it over to Dolores. >> Good evening. We just wanted to share some of the things that our program has done in the past year. Um so you'll see on the slide here that we have pictures from the indigenous people's day pow
that we had and we had a lot of people from the community that attended that. Um one of the things that we did at the pow was we displayed the different tribal flags. So that was something new this year. Um you can see the picture that there was a lot of students that
participated in that. Um, we also go to the elementary schools and we do drum and dance presentations. And then we also had the winter gathering. I believe this past year was probably our most attended winter gathering. We had a lot of um staff
members and community members that participated in that. Um, Brandon was there and Shelley Carlson was there. So, that was really great. Um, we're trying to get our students out doing a little bit more cultural things. um you know through field trips and so we took some
students with us to Detroit Lakes this past Saturday. We took a trip out to White Earth also. And then just the student engagement that we are trying to do with our students, you know, getting them involved in the different things in our
community is one of our focuses. We also do a lot of cultural programming with our students and um that includes again the drum and dance and we also had some summer programming this year. It was a collaboration that we had with Concordia and it was called the land as
our witness and that was out in Detroit Lakes and that was relatively well attended and one of the strong focuses of our program is college and career readiness. We've taken our students to the local colleges and you can see
there's a picture there of us at NDSU. That's one of the things that we're really trying to focus on with our students. And then if you're wondering who our students are, this is just a breakdown of the students that we have. Our highest enrollment comes from Turtle
Mountain and White Earth. That's um the Ojiu Tribes. And then you can see that there's some other tribes there listed. Um, Spirit Lake, Cicetin, those are our Dakota tribes um from North Dakota and
South Dakota. And then we have a multitude of other tribes represented in our students. Also, you can see they're all listed on the bottom there. And these are only um the tribes that we have paperwork for.
And so I know for sure that there are the tribes represented in our student body. And I'm actually going to turn this over to Isaac. She sounds good. Um so just some of the things that are kind of ongoing um or uh
projects that we continue to work on. Um we've we've expanded a lot of cultural programmings and offerings over the last few years. We have a course that's in place with the middle school. Um we're kind of trying to a lot of what you just saw Dolores highlighted uh wasn't necessarily in place, you know, 5 10
years ago, which has been cool. Um a lot of work on absenteeism, uh with that population of students. Um a part of that is the the community building that I think our team is trying to do both internally and then uh kind of building out connections into our our larger
community. Um, we certainly have some academic needs that we uh continue to to work to address. Um, within that population of students, as with all populations of students, um, bridging home and community and school systems of trust, there's a lot of kind of
historical distrust um, that exists uh, sometimes within uh, that population that we serve. And so our team uh does an awesome job of of acting as the liaison uh for those families uh to help navigate school systems uh and also to
advocate for uh the needs of students within uh the system that exists. Um and there's always a need for ongoing professional learning uh uh for uh school staff generally, right, in terms of serving the needs of uh native
students. And so, uh, our team is great about partnering with school staff and educating and, uh, helping figure out ways to problem solve for kids. So, um, yeah. Well, anything to add on there? >> Not really. >> Otherwise, we'll turn it over to any questions, but appreciate your
>> question. I know during the what did I attend when you met with your yearly? >> Oh, tribal tribal council. >> Tribal council. We had a few lessons that were going back to school to be getting their teacher degrees. And with the um visit with the colleges and career ready, are there I know the push
is always to try to get more students, Native American students into the profession of education, is there and like with more at state. Is there anybody that's is there a good connection there to hopefully get more students into education field or have you really noticed a difference? Well,
it's funny that you ask because tomorrow we actually have um some representatives from Biji that are coming down to talk about an Oji boy teacher training pathway for students. And so that's going to be something that the high
school students and the ALC students are going to be able to see. And so we are trying to make those connections with the different um colleges, universities, you know, to to try to figure out um you know, the best way to get our students
participating in those different programs. We also had in the fall a person come and present about some of the scholarships. You know, I I know that we have the spud scholars, I believe, right? Um but we also have the American Indian
scholars program, too. and that one is specific to the um Minnesota state colleges and so you know alongside the spud scholars we do share with our students about the ones that are specific for their demographic.
