Copy of the SLA 2. Resolution 26-56 ## Consent Agenda: Yes No X ## Introduction / Background / Justification / Key / Legal Issues: ## On June 2 nd , the Council awarded the bid for the Edgewood Street and Trail Improvement Project. With the award, the project is moving towards a start up the week of July 6 th . While construction is in progress, the city typically contracts with SEH for the construction phase engineering services for the project. These services include, but are not limited to construction administrative services, field representation and review, and staking/survey work as needed. In essence, they provide assurance to the city that the contractors are working to the standards and guidelines as set forth in the contract. They are making sure we get what we pay for, and that the quality of work supports the investment. Since the work is outside of the Master Agreement for Professional Services currently in place with SEH, a supplemental letter agreement is used for the services provided. ## Board Commission / Committee Action: The overall project has been reviewed and supported by the PWC and the full council, this agreement specifically has not been reviewed by the committee. ## Budgetary / Fiscal Impact: The total cost for the SLA is not to exceed $218,900, which is identified in our 2026 Streets CIP and is eligible for MSA reimbursement. ## Action(s) Requested: 1. A motion and second to adopt Resolution 26-56, a Resolution Approving a Supplemental Letter Agreement with SEH for the Edgewood Street and Trail Improvement Project – Construction Services would be appreciated. ## Alternatives: ## 1. Do Not Adopt ## 2.

Traffic study memo from SEH 2. Resolution 26-57 ## Consent Agenda: Yes No X ## Introduction / Background / Justification / Key / Legal Issues: The City received requests to look at the current traffic controls along Third Street, primarily looking at a 4-way stop at Bradley Blvd and Third Street. The topic was discussed at an Exec Session and recommended it go to the Public Works Committee to look into. We reached out to SEH to get a quote for the study. As staff, we have the equipment to do traffic counts, but we do not have video monitoring, so we reached out to SEH to get a quote for the study. While traffic counts are obtained by both our counters and the video study, the video also shows whether vehicles are truly stopping or rolling through intersections as well as the direction they are moving. With the study, we decided to look at the entire stretch of Third Street from Hancock Ave to Edgewood Street. There are three 4-way intersections on the road, the intersections at Forrest Drive, Brenda Blvd and Bradley Blvd. The study shows the heaviest traffic is at Bradley Blvd and Third Street. It also shows five accidents in the past ten years. The traffic counts by themselves do not warrant any changes, but when you take the crashes into account and the fact that the traffic counts on both Third Street and Bradley are similar, it warrants moving the 4-way stop sign from Brenda Blvd & Third Street to Bradley Blvd & Third Street and leaving Forrest Drive & Third Street as is. This topic was also reviewed with the Becker Police Chief, with support given to move forward with the proposed changes. ## Board Commission / Committee Action: This information was discussed at the May PWC meeting, with the review of the memo attached here done at the June PWC meeting. The PWC supports the recommendation and approved staff bringing it to the council for consideration. ## REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION ## MEETING DATE: June 16, 2026 ## CITY COUNCIL ACTION  Approved  Denied  Amended  Tabled ## Budgetary / Fiscal Impact: The cost of the study was $7,800 and was taken from our PW Streets operating budget. The proposed changes, if approved, will be a cost of staff time and a few additional signs, some temporary, to warn of changes to the traffic control on the road, especially the additional stop signs on Third Street at Bradley Blvd. All costs for the signs will come from the operating budget. ## Action(s) Requested: 1.

