They worked on <br />four projects. With the help of <br />representatives from the <br />Washington Conservation Dis- <br />trict, invasive species were re- <br />moved from the wetlands on <br />the property of Oneka Elemen- <br />tary. The boards at the hockey <br />rink at Hugo Elementary got a <br />fresh coat of paint. Invasive <br />species were also removed <br />from the rain gardens at Hugo <br />City Hall. The fourth project <br />included marking the storm <br />water drains to alert residents <br />to be aware of what is being <br />put in the drain as it goes to <br />local lakes. This project was in <br />partnership with the Rice <br />Creek Watershed District. <br />Each of the projects included a <br />component that the teachers <br />could educated their students <br />about. White Bear Lake Area <br />Schools, and especially our <br />local elementary schools have <br />great atti- <br />tudes for giv- <br />ing back to <br />the communi- <br />ty they are a <br />part of. <br />Thank you to <br />the teacher <br />volunteers for <br />being great <br />role models to <br />the Hugo youth <br />and for our <br />community. <br />Teachers from Oneka and <br />Hugo Elementary Schools <br />took a break from staff <br />Of <br />A Year in Review <br />The Parks Commission <br />heard a request from two <br />youth who wanted to see a <br />piece of equipment re- <br />placed at Frog Hollow Park <br />because they felt it was un- <br />safe. They did a poll of <br />their neighborhood and <br />chose to have a multi- <br />user swing installed, <br />which the Parks Com- <br />mission approved. Mi- <br />nor equipment replace- <br />ments were also made at <br />Diamond Point Park and <br />Oneka Lake Park. <br />The Parks Commission <br />was partnered in a study <br />of athletic facilities by <br />White Bear Lake Area <br />Schools. The results of the <br />study will likely be used in <br />future park planning. <br />Continuing to expand the <br />contact with residents, the <br />City of Hugo's facebook <br />has grown to over 74o fol- <br />lowers. <br />The Hanifl Fields Athletic <br />Park was utilized by two <br />local soccer organizations <br />and was home to the MYSA <br />State Tournament which <br />included 58 games over the <br />course of 5 days. This is <br />the largest tournament <br />held at the facility which <br />was opened in 2010. <br />Recreation Program Report <br />The City of Hugo contin- <br />ues to partner with several <br />organizations to provide <br />additional recreation pro- <br />grams for residents. <br />The Hugo Business Associ- <br />ation puts on the Kidz`N <br />Biz Fest each year. Several <br />local businesses and the <br />Hugo Lions Club also sup- <br />port the Tour de Hugo. <br />Another successful event <br />that the City has built over <br />the years is the Snow Jam <br />which had 120 partici- <br />pants. <br />In partnership with the <br />White Bear Lake School <br />District, these programs <br />are offered in Hugo: <br />• Tot Time/ Family Time <br />• Volleyball&Basketball <br />Open Gym at Oneka Ele- <br />mentary School <br />• Teen Movie Matinees <br />• Snow Jam <br />Other recreation programs <br />continued in 2013 include: <br />• Park Play Days <br />• Geocaching Adventure <br />• Movie Nights at Oneka Ele- <br />mentary School <br />• Outdoor Movie Night at <br />Hanifl Fields Athletic Park <br />• Skyhawks Sports Camps <br />• Sledding Party <br />New programs in 2013 are: <br />• Teen Movie Matinees <br />• Nature Camp <br />• Great American Camp Out <br />The majority of recreation <br />programs offered by the <br />City of Hugo are free for <br />residents. To offset the <br />costs, the City relies on <br />contributions from local <br />businesses. In 2013, over <br />$4,800 in total was donat- <br />ed by 25 local businesses to <br />make the many events and <br />programs possible. The <br />remaining program costs <br />are offset by the fees col- <br />lected for the rental of the <br />fields at Hanilf Fields Ath- <br />letic Park. <br />It is estimated that over <br />1,300 people participated <br />in a City of Hugo program <br />or event in 2013. <br />
