Hugo Tornado Disaster Toy Drive - Pete Pederse and Sandy Niemczyk As Council was informed at its November 3, 2008 by Administrative Intern Shelly Clausen, the Long Term Disaster Recovery Committee suggested working with the Hugo Fire Department for a collection of toys during the annual toy drive and make them available to the families that were affected by the May 25, 2008 tornado disaster. Chair of the Long Term Disaster Recovery Committee Jim Gondek publicly thanked St. Johns Church, Salvation Army, United Way, Hugo Lions Club, Lino Lakes Lions Club, and all others who contributed to the recovery fund, and he reiterated that the City of Hugo was not involved with the distribution of those funds except providing an intern to provide administrative support to the committee. He explained the next meeting would be the following morning and the public was invited to attend. Meetings were expected to be less frequent, only once a month during December, January, and February, with plans to dissolve the committee by June 1, 2009. Should there still be money in the fund, he anticipated that notices would be sent out to the affected residents. He encouraged continued donations to the fund as well as to the Christmas Decoration Drive and Hugo Toy Drive. Jim thanked the various service organizations that had come forward to make these events happen. Hugo Lions Member Pete Pedersen and member of the Women's Auxiliary Sandy Niemczyk explained the Hugo Tornado Toy Drive would soon begin and encouraged donations of toys, food, and money. Toys would be distributed by invitation to nearly 75 children on December 13, 14, and 15 at the Rice Lake Centre Community Room with any remaining toys to be donated to the Hugo Food Shelf to fulfill their needs, and toys still remaining would be donated to Toys for Tots. Checks should be made payable to Hugo Tornado Toy Drive or the Women's Auxiliary, and there would be 15-18 drop off sites around the City with City Hall being one of the locations. Petition for Closure of Goodview Avenue South into Grant — Washington County Engineer Don Theisen Early in October 2008, the City of Hugo received a copy of a petition from White Bear Township that residents living along Goodview Avenue south into the City of Grant had submitted both to the City of Grant and White Bear Township for the proposed closure of Goodview Avenue. Residents signing the petition were from both the City of Grant and White Bear Township who did not want to see the hundreds of vehicle trips a day on the gravel road in front of their homes. White Bear Township officials considered the petition at a meeting late October and were interested in resolving this issue.