MN) DATE: June 9, 2026 ## RE: 3rd Street Stop Sign Study SEH No. 187086 14.00 ## INTRODUCTION The City of Becker engaged SEH to review the existing traffic control at three 4-legged intersections along 3 rd Street, including Bradley Boulevard, Brenda Boulevard, and Forrest Drive, and provide recommendations for updating traffic control along 3 rd Street. As part of this review, SEH analyzed intersection volumes, sight distance, crash history, and all-way stop warrants. A location figure showing the three study intersections is provided in Figure 1. ## EXISTING CONDITIONS 3 rd Street is a north-south local roadway that extends from Hancock Street to Edgewood Street in the City of Becker, connecting the single family residences to the north with the commercial and institutional land uses near US 10. 3 rd Street is a two-lane roadway with no dedicated turn lanes and on-street parking on both sides of the roadway throughout the study area. The posted speed limit on 3 rd Street is 30 mph. Bradley Boulevard is an east-west local roadway that extends from US 10 to Sherburne Avenue, providing access to commercial and residential land uses as well as Becker High School. Bradley Boulevard is a two-lane roadway with no dedicated turn lanes. The posted speed limit on Bradley Boulevard is 30 mph. Brenda Boulevard is an east-west local roadway that extends from 1 st ## Street to Joseph Avenue, providing access primarily to single family residences in the study area. Brenda Boulevard is a two-lane roadway with no dedicated turn lanes. The posted speed limit on Brenda Boulevard is 30 mph. Forest Drive is an east-west local roadway that provides access to residential neighborhoods on either side of 3 rd Street. Forrest Drive is a two-lane roadway with no dedicated turn lanes. There is no speed limit posted on Forrest Drive, but a statutory speed limit of 30 mph is assumed. The three study intersections along 3 rd Street all have a single lane for all movements on all four approaches. The Bradley Boulevard and Forrest Drive intersections currently operate under two-way stop control, with Bradley Boulevard and Forrest Drive traffic required to stop. The intersection of 3 rd Street at Brenda Boulevard is currently all-way stop control. ## Sherburne ## County City of ## Becker ## U ## S ## H i g h w a y 1 0 ## S o u t h e a s t ## E d g e w o o d ## S t r e e t ## S o u t h e a s t 1 s t ## S t r e e t ## S o u t h e a s t 2 7 t h ## A v e n u e ## S o u t h e a s t ## R i v e r ## R o a d ## S o u t h e a s t ## Clitty ## Lake ## G r e e n v i e w ## R o a d ## S o u t h e a s t ## B r e n d a ## B o u l e v a r d ## S o u t h e a s t ## E d g e w o o d ## S t r e e t ## S o u t h e a s t 1 s t ## S t r e e t ## S o u t h e a s t ## P a r k v i e w ## D r i v e ## S o u t h e a s t ## B r a d l e y ## B o u l e v a r d ## S o u t h e a s t ## S h e r b u r n e ## A v e n u e ## S o u t h e a s t ## C o u n t y ## R o a d 2 3 ## S o u t h e a s t ## PebbleCreek ## GolfClub ## E n e r g y ## D r i v e ## S o u t h e a s t 3 r d ## S t r e e t ## S o u t h e a s t ## G r u n d ## A v e n u e ## C e n t r a l ## A v e n u e ## S o u t h e a s t ## Becker 3rd St at ## Bradley Blvd ## Becker ## High School 3rd St at ## Brenda Blvd 3rd St at ## Forrest Dr This map is neither a legally recorded map nor a survey map and is not intended to be used as one.

