The intended use is to store semi -trucks and trailers on site as an overflow from McKimm Milk Transit Property. New storage buildings may be considered on the site at some point in the future. The existing building shop spaces will either be used for storage or rented out to another tenant. There was a public comment related to how many new buildings would be built on the site. Staff noted there are no plans for more buildings at this time. The person also asked about noise at night from trucks backing up. The applicant noted they have no plans to operate at night at this time. Another neighbor brought up access to the site.

Adopted by the City Council this 23rd day of June, 2026. ATTEST: Matthew Jaunich City Administrator Gary T. Forcier Mayor HUTCHINSON A CITY ON PURPOSE. To: Hutchinson Planning Commission From: Dan Jochum, AICP Planning Director Date: June 12, 2026 Application: Consideration of a Conditional Use Permit for truck terminal (semi- trailer parking) at 1060 and 1064 Adams St SE. Applicant: Alec Westlund CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT Alec Westlund and Colin McKimm as the owners of West Meadow Companies, LLC would like to purchase the Juul Contracting property in Hutchinson, located at 1060/1064 Adams St SE. The plans for the property are to clean it up and remove the dirt, clay, gravel piles. We then plan to grade the lot and install a fence on the back side of the property near the apartments for safety and security of the property and the neighbors. The intended use is to store semi -trucks and trailers on site as an overflow from McKimm Milk Transit Property. New storage buildings may be considered on the site at some point in the future. The existing building shop spaces will either be used for storage or rented out to another tenant. Indicates property described in this notice N �N� J sF \� CQ� 1060 yes Existing Zoning: Property Location: Existing Land Use: Adjacent Land Use And Zoning: Comprehensive Land Use Plan: GENERAL INFORMATION I-1 Light Industrial 1060 and 1064 Adams St SE Contractor Yard Industrial and Residential Industrial Zoning History: The building was built on the 1060 Adams St property in 1950s. The 1064 Adams parcel started to be used for industrial use in the 1960s. The building was built on the 1064 Adams St parcel in the 1970s. Applicable Regulations: Section 154.067 and Chapter 152 Shoreland Management, Hutchinson City Code Project Overview: West Meadow Companies, LLC (Alec Westlund and Colin McKimm) are interesting in purchasing the former Juul Contracting Property and cleaning it up and utilizing it for overflow storage for semi -trucks and semi -trailers. This site has been used for industrial uses since the 1950's. The nature of the use would be very similar to the semi -truck and trailer storage at the McKimm Milk Transit facility located at 1145 Adams St. SE. There is the possibility of a new building(s) being constructed at some point in the future. Additionally, the current buildings may be converted to storage or rented out to a tenant. Project Review: This proposed project is a Conditional Use Permit in the I-1 zoning district and is considered a truck terminal. A truck terminal is defined as follows: TRUCK TERMINAL. A warehouse and distribution business specializing in the shipment of goods or materials and which generates significant numbers ofseml-trailer trucks. The City has allowed rear lots of industrial zoned properties to be gravel surfaced for the storage of materials, vehicles and equipment. Staff understand that the applicant and or current owner are working to remove all the dirt piles and other items from the lot to prepare for the parking of semi -trucks and trailers. The applicant noted the property will be re -graded to accommodate the parking of trucks and trailers. A grading and erosion control permit will be required for this work, as well as a survey prepared by a surveyor and a grading plan/site plan prepared by a Professional Engineer to ensure proper site circulation, drainage, compliance with City regulations, including stormwater management (NPDES), and shoreland/zoning ordinance regulations. If more than 1 acre of soil is disturbed with the project, stormwater management will likely be required. Typically a pond or other approved stormwater facility is needed to meet NPDES requirements. City staff needs to see a more detailed site plan that is submitted with the survey that has exact parking areas denoted, as well as access and circulation that the trucks will be utilizing. The site plan should also show proposed fencing that will provide screening to the adjacent residential properties. The zoning ordinance requires screening of the entire property if items are stored outside. Conditional Use Permit: The Conditional Use Permit (CUP) is required for a pole type structure within the City of Hutchinson. The following are standards for granting a conditional use permit: (a) The proposed building or use at the particular location requested is necessary or desirable to provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of the public convenience and will contribute to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community; (b) The proposed building or use will not have a substantial or undue adverse effect upon adjacent property, the character of the neighborhood, traffic conditions, utility facilities and other matters affecting the public health, safety and general welfare; and (c) The proposed building or use will be designed, arranged and operated so as to permit the development and use of neighboring property in accordance with the applicable district regulations. Recommendation: Staff recommend approval of this request to the Planning Commission because the applicant's request meets the standards for approving the conditional use permit provided above. If the Planning Commission recommends approval of the applicant's request as recommended, staff suggests the following conditions be part of the approval: 1. The standards for granting a conditional use permit would be met, subject to the conditions stated. 2. The proposed building and site improvements shall comply with the standards of the Zoning Ordinance and all other rules and regulations. 3. The Applicant must obtain all necessary permits for project. 4. The conditional use permit shall remain in effect if the conditions required by the permit are observed. Any expansion or intensification of a conditional use or change to another use requires approval of a new conditional use permit. 5. A survey and grading/site plan with grades are required prior to issuance of any permits or the use starting. Survey needs to be completed by licensed surveyor and grading/site plan needs to be completed by Professional Engineer. 6. A fence is required for screening around the entire site by zoning ordinance standards. 7. Applicant is to provide the City with an estimate of how many trucks per day will be going to and from site. 8. Dust control is required to ensure dust is managed. Chloride or similar is recommended to control dust. 9. Stormwater needs to be studied more fully, and a pond or other stormwater best practice may be needed. McKimm Milk Transit SITE PLAN Trailer Storage Yard / Accessory Storage Use PID 232300060 + PID 232050120 Hutchinson, Minnesota Project Information Applicant Primary Parcel Accessory Parcel Proposed Use Trailer Capacity Alec Westlund PID 232300060 PID 232050120 Trailer Storage Yard + MMT Storage Approx. 100 Units Executive Summary This package includes a site plan and a land -use narrative for McKimm Milk Transit (MMT). The proposal includes the coordinated use of PID 232300060 and PID 232050120, with trailer storage concentrated on PID 232300060 and accessory storage on PID 232050120. The property will remain Class 233-3A Commercial Land and Building with a Property Use Code of 0500-Commerical for zoning purposed. Site Plan Narrative PID 232300060 is proposed as the primary trailer storage yard with trailer rows generally parallel and perpendicular to the river corridor with maneuvering space between rows. Existing buildings will remain and be utilized for MMT storage. Existing debris and contractor refuse will be removed. We plan to install a security fence on the rear property line adjacent to the residential neighboring properties. The fence location is located in blue on the overhead map and would measure approximately 690 feet. Land use includes storage for overflow trailers on site when needed. The map shows adequate space for 110 trailers measuring 53 feet long and 8.5 feet wide plus additional room. There will be no new buildings added to the property. We will continue to use the existing driveway as built today and are shared with Vacek Construction. Existing utility lines and connection points will be maintained. The property currently does not hold an existing SWPPP. Under Mn. R. 7090.3080 the property would qualify for a no -exposure certification as it has no direct stormwater discharge connections. MMT will seek no -exposure certification with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency if necessary.

