Mr. Portner stated that various staff would work together once the project was closer to completion. Councilmember Wagner did not feel that the mid-century design elements were a good fit for Elk River.

Councilmember Grupa asked that Councilmember Beyer have an opportunity to comment on the design decisions. Mayor Dietz asked for a timeline of construction. Mr. Stremcha said the goal was to break ground in early summer. Mr. Stremcha stated the design plan would be refined and come back to the Council. 10.3 Universal Changing Table Initiative Councilmember Calva presented information on Universal changing tables, which provide an inclusive option for older children through adults.

Councilmember Calva commented that additional trees were difficult for plow drivers to navigate in winter.

Moved by Councilmember Wagner and seconded by Councilmember Grupa to adjourn the meeting of City Council. Motion carried 4-0.

Change in shifts initiated by the Employee, special detail, special projects, and other non -regular shifts do not qualify for this provision. 0 Page 56 of 270 ARTICLE 12. OVERTIME 12.1 Employees will be compensated at one and one-half (11/2) times the Employee's regular base pay rate for hours worked in excess of the Employee's regularly Scheduled Shift. Changes of shifts do not qualify an Employee for Overtime under this Article. 12.2 Overtime will be distributed as equally as practicable. 12.3 Overtime refused by Employees will, for record purposes under Article 12.2, be considered as unpaid Overtime worked. 12.4 For the purpose of computing Overtime compensation, overtime hours worked shall not be pyramided, compounded, or paid twice for the same hours worked. 12.5 Overtime will be calculated to the nearest fifteen (15) minutes. 12.6 Employees have the obligation to work Overtime or call backs as requested by the Employer unless unusual circumstances prevent the employee from so working.

COURT TIME A regular full time Employee who is required to appear in Court during the Employee's scheduled off -duty time shall receive a minimum of three (3) hours' pay at one and one-half (1 1/2) times the Employee's base pay rate. An extension or early report to a regularly Scheduled Shift does not qualify the regular full time Employee for the three (3) hour minimum.

If court is cancelled with less than 24-hours' notice the regular full time Employee is eligible for a minimum payment of one and one-half hours (1 1/2) of pay. Under no circumstances will the regular full time Employee be eligible to receive both the one and one-half hours (1 1/2) court cancellation pay outlined in this paragraph and the three (3) hours' pay rate for court appearances as outlined in the preceding paragraph. The Employee maintains the ultimate responsibility for case schedule. A regular, full-time Employee subpoenaed or scheduled to appear in court as the result of a law enforcement event relating to a previous law enforcement employer shall, upon twenty-four (24) hours' notice, be switched to an administrative shift for the period expected to attend court. The Employee shall return to his/her previous shift schedule upon conclusion of the court's requirements. ARTICLE 14. INSURANCE See Appendix A. 7 Page 57 of 270 ARTICLE IS.

Background/Discussion On July 18, 2025, the TH 169 sanitary sewer lift station failed, causing a sewer backup into eight homes along Yale Street NW in Elk River. Upon discovery and correction, wastewater staff contacted each of the property owners and directed them to our property/casualty insurer to file claims. The Council met with many of the homeowners on August 20, 2025, and heard their concerns regarding the claim submittal process and repair/replacement at actual cost value. Of the eight property owners, one did not file a claim for loss with the city insurer, League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LCMIT). Three property owners had sewer backup coverage on their homeowner's insurance and had cleanup/repairs completed at full replacement value. Four property owners did not have additional coverage and had replacement/repairs at actual cash value, which included depreciated claims between $989.00 and $13,255.00. On January 20, 2026, following the closeout of each of the claims and the release of claim waivers completed with the LMCIT, the Council discussed bringing the four property owners without additional coverage to full replacement value. The consensus was to do so. Financial Impact The total depreciated claim amounts to $19,240.94, which will be paid through the Wastewater Fund. Mission/Policy/Goal Elk River Mission Statement.

Background/Discussion The city executed land purchase agreements with Coborn's Inc. and Coborn's Land Company on October 22, 2025, with closing to occur on or before March 6, 2026. The purchase entailed two parcels, one for Lot 2, Block 2, Hillside Crossing, and the other for a portion of Lot I, Block 2, Hillside Crossing. The portion to be divided from Lot I was described by a vague depiction and has since been surveyed. A true and accurate legal description has now been provided for that additional area. The amendment with Coborn's Inc incorporates the legal description into the agreement and ensures the deeds can be prepared properly. Additionally, there are existing encumbrances on the property to be resolved before closing, including a mortgage release and addressing existing easements on the property. To allow sufficient time to resolve these, this amendment extends the closing to April 8, 2026. This timing does not affect projected construction timelines.

