Hugo City Council Minutes October 6, 2008 Page 5 of 9 event included an assurance that the city would assist the responders in getting their vehicles repaired. Fifteen city employees incurred damage to their personal vehicles, the vast majority of which was covered by private insurance policies. These employees are now seeking to be reimbursed for the deductibles they paid when they repaired their vehicles. The total amount involved is $7,850.00. These amounts are over and above the normal operating costs incurred by the City in responding to this tragedy, thus the city will be seeking state assistance in covering these expenditures. The Finance Department requests official City Council approval prior to disbursing these funds. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the reimbursement to City employees for damage to personal vehicles Approve City Sponsorship of the Hugo Health Fair on November 8, 2008 On Saturday, November 8, 2008, the Oneka Chiropractic Clinic and members of the Hugo Business Association will hold the fifth annual Hugo Health Fair at the Oneka Elementary School. The wellness fair has grown each year with participation by members of the Hugo Business Association as well as outside organizations like the American Red Cross and Salvation Army. The City has provided co- sponsorship of the event in order to support the Hugo Business Association in its efforts to share wellness opportunities with residents and their families. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the co-sponsorship for the third consecutive year for the Hugo Health Fair scheduled for Saturday, November 8, 2008 at the Oneka Elementary School. Approve Pay Request No .9 from EnComm Midwest, Inc. for Well House No. 5 EnComm, Inc. has submitted Pay Request No. 9 to the City of Hugo for work completed to date on construction of Well House No. 5. Public Works Director Scott Anderson has reviewed the pay request and found it to be satisfactory for work completed on the project. Adoption of the Consent Agenda approved the Pay Request No. 9 from EnComm Midwest, Inc in the amount of $5,164.20 for work completed to date on the construction of Well House No. 5. Approve Bald Eagle Sportsman Association Special Use Permit Amendment and Review Hugo Resident Kevin Rhodes asked this item to be removed from the Consent Agenda. The Bald Eagle Sportsman Association (BESA) has a special use permit (SUP) to operate a gun club on property located at 6557 125th Street. The gun club is requesting to amend its SUP to allow removal of an office trailer and outhouse with a holding tank. They would then construct a 26x40 range office building and install a 2000 gallon holding tank for the building. The proposed building will match the other permanent buildings that are on the property. Staff visited the gun club on September 11, 2008 and is not aware of any violations of the existing SUP. Condition 19 of the existing permit states that it shall be reviewed prior to December 1St of the even -numbered years or if the SUP is amended or violated. Staff finds BESA to be in compliance with the SUP. At its September 25, 2008 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing for consideration of this request to amend the SUP and for review of the special use permit. There was no one that spoke at the public hearing besides Al Savage, President of the gun club. Staff recommended approval of the SUP amendment and review of the SUP for compliance. The Planning Commission unanimously approved the SUP amendment and SUP review. Council Member Puleo refrained from the discussion on voting because he is a member of BESA. Kevin Rhodes, 12160 Upper Heather Avenue, had concerns that conditions in the resolution and existing SUP have not been met, specifically issues of noise abatement and lead reclamation. Community
