LOCAL WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR LGU AUTHORITY The Hugo City Council identified as one of its top -ten goals for 2004, the transfer of the local governing unit (LGU) responsibilities from the Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) to the City of Hugo. Phil Belfiori from WSB Engineers outlined the required steps necessary at the April 5, 2004 meeting, at which time the City Council approved the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the RCWD, which the RCWD approved its meeting on April 28, 2004. The next step in the process is for the City Council to adopt certain RCWD rules by reference. Since this involves the adoption of ordinances, a public hearing is required and was scheduled for this meeting. Phil Belfiori was present and provided a PowerPoint presentation of the process for implementing these responsibilities. Acting Mayor Petryk opened the public hearing to take any and all public comment on the issue, including submittal of written documents. John Arcand commented that the RCWD did not know of the 165' Street ditch project. Marvin LaValle questioned whether residents in other watershed districts should have to pay outside their own watershed districts. He was informed that the LGU should be self-supporting, not relying on general funds. Council member Chuck Haas suggested the possibility of the City becoming the LGU for the entire community, which would include the other two watershed districts. The public hearing was closed for Council discussion. If the City Council adopts the proposed Ordinances, the City will assume LGU authority beginning June 1, 2004. Haas made motion, Granger seconded, to adopt RESOLUTION 2004-20 ASSUMING THE SOLE PERMIT AUTHORITY TO ISSUE PERMITS FOR AND REGULATE ACTIVITIES AFFECTING WATER RESOURCES WITHIN THE CITY OF HUGO.