Dietz, Mayor ATTEST: Jolene Richter, Deputy City Clerk Page 164 of 270 Request for Action City of Elk River To City Council Meeting Date March 2, 2026 Item Number 7.2 Prepared By Zack Carlton, Community Development Director Item Description Reviewed by Ordinance Amendment 26-06 and Conditional Use Chris Leeseberg Permit: Educational Use, Good Shepherd Lutheran Cal Portner High School - 630 Freeport Ave NW Jolene Richter Action Requested Adopt, by motion, Ordinance 26-06 adding Educational Institutions as a Conditional Use in the MU-ERP zoning district, Sec. 30-1583. Approve, by motion, the Conditional Use Permit approving the Educational Use, subject to the following conditions: I. The City Council must adopt an ordinance adding Educational Institutions as a Conditional Use in the MU- ERP zoning district. 2. Architectural plans will need to be reviewed by the MN Department of Labor and Industry prior to submitting for city building permits. 3. The accessible route and bathroom access for suites 600 and 700 must be updated to comply with the state building code. 4. All costs associated with potential address changes of affected tenants will be the responsibility of the property owner and/or applicant. 5. Any expansion of the school will require an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit. Background/Discussion The Planning Commission reviewed the Conditional Use (CUP) on February 24, 2026. The Commission first reiterated its support for an Interim Use Permit (IUP) rather than a CUP. The Commission continues to support its recommendation to add Educational Institutions as an allowed use to the MU-ERP zoning district. There was also some discussion on recommending denial of the CUP application, as they have concerns about allowing the use with a CUP. The Commission continued its review of the CUP application and recommended approval of the application subject to the conditions outlined in the memo. The motion also asked staff to discuss the merits of an IUP vs. a CUP with the city attorney. With the additional information, they ask the council to holistically review the application and consider permitting the use as an Interim Use. Staff spoke with the city attorney, who noted that this is not a restriction in state law or city code that would prohibit the city from allowing Educational Institutions as an Interim Use in the subject zoning district. Staff and the city attorney both agree that an IUP is not an appropriate designation for a school.

An IUP is typically reserved for uses that do not have a true long-term compatibility with the area or zoning district. If the City Council supports the use as an Interim Use, they could make that motion based on the current ordinance amendment application. Their CUP application would have to be denied, as it has not been reviewed or considered as an IUP. Staff have discussed the next steps with the applicant if an IUP is supported. An IUP application could be brought forward for Council consideration as soon as April 6, 2026. Financial Impact None Mission/Policy/Goal Ethical, efficient, and responsible.

