Hugo City Council Meeting Minutes for October 4, 2010 Page 2 of 9 Forest Lakes Yes for Schools Group — Laurie Kumerow Forest Lake resident Laurie Kumerow requested an opportunity to introduce herself and the Forest Lakes Yes for Schools Group, which is supporting the upcoming levy referendum for the Forest Lake School District. Laurie explained there were two questions on the ballot; one was to replace the current operating levy with one that will help make up for the lack of state funding. This would result in $77 more a year per $100,000 of home value. The other question was for a bond to make needed repairs on the 40+ -year-old school buildings to make them safer and more efficient. Approval of this bond would result in $30 a year per $100,000 home value. Miron made motion, Haas seconded, to direct staff to prepare a resolution supporting the levy for the Forest Lake School District, and present it to the Council at the next meeting. All Ayes. Motion carried.
