RESOLUTION NO. 2010-27 <br />CITY OF HUGO <br />WASHINGTON COUNTY, MINNESOTA <br />A RESOLUTION DECLARING ADEQUACY OF PETITION AND DENYING THE <br />ORDERING OF REPORT <br />WHEREAS, on June 7, 2010 at the regularly scheduled City of Hugo City Council Meeting, the <br />City Council heard a presentation given by a resident regarding the need for street reconstruction <br />and utility improvements on certain parts of Ethan Avenue and Everton Avenue in the City of <br />Hugo, and <br />WHEREAS, said resident submitted to the council that certain petition, which requested the <br />improvement of Ethan Avenue adjacent to Bald Eagle Lake, and <br />WHEREAS, the City Council directed city staff and the city attorney to review said petition and <br />determine the validity thereof. <br />WHEREAS, on June 7, 2010, pursuant to the authority granted under Minn. Stat. Ch. 429, the <br />City Council, by its own initiative, proposed to make certain improvements on Ethan Avenue <br />adjacent to Bald Eagle Lake and to assess the benefited properties for all or a portion of the cost <br />of said improvements, and ordered a Feasibility Study to assess the need and cost of said <br />improvements. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Hugo, <br />Minnesota, as follows: <br />1. A certain petition requesting the improvement of Ethan Avenue adjacent to Bald <br />Eagle Lake, filed with the City Council on June 7, 2010, is hereby declared to be <br />signed by the required percentage of owners of property affected thereby. The <br />declaration is made in conformity to Minn. Stat. § 429.035. <br />2. The petition proposes improvements that are duplicative of the improvements <br />initiated by the City Council at its June 7, 2010 meeting. Therefore, initiating <br />improvements pursuant to the petition are unnecessary. <br />3. Ordering a Feasibility Study to investigate the need for the improvement proposed by <br />the petition would be superfluous and would result in an unnecessary use of the City's <br />resources, as the City Council at its June 7, 2010 meeting ordered a Feasibility Study <br />for substantially similar improvements. <br />