Item 7.2 Handout From Applicant Page 166 of 270 Request for Action City of Elk River To Planning Commission Meeting Date February 24, 2026 Item Description Conditional Use Permit: Educational Institution, Good Shepherd Lutheran High School — 630 Freeport Ave NW Item Number 6.1 Prepared By Zack Carlton, Community Development Director Reviewed by Chris Leeseberg Action Requested Recommend, by motion, approval of the conditional use permit allowing an Educational Institution in the MU- ERP district, subject to the following conditions: I. The City Council must adopt an ordinance adding Educational Institutions as a Conditional Use in the MU- ERP zoning district. 2. Architectural plans will need to be reviewed by the MN Department of Labor and Industry prior to submitting for city building permits. 3. The accessible route and bathroom access for suites 600 and 700 must be updated to comply with the state building code. 4. All costs associated with potential address changes of affected tenants will be the responsibility of the property owner and/or applicant. 5. Any expansion of the school will require an amendment to the Conditional Use Permit. Background/Discussion The applicant, Good Shepherd Lutheran High School, has requested approval of a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to establish an Educational Institution (school) at 630 Freeport Ave NW. The school use is not currently allowed in the zoning district, and prior to full approval, the City Council must adopt an ordinance that permits the use for the subject site. Without this approval, the CUP cannot be approved. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 24, 2026. The full meeting summary is included in the attached City Council staff report dated February 17, 2026. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Planning Commission voted unanimously to add Educational Institutions as an Interim Use in Subzone C of the MU-ERP zoning district. The Commission also continued the CUP discussion to February 24, 2026, Since the Planning Commission, staff and the city attorney have discussed the action from the commission meeting and do not believe that classifying a school as an interim use is appropriate. Conditional Use Permits are for ongoing uses, like schools, business, government facilities, etc. However, Interim Use Permits (IUPs) are used for temporary/short-term needs of a specific property. Examples from past activities in the city include temporary classroom trailers, short-term use of a single-family home for multifamily uses, parking lots for model homes, compost sites, and home occupations. A school is generally a long-term use that should receive the benefit of surety that a CUP provides rather than a definitive end date included with an IUP. The Elk River Vision A avelcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and community p p W E H E 0 A T engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity INMURfd270 The City Council held a public hearing on February 17, 2026, to receive public comments on the ordinance amendment. The City Council continued the public hearing to March 2, 2026, where they will again receive testimony on the ordinance amendment and the CUP applications. As the Planning Commission has already made a recommendation regarding the ordinance amendment, the remaining discussion will relate to the CUP. Site and Building Plans The proposed use is located within an existing building that is currently served by city sewer and water. No exterior modifications to the building or site are proposed. The school is approximately 19,000 square feet and includes space for classrooms, gym/recreation, office, and cafeteria. Plans indicate that the space will be separated from other uses within the building, which does impact suites 600 and 700. Currently, these units utilize the bathrooms that are within the proposed school and the accessible route from the front door may also be impacted. To ensure that these units continue to meet state building codes, staff have included a condition that the plans for suites 600 and 700 must be updated within our building files. As a result of the proposed plan, the established addresses of the building/tenants will no longer work. All costs associated with potential address changes of affected tenants will be the responsibility of the property owner and/or applicant. The site had previously been used for a movie theater and has ample parking available to support the school use, even at full capacity of 120 students, where 46 stalls would be required. Applicable Regulations The issuance of a Conditional Use Permit can be ordered only if the use at the proposed location: I. Will not endanger, injure or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. The school will operate entirely within an existing commercial structure. No outdoor modifications or uses are proposed. Hours of operation are consistent with other commercial uses in the area. The proposed use will not endanger, injure, or detrimentally affect the use and enjoyment of nearby properties or the public health, safety, morals, comfort, convenience, or general welfare of the neighborhood or the city. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 2. Will be consistent with the comprehensive plan. The property is guided for Highway Business uses, which primarily consists of a mix of auto -oriented retail and service businesses, restaurants, and community- and regional -scale shopping centers. Highway business uses are located along Highway 169 and Highway 10 and have high visibility from these corridors. The use is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan as the City Council has determined that the educational use is appropriate for the commercial district. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 3. Will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant property. As there are no vacant properties in the area, the site is already developed, and the proposed use does not require changes that would limit future development options for adjacent parcels, the proposed use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding vacant or developed properties. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 4. Will be served adequately by and will not adversely affect essential public facilities and services including streets, Page 168 of 270 police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water and sewer systems, parks and schools; and will not, in particular, create traffic congestion or interference with traffic on adjacent and neighboring public thoroughfares. The proposed use is low -intensity and will not generate traffic inconsistent with a commercial area. Adequate on -site parking is provided, and traffic access will not cause congestion or interfere with adjacent public roadways. The site is adequately served by existing public facilities and services, including streets, police and fire protection, drainage, refuse disposal, water, and sanitary sewer systems. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. S. Will not involve uses, activities, processes, materials, equipment and conditions of operation that will be detrimental to any persons or property because of excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust or vibrations. The proposed use will not involve activities, materials, or conditions of operation that would be detrimental to persons or property due to excessive traffic, noise, smoke, fumes, glare, odors, dust, or vibrations. All education activities will be conducted during normal business hours. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 6. Will not result in the destruction, loss or damage of a natural, scenic or historic feature of major importance. No site work is being proposed. The proposal will not result in the destruction, loss, or damage of any natural, scenic, or historic feature of major importance, as no site alterations or land disturbance are proposed. Staff do not see a need to impose specific conditions to satisfy this standard. 7. Will fully comply with all other requirements of this Code, including any applicable requirements and Standards for the issuance of a license or permit to establish and operate the proposed use in the city. The proposed use will comply with all applicable requirements of the City Code, including zoning regulations permitting, subject to compliance with the conditions of approval outlined below. Staff have included three conditions to ensure the use is permitted in the zoning district and that it does not impact the operation of other uses within the building. Financial Impact None.