Pursuant to M.S. § 444.075, as it may be amended from time to time, the city establishes a storm water drainage utility, authorizes the imposition of just and reasonable charges for the use and availability of storm sewer facilities, and establishes a Storm Water Fund. The Storm Water Fund shall be a separate account and shall be used solely for storm water drainage purposes, as outlined in the above -referenced statute. (2004 Code, § 53.120) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.131 DEFINITIONS. For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning. POLLUTANT LOADING. The amount of total suspended solids delivered to the storm water drainage system, measured in pounds per acre per year, that is generated from a given land use. STANDARD RAINFALL EVENT. The one-year storm of one -day duration. TOTAL SUSPENDED SOLIDS or TSS. The sum of all suspended matter, described by the dry weight of the suspended matter found in a specific volume of water (milligrams per liter, for example). (2004 Code, § 53.121) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.132 FINDINGS AND DETERMINATIONS. (A) In the exercise of its governmental authority and in order to promote the public health, safety, convenience and general welfare, the city has constructed, operated and maintained a storm sewer system ("the system"). This subchapter is adopted in the further exercise of this authority and for the same purposes. (B) The system, as constructed, heretofore has been financed and paid for through the imposition of special assessments and ad valorem taxes. It is now necessary and desirable to provide an alternative method of recovering some or all of the future costs of improving, maintaining and operating the system through the imposition of charges as provided in this subchapter. (C) (1) In imposing charges, it is necessary to establish a methodology that undertakes to make them just and equitable. Taking into account the status of completion of the system, past methods of recovering system cost, the topography of the city and other relevant factors, it is determined that it would be just and equitable to assign responsibility for some or all of the future costs of operating, maintaining and improving the system on the basis of the expected volume of storm water runoff from the various parcels of land within the city during a standard rainfall event as defined in § 53.131 of this chapter. (2) In addition, it is determined that it would be just and equitable to assign responsibility for some or all of the future costs of operating, maintaining and improving the system on the basis of the expected pollutant loading from the various parcels of land within the city. (D) Assigning costs and making charges based upon expected typical storm water runoff volume and pollutant loading cannot be done with mathematical precision, but can only be accomplished within reasonable and practical limits. The provisions of this subchapter undertake to establish a reasonable and practical methodology for making these charges. (2004 Code, § 53.122) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.133 RATES AND CHARGES; LAND USE CLASSIFICATIONS. (A) Rates and charges. (1) Residential equivalent factor. Rates and charges for the use and availability of the system shall be determined through the use of a residential equivalent factor (REF). An REF has been developed for the storm water runoff volume (volume REF), the storm water runoff pollutant loading (quality REF) and a composite that is used for the final utility fee calculation (utility REF). (a) For the purpose of this subchapter, the following definitions shall apply unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning. QUALITY REF. The ratio of the pollutant loading (measured as total suspended solids) coming from land subjected to a particular use, to the pollutant loading coming from land subject to typical single-family residential use with the city. UTILITY REF. The ratio of the sum of the volume and quality portions of the total annual storm water drainage utility fee for a given land use classification (as computed using the volume REF and the quality REF for that land use classification), to the sum of the volume and quality portions of the total annual storm water drainage utility fee for the single-family residential land use classification (as computed using the volume REF and the quality REF for the single-family residential land use classification). VOLUME REF. The ratio of the average volume of surface water runoff coming from one acre of land subjected to a particular use to the average volume of runoff coming from one acre of land subjected to typical single-family residential use within the city during a standard rainfall event. (b) The utility REF for each of the land use classifications will be revised at that time in the future when there is a shift in the percentage of utility expenditures related to storm water runoff volume and storm water runoff quality treatment. The revision shall be determined by the Director of Public Works, who shall notify the City Council of the action. (2) Storm water drainage charges. (a) In determining charges the City Council shall by ordinance establish a basic system rate to be charged against one acre of land having a utility REF of one. The charge to be made against each parcel of land shall then be determined by multiplying the utility REF for the parcel's land use classification times the parcel's acreage times the basic system rate. The volume, quality and utility REFs for the following land uses within the city and the billing classifications for those land uses are as follows. Billing Classification Land Use Volume REF Quality REF Utility REF 1 Golf course, park, open space 0.41 0.50 0.43 2 Single-family and duplex residential 1.00 1.00 1.00 3 Public and private schools and institutional uses 1.36 3.05 1.67 4 Multiple -family residential and churches 2.18 3.21 2.37 5 Commercial and industrial 1 3.79 1 6.10 1 4.22 (b) For the purposes of calculating storm water drainage charges, all developed single-family and duplex parcels less than one acre in size per unit shall be considered to have an acreage of one-third acre per unit. Double bungalows or duplexes shall be considered to be two units. Single-family parcels over one acre in size or duplex residential parcels over one acre per unit in size shall be billed at a higher rate. These rates shall be included in the ordinance approved by the City Council. (3) Storm water utility rates. Storm water utility rates shall be established by an ordinance of the City Council as amended from time to time. Fee rates may be included as part of the fee schedule, as adopted by the City Council, included within the annual budget ordinance. Fees shall be structured to reasonably reflect the cost of constructing, maintaining and operating storm water drainage systems as outlined in M.S. § 444.075, as it may be amended from time to time. (B) Other land uses. The Director of Public Works shall classify other land uses not listed in the foregoing table by assigning them to classes most nearly like the listed uses, from the standpoint of runoff volume for the standard rainfall event and the pollutant loading. An appeal from the Director of Public Works' determination of the property classification may be made to the City Council. (2004 Code, § 53.123) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.134 ADJUSTMENT AUTHORITY. The City Council may, by ordinance, adopt policies providing for the adjustment of charges or credits to charges for parcels or groups of parcels, based upon land use data supplied by affected property owners, which data demonstrates a runoff volume for the standard rainfall event or a pollutant loading substantially different from that being used for the parcel or parcels. The Director of Public Works shall make the adjustment or credit. An appeal from the Director of Public Works' determination may be made in writing to the City Council. No adjustments shall be made retroactively. (2004 Code, § 53.124) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.135 PUBLIC HEARING AND NOTICE. The city shall hold a hearing prior to determining whether to build, construct, enlarge or improve storm sewer facilities financed in whole or in part by the imposition of storm sewer drainage charges. Notice of the hearing shall be published in the official city newspaper at least ten days prior to the date of hearing. Owners of all property adjoining a proposed improvement shall be mailed or served with a notice at least ten days in advance of the hearing. However, failure to give mailed notice or any defects in the notice shall not invalidate the proceedings. (2004 Code, § 53.125) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.136 EXEMPTIONS. Public street rights -of -way, railroad rights -of -way and lands used exclusively for agricultural purposes are exempt from storm water drainage charges. (2004 Code, § 53.126) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.137 PAYMENT OF CHARGES. Storm water bills shall be mailed to the owner or other account holder with their city water/sewer statement and shall specify the charges. (2004 Code, § 53.127) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.138 DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS. (A) Delinquent bills, penalties. A bill shall be considered delinquent if not paid by the end of the day on the billing due date. At that time the city shall require the delinquent owner or occupant to pay a penalty in addition to the original bill. The penalty shall be assessed on the first business day subsequent to the billing due date, calculated at the greater of 5% of the original bill or $1. If delinquent bills are not paid they may be deemed delinquent and may be placed, together with penalties as provided by statute, on the next year's tax roll and be collected as other taxes are collected. Change of ownership or occupancy of premises found delinquent shall not be cause for reducing or eliminating these penalties. (B) Responsibility of owner. Payment of charges and penalties is the ultimate responsibility of the property owner. The city reserves the right to trace the delinquent bill or penalty to the new address of the delinquent occupant. (C) Additional penalties. In addition to the above listed penalties, the city may impose any and all of the penalties outlined in § 1.18 of the City Policy Handbook if a storm water utility account is found to be delinquent. (D) Assessment of delinquent accounts. Delinquent accounts may be certified by the City Council to the County Auditor for collection with the next years taxes as provided for by M.S. § 444.075, as it may be amended from time to time. Before making the certification, a delinquent account holder must be notified by first class mail of the delinquency and the date the holder may appear before the City Council to state any reason why the certification should not be made. (2004 Code, § 53.128) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) § 53.139 RECALCULATION; ADJUSTMENTS; CREDITS. (A) Recalculation of charges. If a property owner or person responsible for paying the storm water drainage charge questions the correctness of such a