>> Great. It's good to hear. Thank you. >> Any other questions for them? All right. Well, thank you so much for coming here tonight and presenting for us. All right. Move on to approval of Morehead High School Sports Center North
Rink Improvement Project. Steve Moore. All right. So, this is a project that's been uh identified um probably I got here in Morehead in 2014. I work for the city of Morehead as public works director and facilities director. Uh and this north rank roof
structure uh has been undergoing some rust uh rusting to the roof structure and that was identified in 2014. So fast forward um you know 12 years and we're still I we still haven't fixed the roof. We
couldn't do it at the city. So that's why we sold the the um ice rates to the school district for a dollar so we could utilize ICE levy funding that doesn't come out of, you know, uh general fund capital. So I wanted to lead out by
saying that this project will be funded using a combination of long-term facility maintenance as well as ice levy. and we're going to split it in a way where the ice levy capacity remains constant and has zero net impact to the
taxpayer. So we have a certain ICE levy capacity. We project out our projects to stay under that ice levy so we don't have to increase that ice levy tax capacity. So that's how we're funding this project. Um so this money can only
be used uh for facilities and this facilities for long-term facility maintenance. Um, and ice levy can only be used in ice rinks. So, the scope of this project, they should put this in your packet, but uh it's to sand blast and paint the entire roof structure in
the north rink. Um, we just replaced both roofs on both the south rink and the north rink. Uh, but the the reason that roof structure is is corroding because it doesn't have pro it doesn't have any dehumidification in the north rink. So, the other scope of this
project is HVAC related. We're adding a dehumidifier uh to the north rank similar to the one in the south rank. However, due to code changes um I have to increase air flow and circulation. So, in addition to the dehumidifier, I have to also add an additional rooftop
unit uh to add circulation. And then finally, I got to put drywall back in to a former exterior concrete wall. Do a fire code. You can see where I stand on these codes based on my tone. Um, I had
to take a bunch of drywall out of that south wall, north rink two years ago because of mold infestation. I was going to leave it as is, but now that I'm doing this project, I have to add the firewall back into it. So, um, that's going to I wasn't planning on doing it,
so that added another $110,000 to the project. So, um, if you look at your bid summary and the figure that is on the resolution, they don't match. And the reason why is because I'm not selecting
the alternate number one to put a top coat, an additional top coat. I feel it's unnecessary and not worth $100,000. So, I did not I did not accept that one. And then going to abuse resistant uh or eliminating abuse resistant board was
only a savings of $427 on that drywall. So I chose not to take that option. I'd rather have the higher quality material uh and not save $427. So that's why the total is 1,788,62166. that is against uh the government or the
government um the estimate of 1,962,92750. Uh so bids came in almost 9% less than our estimate. Um so uh I propose uh there's a suggested resolution for you to consider uh to award this contract
and the money is going to be split. I'm using $500,000 in LTFM and the rest 1.288 288 roughly million is coming uh out of ICE levy phased over two fiscal years to keep that balanced. So that's the financials and the scope of project. I'd
be happy to answer any questions. >> Thanks Scott. >> I'm ready for a motion. >> Okay. >> Discussion after motion if it goes through. Move to approve the bid the total bid of1,788,62166 for the Morehead High School Sports
Center North Link Improvement Project as presented. Keith, I second. I have a motion by Scott, second by Keith to approve the total bid of $1,788,621.66 66 cents for the Morehead High School
Sports Center North rank improvement project that's presented. Lily, >> do we have any um long-term facility management uh things that are in the queue waiting for fixes? So, the way I
build and I'll be briefing you here in a few months on the proposed FY27 capital LTFM project list and um all the assets are in my asset database planner with um facility conditions assigned to
each of those components. And so I review those based on need and criticality. And so everything that's going to be proposed, there'll be some roofing projects and so everything that's going to be proposed and funded within our existing budget uh is is
identified and and we'll be taking and we're down to um we don't have any critical left. We have we have plenty of poor but so does every other school district uh in the country. So overall to answer your question, yes, it's racked and stacked. Um risk assessment
is taken into consideration. facility condition assessment is taken into consideration. And I just came from a conference too where I can uh where I gave a presentation on asset management um in Scottsdale, Arizona. And overall nationwide facility condition average
facility condition assessment of K through2 districts is around 26.2%. The lower it is the better it is. Right? Our current FCA is 8.2%. Wow. >> So, we are we are doing a um so the way
we manage our programs and and manage our long-term facility maintenance, we're doing we're doing the right things. So, that's a good question because it is important that we focus our funding on the most important things first. It's always burning candles at both ends to uh to maximize the value
and spending value of your dollars. So, good question. M >> point what is the life of the what do we have left in that center >> in the sports center >> to do >> no what's the life expectancy
>> oh of of the ice rinks so the building you now that we're once this project is done everything else will be aesthetic I I have some rooftop units that I need to upgrade because those uh but that's part of our long-term facility maintenance plan so The facility itself will last
for decades. The other question I think you might be getting at is our icemaking equipment which is R22 which is I think was installed in 91. So that is nearing its end of useful life but what I will be coming to you
with uh as part of the FY27 capital program. No actually I funded it with ICE levy this year. So, we've hired a company called F no C uh Fahrenheit 32 below for B32 below 32 degrees. That's what it was. Um, and they are um a
they're um strictly to assess our icemaking equipment and we've asked the question, how much longer is our R22 system going to last? So with that, now that um a lot of people are changing to ammonia systems, the supply of R22,
which is no longer produced, the supply I was going to buy a whole bunch and sell it on eBay, but um the the supply of R22 is actually gone. The demand has gone down. Supply stays the same, but the demand has gone down. So there's some longevity now with our
R22 system. Now, we just got to assess the condition of that system. And so we'll have those results uh later this summer and then we'll have to program out if we what that timeline is so we can calculate what ice levy capacity we need to save to to install an ammonia
system. But I we'll have that answer for you um later on after the summer. >> Any other discussion? >> We have the motion made yet. So all in favor of the motion please say I. >> I oppose. same sign. Motion carries.
Thanks, Steve. >> Moving on to the 2025 2027 teacher master agreement. Dr. Chris, >> thank you. A new year agreement uh contract agreement was negotiated with the teachers for a period of July 1st, 2025 through June 30th, 2027. Um the
language changes were addressed um in the memo as well as any memorandum of understanding which can be anything from continuation of uh previous identified memorandum of understanding and are generally um procedural as opposed to contractual in nature which is why
they're separated. Um the two-year agreement uh financial statement is as follows. Uh 2025 through 26 a cost of $2,78,638 a 4.29% increase. 26 to 271,800,622 a 2.73%
increase and a total of for a total of 4.5 or $4,59,260 and that is a 7.02% um increase over the life of the contract. Um so the final contracts are always uh posted on the website as soon
as we have all signatures um and can be reviewed there. Yes, sir. I'm ready for a motion. >> I move to approve the teachers master agreement for 2025 to 2027 with the identified language changes and total
cost of 4,59,260 as presented. Scott seconded a motion by Melissa, second by Scott to um approve the teachers master agreement for 2025 to 2027 with ident identified language
changes and total cost of 4,59,260 presented any discussion any additional discussion. All right. All in favor please say I. I same motion carries. Thank you.