Attachments City Council Staff report dated 2-17-2026 Page 169 of 270 Request for Action City of Elk River To City Council Meeting Date February 17, 2026 Item Description Ordinance Amendment and Conditional Use Permit: Educational Use, Good Shepherd Lutheran High School — 630 Freeport Ave NW Item Number 7.4 Prepared By Zack Carlton, Community Development Director Reviewed by Jared Shepherd Cal Portner Jolene Richter Action Requested Direct staff to prepare an ordinance adding Educational Institutions as an allowed use in the MU-ERP zoning district for consideration on March 2, 2026. or Direct staff to prepare a resolution making findings of fact denying the requested ordinance amendment for consideration on March 16, 2026. and Continue the public hearing for the Conditional Use Permit request to March 2, 2026, as the Planning Commission has not made a recommendation. The Planning Commission will review the application on February 24, 2026. Background/Discussion The applicant, Good Shepherd Lutheran High School, has requested adoption of an ordinance amendment that would add Educational Institutions as a conditional use in the Mixed Use Elk River Plaza (MU-ERP) zoning district. The zoning district is a former Planned Unit Development (PUD) district that had the PUD agreement added to city codes in 2010. The zoning district is divided into three separate areas: multifamily residential, single-family residential, and commercial. Each of these areas are distinct in their location within the district and act as separate districts with their own allowed uses. The proposed amendment would apply to the commercial section as the proposed building site is within the commercial section of the MU-ERP zoning district. Commercial districts, especially those along major highways, support retail and commercial uses, providing employment and economic opportunities throughout the community. Educational uses do not appear to support the goals of commercial districts, and based on that analysis, staff do not recommend approval of the amendment. The associated Conditional Use Permit (CUP) application cannot be approved without the ordinance amendment. The Elk River Vision A avelcoming community with revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and community p p W E H E 0 B engagement that encourages and inspires prospertINMURd270i Planning Commission The Planning Commission held a public hearing on January 27, 2026. The Planning Commission discussed the pros and cons of having a school in the commercial district. They discussed the way different commercial uses compliment each other when located close to one another, the conflicts with tobacco and liquor sales, and whether a school use in the district would limit allowed businesses from locating in the area. The applicant, Melissa Lamkin, noted that she was the director of the school and believes the school would have a positive impact on the community. She shared their growth potential in expanding from the current enrollment of 32 students up to 120 students in the proposed space. She also noted that their goal is to eventually own their own building and property. When asked by a commissioner about locating in a commercial district, she stated this would be an opportunity to impact nearby businesses and learn from the business owners. Additionally, numerous individuals spoke in support of the school and the ordinance amendment. They believe the school is a great benefit to the community, that it will help attract new residents, and that it may benefit the nearby businesses by bringing more people to the area daily and providing students with places to eat near the school. Adam Price, the building owner, also spoke in support of the application, stating that in his opinion, the use could be classified as a religious institution which is already allowed in the district. A nearby business owner questioned how the property tax would be calculated if a school moved into the building. His concern was that it would reduce the taxes and create a precedent for other commercial building owners to follow and reduce their property tax bill. He stated that in speaking with the Sherburne County Assessor, tenants can appeal the tax class to be tax-exempt. The Planning Commission then closed the public hearing and discussed allowing the use as an Interim Use, rather than a Conditional Use. They noted that the current lease was for I 0-years and that an IUP could be tied to the lease. The commissioners quickly supported the idea of amending the ordinance to allow schools as an interim use, noting that the current application was only signing a I 0-year lease. Staff noted that applicants would have the right, in the future, to apply for an amendment to an approved Interim Use Permit (IUP), allowing expansion of the allowed space or a time extension. The Planning Commission voted unanimously to add Educational Institutions as an Interim Use in Subzone C of the MU-ERP zoning district. They also continued the CUP discussion to February 24, 2026, pending the City Council's action on the ordinance amendment. Since the Planning Commission, staff and the city attorney have discussed the action from the commission meeting and do not believe that classifying a school as an interim use is appropriate. Conditional Use Permits (CUPS) are for ongoing uses, like schools, business, government facilities, etc. However, Interim Use Permits (IUPs) are used for temporary/short term needs of a specific property. Examples from past activities in the city include temporary classroom trailers, short-term use of a single-family home for multifamily uses, parking lots for model homes, compost sites, and home occupations. A school is generally a long-term use that should receive the benefit of surety that a CUP provides rather than a definitive end date included with an IUP. Staff continue to recommend denial of the ordinance amendment to allow Educational Institutions in the MU- ERP zoning district. The city does not have a large supply of available commercial spaces and the existing commercial areas should be preserved to provide opportunity for new and expanding commercial ventures within the city. Additionally, while staff fully support education and want to see a variety of educational opportunities within the community, the expected growth from the specific use may push them beyond the current leased space and into nearby commercial spaces as they become available. Further expanding an initially small footprint in a district that generally does not support schools is very similar to the experience the city experienced with the growth of Spectrum School. Their use began in one building in the industrial Page 171 of 270 park, as a temporary use until they could find their own property and building, and now occupies three separate buildings for a total of 140,000 SF of industrial/business park space. Recommended Action Staff recommend denial of the ordinance amendment as the proposed use is not consistent with the commercial district. If the City Council supports the amendment, staff recommends allowing the use as a Conditional Use as it is the most appropriate way to allow educational institutions in the district. Whichever direction the City Council chooses, staff will return on March 2nd with the ordinance amendment document or March 16 with a resolution of denial for adoption. Finally, the CUP application is still under review. The Planning Commission did not review or discuss the CUP specifics and continued their discussion to February 24, 2025. The City Council may not take action on that application and in order to provide an expedient resolution for the applicant, staff recommend continuing the public hearing to March 2, 2026.

Recommend, by motion, denial of a Conditional Use Permit for an Educational Institution as it is not an allowed use in the MU-ERP zoning district. Background/Discussion The applicant, Good Shepherd Lutheran High School, has requested adoption of an ordinance amendment that would add Educational Institutions as a conditional use in the Mixed Use Elk River Plaza (MU-ERP) zoning district. The zoning district is a former Planned Unit Development (PUD) district that had the PUD agreement added to city codes in 2010. The zoning district is divided into three separate areas: multifamily residential, single-family residential, and commercial.