charge, that person may have the determination of the charge recomputed by written request to the Director of Public Works. This request shall be made within 30 days of the mailing of the billing in question. (B) Adjustments or credits to the storm water drainage charges. (1) Rate structure; purpose of adjustments. (a) The municipal storm water drainage utility uses a rate structure based on the anticipated relative contribution of storm water drainage runoff volume and pollutant loading to the storm water drainage system. A parcel's contribution is determined by that parcel's size and its land use, under the principle that more intensively developed land uses typically have a larger percentage of impervious surface and contribute a much greater volume of water to the system for the standard rainfall event of 2.3 inches in 24 hours and larger pollutant loading. (b) It is recognized that some parcels, due either to their unique topographic, vegetative, geologic and other characteristics have a hydrologic response substantially different from that of similarly sized parcels of the same land use. To provide for an equitable assessment of storm water drainage charges, based on reasonably expected contribution of flows, provisions need to be made to permit adjustments to the storm water drainage charge for those parcels with unique or unusual characteristics, or credits to the storm water drainage charge for those parcels with storm water runoff volume and/or quality treatment facilities. (2) Grounds for adjustment. (a) The basis of the city's storm water drainage charges is the anticipated relative contribution of storm water runoff volume and pollutant loading to the storm water drainage system from a given parcel. Where unique or unusual conditions exist where the actual contributions of storm water runoff volume or pollutant loading from a given parcel are substantially different from those anticipated by the storm water drainage rate structure, the Director of Public Works, or designee thereof, may adjust or credit the storm water drainage charge for the parcel to an appropriate level in accordance with the guidelines specified herein. (b) The subchapter establishing the storm water drainage utility provides for the Director of Public Works to make adjustments or credits to the charges when: 1. The property owner supplies data demonstrating a storm water runoff volume for the standard rainfall event substantially different from that being used for the parcel; or 2. The property owner supplies data demonstrating that storm water runoff from the parcel is being treated to provide the required removal efficiency for total suspended solids (TSS). (3) Property owner to provide detailed information. It is the responsibility of the property owner or agent thereof to present to the Director of Public Works, or designee thereof, sufficient information concerning a parcel's hydrologic characteristics to permit an accurate assessment of the conditions that exist. (a) This information may include, but is not limited to: 1. Site plan showing locations of all buildings, paved areas and other development relative to lot lines; 2. The total lot area and area of impervious surfaces, in square feet; 3. Site topography or contours of sufficient detail to ascertain flow directions, rates and volumes; 4. Hydraulic calculations specifying outflow volumes and rates for various rainfall events; and 5. Calculation of total suspended solids removal efficient of any on -site storm water runoff treatment facility. (b) Failure to provide this information within 30 days after delivery of a written request shall result in the assignment of the highest classification level for volume, quality and utility REF. (4) Adjustments where parcel runoff is significantly different from land use standard. Where the unit runoff generated by a parcel differs from the assigned amount for that land use category by more than 20%, the Director of Public Works, or designee thereof, may adjust the parcel's storm water drainage charge in accordance with the following procedure. (a) Calculation of unit runoff for the parcel shall be determined by the methods outlined in the Natural Resources Conservation Service Technical Release No. 55, utilizing a one-year event of 24-hour duration as the standard rainfall event. (b) If the calculated unit runoff is shown to differ from the assigned amount for that land use category by 20% or more, the volume portion of the fee for that parcel shall be adjusted by multiplying it by the ratio of the calculated unit runoff to the standard unit runoff. (c) A parcel's storm water drainage charge shall be subject to increases as well as decreases by this procedure. (d) For parcels with ponds covered by public easements, the area used for the calculation of the charge shall be reduced by the size of the easement area. (e) Because single-family and duplex fees are not based upon actual parcel acreage, no adjustments for unit runoff differences will be made for those land uses, except for totally vacant, unimproved, fully turfed parcels. (f) Adjustments shall not be retroactive. They become effective from the date they are approved. (5) Procedures for calculation of storm water credits. Procedures for calculation of storm water detention credits for volume charges and for calculation of water quality treatment credits for quality charges shall be based on standards prepared by the Director of Public Works and approved by the City Council. (6) City's right to inspect facilities and initiate fee adjustments and/or credits. (a) The Director of Public Works, or designee thereof, reserves the right to inspect periodically all storm drainage control facilities to ascertain that they are operating properly. If such a system, due to improper maintenance or other reason, fails to detain or cleanse storm water runoff in an effective manner, the Director of Public Works, or designee thereof, may eliminate or reduce detention or water quality credits to an appropriate level. The facility shall not be eligible to apply for storm drainage charge adjustments and/or credits for a period of 12 months following any adjustment and/or credit. Adjustments and credits shall not be made retroactively. An appeal from the Director of Public Works' determination may be made to the City Council. (b) The issuance of any building permit or other action that changes or intensifies an existing land use shall be cause for an adjustment of storm water drainage charges to an appropriate level. (2004 Code, § 53.129) (Ord. 01-289, passed 1-23-2001) ADMINISTRATION AND ENFORCEMENT § 53.150 RIGHT OF ENTRY; IDENTIFICATION; SAFETY RULES. (A) Right of entry. The Council or other duly authorized employees of the city, bearing proper credentials and identification, shall be permitted to enter all properties at all reasonable times for the purpose of inspection, observation or testing, all in accordance with the provisions of this chapter. This includes inspection of buildings to confirm that there is no sump pump or other prohibited discharge into the sanitary sewer system. The city may allow for certification of compliance by a licensed plumber that has received the authority to do so by the city. The city may periodically reinspect any building or premise to determine compliance with the requirements of this chapter. (B) Safety. While performing the necessary work on private premises referred to in division (A) above, the duly authorized city employees shall observe all safety rules applicable to the premises established by the owner or the occupant. (C) Identification, right to enter easements. The Council or duly authorized employees of the city, bearing proper credentials and identification, shall be permitted to enter all private properties through which the city holds an easement for the purpose of, but not limited to, inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, repair and maintenance of any portion of the sewage works lying within the easement at all reasonable times, all subject to the terms, if any, of that easement. (D) Warrants. If the licensee, owner, resident or other person in control of a premises objects to the inspection of or entrance to the property, the City Administrator, peace officer or any employee or official charged with the duty of enforcing the provisions of this code may, upon a showing that probable cause exists for the issuance of a valid search warrant from a court of competent jurisdiction, petition and obtain a search warrant before conducting the inspection or otherwise entering the property. This warrant shall be only to determine whether the provisions of this code enacted to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people are being complied with and to enforce these provisions only, and no criminal charges shall be made as a result of the warrant. No warrant shall be issued unless there be probable cause to issue the warrant. Probable cause occurs if the search is reasonable. Probable cause does not depend on specific knowledge of the condition of a particular property. (2004 Code, § 53.140) (Ord. 781, passed 7-19-1988; Ord. 01-291, passed 5-22-2001) § 53.151 PUBLIC NUISANCES; ABATEMENT; EMERGENCY ABATEMENT. (A) Public nuisance. The violation of any provision of §§ 53.001, 53.035 through 53.040, 53.055 through 53.063, 53.110 through 53.112, 53.1 16 or 53.150 of this code, shall constitute a public nuisance as that term is defined in this code of ordinances. (B) Abatement of nuisance, no immediate danger. If it is determined that a public nuisance has been created, or is being maintained, by violation of this chapter (as set forth hereinabove), but that the nature of the nuisance is not so as to threaten great and immediate danger to the public health, safety, peace, morals or decency, written notice shall be served on the person causing or maintaining the nuisance to remove or correct the same (identifying the nature of the violation) within a specified reasonable time. The offender shall, within the period of time stated in the notice, abate the nuisance and permanently cease all violations. (C) Abatement of nuisance, immediate danger. If it is determined that a public nuisance caused by the violation of this chapter exists, and that there is great and immediate danger to the public health, safety, peace, morals or decency, the Mayor, City Engineer or Chief of Police may cause the same to immediately be abated, and charge the cost thereof to the owner, occupant or person causing, permitting or maintaining the nuisance, as the case may be. If notice to abate the nuisance has been given to the owner, the cost shall be assessed against the real estate as a special charge. (2004 Code, § 53.141) (Ord. 781, passed 7-19-1988) Penalty, see § 10.99 § 53.152 APPEALS; PROCEDURES. Any user, permit applicant or permit holder affected by any decision, action or determination, including cease and desist orders, made by the Council interpreting or implementing the provisions of this chapter or in any permit issued herein, may file with the Council a written request for reconsideration within ten days of the date of the decision, action or determination, setting forth in detail the facts supporting the user's request for reconsideration.

