City looking to Acquire land for Parks The City of Hugo would like to acquire land for neighborhood parks,active recreational areas,and open spaces. "We are primarily interested in land located in the central portion of the City," explains Community Development Director John Rask, "but we wouldn't rule out any parcel of 20 to 100 acres suitable for active recreation purposes." Funds for purchasing this land come from the City's park dedi- cation fund,which is obtained from new development in the City. A$1,700 fee is collected and deposit- ,d into this fund when new residential lots are created. Anyone who is interested in selling land to the City of Hugo is asked to contact City Administrator Mike Ericson at City Hall or Parks Commission member Pete Pedersen at 651-426-4126.
