Hugo City Council Minutes for June 1, 2009 Page 6 of 7 Approve Cost Share Agreement with RCWD to Develop Regional Storm Water Treatment CIP Water Resource Engineer Pete Willenbring has been working with the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) to develop a cooperative agreement that will allow for the development of storm water management solutions and water re -use options that can be applied on a regional scale to the benefit of the City and RCWD as a whole. Water Resources Engineer Pete Willenbring provided Council with an overview of the proposed agreement. Pete explained the RCWD and the City of Hugo are faced with future restrictions in total maximum daily load allocations (TMDL) for areas tributary to Hardwood Creek and Clearwater Creek. The cost and impact of these restrictions could be significant, and to most effectively meet future TMDL allocations and RCWD plan requirements, a joint study with the RCWD and City of Hugo was developed to identify treatment projects that address needs on a regional basis rather than individual improvements on each site. The study will also specifically focus on re -use of stormwater runoff for irrigation. The Scope of Work is estimated at $137,780, and the City of Hugo is asked to contribute $25,000 toward to project. Petryk made motion, Haas seconded, to approve the Scope of Work and authorize moving ahead with the project upon execution of a cost share agreement with the RCWD. All Ayes. Motion carried. Discussion on Ordinance Violation at 5941 Oneka Lake Boulevard (Viola Maslowski) In fall of 2008 the City received a complaint regarding junk vehicles and debris on Viola Maslowski's property located at 5941 Oneka Lake Blvd N. Staff sent a letter and set up a meeting with the property owner in December 2008. At that time Ms. Maslowski and her son Ken set a date of March 31, 2009 to remove the junk vehicles and miscellaneous junk from the property. Staff followed up with this complaint after March 31St to find little to no progress being made on the property. Staff sent a final notice to the property owner on May 5, 2008 asking once again that the property be brought up to code by May 25, 2008. Since the final notice, there has been some noticeable progress, however the property still has not been brought up to conformance. Viola and her son Ken Maslowski were present at this meeting. Community Development Bryan Bear showed pictures of the property taken in March, and Ken pointed out where progress has been made in the removal of junk. Klein made motion, Haas seconded, to allow the Maslowskis until June 30, 2009 to clean up the property, removing the remaining junk and unlicensed vehicles. After some discussion, Klein withdrew his motion and Haas withdrew his second. Weidt made motion, Klein seconded to allow the Maslowskis until June 15, 2009 to clean up the property, removing the remaining junk and unlicensed vehicles and place this item on the June 15, 2009 City Council agenda for discussion. All Ayes. Motion carried.