We thank the members of the Hutchinson community for their thoughtful input, collaboration, and continued dedication to creating a safer environment for all students in the Hutchinson School District. Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 3 Background and Existing Conditions The Purpose of Safe Routes to School Plans The purpose of this Safe Routes to School (SRTS) Plan is to identify practical strategies that improve safety and accessibility for students who walk or bike to school. The document is intended to guide the City of Hutchinson and the Hutchinson School District as they consider improvements to students' access to the district's five school campuses. The plan also provides supporting documentation which can be used when pursuing future grants to support infrastructure improvements, and as a reference for future planning efforts. This plan updates the Safe Routes to School Plan adopted by Hutchinson in 2015, reflecting significant changes that have occurred at several school campuses since that time. Brief History of SRTS Plans Safe Routes to School planning in the United States began in 1975, when the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) released a national study titled School Trip Safety and Urban Play Areas. This study was designed to provide guidelines for the protection of young pedestrians (ages 5-14) traveling to and from school; boarding school buses, and participating in after school activities. Key findings from the study included: 1. Younger children (ages 5-9) were disproportionately involved in pedestrian crashes and had difficulty recognizing or distinguishing traffic control devices when compared to older children (ages 10-14). 2. Drivers traveling near schools rarely noticed school -related traffic signs unless they were flashing. 3. The use of school walking routes and associated maps helped schools and families focus on practical and achievable safety improvements. The next two decades would see a proliferation of new school and community -based projects that would later form the foundation of what is now called SRTS. However, modern SRTS work began in earnest in the Bronx of New York City in 1997. Congress then funded two demonstration projects in Marin County, California (1998) and Arlington, Massachusetts (1998) and these projects served as a springboard for other states to undertake similar work in the early 2000's. In 2005 Congress created the first National Safe Routes to School program, administered by the Federal Highway Administration, to improve road safety for children and encourage them to walk and bike to school. In July 2012, Congress demonstrated further commitment to SRTS by providing funding through the MAP-21 transportation bill, which allowed ongoing SRTS activities to proceed under the new Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP). Minnesota's Safe Routes to School Program In 2005, Minnesota received federal funding for Safe Routes to School, established as part of the SAFETEA-LU transportation bill. Under this law, every state in the nation is allocated money to improve school safety and encourage walking and cycling to school, with a focus on children in grades Kindergarten through Eight. The federal money provided under SAFETEA-LU had no requirement for states or local communities to provide a local financial match to support projects built with these funds. In 2012, Minnesota's legislature made a major commitment to ' SRTS by passing legislation to create a state sponsored program. Through Minnesota Statute Section 174.40, the State now TO SCHOOL provides support for capital projects that improve pedestrian and bicycle safety before, during, and after school hours, so that walking and bicycling to school is a viable and attractive transportation option. Minnesota's SRTS program is grounded in the same principles as the federal SRTS program. It includes some administrative and evaluation requirements carried out by staff from the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT), the agency now charged with SRTS program administration. Their work is guided by the SRTS Steering Committee. Established by MnDOT in 2011, this committee is comprised of 27 members representing various urban, suburban, and Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 4 rural cities, counties, metropolitan planning organizations, schools, and public health agencies. Its members determine statewide SRTS priorities, select projects through competitive application processes, and guide the direction of program activities. In 2013, MnDOT awarded more than $15 million to Minnesota communities to support SRTS projects. Most of the awards went toward planning and infrastructure work, on or near school properties, to improve safety for those walking and bicycling to and from school. In Minnesota, Safe Routes to School supports roughly 200 schools each year, reaching tens of thousands of students annually through programming and infrastructure investments, while statewide K-8 pedestrian and bicycle safety education now extends that reach to nearly all students. In recent years, MnDOT has awarded millions of dollars annually through the Safe Routes to School program —including roughly $8-11 million for infrastructure and about $1-2 million for planning, education, and other non -infrastructure efforts —continuing a strong emphasis on physical improvements that enhance pedestrian and bicyclist safety. The Six E's Framework The "Six E's" is shorthand fora broad and multifaceted approach tothe planning, design and implementation of transportation projects. This approach is often used in transportation planning and road safety interventions because there is no single countermeasure that works for all situations. The Six E's approach focuses on improving safety by implementing strategies in the categories of: Engineering, Education, Encouragement, Enforcement, Evaluation, and Equity. .4 4*Z!�7rsft ttm prp .3 .t rQ7 e�c�e %t v+r WA,C CIO Cr Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan S Engineering focuses on the physical design of streets, sidewalks, crossings, and transportation systems. This includes traffic calming, creating safer intersections, improving lighting, and incorporating infrastructure that reduces the likelihood and severity of crashes. Education involves informing students and the motoring public about safe behaviors and rules of the road. This work can include school -based programming, driver education, pedestrian and bicycle safety training, and public awareness campaigns. Enforcement ensures that traffic laws and safety regulations are followed. Targeted, fair, and data -driven enforcement can deter dangerous behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving, or failure to yield. Encouragement aims to promote safe and healthy travel choices through positive incentives rather than penalties. Examples include walking and biking programs, events like Walk to School Day, or employer -sponsored commuting benefits. Evaluation is the process of collecting data and measuring outcomes to understand what is working and what is not. This includes analyzing crash data, traffic speeds, usage patterns, and program effectiveness to guide continuous improvement. Equity ensures that safety investments and programs benefit all people, especially those historically underserved or at higher risk. An equity lens helps address disparities related to age, income, race, ability, and geography. Together, the Six E's provide a holistic framework for creating safer, more inclusive communities through coordinated and sustained action. Safe Routes to School in Hutchinson In 2025, the City of Hutchinson and the Mid -Minnesota Development Commission (MMDC) began work on an updated Safe Routes to School Plan for the Hutchinson school system. Much has changed since the creation of the 2015 plan, with new projects and developments occurring throughout the district. These include new building projects, school relocation, and shifts in student enrollment. This updated plan will provide an analysis of the current conditions, and allow the SRTS partnership to focus on the most pressing safety issues. This updated Plan extends the scope of the original Plan to include grades K-12, at all five Hutchinson School District campuses. A Safe Routes to School Committee was formed to document and analyze existing conditions, observe walking and bicycling to and from schools, and recommend countermeasures to improve walking and bicycling to and from schools while increasing safety.