The associated Conditional Use Permit application cannot be approved without the ordinance amendment. If the Planning Commission supports the proposed ordinance amendment, staff requests a formal recommendation for the ordinance amendment and continue the discussion of the Conditional Use Permit to February 24, 2026. This will allow the City Council to act on the ordinance amendment on February 17, 2026, and provide staff with additional time to review the CUP in more detail.

Adopting a growth -oriented model, the plan positions principals as coaches who collaborate with teachers using domain -specific rubrics to establish performance standards, set individual goals, and track progress. Teachers are categorized along a professional learning continuum with three phases —Standards of Performance, Growth Model, and Teacher Leader —tailored to their experience and needs. The process includes initial goal -setting meetings; regular mini -observations, debrief discussions, mid -year reviews, and end -of -year summative evaluations to foster continuous improvement and alignment with Minnesota's Standards of Effective Practice.

Background/Discussion Fire admin will be traveling to Pierce Manufacturing in the first week of March for the final review of our new aerial. The aerial fire truck final payment due is $2,058,746.34. We have enough fund balance in the Building Reserve Fund to cover the cost. Using this fund allows us to capture the interest of the internal loan. A 15-yr loan at 4% interest would be an annual payment of $142,739.72. A similar loan over 20 years would be $107,054.79. This will be added to the fire department budget paid through the annual tax levy. The truck is expected to have a 25-30-year lifecycle. Staff will deduct from the loan an amount equal to what is received through auction for the existing aerial. Financial Impact The Building Reserve Fund has a balance of $6,689,363.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Elk River, Minnesota, that the Minnesota State Flag, as modified in 1983 will be flown on City property. Page 211 of 270 Good evening, Mayor Dietz and members of the Elk River City Council. My name is Gary Tonsager; I'm a long-time resident of Elk River and Elk River business owner. Thank you for allowing me to speak today. I'm here to advocate for flying Minnesota's traditional state flag on city property and rejecting the new flag design. This is about honoring our heritage, respecting the democratic processes, and exercising our local rights. I'll keep this to about three minutes. Our original flag was adopted in 1893 after a public contest for the Chicago World's Fair, it featured the state seal on a blue field, symbolizing our agricultural roots, frontier spirit, and motto ' L'Etoile du Nord" — the Star of the North. Updated slightly in 1957 and 1983 for clarity, it has flown proudly for over a century, representing Minnesota's unique identity. Compare that with the process for the new flag, adopted in 2024. In 2023, the le ive t�;recta created the State Emblems Redesign Commission — a 13-member appointed committee, not elected by the people. This group included appointees from various councils and three public members selected by Governor Walz, plus the Secretary of State as a voting member. The only elected official who voted on the approval was Secretary of State Steve Simon — no broader legislative vote or public referendum occurred. The design automatically became official on May 11, 2024. Many Minnesotans view this as an undemocratic, top -down imposition, resulting in a flag that feels generic and disconnected from our shared history. This new Minnesota Statutes § 1.141 only mandates the display of the official state flag on the State Capitol grounds between sunrise and sunset. This statute does not impose any such requirement on municipalities, counties, or other local entities, making the choice of which flag to fly a matter of local policy discretion. For example, the cities of Champlin and St. Francis just recently adopted resolutions to fly the original flag on city property, asserting their community's preference. That's why I'm asking you to consider a similar resolution for Elk River. I've prepared a pre -written resolution for your review, which I'll provide today. It would direct city staff to fly the traditional flag, honoring what unites our residents. In closing, I say, let's fly the traditional flag to preserve our heritage, reject an unelected redesign, and affirm our local control. I urge you to adopt this resolution. Thank you for your time — I'd be happy to answer questions.

Background/Discussion FT Center staff receive consistent feedback on the lack of accessible, close -by, and convenient parking at the FT Center and ISD 728 Stadium during the school day and special events. Numerous vehicles disregard the facility fire lane, park on the grass (disturbing irrigation and landscaping), or require Senior Activity Center members and other program participants to access the FT Center from great distances. Staff is negotiating access, construction costs, and maintenance expenses with ISD 728 to equitably share in the investment of additional parking. Financial Impact The project is included in the 2026 CIP. The CIP identified the Building Reserve Fund to fund the project, and an interfund loan resolution will be necessary this summer. The FT Center Special Revenue Fund will make payments for these improvements over a I 0-year amortization schedule at 4% interest. Mission/Policy/Goal Meet changing needs - agile.

