Funds for purchasing this land would come from the City's park dedication fund, which <br /> is obtained from new development in the City. A $1,350 fee is collected and deposited into this fund when <br /> new residential lots are created. <br /> Anyone who is interested in selling land to the City of Hugo is asked to contact City Administrator Mike <br /> Ericson at City Hall or Parks Commission member Pete Pedersen at 651-426-4126. <br />