The Hutchinson School District and the City of Hutchinson support safe, active transportation for students through infrastructure improvements, enforcement, education, and encouragement. i-1INSDN Hutchinson Community in Focus The City of Hutchinson serves as a regional hub for McLeod County and the surrounding area. Located about 60 miles west of the Twin Cities, Hutchinson is situated at the intersection of three of the area's main highways: MN State Highways 7, 15, and 22. The city is located in the northwestern part of McLeod County. Hutchinson is a thriving community of approximately 14,600 people and is a major commercial, educational and service center for the surrounding rural areas. For decades, Hutchinson has taken a proactive approach to transportation planning, with a strong emphasis on safety and connectivity. Rather than focusing solely on motor vehicle transportation, city staff have consistently implemented planning features to accommodate walkers and bicycle riders of all ages. There are many miles of trails and bikeways with separated or dedicated paths, providing a network that directly connects residential neighborhoods with parks, schools and businesses. Hutchinson is also served by The Luce Line State Trail which also provides a direct trail experience and connection to other trails. The Luce Line provides the base for the local network of low speed urban paths and bikeways. In 2012, Hutchinson was designated a Bronze -level Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists. Since then, the community has worked to build upon that recognition, through ongoing planning and infrastructure projects and through the adoption of the principles of "Complete Streets". Complete Streets is an approach to designing streets that enable safe and efficient travel by all users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, transit riders and drivers. Hutchinson also promotes Bike and Walk to School Day each year, especially during National Bike Month. Each May they promote bike safety and distribute related outreach materials. Since adopting the Hutchinson Transportation Plan in 2012, Hutchinson has been working to make progress on the multi - modal goals of the document. Efforts have included Safe Routes to School planning projects, traffic safety initiatives and a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) planning project, for which Hutchinson received federal funding. Hutchinson City Council members have committed to safety, increased transportation choices, and a community that is pedestrian friendly for all ages and abilities. Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 7 Hutchinson Schools Settings and Travel Environments School Road SW and surrounding Hutchinson roadways provide many opportunities for the incorporation of SRTS- focused engineering of the built environment. The street, spacing of campus buildings, and proximity of the surrounding neighborhoods all support pedestrian and bicycle travel. However, to address the concentration of "drop-off" vehicles along School Road SW and to ensure pedestrian safety, schools and community stakeholders may need to implement improved pedestrian crossings, clearer signage, and continuity along the sidewalks and bicycle paths in this area. Pictured: A Hutchinson student who may rather walk to school. Hutchinson Public School District #423 The Public Schools of Independent School District 423 serve the City of Hutchinson and rural areas surrounding the city. There are five schools located within the District: the High School (grades 9-12), the Middle School (grades 6-8), Park Elementary (grades 4-5), Tiger Elementary (grades 2-3) and West Elementary (K-1). In 2019, Hutchinson High School and Park Elementary underwent a major renovation and addition. In December 2022, renovations and additions to West Elementary and Tiger Elementary addition/renovation projects were completed. For the 2025-2026 school year, total student enrollment is approximately 2,700. The "Minnesota Report Card" shows the 2025 demographic makeup of these schools as follows: Student Ethnicity West Elementary Tiger Elementary Park Elementary Middle School High School White, not Hispanic Origin 81.9% 82.1% 78.7% 84.5% 80.3% Asian/Pacific Islander 1.4% 1.1% .8% .9% 1.5% Hispanic 10.0% 11.5% 15.1% 10.1% 11.4% Black, not of Hispanic Origin .9% .8% .8% .6% 1.4% American Indian 1.6% 1.6% 1.3% .9% 1.5% In the fall of 2025 there were 431 students enrolled in West Elementary, 375 enrolled at Tiger Elementary, 371 at Park, 535 at Middle School and 863 at High School. Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 8 Locations of Current District Buildings Tiger & West Elementary West Elementary serves students attending preschool through first grade. Principal: Bailey Rettman Total enrollment: 431 Tiger Elementary serves grades 2 and 3. Principal: Jennifer Mahan-Deitte Total enrollment: 375 Both West Elementary and Tiger Elementary are located on the southwest side of Hutchinson, along School Road SW. Together, the two connected buildings provide space for early - elementary learning for all students in grades K through 3. School Road SW is a collector street that serves a residential neighborhood. The neighborhood consists of single-family residences situated on low -speed, low -volume local streets. The street pattern in this area, with short blocks and direct connections, minimizes the need for pedestrians to travel on higher -speed arterial streets. It therefore favors pedestrian and bicycle travel to school, especially given many students reside within easy walking distance. ' I The Tiger Elementary and West Elementary sites are directly connected by a length of School ,ti_ IL Road SW, as well as by short onsite walking paths. Because of their proximity, the sites serve as a single school location for families with young students.. Concentrated school use along this short stretch of road produces a consistent stream of pedestrians during morning and afternoon school drop-off and pick-up hours. This has the potential to provide an excellent opportunity and venue for building driver awareness and for implementing any speed -reduction enforcement measures. Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 9 Park Elementary t Serves grades 4 and 5 Principal: Dan Olberg Total enrollment: 371 Park Elementary School is located in a residential s- neighborhood in central Hutchinson, over a mile from the other four Hutchinson campuses. It is bordered by neighborhood streets and is located near several established residential areas. ELEMENTARY 100 The roadway network surrounding Park Elementary includes low -speed, low -volume,'. residential streets, with short block lengths and numerous alternative routes. Such neighborhood configurations are generally pedestrian -friendly and favorable to active transportation, meaning modes of travel such as walking and bicycling that rely on human movement rather than motorized vehicles. They enable students to walk or bike on local streets rather than using high speed arterial routes. Because a significant number of homes are located within a short walking distance of the school, a pedestrian -friendly environment, one that can be regularly used before school, after school and during break times, is fostered. The school site is recessed from the surrounding streets with onsite parking, bus loading courts, and a designated parent drop- off area. While this configuration effectively manages vehicle circulation patterns, it also results in concentrated vehicular activity in and around the main entrance areas during peak hours. To mitigate potential conflicts between pedestrians and motorists, effective pedestrian routes and crossing areas are necessary. While sidewalks are available on streets radiating from the Park Elementary site, their continuity and condition varies from block to block. Park Elementary is also located close to several local parks, churches and shops. The proximity of these amenities can also support walking and biking to school, provided there is adequate pedestrian infrastructure. Unfortunately, some students must cross collector streets or navigate areas with poor sidewalk or lacking pedestrian crossing infrastructure. These challenges, particularly where pedestrian infrastructure intersects with vehicle approaches, make the routes less safe and less inviting for younger travelers and their families. From a SRTS perspective, short distances to homes and a local street network suggest great potential for walking and biking to school for Park Elementary Students. However, conditions on the sidewalks, at a few key intersections, and at the school drives, will all need to be addressed to provide a consistent and safe pedestrian and bicyclist experience. Hutchinson Middle School Serves grades 6, 7 and 8 Principal: Dawn Holtz Total enrollment: 535 Hutchinson Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8, is located in a primary east —west corridor of the community. The school site is located on South Grade Road, a major travel street serving both local and through traffic. While the site provides good regional access, it also has the associated problem of higher motorist speeds and traffic volumes. These factors can create serious challenges for walking and biking. The Middle School site is in close proximity to homes and is also adjacent to three of the other Hutchinson School District campuses, which are connected via walking trails. Some blocks surrounding the middle school site are larger, with wider streets. Here are fewer pedestrian connections in some directions, requiring some children to be driven to school or to walk along a collector street and cross busy arterial roads to access the site. Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 10 The Middle School building is recessed from the major arterial road. The property includes onsite parking, bus loading areas, and a designated parent drop-off area. While the school site separates school traffic from the general public, the large paved areas that are required to accommodate onsite circulation serve to increase the distance between the sidewalk and the building entrances. Although there are segments of sidewalk along surrounding streets, sidewalk path and surface continuity, and crosswalk visibility can vary from one approach to another, limiting pedestrian comfort. While Hutchinson Middle School can be reached from several different directions, there are some locations along sidewalks and surrounding streets that will benefit from pedestrian safety enhancements. Hutchinson High School Serves grades 9, 10, 11 and 12 Principal: Jennifer Telecky Total enrollment: 863 Hutchinson High School is located on the northern end of the four -campus system in Hutchinson, adjacent to residential neighborhoods. Like other district buildings the High School draws some students from nearby homes, however its overall catchment area is large, extending well beyond walking distance for many students. Unlike the elementary campuses, the high school accommodates a substantial number of student drivers. Many students also arrive by bus, which drops off on the east side of the building. Others are dropped off by parents, in the building's front, circular parking lot. Students living in the surrounding neighborhoods —primarily to the east and southeast —often walk to school, though they represent a small minority of the student body. Sidewalks and shared -use paths are present throughout nearby residential areas. However, the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) committee has identified several safety and access gaps around the campus. In particular, many walking students are required to cross busy corridors, such as Roberts Road and School Road. Overall, the high school campus functions in a more auto -oriented environment than the elementary sites. Improving sidewalk continuity, enhancing crosswalk visibility, and strengthening bicycle connections to surrounding neighborhoods would better support students who choose to walk or bike. Given the multiple access points to the campus and the presence of nearby residential areas, targeted pedestrian and bicycle improvements have the potential to both enhance safety and increase the share of students who choose to walk or bike to the Hutchinson High School at least some of the time. Hutchinson School District: SRTS-Related Health & Active Programs 1. Walk! Bike! Fun! bicycle and pedestrian curriculum • Classroom and on -bike instruction on safe walking and bicycling skills. • Focuses on traffic behavior, confidence, and daily physical activity. This curriculum provides structured instruction to helps students understand how to safely travel as pedestrians and bicyclists. By building skills and confidence, it supports long-term active transportation habits and directly aligns with SRTS education goals. 2. Bicycle and pedestrian safety lessons in school • Safety lessons integrated into classroom and/or physical education settings. • Includes street -crossing skills and bicycle traffic laws. These lessons reinforce practical safety knowledge students need when traveling to and from school. Integrating this content into existing classes ensures that all students receive basic pedestrian and bicycle safety education as part of their regular school experience. Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 3. National Walk to School Day participation J • Annual fall event encouraging students to walk to school. • Used to build enthusiasm and awareness for active transportation. Walk to School Day provides a visible, community -wide opportunity to promote active transportation. The event helps normalize walking as a safe and healthy option while allowing families, staff, and community partners to participate together. 4. National Bike to School Day participation • Spring event promoting bicycling to school. • Often paired with safety activities or community events. Bike to School Day encourages students to use bicycles for daily transportation and builds awareness of safe bicycling practices. The event often includes group rides, safety checks, or educational activities that reinforce SRTS messages. 5. Family bicycle safety classes • Community or school -sponsored classes teaching bike safety to students and parents together. • Helps families feel more comfortable allowing children to bike. These classes address both student skills and parent concerns by providing shared instruction. When families understand safe riding practices and local traffic conditions, they are more likely to support walking and bicycling to school. 6. Bike helmet giveaway or reduced -cost helmet programs • Distribution of helmets through schools or community partners. • Often paired with safety education and fitting assistance. Helmet programs remove cost barriers and improve student safety. By pairing distribution with proper fitting and safety education, the program increases helmet use and reduces the risk of head injuries during active travel. 7. Earn -a -Bike or bicycle access programs • Programs where students can earn or receive refurbished bikes. • Often targeted to lower -income families to increase access to active transportation. Access to a bicycle is a key factor in whether students can bike to school. Earn -a -Bike programs improve equity by providing reliable bicycles and basic maintenance knowledge, making active transportation more feasible for all students. 8. School bus safety education • Age -appropriate safety training for students in grades K-10. • Covers boarding, exiting, danger zones, and safe conduct. Bus safety education ensures that students who rely on school transportation travel safely each day. It also reinforces general traffic awareness and safe behavior near roadways and vehicles.

School Road Corridor Study In early 2026, the City of Hutchinson initiated a planning study for the School Road SW corridor, including the segments of School Road used as access routes to the local schools and surrounding neighborhoods. The purpose of the study is to develop an understanding of current and future transportation needs along the School Road SW corridor, specifically between Roberts Road and South Grade Road. Staff members will gather existing information related to the corridor, conduct site observations and meet with various agencies, organizations, and individuals, including the school district, McLeod County, Hutchinson Police Department and neighborhood residents, to determine the needs and concerns related to this route. Based on the needs and concerns gathered, the city will then conduct the planning activities necessary to determine project objectives and develop plan alternatives for School Road's safe and effective accommodation of automobiles, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The plans will be reviewed with the agencies, organizations and individuals. These plans will then be taken to the Hutchinson City Council for final recommendation and for the authorization to move forward with project implementation. J" _- It is anticipated the study will be completed in mid-2026. The information gained will be available for use in the design and construction of any improvements deemed necessary for a safe and functional School Road SW corridor as well as for other future planning. Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 14 Infrastructure Improvements J Improvements to the built environment play a central role in supporting safe, comfortable, and accessible travel to school for students, families, and staff. Thoughtfully designed streets, crossings, and school access points can reduce conflicts, encourage active transportation, and improve overall safety for all users. This plan's infrastructure recommendations are informed by onsite walking and bicycling audits, along with ongoing coordination with the Safe Routes to School Task Force. Additional insight was gathered through conversations with school and district staff, caregivers, students, community members, and local agency partners. Together, these perspectives helped identify barriers to walking and bicycling and shaped potential solutions. Proposed improvements were evaluated and prioritized based on a combination of factors, including observed traffic conditions, roadway design, proximity to school sites, connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods, and the presence of populations that may face greater transportation challenges. This approach ensures that recommended investments are responsive to local conditions and community needs. The infrastructure strategies presented by this plan are not intended to be an exhaustive list of all possible improvements. Instead, they focus on locations where safety concerns, operational challenges, or access issues are most evident. Recommendations range from lower -cost measures, such as signage, pavement markings, and minor curb adjustments, to more substantial changes involving intersections, roadways, and school site access. All recommendations are conceptual and represent planning -level guidance. Additional engineering analysis, coordination, and funding will be required to confirm feasibility, refine designs, and implement projects. Infrastructure Resources Curb extensions Curb extensions are traffic -calming measures that extend the sidewalk into the parking lane at intersections or midblock crossings. This shortens the crossing distance for students, improves visibility between pedestrians and drivers, and slows turning vehicles. Curb Extension in Cosmos, MN Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 15 High -visibility crosswalks These crosswalks use bold, ladder -style, or continental striping that is more noticeable to drivers. They increase driver awareness at pedestrian crossings and are often paired with advance yield markings and school -zone signage. Sidewalk gap closures Many school routes have missing or incomplete sidewalk segments. Filling these gaps will create a more continuous, accessible walking network and prevent students from having to walk in the street or on uneven shoulders. Raised crosswalks or raised intersections Raised crossings elevate the roadway to sidewalk level at key pedestrian locations. This design slows vehicles, increases pedestrian visibility, and provides a more comfortable, accessible crossing for students. Raised crosswalk in St. Paul, MN Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 16 Pedestrian refuge islands Refuge islands are raised medians placed in the center of the road at crossing locations. They allow students to cross one direction of traffic at a time, reducing exposure to vehicles and improving safety on wider or busier streets. Pedestrian Refuge Island in St. Paul, MN Mini-Roudabouts Mini -roundabouts are compact circular intersections with a small, often mountable central island. They slow vehicle speeds and reduce conflict points, improving safety for all users while maintaining traffic flow at intersections. Mini -roundabouts in St. James, MN Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 17 Recommendations 1: South Grade Road at Middle School Bus Exit PRIORITY: Medium EXPENSE: Low RECOMMENDATION Explore placing a trained staff member or volunteer on S Grade Road during morning arrival and afternoon dismissal to help direct vehicle and bus traffic at the Middle School.

