ORDINANCE TO ESTABLISH CITY FEE SCHEDULE At its January 22, 2002 meeting, the Hugo City Council reviewed with staff the draft City fee schedule, as prepared by Computer Integrated Technologies, suggesting increases in a variety of City fees.

CITY S MANAGEMENT PLAN (RCWD REQUESTS CITY TO COMPLETE SNVMM MODEL) Water Resource Engineer Pete Willenbring from WSB Engineers resubmitted the City's Stormwater Management Plan to the Rice Creek Watershed District for acceptance and approval late last fall. RCWD officials are in the process of reviewing the plan and have suggested the SWMM Model be used to model some of the stormwater collection system west of TH61. RCWD's Engineer EOR met with City officials one month ago to discuss this work. Pete Willenbring presented this issue to Council for discussion and a decision regarding a need for the additional SWMM modeling. The Council felt that the additional modeling would benefit the RCWD as much as the City. Miron made motion, Haas seconded, directing staff to incorporate language in the City's Water Stormwater Management acknowledging benefit of the additional modeling for the RCWD and that the City would be willing to provide leadership in a joint cooperative study to identify the flowage downstream of TH61.