As pa rt of the traffic counts, passe nger vehicles, heavy trucks, pedestrians, and bicyclists were separate d. Based o n the intersection counts, there are three distinct traffic peak hours, which are listed below:  AM Peak Hour – 7:15 to 8:15 AM; overlaps with the Becker High School arrival peak  School Dismissal Peak Hour – 2:45 to 3:45 PM around Becker High School dismissal; highest overall hourly volumes through the day  PM Peak Hour – 4:15 to 5:15 PM Figure 2 shows the daily traffic volumes along each roadway within the study area and summarizes the total approach volumes for each of the three study intersections. The March 2026 count data for the three study intersections can be found in Appendix A. ## Figure 2 – Daily Traffic Volumes ## INTERSECTION SIGHT DISTANCE REVIEW Intersection sight distance (ISD) is the amount of distance that a stopped driver on the minor road needs to see along the major road to safely make a turning movement. This distance depends on the design speed of the major road and the type of turning movement. All three study intersections have a 30 MPH design speed and are full-access four-way intersections with two-way or all-way stop control. In this case, Table 6:5-2.02C of the MnDOT Field Design Guide (FDG) states that 335’ of ISD is necessary to safely complete turning movements at each of the three study intersections. ## 3rd Street Stop Sign Study June 9, 2026 Page 4 ISD is typically measured either 8 feet back from the stop bar or 14.5 feet back from the curb of the intersecting street, however, for this study ISD was also reviewed as vehicles pulled up to the curb to make their movement, as is typical for drivers on stop-controlled approaches. ISD was measured looking both directions at all four approaches of the three study intersections to ensure adequate sight distance for all approaches should they be two-way stop-controlled. At all-way stop controlled intersections, drivers just need to be able to see vehicles as they stop on the other approaches. A summary of the sight distance review can be found in Table 1. Under existing conditions, each intersection has a sight some sight distance obstructions from 14.5 feet back from the curb where they are expected to stop. However, most obstructions are clear of the driver’s view as they pull up to the curb to make their turn. The only significant sight distance obstruction is a group of large pine trees on the northwest corner of the intersection 3 rd ## Street at Brenda Boulevard. The trees do not present an issue under the current all-way stop control because drivers can see if vehicles are stopped on the other approaches before making their maneuver but would present issues if the intersection were converted to two-way stop control. ## 3rd Street Stop Sign Study June 9, 2026 Page 5 ## Table 1 – Intersection Sight Distance Review ## Intersection ## Intersection ## Leg ## Looking Left Looking Right 335' sight distance? ## Available ## Sight ## Distance ## Obstructions 335' sight distance? ## Available ## Sight ## Distance ## Obstructions 3rd St at ## Forrest Dr ## North ## Y 400' Fence/free (NE quadrant); >500 when pulling up ## N 200' Tree & fence; curvature is obstruction, 335' with pulling up South Y >500'None Y 340' Tree & fence; >500' when pulling up (SE quadrant) East Y >500'None Y 400' Trees, general curbside use; pulling up doesn’t help West Y 400' Trees; general curbside use ## N 250' Fence with covering, curvature of road; 400' with pulling up 3rd St at ## Brenda ## Blvd ## North N 250' Curvature of road N75' Pine trees at NW quadrant are major obstruction South Y >500'None Y 400' Curvature of roadway East Y >500'None N 300' >500' with pul ling up, roadway obstruct s ## West N50' 500' with pulling up, tree is major obstruction ## Y 450' >500' with pul ling up, gene ral curbside use 3rd St at ## Bradley ## Blvd ## North ## Y >500' ## Tree on NE quadrant ## N 100' ## Trees on NW quadrant; >500' with pulling up South Y 335' ## Trees on SW quadrant ## Y >500' ## Trees on SE quadrant East Y >500'None Y 335' ## Trees on NE quadrant West N 150' ## Trees on NW quadrant; >500' with pulling up ## Y 335' ## Trees on SW quadrant, >500' if driver pulls up ## 3rd Street Stop Sign Study June 9, 2026 Page 6 ## SAFETY ANALYSIS AND CRASH DIAGRAMS The most recent 10 years of crash data, from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2025, was obtained from the MnDOT Crash Mapping Analysis Tool (MnCMAT2). The type and severity of the crashes were reviewed. Crash rates and critical rates were calculated for each study intersection. The crash rate at each intersection is expressed as the number of crashes per million entering vehicles (MEV). The critical crash rate is a statistical value that is unique to each intersection and is based on vehicular exposure and the statewide average crash rate for similar intersections. An intersection with a crash rate higher than the critical rate can indicate a safety concern at the intersection and the site should be reviewed. Crash severity is separated into five categories based on injuries sustained during the crash.  Fatal – Crash that results in a death  Severity A – Crash that results in an incapacitating injury or serious injury  Severity B – Crash that results in a non-incapacitating injury or minor injury  Severity C – Crash that results in possible injury  Property Damage – Crash that results in property damage only, with no injuries The intersection of 3 rd Street at Bradley Boulevard had five reported crashes during the 10-year analysis period and has a crash rate that exceeds the calculated critical rate, indicating a safety concern. All five crashes were property damage only. Four of the five crashes were right angle crashes, which were the result of a vehicle from the Bradley Boulevard approaches failing to yield to southbound 3 rd Street traffic. One of the right angle crash narratives mentions that the driver believed the intersection was an all-way stop and did not believe they needed to yield to 3 rd Street traffic. A crash diagram for the intersection of 3 rd Street at Bradley Boulevard is provided in Figure 3. The Brenda Boulevard and Forrest Boulevard crashes did not have any reported crashes during the 10- year analysis period. The crash information for the three study intersections is summarized in Table 2.