Parent Survey The Hutchinson School District conducted a parent survey to help inform this SRTS plan. The goals of the survey were to obtain a snapshot of current transportation patterns to and from school and to gauge parent attitudes toward active modes of transportation (walking and biking) to and from school. The results of the survey will serve as a baseline from which the district can build for any SRTS or related evaluations. The parent survey was a tool provided by the National Center for Safe Routes to School. Full analysis of survey results can be found in the appendix of this plan. Parent Survey Results The district received 342 parent survey responses. The survey responses showed how students were travelling to and from school, gathered information on parent attitudes towards school travel safety, identified conveniences and barriers associated with walking and bicycling, and more. The survey responses have informed this SRTS work. Summary of Parent Survey Results Q1. What school does your child attend? Responses were fairly evenly distributed across the district's five schools, with the largest share from the high school and middle school. Each elementary school represented a similar portion of responses, indicating balanced participation across grade levels and campuses. The total response count for the survey was 342, providing a broad snapshot of travel behaviors and parent perspectives across the district. Which School Does Your Child Attend?

Most parents indicated they would allow independent walking or biking beginning around fifth or sixth grade, with sixth grade receiving the largest share of responses. Fewer parents were comfortable with independent travel at younger grades, while some indicated ninth grade or older. This reflects a general preference for increased independence during the later elementary or early middle school years.

Does your child have access to a bicycle? An overwhelming majority of parents reported that their child has access to a bicycle, with only a small percentage indicating they do not. This suggests that bicycle ownership is not a major barrier to biking to school, and that other factors —such as safety or distance —are more significant influences on travel behavior. Still, from an equity standpoint, it is important to consider whether it might be beneficial to assist households who have financial barriers with bicycle access. Most parents indicated they did not know whether enough bike racks were available, while a smaller portion believed there were enough. Only a small percentage felt there were not enough racks. The high number of "don't know" responses suggests limited awareness or use of bicycle parking at school. Are There Enough Bike Racks at Your Childs School?

How much does your child's school encourage or discourage walking/biking? ~� - Most parents felt the school neither encourages nor discourages walking or biking. A smaller share felt the school encourages it, and very few believed it discourages active transportation. These results suggest the district is generally neutral on the topic, presenting an opportunity for targeted encouragement or programming.

How much fun is walking or biking to or from school? Most parents selected "neutral" when asked how fun walking or biking is for their child, while a smaller share said it was fun or very fun. Only a very small percentage described it as boring.

This works out to 3.1 accidents involving pedestrians per year and 2.5 accidents involving bicyclists per year. Bicycle accidents appear to be evenly distributed throughout Hutchinson, but pedestrian accidents seem to be clustered on and around Highway 15 (Main Street),with about half of the accidents. The analysis shows that of the 31 pedestrian accidents involving motor vehicles, 23 (74%) happened at intersections. .• • Pedestrian accidents 2016-2025 f B" r Bicycle accidents 2016-2025 Current Funding Sources Safe Routes to School activities are supported by funding from federal, state, local and private sources. These funds can be used for infrastructure projects, safety programs, promotional activities, and engineering/planning activities. Combining funding from grants, local sources and collaborations can help achieve SRTS goals. Safe Streets for All (SS4A) Planning Grant In December 2025, Hutchinson won a Safe Streets for All (SS4A) $160,000 grant for planning and engineering services needed to create a Safety Action Plan. The project will include: • The collection and analysis of crash data. • An inventory of infrastructure near locations with recorded collisions and locations noted by law enforcement as having high -crash potential. • Engagement with community members to pinpoint locations of safety concern. Based on the findings, the city will identify a series of countermeasures that would, when implemented, reduce and prevent fatalities and serious injuries to users of all types, including motorists, pedestrians, and bicyclists. The Safety Action Plan will also put Hutchinson in a better, more competitive, position for future funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) which could help fund and implement the safety projects identified. Transportation Alternatives Grant — 8th Avenue Trail Extension In February 2026, Hutchinson was awarded a Transportation Alternatives (TA) grant to implement Recommendation #6: the Eighth Avenue Trail Extension on the east side of the campus complex. This project will fill a critical gap in the trail system, making the school campuses safer and more accessible for students riding and walking to school. Students, staff, and families who walk or bike to school will benefit from a safer route separated from heavier traffic. The project will also improve connectivity to surrounding neighborhoods and create a more continuous non -motorized connection to Tiger Elementary, West Elementary, the Middle School, and the High School. Expanding pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure through projects such as the Eighth Avenue Trail Extension will help Hutchinson advance Safe Routes to School (SRTS) goals while improving safety and accessibility for all users. Hutchinson Safe Routes to School Plan 28 Future Funding Sources J Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) is a federal funding program that supports both infrastructure and non - infrastructure projects designed to improve conditions for nonmotorized transportation, such as walking and bicycling. In Minnesota, the program is administered by MnDOT through the Area Transportation Partnership (ATP) process. Typical school -related projects funded through TAP include sidewalks, shared -use paths, crosswalks, traffic calming measures, and other pedestrian and bicycle improvements. TAP is a competitive federal program that requires a 20 percent local match. School districts and municipalities should coordinate early with MnDOT District staff and their regional planning organization (in Hutchinson's case, Mid -Minnesota Development Commission) to position projects for a potential TAP application and award. Other Transportation Funding Safe Routes to School improvements can often be built into existing projects. Where a street near a school is due for rehabilitation - either major rebuild, minor overlay or safety improvements - pedestrian and bicyclist improvements can often be included as part of the project. Schools, parents, teachers and students should make sure to advise the city, county, or state engineer carrying out the work of SRTS needs and requests, as including these can be possible with the availability of other state and federal funding sources. School District, City, and Other Local Government Funding Local funding from the school district, city, or county may be required for smaller projects, ongoing programs, or to meet local matching requirements for implementation grant eligibility. In -kind contributions of staff time and materials or equipment may also be required from local funding sources or, at a minimum, increase competitiveness. County public health departments with Statewide Health Improvement Partnerships (SHIP) can also be a funding source for promoting physical activity through programs and projects that encourage active transportation, if this is one of their priority areas. Private and Community Funding Local organizations, businesses, and other private donors can be important partners in supporting SRTS activities. Civic groups such as Lions, Kiwanis, Rotary, or similar organizations may contribute funding or volunteer support for specific projects. Foundations, healthcare organizations, and local businesses may also be interested in supporting initiatives that improve safety, health, and community livability. Community -based fundraising can play a role in supporting small projects or elements of larger projects and programs. Schools or parent groups may organize events such as walk-a-thons, bike rides, or other activities that promote the Safe Routes to School message while generating funds. These efforts help build local ownership of the program and reinforce its health and safety benefits.