Background/Discussion Councilmember Calva received a request from a resident regarding the amount of truck engine braking, also known as Jake braking. Jake brakes use air pressure in the engine to slow the vehicle, but not stop it. Typical braking systems are needed to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. Jake brakes save wear and tear on heavy vehicle brake systems, improving safety. They also make a lot of noise. Jake braking is statutorily legal in Minnesota, and Elk River currently does not have an ordinance prohibiting it. Jake braking generally does not violate the Elk River noise ordinance. During the 169 Redefine project, MnDOT required Ames Construction to place temporary signage, including stop signs at the CSAH 33/TH 169 exit/entrance to assist gravel haulers and increase vehicular safety. Over the years, we have had numerous complaints about Jake braking. Enforcement of ordinances prohibiting Jake braking can be a challenge, especially with major highway systems and the number of heavy trucks that traverse Elk River daily with gravel mines, landfill, and numerous trucking firms based in town. The Council should discuss the concerns and provide staff direction to address such concerns.

Brian Calva First Name Chris Last Name Miller Reply Email Address Subject Air Brake ban for city limits of Elk River (Section Break) Comments Good morning Brian, As a 30 year resident of Elk River I have experienced an Page 234 of 270 increase in the noise caused by larger trucks using air braking along the 169 corridor. This is especially true along the Cty Rd 33 and 169 intersection. I am sure that this is also happening along other routes taken by the larger trucks on routes that boarder residential areas such as ours along Auburn St. NW. I would like to know how to start the process of having the city ban the use of air braking within the city limits of Elk River. I know we had a temporary ban with signs in place during the 169 project the past couple of years. although this did not eliminate all of the problems it greatly reduced the noise and use of air braking. I have talked with some of those in our neighbor hood and we agree that this is a growing nuisance. Please advise as to what I can do to bring this change to our growing city. respectfully, Chris Miller Disclaimer Information submitted is considered public data. Email not displaying correctly?

We don't have a city ordinance that deals specifically with jake braking but our public nuisance ordinance covers excessive and unnecessary vehicle and exhaust noise which may be useful though subjective. We have a decibel meter at the PD that we can use in conjunction with traffic surveys to determine the number of trucks passing through the area in a given time frame, how many of them jake brake, and what the decibel readings are. We can always adopt a specific jake braking ordinance but as I'm sure you are aware a significant amount of commerce in the city revolves around trucking and we could certainly expect strong contrary opinions to the ordinance from our local truckers. You can anticipate that they will point out the increased safety in dynamic braking as well as the savings to them on vehicle wear and tear (most specifically brakes). Mr. Huberty mentions he can't have his windows "open at night". I'm unaware of significant truck traffic in that area at night but I can have my staff monitor that as well. I am forwarding these concerns to Capt. Nierenhausen and the patrol sergeants to evaluate and address.

Subdivision 1. Motor vehicle. Every motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle, when operated upon a highway, shall be equipped with brakes adequate to control the movement of and to stop and hold such vehicle, including two separate means of applying the brakes, each of which means shall be effective to apply the brakes to at least two wheels. If these two separate means of applying the brakes are connected in any way, they shall be so constructed that failure of any one part of the operating mechanism shall not leave the motor vehicle without brakes on at least two wheels. The requirement in this subdivision for separate braking systems does not apply to a commercial motor vehicle described in section 169.781. subdivision 5, paragraph (d). Subd. 2. Motorcycle and bicycle. Every motorcycle, and bicycle with motor attached, when operated upon a highway, shall be equipped with at least one brake, which may be operated by hand or foot. Subd. 3. Trailer, semitrailer. (a) No trailer or semitrailer with a gross weight of 3,000 or more pounds, or a gross weight that exceeds the empty weight of the towing vehicle, may be drawn on a highway unless it is equipped with brakes that are adequate to control the movement of and to stop and hold the trailer or semitrailer. A surge brake on a trailer or semitrailer meets the requirement of this paragraph for brakes adequate to stop and hold the trailer or semitrailer.

The advantage is a properly installed and maintained engine brake is not that loud, and you are not prohibiting the use of what can arguably called safety equipment. The downside is you need to buy noise meters and train police to use them. Post a Reply][Back to Top] discussion 11 Help l FHWA Home Select A Topic...

