City Council meeting of July 3, 2000 <br />Page 5 <br />The Council felt that the drafted conditions for CUP approval were too vague, as they did not <br />address, in enough detail, the vehicle repair business and storage of vehicles, and access route for <br />emergency vehicles. <br />Haas made motion, Leroux seconded, to table this matter until the meeting of July 17, 2000. <br />All aye. Motion Carried. <br />FUNDING OF MNDNR (WILDLAND URBAN INTERFACE PROJECT) <br />At its June 14, 2000 meeting, the Hugo Parks Commission considered an opportunity to obtain <br />grant funds to work with the DNR to complete the wildland-urban interface project. Money to <br />complete the total wildland-urban interface project would come from a variety of sources, and <br />include grant and non -state in kind matches. The Commission recommended that the City Council <br />commit $12,000 of park dedication funds for the project, and an additional $9,560 is required to <br />complete the MLCCS project. Other funding is as follows: $1,440 from the Brown's Creek <br />Natural Resource Inventory from the DNR; $6,000 from the USDAFS; $2,000 from the RCWD; <br />and $6,400 from the MNRL. Peggy Sand, from the DNR, presented this issue to the City Council, <br />The benefits of this inventory will be that the GIS -based map will identify, classify, and map <br />vegetative -cover types for all the 36 square miles of the City. This information will, in turn, be <br />made available to the City as it plans for its future open space needs and parks development <br />projects. One of the sole purposes of this inventory would be for the City use this information, and <br />acquire available properties that maintain respective native vegetation throughout the City. The <br />Council discussed the financial history of this project, and determined that that the request for <br />Hugo financial contribution has increased from $6,000 to $28,000. The City Administrator will <br />contact the Met Council to clarify if the City's matching grant is applicable with respect to this <br />wildlife grant contribution. <br />Stoltzman made motion, Haas seconded, to table this matter until the meeting of July 17, 2000. <br />All aye.
