LIONS REQUEST The Hugo Lions Club requested that the City participate, on an equal basis, with the Club in the purchase of two bleachers for use in the Hugo park. The cost of the two bleachers is $51745.00. Miron made motion, Leroux: seconded, that the City of Hugo participate in the amount of $1,500 in the purchase of two bleachers for use in the Hugo park.. All aye. Motion Carried. WBL COMMUNITY EDUCATION REQUEST Mr. Dave Guenther, Director of Community Services and Recreation for the WBL School District, requested that the City of Hugo consider taking over the daily maintenance of the two ballfields located in the City park, as well as the two ballfields at Hugo Elementary School, during the summer months when they are used for community softball. The City does not have the equipment necessary to maintain these ballfields, and a tractor and draq would need to be purchased or leased by the City. Staff estimates labor costs, based on Mr. Guenther's estimates of two hours of work daily, at approximately $700 for the season. If the Council is receptive to the school district's request, staff recommended that, rather than taking responsibility for the ballfield maintenance, the City make a contribution towards labor expense, as the school district already has the equipment to maintain the fields. Miron made motion, Goiffon seconded, directing City staff to inform the Dave Guenther, WBL Community Services Director, that his request for financial aid from the City is not a budgeted item, and the City is denying the request. All aye. Motion Carried. LETTER REGARDING SPEED LIMIT ON 125TH STREET At the last Council meeting, Mayor Miron presented a letter from a resident regarding lowering of speed limits on 125the Street. A letter from the City Administrator addressing the resident's concerns was provided to the Council for their information. REQUEST TO RESERVE CITY PARK (MIRON)