This MnMUTCD guidance is provided in the form of “warrants,” or criteria, for when all-way stop control may be justified. Though all-way stop control is generally not installed at an intersection unless a MnMUTCD warrant is met, meeting a warrant at an intersection does not in itself require the installation of that control. Intersections with unwarranted all-way stop control can lead to stop compliance issues, especially if volumes are low enough that drivers become accustomed to not having to stop for another vehicle at the intersection. For an all-way stop control installation, the study reviewed the minimum volume criteria outlined in the MnMUTCD (Chapter 2B.7). This criteria states that for any 8 hours of the day, the combined major approach volumes and combined minor approach volumes should be at or greater than the volume thresholds. An engineering study that considers factors, including warrants, should be performed to determine the “best” type of control at an intersection. MnMUTCD guidelines suggest that the all-way stop warrant thresholds may be reduced based on the roadway speeds. If either major approach to the intersection has a posted speed, or 85 th percentile speed, that exceeds 40 mph, then a reduction to 70% threshold volumes is allowed in the all-way stop warrant. Based on the MnMUTCD guidance, the warrant analyses does not include the reduction because the posted speed limit on 3 rd Street is 30 mph. Based on the all-way stop warrant analysis, none of the intersections meet the all-way stop volume thresholds for a single hour of the day. Table 3 provides the all-way stop warrant summary for existing 2026 conditions. The complete all-way stop warrant analysis can be found in Attachment C. ## Table 3 – All-way Stop Warrant Summary ## Intersection: ## All-Way Stop ## Warrant ## Third Street at ## Forrest Drive ## Not Met 0 of 8 hours ## Third Street at ## Brenda Boulevard ## Not Met 0 of 8 hours ## Third Street at ## Bradley Boulevard ## Not Met 0 of 8 hours ## RECOMMENDATION Based on the analysis summarized in this memorandum, the following is recommended for the three study intersections along 3 rd Street. 3 rd ## Street at Forest Drive  Maintain the existing two-way stop control Sight distance at the intersection is adequate assuming vehicles pull up to the curb. No reported crashes over the 10-year analysis period (2016 to 2025). Does not meet all-way stop warrants. ## 3rd Street Stop Sign Study June 9, 2026 Page 9 3 rd ## Street at Brend Boulevard  Convert the intersection to two-way street stop control with Brenda Boulevard traffic being required to stop and trim back pine trees on the northwest corner to improve intersection sight distance.  No reported crashes over the 10-year analysis period (2016 to 2025).  Does not meet all-way stop warrants. 3 rd ## Street at Bradley Boulevard  Convert the intersection to all-way stop control  Despite not meeting all-way stop warrants, traffic volumes are fairly similar between all intersection roadways, with higher peak volumes during school arrival and dismissal for Becker High School.  All-way stop addresses existing right-angle crash concern. The existing crash rate exceeds the calculated critical rate. Figure 4 shows the recommended signing changes along 3 rd Street, including temporary signage for the changes in traffic control. ## Attachments: ## Appendix A: Intersection Turning Movement Counts ## Appendix B: All-way Stop Warrant Analysis x:\ae\b\beckr\187086\8-planning\3rd street stop warrant study\87-report\becker 3rd st stop sign study memo_06092026.docx ## Appendix A – Intersection Turning Movement Counts ## Location: ## Count Date: ## Counted By: Start Time Left Thru RightPed/BikeLeft Thru RightPed/BikeLeft Thru RightPed/BikeLeft Thru RightPed/BikeInt.

Letter from County Administrator ## Consent Agenda: Yes No X ## Introduction/Background/Justification/Key Issues/Legal Issues The County Administrator, Bruce Messelt’s letter provides background on the history of the early warning sirens. The County will maintain the sirens until the end of 2026, but the City was informed that it had until the end of June to notify the County if it wants to have the sirens removed at the same time the County is removing sirens in other jurisdictions. After the end of June, the City will be responsible for the cost to remove the sirens if City does not want them. The estimated annual cost for just operating the sirens is $2,160 to $2,880; any maintenance or other costs would be above that. Staff believes that due to the ongoing cost, and alternatives sources that people now have to receive emergency notifications, the sirens are no longer needed and should be removed. ## Board Commission / Committee Action: None. ## Budgetary / Fiscal Impact: No cost to remove the sirens. Significant ongoing expenses if the city takes ownership of the sirens. ## Action(s) Requested: 1. Staff requests the council approve a motion by simple majority to notify the county that the city does not wish to take ownership of the sirens in Becker, and to have them removed at the same time as other sirens are being removed throughout the County. ## Alternatives: 1. Do not adopt 2. Table for more information 3.

Pursuant to City Code, the city is authorized to issue a maximum of two cannabis retail business registrations, separate from lower potency hemp edible registrations. Retail registrations are issued on a first-complete basis to the first two applicants that submit the required local registration fee, provide proof of a valid state cannabis retail license, and satisfy all applicable city requirements. This application represents the second cannabis retail registration submitted to the city meeting those criteria. The city has received a complete application for a new Cannabis Microbusiness License Registration from Mary Pot’Ins LLC, to be located at 12990 1 st Street, Becker, MN 55308. ## Key Application Details • License Type: A Cannabis Microbusiness license issued by the State of Minnesota allows limited cannabis business activities as authorized under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 342. This application is specifically for the retail location only within the city. • Registration Fees: The registration fee is locally established by the city in accordance with Minnesota Statutes Chapter 342, which authorizes a maximum fee of $500 for initial registration and $1,000 for annual renewal per location. The applicant has submitted the required $500 initial registration fee. • Term of Registration: Cannabis retailer registrations do not follow the city’s standard calendar- year licensing cycle. Instead, each registration is valid from its approval date through the expiration date of the retailer’s annual state license. Cannabis registrations must be renewed annually by their expiration date. ## REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION ## MEETING DATE: June 16, 2026 ## CITY COUNCIL ACTION  Approved  Denied  Amended  Tabled ## Staff Review & Recommendation Staff have verified that there are no delinquent taxes or utility charges associated with the property, and that the business entity is active and in good standing with the Minnesota Secretary of State.