[Post a Reply][Back to Top] Re: Engine / Exhaust Brakes ("Jake Brake") Dave Woodin, PE, PTOE, New York State DOT, DWOODIN@dot. state. ny.us 05/10/2006 New York does not allow the use of a sign to ban the use of a jake brake. However, as noted in another reply, we have installed a sign near Ithaca detailing the state noise law regarding decibels for certain vehicles at certain speeds. It is very difficult to enforce and requires an officer to http://knowledge.fbwa.dot.gov/cops/opspublic.nsf/discussionDisplay?Open&id=4F26938... 07/1 OQ�1J48 of 270 Discussion Topic: Engine / Exhaust Brakes ("Jake Brake") Page 2 of 7 have a noise meter. The following is an excerpt from a letter that I have used in the past for communities that wish to ban jake brakes and have appropriate signing. A tip of the hat goes to Maine DOT whose web site I borrowed from heavily. Numerous communities have proposed noise abatement legislation in the past. We have advised them that noise restrictions can be enacted per Section 386 of the Vehicle & Traffic Law, but the outright prohibition of the use of engine brakes, commonly referred to as "jake brakes" is not encouraged as it may violate Federal regulations regarding interstate commerce. The Maine Department of Transportation has a web site that discusses the problem of jake brake noise and efforts by communities to control it. Pertinent information from their website is highlighted. The Jake Brake is a registered trademark of Jacob Vehicle Systems. The term "Jake Brake" is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to compression release type engine brakes in general. The Jacobs Engine Brake is a device that mounts on the engine overhead. The principle behind the Jacobs Engine Brake engine retarder is simple. It changes the action of the exhaust valves, turning the engine into a giant compressor. It makes a distinctive sound while in operation, and converts a power producing diesel engine into a power -absorbing retarding mechanism. It is typically used on class 7 and 8 vehicles and can be activated or deactivated at the flip of a switch or foot pedal. A "jake brake" can provide the following: • Faster, steadier, more efficient braking performance • Reduced wear on engine, tires, and service brakes. • Lower vehicle maintenance costs. • Less vehicle downtime. • Enhanced driver confidence. Enacting a traffic ordinance to deal with jake brake use may seem like a kind and responsive action to improve quality of life, but the issue that needs to be addressed is the issue of public safety possibly being compromised. Engine brakes are very effective at reducing the speed of heavy trucks on a downgrade, but what if the trucker had to stop quickly for an elderly person or entering vehicle, and only use the regular brakes? In most cases, the distance will be longer without the engine braking system and this could lead to problems at the bottom of the hill. The Federal government has required all vehicles manufactured since 1978 to meet noise requirements when delivered to the customer. Today, trucks are required to emit less than 80 dBa of noise when they drive by, as measured at 50 feet. So trucks have been required to meet noise requirements when they leave the dealership as new vehicles for quite some time. In many "noisy truck" areas, the real problem is modified of defective exhaust systems. There is a good chance that the noisy trucks are running with straight stacks or gutted mufflers. Some are poorly maintained vehicles, while others have drivers who simply enjoy making noise. In any case, the use of the engine brake may not be the problem. The real problem in this noise issue is the illegal exhaust systems in many trucks. At other times, it may be the engine braking system, which is being used by the driver who has not tried to slow down in advance of a hill or traffic signal. The regulations on vehicle noise relating to engine/muffler systems need to be enforced. Otherwise, a town would be fining for using engine brakes (sometimes being used justifiably) and not fining for the illegal muffler system. Most states, including Maine (editor note: New York also), already have a law on the books that prohibits operating a motor vehicle on a public highway without a serviceable muffler. The real noise offenders, those with straight stacks or gutted mufflers, are operating in violation of this law. Police agencies have the authority to stop noisy vehicles and check them for muffler integrity. Cite those that are not in compliance. This is a fairly easy step that should produce a noticeable improvement in the quality of life for a http://knowledge.fhwa.dot.gov/cops/opspublic.nsf/discussionDisplay?Open&id=4F26938... 07/10QjQ1J49 of 270 Discussion Topic: Engine / Exhaust Brakes ("Jake Brake") Page 3 of 7 community. In New York, the appropriate section of the Vehicle & Traffic Law is Section 386, Motor Vehicle Sound Level Limits. A copy of the law is attached as well as an illustration of a State Law sign that we have used on State highways in areas where noise has been a problem. Since the jake brake is a legitimate safety device, we do not support prohibiting its use where justified. However, we realize that it is used inappropriately at times and this can create quality of life problems. As the Maine DOT website says, we believe most of the noise emitted is the result of faulty exhaust systems, and the best solution may be to enforce the Vehicle & Traffic Law on vehicle sound level limits at problem locations.

The number of the ordinance is then printed on the sign. NJ might be different. [Post a Reply][Back to Top] Re: Engine / Exhaust Brakes ("Jake Brake") Jan 05/10/2006 Oregon wrangled with this one and has ended up with a law that the use of 'engine brakes' can be prohibitted by signing a specific area - except when needed for safety. The term 'engine brakes' was chosen by our legislature because it was in common usage, even though it is technically incorrect. It is difficult to enforce because police don't like to make the call that use wasn't necessary. Our complaints are usually either at the edges of a rural community or residents along a downhill section of a fast road. The DOT requires a history of documented complaints with a review by the local DOT traffic folks before signing a section of highway. Some cities have ordinances designating the 'no engine braking' area. The signs read: UNMUFFLED ENGINE BRAKING PROHIBITED Max Fine $720. There is a variation with STATE LAW header for POE's.