Approval of Labor Agreement with LELS Agenda Item: Department: Administration LICENSE SECTION Meeting Date: 6/23/2026 Application Complete N/A Contact: Matt Jaunich/Kellie Agenda Item Type: Presenter: Kellie Wendland Reviewed by Staff New Business Time Requested (Minutes): 1 License Contingency N/A Attachments: Yes BACKGROUND/EXPLANATION OFAGENDA ITEM: The current union agreement with our Sergeant's Union (LELS) expired on December 31, 2025. After a negotiation session, the Union agreed to the attached updated Labor Agreement, which is a 3-year contract (2026-2028) with wage re -openers in 2027 and 2028. The agreement is similar to wage increases that non -union employees received except for the fact that it includes a $1.00 per hour adjustment to eligible employees who received an Outstanding Performance review, an Exceeds Expectations Review, or a Solid Performer review in 2025. The negotiating committee felt this was appropriate based off of market data provided during negotiations. Additional changes to the contract include the following: Adding that the Sergeant assigned to the investigative functions will receive an additional $200 month for additional duties with no sunset; got rid of some old language related to a uniform allowance in 2022; got rid of some old language on holiday hours that hadn't included the addition of the Juneteenth holiday; and updated vacation and sick leave/bereavement language to match our updated policy that went into effect back in January of 2024. The negotiating committee, which includes council member Tim Burley and Mayor Forcier, are recommending that the council approve this Labor Agreement.

ARTICLE 7. EMPLOYEE RIGHTS — GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE 7.1 Definition of a Grievance. A grievance is defined as a dispute or disagreement as to the interpretation or application of the specific terms and conditions of this Agreement. 7.2 Union Representatives. The Employer will recognize representatives designated by the Union as the grievance representative(s) of the bargaining unit having the duties and responsibilities established by this Article. The Union shall notify the Employer in writing of the names of such Union representatives and of their successors when so designated. 7.3 Processing of a Grievance. It is recognized and accepted by the Union that the processing of grievances as hereinafter provided is limited by the job duties and responsibilities of the employees and shall, therefore, be accomplished during normal working hours only when consistent with such employee's duties and responsibilities. The aggrieved employee and Union representative(s) shall be allowed a reasonable amount of time without loss in pay when a grievance is investigated and presented to the Employer during normal working hours provided that the employee and the Union representative(s) have notified and received the approval of the designated supervisor who has determined that such absence is reasonable and would not be detrimental to the work programs of the Employer. 7.4 Procedure. Grievances, as defined in SectionT 1, shall be resolved in conformance with the following procedure: Step 1. An employee claiming a violation concerning the interpretation or application of this Agreement shall, within twenty-one (2 1) calendar days after such alleged violation has occurred, present personally or through a Union representative such grievance in writingto the employee's supervisor as designated by the Employer. The employee's supervisor will meet with the employee to discuss the grievance and give a written answer to such Step 1 grievance within twenty-one (2 1) calendar days after the meeting. A grievance not resolved in Step 1 and appealed to Step 2 shall be placed in writing by the Union setting forth the nature of the grievance, the facts on which it is based, the provision or provisions of the Agreement allegedly violated, the remedy requested, and shall be appealed to Step 2 within ten (10) calendar days after the supervisor's final answer in Step 1. Any grievance not appealed in writing to Step 2 by the Union within ten (10) calendar days shall be considered waived. Step 2. If appealed, the written grievance shall be presented by the Union to the Police Chief, and a meeting shall be scheduled as soon as practicable between the Police Chief, the aggrieved employee and the Union to discuss the grievance. The Police Chief shall give the Union the Employer's Step 2 answer in writing within ten (10) calendar days after the Step 2 meeting. A grievance not resolved in Step 2 may be appealed to Step 3 within ten (10) calendar days following the Police Chief's final Step 2 answer. Any grievance not appealed in writing to Step 3 by the Union within ten (10) calendar days shall be considered waived. Step 3. If appealed, the written grievance shall be presented by the Union to the City Administrator, and a meeting shall be scheduled as soon as practicable between the City Administrator, the aggrieved employee and the Union to discuss the grievance. The City Administrator shall give the Union the Employer's answer in writing within ten (10) calendar days after the Step 3 meeting. A grievance not resolved in Step 3 may be appealed to Step 4 within ten (10) calendar days following the City Administrator's final answer in Step 3. Any grievance not appealed in writing to Step 4 by the Union within ten (10) calendar days shall be considered waived. Step 4. If the grievance is not resolved in Step 3 and the Union wishes to appeal the grievance, the Union shall, within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the City Administrator's final answer is Step 3, petition the Bureau of Mediation Services (BMS) for the sole purpose of attempting to resolve the grievance in mediation. If no settlement is reached within twenty-one (21) calendar days following mediation, the Union may appeal to Step 5. Step 5. A grievance unresolved in Step 4 and appealed to Step 5 by the Union shall be submitted to arbitration subject to the provisions of the Public Employment Labor Relations Act of 1971 as amended. The selection of an arbitrator shall be made in accordance with the "Rules Governing the Arbitration of Grievances" as established by the Bureau of Mediation Services. However, a grievance arbitration for written disciplinary action, discharge or termination shall include the arbitrator selection procedures established in Minnesota Statute 626.892. 7.5 Arbitrator's Authority A The arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, nullify, ignore, add to, or subtract from the terms and conditions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall consider and decide only the specific issue(s) submitted in writing by the Employer and the Union and shall have no authority to make a decision on any other issue not so submitted. B. The arbitrator shall be without power to make decisions contrary to, or inconsistent with, or modifying or varying in any way the application of laws, rules, or regulations having the force and effect of law. The arbitrator's decision shall be submitted in writing within thirty (30) days following close of the hearing or the 4 parties agree to an extension. The decision shall be binding on both the Employer and the Union and shall be based solely on the arbitrator's interpretation or application of the express terms of this Agreement and to the facts of the grievance presented. C. The fees and expenses for the arbitrator's services and proceedings shall be borne equally by the Employer and the Union provided that each party shall be responsible for compensating its own representative and witnesses. If either party desires a verbatim record of the proceeding, it may cause such a record to be made, providing it pays for the record and the cost in providing to the other party. If both parties desire a verbatim record of the proceedings, the cost shall be shared equally. 7.6 Waiver.

FYI: March 2026 Hutchinson Housing Market Update f. FYI: Freddie Mac: The 30 year fixed rate mortgage averaged 6.37% this week. Recent data points to slightly better conditions for buyers with a boost in new -home sales, median new -home prices being down to their lowest level since July 2021, and higher inventory than in recent years. Together, these trends could modestly ease affordability pressures through the spring homebuying season. • The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.37% as of May 7, 2026, up from last week when it averaged 6.30%. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 6.76%. • The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 5.72%, up from last week when it averaged 5.64%. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 5.89%. ADJOURNMENT — There being no other business, Johnson-Kotlarz declared the meeting adjourned.