Any qualified agent/agency can serve as the city’s agent. Corporate Four has been the city’s insurance agency for many years, and the city has been satisfied with the service that they provide. After local agents expressed interest in working with the city, the council approved an RFP for insurance agent services at the April 21 st meeting. A total of four proposals were received from the following agencies: Corporate Four, North Risk Partners, Christensen Group and Steil Insurance. Staff reviewed the proposals, noting that all were well qualified, and decided to invite Christensen Group and Steil Insurance for an in-person interview. Upon completion of the interview, staff consensus was to proceed with designating Steil Insurance Services, Inc. as the city’s insurance agent. Steil Insurance representatives are knowledgeable in working with LMCIT, were passionate in their expectations of service delivery, and are heavily involved within the city, with a local office on Bank Street. ## Board Commission / Committee Action: ## None ## Budgetary / Fiscal Impact: There was no cost to the city to go through an RFP process.

Many mitigation efforts have been deployed with minimal impact on the existing population. In 2025, Pebble Creek Golf Club partnered with USDA for removal of the goose population. We are recommending continuing with that program for the period of 2026, 2027 and 2028. It has been the experience of other properties that a dedicated annual effort has had the most effective impact on the population. ## Board Commission / Committee Action: Goose Management has been discussed at golf committee and the committee is in favor of staff to enter into the agreement with the USDA as presented. ## Budgetary / Fiscal Impact: Based on the cooperative service agreement, costs should not exceed $7,800 in any year covered in the agreement. The expense will be funded from the Pebble Creek operating budget. ## Action(s) Requested: 1.

The APHIS WS program uses an Integrated Wildlife Damage Management (IWDM) approach (sometimes referred to as IPM or “Integrated Pest Management”) in which a series of methods may be used or recommended to reduce wildlife damage. These methods include the alteration of cultural practices as well as habitat and behavioral modification to prevent damage. However, controlling wildlife damage may require that the offending animal(s) are killed or that the populations of the offending species be reduced. ## Program Objective To assist (Cooperator) in managing large concentrations of Canada geese that are damaging property and causing nuisance and public health concerns due to fecal contamination. ## Plans of Action Signature of the Agreement authorizes APHIS-WS to act on behalf of the cooperator for permitted activities. APHIS-WS was requested by the Pebble Creek Golf Club to conduct a Canada goose round-up project, if necessary, to reduce the negative impacts with Canada geese on the cooperator’s site(s). APHIS-WS will conduct a Canada goose round-up under the authority of a USFWS permit and a State of Minnesota-Department of Natural Resources permit, issued to APHIS-WS. APHIS-WS will dispose of all geese removed in accordance with Federal and State requirements. APHIS-WS will comply with all necessary recordkeeping requirements, including compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act. APHIS-WS will make a single attempt to round-up and remove as many Canada geese as possible. It shall be understood that APHIS-WS may not capture all the Canada geese on the property, and that more geese may arrive after the round-up. An integrated wildlife damage management plan will best address the presence of Canada geese at the cooperator’s location now and/or in the future. It should be noted that if additional measures are not taken by the Cooperator, it is likely that Canada geese will continue to use the area, even if APHIS-WS removes all the geese on the property during the round-up. If requested, and funding remains, APHIS-WS can attempt removal of remaining geese post round-up utilizing methods of APHIS-WS choice. The number of site visits and control visits provided may be altered to ensure that funding expenditures do not exceed the amount established in the Financial Plan of this document. 7 ## FINANCIAL PLAN June 1 st , 2026 – December 31 st , 2026 ## Cost Element Full Cost ## Personnel Compensation $4,805.31 Travel $0.00 ## Vehicle Use/Maintenance $500.00 Supplies/Equipment $200.00 Subtotal (Direct Charges) $5,505.31 ## Pooled Job Costs 11.00%$605.58 ## Indirect Costs 16.15%$889.11 Estimated 2026 Total $7,000.00 The distribution of the budget from this Financial Plan may vary as necessary to accomplish the purpose of this agreement but may not exceed $7,000.00 for the period June 1 st , 2026, through December 31 st , 2026.