[Post a Reply][Back to Top] Re: Engine / Exhaust Brakes ("Jake Brake") Bill Harclerode, Road Noise Group, roadnoisenj@gmail.com 04/28/2010 Our group is working to try to stop the prevalent use of unmuffled engine braking in NJ. All trucks have engine brakes, you cannot ban engine braking itself as it is perceived by NJDOT as a safety device that helps trucks stop better. But approx. 5% of trucks operate with illegally modified mufflers, which don't adequately muffle the engine braking noise. The very loud low -frequency noise travels for miles and keeps many people awake at night. In NJ it is illegal to operate any motor vehicle that does not have an effective muffler. Local police can enforce this under the NJ effective muffler law NJSA 39:370, a local ordinance is not needed. Only NJ Police can enforce laws on interstate highways, but they don't enforce unmuffled engine braking. Part of the problem is that the fine is only $48. NJ Bill A703 (still in committee) increases the fine to $500, the same as several other states. The other reason Sate Police do not enforce this is that it is a quality of life issue, not a safety issue, and so it does not get high enough priority. LAstly, truck weigh/inspection stations are not being adequately staffed by State Police and are closed more than they are open.

[Post a Reply][Back to Top] Re: Engine / Exhaust Brakes ("Jake Brake") Truck Driver 09/22/2010 As a driver I see the problem from both sides of the fence. An engine brake is the third most important safety device on a class 8 truck "Exp. Driver 1, brakes 2". It has done more to reduce crashes and deaths than ALL other laws combined. But, it can be very loud and annoying. While I would NEVER turn mine off, I do make sure that my exhaust is working properly. If a community has a problem with the noise engine brakes cause there are a few solutions that will work very well. The easy solution is give tickets to trucks without mufflers "no training needed just the ability to see". The second is to measure the noise level produced "trainnig needed". The problem with ALL the solutions that everyone has suggested so far is it doesn't fix/solve the problem. The two I suggested WILL solve the problem if you give the ticket to the OWNER of the truck and not the driver. By giving the driver a ticket, he/she may not use the brake when really needed "explain that to a lost love one". And, the truck will never get repaired and or muffler because it cost the owner nothing. Last but not least. Sooner or later a lawyer will defeat your "no brake law" costing you thousands... maybe more.

Noises prohibited generally. (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to make, continue or cause to be made or continued any excessive, unnecessary or unusually loud noise or any noise which either annoys, disturbs, injures or endangers the comfort, repose, health, peace or safety of persons within the city limits. Parades or festivals authorized by the city are expressly exempt from the provisions of this section. (b) The following acts, among others, are declared to be loud, disturbing and unnecessary noises in violation of this section, but this enumeration shall not be deemed to be exclusive: the new subsection: (7) Exhausts and use of compression release engine braking systems. The discharge into the open air of the exhaust of any electric engine, steam engine, internal combustion engine, motor board, motor vehicle or other motor of any type except through a muffler or other device which effectively prevent loud or explosive noises therefrom, and, the use, operation or engagement of any compression release engine braking system within the city which is designed to slow the speed of a vehicle by turning the engine into an air compressor (commonly referred to as a Jacobs brake, Jake brake, engine brake or compression brake). This subsection shall not apply to fire engines or other emergency vehicles.

Background/Discussion During the 2026 city budget process, Mayor Dietz suggested consideration of an increase to the Elk River Municipal Utility Payment in Lieu of Taxes (ERMU PILOT). In 2012, the city and ERMU entered into an agreement in which ERMU took possession of all street and signal lights. The agreement was amended in 2022 to account for added trail lighting along TH 10, downtown banners/wreaths, and flags on power poles. The budget ask of ERMU was to match the average PILOT as surveyed by APPA, which was 5%. ERMU claimed their PILOT contribution of 4% was exclusive of donated power, maintenance, and services to the city. ERMU has committed to paying a PILOT of 5% and billing the city for electricity to the streetlights. The anticipated annual new cost is approximately $250,000, which equates to about 0.5% of the PILOT increase. For 2026, $1.5 million of the PILOT is used to support the General Fund. $28,000 is budgeted for the Elk River Library. If any funds remain, they will be transferred to the Equipment Replacement Fund. ERMU has begun billing the city for electricity for street/signal lights. Because everyone in the city benefits from street/signal lights, it is typical practice to bill each property through a utility fee rather than using the property tax levy. The Council should consider the following options and provide staff direction. 1) Increase the electric portion of the existing franchise fee to raise the necessary revenue. The residential impact would be $1.35/month 2) Pay for the electric bill through the existing PILOT, reducing the amount used for the General Fund. 3) Forego the 5% and have ERMU cover the electricity. In the proposed agreement, ERMU seeks to recover replacement, maintenance, and labor costs on the street/signal light assets from the city. This is above the retail rate they are charging the city for electricity. ERMU currently covers the cost of their other labor, maintenance, and asset replacement through their The Elk River Vision A avelcoming community zvitb revolutionary and spirited resourcefulness, exceptional service, and community p p W E H E U A Y engagement that encourages and inspires prosperity 112 270 electric rate. As the owner of streetlight assets, ERMU's budget and rate structure covered the operational and maintenance costs of the lighting assets.
